Excerpt
Story at-a-glance
- One of the most pernicious toxins we are exposed to isn’t something you can taste, see, hear or feel; it’s invisible electromagnetic fields (EMF) from electrical wiring and wireless technologies such as your cellphone and Wi-Fi
- There are basically three types of EMF: radio frequencies, microwaves and electromagnetic (electric and magnetic) fields. Low frequency magnetic fields, in particular, affect biological systems, but all forms of EMFs appear to be harmful
- One mechanism of action involves intracellular calcium. EMFs activate voltage-gated calcium channels in the plasma membranes of your cells, which then open up, allowing a tremendous influx of calcium ions
- Cells also start to malfunction due to excessive charges, which alter cellular activity
- A number of remediation strategies are reviewed, from simply keeping your cellphone in airplane mode when not in use, to more expensive strategies such as installing shielded wiring when building a new home

One of the most pernicious toxins we are exposed to isn’t something you can taste, see, hear or feel; it’s invisible electromagnetic fields (EMF) from electrical wiring and wireless technologies such as your cellphone and Wi-Fi. As with other toxins, you want to avoid it to protect your health, but just how do you effectively remediate against EMFs?
This and related questions are answered by Alasdair Philips, founder of Powerwatch,1 a British organization committed to uncovering the details of how EMFs affect health and how we can practically protect ourselves against detrimental effects. Philips was also a member of SAGE, the U.K. Department of Health Stakeholder Group on extremely low frequency (ELF) EMFs,2 and the British Health Protection Agency’s EMF Discussion Group.3
