Electrosmog: The Shadow of Technology and Its Invisible Influence

In the last century, scientists discovered that energy ‘escapes‘ from live wires in the form of electromagnetic radiation, also known as electrosmog. It comes from various electromagnetic waves and radiation emitted by man-made devices such as cell phones, wireless networks, televisions, radios, as well as power lines and other electrical equipment.

Electromagnetic radiation is an unavoidable part of our environment – it can also be found in nature, with natural sources including storms, the sun, the earth and the stars. Electrosmog has always been present during intense summer thunderstorms and magnetic storms, it’s just that its magnitude has increased significantly over the last 50 years.

Living in an average household today, we receive a much higher dose than we did a few decades ago. The electromagnetic fields in our environment are by-products of the use of machines. We cannot make a machine so perfect that it does not emit an electromagnetic field into the environment.

The human body functions on the basis of electromagnetism. The communication of charged ions, or electricity, coordinates the operational processes of our body. Living in electrosmog increases the body’s voltage, induces eddy currents in the body and can cause functional changes in our organs, immune system and nervous system.

Living beings experience biochemical reactions and generate, use, and sense weak electrical signals. They also produce mysterious fields, similar to electromagnetic fields, which include the energy that spreads along the meridian lines, known mainly from Eastern medicine. Our bodies use this energy along with electricity.

During acupuncture treatment, signal transmission is faster than expected from normal electrochemical transmission in nerves. The effects of electrosmog are complicated to understand and study because our organs react differently to weak external environmental stimuli.

At first glance, electric and magnetic fields seem so weak that they may not warrant attention. However, research shows that both electric and magnetic fields affect life processes, although these effects are so subtle that they are not easy to detect.

We know of several living things that use the Earth’s weak magnetic field for orientation. There are also bacteria that can sense the Earth’s magnetic field. This suggests that we can indeed sense relatively weak, constant magnetic fields, but not through our conscious nervous system. Instead, the influence of external force fields manifests itself slowly, through the silent, muted so-called visceral nervous system.

Electromagnetic fields are not only a source of danger, they can also be used for healing. In the last 10-20 years, electromedicine, or frequency medicine, has begun to gain ground. The effect of electromagnetic fields is similar to that of medicine: in small amounts, precisely dosed, it can heal; in larger amounts, above or below certain doses, it can be harmful.

The main problem is that the subtle, long-term effects of various factors, such as air pollution, the impact of water sources, stress at work, lack of trace elements or vitamins in food, and individual genetic defects, are cumulative and can’t be isolated. Individually, these may not be considered significant risks, but together their combined effects can contribute to health problems.

Electrosmog can primarily be detected by its electrical component. The level of exposure can be easily calculated by summing the exposure over different frequencies. To determine if the level of exposure is dangerous, add the exposure from the lowest to the highest frequency and convert it to the average thermal exposure for the body.

Our bodies react differently to electromagnetic pollution at different frequencies, which can lead to problems such as sleep disturbances, stress, weakened immune systems and reported cases of leukemia.

Although no formal studies have yet found direct evidence of effects on human health, animal studies have already shown adverse effects in a Swedish study conducted every year.

Researchers have reported increased oxidative stress in animals at low levels of exposure to radio waves, some below reference levels. Oxidative stress is a natural biological process that may sometimes be involved in pathogenesis.

Living in a world without electromagnetic pollution is not feasible in today’s society without causing a global economic crisis and panic. So what we can do is start using our devices more wisely. In short, it’s important not to have too many devices and not to use them unnecessarily.

Our modern lives are filled with the convenience of electricity, but the constant use of electrical devices and communication systems emits electric and magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation, known as electrosmog.

Last but not least, be aware that the various small health risks (air pollution, impact of water sources, stress, food poor in trace elements or vitamins, and individual genetic defects, etc.) add up to a major health risk. That is why it is so important to focus on prevention.
