Technology is fabulous! It has freed us from drudgery and completely revolutionised the way we live our lives. Our world has greatly benefited from the scientific method and of the technology it enables. However, we must not welcome technology with open arms as a matter of principle, or unconditionally. Any new discoveries must be judged and evaluated in the full context for their impact on our health as well as our convenience.
Smartphones have become a way of life for many and wi-fi is everywhere. Bluetooth is commonplace and smart meters and baby monitors are in many households. But what is the evidence concerning the impact on our health?
No one wants to know about the dangers of EMF’s
The truth is that few of us want to hear about any potential dangers of using our smartphone or of having wi-fi in every area of our homes because we have become accustomed to the massive convenience they offer. But there is unequivocal evidence of harm signalling that we must proceed to use them with caution.
So serious are the potential effects that it could trigger a massive increase in infertility with a resulting massive population drop in only 2 -3 generations or sooner!
What are the dangers then?
The safety standards currently in effect are all based on what is known as the Thermal Effect. This means the degree to which cells are heated up by the action of the pulsed microwaves emitted in every direction from your cell-phone or wi-fi router (or other EMF emitting device) and subsequently passing through your body. However, this is not the main point of concern. Even though every cell phone manufacturer implicitly acknowledges the danger of the thermal effect by telling us in the small print not to hold the phone in contact with the body but some distance away, it is the non-thermal effects that are the serious issue.
Dr Martin Pall from California, USA, has down some groundbreaking research and gathered all the evidence together. There are dozens of studies that conclusively prove the non-thermal effects of EMF’s on Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels (VGCC’s). I recommend listening to the Youtube presentation by Dr Pall below but in a nutshell, this is the essence of the problem.
In a nutshell
There are channels in the cell walls (plasma membrane) where various substances pass through into the cell. Various substances pass in and out of our body cells all the time. Calcium enters the cell through Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels (VGCC’s). EMF’s cause these VGCC’s to open and subsequently let more Calcium in than they should. The subsequent influx of Calcium is far higher than the cell requires and its presence causes a cascade of events. Nitric Oxide is produced (a reactive nitrogen species) as well as another free radical called peroxynitrite. These two cause damage to DNA in the cell nucleus and also to the mitochondria within the cells.
It used to be thought that only ionising radiation could cause single or double strand breaks to DNA within cells, but we now know that EMF’s trigger the same result though not causing it directly.
Need to know
I urge you to look into this. If you wish to consider yourself an informed individual, if you consider yourself a thinking man or woman, in the interests of becoming more conscious you simply must know about this and therefore be able to make informed lifestyle choices about your use of EMF devices across the board.
The danger comes from Microwave ovens, wi-fi, Mobile Phones, Bluetooth, Baby monitors, Smart meters, TV sets, Playstations and gaming consoles, domestic wiring looms, overhead power cables and all manner of electrical devices.
There are meters available on the market that you can buy for only a few hundred pounds/dollars that can detect microwaves and present them as an audio signal for you to hear. One of these is The Acousticom 2 manufactured by EMFields. With this and other meters, it is possible to detect all harmful fields within your home or personal space.
This information is essential in forming your overal health plan. It is important to limit your exposure to EMF’s. Here are some of the things you can do:
- Use your phone less and text more
- Use the speaker function when ever possible
- Turn off your wi-fi at night or when you are not using it
- Aim to hardwire your home for using the internet
- Avoid using Bluetooth
- Use printers and other devices via the ethernet cable instead of wi-fi
- Get rid of your microwave oven
- Avoid using baby monitors
- Avoid using cordless phones (DECT)
- Refuse to have a Smart meter fitted in your home
- Practice the Nitric Oxide Dump exercise demonstrated in the video below
- Supplement with Magnesium – it mitigates the effects of the influx of cellular Calcium
- Sleep in an EMF free zone – isolate the ring main in your bedroom
- Don’t sleep anywhere near a fridge – even the other side of a wall!
- Consider using chicken wire or aluminium foil to make a faraday cage around your sleeping area

Visit Cory’s website EMFsol.com to get more information about his products and services in California aimed at remediating the effects of EMF’s.
These videos below present Dr Martin Pall explaining the harmful effects of EMF on the human body. The explanations are clear and concise and it is not rocket science. You can easily understand this and be informed about your usage of wi-fi and Mobile phones etc.
This video shows a workout designed by Dr Zach Bush being performed by Dr Joseph Mercola that releases Nitric Oxide from your Body’s cells mitigating the accumulation of nitric oxide from the effects of EMF’s. A must see!
I hope this helps you on the way to understanding the dangers posed by this technology. Awareness is step one. We can evolve this technology on into a safer form if we all face the facts and use our consumer power in the market. If we avoid this issue widespread infertility will result and large swathes of the population will die out.
