As I was preparing to write my article about electromagnetic fields and the effects that it has on us in our everyday lives. I realized that everyone is exposed to emfs in their daily lives, unless they live in a very remote area and are only surrounded by nature. We are literally surrounded by electromagnetic fields from the power lines that bring electric to our homes and work places, to our vehicles, phones,
electronic toys and computers and for some people their medical equipment. We cannot escape it, unless we choose to live in a remote area.
While researching the effects of electromagnetic fields, the information that I found was backed up by many studies. One of the studies comes from the National Institute For Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). In some work places or in areas where there is the presence of power lines, electromagnetic field exposure can be 10,000 times greater than the average. Studies have determined that there are correlations between various diseases and living near high voltage power lines or working and living where such EMFs are present. In some studies where people have been exposed to average and above average exposure to electromagnetic fields the following diseases have been associated, childhood leukemia, adult leukemia, clinical depression, miscarriage, neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrohic lateral sclerosis.
As we continue to increase our use of technology there have been concerns about the effects it has on the human biofield and a persons general health. A strong biofield can help nourish and support bodily functions, as well as help individuals deal with stress. With our body rhythms being bombarded by manmade unnatural electromagnet fields, our bodies natural healing and coping mechanisms can be compromised. According to the US National Institute of Health (NIH) the biofield is an ensemble or matrix of different energies that extend outward from each persons body.
