Causes of Electrical Sensitivity
Electromagnetic Fields
“The density of radio waves around us is now 100 million to 200 million times the natural level reaching us from the sun. Nor is there any end in sight.”—Dr. Robert Becker, The Body Electric
Exposure to unnatural, man-made electromagnetic fields has reached unprecedented proportions and is getting worse every day. Although the man-made electrical and electronic technologies have a great number of benefits, we humans are also paying a high price in terms of poorer health, and for some people, this increased exposure to electromagnetic fields is not only extremely debilitating, it is life-threatening.
Why should electromagnetic fields pose such a serious hazard to our health? Let us use Albert Einstien’s famous equation as a starting point:
E represents energy
M represents mass
C represents a constant, namely the speed of light
This means that mass, or matter, is condensed energy. What appears to be solid is really composed of minute, specialized subatomic particles or energy packets. What are electromagnetic fields? A form of energy. Therefore, everything is made of energy. From a universal or metaphysical perspective, everything is part of one massive sea of energy: everything and everyone is really connected to and affects everything and everyone else. From this perspective, it is easy to understand how electromagnetic fields can have an affect on our health.
The sun is the best example of this: it is so hot that it keeps the Earth warm and can burn your skin. However, the electromagnetic fields emanating from cellular phones, microwave ovens, fluorescent lights and computers is more significant than you may realize: they can create a great amount of stress on the body. Strong man-made electromagnetic fields can actually burn out the nervous system.
Everyone is affected to some degree by exposure to man-made sources of electromagnetic fields, although most people do not get extremely ill from such exposure. A whole new industry has been created to mitigate the harmful effects of man-made electromagnetic fields. Although the European medical community is more likely to acknowledge the adverse effects of electromagnetic fields, the North American medical community will inevitably do so as well.
There are entire websites and books dedicated to this subject. I don’t need to elaborate here.
