Remember going to the dentist back when they would put a lead apron on top of you before taking x-rays of your teeth? And then they’d hide behind a lead wall before pulling the trigger? We’ve known for quite some time that excessive radiation exposure can be harmful to our health.
And yet Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) of low intensity radiation surround us constantly. Whether you feel it or not, your body is being bombarded by radiation all day. Even as you read this article on your phone, tablet or computer, you’re surrounded. Each device gives off a different amount of radiation.
From large sources like power lines and cell towers to smaller sized sources like microwaves, cell phones, tablets or air pods, each one affect the cells in your body. Size and distance matters. Proximity plays a role in exposure strength.
A cell tower will affect you differently compared to the cell phone you carry on you at all times. But your cellular device might be the most dangerous object putting you at risk constantly since it’s often near your head.
EMFs harm your cells in five critical ways:
- Interfering with antioxidant protection, making your cells more vulnerable.
- Increasing oxidative stress and damage, which stop cells from working correctly.
- Reducing cellular self-repair abilities, so damaged cells can’t fix themselves.
- Damaging the mitochondria that supply energy to your cells, so your cells can’t function at optimal levels.
- Breaking DNA strands, so cells can’t replicate properly, a key cause of cancer.
Constant exposure to EMFs can do damage to the cells in your body. There are many conditions that can linked to increased EMF exposure including infertility and cancer. We can also make the connection between constant EMF exposure and more general symptoms such as:
- insomnia
- headaches
- difficulty focusing
- memory problems
- irritability
- depression and anxiety
- fatigue
- dizziness and nausea
- changes in brain wave activity
You should take a closer look at the devices you’re using and try to shield your body from as much of the damaging ions to protect your cells from the cumulative effects of continued radiation exposure. There are also several things you can do with regenerative medicine to protect your body and your cells:
- Use natural antioxidants such as Boswellia, Green Tea, Blueberries Alpha Lipoic Acid and N-Acetyl Cysteine.
- Support your Mitochonria with agents such as Holy Basil, Ashwagangha and Acetyl-L-Carnatine.
- Protect your Immune system with botanicals such as Astragalus Root and Cat’s Claw.
- Detox Regularly. Our infrared Sauna is a great way to pull deeply rooted toxins from your system.
- Protect Your Gut: Your immune system begins in your gut. Taking proactive steps before exposure to radiation can help prevent damage. This proactive step might be the most important one to your overall health – including cellular health – because your GI system is responsible for delivering all of the nutrients you need to live.
While you can’t escape the constant exposure of EMFs, you can take steps to protect yourself and your family. The total impact of exposure is not fully known or understood, but recent research points towards our electronic devices being a prominent culprit behind new symptoms.
Consider how much screen time your children have. Even toddlers who are pacified with TVs, tablets and phones. Or children in the womb that are exposed to this radiation even before birth.
Their smaller size and underdeveloped bodies makes them especially vulnerable to exposure. We strongly encourage you to take any steps possible to reduce EMF exposure and take proactive protective steps with regenerative medicine to repair the damage.
If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms that are linked to EMF exposure, we encourage you to connect with our team. Functional medicine facilitates a conversation about events and exposures in your life that have catapulted you to where you are in your health now.
We walk beside our patients through an array of conditions from hormone imbalance to migraines to cancer. These days one has to consider EMF exposure to be a main contributor to many of these. Let us help you find answers and get your life back.
