How does EMF Radiation Harm Us? (Radiation Meters)

Some scientists previously believed that the only way that EM radiation could produce damaging effects was if the radiation was sufficiently intense to cause a heating effect on the tissues. (It has been reported that talking on a cell phone for half an hour can raise the temperature of the brain on the affected side).

This theory has now been roundly discredited by many studies in which biological effects have been observed at intensities far too small to cause any measurable heating effect.

The mechanisms by which electromagnetic radiation may affect disease processes are not yet fully understood, but promising candidates include

DNA Damage. Our cells have mechanisms to repair DNA damage to a limited extent, but it appears that EMFs can overwhelm these mechanisms. Damaged DNA is implicated in several disease processes, including various types of cancer.

Interference with Melatonin production. Electromagnetic radiation appears to interfere with the production of melatonin, a hormone that is normally produced in the body. Low melatonin levels have already been linked to several diseases, including cancers. (Recent research indicates that seratonin production can also be affected by EMFs).

Interference with Cellular Communication. Our body cells communicate internally and externally by means of electrical signals. These signals can be altered by EMF radiation (which generates electrical currents within the body) causing changes in both cellular activity and cellular structures.
