We are harming our animals
Whilst people tend to focus on our own and our children's exposure to EMFs we shouldn't forget the harm that our EMFs are doing to our furry friends. Our pet dogs, house cats and other pets typically spend more time at home than the rest of the family. Many horses graze in fields near high power electricity lines. Farmers accept payments for allowing masts on their land believing what they are told regarding safety.
It is impossible to argue the validity of research carried out on animals to test pharmaceutical products as a model for people without concurrently recognising that evidence for EMF damage in people must be equally representative of the harm being caused to our domestic animals and wild animals in the environment. Most vets are blissfully unaware of the potential harms of EMFs, or ignore the possibility because they don't have an answer.
Most people go out of their home to work and/or for recreation for significant portions of the day. Dogs go out for a walk once or twice a day, and into the garden to answer the call of nature, but then spend the rest of the time in the home. Even cats that have access to the outside via a cat flap cannot necessarily escape EMFs unless they live in the countryside. In cities where individual houses and flats. each with their own WiFi for security, are very much closer together, their combined fields form a dense overlapping electrosmog. The accumulation of EMFs from internal and external WiFi and emissions from mobile phone masts that may be situated on top of the nearest tall buildings means there is no escape 24/7/365. The advent of 5G (and 6G in future) where masts will require placement every 20-50m, and the Internet of Things where multiple relays will all interlink in the home, is an escalation in the proximity to EMF sources to our living space that brings higher power levels than ever before that have no been adequately safety tested in isolation, let alone the accumulation of multiple frequencies and power levels. Just because we can't see it doesn't mean it isn't already starting the chain of adverse reactions.
Smart meters and/or WiFi routers may be placed close to where our pets sleep, which means they're getting a stronger exposure than we experience even when we're at home. Electrical good are often concentrated in areas where pets spend much of their time – in the kitchen or living room – all of which emit EMFs by virtue of being electrically powered. With increasing smart technology that links our mobile phone to the lighting, heating and cooker etc, the burden on our pets at home is rising fast both from the need for previously unpowered goods to be powered, plus the wireless communication to monitor and control their function. Electrical curtains/blinds that allow us to give the impression of being at home even when we aren’t are a good example of this.
Birds are more seriously affected
There is considerable evidence that animals of all types are adversely impacted by EMFs. A study looking at wildlife found that birds that nested in camouflaged masts or within 200m had zero fertility and disrupted behaviour which could help explain not only the drop in wild bird populations but also the increase in infertility we are witnessing generally. Increased bad behaviour between birds was also noted. Whilst many pets have hormone disruption already from being routinely neutered, an EMF influence on behaviour is certainly possible.
Birds are more susceptible to EMFs than mammals due to a piezoelectric effect that travels down the feather shaft into the body which amplifies the adverse effects. This gives us an insight into how we may be affected over a longer period of time with continual exposure. EMFs all have the ability to cause damage based on their power, wavelength and exposure time. If an external EMF frequency coincides with the resonant frequency of a structure or process within the body then it takes considerably less power to cause an adverse influence.
Ionising EMFs such as gamma and X-rays are well known to be able to cause considerable damage based on relatively few exposures for very short periods of time. Medical use doesn't make them safe!
Microwaves are used to cook food. When they first arrived in homes, people were advised not to stand too close to early microwave ovens in case of microwave leakage. The degree of cooking and the speed with which it occurs is determined both by the power of the oven and the cooking time. Lower power for continuously longer time will still cook! Cooking occurs because fat and water molecules are super-heated to temperatures higher than would otherwise be experienced in conventional cooking techniques. This excess heat energy spreads out and cooks the adjacent protein and carbohydrate elements of the food. Food with a high fat/water content needs time for this heat to dissipate before eating or people will experience a nasty and severe burn in their mouth. Jump forward from the warnings of the 1980s to now and we are looking at using microwaves freely in the environment with continuous exposure for telecommunications. How this cannot affect our organs with high fat/water content (brain, eyes, testes, skin) has yet to be adequately explained. It is interesting to note that microwave devices for crowd control have already been developed with videos available to view on YouTube. Based on the power/exposure time requirement for effect it is simply a matter of time before continuous microwaves cause damage to the health of our pets and other animals too.
Extremely low power can still cause harm
Damage occurs from exposure to lower frequencies and power that are considered to be non-thermal too. In 1994 Bundyuk found that there were disturbances in the immune system of mice at a power level of 0.00000001μW/cm2. According to Kositsky, a power level of 0.00001μW/cm2 initiates a conditioned avoidance reaction in rats. As early as 1973, Dumanskij discovered that EMFs altered brain function as registered by EEG, disturbed carbohydrate metabolism, enlarged adrenals, altered adrenal hormone levels and brought about structural changes in the liver, spleen, testes, and brain in white rats and rabbits at a power level of 0.06μW/cm2. Salford found that the blood brain barrier loses integrity at 2.5μW/cm2 and in the same year (1997) Magras found irreversible sterility in mice was induced by power levels of 0.168μW/cm2. The most recent of these studies quoted is 2001, yet no attention has been paid to them or the warnings of many highly qualified scientists in numerous petitions and appeals.
Whilst these are results from experiments on smaller laboratory animals, larger mammals including dairy cows have also been adversely affected. Adverse effects on fertility, milk production and hormones have all been detected. In 2002, San Francisco rejected installing city wide WiFi based on a report which included references to these and other papers including one where adverse effects were seen in blood cells from cows from a farm close and in front of radar which showed a significantly higher level of severe genetic damage. It is not unreasonable therefore to consider that all animals ranging in size from mice to cows are thus adversely impacted by EMFs at levels that are officially considered to be safe.
Given that Hart found that dogs are sensitive to small changes in the Earth's magnetic field it makes sense that they will also be affected by electrical fields which always have an associated magnetic field.
If we consider that the ICNIRP permitted power level that is considered safe according to current international standards is 900μW/cm2 and the allowed safety level in Russia is only 10μW/cm2 then it becomes apparent that the current safety levels employed throughout the vast majority of countries are wholly inadequate. 5G was halted in Brussels and Rome because installation of masts required higher than permitted levels of power and the masts need to be situated very much closer to the population. To allow such placement of masts with power levels above safety levels that have already been called into question is nothing short of madness according to Prof Martin Pall. It sounds like a conspiracy theory but the figures don't lie and they are being systematically ignored by the vast majority of authorities, and people too if the truth be told.
There are much wider-ranging implications if we consider the disruption that EMFs have on our insect life. Dr Andrew Goldsworthy, a recognised expert in the biological effects of EMFs has spoken out about how EMFs can disrupt the cryptochrome and thus the activity of bees which are essential for pollination of our food crops. Another study looking at the action of a WiFi router on the activity of ants foraging for food found significant changes in their angular and linear velocity and thus their ability to function normally, with some individuals being completely debilitated. Dr Cammaerts who conducted the study also found that using a Compensating Magnetic Oscillator by Comosystems returned the ants' behaviour to normal.
The pathways above show how EMFs create chronic inflammation via a number of pathways. Chronic inflammation is the root of nearly all chronic diseases, including cancers. Cancer in dogs is now approaching 1 in 4. It's mostly down to kibble but we shouldn't under-estimate the role that EMFs play too.
Scientists including Dr Goldsworthy and Prof Martin Pall of Washington State University who established the adverse EMFs flowchart above have identified a number of biological effects that result from EMF exposure. These include DNA damage, changes in calcium ion binding that lead to chronic inflammation and disruption of hormones. These can have significant impact on the health of our animals.
Chronic diseases are on the rise at ever younger ages. The stress of modern day living cannot be the cause in pets that we often blame it on in people, because most pets want for very little, and don't demand very much other than food, shelter and love. The rise in diseases places the suspicion on environmental factors, of which the rapid rise in EMFs must be considered to be significant.
The smaller size of pets relative to people means that EMFs penetrate proportionally further into their body. As with children, their rapid growth when young, where cells are dividing fast, is especially important because disruption to DNA at this stage can lead to chronic problems later in life which may not be reversible. The problem of course is that Veterinarians aren't taught to recognise or consider the possibility that chronic exposure to EMFs may be a significant factor in aging and chronic inflammatory disease such as heart disease, cataracts, skin issues and arthritis etc
Harmony XL CMO
Harmony CMO
The good news is that the Compensating Magnetic Oscillators (CMO) by Comosystems have been found to mitigate for the adverse effects of EMFs in the home. Simply by strategically placing a Harmony or Harmony XL in your home prevents the EMFs initiating their biophysical effects that lead to DNA damage and Calcium ion disruption that triggers the inflammatory cascade. The Harmony XL protects everything within an 8m radius bubble around itself, whilst the Harmony protection bubble radius is 5.5m. All humans and pets within the range of a Harmony device are thus protected. No other company operating in this field has as much research, all of it positive, as the CMO technology.
Biological frequency effects is an area of special interest of Roger's. He has a unique perspective given that he is coming at this subject from an understanding of what frequency can do to harm or to heal. Those who wish to learn more much can listen to Roger's audiobook The EMF Bible that is available via his personal website here
