Biological Effects of EMFs

Before I list the many effects of EMF, a definition of EMF is first needed. The simple definition is EMF stands for Electromagnetic Fields - forces generated by the flow of electricity. With the harnessing if electrical energy and its incorporation into every aspect of out daily lives this force has become a significant threat to our lives.


Electromagnetic energy surrounds and penetrate our homes, our work environment, and every place in-between. It has been accused of causing a list of effects ranging from cancer to suicide.


From a report by the American Medical Association on EMFs, in laboratory tests of EMFs, using both whole animals and cell culture data, changes were present in the following measured parameters"

• The nervous system
• Ion movement across cell membranes
• Cellular enzymes
• Chromatid and chromosome structure
• Brain electrophysiology
• Perception
• Behavior: Social and operant
• Lymphocyte cytotoxicity
• Pineal gland melatonin suppression
• Circadian Rhythm (biological clock)
• Bone healing delays
• Testosterone concentration
• Brain Seizure induction
• Tumor cell plating efficiency
• Brain neurotransmitter concentration
• DNA production
• Oncogene promotion
• Evoked response
• Heart rate
