It was midnight and I could not even lay still much less sleep…again…I could not lay on any side even for 1 second!
You see my husband is a computer guy. Whenever he had any of them in our home, I would feel so utterly restless. I could not sit, stand, or lay. I needed to walk…maybe even run away! But I also had no energy or strength to do so. I guess you could call it tired but wired!
Have you ever felt this way around wifi or even electricity?
Let’s talk about toxic mold, the illness from it, and EMFs.
So What are EMFs?
EMFs are “ElectroMagnetic Fields”. Most people today are enveloped in the nonstop exposure of EMFs generated by Wi-Fi, electricity, cell phones, and much more. God-given magnetic fields are good for us, but man-made ones we have a hard time with!
There are three main types of EMFs.
- Radio Frequency Radiation (RF). RF is the higher frequency radiation created by cell phones, wi-fi, bluetooth, cordless phones, smart meters, radar, and many other technologies.
- Magnetic Fields. Magnetic fields are caused by net current flowing. Wiring errors in homes can produce elevated magnetic fields. Electrical current flowing in places it shouldn’t be, like pipes and cable lines, are also common sources of magnetic fields in homes. AC to DC transformers create dirty magnetic fields. Metal in bed frames and furniture can be magnetized and cause a disturbance of the earth’s natural magnetic field.
- Electric Fields. Electric fields are caused by building wiring being energized. Electric fields generate unwanted voltage on the body.
Most electronics emit some level of EMFs. The most common sources of EMFs in your home are:
- Electrical panels (like your breaker box)
- Cell phones
- Bluetooth and other non-wired headphones
- Cordless phones
- WiFi Routers
- Computers
- Refrigerators / Freezers
- Microwaves
- Smart TVs
- Fitness trackers
- Electric blankets
- Hair dryers
The most common sources of EMFs outside of your home are:
- Power Lines
- Cell phone towers
- X-rays
- Airplanes
- Ultraviolet waves
Connection of EMF to Mold and our health?
There are over 2,000 scientific studies that outline the effects of EMFs from all sources on human health. They found that low-level radiation (like that emitted by your cell phone) can contribute to a wide variety of health issues and disease states ranging from minor to life threatening.
The World Health Organization has declared EMF Radiation as a Class 2B, a possible human carcinogen. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine, American Academy of Pediatrics, and American Society of Reproductive Medicine have all issued warnings due to the health hazards associated with EMF Radiation.
The well-known medical practitioner, Dr. Klinghardt, discovered a connection between EMFs and mold. During his research, he found that EMFs could be responsible for driving certain molds to produce high levels of mycotoxins. In other words, electromagnetic fields could be making molds more aggressive and reactive. Dr. Klinghardt showed that 1 inch of black mold on a wall produces 20-40 mycotoxins in 24 hours, but when exposed to EMF like Wi-Fi, it produces 2000 in the same amount of time. It has also been discovered that not only that the mold suddenly put out significantly more mycotoxins to protect themselves but also much more virulent, more viscous, more poisonous mycotoxins. I guess we are not the only life forms highly sensitive to EMF!
Dr. Klinghardt is not the only one reveiling the dangers of EMF on mold.
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine released their findings of high levels of EMF-induced fungi growth. They performed a variety of in vivo tests using three genetically diverse fungi and four measures of cell growth. The studies consistently showed that ionizing radiation significantly enhances the growth of fungi that contain melanin.
For example, they used two types of fungi, one that was induced to make melanin, and another that naturally contains it, were exposed to levels of non-ionizing radiation approximately 500 times higher than background levels. Both species grew significantly faster, as measured by the number of colony forming units and dry weight than when exposed to standard background radiation.
Dr. Thomas Rau, medical director of the Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland, also says that toxic mold in homes grows much faster under a load of high electromagnetic loads. They grow much faster in disturbing surroundings, as well as, heavy metals can also exacerbate the growth. Not only do the artificially produced electromagnetic waves cause toxic mold to grow faster, they also suppress the production of beneficial microbes, like your friendly gut bugs. We have to implant good bacteria in this scenario!
This research suggests that molds are highly sensitive to electromagnetic fields. In the last 20 years, if you measured the density of electromagnetic fields that we are exposed to, the change is significant. If you measure the amount of cell phone radiation in the air, it is now several million times higher than it was just 10 years ago. Even our WIFI exposure with the new upcoming 5G and 6G, compatible has drastically increased. All this may factor into how the mold may grow at a quicker rate, so it is imperative to do everything you can to prevent mold, properly remove mold you do find, and prevent leaks.
You Need to Protect Your Home and Body from EMFs!
There is a lot of information out there about how to protect yourself from EMFs but only now immerging information about protecting your home. After reading all of the information about EMFs and mold, you may want to make sure your home’s EMF load is significantly reduced to keep from having to deal with that exponicial growth of mold in the case of a water leak. How can you do that?
First, limit the number of electronics you have plugged in. Turning something off does not stop it from producing EMFs. So completely unplug anything you are not using regularly, and before bed unplug anything you won’t be using overnight. I have even gone to my breaker box and turned off all electricity at night. Generally, even the fridge and freezer do just fine. This includes your WiFi!
Second, get rid of your microwave. This is a big source of radiation.
Third, do not have Smart devices. The smarter your appliances, thermostat, and front door lock are, the more EMFs they emit from the WiFi they are connected to.
Fourth, purchase and install specific EMF products to protect your home environment. There are many devices out there to choose from these days. I have not used them to tell you what worked well for me, but you can do so research and find good devices to lower the EMF in your home. Don’t listen to the “just put tinfoil on this or that” but really check into the science of these devices.
Fifth, do not keep your cell phone next to your bed. If your cell phone is in your bedroom, put it on airplane mode. I turn mine off and keep it far from my bedroom.
Sixth, avoid body contact with your cell phone and laptop. Don’t put your phone in your pocket nor put your laptop on your lap.
Seventh, use an ethernet cable instead of WiFi for all laptops and computers. This can be done and is much better for the health of your house and you!
Eighth, protect your body from EMF with devices made specifically for that. There are many out there. One of my favorites is the Harmony necklace or bracelet.
I believe the wireless revolution is wreaking havoc with our immune systems. Praise God, knowledge is power when it comes to our health. Understanding the connection between microbial growth and electromagnetic radiation is a critical part of the complex puzzle of mold illness.
What does this mean when it comes to electromagnetic fields and microbial growth? It is up to us to take charge of our environment by:
1. Eliminating mold from the home
2. Reducing electromagnetic field exposure
