We are literally swimming in a sea of Electro-magnetic radiation (EMR). Here we look at EMR and how you can protect yourself against any adverse effects it may have.

EMR is emitted in varying levels from all electrical devices – including electrical power lines, electricity sub stations, mobile phone towers, household appliances, TVs, computers, cordless and mobile phones. Of the latter, wireless computers are the worst offenders as are the latest photo / video / internet transmitting and receiving mobile phones.

What price are we paying for the convenience of these devices? Are there any safe levels? Given the popularity of mobile phones, and electronic games with children, what effect (if any) do they have on developing brains and bodies?

Research shows that your head becomes a radio transmitter when you are talking on a cordless or mobile phone. Studies have shown that due to their smaller and thinner scull, this effect is amplified in children. The conclusion drawn in one German study was that there are NO safe levels of mobile phone use for children.

In some countries, it is illegal to build houses close to major power lines after a German study concluded after twenty years of observing the health of those living close to major power lines, that anything closer than 3km had an adverse effect on human health. However some governments (including Australia) have a policy of renting the airspace above publicly owned buildings (including schools) to telecommunications companies for their mobile phone towers. Is this a responsible policy? Is the health of children at risk as a result? Surely such a major issue warrants at least some investigation.

We are constantly told that there is no evidence that mobile phones (or their towers) are harmful. I dont’ know about you, but there seem to be a lot more people these days developing brain tumours. This was unheard of when I was growing up; now there is not a month goes by without me hearing of someone else in the community (or one of their friends or family) being diagnosed with a brain tumour. Whether there is a link I don’t know. However I will share what I have been told by nurses who work in neurological (brain) wards and oncology (cancer) wards in major cities. They tell me that a proportion of the people suffering from brain tumours say that they have spent a lot of time on their mobile phone and that their brain tumour is right where they hold their mobile phone against their head. Or it is right over the place where they usually wear it (a front or back pocket). These stories are deemed anecdotal i.e. just someone telling their story and with no scientific evidence to back up any possible link (that’s why there is ‘no evidence EMR harmful’). I guess thats an acceptable response as long as it is not your story or that of one of your loved ones, but given the number of similar stories, this surely warrants further investigation.

There have been few long term studies done on this subject and those that have been rarely reach the mainstream media. It is also a highly emotive and contentious topic – everyone wants 5 bars of reception strength on their mobile phone and the onltyway to achieve that is with a lot of transmitting towers. So what to do about it? How do you protect yourself against this constant, invisible bombardment with radiation?

You could banish all electrical devices from your home and office and live far away from power lines and phone towers, but this not always practical. Since the introduction of wireless technology I’m not sure this is even possible any more as one telecommunication company in Australia proudly advertises that its mobile network now covers 97% of our population.

Some companies sell chips for mobile phones that are said to cancel out a good deal, if not all, the EMR. It also depends on the quality of the device.

There is also a combination called Electro made by Australian Bush Flower Essences. When I give talks, using a kinesiology demonstration with a volunteer, I show how simply holding a mobile phone in standby mode induces a stress state in the body. I then demonstrate that holding or taking Electro eliminates this stress.

In 2004, a double blind, cross-over placebo trial was conducted on Electro by scientists in Russia. These scientists had been trialling and evaluating various allopathic and natural substances for many years in an attempt to discover the most effective means of reducing levels of accumulated body radioactivity in children, all heavily contaminated as a direct result of the Chernobyl accident. The team is made up of medical specialists and other health professionals who care for the children using many modalities.

The clinical trail concluded that Electro Essence is the most effective treatment ever discovered by that medical team in reducing human radiation levels. The children who received Electro had high radiation levels and the Essence reduced the childrens radiation levels by 43% in just 2 weeks, compared with a control group which had a reduction of just 3.5%. Upon repeated psychological and psychometric examination, the children treated with Electro Essence showed a reliable decrease in the dose of accumulated body radioactivity. It was concluded that Electro Essence is a reliable and efficient anti-radiation preparation.

I spend about half an hour talking about this and many other uses for Electro when I teach the Level One Workshop for Australian Bush Flower Essences workshop, so if you would like to know more, please join me some time.

Until then, consider taking Electro every six months. It’s simply a matter of taking 7 drops under your tongue twice a day for two weeks. It is available for purchase here.
