ALL ANIMALS flee from fire. If we see a source of danger, we will avoid it. When the threat is something we can see or feel, then it requires little convincing that it is detrimental to our well-being.
But when we cannot see or feel the source of danger, and further, the potential harm takes years in the making, then people naturally are skeptical about whether it really is harmful.
Electromagnetic fields and radiations (EMF) is one such example. How can one be sure that it harms our health, and even potentially fatal?
If you want to take care of you and your children’s health, then you do not want to wait for public policies and laws to be instituted. They often take decades, and by then a lot of harm and damage have already been done.
If you would like to get definitive information that EMF poses danger to our health, in fact to all species on earth, then here are a couple of ways to get convinced.
First, two things to keep in mind
- Be cognizant that you can be outsmarted or outwitted by powerful entities or industries, especially those who profit by selling things to you. A news article or even a research study can be carefully crafted to present only selective information in order to lead the readers in a certain direction (read my post Cherry Picking and the Effects of EMR on this). By digging deeper and going beyond superficial reading, and seeking out independent sources, you can avoid being tacitly manipulated.
- The necessity on spending efforts. When the harmful effects of something has not yet become widely known, then it requires some efforts to ascertain the truth. Read my post Turning East to See the Sunrise on this.
Here are the two ways to ascertain whether EMF radiation is harmful
- If you trust the opinions of the experts, then review the Expert Opinions page where you can find a good number of unbiased scientists, medical professionals, or public health experts who have spoken on the harmful effects of EMF.
- If that is not sufficient and you want to go further and read some of the actual research studies conducted on EMF harm, then there are over 2,000 such studies available. I have listed some of them in this Research Papers page.
Once you feel you are properly informed, then it is important to take measures to protect yourself, and not wait until the government enacts laws, or the knowledge of its harm becomes widely known in the society, or your physician to get caught up on all things harmful. Remember the case of tobacco. Lung cancer from tobacco smoking was reported in 1914. The tobacco industry continued denying that it is a health hazard, and it took 81 years before smoking to be finally banned in public places in the United States. Likewise, it was 1935 that a man with asbestosis and lung cancer was reported. After many deaths, asbestos was finally banned 70 years later in 2005. Same goes for many other substances, such as DDT, phenoxyacetic acids, dioxins, glyphosate, lead in gasoline and paint, to name only a few.
