With regards to acute viral illnesses, I think all of us have had that specific point in time where we became excessively cold, lost sleep for several nights, or had a cold wind hit us hard at our C7/T1 area and presto we developed a cough or a cold or a fever. What happened? I am going to call it the tipping point. We had been eating non-food for several days, staying up late studying for finals all week, or not covering up our neck area in a strong, cold wind. Due to these nefarious activities, our bodies were on the brink of tipping into an acute viral illness. Then one of the above situations hit us and, since we were at this critical state, a small bump in our daily bodily ride triggered the internal transition to an acute illness.

I believe the same scenario applies to chronic illnesses like cancer/heart disease/autoimmune disease. A dysfunctional internal milieu has been percolating for an indeterminate amount of time that is not externally decipherable by the individual. Suddenly, a dramatic symptom appears, such as being terribly short of breath on a minor exertion. Now, this person is diagnosed with severe coronary artery disease. Some situations, such as the death of a relative or shoveling excessive snow in the first snowstorm of the winter, served as the tipping point for the disease to be transformed into an entity that is now apparent to the individual and their doctor.

What factor(s) had led to the tipping point? Readers of the Townsend Letter will recognize multiple possibilities: chemicals in our food/water/environment, chronic life stresses, suboptimal genetics, etc. What I want to focus on as a factor that will cause a slow, cellular degeneration is chronic exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation/EMR.

In the picture just below, ionizing radiation exists above the frequency of 10[10] waves per second but at a relatively short wavelength of about 10[-5] to 10[-12] meters. This part of the EMS is acutely dangerous to all life on earth (except for probably cockroaches & bacteria) and will immediately kill or seriously injure life upon exposure.

Non-ionizing radiation/NIR, on the other hand, is the antithesis of ionizing radiation in terms of exhibiting a longer wavelength (about 10[-5] to 10[3] meters) and a much shorter frequency (below 10[14] waves per second). Many people believe that chronic exposure to non-ionizing radiation also can have a negative effect on our bodies. In Sweden, for e.g., they moved high power lines away from schools. In Europe, trains run on electricity. Switzerland retires their train engineers at 50, or many will develop heart disease. Cross Currents by Robert Becker, MD, is a wonderful synopsis of the negative effects of non-ionizing radiation on various parts of our bodies.

One important caveat to remember: Every one of our 100 trillion cells is a battery, and electromagnetic smog is having potentially negative effects on those batteries called our cells. Our organs are composed of cells, and it is the cells that actually do the work of our organs. If the cells aren’t healthy, the organs will not be also.

Let us look at a couple quick areas where NIR has adversely affected life on earth. It appears that almost every US citizen, except for me, owns and uses a cell phone. The US Food and Drug Administration initiated a study on radio frequency radiation/RFR for a National Toxicology Program/NTP study because of the widespread public use of cell phones and the limited knowledge related to potential health effects from long-term exposure. They only, however, studied 2G and 3G wireless radiation, which operate within a range of frequencies from about 700 – 2700 megahertz, in a two-year toxicology study on rats, which was published as technical reports in November 2018.¹

The NTP study found that high exposure to radiofrequency radiation used by cell phones was associated with:

• Clear evidence of an association with tumors in the hearts of male rats.
• The tumors were malignant schwannomas
• Some evidence of an association with tumors in the brains of male rats.
• The tumors were malignant gliomas
• Some evidence of an association with tumors in the adrenal glands of male rats.
• The tumors were benign, malignant, or complex combined pheochromocytoma.

A follow-up to the study, from October 2019, found DNA damage in THREE regions of the brain, the liver, and in blood cells that were removed from rats at an earlier timepoint from the ongoing two-year toxicology study.¹ As we already know, unrepaired DNA damage can eventually lead to tumors. Most people will say that this only occurred in rats, but wireless radiation still triggered DNA damage and potentially deadly tumors in living mammalian beings.

Another potential long-term source of NIR is electric heat cables that have been installed in ceilings as a more efficient means of heating an entire room. This type of heating source can engender large EMF fields in the entire room of up to 10 milligauss, which is much higher than the 1 milligauss ceiling that most researchers say should be the maximum long-term exposure level. In this study, Nancy Wertheimer determined that the miscarriage rate among pregnant women living in such homes was significantly higher than that of pregnant women living in homes not heated in this manner.²

Truthfully, EMR is an entity that is odorless, tasteless, and invisible. If you search PubMed for negative effects of EMR, you will literally unearth hundreds of articles targeting their negative effects on multiple organ systems. It appears that unwise use of EMR in our public domain has produced environmental changes of unparalleled proportions with grave consequences for the health and well-being of all life on earth. Unfortunately, it is more than likely too late to eliminate EMR. Wise people can access multiple books and websites to learn how to mitigate their negative effects on our bodies. Here are a few websites for you to unleash your search. I also receive no financial compensation from any of them:
