										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are my top low-EMF tips for traveling:</p>
<p><strong>Before You Go:</strong> download your content (podcasts, audiobooks, movies, TV shows, etc.) on your phone or iPad before your trip. While traveling, place your phone in airplane mode and turn off WiFi and Bluetooth. This allows you to enjoy your content without wireless emissions.</p>
<p>If you are traveling with friends or family, ask them to do the same so that you also eliminate emissions from their devices if they are sitting next to you. This is <strong>essential</strong> for children, who are more susceptible to wireless radiation than adults.</p>
<p>Use wired headphones instead of wireless or Bluetooth enabled headphones. This is my favorite <a href="https://techwellness.com/collections/body/products/anti-radiation-emf-protection-headphone-headset?aff=32">airtube headset</a>. You can buy it without an adapter or with a Lightning or a USB-C adapter, depending on what port your phone, iPad or laptop has. I usually carry extra Lightning or USB-C adapters to ensure that I can use my headset interchangeably with all of my devices.</p>
<p><strong>Booking A Hotel:</strong> use Google Maps or Google Earth to determine if there are any cell towers or power lines next to the hotel. If there&#8217;s a cell tower on one side of the hotel, ask for room on the other side of the hotel. Request a room on a lower floor, away from an electrical closet, mechanical room or the elevator. A room on a lower floor will often have lower cell tower emissions than a room on a higher floor. Request a room at the end of a wing rather than in the middle of the wing and not a room over the lobby or conference center to reduce emissions from nearby WiFi routers. Ask the front desk if it&#8217;s possible to turn off the WiFi router in the room for the duration of your stay. In the room, unplug all lamps/alarm clocks/other devices around the bed to reduce AC electric fields on the bed.</p>
<p><strong>Staying in an Airbnb:</strong> use Google Earth or Google maps to check for cell towers or power lines before making a reservation. Choose a bedroom furthest from overhead power lines if they are present. Just because power lines are there doesn&#8217;t mean that the emissions are high, it&#8217;s simply a precaution. I often want to unplug the WiFi router or any WiFi extenders when staying in an Airbnb but I also don&#8217;t want to interfere with a network belongs to the homeowner. I often travel with a <a href="https://lessemf.com/product/signal-tamer/">Signal Tamer</a> and use it to reduce WiFi emissions when I can&#8217;t turn off the router. Select size XL, Extra Shielding for best effectiveness.</p>
<p>If you are staying in one place for an extended period of time, consider a <a href="https://safelivingtechnologies.com/products/swiss-shield-naturell-travel-bed-canopy.html?aff=55">travel bed canopy</a> to significantly reduce wireless emissions if they are present. While traveling, don&#8217;t use the ring that comes with it, just drape the canopy over the bed and tuck or pin in behind the headboard.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a <strong>low-EMF packing list</strong> for you: Bring your own <a href="https://safelivingtechnologies.com/products/safe-and-sound-classic-iii.html?aff=55">wireless meter</a> to know your exposure, a <a href="https://safelivingtechnologies.com/products/swiss-shield-naturell-travel-bed-canopy.html?aff=55">travel bed canopy</a> and a <a href="https://lessemf.com/product/signal-tamer/">Signal Tamer</a>. You can enter code SAGELIVING5 for a discount from Safe Living Technologies.</p>
<p>And finally, <strong>earthing</strong> will help eliminate the EMF that our bodies accumulate when we travel. Go for a walk barefoot on the grass, on a trail, or at the beach. Swimming in the ocean or in a river is also a great option. Happy travels!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Clients often ask me, &#8220;What&#8217;s the first thing I can do to lower my EMF exposure?&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a great question.</p>
<p>Almost everyone I know uses a cell phone, myself included. What most people don&#8217;t realize unless they have a good <a href="https://safelivingtechnologies.com/products/safe-and-sound-pro-ii-rf-meter.html?aff=55">RF meter</a>, is how high the emissions from a cell phone are.</p>
<p>A client&#8217;s cell phone is one of the first things we measure during an EMF inspection and it&#8217;s often the highest source of wireless radiation in a home.</p>
<p>Most people don&#8217;t realize this since EMF radiation is silent, odorless and invisible &#8211; unless you have a meter and know how to use it.</p>
<p>So what do we do?</p>
<p>Avoid holding the phone to your head during a call. Text, or use speakerphone or use my favorite accessory, an <a href="https://techwellness.com/collections/body/products/anti-radiation-emf-protection-headphone-headset?aff=32">airtube headset</a> for making calls.</p>
<p>Another pro tip? Keep your phone out of your pocket. Ideally, keep it at least 10 feet away from your body when it is on. Distance is your friend when it comes to EMF exposure.</p>
<p>A landline (with a corded, not cordless phone) is always the best choice for phone calls from an EMF perspective, but landlines are rare these days.</p>
<p>These tips will go a long way to reduce your daily exposure to wireless radiation, especially if you spend a lot of time on the phone.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I went on my first river rafting trip when I was 11 and I’m 44 now.  My husband and I were excited to join another family and raft the Main Salmon River in Idaho with our two children ages 10 and 13 this summer. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I can confirm that the best parts of a river trip haven’t changed: the scenery, the excitement of being on the river, the camaraderie between the guides and the guests and, of course, the camp cooking. You watch your kids jump off rocks, go kayaking for the first time or take a turn rowing an oar boat. You spot river otters swimming and bears walking alongside the river. You spend hours at night staring at the night sky, seeing the Milky Way and millions of stars. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You spend time talking to one another and your guides, telling stories about the river, things they’ve seen and people they’ve met.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With all that said, you know what the best part of the trip was?  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was the opportunity to fully disconnect from our phones.There is no cell service or WiFi on the Main Salmon River. None. It’s a beautiful thing. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We know that technology can be helpful and entertaining in our daily lives, but the opportunity to disconnect is as valuable or more these days.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For most of us, finding a space without technology is rare. WIFI is everywhere, even on the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro now. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why we loved being screen-free on the river:</span></p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s no option to use a cell phone since there’s no service. The impulse to check in with family, friends or work fades after a day or two. You focus on the present and engage those around you.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The average adult spends 5-6 hours on a cell phone each day. You get this time back when you are on the river without a cell phone. Conversations linger and meaningful connections are made. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We feel present with each other and our children, not distracted by our phones and pulled in multiple directions.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We appreciate the sunshine, fresh air and exercise. Mind and body are connected, the mind is not distracted and the body is active while on the river.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s more head space for thinking, brainstorming and creative ideas flow more easily.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bonus for parents! The kids don’t ask for screen time when it’s not even an option.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our kids spent their time making new friends, exploring, swimming, setting up their camp each night and jumping off the rafts with the guides into the river.  I loved seeing my kids not worrying about what was happening on their devices, but instead creating, playing and interacting with everyone at camp.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was an amazing few days and we are grateful that wild places still exist to explore.  As Starlink and other satellite companies start to provide internet service in remote places, we hope that there will always be opportunities for a less-is-more approach to technology for our family.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are going to try to take this feeling back with us and try not to be distracted by our phone and technology at home. But, as life gets busy, and we are starting to stare at our devices instead of interacting with one another, we know what to do to bring us back! </span></p><p>The post <a href="http://sageliving.us/6-reasons-why-we-love-being-screen-free-on-the-river/">6 Reasons Why We Love Being Screen-Free on the River</a> first appeared on <a href="http://sageliving.us">Sage Living</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>But what about for our pets?</p>
<p>An often overlooked part of an EMF inspection is how to protect your pet from electromagnetic fields (EMF).</p>
<p>It is well established that humans suffer adverse health effects from man-made EMF.</p>
<p>Did you know that animals are affected by EMF too?</p>
<p>A 1995 <a href="https://academic.oup.com/aje/article-abstract/141/4/352/212535?redirectedFrom=fulltext">study</a> published in the American Journal of Epidemiology demonstrated that residential exposure to AC magnetic fields led to an 80% increased risk of canine lymphoma in pet dogs.</p>
<p>So how do we protect our pets from EMF?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll share with you some of the best practices that I use with my clients. These are quick and easy solutions that cost nothing and can be implemented by any pet owner. Let&#8217;s jump right in.</p>
<p>Q. Does your dog sleep at your feet while you work in your home office?</p>
<p>A. Unplug or move cords and charging cables away from your feet (and your dog) to lower the AC electric fields emitted by equipment with ungrounded, two-prong plugs. AC electric fields are present even when a device is OFF while plugged in. This applies to common office equipment like printers, table lamps and phone chargers. You can also zip-tie the cords together and move them away from your desk to lower your exposure.</p>
<p>Q. Do you use WiFi at home?</p>
<p>A. Move your WiFi router to an area away from where people (and pets) spend long periods of time, like a closet or in a garage. A better option is to turn your WiFi off at night when you are not using it anyway. I find that a WiFi router is often one of the largest sources of radio frequency (RF) radiation in a home. You can dramatically lower your RF exposure by turning it off at night or consider turning it on only when you need it. I like this <a href="https://amzn.to/4cFOymK">timer</a> or this <a href="https://amzn.to/4cKVeQK">switch</a> to power off the outlet at night. Either one is a great option to reduce exposure.</p>
<p>Q. Where is the best place for my pet to sleep?</p>
<p>A. Most cats and dogs sleep for at least 12 hours a day so where your pet sleeps is an important consideration. Place your pet&#8217;s bed at least 4 feet away from a main electrical panel or a sub panel to reduce exposure to AC magnetic fields. Any appliance (while running) creates an AC magnetic field so keep any portable fans, air purifiers or air-conditioning units at least 4 feet away from sleeping areas. Also, electrical outlets (if improperly wired) can be a source of AC magnetic fields.</p>
<p>Last week in a client&#8217;s home, we were able to lower the AC magnetic field reading on a dog&#8217;s bed from 1.4 to .11 milligauss (mG) simply by moving the pet bed to the other side of the room further away from the sub panel in the hallway on the other side of the wall. That&#8217;s 10 times lower! Distance matters when it comes to mitigating EMF. Most EMF will travel through walls so be aware of what is on the other side of a wall, especially in a bedroom.</p>
<p>There are inexpensive, consumer friendly meters available (see &#8220;What is the Best EMF Meter to Buy&#8221; <a href="https://sageliving.us/what-is-the-best-emf-meter-to-buy/">here</a>) if you are interested in measuring your home.</p>
<p>A note on EMF shielding charms, pendants and harmonizers: as a general rule, I do not endorse charms, pendants and harmonizers for people or pets since the EMF reduction that they claim to offer is not measurable with my professional grade EMF meters. My preferred EMF solutions include source removal, distancing and selecting non-wireless options for technology.</p>
<p>For a whole house inspection or to take a deeper dive into your EMF questions, it is always best to contact a certified Building Biologist for assistance.</p>
<p>How do you lower EMF for your pet?</p>

Common sources of RF are cell towers, WiFi, cell phones, Smart meters, and your neighbor&#8217;s WiFi network.</p>
<p>He purchased a <a href="https://amzn.to/4cM0XFV">Trifield TF2 meter</a> a few months ago. He was curious about how it compared to the professional grade meters that I use for inspections. One of the RF meters that I use is the <a href="https://safelivingtechnologies.com/products/safe-and-sound-pro-ii-rf-meter.html?aff=55">Safe and Sound Pro II RF meter.</a></p>
<p>There are two sources of EMF that I consider a &#8220;no-go&#8221; when house hunting: strong RF from nearby cell towers and AC magnetic fields from power lines.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s dive in and compare the Trifield TF2 meter and the Safe and Sound Pro II RF meter.</p>
<p>What is the Best EMF Meter to Buy?</p>
<p>Trifield TF2:</p>
<p>Pros:</p>
<p>It&#8217;s relatively inexpensive at $170.</p>

<p>It measures three types of man-made EMF (AC magnetic fields, AC electric fields and RF).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a reliable 3 axis meter for AC magnetic fields, sensitive to 0.1 mG.</p>
<p>Cons:</p>
<p>It measures only 1 axis for AC electric fields. It is sensitive to 1 V/m. It is not sensitive enough for Building Biology guidelines, which recommend less than 0.3 V/m in sleeping areas.</p>
<p>It measures only 1 axis for RF, and only up to 6 GHz. This meter will not capture 5G in the millimeter wave high bands if you have 5G in your community.</p>
<p>The meter is not individually calibrated. It does not include a calibration certificate with purchase.</p>
<p>The TF2 only measures up to 20,000 microwaves per square meter.</p>
<p>Conclusion:</p>
<p>I recommend the TF2 to measure AC magnetic field exposure from power lines.</p>
<p>I recommend the <a href="https://safelivingtechnologies.com/products/safe-and-sound-pro-ii-rf-meter.html?aff=55">Safe and Sound Pro II RF meter</a> to measure radio frequency radiation (RF). It measures up to 8 GHz and up to 2.5 million microwatts per square meter.</p>
<p>I do not recommend the TF2 for measuring RF because it is a single axis meter AND does not measure above 20,000 microwatts per square meter. It is not unusual for me to measure 500,000 microwatts per square meter during inspections. It is essential to have an accurate numerical value for your RF exposure, especially if you are considering shielding your space. For example a Swiss Shield Natural bed canopy is 99% effective up to 10 GHz. This means that if your &#8220;before&#8221; reading is 20,000 microwatts per square meter, the best &#8220;after&#8221; reading with a bed canopy will be 200 microwatts per square meter. This is a significant improvement, but not nearly low enough in a sleeping area. If your &#8220;before&#8221; reading is 500,000 microwatts per square meter, the best &#8220;after&#8221; reading will be 5,000 microwatts per meter, far higher than the 10 microwatts per square meter recommended by Building Biology for sleeping areas. You need to know exactly what the RF field strength is before moving into a new home.</p>
<p>It is always best to have a certified Building Biologist perform an inspection before you rent or buy a home, but this is a great starting point if you are curious about your EMF exposure and would like to buy a meter.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In one of my earlier <strong><a title="Google Glass in the doctor's office?" href="/google-glass-in-the-doctors-office/">posts,</a></strong> I wrote about what it was like to experience my doctor wearing a wireless enabled headset for the first time during an office visit.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This experience sparked a conversation that inspired Lennart Hardell and Cindy Sage (two of the world&#8217;s leading EMF experts) to publish a paper in the Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine Journal discussing the risks of wireless enabled headsets on human health in a medical setting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Read the abstract <a title="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15368378.2017.1422261" href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15368378.2017.1422261" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>:</p>
<p><em>Wireless-enabled headsets that connect to the internet can provide remote transcribing of patient examination notes. Audio and video can be captured and transmitted by wireless signals sent from the computer screen in the frame of the glasses. But using wireless glass-type devices can expose the user to a specific absorption rates (SAR) of 1.11–1.46 W/kg of radiofrequency radiation. That RF intensity is as high as or higher than RF emissions of some cell phones. Prolonged use of cell phones used ipsilaterally at the head has been associated with statistically significant increased risk of glioma and acoustic neuroma. Using wireless glasses for extended periods to teach, to perform surgery, or conduct patient exams will expose the medical professional to similar RF exposures which may impair brain performance, cognition and judgment, concentration and attention and increase the risk for brain tumors. The quality of medical care may be compromised by extended use of wireless-embedded devices in health care settings. Both medical professionals and their patients should know the risks of such devices and have a choice about allowing their use during patient exams. Transmission of sensitive patient data over wireless networks may increase the risk of hacking and security breaches leading to losses of private patient medical and financial data that are strictly protected under HIPPA health information privacy laws.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the takeaway?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Exercise your right to opt out when a physician or medical professional asks for your consent to wear a wireless enabled headset during an office visit, exam or other medical procedure. Ask them to turn off the headset for the duration of your visit to avoid unwanted exposure to wireless emissions. Parents, this is especially important when your child is seen by a pediatrician or other doctor, since children are more susceptible to the effects of wireless exposure than adults.</p><p>The post <a href="http://sageliving.us/are-wireless-headsets-a-risk-in-treating-patients/">Are Wireless Headsets A Risk in Treating Patients?</a> first appeared on <a href="http://sageliving.us">Sage Living</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most common questions I hear is &#8220;How do I measure EMF from power lines?&#8221;.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good question. It&#8217;s also timely if you are looking to rent or buy a new home.</p>
<p>There are two external (i.e. potentially beyond your control) sources of EMF to be aware of when house-hunting: cell towers or power lines in close proximity to the home.</p>
<p>Today let&#8217;s talk about power lines.</p>
<p>Your best option is to hire a Building Biologist to perform a risk assessment and an analysis of the property. Find an expert in your area <strong><a href="https://buildingbiologyinstitute.org/find-an-expert/certified-consultants/electromagnetic-radiation-specialists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://buildingbiologyinstitute.org/find-an-expert/certified-consultants/electromagnetic-radiation-specialists/">here</a>.</strong></p>
<p>However, I meet many people (particularly here in the San Francisco Bay Area) who view dozens of homes before finding the right one.</p>
<p>In this case, you can buy a consumer-grade EMF meter that will provide an indication of whether or not there are high levels of EMF emitted from nearby power lines.</p>
<p>I recommend the <strong><a href="https://safelivingtechnologies.com/UHS2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://safelivingtechnologies.com/UHS2/">Alpha Lab UHS2 3 Axis Gaussmeter</a></strong> (use discount code SAGELIVING5). There are cheaper meters available but they tend to be single axis (instead of 3 axis) which may not provide a complete, and therefore, accurate measurement of the field strength.</p>
<p>Tips:<br />
&#8211; measure at different times of the day if possible (measurements will vary based on electrical usage in the neighborhood).<br />
&#8211; be sure to measure around 6:00pm during peak electrical usage. The higher the usage, the higher the field strength coming from the power lines.<br />
&#8211; the goal is to be under 1 milligauss (mG) and ideally as close to 0.2 mG as possible <em>when you are outside</em> of the home (see Building Biology guidelines for AC Magnetic Fields<strong> <a href="http://https//safelivingtechnologies.com/content/Education/EMF-Exposure-Guidelines-For-Sleeping-Areas.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="http://https://safelivingtechnologies.com/content/Education/EMF-Exposure-Guidelines-For-Sleeping-Areas.pdf">here</a></strong>). This is the ambient level. There are other factors inside the home (like wiring errors, etc.) that also cause high readings, so measure outside to understand the impact from the power lines.<br />
&#8211; the readings are usually highest directly under the power lines and will diminish in a gradient as you move away from them. For example, if the power lines are in the front yard, start underneath them and capture the readings as you move toward the front door of the home. The readings should decrease as you walk away from the power lines. If you are well above 1mG at the front door, I would move on to the next home.<br />
&#8211; measure ALL power lines adjacent to the property. High voltage transmission lines (see photo) and  neighborhood distribution lines are both found in residential areas.<br />
&#8211; use Satellite view in Google Maps as a tool to look for power lines before you preview a home.</p>
<p>NOTE: this is general advice based on my experience. Every situation is unique and I highly recommend hiring a professional for a detailed inspection if you have concerns or questions <em>before</em> signing a contract.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Good luck on your home search!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you spent time and effort to create a low-EMF environment at home?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Do you wish you could take that environment with you when you travel?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I do.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These are my top tips for reducing EMF when you are staying in a hotel room.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As you know, there are 4 types of man-made EMFs that require different methods for reducing exposure:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To reduce AC electric fields:</p>
<ul>
<li>Unplug bedside lamps that have an ungrounded, 2-prong power cord.                                                                                        Photo credit: Paul Postema</li>
<li>Unplug electric clock or music player.</li>
</ul>
<p>To reduce AC magnetic fields:</p>
<ul>
<li>Unplug electric clock.</li>
<li>Request a room away from an elevator, utility closet or ice machine.</li>
</ul>
<p>To reduce radio frequency radiation (RF):</p>
<ul>
<li>Request a room away from the lobby.  There can be a lot of RF from WiFi routers and other wireless devices in the hotel office area.</li>
<li>Request a room on a lower floor (often less RF from nearby cell towers compared to a higher floor) at the end of the wing.</li>
<li>Check your room with an RF meter. Confirm that the TV is not emitting RF and that there are no WiFi routers in the room.</li>
<li>Create a temporary bed canopy with a sheet of <strong><a title="https://safelivingtechnologies.com/products/swiss-shield-naturell.html" href="https://safelivingtechnologies.com/products/swiss-shield-naturell.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naturell</a></strong> RF shielding fabric. Tuck the fabric behind the headboard of the bed and drape it over the top off the bedding so that the fabric is not directly touching your skin.</li>
<li>If you find a wireless device, cover it loosely with a small piece of Naturell fabric while you are in the room. Do not leave it unattended when you leave the room.</li>
</ul>
<p>To reduce dirty electricity:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pack one Stetzer or Greenwave filter to plug in to an outlet in the room. Choose an outlet away from the bed since these filters are a point source of AC magnetic fields. Always test the outlet with an outlet tester to verify that the outlet is wired properly before plugging in a filter. An outlet tester is included in the Dirty Electricity Test Kit recommended below.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here are the consumer-grade meters that I recommend for clients. Many of my colleagues and clients pack their meters when they travel.</p>
<p><strong><a title="https://safelivingtechnologies.com/products/safe-living-mk15-electrosmog-test-kit.html" href="https://safelivingtechnologies.com/products/safe-living-mk15-electrosmog-test-kit.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MK15 Electrosmog Test Kit</a></strong> (AC electric fields, AC magnetic fields and RF)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>What low-EMF tips do you use when you travel?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Note: these are general recommendations only. Consult with your doctor or health care practitioner first if you have any concerns.</p><p>The post <a href="http://sageliving.us/how-to-create-a-low-emf-hotel-room/">How To Create A Low-EMF Hotel Room</a> first appeared on <a href="http://sageliving.us">Sage Living</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Why We Care About EMF</h3>
<p class="p3"><span class="s1">Today, a growing group of scientists worldwide have published evidence that electromagnetic fields (EMF) result in biological harm to the human body. This might be a brand new topic for you or you might be well versed in it. Either way, our goal is to share our unique access to the scientific community to support you in making the best possible choices for how you and your family interact with your wireless technology.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Demand for wireless technology is huge. In a survey that we commissioned, </span>93% of respondents own a smartphone and 91% of respondents use WIFI regularly. And you know that, in 2015, 47% of US households had <strong><a title="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis/releases.htm" href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis/releases.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WIFI only</a>?</strong></p>
<p class="p1">We can say without hesitation that the use of wireless technology is almost universal today.</p>
<p class="p1">The research below summarizes the health effects of exposure to radio frequency radiation (RFR), a form of electromagnetic radiation. Radio frequency radiation or wireless radiation is emitted by all wireless devices including cell phones, WiFi networks and other wireless technology. The bulk of the research that has been done on the health effects of EMF discusses the risk of glioma (a malignant brain tumor) from exposure to cell phone radiation.</p>
<p class="p1">Considering our reliance on wireless technology, it is very important that we educate ourselves on wireless health effects, especially for children. Did you know that brain cancer has replaced leukemia as the leading cause of cancer deaths among children aged 1 to 19 years in 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)?</p>
<p class="p1">Thousands of studies in the last four decades have found that EMF exposure can create negative health effects in almost all of the systems of the body:</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><i>The stakes are very high. Exposure to electromagnetic fields (both extremely low-frequency ELF-EMF from power frequency sources like power lines and appliances; and radiofrequency radiation or RFR) has been linked to a variety of adverse health outcomes that may have significant public health consequences. The most serious health endpoints that have been reported to be associated with extremely low frequency (ELF) and/or radiofrequency radiation (RFR) include childhood and adult leukemia, childhood and adult brain tumors, and increased risk of the neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer’s and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In addition, there are reports of increased risk of breast cancer in both men and women, genotoxic effects (DNA damage, chromatin condensation, micronucleation, impaired repair of DNA damage in human stem cells), pathological leakage of the blood–brain barrier, altered immune function including increased allergic and inflammatory responses, miscarriage and some cardiovascular effects. Insomnia (sleep disruption) is reported in studies of people living in very low-intensity RF environments with WI-FI and cell tower-level exposures. Short-term effects on cognition, memory and learning, behavior, reaction time, attention and concentration, and altered brainwave activity (altered EEG) are also reported in the scientific literature. Biophysical mechanisms that may account for such effects can be found in various articles and reviews (Sage, 2012). (Bioinitiative Summary for the Public 2014)</i></span></p>

Partial findings of this US government study were released early due to the implications for public health since cell phone use is almost universal. Exposure to cell phone radiation (RFR) resulted in cancer in rats. After 24 months, 1 in 12 of 540 male rats exposed to cell phone radiation developed cancer or precancerous cells vs. 0 of 90 unexposed male rats. DNA damage was observed after only 28 days in male and female rats and mice.</p>

<p>Evaluation of Mobile Phone and Cordless Phone Use and Glioma Risk Using the Bradford Hill Viewpoints from 1965 on Association or Causation, Carlberg and Hardell 2017<br />
A meta-analysis of case-control studies showed a 1.90 odds ratio (a 90% increased risk) of glioma in the temporal lobe of the brain. The risk increases over time. At 20+ years of exposure , there is a 201% increased risk of glioma. Cumulative use of mobile phones and cordless phones increases risk. Using the Bradford Hill viewpoints on association, the authors conclude that RF radiation from these devices should be regarded as a human carcinogen causing glioma (malignant brain cancer).</p>

<p>Cell Phones and Health &#8211; California Department of Public Health<br />
In March 2017, after 7 years and a lawsuit, the CA Department of Public Health released a cell phone radiation fact sheet summarizing research on cell phone radiation health risks and offering safety guidelines for mobile phone use. The judge has since ruled that the CDPH must remove the words &#8220;Draft and Not for Public Release&#8221; from the document, stating it is not a &#8220;preliminary draft&#8221; as it has existed since 2010.</p>

<p>Prospective Cohort Analysis of Cellphone Use and Emotional and Behavioral Difficulties in Children. Sudan et al 2016.<br />
Findings suggest that both prenatal and postnatal exposures to cell phones may be associated with increased risks of emotional and behavioral difficulties in children. Children without emotional and behavioral difficulties at age 7 years, but who had cellphone exposures, had increased odds of emotional and behavioral difficulties at age 11 years. A 58% increased risk for children with both prenatal and age 7 cellphone exposures, a 41% increased risk for prenatal exposure only, and a 36% increased risk for for age 7 use only.</p>

Birks et al 2017.</strong></p>
<p>Highlights: Largest study to date to use prenatal cell phone use data collected prospectively. High prenatal cell phone use linked to    hyperactivity/inattention problems in child. No prenatal cell phone use linked to low risk for any behavioral problems in child. Analysis adjusted for many confounders, but associations cannot be judged causal. Future research should adjust for parenting style, maternal hyperactivity, and more.</p>

<p>Autism and EMF? Plausibility of a pathophysiological link – Part I. Martha R. Herbert and Cindy Sage, 2013.<br />
This paper documents a series of parallels between the pathophysiological and genotoxic impacts of EMF/RFR and the pathophysiological underpinnings of autism spectrum conditions (ASCs). DNA damage, immune and blood–brain barrier disruption, cellular and oxidative stress, calcium channel, disturbed circadian rhythms, hormone disregulation, and degraded cognition, sleep, autonomic regulation and brainwave activity all have commonalities between ASCs and EMF/RFR, and the disruption of fertility and reproduction associated withEMF/RFR may also be related to the increasing incidence of ASCs. All of this argues for reduction of exposures now, and better coordinated research in these areas.</p>

<p>Autism and EMF? Plausibility of a pathophysiological link &#8211; Part II. Martha R. Herbert and Cindy Sage, 2013.<br />
All relevant environmental conditions should be given weight in defining and implementing prudent, precautionary actions to protect public health, including EMF and RFR. Evidence is sufficient to add EMF/RFR prominently to the list of exposures that can degrade the human genome, and impair normal development, health and quality of our physiology. With the rising numbers people with autism spectrum conditions (ASCs) and other childhood health and developmental disorders, we cannot afford to ignore this component of risk to our children and vulnerable populations. When the risk factors are largely avoidable or preventable, ignoring clear evidence of large scale health risks to global populations poses unnecessary and unacceptable risks.</p><p>The post <a href="http://sageliving.us/emf-and-health/">EMF and Health</a> first appeared on <a href="http://sageliving.us">Sage Living</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Last night (after 7 years and a lawsuit) the California Department of Public Health released a cell phone radiation fact sheet summarizing research on cell phone radiation health risks based on studies “that suggest that long-term cell phone use may increase the risk of brain cancer and other health problems&#8221;.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>See the <strong><a title="http://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Judge-may-order-release-of-state-health-report-on-10973430.php" href="http://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Judge-may-order-release-of-state-health-report-on-10973430.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> </strong>&#8220;State Kept Secret Guidelines on Safe Cell Phone Use&#8221; on the front page of today&#8217;s SF Chronicle.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The guidelines recommend that people reduce their exposure to cell phone radiation, especially pregnant women, children and teens  as children&#8217;s brains absorb more radiation than adults, which can be particularly harmful as their bodies are still developing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Safety tips, many of which we&#8217;ve discussed before, are offered as well.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So why did the state sit on this information for 7 years?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve attached a copy of the fact sheet here.</p>
