Non-Visible Light - non-native electromagnetic fields (nnEMFs)

Native electromagnetic fields otherwise known as light, is emitted by the sun to power the planet. Other native electromagnetic fields include the energy and information which comes from lightning strikes, and the earth’s electric and magnetic field. Non-Native Electromagnetic Fields (nnEMFs) are newly introduced fields of radiation, invisible to the eye but not biology. These fields of energy and information are often referred to as radiation, associated with the use of electrical power and various forms of artificial lighting, communication and electrical transmission. Broadly categorized into two types: ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, our focus here is on the latter. Non-ionizing nnEMF, which includes radio frequency (RF) radiation from cell phones and extremely low frequency (ELF) fields from power lines, is low-energy radiation that does not break chemical bonds.

Our daily exposure to nnEMF has increased dramatically with the advent of wireless technology. From the smartphones in our pockets to the Wi-Fi networks in our homes and offices, these fields are an omnipresent feature of our lives. While the convenience and benefits of this technology are undeniable, the long-term health effects of constant nnEMF exposure are not yet fully understood, making research like Dr. Lai’s invaluable.

The concern about nnEMFs arises from their potential biological effects. While the energy levels of non-ionizing nnEMFs are typically too low to cause immediate harm, there is growing evidence suggesting that prolonged exposure can have subtle yet significant impacts on our health. This is particularly concerning considering our increasing reliance on wireless technology and the ubiquity of these fields in our environment.

Regulatory bodies face the challenge of balancing scientific findings with industry interests and public health concerns. While organizations like the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have classified certain types of nnEMF as “possibly carcinogenic,” there is ongoing debate over whether current exposure guidelines adequately protect public health, especially in light of emerging research. But with the 25-year outdated specific absorption rate (SAR) values, industry funded studies and trillions of dollars pouring into the build out of more wireless technological integration, the momentum is difficult to stop with a phrase often used by the industry ‘The benefit of technological advancement is worth the cost to health’. The controversy surrounding EMF exposure highlights the need for continued independent research. Understanding the full extent of EMF’s health impacts, particularly with the increasing prevalence of wireless technology, is crucial for developing informed public health policies and safety standards.

In 2011, the IARC classified radio frequency radiation (RFR), as emitted by cell phones and other wireless devices, as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B). This classification was based on an evaluation of available evidence at the time, which included limited evidence of an increased risk for glioma, a type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use. The IARC plans to review the classification of RFR by 2024, considering the growing body of research, including the findings of Dr. Henry Lai and the National Toxicology Program (NTP) study. The NTP study’s demonstration of a clear evidence of cancer risk, along with the increased evidence of genotoxicity in recent peer-reviewed studies, suggests that RFR might be re-classified as “probably carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2A) or even “carcinogenic to humans” (Group 1).

It’s important to note that extremely low frequency (ELF) EMF, which is emitted by alternating current (AC) electrical power lines and appliances, was classified by the IARC as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” a decade before RFR received this classification. The ongoing research and findings in this area continue to be relevant for public health assessments.

The nnEMF that we are concerned about with respect to human health are radiation waves less than 300 GHz, that are divided into extremely low frequencies (ELFs; 3–3,000 Hz), involving high-voltage transmission lines and in-house wiring; and radiofrequencies (RFs; 30 kHz to 300 GHz), involving mobile phones, smart devices, base stations, Wi-Fi, and 5G technologies. 

Wireless Signals and Infant Brain Development

A 2025 study has shown something we cannot ignore. Over one hundred newborns in India were followed through their first year of life. Researchers measured the wireless radiation levels inside their homes with professional tools and compared them to infant development outcomes. 

The results are striking. Babies growing up in households with higher exposure to everyday wireless signals like WiFi, Bluetooth, and cell towers showed clear delays in development. Fine motor skills were weaker. Problem solving was slower. Social development lagged. Babies in the highest exposure homes were nearly three times more likely to fall behind in these areas compared to those in lower exposure homes.

This is the first study that directly measured real in home exposure instead of just asking about phone use. It shows that what is happening in the background of your home matters, especially for infants whose brains are still wiring. Their skulls are thinner, their brains more hydrated, their nervous system more sensitive. What adults can sometimes tolerate, a newborn cannot.

This is not about fear, it is about awareness. Small choices can help protect young brains. Conduct an assessment/remediations from a professional certified building biologist or at the very least, turn off WiFi and Bluetooth at night. Create low signal spaces in bedrooms or baby areas. Use wired internet where you can. These changes are simple and can make a difference.

The physics of wireless is silent. But its legacy is being written into the health of the next generation.

nnEMF’s in the Athletic World

Athletes are experiencing a dramatic rise in soft tissue injuries, largely due to the disruption of their body's water networks by artificial electromagnetic fields (EMFs) such as 5G, WiFi, radiofrequency, and artificial light. These EMFs interfere with the natural structuring of water within the body's fascia, muscles, joints, ligaments, and other tissues, leading to a loss of hydration and mechanical properties crucial for maintaining tissue integrity and function. This results in decreased tissue pliability, reduced shock absorption, and increased vulnerability to strains, sprains, and other injuries, as the body's ability to maintain optimal water dynamics is compromised.

Additionally, EMFs negatively impact brain function, eye health, and overall coordination by disrupting the biophysical processes that govern these functions. Artificial light, especially high-energy visible light, suppresses melatonin and dopamine production, impairing sleep and cognitive functions essential for athletic performance. Furthermore, non-native EMFs induce oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to reduced energy production, slower reaction times, and impaired neuromuscular coordination. This combination of factors significantly hampers athletes' ability to perform at their best, increasing their susceptibility to injuries and reducing their overall resilience and recovery capacity.

nnEMFs Harm Mitochondria – nnEMFs induce damage of tissues by increasing free radical creation in mitochondria and changing the antioxidant defence systems of tissues, eventually leading to oxidative stress which leads to behavioural, histopathological and biochemical alterations. Exposure to radar, which uses RF fields above 6 GHz similar to 5 G causes effects on production of cancer at different sites, and other diseases. 

• One of the mechanisms with evidence to support how EMFs lead to cancer is the impact of EMFs on free radical combination rates in certain enzymes, such as coenzyme B12-dependent ethanolamine ammonia lyase. B12 is a photoreceptor that is damaged by nnEMF. Cases with B12 abnormalities always require a full environmental work up. The classic causes of B12 deficiency are no longer the top causes of B12 abnormalities. The enzyme reaction rate may be amplified by a factor of up to 100. A case-control studies found an increased risk of gliomas, acoustic neuromas, and temporal lobe tumours in users with highest self-reported cell phone use.

nnEMF disrupts Nitric Oxide (NO) – Implications for circulation and oxygen transport:

Athletes' eye and brain health are crucially impacted by the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the body, which is compromised by non-native electromagnetic fields (nnEMFs) like 5G, WiFi, and radiofrequency radiation. Nitric oxide is essential for regulating circulation, oxygen transport, and overall performance. In athletes, NO governs microcirculation, enabling the efficient delivery of oxygen, glucose, and nutrients to muscles and the brain while removing metabolic waste. When NO production is impaired by nnEMFs, the microcirculation in the brain suffers, leading to reduced oxygen delivery, brain fog, and diminished cognitive function. This disrupts learning and memory, as NO is critical for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) production. Additionally, hemoglobin's ability to deliver oxygen to cells relies on NO, making it indispensable for peak athletic performance and recovery.

In the context of injury healing and overall human performance, NO is a signaling molecule essential for various physiological processes. It facilitates glucose uptake into cells, critical for muscle repair and stem cell healing. NO is also vital for hormone synthesis, impacting the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and overall endocrine health. nnEMF exposure suppresses melatonin production, impairing sleep quality, which is also mediated by NO. Consequently, athletes exposed to nnEMFs experience disrupted sleep, further lowering NO levels. Within muscles, myoglobin utilizes nitrite to produce NO during exercise, aiding in debris clearance and muscle recovery. Full-spectrum sunlight, particularly infrared and ultraviolet light, stimulates NO production, underscoring the importance of natural light exposure for maintaining optimal NO levels. However, nnEMFs increase the production of superoxide radicals, causing oxidative stress and further uncoupling the NO synthase enzyme pathway, which is crucial for NO production. This oxidative stress not only impairs NO production but also damages DNA, reduces ATP production, and hampers detoxification, all of which are detrimental to an athlete's performance and health.

nnEMF and its implications for sleep and regeneration:

Exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from devices such as Wi-Fi and 2.4GHz devices can impact sleep architecture. Prolonged exposure to 2.4-GHz EMR modulated by 100-Hz square pulses at a nonthermal output level has been shown to increase wakefulness and decrease time of nonrapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in mice.[1], A study found a reduction in global EEG power in the alpha frequency band during NREM sleep under acute Wi-Fi exposure compared to control [2] 

Studies suggest that occupational EMF exposure may be associated with poor sleep quality. For instance, a cross-sectional study found that subjects with longer daily occupational EMF exposure had a significantly higher risk of poor sleep quality compared to those with shorter exposure times.[1]

Exposure to artificial blue light, particularly in the evening, can also impact sleep. Evening exposure to light-emitting eReaders, which emit short-wavelength-enriched light, has been shown to delay the circadian clock, suppress melatonin, and reduce next-morning alertness.[3] Exposure to blue-enriched polychromatic light at relatively low room light levels has been found to impact homeostatic sleep regulation, as indexed by a reduction in frontal slow wave activity during the first non-rapid eye movement episode.[4] EMR from devices like Wi-Fi and 2.4GHz devices, as well as exposure to artificial blue light, can impact sleep quality and duration, including deep sleep. 

Non-native electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and electromagnetic radiation (EMR) can interact with the water in the body and induce biological effects at the cellular level.[5] These effects are not necessarily thermal-mediated, meaning they do not solely depend on the heating effect of EMFs/EMR.[5-6]. Exposure to EMFs/EMR can lead to biochemical modifications, such as the reduction of DNA backbone-linked vibrational modes, which may affect the morphology and function of cells.[5] This interaction can also disrupt mitochondrial functions, leading to an increase in the resting oxygen consumption rate and alterations in redox homeostasis[5]. EMFs have also been shown to affect the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, alter stem cell-mediated growth, and influence cell proliferation and death.[8]

Furthermore, exposure to EMFs/EMR can stimulate the rapid accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), a toxic metabolite when in excess with multiple roles in the stress response and cellular ageing.[3] This ROS accumulation can slow cell growth and induce ROS-responsive genes.[7]. In addition, exposure to EMFs/EMR can lead to DNA damage, which is connected with cell death, infertility, and other pathologies, including cancer.[6] This DNA damage can result from the disruption of intracellular ionic concentrations, which determine the cell's electrochemical balance and homeostasis.[6] Environmental artificial EMFs such as radiation from cell phones interfere with the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) resulting in making the digeston of food and creation of ATP as a result harmful. The electrons within the mitochondria normally bind to oxygen and allow the cell to reain aerobic. When this standard metabolic process is disrupted by cell phone exposure, metabolism is slowed down and oxygen starvation (hypoxia) occurs at a subcellular level. In these environments cancer cells thrive. Wireless radiation results in hypoxia within the brain. 

Some studies suggest that exposure to EMFs can affect the neurovegetative regulation of cardiovascular function, potentially leading to changes in HRV.[9] For instance, workers exposed to medium-frequency EMFs showed impairments in the neurovegetative regulation of the cardiovascular function, as evidenced by a significant negative correlation between the maximum intensity of EMFs and the high-frequency power spectrum of HRV.[9]

Exposure to microwaves at 2.4 GHz, a frequency used in wireless communication, was found to disrupt normal calcium signaling response to beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation in human embryonic stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes, potentially affecting their function and survival.[10]

Non-native EMF (nnEMF) Studies

The collective research, including major studies like the Interphone, Hardell group, CERENAT, U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP), and the Ramazzini Institute Study, consistently suggests an increased health risk from EMF exposure, particularly at levels emitted by cell phones. This evidence calls for a prudent approach to how we manage and regulate EMF exposure in our daily lives.

One of many studies supporting this evidence is a 2023 study by the SAR Journal of Anatomy and Physiology, which delves into EMFs, shedding light on their sources, their effects on vital organs, and the associated cancer risks. See links and the abstract below.

Study Abstract:

“Background: Electromagnetic radiation has become an extensive new pollution source in modern civilization. Therefore, the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation have attracted considerable attention worldwide. Objectives: The current review was aimed to highlight on sources of electromagnetic fields and their effects on vital organs and the risk of cancer. Electromagnetic sources can be classified into natural electromagnetic sources (sun, some distant stars, atmospheric discharges like thunder, or human body) and unnatural or human made sources (printers, vacuum cleaners, cellular phones, hair dryers, refrigerators, washing machines, kettles microwaves, cables that carry electrical currents, television and computers, electrical home gadgets, radio and television base stations, mobile phone base stations and phone equipment), home wiring airport, and transformers. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are electromagnetic waves less than 300 GHz, that are divided into extremely low frequencies (ELFs; 3–3,000 Hz), involving high-voltage transmission lines and in-house wiring; and radiofrequencies (RFs; 30 kHz to 300 GHz), involving mobile phones, smart devices, base stations, Wi-Fi, and 5G technologies. Cell phone technology is an integral part of everyday life, and its use is not only restricted to voice conversations but also conveying news, high-resolution pictures, and the internet. Exposure to electromagnetic fields might produce oxidative stress, sperm damage, DNA damage, changes in the chromatin conformation, formation of micronucleus in different cell types, gene expression, enzyme activity, and changes in the structure and function of cell membrane, stimulated an increase in apoptosis and biosynthesis of plasma metallothionein and corticosterone. It causes headaches, chronic fatigue, heart problems, stress, nausea, chest pain, gastrointestinal issues, pain in the muscles and joints, sweating, neurocognitive disturbances, eye burning, nose, ear, and throat issues, bad effects on reproductive, central nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, and immune systems. Also, it increases anxiety-related behavior; spatial memory, and learning deficits in male mice offspring, decreased thermal pain perception, induced a sleep disturbance, latency, and day dysfunction especially in females, a change in memory performance, damage to the lens epithelial cells of rabbits after 8 hours of exposure to microwave radiation, produced lens opacity in rats, which is linked to the production of cataracts, and derangement of chicken embryo retinal differentiation. There are a relationship between exposure to electromagnetic fields and the increased incidence of the occurrence of some tumors types, particularly brain cancer and leukemia. EMFs induce damage of tissues by increasing free radicals and changing the antioxidant defines systems of tissues, eventually leading to oxidative stress which leads to behavioral, histopathological and biochemical alterations. Exposure to radar, which uses RF fields above 6 GHz similar to 5 G causes effects on production of cancer at different sites, and other diseases. The possible mechanism proposed of how EMFs lead to cancer is the impact of EMFs on free radical combination rates in certain enzymes, such as coenzyme B12-dependent ethanolamine ammonia lyase. The enzyme reaction rate may be amplified by a factor of up to 100. A case-control studies found an increased risk of gliomas, acoustic neuromas, and temporal lobe tumours in users with highest self-reported cell phone use. Exposure of experimental animals to microwave radiation caused a decrease in learning and memory ability, abnormal hippocampal morphology and abnormal Electroencephalogram. Also, it could lead to a decrease in norepinephrine and epinephrine contents in the brain, leading to neurotransmitter production disorders. Conclusion: It can be concluded that electromagnetic sources classified into natural electromagnetic, and human made sources. EMFs) are electromagnetic waves less than 300 GHz are divided into extremely low frequencies and radiofrequencies. Exposure to electromagnetic fields might produce oxidative stress, which leads to histopathological and biochemical alterations in different body organs and increased risk of gliomas, acoustic neuromas, and temporal lobe tumours in users with highest self-reported cell phone use.”

“Calcium is one of the important signaling substances, and an imbalance of calcium homeostasis can alter many functions of the cell. Previous studies have shown that EMR exposure can alter the calcium channels and receptors on the cell membrane, and influence transport of calcium ions over the cell membrane, which play an important role in cell signaling pathways, and in turn may affect the response of neurotransmitters (Bauréus et al., 2003, Narayanan et al., 2018)”

Radio Frequency (cell phones and Wi-Fi) Interaction with biological systems

Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity – Clinically – patients with conditions involving high levels of exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation were traditionally diagnosed with ‘Radio wave Sickness’. Now they are diagnosed with Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) or are known as people who are ‘Electro sensitive”.

NB: Diseases which go hand in hand with nnEMF sensitivity is hypothyroidism, autoimmune conditions and metabolic syndromes.

Precursors/Predisposition to nnEMF sensitivity:

1. Physical damage to the nervous system

1. Traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussion, chronic traumatic encephalitis (CTE), whiplash. Nervous system damage + Neuro toxin = Symptom.

2. Electrosmog triggers symptoms of previous concussion.

2. Chemical Toxins 

1. Heavy metals – mercury, aluminium

2. Some Medications 

3. Electromagnetic Pollution

1. High powered acute exposure to nnEMF or decades of chronic exposure to nnEMF = degrading myelin interrupting nerve signal conduction.

4. Biological Trauma

1. Lyme, mold, Multiple chemical sensitivities, co-infections, gut issues

5. Impaired immune system

1. History of illness

Key: Look for what your precursor is and look at addressing this so that your sensitivities are not as pronounced.

Biophysics of Human Biology and nnEMF consequences

In 1941, the father of biochemistry Albert Szent-Györgyi, said that ‘all proteins in the human body have an electronic structure’. Dr. Robert O Becker a student of Szent-Györgyi’s began proving this in the subsequent decades. We now know that these proteins like collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body is a semiconductor with positive and negative terminals that channel DC electrical charge. nnEMF is non-visible light and light only interacts with electrons which are negatively charged particles. Therefore, nnEMF can have an impact on our proteins photoelectrically. Other key proteins discovered which work photoelectrically with light are haemoglobin (chlorophyll in plants), and melanin. Melanin is synthesized from the POMC gene which plays a key role in allowing complex life to harness light to power life. In fact, melanin absorbs almost all visible end non-visible light. So, the more melanin the body has the more resilient the person will be to nnEMFs. However, simply by being exposed to these frequencies, melanin in our surfaces is degraded and the protection barrier goes away over time. The other half of the story is that water is a key photoreceptor, and it too absorbs a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum of visible and non-visible light. In the human body leptin is the hormone which regulates body fat composition. White adipose fat is metabolised as water and carbon dioxide mainly, hence body fat contains a large amount of water. When a person is within a nnEMF environment the body often adopts the strategy to add body fat due to leptin resistance which will shield the internal organs from exposure to nnEMF somewhat. So, we have two protective factors against nnEMF, melanin (tan) and leptin (body fat). The leptin-melanocortin pathway is the biochemical pathway that holds the key shielding against nnEMF.

When plants are exposed to nnEMF their chlorophyll semiconductors are harmed and the plant cannot use sunlight as it’s designed to grow and thrive.

When humans are exposed, despite their protective mechanisms, their hemaglobin semiconductors are disrupted leading to anaemia and hypoxia. And when exposed to nnEMF degrading melanin, the disease will occur where melanin synthesis has been lost the most.

When conditions of hypoxia from nnEMF occur, melanin breaks down, it creates L-dopa/dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline, which are the neurotransmitters of the frontal lobe allowing executive function to be boosted. If this goes on for more than just a temporary state, the hypoxia from cell phone exposure, for example, results in further degradation of melanin to thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and flavin proteins. If the exposure continues, then it breaks all the way down back to tyrosine and phenylalanine. This is where the brain and organs experience serious chronic disease. Humans are required to be connected to nature all the time to fuel our two frontal lobes, otherwise these get shut down over time and you lose your ability to think.

Human skin serves as a crucial interface between the external environment and internal structures, relying primarily on water and nerve conduction for connectivity. When exposed to full spectrum sunlight, melanin present on our biological surfaces, such as the skin and eyes, absorbs the light, leading to a process of charge separation in the surrounding water molecules. This separation involves the splitting of hydrogen and oxygen atoms from the water molecules, resulting in the release of electrons. These released/delocalized electrons, along with the resulting hydrogen protons, play a vital role in energizing the biological system by facilitating the transfer of both energy and information through the body's nerve and fluid networks; most critical targets of these electrons and protons are the mitochondria where the body can boost energy production, water production and beneficial gene expression/anabolic protein construction. Initially, water undergoes charge separation upon exposure to incoming full spectrum light, particularly the infrared segment, and is further empowered by the action of melanin. This process enables the accumulation of potential energy, fostering increased complexity, computational power, and overall performance within the living system.

The way to protect yourself from nnEMF and reverse your sensitivity

1. Mitigation using the inverse square law – the larger the distance between you and the emitting source the better.

2. Build Mitochondrial Redox and Melanin Renovation.

ROS are chemically reactive molecules containing oxygen, and their overproduction can lead to oxidative stress, which is known to cause cellular damage and has been implicated in various health issues, including cancer. This finding is particularly significant in light of the National Toxicology Program’s study, which found clear evidence of cancer risk associated with EMF exposure, potentially due to oxidative stress from increased ROS production.

2.45Ghz Wi-Fi & 4G

• https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/11/12/3129 

• “Taken together, the current research results showed that 2.45 GHz EMR emitted from commonly used devices is capable of influencing both ROS production and mitochondrial imbalance, but it must be considered that these effects may vary based on the experimental parameters. In fact, they may depend on the time of exposure to electromagnetic fields and on the kind of cells used. Therefore, to protect individuals from the adverse effects of EMR exposure on the antioxidant potential of our cells, the use of such devices should be limited. Further investigations are necessary to better understand and confirm these observations, taking into account the complexity of the immune network and increasing the radiation exposure time.”

EMF exposure can lead to hyperactive autonomic nervous system.

• "Under low SAR, approximately 0.006 W/kg, EMF exposure leads to the stimulation of adrenal gland activity. This process is accompanied by an initial increase of daily excretion of corticosterone and Na+, which is seen as a higher Na+ /K+ ratio, followed by a decrease of these parameters over time. It is possible that EMF exposure causes a stress response in animals, which is seen as an increased adrenal activity."

The Effects of Grounding on Inflammation

• Grounding directly to the earth with your feet or hands is like drinking water, you can go for days without it, but you should ideally ground regularly and connecting to a high-quality source. When you ground on concrete or in a city park it’s a low-quality connection but will still satiate your body electrically. If you ground on the beach or out in a national park, it’s high-quality grounding and the body will be electrically nourished optimally.
