In-Home Consultation (available to local clients only)..... $75: During this 1 hour visit I will Measure EMF/Radiation levels using a professional microsurge meter. I will give a written report of findings with specific recommendations and list of resources to decrease harmful exposures to your family.
Just like mold, heavy metals, water quality and air quality, electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are an environmental toxin you cannot ignore.
According to Dr. Klinghardt, one of the top pioneers in functional medicine, “the MOST overlooked factor in healing is to create a clean electromagnetic environment for patients/clients.”
Even though there’s no denying the topic is still controversial in medicine, an overwhelming amount of studies have now linked excessive EMF exposure with cancer, autoimmunity, infertility, neurological symptoms, chronic fatigue, and poor sleep.
EMFs/Radiation from cell phones and other wireless devices are being scientifically shown to cause serious health concerns. Below are just a small handful of resources to get you started on your research journey surrounding this important topic.
- A correlation exists between mobile phone radiation exposure, DNA-fragmentation level and decreased sperm motility.
- Mobile phone radiation even in the permissible range when used for longer duration causes significant genotoxicity.
- Mobile phone-like emissions affect the electroencephalogram of human subjects during non-REM sleep.
- Long term exposure to cell phone frequencies induces apoptosis, mitochondrial oxidative stress and TRPV1 channel activation in the hippocampus.
- Chronic exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation of cell phone leads to defective testicular function.
- Microwave frequency electromagnetic fields produce widespread neuropsychiatric effects including depression.

"The IARC Monograph Working Group discussed the possibility that these exposures might induce long‐term health effects, in particular an increased risk for cancer. This has relevance for public health, particularly for users of mobile phones, as the number of users is large and growing, particularly among young adults and children.
...One study of past cell phone use (up to the year 2004), showed a 40% increased risk for gliomas in the highest category of heavy users (reported average: 30 minutes per day over a 10‐year period)."
Overall, more than 1800 or so new studies report abnormal gene transcription (Section 5); genotoxicity and single-and double-strand DNA damage (Section 6); stress proteins because of the fractal RF-antenna like nature of DNA (Section 7); chromatin condensation and loss of DNA repair capacity in human stem cells (Sections 6 and 15); reduction in free-radical scavengers - particularly melatonin (Sections 5, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17); neurotoxicity in humans and animals (Section 9), carcinogenicity in humans (Sections 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17); serious impacts on human and animal sperm morphology and function (Section 18); effects on offspring behavior (Section 18, 19 and 20); and effects on brain and cranial bone development in the offspring of animals that are exposed to cell phone radiation during pregnancy (Sections 5 and 18). This is only a snapshot of the evidence presented in the BioInitiative 2012 updated report.
"Repeated Wi-Fi studies show that Wi-Fi causes oxidative stress, sperm/testicular damage, neuropsychiatric effects including EEG changes, apoptosis, cellular DNA damage, endocrine changes, and calcium overload."
"Report of final results regarding brain and heart tumors in Sprague-Dawley rats exposed from prenatal life until natural death to mobile phone radiofrequency field representative of a 1.8 GHz GSM base station environmental emission."
"In conclusions, these data showed that long term exposure to WiFi may lead to adverse effects such as neurodegenerative diseases as observed by a significant alteration on AChE gene expression and some neurobehavioral parameters associated with brain damage."

At this point you’re probably wondering what a modern-day person is supposed to do? After all, most of us rely on these devices to get us through the day, earn a living, etc. Here are my top five tips for limiting your exposure to EMFs:
- Turn off your wifi at night: You can get an easy remote controlled power adapter to turn this off and on if it's difficult to reach, a timer (like an inexpensive Christmas tree light timer), or simply plug all your electronics into a power strip that you can switch off and on with a single button.
- Use airplane mode: Put your phone into airplane mode to stop it from sending and receiving cellular signals; this is a great option if you’re in a space without control over the wifi, like sleeping in a hotel room. Just don’t keep it on your nightstand close to your head, even in airplane mode. As long as your phone is on, you’ll still be exposed to some magnetic fields and the closer to your body it is the more danger it poses. Airplane mode is also great if you want to use your phone’s camera for a family day without the distraction of incoming calls and texts.
- Use smart cases: The brand Alara and Defender Shield, among others, makes cases for iPhones and iPads that help to reduce radiation. With how often we’re all attached to smartphones, this can make a large impact on your overall exposure. You can also find products like the DefenderPad to reduce EMFs emitted by your laptop—and whatever you do, don’t set a laptop on your lap! This is putting your reproductive organs in close proximity to that radiation, something that could be especially dangerous if you are considering starting a family.
- Seek out sources of negative ions: Negative ions can counteract the draining, and potentially harmful, effects of positive ions emitted by electronics. Have you ever felt lighter or noticed a sense of relief after a thunderstorm? That is the calming effect of negative ions. To expose yourself to negative ions, take a walk in the woods (anytime, but especially after a thunderstorm) or visit a nearby waterfall, lake, or ocean. Even taking a shower will expose you to some of those negative ions.
- Do a digital detox. The best thing you can do to reduce your overall exposure to EMFs is to turn all electronic gadgets completely off, as much as possible. This is also a great way to reconnect with those we love, engage in playful activities, or give our minds time to rest—all of which have numerous whole-body benefits.
