The Concerns of EMF Exposure
There's no doubt - RF or EMF radiation has biological effects. In fact, There are hundreds of peer-reviewed studies that confirm this - and they are growing by the day. (The research section of our site links to many of them.)
A prominent Swedish scientist announced that we are now exposed to 1 Quintillion (that's 18 zeros) times more radio frequency (RF energy) than we were 10 years ago - and that increase is absolutely affecting our bodies.
Just like with any other toxin (smoking, chemicals, pesticides, etc.) not every body reacts the same to EMF exposure. However, here are some of the associations that have been confirmed by research:
- Cancer and tumors
- Infertility and sperm health
- Insomnia and melatonin production
- Decrease in heart health
- ADHD & Autism
- Decreased hormone levels
- The list goes on....

Considering a Blue Light Screen Protector or Filter? These are two of the best-and we've tried several. Both have anti-blue light screen filtering using a special coating to filter up to 39% of the most harmful blue light
In fact, JUST ONE study looking at the EMF from Smart Meters found that people were experiencing the following symptoms from increased EMF exposure.
- insomnia and sleep issues
- headaches and head pain
- tinnitus or ringing in the ears
- lethargy and extreme tiredness
- memory, a fog, cognitive issues
- burning, tingling, numbness
- dizziness
- cardiac symptoms and heart palpitations
- arthritis
- joint pain
- onset of Electromagnetic Sensitivity or ES or EHS
- pressure, heat
- anxiety, irritability
- problems with eyes or eyesight
- chest pain
- rashes, eczema, skin issues
- muscle spasms
- digestive or bowel problems
- cramps and twitches
- neuropathy
- nose bleeds
- ear problems, worsening hearing
- depression
- loss of motivation
- endocrine problems and thyroid problems
- increased rate of infections or colds
- allergies, food sensitivity
- sinus problems
- lump in throat or throat problems
- weight loss or loss of appetite
- swollen face
- bladder infections, strains
- flu-like symptoms
- dehydration
- weight gain
- inability to talk
- loss of motor skills
- loss of feeling from the waist down
I know, crazy! These are symptoms of people exposed to smart meter EMF which is the same EMF radiation that comes from all wireless devices. I came across this report by Ronald Powell, Ph.D and reached out to him. He was kind enough to share his up-to-date research, “Symptoms After Exposure to Smart Meter Radiation.” We have the report recap as well as the percentage of people who reported the amazing, critical, and varied symptoms listed above.
Dr. Powell is a retired career U.S. Government scientist. He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Harvard. During the government career, he worked for the President, the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. When it comes to EMF Radiation effects, he’s an incredible wealth of information, as well as someone we trust and honor for his EMF education work.
Some people even have Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity!
I'm actually one of them. I'm Electro-sensitive (or ES) or EHS and because I've managed my exposure to EMF through the years and I do work to support my body, I stay pretty symptom-free.
Unfortunately, some people experience symptoms far worse than me. Their symptoms are disabling, and the worst part about it is that they can’t get away from EMFs in this world. They may be able to mitigate their exposure in their own home, but things like public WiFi and Smart Meters can make them very sick. They become virtual refugees and have to retreat into isolated settings. More and more people are reporting EMF sensitivity. It's estimated that roughly 4% of the population is EMF Hypersensitive.
The World Health Organization says Electromagnetic Sensitivity is characterized by a variety of non-specific symptoms. Most commonly reported are skin reactions: tingling, redness, burning sensations. The other major symptoms regularly reported are fatigue, lack of concentration, headaches, dizziness, nausea, and heart palpitations. Other sufferers report gastrointestinal disturbances. Many EMF experts suspect that EMF hypersensitivity appears when there's an acute dose of EMF or from being consistently exposed to a combination of all types of EMF. I think this is true. It's what I've seen.
Though not an EHS study specifically, Dr. Ronald Powell's study of exposure to smart meter EMF radiation referenced above shows symptoms ranging from tingling and dizziness to sleep problems and anxiety.

The US Finds "Clear Evidence" That Cellphones Cause Cancer In Male Rats
You won't hear about this pivotal research project this from our Surgeon General, the President- not even a spokesperson from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences will share the startling results of this multi year tax funded study.
But in 2018 after spending over 35 million dollars, this United States Government funded National Toxicology Program found that when rats were exposed to cellphone radiation, off and on for 9 hours a day, there was "clear evidence,"as the report below points out, that the exposure caused cancer. of carcinogenicity in male rats from exposure to cell phone radiation in
The National Toxicology Program Study is what SafeEMR said was "what is arguably the strongest toxicology study ever conducted on this environmental toxin." Which means, I think, that we should all be taking notice.
As I mentioned, everyone should be aware that there is growing evidence about how exposure to wireless EMF radiation is causing more than just symptoms. If this is enough to have you saying "I need to know how to reduce some of that wireless energy around me!" then please scroll down directly to the bottom of this article for 15 practical steps to reduce your EMF exposure. But if you're skeptical and want more information, research and background I invite you to read on.
