13 Habits to Protect Yourself from The Dangers of 5G Radiation

How To Boost Your EMF Protection Now!

Medical Insights & News Self-healing

Electromagnetic fields (often referred to as EMFs) are an essential part of the physical world. Electric and magnetic fields occur naturally within our bodies in association with nerve and muscle activity. We also experience the natural magnetic field of the earth and natural electric fields in the atmosphere.

While these natural EMFs are essential to your well-being and life, in general, EMFs from man-made sources—electric currents and voltages from the power system—contribute to pollution that is harmful to you. You are exposed to these harmful EMFs from a wide range of sources including your TV, Wi-Fi, small and large appliances, cell phone radiation, and even the electric meter on your house.

You can’t see EMFs, but if the radiation from EMFs were light, it would look like your world was brightly illuminated even at night—like Times Square times 10. And that light would come through your windows, your walls, your ceilings, and just about every crevice in your home. It would even shine through your bones. If you could hear EMFs, the sound would be similar to a loud tapping noise, as if someone were constantly knocking on your door or other hard surfaces.

Why You Should Be Concerned About 5G Radiation

EMFs, like cell phone radiation, impact our bodies at a cellular level. Science has shown a number of negative effects, including cell membrane damage, loss of calcium ions, and DNA damage. All of this damage on a cellular level has repercussions on your health. In fact, there is even a term for these symptoms—electrical sensitivity. More importantly, we are starting to see that long-term exposure to EMFs has been linked to significant diseases.

The 5G roll-out occurring across the United States and the entire world is largely untested. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) share regulatory responsibility for the industry, yet neither has performed safety testing on 5G. Some experts have called 5G a “massive health experiment” that will have “disastrous results.”

According to studies, here are some of the potential serious risks associated with EMFs and 5G radiation:

  • Increased risk of neurogenerative disease. These include diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). One meta-analysis showed that occupational exposure to ELF-EMF was significantly associated with increased risk of ALS. Another study showed a connection between occupational exposure to above-average levels of EMFs and higher mortality rates from ALS.
  • Increased cancer risk. EMF exposure has been considered a possible carcinogen with links to leukemia in children, brain cancer, and other cancers. Since 2016, 400 new independent scientific studies on EMFs have shown the link between harmful EMF and 5G radiation and cancer.
  • Decreased fertility. Both in vivo and in vitro studies show that EMF exposure alters cellular homeostasis, endocrine function, reproductive function, and fetal development. As far back as 2008, a small study at Cleveland Clinic showed that using a cell phone decreases the semen quality in men by decreasing the sperm count, motility, viability, and normal morphology. A larger 2014 study at the University of Exeter showed that normal sperm movement fell by 8 percent when sperm were exposed to cell phone radiation. In fact, male fertility in the Western world has been falling at a rate of 2 percent per year. And a landmark study showed a 59 percent reduction in Western sperm counts from 1973 to 2011. Over time, this could lead to mass depopulation. Women are also at risk. Birth rates among American women have been falling for decades but took a sharp downward turn beginning around 2010, 3 years after the first iPhone was released. In 2016, the fertility rate in the United States had dropped to only 62 live births per every 1,000 women.
  • Increased rates of depression and suicide. Since the early 2000s, studies have shown that severe depression and suicide rates increased among people living within 150 meters of high-voltage power lines.
  • Increased blood glucose in diabetics. A 2008 study showed that EMFs contribute to elevated blood sugar in diabetics and prediabetics. The study concluded that up to 60 million diabetics worldwide may be affected. In addition, EMFs may account for higher plasma glucose levels and thus contribute to the misdiagnosis of diabetes.
  • Increased risk of heart disease. Radiation is a known risk factor for heart disease. It has also been noted by scientists that, at greater EMF strengths or shorter exposures, the body’s ability to develop compensation mechanisms is reduced, so there is the potential for heart-related effect increases.

Additional Risks Associated with EMFs and 5G

EMFs have the potential to exacerbate existing health problems in some people. Some of the conditions that EMFs are known to cause include:

  • Decreased mental performance
  • Insomnia and sleep disturbances
  • Headaches
  • Brain fog
  • Hormone imbalances
  • Tinnitus (ringing in ears)
  • Fatigue
  • Pain
  • Weakened immunity
  • Stress, irritability, feeling “wired”
  • Rashes or hives
  • Premature aging

My Solutions For Lowering Your EMF Pollution Exposure

There are many reasons why some people develop Electrical Sensitivity due to EMFs – from exposure to cell phone radiation to poor nutrition and everything in between. Even if you don’t suffer symptoms of Electrical Sensitivity, here are some ways you can mitigate EMF pollution to improve your health and vitality:

  1. Buy an EMF protection cell phone case.  Cell phones have become necessary for so many of us. They give us freedom while keeping us connected to work, home, family and the world. But, every time you hold your cell phone to your ear, you are absorbing over 50% of the cell phone radiation it transmits. I like Pong cases for cell phones and tablets. The company has a very informative website where you can learn more about cell phone EMFs.  There are many others, so do your own research and try the products that speak to your needs and lifestyle. Even with an EMF protector on your phone, I recommend texting and using a headset when you must speak on it. Better yet, use a landline when possible. These are all great ways to reduce your exposure to cell phone radiation.
  2. Avoid body contact with your cell phone and computer.  In addition to buying a phone or tablet case to reduce EMF exposure, try not to have bodily contact with your phone, tablet or laptop. Most cell phone manufacturers recommend keeping at least 10mm of space between you and your phone. Avoid putting your phone in your pocket or your sports bra! And don’t sleep with your cell phone next to your bed. If you must keep your phone next to you at night – for example, if you use the alarm feature on you phone – be sure to keep it at least 6 feet away. Definitely don’t put your laptop on your lap if you are trying to get pregnant.
  3. Get grounded.  You have probably heard the term “earthing.” If you haven’t, it is an easy way to create health in many ways, including detoxing from EMF exposure. You simply put your bare feet on the ground and allow them to soak up the Earth’s negatively-charged electrons. These electrons can help remove anything from heavy metals, to air pollution, to trans fats and can also reduce inflammation, which is the underlying cause of so many diseases today such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune conditions. The Earth’s electrons act like a magnetic mop, cleaning up positively-charged, inflammation-causing electrons and creating balance in your personal electrical circuitry.  Practicing Earthing regularly if you live in a big city, can pose some challenges, but there are special conductive devices that you can use, even while you sleep. You can find these products by searching the term grounding products for humans.
  4. Use healing crystals. All crystals have energy, and many can give your own energy field a boost. If crystals and gemstones appeal to you, there are many that can help mitigate the effects of EMF exposure. For more information, click here. You can also ask to be protected by Divine Love.
  5. Create a low-EMF sanctuary. Most homes have wireless Internet. If you live in NYC, or any city for that matter, you probably have 20 or so individual wireless networks in range of your computer. To reduce EMF pollution in your home and your neighborhood, turn off your Wi-Fi whenever you are not using it. Simply put your wireless router on a power strip. When you get up from your computer for a while, and especially when you go to bed, just turn it off. When you want to get online in the morning, simply hit the power strip button.
  6. Remove smart meters. These don’t save you energy and are constantly emitting erratic, high intensity pulses. Some meters pulse up to 190,000 times per day. That is essentially all day every day! And these pulses can travel up to 2 miles. Research also shows that in many communities where there are wireless smart meters, residents complain of symptoms that did not exist prior to smart meters being installed. In fact, the residents often didn’t know that smart meters had been installed. Some of the symptoms include: headaches, insomnia, fatigue, hearing loss/tinnitus, heart palpitations, weakened immune function, irritability, and decreased cognitive function.
  7. Protect your home. Over the past 2 years a huge number of 5G towers were installed across the entire country. They are now activated in just about every U.S. neighborhood (unless you live near certain airports). Disconnecting your home WiFi does not guarantee you are not still being bathed in 5G radiation, especially if your neighbors have an antenna on their roof! But it’s a good start. In addition, you may want to add EMF blockers, such as copper mesh, to the exterior of your home and add others inside near your WiFi router and any router boosters you may have. There are many commercially available EMF protection devices on the market. Do your research to find the best one for you and trust your inner wisdom when making decisions. Also, remember that your beliefs matter. If you believe something is protecting your health, then it probably is!

The 5G—Corona Virus Connection

Over 2 years ago I stated that the symptoms of COVID-19 were the same as radiation sickness and that the worst cases were in areas that have the highest levels of 5G wireless technology—including Wuhan, China where 5G was activated on October 31, 2019, as well as New York City, Seattle, Southern California, and others—compared to cities and states that did not have 5G infrastructure at that time.

This paper from May 2020 detailed the statistically significant correlation between mortality from SARS-CoV-2 and intensity of radiofrequency radiation in 31 countries. The molecular, cellular, physiological, behavioral, and psychological effects of Wireless Communication Radiation (WCR) are explained in-depth in this large body of peer reviewed literature from October 2021.

During the past 2 years, 5G infrastructure was massively expanded across the country. To put 5G radiation in perspective, it’s notable that the natural level of radiation we have evolved to tolerate is in the range of 0.000001-0.00000000001µW/m2 (strength of radiation in watts per square meter). According to experts, the only place we could now find radiation this low is in a cave! By comparison the FCC recommendation for human exposure to wireless radiation is 10,000,000 µW/m2. Add on top of that the increased frequency of radiation with 5G wireless networks that operate at 60 GHz and higher (up to 100 GHz!). That’s a pretty big difference from what we have evolved to tolerate!

So, it goes without saying that if you are living in an area with 5G towers and streetlights all around you, you are at increased risk adverse health events, including COVID-19.

Here are 2 reasons why:

  1. 5G depletes oxygen. Oxygen molecules have shared electrons. When we breathe in oxygen, the electrons bind to our hemoglobin, which distributes the oxygen to our red blood cells and ultimately to our vital organs. Oxygen molecules oscillate at a frequency of 60 GHz. Remember, 5G wireless networks operate at 60 GHz and higher (up to 100 GHz!). When 5G is transmitted, atmospheric oxygen absorbs the 5G radiation. When this happens, the oxygen’s electrons are altered making them unable to bind to hemoglobin, which means oxygen cannot be carried to your cells. The end result is oxygen deprivation at the level of the mitochondria.
  2. This is also what happens in severe COVID-19. Other similarities between 5G radiation and COVID-19 symptoms include:

    1) Changes to the blood. Some changes to blood include increased clotting time, reduced hemoglobin that can lead to hypoxia, pulmonary embolism, and stroke.

    2) Oxidative stress. Oxidate stress increases free radical damage and can deplete glutathione levels.

    3) Disruption of the immune system. 5G has the ability to both suppress the immune system and overstimulate it. When immune system suppression occurs, T lymphocytes decrease. When the immune system is hyperactivated, the result is inflammation, cytokine storms, and more.

    4) Increased intracellular calcium. This can increase your risk of contracting viruses, as well as cause inflammation, blood coagulation and thrombosis.

    5) Cardiac changes. Cardiac changes from 5G include palpitations, arrythmias, myocarditis, even heart failure.

  3. 5G radiation awakens latent viruses. Viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens are always in your body. Usually your immune system is working to keep them in check. 5G radiation excites viruses and bacteria making your immune system’s job harder. In addition, the COVID-19 shots contain heavy metals such as graphene oxide and nanotechnologies. These literally turn your body into a 5G router making it more likely that whatever latent viruses you have will be activated in the presence of 5G. I believe this is one reason why people who have taken the shots are falling ill with COVID-19 now.

6 More Ways to Protect Yourself from 5G

1. Take magnesium. EMFs activate the voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) in the outer membranes of your cells. It has been shown that effects of EMFs are reduced by calcium-channel blockers. Magnesium is a natural calcium-channel blocker. If you are deficient in magnesium, as many people are, you could feel increased effects from EMFs. Be sure to take enough magnesium to help protect your cells.

2. Use Zeolite. Zeolite is a natural mineral that binds to heavy metals and radioactive material in the gastrointestinal tract and helps remove them from your body. While this will most likely not protect you directly from EMFs, it can help detox the effects from the COVID shots if you have taken them, and may make you less sensitive to 5G radiation.

3. Eat foods to increase Nrf2. Studies show that Nrf2 promotes DNA repair and detoxification of superoxide, which is generated after exposure to radiation. The Mediterranean and Okinawan diets are said to promote Nrf2. Be sure to eat foods high in phytochemicals and try to include the following types of foods in your diet: Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower); foods high in antioxidants such as bright yellow, red and purple fruits and vegetables; foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, krill, sardines, tuna, flax, walnuts); carotenoids (carrots, squash); onions and garlic for the sulfur compounds; aromatic green herbs (basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano).

4. Support your thyroid. Even if you do not have thyroid disease, it’s a good idea to support your thyroid if you are exposed to 5G radiation. The best way to do this is to supplement with iodine. I recommend Lugol’s solution 2%. Take 2-12 drops/day. Or, try super saturated potassium iodide (SSKI), which you can find online at available from Morgellons’s Direct and many other websites. If you have thyroid problems, be sure to work with your doctor to find the right dose.

5. Build healthy red blood cells. To keep your red blood cells and hemoglobin healthy takes a multi-pronged approach.  I suggest a good multi-vitamin with adequate levels of vitamins A, C, E, B12, folic acid, copper and iron. Eating red meat, especially organ meat, is another way to get iron if you don’t like to take it in supplement form. Eggs, chicken, and leafy green vegetables are also good. You may also want to take chlorophyl, a super greens supplement, or drink green juice. There are many available. Daily exercise for 30 minutes will also help keep your red blood cells healthy. It’s also a good idea to reduce alcohol consumption or cut it out altogether. 

6. Drink alkaline water. Maintaining the proper PH in your body has many benefits. Drinking alkaline water (sometimes called hydrogen water) is an easy way to rebalance your body’s PH. Alkaline water has been shown to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress by activating the Nrf2 pathways. It can also help detoxify acidic waste build-up due to medications, processed foods, and environmental pollution. The main components of alkaline water are magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium. Alkaline water ionizers can be very expensive. However, you can create your own alkaline water at home by adding baking soda, PH drops, or lemon juice to purified water. While drinking alkaline water will not replace the need for a healthy diet, it can be a good to add to your health routine. Of course, staying optimally hydrated by simply drinking (and eating) enough pure water every day will help keep your body in an alkaline state.

    A growing body of recent research indicates that the real harm of EMFs is largely not from the EMRs themselves, but from the chaotic SCALAR (“zero point”) FIELDS that are always associated with them. Scalar Fields carry complex information, which in man-made electrically-caused fields, is chaotic, therefore unnatural, therefore harmful to life which relies for health on information carried in natural scalar fields (pro-life). This means that shielding (copper) stops EMFs, but NOT the chaotic Scalar Field information. (Only blocked by a high-quality phase-conjugate mirror.)
    There are a number of devices that create Scalar Fields of biologically harmonised frequencies, which neutralise and protect against these chaotic fields. (My choice is Blushield; EarthCalm is another, and there are some others available.)
    Nicola Tesla’s electrical science supports the principles behind these devices.

    Do you know that Zeolite is being pushed into the market by the company “Root” which is a pharmaceutical way to reach all non vaccinated people who want to “detox” heavy metals? It is causing kidney damage, toxicity due to overdosage, electrolyte imbalance and more dysfunctions, as seen by more and more holistic health practitioners. Please look into it!

    Thank you Dr. Northrup. I believe you said in perhaps another article that bed sheets that are grounded really help to remove the 5G from your body while you are sleeping. Is there a particular brand of sheets you recommend? I hate to buy something like that without a recommendation. God bless you and thank you for all your valuable information.

    I didn’t realize that radiation exposure through cellphones could have negative effects and free clothes heart diseases in different cardiovascular conditions. This has got me thinking about the different work environments that people work in. According to RECA, you can get compensation for damages that a larger corporation has cost you due to these exposures.

    Thank you Dr Northrup for all of the important information you share with us. Have a question or two. Where can I find the copper mesh and where do I place it on my house? Can we request these smart meters be removed from our houses or are there covers for them?

    1. Coulson Duerksen

      Hi Anastasia,

      I am Dr. Northrup’s editor. You can search for home EMF solutions online and will find many different options. I personally use the Lattice Home EMF Solution by Conscious Copper. You want to place them in the center of the room (if possible). I have them in our home offices (including my daughter’s study), the TV room, bedrooms and kitchen. I purchased an EMF meter and the difference is significant. Conscious Copper also has wearable copper, which looks nice though I have not used. And yes, you can request that smart meters be removed from your home. I did this last summer and they came right out and switched it for the old meter. Hope this helps.

    Thank you SO much from Norway <3 Thank you for adressing this, Christiane You have been my star for more than 20 years. I'm so impressed by people who don't feel EMF but still mangage to comprehend this complex issue. I myself don't have to be Einstein to get this, because I feel it in my body- and I have felt it for more than 16 years. It started when I was pregnant with my first son. We had to leave Oslo and everything behind, and move into the countryside. Now I can only stay at home. It's like a beautiful prison. I feel like I have been screaming for deaf ears for years and years. Now I am currently working towards the Norwegian government. We are so many that have this "allergy" and we need to speak out. This is a huge threat to our planet. In my house we have a landline and hard wire internet. We don't have a smart meter. I swim in the fjord all year around. I experience that salty water helps when I have had an overdose of radiation. Please know that there is a powerful network here in Scandinavia who understand where we stand when it comes to vaccines and radiation. I asked Neale Donald Walsch in 2009 what I could do about this situation. "Raise awareness" he answered. And that is what YOU are doing, Dr. Norhrup. Thank you agian from the deepest of my heart. May you always be so brave and wise. Love Lene

    Thank you so much for all this info…wow!! I recall an article from Dr. Mercola regarding EMF pollution and wireless technology., but forgot about it., then noticed last year I was having alot of insomnia issues. Shutting off the wireless totally (including the setting on any cellphones, which I still believe receive wireless signals, even when the phone is shut off if the wireless is “on” in the settings) has greatly helped me sleep like a baby.
    Regarding 5G, I could do with out it, and pray for the protection of people, housepets and wildlife being assaulted by this corrupted invisible technology.

    Thank you, for all you do to get the truth out and share true healing with all of us.. God bless you, lisa

And I do believe crystals can have a healing power, but some ‘rocks’ can be destructive, like plutonium etc. Look at it as God’s gift to us for healing and don’t think about what someone else’s mambo jumbo is. God Bless your own journey of enlightenment of His gifts to us.

      I also must upgrade my 3G phone. 3G service in my area is already beginning to shut down so I lose calls or sometimes cannot even use my phone. I plan to buy a 4G phone that does not have the 5G capability. I also have a faraday case for my phone when I don’t want it radiating. If you get a faraday case, be sure to turn off your phone before putting it inside or it will run the battery down searching for a tower inside the case!

    I have EMF intolerance syndrome and I can recommend to use shielded clothing for people who have same troubles with being blasted by microwave radiation as I am, especially when travelling. I’ve got comfortable set of clothing from https://emfclothing.com
    I prefer Leblok garments because their materials are independently chemically and EMF tested and designed to be worn on the body.

      yes I find turning off wifi off helps, I get headaches from Wifi and switching to cable internet fixed this. I am also sensitive from EMF from phone towers after 30mins near a phone tower, I get a headache, ringing in ears, dry eyes, foggy thinking and neck pain sometimes knee pain too. I still searching for protection that works well if any one is sensitive like me and has found solutions will be great to share. I have found using grounding mats when I get home speeds up the recovery from the symptoms if I spend too long near a phone tower in the past it has knocked me out for 2 or 3 days before I can think straight again.

      Karen, I agree with you. Most people do not understand science. Cell phones, microwaves, Smart Meters, etc. are on the spectrum of radiation called non-iodizing. X-rays and gamma rays are on the other end called iodizing. I like Dr. Northrup on some topics, but not feeding into the pseudoscience.

      1. Biljana

      This is pseudoscience. People don’t understand Science. I’m an electrical engineer and have studied this. There are non-iodizing radiation like radios, walker talkies, microwaves, 5G, Smart Meters, etc. Then there are ionizing radiation like Xrays and gamma rays. One damages DNA. The other does not.

          Ionizing radiation damages dna and weakens cell structures which is the reason the 5g network has been controversial. It’s even richer than 4G with ionizing radiation. Everyone is exposed to it because it’s in the air. Folk are getting sick faster than normal as a result. A beer gets you drunker. A bad tooth turns worse quicker. Immune systems are essentially weaker so…

        Cheryl your incorrect! Your career has nothing to do with knowledge on the effects of radiation and DNA damage! Cells mutate from damage and it also causes cancer because they become dysfunctional due to altered cellular states! That’s fact! Chemist has proved your theory incorrect numerous times! The neurotoxicity is equal

    Thank you so much for including our article Dr Northrup! It’s an honor to be featured and crystals make for excellent companions when you are looking to minimize your exposure to EMF as well as remind you of what you are being exposed to so you don’t mindless expose yourself unnecessarily!
    Thank you again and crystal blessings!

    The crystals help you feel better and can lesson the symptoms of emf however your body is still absorbing the emf and every bit of harmful effect will still be realized. A lot of people are making a lot of money selling these crystals and give the buyer a false sense of zen. Research Dr. Klinghardts work as he is the forerunner on the subject in his clinical practice. He will explain to you the only way to reduce emf is move, lesson emfs by turning off router when not in use, fabrics and bed canopies containing silver, cell phones at least 12 feet from you and in airplane mode when not using.

      Not much most people can do, unless you have money, land and distance……..I’ve tried for years..and the battle is impossible…..without land, money and distance……. we lose……things are not going to end well i think. :(. Klinghardt , yes, good info….very few know………

    The flight crews of commercial airlines of the world need your help, Dr. Northrup. Many of us are ill and some are dead. Eye cancer, brain cancer, skin cancer, breast cancer. We are trapped in metal tubes flying through dense fields of Gamma radiation at 40,000 feet in a metal can that is traveling at 550-600 mph with a modem on the roof searching for a satellite signal 26,000 miles away in space. Every passenger has a cell phone ON and almost every passenger has an additional device ON! The EMF pollution, microwave and gamma radiation is DEADLY for frequent fliers and crew members! This is millions of times WORSE than smoking on planes and the companies are disregarding our health. The insurance companies are denying our claims and flight attendants are losing jobs and dying. PLEASE HELP US!!! I am a 34 year flight attendant for a major carrier and I do not know HOW to replace my income after that many years. I feel flying is committing suicide! HELP US PLEASE!

      It is true that airplane travellers, especially at higher altitudes are subjected to increased doses of radiation from the sun (mostly).
      The EMF coming from the plane’s modem and peoples phones are most likely minimal compared to what is being transmitted through the roof of the airplane. It is no secret that every flight is comparable to almost 6 chest x-rays, that’s without “man-made” radiation.
      The ones who control, are never the ones affected…that’s why they are the executives, and we are just the “consumers and employees” who are thought of as dumb and ignorant by those same executives. If you really want to protect yourself and your family, become an executive in almost any organisation.

    Someone should explore the very real signs that wifi and mobile devices have negative effects on people.
    I work in an environment where mobile devices are the norm. On the go and in meetings my salespeople and peers will carry and use 1-3 devices on average.
    I am noticing very clear signs of the negative physical effects these devices are having.
    These symptoms include:
    Constant dry mouth
    Chronic dry lips / chapped lips
    Chronic cotton mouth
    Blood shot eyes
    Insatiable thirst

    These signs are especially noticeable after a closed door meeting where several participants were behind a wifi enabled laptop and cell phone at side.
    I was one of the first in my group of friends and family to adopt wireless everything in my home. Apple TV vs cable , cell phones vs landline, tp link wifi extenders, wifi laptop vs desktop hard wired. I have experienced the symptoms listed above since making the switch. Several Drs advised is was due to allergies. I believe it is linked to wifi as I get relief when I disconnect completely. I also observe the symptoms listed in others who are heavy wifi/mobile users.
    Lastly, I spend time upstate ny in the Adirondacks. I have noticed these same physical symptoms with family members that have recently been exposed to this new norm. Cell phone towers and wifi in commercial establishments are both new to the community I am referencing. I have recently observed the symptoms listed above with residents that never exhibited dry mouth / lips etc.
    I know that if someone starts this dialogue, many more will speak to the same symptoms.
    Please feel free to call me if interested in discussing further.

    Dear Dr. Northup,
    Thank you so much for the very informative article about EMFs & possible solutions, particularly earthing & crystals. Another solution rarely mentioned in articles about EMFs is the use of orgonite to remove harmful, dense EMFs from the environment & replace them with health-promoting negative ions. Negative ions are partially responsible for that good feeling when earthing, near salt lamps, or moving water.
    The science behind orgonite was developed by Dr. Wilhelm Reich in the 1930s. Copper spirals, crystal chips, metal shavings, & organic materials are embedded in a clear resin. The pressure of the resin on the crystals creates a piezoelectric effect that attracts the dense EMF energies. As that energy moves through the spiral & other embeds it separates into positive ions that are attracted back into the earth and negative ions that return to the surrounding environment. Orgonite is constantly self-cleansing, quite durable and does not require any special care.
    Orgonite comes in many sizes & shapes. Smaller pieces can be worn as jewelry, carried in purse or pocket, or placed next to cell phones, computers, microwaves & other ever increasing sources of EMFs. Larger pieces have been placed near smart meters, high tension wires, & antennas. It is an inexpensive device to add to other ways of dealing with EMFs.
    If curious what it looks like, you can see a variety of pieces at http://www.facebook.com/gaiagemsorgonite.
    Thank you again for all of your timely, helpful insights.

    This is just the tip of the iceberg – but so nice to see your article. I must say sadly after spending $100’s of dollars buying gear at Pong for myself and loved ones – I have learned it truly does not shield…If you have a meter you will see that you need to be many feet away from it to work, since then I have invested in Rfsafe.com, wave tech.us, and harapad…..it’s a learning curve but these products need to be tested especially when you are buying them to shield and then you might be more liberal with how you use them….
    The air tube earphones help too – but I am truly getting Rewired and trying to safe away from wireless as much as is practically possible…. thanks again

    For anyone interested in this field the first thing you need to do is get the book “The Body Electric” by the late Robert Becker (Not Bob Beck). Next Microwave News, which has nothing to do with Microwave Ovens, keeps up on the growing research papers that the cell phone industry and such keep trying to suppress: http://www.microwavenews.com

    An associate of mine Jack Ganssle tested “EMI-safe underwear” and posted his results this week:
    http://www.embedded.com/electronics-blogs/break-points/4440300/EMI-safe-underwear
    They failed to live up to their claims.

    Understand that it is my day job designing things like Smart Meters and Nest Thermostats. Jack and our compatriots in industry are designing all of those little computers that run the world today that no one thinks about. The one running your thermostat, the one running your microwave, the one in your TV and its clicker, the dozens in your car etc.

    So with that back background and a life time of Alternate Science endeavors I can say that most claims for EMF protect devices are utter crap to take your money. You want to see data that shows they work, know how the data was gathered and is documented so others can preform the same tests. Just as Jack shows at the link above.

    When places start throwing around words like Scalar, Tachyon, Piezeotechnogy find out if they actually know what the words mean. I most cases they do not.

    I won’t deny that “subtle energies” exists. These are simple things that we do not currently know how to build instruments to measure them. Our devices only measure the things that we *know how to measure*, doesn’t mean there is not lots of things we don’t know how to measure. A product with extraordinary claims needs to have extraordinary amounts of independent data to back up the claims.

    Understand that there are several different things at play in any electrical/radio signal: Magnetic energy (near field), Electric energy (far field) and their couplings. The power level of the signal and the temporal and spatial modulation of the carrier signal on a given frequency.

    Becker showed that *lower* levels of energy can have health effects that *higher* energy levels did not have with all other parameters remaining the same. Others have shown it is the modulation that has biological effects and not the frequency or the power levels. So it is difficult if not impossible to just say a given frequency or a given power level will or will not have biological effects.

    Prudent avoidance is always good advice. If you don’t need some widget transmitting, say your ZigBee based light switches for your ‘smart house power them down. If can can run a cable to your router and turn off the WiFi. Don’t use Bluetooh that works at the same frequency, 2.4 GHz, as does Microwave Ovens. Will I spend my days designing this crap I have very little of it in my home just to follow my own “Prudent avoidance” advice.

    What I see written about Smart Meters really makes me wonder where people get their information from.
    Actually design data can be found at http://www.analog.com http://www.atmel.com http://www.maximintegrated.com/ and http://www.ti.com .

    There was a Cell Phone tower put up in a community. Those near the tower started complaining of symptoms almost immediately. The people got the company into court to get the tower removed. After the Judge listened to the complaints of the plaintiffs he asked the defensive what they had to say. Their response was short and to the point. “We wonder what will happen when we actually turn it on?”. Case Dismissed. In those days it could take up to a year from a tower going up to it actually being live on the network.

    For those that are truly sensitive to EMFs there is a growing community in the Radio Exclusion Zones in Green Bank, West Virginia, by the radio telescope. Transmitters are no allowed in that region.

    Here is what the Worlds Health Orginzation (WHO) has to say on EMFs:
    http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/

    If you truly want to go down a rabbit hole of biological effects read “The Mind Has No Firewall” by Timothy L. Thomas
    from Parameters, Spring 1998, pp. 84-92, US Army War Collage.

    If anyone needs a nice research station there is an A-Frame cabin in the Brandon area along the Allegany River in PA for sale. It is built touching one of the foot pads for a high-tension wire, 300kv+. The ‘For Sale’ sign went on the place before construction was even finished. Gee I wonder why… Does have a great view of river, the bike trail and Fishermen’s Cove…

I use a decorative set of Shungite beads on my cell phone and have a piece of it next to my computer.

    My daughter and her husband had a cell site receptor put behind their home just this week. They are thinking of moving now! We are being bombarded with this stuff!

    1. Tobie
      9 years ago

      We have had a cell tower 12 inches off of our property line for the last 10 years. I have been dealing with some health issues (started with vertigo and now is an ear/head issue on the right side) for the last 18 months that drs can’t figure out. Anyway, after doing a time line of the last several years trying to find connections I realized that my now 22 year old daughter started having stomach issues (gluten intolerance) after the tower went up. Don’t know if there is a connection but one of my natural drs is looking into the cell tower connection for me. I have had my amalgams removed and will have dental surgery next month to remove two root canaled teeth that don’t look good and to have two cavitations cleaned out by a biological dentist. Moving is probably the next thing to have to happen.

      1. Kathryn Wells
        9 years ago

        Hi Tobie,
        I’ve been hearing more about friends and colleagues having vertigo problems lately, myself included. I had gone to an audiologist and ENT and they both said “your hearing is fine, and you don’t have an ear wax problem.” That wasn’t much help because my head felt stuffy all the time, like I needed to pop my ears. Sometimes it even felt like an ear ache. So I took matters into my own hands, and now I’m cured. Hope you find a solution that works for you too! My best suggestion (what worked for me, at least), is to drink a lot more water, preferably alkaline water. I take B12, and Vitamin D3 daily, and I eat a lot more organic green foods. I started to think of greens and water like they were prescription medicine prescribed by my doctor. My morning green smoothie has become a ritual, and now I really think it’s delicious. Salads are decadent and filling because I learned to make gourmet salads. I eliminated caffeine and other diuretics. All of these behavioral adaptations have helped me tremendously so far. I’ve been a few months free without feeling vertigo or the feeling like my ears need to pop.

        That’s an interesting connection you made between your daughter’s digestion and cell phone towers going up. I’ve been gluten intolerant since high school (started in ’96), and I think it might have been triggered by stress topped off with a case of mono. But who knows? That was also the time that cell phone towers were going up all around me which might have added to the stress of being an athlete in high school. It took me a couple of years to isolate the cause of my digestive and neuropathic symptoms, but I have been gluten-free since 2003 and wow did it make a difference!! I wish your daughter well as she transitions to her new lifestyle. Tip: resist the urge to go out and buy cookies and bread just because they’re gluten-free. It’s sugar and we’re better off eating whole, unprocessed foods!

        Dr. Northrup’s suggestion of going outside and putting your feet on bare earth and grass is essential for our health as the human species creates more and more technology that adds unnatural EMFs in our environment. I make a point to go find a tree when I get stressed (and you can do this too when you feel vertigo). I put my hands on the tree, and I notice how cool it is, how calming and magical its leaves sounds when the wind rustles them, and I appreciate how pretty and beautiful the tree is. Having that moment and making that connnection is key to making this process help you. You might notice the scent of the tree after a few moments. That’s how you know that you did it right. That is the tree literally reaching out to you to heal you and to process and remove pollution from you (your breath is nourishing to the tree so you’re not hurting it!). Then I make sure to notice my feet and its connection to the earth. After a few moments, feeling a lot more clear-headed, calm and grateful, I thank the tree and wish it well and I go back to my day—much more prepared and ready to sit in front of a computer and work for the rest of the day. I hope this helped!

    Thanks for your feature on EMF. I currently use a personal FLOWW meter (manufactured in the Netherlands) but you can also get home and office, phone and computer ones. I prefer one that is on my person at all times to mitigate the effects when I am out and about with wifi etc. It has certainly been a life changer for me and I do try to educate my clients about this alarming trend in electro-smog and what it is doing to our health and longevity.

    I understand what a “smart meter” is, but am wondering if the computer-based gizmos like the “Nest” thermostat control also causes EMF problems? I assume they are wireless. We received one as a gift, but now I am not so sure we should install it. Anyone know about these?
    Thanks!

      Hi Jo,
      It sounds like you have some cool friends who are into the latest “smart home” trends! The convenience and futuristic appeal of new devices that can be controlled wirelessly via apps like the Nest are definitely gaining in popularity these days, but yes, they do transmit and receive electromagnetic radiation (light) in order to receive your commands. So yea, they do create additional electromagnetic field problems in the immediate area. The extent of which isn’t very large; probably the same amount as a wireless internet router in your home or local coffee shop. If you did want to install it still, you could still try to work it into a “EMF free” sanctuary schedule, turning it off when it’s convenient to do so.

      Another tip I would add to this article would be to reduce your use of your microwave. A microwave does the opposite that a crystal does. Whereas a programmed crystal can influence its surroundings with harmony and order, a microwave literally scrambles the molecules of your food, which is what causes the food to heat up. Imagine the molecules being shaken like maracas! The result of using a microwave, therefore is twofold: 1) when you are operating the microwave, you receive a steady burst of EMF pollution in your kitchen within a 10-15 foot radius while the microwave is in operation (that’s why we’ve always been told to stand away from the microwave when you’re using it), and 2) your food is vibrating chaotically at the molecular level, which negatively affects its nutritional value, and could possibly even be harmful to eat (due to free radical damage done to your meal’s fats, proteins, enzymes, vitamins and minerals).

      This radiation is invisible within the visible light spectrum, but it’s very real, and very visible to instruments and to seers. It’s not pretty!

        Thanks Kathryn, I almost NEVER use my microwave. And so I truly appreciate your post. It’s a good reminder!! And something that we can all control to some extent!! Nice work.

    I read with great interest your information about EMF. Both of my children died in their 50’s after developing diabetes, then severely painful and disabling neuropathy. My daughter was so sensitive to EMF that she suffered excrutiating pain constantly. Only when her husband would take her 40 miles up a mountain near their home did her pain subside. There were no transmitters or cell phones there. But since he couldn’t earn a living up there, and even if he tried everything available to help her at home, every bone in her right foot broke, and she was confined to a wheel chair until she died. The same thing happened to her brother. Both died on June 11, but in different years.

    I must admit that nerve problems exist in my family. My mother, sister, and niece all have had various types. Mother had a nervous breakdown while going through menopause, my sister had severe neuropathy, ending up in a wheel chair till she passed away. Her daughter has neuropathy, and lymphadema in her legs. She now has diabetes,. I have suffered extreme pain every day after contracting Shingles 12 years ago. I was left with continual and painful Post Herpetic Neuralgia ever since. I have Ischemic Optic Neuropathy that has impaired my vision considerably. And also have neuropathy in my legs and feet. I’ve tried everything possible to relieve the pain, numbness, extreme skin sensitivity, and swelling. I also have glaucoma that elminates most medications. Along with severe osteoarthritis, it’s so difficult for me to navigate on my feet, even with aids. Or to even do ordinary necessary daily tasks. I take a pain pill daily, baby aspirin when necessary, and Vitamin B12 and B Complex every day. If I don’t wear my compression stockings every day, my legs swell, especially the left one (that I’d experienced numbness to while pregnant with both children).

    So, here I am with no family. My children’s father, after serving in WWII overseas, was stricken with Polio after we married, and died at the age of 31. I married again, but since he was one of two that survived a plane crash during WWII, he developed one health condition after another throughout our marriage. I am now 93, try to live as normal a life as possible, conduct and play piano for Sing-Alongs for the Village of Skokie where I live, and
    try to keep a smile on my face while my body is wracked with pain.

    Can you suggest anything else to enable me to be capable of facing these last years of my life?

      I certainly can!! Go on over to http://www.worldserviceinstitute.org And you will see the Divine Love Healing process. Read the testimonials. Robert Fritchie’s work with Divine Love as a healing modality is unparalleled. I just spoke with Bob recently– and he reported on two cases that were recently reversed with the Divine love healing process: Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and stage 4 lung cancer. BEautifully documented. You have absolutely nothing to lose! And congratulations on living as long as you have despite all the challenges. That music is also helping you which I’m certain you know!!

    Great blog! There’s a company – GIA Wellness, that makes emf protection for cell phones, computers, cordless phones, etc. Well worth checking out. It changed my life when I started using them – I hadn’t realized that many of my health challenges were from electropollution.

    1. Christiane Northrup

        Dr. Northrup —– Have you checked out GIA Wellness yet, and, if so. what do you think? Are there any other “gadgets” that you can recommend for protection? Thanks…. Patricia

    Thank you for your great blog/newsletter regarding EMF protection. I absolutely love the simplicity of walking around barefoot in my yard. Something about feeling the dew on the grass in the morning feels heavenly. I feel the same way while gardening – hands and knees in the soil, no gloves! Your newsletters are very uplifting; thanks again.

    The electric company just came around last week and installed smart meters. She didn’t ask if I wanted it and I didn’t think I had a choice. Maybe it’s not a smart meter but it’s a digital meter where a meter reader doesn’t have to come to the house.

    I wanted to bring another EMF protection product to your attention. You can find them at http://www.vibesup.com. Kaitlyn Keyts has invented a material that generates negative ions using piezioelectrical energy. She has had the products tested and shows that they do work. She has mats, soles for your shoes, flip flops and just last week introduced bras. She also has jewelry so your emf protection can be stylish. I was introduced to her products about three years ago and have been using them ever since.

      I’m glad to see someone else knows about VibesUp. I have the flip flops and am awaiting a shipment of the bras. They are a lovely organization to deal with – with every purchase they give beautiful gifts.

    What are smart meters?

    1. Trd
      9 years ago

      It’s a meter that measures your utilities, typically your electricity or water useage. Previously a person, a meter reader, would walk to your meter and record the useage. A smart meter is constantly broadcasting a signal, once a month the utility will record the amount without needing a person to go house to house.
