What is an electromagnetic field?

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are force fields having both electric and magnetic components, carrying a definite energy, and capable of producing an action at a distance

Electromagnetic radiation consists of two traveling-companion waves:

(1) An electrical field (E-Field). Created by voltage (a potential difference between two points) and determines the force with which electricity is pushed through an electrical pathway (e.g. a wire, nerves, body’s meridians) to produce a current. E-Field strength is measured in volts per meter (V/m).

E.g. A plugged-in, unlit lamp or a charged battery has an electric field. An electric field varies with the amount of the source voltage and decreases rapidly with the distance between the two points.

(2) A magnetic field (B-Field). A flowing electric current always produces an expanding magnetic field in addition to an electric field, with lines of force at a 90-degree angle to the direction of current flow.

E.g. A lit lamp or an operating appliance has both an electric and a magnetic field. B-Field strength is measured in amperes per meter (A/m).

E-Fields and B-Fields travel at right angles to each other and at right angles to the direction of wave propagation. Together they make up the total EMF. EMF strength indicates how many volts or amperes the EMF will induce in a receiving antenna that is one meter long.

Currents changing direction produce EMFs which change direction at a certain rate or FREQUENCY

i.e. They vibrate / oscillate. EM waves arise as a consequence of the following two concurrent effects:

(1) A changing electric field. If a current is fluctuating (vibrating), E.g. alternating Current (AC), the EM waves will fluctuate along with it. This changing field is characterized by its rate of fluctuation or vibration, called its FREQUENCY, expressed in cycles per second or Hertz (Hz.)

or (2) A changing magnetic field. Induces an oscillating current in an electrical pathway, which in turn creates a changing electric field (see above).

Natural FREQUENCY electromagnetic fields (EMFs) vs. Unnatural FREQUENCY EMFs

NATURAL EMF frequencies are beneficial to health, UNNATURAL EMF frequencies are detrimental

Natural EMFs (with nature’s frequencies) are provided by the Earth, sunlight and nature. Visible light and random lightning discharges have created geomagnetic fields and electromagnetic forces since the earth was formed. Although according to Professor Bannerjee of the University of New Mexico, Earth’s geomagnetic field strength is slowly declining and has lost up to half its intensity in the last 4,000 years.

It makes sense that the EMFs created by God were meant to be absorbed for the purpose of promoting health. In contrast, exposing our body to unnatural EMFs never meant to be in our environment may have any number of detrimental effects on our health.
NATURAL EMF frequencies regulate the cell membrane ion channels to improve the “battery” voltage of the cell. This “battery” power is used by the cell to better produce energy, which increases the cell’s overall vibrational EMF energy, indicative of the improved health and function of the cell.

UNNATURAL EMFs (using frequencies not found in nature) were first introduced when Thomas Edison built the first power station in New York City. After 100 years of using electromagnetism in technology, we now have an electromagnetic environment unlike any before. Some experts believe that the wide spectrum of artificial man-made EMF radiation masks the natural beneficial frequencies.

UNNATURAL, man-made environmental EMFs are detrimental to health. The U.S.Navy conducted very well funded, multi-million dollar studies on the effects of EMFs on the body. Their published conclusions in 1984, showed that exposure to unnatural (harmful) electromagnetic frequencies:

Altered cell chemistry	Altered hormone levels
Affected calcium ion bonding in cells	Altered immune processes
Caused defects in chick embryos	Modified human brain waves
Altered behaviour of cells, tissues, organs and organisms;	Caused sterility in male animals

Sun's electromagnetic radiation

The sun radiates an electromagnetic spectrum into space over a range of frequencies – from zero frequency (a static field) to trillions of cycles per second, which electromagnetic radiation (EMFs) we have named:

Radio waves
Microwaves
Infrared
Visible light
Ultraviolet
X-rays
Gamma rays

The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength (the distance between one wave and the next) and the greater the amount of energy in the field

Microwave frequency fields ( with wavelengths of several inches) – have enough energy to cause heating in conducting material.
UV light – is capable of causing sunburn.
Higher frequencies like X-rays and gamma rays – cause ionization (the breaking of molecular bonds), which can damage genetic material.

The narrow band of visible light represents 43% of the sun’s total radiant energy emitted – Only the visible, radio, near infrared, and some UV electromagnetic radiation frequencies are able to reach Earth’s surface from space.

Sunlight (Sun’s visible, UV and NIR frequencies. E.g. visible light has a frequency range of 430-770 THz (a tera Hertz = 10¹² Hz).

Shining directly on the body. Visible light, ultraviolet and infrared rays can enter the body through its well established acupuncture points on the skin, and through the eyes, which are especially electrically conductive.
Plants store the sun’s energy via photosynthesis. We can receive the sun’s energy by eating plants.The greater the capacity of a plant to store light, the greater its nutritional health value. Organic, uncooked, fresh vegetables, fruits, algae, grasses and herbs, free-range eggs (from hens feeding on greens), and essential oils, all contain high sun-energy. Flaxseed and spirulina are especially high in light-energy, as are raw nuts and seeds and grains. It is the sun’s energy in plants that is utilized in aromatherapy, flower essences and homeopathy.

Earth's geomagnetic field

The geomagnetic field, a dipole static electromagnetic field, is considered to be mostly caused by electric currents in the liquid surrounding the earth’s solid core (Not as previously thought, by the earth’s spinning core of molten iron). It serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation.

The Earth’s geomagnetic field strength is extremely stable. Averaging about 0.5 gauss. (a measure of the response of a medium to the presence of a magnetic field). Its daily change in strength is less than 0.1 gauss, which compared with the 200-gauss strength of the magnet that holds your refrigerator door closed, seems negligible.
About 10% of the surface magnetic field is due to processes in Earth’s atmosphere
The geomagnetic field fluctuates with pulsations. Plasma waves (from the solar system and beyond) interacting with the Earth’s magnetosphere.

Geomagnetic field distorted by solar wind and the sun’s electromagnetic radiation

Solar Wind. The Sun constantly emits a steady stream of highly charged positive and negative particles, called the “solar wind”.
The Magnetosphere. Earth’s geomagnetic field protects Earth from the onslaught of solar energy fields and solar winds, causing a distortion to its field — a complex EMF called the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere represents the combination of the sun’s energy and the geomagnetic field, with its edge being delineated by the ionosphere.

The Schumann Resonance Field

Earth’s background base frequency or “heartbeat” is an energetic matrix for life on earth

The Schumann Resonances (SRs) resonate (“ring”) in the cavity formed between Earth’s surface and the inner edge of the ionosphere

The ionosphere (a band between about 37 and 620 miles above the earth) is the part of the atmosphere that is ionized by solar radiation. Electromagnetic (EM) waves in this cavity are produced by lightning discharges inside the earth-ionosphere cavity, exciting the resonant frequencies of the cavity and filling it, much like sound waves are produced when a bell rings at its resonant frequency when struck by a hammer.
SRs are not caused by anything internal to the Earth, its crust or its core
Nikola Tesla called the Schumann field an energetic matrix for the life on Earth. It is a magnetic field that stores information, not too far-fetched, since we too use magnetic fields for storage E.g.audio/video tapes, computer disks etc.

The SR frequencies can vary by geological location and are determined by the cavity size.

The average fundamental Schumann resonance frequency is 7.83 Hz (fluctuates between 7.0 Hz. and 8.5 Hz), and its harmonic frequencies are 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, 33.8 Hz … The fundamental Schumann frequency (having the highest EM field strength ) is about the same as that of alpha brain waves. Those produced by the brain in a relaxed state (When people are irritable, they produce higher frequencies).
The magnitude and frequency of the SRs are also affected by natural interruptions. Mainly lightning. Most lightning occurs over land, and lightning centers move from north to south and back over the course of a year. Also, lightning and rainfall is affected by long-term climate oscillations. Worldwide, there are an estimated 50 lightning strikes per second, each producing 0.5 – 1 Amp, which excite the Schumann resonance field.
Our environmental EMF changes throughout the day and night. Our environmental EMF changes according to our location relative to the magnetosphere. The earth rotates on a day /night cycle within the complex magnetosphere, which remains fixed in space, with one side always facing the sun. Thus, any given spot on the surface of the Earth is continually experiencing a different part of the magnetosphere’s magnetic field. It is the daily rise and fall in the strength of this field at that spot on earth where we are, which affects our biological rhythms.

SRs are measured at various locations on Earth

Notice the spikes produced by the European and U.S. power supply networks at 50 and 60 Hz.
At SU in California, modulation frequencies at 30 and 90 Hz. result from non-linearities of the power transmission system
All sites have 82 Hz. produced by a Russian submarine communication system
A variety of other spectral peaks of unknown origin occur. Eight earth-ionosphere cavity resonances can be distinguished. Notice how the amplitude of the resonances decreases with frequency.

Atmospheric disturbances

Mostly due to low-frequency oscillating EMFs from thunderstorms. With most effect from equatorial zones of Central Africa and the Amazon basin

To a lesser degree:

Solar magnetic storms. Occur in years of high activity of 11-year solar sunspot cycle
Earthquakes. Seismic wave energy from stress in rock

Negative Oxygen Ions (NOIs).

A Negative Oxygen Ion carries energy as an EXTRA ELECTRON which has bonded to an Oxygen molecule or atom. Sufficient energy acting upon a molecule, such as carbon dioxide, water, oxygen or nitrogen, can knock an electron away from that molecule. The displaced electron then attaches to a nearby oxygen molecule forming a negatively-charged oxygen ion ( NOI).

Sunlight. Photons ionize stable oxygen in the air.
Cosmic rays
Natural background radiation. The breakdown of trace amounts of radioactive isotopes in the environment produces a major source of NOIs. During break down, the various radioactive isotopes commonly emit high energy (fast) electrons, protons, and alpha particles. As these high energy particles pass through the air they have many thousands of collisions with air molecules breaking them up into positive and negative ions

Water

Water, water everywhere, but not a lot for us. Only 3% of Earth’s water is fresh water, of which 2% is frozen in icecaps and much of the remaining 1% is inaccessible, deep in the Earth. 98% of what is left is used in industry and agriculture, leaving the rest for every living organism. (The human body is ~70% water and sap is ~90%).

Water can carry energy necessary for our health. Natural energy (e.g. the geomagnetic field, sunlight) can be transferred to water, causing its molecules to take an orderly, crystal-like form, which can change shape. Thus, information from a natural energy source can be held in the crystal’s structure. Water from a deep well or a bubbling mountain stream, or distilled water (empty of energy) exposed to positive thoughts (such as love and gratitude), prayer or soothing music contains structure. Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese researcher and author of “The Message from Water”, captured the images of water shown here using a device called a magnetic resonance analyzer.Dr. David Schweitzer, grandson of Albert Schweitzer, was the first scientist to photograph the effects of thoughts, captured in water.

(Note: the water used in these pictures was frozen before taking the pictures)

WATER MEMORY TRANSFER
The theory of water memory transfer was established by the late Dr. Linus Pauling, who won the Nobel Prize for Biochemistry. In 1999 scientists at the European Union Physics laboratory in Francewere able to prove that water transfers memory via covalent bonding.

Think how we can utilize this phenomenon, given that the body consists of about 70% water

(The brain is 85%, blood is 90%, muscles are 75%, the liver is 82%, even our bones are 22% water)

On the down-side, unnatural or negative energy can cause water to lose its structure. For example, when water is polluted or chemically treated, exposed to negative emotions, or heavy metal rock music.

Experiments by Dr. Emoto. Samples of water were collected from different areas of the world. Water from each location was divided and placed into petri dishes. Various words were written and taped to the samples. The samples were then frozen, and viewed through a microscope at magnifications of 200-500X. Results were fully repeatable.

“Water behaves more like a sensitive animal rather than an inconsequential fluid.”

– Dr. Emoto

Therapeutic devices producing natural EMFs

There are several devices on the market for producing EMFs with specific beneficial frequencies for therapeutic purposes – including:

SOTA® Devices (Blood Purifier, Magnetic Pulser)
High RF Frequency Generators / Rife Machines
Low intensity Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) devices. E.g. iMRS 2000, Bemer 3000

Unnatural (Harmful) environmental EMFS

Harmful EMFs occur in the transmission of information and electrical power in many industrial processes, electronic equipment and domestic appliances.

Man-made electromagnetic fields are generally divided into two groups according to their frequency level:

Extra low frequency (ELF)

Extremely-Low Frequency (ELF) Range. According to generally accepted usage, the ELF region is from ~3 Hz to 300 Hz. ELF EMFs are produced by alternating current flowing in power grids:

50Hz in Europe
60Hz. In the U.S.

ELF fields are produced in power lines, electrical wiring, and electrical equipment. E.g.high power transmission lines, transformers, computers, monitors, fluorescent lights, televisions, hair dryers, and digital alarm clocks.

Many pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy devices also use ELF frequencies. Whether they are beneficial or not depends on the actual frequency being utilized. Some ELF frequencies are naturally used by our body to maintain health. E.g. the brain operates on different ELF ranges throughout the day called alpha, beta, alpha, theta and delta waves.

EMF penetration of earth and oceans increases as frequency decreases. At 5MHz the penetration is about 0.12 m. However, at 5Hz, the penetration is 112m. Thus, ELF/ULF EMF waves (5-50Hz) penetrate deep into the earth and oceans, and are used for submarine communications (U.S. 77 Hz, Russia 83 Hz).

ELFs are not necessarily harmless and may be “Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing”. Since these widespread EMF frequencies are so low and do not demonstrate any dramatic thermal or ionizing effects (as produced by nuclear devices), there has been a commonly held fallacy that they must therefore be harmless, however:

ELFs do induce weak, but significant, electric currents in conducting objects, including people and animals.
Certain frequency bands between 15 – 60 Hz have been found to promote cancers. Frequencies in this range have been found to alter cell protein synthesis, mRNA functions, immune responses and intercellular communication [Adey, 1992].
Electropollution may cause us to feel more stressed, fatigued and “out of balance”. More than a thousand scientific papers are published each year, defining the effects of our abnormal electromagnetic environment. Epidemiological and laboratory studies indicate that any abnormal frequencies produce increased health risks.
