EMF and Health

Paula Moerland, LMT — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 14:49:10 +0000

All electrical appliances, wires, and power lines produce measurable electromagnetic fields called EMF and residentially are generally associated with extremely low frequencies (ELF). Extremely low does not mean harmless, it is only a designation for the range of frequencies.

In this video, see how mold's microtoxins increased 600 times in number and toxicity after exposure to ambient electromagnetic radiation. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD then postulates how EMF may be affecting people infected with mold, yeast, lyme spirochetes, and other organisms, causing them to muliply and grow more potent. The domino effect shown could be a major cause in the rise of autism and other mysterious health syndromes.

We can only hope that one day science will step in and find out why some of us are negatively affected by electromagnetic fields (EMF) from all sources: from appliance plugs with extremely high and measurable EMF output to cell phone towers, the proliferation of which, without any consideration of location, is frightening.

If your doctor gave you a general diagnosis of arthritis, of which there are over 100 different kinds, might I suggest you talk to a connective tissue specialist before succumbing to the belief that you are stuck with this for life? No sense living with pain if you do not have to.

Legitimizing "The Profession"

Paula Moerland, LMT — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 01:35:00 +0000

Because of my profession, I expect any day now to have the police at my door. At least that’s the way I feel sometimes when I tell people I’m a massage therapist and I see how they look at me! In my old profession I got much more respect. I guess not many people switch from software engineer to massaging people for a living!
