Electropollution can cause diabetes (type-3)

Most people are familiar with type-1 diabetes and type-2 diabetes, but did
you know researchers have discovered a third type of diabetes? Type-3
diabetes, as they are calling it, affects people who are extra sensitive
to electrical devices that emit "dirty" electricity.

Type-3 diabetics actually experience spikes in blood sugar and an
increased heart rate when exposed to electrical pollution
("electropollution") from things like computers, televisions, cordless and
mobile phones, and even compact fluorescent light bulbs.

Dr Magda Havas, a PhD from Trent University in Canada, recently published
the results of a study she conducted on the relationship between
electromagnetic fields and diabetes in Electromagnetic Biology and
Medicine. In it, she explains how she and her team came to discover this
about why electropollution is so dangerous for many people.

Blood sugar goes haywire

One of the most interesting finding in her study was that
electro-sensitive people whose blood sugar decreases when they go for a
walk outdoors actually experience an increase in blood sugar when walking
on a treadmill.

Treadmills, you see, are electrical devices that emit electrical
pollution. But interestingly, even the physical exertion of walking on the
treadmill did not make up for the blood sugar spiking effect of the EMFs
emitted by the treadmills. Despite the exercise, in other words, type-3
diabetics experienced significant spikes in blood sugar when walking on
the treadmill.

Dirty electricity is bad for everyone, but it is especially bad for people
who are type-3 diabetics. And Dr Havas explains in her study that even
having an electrical device plugged into the wall near someone who is
type-3 diabetic can cause them problems.

We have to rethink environmental influences of modern living

I find this research fascinating, not only because it proves that
electromagnetic waves impact blood sugar and heart rate, but because there
could be thousands, if not millions, of diabetics who may be suffering
from a diabetes misdiagnosis right now.

The reason I'm bringing this up is because a 54 year-old pre-diabetic man
who participated in the study was found to experience serious blood sugar
spikes only when he was working in an urban environment around power lines
or on his computer. When he was out camping away from the city, his blood
sugar was just fine.

The man tested his blood sugar every morning in different situations and
his levels were always higher when electrical fields were nearby. On one
of the mornings, he forgot to test himself prior to beginning work on the
computer. His blood sugar levels were higher than normal, registering
around 205 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). But after stepping away from
the computer for only ten minutes, his levels dropped nearly twenty
milligrams per deciliter.

The degree to which electromagnetic pollution affects the body is clearly
quite astonishing, and this study illustrates that. But it makes you
wonder how many people have diabetes simply because of EMF pollution (and
not solely due to their diet or lack of exercise, as we have been taught).

High EMFs gave this woman diabetes

Take the case of the eighty year-old woman whose house tested high for EMF
pollution. Prior to installing a system of filters around her house
designed to reduce "electro-smog" levels, her blood sugar was high and she
was using insulin each day in order to balance her blood sugar levels.
After installing the filters (which reduced EMF pollution by roughly 98
percent), the woman's blood sugar levels dropped by 33 percent and her
insulin requirements plunged a whopping 75 percent!

This idea that reducing the electropollution of your house could
drastically reduce a patient's need for insulin has never even registered
in conventional (mainstream) medicine. Yet it could be a crucial
understanding for tens of millions of diabetics around the world.

The study mentioned here classifies the type of diabetes caused by
electromagnetic pollution as type-3 diabetes. While those with type-1 or
type-2 diabetes can also have type-3, the data seems to indicate that a
person can also exclusively have type-3 without any overlay of the other
two types. In other words, their diabetes may be solely due to
electromagnetic pollution.

And since pre-diabetics can be pushed over the edge by EMF pollution,
there is no telling how many people actually have type-3 rather than
type-2 diabetes.

If you ask most mainstream medical "professionals", they will deny that
type-3 diabetes even exists. According to most of them, the idea that
electromagnetic pollution contributes to disease is some sort of whacked
out conspiracy theory. But there's more to the study that you need to
know ...

Wireless signals interfere with the heart

For one portion of the study, Dr Havas had patients lie down on a bed with
a cordless phone placed two feet away from their heads. The phone was
plugged into the wall, but for each testing session, the electricity was
either on or off.

Neither the patient nor the doctor administering the test was aware of
whether or not the phone was live or dead during each session. (This is
what is known as a double-blind study, the type most respected in clinical
trials).

At the completion of that part of the study, researchers observed that
EMF-sensitive patients experienced significant increases in their heart
rates during the sessions when the phone was being powered and emitting
radio signals. When it was turned off, these same patients returned back
to their normal heart rates almost instantaneously.

Why is this important? First of all, a double-blind study is the litmus
test used in the medical profession to verify that a study is legitimate.
Since nobody involved knew when the power was on or off, the results are
completely unbiased and hold a lot more sway than if it had been conducted
a different way.

Secondly, it illustrates that EMF pollution really does speed up the heart
rates of certain people. And since a rapid pulse is one of the many
symptoms of diabetes, it seems reasonable to suspect that EMF pollution
could be a fundamental cause of diabetic symptoms for a significant
portion of the diabetic population.

This makes you wonder about the harm caused by mammograms, CT scans and
other medical scanning technologies that blast the body with
electromagnetic radiation, doesn't it?

Electromagnetic radiation leads to many diseases, including cancer

Our bodies are constantly barraged by electromagnetic radiation from
numerous electronic sources, and most people don't think twice about this
high level of exposure (probably because many don't even realize it's
there), but the truth is that all this EMF pollution is leading to
widespread illness.

Most of the recent research on EMF pollution has focused on cell phones,
which makes sense because people take their cell phones with them
everywhere they go and when they use them, they often hold them right next
to their skulls. Cell phone radiation is probably one of the most
dangerous EMF polluters because the devices remain in very close contact
with the body for long periods of time.

A 2008 study published in New Scientist revealed that cell phone radiation
causes human cell proteins to improperly express themselves. Similar
studies also found that the radiation damages living DNA, creates leakages
in the blood-brain barrier, and increases estrogen and adrenaline levels,
disrupting hormone balance.

According to one statistic from a 2008 study, adults who use a cell phone
over the course of a decade increase their chances of developing brain
cancer by forty percent. Even worse, a Swedish study found that people who
start using a cell phone before the age of twenty increase their risk of
developing a brain tumor by 500 percent!

Mainstream science holds conflicting views (as usual)

Of course, many in the medical establishment simply deny that electro-smog
has anything to do with health or disease. And it doesn't matter how many
studies are conducted on the matter; many continue to insist that there is
not enough evidence that EMFs cause any harm.

Not everyone feels this way, of course, but sadly most of today's experts
seem unable (or unwilling) to put two and two together and make the
connection between electromagnetic pollution and disease.

There are many contributors to disease in our environment. EMFs represent
just one. But to deny that electromagnetic pollution is harmful is quite
narrow minded. Dr Havas' study provides more than enough evidence that at
least some people are suffering because of the electrical devices that
surround them.

Our world, of course, is full of electromagnetic devices - and some of
them may surprise you. A typical hair dryer, for example, emits an
explosion of electromagnetic radiation that's usually aimed right at the
skull. Typical office environments shower employees with electropollution
from fluorescent lighting, and even exercise gyms can subject visitors to
a dense field of electromagnetic pollution (from all the electronic
exercise machines).

It all gives credence to the idea of getting into nature more often,
doesn't it? If you're sensitive to electropollution, the farther away you
get from the city, the better you'll feel. No wonder most people innately
gravitate to such natural environments like forests, lakes and ocean
beaches.

So, does all this research mean we should all get rid of our phones and
computers and return to the pre-information age? You could always join an
Amish community. They're remarkably healthy, and part of that may be due
to their lack of electropollution.

But for mainstream people, a more practical solution is to install some
EMF filters around your home.

Some solutions for electromagnetic pollution

As mentioned in the study, home EMF filters are one of the best ways to
reduce or eliminate the stray electrical signals that plague your house.
These filters will capture electrical "noise" from things like
televisions, computers and phones, and return it back into the line or
into the ground. These can be connected to the outlets where these devices
are plugged in.

Keeping Wi-Fi devices like cell phones and wireless routers away from your
body as much as possible is another good idea. If you have a wireless
router at home, place it away from areas where people sleep or spend a lot
of time. Even having it just a few feet farther away can make a big
difference in a reduction of the electropollution exposure from it.

When charging your cell phone, plug it in across the room from you.
Especially at night when you are sleeping, it is best to turn off as many
electrical devices as possible and to keep them away from your bed when
sleeping. And beware of electric blankets: They produce a very strong
electromagnetic field.

Try to use the speakerphone as much as possible when talking on the phone,
or use an "air-tube" device that stops the signal short before it reaches
your head. Never walk around with an idle bluetooth attached to your head,
because these devices deliver a steady stream of EMF radiation directly
into your head. I would recommend not using one at all, but if you do use
one, take it off when not in use.

It's also a good idea to keep your phone in your pocket or purse only when
necessary, and to keep it away from your body at all other times. Cell
phones are intermittently communicating with network towers, so the closer
they are to our bodies, the more radiation we are exposed to. So if you're
not going to be using it for a while, just turn it off.

Finally, it is crucial to maintain a healthy diet and get plenty of
outdoor exercise. Eating lots of nutrient-rich foods, drinking plenty of
clean water, and minimizing intake of toxic preservatives, food additives,
and refined sugars will do wonders to build a strong and vibrant
neurological system that will resist some of the impact of electromagnetic
pollution.

The reason I mention outdoor exercise is because, just like in the study,
certain indoor exercise equipment like treadmills can actually cause more
harm than good (for certain people). So go outside and take a walk or a
jog. The sunshine will boost your vitamin D levels and the fresh air will
help rejuvenate your system. (Just be sure to stay away from the power
lines.)
