Electromagnetic radiation
What is electromagnetic radiation and what can be done to minimise heatlh risks?
Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) is the transmission of energy in the form of waves that have both an electric and a magnetic component. EMR is produced by electrical equipment such as microwaves, x-rays, sunshine, mobile phones, electrical insulations, artificial lighting, computers.
Health implications are seen when the use of these devices is excessive. These EMRs may affect the health of an individual due to their ability to damage chromosomes (genetic material), bone marrow, destroy white blood cells (immune cells), increase the risk of cancer and produce free radicals. Individuals who are exposed to too much contact with electromagnetic fields can develop electrosensitivity. The most frequently observed symptoms of people who claim to suffer from electrosensitivity include headaches, fatigue, light sensitivity, heart problems, fainting, and cognitive difficulties.
Electromagnetic Radiation and healing
Some practitioners believe that small amounts of EMR can actually be used to heal the body on a vibrational level and there is a saying within the Natural medicine field which helps to better explain this “small doses stimulate, medium doses modulate and large doses inhibit/ destroy”.
Quantum physics is an exciting field of science where many new discoveries are being made and innovations and possibilities are being explored within the realms of Bio energetics. Q link pendants have been designed (using these discoveries and theories within quantum physics) to attempt to exert an influence on these subtle energy fields within the body and environment. Traditional vibrational medicines such as Homeopathy, Flower Essences and Crystal healing use much the same principals to stimulate healing, balance energetics and acheive greater potential within the human body.

Diet tips to reduce electromagnetic radiation
- Eat organic and wholefoods
- A diet rich in antioxidant foods such as grapes, berries, fish, herbal teas
- Alkaline foods help to keep the pH levels of the body regular as acidic foods contribute to congestion, a decrease in liver function, inflammation and acidity. Alkaline foods are water, lemon juice, sprouts, fish, nuts, grains, fruits and vegetables, vegetable juices and alive foods. Acidic foods are tea, coffee, alcohol, soft drinks, dairy, wheat, red meat, sugar, preserved and processed foods
- Have a vegetable juice each day as these help to improve kidney and liver waste filtration and provide the body with potent antioxidants
Lifestyle factors to reduce electromagnetic radiation
- Green clay baths, spiritual healing, topical salt and baking soda may be used as a means of removing toxins potentially introduced into the body by electromagnetic radiation
- Other individuals may use magnet therapy or reflexology to correct the body's energy fields after they are disturbed by electromagnetic radiation
- Some individuals put plants or negative air ionizers in rooms with electrical devices in order to convert the positive ions produced by electromagnetic radiation in the environment
- Support liver and kidney function
Natural remedies to reduce electromagnetic radiation
- Consuming antioxidants to reduce tissue damage purportedly caused by electromagnetic radiation such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, Selenium, Vitamin A, B Vitamins
- Antioxidant herbs Picnogenol, Grape seed, Polygonum, Black Pepper, Bilberry, Olive leaf, Turmeric and Green Tea may help to protect the cells from damage and reduce free radical production
- Herbs such as Ginseng and Reishi mushrooms may help to protect the body from the influences of electromagnetic radiation
