Electrical equipment and high-tech devices are everywhere, and while they may make life easier, research finds they can harm your heart by creating electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the radio frequency range.
Many people don’t realize their cardiac symptoms could be the result of EMF. Still, research continues to find a correlation between the debilitating illnesses that some people suffer from and the mass amount of electromagnetic “smog” currently clogging the atmosphere.
What Is Electromagnetic Frequency Radiation?
“Electrical and magnetic fields, known as EMF, are invisible to the naked eye and are, in fact, the result of radiation,” Dr. Nathan Goodyear, a medical doctor and integrative cancer expert, told The Epoch Times. “This radiation spans the electromagnetic spectrum and increases from nonionizing to ionizing radiation.”
Ionizing Radiation
Ionizing radiation is known to cause damage to tissues and organs. Familiar sources of ionizing radiation include medical diagnostics such as X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans. A natural source of ionizing radiation is radon gas, which can seep into the cracks of building foundations.
