The Dangers of EMF – Electro-Magnetic Field
The side effects and dangers of electronics have been known for hundreds of years, and there are now so many variations of electromagnetic fields that this article would be endless if we tried to cover everything.
Therefore, we’ll try to keep it short and easy to understand before delving into the countless variations and risks.
To keep it really simple and with visual and audible examples, we have a section on Instagram called “EMF Health”:

Because many people don’t use Instagram, there’s also a YouTube version, although it’s not as easy to follow in the Instagram format as it is on Instagram itself. My tip is to pause regularly to read exactly what you’re watching:
Even before the invention of electricity
Almost everyone knows someone who can sense a change in the weather from their aches and pains or energy levels. People with rheumatic complaints are particularly adept at this. Every time it changes from very dry to very wet, before a thunderstorm, and especially in late autumn and into winter.
Meanwhile, thanks to funding from the major telephone companies, the science and knowledge behind this phenomenon has almost completely disappeared. This is despite the fact that extensive research was conducted on the subject until recently. Interestingly, in the city where the invention of the “Leyden Jar,” which you can read more about below, Solco Walle Tromp also founded the Biometeorological Research Center , which led to extensive research between 1950 and 1990. However, this kind of research was anything but new and was usually simply called weather sensitivity. Hippocrates wrote about it as early as 400 BC. His idea was that a person’s condition is largely determined by the climate in which they live and its variations. Despite the fact that weather sensitivity has been known for thousands of years, and that approximately 30% of humanity has this to a greater or lesser extent, it is no longer science.
What does ‘the weather’ have to do with EMF?
The ether is a source of electrical phenomena. We’ve all learned that the earth is magnetic, and lightning is such a powerful electrical discharge that many people are (rightly) afraid of it. We also often experience static energy during the winter months; sometimes you can barely turn around and get hit with static. So, before the invention of electronics, electrical energy and its effects were known long ago.
Problems with EMF used to be known, now only for conspiracy nuts
Experiments with electric shocks, which she performed with a Leyden jar, have been documented since 1746. Soon, not only interesting and sometimes positive effects were discovered, but also many negative ones. Johan Heinrich Winckler, a professor in Leipzig, Germany, wrote, “I felt great convulsions in my body. It stirred my blood so much that I feared developing a fiery fever. I felt a heaviness in my head as if a stone were lying on it. It gave me two nosebleeds, and my wife, who had received only two static discharges, felt so weak afterward that she could barely walk.”
In the 200 years since the first documented intentional electrical discharges on the body, much experimentation has taken place, a great deal, in fact. Why these experiments and conclusions are far more relevant than what we conclude now is clear when you consider that the difference between then and now is night and day. Back then, there was no global electrical network; there were only local experiments conducted with the recently invented batteries and the Leiden jar. Now, we not only have an electrical network in every household, but it also runs throughout the country, and partially across it. There are telephone radiation networks, radio and TV radiation networks, and others, such as those for GPS.
When you see what the conclusions were about the positive but especially also the negative consequences of EMF at that time, and that these consequences often came from a 1v (1 volt) battery, which is even less than a AAA battery, it becomes clear that the conclusions we draw now, with our current ubiquitous network, are comparable to a fish drawing conclusions about the consequences of water.
Samuel Milham, MD, MPH, reached this same conclusion in his book Dirty Electricity when he says, “By the time EMF epidemiology began to be studied seriously in 1979, the entire population had been exposed to EMFs. There simply wasn’t a control group available back then that wasn’t exposed; therefore, all studies are potentially biased.”
The effects and side effects of EMF
Abbé Nollet , the first researcher to describe the side effects of EMF around 1750, discovered that some people can experience perspiration simply by being in a static field (similar to what we now know from a balloon rubbed through hair, but without touching the balloon).
The effects described were:
- Change in heart rate
- Sensation of touch, sight, hearing
- Increase in body temperature
- Pain relief
- Recovery of muscle tension
- Stimulation of appetite
- Sweating
- Menstruation and urination
- And much more..
Described (harmful) side effects were:
- Dizziness and nausea
- Headache
- Nervousness and irritation
- Mental confusion
- Depression
- Insomnia and drowsiness
- Fatigue and weakness
- Numbness and tingling
- Muscle and joint pain
- Muscle spasms and cramps
- Back pain
- Heart palpitations
- Chest pain
- Stomach cramps
- Diarrhea and constipation
- Nosebleeds and bruises
- Itching, tremors, fever
- Longinfecties
- Shortness of breath and coughing
- Asthma and wheezing
- Eye pain, weakness
- Tinnitus
- Metallic taste
Keep in mind that this was already known in 1750/60, thanks to research with batteries and static charges. There was no AC power grid or poles with radio waves yet.
How it got worse and worse
The construction of a fully electrical network in Europe began in 1839 with the invention of the telegraph, familiar to everyone from 19th-century films in which someone sends Morse code over long networks of cables.
These cables, of course, had to travel endless kilometers, and where houses were located, early companies often found it an easier route than installing poles. But the poles were also often close to houses, so by the late 1800s, a complex network of electricity cables was already woven through towns and villages.
Not entirely coincidentally, a new condition emerged around that time, which she called neurasthenia (“nervous weakness”). A condition we now probably recognize more often as chronic fatigue syndrome and anxiety attacks, etc. A condition that could cause many ailments similar to others, but often came in waves.
The first telegraph network was operated manually and often using Morse code, coincidentally at approximately the average speed of the Earth’s frequency, called Schumann resonance. The major difference was not only the irregularity of the frequency, but also that the electric field was approximately 30,000 times stronger than that of the Earth.
It’s almost miraculous that doctors at the time couldn’t connect the construction of an entire electrical network, whose positive and negative aspects they knew, with neurasthenia. This was especially true after so many patients arrived that the large psychiatric institutions we know from movies and history books were often filled with people with this condition. Not only were there an unprecedented number of people, but it also turned out that the operators of those telegraph networks had the most severe variants and were often unable to function properly again, at least not in the vicinity of electricity.

I’ll be expanding this article much further in the future, but for now, you can watch the video to see what’s currently in your home and what my thoughts are on it.
