EMF Sensitivity

 

What is EMF sensitivity?

EMF sensitivity, or electromagnetic hypersensitivity, is a condition where people experience adverse health effects from exposure to electromagnetic fields. Electromagnetic fields, or EMF, refer to the energy waves emitted by electronic devices, including cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, and power lines.

​

Minimizing exposure to EMF is essential in reducing potential health effects. Protective measures can include limiting electronic device usage and using protective devices, such as EMF shielding.

​

What causes EMF sensitivity?

The direct cause of EMF sensitivity has not yet been established. Some researchers conclude the condition could be a psychological issue versus a physical abnormality. Some studies suggest EMF sensitivity may be associated with underlying biological and physiological mechanisms.

​

Those suffering from EMF sensitivity may have a heightened responsiveness to the electrical and magnetic fields generated by electronic devices, such as cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, and power lines. This heightened sensitivity may be due to genetic factors or past exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

​

Exposure to EMFs may also disrupt the normal functioning of cells and tissues in the body, leading to various symptoms. This disruption may occur through several mechanisms, such as altering the permeability of cell membranes, generating free radicals that can damage cells, or affecting the production of certain hormones and neurotransmitters.

​

Additionally, some researchers suggest that EMF sensitivity may be related to underlying immune system dysfunction, making individuals more susceptible to environmental triggers.

​

What are the symptoms of EMF sensitivity?

Symptoms caused by electromagnetic field exposure include headaches, fatigue, insomnia, difficulty concentrating, skin rashes, tingling or burning sensations within the skin, muscle and joint pain, nausea, dizziness, and heart palpitations. These symptoms are non-specific and can be caused by various other factors. Therefore, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause of the conditions.

​

How is EMF sensitivity treated?

There are various approaches to treating EMF sensitivity symptoms. The most common methods include avoidance, cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, and environmental measures. 

​

Minimizing exposure to electromagnetic fields can reduce the effects of EMF sensitivity. Limiting electronic device usage, bypassing Wi-Fi routers and cell phone towers, and avoiding other sources of EMF exposure, are effective avoidance methods.

​

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, can benefit those suffering from EMF symptoms. CBT can help manage the psychological distress associated with the condition by addressing negative beliefs, teaching stress and anxiety coping skills, and reinforcing avoidance behaviors.

​

Relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and yoga help manage stress and reduce symptoms.

Environmental measures include using devices that block or limit EMF exposure. These devices include electromagnetic shielding materials, grounding mats, and EMF neutralizers.

​

How does EMF sensitivity affect brain wellness?

EMF symptoms, including headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and sleep disturbances, occur in hypersensitive people when exposed to electromagnetic fields from sources such as cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, and power lines.

​

Studies have suggested that exposure to EMFs can impact brain functioning and affect cognitive performance, such as attention, memory, and sleep quality. Some researchers also conclude that long-term exposure to EMFs may be linked to an increased risk of developing certain types of brain tumors. Many symptoms attributed to EMF sensitivity may have other underlying causes, such as stress or anxiety.

How can Brain Frequency™ help?

The Brain Frequency™ AI system is an innovative therapeutic approach to improving brain health and wellness. We use proprietary science-based technology to promote optimal brain functioning across mental, emotional, physical, and social domains. Our diagnostic technology and individualized treatment protocols help decrease or eliminate trauma-related symptoms and various mental health disorders.

​

The Brain Frequency™ 3 Step Treatment Process consists of; first, performing a Baseline EEG and completing Psychometric Assessments; second, conducting a Brain Frequency Consultation; and third, Initiating Treatment.

An Electroencephalogram (EEG) analyzes brain waves and produces a brain map identifying current and optimal frequencies in 19 areas of the brain. Based on the individualized brain map, Brain Frequency™ will determine possible diagnoses of various mental health disorders or brain trauma for the provider to consider during treatment. Brain Frequency™ AI software provides clinicians with an "Approval Ready" treatment plan using personalized protocols based on each patient's needs.

​

Those suffering from symptoms of EMF sensitivity can efficiently and effectively improve their brain health and wellness by using the Brain Frequency™ AI system. Our innovative system drastically reduces the time needed to properly diagnose and construct treatment plans leading to a faster recovery and greater quality of life.
