Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) – Prevention and Protection
Symptoms
The symptoms and severity of electro sensitivity vary among individuals. While some experience mild discomfort, others may find these symptoms debilitating and significantly interfering with their daily quality of life. These symptoms include: fatigue, headaches, stress, sleep disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, heart palpitations, ringing in the ears, dizziness, pressure in the eyes, insomnia, vertigo, nausea, burning sensations on the skin, among others. Some researchers study electro sensitivity alongside multiple chemical sensitivity, with which it shares common underlying mechanisms and has a high comorbidity rate.
Who is affected?
Electro sensitivity can affect anyone. It is estimated that approximately 3% to 5% of the European population experiences EHS symptoms. EHS symptoms. Certain groups, such as those with chronic or immunological health conditions and individuals who work or have been in environments with high EMF exposure, seem to be more vulnerable.
Causes
The causes are still under debate. Some researchers believe that electro sensitivity is due to the nocebo effect. Others, however, deny this possibility, demonstrating that electrosensitive individuals can detect EMFs. A study conducted by Magda Havas showed that exposure to certain types of EMFs can influence heart rhythms and blood pressure.
Currently, the most common sources of electromagnetic pollution are mobile phone antennas, mobile and cordless phones, smart meters, and Wi-Fi routers installed inside homes.
The European Union, through Directive 2013/35/EU of the European Parliament, references the risk of exposure to electromagnetic fields for workers’ health and safety, as it can cause dizziness, nausea, and alterations in the brain, muscles, and cognition.
Why should we protect ourselves?
Because the effects of electromagnetic radiation are cumulative. Continuous and prolonged exposure can lead to biological damage. This cumulative process can be compared to exposure to environmental toxins, where the accumulation of small, repeated doses can eventually result in significant harm. Thus, the effects may manifest in the medium to long term.
Various studies have suggested that prolonged exposure to EMFs can have adverse biological effects, such as oxidative stress (increased free radicals in the body), cellular dysfunction (including apoptosis or programmed cell death), and DNA damage.
Preventive and Protective Measures
1.- Use Electronic Devices Responsibly: Minimize their use in rest areas, such as the bedroom. This includes turning off mobile phones when not in use and keeping them away from the body.
2.- Reduce Exposure and Create EMF-Free Spaces Whenever possible, spend time in the countryside and enjoy nature.
3.- Grounding and Electrical Discharge. Walking barefoot on natural surfaces such as soil, grass, or sand can help discharge the electrical buildup in the body.
4.- Strengthen the Immune System: Maintain a healthy diet, with adequate supplementation of vitamins B and D, and probiotics to improve immune response. Quality sleep is also crucial for the body’s energy regeneration, facilitating melatonin secretion.
5.- Identify Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: Reducing or eliminating exposure to these agents (perfumes, cosmetics, processed foods, etc.) can significantly improve well-being.
6.- Exercise Regularly: Engage in suitable physical activities to maintain a healthy and resilient body against possible EMF effects, improving the cardiovascular system and reducing stress (lowering cortisol levels and promoting the release of endorphins).
7.- Eliminate Heavy Metals: Reducing or removing heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium, etc.) can alleviate EHS symptoms. These metals are known for their toxicity and ability to accumulate in the body, negatively affecting various biological systems.
8.- Use Electromagnetic Protection Devices We recommend our Pranan devices, which are the only ones currently verified for effectiveness against electromagnetic radiation by internationally accredited research centers (Complutense University, Biomedical Research Center CTS-101 of the University of Granada). Pranan technology has been shown to have beneficial effects both biochemically, reducing cellular oxidation and inflammation levels (measured in eleven markers), and bioelectrically, reducing brainwave alteration by approximately 80%.
Effective treatment for electro sensitivity (EHS) requires a multidisciplinary approach that combines protection from electromagnetic fields (EMFs), adopting healthy lifestyle habits, and proper nutrition. This involves using electronic devices responsibly, creating EMF-free spaces, walking barefoot on natural surfaces, and strengthening the immune system with a healthy diet, supplements, and quality sleep.
Additionally, regular exercise and the use of electromagnetic protection devices, such as Pranan devices, can improve the quality of life for those suffering from EHS.
