Fertility experts recommend in the four months preceding conception, to avoid even low levels of radiation and once pregnant, women are advised to continue avoiding all forms of radiation.
Why and what does this mean?
The planet, lightning storms and even our body produce electro magnetic radiation. A bit of EM radiation is required for good health and reproduction.
However, strong electro magnetic radiation can damage living tissue and cell structure. Radiation is drawn to the cells with the highest growth and division such as sperm and ova and the growing fetus.
Computers, laptops, air travel, wifi, microwave ovens and cell phone towers are sources of electro magnetic radiation (EM). Dr. Neil Cherry from Lincoln University wrote an extensive report in April 2000 on physical and psychological damages caused by long term exposure to EM. He presented this report to European Parliament. Based on Dr. Cherry's findings some European governments have advised citizens to use hands free phone attachments and not to carry cell phones close to the body.
EM radiation has been found to contribute to development of certain cancers as well as miscarriages, infertility, sleep disorders, depression and nearly 50% reduction in Melatonin at night. Melatonin is regarded as antiageing hormone which boosts immune system and destroys cancer cells. As we produce and use most of the melatonin at night it is of utmost importance to make sure there is no EM radiation in your bedroom.
Cell phone use
Cell phone use can affect male and female fertility. Researchers found in a study of 361 men at infertility clinics an association between cell phone use and sperm quality. It was found that on average the more hours the men spent on the cell phone each day, the lower their sperm count and the greater the percentage of abnormal sperm was. The scientists are suggesting that the long term exposure to the electromagnetic energy could harm body tissue by damaging the DNA.
Even air travel can be detrimental to your fertility. Cosmic rays we are exposed to on the planet are even stronger at the altitudes planes fly at as the atmosphere is thinner. This means they can penetrate the body much more easily than on the ground.
What to do?
1. Increase your intake of super foods such as wheat grass, spirulina, reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) and chlorella.
2. Unplug all household appliances when not in use.
3. Limit your time in front of computers and TV.
4. Distance yourself as far away from the appliances in your home when they are in use.
5. Remove cell phones and any other EM emitting devices from your bedroom.
6. Switch off you EC at night in your bedroom. Cool the room before you go to bed and then switch it off.
7. Stop using microwaves as they change the molecular structure of your food.
8. Work at arms length in front of your computer and move away from the computer when you are performing other tasks.
9. Do not carry a cell phone close to your body.
10. Stay away from cell phone towers (base stations).
