The &#8220;hystera&#8221; is Greek for uterus, and hysteria was a neurological disease that was believed to originate in the internal organs.  For centuries the term nervous meant &#8220;neurological&#8221;, pertaining more to the body<strong> </strong>than mind. Nervous disorders included epilepsy, contractions, paralysis, tremors, cramps, alcoholism, loss of sensations, tetanus, and gout.</p><p>In the early 1800s, many illnesses were still being called hysterical, even when there was nothing wrong with the uterus.  When women had tremors, palpitations, or seizures, but the internal organs were not affected, they were called &#8220;nervous.&#8221;  </p><p>A colleague of Thomas Edison, and budding New York City neurologist George Miller Beard, noticed this trend of increasing nervous disorders.  In 1869, Beard published a paper in the New England Journal of Medicine, where he came up with the term <em>neurasthenia</em>, which means &#8220;weak nerves.&#8221;  If there was nothing wrong with the organs, what was precipitating this &#8220;nervousness&#8221;?</p><h4>The hormonal rollercoaster of light</h4><p>Women are more sensitive to hormonal changes, which are directly influenced by fluctuations in the electromagnetic environment.  For instance, more women tend to be afflicted with Lyme disease due to higher levels of the leptin hormone.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a>  When leptin increases as the result of a biotoxin exposure such as Lyme, there is a simultaneous decrease in melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH).  Our bodies produce MSH in response to the electromagnetic stimulus of ultraviolet light we get from the Sun.  MSH then produces melanin, an anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic hormone.  As the entire planet embraced electric lighting, more people began to work indoors. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png" width="792" height="245" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:245,&quot;width&quot;:792,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:300547,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Children and women in workhouses of The Industrial Age</figcaption></figure></div><p>In 1885, German physician Rudolf Arndt made a connection between neurasthenia and electricity.&nbsp;  He did this at the height of industrialization, for which he was vehemently admonished by his fellows.

Our sensitivity to hearing determines our survival, as our auditory sense allows us to pick up emotional cues from our environment.  When sound is driven through Broca&#8217;s area of the brain, the signal crosses into the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, where imagination and emotions are processed.  This is why I like to mute YouTube commercials - as marketers know how to induce suggestive buying states with emotions evoked by sound.</p><p>Hearing is primal.  What waves have pulsed the sound of music for aeons?</p><h4>The Song Remains the Same&#8230; as the Sun</h4><p>The vinyl record we used to hear for hundreds of thousands of years was from sunlight, whose incoming signal would beam into our ears after some of the slower wavelengths of red and infrared light would spin around our external ear cartilage.&nbsp; The ridging in our ear design then focuses higher energy beams down into our land-based melanin space station (Houston, do we have a hearing problem?).  </p><p>Instead of stressed NASA ground control operators, we have the engines of our cells, the mitochondria, that work tirelessly trying to finally relay these frequencies to an of our area brain called Ammon&#8217;s Horn, also known as the hippocampus:</p><div

Naftalin believed that electrical forces were central. He focused attention on the tectorial membrane, a jelly-like substance that is both a semiconductor and piezoelectric liquid crystal.</p><p>Piezoelectric substances are able to convert electrical voltage into mechanical pressure, and vice versa. Quartz crystals are such an example, and are used in radio receivers to convert electrical vibrations into sound.  </p><p>Semiconductors are used in electronics and computers, because they are able to relay a tremendous amount of data using electrical transmission.

However this theory was always mechanical in nature, and disregarded the role of electricity. </p><p>As far back as 1933, scientists of the day were challenging this mechanical version of hearing. Augustus Pohlman, an anatomy professor and dean of the school of medicine at the University of South Dakota, was such a man. He believed that the hair cells of the ear were pressure sensors, which would explain how the ear could be so extremely sensitive. This also explained why the cochlea is embedded in the densest bone in the human body: the cochlea is a soundproof chamber.</p><h4>What powers our melanin computer chip?</h4><p>What is a skin pigment doing in our ear?</p><p>It turns out melanin is way more than just a pigment. Remember those mitochondrial NASA ground operators working tirelessly at Ammon&#8217;s Horn?   They need sunlight to work smarter, not harder.</p><p>Sunlight powers our battery of mitochondria, causing a spark of electricity that the potassium (K) in the fluid of our inner ear uses to create UV

1960, the sounds of silence struck a chord.</p><p>Biologist Allan H. Frey, who was employed at General Electric&#8217;s (GE) Advanced Electronics Center at Cornell University, bumped into a fellow technician at GE who told Frey that he could hear radar. Frey remembers walking to the man&#8217;s work site near Syracuse: &#8220;When I walked around there and climbed up to stand at the edge of the pulsating beam, I could hear it, too&#8230;going <em>zip-zip-zip</em>.&#8221; The auditory phenomenon of microwave sound was also described as a &#8220;buzz, click, hiss or bump.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-8" href="#footnote-8" target="_self">8</a></p><p>Even before 1960, Frey, being a curious man, was fascinated with how electricity in the air affects our nervous system. This chance encounter in Syracuse led Frey to quit his job at GE and pursue full-time research into the effects of microwave radiation. In 1961, he published his first paper on &#8220;microwave hearing.&#8221;<a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/what-does-radiation-sound-like#footnote-1-102664014">1</a> The microwave auditory effect (MAE) is commonly known as the <em>Frey effect</em>. Frey would spend the next twenty years researching the effects of microwaves on the auditory and nervous system, the eyes, brain, and the heart.</p><h4>The tinfoil hat</h4><p>In his studies, which were funded by the Office of Naval Research and the US Army, Frey discovered that when a metal shield in the form of an aluminum mesh/ screen was placed between the subject and the radar, no microwave sounds were heard.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-9" href="#footnote-9" target="_self">9</a> The aluminum was placed on our temporal region, where we are most sensitive to EMFs.</p><p>Many people who complain of &#8220;microwave hearing&#8221; (including myself) can sense that these sounds emanate not from our ear, but right in front, by the location of our brain's temporal lobe (where our temples are). This is due to the piezoelectric nature of our cochlea, as it converts electric currents into sound.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-10" href="#footnote-10" target="_self">10</a></p><p></p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/526acd4b-28bb-482a-8593-7f5f83170364_400x394.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7dbd202f-8967-4d7d-8a58-a40fea80d491_1080x1080.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot; Human auditory system response to modulated electromagnetic energy - Allan.H.Frey (1961) &quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;The Frey Effect&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/cb574d26-cee3-4631-ad44-87ec79455949_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://romanshapoval.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><h4>How can the deaf be made to hear?</h4><p>Many mainstream science websites state that human hearing is in the <em>audible frequency </em>range, between 20-20,000Hz (Hz = cycles per second). This is incorrect.</p><p>Since the 1940s, there has been much scientific literature proving that humans, even the deaf, can hear in the <em>ultrasonic </em>frequency range of 20,000-225,000 Hz, a range previously relegated to the likes of bats and dolphins.<a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/what-does-radiation-sound-like#footnote-5-102664014">5</a></p><p>The ability to hear these tones depends on the health of the acoustic nerve. The deaf have what is called conduction deafness, and not nerve deafness. Even since 1925, amateur radio enthusiasts found that deaf people, whose eardrums could no longer function properly, but whose (acoustic) nerve centers are intact, can hear radio.<a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/what-does-radiation-sound-like#footnote-6-102664014">6</a> The deaf were able to hear when an electrode was applied to the surface of the skin, which vibrated and created sound by reaching the inner ear through bone conduction.<a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/what-does-radiation-sound-like#footnote-7-102664014">7</a></p><p>In 1936, this phenomenon was named &#8220;electrophonic hearing&#8221; by Harvard psychologist Stanley Stevens. In 1958, a young inventor by the name of Patrick Flanagan would apply the work of Stevens by inventing the Neurophone, which is still used today. This device works by skin vibration as well, but uses a carrier frequency in the ultrasonic range.</p><p>These findings are in tune with the principle of piezoelectric transmission of light into a mechanical force of sound, as our nerves pick up on electrical wave impulses in our environment.</p><h4>Airpods are for airheads</h4><p>Devices such as airpods and Fitbits use radiofrequency (RF, a type of EMF), which ultimately vibrates and steals electrons from your tissues.</p><p>A hallmark of sound health is having a net negative charge, and being able to donate electrons (negative charge) to many cellular processes that need them. This is why <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/how-to-treat-emf-radiation-part-2">food high in NAD+</a> is crucial, along with practices like grounding.*</p><p><em>*Note:  In North America the utility companies use the Earth as the return / ground path, and ground current EMF may be present in your area.  If so, grounding is not advisable.</em></p><p>When we lose electrons, we also become dehydrated more easily as our bodies require charged (structured) water to work. This <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/i/120334740/our-bodys-battery">structured water</a> barrier is what  ultimately buffers the violent vibrations our bodies experience as a result of EMFs from wireless devices such as airpods.</p><p>The light that we &#8220;hear&#8221; from airpods have short wavelengths with high intensity. These wavelengths cause us to lose nitric oxide (NO), which when balanced helps us maintain healthy circulation (think beets) and maintain energy levels.</p><p>This is how our brains and nervous system perceives and receives Bluetooth radiation at 2.45 GHz, or <strong>2.5 billion times per second:</strong></p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;241997fe-c3e9-48a9-9a1a-5efbdf433f78&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/tinnutus?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/tinnutus?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><p>Remember - melanin absorbs UV light.

tinnitus have been rising for at least the last thirty years, and have climbed by one-third from 1982-1996 alone.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-11" href="#footnote-11" target="_self">11</a> By 2004, over 50 million adults were found to suffer from tinnitus. The surprising fact, found by a US nationwide survey conducted in 2010 by the Better Hearing Institute, was that 44 percent of Americans who complained of ringing in their ears said they had normal hearing. Researchers falsely assumed that the subjects of the study had hearing loss but did not know it.   </p><p>Similar hearing studies had already been conducted at the University of Madison Wisconsin in 1995 with a follow-up in 2008. These researchers had expected to see a decline in tinnitus, as hearing disorders among older adults declined. However they found just the opposite: a steady increase in tinnitus in all age groups occurred during the 1990s and 2000s, increasing at a rate of about 50 percent.<a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/what-does-radiation-sound-like#footnote-10-102664014">10</a></p><p>Studies on seven-year-old children by professor of audiology Kajsa-Mia Holgers at the University of Jonkoping in Sweden, conducted in 1997 and 2005, revealed a staggering 42 percent of children reporting ringing in their ears. Holgers also found that more than half of high school students aged 13 to 16 reported tinnitus in some form during the 2003-2004 school year. In 2004, school children aged 9 to 16 reported tinnitus, and 14 percent heard it everyday.</p><p>Why would children, who normally have very healthy hearing, be experiencing tinnitus?</p><p>If a child or adult has otherwise healthy hearing, then we must look at what may be causing this disturbance in our environment.</p><p>We know that we can hear electromagnetic energy in the ultrasonic range from 20 kHz to about 225 kHz.</p><p>What transmits at 20 kHz- 225 kHz?</p><p>The same radiowaves and radar that Allan Frey could hear, and proved to be audible in his studies, which have been increasingly surrounding us since the 1940s.</p><h3>Two tactics we employ to reduce tinnitus</h3><h4>1. Sound ground</h4><p>Did you know that our mitochondria are magnetic?<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-12" href="#footnote-12" target="_self">12</a> </p><p>Researchers at Ohio University discovered that both heat and sound are controlled by magnetic fields.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-13" href="#footnote-13" target="_self">13</a>&nbsp; Both heat and sound are created when atoms vibrate. The researchers found that magnetic fields caused some of the phonons (sound particles) passing through the material to vibrate out of sync so that they bumped into one another.&nbsp; Our cells communicate via vibration and frequencies of 0-75 Hz.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-14" href="#footnote-14" target="_self">14</a> </p><p>Our mitochondria, which process the auditory signal at Ammon&#8217;s Horn, are inherently magnetic.&nbsp; When we ground, we can regulate magnetic fields for our mitochondria, giving them more processing power for light and sound.</p><p>Grounding in an area away from electrical infrastructure is best, however if you&#8217;re unsure about ground current, you can even stand on a sheet of aluminum foil as this will discharge excess electrons from your body.  However your feet will not necessarily pick up the inherent magnetic field of the Earth. I&#8217;ll typically test for artificial magnetic fields with my <a href="https://safelivingtechnologies.com/products/trifield-emf-meter.html?aff=265">TF2 Trifield</a> meter first. </p><div

all costs!) who have had acute tinnitus after shutting off their circuit breaker (emanates a large magnetic field).&nbsp; </p><p>They report immediate relief after grounding:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;At night when I shutdown the power to the home, I go to the circuit breaker, which outputs around 100+ milliGauss when in close proximity to it. Doing this at 10pm before going to sleep I&#8217;m thinking can be disrupting, even a 10 second exposure. In the first month of moving into my new home, I noticed that after getting into bed and shutting down the power, I get a few minutes of tinnitus afterwards. </p><p>To compensate, I think I&#8217;ve successfully hacked it in a way you may not expect. After flipping the switches, I perform &#8216;Immediate Grounding&#8217; immediately thereafter (within about 10 seconds). I can do this because in my home, I have an internal stone-wall that&#8217;s connected to the earth (image below). So I experimented this past week.</p><p>After shutting down the power, I go over to the wall and touch it for about 2 minutes. Voila&#8230; it appears I have little to no tinnitus when I crawl into bed. Last night I only touched the wall for a few seconds and then got into bed, and I noticed the tinnitus, but wasn&#8217;t as intense and went away after just a minute. So I&#8217;m thinking there&#8217;s an actual perceptive difference when I ground after touching the circuit breaker, and when I don&#8217;t ground after touching the circuit breaker.&#8221;</p><p>~ &#8220;Scotty&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Case in point: I like standing barefoot on my basement floor while I type Substack articles.  I&#8217;ve tested the magnetic field and electric field and both are near zero.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Live in the near-infrared light district</h4><p>Not to sound like a broken record, but light is the key to sound.&nbsp; Melanin is the pigment located in our ear that is built up through exposure to infrared and UV light.&nbsp; Before we can absorb UV to optimize the effects of melanin, we need to first load up on infrared light during the AM and throughout the year.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>Sunlight is still essential as the sun carries an infinite amount of wavelengths, however infrared light therapy can also help us build melanin and&nbsp; optimize mitochondrial function.&nbsp; However when choosing a light therapy source, near infrared (NIR) proves to be the best.&nbsp; NIR also helps us increase subcellular melatonin, which we use during the day and night to fight cellular damage.</p><p>Far infrared saunas don&#8217;t penetrate our skin as deeply, and many infrared saunas emit extreme levels of EMF radiation.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

Today, many are obese due to their cells&#8217; reduced ability to metabolize fats as well as glucose.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> <a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a> Impairment of fat metabolism is a sign that the engines of the cell, our mitochondria, aren&#8217;t working efficiently.  How then, do artificial frequencies degrade our metabolism?</p><p>EMFs reduce the ability of our mitochondria to use free electrons, which ultimately power the basis of our metabolism - the electron transport chain (ETC).  Our ETC operates within our mitochondria, and requires critical enzymes like cytochrome C oxidase in order to efficiently generate energy for our bodies. </p><p>We can think of this chain as a train, or a locomotive that uses infrared and full spectrum sunlight as its &#8220;coal&#8221; to create energy.  Sunlight is a natural form of electromagnetic radiation, to which we&#8217;ve been adapted for our entire existence. Like plants, humans use sunlight to create energy.  The end-product of our ETC is the energy molecule known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP).</p><h4>&#128243; What happens when we introduce electrosmog?</h4><p>Dampened by the smog of artificial, invisible light, the fire of our metabolic locomotive dies out from too much electric rain.  Now our mitochondria are stuck in the middle of the woods with no flashlight.  Since we&#8217;re only using the light of our iPhones to guide us back into a labyrinth of false health solutions and fallen gurus like Peter Attia who tell us airpods aren&#8217;t a problem, our metabolism can&#8217;t find its way back home.</p><p>Ultimately we arrive at our final destination - metabolic disorder.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

sugar?</h4><p>During the Cold War, the Joint Publications Research Service translated foreign documents of Soviet research, which showed how participants exposed to electromagnetic fields, similar to those of the cordless phones and cell phones we have today, were prediabetic and had sugar in their urine after the experiments. In 2010, Harvard, along with the University of Massachusetts and Joslin Diabetes Center, published a review of the role of mitochondria in diabetes, and concluded that there was a &#8220;failure of mitochondria to adapt to higher cellular demands.&#8221; </p><p>In 2011, Finnish researchers conducted brain scans and submitted their findings to the Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, showing that glucose metabolism is disrupted in the region of the brain next to a cell phone.</p><p>When mitochondria do not get the appropriate energy input (sunlight), the demand on their energy output (production) is higher.  In a way, it&#8217;s not that the obese have too much energy (stored fat), but too little, as they aren&#8217;t able to efficiently create energy via the ETC.

When she walks on her treadmill (which emits dirty electricity) her blood sugar rises considerably.</p></li><li><p>An 80-year old female with Type 1 diabetes:  her blood sugar dropped by 33%  and the insulin dose she required dropped by 75% after installing filters that reduce dirty electricity.</p></li><li><p>A 12-year old male with elevated blood sugar was rushed to a hospital, and had elevated blood sugar while admitted, but once he went home and was able to reduce EMF in his environment, blood sugar decreased considerably.</p></li></ol><p>More details of the study can be found in the following video:</p><div id="youtube2-gJcM6RZwyfA" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;gJcM6RZwyfA&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/gJcM6RZwyfA?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/diabetesemf?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/diabetesemf?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><h4>Why diabetics need UV light</h4><p>Did you know that diabetics often have low Vitamin D levels?<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a></p><p>A healthy kidney is loaded with vitamin D receptors, which convert D to calcitriol, which then helps our bodies regulate calcium levels.  </p><p>Why aren&#8217;t doctors prescribing sunlight, rather than dialysis, for diabetics?</p><p>You may also notice that many diabetics have teeth that are more yellow than translucent white.

Neurosurgeons like Dr. Jack Kruse surmise that diabetics have defects in POMC (proopiomelanocortin) in their dentin<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a> and other tissues, causing this yellow color. </p><p>How do we ensure we have optimal amounts of POMC?</p><p>By exposing ourselves to full spectrum UV!</p><p>POMC also helps us make<strong> </strong>melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH).   Both hormones help us control appetite by balancing our levels of leptin.  POMC needs sunlight and the right amount of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) to work efficiently.

radiation can effect how our bodies process and use calcium.  An Eastern perspective of how EMFs impact us maintains that it&#8217;s not calcium, but our very life force, our  <em>&#233;lan vital</em>, that is affected.  According to traditional Chinese medicine, our kidneys are the source of <em>qi, </em>or vital life force energy.

href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK481900/">Source</a></figcaption></figure></div><p>We make MSH by exposing ourselves to UV light.  Judging by the amount of people sheltering indoors with their iPads, and avoiding the Sun, we can expect diabetes to soar, especially in younger populations.</p><p>Why else is UV good for a diabetic?</p><p>Regular exposure to solar UV light via our eyes and skin stimulates our thyroid and brain to make the T3 thyroid hormone.  T3 balances our body&#8217;s metabolism. Tanning in full spectrum sunlight also increases our metabolism, which in turn helps us maintain a healthier weight.</p><h4>Wild Fat Rats Can&#8217;t Stop Eating Sugar too?</h4><p>If humans are becoming diabetic and obese in response to the planet being saturated with artificial junk light, what&#8217;s happening to our furry friends?  What could be a better control group in an experiment, than animals who aren&#8217;t subject to their own placebo effect?  </p><p>David B. Allison, Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Alabama School of Public Health, analyzed over 20,000 animals from twenty-four populations, and found that the average weight of the animals rose over time.</p><p>Chimps gained the most and were twenty-nine times more obese in 2005 compared to 1985. Even country rats were 15% more obese each decade, over a period of 40 years.</p><p>Wild and domestic animals had both been gaining weight since at least the 1940s.  What changed?</p><p>After World War II, there was an exponential increase in not only streetlight in rural areas, but an explosion in radar technology, unleashing foreign frequencies upon the earth for the first time in its existence.</p><p>As barons of the Industrial Age forged new avenues of light, humanity became emboldened, carving out dark alleys where not even rats could hide from the torrential downpour of electric rain.  Today we nibble away at the crumb of electronic concrete before us, seeking a way out of a prison ship, which rat and man alike cannot abandon.  </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

Our ancestors believed that it was not contagious, and its arrival was thought to be governed by the &#8220;influence&#8221; of the stars.  This is how influenza, commonly referred to as the flu, originally got its name.</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;However in 1889, the behavior of the this mystery illness changed.  After 1889, the flu would return each year, and has been with us, and each part of the world, ever since.&#8221;</em>  ~ Arthur Firstenberg, <em>The Invisible Rainbow</em></p></blockquote><p>In 1992, one of the world&#8217;s authorities on the epidemiology of influenza, R. Edgar Hope-Simpson, published a <a href="https://amzn.to/3WQLCL4">book</a> in which he pointed out that the essential known facts did not support the contagion theory of direct human-to-human contact.  Simpson also suggested that the trigger for the flu was connected to seasonal differences in solar radiation, and that it may have an electromagnetic nature, as many of his predecessors during the previous two centuries had proposed.</p><h3>An electric atmosphere</h3><p>A Danish physician named Johannes Mygge had also showed how flu pandemics tended to occur during years of maximum solar activity, and that the number of cases in Denmark would rise and fall with the number of sunspots.  Sunspots increase atmospheric voltage (electric potential) in our environment, and have recently been correlated to psychological changes as well.</p><p>Dr. Mygge had kept a careful diary of his health for nine months, and he later compared his records to those of the electrical potential of the atmosphere, which he recorded three times per day for ten years.  His incapacitating migraine-like headaches, along with bouts of insomnia, dizziness, irritability, buzzing sensations in his head, irregular heartbeat, and pressure in the chest, almost always fell on the day of, or before, a sudden severe rise or drop in atmospheric voltage.</p><p>In 2001, Canadian astronomer Ken Tapping, along with two other physicians out of British Colombia, were the latest to confirm that for at least the last three centuries influenza pandemics have been most likely to occur around the height of each eleven year solar cycle, when magnetic forces from the sun are at their peak.</p><p>Since at least 1799, there have been scientists linking influenza to sunspots and drastic changes in atmospheric voltage.   Historical research has also shown that during the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715), a time of extremely low solar activity and sunspots, no influenza outbreaks occurred. </p><div

your brain?  We often think of our heart as a pump, or the sun as a ball of gas.  Yet that pump needs a spark, and that spark comes from the ether of electricity running through us and to us from the cosmos.</p><p>In his 1985 book <em><a href="https://amzn.to/3JtUcfF">The Body Electric</a>, </em>orthopedic surgeon Dr. Robert Becker confirmed that our bodies operate on a DC (direct current) electric circuit, and all of our metabolic processes happen through exchange of electrons (-) and protons (+).  Medicine, as it turns out, is really more physics than chemistry, as electromagnetic forces act upon our crystalline structures of nerve and bone, exciting the molecules within us to affect a shift in the direction of growth, or one of inflammation.  Becker called these <em>currents of injury</em> and <em>currents of healing</em>.</p><p>Electrons are negatively charged and free radicals (typically cause inflammation) are positively charged.  Most free radicals encountered in our tissues are electrically neutralized or absorbed by these free electrons, which are &#8220;donated&#8221; to us from the atmosphere of Earth, from the sand and ground we walk upon, to the rain that falls down.  Electrons are what keep the processes in our bodies going.  When we have a surplus of electrons (-), we then donate electrons so that they can bond with other protons (+), in order to facilitate the necessary biological reactions within us.  </p><p>Our brains perceive electric signals from the environment in the form of visible, and non-visible light.  Before 1889 and the mass global adoption of electricity and the light bulb, the Earth would provide a steady amount of its own static electricity.  Each time lightning struck, our atmosphere would ring out at a rhythm of 8 pulses per second (8hz). <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Healing Sounds&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:397381259,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b3d89fc0-0d37-4a3d-b1da-70abd48e978e_1080x1080.jpeg&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;6eac6feb-477c-425b-8b79-f7d26497fec2&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> </p><p>Called the <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/i/98919678/our-brains-already-have-wifi">Schumann resonance</a>, this rhythm was named for the German physicist who predicted their existence.   These tones&#8217; frequencies primarily range from 8-32 beats per second (Hz), and literally keep all life on Earth beating in time.  Our brains&#8217; primary frequency of adult life operate at exactly this rhythm of 8 beats per second, and are called alpha waves.  </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

the masses.  As a result, Tesla&#8217;s AC (alternating, pulsed current) power system was deployed worldwide.  Remember that our bodies are meant to run on DC, primarily anywhere between 8-30hz.  Once AC power was deployed, and electric light poured over towns the world over, our biological rhythms had to account for this alien form of energy. Coincidentally the Russian Flu of 1889 ensued.</p><p>When the Age of radio began in 1918, a pandemic broke out.  The short-wave radio developed by Marconi operated at frequencies of about 30 megahertz (MHz), which is roughly 30,000,000 times faster than our brains&#8217; alpha wave frequencies.  These waves of radiation would bounce off and even puncture the Earth&#8217;s fragile ionosphere, bathing unsuspecting populations at random.</p><p>How should we expect our bodies to react to such a sudden, violent shift in electricity?  After all, we don&#8217;t just live on the Earth.  We live in the Earth.</p><p>Marconi, had 10 heart attacks, including the one that killed him at the age of 63. All of his heart attacks, including neurological diseases of depression and suicide, began as soon as he started experimenting with radio.

When the Russian Flu broke out in September, it was assumed to have come out of Siberia, and the view of the time was that this "mystery illness" proceeded in orderly fashion to infect the rest of the world.  However by the time the flu reached Moscow in October, illness was already being reported in South Africa and Scotland.  Canada and Jamaica were reporting epidemics in November.  East Central Africa was also struck the same time as Russia.   The flu had never appeared in this part of Africa ever before.</p><p>Like the 1889 flu, many assumed the Spanish flu of 1918 was infectious.  However masks, quarantines, and isolation were all without effect. Even in isolated Iceland the flu spread universally, in spite of the quarantining of its victims.</p><p>I will concede that this may not be proof, but only evidence.  However the proof that the contagion theory of pandemics is false is illustrated by experiments conducted in 1918 and 1919 by a medical team working for the US Public Health Service in Boston, which failed miserably:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We collected the mucous secretions of the mouth, nose, throat, and bronchi from cases of the disease and transferred this to our volunteers.  We obtain some bronchial mucus through coughing, and then we swab the mucous surface of the nostrils and the throat&#8230;Each one of the volunteers&#8230;received 6 c.c. of the mixed stuff that I have described.  They received it into each nostril, received it in the throat, and on the eye&#8230;None of them took sick.&#8221;</em></p><p>(Firstenberg. <em>The Invisible Rainbow, </em>pp. 107-108)</p></blockquote><p>When this experiment didn&#8217;t work, the researchers injected the healthy volunteers with the mucous, then the blood, of sick patients. </p><p>&#8220;None of these took sick in any way.&#8221;  Dr. Milton Rosenau concluded:  &#8220;if we have learned anything, it is that we are not quite sure what we know about the disease.&#8221;</p><h4>Correlation does not imply causation</h4><p>The confusion began in earnest when influenza A virus in ferrets was isolated in 1933.   Since that time,human influenza has been defined as the organism behind its contagion, rather than its symptoms.  If you get struck down with flu, and have the same symptoms as everyone else, but a virus can&#8217;t be isolated from your throat and you don&#8217;t develop antibodies, you are said not to have influenza.  </p><p>Although these viruses have been correlated with disease epidemics, they have never been shown to cause them.  Could it be that the viral strain was only a potential effect of the body&#8217;s immune response, and not a cause of the illness itself?  </p><p>Today&#8217;s pandemics present even more confusion, as we have an &#8220;effect&#8221; of some people testing positive for a virus that was not isolated. You can verify this for yourself on page 42 of the attached CDC document, linked <a href="https://www.fda.gov/media/134922/download">here</a>.</p><p>I thank <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Jon Rappoport&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:84497014,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b1df509f-a03b-462f-83d0-b126c83d6bea_262x252.png&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;3ba6747e-1c1e-4523-908a-ac1f0596b133&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> for opening my eyes to this fact.</p><p>What then, was the trigger?</p><p>What <em>always</em> preceded outbreaks of influenza?</p><h4>Why did so many young people die in 1889 and 1918?</h4><p>If the flu was caused through infection of a contagious organism, then one would suspect the very young and old to die before those with robust immune systems.  However both of these pandemics killed young people in the prime of their lives. Two-thirds of deaths from the Spanish Flu were between eighteen and forty.</p><p>Some researchers believe that the Spanish Flu of 1918 specifically killed young adults since they were exposed to the H3N8 viral strain of 1889, and their immune systems responded to the 1889 strain vs the new strain in 1918. However there are a couple problems with this viewpoint.  Scientists still aren&#8217;t sure if H3N8 caused the Russian Flu of 1889.  As in 1918, young people also died at greater numbers in 1889 compared to those typically at higher risk from infectious disease, namely elders and infants.</p><p>The Spanish flu appeared to have originated in the US in early 1918, spreading around the world on Navy ships.  Then in September the epidemic struck the entire world, seemingly all at once.  What puzzled doctors of the time the most was the massive amount of bleeding.  About forty percent of flu patients in the Navy suffered from nosebleeds, others bled from their ears, skin, stomach, kidneys, uterus, brain, and lungs.  Victims would often drown in their own blood.  Even as far back as 1799, scientists such as Gerhard showed how radiowaves could have this effect on the blood.</p><p></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://romanshapoval.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p></p><p>When it entered World War I in 1917, the US military deployed radio for the first time on a massive, global scale.  By early 1918, the Navy was operating the world&#8217;s largest radio network, graduating over four hundred students per week from its radio operating courses.  </p><p>One of the most powerful radio stations on Earth at that time was located in New Brunswick, New Jersey.  A beekeeper close to that town, who was operating over 300 colonies, reported that "thousands of dead (bees) were lying and thousands were crawling about the vicinity of the hive...practically all adult workers about the age when they would normally do the first field work.  No abnormal condition within the hive was noticed  at this time."</p><p>Like the bees who were in the prime of their life, 1918 took those of us who were the most vital.  This relates to the rule of electrical and chemical sensitivity, which is often misunderstood as a weakness.  When certain food, smells, or frequencies affect us more that others, this is often a sign that our body&#8217;s receptors are working efficiently.  A young person is similar to a finely-tuned musical instrument.  If a loose string (a less fit person) is plucked, the chances of this string snapping are minimal.  If a tightly-wound string (a vital person) is plucked too hard, this string will feel it more and may snap, experiencing an acute immune reaction as a result.</p><div

not to fight infection, but to stop the excessive bleeding.  </p><p>In the 1970s, the US government contracted Dr. Glaser to organize the world scientific literature on reported biological and health effects of radio frequency and microwave radiation.  Radiowaves were shown to push necessary calcium out of tissues (calcium efflux), even leading to leakage of our blood-brain barrier.

Most adults experience a different type of head trauma as they persistently irradiate their eyes, brain, and thyroid with the cell phones.  Our central nervous system is consistently in close proximity to this form of biologically-damaging frequency.  </p><p>If you google <em>&#8220;is non-ionizing radiation harmful?&#8221;,</em> you&#8217;ll get a reply saying that cell phones are generally regarded as safe.  However this statement is based on acute exposure, and the heating of skin tissue (thermal government safety limits), not on chronic exposure to biological effects.  As far back as 1960, neuroscientist Allan Frey, then with Cornell University&#8217;s General Electric Advanced Electronics Center,  showed that even weak electromagnetic fields can open up the blood-brain barrier. <a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a> <a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a></p><p>How could this trauma then go on to cause ALS?</p><h4>Our electrical immune system</h4><p>Low levels of EMF release large amounts of MCP-1, a key protein that acts like a &#8220;traffic cop&#8221; (thank you <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Jack Kruse&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:27123737,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/54b9eb51-1a76-4043-89ff-6fcd36820ac8_1182x1010.png&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;4698c7b1-6fbd-4684-8b99-d1fa30ae53c5&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> for that analogy) for our immune system, controlling how many white blood cells will be able to cross the road, so that we can combat inflammation.

a cell phone capable of doing this?</p><h3>Voltage controls our mitochondria </h3><p>If you&#8217;ve ever gotten an electroencephalogram (EEG), you know that our brain&#8217;s health can be assessed by measuring miniscule electrical signals.  Our motor neurons, which are impaired in ALS, have more mitochondria than our sensory neurons.  Our mitochondria are our bodies&#8217; factories of life, and produce the energy molecule ATP, which also helps stabilize proteins.  Think of it this way:  If you pour corn oil into your car&#8217;s fuel tank rather than use corn ethanol, you&#8217;d have an unstable protein and fuel source.  What would cause our mitochondria to not be able to produce enough ATP?  </p><p>It turns out that our mitochondria are also controlled by voltage<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a> e.g. EMF.   Our mitochondria contain what are known as voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC).  When exposed to EMF, VDACs reduce the ATP available for our nervous system to use. </p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

However, the amount of calcium our mitochondria need can also be altered when EMFs can disrupt our voltage-gated calcium channels.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-8" href="#footnote-8" target="_self">8</a>  </p><p>For more info on the relationship between calcium and EMF, check out this guest post by <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;The Minerals Professor&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:162407592,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F912c86f8-231c-45c3-927a-00dd12d46e9f_232x232.png&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;4da83deb-c35e-44e7-b9e5-856b5d05a059&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span>: </p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;20214d6d-3cb5-42c6-82ca-915a52071e48&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Does this sound like you?&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:&quot;Read full story&quot;,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;showDescription&quot;:true,&quot;showImage&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;EMF Sensitive?

No matter what type of damage we may do to our bodies during the day, we always have a chance to repair at night.  While some of you may think of yourselves as night owls, ultimately we&#8217;re all a diurnal species.  The rhythms of health follow the frequency of light and dark.</p><p>Even though many of us don&#8217;t have the necessary healing architecture of a sleep sanctuary free of artificial EMF, we can still drastically improve our ability to repair by removing artificial light at night.  We&#8217;ll recap some basic tactics we can all employ toward the end of the article.</p><p>First - how can a modern light environment alter one&#8217;s outcome with ALS?</p><h4>What we do reverberates in eternity</h4><p>Rev-erb&#945;, is a nuclear transcription factor that is part of our molecular clock, which encodes circadian rhythms.  Put another way, Rev-erb&#945; translates what our DNA ultimately tells our bodies&#8217; nervous, immune, and hormonal systems on how to function by expressing certain genes.</p><p>How can express our genes to optimize our health?</p><p>By syncing their &#8220;notes&#8221; to the melodies of visible sunlight while tuning out discordant invisible light.  When expressed correctly, Rev-erb&#945; can effectively regulate inflammatory and immune responses through <em>apoptosis</em>, which destroys cells our bodies no longer need.</p><div class="pullquote"><p>&#8220;Circadian disruption in the anterior motor neurons causes a paralysis like effect that we normally see in REM sleep. In ALS, the circadian disruption shows up when we&#8217;re awake and it has gone unrecognized as a completely disrupted rhythm disorder.&#8221; </p><p> ~ Jack Kruse</p></div><p>When out of alignment with the natural variability of our light environment, processes like apoptosis run amuck, killing healthy cells and leading to the atrophy of motor neurons as well as a loss of communication to other brain cells called astrocytes.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-9" href="#footnote-9" target="_self">9</a></p><h4>The Glial Glue of our Neuroimmune System</h4><p>Astrocytes<strong> </strong>make up the majority of cells in the human central nervous system (CNS), and perform metabolic, structural, homeostatic, and neuroprotective tasks such as clearing excess neurotransmitters, stabilizing and regulating the blood-brain barrier, and promoting synapse formation.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-10" href="#footnote-10" target="_self">10</a></p><p>Microglia are our brain&#8217;s protectors, and facilitate communication of immune cells across our blood-brain barrier so that they can clean up toxins.  For example, microglia remove neurons that don&#8217;t communicate properly, thus ensuring that information transfer between neurons isn&#8217;t interrupted.  These also help clean up clumps of abnormally shaped proteins that accumulate and are associated with neurodegenerative diseases.</p><p>Rev-erb&#945; acts like the referee of our brain&#8217;s immune system, by regulating how many microglia become activated when we have any type of neuroinflammation between the CNS and our gut.  </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

investigating the reckless use of statins and the false narrative of cholesterol.  Dr. Kendrick made the following point regarding the statin-ALS statistics, which I find notable:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;It is often said that association does not mean causation. However, this is only true up to a point. Most statisticians agree that an odds ratio &gt; 6 represents proof of causation.  When you find that people taking atorvastatin have a <strong>seventeen-fold </strong>increase<strong> </strong>in risk of ALS, this is proof of causation. The effect is too massive to be due to anything else.&#8221;</em></p><p>~ Dr. Malcolm Kendrick</p></blockquote><h4>Where do we go from here?</h4><p>Just as we tear muscle down in the gym during the day, and build it up as we relax and repair, we also can&#8217;t get stronger or more resilient to environmental stress by guzzling vitamins or pushing harder.  The fastest way to recover is during sleep. </p><p>While many of you who have been with us for a while are aware of EMF mitigation tactics, here&#8217;s a recap of some very basic steps most of us can take to begin building a regeneration room at night:</p><p>&#10004;&#65039;  Remove electronics that contain blue light</p><p>&#10004;&#65039;  Buy translucent red tape and stick over electronics like smoke detectors</p><p>&#10004;&#65039;  Install blackout blinds</p><p>&#10004;&#65039;  Turn off Wi-Fi at night</p><p>&#10004;&#65039;  Turn off power at night</p><p>During the waking hours, there are daytime mitigation technologies that can assist with EMF reduction like filters, along with &#8220;neutralizers&#8221; that often don&#8217;t work.  We&#8217;ll be writing about some of those devices in the near future.</p><p>Until then&#8230;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

from foreign invaders by preventing their entry. Some small invaders can pass through, but the immune cells that fight them in the rest of the body cannot. Instead, microglia act as the immune cells of the brain. Inactive microglia (in yellow) survey the environment. When they detect invaders, they become activated (in orange) and change their shape by flattening and shortening their arms so that they can clean up the invaders. </figcaption></figure></div><p>Our blood-brain barrier (BBB) is not easily crossed, however is made more permeable by EMFs (electromagnetic fields) such as Wi-Fi and other sources.

When wireless radiation is reduced, this allows our bodies to detoxify heavy metals at a faster rate than with wireless EMF present.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-20" href="#footnote-20" target="_self">20</a></p><p>A pilot study conducted by Klinghardt in Seattle (a Big Tech hub), found that EMF &#8220;may be the undiscovered key contributing - if not causative - factor in neurological impairments in children, including autism.&#8221;</p><p>We need to get back to the basics first, so that we can create a sleep sanctuary that is free of EMF.  There are many ways we can do this, but at the very least we can begin by shutting off power to our bedroom.  </p><p>One particular reason to avoid RF (radiofrequency) radiation exposure during pregnancy is that an embryo or fetus may not be fully protected by amniotic fluid for extended periods of time due to the natural movement of the embryo or fetus within the womb.  </p><p>Secondly, the pelvic structure promotes deep RF radiation penetration and that radiation can be absorbed within the developing embryo or fetus.  Do not keep your phone on your lap.  </p><p>Consider this:  if you need to have a phone to stay in touch, or you need it to work &#8220;for a living&#8221;, ask yourself how much it&#8217;s contributing to your actual &#8220;living&#8221;?

Getty Images</figcaption></figure></div><p>There is no known cause, and no known cure.   The first cases of MS began to be studied in earnest in 1868.  Before 1960, MS was virtually unknown in Japan.</p><p>What happened after 1868, and what can we learn from Japan?</p><p>The diet of the Japanese is rich in seafood, which contains high amounts of <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/babybrains">DHA</a>. DHA is an ancient fatty acid that converts the light from our environment into electrical impulses that our nervous system then uses to repair, and run our brains&#8217; daily operating system.  We can think of DHA as our solar polar inverter.  An inverter takes one form of energy, and converts it to electricity that can be used by the system.</p><p>If our brains can change how they operate based on signals from our environment, what hardware runs the software of our brain?  </p><h3>The Gateway of our Sol</h3><p>Our retina contains high levels of DHA, and decodes the software program of light, which runs on the hard drive of the Sun.  The Sun carries unlimited memory for our potential growth, as its infinite wavelengths dictate our health&#8217;s future.  </p><p>The hard drives of all quantum supercomputers run on water - and our brain is no different.  Our mitochondria, the engines of our cells, run most efficiently on water that is charged with light, in the infrared range.  How does this all work?</p><p>The water within us is energized by what Einstein discovered as the <em>photoelectric effect</em>:  Our Sun splits the water in our cells from its molecular composition of H2O into (2) hydrogen + 2 electrons + oxygen.  We then use these electrons, along with the water that has been charged by the Sun&#8217;s electric force, to provide energy to our nervous system.  In essence, our cells have a hydrogen fuel cell within them that uses the electricity of the Sun to create energy we can use.</p><p>Let&#8217;s zoom out and take a look at The Big Picture.  The Sun sustains all life with its electromagnetic field, which comes down to Earth in the form of plasma that we perceive as light.  The plasma of our blood, which is mostly water, uses the electromagnetic force of solar plasma.  Proteins within our blood plasma regulate gene expression and the immune system.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a>  </p><p>The Sun charges the Earth like a battery, and helps our planet maintain its protective magnetosphere.  If we didn&#8217;t have a Sun, we wouldn&#8217;t have a magnetic field.  This is why when we aren&#8217;t grounded to the Earth*, our red blood cells lose electrical charge, which can thicken our blood leaving us predisposed to blood clots.  <em> </em></p><p><em>*Depending on where you live - you may have <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/leukemia">ground current EMF </a>running through your home or yard, which makes the practice of grounding do more harm than good.)</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

There is a direct connection between bone and the DC electric current in the brain. &nbsp;Soft bone is behind the magic of the <em>tibial compression test</em>. When our Vitamin D3 levels are normal, &nbsp;and our bodies&#8217; DC current stable, tibial compression causes no pain normally. &nbsp;</p><div class="pullquote"><p>&#8220;Since the tibia has no soft tissue over it, when I press on it with my reflex hammer, and it hurts you, I know something is importantly disturbed in your environment.&#8221;</p><p>~ Dr. Jack Kruse</p></div><h2>Why are my vitamin D levels low?</h2><p>If you have MS, chances are your vitamin D levels are low.   Artificial blue light lowers oxygen in the retina by lowering the amount of DHA in the eye.  Anytime we have less DHA, our thyroid can no longer make the necessary hormones for growth.  DHA, an omega 3 fatty acid, helps us have enough cholesterol so that we can then make pregnenolone, which in turn lets us make vitamin D.  Blue light steals pregnenolone, and switches hormonal production to cortisol.</p><p>A multitude of epidemiological studies have revealed that individuals with low levels of vitamin D in their blood are at considerably increased risk for developing MS.  Up to 90% of MS patients are deficient in vitamin D.</p><p>A recent study has quantified the impact of vitamin D blood levels on risk for MS relapse.  A 50-nmol/L (20-ng/mL) increment in average serum Vitamin D levels within the first 12 months predicted a 57% lower rate of new active lesions.  Researchers found that for &#8220;each 10 nmol/l increase in 25-OH-D results in up to a 12% reduction in risk of relapse. Clinically, raising 25-OH-D levels by 50 nmol/l could halve the hazard of a relapse.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a></p><h4>Our latitude determines our healthy aptitude </h4><p>The areas of the world that have the lowest rates of MS live closer to the equator, where the magnetic field is stronger, and light more abundant.  The highest rates of MS occur in northern climates.  Canada continues to have one of the highest rates of MS in the world &#8211; with over 90,000 people living with MS - 1 in every 400 individuals.

Although the inhabitants are Nordic and considered a high-risk group for the disease, there were no known reports of MS prior to 1943 among native-born residents. In the early 1960s a Washington D.C. neurologist, Dr. John Kurtzke, became intrigued with a report by a Danish investigator, K. Hyllested, who recorded about twenty-five cases of MS in the Faroes that had started occuring in 1943. It appeared that the disease had been brought into the Faroes since it hadn&#8217;t been reported there before.</p><p>The most significant event that had taken place on the Faroes was the British occupation during World War II.  During this time, the British military imported artificial light and wireless technology in the form of the radio and radar.</p><h4>Can leafy greens make us glow?</h4><p>Terry Wahls has had much success with patients by introducing a &#8220;heavy leafy green diet protocol.&#8221;  Green leafy veggies are loaded with nitrogen.&nbsp; These foods can restore the nitrogen substrate in the skin to be converted to nitric oxide, which helps us synthesize vitamin D.  Patients with MS have low levels of nitric oxide in their skin, which we need in order to absorb vitamin D in the presence of UV sunlight.   </p><p>&#128073;  There are four things we need to be aware of when considering a new diet:</p><p>1&#65039;&#8419;  Light is the primary food our bodies consume, as <strong>two-thirds</strong> of our mitochondrial energy requirement comes from light, and only one-third from food.   </p><p>2&#65039;&#8419;  An ancestral approach of seafood rich in DHA gives us electric nutrition.</p><p>3&#65039;&#8419;  Our digestion runs on a clock that is our circadian rhythm.  This rhythm is played by magnetic melodies that ensue with an orchestra of light at sunrise.</p><p>4&#65039;&#8419; Some vegetables may contain high levels of oxalates, which form crystals in our tissues, potentially making us more susceptible to electromagnetic radiation.

the dawn of electricity</h4><p>If you lived in 1850, you were as likely to have died from a heart attack as you were from accidentally drowning.&nbsp;&nbsp; Heart disease was the 25th cause of death in the US.  Heart disease affected mainly older populations in rural areas, as farmers enjoyed longer lives than city-dwellers in those days.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a></p><p>Today the story has changed. Heart disease is one of the top killers of young people.   If you&#8217;re in your forties and live in the US, you have as great a chance of having heart disease today as a seventy-year-old in 1970.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a></p><p>Mortality from heart disease for Americans in their twenties rose by an astonishing one-third between 1999 and 2006.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a></p><p>How did we get to be so sick?</p><p>Weren&#8217;t statins and the low-fat diet supposed to help?</p><h4>The Cholesterol Myth</h4><p>Myths aren&#8217;t always outright lies, but are often the stories we tell ourselves as a society.   Even though there are kernels of truth in these stories, a half-truth always leads to a full lie.</p><p>Much of the cholesterol myth originates with the work of Ancel Keys, an American physiology professor who went to Europe in search of the root of heart disease.</p><p>Keys went to Italy right after World War II, when much of the European population was under tremendous environmental stress.  He noticed that residents of Naples dined primarily on pasta, cheese, while a small class of rich people ate mostly meat. </p><p>He compiled data from six countries with high rates of heart disease and diets high in saturated fats.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a> This led Keys to deduce that avoiding meat resulted in a lower probability of heart attacks, and he ignored the prevalance of cheese (a saturated fat).</p><p>Keys noticed that men in America, who ate a diet high in saturated fat, died from cardiovascular disease at a much higher rate than men in Japan, who ate very little saturated fat.</p><p>However these half-truths skewed the evidence.  The Japanese ate far less sugar and processed foods than Americans, and ate considerably less food in general.  Keys also didn&#8217;t include France in his study, who consumed a very high amount of saturated fat but had a low amount of cardiovascular deaths.  Instead Keys would go on to name this statisical outlier &#8220;the French Paradox.&#8221;</p><p>In the 1960s, the American medical community began to advise people to stop consuming the butter and lard they&#8217;d been eating for centuries, and turning the population onto bread, pasta, margarine, along with vegetable oil, which is often highly-processed and can turn rancid, since it&#8217;s not stable at room temperature.</p><p>Danish physician Uffe Ravnskov sheds light on this controversy in his book <a href="http://www.ravnskov.nu/cholesterol/">The Cholesterol Myth</a> (2000).  Dr. Ravnskov shows how people are not having more heart attacks today because they&#8217;re eating more animal fats than our ancestors.  </p><h4>Cholesterol:  a distraction from EMF pollution</h4><p>Cholesterol turns out to be a red herring.  The earlier studies Ravnskov cites (completed before 1950) show that cholesterol was not related to heart disease.  In many cases, having higher levels of cholesterol pre-1950 meant you&#8217;d probably live longer than the rest of the population.  </p><p>Many studies conducted after 1950 (after the global introduction of radar in World War 2) began to show<strong> just the opposite</strong>, and have correlated higher levels of cholesterol with an increased risk of death from heart attacks.   This could be due to the fact that EMFs disrupt our ability to metabolize fat.</p><p>The Framingham Heart Study<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a>  came out in 1961, the same year that the American Heart Association (AHA) issued a report telling people with a high risk of heart disease to cut down on saturated fat.</p><p>(Note: Proctor &amp; Gamble, the makers of Crisco, a substitute for lard, donated 1.7 million to the AHA in 1948, the same year the AHA became a prominent organization in US politics.)<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6" href="#footnote-6" target="_self">6</a></p><h4>Do statins help prevent heart disease?</h4><p>The modern&nbsp;cholesterol-lowering drugs, the statins, do help prevent cardiovascular disease, but the effect is extremely small. Unfortunately, statins disrupt and lower growth hormone and testosterone.  As a result statins can also stimulate cancer, disturb muscle function, affect the heart and the brain, and pregnant women taking them may give birth to children with malformations.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a></p><p>You can find a <a href="https://cardiacos.net/wp-content/uploads/ArticulosMedicos/20180920/2015-How-statistical-deception-created-the-appearance-that-statins-are-safe-an-deffective-in-primary-and-secondary-prevention-of-cardiovascular-disease.pdf">copy of the study</a> linking to the above-mentioned effects of taking statins, and how these side effects are misleadingly reported in the Adverse Events System of the FDA <a href="https://cardiacos.net/wp-content/uploads/ArticulosMedicos/20180920/2015-How-statistical-deception-created-the-appearance-that-statins-are-safe-an-deffective-in-primary-and-secondary-prevention-of-cardiovascular-disease.pdf">here</a>.</p><p>From Dr. Ravnskov&#8217;s book of studies <a href="http://www.ravnskov.nu/cholesterol/">The Cholesterol Myth</a> :</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;In a review of 37 statin trials, the benefit is miniscule. In a few of the experiments, cardiovascular or total mortality was even highest in the treatment groups, although not with statistical significance.</p><p>To &#8220;improve&#8221; the results from the statin trials, the authors have even misused statistics. If two patients die in a control group of 100 individuals, but only one in the treatment group, the benefit is of course only one percent. No, no, the the statin supporters may say, the benefit is 50%, because one is 50% of two.&#8221;</p></blockquote><h4>Heart attacks in zoo animals?</h4><p>A study of over 13,000 autopsies of animals that had died at the Philadelphia zoo recorded the first heart attacks of zoo animals in 1955.  </p><p>In 1945, heart disease did not exist in the zoo.  </p><p>By 1963, over 90% of all mammals and 72% of all birds that died in the zoo had heart disease.  The diet of the animals had remained the same between 1935-1964.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-8" href="#footnote-8" target="_self">8</a></p><p>What was <strong>the pivotal global event </strong>that occurred in the mid 1900s, the point at which studies on cholesterol began to differ from one another?</p><h4>World War II&#8217;s silent atomic weapon </h4><p>Even though the war officially ended with the dropping of a nuclear bomb, this was only the start of the global radiation to come. </p><p>As World War II began, hundreds of thousands of people were now being subject to radiofrequency (RF) radiation.   The entire population, and not just the military, were being exposed at unprecendented levels of RF radiation.  The war had spawned a plethora of new industries that were using radiowaves in television and radio broadcasting, heating, navigation, as well as &#8220;radar ranges&#8221; for the home.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BDic!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff96beb4b-7963-4688-b9e5-8d4f9076854b_359x496.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BDic!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff96beb4b-7963-4688-b9e5-8d4f9076854b_359x496.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BDic!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff96beb4b-7963-4688-b9e5-8d4f9076854b_359x496.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BDic!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff96beb4b-7963-4688-b9e5-8d4f9076854b_359x496.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BDic!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff96beb4b-7963-4688-b9e5-8d4f9076854b_359x496.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BDic!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff96beb4b-7963-4688-b9e5-8d4f9076854b_359x496.jpeg" width="413" height="570.6072423398329" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f96beb4b-7963-4688-b9e5-8d4f9076854b_359x496.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:496,&quot;width&quot;:359,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:413,&quot;bytes&quot;:22069,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BDic!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff96beb4b-7963-4688-b9e5-8d4f9076854b_359x496.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BDic!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff96beb4b-7963-4688-b9e5-8d4f9076854b_359x496.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BDic!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff96beb4b-7963-4688-b9e5-8d4f9076854b_359x496.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BDic!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff96beb4b-7963-4688-b9e5-8d4f9076854b_359x496.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">The first microwave:  the &#8220;radarange&#8221;

Patients were asked to run on a treadmill for three minutes, and could only run for a minute and a half.   Their heart rate after walking a treadmill for fifteen minutes was found to be excessively fast, and their oxygen consumption during exercise was abnormally low.  They were found to use less oxygen than a normal person, even when they breathed the same amount of air.</p><p>The researchers concluded that the patients had suffered from a defect of metabolism.  The engines of our metabolism are our mitochondria, and require sufficient levels of oxygen to function.</p><h4>Soviet research on &#8220;soldier&#8217;s heart&#8221; agrees</h4><p>The Soviets performed research in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s that was in agreement with Cohen&#8217;s team, and concluded the symptoms of heart disease stemmed from a <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/how-diabetes-is-an-electrical-illness">defect in metabolism</a>.  Working in Kiev and Kharkov (modern day Ukraine), Dumanskiy, Shandala, Kolodub, and Kiselev proved that the activity of the electron transport chain- the mitochondrial enzymes that extract energy from our food- is diminished in animals that are exposed to radio waves and magnetic fields from ordinary electric power lines.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-10" href="#footnote-10" target="_self">10</a></p><p>Ultimately what the work of Dr. Cohen and Soviet researchers proved was that the &#8220;soldier&#8217;s heart&#8221;, often described as lacking oxygen, came to be not due to a deficiency in the lungs, but in the cells.  Blocked arteries were not the cause of these soldiers&#8217; hearts craving and gulping air.  </p><p>Their cells could not efficiently use the air they were breathing.   The misuse of oxygen then led the mitochondria, the engines of our metabolism, to struggle in breaking down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Unburned fats, together with the cholesterol that transported those fats in the blood, were being deposited on the walls of arteries.  Humans and animals were not able to push their hearts quite as far as before without showing signs of stress and disease.  This takes its clearest toll on the body when it is pushed to its limits, in athletes and in soldiers during war.&#8221;</p><p>-Arthur Firstenberg, <a href="https://amzn.to/3D5MLHm">The Invisible Rainbow</a></p></blockquote><h4>Did cholesterol lead to heart disease?</h4><p>Yes, but only due to the fact that cholesterol itself could no longer be metabolized in these patients.  Otherwise, having high levels of cholesterol before the 1950s were shown to extend life, rather than lead to an early death.</p><h4>Do Farmers get more heart attacks?</h4><p>In the 1940s, the Roosevelt administration made it a national priority to electrify all rural communities in the US.  </p><p>In the beginning of the article I mentioned how heart disease mainly affected older populations in rural areas.   In the mid 1800s, heart disease ranked as the 25th cause of death in the US.</p><p>Studies conducted by epidemiologists such as <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/i/133259607/what-can-we-do-about-dirty-electricity">Samuel Milham</a>, M.D., revealed that during the 1940s, not only cancer, diabetes, but heart disease was directly related to residential electrification.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-11" href="#footnote-11" target="_self">11</a>   Rural communities had very little heart disease until they were subject to this electrification.  </p><p>In 1940 people in the country began to suddenly die from heart disease at five times the rate as those who lived away from electricity.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-12" href="#footnote-12" target="_self">12</a>  The graph below shows that the amount of rural heart disease was in direct proportion to the number of electrified rural homes in those states.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

Calcium is responsible for muscle contraction, nerve function, cel growth, learning, memory, and blood clotting.</p><p>Professor emeritus of biochemistry and preeminent EMF researcher Martin Pall has proposed yet another pathway of EMF damage: voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs).  Calcium is far more concentrated outside our cells than inside, and these electrical gates (VGCCs) tightly govern how much calcium our organs receive.  If this highly regulated system is disrupted, chaos for our body ensues through the formation of reactive oxygen species (the opposite of antioxidants).</p><div

isn&#8217;t a pump, it&#8217;s a sparkplug</h4><p>In 2013, Pall reviewed 26 studies on calcium and concluded that EMFs activated these VGCCs after about five seconds, flooding the inside of the cell with an unhealthy amount of calcium ions at a rate of about one million per second.</p><p>Our heart has one of the largest densities of VGCCs, and is highly sensitive to EMFs for this reason.  Dr. Pall believes that the increasing rates of sudden cardiac death could be due to the rising exposure to EMFs, resulting in excessive activation of VGCCs.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-14" href="#footnote-14" target="_self">14</a></p><p>Synthetic electromagnetic radiation can trigger the following cardiac conditions:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Cardiac arrhythmia (</strong>irregular heartbeat) - responsible for half of all deaths from heart disease each year.</p></li><li><p><strong>Blood pressure</strong> - <em>The Lancet </em>published a 1998 study that found using a cell phone can lead to a 5-10 milligram Hg (mercury) rise in blood pressure.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-15" href="#footnote-15" target="_self">15</a>  In 2013 Italian researchers presented their data at the annual conference of the American Society of Hypertension, that answering and talking on a cell phone raised blood pressure in patients with an average age of 53 by an average 5-7 milligrams Hg.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-16" href="#footnote-16" target="_self">16</a></p></li></ul><div class="poll-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;id&quot;:95385}" data-component-name="PollToDOM"></div><h4>What are some natural strategies we can take to normalize blood pressure?</h4><ol><li><p><strong>Magnesium</strong> - I don&#8217;t buy many supplements, but this is one that I take daily (600mg of elemental magnesium).

In contrast, in most pathophysiological contexts, nitric oxide reacts with superoxide to form peroxynitrite, a potent non-radical oxidant, which can produce radical* products, including hydroxyl radical and NO2 radical.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p><em>*Note:  free radicals create oxidative stress and chronic inflammation if left unchecked.</em></p><p>In the 2016 paper <em>&#8220;Microwave frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) produce widespread neuropsychiatric effects including depression&#8221;</em><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a> Pall mentions:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;EMFs have been proposed to act to produce a wide variety of responses in the cell, via downstream effects of VGCC activation, including elevated intracellular calcium [Ca2+]i, excessive calcium and nitric oxide signaling and also excessive peroxynitrite, free radicals and oxidative stress.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>In the 2022 paper: &#8220;<em>Low Intensity Electromagnetic Fields Act via Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel (VGCC) Activation to Cause Very Early Onset Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease: 18 Distinct Types of Evidence</em>&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a> , Pall observes:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Increased intracellular calcium [Ca2+] i may be both central and essential to the causation of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease (AD) and that increased [Ca2+] in the cells of the brain produces elevated levels of the amyloid-beta (A&#946;) protein whose protein aggregates have specific and essential roles in causing AD.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Let me break it down for

Until you do so, and it&#8217;ll continue to rob calcium from the bones to support the serum calcium level.</p><p>If the body is not repleted of calcium, PTH stays high &amp; the serum calcium rises, this opens up the floodgates for calcium to flow into the cells through VGCCs.</p><p>And voila, the floodgates of intracellular calcium acts on the Ca2+/calmodulin dependent nitric oxide synthases then reacts with superoxide to form peroxynitrite then comes the formation of free radicals, and lo &amp; behold EMF induced illness.</p><p>Easier said than done, but reversing the genesis of EMF illness could have been drastically reduced by not neglecting calcium.</p><p>However in spite of all that I said here, <strong>never ever ever</strong> treat a calcium deficiency in isolation.<a

= No Bueno.</h3><p>Blocking calcium channel activity does not address the fact that the body is overcompensating the serum calcium level due to not repleting the calcium.</p><p>Blocking calcium channel activity does not address the excessive parathyroid hormone signaling which limits calcium excretion from the kidneys.</p><p>Blocking calcium channel activity limits depolarization of the nervous system. <a href="https://vitalitymaximized.substack.com/p/6d7b3426-d790-4352-b22d-9591a8741d33#footnote-4-165289572">4</a> Depolarization of the nervous system is key for functions like our heart rhythm, reflexes, neurotransmitter release (like endocannabinoids), neuroplasticity, memory formation, blood pressure &amp; regulation of vascular tone.</p><p>Blocking calcium channel activity limits our ability to respond to stressors.</p><p>Magnesium is an incredible nutrient and an amazing electrolyte.  But when we take too much magnesium because we think we&#8217;re deficient, or our soils are too low in magnesium, or believe it&#8217;s our ticket to remedy anxiety (or depression), we don&#8217;t just inhibit calcium channel activity.  We also inhibit depolarization of the nervous system and disrupt a complex interconnected mineral-vitamin-hormone-glandular web that governs how our bodies function.</p><p>One way that taking magnesium based on a perceived deficiency affects this interconnected web is to lower our tissue sodium levels, which relates to mineralcorticoid (balance salt and water in our body) function.</p><p>Lowering the tissue sodium levels further depresses adrenal glandular activity &amp; reduces our resilience against the onslaught of EMF.</p><p>I&#8217;d argue that those of us who are the most electrosensitive typically have a low sodium level on a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA).</p><p>Those with a low sodium level can have symptoms of chronic fatigue, anxiety, headaches, depression, memory loss &amp; dizziness.</p><p>Just a kind reminder:  I never said to avoid magnesium supplementation.</p><p>I&#8217;m saying don&#8217;t scientifically guesstimate when it comes to the complex balance of nutritional supplementation.</p><div><hr></div><h3>More EMF Sensitive = More Heavy Metal Toxic?</h3><p>Research on heavy metal-induced electrosensitivity is few &amp; far between, and a bit generic, and discusses:</p><ul><li><p>inducing oxidative stress &amp; promoting free radical damage</p></li><li><p>heavy metals acting as micro-antennas, which is similar to the effects of EMF.</p></li><li><p>combining with EMF and amplifying the toxic effects</p></li></ul><p>There are two heavy metals that specifically increase our risk of being electrosensitive:  aluminium &amp; mercury. </p><p>Let&#8217;s explore why.</p><h4>Why Aluminium?  Well, aluminum:</h4><p>&#10004;&#65039; is a calcium antagonist (impedes normal function) in various enzymes.</p><p>&#10004;&#65039; has an affinity for the skeletal system, the kidneys, the brain, lungs &amp; the liver</p><p>&#10004;&#65039; has a similar <strong>atomic size </strong>to calcium. They are next to each other horizontally on the periodic table. For an element to fit into an enzyme at its binding site, it needs to have the right charge (valence) and/or the right ionic radii (radius).</p><p>&#10004;&#65039; increases intracellular calcium levels. A 1996 study by Gill et al<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-8" href="#footnote-8" target="_self">8</a> found that aluminium treatment not only increased intracellular calcium levels but increased levels of lipid peroxidation, decreased fluidity of synaptic plasma membranes, and inhibited the effects of depolarization-induced calcium uptake. These are similar mechanisms to the effects of EMF radiation.</p><p>&#10004;&#65039; exposure is ubiquitous. Almost everyone has high tissue levels of aluminium on a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis.  Cheers Bill Gates!</p><p>&#10004;&#65039; toxicity can manifest in autism, chronic fatigue, brain fog, attention deficit &amp; Alzheimer&#8217;s. It&#8217;s called the &#8220;soft-in-the-head&#8221; metal for a reason.</p><h4>Why Mercury?  Well, mercury:</h4><p>&#10004;&#65039; is a calcium and magnesium antagonist.</p><p>&#10004;&#65039; Mercury has an affinity for the central &amp; peripheral nervous system, the kidneys, thyroid gland &amp; reproductive organs.</p><p>&#10004;&#65039;  Mercury has a similar <strong>charge</strong> to calcium (+2) and can displace calcium in various enzymes including the central &amp; peripheral nervous system</p><p>&#10004;&#65039; The presence of methylmercury overloaded the nervous system with intracellular calcium, which leads to overexcitation of the nervous system by glutamate, contributes to the failure of energy metabolism, contributes to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and disrupted mitochondrial health according to a July 2012 study by Roos et al.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-9" href="#footnote-9" target="_self">9</a></p><p>&#10004;&#65039; There is an intriguing case study by Mortazavi et al<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-10" href="#footnote-10" target="_self">10</a>, which discovered that MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) as well as microwave radiation emitted from mobile phones significantly release mercury from dental amalgams. The study did not say that the participants had immediate symptoms from the mercury vaporization. </p><p>&#10004;&#65039; Microwave radiation from wireless devices has been proven to open up the <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/i/140755745/what-is-a-neuro-immune-disorder">blood-brain barrier</a> (BBB), the last line of defense of our neuro-immune system.  . Increased permeability of this barrier has been found in those with autism. As far back as 1970, Allan H. Frey conducted research for the US Navy and found that EMF allows other environmental toxins to leak through our BBB.</p><div class="poll-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;id&quot;:336980}" data-component-name="PollToDOM"></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://vitalitymaximized.substack.com/publish/post/165289572&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://vitalitymaximized.substack.com/publish/post/165289572"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><p>If there is one message to drive home about heavy metal toxicity &amp; the intensity of electrosensitivity it&#8217;s that our toxic burden is like an <strong>alloy</strong>, meaning a combination of different toxins.  It&#8217;s safe to say that given our astronomical exposures to heavy metals, everyone (bar none) is heavy metal-toxic to some degree.</p><p>Thus it is extremely short-sighted to seek a specific detox regimen for a specific heavy metal.  Detox programs like the Andy Cutler Chelation protocol &amp; other chelation or specific detox programs do not operate within the body&#8217;s wisdom &amp; promote detoxification safely.

The &#8220;hystera&#8221; is Greek for uterus, and hysteria was a neurological disease that was believed to originate in the internal organs.  For centuries the term nervous meant &#8220;neurological&#8221;, pertaining more to the body<strong> </strong>than mind. Nervous disorders included epilepsy, contractions, paralysis, tremors, cramps, alcoholism, loss of sensations, tetanus, and gout.</p><p>In the early 1800s, many illnesses were still being called hysterical, even when there was nothing wrong with the uterus.  When women had tremors, palpitations, or seizures, but the internal organs were not affected, they were called &#8220;nervous.&#8221;  </p><p>A colleague of Thomas Edison, and budding New York City neurologist George Miller Beard, noticed this trend of increasing nervous disorders.  In 1869, Beard published a paper in the New England Journal of Medicine, where he came up with the term <em>neurasthenia</em>, which means &#8220;weak nerves.&#8221;  If there was nothing wrong with the organs, what was precipitating this &#8220;nervousness&#8221;?</p><h4>The hormonal rollercoaster of light</h4><p>Women are more sensitive to hormonal changes, which are directly influenced by fluctuations in the electromagnetic environment.  For instance, more women tend to be afflicted with Lyme disease due to higher levels of the leptin hormone.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a>  When leptin increases as the result of a biotoxin exposure such as Lyme, there is a simultaneous decrease in melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH).  Our bodies produce MSH in response to the electromagnetic stimulus of ultraviolet light we get from the Sun.  MSH then produces melanin, an anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic hormone.  As the entire planet embraced electric lighting, more people began to work indoors. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png" width="792" height="245" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:245,&quot;width&quot;:792,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:300547,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtfK!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0247a9b4-3d46-48fb-a549-dd5f1fa8579e_792x245.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Children and women in workhouses of The Industrial Age</figcaption></figure></div><p>In 1885, German physician Rudolf Arndt made a connection between neurasthenia and electricity.&nbsp;  He did this at the height of industrialization, for which he was vehemently admonished by his fellows.

As humans we&#8217;re wired to embrace the collective norms of our tribe, even if it doesn&#8217;t serve our individual self-interest.  Similar badges of honor were worn by the Japanese, who would commit suicide through the ancient ritual of <em>seppuku</em>, or falling on one&#8217;s sword.  This was done in order to save face for your family, to protect them from poverty, or because you had disgraced your peers so much that your continued existence was unacceptable.  This act also served as a dramatic way to demonstrate one&#8217;s obedience to the chain of command.  </p><p>This ritual still clings to our psyche.  Do you remember being scorned by your parents asking  <em>&#8220;If your friends jump off a cliff, would you?&#8221;</em>  While we may think this is attributed to lemmings committing suicide, this is in fact a myth. The true story has much darker origins - rooted in shame.  In 1944,  when American troops defeated the Japanese at The Battle of Saipan, the Japanese committed mass suicide to save face.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Adding to the tragedy, after it was clear the battle was lost, a devastating number of Japanese civilian men, women, and children committed suicide by leaping off of a 600-foot cliff into the sea in order to avoid capture.</p><p>The total number of suicides is unknown, though most estimate at least several hundred, possibly more than 1,000 people took their own lives on that day.  This collective suicide earned the cliff its new name, Banzai Cliff, as jumpers shouted &#8216;banzai&#8217; while they plummeted to their deaths, wishing the emperor 10,000 years of life.&#8221; </p><p><em>Source:  <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Molly McBride Jacobson&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:35203868,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5e09f97e-cec7-4d1b-8591-9c9ecf8a5e8c_1125x1019.jpeg&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;9b9b3c68-de63-4bf5-aaa5-0ef645979336&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> , Atlas Obscura</em></p></blockquote><p>Instead of confronting their shame, these civilians chose to hide, drowning themselves in the depths of dishonor.  May God have mercy on their souls.  Similar acts of &#8220;honorable&#8221; conduct in the last few years, as impaling one&#8217;s arm onto needles fashioned by the US Department of Defense marked one a hero for the cause, while those defecting from the front lines of mass sacrifice were branded a coward and a traitor.  </p><p>In order to provide for ourselves, our families, and partners, many of us are expected to fall on the sword of digital servitude daily.  We&#8217;re ordered to carry a cell phone by our employer, or give our children these same wireless devices so that we&#8217;re not judged by our peers as irresponsible, backward parents.  If we do not, we&#8217;re cast out as cracked-up health nuts, or worse - tinfoil hat conspirators.  </p><p>Unfortunately, the shame is too much to bear for many of us, so we do what we believe to be honorable according to society.  We continue to wander along as vagrants on the high roads of health, taking detours and adopting quick fixes like buying pendants and cell phone stickers, eating &#8220;<a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/emfdiet">superfoods</a>&#8221; and taking more supplements, while never being able to grasp for the vital life we know is possible.  </p><p>We cower, obey, and say:</p><p><em>&#8220;The tech is all around us.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;m only one person - what can I do?&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;m tired - and what will my friends think?&#8221;</em></p><h4>Maybe you need to get new friends.  </h4><p>Like the ones who went to San Francisco and wear silicon chip flowers in their hair.  What do these self-appointed emperors of Silicon Valley proclaim as an honorable code of technological conduct for their own clans of future marauders - their children?</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t generally want my kids to be sitting in front of a computer for a long period of time.&#8221; ~ Mark Zuckerberg</em></p><p><em>&#8220;It probably interferes with productivity in weird ways.

Along with the effects on our children and relationships, what is this technology costing us financially?  The hellish marriage of social media software and wireless software was consummated in earnest in 2009, as Facebook introduced the Like button and Twitter introduced the Retweet.  This allowed messages to go viral in ways never before possible.  In 2010, the iPhone 4 was released with a <strong>front</strong>-facing &#8220;selfie&#8221; camera, along with FaceTime video calling.

Cancer was rare before the 1800s, and lung cancer was once so uncommon that it was not even listed in most countries until 1929.  The increase in cancer began slightly before heart disease, and early records from England show that cancer deaths were rising as early as 1850.

Electricity and EMF damage the respiration and oxygen metabolism of our mitochondria, the engines of our cells.  Damaged respiration reduces the number and size of mitohoncdria, creates mitochondria with an abnormal structure, and lessens the activity of our metabolism, otherwise known as the electron transport chain.

says cell phones don&#8217;t cause brain cancer</h4><p>According to a 2024 research review<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6" href="#footnote-6" target="_self">6</a> commissioned by the World Health Organization, published by Ken Karipidis and collegues included sixty-three studies between 1994 and 2022, stating cell phones &#8220;likely do not not cause brain cancer.&#8221;  There are many flaws with this study, which include:</p><h4>Cumulative Call Time excluded</h4><p>The study&#8217;s authors ignored the largest studies with statistically significantly odds (OR) in the highest exposed groups.  Cumulative call time (CCT) is one of the most important variables to consider when studying the impacts on health effects.  However the 2024 WHO review only published users who had had a low CCT, some as little as one minute per week for 10 years (2001-2011). Put into perspective, this is about 8.7 hours of total use in ten years.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a>  The study also did not publish the CCT results of high users, and excluded the data on the graphs included in the study.  Dr. Joel Moskowitz and colleagues countered the WHO review with their own study.  Their comprehensive analysis of studies found significant evidence linking cellular phone use to increased tumor risk, especially among cell phone users with cumulative cell phone use of 1000 or more hours in their lifetime (which corresponds to about 17 min per day over 10 years).</p><h4>Real-life scenarios excluded</h4><p>The Karipidis study did not take into account laterality, or the side of the head used during mobile phone calls related to the location of brain tumors.  Studies on laterality show clear evidence of increased risks of brain tumors for ipsilateral (same side as the brain tumor) use of the mobile phone, including also the cordless phone. Thus, results on the most exposed part of the brain were excluded.  </p><p>The WHO review by Karipidis also only included five studies that modelled (simulated) exposure from transmitters or base stations and only studies on pediatric cancer, thereby excluding several studies showing increased risks for cancer in children and adults near transmitters and base stations. One of the two included base station studies reported increased risk &#8220;of all neoplasms in children with higher-than-median RF exposure to [Mobile phone base stations] MPBS&#8221;. Yet, the authors claimed there would be &#8220;moderate certainty evidence&#8221; of no childhood leukaemia risk.</p><p>All use of cordless (DECT) phones was disregarded although they were also exposed to the same kind of RF radiation as from mobile phone use. Lennart Hardell and colleagues has shown that also use of cordless phones is associated with increased risk for glioma and acoustic neuroma tumors.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-8" href="#footnote-8" target="_self">8</a></p><h4>Powerful misdirection</h4><p>Karipidis and colleagues state in their review that the &#8220;average output power of cordless phone is 1&#8211;2 order of magnitude less than that from 1G to 2G mobile phones,&#8221; and also write that &#8220;most participants in the reviewed studies had used mobile phones operating on 1G-2G networks, and mobile phones of newer technology (3G-4G) have substantially lower average output power.&#8221;   Here the authors are referring to the SAR (specific absorption rate), or the amount of radiofrequency energy absorbed by the body.  The SAR measurement is misleading as it does not take into account frequency or the electric fields generated by cellular base stations or mobile phones.  While you may have a microwave that is less powerful, which may not heat your food as quickly, the frequency of 2.45 GHz is still the same, and has the biological effects on DNA.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-9" href="#footnote-9" target="_self">9</a>  </p><p>Older cell phones used lower frequencies, whereas newer cell phones use higher frequencies.  As frequency increases, the wavelength (or space between each electromagnetic pulse) is lessened, resulting in more information transmitted over a shorter distance.  Newer 5G cellular systems also use laser beamforming technology, which has a substantial increase in power level and power density from older (1G-4G) generations.</p><h4>Biased results</h4><p>Several of the authors in the Karipidis group have conflicts of interests, with ties to ICNIRP,  a private organization that has recommended the exposure limits that most countries in the world have adopted. The telecommunications industry has adapted their technology to the ICNIRP limits. Several investigations<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-10" href="#footnote-10" target="_self">10</a> have concluded that there are ties between the telecommunications industry, the ICNIRP and the WHO<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-11" href="#footnote-11" target="_self">11</a>, the latter commissioning the Karipidis report. According to the Ethical Council at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden in a verdict on Anders Ahlbom at Karolinska Institute Stockholm, the membership in ICNIRP is a potential conflict of interest.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-12" href="#footnote-12" target="_self">12</a></p><p>According to one of the major telecomm infrastructure providers, lower limits than ICNIRP&#8217;s would make the 5G roll out &#8220;difficult or impossible.&#8221; </p><p>Below is a list of authors with conflicts of interests:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Ken Karipidis</strong>, first author, is member of ICNIRP (today vice chair), since 2015</p></li><li><p><strong>Dan Baaken</strong>, second author, is scientific secretary of ICNIRP since July 2024. </p></li><li><p><strong>Tom Loney</strong> has performed research and provided advisory services to the defense, industrial and healthcare sectors. The defense industry has interests in the outcome of a cancer risk evaluation of RF radiation, thus a potential conflict of interest.</p></li><li><p><strong>Martin R&#246;&#246;sli </strong>is a member of ICNIRP since 2016. In addition, he has received funding for research from a Swiss foundation funded by the telecommunications industry<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-13" href="#footnote-13" target="_self">13</a>  that serves as an intermediate between telecom industry and researchers.</p></li><li><p><strong>Susanna Lagorio</strong> has collaborated with scientists with known conflicts of interests in terms of funding from industry and membership in ICNIRP.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-14" href="#footnote-14" target="_self">14</a> She has testified on behalf of Radio Vatican regarding cancer risks from the RF-radiation.</p></li></ul><h4>What are the financial costs of brain cancer?</h4><p>The global market for treating brain cancer is currently $4.2 billion USD, and is expected to reach $10.3 billion by 2032.

A study conducted by the American Cancer Society revealed that brain cancer survivors experience higher rates of unemployment and reduced work hours compared to the general population.  This loss of income and productivity not only affects the patients themselves but also has long-term financial consequences for their families.</p><h3>What are symptoms of brain cancer?</h3><p>Symptoms vary from person to person, and may include*:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Headaches,</strong> often the first symptom, may become more frequent as time passes.

the Trump administration?</h4><p>Even though the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has been rightfully smeared as a &#8220;captured agency&#8221; by the Harvard Center for Ethics in 2015,<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-28" href="#footnote-28" target="_self">28</a> we can take heart that Trump is a populist, who is more likely to follow the will of the people than his predeccesors.  However, Trump is also heavily-backed by technocrat Peter Thiel, Elon Musk&#8217;s former business partner at Paypal.  Thiel has openly called for a technocratic, centralized regime.  </p><div class="pullquote"><p>We're less of a constitutional republic than we used to be and&#8230;it's shifted from the constitutional republic to this sort of unelected technocratic bureaucracy - you know the Deep state things like that and maybe that's what you need to have in a technologically advanced Society where&#8230;you need experts, you need a Central Intelligence Agency, you need to have secrets - secrets about nuclear weapons, secrets about other things.  </p><p>~ Peter Thiel, interviewed by <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;The Free Press&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:114101724,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c2250d3e-e4d0-4723-a28d-092ec9be38d0_1500x1500.png&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;0a143e7e-aadb-4ccb-a436-b093c8ed3a3c&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> </p></div><p>In the astute words of <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Thinking Coalition&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:206081263,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fba34c11c-9021-44be-aa14-399bf8476e28_500x500.png&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;479d8aed-4fee-4302-8595-d8c9f6c1a9f6&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> , &#8220;technocracy&#8217;s core idea is that society should be managed by a scientific priesthood, which would regulate society to ensure production and distribution of key goods.&#8221;   This is effectively communism.  In a world that is changing rapidly, how can those who seek to profit from the human capital of production control distribution?  Through advanced technologies like space-based artificial intelligence<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-29" href="#footnote-29" target="_self">29</a> and ground-based 5G cellular networks.  </p><h4>The global slave colony of jobs and bones</h4><p>St. Petersburg has been called the Paris of the North, but is more appropriately named the City of Bones.  Historians believe the remains of some one hundred thousand 18th-century serfs are buried beneath its wide Parisian-style avenues and grand Italianate palaces.  Some estimates are that 30,000 people died in the city&#8217;s initial construction alone.  Working conditions were awful, with many resorting to using their shirts to carry back stones to the construction site.  Most died of scurvy, dysentery and malaria.  What we see now looks impressive, but it was built on misery.  </p><p>Today many US workers are flying to the promises of Trump and his cabinet, all the while believing that he only wants to make America Great again.  People often believe Trump&#8217;s version of Great is their own version - but what if it isn&#8217;t?  What if the Greatness is not about bringing back traditional American values, but building an electronic slave colony forged with the collective suffering of those too ashamed to confront the truth - being used to build a Palace of Doom?</p><p>Let&#8217;s remember that in March of 2020, Trump signed into law a pair of bills designed to boost wireless and broadband networks: the Secure 5G and Beyond Act, which requires the President to develop a strategy to secure and protect 5G technology.  We can only hope to Make America Healthy Again by putting pressure on our local politicians, and supporting bills (like those I discussed with <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/i/155103539/make-americas-healthcare-great-again">Charles Frohman below)</a> that raise awareness around not only the wireless health costs, but the costs of real-estate devaluation.  Many conservatives look the other way when it comes to Musk&#8217;s transhumanist agenda, since their hate of the woke agenda surpasses their love for true health freedom.</p><h4>Carr cares </h4><p>Nominated by both President Trump and President Biden,  and confirmed unanimously by the Senate three times, Brendan Carr is the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).  Carr has been described as &#8220;the FCC&#8217;s 5G crusader.&#8221;  Carr served previously as the FCC&#8217;s General Counsel. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

NeuroFlow uses headsets to collect neurological data from patients via electroencephalogram (EEG) and Bluetooth monitors to collect heart rate data. Algorithms then distill this data into charts - for psychological professionals and patients.  Clinicians can monitor a patient&#8217;s response to simple and complex body activities during therapy through NeuroFlow&#8217;s app, and can even track patients&#8217; relaxation and stress levels between rehabilitation sessions, enabling them to determine the most effective treatments.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-32"

If you have ObamaCare, you&#8217;ll have to pick from certain networks.  Many Americans have abandoned this system, and opted for more flexible options like medical cost-sharing along with health savings accounts (HSA).  The tax-advantage HSA is very popular, since this also allows us to increase what we can contribute toward retirement.</p><p>I recently learned more about this flexible alternative in my interview with health freedom advocate <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Charles D.

The first cases of MS began to be studied in earnest in 1868.  Before 1960, MS was virtually unknown in Japan.</p><p>What happened after 1868, and what can we learn from Japan?</p><p>The diet of the Japanese is rich in seafood, which contains high amounts of <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/babybrains">DHA</a>. DHA is an ancient fatty acid that converts the light from our environment into electrical impulses that our nervous system then uses to repair, and run our brains&#8217; daily operating system.  We can think of DHA as our solar polar inverter.  An inverter takes one form of energy, and converts it to electricity that can be used by the system.</p><p>If our brains can change how they operate based on signals from our environment, what hardware runs the software of our brain?  </p><h3>The Gateway of our Sol</h3><p>Our retina contains high levels of DHA, and decodes the software program of light, which runs on the hard drive of the Sun.  The Sun carries unlimited memory for our potential growth, as its infinite wavelengths dictate our health&#8217;s future.  </p><p>The hard drives of all quantum supercomputers run on water - and our brain is no different.  Our mitochondria, the engines of our cells, run most efficiently on water that is charged with light, in the infrared range.  How does this all work?</p><p>The water within us is energized by what Einstein discovered as the <em>photoelectric effect</em>:  Our Sun splits the water in our cells from its molecular composition of H2O into (2) hydrogen + 2 electrons + oxygen.  We then use these electrons, along with the water that has been charged by the Sun&#8217;s electric force, to provide energy to our nervous system.  </p><p>To learn more about how the Sun works with water to create a hydrogen fuel cell battery within us, read:</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;459ad43c-139c-4b2e-a12c-97468a709af2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;This is Part 5 of a series of strategies we can apply to mitigate EMF damage that&#8217;s already occurred.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;showDescription&quot;:true,&quot;showImage&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;How Water Can Insulate Us from EMF&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:92311873,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Roman S Shapoval&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;Husband.

The Sun sustains all life with its electromagnetic field, which comes down to Earth in the form of plasma that we perceive as light.  The plasma of our blood, which is mostly water, uses the electromagnetic force of solar plasma.  Proteins within our blood plasma regulate gene expression and the immune system.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a>  </p><p>The Sun charges the Earth like a battery, and helps our planet maintain its protective magnetosphere.  If we didn&#8217;t have a Sun, we wouldn&#8217;t have a magnetic field.  This is why when we aren&#8217;t grounded to the Earth*, our red blood cells lose electrical charge, which can thicken our blood leaving us predisposed to blood clots.  <em> </em></p><p><em>*Depending

Artificial blue light lowers oxygen in the retina by lowering the amount of DHA in the eye.  Anytime we have less DHA, our thyroid can no longer make the necessary hormones for growth.  DHA, an omega 3 fatty acid, helps us have enough cholesterol so that we can then make pregnenolone, which in turn lets us make vitamin D.  Blue light steals pregnenolone, and switches hormonal production to cortisol.</p><p>A multitude of epidemiological studies have revealed that individuals with low levels of vitamin D in their blood are at considerably increased risk for developing MS.  Up to 90% of MS patients are deficient in vitamin D.</p><p>A recent study has quantified the impact of vitamin D blood levels on risk for MS relapse.  A 50-nmol/L (20-ng/mL) increment in average serum Vitamin D levels within the first 12 months predicted a 57% lower rate of new active lesions.  Researchers found that for &#8220;each 10 nmol/l increase in 25-OH-D results in up to a 12% reduction in risk of relapse.

Although the inhabitants are Nordic and considered a high-risk group for the disease, there were no known reports of MS prior to 1943 among native-born residents. In the early 1960s a Washington D.C. neurologist, Dr. John Kurtzke, became intrigued with a report by a Danish investigator, K. Hyllested, who recorded about twenty-five cases of MS in the Faroes that had started occuring in 1943. It appeared that the disease had been brought into the Faroes since it hadn&#8217;t been reported there before.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-9" href="#footnote-9" target="_self">9</a></p><p>The most significant event that had taken place on the Faroes was the British occupation during World War II.  During this time, the British military imported artificial light and wireless technology.</p><h4>Can leafy greens make us glow?</h4><p>Terry Wahls has had much success with patients by introducing a &#8220;heavy leafy green diet protocol.&#8221;  Green leafy veggies are loaded with nitrogen.&nbsp; These foods can restore the nitrogen substrate in the skin to be converted to nitric oxide, which helps us synthesize vitamin D.  Patients with MS have low levels of nitric oxide in their skin, which we need in order to absorb vitamin D in the presence of UV sunlight.  </p><p>There are four things we need to be aware of when considering a new diet:</p><p>1- Light is the primary food our bodies consume, as two-thirds of our mitochondrial energy requirement comes from light, and only one-third from food.   </p><p>2- An ancestral approach of seafood rich in DHA gives us electric nutrition.</p><p>3- Our digestion runs on a clock that is our circadian rhythm.  This rhythm is played by magnetic melodies that ensue with an orchestra of light at sunrise.</p><p>4- Some vegetables may contain high levels of oxalates, which form crystals in our tissues, potentially making us more susceptible to electromagnetic radiation.  We explored the role of oxalates in <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/emfdiet">our recent interview with Sally K.

Alexander Graham Bell were both diagnosed with diabetes after conducting electrical experiments.</p><p>John Rollo wrote the first book on diabetes in 1798 and had only seen three cases himself in the twenty-three years he practiced medicine.</p><p>In 1876, many practitioners such as Benjamin Richardson considered diabetes to be &#8220;a modern disease caused by exhaustion from mental overwork or by some shock to the nervous system.&nbsp;Yet it was still uncommon.&#8221; <a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1"

diabetes:</p><p>Type 1 - genetic, occurs mostly in children, accounts for 5% of cases</p><p>Type 2 - epigenetic - due to lifestyle, adult-onset, accounts for 90-95% of cases</p><p>Type 3 - epigenetic

example.&nbsp;</p><p>Bhutan had some of the healthiest people in the world, with little disease.</p><p>There was no electrification in most of the country, until 2002, when the Bhutan Power Corporation was launched.&nbsp;In 2004, 634 new cases of diabetes were reported in Bhutan.&nbsp;In 2007 there were 2,541 cases with 15 deaths.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a></p><p>The rise in mortality and illness was even blamed on the Bhutanese diet, one that they had followed for thousands of years.</p><h2><strong>Obesity as a Symptom of Diabetes</strong></h2><p>Before the 1900s, diabetics were also not overweight. &nbsp;Today, most are overweight due to their cells&#8217; reduced ability to metabolize fats.&nbsp; Impairment of fat metabolism is a sign that the engines of our cells, the mitochondria, aren&#8217;t working efficiently.</p><p>Mitochondrial metabolism is disrupted by radiowaves and Wi-Fi.  This occurs because EMFs reduce the ability for our bodies to use free electrons to power the basis of our metabolism - the electron transport chain (ECT).  Our ECT requires certain enzymes in order to efficiently generate energy for our bodies.  Think of our ECT as a slow-burning campfire, which uses infrared and full spectrum Sunlight to create energy.</p><p>What happens when we introduce electrosmog?  Our metabolic campfire dies out from too much electric rain.  Now our mitochondria are stuck in the middle of the woods with no flashlight - because we&#8217;re only using the light of our iPhones to guide us back into a black phone forest of no return.</p><p>Wireless radiation dampens the enzyme activity of cytochrome C oxidase, and our cells cannot breakdown or metabolize food efficiently.  </p><p>In 2010, Harvard, along with the University of Massachusetts and Joslin Diabetes Center, published a review of the role of mitochondria in diabetes, and concluded that there was a &#8220;failure of mitochondria to adapt to higher cellular demands.&#8221;</p><h2><strong>How Does Radiation Effect our Blood Sugar?</strong></h2><p>During the Cold War, the Joint Publications Research Service translated foreign documents of Soviet research, which showed how participants exposed to electromagnetic fields similar to those of the cordless phones and cell phones we have today were prediabetic and had sugar in their urine after the experiments.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6" href="#footnote-6" target="_self">6</a></p><p>In 2011, Finnish researchers conducted brain scans and submitted their findings to the Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, showing that glucose metabolism is disrupted in the region of the brain next to a cell phone.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a></p><h2><strong>Another Unexplained Spike</strong></h2><p>In 1997, diabetes cases soared 31% in one year.&nbsp;This is the same year that cell phones were no longer a luxury and became a commonplace necessity.</p><p>Before 1997, rural areas of the US did not have cell towers.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Both hormones help us control appetite by balancing our levels of leptin.</p><p>POMC needs sunlight and the right amount of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) to work efficiently. Ultimately, POMC helps us maintain blood sugar levels, protects the body from stress, and suppresses inflammation.  POMC is a critical regulator of energy balance. Much of what is known about our brain&#8217;s control of overall energy balance and fat storage stem from what we know about the melanocortin system and leptin.</p><p>In the course of chronic kidney disease, alterations in vitamin D metabolism contribute to increases in the levels of parathyroid hormone.</p><p>Why is this a problem?

many diabetics, their macula (part of the retina at the back of the eye) also loses its yellow pigment &nbsp;Yellow pigments come from carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin (found in eggs and shrimp).  </p><p>These pigments are yellow to preserve the sharp central vision of the macula and absorb any stray blue light as a complementary color. &nbsp;Blue light causes visual blur when your macula is damaged. &nbsp;Many diabetics have this blur before they get diagnosed.  Blur occurs because blue light bends more than other wavelengths of color. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Judging by the amount of people sheltering indoors with their iPads, and avoiding the Sun, we can expect diabetes to soar, especially in younger populations.</p><p>Why else is UV good for a diabetic?</p><p>Regular exposure to solar UV light via our eyes and skin stimulates our thyroid and brain to make the T3 thyroid hormone.  T3 balances our body's metabolism. Tanning in full spectrum Sunlight also increases our metabolism, which in turn helps us maintain a healthier weight.</p><h2><strong>Wild Fat Rats Can't Stop Eating Sugar too?</strong></h2><p>David B.

rose over time.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-11" href="#footnote-11" target="_self">11</a></p><p>Chimps gained the most and were twenty-nine

miniscule electrical signals.  Our motor neurons, which are impaired in ALS, have more mitochondria than our sensory neurons.  Our mitochondria are our bodies&#8217; factories of life, and produce the energy molecule ATP, which also helps stabilize proteins.  </p><p>It turns out that our mitochondria are also controlled by voltage<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a> e.g. EMF.   Our mitochondria contain what are known as voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC).

No - not like the nitrites found in sausage, or the nitrous oxide used in Fast and Furious.

Statins work by decreasing cholesterol.  However, the synapses of our nervous system are made, primarily, of cholesterol. </p><p>Cholesterol is required to maintain the health of the myelin sheath, that surrounds and protects neurons.  Glial cells in the brain, like the microglia mentioned above, sustain the myelin sheath by synthesizing their own cholesterol and transferring it across to neurons.</p><p>The two most widely prescribed statins are simvastatin and atorvastatin.

investigating the reckless use of statins and the false narrative of cholesterol.  Dr. Kendrick made the following point regarding the statin-ALS statistics, which I find notable:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;It is often said that association does not mean causation. However, this is only true up to a point. Most statisticians agree that an odds ratio &gt; 6 represents proof of causation. When you find that people taking atorvastatin have a <strong>seventeen-fold increase </strong>in risk of ALS, this is proof of causation. The effect is too massive to be due to anything else.&#8221;</p><p>-<a href="https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2018/04/09/statins-and-amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis/">Dr. Malcolm Kendrick</a></p></blockquote><p></p><h4>Where do we go from here?</h4><p>Out of our blue night, and into the Sunlight.</p><p>We are<strong> more </strong>powerful than we know,</p><p>Roman &amp; Bohdanna</p><p><em>If you&#8217;ve found this article valuable, would you consider sharing it?</em></p><p></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/als?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/als?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><p></p><h4>Join us as we greet 2025 with the light &#128293; of our ancestors - </h4><h4>Illumination.

that our ear drums vibrate, and this causes the hair cells of our ears to bend, triggering nerve impulses. However this theory was always mechanical in nature, and disregarded the role of electricity. </p><p>As far back as 1933, scientists of the day were challenging this mechanical version of hearing. Augustus Pohlman, an anatomy professor and dean of the school of medicine at the University of South Dakota, was such a man. He believed that the hair cells of the ear were pressure sensors, which would explain how the ear could be so extremely sensitive. This also explained why the cochlea is embedded in the densest bone in the human body: the cochlea is a soundproof chamber.</p><h3>What powers our melanin computer chip?</h3><p>What is a skin pigment doing in our ear?</p><p>It turns out melanin is way more than just a pigment.</p><p>Remember those mitochondrial NASA ground operators working tirelessly at Ammon&#8217;s Horn?

1960, the sounds of silence struck a chord.</p><p>Biologist Allan H. Frey, who was employed at General Electric&#8217;s (GE) Advanced Electronics Center at Cornell University, bumped into a fellow technician at GE who told Frey that he could hear radar. Frey remembers walking to the man&#8217;s work site near Syracuse: &#8220;When I walked around there and climbed up to stand at the edge of the pulsating beam, I could hear it, too&#8230;going <em>zip-zip-zip</em>.&#8221; The auditory phenomenon of microwave sound was also described as a &#8220;buzz, click, hiss or bump.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-8" href="#footnote-8" target="_self">8</a></p><p>Even before 1960, Frey, being a curious man, was fascinated with how electricity in the air affects our nervous system. This chance encounter in Syracuse led Frey to quit his job at GE and pursue full-time research into the effects of microwave radiation. In 1961, he published his first paper on &#8220;microwave hearing.&#8221;<a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/what-does-radiation-sound-like#footnote-1-102664014">1</a> The microwave auditory effect (MAE) is commonly known as the <em>Frey effect</em>. Frey would spend the next twenty years researching the effects of microwaves on the auditory and nervous system, the eyes, brain, and the heart.</p><h3>The tin foil hat</h3><p>In his studies, which were funded by the Office of Naval Research and the US Army, Frey discovered that when a metal shield in the form of an aluminum mesh/ screen was placed between the subject and the radar, no microwave sounds were heard.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-9" href="#footnote-9" target="_self">9</a>The aluminum was placed on our temporal region, where we are most sensitive to EMFs.</p><p>Many people who complain of &#8220;microwave hearing&#8221; (including myself) can sense that these sounds emanate not from our ear, but right in front, by the location of our brain's temporal lobe (where our temples are). This is due to the piezoelectric nature of our cochlea, as it converts electric currents into sound.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-10" href="#footnote-10" target="_self">10</a></p><p></p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/526acd4b-28bb-482a-8593-7f5f83170364_400x394.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7dbd202f-8967-4d7d-8a58-a40fea80d491_1080x1080.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot; Human auditory system response to modulated electromagnetic energy - Allan.H.Frey (1961) &quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;The Frey Effect&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/cb574d26-cee3-4631-ad44-87ec79455949_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://romanshapoval.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><h3>How can the deaf be made to hear?</h3><p>Many mainstream science websites state that human hearing is in the <em>audible frequency </em>range, between 20-20,000Hz (Hz = cycles per second). This is incorrect.</p><p>Since the 1940s, there has been much scientific literature proving that humans, even the deaf, can hear in the <em>ultrasonic </em>frequency range of 20,000-225,000 Hz, a range previously relegated to the likes of bats and dolphins.<a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/what-does-radiation-sound-like#footnote-5-102664014">5</a></p><p>The ability to hear these tones depends on the health of the acoustic nerve. The deaf have what is called conduction deafness, and not nerve deafness. Even since 1925, amateur radio enthusiasts found that deaf people, whose eardrums could no longer function properly, but whose (acoustic) nerve centers are intact, can hear radio.<a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/what-does-radiation-sound-like#footnote-6-102664014">6</a> The deaf were able to hear when an electrode was applied to the surface of the skin, which vibrated and created sound by reaching the inner ear through bone conduction.<a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/what-does-radiation-sound-like#footnote-7-102664014">7</a></p><p>In 1936, this phenomenon was named &#8220;electrophonic hearing&#8221; by Harvard psychologist Stanley Stevens. In 1958, a young inventor by the name of Patrick Flanagan would apply the work of Stevens by inventing <a href="https://www.vitalvibesource.com/product/neurophone-nf3-patrick-flanagan/">the Neurophone</a>, which is still used today. This device works by skin vibration as well, but uses a carrier frequency in the ultrasonic range.</p><p>These findings are in tune with the priniciple of piezoelectric transmission of light into a mechanical force of sound, as our nerves pick up on electrical wave impulses in our environment.</p><h3>Airpods are for radioheads</h3><p>Devices such as airpods and fitbits use radiofrequency (RF, a type of EMF), which ultimately vibrates and steals electrons from your tissues.</p><p>A hallmark of sound health is having a net negative charge, and being able to donate electrons (negative charge) to many cellular processes that need them. This is why <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/how-to-treat-emf-radiation-part-2">food high in NAD+</a> is crucial, along with practices like grounding (as long as their is no ground current present, as there is in North America due to the utility companies using the Earth as the return / ground path).</p><p>When we lose electrons, we also become dehydrated more easily as our bodies require charged (structured) water to work. This <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/i/120334740/our-bodys-battery">structured water</a> barrier is what  ultimately buffers the violent vibrations our bodies experience as a result of EMFs from wireless devices such as airpods.</p><p>The light that we &#8220;hear&#8221; from airpods have short wavelengths with high intensity. These wavelengths cause us to lose nitric oxide (NO), which when balanced helps us maintain healthy circulation (think beets) and maintain energy levels.</p><p>This is how our brains and nervous system perceives and receives bluetooth radiation at 2.45 GHz, or <em><strong>2.5 billion times per second!:</strong></em></p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;241997fe-c3e9-48a9-9a1a-5efbdf433f78&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/tinnitus?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/tinnitus?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><p>Remember - melanin absorbs UV light.

tinnitus have been rising for at least the last thirty years, and have climbed by one-third from 1982-1996 alone.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-11" href="#footnote-11" target="_self">11</a> By 2004, over 50 million adults were found to suffer from tinnitus. The surprising fact, found by a US nationwide survey conducted in 2010 by the Better Hearing Institute, was that 44 percent of Americans who complained of ringing in their ears said they had normal hearing. Researchers falsely assumed that the subjects of the study had hearing loss but did not know it.   </p><p>Similar hearing studies had already been conducted at the University of Madison Wisconsin in 1995 with a follow-up in 2008. These researchers had expected to see a decline in tinnitis, as hearing disorders among older adults declined. However they found just the opposite: a steady increase in tinnitus in all age groups occurred during the 1990s and 2000s, increasing at a rate of about 50 percent.<a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/what-does-radiation-sound-like#footnote-10-102664014">10</a></p><p>Studies on seven-year-old children by professor of audiology Kajsa-Mia Holgers at the University of Jonkoping in Sweden, conducted in 1997 and 2005, revealed a staggering 42 percent of children reporting ringing in their ears. Holgers also found that more than half of high school students aged 13 to 16 reported tinnitus in some form during the 2003-2004 school year. In 2004, school children aged 9 to 16 reported tinnitus, and 14 percent heard it everyday.</p><p>Why would children, who normally have very healthy hearing, be experiencing tinnitus?</p><p>If a child or adult has otherwise healthy hearing, then we must look at what may be causing this disturbance in our environment.</p><p>We know that we can hear electromagnetic energy in the ultrasonic range from 20 kHz to about 225 kHz.</p><p>What transmits at 20 kHz- 225 kHz?</p><p>The same radiowaves and radar that Allan Frey could hear, and proved to be audible in his studies, which have been increasingly surrounding us since the 1940s.</p><h2>Two tactics I employ to reduce tinnitus:</h2><h3>1. Grounding soundly</h3><p>Did you know that our mitochondria are magnetic?<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-12" href="#footnote-12" target="_self">12</a> </p><p>Researchers at Ohio University discovered that both heat and sound are controlled by magnetic fields.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-13" href="#footnote-13" target="_self">13</a>&nbsp; Both heat and sound are created when atoms vibrate. The researchers found that magnetic fields caused some of the phonons (sound particles) passing through the material to vibrate out of sync so that they bumped into one another.&nbsp; Our cells communicate via vibration and frequencies of 0-75 Hz.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-14" href="#footnote-14" target="_self">14</a> </p><p>Our mitochondria, which process the auditory signal at Ammon&#8217;s Horn, are inherently magnetic.&nbsp; When we ground, we can regulate magetic fields for our mitochondria, giving them more proceessing

costs!) who have had acute tinnitus after shutting off their circuit breaker (emanates a large magnetic field).&nbsp; </p><p>They report immediate relief after grounding:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;At night when I shutdown the power to the home, I go to the circuit breaker, which outputs around 100+ milliGauss when in close proximity to it. Doing this at 10pm before going to sleep I&#8217;m thinking can be disrupting, even a 10 second exposure. In the first month of moving into my new home, I noticed that after getting into bed and shutting down the power, I get a few minutes of tinnitus afterwards. </p><p>To compensate, I think I&#8217;ve successfully hacked it in a way you may not expect. After flipping the switches, I perform &#8216;Immediate Grounding&#8217; immediately thereafter (within about 10 seconds). I can do this because in my home, I have an internal stone-wall that&#8217;s connected to the earth (image below). So I experimented this past week.</p><p>After shutting down the power, I go over to the wall and touch it for about 2 minutes. Voila&#8230; it appears I have little to no tinnitus when I crawl into bed. Last night I only touched the wall for a few seconds and then got into bed, and I noticed the tinnitus, but wasn&#8217;t as intense and went away after just a minute. So I&#8217;m thinking there&#8217;s an actual perceptive difference when I ground after touching the circuit breaker, and when I don&#8217;t ground after touching the circuit breaker.&#8221;</p><p>- &#8220;Scotty&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>I like to stand barefoot on my basement floor while I type substack articles.  I&#8217;ve tested the ground current in this part of the floor, which is zero volts per meter for electrical fields.  Measuring this way is more effective than doing a body voltage test, which doesn&#8217;t measure actual current, only potential.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

Live in the near-infrared light district</h3><p>I don&#8217;t want to sound like a broken record, but light is the key to sound.&nbsp; Melanin is the pigment located in our ear that is built up through exposure to infrared and UV light.&nbsp; Before we can absorb UV to optimize the effects of melanin, we need to first load up on infrared light during the AM and throughout the year.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>Sunlight is still essential as the Sun carries an infinite amount of wavelengths, however infrared light therapy can also help us build melanin and&nbsp; optimize mitochondrial function.&nbsp; However when choosing a light therapy source, near infrared (NIR) proves to be the best.&nbsp; NIR also helps us increase <a

GSM 1800 (higher frequency than 1G) offered many more connections in crowded cities and solved the problem.&#8221;</p><p>-Olle Johansson</p></blockquote><p>Here is a graph from their study showing a marked uptick in negative health outcomes in Sweden beginning in 1997:</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xUwN!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdea339e2-4d40-4797-ab96-ca0da900fc53_705x834.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xUwN!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdea339e2-4d40-4797-ab96-ca0da900fc53_705x834.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xUwN!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdea339e2-4d40-4797-ab96-ca0da900fc53_705x834.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xUwN!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdea339e2-4d40-4797-ab96-ca0da900fc53_705x834.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xUwN!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdea339e2-4d40-4797-ab96-ca0da900fc53_705x834.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xUwN!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdea339e2-4d40-4797-ab96-ca0da900fc53_705x834.png" width="705" height="834" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/dea339e2-4d40-4797-ab96-ca0da900fc53_705x834.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:834,&quot;width&quot;:705,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:95355,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xUwN!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdea339e2-4d40-4797-ab96-ca0da900fc53_705x834.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xUwN!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdea339e2-4d40-4797-ab96-ca0da900fc53_705x834.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xUwN!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdea339e2-4d40-4797-ab96-ca0da900fc53_705x834.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xUwN!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdea339e2-4d40-4797-ab96-ca0da900fc53_705x834.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">&#8220;1997 - A curious year in Sweden&#8221;

Some small invaders can pass through, but the immune cells that fight them in the rest of the body cannot. Instead, microglia act as the immune cells of the brain. Inactive microglia (in yellow) survey the environment. When they detect invaders, they become activated (in orange) and change their shape by flattening and shortening their arms so that they can clean up the invaders. <a href="https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2022/microglia-the-protectors-of-the-brain/">Source</a></figcaption></figure></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://romanshapoval.substack.com/subscribe?group=true&amp;coupon=2bd4d5b1&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Get 20% off a group subscription&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/subscribe?group=true&amp;coupon=2bd4d5b1"><span>Get 20% off a group subscription</span></a></p><p>Our blood-brain barrier (BBB) is not easily crossed, however is made more permeable by EMFs such as Wi-Fi and other sources.

There are many ways we can do this, but at the very least we can begin by shutting off power to our bedroom.  </p><p>One particular reason to avoid RF radiation exposure during pregnancy is that an embryo or fetus may not be fully protected by amniotic fluid for extended periods of time due to the natural movement of the embryo or fetus within the womb.  </p><p>Secondly, the pelvic structure promotes deep RF radiation penetration and that radiation can be absorbed within the developing embryo or fetus.  Do not keep your phone on your lap.  </p><p>Consider this:  if you need to have a phone to stay in touch, or you need it to work &#8220;for a living&#8221;, ask yourself how much it&#8217;s contributing to your actual &#8220;living&#8221;? Many people have informed me how their lives have improved without a cell phone, but we&#8217;ve been programmed to believe the opposite. </p><p>2. Ground</p><p>Get outside and walk barefoot on the ground at a park, or by a body of water (water is an electrical insulator).  If you&#8217;re in the city, bring the Earth to you by drinking diatomaceous earth or bentonite clay.

More info on NADH can be found <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/how-to-treat-emf-radiation-part-2">here</a>.  I steep the bark overnight and then either drink the water first thing in the morning, or blend it into my smoothie along with some lemon juice and water before adding other ingredients, so that I don&#8217;t destroy the bark&#8217;s beneficial compounds (citric acid prevents oxidation).</p></li></ul><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!X2U4!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fad5097bc-77b8-418c-a987-72f7b9c3489a_640x360.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!X2U4!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fad5097bc-77b8-418c-a987-72f7b9c3489a_640x360.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!X2U4!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fad5097bc-77b8-418c-a987-72f7b9c3489a_640x360.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!X2U4!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fad5097bc-77b8-418c-a987-72f7b9c3489a_640x360.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!X2U4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fad5097bc-77b8-418c-a987-72f7b9c3489a_640x360.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!X2U4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fad5097bc-77b8-418c-a987-72f7b9c3489a_640x360.jpeg" width="640" height="360" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ad5097bc-77b8-418c-a987-72f7b9c3489a_640x360.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:360,&quot;width&quot;:640,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:107698,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!X2U4!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fad5097bc-77b8-418c-a987-72f7b9c3489a_640x360.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!X2U4!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fad5097bc-77b8-418c-a987-72f7b9c3489a_640x360.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!X2U4!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fad5097bc-77b8-418c-a987-72f7b9c3489a_640x360.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!X2U4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fad5097bc-77b8-418c-a987-72f7b9c3489a_640x360.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">left to right: Pau d&#8217;arco, chlorella, cilantro tincture (taken with my &#8220;dumb&#8221;

He maintains there may also be other unidentified respiratory pathogens affecting dogs right now.</p><p>I agree - the dogs have been interacting, with radiofrequency.

programs.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;As [space] flights got longer, doctors found that more and more apatite was lost from the bones, and that depletion of the bone&#8217;s calcium reservoir might affect the nervous system and muscular efficiency.&#8221;</p><p>Space osteoporosis may result from unnatural currents induced in bone by a spacecraft&#8217;s rapid motion through earth&#8217;s magnetic field, with a polarity reversal every half orbit.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Where else do polarity reversals occur all the time?</p><p>In our home wiring, which cycles 60 times per second (60 Hz) with electromagnetic pulses.</p><p>A common reason given of why astronauts lose bone mass is pinned on the lack of weight-bearing exercise under the presence of gravity.  However where does gravity come from?  </p><p>Where does anti-gravity also originate?</p><p>EMF.   </p><p>The electromagnetic force is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that&#8217;s one undecillion) times stronger than the gravitational force.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-23" href="#footnote-23" target="_self">23</a></p><p>EMF is the Sun of gravity&#8217;s planet.</p><p>With the number of low-orbiting satellites now exceeding one million<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-24" href="#footnote-24" target="_self">24</a>, what planet, and magnetic field, will we be living in?

However, our eyes contain other photoreceptors that do not see anything at all - they keep time.</p><p>These photoreceptors are <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/i/107636609/our-blue-light-detectors-melanopsins">melanopsin</a> and neuropsin.</p><p>Melanopsin processes the light around us as a non-visual signal, or timestamp, and sends this to our SCN. This in turn regulates our circadian rhythm &#8211; which dictates when we wake up, feel alert, hungry, and tired.</p><div class="pullquote"><p>&#8220;For many years people viewed the eye as if it were an old-style camera, without a light meter. The discovery of the first non-visual opsin, melanopsin (1998), identified the first light meter in the eye. &#8220;</p><p>Ethan Buhr, Research Professor, Johns Hopkins &amp; Cincinatti Children&#8217;s Hospital</p></div><p>Neuropsin is another type of photoreceptor that was only discovered recently (2009) to operate independently of the SCN. </p><p>A University of Washington study confirmed that when rod, cone, and melanopsin cells were removed from mice, their circadian rhythms continued, however researchers were surprised that their retinas were still responsive to light changes due to the presence of neuropsin.<a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/why-obesity-starts-in-the-eye#footnote-1-111244879">1</a></p><p>When neuropsin was removed, the mice lost all

Cytokines are proteins that fight pathogens by facilitating communication among the various types of cells in our immune system.</p><h3>Leptin: Our second domino falls</h3><p>When biotoxins from any source cause amplification of cytokines, they chronically elevate serum leptin levels.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a> </p><p>Leptin is chemically similar to a cytokine known as interleukin 6 (IL-6).  Leptin regulates our bodies&#8217; energy and metabolism.  High levels of leptin, along with IL-6, are strong predictors of obesity, lethargy, and weight gain.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6"

href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/how-to-treat-emf-radiation-part-1?">melatonin</a> and endorphins in the brain, which increases our perception of pain in all parts of our body.

One way to assess this is to get your alpha MSH levels tested at the same time as <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/complement-component">C4A. </a>*</p><p>When MSH levels are low, you may also become sleep disturbed because of damage to the parts of the brain that regulate sleep.
