Do you have electromagnetic hypersensitivity from MTHFR?
EMF also known as (electromagnetic – frequency) & EMR also known as (electromagnetic – radiation) is the end result of using electricity, producing electric and magnetic fields that we are all exposed to in modern society.
EMF & EMR exposure causes serious health problems for many people every day. Often without knowing why and for those with MTHFR gene mutations this represents an even bigger problem.
People with MTHFR gene mutations such as C677T and or A1298C. Often have problems with EMF & EMR as a result of a reduced ability. To protect their health against electromagnetic radiation. This can ultimately lead to a condition known as electromagnetic hypersensitivity.
What is Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity?
Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is a condition where individuals experience a variety of symptoms that they believe are caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). EMFs are areas of energy waves produced by electricity flowing through wires or devices that are turned on. The symptoms of EHS can vary widely among individuals, but common complaints include headaches, fatigue, dizziness, skin problems, sleep trouble, and difficulty concentrating. While the exact cause of EHS is not fully understood, some researchers believe that it may be related to the body’s sensitivity to EMFs, which can affect the nervous system and brain cognitive function.
Understanding Electromagnetic Fields
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are invisible areas of energy associated with the use of electrical power and various forms of natural and man-made lighting. Often referred to as radiation, EMFs are typically grouped into two categories based on their frequency: ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, resulting in chemical changes, while non-ionizing radiation has less energy and does not have enough power to remove electrons from atoms. The electromagnetic spectrum includes all types of EMFs, ranging from low-frequency, long-wavelength forms to high-frequency, short-wavelength forms.
Problems MTHFR’s have with Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity
MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) is a genetic mutation that affects the body’s ability to process folate and other essential nutrients. Some research suggests that individuals with MTHFR mutations may be more susceptible to the effects of electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). This is because the MTHFR mutation can impair the body’s ability to detoxify and process environmental toxins, including EMFs. As a result, individuals with MTHFR mutations may experience more severe symptoms of EHS, such as headaches, fatigue, and skin problems.
Symptoms of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity
The symptoms of electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) can vary widely among individuals, but common complaints include:
Headaches
Fatigue
Dizziness
Skin problems
Sleep trouble
Trouble concentrating
Memory problems
Mood changes
Anxiety
These symptoms can be triggered by exposure to EMFs from a variety of sources, including cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, household appliances, and power lines.
Environmental Health Concerns
Exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) has raised concerns about potential health effects, particularly in the context of occupational and environmental medicine. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” and some studies have suggested a possible link between EMF exposure and health effects such as cancer and neurological damage. As a result, it is essential to take steps to minimize exposure to EMFs, particularly in the workplace and at home. This can include using shielding materials, reducing the use of EMF-emitting devices, and following safety guidelines for EMF exposure.
Problems MTHFR’s have with electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic hypersensitivity
If you have already tested your self for mthfr gene mutation/s. But you are likely already aware that stress plays a big part in your ability to preserve methyl groups. To ensure your methylation is working properly to help you maintain good health.
The problem is that EMF & EMR which we are all exposed to at very high levels. But has a major effect on a person stress exposure. These exposures include extremely low frequency exposures from power lines and household appliances, which can contribute to the overall EMF burden on the body. As your body works much harder to protect your cells from radiation poisoning. Because of this often contributes significantly to the depletion of those essential nutrients. That we need to protect our health through methylation.
Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a state where the body becomes more sensitive to electrical fields which are emitted from all electrical devices. Those with MTHFR gene mutations have much less defense against EMF radiation and should consider EMF protection devices to complement their nutritional support program.
Symptoms of electromagnetic hypersensitivity
People can experience EMF & EMR sensitivity differently and the intensity varies depending on your body’s defenses and or how much exposure you have had over what period of time. These symptoms are often similar to those experienced by individuals with idiopathic environmental intolerance, a condition where non-specific symptoms are triggered by various environmental factors. Generally, symptoms are similar to long term low radiation poisoning, here are the most common symptoms:
Mild to severe headaches
Nausea
Eye irritations
Skin Rashes
Facial swelling
Chronic fatigue
Joint pains
Buzzing or ringing in the ears
Breathing difficulties
Irregular heartbeat
Balance problems
Paralysis
Poor memory/concentration
Seizures
MTHFR & non ionizing radiation
MTHFR gene mutations cause problems with the utilization of certain nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids that are normally responsible for protecting the body from radiation in general. These include extremely low frequency EMFs from power lines and household appliances, which are prevalent in everyday life and can contribute to the overall EMF burden on the body. The levels of EMF radiation that we are exposed to now, compared to say 100 years ago is literally 100 million times stronger, this puts those with the mthfr conditions at much greater risk of EMF toxicity.
Some of the greater dangers for those with mthfr that are exposed to EMF radiation, is that electromagnetic radiation causes an increased risk in many of the “already at risk” problems caused by mthfr deficiency such as:
Known EMF & EMR disease causes that relate to mthfr
Increased risk of heart disease
Arteriosclerosis
Increased cholesterol
Increased blood pressure
Development of blood clots
Increased risk of stroke
Lowered immunity
Insomnia (through melatonin reduction)
Reduction in T cells
Increased risk of cancer
Viruses (from lowered immunity)
Autoimmune diseases
Parkinsons disease
Alzheimers disease
Lou Gering disease
Protecting your health from EMF exposure & EMR radiation
Many people take it for granted that we have electrical devices and most assume that they don’t affect our health simply because you can’t see radiation doing damage to their health. According to the National Cancer Institute, it is important to follow guidelines and take steps to minimize exposure to EMFs to protect your health. But those with MTHFR gene defects are more exposed to the effects of the high levels of EMF radiation that is all around you right now.
Think about it for a moment, how many electrical devices are you exposed to every day, anything from power lines, mobile phones, your computer, your house, your car, your workplace and hundreds of other possible places of EMF exposure.
If you have MTHFR gene mutations or you suspect that you may be electro-sensitive based on any of the symptoms, get yourself an EMF protection device, protect your health against unseen radiation & support your body in preventing serious health problems.
