Influence of electromagnetic fields on the circadian rhythm: Implications for human health and disease
Abstract
Overview
Living organisms, including humans, have evolved under the influence of the earth's natural electromagnetic fields (EMFs), which consist of the global atmospheric electrical circuit, Schumann resonances, and the geomagnetic field.
Findings
- The circadian rhythm, essential for various physiological functions, is influenced not only by light but also by EMFs.
- Seasonal changes and solar disturbances like sunspots may disrupt the circadian rhythm, potentially leading to health issues.
- Disruption in circadian rhythm can increase inflammation, causing symptoms like fatigue and fever, and exacerbating conditions in vulnerable populations.
- Electromagnetic pollution from sources such as wireless devices and satellites further disrupts circadian rhythms.
- Possible biological mechanisms include entrainment through electromagnetic waves and radical pair formation influenced by light.
Conclusion
Understanding and mitigating electromagnetic influences, including pollution, is critical for preventing the circadian rhythm disruptions that contribute to disease.
