Abstract

Overview

Living organisms have evolved amidst the natural electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of Earth, comprising atmospheric electricity, Schumann resonances, and the geomagnetic field. This study examines how these natural fields, alongside disturbances such as solar activity, influence human physiological processes controlled by the circadian rhythm.

Findings

• Light and Earth's EMFs are pivotal in controlling the circadian rhythm.
• Cyclic solar disturbances like sunspots and seasonal geomagnetic weakening directly impact health by disrupting the circadian rhythm and physiological functions.
• Disruption leads to increased inflammation, potentially causing fatigue, fever, and flu-like symptoms, particularly in vulnerable populations.
• Further explored are the mechanisms of EMF perception in humans involving entrainment, radical pair formation in retina cryptochromes, and paramagnetic magnetite nanoparticles.

Conclusion

Environmental factors including electromagnetic pollution from wireless devices, material shielding in modern construction, and local geomagnetic anomalies may impair the human body's natural ability to sense EMFs, thus exacerbating circadian disruption and disease progression.
