Abstract

This article explores the relationship between electromagnetic fields (EMF) and biological systems, focusing on the influence of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic frequencies (ELF), particularly Schumann’s resonance (SR) at 7.83 hertz. Cells and proteins may have evolved to take advantage of frequencies naturally present in the Earth’s EMF, potentially enhancing cellular energy levels and affecting resting membrane potential (RMP). Thus, changes in or absence of SR may have adverse effects on the functioning of the whole organism. Bioelectricity, independent of genes, has been shown to modulate health, suggesting the potential for using controlled application of EMF frequencies in treating certain types of cancer or conditions affecting the RMP.

  • Research indicates that human brainwave activity is highly dependent on the SR, implying a correlation between atmospheric electromagnetic frequencies and brain activity.
  • ELF, including SR, appears to modulate cellular calcium influx/efflux, likely via indirect mechanisms involving field-sensitive molecules or radical pairs that affect ion channel behavior which plays a critical role in cell signaling and regulation of various processes.
  • It can also trigger a cascade of molecular events that ultimately lead to the generation of action potential, affecting consciousness and behavior. The influence of atmospheric electromagnetic frequencies on human brainwave activity, modulation of cellular calcium influx/efflux, and potential effects on cellular energy levels and RMP highlight the significance of ELF in biological systems.
  • However, further research is required to fully understand these mechanisms and their implications for human health and well-being.

Keywords: Extremely low frequency electromagnetic frequencies; Schumann resonances; Bioelectricity; cell biology; electromagnetic fields; resting membrane potential; voltage gated calcium channels.

Plain language summary

  • This study looks at how very low-frequency electromagnetic fields – especially the Schumann Resonance at 7.83 hz – may affect our health. These natural frequencies come from the Earth’s atmosphere and may play an important role in how our bodies and cells work.
  • The research explores how these signals could influence the electrical activity inside our cells, including how ions like calcium move in and out. This process is essential for brain function, heart rhythm, sleep patterns, and overall health.
  • The study suggests that human cells may have evolved to respond to these natural frequencies. Changes in, or the absence of, these signals – such as when we’re exposed to artificial electromagnetic fields from modern technology – might disrupt important processes in the body. For example, the paper highlights evidence that some low-frequency signals may help stop cancer cells from growing or improve healing, while unnatural frequencies might do harm.
  • A key point is that our brain activity seems to align with Earth’s natural electromagnetic rhythms. This could explain why changes in these fields can affect our mood, sleep, or concentration.
  • The study also points out that future space missions should consider simulating these natural frequencies to help astronauts stay healthy outside Earth’s environment.
  • In short, this research helps us understand how our bodies interact with the invisible electromagnetic environment around us – and how both natural and man-made signals could influence our health in powerful ways.

Molecules of Emotion: Health-The Network of Mind IN the Cells

Chapter 9 of “The Molecules of Emotion” gets juicy. Dr. Pert says, on page 185

“The three classically separated areas of neuroscience, endocrinology, and immunology with their various organs-the brain; the glands; and the spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes are actually joined to each other in a multidirectional network of communication linked by information carriers known as neuropeptides.

“…it might make more sense to emphasize the perspective of psychology rather than of neuroscience, for the term psycho clearly conveys the study of mind, which encompasses but also goes beyond the study of the brain. I like to speculate that what the mind is, is the flow of information as it moves among the cells, organs, and systems of the body…the mind as we experience it is immaterial, yet it has physical substrate, which is both the body and the brain.”

Molecules of Emotion cover“The mind, then, is that which holds the network together, often acting below our consciousness, linking and coordinating the major systems and their organs and cells in an intelligently orchestrated symphony of life.  This view of the organism as an information network departs radically from the old Newtonian, mechanistic view where we saw the body in terms of energy and matter. But there is intelligence running things.  Intelligence in the form of information running all the systems and creating behavior.”

Creating behavior?  Now there is where I part ways with her.  My son, who is studying psychology believes our behavior is determined by chemicals in the brain. That makes him, and those who agree with him, materialists. Many people believe our behavior is pre-determined or determined, that there is no real choice or free-will.  Frankly, this seems to be the central debate as we are squarely in the high-tech age, moving from Newtonian materialism to Einstein quantum states where something we see only exists because we see it collectively.  It doesn’t exist in and of itself, by itself.

What do your intuition and experience tell you here?  How has your life unfolded?  My life has taught me that I create my reality and my body condition by the habitual feeling, beliefs, and thoughts that I run. So I check myself every day. It’s called mindfulness. While I am part of an agreed-upon collective mind field as I look out my office window at the snow-covered roofs, my individual perception, interpretation, feeling, and thought processes are chosen by me.  Am I kidding myself?  Am I just a puppet on a string? Or are we truly at choice?

It makes no sense to believe we’re puppets. Otherwise, our lives would all be the same and unfold in a gentrified fashion and have no meaning or differentiation. There is an observation! Many people’s live ARE gentrified because they are not acting on their power to choose; free will. It is possible to abrogate your rights in the universe and then your mind goes into default mode, programmed by your family, Facebook, and CNN and you are part of the herd mentality. There are a thousand ways to free yourself from that and uplift your mind. Follow your intuition.

While it’s true that in my personal life, death/change has been a constant around me, it’s not something I chose to happen; I’ve witnessed it happening to others first hand. The universe allowed it to occur around me for a reason or maybe I did. However, my individual choices are indeed the reason I find myself in my current situation. It’s all good.

My mind is run by my intuition 24/7 and always has been, for as long as I can remember. Personally, I feel like I live in a kaleidoscope. When others see static sameness, I see and feel minute details of an ever-changing landscape of colors, vibes, temperatures, shapes, dimensions, and souls coming and going. Even sitting still, I feel in my body that life around me on earth is a dance of changes in light and shadow and I interpret them as quickly as I can and respond.
