Blue light is one frequency out of many in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Research indicates that blue light must be balanced with red & infrared light — and be absent at night — to be considered healthy for the body.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

Blue light is the highest-energy, shortest wavelength of the visible spectrum. In fact, it’s very similar to UV light.

Blue light is necessary to keep us awake and signal daytime to the brain. However, when blue light is present without sufficient red light, it becomes damaging to the body and brain.

Blue light is everywhere! Modern light bulbs have removed nearly all the red and infrared — leaving powerful blue frequencies to save energy costs.

This unbalanced blue light is extremely damaging to skin and eyes and disrupts hormone balance (such as dopamine, cortisol and adrenaline) throughout the body.

Perhaps blue light’s worst effect is its interference with sleep in the evening — an effect that strongly links to cancer.

By contrast, red and infrared frequencies are restorative for hormones, digestion, thyroid, and sleep — yet, these frequencies are almost entirely absent in modern society.

When Is Blue Light Good?

• When balanced (by red and infrared)
• Mid-morning to mid-afternoon
• From sunlight

During the day —and when balanced by lots of red/infrared — blue light is healthful and even necessary for proper circadian signaling.

Sunlight is perfectly balanced, with equal parts blue and red — and boasting four-times as much infrared.

In the proper context, blue light spurs digestion, hormone production, kills pathogens, and lowers daytime melatonin (to signal your brain to “be awake”).

We mustn’t avoid blue light entirely (nor could we), we just need to understand when and how it’s harmful.

When Is Blue Light Toxic?

In the wrong context, even smallish amounts of blue light become quite toxic.

Because the circadian rhythm is among the most important functions for overall health, any signal telling the brain to be active, awake, and stressed at night is actually a very bad thing.

When not balanced by red and infrared light — blue light harms the eyes (vision), disrupts brain chemistry, and impairs hormone balance.

The Worst Sources Of Blue Light

These sources of light are unhealthy in both daytime and evening.

• Virtually all LED light bulbs
• Fluorescent bulbs
• Screens — Smartphones, TVs, computers

Infantile Technology

The technology may be progressing at astronomical rates — particularly in the field of wireless radiation — but the technology is still in its infancy, with magnificent and far-reaching effects on society to come.

In the meantime, levels of “normal” exposure to wireless radiation have exploded.

The average city-dweller receives upwards of A MILLION times more wireless radiation than they did just 15 years ago.

It’s Virtually Untested

Being a rapidly-developing technology, safety testing in America is almost non-existent — and what little testing has been performed has been concerning.

Around the world, many other countries have performed more testing of wireless radiation, with increased levels of problematic results.

There have been hundreds of studies performed by the rest of the world — with the World Health Organization labeling wireless radiation a “group 2B possible carcinogen”).

A $25 million US federally-funded study in 2016 found links to cancer — even from relatively “low,” “normal” cell phone radiation. These levels might be considered laughably-low in today’s 4G and 5G world.

Wireless signals have been tested extensively in other countries, and with damning findings.

What is EHS?

(Electrohypersensitivity)

EHS is a common phenomenon in the CFS, MCS, and mold communities — nearly everyone with these ailments has EHS.

In treating CIRS, Dr. Deitrich Klinghardt now prescribes strict avoidance of EMF during the recovery phase.

EHS is also prevalent in the communications industry: I’ve personally spoken to six cell tower workers over the years. Of the six, 4 complained about symptoms of EHS.

EMFs Encourage Mold Growth

It is widely reported that mold grows extremely well in locations with high EMF (Electromagnetic Fields).

Chronic illness correlates with EMF sensitivity.

Get An EMF Meter

You can actually measure EMF levels using an EMF meter. Here’s my favorite affordable option:

EMFs Make Many Symptoms Worse

Symptoms of poor health nearly always worsen around high EMF levels.

EMFs have the ability to:

EMFs seem to stimulate, encourage, or provoke molds into excessive growth and even increased toxicity.  

Chronic illness sufferers usually need to drastically reduce or eliminate exposure to intense EMF, as well as seek daily refuge in natural spaces which are more free from EMF.

These efforts are not fruitless — they usually result in improvement of how people feel.

We don’t quite know the answer why, but most chronic illness sufferers seem to show at least some electro-hypersensitivity (EHS) — in addition to chemical sensitivity.

Indoor Toxin #1

Harsh Chemicals

VOCs

Most folks with chronic illness are extremely sensitive to harsh chemicals. In fact, chemicals seem to aggravate the Cell Danger Response.

According to the American Lung Association, VOCs (volatile organic compounds) can appear in the following products:

These compounds are biologically-active, meaning they affect the way your body works. It seems that the sicker we are, the more harmful these chemicals become.

Other Indoor Chemicals In Furniture, Carpet, and Products

New products are often doused with flame retardants and other chemicals.  This includes furniture, tools, automobiles, shoes, gear, and even new construction materials (especially laminated flooring, paints, etc).

Tips to reduce indoor chemical exposure:

• Expose new products to fresh air, sunlight, ozone, and UV light before bringing them into the house.  
• Air out rooms that contain new products.
• Don’t buy so many new products.

Glyphosate

The active ingredient in Roundup is increasingly being linked to cancer. Its maker, Monsanto, is increasingly fighting to keep the public from knowing about it, but the lawsuits are adding up.

In America, glyphosate is most likely present in significant quantities in conventional wheat products. Therefore, eat organic wheat instead of conventional.

My advice:

• Get wheat from organic sources — and never use Roundup near your house or at work, or without full bodily and breathing protection.

Indoor Toxin #2

Mold

Mold is turning into a first-world epidemic, and the problem is not going away anytime soon.

Mold exposure played a major role in my illness and recovery. There are real, concrete steps you can take to improve the health of your building or home. I suggest you learn as much as you can about the subject and act if required.

If this is a cause of your problems, you’ll need to address it quickly. I was in denial about the issue for many years. Looking back, I desperately wish I hadn’t ignored it.

Learn all about mold exposure.

The Mold section is about reducing your exposure to mold. It begins with Step 1: Awareness.

HVAC Systems

HVAC systems do not age well, becoming laden with microbial life within years of typical use.

Clean Outdoor Air Is Medicine

The cleaner the air you breathe, the better for your long-term health and recovery.

It can even greatly affect how energetic you feel.

Harmful industrial zones (and even city centers) can make a health recovery more difficult.

Living downwind of polluted city centers, factories, or sanitation zones also potentially problematic.  

Bad Outdoor Air Makes Buildings Sick

Potentially the worst effect of polluted outdoor air is that it makes indoor air become even worse.

In the modern world, indoor air is becoming increasingly trapped — and pollution outside will eventually work its way inside.

Living downwind from sources of pathogens — such as garbage processing, water treatment, and industrial areas can lead to pathogens spreading and affecting air quality in surrounding areas.

At some point in your life, moving to a less-polluted area may be just what you need to feel your best.

Begin the process of healing now.

By the time you find a better environment to live in, you’ll have developed countless habits and skills that will serve you in your new, safer space.
