Artificial Blue Light

Unbalanced. Unhealthy.

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

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

The “light” spectrum encompasses all colors of light — as well as many more invisible frequencies. The wavelengths of light that hit your skin and eye matter greatly for your health.

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! Our 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. Blue light’s worst effect is that it interferes 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 entriely absent in modern society.

When Is Blue Light Good?

• When Balanced (by red and infrared)
• Mid-Day
• 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 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”).

When Is Blue Light Toxic?

• At Night
• When Unbalanced

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 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

Reduce Exposure To

EMFs

Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMF) are a growing concern among health advocates — for good reason.

Infantile Technology

The technology is progressing at astronomical rates — particularly in the field of wireless radiation — and the levels of normal exposure have exploded.

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

It’s Virtually Untested

These levels have been entirely untested by American scientists (although there have been hundreds of studies performed by the rest of the world — with the World Health Organization labelling wireless radiation a “group 2B possible carcinogen”).

There was a $25 million US federally-funded study in 2016 that found some links to cancer — from relatively “low,” normal cell phone radiation. Levels which 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. However, there seems to be little incentive to test the tech in the US.

EHS — (Electrohypersensitivity)

EHS is a common phenomenon in the CFS, MCS, and mold communities — nearly everyone has it. In treating CIRS, Dr. Klinghardt now prescribes strict avoidance of EMF during the recovery phase.

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

I have dealt with deep electro-hypersensitivity (EHS) for many years, myself. I have been able to actually feel the effects of wireless radiation (as well as some electric and magnetic fields). As I’ve improved, this extremely sensitivity has also improved. It takes much more radiation for me to feel the effects, now.

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. If you suffer from mold Illness, chances are you’re sensitive to EMF as well.  Taking common-sense steps to reduce EMF exposure can provide powerful relief of your symptoms and speed up the healing process.

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

Maybe it’s because EMF 1) dehydrates cells via calcium-efflux, 2) can cause blood sugar dysregulation and pre-diabetes, or 3) interferes with sleep. Perhaps it’s because EMFs seem to stimulate, encourage, or provoke molds into excessive growth and toxicity.  

Chronic illness sufferers usually need to reduce or eliminate exposure to intense EMF — and seek daily refuge in natural spaces (which are more free from EMF).

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.

Reduce Exposure To:

Indoor Toxins

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:

• Aerosol spray products, including health, beauty and cleaning products
• Air fresheners
• Chlorine bleach (I still use this sometimes)
• Detergent and dishwashing liquid
• Dry cleaning chemicals
• Rug and upholstery cleaners
• Furniture and floor polish
• Oven cleaners

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. They become laden with microbial life within years of typical use. Have your HVAC system inspected and the evaporator coils cleaned every 6 months. When the chance arrises, ditch the HVAC system for ductless mini-splits — which still must be fully serviced every 6 months by a professional.

Reduce Exposure To

Outdoor Air Pollution

Clean Outdoor Air Is Important

Living near harmful industrial zones (and even some city centers) can actually make your recovery harder. The cleaner the air you breathe, the better.

Living downwind of polluted city centers, factories, or sanitation zones can affect your health.  

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.

The risks associated with exposure to emissions from wastewater treatment plants are currently uncertain and require more research, stronger regulatory frameworks and safer design consideration. Known toxic compounds, bacteria, fungi, endotoxins and viruses have been observed near Waste Water Treatment Plants…”

URBAN AIR POLLUTION:  WASTEWATER TREATMENT SOURCES AND IMPACTS ON AGRICULTURE.  2017.  PIQUERAS, PEDRO.  UC-RIVERSIDE.

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, and by the time you find a better environment to live in, you’ll have developed a long list of habits and skills that will serve you immensely well.
