How Can EMFs Affect Thyroid Health?

Once again, there is controversy when it comes to how EMFs affect our health. According to the oo! "#a$$ed%, which was written y Ann &ouise 'ittleman, % (tudies in rats have found that e)$osure to oth *+ H, and -++ MH, .cell $hones/ EMFs decrease the $roduction of thyroid hormone, a mar!er of hy$othyroidism%. (o $erha$s 0 should 1ust tell my $atients with hy$erthyroidism and 'raves2 3isease to use their cell $hones and com$uters more often? (eriously though, even though these studies were done on rats, there is the $ossi ility that fre4uent e)$osure to EMFs can affect the thyroid glands of humans as well. More research definitely needs to e done, ut for now it does ma!e sense to do everything you can to minimi,e your e)$osure to EMFs.

Melatonin bolsters your immune system in another critical way. It increases the antioxidant activity of two powerful chemicals, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase, that occur naturally. SOD, which is also an antiinflammatory, helps repair cells, specifically the damage they incur form the most common free radical in the bodysuperoxide. Recent studies suggest a link between low levels of SOD and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrigs disease, a fatal condition of the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord, leading to total paralysis and eventually death. Significantly, research has traced a connection between ALS and occupational exposure to EMFs. One study done by the Danish Cancer Society, found a clear association to this disorder. The missing link might be melatonin. To learn more about inflammation diseases. The pineal gland is also a supplemental source of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which the body uses to create thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The antioxidant hormone melatonin also stimulates TSH, creating thyroid hormones that control your metabolism. Its long been known that radiation zeroes in on the thyroid gland as though it were painted with a target. The reason: the thyroid needs iodine from the bloodstream to produce the hormones that regulate your energy and metabolism. But it cannot distinguish between normal iodine and radioactive iodine. It will absorb whatever is there, which is why every good radiation protection kit contains iodine tablets. After the 1986 nuclear accident at Chernobyl, exposed children started developing thyroid cancer sooner and in large numbers than scientists expected. The rate of thyroid cancer rose an astonishing 2400 percent! But in nearby Poland, where government medical officials distributed potassium iodine pills to protect residents from the airborne radiation from the meltdown, there was no corresponding rise in thyroid cancers. It will be interesting to hear what comes from Japans nuclear incident. There is evidence that even low-level radiation may have an effect on the thyroid. Studies in rats have found that exposure to both 50 Hertz (European electrical system) and 900 MHZ (cell phones) EMFs electromagnetic fields decrease the production of the thyroid hormone, a marker of hypothyroidism, which can cause fatigue, cold intolerance, depression, muscle cramps, joint pain, weight gain, low heart rate, and constipation. It can also adversely affect your cholesterol, elevating levels of bad cholesterol-LDL-that can raise your risk of heart disease. Melatonin is also one of the most highly potent antioxidants itself- five more times more powerful than vitamin C- which protects cells from DNA damage caused by free radicals. There is evidence that melatonin reduces the damage to blood vessels that leads to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), lowers cholesterol, and may help reduce risks of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimers by preventing the death of neurons (nerve cells that help carry messages throughout the bodys electrochemical communication system). There is persuasive evidence that, in both animals and humans, EMFs not far above the frequency of earths ambient EMF alter melatonin production. A german study focusing on residents who lived near a recently installed mobile phone tower detected lower levels of both melatonin and serotonin in blood samples taken from the participants when compared to smaples that had been taken before the tower was operational. IN fact, 84 percent of the study group had

massive decreases in serotonin and, not surprising, nearly all reported symptoms including depression, lethargy, listlessness, lack of appetite, and agitation. About 54 percent had lower levels of nighttime melatonin and suffered from sleep disturbances-most woke up between two and four am and had trouble getting back to sleep, problems similar to those reported by older people with naturally declining melatonin. They also reported feeling tired and unable to concentrate the next day.
