Introduction

Let’s start with this: Essentially, given enough power, it is possible for any frequency generated to have an affect on the body. We have fallen under the illusion that we are invincible to most of the EMF that is generated around us in our every day lives. As an example, most people do not even think twice about exposure to the EMF generated by cell phones and power lines. However during a study evaluating the source of some of the pain felt by amputees it was found that two of the sources could be linked to electromagnetic fields generated by power lines and cellular phones. 

The Big Mistake – Incorrect Research Foundations

A lot of research has been performed on the body using signals much higher than are actually required. And for years we have been advised that this incorrect information is the foundation required for signals to interact with the body! In fact, the best way for a signal to penetrate the body is for it to have been formed and applied in a way that is most natural with the body (which ultimately uses the least amount of energy)! Here is an introductory article for you to review, “Interaction of Radiation with Matter“.

Most people believe that the body is resilient to externally applied RF signals, and that for these signals to have an effect on the body they would need to have a high level of intensity.  This is due to that earlier studies focused on high-powered hydro systems and other sources of repetitive pulses – and studies continued to be based on, expanding on, their findings. However, presenting the body with a large voltage or signal that it is not compatible with it is equivalent to lightning striking a household hydro source forcing the television on and the lights to flash brightly. This is because the signals are presented to the body in a way that is not aligned with any naturally occurring biological signals – requiring these high voltage signals to be of high intensity – to force their way into the body. But as you will read below, the body can be easily affected by ultra-weak signals when they are generated in the way the body is expecting them.

EMF Interaction With The Body

On prior pages we noticed that electromagnetic signals are used by cells and organs to intercommunicate and function with one another in complex organisms. Your nervous system transmits electromagnetic signals throughout the body. Because your biology does not generally change (body stays the same), then the paths these signals travel on generally stay the same, and these signals are generated in the same way (thus at the same frequencies). And, as our bodies are essentially shaped the same, and work on the same principles, then devices such as pacemakers can work reliably for pretty much anyone they are installed in.

It is also known that any device capable of generating and conducting electrical signals can also receive them – like an antenna!  Here is a great website that describes how antenna’s function. Therefore it should be no surprise to learn that the human body is able to ‘receive’ signals – just like an antenna! Here is an article describing how scientists used a device to measure the voltage on the skin induced by electromagnetic noise present in everyday homes, to allow them to monitor whole body gesturing and track location for a video game system.

In what I’ve read, I believed the body acts like a dipole antenna, but I have also found evidence that it might more closely operate like a mono-pole antenna. Here is a document describing how the spinal cord can act as a natural receptor antenna for incident electromagnetic waves and investigates their possible impacts on the central nervous system. Home researchers are also investigating this – I found this blog written by a Ham Radio enthusiast that looked into using the body as a Ham Radio antenna!

Here are some articles relating to this research:

Therefore, combining the above, if you wanted to inject a signal into the body and have it interact with a specific organ, you’d need to consider that some frequencies can penetrate deeper into bio-matter than others. To help illustrate this, I suggest you go to this website, where you will be able to select various tissues and organs, and see how they react to various frequencies. While there, check out the brain – you’ll notice that the higher the frequency, the less power is required to induce an electrical effect. Here is an article that outlines the effects that the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum have on the body. Considering this, the signal would need to be formed in such a way as to penetrate the body and focus directly on the organ (lots of power required) – OR – it would need to be generated in such a way as to be received by a large part of the body (skin?), re-transmitted to another part (nervous system), and formed in a way to be interpreted by the intended organ.

Humans Are Susceptible To, And Can Detect, Low Intensity Magnetic Fields And EMF Signals

Consider that we are totally immersed in the Earth’s magnetic field, flowing through our body just as it does with almost every other object on the Earth. Our bodies evolved considering this, and are electric in nature so we should not be shocked to hear that we are able to detect it (perhaps not consciously) [Sources: PHYS ORG, Science Mag, Science Alert!, Popular Mechanics, The Guardian, Live Science, Science News, The Conversation]. In fact, studies have shown that we slow down and make more mistakes when it is not present! This makes sense as humans evolved with this field being present – it is therefore logical that our bodies would leverage this field to its advantage. And experiments have proven that we are susceptible to magnetic fields having less intensity than that of the Earth [Sources: Frontiers In Neural Circuits, 1985 CNN Special Report]. I offer this paper, which outlines how this field is used in nature. In this patent it is also noted that a pilot study was run where it was shown that temporary changes in brain waves and behavior were noticed when individuals were exposed to power densities lower than 0.000,000,000,001 Watt/cm2 – which is substantially lower than signals generated in our every day environment. The frequencies tested included 100 KHz to 960 MHz continuous and 8.5 to 9.6 GHz pulse-modulated waves.

This should concern you, is this is well below the voltages normally discussed when reviewing the effects electrical signals, present in our every day environment, have on people. The signal only need be well formed for an excessively weak signal to have an impact on the body.

  • The body is effectively transparent to low frequency waves.
  • As you move upward through microwaves and infrared to visible light the absorption rate increases (bio-matter is non-linear).
  • In the lower ultraviolet range, all the UV from the sun is absorbed in your skin.
  • Your body becomes transparent again up into the X-Ray region of the frequency spectrum.
  • If electromagnetic energy is absorbed by the material, but the material cannot eject electrons from the atoms, then it is classified as non-ionizing radiation, and will typically just heat the material.

When reviewing this knowledgebase article, it is important for you to be aware of the following:

  • Your body generates strong and weak electromagnetic signals, which can be received by the correct equipment – just like the radio stations that you tune in to with your stereo.
  • Just like your radio, some signals are strong enough to be picked out of the background noise, while others fade into the static.
  • Technologies exist that can boost extremely faint electromagnetic signals and filter out the background noise, making it possible to ‘receive’ low power signals. Kind of like an antenna signal amplifier which provides the ability for you to tune in to stations that are farther away than you would normally be able to.

For an externally applied electrical signal to have an effect on the body, it must be of a specific intensity (power), and have a specific duration (length of time that the signal is active).

We can use the duration to calculate the signals frequency (cycles per second) for any signal.

Electrical signals are directly interconnected with the principles of magnetism.

It is known that the application of electrical and magnetic fields can have an affect on people. Here are some articles:

Some individuals are very susceptible to EMF. Those severely affected have moved to remote communities that have banned wireless and cellular communications. It has been reported that it is estimated that between 20% and 30% of the population suffer from some sort of noise sensitivity, and at least 10,000 people now hear “The Hum”. And of course, some individuals would interpret the ‘noise’ as ‘voices’. Of course, from the test results come direction as to how to affect a human mind – the brain could be made to interpret electrical ‘noise’ as sounds / voices – and it seems to be controllable through the regulation of other brain areas.

Can The Body Be Affected By Externally Applied Signals / Magnetic Fields / Light?

Absolutely!

I like this example the best! “Researchers have been able to stimulate the brain using ultrasonic pulses applied externally to the body.”. In this example, they invoked involuntary movement by applying a combination of low power and low frequencies to enable the ultrasonic frequencies to easily penetrate the skull and stimulate brain cells. It works in that the ultrasonic waves temporarily force the cells’ voltage-gated sodium channels (special proteins that allow sodium ions to pass through the cells’ membranes) to open, which results in a localized change in the cell’s polarity from negative to positive. If the polarity change is strong enough then it will cause the cell to release chemical neurotransmitters and thereby induce similar voltage changes in other linked neurons resulting in a movement or other behaviors associated with the neuron. The test yielded results with the equipment located as far away from the body as 50 millimeters.

Going as far back as 1979, it was known that different parts of the brain operate at different frequencies, and could be manipulated via externally applied signals. Patents were made attempting to exploit this – just like this patent which uses a device that generates microwave signals that, when tuned into the auditory cortex, forces the body to interpret them as sounds. Of course, these signals can be transmitted via a simple antenna – so no physical touch is required!

The body is able to conduct magnetic signals! More recently, a device was made that can induce an electric field in the brain using radio signals (RF Signals).  In this example, a researcher induced an electric field in the brain with aim to help those suffering from neurodegenerative diseases.  He used highly focused antennas to generate the RF signals and used RF signals in the range 100-1000 MHz.  He noticed that the average electric field intensity in the brain has two local maxima at 300 MHz and 600 MHz. I have more articles regarding products that have been developed on this principle in my knowledgebase – like advertising billboards!

I was surprised to learn that bright light is transmitted completely through the brain. Read the article regarding the measurement of photon emissions and frequency-dependent modulation of spectral electroencephalographic power! This is highly interesting, especially considering that we know that the brain can be stimulated using light!  We have learned that our sensory experiences can be traced back to patterns of neurons firing in a sequence.  Scientists are working to determine how they can stimulate those same neurons to artificially create those same sensations.  Unfortunately this process is invasive, and scientists have to genetically modify neurons with photosensitive proteins so they can be manipulated by light – but this is an interesting approach that is worthy of reference.

A fair bit of research has been performed on how the body reacts to EMF, and how we can read EMF generated by the body. Due to the sheer number of articles please find that I have created separate knowledgebase pages for each of them:

As you can see from the knowledgebase articles above, there are many different technologies that can be used to generate stimulus on the body. I can also suggest you review this, rather interesting and informative website. While I am continuing to validate all of the articles, the ones that I have checked out are completely legit. They cover a lot of the technologies used to read biological signals, and provide an introduction as to how the body can be affected by electromagnetic frequencies.

By now it should be clear that the body can be affected by externally applied energy, whether by electromagnetic means, light, and even sound.
