Bioelectromagnetics, health and well-being : research

In this section we bring you research on health issues relating to non-ionising electromagnetic radiation, categories by type of effect. Some of this will be quite new to you, and will include translations of other European papers. Here you will see that NIEMR can induce or trigger very similar responses to other environmental factors, and that the consequences of these factors acting in tandem must be taken very seriously.

The role of nitric oxide

This page of links has been put together because nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most important molecules in the body. Many processes depend upon it, are mediated by it, regulate it, or are influenced by it. It must be one of the most popular molecules for research right now. What is particularly interesting is that the production (or synthesis) of NO in the body is affected by electromagnetic radiation. Moreover, if you were to disturb NO synthesis deliberately, you would probably stimulate the same list of effects as we see in electro-hypersensitivity, even motor neurone disease, fibromyalgia and cancer. All the concerns over permeability of the blood-brain barrier, to calcium efflux and sleep disorders have links right back to nitric oxide. These links have been developed from researching the connection between effects from EMFs such as found throughout the other links pages, and nitric oxide.

That, if nothing else, makes NO well worth looking at.

Healing

Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF ir diapulse) are used everywhere for healing non-union fractures and intractable soft tissue injuries. This is well known and a great deal of work has been done since Robert Becker’s seminal work from the 1940s to the 1980s. The question is, how does it work? Two forms of stimulus work: pulsed EMF induces cell growth (and may also be harmful) while DC currents appear to stimulate regeneration through cell dedifferentiation. Interestingly, the nitric oxide link may again provide a clue.
