On this episode of The Whole View podcast, Stacy and I dive into some deeply nerdy physics topics with a very commonly asked question/concern: EMFs and 5G technology! So I invite you to buckle up and time travel back to high school level physics class with me. I summarize the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and, yes, we even dive into the detail of electron movements. I also review what the relationship between frequency and wavelength is and how we can identify different radiation types with these descriptors. We talk about the science of magnetic and electric fields, the spectrum of radiation rays, and where and how the energy levels of 5G technology fits in as a whole.

Spoiler alert: the summary is that the wavelengths that are used in 5G technology are not harmful to our health, and this has been proven again and again through decades of research. In fact, all radiation that is currently used in technology spanning from our computers, phones and even including our microwave cooking ovens, is all composed of non ionizing radiation, and is in no way harmful to our health in everyday doses. In fact, the wavelengths of radiation that we can see with our eyes on the visible spectrum (known as visible light) are 17,000 times greater in intensity than even the highest postulated 5G technology that has been proposed. Lastly, for those that are still concerned about the possibilities of this ever changing in the future, I want to assure you that the industry for EMFs and radiation is extremely well controlled and regulated. There are literally thousands of scientific studies and entire branches of science dedicated to informing the regulation of safe levels of radiation administered by technology products.

I am loving this AIP course and all the information I am receiving. The amount of work you have put into this is amazing and greatly, GREATLY, appreciated. Thank you so much. Taking this course gives me the knowledge I need to understand why my body is doing what it is doing and reinforces my determination to continue along this dietary path to heal it. Invaluable!
