How will wearables impact your health?

Earlier this week, I addressed some of my concerns about wearables. And I have quite a few.

But I’d like to dive a bit more deeply into the health impacts of EMF, since they will likely override and obscure the purported health benefits of wearables.

Expect to hear a chorus of “experts” chanting “there is no conclusive evidence.” And then consider how their “evidence-based” system was designed to provide cover for lucrative industries and government agendas in the form of plausible deniability. Instead, look for patterns and pay attention to what your body tells you.

Studies indicate the EMFs from wearable devices generate heat that can cause cell damage and impact sweat glands, eyes, testes and peripheral nerves. They can cross the blood brain barrier and interfere with neuron production, contributing to neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. EMFs can also cause arrhythmias and changes to blood pressure. And children are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of EMFs.

RFK Jr. knows this very well. Here he schools Joe Rogan about the harm caused by WiFi radiation:

WiFi radiation does all kinds of bad things, including causing cancer… I’m representing hundreds of people who have cell phone tumors… it’s always on the ear that you favor with your cell phone…

WiFi radiation opens up your blood brain barrier, so now all these toxins that are in your body can now go into your brain…There are tens of thousands of studies that show the horrendous damage of WiFi radiation.

You can read about science denial within industry and regulatory agencies here. More about the health impacts of wearables here, here and here. Or you can simply go to Settings > General > Legal and Regulatory > RF exposure on your iPhone:

To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free option, such as the built-in speakerphone, headphones or other similar accessories.

In other words, put distance between you and the device.

So what about First Do No Harm? How useful is a cardiac monitor that subjects your body to technology that produces the very irregularities that signal a heart condition? And do you really want this technology anywhere near your brain (where Charles Lieber wants to put it)?

Through the lens of Chinese Medicine

EMF damage is something Ross and I have been seeing in our practice for decades. Ross and his mentor, the late Leon Hammer, predicted the “radiation epidemic” back in 2009 when they published The Pulse, the Electronic Age and Radiation: Early Detection, which documented an alarming trend in pulse qualities that, until recently, had been limited to the elderly or people who had undergone radiation for cancer treatment.

Over the years, our population has been affected by a marked and rapid increase in toxicity from ordinary sources (environmental inhalant and contact toxins) and now from extra-ordinary sources (hydrocarbon based plastics). With the use of Contemporary Chinese Pulse Diagnosis we see the increased incidence of the Choppy quality—once rare and now common. Recently we have observed the sudden increase of another quality—Leather, associated with electro-magnetic radiation, also once rare and now common. This paper discusses the etiology (cell phones and wireless devices, iPods etc.), pathogenesis, diagnostic pulse signs, pathology and management (treatment) of this subtle yet pervasive toxin and especially the role of the pulse in the early detection of what we predict will be a “radiation epidemic.”

That radiation epidemic has arrived.

EMF Injury: The Next Generation of Silenced Sufferers

Within a few weeks of the installation of smart water meters, Diane was experiencing debilitating symptoms that drew the attention of neighbors in her building. She had started losing her hair and was visibly ill. One of them pointed out a closet with a number of newly installed smart water meters about 55 feet from her condo and suggested that they might be playing a role in her symptoms…

Sadly, Diane’s predicament is not an isolated one. A growing body of research links EMFs from smart meters to a variety of adverse health impacts as well as public safety, privacy and environmental concerns.

Unfortunately, EMF damage generally begins long before the symptoms arrive. Early health impacts are often vague and readily attributable to any number of environmental culprits in the pandemic of plausible deniability (since there can never be “conclusive evidence” when we’re all exposed to so many kinds of poisoning that create the same symptoms.)

So it’s on all of us to start thinking about dynamics and observing patterns.

Ross describes here, how the damage occurs from a Chinese medical perspective, and reveals itself on the pulse of the radial artery.

EMF Exposure and Fragility

Years ago, back in 2008 to be exact, I began finding an explosion of alarming sensations on the radial pulse of many of my patients. And, in particular, it was in the younger population, pre-teens, teenagers and patients up to roughly 40 years of age. Specifically, I was finding significant Ropy pulses and a quality we now refer to as Leather-Hard. Of the roughly 90 pulse qualities and sensations within the Shen-Hammer pulse lineage, Ropy was generally confined to the elderly and those engaged in long-term aerobic exercises, and the Leather-Hard was never found in kids. Thus, my interest was piqued and I knew this trend was significant…

Incidentally, iPhones were introduced in 2007.

Ropy is a reflection of long-term inflammation in the vessels (and blood), wherein the heat/inflammation begins to cook the blood, making it more viscous and dense/thick. The vessel walls of course rely upon the moisture of the blood to keep it supple and elastic, and the heat from the inflammation dries out the blood making less nutrition/nourishment available for the vessels, and also, in and of itself, dries out the vessel wall. This vulcanization creates what western medicine would call atherosclerosis.

In Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis terms we see multiple effects: (1) blood deficiency (diminished volume of blood as the heat consumes it); (2) yin deficiency (decreased moisture content, which also points to a hormonal deficiency as hormones are reliant on, and essentially are, fluids); (3) heat/inflammation (which damages the qi-energy, and also sets the stage for multiple cascades of diseases and disorders related thereto); (4) blood stagnation (blood becomes harder to move as the blood gets thicker and more viscous; (5) stagnation of other elements due to the increased viscosity which creates ‘stickiness,’ eg, allowing for the aggregation of plaques/cholesterol, etc; (6) increases in calcium buildup (inflammation is acidic and the body’s response is to leech calcium from the bones into the blood to alkalize it); (7) taxation on the heart due to its need to propel thicker more viscous blood, and blood that is stagnating (potentially clotting) with increased plaque/cholesterol and calcium buildups; and a host of other downstream effects.

Now, the Leather-Hard pulse reflects a state beyond, where all of the foregoing processes are taking place behind the scenes, and an additional element of dryness toxicity emerges. Imagine a wet sponge that has been sitting out in the blazing sun as it dries and dries until it becomes smaller in size and eventually hard and brittle. This is what is happening to our vessels from radiation toxicity. Radiation is a heat source; it has the impact and effect of burning the internal landscape and terrain. It is especially problematic as our physiological landscape contains by most accounts at least 70% water. Water is required for all of our phsyiological activities and a diminishment therein will have significant impacts on our health. And this is exactly what I was seeing in my patients. Weird chronic debilitating curious diseases and signs and symptoms that patients would complain about, and that western medicine had found no diagnoses or explanations for…

Importantly contemporaneous to the Leather-Hard and Ropy qualities we often see the Choppy quality. Choppy is the pulse quality associated to, and diagnostic of, blood stagnation in the tissues.

The Choppy quality when found in individual pulse postiions/anatomical areas is associated to blood being stagnant in those associated areas. When found over the entire pulse it is a sign of toxicity (toxins have the impact of stagnating the blood circulation, impacting oxygenation, creating waste products that cannot be excreted, etc.). This is significant in and of itself, but combined with the Ropy and Leather-Hard qualities, it represents a significant toxic overload and an inability to engage in proper physiological functioning. This is a scenario ripe for significant debilitating and life threatening illnesses.

(Pulses have generally gotten more Choppy since Covid, think microclotting and coagulapathies.)

So, clearly we can see how this can create fragility in our overall health picture from a physiological perspective. But, it also creates fragility in our emotional and psychological lives as well.

What we are looking at essentially is friability in our boundaries. In Chinese medicine, besides the regular anatomical organs, we also catalogue the Curious Organs, some of which include the vessels, the bones, the brain, etc. The Curious organs have significant roles physiologically, and also from an evolutionary perspective. Physiologically, we can see the impact of structure (bones), circulation and nourishment (vessels) and mental-emotional-phsysiological regulatory functions (brain/nervous system).

The brain and nervous system are very much related to our emotional and psychological health. The nervous system is intimately connected to the mind and the Heart from a Chinese medical point of view, and from the Shen-Hammer lineage, the integrity of the nervous system is one of the most important factors in understanding whether a stress (something that disturbs homeostasis) will have physical or mental-emotional implications. If the nervous system is strong, the stress will be somatized creating physical symptoms. If weak, one is more likely to experience mental-emotional-psychological symptoms.

So, what does this have to do with the Leather-Hard pulse? Our nervous systems are in many respects a front-line defense mediating, amongst other things, our relationships to the external environment. The constant onslaught of stress weakens the integrity of said nervous system, and due to its intimate relationship to the mind, creates demand and triggers a response from our psychological well-being and homeostasis. With a constant barrage of insults, nervous system integrity degrades and becomes weaker if the internal landscape is not well equipped with adequate resources to meet the ever present demands on it. We’ve already detailed above how the Ropy and Leather-Hard pulses are a direct reflection of significant diminishment of said resources. Thus, once these qualities are emerge, we are woefully ill-equipped to handle the demands being placed upon us: physically and emotionally.

We see the qualities and patterns Ross describes regularly in our practice, especially over the last 5 years. The Covid era amplified these patterns because constant exposure to EMF’s primed our bodies for maximum harm by burning up our resources, overstimulating our nervous systems and leaving us vulnerable to hyper inflammatory reactions, coagulopathies and a whole cascade of symptoms.

In a number of circumstances Ross has been able to determine, based on pulse findings, where someone tends to carry their phone on their body. This shows up long before any formal diagnosis is made, and generally years before breast and prostate problems (for example) are recognized through conventional medical routes.

Listen here and decide if you think these people are thinking about your health.

… it has an antenna and some sensors embedded in it. What we plan to do is we plan to work with them (MC10) to advance a tattoo that can be used for authentication. Now it may be true that 10-20 year olds don’t want to wear a watch on their wrist, but you can be sure that they’ll be far more interested in wearing an electronic tattoo, if only to piss off their parents…

You could also imagine including authentication in just your daily habits. So I take a vitamin every morning… what if I could take vitamin authentication?… This pill has a small chip inside of it with a switch. And the switch goes on and off. And it creates an 18 bit ECG light signal in your body and essentially your entire body becomes your authentication token…

It means that my arms are like wires, my hands are like alligator clips. When I touch my phone, my computer, my door, my car, I’m authenticated in…

This is not science fiction. This pill is actually made by a company called Proteus, and they’ve developed it for medical applications. That pill has been CE stamped and cleared by the FDA.

Start thinking NOW about how you’re going to opt out and seek other ways to gain insight into your own health. We’re not helpless and there are so many ways we can change our diets and lifestyles to protect ourselves and reverse the damage that EMFs cause. (I’ll explore this in an upcoming post.) But first, let’s recognize the harm.
