The relationship between the earth's geomagnetic fields and sleep, maintenance and repair mechanisms.

W.O. Schumann a German physicist, discovered in 1952 that there is a resonant cavity between the earth's surface and the ionosphere containing a frequency modulated electromagnetic field in the spectrum from below 1 Hz to more than 100 Hz. Notice in the graph below that the dominant frequencies of these "Schumann Waves" is below 14 Hz. Notice below the distinct peaks in the Delta range heretofore mistakenly not "recognized" Schumann frequencies.

The Russian Space Agency discovered that Schumann- wave generators in space craft (formerly void of  fluctuating magnetic fields) improved the health and well being of astronauts on extended space voyages; especially effects upon bone density. N.A.S.A. included them in the design of the Space Station to fend off osteoporosis, muscle wasting and other effects of zero gravity during extended Station missions because it works. Studies show astounding anti-osteoporosis/bone wasting effects, yet the technology is sidelined for this purpose. See this paper that explains why it shouldn't be albeit nationalized healthcare programs designed to  push pharmaceuticals propelling their users into a "death-spiral" that lasts for years requiring more and more medications to cope with the effects of the previous ones. All prescription meds debilitate the mitochondria. Find me one that doesn't. I'd like to hear about it and then I'll update this paragraph.

We are describing a very narrow healthy frequency band where frequencies above 15 Hz have been shown in dozens of frequency specific animal studies to cause negative behavioral modification; above 20 Hz to cause stress hormone production. You'll notice that the highest amplitude peak in the graph is 7.8 Hz and is what most people mistakenly believe is "THE" Schumann resonance. In reality Schumann resonance is a SPECTRUM of frequencies with the majority of its amplitude below 15 Hz, and with peaks at 14.1 Hz, 20.3 Hz, and higher.

The graph at right is what Schumann spectrum looks like when not shielded from 60 Hz electrical wiring. Notice again the peaks in Delta-rhythm and that the amplitude of the 60 Hz wiring is far above any other frequencies.

What is remarkable is these fields overlay the stress-free human EEG almost perfectly. Notice again the peaks at about 1.5 Hz and 2.5 Hz within the Delta rhythm band (these are included in Sleep on Command™ sleep-mode programs). These low frequencies are what used to naturally help provide a fairly strong signal to "entrain" to during the nighttime, that particularly helped us to achieve Delta rhythm sleep. Now, you can visualize the analogy of hearing the flute solo withing the platoon of air-horns.

Equally important, the mitochondria (cell's power plants) respond particularly well to frequencies falling within this narrow frequency band (especially 10 Hz) and are debilitated (or worse by RF.) You may read the peer-reviewed research on the homepage that may have lead you here, but we'll save you the effort and list the most important ones immediately below. We've used 9.6 Hz since inception in 2001 and is our primary use frequency for sleep, recovery and longevity.

Research during 5 decades (much of it in former Soviet Union) conclusively showed that a 10 Hz field produced the most exceptional healing and tissue regenerating effects  in several dozen peer reviewed publications. In 2003 NASA discovered a 10 Hz field turned gene sequences (over 300 individual genes) for maturation -OFF- and for developmental -ON-. Further, it found a four fold increase in rate of neural tissue regeneration. It is also the frequency (9.6 HZ) of our RECOVER-MODE program I sleep in every night. RECOVER is used nightly by 25% of our clients.

In 2007 James Tong found 10 Hz TRIPLED nerve synapse energy and DOUBLED mitochondrial density at nerve synapses. In the linked chart (which may be enlarged by clicking on it) compare unstimulated control mitochondria (white circles) with 10 Hz stimulated (black circles) in upper and lower segments.

In  1989 David Hood found chronic (30+ days) 10 Hz stimulation increased two critical enzymes of cell respiration, citrate synthase and cytochrome c oxidase by factors of 3x. This would be consistent with our finding of improved oxygen metabolism by frequencies utilized by our Sleep on Command™ device.

These effects are diminished the further away from 10 Hz you get. Once you get to 1 Hz these effects are minimal (though sleep effects are significant). You can read the scientific documentation on 1 Hz signal and sleep in our Futuristic Sleep-Machine Now Reality piece  of 2006. Once you get to 5 Hz or alternatively 15 Hz the regenerating effects diminish to "just" a factor of two.  However, you must be cognizant that neurological effects at 15 Hz and above are detrimental.

The Schumann waves encircle the earth horizontal to the ground in a spectrum resembling the graph above, while 9.6 Hz resonates from the Earth's molten core perpendicular to the ground. Recent study into the workings of cells' mitochondria find that 10 Hz stimulation (see studies linked above) greatly enhances mitochondrial adaptation to both physical and neurological demands. 10 Hz even promotes mitochondrial replication and trafficking within the cell. 10 Hz tends to have the most profound sports performance enhancement.

It is no coincidence that pulsed magnetic fields at or around 10 Hz have produced BY FAR the best effects in dozens and dozens of published, peer reviewed studies; particularly those published by the Eastern Europeans circa 1970-1990. It should now be recognized that the phenomenal healing effects of 10 Hz are attributable to the mitochondrial response to that very particular frequency.

It is this Earth's-pulse that is the primary reason you sleep so well on camping trips. It's not the fresh air and exercise; it's sleeping in touch with Mother-Earth and receiving Her vital frequency of 9.6 Hz. which is a "cross-over" frequency from alpha-rhythm down into theta-rhythm. Until recently most camping was done outside of the wireless telecommunications "grid". Now even camping, unless you've got weak signal on your phone, you are well within the grid.

Sleeping close to or in contact with the ground is far better than sleeping at home several feet (or more) above it, with 50/60 Hz electric fields, and full strength radio frequency from telecommunications grid (and in-range wireless networks) permeating your bedroom and living spaces. Pretty bleak picture overall; and why you can expect your sleep to deteriorate even more with time, especially if HD TV broadcasting and large scale Wi-MAX is rolled out in your area.

Earthing or Earth-tethering systems attempt to address this problem and it is admittedly better than nothing. But for about the same price you can get an Earthing system on steroids....the Sleep on Command™ sleep, longevity and recovery system.

EMP is foreign to the body and up until the 1980's, AC power frequency (50-60 Hz depending upon your geographic location) and weak TV and radio station broadcasts was all that broadly existed; the body tolerated it fairly well.

However, EMP broke the tolerance threshold and detrimentally arrived on the scene with the arrival of home wireless telephones during the 80's (usually everyone had an extension in their bedroom next to their bed), then cellular phone networks arrived in the 90's and cellular now propagates within every urban area in the world with denser and denser layers of information. As stated above, since the cellular telephone roll-out, sleep quality has suffered. Each year as cellular becomes more dense, sleep quality will diminish along with it.

Wireless computer networks permeate our work and school (and in many cases our bedrooms) and with the combination of cellular and wireless networks, our species has reached the tipping point. We are now finding it difficult or impossible to quiet our mind at night and get a good nights sleep. Children diagnosed with ADD/ADHD are known to be poor sleepers.

Forget about what RF does to your sleep for the moment and lets consider species survival. Bee colony collapse disorder and sparrow population decrease is the proverbial canary in the coal mine so far as RF is concerned.

So is the marked deterioration of sleep quality in adolescent and infantile sleep quality (National Sleep Foundation / Pampers® surveycompleted in November '05 found that even babies and toddlers under  5 y.o. aren't sleeping nearly as well as they did 2 decades ago). Factor in the increased rate of ADHD and the STEEP increase in autism seen in the chart at right. Notice after a relatively stable 1-4 cases per 10,000 throughout history until 1980, the incidence curve turns straight up just about when the first cellular phone networks opened for business. The "official" incidence of autism is now 1:100, but based on the chart above it was 1:75 10 years ago and that chart-line is awfully steep.

It wouldn't surprise us they "cooked" the official number (like Wall Street) and that it is actually higher than 1:100. Here's the only study done on RF and Autism (back in 2003! when autism was 1 in 500). I'd bet my there are 5 times more cell phone masts or more since 2003.

It's getting worse and worse every day.  Remember there's lag time with cancer, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and the myriad of modern neurological maladies, which means we're seeing cancer rates today that started 5 years ago or more.

A reasonable person could argue steeply increased cancer incidence from 1:100 in the 1960's to 1:3 males and 1:4 females coincides well with the technological "advancements" in telecommunications. So as with ADD / ADHD, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and the myriad of modern neurological maladies. It is clear all around you. Its not just financial stress driving the average person "crazy". I'll be covering each of these issues and more in monthly issues of the ElectroMagnetic Times; the good, the bad and the ugly.

If you don't protect yourself you "simply" aren't being very intelligent. EarthPulse Sleep on Command™ is the most potent form of EMF protection on the planet and helps your body cope during the day with naturally produced, higher levels of healthy energy. Even if you sleep great and aren't interested in enhancing physical or mental performance levels, protect yourself at the subcellular level with EarthPulse™.

With our rebate plan and 90 day guarantee, EarthPulse™ won't cost you a thing whether or not it works. When it works (94% statistical probability) its PRICELESS. It's the best "bet" on planet Earth.

There are very simply, NO safe levels of radiofrequency (RF)

There are NO safe levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields above the frequency of 15 Hz  due to their negative effect upon the neurological system. Dozens of peer reviewed research studies (see frequency specific animal studies) showed animals exposed chronically to frequencies above 15 Hz resulted in detrimental behavioral changes and above 20 Hz stress hormone production. Once nearing power frequency transmission at 50/60 Hz the mitochondria become severely debilitated and cancer likely results over time. Watch this video start to finish and you'll recognize just how bad the threat of radiofrequency (RF) is to your health.

The neurological system is the most sensitive antenna ever devised, and the mitochondria inside every cell of the body including the neurological system may be more sensitive than that. Professor Photios Anninos discovered he could beneficially affect Epilepsy and Parkinson's patients with fields in the PicoTesla range. All you have to know about PicoTesla is that it's about 500 times weaker than Earth's natural magnetic signal. The key here is that Anninos uses a frequency in the 7 Hz - 10 Hz range. Dr. Reuven Sandyk re-proved Anninos discovery through 90+ peer-reviewed studies using 8 Hz frequency in the same PicoTesla range.

RF not only impairs the cells' mitochondria destroying your power generation system, it acutely impairs brain's ability to reach deep, Delta-rhythm sleep where cellular repair occurs most efficiently. It upsets the natural resonation (think of it as de-tuning an engine) of the mitochondria, debilitating the cellular energy pool so even when you do finally get to sleep, the energy "pooling" is minimized.

Under this condition the body lacks sufficient energy required for repair, regeneration, immune function and hormone synthesis.  So, you are not only sleeping poorly and suffering from lack of sleep, you are also de-tuning the cellular power-plants and your body deteriorates allowing any number of disease states to take over the cells.

I propose that all disease is related to mitochondria dysfunction due to insufficient daily repair. Trauma repair is directly related to mitochondrial energy production and over 5 decades in dozens of studies, the 10 Hz clinically applied stimulation studies provided the very-best results in all.

Some background on natural EEG rhythms.

Beta frequencies lie above 12 Hz and when you are in active thought process with no stress you're brain-wave signature is predominated by 12 - 14 Hz low-Beta-rhythm.  Beta frequencies, 12 to 14 Hz, are “normal” predominant rhythms that occur during concentration. Frequencies above lower-mid-Beta occur when agitated or fearful. If you are in fight-or-flight, then you are in the mid to high-Beta-rhythm brain state.

The mid to high Beta-rhythm brain state is required for human survival and has some physiological benefits, but excessive exposure to these higher brain frequencies (at the expense of frequencies at 14 Hz and below) is not healthy, and cumulatively cause stress related health effects including poor sleep and increased production of stress hormones.

If you are stuck in a mid to high-Beta brain state then you cannot sleep and you cannot heal or maintain hormonal homeostasis (cortisol levels soar). To maintain robust health, quality of life, bolster immunity and have a positive outlook on life, then deep sleep and avoidance of  mid-high Beta-rhythm states are mandatory.

Alpha frequencies lie between 8 and 12 Hz and predominate when you are relaxed, calm, and in a meditative state.  Theta frequencies lie between 4 and 8 Hz and predominate during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Theta can predominate when in awakened states under certain circumstances. Some say one experiences dream-like mental imagery and creativity during Theta-rhythm predominance.

States of deep sleep are called Delta-rhythm and lie below 4 Hz. There are strong relationships between hormonal response, healing, and immunity when Delta-rhythm predominates during deep sleep.  This is also when energy demand for supporting the body is at its lowest. Heartbeat slows, breathing slows, brain activity is minimal; therefore Delta-rhythm sleep is the only time body can concentrate most of its energy production on its physiological and neurological recovery and maintenance activities.

Notice in the graph above that the most dominant Schumann waves lie under 14 Hz which correlate with low-Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta brain states -or- active thought process, calm, relaxed, light and then deep sleep respectively. Notice too that amplitude (signal strength) in Delta-Theta  is greater than the Alpha-Beta in each of the Schumann charts shown or linked to. This is not coincidental correlation; it is the way nature keeps us psychologically and physiologically in balance and able to shut our brains down at night, while remaining relatively stress free and focused during the day.

Entrainment occurs when our mind-body state locks into the rhythm of an external oscillator (like the EarthPulse™). The external oscillator is either undesirable EMP (causing stress and poor sleep) or the beneficial Schumann and geomagnetic field frequencies (which are simply too weak for the body/brain to "hear" through the EMP.

Normally the brain structure called the thalamus controls our brain waves. Either Schumann resonances and geomagnetic fields or EMP are ‘picked up’ by magnetite-bearing brain tissues in the thalamus and particularly the pineal gland (responsible for melatonin production our most important anti-oxidant due to its ability to pass the blood-brain barrier - its ability to protect DNA in body and brain - and its affect on the circadian-rhythm). During these intervals ENTRAINMENT occurs, the brain’s pacemaker is external: either the Schumann resonances & geomagnetic field (beneficial) or (detrimental) RF and power frequency electric fields. Unfortunately unless outside the grid, the later is the rule.

We were meant to be relaxed and meditative with natural-magnetic-fields being the pacer; but increasingly we are not because these natural fields have been lost beneath the higher amplitude of man made high frequency fields.

In November 2006 researchers at the U of Wisconsin described a method of using 1 Hz (Delta rhythm) transcranial magnetic stimulation to trigger slow way sleep. Earlier the same month the University of Lubeck, Germany  reported that 1 Hz transcranial electric  stimulation resulted in deeper sleep and improved memory consolidation. In contrast, a study published in -'08 January- through the prestigious Karolinska Institute and Wayne State University showed cell phone radiation delayed Delta -slow wave- sleep onset. Nighttime EEG recording of subjects exposed to externally applied Delta rhythm signals show enhanced slow wave sleep throughout the night.

In contrast to our somnogram, the U of WI tested effects of magnetic fields hundreds, if not thousands of times more powerful than ours. Their study had to be shut down because of overheating of the magnetic coil due to the prolonged activation of it.
