EMF in Personal Devices & Wearables

  • -These are the devices that travel with you everywhere-in your pocket, on your wrist, in your ears, and on your lap.
  • -Personal devices and wearables represent your most intimate EMF exposure because they're designed to stay close to your body throughout the day.
  • -Your smartphone radiates radiofrequency energy just inches from your brain during calls, your laptop emits magnetic fields directly onto your lap, and your wireless earbuds transmit Bluetooth signals inside your ear canals.

SHORT WAVE THERAPY IN PYOGENIC SKIN INFECTIONS

TIBOR DE CHOLNOKY · 1935

This 1935 study investigated using short wave (radiofrequency) therapy to treat pyogenic skin infections like furuncles (boils). The research represents early medical applications of electromagnetic fields, demonstrating that RF energy was being used therapeutically decades before modern concerns about EMF health effects emerged.

SHORT WAVE THERAPY IN PYOGENIC SKIN INFECTIONS

TIBOR DE CHOLNOKY · 1935

This 1935 study investigated using short wave radio frequency therapy to treat pyogenic skin infections, including furuncles (boils). The research examined whether RF electromagnetic fields could provide therapeutic benefits for bacterial skin conditions. This represents early medical use of RF energy, decades before concerns about EMF health effects emerged.

The effect of hyperpyrexia induced by radiation upon the leukocyte count

William Bierman · 1934

This 1934 study by Dr. William Bierman examined how radiation-induced fever (hyperpyrexia) affected white blood cell counts in humans. The research investigated the relationship between radiation exposure, elevated body temperature, and changes in the immune system's white blood cells. This early work represents some of the first documented research into radiation's effects on human blood cells.

A CLINICAL STUDY OF ARTIFICIAL HYPERTHERMIA INDUCED BY HIGH FREQUENCY CURRENTS

Francis W. Bishop, Charles B. Horton, Stafford L. Warren · 1932

This 1932 clinical study examined how high frequency electrical currents could artificially induce fever-like conditions (hyperthermia) in human patients. The research explored using radiofrequency energy as a medical treatment, similar to diathermy procedures. This represents one of the earliest documented investigations into how RF fields interact with human biology at therapeutic levels.

Therapeutic Applications of High Frequency Currents

Professor d'Arsonval · 1932

He defined high frequency current as an alternating current reversing several million times per second instead of 80 to 100. Therapeutic currents of 4 to 6 million reversals per second produced only warmth at high intensity and caused no sensation, pain, or muscle contractions even at 3 amperes. First clinical diathermy application in 1896 at Hotel Dieu showed convincing results, but the procedure took sixteen years to be adopted from Germany and Austria.
