Die bioklimatologische Bedeutung des elektrostatischen Gleichfeldes / The Bioclimatological Importance of the Constant Electrostatic Field
G. Fischer · 1973
Natural electrostatic fields boost metabolism and immunity, while complete electrical shielding may actually harm health.
Plain English Summary
Researchers in 1973 studied how artificial electrostatic fields affect animal physiology and found that positively charged constant fields increased liver activity, oxygen consumption, and immune system readiness. When animals were shielded from these fields in Faraday cages, the opposite effects occurred. The study suggests that natural atmospheric electrical fields may play an important role in maintaining health and metabolism.
Why This Matters
This early research reveals something profound that's often overlooked in our EMF discussions: not all electrical fields are harmful. Fischer's work demonstrates that our bodies have evolved to depend on natural atmospheric electrical fields for optimal function. The fact that shielding animals from these fields actually harmed their health suggests we need constant electrical exposure - just the right kind. This creates a nuanced challenge in our modern world. While we're rightfully concerned about artificial EMF from wireless devices, we can't simply shield ourselves from all electrical fields without consequences. The key distinction is between the natural DC electrostatic fields our bodies expect and the pulsed, modulated RF radiation from modern technology that delivers entirely different biological signals.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study.
