SOME EFFECTS OF ELECTRIC CURRENTS ON HUMAN RESPIRATORY MOVEMENTS
HAROLD NEIFELD, M.D. · 1935
Electric currents measurably affected human breathing patterns in 1935, proving EMF bioeffects decades before wireless technology.
Plain English Summary
This 1935 study by Neifeld examined how electric currents affected human breathing patterns, investigating both galvanic treatment and diathermy applications on respiratory movements. The research represents early scientific investigation into how electrical exposures directly influence basic human physiological functions. This work provides historical context for understanding how electromagnetic fields can affect vital bodily processes.
Why This Matters
What makes this 1935 research particularly significant is that it documented direct physiological effects from electrical exposures nearly nine decades ago, long before our current ubiquitous EMF environment. The science demonstrates that researchers were already observing measurable changes in respiratory function from electric currents, establishing a foundation for understanding EMF bioeffects that predates modern wireless technology by generations. The reality is that if electric currents could alter breathing patterns in controlled medical settings in 1935, we need to seriously consider what today's chronic, involuntary exposures from WiFi, cell phones, and smart devices might be doing to our autonomic nervous systems. This historical research reminds us that electromagnetic bioeffects aren't a new discovery but have been documented for nearly a century.
