Biohacking the Dangers of EMF With Circumin Ameer Rosic Tuesday, May 20th 2014 Read Full Article
Electromagnetic fields, that is
Electromagnetic fields…What the hell is it? Electromagnetic radiation, in terms of classical theory, the flow of energy at the universal speed of light through free space or through a material medium in the form of the electric and magnetic fields that make up electromagnetic waves such as radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays. In such a wave, time-varying electric and magnetic fields are mutually linked with each other at right angles and perpendicular to the direction of motion. An electromagnetic wave is characterized by its intensity and the frequency ν of the time variation of the electric and magnetic fields. Electromagnetic radiation is the energy projected from the EMF’s. Just as there are good fats and bad fats for our body and good sugars and bad sugars for our body, so there are good/safe EMF’s and bad/harmful EMF’s for our body.
EMF can cause symptoms of illness. Yeah you heard that, this shit is a real DANGER!
EMFs may cause you to experience…
Sleep disturbances (1) Leaky Cells (2) Increase Free Radicals (3) Infertility (4)
Next question is...
Where the Hell does EMF radiation come from?
In your home – DECT cordless phones, hairdryers, vacuums, refrigerators, microwave ovens, irons, televisions (the flat panel TVs are much better than the old box-style TVs), main ring and lighting circuits, dimmer switches, electric blankets, electric razors, electric toothbrushes, WiFi, etc. In your office – computers, fluorescent or halogen lighting, fax machines, photocopiers, scanners, cell phones and WiFi. Outside – power lines (high voltage cables either overhead or buried in the ground), transformers (the gray cylinders raised up on poles that look like trash cans), electrical substations, cell phone towers, cities that provide citywide wireless Internet (WiFi) and electromagnetic radiation from near neighbors’ electronic equipment.
How to Biohack The Dangers of EMF? Say hello to Curcumin (Turmeric) Neutralizes free radicals which protect against cell damage, protects from detrimental effects of radiation by regulating cell division. Also reduces inflammation caused by radiation. Prevents and eliminates plaque in the brain associated with Alzheimer and can be caused from EMF radiation exposure.
How do you use Curcumin to Biohack EMF? You got two choices 1. Eat the real shit, as I do. I buy about 3 pounds a week for 20 bucks and slice and dice it on all of my foods. 2. Supplement it with Life Extension Super Bio-curcumin For all the Geeks, here is the study for this blog post. Abstract Background: Insufficient clearance by microglial cells, prevalent in several neurological conditions and diseases, is intricately intertwined with MFG-E8 expression and inflammatory responses.
Electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure can elicit the pro-inflammatory activation and may also trigger an alteration of the clearance function in microglial cells. Curcumin has important roles in the antiinflammatory and phagocytic process. Here, we evaluated the ability of curcumin to ameliorate the phagocytic ability of EMF-exposed microglial cells (N9 cells) and documented relative pathways. Methods: N9 cells were pretreated with or without recombinant murine MFG-E8 (rmMFG-E8), curcumin and anantibody of toll-like receptor 4 (anti-TLR4), and subsequently treated with EMF or a sham exposure. Their phagocyticability was evaluated using phosphatidylserine-containing fluorescent bioparticles. The pro-inflammatory activation of microglia was assessed via CD11b immunoreactivity and the production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and nitric oxide (NO) via the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or the Griess test. We evaluated the ability of curcumin to ameliorate the phagocytic ability of EMF-exposed N9 cells, including checking the expression of MFG-E8, αvβ3 integrin, TLR4, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) using Western blotting. Results: EMF exposure dramatically enhanced the expression of CD11b and depressed the phagocytic ability of N9 cells. rmMFG-E8 could clearly ameliorate the phagocytic ability of N9 cells after EMF exposure. We also found that EMF exposure significantly increased the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) and the production of NO; however, these increases were efficiently chilled by the addition of curcumin to the culture medium. This reduction led to the amelioration of the phagocytic ability of EMF-exposed N9 cells. Western blot analysis revealed that curcumin and naloxone restored the expression of MFG-E8 but had no effect on TLR4 and cytosolic STAT3. Moreover, curcumin significantly reduced the expression of NF-κB p65 in nuclei and phospho-STAT3 (p-STAT3) in cytosols and nuclei. Conclusions: This study indicates that curcumin ameliorates the depressed MFG-E8 expression and the attenuatedphagocytic ability of EMF-exposed N9 cells, which is attributable to the inhibition of the proinflammatory response through the NF-κB and STAT3 pathways.
