The
Reason
Most
People Don't Sleep Well (Anymore)
First let's
enlighten you to the prime reason we need sleep...,
Only
during deep states of sleep (Delta not REM or Rapid Eye Movement) do
body systems shut down adequately to put body into
low-energy-requirement state that allows ATP (body's universal energy)
to pool in
the cells (due to body's energy requirement being low enough) allowing
physiological repair, hormone synthesis, immune
function and memory consolidation. PERIOD. That's it.
Sleep scientists can study fruit flies' sleep all they feel is
necessary (really, they do this!), but
the prime reason we sleep is stated above. SIMPLE. Your cell's
mitochondria create ATP (the
fuel that fires ALL cellular process) 24 hours per day and you're body
consumes nearly all of it to maintain consciousness and movement.
Unless you are in the deep state of sleep (called Delta rhythm) for
the requisite amount of time (2-4 hours per night), the body never has
the required fuel to provide adequate maintenance, hormone synthesis
and repair. The result
is a body that breaks down quickly and ages prematurely.
Now, why you and many people you know
don't sleep well.
In a nutshell, there is an increasingly
dense, invisible soup of information carrying radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic fields, literally being broadcast through our bodies by
the
telecommunications industry 24/7.
Its not stress of modern life or evolution. Plain and simple, it is
propagating RF pollution. Sound about right??? If so, you can stop now,
and return to our homepage;
or continue reading for more evidence.
For years, our power frequency 50/60 Hz (Hz = cycles per second)
alternating current (AC) electromagnetic field (EMF)
pollution had only a slightly detrimental impact, today however the
minor
threat from electrical wiring has been far overshadowed by information
carrying
radio frequency (RF) that is having PROFOUND,
deleterious
impact on sleep quality and sleep duration, as well as body's power
generation and communication systems. This RF comes to us via the
cellular telephone and wireless computer networks.
Very simply, Around the world EMF/RF pollution has
drowned-out natural
magnetic fields that humans (and animals) have evolved within,
and
have relied upon for
eons to live long and healthy lives.
That's it, plain & simple.
That and microwaved food, genetically modified food, foods and
environment contaminated by pesticides and chemical poisoning. Here
however we
will deal with the EM/RF component (how you choose to eat is your
business) and what you can do about it to
achieve better quality sleep and more complete short and long term
recovery.
On the one hand we were "designed" so that NATURAL electromagnetic
fields
such as the Schumann
resonance helped to "tune" mind (and body) to
maintain physical repair mechanisms and psychological well being;
on
the
other
hand, EMP
(electromagnetic pollution)
de-tunes and robs body of energy and subsequently healthy
homeostasis. See the 2007
Tong chart of mitochondrial effect at 10 Hz (very close to the main
Schumann resonance of 7.8 Hz).
Microwaves,
power lines, cell
phones/towers,
and 50/60 Hz
(Hz = Hertz = cycles per second) alternating current
(AC) are producers of EMP and you are enveloped in them day
and
night, 24/7; like it or not (unless you live outside the "grid" and
use DC current to power the home).
The
body trying to "sense" the beneficial NATURAL Schumann and Earth-based
electromagnetic fields for fine-tuning, is analogous to trying to hear
a flute solo surrounded by a
platoon of air horns (especially while laying at night trying
to quiet the mind for sleep and restoration). Without adequate deep
sleep the body (even during light sleep) burns too much of the
available energy "pool" sustaining the body/brain for there to be
adequate
energy available for complete cellular repair.
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 be  low
14
Hz.
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 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.
We are describing a very narrow
healthy frequency band where frequencies above 15 Hz has been
shown in dozens
of
frequency
specific
animal
studies to
cause negative behavioral modification
and above 20 Hz stress hormone production. You'll notice that the peak
in the graph
(highest amplitude) 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.
What is remarkable
is that these fields overlay the stress-free human EEG
almost
perfectly. Notice there are peaks at
about 1.5 Hz and 2.5 Hz within the Delta rhythm band as well
which used to provide us a fairly strong signal during the nighttime
that helped us to achieve Delta rhythm sleep.
Equally important, the mitochondria (cell's power plants)
of
the body respond particularly well to frequencies falling within
this
narrow frequency band, particularly at 10 Hz. You may read about these
on the homepage
that probably lead you here. The most significant research is cited in
the left hand column.
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 regeneration effects. In 2003
NASA
discovered 10 Hz turned the gene sequences (over 300 individual genes)
for maturation -OFF- and for
developmental -ON-. Further, it found a four fold increase in rate of
tissue generation.
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 greatly enhances mitochondrial adaptation to both physical
and neurological demands. 10 Hz even promotes mitochondrial replication
and trafficking within the cell. You may read these exiting discoveries
directly off the NIH library through links on the
homepage that lead you here.
It
is
no
coincidence
that
pulsed
magnetic fields at or around 10 Hz
have produced BY
FAR the best healing 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. We use 9.6 Hz square wave as our primary use
frequency since 2001 (prior to the mitochondrial specific research
becoming available).
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.
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 (though lying very
close-to or in-contact with the ground, and absent power frequency
electric fields).
This
is
far better than sleeping at home several feet or
more above the ground, with 50/60 Hz electric fields, full strength
cellular telecommunications grid and in-range wireless networks
permeating your bedroom and living spaces
with very high frequency signals.
Pretty
bleak picture overall; and why you can expect your sleep to deteriorate
with time, especially if HD TV broadcasting and large scale urban
WiFi is rolled out in your area. Earthing or Earth tethering systems
attempt to address this problem, it is admittedly better than nothing. For about the same price you can get an
Earthing system on steroids....the EarthPulse™.
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 (the author
had two phones prior to unlimited minutes plans) and cellular now
propagates within every urban area in the world with denser
and denser layers of information.
Wireless
computer
networks permeate our work
and school (and in many cases our bedrooms) and the combination of
cellular and wireless networks our species has reached its tipping
point. We are now finding it difficult or impossible to quiet our mind
at night and get a good nights sleep. Forget about what it does to your
mitochondria for the moment. Bee
colony collapse disorder is the canary in the coal mine.
Wireless
computer
network
roll-out
coincide
well
with
adolescent
sleep
deterioration
and increase rate of ADHD diagnosis. One can argue the
same ratcheting up of cancer to coincide with these technological
"advancements" in telecommunications as well.
Now,
more
than
ever, it's essential you eat well and read the labels on what you put
into your shopping basket. Once GMO foods start permeating the
grocery shelves,
expect the entire equation to paradigm shift for the worse. Add
government mandated vaccinations and well, even the author loses sleep
worrying about the fate of mankind.
There
are
no
safe
levels
of
EMP
above
15 Hz. Though many electromagnetic therapy devices use
frequencies much higher than this, they are used for short exposure
periods and generally have good results from something "other than"
improved mitochondrial performance as the research is quite clear that
20 Hz reduces their efficiency.
the
neurological
system is the most sensitive antenna ever
devised, and the mitochondria, well they may be more sensitive
than that. Professor Anninos PA 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 its 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. Sandyk proved Anninos discovery through 90+ studies
using 8 Hz
frequency in PicoTesla range.
Dozens
of
published
studies
(see
frequency
specific
animal
studies) proved animals exposed
chronically to frequencies above 15 Hz
result in detrimental behavioral changes and stress hormone production;
while frequencies around 10 Hz had beneficial effects. Man-made EMP
above 14.1Hz not only impairs the cells' motochondria, it acutely
impairs
body'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.
Under
this
condition the body lacks energy
requirement
for repair, regeneration and immunity. 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.
Further,
only
in
slow-wave
(Delta)
sleep
can
the
ATP
synthesized
by the mitochondria be about 80% devoted to
maintenance and repair mechanisms. During lighter stages of sleep, the
energy requirement just to sustain the body robs it of this energy pool
required for repair and regeneration.
I
propose
all
disease is related to mitochondria dysfunction. Trauma repair is
directly related to
mitochondrial energy production and over 5 decades in dozens of
studies, 10
Hz stimulation provided the very-best results. If this were not
enough to convince you, NASA scientists aren't stupid..., they saw the
same trend dove into 10 Hz research all the way down to the genetic
level.
NASA
also
determined static magnetic fields and
non-square waveforms were found to have little if any effect. In
a
different study 5 Hz
and 15 Hz was found to increase tissue proliferation only by factor of TWO, while in the
same study 10
Hz was shown to increase it by a factor of FOUR replicating the tissue
regenerating effects of the NASA study.
The brain's
natural EEG
rhythms correlate directly
with these Schumann resonances and the natural rhythm of the
geomagnetic
field.
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 rhythm
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 many circumstances. You experience 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 well with Delta, Theta, Alpha and low-Beta brain states
-or- deep sleep, calm, relaxed and active thought process respectively.
Notice
too
that
amplitude
in
the Delta-Theta area is greater than the
Alpha-Beta. 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, geomagnetic
fields or EMP are ‘picked up’ by the thalamus, particularly the pineal
gland and other magnetite-bearing brain tissues and pacing of the
signal occurs. During these intervals
of ENTRAINMENT, the brain’s pacemaker is external: the Schumann
resonances & geomagnetic field (beneficial) or EMP (detrimental).
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 higher amplitude EMP.
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.
In several thousand
clients we've
proven EarthPulse™ promotes
sleep with a very weak signal typically generated from under their
mattress during the nighttime.
“I
have
used
the
EarthPulse™ magnetic sleep machine to help with my
sleep problems and have found it to be remarkably effective in not only
creating a more satisfactory nighttime sleep regimen but also improving
my daytime alertness. At age 81 one expects some physiologic sleep
disturbances mainly in the depth of sleep and also involving more
frequent awakenings. This technology restored my sleep pattern to much
of its earlier characteristics. I also noted having delightful dreams
and having the ability to remember them on awakening. No doubt light
sleep was also enhanced. I have used it on several other subjects as
well with similar results."
Ron
Lawrence, MD, Ph.D, Neurologist
"I highly recommend
this
product."
Steven Sinatra, MD
"You've
certainly come up with
something that helps me sleep"
Robert O. Becker MD
"While sleep is one of
the major
problems addressed
by my device, it certainly isn’t limited to that. What's good for sleep
also happens to be
what's best for each individual mitochondrion, having implications in
all tissue
types whether bone, connective tissues, gray matter, motor neurons,
endocrine tissues, heart, organs or
muscle. "
Paul F. Becker, 11 December 2008
So, how do we "re-tune" ourselves to restore our depleted mental and
physical energies?Just as vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids
from food are
essential biochemical compounds required for healthy survival, so also
do our mitochondria require “geomagnetic vitamins” supplied by the
Earth's
geomagnetic AND
Ionospheric (Schumann) fields. Think of these
"geomagnetic vitamins" as a
tuning fork that help achieve and maintain optimum efficiency during
aerobic metabolism. Unfortunately, these “geomagnetic vitamins” are
partially if not fully
blocked out by EMP in much the same way as the flute solo is drowned
out in the example in paragraph 1.
Our neurological system is made up of miles of neuronal tissues. They
act like antennae picking up the entire spectrum of magnetic fields. We
were designed to be specifically
tuned to Schumann and Earth resonances and we have become slowly
(unnoticeable) crippled in the presence of
higher frequency EMP. Think of the analogy of a frog in a pot of hot
water that could easily jump out but because the water is being heated
slowly, it stays in the water and is cooked before it realizes
it's too late. Or,
recharging a dead
battery with the wrong
type and strength of electricity. If there is a short circuit or
the
input amperage is too high or too low, or the frequency or current type
(AC vs. DC) is wrong, the entire system breaks down catastrophically.
Much
like the battery example above, higher frequency man-made EMP
essentially robs our cells'
natural ability to generate and stockpile adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
the
fuel that fires all cellular processes. The body’s control and
power generation mechanisms subsequently fail in unison. On the
other hand, feed the body with the correct frequency(s) and miraculous
things can
happen to sleep, strength, stamina and healing.
EarthPulse™
produces a spectrum of these “geomagnetic vitamins” from very
low-Delta
to very low-Beta wave frequencies with special attention paid to the
mitochondrial 10 Hz frequency requirements. Once the hockey puck
sized electromagnet is placed between the mattress and box spring,
you
get an 8 hour 'dose' of your geomagnetic vitamins.
What you can
expect
is;
- deeper more restful sleep
- enhanced energy
- improved blood and tissue oxygen
- better aerobic capacity
- better
focus and executive performance
- vastly improved recovery
- more flexibility
- a 10-15% increase in
muscular strength within just 14 days
- a 20-30% increase in stamina within
just just 14 days
