Mitochondria: Structures, Functions, Oscillations, and EMF

EMF and Mitochondria>

MITOCHONDRIA -- TINY ORGANELLES FOUND IN ALMOST ALL CELLS OF THE BODY -- CREATE ALMOST ALL OF THE ENERGY REQUIRED BY THE BODY. THEY NATURALLY OSCILLATE IN A DELICATE BALANCE OF FREE RADICAL GENERATION AND SCAVENGING. WHEN THIS BALANCE SHIFTS, DYSFUNCTION AND PATHOLOGY RESULT.

EMF HAS BEEN SHOWN TO AFFECT MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION AND STRUCTURE. DEPENDING UPON THE ABILITY OF THESE TINY ORGANELLES TO RESPOND TO THIS KIND OF PHYSIOLOGIC STRESS, AND THE SUBSTRATES AVAILABLE FOR ATP SYNTHESIS TO PROVIDE ENERGY FOR CELLULAR RESPONSES, THE EFFECTS ON LIVING SYSTEMS MAY VARY FROM NO SYMPTOMS TO SERIOUS DISEASE.

PUTTING SOME PIECES TOGETHER ABOUT EMF EFFECTS ON US

We know the effects of EMF on our tissues are nonlinear.
We know that free radicals are created during EMF exposures.
We know that DNA and RNA are damaged.
We know that calcium movement is altered.
We know that energy is required to respond to these effects.
We know that mitochondria have their own DNA.
We know the mitochondria create most of our cellular energy (ATP).
We know mitochondria have other very important functions in cells.
We know mitochondrial structures are vulnerable to EMF.
We know that mitochondria naturally oscillate as they work.
We don't know if EMF directly alters mitochondrial oscillations.
We know that free radical shifts will disturb oscillations.
We know that oscillatory disturbance is associated with pathology.
