anti emf plants

Hi, are there any plants that are known to lessen EMF radiation? I am thinking of putting some in my home and office. Someone suggested a cactus, but I haven't heard any scientific reason for that.

Funny you should ask this -- we are actually in the process of investigating this.  The reason that manmade EMF radiation is so harmful is that it is coherent -- that is, it has the same signal shape, size and frequency.  Protein sensors on our cell membranes actually go into resonance and lock the cell membrane down changing the voltage across the cell membranes.   This is called oxidative stress, or membrane sensitivity syndrome, and it keeps the nutrients out of the cells and the toxins trapped in it.

To counteract the problem in environments that we cannot remove the manmade signal (that is the best and most effective resolution), it is necessary to introduce a signal that is random.  Some have attempted to manufacture this, but as with most manmade devices, the created signal is not effective in introducing a truly random noise.  Therefore, though initially there may be some improvement, over a short period of time, the body adjusts to the new signal and the symptoms recur. 

Based on the study done by Dr. Fritz Popp, we know that like the sun and the earth, plants also generate an EMF, albeit a random signal.  These signals have either the same shape or the same frequency, but not both.  As a result, the cell sensors cannot go into resonance.  The question then is can these plants generate a signal strong enough to "ride" the coherent manmade signals and keep the cell membrane sensors from going into resonance. 

There are studies to date that support connection to the earth -- the real dirt -- can provide some protection, as connection to natural materials like clay plasters and minerals.  Can plants do it?  Several folks think this is possible and some are claiming success, albeit to date the research data is skeptical.  I'll keep you posted as I learn more about it.

Just FYI -- cactus is not one that is often researched; however, ficus are.

 

I don't know about specific plants, but I do know that sap-heavy trees (such as cherry) are far better at blocking EMFs than other trees. We can measure the difference when different trees are barriers between us and a nearby phone mast.

Cool -- measured what, how, instrument, procedure, distance, time, etc?

That is great news -- a natural shield.

Hi Vicky

We use instrumentation to measure changes - our own instruments such as the Acoustimeter (new), and previously the A-COM and COM monitors. We also use various more technical (and expensive!) instruments such as an Anritsu Spectrum Analyser when we do surveys (UK only, limited radius I'm afraid).

I believe (although I am not sure of this) that it is because sap is partially conductive, and the more conductive material, the more likely it is to screen.

We don't have a decent way to measure this effect locally though, so I can't verify it personally. Although I have cherry trees in my garden (and apple, and pear, and plum!) they aren't in direct line with the phone mast at the end of the road.
