Electromagnetic Activities Have A Dual Effect On Epileptic Seizures

The application of electromagnetic technology generates a mass ofartificial electromagnetic waves and disrupts the natural electromagneticfields surrounding the living environment of human beings. These abnormalelectromagnetic activities, which are listed as the fourth largest source ofpollution by the World Health Organisation, play an important role in theinitiation and development of epilepsy through the following potentialmechanisms:1, they influence the balance between inhibition and excitationin the central nervous system;2, they act on electromagnetic wave-activatedion channels;3, they evoke intrinsic oscillators via resonance effects throughgap junctions or electromagnetic induction;4, they disrupt the Schumannresonance modulation of neural systems. Electromagnetic waves areassociated with sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. Shieldingelectromagnetic waves might have a potential antiepileptic effect.
