Course Overview
As a workplace concern, EMF Wireless radiation is not ‘on the radar’ for many TCM practitioners but it should be! Current safety standards continue to be based on outdated threshold limits for THERMAL-ONLY biological effects.
As a result, EMF Wireless devices have proliferated the planet with totally inappropriate emission levels. These levels fail to integrate the growing weight-of-evidence warnings about the disastrous NON-THERMAL health effects!
Lloyds of London – the biggest Insurance market in the world – will not accept liability for ‘Wi-Fi Injury’ associated with Wi-Fi devices. Lloyds has done its homework on both THERMAL and NON-THERMAL effects and thresholds.
National standards are far from unified, especially since the release of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Study in 2016. This crucial 10-year Study confirmed the causal link between tumours of the Brain and Heart and excessive exposure to 2G and 3G mobile phones. Now the world is facing the 5G threat which will add to the aggregate burden of EMF radiation from digital meters, routers, and wireless devices in the community.
EMF wavelengths cannot be effectively blocked but they can be avoided or have their impact lessened to a degree. TCM practitioners need to educate themselves on this urgent health and safety issue, even if it means learning new technical jargon and contradicting the public perception of safe-use technology. In this way, they have the chance to lead the health industry.
PLEASE NOTE: While this course does cover safety-related topics, it is not accredited by NCCAOM under the "Safety Category", but rather the "AOM-BIO" category.
Objectives
-
Understand why the Insurance companies refuse to indemnify ‘Wi-Fi’ Injury in the clinic workplace and elsewhere.
-
Identify the historical landmarks underpinning the formation of THERMAL-only EMF Safety Standards in different countries.
-
Be informed of the scientific and medical concerns surrounding the NON-THERMAL biological effects of EMF radiation.
-
Understand the current international disparities in EMF Safety Standards.
-
Obtain a template for clinic ‘risk management’ in terms of avoidance or mitigation strategies for minimising EMF exposure.
Outline
0 hrs - 15 min
There is a need for TCM practitioners to educate themselves on ‘Wi-Fi Injury’ due to the complete absence of Insurance available.
15 min - 30 min
The history of last century’s Risk Assessment tools helps us to understand the erroneous THERMAL-only bias for EMF radiation thresholds.
30 min - 45 min
The Safety Standard variability, nation-to-nation, gives practitioners a further historical perspective on the current EMF Standards debate.
45 min - 1 hrs
Practitioners can recognise the obvious shortcomings of the THERMAL-ONLY approach.
1 hrs - 1.25 hrs
The importance of the National Toxicology Program Study needs to be understood for the undeniable NON-THERMAL considerations.
1.25 hrs - 1.5 hrs
A comparison of different nations shows a range of reactions to the growing Electro-Physiology research on the NON-THERMAL cellular effects.
1.5 hrs - 1.75 hrs
5G concerns need to be understood in the context of the aggregate burden of EMF radiation.
1.75 hrs - 2 hrs
Practitioners need to educate themselves on EMF avoidance and mitigation strategies for health and insurance reasons.
