"Electrical Grounding Improves Vagal Tone in Preterm Infants"
"Abstract
Background: Low vagal tone (VT) is a marker of vulnerability to stress and the risk of developing necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants. Electric fields produced by equipment in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) induce an electric potential measurable on the skin in reference to ground. An electrical connection to ground reduces the skin potential and improves VT in adults. Objectives: We aimed to measure the electric field strengths in the NICU environment and to determine if connecting an infant to electrical ground would reduce the skin potential and improve VT. We also wished to determine if the skin potential correlated with VT. Methods: Environmental magnetic flux density (MFD) was measured in and around incubators. Electrical grounding (EG) was achieved with a patch electrode and wire that extended to a ground outlet. We measured the skin potential in 26 infants and heart rate variability in 20 infants before, during, and after grounding. VT was represented by the high-frequency power of heart rate variability. Results: The background MFD in the NICU was below 0.5 mG, but it ranged between 1.5 and 12.7 mG in the closed incubator. A 60-Hz oscillating potential was recorded on the skin of all infants. With EG, the skin voltage dropped by about 95%. Pre-grounding VT was inversely correlated with the skin potential. VT increased by 67% with EG. After grounding, the VT fell to the pre-grounding level. Conclusion: The electrical environment affects autonomic balance. EG improves VT and may improve resilience to stress and lower the risk of neonatal morbidity in preterm infants"
i was a manager and adviser to the industry, including communication companies. I was very successful and had very good life. i was also sure the regulation protects our health and didn’t know about hazards from EMR to our health or environment. i was part of the business decision and strategy to start mass marketing of cellular devices to the public in the 80's and continued to participate in developing better phones and services. and i loved my work and my mobile and all technology and my wireless new helpers. I was really excited by all this new developments.
during my 40's i began developing MCI - mile cognitive impairment which wasn't mild at all - i was quite demented - forgetting important stuff, confusing data, missing words and I ruin research and processes at work and in my personal life. i was told it's the beginning of Alzheimer’s and that there is “nothing to do about it”. i heard about trials of treating people in my condition with hyperbaric chambers. i paid a lot for joining that, starting with CT, PET SCAN and fMRI checks. The day after i became very weak and strangely sensitive/ allergic to many synthetic chemicals. i couldn't function, my smell sense became extremely sensitive and I discovered many everyday products felt like poison. exposure to any industrialized substances made me very sick. I was healthy and looked very young and fit before and suddenly every exposure started severe headaches which i never had before, palpitations, tinnitus, I lost a lot of weight/ body mass (mainly muscle because i was very thin before) and i couldn't sleep. my body collapsed and my brain couldn't find words, i struggled to speak, couldn't understand simple things (tasks and phrases or simple calculations), couldn't reason or plan things. i was lost, my identity and intelligence was completely lost (and I was really brilliant).
i began looking for a clean place to live in and heal (with the environment agencies and maps and measures) but i realized that i suffer severe symptoms in many places that are not polluted (I monitored it carefully with specialists) but not in other places/ I discovered I have symptoms when i approach landlines and wireless infrastructure/ antennas/ routers/ streamers and mobile devices. i thought i was hallucinating because i never heard about such phenomena and my MD's didn't know what it could be.
My life changed when i met some persons that suffered the same symptoms - not all the time, only after exposure to EMR and/ or artificial chemicals (and mold) - exactly like me.
i had to study what radiation does to our body and found research that the U.S Navy and army made or collected and that Swedish and east European researchers made. i bought EMR measuring devices and discovered that when i have pain and symptoms - the sensors measure RF radiation and usually it is much lower than the regulatory standards. when i felt good with no pain - no radiation was measured at all. BINGO
I contacted MD’s and researchers that know what EMR syndrome is and started learning how to handle this nightmare. finding a place to live and heal was very difficult – the environmental radiation is high and raising all the time. But when I found and gave my body the right conditions my health and my ability to function improved dramatically. The MCI / Alzheimer’s condition disappeared and I began activism in this field and helped many suffering confused people. But .. my brain and body function only when I’m in safe low- radiation low-pollution environment. I use a lot of counter technology to protect my living and health. When I go out to shops or visit my old parents (with a lot of Antioxidant and special protection hat with metal mesh) the exposure to regular EMR radiation in the environment cfter several hours makes me suffer and ruin my ability to function, the symptoms return gradually and my brain begin to act poorly.
During the 14 years of this ordeal I had to move a lot and spend a fortune to heal and function. I can’t work or study and volunteer as I used to. I live in solitude and I lost all my human rights. People in this condition don’t get any recognition or proper help. life is extremely difficult and many can’t find housing and work/ education and can’t make a living. Many suffer a lot and can’t have meaningful life. Too many kill themselves and considered “depressed” or PTSD without noticing the real environmental reason.
I am Mrs. Wally Verboog, Dutch and age 69 years young.
In 2013 we found out that my severe health complaints were only due to the overdose of high frequency EMF's, RF Radiation and wireless radiation. That was also acknowledged in 2015/2016 in the official Dutch research project GESOND by GGD and University of Utrecht and paid by the Dutch Government (ZonMw programm): 50 % of the 63 participants were able to feel the presence of radiation and immediately received (many of the) specific health complaints. As our Government was probably not amused by the results, the complete results were never published, only a summary in which was stated that the survey was not adequate, without any comment. Of course, every scientific research can be done better and that is even the reason why one should do a survey once again with better requirements! No doubt, our ministry of Health will be delighted to give HHS the complete results, which prove that even low levels of radiation affects directly the health of people.
Another nice survey to mention is the large-scale study conducted by Kantar in 2019/2020 on behalf of the Dutch government. Main conclusion was that even 6 % of the Dutch population experienced health complaints due to radiation/wireless communication!
My main health complaints due to RF radiation, HF EMF and wireless devices are: a) extreme high blood pressure and hearth rythm problems, b) muscle cramps, c) tinnitus, d) headache and sharp pains in the head, e) feelings of fear and disorientation and loss of focus/concentration, f) ongoing dizzyness and after 10 minutes of ongoing high exposure of radiation all my energy literally drains out of me, and I fall to the ground, not even knowing who I am and half-conscious. This all was also verified by medical specialists, who could not find another reason than over exposure to radiation.
Yes, we have found an overload of evidence that the current idiot high levels of radiation affects negatively our health, see e.g. the list of the University of Achen Germany of surveys world wide (EMF Portal). No doubt a lot of organisations world wide will send you lots of surveys, so no use of mentioning them here as well (but our 2 special Dutch surveys were very special, so we mentioned them earlier!).
I have done a lot of activities to inform people and official organisations as well: in 2016 we launched our website www.stopoverdosisstraling.nu (which means stop overdose radiation now), the top 26 health complaints are well known in Holland and Belgium (https://sosstraling.nl/gezondheidsklachten-top-26/). We also appered in many interviews on Dutch TV, radio and newspapers.
In 2023 the Dutch former Minister of Culture, mrs. Mr. Medy van der Laan, gave a presentation about her health problems of radiation (HF EMF/RF radiation/wireless devices) on the Symposium event of the Dutch Kennisplatform EMV (Knowledgeplatform EMF). This Kennisplatform EMV is an initiative of the Dutch Government, paid by 3 ministries and has particpants like Tech institute TNO, ministries, Health organisations like RIVM and GGD GHOR.
Unfortunately this all has so far not lead to any positive step in doing something about the (high) levels of radiation in Holland nor informing the public in a good way nor informing the medical specialists/gp's in a proper way about this increasing humanmade environmental issue, which radiation is.Well "humanmade" is in fact "tech companies made" and "supported by governments" abnd unfortunately these parties are not interested in heath issues it seems. But HHS appears to be an exemption as HHS is willing even to mention the problem and do something about it: compliments!
I am not insane. I had my own company but had to stop my active roles. I was forced to stay in a protected (shielded) house, drive a shielded special car. I was not able to even be preent at the funeral of my mom due to the radiation in church and graveyard.I had to stop all my oudoor activities and social life as the level of radiation was increasing rapidly everywhere. "I am not insane", I mention this because in Holland lots of (stupid) people think that when you say you have health complaints of radiation, you must be insane. Of course they are not willing to read the facts....I even had to consult 2 psychiatrists to try to convince these stupid people that I am just as insane as the most of the Dutch (which means I am normal).
You notice, I am still positive, but be aware that my life has changed in a terrible way. Due to ongoing rising high levels of radiation and the fact that all actions of shielding and protecting were not sufficient, I was forced to leave Holland and move ( “refugee” is the better word) to France where my husband and I found a house in a low radiation area. Now I can do my gardening and stay in my house without fear of radiation and without health issues. I published an article: https://stralingsbewust.info/2026/06/23/wij-zijn-gevlucht-grote-verbetering-gezondheid/
This is merely anecdotal and episodic phenomena that I have observed when I’m coming up on a 5G tower while driving (sometimes not even seeing it until I’m closer), but when within a half mile of a 5G tower, especially one that is situated lower to the ground, I begin to experience a lot of discomfort, a feeling like I’m about to jump out of my skin or need to get away from that location as soon as possible, sometimes accompanied by difficulty taking in a complete breath, and a feeling that my heart rate changes.
I mentioned this to my doctor, but he told me “that is all internet conspiracy theory stuff” and that the waves emitted are not powerful enough to affect the human body.
Just thought I’d let someone else know! Maybe others have experienced the same thing.
V2 Skull is happening to me , I get headaches , nausea , digital induced anxiety and heart palpitations. Shortness of breathe. And evil people are controlling me with v2 skull harassment from years ago
Miksi mastojen kohdalla päässä tuntuu omituiselle?
Ytävälläni todettiin eteisvärinä, vain 3 kuukautta maston lähelle muuttamisen jälkeen. Mastoon on matkaa vain 500 m, joka näkyy ystävän kotiin saakka.
For over 15 years I had severe health issues with my heart, my digestion, brain fog, migraines, extreme fatigue light sensitivity and more. It took me about five years to figure out what the problem was after the medical profession was at a loss to explain my issues. Once I figured it out with the help of some friends I was on a mission to learn everything I could about EMF's and wireless. I spent about $10,000 on various quality equipment to measure electric and wireless. Included in the equipment was a quality microscope to view my blood and I was shocked how quickly blood responded to wireless signals. Wireless is just chipping away at the health of humans along with the flora and fauna.
The United States after India as the highest allowable microwave frequencies that are now ubiquitous coming from cell towers, cell phones and wifi.
The fact that the FCC is a captured agency led by the very industry it was meant to regulate is appalling. It is doing so much harm and most people like me had not a clue, I believed my government and telecom company, would regulate this industry to be safe, a big mistake on my part.
There are thousands of studies that show harm, even our own NIH! WHY has the NIH refused to reveal nearly 2,500 pages of records related to the National Toxicology Program's (NTP) decision to shut down its research on how wireless radiation affects human health and mutates DNA.
I could go on and on, there so much research that shows the negative effects of wireless. At some point this will not end well….

In searching for root cause of my symptoms after trying numerous modalities I came across the highly cited 1971–1976 Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) reports, often referred to in modern EMF literature as the "Glaser Report." And recognized the similarities and biological processes impacted matched. This led me to read other studies more recent including by the NIH. There is tons of information indicating emfs disrupt neurological and cellular function and even damaging DNA which seems to align with the health symptoms I personally have which is causing extreme physical and emotional suffering, in addition to causing financial, professional and relational issues.
I attempted to diffuse the emf signals to my home and devices by using Ethernet and turning off wireless but it made no impact. I've also tried unplugging my router overnight.
Is EMR the same mechanism through which people have been diagnosed with"Havana syndrome"? Also "targeted individuals" who suspect they are being attacked by Directed Energy Weapons? Are Directed Energy Weapons just EMR being channeled towards someone?
I am submitting this as a caregiver to my partner with severe EMF hypersensitivity and as someone with a milder form myself.
After becoming aware/knowledgeable of the existence of this illness I noticed EMF reactions I had experienced myself I had previously ignored/dismissed. I have always felt burning or pain in my legs when having my laptop on my lap or pain in my hand with my mobile phone which if I ignore it, travels up my arm until my whole arm is burning. I always drove old cars with low electrics/radiofrequency with no issues but started feeling the burning in my hands touching the steering wheel in my newer model but only recognized this in retrospect. These issues started before I was even aware of EMFs.
In September 2020, my partner became extremely ill and bedbound from one day to the next. He was very fit and healthy, lifting weights and walking 20km every day and eating healthy and one day collapsed after a flu like illness and described feeling a flash/snap in his brain. From then on he started having a myriad of symptoms which haven't eased, only changed at times for the last 6 years with not a single moment in those 6 years without at least 10 debilitating symptoms at once. Initially he was bedbound for weeks and couldn't tolerate any daylight or function at all. He was dismissed medically by multiple doctors despite ending up hospital several times and told his bloods were normal and they didn't know what was wrong with him. Since then we have been on a journey to discover the origin of his illness and seen multiple specialists and spent hundreds of hours of research and his condition has increased in intensity. At the time he was living in a house riddled with toxic moulds (proven by an ERMI later) and started to develop reactivity to many things including chemicals,smells,foods,cosmetics,synthetic materials and EMFs. The intensity of these reactions continued to increase until we became more aware of the source of the different reactions and were able to measure them and isolate what triggers caused which reaction.
We have done measurements with EMF meters in many locations and I can 100% say my partner is able to feel with accuracy the level of EMFs by the symptoms he experiences. He reacts to levels FAR below the international safety guidelines.I know that there has been discussion that people react to the trigger as a trauma response and by calming the nervous system or using brain retraining they will not react and I can tell you that this is categorically not true. It may work for some but not my partner at all. He reacts to an exposure before the awareness he is being exposed eg. we go to nature spots far away from EMFs to ease his symptoms.He will tell me he is feeling awful and the next minute someone will walk around the corner with a phone. The has happened over and over. I am a counsellor and work with many clients with trauma and support brain retraining and I can say with confidence this is NOT a trauma response. My partner reacts to all kinds of EMF exposures differently and can often tell if it is radio frequency, electric or magnetic. The list of symptoms he experiences would cover an entire A4 sheet of paper so I will not list them all but in terms of EMFs specifically, he experiences headaches, full body pains, seizures (convulsing and unresponsive for up to half an hour), brain fog, memory issues, tinnitus, vertigo, burning sensations or skin rashes, insomnia, night sweats, nightmares, constant chronic fatigue, heart palpitations/heart racing, heaviness/stiffness, gut issues, mood swings amongst others. We have moved at least 5 times in the last 6 years and are moving again and have spent thousands on mitigation attempts which do help to a certain extent but finding a safe house is becoming impossible. We never use WIFI, rarely use a mobile phone and switch it off when not in use, only have one circuit on for several sockets but have all other circuit switches off at the breaker at all times and have protective shielding equipment but the EMF levels are still not safe and my partner is still deathly sick. He has no medical support as all doctors have washed their hands of him, no accommodations and no official diagnosis.
We need extensive research without any funding conflicts carried out in a scientifically valid way. We need recognition of this condition medically and training so people are not left to die and live in primitive conditions, we need accommodations in rental clauses and work accommodations recognized and we need to create safe low EMF zones and protect these to create safe communities. The data is flawed and doesn't measure cumulative exposure to the levels we are experiencing now. Please take this seriously. People are dying whilst being ridiculed, neglected and forgotten and they do not have a voice as they cannot access the channels to have a voice (all these channels are online). I wrote this on behalf of my partner as he could not do this.
