Low EMF / Low ELF Infrared Saunas

Extremely low frequency (ELF) radiation is at the low-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum and is often referred to as the Electric Fields. The most common ELF field is radiated by utility power lines. You are exposed to these fields whenever you are near electrical appliances of any kind.

The effect of the electric field strength on a person’s body is defined as body voltage strength and is expressed in millivolts (mV). Out in nature, far away from electrical sources, the human body’s natural body voltage is near 0mV. It has been found that when this body voltage rises, in sensitive individuals, it can cause disturbed sleep, irritating sensations and other ailments.

The Threshold of Concern level for ELF is 1,000 mV. When testing Clearlight Saunas® with our low ELF technology, users test as low as 200 mV – five times below the threshold of concern. When testing our competitor’s saunas, their ELF levels exceed 20,000 mV – twenty times above the threshold of concern.

Each individual’s levels will vary as some people are more conductive due to the makeup of their body (higher salt levels, for example). In our testing, we did not have anyone test above the threshold of concern in a shielded Clearlight Infrared Sauna®.

Ask any of our competitors what level of EMF and ELF their heaters emit. You will be shocked at how high the levels are in their saunas or they may not even know!

*acceptable levels should be below 3mG

Numerous studies have produced contradictory results, yet some experts are convinced that the threat is real.

Dr. David Carpenter, Dean at the School of Public Health, State University of New York believes it is likely that up to 30% of all childhood cancers come from exposure to EMFs. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns “There is reason for concern” and advises prudent avoidance”.

Martin Halper, the EPA’s Director of Analysis and Support says “I have never seen a set of epidemiological studies that remotely approached the weight of evidence that we’re seeing with EMFs. Clearly, there is something here.”

Concern over EMFs exploded after Paul Brodeur wrote a series of articles in the New Yorker Magazine in June 1989. Because of Paul Brodeur’s reputation. his articles had a catalytic effect on scientists, reporters and concerned people throughout the world.

In November 1989, the Department of Energy reported that “It has now become generally accepted that there are, indeed, biological effects due to field exposure.”

The EMF issue gained more publicity in 1990 when alarming reports appeared in Time, the Wall Street Journal, Business Week and popular computer publications. ABC’s Ted Koppel and CBS’s Dan Rather both aired special segments on EMFs.

Some health effects linked with EMF are:

• Memory Loss
• Depression
• Loss of Energy
• Irritability
• Inability To Concentrate
• Weakened Immune System
• Chronic Fatigue
• Headaches

Consider the following findings:

• 3% of the population may have severe reactions to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) thought by some to shorten life expectancy.
• Young people who start using cell phones before the age of 20 have a five-fold increase in brain cancer risk.
• Up to one-third of the population may suffer from electrical hypersensitivity from EMF exposure.”
