> household low frequency EMFs from wiring increases oxidative stress ion my body and causes me pain, insomnia, and mood disturbance. This is mainly from how EMFs trigger the Volatage Gated Ion Channels

Wow, I've never heard that before - do you have any good papers you can link to so I can read some more?

I am interested as well. They appear to be spouting off pseudoscience that sounds much better than the average person but I am open to seeing evidence otherwise.

Martin Pali is at the forefront of this but, you know, this is scary to a lot of people for some reason.

The most studied ion channels are the Voltage Gated Calcium Ion Channels

I have linked some papers in a response to another comment, but here is a youtube video:

I feel the research is lacking on this because there is a large genetic component. I do not feel LF-EMFs are a danger to everyone, but certain people, like me, with gene changes in CACNA1C, might be more affected by LF-EMFs. It is no coincidence that CACNA1C is also linked to pretty much all the mood disorders.

And I am in no way saying that LF-EMFs are the cause of all mood disorders.
