Discovery of magnetic sensors in fish and rats may explain why some people can 'feel' wi-fi, smart meters, power lines and electropollution

(NaturalNews) It is well known that many people are sensitive to electromagnetic pollution. Wi-fi gives them headaches. Being near high-voltage power lines can bring on migraines. Using a cell phone unleashes similar symptoms. Until recently, there was no medically-understood mechanism by which electromagnetic waves could be sensed by humans. But now, thanks to some fascinating science summarized here, that mystery may be closer to being solved.
Scientists from the University of Munich, led by geophysicist Michael Winklhofer, say they've located and identified "internal compass needles" in the noses of rainbow trout. These are called magnetosensory cells, and they turn out to be far more sensitive to magnetic fields than anyone previously thought.
As TGdaily.com reports: (http://www.tgdaily.com/general-sciences-features/64572-source-of-anim...)
The cells sense the field by means of micrometer-sized inclusions composed of magnetic crystals, probably made of magnetite. These inclusions are coupled to the cell membrane, changing the electrical potential across the membrane when the crystals realign in response to a change in the ambient magnetic field.
"This explains why low-frequency magnetic fields generated by powerlines disrupt navigation relative to the geomagnetic field and may induce other physiological effects," said Winklhofer.
Electro-smog is getting worse by the day
While the study did not look for magnetosensory cells in humans, their identification in fish proves that biological systems can (and do!) create these highly sophisticated "instruments" which sense electromagnetic fields. As any physics student knows, electricity and magnetism are much the same thing: Rotate a coil of wire around a magnet and it produces electric current. High-voltage power lines, inversely, produce a magnetic field.
As the number of modern devices emitting electromagnetic fields continues to rise, people are becoming increasingly concerned about the cumulative effects on their mental and physical health. Some of the sources of electromagnetic pollution -- sometimes called "electro-smog" -- which exist right now include:
• Smart meters
• Mobile phones
• Wi-fi broadband
• Circuit breaker boxes
• Power supplies to computers and appliances
• Treadmills and exercise equipment
• Cell phone towers
• Commercial radio and TV transmissions
• Hair dryers, blenders and other high-amperage home appliances
While each device seem harmless on its own, the combined effects of them all may cross a threshold that theoretically could be sensed by humans who may also have magnetosensory cells.
Some humans also have an uncanny ability to always know which direction is North, even when lacking obvious environmental cues such as star configurations (at night) or patterns of sunlight (during the day). Is it possible that some humans possess magnetosensory cells and unknowingly use them to "feel" which way is North?
Magnetosensory cells already detected in rats
There appears to be evidence that these cells already exist in rats. A study published in Synapse in 2009 is entitled, "Magnetosensory function in rats: localization using positron emission tomography." (http://www.emf-portal.de/viewer.php?l=e&aid=16758)
It reports:
Exposure to the magnetic field stimulated cerebellar uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose compared to the sham exposure in the same animals. The activated region was located in the posterior central cerebellum. The results indicated that magnetosensory evoked potentials in rats were associated with increased glucose utilization in the cerebellum, thereby supporting earlier evidence that electromagnetic field transduction occurred in the brain.
So it's not just fish and pigeons; it's also rats and rabbits. This is strong evidence that magnetosensory cells are probably widely found across many species, possibly including humans. This may therefore explain why some people experience neurological disruption when in the presence of persistent electromagnetic fields.
The answer to all this? Move to the country, toss your cell phone, and get back to nature. Modern society is toxic to biology.

Yea, I'm one of these
Yea, I'm one of these sensitive people. I often have to yell at my husband to lower the volume all the way on his cell phone just to decrease the pain in my head. Wifi is worse.
What would u call people like this?
Feeling emf etc
We are often called " sensitives". Often we are sensitive to many other things as well, noise, light, medicine, etc.
You are Vibrating at a Higher
You are Vibrating at a Higher Frequency, and so the lower vibrations irrate you. This Means You are Ascending! All Our Love Mother and Father God and The Earth Allies
magnetic fields or bust! haha
dont forget about sharks!!! they have magnetic sensors in there head/face to detect/navigate through magnetic fields in the oceans!!! the more you know, yeah! :DDD
Wi fi
Yes l feel it all the time right now from my ipad l get this werid sensation through my hands , feel out of sorts
electro smog healing
I use since a few years a compensatory magnetic oscillator on every computer, mobile device and so on in my house. It works really good, its also called CMO mobile I think in English. I changed the internet cable in my house into a wifi modem and felt the vibrations changing imediatelly in an unpleasant way.
What also helps lot is using special neutralising crystals in your clothes for going outside and I also bought a orgonite chain this year. You can find more info on special orgonite webshops as well, because you can use it also in your house like a small tower on the table. Orgonite changes the lower frequenties of you body in a higher frequency, so it helps me a lot to keep the lower frequenties away on earth espacially this challanging year. It's also very benefit for high sensitive animals and children as well.
I hope this will get you through more easily the next comming months and can effect your relationship with others as well in a positive way.
I to have always been overly
I to have always been overly sensitive ..so thanks for posting this postbox..it made good sense ..
