Activist Post has reported before about research that has already proven animals are affected by exposure to Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) including Dirty Electricity (DE), cell phone radiation and WiFi.  Of course, like with any toxin, some will be able to tolerate exposure to “Electrosmog” better than others.

Unfortunately, some animals – including our beloved pets – can also be attracted to these harmful sources.  In 2009, Dr. Mercola posted an article about this, “Why You Should NEVER EVER Sleep Where Your Cat Sleeps.”

Cats, ants and termites have an unusual characteristic in common; they’re all attracted to geopathic stress zones.

Geopathic stress is natural radiation that rises up through the earth and becomes distorted by weak electro-magnetic fields, created by subterranean running water, certain mineral concentrations, fault lines, and underground cavities.

Electropathological energy created by modern technology such as high and low frequency energy from telecommunication towers, electricity pylons, transformers, radar and radio towers can also contribute to geopathic stress.

Sleeping in a geopathic stress fault is particularly harmful to your body, as during sleep your brain is supposed to rest half the time and is busy healing your body the other half. However, if you are exposed to geopathic stress during sleep, your brain never receives the full rest it requires to repair and regenerate.

This is why it’s so important to avoid sleeping where your cat sleeps, as for if your home is located near a geopathic stress fault, your cat will likely find it and sleep near it. If you don’t have a cat, look for areas where plants do not thrive, ant hills are built or termites congregate. These are all signs of a geopathic stress zone.

Dr. Mercola’s article also offers tips for creating a safer home environment for you and your fur babies.  Many other health experts and advocates have offered the same advice since then – especially in regard to where we sleep.

Exposure to harmful Electrosmog is cumulative.   Your pets may not show immediate signs of distress from it but it can hurt them over time.  Medications can sometimes reduce or mask symptoms and illness caused by exposure but it won’t solve the problem.  Reducing their exposure as much as possible is what’s best for them and also, of course, for you.
