Farabloc fabric shields high-frequency electromagnetic fields.
Farabloc has been shown in research studies to shield the body from some
types of electromagnetic fields. An electromagnetic field is a region around a magnet
where the force of that magnet and the force of electricity can be felt.
Electromagnetic fields are caused by the motion of an electric charge. The number of
times that the electric current moves in one second is what defines the electric
current's frequency. If the current moves fast, this means that the frequency is high. If
the current moves slowly, this means that the frequency is low. Fast moving electric
currents can produce a high frequency electromagnetic field. Slow moving electric
currents can produce what is known as a low frequency electromagnetic field.
Human beings are surrounded by electromagnetic fields, such as those that are made
by electrical devices. Examples would be TV sets, microwaves, radios, and the
computer you are looking at right now. Such household devices generally produce
low frequency electromagnetic fields. Examples of high frequency electromagnetic
fields would be x-rays and rays from outer space (known as cosmic rays). Even the
human body creates electromagnetic fields that are due to chemical reactions in the
cells and the flow of ions (electrically charged particles) in the body. A cell is the
smallest, most basic unit of life, that is capable of existing by itself.
It is thought by some that electromagnetic fields can cause irritation to nerve endings.
Normally, layers of body tissue protect nerve endings from electromagnetic fields
that come from outside of the body. People with arms and limbs that have been cut
off do not have this protection, however. Thus, some believe that when the
unprotected nerve ending are exposed to electromagnetic fields, this causes irritation,
which the brain perceives as pain and other types of discomfort.
It is thought that Farabloc provides protection form the electromagnetic fields,
reducing irritation. Farabloc works best at blocking high and ultra-high frequency
electromagnetic fields. However, Farabloc may have a limited effect on very low,
extremely low, and extremely high frequency electromagnetic fields.
The good news is that as of yet there is no firm evidence of biological effects of
low-level, low-frequency electromagnetic fields. Farabloc may help to reduce muscle
soreness by making the muscles cells more stable. After too much exercise, muscle
cells become disrupted, which leads to inflammation, which then leads to soreness.
Thus, decreasing the muscle cell disruption would help to decrease the soreness. In
other words, Farabloc seems to work by blocking damage to the muscle.
Some suggest that Farabloc may work through having an anti-oxidant effect. What
does this mean? When a cell is destroyed, oxygen is usually released from the cell.
The oxygen usually breaks down the cell next to it, which in turn, releases oxygen.
This oxygen usually breaks down the cell besides it, and so on, like a wildfire.
Farabloc may work by decreasing the effect of the oxygen (hence, the term
"anti-oxidant effect"). By decreasing the effect of the oxygen, using Farabloc can be
like throwing water on a fire before it spreads too much.
