Is Earth's magnetic field causing heart attacks, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Heart Disease, Alzheimer's, Seizures, Suicides and Schizophrenia?

[ClaraBiomed]

All of a sudden, out of nowhere, within the past three years, there have been a myriad of studies all saying that fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field causes heart attacks and other heart problems, due to Earth's magnetic field disrupting the heart's electrical activity. Pretty much every serious health problem you can think of has been correlated with geomagnetic storms.

I've even seen studies linking fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field (geomagnetic storms) with the incidence of seizures, schizophrenia, sudden infant death syndrome, and even Alzheimer's. There's seemingly no serious health condition which isn't correlated to geomagnetic storms.

Though some of the studies don't go into detail about the mechanism, many of these studies mention "Schumann Resonances" and how Earth's magnetic field disrupts the "Pineal gland".

After doing a bit of research, the field of studying the effects of Earth's magnetic field on human health is called "heliobiology" and it is allegedly an emerging field of biology. Papers on "heliobiology" often mention the phrase "liquid crystals", and how these "liquid crystals" exist in each cell and react to magnetic fields, since magnetic fields alter the properties of said crystals. According to those papers, these crystals are altered by magnetic fields, it affects systems in the body.

So, what about MRI machines? The magnetic field of an MRI machine is a whopping 100,000 times stronger than Earth's, and the fluctuations are much more violent. By comparison, the fluctuations of Earth's magnetic field during even the most severe geomagnetic storms are measured on the order of a few hundred nanoteslas per minute and don't even affect pacemakers.

It is often said, "correlation does not equal causation".

Under the currently accepted general framework, it is purely, simply, dare I say factually indisputable that all effect must be attributed to the so-called "Big Bang".
Don't you know?
There was a point in space before all time.
That's where we come from!


To endeavor to understand the "mystery" of cause and effect, is a fool's errand.
All cause exists relative to infinite effect, and all effect exists relative to infinite cause.
It is impossible to discern one from the other, when all is one and one is all.
E pluribus unum

This is a very interesting notion that no one had thought of in past history and yet it is not completely without merit. After all, lots of people attribute colds or illnesses to the weather. And who says we need to be able to detect such “weather” with our own senses for it to have an effect on our physical selves? For example, can we detect carbon monoxide with our human senses? We cannot smell, see, hear, or feel carbon monoxide. If not for science, we can only tell about carbon monoxide poisoning after we get sick. So it is reasonable that changes in the magnetic field could have been affecting the health in organisms all throughout history.

I am glad and thankful that the human race has scientists and health professionals looking into this. We knew nothing about the effects of pollution until AFTER we polluted the environment via our industrial age. But one thing became clear. Our inventions, like automobiles and factories, had both good and bad effects upon us. Anything we invent and mass produce could have positive and negative effects. Just like tools. Just like guns and weapons. The bow and arrow did help us tremendously in conquering wildlife. And guns would have also, if there was any wildlife left to conquer. Meanwhile, our latest nuclear weapons may be needed for the future. Who knows?

The bottom line is that the more tools and inventions that we have, the stronger we are. At the same time, if we are not careful in how we use any such new knowledge or technology, we can end up hurting or killing ourselves, too. Next to such great strength, life becomes very fragile. As the saying goes, “With great power, comes great responsibility.”

It is quite true that correlation does not equal causation. But your use of this knowledge is too negative. You sound as if we should all give up on everything because everything has already been decided for us since the Big Bang. Maybe all life in the Universe is doomed, but maybe not. Who really knows? But this much everyone knows, you can’t win by giving up. You can’t live if you don’t try to live. You can’t survive if your attitude is so negative that everything is hopeless to you.

Because of this, I agree that in the long run, que sera sera. Whatever will be, will be. But in the short run, don’t give up. Keep trying. And the entire human race is the short run compared to the Universe. We need to keep trying to do our best, which means to continue to separate and distinguish cause from effect. To see correlations and determine which truly have a cause and effect. To keep looking. Your attitude is to give up. Sorry, but that attitude stinks. You do not have my vote. (Vote of confidence.)
