Peat Archive

Ray Peat discussed electromagnetic fields and radiation in the context of their biological effects, drawing on the work of researchers like Robert O. Becker and Harold Burr. He was interested in how non-ionizing electromagnetic fields interact with living systems, noting that cells generate and respond to electrical fields as part of normal physiology.

Peat expressed concern about chronic exposure to certain EMF frequencies, particularly from power lines and electronic devices, noting studies showing effects on melatonin, stress hormones, and cellular communication. However, he also discussed therapeutic uses of certain electromagnetic frequencies and the role of visible light (particularly red and near-infrared) in supporting mitochondrial function.
