Stress Levels in Children and Adolescents

Study 2

Introduction

In recent years, children and adolescents have been exposed to increased stress levels. This initial practical study conducted by the Biophysical Testing Laboratory provides alarming findings regarding the impact of stress on young individuals. The average stress levels observed in this demographic are significantly higher than those of adults.

Background

Numerous emotional and scientific factors contribute to the heightened stress experienced by children and teenagers. These include overwhelming sensory input, exposure to electromagnetic radiation, academic pressures, parental expectations, familial conflicts, and challenging social circumstances. The body does not always manage this stress effectively. A World Health Organisation study from 2006 reported that nearly one in five surveyed individuals aged 11 to 16 experienced symptoms such as nausea, headaches, or sleep disturbances. Additionally, 30% of students reported experiencing midday fatigue, leading to decreased performance.

The role of increasing electromagnetic radiation and the casual use of mobile communication technology among children and adolescents in exacerbating stress levels requires further investigation.

Study Findings

The findings from the December 2008 study conducted by the Biophysical Testing Laboratory, led by Paul Sommer, underscore the concerning levels of stress in adolescents. “The nerve activity in teenagers is typically at the upper limit of normal. This can result in slower and less effective processing of information, leading to health issues such as headaches, sleep disturbances, and hyperactivity,” explains Sommer.

Heart Rate Variability Measurement

Alongside assessing stress potential, the study also measured heart rate variability (HRV), an essential parameter for evaluating vitality and well-being. The heart rate intervals in teenagers displayed a broader range than those of adults, indicating a greater burden on the organism and an increased workload on the cardiovascular system to maintain internal balance.

Participant Demographics

The current biofeedback study is based on an ECG analysis conducted between 2006 and 2008, involving 330 participants across various age groups:

Number of subjects

84 participants

aged 11-20 years

25 participants

38 participants

aged 31-40 years

50 participants

aged 41-50 years

Paul Sommer emphasises the importance of comparing stress levels between adolescents and adults for an accurate assessment of the stress burden.

Stress Levels by Age Group

Raumvital Study 2: Stress Levels by Age Group

The average stress levels observed in children and adolescents were markedly higher than those recorded for adult participants. This elevated stress level negatively impacts their ability to regulate and maintain internal balance, as evidenced by the study’s findings on heart rate variability.

Heart Rate Variability as a Health Indicator

Heart rate variability (HRV) reflects the degree of fluctuation in the time intervals between heartbeats. Greater variability suggests increased stress on the organism, necessitating a higher effort from the cardiovascular system to sustain internal equilibrium.

Raumvital Study: Heart Rate Variability as a Health Indicator: Further Parameter Arrhythmia Measure
  • Arrhythmia Measure (RMSSD): This measure indicates the extent to which heart rate varies from one beat to the next, providing insight into the variation required to manage stress. A low RMSSD reflects high physiological coherence.
Raumvital Study: Heart Rate Variability as a Health Indicator: Further Parameter Total Power
  • Total Power (ms²): The frequency-based HRV measurement extracts rhythms from the sequence of NN intervals. Total power serves as an indicator of the influence of the autonomic nervous system on the cardiovascular system. The average total power measurements for children and adolescents were at the upper limits of defined “normal” values.
Raumvital Study: Heart Rate Variability as a Health Indicator: Further Parameter Arrhythmia Measure
  • NN50: This parameter indicates the number of adjacent heartbeats in the evaluation period that differ by more than 50 ms. The measurements show the extent of spontaneous changes in heart rate with significant amplitude, correlating with current internal/external stress levels.

Application of Harmonising Technologies

The Biophysical Laboratory utilised harmonisers specifically developed to address the causes of stress:

ESMOG-POLARISATOR Chip

This device harmonises the information of the 50 Hertz alternating current field from electrical installations. The chip is placed at the circuit breakers of the electrical system.

SAFER HOME Chip

This chip harmonises the biological effects of geobiological disturbances and is positioned in the centre of the home.

VITALFIELD CRYSTEL Chip

This device harmonises the biological effects of technically generated high-frequency radiation and is also installed centrally within the dwelling.

Study Phases

The study was conducted in several phases:

  • Phase 1: Initial assessment revealed a higher stress level among most participants.
  • Phase 2: After four weeks, a second round of measurements was conducted. Participants received the harmonisers developed by Paul Sommer, which help mitigate the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation and geopathic stress. “The harmonisers restored disruptive radiation to its natural order, thereby reducing the stress burden on the nervous system,” Sommer noted.

Results

The final measurements indicate that stress levels were halved due to space harmonisation. The results from the Biophysical Testing Laboratory confirm that the application of harmonising fields significantly lowered the overall activity of the autonomic nervous system in subsequent measurements, with heartbeat interval ranges nearly halved during the study period. Increased physiological coherence is expected to facilitate natural regenerative processes.

Conclusion

The study highlights the pressing need for further research into the effects of electromagnetic radiation on children and adolescents, as they are particularly sensitive to environmental influences. Long-term stress can impair memory and cognitive function at any age. The findings underscore the necessity of developing harmonising products to ensure future generations can live healthily.
