Just a Few Words
on Radiation - But Who Cares?
Have you ever questioned yourself whether
your TV effects your health? And how much the myriad of other domestic
electric devices at your home, job and everywhere radiate powerful
energy right into your body?
Either you had some thoughts about that
or not, this paper will try to put some light on this subject. If
you think this is not important for you ask yourself how often you
use or are close to electronic devices. Then read this paper and
conclude how much you are in danger yourself...
Immediate feel for electric and magnetic
fields
Before believing into something you
would like it to be visible and solid so you can touch it, smell
it, hear it or sense it in some direct way. What we are talking
here is the electromagnetic radiation through air. So how can you
sense it?
Electric field can be immediately sensed under
the very high voltage transmission lines of 230kV. The field can
be sensed over skin and hair. Such field can have the intensity
of 2 kV/m at 1m above the ground.
Magnetic field of 10 mT causes visual flickering
sensation. Magnetic field of such strength cannot be normally produced
by appliances.
So it seems that when considering artificial
radiation caused by human appliances we usually do not feel it at
all. Ok, what seems to be the trouble? Nothing. Oh, except cancer
and leukemia. And a number of other unimportant stuff...
But, let me explain one thing at a time.
Strange new currents in your body
There are two sorts of current caused by
emf radiation from domestic and other appliances that flows in/over
your body: short-circuit current and induced current.
The short-circuit current starts in surrounding,
flows through your body and ends in the surrounding. This is similar
as plugging your TV cable into socket: the current from the socket
"enters" the TV set through one wire of the socket, flows through
TV set where it is used for making the bad stuff you listen every
day, and finally returns back to the socket through the other wire.
In this case you are TV.
The short circuit current flows when you are
in strong electric field, usually over the surface of your skin.
Some measurements are showing about 30 uA (micro amperes) currents
from head to feet and into ground under the 220kV transmission lines.
Induced current is produced by changes of magnetic
field. The currents are circulating through your body. Induced current
has certain similarities with the discharge of accumulator in your
car. In this case you are the accumulator that is being discharged.
These currents are being estimated by formulas because they are
hard to measure directly.
It seems we have two extra currents in
our body - so what?
These extra currents are certainly changing
our body condition. But how much and in what direction? If you continue
reading you will know what we got.
The devil's seed

Simple case 1: it is reported
from several different sources that even very small induced
current STATISTICALLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CANCER CASES
of men's breast. The same is with women breast cancer. The
amount of radiation in these experiments was more then 10
times less then you get with power transformers for example
(only from 0.2 - 1uT).
Simple case 2: air traffic controllers exposed to
microwaves were found to have broken chromosomes. When the
people were taken away from exposure the recovery began with
very slow rate. The exposure frequencies are similar to those
used in your cellular or mobile phones, or microwave oven.
Say hallo to the rest of your chromosomes when talking over
the mobile phone ... |

Simple case 3: the National Cancer Institute
in the US found that in SEVEN INDUSTRIES in the Eastern US there
has been a TENFOLD increase in brain tumor cases between workers
exposed to microwave radiation then with other workers who was not
exposed.
Simple case 4: the medical female operators
exposed to their microwave equipment have 50-60% bigger miscarriage
rate.
Get the idea?
Conclusion
Basically there are no wide and thorough scientific
research on danger that domestic and industrial appliances poses
on our health. But as stated previously there is quite a lot of
evidence that electrical equipment should be widely avoided as far
as possible, at least.
All above reports are very serious indications
of what is going on. The big industries will hardly finance any
more investigations on the subject because of big money involved
in the production of electric appliances. Introduction of any serious
protection from electric devices would lead to high prices and the
intolerable loss for the greedy industry leaders.
So the essence is this: some of us will be
rich and some of us will be (very) dead because they want to be
rich. So simple as that.
