Cancer Causing PLASMA TV
Screens
TVs with a plasma screen emit high magnetic
and electric fields that reach a 6ft radius
around them. However, battery operated remote
controls are quite safe.
What you can do:
Always sit at least 6ft
from the screen - and remember that EMFs
travel through walls. If you have a plasma
screen TV in your bedroom, it should be
at least 6ft from your pillows.
Dirty Electricity
and Other EMFs are Dangerous to Your Health
Experts now believe there
is a strong correlation between the increased
exposure to electrical contaminates in the
home and the dramatic increase in a phenomenon
originally known as “Radio
Wave Sickness” now classified
as "Electrical
Hypersensitivity" and also known
by other names such as Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity
and electro-impairment.
Today, more and more people
are experiencing symptoms of EHS and other
more serous ailments as a result of the
increased daily exposure to Dirty Electricity
and EMFs from other sources like cellular
and wireless devices.
Studies have shown that
EMF contamination affects children more
than adults, and the huge increase in electromagnetic
energy in today's modern electronic environment
coincides with an alarming increase in new-age
ailments such as Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome linked to chronic pain
(also called fibromyalgia) and with
the huge spike in childhood cancers, asthma,
autism, ADD/ADHD and physiological and behavioral
problems in children. EMFs have also
been linked to breast
cancer.
Research
indicates that EMFs suppress the immune
system's response to ongoing processes such
as tumor growth. In men, EMFs reduced testosterone
– a hormone drop that has been linked
to testicular and prostate cancers.
In
women there is strong scientific evidence
linking ongoing exposure to EMFs and the
huge increase in breast cancer in recent
years. Dr. David Carpenter, Dean at the
School of Public Health, State University
of New York believes it is likely that up
to 30% of all childhood cancers come from
exposure to EMFs.
A scientific report released
in 1994 suggested a possible link between
occupational EMF exposure and increased
incidence of Alzheimer's disease. This study
also found a higher incidence of Alzheimer's
disease among tailors and dressmakers.
Exposure to high-energy
radiation and intense exposure to low-energy
radiation from power lines, electric wiring
and appliances have been strongly linked
to leukemia.

Wiring: A Missing Link to Increasing Diabetes
and Asthma?
Investigators demonstrated
an increase of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
deaths among employees of Ontario Hydro
Electric as exposure to electric fields
increased above thresholds of 10 and 40
Volts/meter over a period of several years.
Scientists in Russia have
done more studies on EMF than any other
country and for decades have been reporting
that electric fields cause high blood pressure,
chronic stress effects, immune system dysfunction,
changes in white and red blood cell counts,
increased metabolism, chronic fatigue disorders
and headaches.

The Health Effects of Electrical Pollution
The government of Sweden
funded an official, massive study of the
effects of electric fields from overhead
power lines on 500,000 people over a period
of 25 years and found overwhelming evidence
that electric fields generated cancer in
children at 4 times the normal rate and
tripled the rate in adults. Sweden now lists
electromagnetic fields (EMF) as Class 2
Carcinogens, right along with tobacco.
In a draft report issued
in March 1990, the EPA recommended that
EMFs be classified as a Class B carcinogen
– a "probable human carcinogen
and joined the ranks of formaldehyde, DDT,
dioxins and PCBs.Martin Halper, the EPA's
Director of Analysis and Support says "I
have never seen a set of epidemiological
studies that remotely approached the weight
of evidence that we're seeing with EMFs.
Clearly there is something here."
The US Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) warns: "There is reason
for concern" and advises "prudent
avoidance." See

is Genotoxic

“Our results
strongly suggest that (electrical) transients
are biologically active within the frequency
range of 4 to 100kHz and at intensities
currently found in homes and schools."
