whole subject of electromagnetic fields (EMF means strictly, electromagnetic
force). Microwaves are only part of the whole “radiation” spectrum. Radio
waves, radar, ultraviolet rays, x-rays and gamma rays (radioactivity) are all
biologically harmful. In fact I have commented before that it’s rather a miracle
that warmth and light, which are also part of the electromagnetic spectrum,
should be biologically friendly, when other radiations are definitely not.
So despite the flimflam from the utility services, the smokescreen from their hired
specialists, lobbying from special interest groups and scientists who have their
heads stuck in the sand, you need to be clear about one thing: the huge amount
of radiation that were currently exposed to is all potentially dangerous and well
able to cause malignant disease and provoke its further growth.
Moreover, there is a catch to this. Radiation of all kinds is known to be a
cumulative phenomenon in a person’s lifetime. It is wicked and scientifically
dishonest to say normal radiation levels from a mobile phone are “safe”. It
depends entirely on what exposures that individual has had during his or her
lifetime. If he or she has been loaded already, then it only takes a small amount
of extra radiation to put him or her firmly into the danger zone.
So am I recommending you run for cover and hide? No, because you can’t really
escape this force anyway. The NY and Tokyo Stock Exchanges go through our
bodies every day, along with countless soaps, hundreds of thousands of radio
stations playing music; plus, of course, other people’s cell phones, even if we
don’t have one.
Whereas I wouldn’t encourage anyone to try and buy their own island in the
middle of the ocean to get free of all this, neither would I encourage anyone to
ignore it. Just be sensible.
I think it’s important if you’ve had a significant health negative (like developing
cancer) that you consider this is one of the potential input causes. If it transpires
that you are subject to a higher than average intensity of radiation then I
think it’s only logical that you try and reduce it. It doesn’t matter if Professor
MumbleJumble was on CNN news yesterday morning saying it’s all a hoax and
there is no risk.
The first thing you have to do is to establish the scale a problem in your
environment and there are various ways you can do this using hand-held field
detection meters, which you can buy most places for under $100 each. You have
the possibility of measuring the magnetic field (a gauss meter) or the electrical
