Electrical Pollution: What's It's Doing to You and Your Clients?

Author: Shivani Arjuna R.P.P

I recently took a crash course in electrical pollution. I crashed, so of course I had to find out why in order to remedy the situation! What I have learned and experienced have convinced me that electrical pollution is a major cause of our health problems.

Electrical pollution, invisible, silent, odorless, tasteless, is the perfect pollutant. We have not evolved any methods of sensing its presence. A few people, like me, have become "electrically sensitive" and are able to know when we are being exposed due to immediate symptoms that we experience, but most people, even if exposed to levels and wave lengths that are literally killing them, remain
unaware. Even when they do experience palpable sensations, the cause simply does not occur to them.

Everyone living in areas of the world with electricity is being negatively affected. It is only a question of degree. (Dr. Neil Cherry, Evidence that Electromagnetic Radiation is Genotoxic: the implications for the epidemiology of cancer and cardiac, neurological and reproductive effects. His presentation to New Zealand Parliament in May 2000, European Parliament in June, 2000. Look for link at www. electricalpollution.com/ Dr. Cherry’s work is monumental.)

Electricity is termed “dirty” or polluted when the normal 60 cycle sine wave carries with it various high frequencies, which damage electronics and living beings. Industry and large corporations spend billions to protect their electronic equipment from this, but nobody is looking out for humans.

The present pollution is created as electricity passes through anything electronic, which “chops up” the sine wave and then dumps these high frequencies into the current as it is passed on. This RF (radio frequency) energy causes neurological, cardiac, respiratory, ophthalmological, dermatological and other conditions ranging in severity from headaches, fatigue and ADD to pneumonia, psychosis and strokes. (“No Place To Hide” Volume 3, Number 1, April 2001, “Special Issue on Russian and Ukrainian Research” by Arthur Firstenberg. Article can be obtained at (718)
434-4499 or see at www.electricalpollution.com/) Childhood leukemia is markedly higher in areas with electrical pollution. (Savitz, D.A. et al. 1988. Case Control Study of CHILDHOOD CANCER and Residential Exposure to 60(c)Hz Magnetic Fields. American Journal of Epidemiology 128(1):21(c)38.).

In “the old days” before electronics, electrical power was polluted at the source, by brushes in the generators. A monumental epidemiological study using childhood leukemia as a marker found an absolutely correlating increase in this disease in areas of the USA, Africa and Europe as they sequentially became electrified. (Samuel Milham & E.M. Ossiander, Historical evidence that residential electrification caused the emergence of childhood leukemia peak, Medical Hypotheses, vol. 56, #3, 2001, pp. 290-295) Generators now produce clean power but modern pollution levels are much higher due to electronics.

For every electron that leaves a substation, one must return. As electricity polluted with high frequencies likes to spread out in what is called the skin effect, the presently inadequate utility wiring system causes 70% of the return current to flow across the surface of the earth. Most people think the earth soaks up electricity like a sponge. It does not. Electricity just flows over the surface,
like water over a brick. This ground current is attracted to, and enters your home on, water pipes, gas mains and phone lines, greatly increasing the amount of high-frequency exposure you already have from your own electrical service. Various metal structures in your home, from wiring and lamp cords to fins in electric baseboards and the metal springs in your bed actually broadcast these harmful frequencies right through your body 24 hours a day, whether or not any electrical appliances in your house are turned on. In many places attempts to ground bring in more current
than they take out!

You may have read that strong EMF is created by your refrigerator, hair dryer, etcetera. This is true, but the electronics in your house are really quite a small part of the picture as electricity is already extremely RF-polluted when it enters your home, from everybody "upstream." It is not commonly known even by those who write on this subject, nor by many who do professional remediation, that the RF is the main culprit.

Doctors are as unaware of this situation as everyone else, so the best way to determine whether someone's health problems are related to RF is to lower the RF levels and see what happens. In schools and homes where RF remediation has been done, many kids with Attention Deficit Disorder suddenly don't have it any more, and teachers with mysterious maladies that kept them from working a full work week now don't miss a day. Many chronic headaches and complaints of chronic tiredness melt away. (Melrose Chronicle, Melrose, WI, U.S.A. 2/26/03) Kids who had such severe
asthma they needed nebulizer treatments no longer do. Many diabetics find that their need for insulin drops dramatically or even ends when they avoid RF, and conversely that it increases when they are exposed. (My friend and mentor Dave Stetzer’s blood sugar skyrockets within minutes when he is exposed to RF, which seems to be the sole causative factor. To date, the blood sugar of every person he has tested is affected within minutes.)

Animals are equally affected. Cows give up to 10 more pounds of milk per day on the days when the RF in their environment is low (Donald Hillman et al, Relationship of Electric Power Quality to Milk Production of Dairy Herds, Shocking News, 9/11/02 Also avail. at www.electricalpollution.com), and 20 pounds more if power quality is remediated and remains clean. (Conversation with power quality expert Dave Stetzer.) If your dog sits on the roof of his dog house, this may be why!

My own story illustrates both the effects of RF exposure and the challenges of dealing with them in a meaningful way. We live in rural Wisconsin, U.S.A. in a Winnie-the-Pooh three-acre beech and maple woods surrounded by farm fields and more woods. Deer and an occasional wild turkey wander through the yard and organic garden and the loudest noise is made by crows. Not a place where you’d expect to find dangerous environmental pollution, so that was not a suspect when I began to have "spells." Although I have always had low blood pressure, I began experiencing spells of a sudden and sharp rise in blood pressure with skyrocketing pulse rate and frightening cardiac arrhythmia. I was taken to the ER by ambulance twice, but by the time I got there pronounced normal. $18,000 worth of medical tests found nothing to account for these and other bizarre symptoms, so doctors finally pronounced that I was having "panic attacks" and prescribed beta blockers, which force the heart into a regular 72 beats a minute and turn you into a zombie, in my experience. I refused them. Insomnia increased to the point where I was sleeping, in broken bits, from 3-5 hours a night. I felt as if I was made out of paper. Sometimes just breathing and walking were very taxing. My anxiety level was extreme, my adrenals were exhausted and my thyroid needed help from hormone replacement. Already slender, I became a shadow. I wasn't sure I was going to survive.

I had read a bit about EMF a few years before, and it occurred to me to try some experiments, such as sleeping in different places in the house. I noticed immediate symptoms if I went near a TV, a telephone, a car fan, the water pipes in our house.... (Later I would discover I had become “electrically sensitive,” a sort of walking EMF meter, affected by dimmer switches, electric heating systems, computers in banks and post offices, the chair at the dentist’s office, .... )

At least now I had a clue. I was very fortunate to be put in touch with power quality engineer Dave Stetzer, who graciously taught me about power quality and what I needed to do to clean up my immediate environment and save my life. We did experiments and took readings with a variety of meters and gizmos, indoors and out. We put in shielded phone lines, moved water pipes, replaced the first 4 feet of our water pipe with PVC (Helps 50%. RF still comes in via the water itself.), gutted
old electric baseboards that though disconnected were broadcasting RF over large areas including our bedroom. We installed RF filters, took out dimmer switches and fluorescent lights, sold the aquarium, got me a speaker phone and a laptop computer I use on battery only, and I avoid the high-field parts of the yard.

With each of these steps results were immediate and dramatic. The cardiac symptoms ceased. I was able to sleep. My anxiety level dropped. My recovery has been steady and I am now much better. Only, however, to the extent to which I am able to avoid RF! I remain electrically sensitive to date, and my activities are severely circumscribed. I am almost entirely a stay-at-home. Even here, the RF is not totally unavoidable when the power is on. I am better on days when I spend a lot of
time away from the house in areas free of ground current, and in warm weather when we can turn the main off at night.

This article is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Toxic electricity is a chronic, severe stress, affecting virtually everyone, that only increases as the pollution proliferates. I offer the following points and ideas for your further consideration.

- I know health practitioners who wonder why many of their clients, in spite of doing "all the right things" still have such serious problems. No one has thought to check what RF they are living in.

- I used to give Polarity sessions to a woman who lived across the street from a hefty electric cable. No matter what I did, nothing happened! It was so bizarre, as if something was canceling out the energy. Finally I became aware and took meter readings. Her apartment had EMF high enough to cause childhood leukemia. What was that doing to her? To me? To the Polarity sessions?

- Under this stress, it seems that people develop different conditions due to their own inherent weakest links, so to speak, one getting diabetes while another develops Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

- The particular wavelengths one is exposed to are relevant, as is the strength of the field. As these two vary, different "windows" are created, with varying effects. US military research shows that particular wavelengths cause different symptoms. (Charles Polk & Elliot Pastow, Handbook of Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields, 2nd ed. 1996) (The military knows the specific wave lengths to cause depression or rage or incite crowds to riot.) Also, each individual is a unique
receiving antenna. For instance, one' s height affects which wavelengths one receives most easily. ( Polk, ibid. chapter 9) Weight and fat/water content play roles, as do metals in the body. ( C. Polk & J.H. Song, Electric fields induced by LF magnetic fields in inhomogenous biological structures... Bioelectromagnetics vol. 11, 235-249, 1990)

- I and many others experience much more affect from broad area RF when lying down than when standing. This is not so strange, as research shows ants realign the way they hold their antenna and bodies when they are exposed to EMF. (B. Blake Levitt, Electromagnetic Fields, Harcourt Brace, 1995) Not only is our "antenna” tilted at a different angle why we are horizontal, but we also have greater electrical potential the further apart our "poles" are. This is one reason livestock suffer so much.

- Another factor is that the loads on the electric lines are different at different times of day and different days of the week. The RF at your house will also vary depending on what the people “upstream” from you are using current for.

- The belief that only ionizing (heating) radiation can harm living organisms has been absolutely disproven, yet persists as the basis for “official” exposure guidelines.

- The current induced in the body is a product of field strength and frequency. A field oscillating at 180 Hz induces three times the current in you as a 60-cycle field does. In such a field, every cell in the body will experience a shift in polarity 180 times a second!

- Living organisms are sensitive electromagnetic systems that run on millivolts. Vanishingly small charges far below the threshold of awareness affect them. (Exposure guidelines set by utility-supported "experts" are still based on voltage. Remember that the frequency of the field or current is the key factor!)

- Our natural body currents are DC. Earth itself has a very strong DC field with which we evolved. AC is damaging to living systems, inducing currents within them which DC does not.

- The Earth's field fluctuates with time of day. Different organ systems of the body are more energized at different times of day. In fact, sensitivity to the minute fluxes in the Earth’s natural magnetic field is the most important component of our circadian rhythms. (Levitt, ibid., 118-120) How are these affected by EMF?

- If the electrical pollution is riding on the Earth’s natural electromagnetic grid lines, what are the ramifications?

- We are particularly sensitive to EMF during sleep, the time when various healing activities take place in the body. (It is interesting that the front-to-back polarity of our brains reverses during this time,) (Levitt, ibid. 133) The effects of spending eight hours asleep in toxic electrical field are very serious.

- The polarity of cells is disrupted by EMF and currents, with profound effects. Healthy cells have: polarized walls with positive charge outside, negative inside; few and small pores in cell walls; calcium ions mostly outside cells; ability to communicate with other cells via molecules; ability to attract attaching information-bearing molecules. Their ability to choose what to allow in and out depends on electrical charges on ions like calcium, sodium, proteins, sugars, hormones, etcetera, as well as pore size and cell wall polarity. Cells affected by EMF and currents: lose polarity; have calcium ions equally inside and out; lose ability to manufacture enzymes; have cell walls with more and larger pores; allowing waste molecules to penetrate the cell. If the field or current is of long duration, the cells die. This is called electroporation. (J.C. Weaver, Molecular basis for cell
membrane electroporation, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Vol. 720, pp. 141-152, 1994. Several more references listed in CURE booklet.)

- Melatonin production is decreased by exposure to EMF. Though most known as the hormone necessary for good sleep, melatonin has such numerous functions that health is not possible when it is insufficient. Besides regulating our internal clock, it affects gonadal hormones, moods and behavior and the immune system and exerts direct effects on the growth of cancers in the breast, prostate and colon. 1(R.P. Liburdy et al, ELF magnetic fields, breast cancer and melatonin, Journal of Pineal Research,vol. 14, p. 89, 1993)

- Safety standards are based on exposures considered safe for the average adult male, however children are more affected by EMF than adults. The greater the cell division rate, the more chances for something to go wrong, and the growth processes themselves are affected by EMF, babies in utero being most affected. Field-created defects are permanent and are passed on to succeeding generations, for instance the inheritance of brain-tumor tendency in children of men with high occupational exposures. ( Dr. S Nordstrum, "Effects of paternal EMF exposure on offspring,
Bioelectromagnetics, vol. 4, pp. 91-101, 1983) "There may also be frequency-specific windows for different organ systems, meaning that certain exposures may be particularly detrimental at fixed times during fetal growth." (Levitt, ibid.)

- Resonance occurs when an aspect of a force, such its wave length, matches a characteristic of an object receiving the force. This allows the power inherent in the force to be maximally transferred to the object, causing it to vibrate. (The crystal goblet when the opera singer hits high C, for instance.) Within the object, the resonance is self-perpetuating! You and I are objects being thus affected.
Similarly, trees resonate extremely well to microwaves, leading to deforestation, particularly in mountainous regions where the microwaves bounce off the angles of the slopes. (Wolfgang Voldtrodt, Electromagnetic Pollution of the Environment, Environment and Health: A Holistic Approach, ch. 8. Avebury Press, 1989)

- Dr. Robert Becker theorizes that healers can sense a disease site in a person's body through radiating an electromagnetic field from their hands which induces EM resonance in the patient, the return signal then being felt by the healer. A resonant action occurs between the fields given off by the healer and the intrinsic electrical-control systems within the patient's body. "While these currents have a vanishingly small flow, they would nonetheless produce local DC magnetic fields
within the tissues. These fields, in combination with a frequency given off by the healer, could result in resonance with other charged particles." As the theory rests on complex resonance, the Earth's magnetic field must be involved. Therefore, Dr. Becker reasons that healers will have greater diagnostic and healing ability during times of quiet geomagnetic field conditions and those abilities will be adversely affected by magnetic storms and locations in which man-made magnetic fields or
extra low frequency (ELF) fields are present. (Becker, Cross Currents, 240-241) An important issue for Polarity therapists to consider and research!

- Cyclotron resonance enables very low-strength EM fields, acting in concert with the Earth’s steady-state magnetic field, to produce major biological effects by concentrating the energy in the applied field upon specific particles, such as the biologically important ions of sodium, calcium, potassium, and lithium.” This resonance is produced by frequencies between 1 and 100 hertz. European
electricity is 50 hertz and N. American is 60 hertz! Yet safety standards have been based on power, not frequency. (Becker, ibid. 235)

- Dr. Becker believes "That humans interact so fundamentally with the earth's magnetic fields...may be the most important biological discovery of the 20th century." It may also be a hidden variable in all research.

- The effect of microwaves is also vital to understand. One point to be aware of is that microwave exposure breaks down the blood/brain barrier. (Bertril R. Persson, Blood-brain barrier permeability in rats exposed to EM fields used in wireless communication, Wireless Networks, Vol. 3 #5, pp. 455-561, 1997. Also learn more at www.microwavenews.com/ )

- Regarding effects of eating microwaved food, see article at www.mercola.
com/article/microwave/hazards.htm For example, habitual eating of such food causes long term permanent brain damage by "shorting out" electrical impulses in the brain due to depolarization of the brain tissue. Microwaving food also destroys nutrients and creates carcinogens.

-Dreadfully fascinating is the military use of electricity and microwaves. Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons technology used in the Gulf War may be responsible for a good deal of the damage to veterans resulting in Gulf War Syndrome. The symptoms are almost exactly those of RF toxicity. The GWEN and HARP ground wave transmissions are another silent and imperceptible exposure for Americans. "GWEN is a superb system, in combination with cyclotron resonance, for producing behavioral alterations in the civilian population." The military has also developed high-power pulsed microwave weapons that penetrate all bodily systems. These couple with the central nervous system and yield "prompt debilitation." (Becker, ibid. 303-304)

- The human body is a highly sensitive electromagnetic energy system. We need to learn as much as possible about how this system is affected by external electric fields entering the body!

- Presently, no one is looking out for individuals regarding EMF. Both military and utility establishments exercise their undemocratic freedom in ways very harmful to the citizenry. We must educate ourselves and take protective measures on our own.

Report: Serious Health Issues Raised Over EMFs

2008-05-29T14:34:00.005-04:00

University of Albany, New York– August 31, 2007

Serious Public Health Concerns Raised Over Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) from Power Lines and Cell Phones

An international working group of scientists, researchers and public health policy professionals (The BioInitiative Working Group) has released its report on electromagnetic fields (EMF) and health. It raises serious concern about the safety of existing public limits that regulate how much EMF is allowable from power lines, cell phones, and many other sources of EMF exposure in daily life..

Electromagnetic radiation from such sources as electric power lines, interior wiring and grounding of buildings and appliances are linked to increased risks for childhood leukemia and may set the stage for adult cancers later in life. A report from the BioInitiative Working Group (www.bioinitiative.org) released on Friday, August 31st documents the scientific evidence that power line EMF exposure is responsible for hundreds of new cases of childhood leukemia every year in the United States and around the world.

The report provides detailed scientific information on health impacts when people are exposed to electromagnetic radiation hundreds or even thousands of times below limits currently established by the Federal Communications Commission(US FCC) and International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection in Europe (ICNIRP).

The authors reviewed more than 2000 scientific studies and reviews, and concluded that the existing public safety limits are inadequate to protect public health. From a public health policy standpoint, new public safety limits, and limits on further deployment of risky technologies are warranted based on the total weigh of evidence.

The report documents scientific evidence raising worries about childhood leukemia(from power lines and other electrical exposures), brain tumors and acoustic neuromas (from cell and cordless phones) and Alzheimer’s disease. There is evidence that EMF is a risk factor for both childhood and adult cancers. Public health expert and co-editor of the Report Dr. David Carpenter, Director,Institute for Health and the Environment at the University of Albany, New York says “this report stands as a wake-up call that long-term exposure to some kinds of EMF may cause serious health effects. Good public health planning is needed now to prevent cancers and neurological diseases linked to exposure to power lines and other sources of EMF. We need to educate people and our decisionmakers that “business as usual” is unacceptable.”

Health questions about power line EMFs were initially raised by Nancy Wertheimer, a Colorado public health expert and Ed Leeper, an electrical engineer in 1979. She noticed that children were twice or three times as likely to have leukemia tended to live in homes in the Denver, CO area close to power lines and transformers. Now, there are dozens of studies confirming the link, but public health response has been slow in coming, and new standards to protect the public are necessary.

Brain tumor specialist Dr. Lennart Hardell, MD, PhD and Professor at University Hospital in Orebro, Sweden is a member of the BioInitiative Working Group. His work on cell phones, cordless phones and brain tumors is widely recognized to be pivotal in the debate about the safety of wireless radiofrequency and microwave radiation. The evidence for risks from prolonged cell phone and cordless phone use is quite strong when you look at people who have used these devices for 10 years or longer, and when they are used mainly on one side of the head.

Brain tumors normally take a long time to develop, on the order of 15 to 20 years. Use of a cell or cordless phone is linked to brain tumors and acoustic neuromas(tumor of the auditory nerve in the brain) and are showing up after only 10 years (a shorter time period than for most other known carcinogens). “This indicates we need research on more long-term users to understand the full risks” says Dr.Hardell.

Dr. Hardell’s work has been confirmed in other studies on long-term users. A summary estimate of all studies on brain tumors shows overall a 20% increased risk of brain tumor (malignant glioma) with ten years of use. But the risk increases to 200% (a doubling of risk) for tumors on the same side of the brain as mainly used during cell phone calls. “Recent studies that do not report increased risk of brain tumors and acoustic neuromas have not looked at heavy users, use over ten years or longer, and do not look at the part of the brain which would reasonably have exposure to produce a tumor.”

Wireless technologies that rely on microwave radiation to send emails and voice communication are thousands of times stronger than levels reported to cause some health impacts. Prolonged exposure to radiofrequency and microwave radiation from cell phones, cordless phones, cell towers, WI-FI and other wireless technologies have linked to physical symptoms including headache, fatigue, sleeplessness, dizziness, changes in brainwave activity, and impairment of concentration and memory. Scientists report that these effects can occur with even very small levels of exposure, if it occurs on a daily basis. Children in particular are vulnerable to harm from environmental exposures of all kinds.

Co-editor of the report, Cindy Sage of Sage Associates says “public health and EMF policy experts have now given their opinion of the weight of evidence. The existing FCC and international limits for public and occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation are not protective of public health. New biologically-based public and occupational exposure are recommended to address bioeffects and potential adverse health effects of chronic exposure. These effects are now widely reported to occur at exposure levels significantly below most current national and international limits.”

Biologically-based exposure standards are needed to prevent disruption of normal body processes. Effects are reported for DNA damage (genotoxicity that is directly linked to integrity of the human genome), cellular communication, cellular metabolism and repair, cancer surveillance within the body; and for protection against cancer and neurological diseases. Also reported are neurological effects including changes in brainwave activity during cell phone calls, impairment of memory, attention and cognitive function; sleep disorders, cardiac effects; and changes in immune function (allergic and inflammatory responses).

Sage says “the Working Group recommends a biologically-based exposure limit that is protective against extremely-low frequency (power line) and radiofrequency fields which, with chronic exposure, can reasonably be presumed to result in significant impacts to health and well-being”. Contributing author Dr. Martin Blank, Columbia University professor and researcher in bioelectromagnetics says “cells in the body react to EMFs as potentially harmful, just like to other environmental toxins, including heavy metals and toxic chemicals.

The DNA in living cells recognizes electromagnetic fields at very low levels of exposure; and produces a biochemical stress response. The scientific evidence tells us that our safety standards are inadequate, and that we must protect ourselves from exposure to EMF due to powerlines, cell phones and the like.” He wrote the section on stress proteins for the BioInitiative Report.

Electromagnetic Pollution and Schumann Resonance.

And here is the rest of it.

How to Choose A Home

2008-05-21T08:13:00.003-04:00

Here is an interesting and informative article by Christan Hummel from Earth Transitions that summaries some of the important aspects one should consider if they are looking for a new home.

Most people know intuitively what parameters would enhance or diminish the quality of their life when looking for a house. However, many important factors are overlooked in favour of less geobiologically significant elements.

After our dermas and clothing, the house is our third skin and a very important factor in keeping healthy. We should remember that when choosing a house or a site we are defining our future quality of life. Geobiology proposes coherent and structured ways to establish the important criteria bearing on this choice. It suggests the following rules of thumb.

SURROUNDINGS:
Harmony between nature and the inhabitants, flowery gardens, trees absorbing dust and producing oxygen.

Compact and hard ground, stony or sandy.

Atmosphere rich in negative ions, near parks, forest or ocean.

Orientation towards North and West for the living area.

Area with little or no noise, away from high power lines and transformers.

Locate the perturbated zones or have them located.

HOUSE:
Construction materials of high natural quality such as wood, stone, bricks and tiles.

Dimensions respecting the human scale, good relation between height, width and length.

Insulation with cork, coco fibre or mineral wool.

Non toxic paint, take notice of the influence of colours (chromotherapy).

Electricity; avoid the transformation of the bedroom into a research laboratory with TV, radio and other electric appliances. The ideal solution would be to be able to switch off the bedroom areas for the night to avoid long exposure to electromagnetic fields (the effects of these fields can be enhanced by metal beds).

Floor coverings made out of natural materials such as terra cotta tiles, cork, wood, woollen carpets or plant fibres.

It is not recommended to have a bedroom situated over a garage. The metallic mass of cars is a strong agent of disturbance of the natural magnetic field.

It is best to sleep with the head of the bed pointing North as to be aligned with the geomagnetic field.

CONCLUSION:
The Ancients translated in their stone temples the great laws of the universe. They all based themselves on the same principles using the cosmo - tellurian forces. Their dynamic complementarily generated a third vital element for Man, the evolution of all things. We must now rediscover these laws hidden in each of us and communicate them to our constructions, from the most modest to the most sumptuous. Such a realization is possible on three levels:

The technical level, product of reason using the laws of mechanics, physics, chemistry and astrophysics to determine the choice of the materials and the site. The harmonic level, the human soul rejoicing in the vital movements of cosmic cycles.

The symbolic level, the knowledge enabling the elaboration of the "Axis Mundi" and Man's spiritual matrix. This level constitutes the intimate ties giving the other two levels their real grandeur.

When these three levels are balanced the building becomes an architectural medicine, a physical, psychological and spiritual harmony.

Geopathic Stress and Animals

2008-05-16T06:10:00.003-04:00

Here is an interesting article I came across that discussed the effects of Geopathic Stress on Animals. For those of you who have a sick pet or animal, you may find this especially interesting....

"I first came across mention of it in an article in the Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, in which the author suggested that, when there were many members of a family (animal and human) that had chronic or frequent health problems that did not respond very well to treatment, it would be worth while looking at geopathic stress as a cause. .

We had major health problems with our hounds and our sheep, so called in a dowser to check out the farm and buildings. He found that our sheep house was built over three lines of geopathic stress, so that the whole building was affected. The area we kept the rams in had several lines running through it, and all but one of our fields was affected by several lines. We housed our sheep overwinter and had had major problems each year with just about every health problem known to sheep, and animals dying suddenly. One of the rooms in the kennel block had a line running right through the bed, and every hound that had lived in that room had died of cancer of some kind. The house itself was clear of lines but the whelping room had two running through it.

The dowser felt there was nothing to be done about the lines except move animals away, but I looked more into the matter and discovered that there were ways of neutralising the energies, which is what we did and had immediate improvement in the sheep's health, with no more sudden deaths. I started dowsing and finding lines of geopathic stress for myself.

A friend in America wrote to say that her young dog had developed bone cancer, which all her hounds had died of. This seemed to me almost certainly a case of geopathic stress, so I did some dowsing and then rang and told her that her kennels and all but one room of her house were affected by geopathic stress. She called in dowsers who confirmed my findings; the kennels were both built over crossed lines, which gives rise to the strongest effects, and the house was affected by a grid with only one room clear apart from the area close to one wall.

I dowsed in one house where there were three Great Danes. They had a line of bedding along the wall of the staircase and their person told me that the three would battle over which part they were to sleep on (they were not allowed to sleep elsewhere but had to go on that bedding) and the one lowest in the pack heirarchy always ended up sleeping at one end, which was where I found a line of g.s. He had had chronic health problems all his life and had now (aged five) developed cancer.

It used to be that before a house was built, a flock of sheep would be driven on to the planned site. If they settled down happily, then the house would be built but if they would not settle but kept trying to get away, then another site would be found. Animals are very sensitive to areas affected by geopathic stress and will mostly try to get away from it, although cats are a bit inclined to seek out lines of geopathic stress. Ant hills are often to be found on lines outdoors. One person's dog would only sleep curled into a ball in an area just in front of the television in the sitting room and that turned out to be the only part of the house, except for the porch, that was not affected by a grid of geopathic stress.

There are a number of devices that can be used to deal with the effects of geopathic stress. These are usually plugged in to the electric circuit (although they don't actually run on electricity) and will deal with the whole building but not the outdoors. There are small devices that can be carried around in order to protect the person from geopathic stress found when away from home, such as in shops or hotels. It is often the case that a person who has been exposed to geopathic stress for a long period or at a high rate becomes very sensitive to it for a time wherever they find it, once their own home has been protected, and some people even get withdrawal symptoms from no longer being affected.

In some homes there may be just a single line of geopathic stress that was running through a person's bed or favourite chair and it is usually considered enough to move the bed or chair away from the line. Where there are several lines, particularly if lines cross, it is probably best to use some sort of a device, although some people will use crystals instead.

So how would you know if you are affected by geopathic stress? If you and/or your family and/or animals have health problems that developed following a move to your present home, especially if these problems do not respond to treatment, or only respond to a certain degree, or as soon as one thing clears up another develops. If you or they feel better when away from home. If the "feeling" about your home causes uneasiness in some members of your family or in some visitors, or if your animals try to avoid certain areas in the home. If the previous occupants suffered serious illness. These are all pointers to the possibility of geopathic stress being present

How we dealt with the lines of geopathic stress that affected our farm buildings and kennel block was by tracing where the lines entered our property and deflecting them by means of a piece of angle iron driven into the ground where each line came into our farm land. However, this would not be a reasonable method to use in blocks or estates of houses, because it would be sending the lines into other peoples' property."

Reducing Manmade Electro-Magnetic Stress in Your Home
Call in an electrician to check your wiring, if your home has not been rewired for more than 20 years.

Be aware where you position TVs, hi-fis, computers and battery chargers, as their EMFs can penetrate through walls.

Avoid installing a satellite dish on the wall immediately behind the bed area, or make sure the television is earthed.

Use battery alarm clocks, instead of electric ones, or keep them at least four feet away from the bed.

Do not trail or coil wires under beds and turn off and unplug any equipment immediately behind them (apart from side lights).

Avoid placing a bed above fluorescent lights in the kitchen, as these emit radiation which can cause bed springs to be passive resonators of EMFs.

Do not have the meter and fuse box in the bedroom, or directly above or below the bed areas. This is particularly important in children's rooms.

If you insist on keeping your microwave, unplug it when not in use and do not put it under the central heating boiler as the microwave radiation may affect the water in your system. Microwaves will also travel into nearby refrigerators and food cupboards, affecting the quality of food.

Understanding Wireless Phones

2008-05-13T22:24:00.004-04:00

Wireless telephones are hand-held phones with built-in antennas, often called cell, mobile, or PCS phones. These phones are popular with callers because they can be carried easily from place to place.

Wireless telephones are two-way radios. When you talk into a wireless telephone, it picks up your voice and converts the sound to radiofrequency energy (or radio waves). The radio waves travel through the air until they reach a receiver at a nearby base station. The base station then sends your call through the telephone network until it reaches the person you are calling.

When you receive a call on your wireless telephone, the message travels through the telephone network until it reaches a base station close to your wireless phone. Then the base station sends out radio waves that are detected by a receiver in your telephone, where the signals are changed back into the sound of a voice.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) each regulate wireless telephones. FCC ensures that all wireless phones sold in the United States follow safety guidelines that limit radiofrequency (RF) energy. FDA monitors the health effects of wireless telephones. Each agency has the authority to take action if a wireless phone produces hazardous levels of RF energy.

FDA derives its authority to regulate wireless telephones from the Radiation Control provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (originally enacted as the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968). [http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/comp/eprc.html].

FCC derives its authority to regulate wireless telephones from the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and the Telecommunications Act of 1996 [http://www.fcc.gov/telecom.html].

Electro Pollution

2008-05-12T03:12:00.000-04:00

"High magnetic fields interfere with the cell membrane and make it highly penetrable. This way, people get toxic acidic shocks. The protective barrier is out of balance, is confused, which leads to diseases like cancer, arthritis and depression".

The confused cell is explained in Reinhard Kanuka-Fuchs book "Healthy Home – Healthy Office" as follows: "What are the changes that take place in this process? Hormones play a key role in regulating most of the functions of our cells, tissues and organs, ie. cell growth, differentiation, reproduction and immune response.

They may carry nerve impulses from the brain across the cell membrane as neuron transmitters, or bind with receptors on the cell membrane. Melatonin, which regulates our biological clock and influences our mood, will inhibit tumour growth and fight cancer. Calcium ions are released by receptors and stored as primary messengers of our cells in the cell membrane.

They also stimulate production of enzymes, which regulate the tumour killing of lymphocyte cells. Individual cells are found to communicate electromagnetically with hormones as chemical messengers, providing a sort of postal system and with nerve cells as a "hard wired" network providing the telegraphic system. Coherent oscillations along a chain of cells resonating at the same frequency can act in a "line-of-sight" communication network, providing a type of "bucket chain-brigade". Polarisation and depolarisation may proceed as a travelling wave along the cells. These electrical potentials provide a homeostatic regulatory system together with direction determining functions of ferromagnetic materials in cells".

Magnetic fields are present nearly everywhere in every modern house, since our power lines and appliances deliver not only the necessary electricity to run your washing machine, stereo, TV and so on, but pollute at the same time your home environment with magnetic fields and frequencies. You can shield electro-pollution to a certain degree but you will have a problem with magnetic fields and frequencies. This fact creates a big problem, since magnetic fields can confuse the cells by changing their chemistry.

Magnetic Fields Can Change the pH of Blood

R. Barefoot and Carl Reich, M.D. wrote in the book "The Calcium Factor – The scientific Secret of Health and Youth" the following: "Exposure to uncontrolled magnetic fields can have the opposite effect on the bio-electric body". Using a "North Pole" magnet, he demonstrates that calcium bicarbonate breaks, under the influence of a negative magnetic field, into calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide. Water can change under the influence of a North Pole magnet from 7.5 to 9.2 and blood from 7.2 (which is too acid for blood) to 7.5 (which is too alkaline for blood).

How Can You Protect Yourself from Electro-Pollution?

The following is extracted from the book "Pollution Solutions"
Inform yourself, read, research and observe, measure with a Gauss meter.

Take action, participate in training seminars, and help yourself, your family
and others.

Educate others and tell friends, children, employer, doctors etc.

Keep 1 metre distance from electro-pollutants.

Reduce the time of exposure, make breaks so your system can realign.

Reduce the level of field strength, if possible with shields etc.

Consider possible synergetic (interactive) effects with chemicals etc.

Increase your health condition, immune system and discharge your body often.

Regain response ability. Empower yourself. Don't rely on authorities.

Support "Prudent avoidance" schemes locally, nationally and internationally.

Remove as many electrical devices from the bedroom as possible.

Unplug and discharge appliances if necessary.

Stay away from conductive materials such as metals.

Avoid metal spring mattresses, bed frames, electric blankets, waterbeds.

Avoid synthetic surfaces, furnishing, bedding and clothing.

Install a circuit breaker, demand switch if necessary.

Keep healthy plants and cacti in your bedroom.

Apply vibrational medicine for healing instead of chemical treatment only.

Obtain an inspection and report for your bedroom from a building biologist.

An Important Factor in Electromagnetic Exposure

2008-04-22T16:47:00.005-04:00

Low frequency electromagnetic fields, whose frequencies, harmonics and sub-harmonics coincide with the range of frequencies used by our brains, hearts and cells. Subtly and at extremely low intensities, they strongly interact, through resonant absorption, with primary functions of our bodies with significant elevations in depression, sickness and death. (Dr. Neil Cherry: See full text )

"When these health-damaging frequencies ride on the "clean" 50/60 Hz current of our electric utility transmission systems, they are known as "electrical pollution." After entering our buildings via wiring, water and gas pipes and phone lines, they broadcast from these filling our living spaces with frequencies that damage our health.

Body impedance of electrical current decreases and current passing through the body increases as frequency increases . We have good resistance to 50/60 Hz but less as the frequency increases. Above 1.7 KHz, all the energy dissipates internally into the human body.

"Today the earth has a higher conductivity than the utility's neutral circuit return wires, and therefore, carries the majority of neutral current returning to the substation (Gonen 1986; Morrison 1963, Hendrickson,Michaud, Bierbaum 1995).

Substantial grounding grids are buried in the earth below substations. Electric currents in the ground that emanate from the grounding of the neutrals of the distribution lines and other sources converge on these grounding grids. Consequently greater ground currents are present near substations and in structures in their immediate vicinity. Ground currents also have a greater probability of being present in direct paths between large users of electricity and between these users and the substation.

In the case of 60 Hz electrical power, storage is not feasible. If the demand for electrical energy falls below the output of power plants, it may be necessary to shunt some electric current into the earth until the output is adjusted to match the demand. Current that is shunted into the earth adds to the ground current.

The grounding practice in the utility industry forces all living organisms to be continuously in physical contact with the electrical distribution system. The extensive grounding of the neutral in the distribution system also forces electrical currents to be present to a greater or lesser degree in all materials making up the environment of living organisms. Of course the living organisms, since they are themselves conductors of electricity and in contact with materials carrying electric currents, are basically plugged into the electrical circuitry of the distribution system.

Worldwide research and investigations of both animal and human health problems in dairy barns have demonstrated that small continuous currents (as low as a fraction of a microamp) can affect well being."

The effect of grounding the electric distribution system to the earth is a national electric distribution system in which 65 to 75% of the current returns to the substations through the earth rather than through the wires. (Hendrickson 1995, Gonen 1986, Morrison 1963.)

The scientific research and advising body of the American electric utilities is EPRI, The Electrical Power and Research Institute. An EPRI study by Kavet, et. al, printed in Bioelectromagnetics 21:538-553 (2000), found that the contact current caused by the present system is very likely a cause of childhood leukemia. Contact current of as little as 18 microamps is implicated. Many of us are exposed to 30 times that much every time we touch our kitchen counters or other items in our homes.

Kavet's paper brings together ground currents and 60 Hz magnetic fields as co-contributors to leukemia in children. It is not surprising to draw this conclusion, since both magnetic fields and contact currents resulting from ground currents increase electric current in the body.

Electrosensitivity

2008-04-17T09:30:00.000-04:00

Rod Reid who runs the support group ElectroSensitivity-UK, has collected case histories from many sufferers, some of whom are forced to live in isolation, on a restricted diet, without modern comforts, such as electricity or heating, because they have developed multiple chemical sensitivity in addition to their electrosensitivity (also referred to as electro-hypersensitivity or EHS).

If early warning signs are not heeded, some EHS sufferers can go on to develop allergies to almost everything in their environment, and in extreme cases this can include any source of light.

So what are the early warning symptoms?
In 2002, a group of German doctors made a plea for stricter safety limits on mobile telecommunications technology, which included a list of symptoms based on their clinical observations of patients exposed to EMR in their daily life. In this document, known as the Freiburger Appeal, they state that, “One can no longer evade these pulsed microwaves. They heighten the risk of already-present chemical/ physical influences, stress the body’s immune system, and can bring the body’s still-functioning regulatory mechanisms to a halt,” causing:

1. Learning concentration and behavioural disorders (e.g ADD)

2. Extreme fluctuations in blood pressure, ever harder to influence with medications

3. Heart rhythm disorders

4. Heart attacks and strokes among an increasingly younger population

5. Brain-degenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer’s) and epilepsy

6. Cancerous afflictions: leukaemia, brain tumours

Moreover, we have observed an ever-increasing occurrence of various disorders, often misdiagnosed in patients as psychosomatic:

1. Headaches, migraines

2. Inner agitation

3. Chronic exhaustion

4. Sleeplessness, daytime sleepiness

5. Tinnitus

6. Susceptibility to infection

7. Nervous and connective tissue pains, for which the usual causes do not explain even the most conspicuous symptoms

Not everyone who is exposed is affected to the same degree, or manifests the same symptoms. As a Homeopath used to treating the individual and not the disease I do not find this surprising, but this is often given as a reason for the reluctance in the UK to acknowledge that EHS exists, so the real cause goes untreated and the patient may be persuaded that their illness is psychosomatic.

Recently a new provocation study, to look at whether or not people reported symptoms when exposed to mobile phone mast frequencies situated within the Psychology Department at Essex University. We need to ask why research funds were found for a psychological appraisal, when biophysicists in this country find it so hard to fund research into the bio-chemical and bio-energetic effects of different frequencies on the human body.

Some people who volunteered for the Essex study were rejected on the grounds that they were too sick, and others were cautious in volunteering for fear that any exposure would make them sicker, so it is difficult to see how the results from this study will move the debate forward.

In 2005 the Health Protection Agency (HPA) issued a statement recognizing that some people experience ‘hypersensitivity’, but did not acknowledge that they were being affected by EMR. Only in Sweden and Germany are there retreats designed for people needing to recover from EHS.

In Sweden, EHS has been a recognized disease since 2002, and there is government sponsored support for those who need to live and work in EMR free environments to stay healthy. Olle Johansson, Professor of Neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute, and an expert on the effects of EMFs, was quoted as saying that he estimates “around three percent of the UK population will display hypersensitivity with maybe ten percent to 15% affected in some other way”. (The Guardian, April 10, 2004).

Two years on, and the experts are still trying to draw attention to the need to exercise the precautionary principle with regard to health and safety, as the electrosmog around us grows ever denser.

Symptoms of Electromagnetic High Frequency Illness

2008-04-16T14:45:00.005-04:00

Symptoms of Radio Wave Sickness
The original symptoms list below was published in "No Place To Hide" Volume 3, Number 1, April 2001, "Special Issue on Russian and Ukrainian Research" by Arthur Firstenberg, Editor of The Cellular Phone Taskforce.

Neurological:
Headaches, dizziness, nausea, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, irritability, depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, weakness, tremors, muscle spasms, numbness, tingling, altered reflexes, muscle and joint paint, leg/foot pain, "Flu-like" symptoms, fever. More severe reactions can include seizures, paralysis, psychosis and stroke. [Possibly MS as well.]

Cardiac:
Palpitations, arrhythmias, pain or pressure in the chest, low or high blood pressure, slow or fast heart rate, shortness of breath.

Respiratory:
Sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma.

Dermatological:
Skin rash, itching, burning, facial flushing.

Ophthalmologic:
Pain or burning in the eyes, pressure in/behind the eyes, deteriorating vision, floaters, cataracts.
Others:
Digestive problems; abdominal pain; enlarged thyroid, testicular/ovarian pain; dryness of lips, tongue, mouth, eyes; great thirst; dehydration; nosebleeds; internal bleeding; altered sugar metabolism; immune abnormalities; redistribution of metals within the body; hair loss; pain in the teeth; deteriorating fillings; impaired sense of smell; ringing in the ears. [Also leukemia, cancer, Lou Gehrig's Disease....]

Common Sources of Radio Waves

Outdoors:
Broadcast antennas (fixed); broadcast antennas (mobile); radar stations (fixed); radar devices (mobile); television cables; satellites; satellite receiving dishes; satellite sending dishes; cell phones, pagers, two-way radios.

Indoors:
Cordless telephone base units; cordless telephones; wireless computers and their base units; wired computers; televisions; microwave ovens; dimmer switches; security systems; remote controls; fax machines, answering machines, CD players and other digital equipment; (in automobiles) ignition systems; (in theaters) assistive listening systems and devices for the hearing impaired; (in theaters) wireless microphones. [Also variable speed motors, transformers, wireless-broadcasting Palm Pilots, child monitors, some electronic games, high-frequency pest-repelling units, fish finders...]

For many people, the main source of high frequencies is the electrical pollution riding on the 60-cycle current delivered by the electric utility company. RF currents also enter your home via water and gas pipes, phone lines, etc. Once inside, they tend to flow across surfaces, even of things like wooden furniture. Unless you check with a sensitive high-frequency electric field meter, you will not be aware of their presence and they may cause the above symptoms.

Schumann Resonance

2008-04-10T20:19:00.004-04:00

Schumann Waves Explained

"Although the existence of the Schumann Resonance is an established scientific fact, there are very few scientists who are aware of the importance of this frequency as a tuning fork for Life. I propose that it is not merely a phenomenon caused by lightning in the atmosphere, but a very important electromagnetic standing wave, acting as background frequency and influencing biological oscillators within the mammalian brain.

At the time when Schumann published his research results in the journal `Technische Physik', Dr Ankermueller, a physician, immediately made the connection between the Schumann resonance and the alpha rhythm of brainwaves. He found the thought of the earth having the same natural resonance as the brain very exciting and contacted Professor Schumann, who in turn asked a doctorate candidate to look into this phenomenon.

This candidate was Herbert König who became Schumann's successor at Munich University. König demonstrated a correlation between Schumann Resonances and brain rhythms. He compared human EEG recordings with natural electromagnetic fields of the environment (1979) and found that the main frequency produced by Schumann oscillations is very close to the frequency of alpha rhythms.

Dr König carried out further measurements of Schumann resonance and eventually arrived at a frequency of exactly 7.83 Hz, which is even more interesting, as this frequency is one which applies to mammals. For instance, septal driving of the hippocampal rhythm in rats has been found to have a minimum threshold at 7.7 Hz (Gray, 1982).

This relationship has been explored by a number of investigators. One of the foremost researchers in this field is Dr Wolfgang Ludwig, who has been investigating Schumann Resonance and its place in nature for many years." Earth Breathing

Less EMFs in Your Home

2008-04-06T11:21:00.000-04:00

Anywhere you find electricity, you find Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMFs). We can run, but we sure can't hide from EMFs. They surround us where ever we are--at our homes, schools, places of employment and even on the streets in our cities and towns.

In recent years, a number of studies have been conducted around this topic, indicting there is a need to be concerned about the health effects when we are constantly being bombarded by a daily bath of EMFs. The best course of action is to stay informed, take reasonable steps to limit your exposure, and continue to do your own homework on the subject so you can make knowledgeble decsions.

REVIEWING DIFFERENT SOURCES OF EMFs:

MAGNETIC:
Commonly found around water towers, above-ground power lines, transformers, computers, low-voltage lighting, a home or building's electrical mast and panel and faulty or outdated wiring

ELECTRIC:
Commonly found emanating from clock radios, laptops and lamps. Anything that is plugged in with a cord can have high electric field readings.

RADIO FREQUENCY:
DECT cordless phones and baby monitors, cellphone towers, Wi-Fi networks

DIRTY ELECTRICITY:
This is electromagnetic radiation riding in your interior home wiring

PLUMBING CURRENT/GROUND CURRENT:
Comes in from outside via the water pipe and ground wires

WHAT CAN I DO?
When preparing to clean up EMFs, target the most frequented rooms in the house such as the bedrooms, home office and family room, and begin to how to reduce their exposure.

Tips to Help Avoid Excess Exposure to EMFs:

Install Graham/Stetzer Filter
In your home to reduce the harmful, dirty electricity being radiated by your home's electrical wiring.

Replace all the Dimmer Switches
In your house with regular switches. Dimmer switches create dirty electricity that can contaminate an entire home's electrical wiring with dangerous high-frequency energy.

Avoid Installing
Low-voltage halogen, fluorescent tubes and energy-efficient compact fluorescent lighting and other energy-efficient devices or appliances that have variable speed drives in them like some furnaces, fans, heaters, front-loading washing machines and so on. Treadmills are also polluters.

When Replacing your Computer Monitor or TV
Buy a new LCD model. They emit much less EMFs radiation.

Clean Up the Electrical Power Cords
And transformers around your computer and desk and reroute them away from your feet and seating area.

Don't have Power Bars
Or power cords near your feet.

Don't Install
A Wi-Fi Wireless Network.

Don't Buy a Cordless Phone
That uses DECT technology because they constantly transmit a strong radiation and electromagnetic fields signal, even when just sitting in the cradle.

Use Cell Phones Sparingly
Limit the time and use a land line whenever possible

Never Use a Laptop on Your Lap
Unplug your laptop from the electrical outlet and operate on the battery when in use or use it with a keyboard.

Get Rid Of
Your clock radio in the bedroom and switch to a battery-operated model.

Don't Buy a Home
Near a cellular phone tower or close to high-voltage power lines.

Have Your Home Surveyed for EMFs
To reduce your EMF exposure at home, consider having an EMF home inspection and consultation.

What are DECT Phones?

2008-04-03T12:24:00.004-04:00

DECT PHONES POSE HEALTH RISK

DECT Phones and Wi-Fi pose a significant health risk, especially to children. So what does DECT mean? It refers to Digitally Enhanced Cordless Technologythat has been incorporated into many new cordless phones (and some models of baby monitors) by manufacturers such as Panasonic, GE, Motorola and V-Tech.

These phones have become very popular in the last few years because they are very powerful providing clearer reception. If you've purchased a new 2.4 GHz or 5.8 Ghz cordless phone recently you may very well own a phone that uses new high-powered DECT technology. DECT technology is "always on" and produce a very strong radiation field, similar to that of a cell phone tower -- even when not in use and just sitting idle in the cradle..

FROM EMF SOLUTIONS CANADA:
A cordless phone of DECT standard is often the strongest source of high frequency electromagnetic radiation in a private home. To renounce your cordless phone as a precautionary measure will contribute to minimise your personal radiation exposure. “However, it would be possible for the industry to develop DECT phones which could address the issues of precaution and radiation protection better than the current devices” said Rüdiger Matthes, expert of the Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (Federal Radiation Protection Agency)

Cordless landline telephones of DECT standard have no output control to regulate power output according to the actual power needed. Therefore, the base station and the handset are permanently emitting radiation at the same power level during a call, no matter whether the user holding the handset is one meter or 300 meters away from the base station.

Matthes: “Therefore, we demand that cordless phones should be developed to include a feature of power output control, so that the power output during a call would be adapted to the distance of the handset from the base station, using only the level of power necessary to keep the communication going.”

To secure smooth operation, the base station also continually sends a control signal to the handsets, including when the phone is not in use. According to the BfS, cordless telephones should be devised so that they are emission free on stand by mode. “Luckily, there is a new generation of devices which fulfil just this requirement, and thus help to lower the radiation load in the home.” declared Matthes.

To prevent possible health risks, the BfS recommends minimising personal radiation exposure. The following tips will help you if you are not prepared to completely give up the benefits of a cordless phone: Put the base station in a place where you do not spend much time, for example in the hall. Do not put it directly on your desk. Only make short phone calls. Use the latest generation of phones which are emission free when the handset in connected to the base station.

15 Ways to Reduce Electric Smog

2008-04-03T05:31:00.003-04:00

REDUCING EMFs MAY IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH
Not only do EMFs impact your own health and that of your children and pets, but also the Earth as a whole, as our overuse of electricity contributes greatly to pollution from coal-fired electricity plants. Those who are wise will heed the warnings of the electrically sensitive and reduce the EMF radiation in their homes through good design and reduction of dependence on electric appliances.

Below is an excellent start: an abbreviated list of construction and lifestyle tips based on a survey of those with severe electrical sensitivity.

1. Rise with the sun and go to bed early to make maximum use of daylight and avoid using artificial lighting whenever possible.

2. Do things manually if there's a way - don't use electricity as a matter of convenience or to save time. For example, use a manual juicer, a "bike blender," or a broom/mop instead of a vacuum cleaner - all great ways to incorporate exercise into your lifestyle and stay fit, without needing a gym membership or having to leave your home!

3. Keep your immune system strengthened with a nutrient-rich organic diet, 8 hours of sleep, moderate exercise, and plenty of fresh air and sun.

4. Practice a chemical-free lifestyle to reduce your total body burden of toxins: replace all personal care and home-cleaning products with chemical free versions, wear organic clothing, use organic bedding, etc.

5. Wear shoes with a sole made from natural materials (like undyed leather), walk barefoot on the beach or earth, or hug a tree - these all may help you release excess EMFs into the earth and ground your body.

6. Unplug electrical appliances when not in use.

7. Keep your bedroom free of electrical appliances, especially near your head while you sleep - use a battery-operated alarm clock rather than electric; unplug lamps.

8. Remember that walls, floors, and ceilings do not block EMFs when arranging your furniture.

9. Replace dimmer switches with regular switches to eliminate high-frequency radiation, or "dirty electricity," that can be hidden in your home's electrical wiring.

10. Avoid low-voltage halogen and fluorescent lighting (including the currently popular energy-efficient compact fluorescent lighting). Fluorescent lighting has been shown to cause migraines10 and contains mercury, which is a hazardous material that can create huge health and environmental problems.

11. Avoid the use of appliances with variable speed drives, such as fans, heaters, front-loading washing machines and some furnaces.

12. Avoid the use of microwave ovens, hair dryers, electric toothbrushes, electric blankets, heating pads, baby monitors, and other electric products.

13. Do not buy cordless DECT phones, which emit a constant electromagnetic signal even when not in use. Save cell phones for emergencies and use land lines whenever possible. Make sure cell phones are turned off when not in use, and avoid using them inside a car. When you do use cell phones, use appropriate air tubes and shielding devices: see RFSafe.com and LessEMF.com for available products. Keep cell phone chargers unplugged when not in use.

14. Use LCD computers and TV screens and avoid plasma TVs. Keep computer use to a minimum; keep unplugged when not in use.

15. Avoid areas with wireless networking (WiFi) - internet cafes, airports, etc.

Sutdy: Mobile Phone More Dangerous than Smoking

2008-04-02T16:23:00.004-04:00

BRAIN EXPERT WARNING
Source: The Independent UK Author: Geoffrey Lean March 30, 2008

Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a study by an award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people should avoid using them whenever possible and that governments and the mobile phone industry must take "immediate steps" to reduce exposure to their radiation.

The study, by Dr Vini Khurana, is the most devastating indictment yet published of the health risks.

It draws on growing evidence - exclusively reported in the IoS in October - that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer. Cancers take at least a decade to develop, invalidating official safety assurances based on earlier studies which included few, if any, people who had used the phones for that long.

Earlier this year, the French government warned against the use of mobile phones, especially by children. Germany also advises its people to minimise handset use, and the European Environment Agency has called for exposures to be reduced.

Professor Khurana - a top neurosurgeon who has received 14 awards over the past 16 years, has published more than three dozen scientific papers - reviewed more than 100studies on the effects of mobile phones. He has put the results on a brain surgery website, and a paper based on the research is currently being peer-reviewed for publication in a scientific journal.

He admits that mobiles can save lives in emergencies, but concludes that "there is a significant and increasing body of evidence for a link between mobile phone usage and certain brain tumours". He believes this will be "definitively proven" in the next decade.

Noting that malignant brain tumours represent "a life-ending diagnosis", he adds "We are currently experiencing a reactively unchecked and dangerous situation." He fears that "unless the industry and governments take immediate and decisive steps", the incidence of malignant brain tumours and associated death rate will be observed to rise globally within a decade from now, by which time it may be far too late to intervene medically.

"It is anticipated that this danger has far broader public health ramifications than asbestos and smoking," says Professor Khurana, who told the IoS his assessment is partly based on the fact that three billion people now use the phones worldwide, three times as many as smoke. Smoking kills some five million worldwide each year, and exposure to asbestos is responsible for as many deaths in Britain as road accidents.

Late last week, the Mobile Operators Association dismissed Khurana's study as "a selective discussion of scientific literature by one individual". It believes he "does not present a balanced analysis" of the published science, and "reaches opposite conclusions to the WHO and more than 30 other independent expert scientific reviews".

Interesting Facts About Cell Phones

2008-03-27T15:39:00.009-04:00

DID YOU KNOW?

That up to 60% of the radiation emitted by a typical cell phone, (enough to cause heating), will be absorbed by the user’s head?

That multiple independent tests have measured up to four times the radiation coming out of the earpiece of a cellular phone, than out of the antenna?

That a similar amount of radiation comes out from the keypad and the mouthpiece as well?

That recent studies are showing serious bioeffects at exposures far below the current exposure standard?

That many phones cannot even meet these arguably inadequate standards?

That manufacturers could make the phones so less radiation would escape into the user’s head, but most are unwilling to do so, apparently because to do so would decrease their profit, and acknowledge the potential risk?

That different brands and models of phones have widely different levels of emissions?

That Lloyd’s of London recently refused to underwrite cellular manufacturers against possible future claims of microwave health damage?

Stages of Geopathic Stress

2008-03-25T08:55:00.003-04:00

Below are the six classifications of Geopathic Stress as identified from the site Safe Your Place

STAGE #1: SUBJECTIVE SENSATIONS
Characterized only by negative feelings and sensations
There are no symptoms yet

STAGE # 2: NEGATIVE EMOTIONS STAGE
Characterized by inhibitions of emotions and sleep disorder

STAGE #3: STRESS HORMONES STAGE
Characterized by the onset of major symptoms

STAGE #4: DIGESTIVE SYSTEM DISORDERS
Characterized by disruption of the digestive system

STAGE #5: BRAIN DAMAGE STAGE
Characterized by learning problems, memory and cognitive function disorders

STAGE #6: IMMUNE SUPPRESSION STAGE
Characterized by immunity breakdown.
Continue on to read specific details of each stage.

SPECIFIC DETAILS FOR EACH STAGE:

STAGE 1: SUBJECTIVE SENSATIONS:
The first stage of Geopathic stress can manifest itself differently from person to person. In some cases, manifestation can occur within a few hours. In other cases, manifestation can take several months to occur.

This stage can be very difficult to recognize. People do not pay much attention to the first manifestation and do not seek professional help. It has no unique pathology of its own, therefore people may not easily recognize it. This is because there are no symptoms in this stage, only negative feelings and sensations.

However, if some people are not recovering from common illnesses at the rate they think they should, then there may be a background of Geopathic Stress within the body. For instance, people may find that they just do not get over something like the flu. The effects hang around for weeks or months. This is the stage where there are no symptoms yet, but the first manifestation of neurotransmitter imbalance already occurs.

Geopathic Stress inhibits neurotransmitters and especially serotonin, which in this state can lead to mood dysfunction and apathy. People usually do not know that those subjective sensations and feelings are Geopathic Stress manifestations. As soon as people avoid Geopathic zones, all adverse manifestations and sensations can be permanently eliminated. If people continue to stay on Earth radiations, it can lead to the second stage of Geopathic Stress.

Some manifestations of the first stage of Geopathic Stress may include: feeling uncomfortable in your bed, favorite chair, or workplace without anyparticular reason; unpleasant sensations;mood disorder; apathy; flabbiness; worry; unreasonable sadness

STAGE 2: NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
In some cases, symptoms can occur within a few days, but normally symptoms take several months to occur. This stage is typically characterized by continued neurotransmitter imbalance which leads to two types of symptoms, sleep disorders and negative emotional effects.

Sleep Disorder:
Constant inhibition of such neurotransmitters as serotonin, GABA, and norepinephrine can lead to insomnia, waking up tired, and restless sleep. Those symptoms can disrupt people’s lifestyle and can lead to other symptoms such as drowsiness, weakness, and dizziness. Also, low levels of neurotransmitters can cause irritability, lack of appetite in the morning, headaches, fatigue, etc. All symptoms are not constant, although people experience them frequently. People don’t go to the doctor immediately. Usually doctors find nothing wrong with the health status and recommend rest, normal sleep, and to avoid stressful situations.

Negative Emotions
Another type of disorder in this stage is negative emotions. Decreases in serotonin, dopamine, or GABA can be the cause of those effects. Negative emotions occur constantly. Feelings of depression, anxiety, helplessness, and impending doom can have great influence on humans. They interact with people’s lifestyles. It affects work relationships, and creates family conflicts. There are significant effects of negative emotions on human’s health. Some researchers believe that the inhibition of expression of specific negative emotions can be tied to specific illnesses. Emotional inhibition might increase the risk of illness because it weakens the body. If a person has a virus or other medical condition, negative emotions can indeed affect the course of the illness, and of recovery. The stage of the emotional relay is the release of hormones, which produce the energy of emotion. As soon as the Geopathic Stress gets to the point where the human body’s hormones get involved, the second stage gradually transitions into Geopathic Stress stage 3.

Stage 2 Symptoms May Include: Sleep disorder, Difficulty falling asleep, Difficult staying asleep, Waking too early, Restless sleep, Waking frequently, Nightmares, Night sweats, Feeling cold or shivering in bed, Impending doom, Drowsiness, Dizziness, Weakness, Headaches, Irritability, Fatigue, Feeling depressed, Anxiety, Lack of appetite in the morning.

STAGE 3: STRESS HORMONE
This stage is when major symptoms occur. In some cases, symptoms can occur within a few months. In other cases, it takes several years to occur. Those symptoms can remain for a long time, but once the cause of the Geopathic threat is avoided, the body function and health conditions usually go back to normal. During months and years, Geopathic Stress gradually and very weakly, but constantly, influences the human body.

At this stage, Geopathic Stress has a negative influence on the body, and serious threats may occur to the physical and mental health. The body starts to actively respond to the natural radiation threat. The human body tries to defend itself and do whatever needs to be done to protect the brain and other organs. When people experience constant intense negative emotions (stage 2) and continual long-term Geopathic Stress influence, the brain responds by initiating 1,400 different responses, including activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) system.

The hypothalamus sends signals to the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic system becomes activated in response to the threat. The sympathetic system is a fast-acting system that allows response to the immediate demand of the situation by activating and increasing arousal. Also, the HPA system triggers the production and release of the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol is very important in the marshaling system throughout the body, including the heart, lungs, circulation, metabolism, and immune system. The HPA system also releases certain neurotransmitters(catecholamines), dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.

Geopathic Stress leads to sexual dysfunction, increases the likelihood of illness, and often the manifestation of skin ailments. Epinephrine (adrenalin) raises the heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and amount of sugar in the blood. Adrenalin and a variety of other psychological mechanisms are needed to combat the stress, and to stay in control. As long as the Geopathic influence is constant, there is a constant release of adrenalin by the adrenal glands. High levels of adrenalin in the blood stream can lead to adrenal dysfunction.

Symptoms may include fatigue and weakness, muscle and bone loss, moodiness or depression, hormone imbalance, and suppression of the immune system. If cortisol stays high for too long, it can be a harmful contributor to hypertension, and emotional problems such as depression. Sustained high cortisol destroys healthy muscle and bones. It also slows down healing and normal cell replacement, impairs digestion, metabolism and mental function, and weakens the immune system. Depression is a well recognized common side effect of cortisol. Cortisol effectively lowers the brain’s serotonin level, which can cause depression.

If Geopathic Stress never shuts off, stress hormones produce feelings of anxiety and helplessness. Over-sensitivity to Geopathic Stress has been linked with severe depression, because depressed people have a harder time adapting to the negative side effects of cortisol. Excessive amounts of cortisol can continue to cause sleep disturbances, loss of sex drive, and lack of interest in sex. Depression and anxiety may contribute to illness in some individuals, but illness also makes some people depressed or anxious. Tense muscles can cause headaches and neck pain. If in this stage, people eliminate Geopathic zones, they will have no further adverse health and emotional conditions.

In short bursts, elevated adrenalin is not damaging or dangerous. In fact, that is what it is designed to do. But when sustained at high levels over a period of time, it can be very harmful. Such long-term over-arousal and excessive flow of this hormone will eventually lead to physiological and psychological distress.

Symptoms of the third stage of Geopathic Stress May Include: Accelerated human heartbeat, Increased breathing rate, Increased blood sugar, Hypertension, Depression,
Muscle cramps tension, pain, Numbness in arms/legs, Tingling in arms/legs, Neck pain,
Anxiety, Loss of sex drive, Lack of interest in sex, Helplessness,Temporary impotence, Migraine headaches

Sexual and Reproductive Dysfunction
Sexual Function: Stress can lead to diminished sexual desire and an inability to achieve orgasm in women. Stress response can also cause temporary impotence in men. Part of the stress response involves the release of brain chemicals that constrict the smooth muscles of the penis and its arteries. This constriction reduces the blood flow into and increases the blood flow out of the penis, which can prevent erection.

Premenstrual Syndrome: Some studies indicate that the stress response in women with premenstrual syndrome may be more intense than in those without the syndrome.

Fertility: Stress may even affect fertility. Stress hormones have an impact on the hypothalamus gland, which produces reproductive hormones. Severely elevated cortisol levels can even shut down menstruation. One interesting small study reported a significantly higher incidence of pregnancy loss in women who experienced both high stress and prolonged menstrual cycles. Another reported that women with stressful jobs had shorter periods than women with low-stress jobs

STAGE 4: DIGESTIVE SYSTEM DISORDER
It takes one to three years for symptoms to occur in this stage. If Geopathic Stress is not overcome, physical changes in response to natural threats are an essential adaptation for meeting negative effects.

The human organism tries to adapt to Geopathic Stress by producing and activating more hormones, increasing blood pressure, and increasing blood sugar level to sustain energy. The result of the adaptation process is in the consumption of the body’s energy reserves.

Geopathic Stress constantly influences the human body, gradually weakening the organism, upsetting homeostasis and internal organs, leaving humans vulnerable to diseases. Geopathic zones have effects on all parts of the body, including the digestive system. Diseases of the stomach and intestines are often linked to Geopathic Stress because the blood has to leave these organs and move to muscles. Prolonged Geopathic Stress can disrupt the digestive system, irritating the large intestine and causing diarrhea, constipation, cramping, and bloating. It’s common to have a stomach ache. This happens because stress hormones slow the release of stomach acid and the emptying of the stomach.

The same hormones also stimulate the colon, which speeds the passage of its contents. Geopathic Stress may predispose someone to ulcers or sustain existing ulcers. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (spastic colon) is strongly related to Geopathic Stress. With this condition, the large intestine becomes irritated, and its muscular contractions are spastic rather than smooth and wave-like. The abdomen is bloated and the patient experiences cramping and alternating periods of constipation and diarrhea. This hormone can increase appetite and cause weight gain.

To reiterate, chronically elevated cortisol levels contribute to the accumulation of abdominal fat, and make it very difficult to counteract tension and therefore gain weight. Weight gain can occur even with a healthy diet in people exposed to Geopathic Stress. The release of cortisol appears to promote abnormal fat, and may be the primary connection between Geopathic Stress and weight gain in such people.

In rare cases, Geopathic Stress may trigger hyperactivity of the thyroid gland. This stimulates appetite but causes the body to burn up calories at a faster rate. Therefore, people lose weight. Stress-induced hormones help the human body provide energy to get through the situation. Cortisol and DHEA work as a team to get people through prolonged Geopathic Stress’ effects. DHEA is the most abundant hormone in the bloodstream. It seems to balance the effects of cortisol by improving the body’s ability to cope with Geopathic Stress. DHEA also provides the course material for the production of many other hormones including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

Clinical studies suggest that DHEA can boost energy levels and reduce body fat. But when the adrenals are chronically overworked and straining to maintain high cortisol levels, they lose the capacity to produce DHEA in sufficient amounts. Insufficient DHEA contributes to fatigue, bone loss, loss of muscle mass, decreased sex drive, and impaired immune function.

The adrenal glands get overburdened and worn out. This can have serious effects on the human organism. This can lead to many health and mental problems, including memory impairment, lack of energy, heart and vessel diseases, depression, immune system suppression, and even increased susceptibility to stroke and cancer.

Symptoms of the fourth stage of Geopathic Stress May Appear as: Poor digestion, Diarrhea,
Constipation , Colon Irritation , Ulcer , Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Obesity.

STAGE 5: BRAIN DAMAGE
In this stage, symptoms can occur within 3-5 years. The body has run out of its reserve of body energy and immunity. Mental, physical and emotional resources suffer heavily. Instead of shutting off once the crisis is over, the process continues, with they hypothalamus continuing to signal the adrenals to produce cortisol.

This increased cortisol production exhausts the stress mechanism, leading to chronic fatigue and anxiety. Cortisol also interferes with serotonin activity, furthering the depressive effect. Prolonged high cortisol levels lead to high blood sugar that may develop into diabetes.

Diabetes disrupts the body’s mechanism for moving glucose out of the bloodstream and using it in cells. As a result, levels of blood glucose stay excessively high, leading to serious complications over time. The adrenals become depleted, leading to decreased Geopathic Stress tolerance, progressive mental and physical exhaustion, illness and collapse. This stage is where the depletion is so high that the people lose the ability to adapt to the adverse influences.

The human organism has exhausted its energy reserves trying to contain the Geopathic Stress, and starts to self-destroy. As soon as the Geopathic Stress reaches the exhaustion point, it starts to effect the major organs and systems in the human body. Damaged functions include the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, kidney, muscles, and joints, and more importantly the immune system. The immune system remains significantly suppressed and individuals become more susceptible to infections, both minor and major. Also, it is typical in this stage to have a lack of energy. Very often a person in middle age will think that this is a sign of premature aging, but examining the problem in more depth, it is likely the person has lived with Geopathic Stress for a long time.

A few years’ overreaction to Geopathic Stress overloads the brain with powerful hormones that are intended only for short-term duty in emergency situations. The cumulative effect is damage and death of brain cells. Geopathic Stress in this stage has significant effect on the human brain.

Catecholamines suppress activity in areas at the front of the brain concerned with memory, concentration, inhibition, and rational thought. Stress hormones divert blood glucose from the brain, and energy to the hippocampus is diminished. This compromises the memory and cognitive function that affect learning ability.

The typical victim of long-term Geopathic Stress complains of the following: loss of concentration at work and at home, learning problems, inappropriate responses to major changes in life situations, inability to sit for very long, behavior problems, aggression, problems staying calm, insecurity, self-confidence problems, panic attacks, and emotional problems (anxieties, depression, and exhaustion).

Symptoms of the fifth stage of Geopathic Stress may include:Diabetes, Inability to heal, Panic Attacks, Difficulty concentrating, Learning problems, Behavior problems, Aggression, Memory problems, Lack of interest in doing something, Decision-making problems, Inadequate responses to major changes in life situations, ADD and Chronic Fatigue

STAGE 6: IMMUNE SUPPRESSION
In this stage, symptoms can occur within 5 or more years. This stage is associated with a high risk for serious cardiac events and complete suppression of the immune system. Stress hormones that act on the heart, blood vessels, and lungs may contribute to heart diseases, high blood pressure, and asthma.

Recent research has made it very clear that hyper-arousal of the adrenal system is the essential causative factor in coronary and arterial diseases. The chronic increased flow of adrenalin and cortisol and sympathetic nervous system activities may negatively affect the heart in several ways:

Increases the pumping action and heart rate and causes the arteries to constrict, thereby posing a risk for blocking blood flow the heart.

Emotional effects during Geopathic Stress alter the heart rhythms and pose a risk for serious arrhythmias in people with existing heart rhythm disturbances.

Causes blood to become stricter increasing the likelihood of artery-clogging blood clots.
An increase in the production of blood cholesterol

A decrease in the body’s ability to remove cholesterol

Causes people who have relatively low levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin to produce more of certain immune proteins (called cytokines), which in high amounts causes inflammation and damage to cells, including possibly heart cells

Cortisol levels also appear to play a role in the accumulation of abdominal fat, which gives people an “apple” shape. People with apple body shapes have a higher risk of heart diseases than do people with “pear” body shapes, where weight is more concentrated in the hips. These effects can lead to great risk factors for heart attack, heart rhythm abnormalities and stroke.

Continually high cortisol levels lead to suppression of the immune system through increased production of interleukin-6, an immune system messenger. Research’s findings indicate that prolonged Geopathic Stress and depression have a negative effect on the immune system. Also, adrenal exhaustion which occurs in this stage involves a depletion of energy reserves and loss of resilience.

The body’s energy reserves are exhausted, and resistance to the Geopathic Stress may gradually reduce, or may collapse quickly. This means the immune system and the body’s ability to resist diseases may be almost totally eliminated. The body runs out of the immunity to fight disease, and breakdown will occur. Thereby reduced immunity makes the body mores susceptible to everything from cold and flu to cancer. Geopathic Stress appears to blunt the immune response and increases the risk of infection.

A number of studies have shown that subjects under Geopathic Stress have low white blood cell counts and are vulnerable to infections and disease. Long-term exposure to Geopathic zones can cause bronchial asthma. There is a release of certain chemical substances (histamine, and acethylcholine) within the lung tissue which in turn cause the bronchial muscle to spasm, increased bronchial secretions, and swelling of the bronchial tubes.

Rheumatoid arthritis also can be caused by an aberration of the body’s immune defense mechanism, possibly overactive B cells or defective regulation by T cells. Geopathic Stress has been implicated in increasing the risk for periodontal disease, which is disease in the gums that can cause tooth loss. This stage of Geopathic Stress can worsen many skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, hives and acne.

Thereby all those diseases are connected to the immune suppression process, which very often can lead people to die from such diseases as cancer, pneumonia, coronary disease, or infection. The death does not come from Geopathic Stress itself. The human organism loses all its resistance in its effort to ward off the prolonged Geaopathic Stress

Symptoms of the Sixth stage of Geopathic Stress may include: Cardiovascular diseases, Heart attack, Arthritis , Kidney disorders, Allergies, Skin diseases, Bronchial asthma, Stroke, and Infertility and miscarriages

Great Crystal Resource

2008-03-23T08:47:00.005-04:00

There are times when one is doing clearing work of Geopathic Stress that it would be beneficial to have an assortment of crystals available for possible inclusion in the remediation process. Here is an on-line resource I use for purchasing some of my crystals. I do not have any affiliation with this source but find them to be outstanding.

Name: Orgone Crystals

I came across Orgone Crystals when looking for some double terminated quartz crystals for a project I was working on. This site seemed to good to be true, having what I needed at very reasonable prices. I put my order in, then waited and waited and waited. "Uh Oh! I should have listened to my intuition when I thought--too good to be true." What was the problem here? Well, to make a long story extremely short, they had moved locations and in the process had lost my order.

I spoke with the owner Dennis Griffin on the phone. He was a very upbeat, pleasant sounding man, who I thought I could imagine sitting across from me at the kitchen table, having a cup of coffee, talking energy work. Dennis explained that he had recently moved and apologised for the delayed shipment. He took my information again and said he would throw in a few extras.

When the package arrived, I was so glad things happened as they did. I felt like a kid in a candy store, not knowing which crystals to work with first. I can remember my husband and I needed to go out and I didn't want to leave my box, so I took it along with me, examining each crystal, intrigued and surprised by the many wonderful gifts I held in my hands. To this day I still am in awe by the quality of crystals that arrived.

I ordered the Sampler Box which is a goldmine value. Since then, I have ordered this particular item several times, always thrilled about what arrives. I have also ordered other items, but this one is still my absolute favorite. Whether doing clearing work, or just simply working with crystals in whatever fashion appeals to you, this is an great opportunity to explore.

More On Schumann Resonance

2008-03-12T12:14:00.004-04:00

Gregg Braden explains the scientific evidence of the Earth passing through the Photon Belt and the slowing of the Earths rotation. At the same time there is an increase in the resonant frequency of the Earth (Schumann Resonance). When the Earth stops its rotation and the resonance frequency reaches 13 cycles we will be at a zero point magnetic field. The Earth will be stopped, and in 2 or 3 days it will start turning again in the opposite direction. This will produce a reversal in the magnetic fields around the earth and so forth.

Geophysical Condition #1: Earth's Rising Base Frequency
Earth's background base frequency, or "heartbeat," (called Schumann resonance, or SR) is rising dramatically. Though it varies among geographical regions, for decades the overall measurement was 7.8 cycles per second. This was once thought to be a constant; global military communications developed on this frequency. Recent reports set the rate at over 11 cycles, and climbing. Science doesn't know why, or what to make of it. Gregg Braden found data collected by Norwegian and Russian researchers on this; it's not widely reported in the U.S. (The only reference to SR to be found in the Seattle Library reference section, is tied to the weather. Science acknowledges SR as a sensitive indicator of temperature variations and worldwide weather conditions. Braden believes the fluctuating SR may be a factor in the severe storms, floods, and weather of recent years.)

Geophysical Condition #2: Earth's Diminishing Magnetic Field
While earth's "pulse" rate is rising, her magnetic field strength, on the other hand, is declining. According to Professor Bannerjee of the University of New Mexico, the field has lost up to half its intensity in the last 4,000 years. And because a forerunner of magnetic polar reversals is this field strength, Prof. Bannerjee believes that another reversal is due. Braden believes that because these cyclical Shifts are associated with reversals, Earth's geological record indicating magnetic reversals also marks previous Shifts in history. And, within the enormous time scale represented, there were quite a few of them.

What is a Schumann Resonance?
Believe it or not, the Earth behaves like an enormous electric circuit. The atmosphere is actually a weak conductor and if there were no sources of charge, its existing electric charge would diffuse away in about 10 minutes. There is a 'cavity 'defined by the surface of the Earth and the inner edge of the ionosphere 55 kilometers up. At any moment, the total charge residing in this cavity is 500,000 Coulombs. There is a vertical current flow between the ground and the ionosphere of 1 - 3 x 10^-12 Amperes per square meter. The resistance of the atmosphere is 200 Ohms. The voltage potential is 200,000 Volts. There are about 1000 lightning storms at any given moment worldwide. Each produces 0.5 to 1 Ampere and these collectively account for the measured current flow in the Earth's 'electromagnetic' cavity.

The Schumann Resonances are quasi standing wave electromagnetic waves that exist in this cavity. Like waves on a spring, they are not present all the time, but have to be 'excited' to be observed. They are not caused by anything internal to the Earth, its crust or its core. They seem to be related to electrical activity in the atmosphere, particularly during times of intense lightning activity. They occur at several frequencies between 6 and 50 cycles per second; specifically 7.8, 14, 20, 26, 33, 39 and 45 Hertz, with a daily variation of about +/- 0.5 Hertz. So long as the properties of Earth's electromagnetic cavity remains about the same, these frequencies remain the same. Presumably there is some change due to the solar sunspot cycle as the Earth's ionosphere changes in response to the 11-year cycle of solar activity. Schumann resonances are most easily seen between 2000 and 2200 UT.

Given that the earth's atmosphere carries a charge, a current and a voltage, it is not surprising to find such electromagnetic waves. The resonant properties of this terrestrial cavity were first predicted by the German physicist W. O. Schumann between 1952 and 1957, and first detected by Schumann and Konig in 1954. The first spectral representation of this phenomenon was prepared by Balser and Wagner in 1960. Much of the research in the last 20 years has been conducted by the Department of the Navy who investigate Extremely Low Frequency communication with submarines.

For more information, see: "Handbook of Atmospheric Electrodynamics, vol. I", by Hans Volland, 1995 published by the CRC Press. Chapter 11 is entirely on Schumann Resonances and is written by Davis Campbell at the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska, Fairbanks AK, 99775. There is also a history of this research and an extensive bibliography

Zero Point and the Schumann Resonance
Possible Outcomes

1. Time will appear to speed up as we approach Zero Point. A 24 hour day will seem to about 16 hours or less. Remember the Schumann Resonance (or "heart beat" of Mother Earth) has been 7.8 cycles for thousands of years, but has been rising since 1980. It is at about 12 cycles at present. It stops at 13 cycles.

2. Zero Point or the Shift of the Ages has been predicted by ancient peoples for thousands of years. There have been many shifts including the one that always occurs every 13,000 years at each half of the 26,000 year, Procession of the Equinox.

3. Zero Point or a flip of the magnetic poles will probably happen soon, within the next few years. It could possibly synchronise with the Earth's four cycle biorhythm that occurs every 20 years on the 12th of August. The next occurance is 12th August 2003. The Philadelphia Experiment and Montauk Project (secret military time travelling) both locked up to the 12th August/20 year biorhythm.

4. It is said that after Zero Point the Sun will rise in the west and set in the east, approx. Past occurances of this change have been found in ancient records.

5. Interestingly, the New World Order plan to be in power by 2003. This may or may not happen, depending on many factors and agendas. Stay centred and follow your intuition.

6. The Zero Point flip will probably introduce us to the 4th dimension. Here, everything we think or desire will instantly manifest. This includes love and fear. Our INTENTION will be of utmost importance.

7. Most technology that we know will cease to operate. Possible exceptions could be technology based on so called "Zero Point" or free energy.

8. Our physical body is changing as we approach Zero Point. Our DNA is being "upgraded" to 12 strand. A new light body is being created. We are becoming more intuitive.

9. The Mayan Calendar predicted all the changes that are occuring now. They say we are going beyond technology and back to the natural cycles of nature and the Universe. By 2012 we will have entered the 5th Dimension (after the flip to the 4th Dimension at Zero Point).

10. All this information is not fearful. Be prepared for changes that will bring in the new age of light. We are going beyond money and time where fear based concepts are totally dissolved.

All this information is not fearful. Be prepared for changes that will bring in the new age of light. We are going beyond money and time where fear based concepts are totally dissolved. Written by Gregg Braden, 2004

Artist Richard Box of Bristol University in Bristol, England put several hundred fluorescent light tubes in the ground under some high tension wires in a field east of Bath, England. In the daylight, it looks like nothing is happening, but when it gets dark, it is clear that all of the tubes are glowing as a result of the "waste emission" coming from the overhead wires.

This is the best evidence I have seen of what this kind of energy might be doing to those who live under or even near such sources of electricity!

15 Hints for Dowsing

BASIC DOWSING HINTS
Offered by Jack Livingston & Joan McFarlane

Get what you are looking for firmly in your mind.

Phrase the question so it can be answered yes, no, or maybe. If need be, break it into parts. Writing down both questions and answers can be helpful.
.
Make sure of your wording. What you ask for is what you get and a single work can change the meaning. Questions are taken literally.

Accept your original answer. Repeatedly asking the same question is saying, in effect that you did not like the first one so you may get another.

If you are concerned you may be putting conscious thinking into an answer, have someone else dowse it for you. Personal questions for yourself and those close to you is where this is most apt to happen.

Get the full answer to the first question before you go on to the next so there is no change of overlap. In fact, it is a good idea to halt your instrument.

Do not ask frivolous questions- ones you already know the answer to or can get easily from another source. They are fine as a learning tool, but come under game playing later on.

When you do not have enough personal knowledge to phrase a question, it is perfectly acceptable to use the information provided by the mind of the person asking you to dowse.

There is some we call "invasion of privacy". Your very first question, in some cases, should be whether you should ask for the information you want. There may be a very good reason you are not aware of. This is especially true when you are working with people. You need permission.

Know how to recognize when you are getting tired. You will begin to get sloppy answers. Learn to detoxify yourself after a long session.

If someone is bothering you, do not hesitate to ask him or her to leave. If you personally feel bad about answering, say no.

When dowsing for the future it will most likely be based on the information available today. People and events change, so it is something to keep in mind.

Dowse for need not greed and you will be more successful.

Do the best you can and if you do make a mistake, try to learn from it.

Keep humble.
