The Alternative View with Brown

WHAT ARE EMF? Both electric fields and magnetic fields are invisible lines of force (invisible waves). They will go through walls and they exist wherever there is electricity in homes, in workplaces and near power lines. The closer you are to a source, the stronger they are. When an electrical device is turned on, both a magnetic field and an electric field are present. However a magnetic field will disappear when you turn an electrical device off, but the electric field will still be present. For example when you reach over and turn off your bedside lamp at night, the magnetic field disappear, but the electric field continuously radiates 35 feet or 10 meters (from the lamp and the lamp cord). That one reason bedroom exposure during sleep is of special concern. WHY BE CONCERNED ABOUT EMFS? Our bodies are electrical in nature and from the beginning of time, all systems of the human body such as the endocrine, circulatory and nervous system developed within and adapted to the natural electric and magnetic field of the earth. But in today’s world of artificial fields our natural bioelectrical homeostasis is seriously disrupted. The dangers of ellectro-pollution are real and well documented. It changes often pathologically, every biological system. This is especially true when lying in a hospital bed, patients commonly register a lot of volts in those steel beds with all the various gadgets attached and this does not encourage healing. Hundreds of studies have linked EMF exposure to an increase in many types of cancer such as childhood leukaemia, brain tumours, lymphoma and male breast cancer as well as to other health issues such as suicide, depression, and an increased risk of miscarriage. EMFs are listed as carcinogen and The World Health Organization endorsed a policy of prudent avoidance. HOME AND WORKPLACE EMF AFFECT YOUR HEALTH ON A DAILY BASIS One of the most significant forms of pollution in this century is chronic exposure to electric and magnetic fields (EMF). These unnatural field surround us almost 24 hours a day radiating, from electrical wiring hidden in our walls ceiling and floors and from an endless array of electrical devices (lamps hair dryers, vacuum cleaners, TV, blenders, micro-wave ovens, toasters, computers, copy machines, power tools etc.
