electromagnetic radiation
- Robert O. Becker, M. D., Orthopedic Surgeon (twice nominated for a Nobel Prize in Medicine) and author of several books on the effects of electromagnetic radiation
In today's high-tech environment where convenience is often more important than safety and health, we ignore at our peril the growing menace and lethal potential of electromagnetic pollution. A phenomenon that we cannot see, hear or touch, electromagnetic radiation in one form or another, interacts with us daily.
Our use of energy for power and communications has radically changed the total electromagnetic field of the Earth. Before 1900, the Earth's electromagnetic field was composed of the field and its associated micro pulsations, visible light and random discharges of lightning. Today, we swim in a sea of energy that is almost totally man-made. This change from the natural electrical and magnetic environment in which life began and evolved, to the electromagnetic jungle that now surrounds us, has profound implications for our energetic, emotional and biochemical health.
In the home, domestic appliances and gadgets along with the TV, computers, video recorders, electric clocks, microwave ovens, hair dryers and domestic wiring etc., ensure that we are never free from these forces.
At work, we are often enclosed in an energy bubble of different frequencies created by the numerous pieces of equipment that are part of the modern office and factory floor. Even when we try to escape these potentially toxic environments, the mass of electro-magnetic fields that we are exposed to from mobile phones, mobile phone masts, TETRA systems, microwave and satellite communication systems, radar units and extremely low frequency (ELF) fields, leaves us with no safe haven.
Those seeking to protect themselves from electromagnetic radiation, often find that their investigation generates more questions than answers. As in most debates on sensitive issues, sorting out the misinformation and half-truths from the facts can be very difficult. Currently, scientific opinion dismisses the idea that a problem exists and we are treated to a litany of reassuring quotes that everything is just fine. Equipment manufacturers, on the other hand, retreat behind the 'all emissions are within permitted parameters' mantra.
However, anecdotal reports of health and psychological problems continue to grow. These range from individuals with various health problems to communities where unexplained clusters of serious health conditions have arisen. In most instances, they are dismissed as coincidence. The questions we must ask, therefore, are do we really know what the long term effects of electromagnetic radiation are and do we currently have the ability to identify potential problems and their causes?
As there are no machines or instruments that can truly indicate just what electro-magnetic radiation and pollution may be doing to the body, I have used the body itself as the test subject and the manual muscle test as my method of assessment and evaluation.
It was the pioneering research and inspired mind of American chiropractor, George Goodheart Jr., that truly elevated muscle testing to the position it holds today. In the 1960's, Goodheart discovered that the muscle test could be used to determine the neurological function of the muscle circuit, providing information not obtained by other procedures.
Today, with many years of research and development behind it, muscle testing as a therapeutic protocol provides a revolutionary approach to natural health care, where it is used to investigate and identify sub clinical imbalances within the body's structural, electromagnetic, biochemical and emotional operating domains.
In this study, the muscle testing techniques and procedures used to evaluate the body's response to electromagnetic radiation and pollution were based on research protocols developed by Advanced Systematic Kinesiology.
These results confirmed that we are indeed adversely affected by electromagnetic radiation and pollution. This assault on our well-being can disrupt the function and balance of specific organs, brain integration, neurochemistry, the gastrointestinal tract and the endocrine and immune systems.
A brief summary of the various tests conducted and their results are outlined below:
Every time you switch on your computer and sit in front of it, it only takes a few seconds for the main postural muscles in the body to weaken. Likewise, someone working in an open-plan office where they are exposed to a mix of electromagnetic vibrations from computers, fluorescent lighting, photocopiers, etc., dwells in a state of neurological and physical stress.
Sitting by the window on the train or bus places you in the travel path of other passengers' mobile phones. Whether a phone is used to make a call, send a text message, or is merely left on, these random sources of electromagnetic radiation destabilise the body's natural energy balance. Testing someone in such circumstances shows that several energetic pathways related to organ and body function are impaired.
Testing a person speaking on a mobile phone shows them to be in a state of weakness for the duration of the call. Place the person making or receiving calls in their vehicle, and the vehicle's metal shell will allow the microwaves from the phone to rebound and 'echo’ multiplying their effect. Also, be cautious about using a mobile phone if you wear metal framed glasses, have metal fillings in your teeth, wear metal hair accessories, have facial piercing, wear dental braces, have metal head implants or have a cochlear implant.
Being within 500 meters of a mobile phone mast or TETRA system will cause a variety of weak responses. These include problems with postural muscles, organ energetic pathways, gait, coordination and mobility.
To what extent you are affected by electromagnetic radiation/pollution entering your home from the outside, depends largely on how close you are to an airport, railway line, mobile phone mast, TETRA system or microwave communication transmitter, etc. However, inside the home the risk factor will also depend upon the number of electrical/ electronic devices you use. For example, an electric clock kept on a bedside table will adversely affect anyone sleeping up to 1½ meters away. Remember also, that many people are sensitive to the domestic wiring that runs from room to room.
Therefore, how much you are at risk, and to what extent you are affected by electro-magnetic radiation, will depend upon how many of the above test situations apply to your current life style. Also, be aware that constant exposure over time is the worst case scenario, as the cumulative buildup of electromagnetic radiation is by far the biggest health hazard. Please remember that your pet is very susceptible to the electromagnetic environment of your home too.
The Neutraliser Plug was first used by the carpet industry to combat a condition known as 'phenomenon pile reversal shading', a term used to describe the unsightly colour change produced when the carpet yam is forced into a different lie by the build-up of electromagnetic radiation. However, as the Neutraliser Plug was used more and more in domestic premises, the reports praising its beneficial qualities grew. Although these early reports came as a surprise to the plug's inventors, it soon became obvious that the type of electromagnetic radiation that damaged carpet yarn was even more devastating to the human body. This brought about a very detailed review of the plug's protective properties with the result that the plug's ability to neutralise harmful electromagnetic energy fields was then extensively enhanced.
