Electromagnetic radiation is causing illness !
Our
technology is causing our modern day illnesses. Many scientific reports
have linked electromagnetic radiation ( EMR ) to numerous problems
including cancer.

This has highlighted the radiation problem but we must be concerned about electrical radiation. Power line radiation for example has been proven to cause leukaemia. RA*D*AR provides complete protection from all forms of elctromagnetic radiation including cell phones, computers, appliances, power tools, cars, electricity, power lines, cellular towers etc.
In all examples of EMF, the energy field causes a change
in everything it encounters.
EMF (or ElectroMagnetic Field)
is a broad term which includes electric fields generated by charged
particles, magnetic fields generated by charged particles in motion,
and radiated fields such as TV, radio, and microwaves. Electric fields
are measured in units of volts per meter or V/m. Magnetic fields are
measured in milli-Gauss or mG. The field is always strongest near the
source and diminishes as you move away from the source. These energies
have the ability to influence particles at great distances. For
example, the radiation from a radio tower influences the atoms within a
distant radio antenna, allowing it to pick up the signal. Despite the
many wonderful conveniences of electrical technology, the effects of
EMF on biological tissue remains the most controversial aspect of the
EMF issue with virtually all scientists agreeing that more research is
necessary to determine safe or dangerous levels. Iron, necessary for
healthy blood and stored in the brain, is highly effected by EMF. The
permeability of the cell membrane of our nerves, blood vessels, skin,
and other organs is effected. The intricate DNA of the chromosomes has
been shown to be effected by EMFs as well. In fact, throughout our
bodies, every biochemical process involves precisely choreographed
movement of EMF-sensitive atoms, molecules, and ions.
2.5
mG is the generally accepted limit of ELF magnetic field exposure but
no one tells you that the average hair dryer, vacuum cleaner, or can
opener you use EMITS AN AMAZING 300 mG or more!!! After more
than 25 years of intensive study, the health and safety conscious
Swedish government has established a safety limit for exposure to ELF
magnetic field at 2.5 mG, and VLF magnetic fields at only 0.25 mG.
Although the U.S. government has been slower to act in establishing its
own standards, the Swedish standard is generally accepted throughout
the world. What this possibly means is that if someone consistently
experiences exposure which exceeds the standard, that person could be at risk
for developing health problems which can range from headaches, fatigue,
and dizziness to skin rashes, miscarriage, leukemia, and cancer. In
fact, numerous court cases where plaintiffs claim to have been injured
by EMFs are now in progress. Even though the controversy of conflicting
scientific studies persists, it seems strange that cigarettes and
alcohol are packaged with warnings we already know about, and the
sodium, fat, and cholesterol content of foods must appear on the
labels, but NO ONE TELLS YOU THAT THE AVERAGE HAIR DRYER, VACUUM
CLEANER, OR CAN OPENER YOU USE EMITS AN AMAZING 300 mG OR MORE!!!
The Office of Technology Assessment of the Congress of the United States
recommends a policy of "prudent avoidance" with respect to EMF. Prudent
avoidance means to measure fields, determine the sources, and act to
reduce exposure.
You have to know
where the sources of EMF are in your everyday world and how strong
these sources are. Is there wiring in the wall behind your bed that you
don't even know about? Is the vaporizer emitting strong fields in the
baby's room? How much EMF are you and your family getting from the
power lines in the street? Get a meter, share it with your friends, and
test the areas where you spend time.
Remember that EMFs go right through doors and walls.
· Determine
how far you must stay away from the EMF emitters in your home &
work environment to achieve less than 2.5 mG of exposure... the
microwave oven, the alarm clock, the computer, and so on.
· Rearrange
your furniture (especially the beds, desks, and couches where you spend
the most time) away from heaters, wiring, and fluorescent lights,
electric doorbells, and other EMF "hot spots".
· Test electrical appliances before you buy with a hand held meter in the store. Know what you are buying and buy the lowest EMF emitter. Where practical, replace your electric appliances with non-electric devices.
· Contact
your local utility if you suspect high radiation from power lines near
your home, schools, or workplace. They will come out and test. If they
find high levels of EMF (ask for the report!) they may be required to
re-route the power lines, move them higher, or bury them.
· Turn off, don't use, or throw out electrical appliances that you can do without!
· Have an electrician correct faulty high EMF wiring and help you eliminate dangerous stray ground currents. Consult a qualified EMF engineer if necessary.
· Here's
a simple way to reduce exposure from idle computer monitors using the
"Low-Power Standby" mode: In Control Panel, locate the "Display
Properties". Click the Screen Saver tab and check the Low-Power Standby
box. Set the amount of minutes of idle before activation of standby
mode. Click OK. What this accomplishes is that the monitor will power
down (almost zero radiation output!) when the keyboard is idle for a
short while. To "wake up" the monitor, simply touch the keypad or
mouse. Note: this is better than Screen Savers, which do not
reduce radiation or power consumption! This may only be available in
some Windows 95/98 computers. For other computers use the Monitor Miser to accomplish the same radiation savings.
Use shielding devices on your computer screen and cellular phone. Add shielding to your household wiring, circuit box, and transformers. Use shielding-enhanced materials in your bedding or your clothing if you must be exposed to EMFs.
Did you know that:
· you can reduce the EMF exposure from your hair dryer 90% or more
by arranging to hang the dryer on a wall hook, get a flexible plastic
hose for the nozzle, and direct the hot air to your head with the hose!
· the National Electromagnetic Field Testing Association (NEFTA)
can provide names of member EMF consultants in your area? Contact them
at: 628B Library Place, Evanston, IL 60201 (847)-475-3696.
· Dr.
David Carpenter, Dean of the School of Public Health, SUNY was quoted
as saying that he estimates that 10% to 15% of all childhood cancers
may be due to exposure to residential power lines!
· USA Today conducted a survey of 4567 readers and reported that EMF pollution is the #1 environmental concern in America today.
· the Wall Street Journal reported in 1993 that the real estate resale value of homes decreased by as much as 30%, if exposed to EMFs!
· that
electric fields are measured in units of volts per meter (V/m) and
magnetic fields are measured in units of Gauss (G) or Tesla (T). 1
tesla = 10,000 gauss.
· microwaves
are within the upper part of the radio frequency part of the
electromagnetic spectrum? Radio frequencies range from kilohertz
(thousands of cycles per second) to gigahertz (billions of cycles per
second). Check your microwave oven for leakage!
· epidemiological
studies in Sweden by Maria Feychting showed that individuals exposed to
high magnetic fields at home and at work had 3.7 times the risk of developing leukemia compared to those not exposed.
· that 2 recent research reports have identified elevated risks of breast cancer among women working in jobs with presumed higher than average exposure to EMFs.
· the
US Postal Service has agreed to allow installation of 200 foot high
towers supporting clusters of cellular phone antennas on the rooftops
of 11,500 US Post Offices. By using this federal land, the installers can circumvent local planning boards.
· the
electromagnetic radiation from 4 watt walkie-talkies and 0.6 watt cell
phones can cause medical life support equipment (such as infant apnea
monitors) to malfunction?
· the back of your computer
is actually more EMF dangerous than the front? The safe distance from
the front of your computer is about 30", while safe EMF levels from the
back are about 40"! Think about what this means in schools and offices
with rows of terminals. Suggest computer shielding to your employer and school board.
· when
shopping for appliances, those with a higher EER (energy efficiency
ratio) generally produce lower EMF levels and are therefore safer!
· one
study (Ahlbom & Feychting, 1993) reported that at 2 mG and above,
exposed children were 2.7 times as likely to develop cancer as
unexposed children, and at 3 mG and above, the odds rose to 3.8 times as likely!
· another study (Wertheimer & Leeper, 1986) stated that couples who use either electric blankets or electrically heated waterbeds had a significantly higher miscarriage rate!
