Cell phone health hazards: Public awareness of possible dangers was probably triggered originally by the Reynard brain tumour case in 1992. About eight lawsuits alleging that cellular phones caused brain tumours have been filed in the USA. Although no cases has so far succeeded they have set the stage and raised safety questions in many people's minds. It has raised old spectres such as the thalidomide tragedy - the result of a product being used widely before adequate long term research had been carried out.

The following important article on electromagnetic pollution was published in the 'alive' magazine, in August 2005. Find out about the risks, the way citizens take action, and about current solutions.

Grounding the body to earth reduces chronic inflammation

To see the 7 Photos included here - open this electrical grounding research in PDF format)

To demonstrate the effects of restoring the natural direct current and electric field of the earth to the surface of the body, individuals with long-term chronic inflammation were grounded to earth. Two methods of grounding the body are presented below.

Grounding methodology #1: A conductive patch (photo #1) is placed on the body near site of chronic inflammation. The patch is connected via a fuse-protected conductive wire attached to a ground rod placed directly in the earth (photo #2). (Examples below show typical results.)

This study was carried out in four phases:

 

Since it has been found that electromagnetic fields can affect health, researchers have investigated these phenomena in vivo and in vitro, in animals^10,11,12 and humans.^{1,2,3,4,5,6,7} No individual had been specifically challenged in an attempt to reproduce acute symptoms until Smith and Monro⁵ followed by Choy, Monro, and Smith,⁸ who used a series of oscillators of varying frequency to trigger symptoms in electrically sensitive patients. We modified this procedure by developing controlled environmental area,
