I've read articles that EM fields of certain frequencies might even be = good for you. A net search on 'Royal Rife' (an American chap - now dead) and 'MOR' = covers off a lot about this subject. Rife postulated that all cells have different resonant frequencies. If = you can find the frequency for say a type of cancer, you can destroy the = cells.=20 Everyday Practical Electronics mag did a very interesting article in = April 2001 about the subject. It is reprinted on the http://www.rife.de = website for those who are interested. -----Original Message----- From: Olin Lathrop [mailto:olin_piclist@EMBEDINC.COM] Sent: 07 June 2002 14:53 To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [EE]: IEE position statement"The Possible....." > "There would still be those who'd argue > about cell phone towers next to schools > and HV power lines across residential > areas," > > It's fnuny that none of these types seem concerned > that we are bathed in a 200V/M electrostatic field > about the earth or also continually exposed to a > 1 Guass (it it?) magnetic field at all times ... > and since MUCH before our time (and our ancestor's) > time as well ... First as someone else has already pointed out, we evolved with these = fields, so they can't be the cause of recent increases in cancers and the like. Second, these are static or slowly changing fields, which is quite = different from 60Hz power or radio transmissions. I don't pretend to know whether these things actually do pose a threat in the long term, but I think = Maxwell would agree that rapidly changing fields is a whole different ballgame = from static fields. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
