Electrical Pollution and Cancer

Electrical Pollution and Cancer:  My Story


I had an experience that suggests a link between brain tumors and high levels
of electromagnetic radiation caused by “dirty power”, and am seeking the
help of other brain tumor patients to participate in a study that compares the
levels of electrical pollution in their homes and workplaces with those of a
control group.  This is an excellent opportunity to test your home andworkplace
for dangerous levels of electromagnetic radiation. 
 
What is electrical pollution?
Power companies supply current that alternates between positive and negative
60 times per second.  Malfunctioning electrical components can bounce this
current back through your wiring in at multiples of 60 known as harmonics.  These
high frequency surges radiate power through your wiring like an antenna, and
can cause “radio wave sickness” with symptoms similar to low level electrical
shock.  The power coming into your house can also be “dirty” if the power
company does not have an adequate neutral wire returning to the power station. 

In late January 2005, I was diagnosed with a 6cm anaplastic astrocytoma in my
right occipital lobe. 
A biopsy and tissue test  were done at UW Hospital in Madison, and the
pathology was confirmed by MD Anderson in Houston. I had just turned 50, and had
been exceptionally healthy until experiencing a seizure on Halloween 2004.  I
also had tingling in my left hand.  A friend of my mother told me about
electrical pollution and recommended that I study the topic at electricalpollution.com
and stetzerelectric.com.  She also lent me a micro surge meter from Stetzer
Electric that reads changes in voltage as a function of time (dV/dt). A healthy
level is under 50.  Most of my outlets showed a solid "1", with but some were
fluctuating around 1900.   I called Stetzer Electric and learned that the
meter only displays up to 1999, and shows a "1" for readings above that.   On the
advice of Dave Stetzer, I checked our electrical panel, and found that the
readings dropped when one circuit was turned off.  By unplugging electrical
devices on that circuit one-by-one, I found that an AC/DC power supply for a
network router was causing the problem  (this router had been continuously plugged
in for about 4 years).  After the router was replaced, micro surge readings
throughout our house dropped by 99%.  The tingling in in my left hand went away
immediately.  The best news came on June 16, 2005 when an MRI showed that my
tumor had collapsed to a line that may be scar tissue. 
 
I cannot be certain that electrical pollution caused my tumor, or that fixing
the electrical problem influenced my recovery.  In addition to conventional
radiation and chemotherapy (410mg of Temodar 5 nights per month), I added flax
oil blended with protein to my diet (see www.flaxoflife.com) and magnets tomy
drinking water (see www.wholly-water.com/WellnessWater.Jar.htm).  More
research needs to be done.  Rather than wait for someone else to do it, I propose
that we start collecting data ourselves by taking micro surge readings in our
own homes and workplaces.  I will send my micro surge meter free to any ABTA
member who wishes to check their power, and ask only that it be returned ina
prepaid envelope with a short form listing the readings and some background
information about your condition.  Small donations to cover the cost of postage
would be appreciated but are not required.  I am seeking the assistance of
biostatisticians and epidemiologists to set up a control group and to analyze the
data.  If a significant correlation is found between high levels of
electromagnetic radiation and brain tumors, some enterprising researcher may be motivated
to seek funding for a more formal study.
 
As cancer patients, we live in uncertainty, and do not have time to wait for
conclusive research.  We must act with incomplete information to reduce
exposure to as many risk factors as possible.   Checking homes and workplaces for
high levels of electromagnetic radiation is a good place to start.  I hope that
this information will benefit you, and would appreciate your participation in
my modest study.

Kris wanted this information widely disseminated, so I am sharing his
message here.

     Note: A couple of years ago I checked the home of a man who had just had
surgery for the most aggressive form of brain tumor, with the lowest survival
rates, and found he was sleeping in a brass bed that had electric cords
touching it.  A large section of brass was just above his head.   I no longer
recall the amount of electrical pollution that I found in that circuit, butit was
significant.  He followed my advice regarding the installation of filters,
keeping his bed free of electromagnetic fields and also some nutritional
improvements, and remains cancer free.  -Shivani
