This, specifically, is what I am referring to. Electrical pollution is "dirty electricity," a polluted product. We pay for and expect clean 50 or 60 Hz, but along with that is delivered the "pollultion." Certainly, electrical pollution is not mentioned in Cross Currents. Nor have I seen any reference to it in interviews with Dr. Becker. So far as I know, Dr. Rea is not aware of this problem yet. Just yesterday someone called me who said she, too, had an ES friend who traveled to his Dallas clinic and was put up in their housing, only to discover that it had a high level of electrical pollution. If anyone will be visiting there, I suggest he/she take along a Stetzerizer surgemeter and actually meter the circuits in the provided housing.

Hi all,
For years, I've kept our bedroom warm during the winter using an electric space heater containing coils and a fan ("Vornado" brand). This seemed to not be working well anymore, so I went out and bought a new oil-filled radiator ("Delonghi" brand). Surprisingly, I find that I'm getting adverse symptoms from this, where I never had adverse symptoms from the previous space heater. Symptoms include "burning face", winces of pain throughout my body, nausea, headache. I don't know if this is electrical related, or perhaps off-gassing of chemicals. Also, I'm not sure why this should bother me when the previous space heater didn't. (they are being run in the same environment, at about the same wattage). I checked a nearby outlet with the Stetzerizer meter, and it shows no increase in noise with the radiator on. Marc |
I would suggest that the problem is likely to be offgassing of paint and
other protective materials. Sue had very similar problems when we turned on a new oil-filled radiator recently. Conversely, she has never had problems with similar older units which no longer offgas. Another thing that gave problems was when we bought a portable electric hotplate to try to avoid using the gas hob; the plastic surface gave off fumes which she reacted to, even after several attempts at heating the unit to offgas it.

Okay, thanks! I'll work on getting it to offgas (in a ventilated area!), and see if my reaction to it goes away. Marc |

"Rea Dallas electrical sensitivities" in Google got me these: http://www.ehcd.com/ The Environmental Health Center-Dallas, Texas medically tests and treats human health problems including sensitivities to pollens, molds, dust, foods, chemicals, air (indoor/outdoor), water, electrical (electromagnetic- EMF) sensitivity and many more health problems as they relate to our environment. 3. Rea, William J., MD, FACS, et al. Electromagnetic Field Sensitivity. Journal of Bioelectricity, Vol. 10 (1 and 2), 1991, pp. 241-256. cited many places, abstract at: http://www.aehf.com/articles/em_sensitive.html "Dr. William Rea from Texas ... is the world expert on electric sensitivity. His first electrically sensitive patients were agricultural workers who had been exposed to pesticides. This puts the attention on chemicals as the possible cause of electric sensitivity. Many in Sweden have long suspected that flame-retardants from new computers (they leak more in the beginning) in combination with electromagnetic fields have caused electric sensitivity."

I know about Dr. Rea's work. Fine work. All that he knows and has
done does not, however, mean that he understands the issue of electrical pollution, which is harmful high frequencies being broadcast from the electrical circuits of buildings. There is no indication that he understands this, either in what I have read of his work or in what people have reported about being very negatively affected by the electrical pollution present in the guest housing at his clinic. Most EMF remediators are aware of this issue, either. I have spoken with people who have had a great many things done to their homes by such specialists who did not understand that it is FREQUENCY, not field strength, that is the real problem and what must be addressed. In some cases the things that were done by these specialists actually made things worse, as they created new pathways for the high frequency currents to flow on and be broadcast from.

Hi Shivani:
So that I may have a better idea of what you are talking about, will you please tell me exactly what frequency range to which you are referring when you have been writing about the deletrious effects of "high frequencies" when found on AC power wiring? Thanks! And, BTW, I agree with you and Charles (and with other posters to this list group who have made the same point) in your assertions that harmful effects of EMF (at least for those persons who are sensitive) are not necessarily correlated linearly with signal strength. with care, --Vinny At 09:16 PM 12/1/2006, you wrote: > I know about Dr. Rea's work.

Hi Marc:
If your symptoms are due to offgassing of surface chemicals (finishes) which is common with many new appliances then the effect should decrease with time. In order to speed up the process you could perform a "bakeout" which means turning up the appliance wattage as high as it will go and ventilating the area with preferably outdoor air (not recirculated) for a couple of days. This may mean placing the unit on your porch if you have one. Obviously not the best time of year for doing this. You didn't mention whether there was any odour. This is not too important as many chemicals have odour thresholds (concentrations) which are higher than the air concentrations at which many people first experience symptoms of exposure. There should of course be no leakage of gas or liquid from within the unit as it is a closed system. If the symptoms persist there could be a problem with leakage from within the unit.

Hi Marc:
One thing that can help tremendously in the case of toxic offgassing is to spray EM culture (straight, i.e., neat) from a misting-type hand sprayer to treat the air. Almost all of the toxins produced by offgassing are toxic oxidative free radicals, either in vapor form or in a very tiny particulate form suspended in air. The antioxidants and electron relay compounds in the EM -- both in liquid micro-droplet phase and in vapor phase -- act to instantly neutralize most of these oxidative free radicals via redox reactions and disproportionation reactions. Of course, EM is a brownish-reddish liquid, so be sure not to spray it so close to walls or furniture that you inadvertently stain anything! For this task, I would most recommend the "EM Plus" culture from SCD, at www.scdworld.com Please feel free (this applies to anyone on this list group) to use my discount code of VP2004 to get a (7%, I believe...) discount on product prices. While this culture costs a bit more per ounce (or gallon) than SCD's other two EM cultures, it has more of the relevant antioxidants in it... Since I earn much of my living advising large corporations and municipalities arond the world how to use this (EM) liquid to control toxic airborne gases and to treat toxic and industrial waste, I figure I would be remiss if I did not at least mention this option to you! Of course, many folks, including myself, drink EM culture daily as well, for the dual health benefits offered by the antioxidants/electron relay compounds and by the beneficial Paleolithic-era microbes found in it. with care, --Vinny At 09:31 PM 11/29/2006, you wrote: >Ian Kemp wrote: > > I would suggest that the problem is likely to be offgassing of paint and > > other protective materials.

Hello,
I have just written an article about that. *Normal* people, fullfilling to some properties, may get electrosensible when exposed to 200-2.000 uW/m2. However, the main bulk of people, some 75 % do not have any adverse reactions to those values. Only when the values go over 10.000-20.000 uW/m2, they may have adverse health reations. Here, there is a dose-response matter. The other part, the *abnormal* people, some 25 %, which are already electrosensible, may have adverse health complaints at 1 uW/m2, but not always. It has to do with their *biological window*, and that is very different for every person. I know persons, who have succeeded in conquering the electrosensibility. They do not have health complaints in the vicinity of mobile phone masts (to which they reacted heavily before). They are not bothered by most of the DECT phones. I have witnessed that strong DECT signals did not provoke a complaint (they were felt, but that was all), but with some other DECT signals, which were very weak, some problems occurred, like one leg suddenly refusing, and the person falls on the ground. Typically, some elderly persons do find themselves suddenly lying on the floor, without no apparent reason. But there was a DECT phone nearby. So a dose-response is not the case here. Electrosensibles may *respond* to some very weak signals, hardly measurable, but they are not bothered to some other strong signals. This is also the case with the *dirty power* in the mains. Elektrosmog is a large family of disturbing different sources.
