ELECTRO-MAGNETIC POLLUTION PROBABLY CAUSES MORE HARM TO MAN THAN ALL OTHER FORMS OF POLLUTION PUT TOGETHER . . .

We worry about what we can see: The smoke; the acid rain; the dirty buildings; the polluted rivers. Admittedly, these are all threats to our health, but we are more intimately and constantly affected by invisible geopathic and man-made environmental stresses. Things like:

Microwaves from TV broadcasts, radar, satellites, aircraft landing systems.

Electro-magnetic fields from power lines, underground cables, underground trains, house mains circuits, electric motors, household appliances, fluorescent lights, TV sets, computers and even battery operated watches.

Background levels of this type of radiation have increased more than a thousand-fold this century. The human body is good at adapting, but there are limits!

No treatment, orthodox or complementary can work well if the body is being constantly bombarded by EVS. Most therapists now realize this and insist on rectifying EVS before starting treatment. If you have used any form of therapy with disappointing results, EVS could well be the cause.

ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS

What is Environmental Stress?

Our environment has become a seething electro-magnetic smog, bombarding our senses and our bodies every second of every day. Because electro-magnetic fields are invisible, we don't even realize they are there, but they are battering us mercilessly.

Electro-magnetic fields have always been part of the earth's environment. Resonances occur between the earth's molten iron-nickel core and the charged gases of the ionosphere. These pulse at definite frequencies (between 0.1 and 25Hz; mostly at about 10Hz), and act as regulators for the biological time clocks of all living creatures. If man, or any live animal or plant is totally shielded from these fields for any length of time the result is discomfort, disorientation, and even death. It has recently been shown that even each cell-division is timed according to these pulses. When the first astronauts were sent into space they returned suffering from the effects of being deprived of these fields; all subsequent spacecraft have had artificial field generators built in. These fields are generally called Schumann waves, and are a normal healthy phenomenon of our planet. Man evolved in electro-magnetic fields, and should be quite capable of handling them. This remained true until this century. In the 20th century alone, man has changed his electro-magnetic environment more than it has changed in all time up until then. Estimates vary from 1000 times to billions of times, but one thing is sure:

ALL TYPES OF BACKGROUND RADIATION HAVE INCREASED SO DRASTICALLY AND SO QUICKLY IN THE LAST FIFTY YEARS THAT WE CAN NO LONGER HOPE TO COPE WITH THEM.

The human body is a master at adaptation, but there are limits to which it can be pushed.

How do these stresses affect my body?

The ultimate controlling system in the body is the bioelectrical system. It controls the nerves, the hormones, and even the chemical reactions. If your bioelectrical system malfunctions, then sooner or later you will develop physical symptoms, and possibly a chronic disease. It is the bioelectrical system that is attacked by environmental stresses. Fortunately, the bioelectrical system is good at repairing itself. If you live and work in an area free from stresses, and then temporarily go into a heavily stressed place, your bioelectrical system will be attacked; it will resist; and when you leave the stressed place it will return to normal - no permanent harm has been done. If on the other hand you spend a lot of time in a stressed area, your biological system behaves rather like a tree in a strong prevailing wind - it gives in and leans, and even when the wind stops it continues to lean in that same direction.

THIS IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT WHERE YOU WORK, WHERE YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR LEISURE TIME, AND ESPECIALLY WHERE YOU SLEEP IS FREE FROM STRESS

It is not the purpose of this article to prove that stresses affect your body; that has been done time and time again in experiments and tests all over the world; many of which have been written up in scientific papers and books. It is however interesting to note in what way these tests have shown the body to be influenced. The first signs are normally subjective: you feel generally below par, more tired than usual, and possibly feel depressed for no apparent reason. The next stage usually involves difficulty with memory and concentration, and then sleep: either insomnia or heavy, drugged, but unrefreshing sleep. At this stage a medical examination normally reveals that there is "nothing wrong".

Various therapies are tried, they should help, but they don't. Your body is not responding as it should. It isn't surprising really, when you realize that your body is devoting most of its vital energy to counteracting the stress, and it has very little energy left with which to respond to the therapy. Then, depending on what type of stress you are experiencing, different chronic diseases may develop. Some of these will be mentioned when dealing with the specific stresses involved. Most people living in "civilised" countries today are affected by environmental stress; if no action is taken to protect yourself then it is merely a matter of time before symptoms begin to appear.

Where do stresses come from?

This article briefly touches on some of the major stresses. The following is by no means a full explanation and the stresses covered are not exhaustive. It is convenient to divide stresses into two types: natural and man-made.

Natural stresses have been known about for thousands of years. The Ancient Chinese would never contemplate building anywhere until the spot had been tested and approved by a dowser. This was probably also true in the West: in a recent survey of many ancient sites in Britain, none of the dwelling houses was found to be over any harmful stress. More than we can say of modern houses! Most animals instinctively avoid areas of stress. Cats and ants are two of the few exceptions. The most well known natural stress is

Water Stress, caused by either an underground stream or pocket of water in a cavity. Water stress is what is known as a DISCHARGING STRESS. It actually draws energy from you, depleting your vitality. It travels straight upwards, so someone sleeping on the third floor of a building over a water stress is just as liable to suffer as someone on the ground floor. Some sources say that discharging stresses cause a reversal of spin oscillation in the protein molecules.

MOST CHRONIC DEGENERATIVE DISEASES OR ENERGY DEFICIENT STATES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH SLEEPING OVER A DISCHARGING STRESS

Typical examples of these complaints are depression, digestive disorders, urinary tract diseases (including recurrent infections), respiratory tract infections, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, cancer and leukaemia. In Germany and Holland, as far back as fifty years ago, some doctors recognised that there is a definite connection with sleeping over a discharging stress and developing cancer; in fact this led to some houses being labeled "cancer houses". Another natural source of stress is

Leylines. These are lines of earth energy flowing from point to point on the earth's surface. Many old churches, stone circles, and sites of religious significance are built on the intersections of leylines. This has led to the common belief that leylines are all "good". In fact many are powerful emitters of charging stress. It is quite significant that our ancestors chose to build their places of worship on intersections of leylines, but never their dwellings. Nowadays we totally ignore them, and many of us live and work on them. As with any source of power, a moderate amount may be good for you, but too much is definitely bad. It is also a common mistake to think of a few leylines criss-crossing the country side: there are literally thousands of them. Leylines can often be seen as "lines" across the country side or garden where the vegetation is sparse and appears to be struggling or even absent. Hedges have thin spots; trees are smaller than their peers.

CHARGING STRESS tends to attack the right hemisphere of the brain, actually causing a build up of excess energy in the body. Thus HYPER- and ENERGY EXCESS states develop. Examples of complaints are headaches, migraines, epilepsy, fatigue, learning difficulties, memory disorders, hyper-activity, heart and circulation diseases, depression and mood swings.

Other natural stresses include

THE CURRY GRID and HARTMANN NET: These are both well documented grid-shaped lines of energy all over the earth's surface. The Hartmann Net runs N-S and E-W; the Curry Grid diagonally, each line carrying an opposite charge to those on either side of it. Problems occur where two lines of similar polarity cross, or even more so, where similar of both grid systems intersect.

CARRYING A CHARGED CARD PERSONAL ANTI-STRESSOR HAS BEEN FOUND TO BLOCK THE BAD EFFECTS OF ALL THE ABOVE NATURAL STRESSES

Man-made stresses are nowadays an even greater problem than the natural ones. With care, the natural stresses can be avoided; man-made stresses are far more pervasive and damaging. It is doubtful whether there is any place on the earth's surface that is free from man-made stress. The whole atmosphere is a seething mass of radio waves, television waves, and radar. It would be naive to think that all of these waves can pass through your body 24 hours a day without having some effect on it. It is easy to show that your own field is interacting with these others. Place a portable radio on a table and tune it to a fairly weak FM (VHF) station. Leave it there, and move around the room. You should be able to hear the reception change as you move, showing that even though you feel nothing physically, you are interacting with the radio waves. Obviously, this is happening all the time, whether you have a radio turned on or not - the waves are always there.

Most man-made stresses have both charging and discharging components, which means that they can cause virtually any disease. Most of us would be wary of living right under a National Grid powerline: we can see the danger. But are you aware that while you are sitting in front of a cosy log fire in your country cottage, miles from the nearest pylon, that you are literally surrounded by man-made stresses? The RING-MAIN wiring in the walls is pulsing at 50Hz (one of the most harmful frequencies to the human body); less than 15 feet away may be an IMMERSION HEATER generating an electro-magnetic stress, in the kitchen is a FLUORESCENT LIGHT, a MICROWAVE OVEN and a POP-UP TOASTER, all excellent sources of man-made stresses. The TELEVISION in the sitting room and the COMPUTER in the study are both major sources of charging stress - computers give off seven different types of stress. How much does the popularity of TV nowadays contribute towards hyperactive children and insomniac, highly-strung adults? These are just a few of the "essential" home comforts of nowadays that are slowly and almost imperceptibly causing immense health problems.

There are many other common sources of stress. To list but a few: electrostatic damp courses, burglar alarm systems, ultrasonic rodent deterrents, electronic organs, stereo equipment (especially digital CD players), telephones (especially cellular), CB radios, electric blankets, fuse boxes, central heating controllers and infra-red remote control units.

Anything which uses electricity for its operation generates a field, whether it be AC or DC. Alternating currents are in general more harmful because they pulse. But did you know that many battery driven apparently DC items use alternating currents in their circuits? Most liquid crystal digital wrist watches use alternating current to drive the display: you are strapping a portable AC stress generator to your wrist (one of the most sensitive parts of your body with regard to subtle fields) and carrying it around all day.

More and more work is being done all over the world (especially in the USSR) on the effects of electro-magnetic fields and microwaves on living cells. Even 15 years ago, most Western scientists would have steadfastly maintained that there were NO harmful effects. At last the situation is changing though, and some (but not enough) notice is being taken of this problem. It is significant that in the USSR, where this research is far ahead of the West, safety levels set for microwave and electro-magnetic radiation are very much more stringent - in some cases stipulating levels A THOUSAND TIMES LESS than ours do. In the West we have two options: either wait until something is done about it one day, or DO SOMETHING TO HELP YOURSELF NOW.

The part of the body which suffers most from this constant attack is the IMMUNE SYSTEM. Everyone can see how immune system diseases are becoming more and more common. Your immune system is your main protection against all forms of external attack; if it is constantly suppressed by environmental stress, your chances of a healthy life are greatly reduced. We do not claim that EVS is the only thing attacking the immune system, but it certainly is a major factor.
