Electromagnetic hypersensitivity: biological effects of dirty
electricity with emphasis on diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
Havas M Electromagn Biol Med. 2006; 25(4): 259-68
Dirty electricity is a ubiquitous pollutant. It flows along
wires and radiates from them and involves both extremely low
frequency electromagnetic fields and radio frequency
radiation. Until recently, dirty electricity has been largely
ignored by the scientific community. Recent inventions of
metering and filter equipment provide scientists with the
tools to measure and reduce dirty electricity on electrical
wires. Several case studies and anecdotal reports are
presented. Graham/Stetzer (GS) filters have been installed in
schools with sick building syndrome and both staff and
students reported improved health and more energy. The number
of students needing inhalers for asthma was reduced in one
school and student behavior associated with ADD/ADHD improved
in another school. Blood sugar levels for some diabetics
respond to the amount of dirty electricity in their
environment. Type 1 diabetics require less insulin and Type 2
diabetics have lower blood sugar levels in an
electromagnetically clean environment. Individuals diagnosed
with multiple sclerosis have better balance and fewer tremors.
Those requiring a cane walked unassisted within a few days to
weeks after GS filters were installed in their home. Several
disorders, including asthma, ADD/ADHD, diabetes, multiple
sclerosis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, are increasing at an
alarming rate, as is electromagnetic pollution in the form of
dirty electricity, ground current, and radio frequency
radiation from wireless devices. The connection between
electromagnetic pollution and these disorders needs to be
investigated and the percentage of people sensitive to this
form of energy needs to be determined.

P.O. Box 199, 90-950, Lodz, Poland [Record supplied by
publisher] The present study was undertaken to verify a
hypothesis that exposure of the cells to static or 50Hz
magnetic fields (MF) and simultaneous treatment with a known
oxidant, ferrous chloride, may affect the oxidative
deterioration of DNA molecules.The comet assay was chosen for
the assessment of DNA damage. The experiments were performed
on isolated rat lymphocytes incubated for 3h in Helmholtz
coils at 7mT static or 50Hz MF. During MF exposure, part of
the cell samples were incubated with 0.01muM H(2)O(2) and
another one with 10mug/ml FeCl(2,) the rest serving as
controls.Lymphocyte exposure to MF at 7mT did not increase
the number of cells with DNA damage in the comet assay.
Incubation of
lymphocytes with 10mug/ml FeCl(2) did not produce a detectable
damage of DNA either. However, when the FeCl(2)-incubated
lymphocytes were simultaneously exposed to 7mT MF, the number
of damaged cells was significantly increased and reached about
20% for static MF and 15% for power frequency MF. In the
control samples about 97% of the cells did not have any DNA
damage.It is not possible at present to offer a reasonable
explanation for the findings of this investigation - the high
increase in the number of lymphocytes showing symptoms of DNA
damage in the comet assay, following simultaneous exposure to
the combination of two non-cytotoxic factors -10mug/ml FeCl(2)
and 7mT MF. In view of the obtained results we can only
hypothesise that under the influence of simultaneous exposure
to FeCl(2) and static or 50Hz MF, the number of reactive
oxygen species generated by iron cations may increase
substantially. Further studies will be necessary to confirm
this hypothesis and define the biological significance of the
observed effect. PMID: 11006416
