Dear Listers: Attached is Dr. Byrd's response to my questions about my physical reaction to the new EMscope. It verifies one of my theories regarding why TIs sometimes still have a continuous reaction to pulsing even though the pulsing is only intermittent. KK ---------- From: Eldon Byrd To: Kasten, Kathy Subject: Re: AquaThought, Inc. Date: Sunday, March 28, 1999 2:48PM (snips) Your concern about the EM device is a legitimate concern and is totally within the realm of science to address. My guess is that the device is perfectly shielded vs x-ray radiation. It has been long known how to do that, and when it was discovered that children sitting near TV's years ago were coming down with radiation poisoning, a fix was implimented and neither TV's or EM Microscopes radiate x-rays. HOWEVER, the 0.4Hz +/- 0.1Hz you mentioned will go through ANYTHING. Also, electrostatic fields will go through anything unless the shields are properly grounded. My guess is the shields in the device are probably ok, although they should be checked. There is no scientific literature that indicates seismic frequency fields are harmful, but a few of us know better. The problem is that the establishment will not allow any scientific info that seems too far out to be published until those in charge die. The "I wouldn't believe in this even if it were true" syndrome. Specifically, the source of your problem could be either the elf voltage of 0.4Hz or the elf from the power supply. How far away are you? You need at least 7 feet of space between you and "it" (the intensity of magnetic fields rolls off as the cube of the distance). However, effects have been noted at intensities of 1/1,000,000 of a Gauss. You may be allergic to elf magnetic fields. One study showed (U of Texas) that the same percentage of people that are allergic to pollen, etc, are allergic to elf magnetic fields. Yes, the constant stress to your system can affect the immune system. Ask to be moved and suggest they turn your little office into a broom closet. There is a MOUNTAIN of evidence that elf mag fields may cause health problems (Dr. Andrew Mirchrowski in Ottawa can supply you with huge bibliographies). More specifically, when they checked the unit for radiation, did they use a magnetometer? Only a magnetometer configured to detect elf (below 300Hz) fields will show up signals below 300 Hz. There is a small hand held device called an Electro-something that will detect and measure low frequency fields--it costs about $39 and works well. The Tri-Field Meter is a good piece of gear and it will measure not only low frequency magnetic fields (it is low frequency magnetic and high frequency electric fields that cause the problems, because the high frequency magnetic and low frequency electric fields will not penetrate the body), but also electric fields. It costs about $150. Turning on the machine may be to you as handing someone a rose who is allergic to roses. More specifically, you did not have symptoms from the Zeiss, because you were more than 7 feet away (7 feet is a ball-park number--it is the distance at which I cannot measure elf from a microwave oven with my ($1200)magnetometer--the ovens are tested for MICROWAVE radiation, but leak elf like a seive). Good luck. I fought the US and Canadian Goverments for years over the possibility that elf magnetic fields could cause health problems, and it has only been recently that the US Gov has finally agreed.
