Electromagnetism and the Body

The Human Bioelectrical Field

Professor Harold Saxton-Burr, working at Yale University in the 1930's, discovered that all living creatures have a measurable electromagnetic field surrounding them. This field changes when there are physical or even emotional changes in the body. Thousands of painstaking experiments over several decades proved to him that the field is primary and the physical body is secondary - that is, the field is of a controlling nature. This means that changes in the field are later followed by changes in the physical cells of the body.

Several other leading scientists have worked along similar lines since then, including Dr Robert Becker, who was nominated for a Nobel Prize for his work on the effects of electromagnetic radiation on living tissues. By applying controlled electrical currents which modify these fields, Dr Becker was even able to partially regenerate missing limbs in rats, thus showing conclusively that the actual physical changes follow the change in the electromagnetic field.

Georges Lakhovsky, a Russian scientist working in France, has been able to cause many physical changes, including both the suppression and the stimulation of cancer, by influencing the body's field. The strength of the fields needed to cause changes is very small: far smaller than the strength of the fields to which we routinely subject ourselves in our modern day to day living. The workplace is a particularly rich source of these fields, notably from computers, VDUs, lighting and photocopying machines.

The Earth's Electromagnetic Fields

The earth has its own electromagnetic fields, but because mankind has evolved over thousands of years in these fields, he is not normally adversely affected by them. In fact, the Schumann Waves, which are pulsations of energy between the core of the earth and the ionosphere are essential to life, and form a basis for the "timekeeping" of biological systems - it has recently been shown that even each cell-division is timed according to these pulses. When the first astronauts went up into space, they suffered disorientation and malaise caused by the lack of Schumann Waves. Since then all manned spacecraft have had artificial Schumann Wave generators built into them.

There are two main things to be remembered about the earth's fields: although they are comparatively weak, they are still able to influence living creatures, and they are quite regular, pulsing at frequencies that we have grown used to.

Electromagnetic Pollution

In the last 50 years our environment has become a seething mass of electromagnetic smog. Mankind has changed the electromagnetic background more in these last few years than in all previous history. Estimates vary, but most experts agree that back-ground radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation (EMR) has been increased by between 100 million and 200 million times over that reaching us naturally from the sun. The human body is a master at adapting to circumstances, but there are limits! It is no wonder that so few of us ever feel really fit and well. In the modern workplace and home the levels of EMR are considerably higher than average background levels. For example, a standard VDU emits seven different types of EMR: X-rays, ultraviolet, infrared, pulsating VLF (very low frequency), radio frequency, ELF (extremely low frequency) and static electricity!

The Body and Electromagnetic Radiation

The immune system is responsible for protecting us from all external attack, including that from electromagnetic radiation. Soviet work has shown that after brief exposure to EMR there is a short period of increased immune system competence. This is the normal reaction of a healthy immune system to stress. If the EMR is continual or repeated however, then resistance declines below normal and eventually becomes exhausted. Several well-known diseases, such as peptic ulcer and hypertension, result directly from this stage, but the most worrying result is a decrease in the body's ability to fight infection and cancer. These effects have been found in experiments at levels of EMR of about one twentieth of the nominal American safety standard.

Despite ever increasing standards of medical care and hygiene, new diseases appear with monotonous regularity - most of them (for example Legionnaires Disease, Genital Herpes and AIDS) being directly related to a compromised immune system. As early as 1971, two scientists at the USSR Institute of Labour, Hygiene and Occupational Diseases had identified a comprehensive set of symptoms related to EMR. The first signs are low blood pressure and slow pulse, followed by chronic excitation of the sympathetic nervous system (stress syndrome) and high blood pressure. This phase often includes headaches, dizziness, eye pain, sleeplessness, irritability, anxiety, stomach pain, nervous tension, inability to concentrate, hair loss, and an increased incidence of appendicitis, cataracts, reproductive problems and cancer. The chronic symptoms are eventually succeeded by crises of adrenal exhaustion and blockage of the coronary artery and heart attack.

What can we do about it?

The obvious solution is to avoid going near to any EMR emitting devices, or to screen them. This would be a partial solution, but still would not protect us from the background EMR from radio and TV broadcasts, radars, landing systems, power lines, etc. It is also very expensive, awkward and inconvenient to apply suitable screening and totally unrealistic for most of us to avoid being close to EMR emitting devices.

We have been working in this field for the last ten years, and have found that it is possible to prevent many of the effects of EMR on the body, without actually screening off the EMR itself. We achieve this by using micro-crystals which we have programmed with specific computer-generated frequencies. When these are brought within the body's field, they have a strengthening and stabilising effect on it, thus preventing the symptoms of the EMR Stress from developing. We have incorporated the microcrystals into a credit card sized device, which we call the Charged Card. This is simply carried in a wallet, handbag or pocket by day, and left at the bedside at night. As long as it is within two feet of the body it exerts its influence and protects. The changes in energy levels can be shown using sophisticated bioelectrical measuring instruments such as the Biotron, and also by Kirlian photography.
