Invisible pollution

We live in the midst artificially created electrical fields. Though none of us notice the effect of these fields on us and most of us are quite unaware of the harm that it is causing to us, newer illnesses and diseases are being generated by electrical pollution every passing year. We have strict laws regarding many of the known pollutants in our atmosphere, including sound. But the pervasive influence of electrical pollution is mostly ignored or is taken very lightly. We do not notice it because it is invisible to us. But our body notices it and reacts to it. Some of the mysterious illnesses we have today are caused by the constant exposure of our body to the electrical fields. Insomnia, tiredness without any cause, increased incidence of palpitations, cardiac problems, asthma and several such diseases or bodily symptoms may be the result of electrical fields. And yet there are no laws to control the pollution.
It is true that we can not progress and perhaps even live (in these times) without electricity. All sources of power radiate energy in some form and that is going to affect us. But that do not relive the authority from the responsibility of studying the effects of invisible radiation we are being subjected to daily and come up with solutions for either their reduction or effective protection from their attacks. It is a well known fact that these electrical fields causes damage to installed electrical circuits and that most of the industries have devised counter measures for neutralizing its effect on their machinery. But there is no protective gear or equipment or shields for the people working in those environments. It is as if humans with easily damageable tissues and body structure are some how immune to the electrical fields.

But nothing could be farther from the truth. Our bodily functions are mostly chemical and electromagnetic in nature. It has been known even weak electromagnetic fields create havoc in some if they are continuously exposed to it. Powerful fields might cause severe damage in the long run. All the modern house hold equipments right from the TV, Fridge, Microwave oven, to stereo systems emit radiation of different sorts. If we try to gauge the levels of radiations that we are dealing with inside our home with meters to measure them we would soon learn to be wary of many of the equipments we think as a part of our lives.

Electric current has to complete a full circle to its source to be effective. But it is estimated that most of the current returning to its source does not reach there and is deposited into the earth because of poor wiring and other such causes. Earth is supposed to be a good absorber of electricity. “Earthing” is a method known to all. But no one bothers what happens when the current enters the earth. It does not cause immediate damage to us alright, but the electricity spreads through the surface of the earth and seeps into everything that we come across in our neighborhood. It affects everything in the vicinity and radiates through us 24/7. This would have been of less concern if the current is propagating in its true form. But it is not so. When the current comes into contact with electronic appliances those breaks up the current and deposits their RF energy frequencies into the current. In effect the electric current becomes a carrier of RF energy. It is this form of energy that is causing several illnesses in humans. Skin is easily affected by this energy. Eyes, heart are other susceptible organs.

As most experts on electricity as well as most in the medical profession are not aware of this pollution of electricity they attach scant importance to our proximity to electricity. They know that electric current itself is not capable of creating physiological conditions unless a person comes into contact with it directly. But its indirect carrier status is the more dangerous of its properties. This is slowly becoming apparent to all who are actively being affected by it. If you have some sickness which the doctors can’t diagnose, it would be a good idea to check whether your exposure to RF energy has to do something with it.

Sooner this pollution is legally dealt with (by laws I mean) the better it would be for all us.
