Alternating current<\/em><\/a> or <\/em>AC electric fields are invisible, physical fields<\/em><\/a> of electromagnetic radiation that are present if there is electricity available. The electricity doesn\u2019t have to be used, just available to be used.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the following, Dr. Vernon Coleman warns of the health risks associated with electricity such as an increased chance of developing cancer, particularly for those who work with or live near electrical appliances and supply lines.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Studies have shown that exposure to electrical fields can cause childhood cancers, brain tumours, and leukaemia, with workers in the electrical industry being at higher risk, such as electricians and electrical engineers.<\/em><\/p>\n

To reduce the risks, Dr Vernon Coleman advises keeping a safe distance from electrical devices, using battery-operated appliances, and avoiding living near major electricity supply lines, especially for pregnant women and small children.<\/em><\/p>\n

Electricity is almost certainly more dangerous than you think. If you spend most of your time working with or close to an electrical appliance, if you live or work near to an electricity supply line or if you spend your days working with electrical equipment then the chances of you developing cancer of one sort or another are considerably increased.<\/p>\n

In America, where people only vote with their wallets when they really believe something, house prices near to electricity supply lines have fallen by as much as a quarter. The dean of a school of public health said about electricity that: \u201cThe present state of affairs is like the correlation between smoking and lung cancer 30 years ago<\/em>.\u201d He added that, at a conservative estimate, a third of all childhood cancers are caused by electrical fields.<\/p>\n

A study of nearly 500 children showed that children whose mothers used electric blankets when they were pregnant, were two and a half times as likely to develop brain tumours.<\/p>\n

A study of nearly 700 children showed that children who lived in houses near to power distribution lines were two or three times as likely to die of leukaemia or brain tumours.<\/p>\n

Research at an American University showed that men who work as electricians or electrical engineers are ten times as likely to develop certain types of brain tumour. Experts found that workers for a telephone company who worked alongside electricity power lines were seven times as likely to develop leukaemia. And so it goes on.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, what can you do to reduce your risk \u2013 and the risk of anyone in your family \u2013 of being killed by electrical fields?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s some simple advice:<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t have mains-powered radios<\/strong>, answering machines, clocks or other electrical devices unnecessarily close to you \u2013 on your desk, in the kitchen or by your bed. Battery-operated appliances are probably safer.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t sit within two and a half or three feet<\/strong> of the front sides or the back of a Visual Display Terminal on a computer or word processor. If you are pregnant, try to keep away from Visual Display Terminals completely. A study of over 1,500 women showed that pregnant women who spend more than 20 hours a week working on such terminals have a much greater chance of having a miscarriage. If the child\u2019s school is within 150 yards of a major electricity supply line, parents should ask the authorities to test the electrical fields in classrooms, playgrounds and sports fields.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t sit (and don\u2019t let children sit) closer<\/strong> than three feet from the television set when it is switched on. TV sets produce potentially dangerous electrical fields which are stronger the closer you get.<\/p>\n

Unplug electrical blankets before you get into bed.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t sit or stand in front of household appliances such as microwave ovens when they are switched on. Best is not to use them at all.<\/p>\n

Try not to live in a home within 150 yards of a major electricity supply line. I think this is probably particularly important for those who have small children or are pregnant.<\/p>\n

The above is taken from the book \u201cWhat doctors won\u2019t tell you about chemotherapy\u201d by Vernon Coleman. <\/em><\/p>\n
