 Electromagnetic Fields—The Dark Side of Technology
An electromagnetic field can be likened to an invisible energy web (shaped somewhat like the contour lines on a topographical map) produced by electricity that, in turn, creates a magnetic field. While EMFs are part of nature and in fact are radiated by the human body and its individual organs, the quality and intensity (called respectively frequency and gauss field strength) of the energy forming this contoured web can either support or undermine health. |

 The movement of electrically conductive molten iron in Earth's outer core generates its polar magnetic field, which is so large that it extends far beyond Earth's surface and into space. Magnetic fields in space, called the Van Allen belts, are made up of an inner belt of protons that are left over from cosmic ray collisions and an outer belt of ions and electrons that are trapped by Earth's magnetic fields. |

 Another familiar example is the magnetic field. In addition to its magnitude, this field also has a direction. We don't feel the magnetic field, but its presence becomes evident when we examine a compass. The compass needle will point in the direction of the field, and the field strength can be judged by how forcefully it causes the needle to swing in that direction.
Fields like the temperature, which do not have any direction, are called scalar fields. They are characterized by a single number: their magnitude. Scalar fields play an important role in elementary particle physics. |

| A particle's magnetic moment results from its spin within a magnetic field; ultimately the magnetic moments of groups of particles give rise to the magnetic field we feel in the real, physical world.) However, the Dirac equation had problems of its own; for one, it contained infinities. Infinity is a number to avoid in the mathematics of most physics theories, because no measurable value can have an infinite value. In physics, it is not useful for explaining reality to assume that an object or body has infinite energy or infinite mass. |
| Research has shown that most living organisms, from coral polyps to human beings, are affected by the pull of magnetism from the moon and by Earth's own magnetic field. Our internal body clock is set and can be reset, not only by light, but also by magnetic fields.
In bioenergetics, however, cause and effect can be less clear-cut. NES research has shown that when your body-field is misaligned with the magnetic polar axis, you may experience problems that don't appear to be causally linked to magnetism. |
| The fMRI machine creates an extremely strong magnetic field (estimated to be about thirty thousand times the strength of Earth's magnetic field) and then fires radio waves at the patient's body, which affect the orientation of the proton biomagnets, causing them to transmit at a particular frequency. The fMRI machine then uses mathematical calculations and other techniques to construct a hologram of the body part that the machine has scanned.
The fMRI machine may, in fact, be medicine's first holographic instrument. |

| The energy density in a magnetic field depends only on the field strength, not on its direction. Hence, even though the magnetic field fluctuates back and forth, its energy density does not average to zero. Large, rapidly fluctuating fields on smaller-distance scales give a greater contribution to the energy density. And that's where we run into a problem. As we include fluctuations on smaller and smaller scales, the energy density grows without bound. Thus, we arrive at the absurd conclusion that the energy density of the vacuum is infi-

| If you try to measure, say, the magnetic field inside the box, the answer you get depends on the size of your measuring device. Suppose you start with a fairly large device, which probes the field on the scale of 1 centimeter. The magnitude of the field will then come out to be a few billionths of a gauss. (To put this in perspective, note that the strength of the magnetic field on the Earth's surface is about 1 gauss.) One nanosecond* later, the direction of the field will be completely different, while its magnitude will be anywhere between zero and a few billionths of a gauss. |

 The shifting of an atom's energy by a magnetic field is a well-documented phenomenon that was first recognized in 1896. Named after its discoverer, Nobel Prize laureate Pieter Zeeman, the Zeeman effect states that in the presence of magnetic force, the stuff that constitutes matter is transformed. In words that are clear and direct, classic-physics texts state, "When placed in an external magnetic field the energy of the atom changes . . . |

| The magnetic field of the earth is an important physiologic factor for living organisms," says Dr. Becker. "It appears that behavioral changes of an undesirable nature, either quite evident or subtle, may result from environments having lower or higher field strengths than normal."22
It is possible to measure earth energies using a machine called a magnetometer. Dr. |

One nanosecond* later, the direction of the field will be completely different, while its magnitude will be anywhere between zero and a few billionths of a gauss. To detect these rapid fluctuations of the field, you will have to measure it very quickly. If the measurement takes longer than a nanosecond, you will get the averaged value of the field, which is very close to zero. |

 Perhaps he should check out the magnetic field of the water. He placed an ordinary bar magnet under a jar of water for three days, with the north pole of the magnet pointing upward, and measured the water's pH. Then he turned the magnet over so that the south pole faced upward under the jar for the same period. When ordinary water is exposed to this kind of weak magnet, which has a field strength of less than 500 gauss, the pH will be the same, no matter which side of the magnet is exposed to the water.
The world as we know it is magnetically symmetrical. |

 In addition to living in a disturbed magnetic field, we are also exposed to the harmful low frequency Electromagnetic (EM) fields of 50-60 cycles per second (HZ) that are generated by electricity. This man-made electric current produces "electro-pollution" emitted by computer equipment, TV transmissions, AM radio waves, mobile telephones, and the various home and industrial appliances such as hairdryers, electric toasters, and microwave ovens. |

| Conventional MRI employs radio frequency waves and a powerful magnetic field to view the soft tissues of the body, including the brain. Functional magnetic resonance imaging, on the other hand, measures the minuscule changes in the brain during critical functions. It confirms where and when stimuli and language are being processed by measuring the increase in blood flow in the fine network of arteries and veins of the brain when certain neural networks are engaged. For scientists like Lazar, the fMRI is the closest science can get to observing a brain at work in real time. |

| The belts make up a magnetic field that is oriented perpendicular to the gravitational field of the earth, and they help protect us from many of the harmful effects of cosmic radiation and other cosmic fields.
There are many biological processes that are magnetic in nature.
For example, we earlier discussed how an fMRI machine works by affecting tiny biomagnets in protons in the hydrogen nuclei of water molecules in your body. Your brain has magnetic aspects to it, as does your blood. In fact, hemoglobin is rich in iron, an element that is strongly affected by magnetism. |

| The greater and more frequent the change, which would be recorded by the number of changes in the dials, the more likely it is that the magnetic field has been affected by a source of directed energy.
Connor and Schwartz gathered together a group of practitioners of Reiki, the healing art developed a century ago in Japan. They took measurements near each hand of all the healers during alternating periods while these healers were "running energy" and then during times they were at rest, with their eyes closed. |

 In this instance, the magnetic field is a component of the Zero Point Field, reacting with the charged subatomic particles. The larger the object, the more particles it contains and the more it is held stationary by the field.
What this was basically saying is that the corporeal stuff we call matter and to which all physicists since Newton have attributed an innate mass was an illusion. All that was happening was that this background sea of energy was opposing acceleration by gripping on to the subatomic particles whenever you pushed on an object. |

| She began lowering the temperature, a fraction of a kelvin (K) at a time, and then began applying a stronger magnetic field. To her amazement, the atoms kept aligning progressively. Then she tried applying heat, and discovered they again aligned. No matter what she did, in every instance the atoms ignored the outside interference. Although she and Tom had flushed out most of the compound's magnetic component, on its own, as it were, it was turning into a larger and larger magnet.
That's weird, she thought. |

 Cell biologist Bruce Lipton points out that "Conventional medicine works with the iron filings, whereas a deeper form of healing would attempt to influence the magnetic field. Most doctors don't see the field, so they're trying to figure out the relationship between the filings without even trying to incorporate the energy field in which they exist."10 Microtubules may be a key resonator with that energy field, and some researchers have suggested that they may play a key role in receiving information required to structure cells from the "conductor" of consciousness. |

Geopathic Stress and Sleep Disturbances
The concept of geopathic stress has been well researched and substantiated in Germany since the 1920s. The theory is that in some locations, the earth (geo) generates energies that are detrimental (pathic as in pathological) to humans living or working in structures immediately above their source. |

| No matter whether she blasted the crystal with a strong magnetic field or an increase in temperature, the atoms overrode this outside disturbance.
The only explanation was that the atoms in the sample crystal were internally organizing and behaving like one single giant atom. All the atoms, they realized with some alarm, must be entangled.
One of the strangest aspects of quantum physics is a feature called "non-locality," also poetically referred to as "quantum entanglement. |

A similar phenomenon, known as the Stark effect after its 1913 discoverer, Johannes Stark, is documented as taking place with electrical fields, which do electrically what the Zeeman effect does magnetically.24 While both the Zeeman and the Stark effects are interesting individually, together they become the key to understanding the power of heart-based belief. |

 The method of choice in this approach is NMR of 'H hydrogen and/or l3C carbon isotopes, dependent on the intensity of the interactions between different atoms within a molecule placed in a high-intensity magnetic field. Different NMR experiments have been developed to achieve information concerning chemical structure of the studied molecule on this basis. |

 Much of that energy is deflected by the earth's gigantic magnetic field, but some of it can "leak" through and play havoc.
In March 1989, a peak in sunspot activity led to a huge power surge that left more than 6 million people without power in parts of the northeastern United States and Canada. The sun spewed out so much energy that satellites were knocked out of orbit, garage doors began to open and close in California, and millions of people were treated to a version of the northern lights in places as far south as Cuba.
That may not be all the havoc these sunspot peaks cause. |

| Studies by the Institute of HeartMath have shown that the electrical strength of the heart's signal, measured by an electrocardiogram
(EKG), is up to 60 times as great as the electrical signal from the human brain, measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG), while the heart's magnetic field is as much as 5,000 times stronger than that of the brain.25 What's important here is that either field has the power to change the energy of atoms, and we create both in our experience of belief! |
