Electrical and magnetic fields
Wherever electricity flows, electric and magnetic fields are present. Laboratory experiments show that magnetic fields can cause changes in living cells. For comparison, humans are commonly exposed to solar ultraviolet radiation which can damage tissue, but the body's repair mechanisms usually prevail. Still, the public is often concerned about undue health risks, especially for small children. Increasing distance from electrical sources is the most practical way of reducing exposure. |
| Was the increase in male breast cancer caused by magnetic fields or by lack of vitamin D? These are the types of questions that make it difficult to ascertain if there is a link between EMF exposure and cancer.
To make matters worse, a cell biologist doing work on EMFs for the Department of Energy, faked data linking cancer to electromagnetic fields in order to gain $3.3 million worth of grants for scientific research. [New York Times, July 24, 1999] This casts a shadow on the existing scientific base for analysis. |

You might think that the electric and magnetic fields in the box should now be strictly equal to zero. But they are not. The quantum vacuum refuses to stay still. Just like the scalar field
The Cosmological Constant Problem
Few theoretical estimates in the history of physics . . . have ever been so inaccurate. —Larry Abbott during inflation, electric and magnetic fields experience random jerks, or quantum fluctuations.
If you try to measure, say, the magnetic field inside the box, the answer you get depends on the size of your measuring device. |

Pulsed magnetic fields are different than permanent magnetic fields and are reported to produce much superior physical health benefits, without negative side effects. When the body is exposed to a pulsating bio-energetic field within its own healthy electrical frequency range, it is able to free itself from inharmonious electrical interference at the cellular level and reestablish "normal biological rhythms. |

An explanation of how magneton therapy works is that because blood contains iron ions in its haemoglobin, the iron in the blood will be attracted to magnetic fields, and hence magnetic fields applied to the body will rapidly increase blood flow and circulation. The magneton therefore allows faster restoration of normal body functions and healing processes.
Nervous vibrations surrounding and affecting the body are said to be bio-magnetic and referred to as 'charged batteries'. |
| Based on the knowledge that electric currents (nerve impulses) flow through the body between cell surfaces, it is believed that magnetic fields can influence the nervous system.
Magneton therapy or bio-energetic acupuncture replaces the more traditional needles with magnetic fields, to re-establish the body's energy circuits or chi. Used by many natural therapists and chiropractors, the magneton, or Needleless Magneton, a 1979 invention developed by Dr Zeydel, is about the size of a matchbox. |

For this reason, it has been used to treat Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and Parkinson's disease.15 magnetic fields also appear to enhance the ability of diseased or damaged cells to utilize oxygen, thus speeding their recovery The increased oxygen absorption may be linked to another effect of PMS stimulation, which is that patients report decreased pain almost as soon as the field is turned on.
Magnetic field therapy affects all the cells within its range. It travels through bone, beds, and plaster casts. magnetic fields seem to work by affecting the electrical charge of cells. |

The World Health Organization officially recommends that power line siting decisions should consider ways to lower exposures and keep people out of the line of high voltage electricity and has classified EMF as a possible human carcinogen as has the U.S. |

Controlled use of magnetic fields can benefit those who suffer from sleep disorders by reversing the detrimental effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields on the pineal gland.
For sleep disorders arising out of disruptions in melatonin production, alternative medicine doctors recommend therapy with negative-polarity magnets. Magnet therapy may offer permanent relief to those with various sleep-wake disturbances, including insomnia and even sleep apnea. |
| For example, in 1996 a team of researchers found that blood melatonin levels in female rats decreased after exposure to 50 Hz magnetic fields, about the same frequency as most household appliances. Many similar studies on melatonin are now underway.17
At the same time, not being exposed to naturally occurring EMFs can have a negative impact on health, for they function as a kind of energy nutrient. |
| This "master gland" is able to detect variations of the earth's magnetic field and use that information to locate geographical directions (north, south, east, west) and determine seasonal cues (the earth's magnetic fields changes daily and seasonally).25 In one study, researchers removed the pineal glands of pied flycatchers, a type of migratory bird. A subset of the birds received melatonin supplementation while the other birds did not. |

Gravity and at least a weak source of magnetism, which is why Peter suggests that Earth energies such as those that contribute to geopathic stress and external magnetic fields such as the Schumann resonance may have subtle but profound effects on the body and body-field. ž Magnetic confetti, a term Peter borrowed from Reid, who believes that the electron has some sort of magnetic envelope or capsule. Information exchange takes place when an electron's magnetic capsule is broken open through an interaction with a photon. |
| Although the jury remains out on the overall health effects of magnetic fields, NES research has shown that for ideal bioenergetic health, it is best if your body-field is in alignment with Earth's Big Field, including the magnetic polar axis.
THE POLARITY FIELD
In NES, the term polarity refers to a negatively charged electrostatic field that permeates the physical body, forming in part from the overall biological and energetic activity of the body and playing a vital role in the formation and functioning of the human body-field. |
| Peter discovered that the centrosome of the cell, and the centrioles within it, can become misaligned from exposure to distorted magnetic fields. According to conventional cell biology, the centrosome and centrioles are only active during cell division, a process called mitosis, whereby one cell divides to become two separate but fully functioning cells. During mitosis, pairs of centrioles separate and migrate toward opposite poles of the cell. |
| 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. For instance, you may experience thermal regulation problems—a breakdown in the way your body creates and distributes heat. |
| The centrioles in cells are stressed by magnetic fields from geopathic stress, electromagnetic radiation, or other influences.
Photons and phonons travel from the centrioles to the DNA in cells. The DNA may contain errors caused by the influence of microorganisms?either real ones or virtual ones (the "information template" of their fields).
An Energetic Terrain may result from this cascade of processes
Figure 15.1. The primary bioenergetic process for the formation of Energetic Terrains. |
| Energetic Terrains can be masked in the body, especially if the body is out of alignment with Earth's magnetic fields. Thus, the Big Field in the NES scan should be corrected first or else Terrains can be masked. However, Energetic Terrains also may not show up on a scan until Drivers and Integrators are corrected. Driver correction is closely tied to Energetic Terrains, for when a deviated Driver (and sometimes an Integrator) fails to correct itself over time, that is a clue that a Terrain is lurking as an influencing factor in the background. |

Magneton therapy or bio-energetic acupuncture replaces the more traditional needles with magnetic fields, to re-establish the body's energy circuits or chi. Used by many natural therapists and chiropractors, the magneton, or Needleless Magneton, a 1979 invention developed by Dr Zeydel, is about the size of a matchbox. Gentle but powerful radiation from an inner core stimulates or sedates acupuncture points on which the magneton is placed. Cellular tissue is thus energised and the body's metabolism balanced. |
| ACUPRESSURE AMD ASTHMA
Magnetic Therapy
A synthesis of two theories, that of acupressure and the effects of magnetic fields on chi, magnetic therapy involves placing ball bearings or flat magnets on acupressure points to treat ailments. The magnets are held in position by adhesive tape and can be left in place for varying lengths of time, depending on the disorder being treated. They can be safely worn for many days, although it is advisable to move them slightly from time to time. They are most commonly about the size of a small pea. |

Cad Saude Publico 18:221-33, 2002] Consistent epidemiologic evidence of an association between childhood leukemia and exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields has led to their classification by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a "possible human carcinogen."

The pineal gland is sensitive not only to light, but also to magnetic fields. This makes sense when you consider that visible light is actually a very high frequency electromagnetic field, oscillating at 1,015 hertz (Hz), or 1 trillion times per second. In comparison, human brain waves in deep sleep oscillate at about 2 to 4 Hz.
In studies on migratory birds, scientists discovered that the pineal gland, in conjunction with the hormone melatonin, functions as the brain's navigating system. |

The reason we are not aware of these huge magnetic fields is that they vary so rapidly from one point to another and from one moment to the next. A compass needle, for example, reacts to the magnetic field averaged over the needle's length and over the time it takes to turn by a noticeable amount (say, 0.1 second). The effect of quantum fluctuations on such scales is completely negligible.1
All is well until we check the energy of the fluctuations. The energy density in a magnetic field depends only on the field strength, not on its direction. |

That's more MRI machines than there were in all of Canada, and radiologists in Toledo sometimes joke that it's a wonder that cars don't swerve back and forth on the streets where many of the city's hospitals are located, owing to the strong magnetic fields that are created by MRI machines.
When hospitals buy faster machines, says Baker, it lowers the barrier for physicians to order yet another unnecessary test, setting up a vicious cycle. Why not send a patient off to get a scan—for bed control, to avoid a malpractice suit, because a patient demanded it? |

This office was adjacent to an electrical switchgear room which generated high magnetic fields in the work space. The risk of male breast cancer in this group was increased about 100-fold (observed three cases, expected 0.03 cases). [American Journal Industrial Medicine 46:86-7, 2004]. However, it is curious that researchers overlooked an obvious yet unapparent risk factor. Indoor work, particularly a basement workplace, would deprive workers of sunlight exposure. Sunlight produces vitamin D in humans. A deficiency of vitamin D is linked with breast cancer. |

One study on humans who used electric blankets concluded that periodic exposure to even low frequency electric or magnetic fields can significantly affect pineal gland function.20 In an interesting study on electric power, pineal function, and breast cancer, investigators postulated that higher rates of breast cancer in industrialized nations may be due to increased light-at-night (LAN) and electromagnetic fields (EMF) suppressing human melatonin production.21 Many modern occupations and conditions — including living near a power line — can significantly increase EMF exposure. |

If you purchase such a screen, check as to whether the screen blocks glare, electric fields, magnetic fields, or some combination of these three.23 Robert O. Becker, MD, who has done decades of research in the area of electromagnetic energy, says the best advice is to put some distance between you and the monitor. He recommends using a detachable keyboard that can be placed further from the computer and the monitor.24
A number of devices are available that may provide protection from harmful EMFs. Products include fabrics, pendants, bedding, headsets, and paint. |
