Is Dirty Electricity Hazardous?
How harmful is it to be exposed to "Dirty Electricity" for prolonged periods of time?
What would you say if you found out that a number of diseases are related to long term exposure to certain forms of electromagnetic energy?
That is exactly what Sam Milham, MD, who is the author of "Dirty Electricity: Electrification and the Diseases of Civilization" claims. Dr. Milham is an 85 year old physician, as well as an epidemiologist. He has pioneered research in this field.
His book details this link between dirty electricity and human disease. This link is ignored or denied by many healthcare professionals that are not aware of the facts and the research. The main impact of dirty electricity is mitochondrial dysfunction. The most common chronic diseases are thought to be related to mitochondrial dysfunction, which include; cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and auto-immune diseases.

Not all Electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) are harmful. Sunlight is an example of a "healthy" EMF. Most people don't realize that sunlight is actually composed of about 50% infrared energy, 40% visible light and 10% ultraviolet. These totals may vary slightly, depending upon the source cited.
Half of sunlight is infrared energy, which promotes healthy mitochondrial function. When people are not exposed to enough light, their mitochondrial function suffers. Light, preferably sunlight, appears to be essential for more than just plants.
Most people associate the benefits of sunlight with ultraviolet exposure and vitamin D formation, which does occur and is also vital for health and well being, but ultraviolet energy only composes 10% of sunlight.
X-rays and cosmic rays are examples of very unhealthy EMFs.
There are four basic artificially generated EMF exposure types:
1. Artificially produced magnetic fields
2. Artificially produced light
3. Artificially produced electricity
4. Microwaves - Cell phones, routers and portable phones also are in this category.
Dr. Milham explains that dirty electricity refers to electromagnetic interference or EMI.
Dirty Electricity Is Biologically Active:
Why exactly should we be concerned about EMI in our homes?
Dr, Milan explains; "Over the 50 years I’ve been doing this, it’s become super clear that EMI or dirty electricity is very biologically active. I wrote the book to warn the population because nobody seemed to pay attention to it. This is the major cause of all the so-called diseases of civilization,”
Beware of Fluorescent and LED Lights:
Dr. Milham also discovered that almost all non-incandescent lighting, puts high current into your body, directly from the light. This includes fluorescents, compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) and light emitting diodes (LED) light bulbs.
