Recent studies of interactions between the brain and immune system cells, as well as reports of bioeffects from artificial electromagnetic sources too weak to exert thermal effects, suggest that biophysical communication may exist between them not explained by electrochemical action. We report here that a human donor's endogenous electric fields pr...

Oncostasis, sleep improvement, cardiovascular protection, immune system competence, ...and apparently this innocuous biomolecule even protects you from your cellphone and TV. Despite tens of thousands of published studies, scientific research is only just beginning to uncover how one small brain hormone, also found as an ingredient in grass and oth...

Following the recent discovery that white blood cells release melatonin at up to five times the pineal concentration when challenged by a mitogen (PHA) we are investigating whether exposure to EMF in vitro might inhibit this process. It is unsurprising that lymphoctyes should release melatonin, a powerful antioxidant and anti-metastatic agent, sinc...

This investigation examines whether the addition of parabenzoquinone in high dilution is able to correct cultured aberrant lymphocyte metabolism. Aberrant cells show less oxygen uptake than normal cells. It is hypothesized that the addition of the quinone to a solution of aberrant lymphocytes will boost their immune response and return them to norm...

There is increasing evidence in the literature that the pineal hormone melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) can have beneficial effects on the health of human subjects including cases of sleep disorders, jet lag, free radical disorders and cancer. A number of studies show that melatonin is found in plants at varying but significant concentratio...

Editor—The study by Draper et al omitted most cases near power lines of 132 kV.1 The United Kingdom has 10 000 circuit km of 400 kV lines and 4000 circuit km of 275 kV lines, but 20 000 circuit km of 132 kV lines and more than 260 000 pole mounted transformers.2 Should the effect be found near these lower voltage sources, then saying that only five...

An increasingly wide variety of adverse and beneficial health effects on biota from exposure to non-ionising electromagnetic fields (EMF) and radiation have been reported at levels too weak to break chemical bonds. Research attention has focused on understanding the mechanisms of interaction underlying these effects, and a number of hypotheses have...

This pilot study points to the importance of the electric field in studies of the association between measured extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields and childhood leukaemia, and of the probe position in collecting useful data. It finds a significantly elevated extremely low frequency electric field (16,04 V/m) in the bedplace of cases of c...

This retrospective case-control study of 56 cases and 56 controls measured extra low frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields between 2000 h and 0800 h in the bedplaces of children with leukaemia. Mean ELF electric field (E-field) levels found in case homes of 13.9 Vm-1 (SD: 13.6) were significantly higher (P < 0.01) compared with only 7.3 Vm-1...

In the last 100 years mankind has, for the first time in evolution, incorporated artificial electromagnetic fields and radiations into the built environment. Thirty years passed after the discovery of X-rays before any exposure limits were imposed on these "ionizing" radiations, and the exposure limits have steadily fallen ever since, as early rese...
