Dr. Samuel Milham has published an important new book, "Dirty Electricity: Electrification and the Diseases of Civilization." It is a call to action for the public health field, implicating electromagnetic fields in a wide range of health problems.
Dirty electricity — high frequency voltage transients on electrical wiring — is a potential universal carcinogen. For over a hundred years, it has been assumed that the higher incidence of diseases in urban areas was related to lifestyle. But according to Electromagnetic Health:
“Analyzing death records from electrified rural areas and non-electrified rural areas in the early part of the 1900s, Milham has shown higher incidence of 'diseases of civilization,' such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and suicide, were in fact strongly correlated with electrification.”
