What is Dirty Electricity?
Dirty electricity is a dangerous form of electrical pollution that is present in our homes if we use ANY electricity. Until relatively recently, this phenomenon has largely escaped the attention of the general public and medical communities. Now emerging scientific research strongly suggests that poor quality of electric power may be making many of us sick. Electrical power has always had this…ever since the first power station was built at Niagara Falls. However, the more we become relaint on electrical devices AND the wider range of frequncines those devices operate on, the greater the impact to our health.
The danger from electricity is not just confined to the electrical wires in our homes, schools and workplaces, but in fact our lives are becoming increasingly contaminated with invisible microsurges of dangerous radio-frequency radiation, now referred to as "dirty electricity”.
Research
Dr. Magda Havas has studied dirty electricity since 2003.
She noticed that when dirty electricity is removed:
• There is an improvement in the symptoms associated with MS
• Many diabetic's blood sugars stabilized
• There was a decreased breast cancer risk
• The body’s use of calcium becamre more efficient
• Appropriate melatonin distribution returned, improving sleep patterns
Dr. Samual Milham's findings led him to contact higher-ups in the military and the government, with no response. This prompted him to author his book on dirty electricity. Dr. Milham's work found correlations between communities using little or no electricity and those using dirty electricity. The communities and schools exposed to dirty electricity had a much higher incidence of many chronic diseases and other health afflictions.
The Creation of Dirty Electricity
An example of how dirty electricity is created stems from how cell phone towers utilize energy. The towers operate on direct current. However, the electrical current supplied to the tower is in the form of an alternating current; therefore, the supply needs to be changed or converted. This is accomplished using an inverter (a switching power supply) Inverters interrupt the alternating current multiple times a second and are a source of dirty electricity. Each of these interruptions causes a small to large spike in the output. This dirty electricity is put back into the power supply lines, which in turn, can enter a building through their electrical wiring. From there it can penetrate your body. These spikes in the power are biologically active.
Dirty electricity also affects electronic equipment. For example, the “hum” in a micropohone is the amplified output of dirty electricity.
Exposure in the Average Home Comes From: (these are sources of dirty electricity):
• Cell phone chargers
• Computers
• Office equipment
• Television sets
• Dimmer switches
• Wireless technologies
• Energy saving devices
• Electrical wiring in walls
• Candescent fluorescent light bulbs
When in doubt, think old school. If your grandparents used it, it is probably a safer choice than the new model when it comes to dirty electricity…
What Happens if You are Exposed?
The body is a sensitive electrical being. Every cell, tissue, and organ transmits information through tiny electrical currents which are disturbed by these high frequency fields, setting the body up for disease.
When suffering from exposure to dirty electricity the symptoms are wide ranging and diverse. These symptoms may manifest through:
• The skin
• Sleep disturbances
• Muscle and joint pain
• Physical and mental exhaustion
• Migraines
• Light headedness
• Nausea
• Loss of cognitive function
• Irritability
• Anxiety
• Muscle spasms
• Numbness and tingling
• Pain in the lower extremities
• High temperature
Avoiding Exposure
• Change all CFLs to candescent or LED bulbs
• Keep a good distance away from wiring and other sources of dirty electricity (the exposure goes down with rthe square of the distance)
• Limit the use of "dirty electricity appliances” (things with motors like refrigerators and ceiling fans)
• Replace unsafe electrical devices with safer alternatives
• Purchase a GS meter (Graham-Stetzer) and, filter out electromagnetic pollution as necessary with GS filters
Dirty electricity is everywhere. Undiagnosable illness can be a result of exposure to this source of electromagnetic pollution. Implementing these changes may eliminate symptoms, thus eliminating illness. Limiting or avoiding exposure to dirty electricity is beneficial for everyone, avoiding sickness in the first place.

Power Lines:
Overhead electricity pylons (power lines) – As a very approximate guideline, EMF’s from power lines are likely to drop below 0.2 microtesla [200 nanotesla] and be at a safe level at about:
- 492 feet from 400 kv lines
- 394 feet from 275 kv lines
- 328 feet from 132 kv lines
- 164 feet from 66 kv lines
- 98 feet from 33 kv lines
- 49 feet from 11 kv lines
