Microwaves

09/29/2006 3:41 AM

It is said that continuous exposure of electromagnetic fields especially microwaves may be harmful to human health. For example, applications in communication include Cellular phones,Satellite communication,Terrestrial communication system etc. In Industry,microwave heating,microwave thawing,drying,food processing etc are examples of application of electromagnetic waves.

Are there any standard /statute fixing the acceptable / tolerable thresholds / limits for such exposures. What is meant by specific absorption rate? Can someone clarify?

I cannot answer your question, but I would like to comment on the subject. For years I have been trying to enlist the interest of my collegues on this very subject. As I sit here and type this, how many broad-spectrum waves are going through my body every second of my life? No-one wants to talk about the implications of this little known concern. Consider this: If a product on the shelf is linked to the deaths of people from Cancer, the item is removed from the marketplace. Simple radio and TV waves have been a companion to my body since birth. World Health Organizations admit that the World populations are starting to show signs of worsening incidents of ordinary illness. Mental Health problems in this very country is on the rise RAPID! Who will stand up and take notice? Who will answer these questions? One day, a topic such as this will slowly trickle into the mainstream. What then? Line our homes with lead? Lead causes Cancer! Stop the e-fields altogether? Not likely. I yield the floor back to anyone who would care to share their thoughts here.

Just as has been occuring throughout the history of mankind, man will evolve to a form tolerant of its ever changing environment.

I am somewhat surprised at your question. There is plenty of information on the web about the effects of exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation on health. There are defiantly standards in various countries that cover this especially when you talk about mobile phones. Do they not have such standards where you are or have I misunderstood your question?

I couldn't agree with you more. Many studies look at close proximity radiation. My concern is the waves from radio and TV stations, police radios, etc., etc. If your radio can tune into it, it is going through your body, and more importantly, your brain. There is a very thin line between the types of exposure, but just over that line is a lot of stuff. Thanks for your input.

Your right on about my inquiry. Let's say for a moment we are in a time before cell phones and microwave ovens. TV broadcasts and radio broadcasts, Police radios. From birth to death we have these signals going through our bodies every second of every day. Is it possible that over one or two generations, human beings are being changed in a negative way? What about Neutrino's ? Billions and billions go through every substance known to man. I'm sure you are aware of the tank of water at the bottom of an abandoned mine. Yes, there is plenty of information on the web about similar questions. But the dam has broken and it is impossible to sort through the information. To date, I am aware of no person to understand the complexity of my research. Thank you for your reply.

We also have concerns, and what was that I read about Russia Banning Micro-Wave Ovens alltogether????

In the beginning of Microwave oven usage, it was widely rumored that the devices Leaks while in use. I have used a spectrometer on several models, and sure enough there is microwave radiation coming from the appliances. (Amounts vary by manufacturer.) I also know that if you stand directly in front of a long distance transmitter, you are done for. When I was back in college, the campus had a transmitter for chem-physics, and some students wondered what would happen to a often used radar speed trap from the state police. Two seconds was all it took. The radar gun turned to smoke, and the Police Officer was bailing out! Not that I was watching or anything! kinda like the old "Cheech and Chong" movies where the vehicle filled with smoke spontaneously. The campus had to pay for damages.

You know, if you actually break down any element in the periodic table, you know the stuff we are made from can be modeled. Everything, even DNA is made from elements of acids. At the core of the core of any acid compound are elements and the elements are made of atoms and atoms are really tiny energy models of their own and follow a quantum state model. And atoms are always looking to reduce their total energy all the time, because that is what energy does. It goes from higher to lower states, that is why there are so many lazy people muching off the rest of us, nobody wants to work it takes too much energy so they are really just taxing us all in a preverbial kind of way. Managing all this energy is the job of organizations and society and many civilizations have come and gone trying to realize what to do with themselves after they have grown as big as they can get. I guess the diversify themselves or divest, but they never really last forever. Like our social experiment here in the USA. The model seems to work, at least better than the world average as we made it to the top of the power chain, now if we can figure out what to do with ourselves, that would be good so we can keep this experiment going, but I digress.

Everything we do is designed to stay alive, keep us alive, keep feeding the E&M inside us. But eventually, we all die, cell by cell, atom by atom. Some sooner than others, some by accident, some on purpose, some just because we cannot stand eachother in the same room or country, or planet. Again, I digress. But if we can, find a wave that neutralizes us, fills us with love, (releases endorphins) in our minds and bodies we will all feel better, at least until the love lasts. But we have to work, create good things that makes people feel better, (release more endorphins) in a good way, that keeps us all busy, for a common goal. Some say drugies got it figured out they just take the short cut (morphine) but that is just cheating and it takes all the fun out of creating a really big sensation of happiness.

So, you see, we are all bundles of energy, a form of E&M, existing in physical form only visible by our own eyes wavelegth detetection algorythm. If you research more about E&M you will find that light is both a partical and a wave. Therefore it is possible that we are made of E&M building blocks at a sub atomic level and are also describable as waves, rather complex waves, but waves none the less.

In fact, it is no wonder that everything we say, hear, touch and feel is a form of waves and patterns. I would even venture to say that smell is a form of a wave, if not a partical. But cannot prove it just yet.

The feeling of love, a wave, the feeling of pain, another wave, the feeling of being in synch with each other without even speaking, is all about our own internal natural frequencies constructive or destructive interferance patterns with those other bodies around us. All waves in a giant bath tub of life spinning around a nuclear explosion feeding us more energy that keeps us all moving along one day after another.

They operate at very very low frequencies, as such, they travel very very far, and they operate at very high frequencies such as light. They are directional and eminate from our bodies and our bodies receive them, absorb them, hence color is seen (the other colors are absorbed and turned into heat and other forms of energy). Some people can channel their energy, but then it starts to get into wierd topics of interest that nobody is ready to accept.

Basically,we are more than shopping mall masses and the universal formula for the is going to be pretty simple once someone figures it all out. I think Albert was almost there. Who knows, maybe he is is here right now. At least not in physicall form, maybe in his wave form? Jury still out on this one.

If you do more research you will see the Electromagnetic Radiation the human body creates on its own is at a higher level then that which leaks out of a microwave oven. Making having babies illegal in most countries.

OK, the body is a machine. Who is in the driver's seat? Can random sparks of synapses of the brain cause this conversation we are having?
