Shivani Arjuna,
whose story is also detailed in The Health Effects of Electrical
Pollution (page 6), started experiencing unexplained health
problems including peaks in high blood pressure and heart
arrhythmias. After $18,000 in testing, her doctors simply said
she was experiencing panic attacks. She was not satisfied with
this diagnosis and continued to analyze other possible
conclusions. She continued to suffer with poor sleep, intestinal
problems, and tension. In The Health Effects of Electrical
Pollution, Arjuna is quoted saying, "I was so weak I felt as if
I was made of paper. I was nearly an invalid. My husband cared
for me." Dave Stetzer, an industrial engineer came to Arjuna's
home. Stetzer reported that the levels of radio-frequency
currents in Arjuna's home were the highest he had ever seen. A
typical home requires 20 filters to rid the environment of the
high frequency currents. It took 37 filters to reduce levels in
Arjuna's home (The Health Effects of Electrical Pollution by The
National Foundation for Alternative Medicine, Washington, D.C.
pg 6.) Arjuna now leads educational sessions on the effects of
electrical pollution.

Catherine Kleiber
started experiencing health problems in 1996. She and her new
husband had moved to a farm in southern Wisconsin. Kleiber had
not experienced any significant health problems up till her move
to the farm at age 23. She started experiencing fatigue, chills,
fever, and dry throat among other problems on a consistent
basis. For three years, the doctors could not determine the
source of her sudden health problems. Doctors finally diagnosed
Kleiber with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Kleiber started
recognizing that her symptoms worsened at certain times of the
year and during weather patterns. Her symptoms would get worse
when it rained or was particularly dry. She tried to figure some
type of rhyme or reason to the patterns for her symptoms.
Kleiber discovered that her symptom patterns matched up with
period peak electrical demand and changes in soil conductivity.
She investigated the patterns and discovered the phenomenon
called electrical pollution in a story in an agricultural
publication that discussed problems with stray voltage on farms
in Wisconsin. After reading more, she disconnected all
electricity in her home to see if it made any difference in her
health. She soon noticed that she was sleeping better and her
symptoms were reducing.
Kleiber also began
using the filters in her home to reduce the amount of electrical
pollution entering her home. While it may be impossible to
completely rid a home or office of electrical pollution, the
filters have proven effective for those affected, like Kleiber.

Officials Near Fort
Dix, New Jersey in a town called Brick, were trying to
understand why eight out of every 1,000 children born in Brick
since 1994 are autistic. Medical professionals could not figure
out the cause of the significant cases of autism. A 750,000-watt
Doppler weather radar instrument had been installed in 1994 in
nearby Fort Dix. The authors of the article believe that the
reason for the increased cases of autism can probably be
attributed to electrical sensitivity to the emissions from the
Doppler radar equipment.
While neither the
Environmental Protection Agency nor the Center for the
Prevention of Disease Control have published studies or policy
on electrical pollution, there is a lot of unofficial research
being done on the topic of electrical pollution and its
potential health effects. Electrical pollution could be
considered a modem day problem, coming along into society
because of the increased demand for electricity in today's
world. With this in mind, those worried about electrical
pollution have been lobbying for stricter regulation and
legislation to curb the problem. They are fighting for solutions
to possibly alleviate health problems associated with electrical
sensitivity to high frequency currents.

Why bother? The
July 5, 1999 issue of Fortune (industrial issue) states that
"Dirty power costs U.S. industry anywhere from $4 billion to $6
billion a year, according to Karl Stahlkopf, a vice president at
the utility financed Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)."
Due to insufficient isolation between the phase wires and the
primary neutral, "cleaning up" the power returning to the
utilities will "clean up" the power coming from the utilities.
"Cleaner" power can pay great dividends by extending equipment
lifetime and reducing down time. Furthermore, "cleaner" power
would reduce human and animal exposure to high frequencies,
thereby reducing the incidence and severity of symptoms of radio
wave sickness, leading to a healthier more productive future.
