Conclusions

These case studies and anecdotal reports suggest that dirty electricity is biologically active. Once dirty electricity is reduced, people's health improves. For some it is reflected in more normal blood sugar levels, for others symptoms of MS are reduced, and for still others tinnitus disappears and behavior resembling ADD/ADHD improves. Since dirty electricity is becoming ubiquitous large fractions of the population are being exposed to this pollutant and some are being adversely affected.

Diabetes, multiple sclerosis, ADD/ADHD, asthma chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia are all increasing in the population and the reasons for this increase are poorly understood. Dirty electricity may be one of the contributors to these illnesses.

According to Philips and Philips (2006) 3% of the population has electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) and 35% have symptoms of EHS. If these percentages apply to diabetics then as many as 5-60 million diabetics worldwide may be responding to the poor power quality in their environment (Wild et al.,

2004). Evidence from laboratory studies documents that insulin release and insulin- binding capacity to receptors cells is reduced by electromagnetic fields (Li et al.,

2005; Sakurai et al., 2004). It is further known that stress increases blood sugar levels in diabetics and that exposure to electromagnetic energy induces stress proteins at various frequencies (Blank and Goodman, 2004; Hinkle and Wolf,

1950).

Dirty electricity can now be monitored with meters and reduced with filters, providing scientists with the tools needed for research. What is presented here is

a handful of studies, many preliminary, with dramatic results. This area warrants further investigation to determine the mechanisms involved and the percentage of the population affected.
