This was on one of the morning network TV shows presented as "news."
Some woman was on the tube with a gossamer drape of some clingy fabric and a hat that looked like something a bee keeper would wear. The story is that she is hyper sensitive to electromagnetic radiation and suffers an allergic reaction when outside and unprotected.
They showed her aluminum foil lined bedroom and some "doctor" (they didn't give his field or credentials, but made it sound like he's an MD) said he's seen the number of cases quadruple in the last two years.
I figure this almost has to be bogus . . . but . . .
I did read about some doctor proving with some convincing evidence that fewer T cells are produced around strong low frequency EM transformers and sub stations and might account for the epidemiological studies that have linked nervous system cancers and leukemia to people that work around such stuff. His research seemed on the up and up along with some university sponsored research that was supposed to debunk the idea that you can get cancer from power lines.
At least with T cells - you can count them, and they are known to protect against cancer - so I'm thinking that may be valid - unfortunately his funding was cut before he could eliminate some of the other variables that may have crept into his study.
So - don't throw away all of your aluminum hats just yet?
Lot of hits on: many of them look bogus, but I haven't looked at nearly enough to make a judgment.
