Safe As Houses?: Ill-Health and Electro-Stress in the Home [Paperback]

David Cowan (Author), Rodney Girdlestone (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1996

There is now abundant evidence that bad energies can make you ill. Here is a book that will help you protect your home from harmful energies. This century has seen a dramatic advance in the incursion of electricity into our everyday lives - from the electric pylons to the latest gadgets in our kitchens. However, with increasing complexity of the electrical equipment - like radio, TV, microwave and radar transmission - have come growing health problems. New university-based research (as at Bristol University) shows that high voltage cables may indeed cause cancer for those who live close by. At the same time we are becoming more aware of our environment and rediscovering the energy lines which are part of the Earth's electro-magnetic grid. Modern developments have disrupted this grid, causing energy blocks and creating effects which can cause illness. The authors document how an energy line from a man-made source, like a microwave transmitter, crossing a natural energy line can create accident black spots. This authoritative book will help you: - Discover whether you are at risk from some electro-stress in your neighbourhood. - Assess any risk to your health from appliances such as microwave oven, a computer monitor, your wiring, etc. - Tell you how to measure any 'hot spots' in your home, and what action to take if you find any. - How to use dowsing rods to find the Earth energy lines in or near your home. - To understand whether you are suffering from geopathic stress and what you can do about it.

This review is from: Safe As Houses?: Ill-Health and Electro-Stress in the Home (Paperback)

This is an outstanding book!

David Cowan, a dowser and practitioner specialising in aiding recovery from geopathic stress (illness caused by unhealthy energies emanating from the earth and artificial electromagnetic equipment) has succinctly recounted his experiences into a manual par excellence; not only an explanation of the hows and whys of geopathic stress, but also how everyone can easily combat problems associated with it.

Of the many books I have read on ley lines and geopathic phenomena, none are clearer, nor as insightful as this. Using his vast experience, Cowan describes the many types of lines, waves and spirals which are detectable with both scientific and dowsing equipment; how they are generated in nature, what they `look' like and why, as well as showing how the layperson as well as advanced practitioner and scientist can become closely associated with them to the point of being able to create and manipulate them for the benefit of oneself and others.

This is a true glimpse into the knowledge of the ancient megalithic builders. A tradition now largely lost to the modern world, except through people such as Cowan, Feng Shui practitioners and modern mystics.

Whilst many scientifically verifiable phenomena are discussed in this book, so are so-called paranormal events such as sick-buildings, spirit or entity phenomena, demons etc. All dealt with in a clear and easily understood way as relating to the various effects of living in areas with unhealthy spirals of energy. Much of the mysticism is removed from such phenomena, thereby laying down a challenge for orthodox science to include such things within its remit.

Rodney Girdlestone, a chemical engineer, naturopath and specialist in geopathic stress, has written clearly and comprehensively on the many hazards which surround us both in the home and in the environment from electromagnetic sources such as electric pylons, house electric circuits and appliances, as well as the multitude of EM signals such as microwaves and radio waves which are and are increasingly presenting major and minor health hazards to everyone alive today.

Not only are many common diseases found to be associated with unhealthy energy streams and spirals, such as cancers, allergies, Alzheimer's Disease, Chronic Fatigue, ME etc., but they are also simply addressed using the various methods given in the book.

Cowan's work is further expanded in his follow-up book, Ancient Energies of the Earth (with Anne Silk - a professional optician with an holistic interest in the welfare of her patients, here specialising in natural energy phenomena) . In which, he focuses on the ley line system deliberately manipulated by the megalithic builders of previous millennia. Having walked and dowsed thousands of miles over Scotland for many years, he has directly mapped and interpreted various ley systems and energies emanating from natural environmental, as well as man-made structures and shown clearly how they interact and affect the health and mentality of people and animals. From strange lights, to missing time, crop circles and ghostly apparitions, much becomes clear as to the probable mechanism which so many others have speculated to explain. The result of which is an intimate understanding of the (conventionally) mysterious minds of those who built the stone circles, ring and cup marks and old straight tracks in ancient times.

This latter book is also an absolute classic. The best book by far I have yet seen on earth energies. It is such a shame that the publishers decided to stop printing it after the initial short print run. Hopefully, Cowan will find a more receptive outlet for his outstanding and immensely valuable work.

Thanks David!
