The author makes a powerful case for the modern day electrification of our homes and public places being a contributing factor in many of our modern diseases. He cites historical statistics backing up his claim. Milham is both a physician and an epidemiologist, so he has some qualifications in this area.
The centerpiece of the book is the case of La Quinta Middle School in California in 2004, where a surprising number of teachers were coming down with cancer. There were a total of 18 cancers in 16 teachers, to be exact. This was abnormally high--more than triple the expected rate for California. Melanoma levels alone were 11 times greater than average, with four melanoma cases among the small group of teachers. After reading about the problem, Milham volunteered to assist in tracking down the cause at the school, but he was rebuffed by the deputy superintendent. Later, however, he was invited in by a teacher during a period when the school was closed and, using a simple microsurge meter, he discovered dirty electricity levels that were off the charts.
Dirty electricity is a term for microsurges and noise riding on the standard electrical waveform. It can be caused by electrical appliances and devices, fluorescent bulbs, and many other issues. Upon submitting his findings to the superintendent, he received a threatening letter from the school attorney. Milham then went over their heads and involved a public health agency, who ultimately verified his findings.
After reading this, I got my own microsurge meter, removed compact fluorescent bulbs from my home, and added a dozen dirty electricity filters. Now my home's electricity is in the clean range. The result was a greater feeling of calmness and general well being. The human body is electromagnetic, but most people don't realize that the body is also like an antenna and will pick up the EMF around it. This can actually be measured and verified with a body voltage meter. So it's not surprising that things like dirty electricity and high electromagnetic fields can alter or hinder the normal signals produced in the body and thereby compromise health, producing cancer and other mystery diseases.
In any case, I highly recommend this book. Afterward you probably won't look at your home's electricity in the same benign way as before. But the good news is you can do something about it.
