5g is being rolled out across the country, despite growing evidence that it is disruptive to our health, our safety, and the environment. The Invisible Rainbow is the groundbreaking story of electricity as it’s never been told before―exposing its very real impact on the biosphere and human health.

100,000 copies sold!

Over the last 220 years, society has evolved a universal belief that electricity is ‘safe’ for humanity and the planet. Scientist and journalist Arthur Firstenberg disrupts this conviction by telling the story of electricity in a way it has never been told before―from an environmental point of view―by detailing the effects that this fundamental societal building block has had on our health and our planet.

In The Invisible Rainbow, Firstenberg traces the history of electricity from the early eighteenth century to the present, making a compelling case that many environmental problems, as well as the major diseases of industrialized civilization―heart disease, diabetes, and cancer―are related to electrical pollution.

"Few individuals today are able to grasp the entirety of a scientific subject and present it in a highly engaging manner . . . Firstenberg has done just that with one of the most pressing but neglected problems of our technological age."―BRADLEY JOHNSON,MD, Amen Clinic, San Francisco

"[A] masterpiece."―Celia Farber, investigative journalist

"This seminal book...will transform your understanding ...of the environmental and health effects of electricity and radio frequencies"―Paradigm Explorer

From the introduction

"We live today with a number of devastating diseases that do not belong here, whose origin we do not know, whose presence we take for granted and no longer question. What it feels like to be without them is a state of vitality that we have completely forgotten. . . . These are the diseases of civilization, that we have also inflicted on our animal and plant neighbors, diseases that we live with because of a refusal to recognize the force that we have harnessed for what it is. The 6o-cycle current in our house wiring, the ultrasonic frequencies in our computers, the radio waves in our televisions, the microwaves in our cell phones, these are only distortions of the invisible rainbow that runs through our veins and makes us alive. But we have forgotten. It is time that we remember."

Review

“Few individuals today are able to grasp the entirety of a scientific subject and present it in a highly engaging manner, in plain English, without losing any of the details. In The Invisible Rainbow, Firstenberg has done just that with one of the most pressing but neglected problems of our technological age. This book, which as a medical doctor I found hard to put down, explores the relationship between electricity and life from beginning to end: from the early eighteenth century to today, and from the point of view of the physician, the physicist, and the average person in the street. Firstenberg makes a compelling case that the major diseases of civilization―heart disease, diabetes, and cancer―are in large part related to the pollution of our world by electricity.”―Bradley Johnson, MD, Amen Clinic, San Francisco



The Invisible Rainbow is wonderful. Firstenberg has done his research thoroughly. His book is easily readable and provocative while being entertaining. A remarkable contribution.”―David O. Carpenter, MD, director, Institute for Health and the Environment, School of Public Health, State University of New York at Albany



“I found it to be a mystery unfolding and could not put it down. It shines a new light on diseases that come from electrical development, and addresses current environmental crises that only a few yet realize are the consequence of electrosmog. This book is very, very important.”―Sandy Ross, PhD, president, Health and Habitat, Inc.



“I was stunned by this book. It is an extremely valuable document about an increasingly widespread environmental health risk to which we are all exposed. I am overwhelmed with admiration for what Firstenberg has accomplished.”―William E. Morton, MD, DrPH, professor emeritus, Oregon Health Sciences University



“Firstenberg is a pioneer in the sense that Rachel Carson was a pioneer.”―Chellis Glendinning, PhD, author of When Technology Wounds

Firstenberg's 'Invisible Rainbow', in addition to being a fascinating read from a historical perspective, is much more than a mere telling of the history of electricity. Stunning in it's scope, it constitutes an absolutely devastating, paradigm-shattering critique of man's obsession with modern technology, right up there with Jerry Mander's 'In the Absence Of the Sacred'.

The book is extremely well researched and copiously referenced with an index of over 145 pages of cited source material. In it you'll learn of the well documented but heretofore untold links between electromagnetic pollution and the 'big three' killers – diabetes, cancer, and heart disease, which as the author notes, barely warranted a reference in pre-industrial medical texts.

You'll also learn about the last country to adopt an electrical grid – Bhutan, whose populous was still traveling mostly by horseback as late as the 1990's, and the profound effect this sudden adoption on a wide scale of the countries electrical infrastructure has had on it's people's health in just a few short decades.

You'll see how and why it is the ever-growing sea of artificial electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) the world is now swimming in, and not climate change as it is assumed, that is the greater culprit behind the growing loss of biodiversity, including phenomena such as bee colony collapse disorder.

One only hopes enough people are ready to hear and comprehend that in order to save the bees, along with perhaps all life on the planet including ourselves, it will be necessary to temper if not altogether abandon the love affair with our electronic gadgets, even as society is hurtling toward 'Smart Cities' and the 'Internet Of Things'. It's a stark reality, but one that must be confronted, and now. Just as ignorance can no longer be claimed over the dangers of Big Tobacco or toxic pesticides, so too must society as a whole come to grips with this. The Invisible Rainbow stands out as a giant contribution toward that end and deserves to be as widely read as possible.

Fascinating read! I never considered the impact that all the electronics/electrical products we have affect our health in so many ways. This us a must read for anyone who is health conscious. Bedsides the food we eat our electromagnetic field has even more serious consequences to our overall survival as a species on our little planet. Even our flora and fauna is impacted by the proliferation of radio waves microwaves, ultra low frequencies are impacted. I worry about our future!! For all the advances of mankind we are actually hurting ourselves more than ever imagined.

This book is incredibly informative and I have found myself recommending it over and over recently. The author goes into a detailed history of the development of electricity and the effects of it on humans, wildlife and nature. You can't read this book without wondering about rubber stamped government regulations that insist there are no noticeable effects. Just like with asbestos and tobacco, it's only a matter of time before we wake up and start demanding better research.

This book is amazing piece of work with 139 page bibliography of doctors and scientists to back up there claims. This book is the real deal! You want to have that ah ha moment and realize that electricity is responsible for the majority of health ailments and you are just not being told the truth. In my opinion the truth is being suppressed so that big pharma can benefit of your ailments while they treat you with meds you don’t need. Yes meds help to relieve your symptoms quicker but it doesn’t address the cause of why you got it in the first place. Always treat the symptoms instead of trying to figure out why you got them in the first place! But it’s not the doctors fault. The doctors are good people It’s just the powers that be who disregarded the finding of the past and swept it under the rug. Then create new guidelines to treat diseases. Here is one for you. If your suffering from something take two saws and cut down a telecommunications pole! Ha ha just kidding. Peace and love to everyone even the people who bash this book. Knowledge is power!!

Update: now I was debating about sharing this but I’m going to. When I was younger I was diagnosed with adhd because I was not focused and always falling asleep in school. Granted this could be a lot of kids who are young and could be anything, true. Fast forward to 1990 my junior year in high school. I had a very bad year! I suffered from headaches, passing out and having seizures. Three times this happened. One time I remember I woke up being rushed down in a in a wheelchair with a nurse saying “still no pulse.” Remembering that it felt like I was sucking on a piece of aluminum. They diagnosed me with hypoglycemia. That same year I woke up for school with migraines and I couldn’t move my neck or back. So off I went to hospital again and here comes the spinal tap, the results were nothing. Had tests for my migraines and nothing Constant nosebleed for no reasons and till this day I still have bad tinnitus in both ears. I always had trouble focusing in school and and feeling lethargic and no matter how hard I studied I had troubles. Fast forward again to 2002 I was back in hospital for physical therapy for back and neck spasms again. Now I got to admit in 2010 I really didn’t have to many issues that year and I’m not sure why but I was not in the same area that year. I was in a different state. Now let’s fast forward to Jan of 2020. This year has been bad again for me. In the beginning of year I got real sick again! Cold sweats, insomnia, headaches, fatigue, muscle cramps and pain in muscles. Difficulty breathing, chest pain, nausea, stomach issues, constant backaches and once again still tinnitus. I had bloodwork done, a scope of stomach all came back neg! This happened in Jan and again in March. Now what if I were to tell you that all these dates coincide with the rollout with the next generation of 1g, 2g, 3g not sure about 4g and then now there is 5g. Now in the news and even on this post you are being told that just because you have experiences in your life doesn’t mean causation which is true however, it doesn’t rule it out either. So if everything always comes out negative and the rollout of the next generation of wireless coincides with all your ailments let me ask you something. What would you think it is?? By the way if you haven’t read the book I’ll tell you that these are all symptoms of background radiation. I believe my inquisitive mind and god lead me to this book. I also don’t believe in coincidences like this. Everything happens for a reason.

Reviewed in Brazil on October 6, 2021
Trata-se de um livro com 183 (cento e oitenta e três) páginas apenas de bibliografia, deixando clara a rica pesquisa feita pelo Arthur Firstenberg ao produzir esta obra. Livro extraordinário, com inúmeros detalhes sobre o funcionamento do corpo humano e da eletricidade. As referências abrem um leque de possibilidades de pesquisa independente, pros mais curiosos.

Faço uma única ressalva: o primeiro tema diretamente abordado no livro são as grandes pandemias do passado. Estamos saturados disso e, mesmo sabendo que o livro é de 2017, acho até natural ficar desconfiado do que é dito. Posto isso, perseverem na leitura, pois VALE A PENA.
