Electro-Magnetic Fields in the Home Environment (Color TV,Computer Monitor,Microwave Oven,Cellular Phone,ETC) as Potential Contributing Factors for the Induction of Oncogen C-fos Ab1,Oncogen C-fos Ab2,Integrin α 5 β 1 and Development of Cancer,as Well as Effects of Microwave on Amino Acid Composition of Food and Living Human Brain
The effects, on normal human subjects, of 3 minutes exposure to electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) emitted from: A) personal computers, B) color television sets, or C) microwave¬ovens, or cellular phones were compared by placing the same large sheet of aluminum foil with a square hole or rectangular band-shaped hole at the chest level (or at the side of the head with the cellular phone), with or without grounding the aluminum foil, using the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test Dysfunction Localization and Molecular Identification Methods with cancer related substances (i.e„ Oncogen C-fos Ab2 and mercury in the cell nucleus, Integrin α5β1 in the cell & nuclear membranes, and disappearance of Acetylcholine) as reference control substances. AU the above sources of the EMFs not only induced the following various transitional abnormalities on the EMF entry area, but also induced similar abnormalities at the EMF exit area on the back (where the abnormality was found in the same shape as exposed EMF entry area, and the effect lasted for a shorter time than the entry point of the EMF):
A) Exposure of the body at about 50 cm from the monitor of some of the typical personal computers resulted in: Al) decrease in Acetylcholine; A2) appearance of circulatory disturbance with the appearance of Thromboxane B2; A3) short-lasting appearance of Oncogen C-fos Ab2; A4) short-lasting appearance of Oncogen C-fos Ab1, though it lasted longer than C-fos Ab2; A5) no appearance of Integrin α5β1.B) part of the chest was exposed at a distance between 1 meter and up to 3 meters from a color television sized anywhere from 13” to 21,” resulting in: Bl) decrease in Acetylcholine; B2) appearance of circulatory disturbance with the appearance of Thromboxane B2; B3) short-lasting appearance of Oncogen C-fos Ab2; B4) short-lasting appearance of Oncogen C-fos Ab1, though it lasted longer than C-fos Ab2;
B5) very short-lasting appearance of Integrin α5β1.
C) When body was exposed, at a distance of 0.5m - 2 meters, to microwaves emitted as leakage from a small microwave oven (about 2.45 GHz with 450 Watt ouput), the effects usually lasted about 2 to 3 times the exposure time at the exposed area and 1.6 to 2 times the exposure time at the back of the body at the EMF exit area. Immediately after microwave radiation was discontinued, there were the following post-exposure effects expressed in reference to the EMF exposure time: C1) decrease in Acetylcholine (about 2 to 3 times); C2) appearance of circulatory disturbance with the appearance of Thromboxane B2 (about 2 times); C3) short-lasting appearance of Oncogen C-fos Ab2 (slightly shorter than exposure time); C4) short-lasting appearance of Oncogen C-fos Ab1 (close to exposure time); C5) very short-lasting appearance of Integrin α5β1 (about 1/6 of exposure time). Similar but less effect was found with some hand-held cellular phones (824.030-848.098MHz) placed within 5-10 cm from the human head. When the aluminum foil was grounded, less abnormality appeared even at the exposed part of the chest wall or head in all of the above experiments. This means that prolonged, repeated exposure to EMFs from TV's (about 16 KHz), microwave ovens (2.45 GHz), or other similar or higher frequencies without any EMF protection may contribute to the possible development of cancer cells if additional cancer-related virus infection, mercury deposits and other factors coexist, whereas EMF from personal computers, such as the Macintosh II (34.9 KHz), did not induce Integrin α5β1 and is therefore less pathogenic than TV. The shape of the area of EMF- induced abnormality at the EMF exit area on the back had a unique pattern characterized by an identical shape corresponding to the shape on the EMF entry area on the chest (and vice versa if the entry area was changed from the front to the back). Therefore, if a strong EMF is coming from a band-shaped area under the bed during sleep to the back of the body for a prolonged period of time, then the front of the body will have an imprint of a similar continuous band-shaped abnormality in the cross- sectional area through the front and back of the body. Intractable pain or malignant tumors appeared in the cross-sectional areas of 2 or more EMF fields in our clinical cases. When rice with water was cooked or milk was warmed by microwave oven, most of the L-Amino Acids changed to D-Amino Acids. Microwave exposure to the human induced similar amino acid changes. Thus the consumption of microwave-cooked food and exposure of the human body to microwaves over a long period of time may influence the nutritional state of the individual and may contribute to induction of cancer as well as Alzheimers Disease.
