A History of Electricity and Life
Arthur Firstenberg tells an incredible story of the discovery, harnessing and proliferation of electricity beginning in the mid 1700s through the present time. He covers the players, their achievements, research and conclusions. His examination of all the science including epidemiological studies is impeccable and the chapters showing the direct connections between EMFs and diabetes, influenza, and heart disease are quite eye opening. Moving on to studies of how EMFs have affected other animals, insects and plants, he shows again how the unrestricted proliferation of man-made electromagnetics has also damaged the other inhabitants of this planet.
Of particular interested to me, he covers in great detail the connections between EMFs and many symptoms of EHS (referred to as neurasthenia in the 17/1800s). Symptoms my clients battle daily including: tinnitus, depression, headaches, pressure in the chest, fogging brain and general lack of vitality.
This is truly an amazing, informative book. I highly recommend to everyone with interest in understanding how our planet and health have been foolishly electropolluted.
Excerpt from a review written by Miriam Lindbeck, EMRS (full review here)
“Graphically, eyes wide open missing nothing, Firstenberg hikes us, year by year, decade by decade, through elaborate scientific and medical discoveries, the biases and positions of doctors and physicists, the wholesale roll out of electricity and radio waves, the undeniable biological correlations, and the complete, staggering, parallel health repercussions it had and continues to have on all life forms, both visible and invisible. He opens the vaults of buried history, casting the flood light on what was long concealed, the impact of which determines our lives today. He marches us towards the future which is here now, with what is to become far worse, literally in months. We now consciously hold in our hands the dangerous and complicated situation we have been creating since the day the enfant terrible was discovered and placed into the then, and still, unwitting hands of humanity.”
Arthur Firstenberg is a scientist and journalist who is at the forefront of a global movement to tear down the taboo surrounding this subject. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa from Cornell University with a degree in mathematics, he attended the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine from 1978 to 1982. Injury by X-ray overdose cut short his medical career. For the past thirty-five years he has been a researcher, consultant, and lecturer on the health and environmental effects of electromagnetic radiation, as well as a practitioner of several healing arts.
