Does anybody know anything about this? One person with CFS on my list has been using it for about 13 weeks with good results.
The Novalite 2000 Tesla Photon Machine is one of the Tesla coil class of therapy devices which creates pulsed electromagnetic fields that deliver broadband, wide-spectrum, non-thermal photons and electrons deep into biological tissue.
In his book, Bioelectromagnetic Healing, Tom Valone writes, "With the short term, non-contacting exposures of several minutes at a time, such Tesla high voltage pulsed electromagnetic field devices may represent the ideal, non-invasive therapy of the future, accompanied by surprising lack of harmful side effects."
What does "raising cells' vibrations" mean biologically and scientifically? According to Mr. Valone, after his review of the scientific literature, devices like the Novalite 2000 Tesla Photon Machine:
Induce a flood of negatively charged electrons that penetrate the clothing and skin, terminating free radicals.
Penetrate the body easily, inducing microamperes of intercellular current, which may stimulate some degree of intracellular electroporation.
Increase ATP production levels in the cells due to the abundance of energetic electrons.
Feed the healthful respiration portion of the Krebs cycle, rather than the cancerous fermentation portion.
Optimize the Na-K pump in the cells' membranes; Increase the transmembrane potential (TMP) of the cells which boosts the immune system; andRecharge the b iophoton energy vital for DNA-cellular activation in the body.
The Novalite has 12 noble and inert gas tubes that are precisely positioned in a concentric ring to create a strong electromagnetic field around the machine. The gas tubes have been selected to develop specific results within the bio-photonic spectrum. Some of the tubes contain argon, krypton, and water vapor. Activated by a low power laser, it produces all the frequencies needed to resonate a higher pitch within your body. This electromagnetic field is unique; it raises the vibrational levels of your body to the highest of oscillations, where they were originally designed to be.
The Novalite 2000 provides a rich, electromagnetic field to the user.
During each session, you are bathed in a natural micro-current energy that circulates throughout the body.
The Novalite 2000 provides two types of energy: electrical and electro-magnetic.These two types of energy working together increase the body's cells electrical and bio-phototonic environment.
This allows dysfunctional cells to return to a more perfect and natural state.

Sarah: Electro-Sensitivity and Candida
One Member's Story - Sarah: Electro-Sensitivity and Candida
Four years ago, I was fab, fit and in my 40s with a dynamic marketing and media business, exciting social life and active sporting schedule. My lifestyle was exciting and affluent. I had energy and dynamism. Without noticing too much, I gradually succumbed to a host of symptoms which sapped my energy and stole my memory. I kept myself going but as insomnia, erratic high blood pressure and heart palpitations joined the list, I got nervous.
Two years ago, my right body tingled and I had numbness in patches down my right leg, hip and right hand. I could hear buzzing in my right ear and I suddenly lost 40% my right eye-sight overnight.
I tried my doctor, various complementary practitioners, a Chinese doctor and then as I felt more and more unwell I paid what seemed an enormous sum to visit a private 'doctor' on Harley Street. Not one of them told me what was wrong with me. This so-called 'doctor' is now being investigated by his accrediting Board. They have been unable to trace his medical qualifications and fear that he may have misrepresented his background. He diagnosed radiation on the basis of a hair test and prescribed large doses of one brand of supplements which I took religiously only to find that my health deteriorated further and that the loading on my system eventually gave me liver damage. He totally failed to diagnose the complexity of my condition.
In May 2005, I self-diagnosed radiation sickness or electro-sensitivity (ES), which is a negative biophysical response to electro-magnetic frequencies and/ or non-ionising electro-magnetic radiation. I did this with the help of several websites and their supporting writers. At this stage I was lucky to have enough energy to get up and shower, keep my house tidy, and my dog walked. All business projects were filed in my office. A light stroll with my dog would result in a myriad of symptoms overtaking me, forcing me home. I could no longer work close to computers, cordless or mobile phones without my head burning and almost exploding.
As an electro-sensitive (ES), I am currently off the NHS radar. ES formerly known as Radiation Sickness is one of the new 21st century illnesses and there could be approximately 3-10% of the Western World affected. Sweden, where the affliction is formally recognised, has more than 250,000 sufferers. In the UK, The Health Protection Agency (formerly the National Radiation Protection Board) has recently set up the HPA EMF Discussion Group which meets regularly to ascertain the extent of the ES problem in the UK. The World Health Organisation meets annually on the subject of electro-sensitivity.
Colleagues were in disbelief as my symptoms widened. My income is now zero.
To clear my system I am taking a mineral treatment prescribed to victims of Chernobyl, supplied by a pharmacy in Germany. I work voluntarily to raise the profile of the dangers of electro-magnetic frequencies (EMFs) or non-ionising electro-magnetic radiation (NIEMR).
ES is a life sentence. Sufferers are unable to work, attend public places, travel on trains and buses, dine out, and socialise with family and friends. NHS GPs are not familiar with this problem. In the main, they are unable to recognise the symptoms and often resort to prescribing tranquillisers or referring already stressed ES patients to psychiatrists!
A consensus of experienced ES practitioners from around the world have postulated that the rain-barrel effect or accumulation of total body toxin loadings eventually gets so heavy on the body, that ES results. Therefore, the reverse of this is true, once ES is diagnosed. It is likely that the individual already suffers other stresses and toxins, largely broken down into physical, chemical and biological categories. In my case, it was an ME replica virus, chronic Candida albicans, leaky gut, accumulated pesticides, bacteria, gluten and dairy allergies and stored trauma. The challenge has been to gradually clear these deep and accumulated sources of stress and to minimise my negative response to the great increases in electromagnetic radiation we are all now subjected to on a daily basis.
I moved during this period and found that my new house was subject to severe geopathic stress, with two black lines meeting literally under my bed. I was therefore predisposed to severe conditions. The consultant recommended new bed mattresses for us all, getting rid of all interior sprung mattresses with metal spring coils and replacing with foam. He suggested wooden bed frames to replace metal bedsteads and to move our beds into other positions. He confirmed that he has tested homes and animal barns where serious sickness exists and always finds bad geopathic stress in such places.
My symptoms have developed and expanded over the past 5 years, to include:
1. Gluten and dairy intolerances
2. Digestive problems, hypoglycaemia, irritable bowel syndrome
3. Cystitis
4. Chronic Candidiasis with thrush and anal fissures
5. ME/CFS
6. Hair loss (significant) & fingernail flaking
7. Fibromyalgia
8. Severe headaches
9. Bouts of irritability, anger and despair
10. Loss of libido
11. Memory loss
12. Sleep disturbance, insomnia, night terrors
13. Dizziness
14. Skin tingling and numbness
15. Right eye loss of vision acuity and constricted eye pupils under dim light
16. Erratic blood pressure up to 145/105 and now stable at 100/70
17. Heart arrhythmia & palpitations
18. Toothache and teeth loosening
19. Hearing humming & buzzing
20. Hormonal disturbances - low thyroid and oestrogen overload
21. Damaged liver and adrenals
22. Impending flu symptoms
23. Difficulty concentrating
24. Feelings of abnormal weakness that cannot be explained by routine
25. Numbness, clicking & weakness in joints and limbs
Symptoms are caused and exacerbated by electro-magnetic frequencies (EMFs) emitted by all manner of mobile phones, cordless home phones, wireless Internet connections, computers, microwave ovens, baby listeners, microwave room sensors linked to burglar alarms and many other sources. Powerwatch estimates that EMF emissions are some 1000 million million times greater than 30 years ago. What are we to do about this invisible peril, which affects many of us? I am unable to visit households equipped with this 21 st century technology. I am blessed with a very understanding partner and son.
I now sleep in a shielded bedroom with foil-lined wallpaper, with windows screened with EMF proof fabric. I wear a radiation proof head-net for car travel, take numerous supplements, and avoid all toxic environments. I sleep on a foam mattress supported by a wooden bed, well away from geopathic stress. I drink spring water and eat a very healthy home-cooked diet.
Additionally, I no longer use a mobile phone. Giving that up caused me withdrawal symptoms. I went through cold turkey because I was addicted to my phone. My right eye-sight has since improved enough for me not to have to wear glasses.
I work with both Electrosensitivity-UK.org and h.e.s.e.-UK as their media consultant, so I am in a position to read an immense amount of European science tha tis written about health problems associated with electromagnetic radiation.
It could well turn out to be the case that microscopic fungi / Candida albicans predisposes the human system to damage from EMFs resulting in worsening symptoms if the body remains exposed to EMFs, especially at night when the body needs to repair itself and produce melatonin.
Among many projects, I am heading up a data collection exercise of case notes from ES/EHS living in the UK for compilation into a compendium of sufferers' observations for public distribution.

Are You Sanpaku? 貴方は三白ですか？
Are You Sanpaku? 貴方は三白ですか？
When I was around 16-years-old, a friend of mine gave me a book called "Are You Sanpaku?" This introduced me to macrobiotics and the importance of having a balance of yin and yang in the diet. Sanpaku means "three whites" and is one of many traditional Eastern medicine diagnostic methods of checking the level of someone`s health. I have noticed that people on either really yin diets or really yang diets were often Sanpaku.
However, recently I have noticed that people who seem to use cell phones excessively and are exposed to high amounts of electromagnetic radiation may also be sanpaku. On a recent trip in Chile I met a guy from California, who was heavily into Macrobiotics. You would think that someone on a strict Macrobiotic Diet would not be sanpaku, right? Well, he was very sanpaku and admitted to me that he used his cell phone more than four hours a day. Perhaps these electromagnetic devices are sucking what the Japanese call Ki (気) and the Chinese call Qi (气) out of their bodies. It is believed in Eastern medicine that people with low 気 levels can also drain those around them of their 気. Or we could say that this unnatural electromagnetic radiation is similar to what is called bad Qi (邪気).
Of course, it is just a theory and there would have to be some so-called scientific proof to show this is true for people to not take it with a grain of salt. But that is where science originates -- from observation.

Sanpaku Eyes
Reflections on why People with Sanpaku eyes might suffer from severe depression, memory loss, severe mood swings, and anger, or may even end up with a criminal record (including such offenses as rape).
A healthy, "balanced" person would have the iris positioned right in the middle, so that the whites can be seen only on either side. Some people, however, have the iris "floating" so that the whites can be seen on the sides as well as below or above the iris. This condition is called sanpaku meaning "three whites". This is a sign of poor health.
Both the liver and gallbladder meridians pass through the frontal lobes which function in "complex problem solving and judging the consequences of behaviour" 8 which may therefore lead to irrational decisions and criminal offences. The meridians also pass through the sexual and adrenal organs and thus there may be excessive testosterone present and this may be why a wood imbalanced person becomes sexually deviant or goes to the extreme of rape.
JF Kennedy is an example of a wood imbalanced person with Sanpaku eyes. As president of the United States he must have been under tremendous stress. It is known that he took many drugs in the form of medication for back pain which would have effected his liver chi, had an adrenal disorder – Addison's Disease and was known to be sexually insatiable.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wood is controlled by Metal in that Metal has the ability to chop Wood. Metal representing the minerals and electrolytes in the body which govern communication and include the nervous and endocrine systems of the body. Sanpaku eyes are formed by and thus involve the nervous system and people with Sanpaku eyes are under stress which also involves the endocrine and specifically the adrenal glands. A sanpaku person thus may have a lack of minerals in the body and/or may be suffering from adrenal exhaustion.
In summation a person with a Wood Element imbalance and Sanpaku eyes may end up with a criminal record, depression or mood swings because of the wood imbalance which may affect their emotions, nervous system, hormonal levels of adrenaline and testosterone and effect their level of reasoning as to what behaviour is acceptable.
WHY SO MANY PEOPLE TODAY HAVE SANPAKU EYES
"Many people nowadays have a very mild version of this condition, because the modern diet tends to be very yin / expanded. In a mild case, you may not see "three whites". But you can see that the bottom part of the iris is just at the level of the lower eye-lid. The condition is so common that George Ohsawa once remarked when he saw a crowd of people, "You are all sanpaku"6.
Sanpaku eyes are an external manifestation of an imbalance in the wood element . The wood element requires sources of energy coming from sunshine, fresh air, fresh nutrition, positive thoughts and sufficient rest and relaxation and also requires the ability to use this gained energy in an unfettered way such as the ability to express oneself freely and "space to unfold".
Imbalances in the wood element today can be said to be caused from eating "on the run" – food that is convenient; lacks vital energy, vitamins and minerals and is generally acidic. The food is also commonly full of additives such as preservatives, colouring, and flavouring. Our food is no longer ripened in the sun, it is grown with pesiticides, and fertilizers. In the case of meat, unnatural food sources are provided to the animal, and the use of hormones and antibiotics are common.
We consume more stimulants than previously such as tea, coffee, alcohol, concentrated sugars and use more medications, drugs, and cigarettes. We tend too spend much more time driving in traffic and thus inhaling noxious gases. We do not take sufficient time to rest and relax and thus become "stressed" which affects our hormonal system which in turn affects our other systems such as the digestive system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, and reproductive system and causes disturbances in those.
The wood element is thus not provided with the essential energy that it requires to create chi and function normally and yet it is asked to remove the toxic build-up within our systems caused by these unnatural substances that require the liver and gallbladder to do more work in detoxification of our bodies.
In more serious cases, where the "three whites" are clearly visible, this indicates very poor health and high levels of stress in the body. You may see this in cancer patients and others who are seriously ill, as well as drug addicts and alcoholics, or even among young children who take excessive amounts of sweets, soft drinks and chemicalised foods. 6
To regain optimal wood chi energy and to reverse Sanpaku eyes:
go on a cleansing program to assist in ridding of all the built up toxins,
eat food that is as natural as possible (organic),
eat fresh fruits and vegetables as these have an energy which is not contained in frozen or other type of foods,
take time to breathe in deeply - "fresh air", too many people shallow breathe,
spend a few minutes in the sun daily to take in its energy, before driving into deep traffic put your air on recycle so that you do not take in the fumes,
take care of your spirit as well as your body by taking time to release and let go of negative thoughts completely & creating positive thoughts - be thankful for all the good you enjoy,
Take time to really relax the mind and body and let go of stressors, without chemical assistance
Supplements/tonics which are good for the liver such as Milk Thistle, Dandelion Tea or Essentiale may be taken, fresh beetroot and carrot juice are excellent liver tonics
It is advisable to take daily a high potency Multivitamin and mineral
It is how we look after our lifestyles and specifically where we invest our energies and how and with what we replenish our energies that will determine how effectively we eliminate Sanpaku eyes.

dear homeolist,
many on the list may be aware of the japanese term "sanpaku".
this is used to describe eyes that (when looked at at eye level) show the white sclera, between the cornea and the lower lid. it is believed that this is due to a system imbalance and that people having such eyes meet tragic accidents and fatal tragedies happen to them. people like john f kennedy,marilyn monroe, robert kennedy had this sort of eyes.
it is also believed that macrobiotic diet can correct this imbalance and the tragic fatality can be avoided. some suggest chinese acupuncture and chiropractics to balance the system and correct this. some have opined that most of us are sanpaku or turn sanpaku when our systems are disbalanced.

Sanpaku Eyes

When a baby is born, the iris, or colored part of the eye, is usually beautifully balanced between the upper and lower eye lids. It touches the upper and lower lids, so that no white, or sclera, shows above or below. The sclera is visible only to the left and right of the iris. This indicates a balanced and healthy nervous system. The baby is alert and in generally sound health.
When a person dies, the iris rises so that it partially disappears under the upper eyelid. The white sclera shows below. In Oriental Medicine, we call such an appearance sanpaku, which means "three whites" showing. Three whites, or sanpaku, is common among those who are ill or exhausted. It is most severe among those who are gravely ill and approaching death.
Three whites show that a person's nervous system is seriously imbalanced. Such a person's mind, body, and spirit are out of harmony with the larger forces of the cosmos. The person's intuition is off; his or her ability to assess people and situations is weak.
Generally, there are two types of sanpaku. The first is yin sanpaku, white showing below the iris, which is very common, especially among drug addicts. Here, the iris floats upward, revealing the sclera below. The second type is yang sanpaku, white showing above the iris; here the iris sinks downward toward the bottom eyelid. This reveals a dangerous or violent character. Charles Manson has beautiful yang sanpaku eyes.
If the white shows below the iris, the condition is yin, indicating that the dangers come from outside. A person with yin sanpaku eyes will place himself or herself in dangerous or threatening situations unwittingly- and may not survive.
If the white shows above, the condition is yang, and the danger comes from within. A person with yang sanpaku eyes is extremely violent, filled with rage, and likely poses a threat to himself and others. He may destroy himself, but may also take others with him.
The macrobiotic philosopher George Ohsawa wrote a book called You Are All Sanpaku and dedicated it to John Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln, among others. Ohsawa said they were all seriously sanpaku and thus suffered from impaired judgment that indicated poor health and premature death. These people were excessively yin sanpaku. All of them accepted danger, but were unable to survive it.
Yin sanpaku, or white showing below the isis, is the result of excessive intake of yin substances, such as sugar, refined grains, alcohol, and medical drugs.
Yang sanpaku, or white showing above the iris, comes from excessive intake of meat, salt, and hard cheeses, and from indulgence in violence. Yang sanpaku shows a character that is self-centered and bent on fulfilling its own ambition, something without regard for the cost.
Balanced eyes, with the iris touching the upper and lower lids, reveal a balanced condition and sound judgment. Balanced eyes come from a balanced view of life and sound dietary habits, especially the consumption of whole cereal grains and fresh vegetables.
When former Indian Prime minister Indira Gandhi was killed, Time magazine published a series of photographs of her, including one taken just before she was assassinated. The picture clearly revels her yin sanpaku eyes, which reflected her condition and revealed that she was in danger.

CERTIFICATION PROGRAM: ELECTRO-MAGNETIC RADIATION SAFETY ADVISORS (CERSA)
A number of health experts (Dr. George Carlo, Dr Gerald Goldberg) are now predicting a major health crisis due to the unprecedented increase in ambient EMR (electromagnetic radiation) levels. The following program should help prepare health professionals for this crisis.
http://www.safewireless.org/CERSA/tabid/209/Default.aspx
CERTIFICATION PROGRAM: ELECTRO-MAGNETIC RADIATION SAFETY ADVISORS (CERSA)
RATIONALE AND NEED:
Over the past five years, the problem of electromagnetic radiation health risks has gained international prominence. While some government bodies around the world have initiated precautionary preventive steps, most regulatory bodies have lagged behind in terms of consumer protection. This has left a void that, of necessity, is being filled by professional clinical practitioners, public health practitioners, representatives of companies promoting various intervention technologies and myriad other concerned parties.
While the science of electro-magnetic radiation dangers and solutions continues to evolve, there are limited avenues available for professionals involved in remedial practice to receive up-to-date knowledge and practical information for use in the field. The vast majority of the critically important public protection information has not yet appeared in mainstream professional journals and, because of this lag time, is not widely understood among professionals in the applied clinical sciences. Consequently, there is a great deal of misleading information, false information and hyperbolic claims regarding risks and remedies circulating amongst various groups, including both the news media and professionals charged with public health protection.
Central to the mission and terms of reference of the Science and Public Policy Institute's Safe Wireless Initiative, is the development of up-to-date knowledge about the public health risks of electro-magnetic radiation, preventive interventions targeting those risks, and the promotion of public education about both the risks and the remedies. The CERSA certification program is offered to further those educational goals and to facilitate informed, science-based decision-making by those charged with protecting public health and safety.
The CERSA certification program is comprehensive and is designed to be of practical educational and pragmatic application value for clinical practitioners, public health professionals, government regulators, school board members, product researchers, salespersons, industrial safety personnel, journalists, personal injury attorneys, union officials and corporate management.

CERTIFICATION PROGRAM: ELECTRO-MAGNETIC RADIATION SAFETY ADVISORS (CERSA)
RATIONALE AND NEED:
Over the past five years, the problem of electromagnetic radiation health risks has gained international prominence. While some government bodies around the world have initiated precautionary preventive steps, most regulatory bodies have lagged behind in terms of consumer protection. This has left a void that, of necessity, is being filled by professional clinical practitioners, public health practitioners, representatives of companies promoting various intervention technologies and myriad other concerned parties.

Neural Protocol
From what I know about Antioxidants, this program looks like an excellent protocol for those suffering from the effects of electromagnetic exposure and also as a protectorant for those who would like to take precautionary action but may not feel that they are being affected. Whey Powder in combination with a number of other antioxidants (like ALA and NCA) has also been known to boost the body's antioxidant Glutathione stores. Heavy-metal chelation therapy is also known to help in preventing of glutathione depletion.
http://bcn.boulder.co.us/health/rmeha/rmehztrc.htm
Neural Protocol
I. Glutathione By Nebulizer
Beginning at 30 mg/ml, 4cc/d and working up as tolerated to 100 mg/cc or more (up to 200 mg/cc) 4cc/d or more. If irritation at 30 mg/cc dilute further with normal saline - (the worse the neurogenic inflammation, the more dilute the initial dose needed).
II. General Antioxidants In Capsules
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) 500 mg per day or more if indicated by patient self testing by Perque C strips 800-806-8671.
Thorne Ultimate E, 500 IU with 200 IU gamma tocopherol (a peroxynitrite scavenger).
Selenium, 200 micrograms per day, once per day.
Coenzyme Q-10, 100 mg once or twice daily. Micellized form (Perque Mitogard) for better adsorption.
Alpha lipoic acid, 600 mg/day. Reduce if gastric irritation, or take separately (e.g. Thorne) and increase gradually until full dose tolerated).
Components of superoxide dismutase:
Zinc, 15 mg/day as picolinate (or more if deficient on RBC mineral testing).
Copper, 1 mg/day, as copper sulfate (or more if deficient on RBC mineral testing).
Manganese, 1 mg/day, as Mn gluconate or picolinate (or more if deficient on RBC mineral testing).
Compounds related to peroxynitrite biochemistry:
Magnesium, 200 mg, twice per day, as magnesium malate (or more if deficient on RBC mineral testing).
Betaine (methyl donor), 500 mg/day.
2 mg of 5 methyl tetrahydrofolate (bioactive form) or folic acid (or more if deficient on SpectraCell testing).
Scavengers of peroxynitrite and its breakdown products:
Ginkgo biloba extract, 60 mg, twice per day.
Silymarin (milk thistle extract) 100 mg, twice per day.
Bilberry extract, 60 mg, twice per day.
Cranberry extract, 200 mg twice per day.
Carotenoid mixture (5 mg lycopene, 5 mg beta-carotene, 5 mg lutein, smaller amounts of other carotenoids, once per day.
III. Nitric Oxide Scavenger: Hydroxycobalamine
Hydroxocobalamin (Vitamin B12)
All patients: Nasal hydroxycobalamine 500 mcg/spray, one spray each nostril every 15 minutes at onset of reaction until symptoms clear. May also use several times daily or more if helpful.
Concentrated up to 5000 mcg/drop, one drop added to glutathione in nebulizer JUST before nebulizing (Do not store mixed).
Intramuscular injections, up to 20 mcg, multiple weekly doses to continuously interrupt cycle (daily nebulizer better).
(use nebulizer (or injections) to build up body levels, nasal for reactions).
Dr. Ziem recommends two years at this time of full neural protocol or until no longer reactive. Then maintenance antioxidants are needed lifelong. With more environmental controls, less will be needed: with poor environmental controls, the protocol alone cannot correct the problem.

The Problem is the Ego; the Problem is Unconsciousness - so let's get out of the mud!
This is an excellent book and I thought I would share
Some Quotes from Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now: (1999)
When consciousness frees itself from its identification with physical and mental forms, it becomes what we call pure or enlightened consciousness or presence. This has already happened in a few individuals, and it seemed destined to happen on a much larger scale, although there is no absolute guarantee that it will happen. Most humans are still in the grip of the egoic mode of consciousness: identified with their mind and run by their mind. If they do not free themselves from their mind in time, they will be destroyed by it. They will experience increasing confusion, conflict, violence, illness, despair, madness. Egoic mind has become like a sinking ship. If you don't get off, you will go down with it. The collective egoic mind is the most dangerous insane and destructive entity ever to inhabit this planet. p. 84
The 'second coming' of Christ is a transformation of human consciousness, a shift from time to presence, from thinking to pure consciousness, not the arrival of some man or woman. If 'Christ' were to return tomorrow in some externalized form, what could he or she possibly say to you other than this: 'I am the Truth. I am divine presence. I am eternal life. I am within you. I am here. I am Now.'
Never personalize Christ. Don't make Christ into a form identity. Avatars, divine mothers, enlightened masters, the very few that are real, are not special as persons. Without a false self to uphold, defend, and feed, they are more simple, more ordinary than the ordinary man or woman. Anyone with a strong ego would regard them as insignificant or, more likely, not see them at all.
If you are drawn to an enlightened teacher, it is because there is already enough presence in you to recognize presence in another. There were many people who did not recognize Jesus or the Buddha, as there are and always have been many people who are drawn to false teachers. Egos are drawn to bigger egos. Darkness cannot recognize light. Only light can recognize light. So don't believe that the light is outside you or that it can only come through one particular form. If only your master is an incarnation of God, then what are you: Any kind of exclusivity is identification with form, and identification with form means ego, no matter how well disguised. pp 86-87
True salvation is fulfillment, peace, life in all its fullness. It is to be who you are, to feel within you the good that has no opposite, the joy of Being that depends on nothing outside itself. It is felt not as a passing experience but as an abiding presence. In theistic language, it is to "know God" - not as something outside you but as your own innermost essence. True salvation is to know yourself as an inseparable part of the timeless and formless One Life from which all that exists derives its being.
True salvation is a state of freedom - from fear, from suffering, from a perceived lack and insufficiency and therefore from all wanting, needing, grasping, and clinging. It is freedom from compulsive thinking, from negativity, and above all from past and future as a psychological need. Your mind is telling you that you cannot get there from here. Something needs to happen or you need to become this or that before you can be free and fulfilled. It is saying, in fact, that you need time - that you need to find, sort out, do, achieve, acquire, become, or understand something before you can be free and complete. You see time as the means to salvation, whereas in truth it is the greatest obstacle to salvation. You think you can't get there from where and who you are at this moment because you are not yet complete or good enough, but the truth is that here and now is the only point from where you can get there. You "get" there by realizing that you are there already. You find God the moment you realize that you don't need to seek God. So there is no only way to salvation: Any condition can be used, but no particular condition is needed. However, there is only one point of access: the Now. There can be no salvation away from this moment. You are lonely without a partner? Enter the Now from there. You are in a relationship? Enter the Now from there.
There is nothing you can ever do or attain that will get you closer to salvation than it is at this moment. This may be hard to grasp for a mind accustomed to thinking that everything worthwhile is in the future. Nor can anything that you ever did or that was done to you in the past prevent you from saying yes to what is and taking your attention deeply into the Now. You cannot do this in the future. You do it now or not at all. pp. 122-123
As the egoic mode of consciousness and all the social, political, and economic structures that it created enter the final stage of collapse, the relationships between men and women reflect the deep state of crisis in which humanity now finds itself. As humans have become increasingly identified with their mind, most relationships are not rooted in Being and so turn into a source of pain and become dominated by problems and conflict. p. 130
Humanity is under great pressure to evolve because it is our only chance of survival as a race. This will affect every aspect of your life and close relationships in particular. Never before have relationships been as problematic and conflict ridden as they are now. As you may have noticed, they are not here to make you happy or fulfilled. If you continue to pursue the goal of salvation through a relationship, you will be disillusioned again and again. But if you accept that the relationship is here to make you conscious instead of happy, then the relationship will offer you salvation, and you will be aligning yourself with the higher consciousness that wants to be born into this world. For those who hold onto the old patterns, there will be increasing pain, violence, confusion, and madness. p. 132
The moment you start to argue, you have identified with a mental position and are now defending not only that position but also your sense of self. The ego is in charge. You have become unconscious. At times it may be appropriate to point out certain aspects of your partner's behavior. If you are very alert, very present, you can do so without ego involvement - without blaming, accusing, or making the other wrong. p. 133
To relinquish judgement does not mean that you do not recognize dysfunction and unconsciousness when you see it. It means "being the knowing" rather than "being the action" and the judge. You will then either be totally free of reaction or you may react and still be the knowing, the space in which the reaction is watched and allowed to be. Instead of fighting the darkness, you bring in the light. Instead of reacting to delusion, you see the delusion yet at the same time look through it. Being the knowing creates a clear space of loving presence that allows all things and all people to be as they are. No greater catalyst for transformation exists. If you practice this, your partner cannot stay with you and remain unconscious. p. 133
Do you truly know what is positive and negative? Do you have the total picture? There have been many people for whom limitation, failure, loss, illness, or pain in whatever form turned out to be their greatest teacher. It taught them to let go of false self-images and superficial ego-dictated goals and desires. It gave them depth, humility, and compassion. It made them more real. p. 149
Ego is the unobserved mind that runs your life when you are not present as the witnessing consciousness, the watcher. The ego perceives itself as a separate fragment in a hostile universe, with no real inner connection to any other being, surrounded by other egos which it either sees as a potential threat or which it will attempt to use for its own ends. The basic ego patterns are designed to combat its own deep-seated fear and sense of lack. They are resistance, control, power, greed, defense, and attack. Some of the ego's strategies are extremely clever, yet they never truly solve any of its problems, simply because the ego itself is the problem.
When egos come together, whether in personal relationships or in organizations or institutions, "bad" things happen sooner or later: drama of one kind or another, in the form of conflict, problems, power struggles, emotional or physical violence, and so on. This includes collective egos such as war, genocide, and exploitation - all due to mass unconsciousness. Furthermore, many types of illnesses are caused by the ego's continuous resistance, which creates restrictions and blockages in the flow of energy through the body. When you reconnect with Being and are no longer run by your mind, you cease to create those things. You do not create or participate in drama anymore.
Whenever two or more egos come together, drama of one kind or another ensues. But even if you live totally alone, you still create your own drama. When you feel sorry for yourself, that's drama. When you feel guilty or anxious, that's drama. When you let the past or future obscure the present, you are creating time, psychological time - the stuff out of which drama is made. Whenever you are not honoring the present moment by allowing it to be, you are creating drama. pp. 150-151
When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life. Nobody can even have an argument with you, no matter how hard he or she tries. You cannot have an argument with a fully conscious person. An argument implies identification with your mind and a mental position. The result is that the polar opposites become mutually energized. These are the mechanics of unconsciousness. You can still make your point clearly and firmly, but there will be no reactive force behind it, no defense or attack. So it won't turn into drama. p. 151
Negativity is totally unnatural. It is psychic pollutant, and there is a deep link between the poisoning and destruction of nature and the vast negativity that has accumulated in the collective human psyche. No other life form on the planet knows negativity, only humans, just as no other life form violates and poisons the Earth that sustains it. Have you ever seen an unhappy flower or a stressed oak tree? Have you come across a depressed dolphin, a frog that has a problem with self-esteem, a cat that cannot relax, or a bird that carries hatred and resentment? The only animals that may occasionally experience something akin to negativity or show signs of neurotic behavior are those that live in close contact with humans and so link into the human mind and its insanity. p. 157
The world as it appears to us now is, as I said, largely a reflection of the egoic mind. Fear being an unavoidable consequence of egoic delusion, it is a world dominated by fear. Just as the images in a dream are symbols of inner states and feelings, so our collective reality is largely a symbolic expression of fear and of the heavy layers of negativity that have accumulated in the collective human psyche. We are not separate from our world, so when the majority of humans become free of egoic delusion, the inner change will affect all of creation. You will literally inhabit a new world. It is a shift in planetary consciousness. The strange Buddhist saying that every tree and every blade of grass will eventually become enlightened points to the same truth. According to St. Paul, the whole of creation is waiting for humans to become enlightened. That is how I interpret his saying that "The created universe is waiting with eager expectation for God's sons to be revealed." St. Paul goes on to say that all of creation will become redeemed through this: "Up to the present... the whole created universe in all its parts groans as if in pangs of childbirth." p 166
It is only at this point that you begin to make a real contribution toward bringing about a better world, toward creating a different order of reality. It is only at this point that you are able to feel true compassion and to help others at the level of cause. Only those who have transcended the world can bring about a better world...
Your peace is so vast and deep that anything that is not peace disappears into it as if it had never existed. This breaks the karmic cycle of action and reaction. Animals, trees, flowers will feel your peace and respond to it. You teach through being, through demonstrating the peace of God. You become the "light of the world," an emanation of pure consciousness, and so you eliminate suffering on the level of cause. You eliminate unconsciousness from the world. p. 167
All evils are the effect of unconsciousness. You can alleviate the effects of unconsciousness, but you cannot eliminate them unless you eliminate their cause. True change happens within, not without.
If you feel called upon to alleviate suffering in the world, that is a very noble thing to do, but remember not to focus exclusively on the outer; otherwise, you will encounter frustration and despair. Without profound change in human consciousness, the world's suffering is a bottomless pit. So don't let your compassion become one-sided. Empathy with someone else's pain or lack and a desire to help need to be balanced with a deeper realization of the eternal nature of all life and the ultimate illusion of all pain. Then let your peace flow into whatever you do and you will be working on the levels of effect and cause simultaneously.
This applies if you are supporting a movement designed to stop deeply unconscious humans from destroying themselves, each other, and the planet, or from continuing to inflict dreadful suffering on other sentient beings. Remember: Just as you cannot fight the darkness, so you cannot fight unconsciousness. If you try to do so, the polar opposites will become strengthened and more deeply entrenched. You will become identified with one of the polarities, you will create an "enemy," and so be drawn into unconsciousness yourself. Raise awareness by disseminating information, or at the most, practice passive resistance. But make sure that you carry no resistance within, no hatred, no negativity. "Love your enemies," said Jesus, which of course, means "have no enemies."
Once you get involved in working on the level of effect, it is all too easy to lose yourself in it. Stay alert and very, very present. The casual level needs to remain your primary focus, the teaching of enlightenment your main purpose, and peace your most precious gift to the world. pp. 168-169
You don't need to accept an undesirable or unpleasant life situation. Nor do you need to deceive yourself and say that there is nothing wrong with being stuck in the mud. No. You recognize fully that you want to get out of it. You then narrow your attention down to the present moment without mentally labeling it in any way. This means that there is no judgment of the Now. Therefore there is no resistance, no emotional negativity. You accept the "ism" of this moment. Then you take action and do all that you can to get out of the mud. Such action I call positive action. It is far more effective than negative action, which arises out of anger, despair, or frustration. Until you achieve the desired result, you continue to practice surrender by refraining from labeling the Now. p 172
Non-surrender hardens your psychological form, the shell of the ego, and so creates a strong sense of separateness. The world around you and people in particular come to be perceived as threatening. The unconscious compulsion to destroy others through judgment arises, as does the need to compete and dominate. Even nature becomes your enemy and your perceptions and interpretations are governed by fear. The mental disease that we all paranoia is only a slightly more acute form of this normal but dysfunctional state of consciousness. pp. 172-173
In the state of surrender, you see very clearly what needs to be done, and you take action, doing one thing at a time and focusing on one thing at a time...
If your life situation is unsatisfactory or unpleasant, separate out this instant and surrender to what is. That's the flashlight cutting through the fog. Your state of consciousness then ceases to be controlled by external conditions. You are no longer coming from reaction and resistance.
Then look at the specifics of the situation. Ask yourself, "Is there anything I can do to change the situation, improve it, or remove myself from it?" If so, you take appropriate action. Focus not on the 100 things that you will or may have to do at some future time but on the one thing that you can do now. This doesn't mean you should not do any planning. pp. 174-175
Do not confuse surrender with an attitude of "I can't be bothered anymore" or "I just don't care anymore." If you look at it closely, you will find that such an attitude is tainted with negativity in the form of hidden resentment and so is not surrender at all but masked resistance. As you surrender, direct your attention inward to check if there is any trace of resistance left inside you. Be very alert when you do so; otherwise, a pocket of resistance may continue to hide in some dark corner in the form of a thought or an unacknowledged emotion. p. 175
...the energy that you emanate and which then runs your life is of a much higher vibrational frequency than the mind energy that still runs our world - the energy that created the existing social, political, and economic structures of our civilization, and which also continuously perpetuates itself through our education systems and media. Through surrender, spiritual energy comes into the world. It creates no suffering for yourself, for other humans, or any other life form on the planet. Unlike mind energy, it does not pollute the earth, and it is not subject to the law of polarities, which dictates that nothing can exist without its opposite, that there can be no good without bad. Those who run on mind energy, which is still the vast majority of the Earth's population, remain unaware of the existence of spiritual energy. It belongs to a different order of reality and will create a different world when a sufficient number of humans enter the surrendered state and so become totally free of negativity.If the EArth is to survive, this will be the energy of those who inhabit it. pp 176-177
They are cut off from Being, so they unconsciously attempt to get energy and power from you. It is true that only an unconscious person will try to manipulate others, but it is equally true that only an unconscious person can be used and manipulated. If you resist or fight unconscious behavior in others, you become unconscious yourself. But surrender doesn't mean that you allow yourself to be used by unconscious people. Not at all. p. 177
The ego believes that in your resistance lies your strength, whereas in truth resistance cuts you off from Being, the only place of true power. Resistance is weakness and fear masquerading as strength. What the ego sees as weakness is your Being in its purity, innocence, and power. What it sees as strength is weakness. So the ego exists in a continuous resistance-mode and plays counterfeit roles to cover up your "weakness," which in truth is your power.
In surrender, you no longer need ego defenses and false masks. You become very simple, very real. "That's dangerous," says the ego. "You'll get hurt. You'll become vulnerable." What the ego doesn't know, of course, is that only through the letting go of resistance, through becoming "vulnerable," can you discover your true and essential invulnerability. p 180
Some Quotes from Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now: (1999)
When consciousness frees itself from its identification with physical and mental forms, it becomes what we call pure or enlightened consciousness or presence. This has already happened in a few individuals, and it seemed destined to happen on a much larger scale, although there is no absolute guarantee that it will happen. Most humans are still in the grip of the egoic mode of consciousness: identified with their mind and run by their mind. If they do not free themselves from their mind in time, they will be destroyed by it. They will experience increasing confusion, conflict, violence, illness, despair, madness. Egoic mind has become like a sinking ship. If you don't get off, you will go down with it. The collective egoic mind is the most dangerous insane and destructive entity ever to inhabit this planet. p. 84
The 'second coming' of Christ is a transformation of human consciousness, a shift from time to presence, from thinking to pure consciousness, not the arrival of some man or woman. If 'Christ' were to return tomorrow in some externalized form, what could he or she possibly say to you other than this: 'I am the Truth. I am divine presence. I am eternal life. I am within you. I am here. I am Now.'
Never personalize Christ. Don't make Christ into a form identity. Avatars, divine mothers, enlightened masters, the very few that are real, are not special as persons. Without a false self to uphold, defend, and feed, they are more simple, more ordinary than the ordinary man or woman. Anyone with a strong ego would regard them as insignificant or, more likely, not see them at all.
If you are drawn to an enlightened teacher, it is because there is already enough presence in you to recognize presence in another. There were many people who did not recognize Jesus or the Buddha, as there are and always have been many people who are drawn to false teachers. Egos are drawn to bigger egos. Darkness cannot recognize light. Only light can recognize light. So don't believe that the light is outside you or that it can only come through one particular form. If only your master is an incarnation of God, then what are you: Any kind of exclusivity is identification with form, and identification with form means ego, no matter how well disguised. pp 86-87
True salvation is fulfillment, peace, life in all its fullness. It is to be who you are, to feel within you the good that has no opposite, the joy of Being that depends on nothing outside itself. It is felt not as a passing experience but as an abiding presence. In theistic language, it is to "know God" - not as something outside you but as your own innermost essence. True salvation is to know yourself as an inseparable part of the timeless and formless One Life from which all that exists derives its being.
True salvation is a state of freedom - from fear, from suffering, from a perceived lack and insufficiency and therefore from all wanting, needing, grasping, and clinging. It is freedom from compulsive thinking, from negativity, and above all from past and future as a psychological need. Your mind is telling you that you cannot get there from here. Something needs to happen or you need to become this or that before you can be free and fulfilled. It is saying, in fact, that you need time - that you need to find, sort out, do, achieve, acquire, become, or understand something before you can be free and complete. You see time as the means to salvation, whereas in truth it is the greatest obstacle to salvation. You think you can't get there from where and who you are at this moment because you are not yet complete or good enough, but the truth is that here and now is the only point from where you can get there. You "get" there by realizing that you are there already. You find God the moment you realize that you don't need to seek God. So there is no only way to salvation: Any condition can be used, but no particular condition is needed. However, there is only one point of access: the Now. There can be no salvation away from this moment. You are lonely without a partner? Enter the Now from there. You are in a relationship? Enter the Now from there.
There is nothing you can ever do or attain that will get you closer to salvation than it is at this moment. This may be hard to grasp for a mind accustomed to thinking that everything worthwhile is in the future. Nor can anything that you ever did or that was done to you in the past prevent you from saying yes to what is and taking your attention deeply into the Now. You cannot do this in the future. You do it now or not at all. pp. 122-123
As the egoic mode of consciousness and all the social, political, and economic structures that it created enter the final stage of collapse, the relationships between men and women reflect the deep state of crisis in which humanity now finds itself. As humans have become increasingly identified with their mind, most relationships are not rooted in Being and so turn into a source of pain and become dominated by problems and conflict. p. 130
Humanity is under great pressure to evolve because it is our only chance of survival as a race. This will affect every aspect of your life and close relationships in particular. Never before have relationships been as problematic and conflict ridden as they are now. As you may have noticed, they are not here to make you happy or fulfilled. If you continue to pursue the goal of salvation through a relationship, you will be disillusioned again and again. But if you accept that the relationship is here to make you conscious instead of happy, then the relationship will offer you salvation, and you will be aligning yourself with the higher consciousness that wants to be born into this world. For those who hold onto the old patterns, there will be increasing pain, violence, confusion, and madness. p. 132
The moment you start to argue, you have identified with a mental position and are now defending not only that position but also your sense of self. The ego is in charge. You have become unconscious. At times it may be appropriate to point out certain aspects of your partner's behavior. If you are very alert, very present, you can do so without ego involvement - without blaming, accusing, or making the other wrong. p. 133
To relinquish judgement does not mean that you do not recognize dysfunction and unconsciousness when you see it. It means "being the knowing" rather than "being the action" and the judge. You will then either be totally free of reaction or you may react and still be the knowing, the space in which the reaction is watched and allowed to be. Instead of fighting the darkness, you bring in the light. Instead of reacting to delusion, you see the delusion yet at the same time look through it. Being the knowing creates a clear space of loving presence that allows all things and all people to be as they are. No greater catalyst for transformation exists. If you practice this, your partner cannot stay with you and remain unconscious. p. 133
Do you truly know what is positive and negative? Do you have the total picture? There have been many people for whom limitation, failure, loss, illness, or pain in whatever form turned out to be their greatest teacher. It taught them to let go of false self-images and superficial ego-dictated goals and desires. It gave them depth, humility, and compassion. It made them more real. p. 149
Ego is the unobserved mind that runs your life when you are not present as the witnessing consciousness, the watcher. The ego perceives itself as a separate fragment in a hostile universe, with no real inner connection to any other being, surrounded by other egos which it either sees as a potential threat or which it will attempt to use for its own ends. The basic ego patterns are designed to combat its own deep-seated fear and sense of lack. They are resistance, control, power, greed, defense, and attack. Some of the ego's strategies are extremely clever, yet they never truly solve any of its problems, simply because the ego itself is the problem.
When egos come together, whether in personal relationships or in organizations or institutions, "bad" things happen sooner or later: drama of one kind or another, in the form of conflict, problems, power struggles, emotional or physical violence, and so on. This includes collective egos such as war, genocide, and exploitation - all due to mass unconsciousness. Furthermore, many types of illnesses are caused by the ego's continuous resistance, which creates restrictions and blockages in the flow of energy through the body. When you reconnect with Being and are no longer run by your mind, you cease to create those things. You do not create or participate in drama anymore.
Whenever two or more egos come together, drama of one kind or another ensues. But even if you live totally alone, you still create your own drama. When you feel sorry for yourself, that's drama. When you feel guilty or anxious, that's drama. When you let the past or future obscure the present, you are creating time, psychological time - the stuff out of which drama is made. Whenever you are not honoring the present moment by allowing it to be, you are creating drama. pp. 150-151
When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life. Nobody can even have an argument with you, no matter how hard he or she tries. You cannot have an argument with a fully conscious person. An argument implies identification with your mind and a mental position. The result is that the polar opposites become mutually energized. These are the mechanics of unconsciousness. You can still make your point clearly and firmly, but there will be no reactive force behind it, no defense or attack. So it won't turn into drama. p. 151
Negativity is totally unnatural. It is psychic pollutant, and there is a deep link between the poisoning and destruction of nature and the vast negativity that has accumulated in the collective human psyche. No other life form on the planet knows negativity, only humans, just as no other life form violates and poisons the Earth that sustains it. Have you ever seen an unhappy flower or a stressed oak tree? Have you come across a depressed dolphin, a frog that has a problem with self-esteem, a cat that cannot relax, or a bird that carries hatred and resentment? The only animals that may occasionally experience something akin to negativity or show signs of neurotic behavior are those that live in close contact with humans and so link into the human mind and its insanity. p. 157
The world as it appears to us now is, as I said, largely a reflection of the egoic mind. Fear being an unavoidable consequence of egoic delusion, it is a world dominated by fear. Just as the images in a dream are symbols of inner states and feelings, so our collective reality is largely a symbolic expression of fear and of the heavy layers of negativity that have accumulated in the collective human psyche. We are not separate from our world, so when the majority of humans become free of egoic delusion, the inner change will affect all of creation. You will literally inhabit a new world. It is a shift in planetary consciousness. The strange Buddhist saying that every tree and every blade of grass will eventually become enlightened points to the same truth. According to St. Paul, the whole of creation is waiting for humans to become enlightened. That is how I interpret his saying that "The created universe is waiting with eager expectation for God's sons to be revealed." St. Paul goes on to say that all of creation will become redeemed through this: "Up to the present... the whole created universe in all its parts groans as if in pangs of childbirth." p 166
It is only at this point that you begin to make a real contribution toward bringing about a better world, toward creating a different order of reality. It is only at this point that you are able to feel true compassion and to help others at the level of cause. Only those who have transcended the world can bring about a better world...
Your peace is so vast and deep that anything that is not peace disappears into it as if it had never existed. This breaks the karmic cycle of action and reaction. Animals, trees, flowers will feel your peace and respond to it. You teach through being, through demonstrating the peace of God. You become the "light of the world," an emanation of pure consciousness, and so you eliminate suffering on the level of cause. You eliminate unconsciousness from the world. p. 167
All evils are the effect of unconsciousness. You can alleviate the effects of unconsciousness, but you cannot eliminate them unless you eliminate their cause. True change happens within, not without.
If you feel called upon to alleviate suffering in the world, that is a very noble thing to do, but remember not to focus exclusively on the outer; otherwise, you will encounter frustration and despair. Without profound change in human consciousness, the world's suffering is a bottomless pit. So don't let your compassion become one-sided. Empathy with someone else's pain or lack and a desire to help need to be balanced with a deeper realization of the eternal nature of all life and the ultimate illusion of all pain. Then let your peace flow into whatever you do and you will be working on the levels of effect and cause simultaneously.
This applies if you are supporting a movement designed to stop deeply unconscious humans from destroying themselves, each other, and the planet, or from continuing to inflict dreadful suffering on other sentient beings. Remember: Just as you cannot fight the darkness, so you cannot fight unconsciousness. If you try to do so, the polar opposites will become strengthened and more deeply entrenched. You will become identified with one of the polarities, you will create an "enemy," and so be drawn into unconsciousness yourself. Raise awareness by disseminating information, or at the most, practice passive resistance. But make sure that you carry no resistance within, no hatred, no negativity. "Love your enemies," said Jesus, which of course, means "have no enemies."
Once you get involved in working on the level of effect, it is all too easy to lose yourself in it. Stay alert and very, very present. The casual level needs to remain your primary focus, the teaching of enlightenment your main purpose, and peace your most precious gift to the world. pp. 168-169
You don't need to accept an undesirable or unpleasant life situation. Nor do you need to deceive yourself and say that there is nothing wrong with being stuck in the mud. No. You recognize fully that you want to get out of it. You then narrow your attention down to the present moment without mentally labeling it in any way. This means that there is no judgment of the Now. Therefore there is no resistance, no emotional negativity. You accept the "ism" of this moment.

Is EMF radiation the cigarette of the 21st century?
EMF radiation the cigarette of the 21st century?

BARCELONA, Spain — In arguing for widespread adoption of its new My Wi-Guard technology to protect mobile phone users from the dangers of electro-magnetic field (EMF) radiation, James Lawler, CEO of EMX Corp. and Exradia Ltd. told the 3GSM World Congress that 40 percent of consumers believe this form of radiation might compromise their health.
Lawler acknowledged that research on the effects of EMF radiation remains controversial, but cited a series of warnings from scientific groups that ignoring the proven physiological alterations caused by EMF could harm consumers and cripple the electronics industry. EMF, he said, "could be the cigarette of the 21st century."
Exradia's technology, confirmed as effective in neutralizing EMF radiation by some 30 peer-reviewed studies in the United States and Europe, responds to the fact that pulsed electromagnetic energy generated by electronic devices causes stress to the human body. Medical research has indicated that pulsed EMF radiation increases breaks in DNA sequences and inhibits the body's ability to repair those breaks—although there is disagreement over whether such DNA breaks represent a genuine long-term danger.
Exradia's My Wi-Guard, which is already offered as an option in Nokia's 6230i handset, essentially jams the pulsed EMF signals at the sources, overlaying them with the harmless random electromagnetic "noise" that occurs in nature.
Questioned about the necessity of adding another chip and more cost to handsets, Lawler said that taking the precaution, to "protect people" is worth the extra cost and effort, especially if it prevents the sort of liability catastrophe that the construction industry suffered over asbestos. "I think the evidence is there. I think some people in the industry have an ostrich strategy," he said. "This is one of the learning points we should learn from other industries. Why wait?"
In promoting the inclusion of My Wi-Guard in devices that range from mobile phones to PC's, Wi-Fi laptops and Bluetooth headsets, Lawler conjured the image of "data clouds" of "eSmog" hanging over offices and retail business. He cited the Great Smog in London, of 1952, in which 12,000 people died of respiratory failure and resulted in the U.K. government's passage of a Clean Air Act of 1956.
He quoted a World Health Organization report issued last year that read, in part, "Electromagnetic fields of all frequencies represent one of the most common and fastest growing environmental influences, about which anxiety and speculation are spreading."
Perhaps most chillingly, Lawler cited a 2006 U.S. study, by the Cleveland Clinic that recorded a 25 percent reduction in sperm count among men who used a mobile phone for more than four hours a day. "The men with highest usage," noted the study, "had a 50 percent drop in the number of properly formed sperm."
Lawler also quoted legal experts who warned that, without taking some action, industries whose products generate EMF radiation could face "a potential liability disaster."
Perhaps Lawler's strongest point, however, was consumer anxiety. With 40 percent of possible cell phone users concerned about the health effects of EMF radiation on themselves and their children, the industry should step forward to eliminate these concerns. A technology that scrambles EMF pulses is "the digital seatbelt and the digital airbag of the 21st century," said Lawler.
Lawler said that My Wi-Guard can be built into a handset, as it is in the Nokia 6230i, or installed as a chip in a battery, "for an incremental cost increase equal to the price of a pack of cigarettes." A My Wi-Guard-equipped battery prices out, he said at 34.99 British pounds (about $68).
He added that Exradia has also developed another product called Wi-Space, a "coil" that can be installed above the ceiling or beneath the floor to dispels the entire EMF "data cloud" in an electronics-intensive workspace. For about 2,500 square feet of space, said Paul Yates, Exradia director of corporate solutions, Wi-Space would cost about 5,000 pounds ($9,735).
