When Thomas Edison began wiring New York City with a direct current electricity distribution system in the 1880s, he gave humankind the magic of electric light, heat, and power; in the process, though, he inadvertently opened a Pandora`s Box of unimaginable illness and death. `Dirty Electricity` tells the story of Dr. Samuel Milham, the scientist who first alerted the world about the frightening link between occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and human disease. Milham takes readers through his early years and education, following the twisting path that led to his discovery that most of the twentieth century diseases of civilization, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and suicide, are caused by electromagnetic field exposure.

Dr. Milham warns that because of the recent proliferation of radio frequency radiation from cell phones and towers, terrestrial antennas, Wi-Fi and Wi-max systems, broadband internet over power lines, and personal electronic equipment, we may be facing a looming epidemic of morbidity and mortality. In `Dirty Electricity,` he reveals the steps we must take, personally and as a society, to coexist with this marvelous but dangerous technology.

There is a high likelihood that most of the twentieth century `diseases of civilization,` including cardiovascular disease, malignant neoplasms (cancer), diabetes, and suicide, are not caused by lifestyle alone, but by certain physical aspects of electricity itself.`

This is a very important book by a very noble doctor and epidemiologist. As a health care provider for 20 years now, this book has put many of the pieces of the chronic disease puzzle together. After spending 10 years working about 50 meters from a cell phone mast, while living sandwiched between a cell tower 500 meters away and high voltage power lines 150 meters away, I have slowly felt the steady effects of this radiation. I have nearly eliminated my regular exposure to cell phone radiation and WiFi, but unfortunately, I am helpless at this stage against the biggest contributors to my over-exposure. However, this is set to change in the next two to three years, as I will be moving my home and office. With the help of his book, I am now also eager to take steps toward further reducing our possible exposure to dirty electricity, as well.

Dr. Milham has described many of his own studies which should be a warning to humanity, but unfortunately, most people are unwilling to believe that something that seems so inert and innocuous could be behind devastating diseases like cancer, heart disease, or diabetes. Over the years, I have to come to realize that most if not all diseases require several ingredients to lead to pathology and eventually disease. Since I began questioning my patients this year about their electromagnetic field exposure, I have seen a link with many problems and believe that this is a major, yet underestimated health hazard.

Sadly, society has dived in head-first into the convenience of the wireless age, without testing its safety, and we are already seeing the consequences, as neurobehavioural symptoms become the norm. One example is the fact that clinical depression is now the main cause of disability around the world. Over 800,000 people also commit suicide every year. A large percentage of my patients are using anti-depressants. Most people I come across are also not sleeping well. Most people also feel fatigued. In the UK, brain tumors are now the main cancers found in children. In the U.S., the rate of testicular and thyroid cancers in teenagers is rising. Infertility rates are also increasing. In fact, now more than ever, many young people don`t even feel the need to procreate, often deciding not to marry and not to have children. A study from about 20 years ago, alarmingly discovered that mice became infertile within 5 generations, after being chronically exposed to EMF`s in an antenna farm.

The studies are mounting and the truly independent scientists are trying to warn us. Sadly, very few are listening. Everyone should read this book, as this doctor has dedicated his life to removing a major cause of ill-health and disease. The rest is up to us.
