A Lethal Subtle Energy
Abstract
Throughout history epidemiology has often provided effective ways of limiting the spread of infectious diseases before their causes became known. Epidemiological studies from many countries now indicate a link between the 50 and 60-Hz electromagnetic fields (EMFs) which accompany electric power delivery and cancers of the blood, brain and breast. Subtle EMFs of only 0.3 to 2 milligaus (mG) are implicated. Significant EMFs occur in 60-Hz systems due to multiple grounding. Electric codes have stipulations against "objectionable" ground currents. Means of measuring, correcting and avoiding subtle but lethal EMFs are presented.

There are twO distribution systems in the USA and Canada, DELTA and WYE. DELTA is "the dosed figure produced by connecting three electrical coils or circuits successively end for end, esp. in a three-phase system. (Webster's Third New International Dictionary). The much more common WYE system connects one end of the three electrical coils to a common neutral line which is grounded extensively.
