Can we conceive our life without electricity? Imagine a total blackout of power at nine o'clock at night in a large city in the middle of winter. Total darkness! And in addition all electrical and electronic devices stop working. No television, no kitchen, no radiator, no heating, no fridge, no freezer ...
Well, don't panic, the light will return from one moment to another. Let's be patient. Are there candles? Go, yes! In a kitchen drawer. We groped. Plop! I have found the door. Oh! I have broken a cup. Here are the candles. And the matches, where will they be? Ah! Are here. Crack! What a beautiful light! So, what can we do now? Do we play cards? It is not worth it, surely the electricity will return from one moment to another.
Already, but what if he doesn't come back? What if the breakdown lasted for hours, days, weeks ... because the activity had to be interrupted due to the risk of an accident? And it is not a science fiction hypothesis. On August 14, 2003, 50 million Americans were without power for two days. At that time, the entire life of the city was disrupted. Nothing worked anymore, nothing was illuminated. The machines were inert, the factories closed, the shops were as gloomy as the graves ...
The human being has known electricity since time immemorial. The word comes from the Greek elektron, which was the name of yellow amber, a fossil resin that possesses electrostatic properties. Wool also has those electrostatic properties. It is well known that electric fish were already represented in Egyptian bas-reliefs, such as the trembling fish, a fish from the family of rays whose electric shocks were used by the Romans against migraine or gout in the first century of our era.
It was William Gilbert, doctor of the Queen of England (16th century) who gave the name of electricity to this strange form of energy. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin proved that lightning was an electrical phenomenon and invented the lightning rod. However, it is in the nineteenth century when the great scientists appear whose names are already linked to the concept of electricity, such as Ampère, Faraday or Volta. In 1799, Alessandro Volta invented the electric battery. In 1882, Edison created the first direct current electricity production factories. Lucien Gaulard invents the transformer and Nikola Tesla the alternating current machines. The latter will eventually be imposed because Tesla began collaborating with the industrial engineer George Westinghouse, who won the contract to install the entire electricity infrastructure in the United States. The enthusiasm for the "electricity fairy" soon spreads throughout the world. Nikola Tesla, a genius of electricity, created thousands of inventions, many of which were hidden.
The production of hydroelectric dams, built in rivers, and thermal power plants, which operated with coal, would not be enough to satisfy the craving for electricity in modern societies. People already had electrical appliances of all kinds that used this energy so practical, so magical and apparently did not pollute. The next step was the construction of nuclear power plants and the first one was inaugurated in Calder Hall (England) in 1955.
The United States and especially France took the witness and developed a “nuclearization” of electricity on a large scale, sinking the production of renewable energies, despite the success obtained by the first tidal installations, solar furnaces, aerothermal plants… And here we are, in our homes and in our work, totally surrounded by electrical appliances of all kinds of power, from the simple lamp to the kitchen mixer, through the vacuum or video game console, all connected with conductive cables that run from Invisible way the walls where they have been embedded.
He who believes only in what he sees is ignoring the essentials of the universe ...
You can't see anything, you can't hear anything, we hit a magic button and voila! The light is made and the force is with us! Is not it wonderful? For decades no one has worried about knowing if this ubiquitous electricity produced some kind of consequence on our health.
And of course it produces them. Very serious.
Since 1979 we know, after the work done by the American epidemiologist Nancy Wertheimer, that childhood leukemia affects twice as many children living near a transformer or a high voltage line.
It has also been shown that there is a worrying number of abortions in women who use electric blankets. We owe the empirical discovery of electromagnetic pollution to the Nice-born doctor Jean-Pierre Maschi in the 60s. He himself was "electrosensitive" and dedicated himself to studying the reactions of his organism. He managed to establish a radiation protection protocol for electrical appliances. He suspected that this radiation was behind one of the "diseases of civilization" that caused the greatest disability, multiple sclerosis. Long after Maschi, Canadian scientists got evidence of this phenomenon and little by little the reality of this type of contamination, which had not been detected until then, began its journey.
Jean-Pierre Lentin, with the title “Those waves that kill, those waves that heal” ( Ces ondes qui tuent, ces ondes qui soignent, from the Albin Michel publishing house), dedicated an entire book to study how electricity affects our body . Annie Lobé completed this work with "The Fairy Electricity: Fairy or Witch?" ( La fée électricité: fée ou sorcière?, From the publishing house Santé Publique). Annie Lobé is a talented investigative journalist who, since 2001, has conducted research on electromagnetic fields. His articles are highly valued and have been published in many newspapers.
The research carried out is methodical and meticulous, she is the one who studies on the ground, through very advanced devices, the reality and the power of radiation and provides in her book a multitude of useful references. The results of their study are chilling: they determine that all of us are submerged in an electromagnetic ocean that causes inevitable effects on the functioning of our cells. He also states that this pollution does not cease to increase, since the devices of which we surround ourselves unconsciously multiply in our immediate surroundings.
A new universal flood
Millions of people buy new electrical and electronic devices every day, whether for work, home, have fun or learn. For the purposes of all these machines we must add those of local transformers, electric cables, strips, extensions, etc. All emit more or less dangerous radiation that we do not protect ourselves from. And to this is also added, for some years, mobile phones and telephone antennas. It is a true electromagnetic flood!
Annie Lob explains: The electrical network uses alternating current with a frequency of 50 hertz. This means that electrons travel along the copper wires not in a straight line, but changing direction fifty times per second . He also cites a collective work that he has published under the direction of Louis Leprince-Ringuet: An electric charge in motion produces, in the surrounding space, a field capable of acting on another moving load. ( ) More specifically, an immovable electric charge produces an electric field. If it moves, it also produces a magnetic field (while still producing an electric field) . It follows that this electrical field is present in all electrical devices from the moment they are connected to the network, even if they are not in operation .
In addition, there are few material obstacles that can block the radiation of these fields. According to Claude Bossard, an electrician specializing in biocompatibility or bi the electric field is propagated in all construction materials: to a greater extent in metal, wood and its derivatives and lightweight plasterboard partitions; to a lesser extent (as long as they are attached to the ground) the brick, the stone, the concrete and the earth . Do not really believe that wood insulates it, as it always contains a certain dose of moisture. Only from direct electric current in motion, but not from electromagnetic fields.
Annie Lob clarifies this point: In the biological plane, the attraction of this magnetic field, of extremely low frequency, is powerful enough to modify the ion transfers that they are made through the membranes of living cells. When a living organism is within the field of magnetic attraction that has created the electric current when circulating in an apparatus, the magnetization phenomenon occurs in the free ions that, due to their movements of movement, are the ones that perform the vital functions .
We must not forget that each of our cells (in particular the cells of the nervous system and neurons) is an electrical transformer on a microscopic scale and our health depends on their functioning harmoniously. However, the powerful electromagnetic fields that man has spread around him can alter that balance. The only natural, natural, and insulating ones that exist against the magnetic fields are air and earth, that is, the distance in relation to the source of emission.
Protect yourself at home
It is clear from this evidence that the main precaution to be taken is to keep as far away as possible from the devices, not in operation, such as the plugs or the strips, from the cables and extensions. We must take special care of the dream, during which our cells regenerate.
To protect ourselves while we sleep, it is convenient to remove all electrical appliances from the bedrooms, especially televisions and computers. If you cannot do without the bedside lamp or alarm clock, place them so that they are not very close to the head (ideally one meter away). If there is a line of electricity that passes through the headboard of your bed - which is usually usual - separate the bed from the wall as much as you can (10, 15 20 cm).
Don't forget that the fields cross the walls. If on the other side of the headboard of your bed, in the adjoining room, there is a computer or a TV attached to the wall, even turned off, damage is assured. This is where the problem with the neighbors appears. If you have a good relationship with them, study the entire arrangement of the devices in the respective houses, in the interest of both parties. You have to get used to dispensing with less important devices. However, there are also two quite effective insulators, Plexiglas and hard plastic. If you place individual plastic tablecloths under electrical appliances (computers, televisions, DVD players, etc.), they will stop the spread of electromagnetic fields to the furniture that we touch continuously.
Wear house slippers with the plastic sole, which will isolate you from the ground and, consequently, from the power lines that circulate through the roof of the neighbor below. You can also cover the strips with small holes of hard plastic, especially if they have mini-transformers plugged in (for the phone, for example) that produce heat constantly. Finally, run your hands under tap water frequently, a gesture that manages to discharge static electricity that accumulates without knowing it.
