The energy efficient light bulbs in your house are affecting yours and your neighbour’s health. THIS IS A MUST SEE. Dirty Electricity Elevates Blood Sugar Among Electrically Sensitive Diabetics and May Explain Brittle Diabetes: www.magdahavas.com THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT THERE IS NO BRAND OR PRODUCT ADVERTISED HERE I AM AN INDIVIDUAL SHARING THIS INFORMATION FOR THE BETTER GOOD! *Study warns of green light bulb ‘Electrosmog’* www.swissinfo.ch Swiss health officials are recommending that people stay at least 30 centimetres away from energy-saving light bulbs, over electrosmog concerns. A study has measured the electric fields emitted from these lamps and concluded that a certain distance is needed to keep well under international limits. Low- and medium-frequency magnetic and electric fields can induce electric currents in the body which, above a certain frequency, can stimulate the nerves and muscles. The Swiss study, undertaken for the federal offices of health and energy, found that medium-frequency electric fields were primarily responsible for these currents. Depending on the lamp, current field densities in the immediate vicinity reach 10-55 per cent of the exposure limit. As this weakens with distance, health officials have recommended as a personal precaution to maintain a gap of at least 30 centimetres, for example from a desk lamp that is being used for a long time. Switzerland started to phase out the least efficient categories of light bulbs at the …
