Case #3: Multiple Sclerosis and Power Quality
ОглавлениеA 40-year old female had severe symptoms of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). She was unable to walk without the help of a walker and had such terrible tremors that she was unable to feed or otherwise take care of herself. The power quality in her home was poor. The major source was a plasma TV.
Dirty electricity is defined as electricity flowing along electrical wires that deviates from the normal (clean) 60-Hz sine wave (Fig. 3) as measured by an oscilloscope. A microsurge meter provides a numeric value in GS (Graham-Stetzer) units for the change in voltage with change in time, (dv/dt). Values below 40 are ideal. Values above 2000 have been associated with cancers.9 Just as dirty water, dirty air, and contaminated food can make people ill, dirty electricity seems to have the same effect.
Figure 3. Electricity in North America is a pure 60-Hz sine wave (left figure). When it is contaminated with higher frequency transients and harmonic it resembles the curve on the right. The microsurges between the 2 and 100 kH range are harmful to human and animal health.
By installing specially tuned capacitors (or filters) into electrical outlets the dirty electricity in her home was reduced from 148-2000 to 27-36 GS units. After 6-weeks of living in a cleaner electromagnetic environment her symptoms improved considerably. While she still required a walker, the tremors in her hands subsided sufficiently to enable her to feed herself. In this example, poor power quality or dirty electricity was the environmental agent that was reduced resulting in significant improvements in MS symptoms with no changes in medication (Fig. 4). A video of the symptoms before and after the power quality was improved is available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdtIPb3Veuw. Similar results were obtained within a few days to several weeks with other MS patients, although not everyone tested improved.10

If these results are not sufficiently convincing that the electromagnetic environment can alter MS symptoms, then perhaps a MRI scan can provide additional evidence. A MRI scan of a male diagnosed with MS shows reduced sclerosis within the brain 7 years after he had GS filters installed in his home that reduced levels of dirty electricity (Fig 5).
Figure 5. MRI scan of brain of male diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Sclerotic regions in the brain appear as bright spots. The scan on left was taken in 2001 while patient was symptomatic. The scan on right was taken 7 years (2008) after GS filters were installed in the home and levels of dirty electricity were reduced. Note the absence/reduction of sclerotic lesions in 2008.
The effect of electromagnetic frequencies on MS needs further study as we do not know the mechanism involved. Nor do we know the role electrosmog plays in the initiation, development, progression, and remission of this illness, or how many people with MS are also electrosensitive.
