Question 1

can electromagnetic fields (not sure of correct term) generated by power company smart meters on homes cause cancer or other illness?

Accepted Answer

No: A one time it was felt that homes built in viscinity of High voltage tension lines brought in by overhead power cables might induce tumors in a way that it was thought that cell phones could induce brain tumors.  These were speculative and have not been confirmed.

Question 2

if you come across an electromagnetic field with very high radiation can you get instant dna damage if you stay there for 5 min and is very close to the powerlines ?

Accepted Answer

: Portions of the electromagnetic spectrum do have emissions that may pose a risk of cancer. The spectrum ranges from extremely low-frequency radiation, such as that generated by overhead power lines, to higher-frequency radiation, such as the energy emitted by X-rays and gamma rays.

Question 3

does a very high voltage power line or electromagnetic field have ionizing radiation ? im talking about the strong transmission towers that have high radiation. and does it cause immediate dna damage ?

Accepted Answer

: Portions of the electromagnetic spectrum do have emissions that may pose a risk of cancer. The spectrum ranges from extremely low-frequency radiation, such as that generated by overhead power lines, to higher-frequency radiation, such as the energy emitted by X-rays and gamma rays.

Question 4

will mind control eventually be possible? lets say someone gets a brain injury, ive read this might amplify the electromagnetic field. i also read that brain produces radio waves, could radio waves be used to send signals to the brain and receive?

Accepted Answer

: Interesting concept, and it seems that millions of people have been controlled by totalitarian governments for eons.  The terms "brainwashing" and indoctrination seem relevant.  Movies such as the Manchurian Candidate, and TV shows like Mission Impossible deal with "mind control".  (Might look at COVID-19 pandemic reactions, also!)

Question 5

how accurate are quantum electromagnetic resonance health analyser?

Accepted Answer

Impossible to know: Many extraordinary claims are made for this device (see http://www.essentials-health.com/analyzer/qmr_analyzer.htm).
The manufacturers claim it's up to 85% accurate. 
However, I'm unaware of any objective studies showing if it's accurate. It would be great if one could diagnose so many things inexpensively &amp; non-invasively &amp; perhaps one day it will be possible but I know of no evidence this works!

Question 6

are ultrasonic, electromagnetic pest repellants safe to be used in a house with kids? can there be any health effects if they are used long term?

Accepted Answer

Don't see a problem: The frequencies emitted by or fields used by such products are safe around humans at any age.

Question 7

do electromagnetic waves affect your health?

Accepted Answer

There has: been controversy for many years about the health effects of EMR or electomagnetic radiation.....the results are really NOT "all in" but it appears that intense EMR such as that experienced by electric high power line workers may have some long term effects...perhaps blood disorders of various kinds. In terms of the usual and ordinary exposure we all have ..probably NOT any health ..my opinion only

Question 8

how can i know if i am allergic to electromagnetic waves! please help!?

Accepted Answer

Relax: Allergic reactions are triggered by proteins such as those found in foods, venom (bees and yellow jackets), pollens, molds, dust mite, latex, medications, etc.  Electromagnetic waves do not contain proteins so they will not trigger an allergic reaction.

Question 9

does a pacemaker use electromagnetic waves?

Accepted Answer

It uses electricity: It uses electricity from a battery.

Question 10

1-is it true that electromagnetic radiation , from computers n mobile phones are bad for you,  ?
2-is it true that computers emit ozone which is toxic

Accepted Answer

Ozone: I use ozone daily in my office. High voltage can make ozone.  Lungs and eyes are less tolerant of ozone than other tissues. Do u smell it?  However it may be improving your health.  Ozone is used in europe subways and schools to reduce bacteria and virus in air.  Ozone is very reactive and does not last long in air.  I believe that if the amount was high enough to cause you harm you'd know it.
