Dirty Electricity – What Are The Dangers? How To Use GS Filters To Render Your Home Safe

Posted by Lloyd on March 15, 2011 under Dirty electricity, Electromagnetic protection | 7 Comments to Read

About three years ago I attended a presentation on electrosensitivity organized in the UK.  I was already pretty savvy as to the dangers and consequences of cell phone radiation, having lived it firsthand.

After the presentation there were several people holding stands selling various EMF meters, detectors and shielding materials. It was here that I had my first encounter with the notion of dirty electricity (or dirty power).

Here are what some experts say about electromagnetic pollution:

“The greatest polluting element in the earth’s environment is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields. I consider that to be far greater on a global scale than warming… “

Robert O. Becker, M. D., -Author of The Body Electric(1985)

“The harmful biological effects of exposure to electrical pollution have been established in numerous studies conducted during the past 50 years.”

Dr. Martin Graham, -Emeritus Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, University of California.

What Is The GS Filter System?

I was once like most people, I thought that electricity was homogenous. I thought that you paid for your electricity supply (240 volts or 110 volt depending on what part of the world you live in) and you got electricity. End of story.

Well things are not quite as simple as that. Because there is also something called the quality of electricity. That’s to say two houses in the same street can have the same 110 volts (or 240 volts) running through their internal wiring system, from the same source but the quality of electricity can vary by multiples of 10 or even 100. This quality of electricity can be measured by using something called a Graham Stetzer meter or GS meter. Using a GS meter and installing a collection of GS filters, a GS Filter system, is the means by which your electricity can be rendered of good quality and safe.

Watch this short video by Magda Havas for an explanation of GS units:

What Does The GS Filter System Do?

A GS filter system is a means of transforming dirty electricity back into good quality power. It filters out electromagnetic pollution in the range 4 to 150 Khz (that which Russian research has shown to be the most dangerous) carried in your power supply.

The human body is an electrical being. All the cells, tissues and organs in your body communicate with each other via small electrical currents. Dirty electricity perturbs these communications which makes the body vulnerable to disease.

Studies show that there is a biological impact to electromagnetic pollution. Cell phone towers and cell phones produce one form of this pollution, but dirty electricity produces another. Just as deadly.

Dirty Electricity As Explained By Sam Milham

Sam Milham in his book “Dirty Electricity : Electrification and the diseases of civilization ”. defines dirty electricity as high frequency voltage transients on electrical wiring.

Dr Milham analyzed death records from electrified and rural areas in the early part of the 20th-century and compared them with statistics from areas where there was no electrification. He discovered a correlation between electrification and such diseases as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, suicide, neurodegenerative disease. He found that where electricity had been introduced the disease rates were much higher.

Interestingly he also found that the Amish community, who don’t have electricity, have lower rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes etc

Below is an audio with Dr Milham on the dirty electricity issue.

Transcript :

Dr Samuel Milham: “Dirty electricity is much more prevalent today because of the electrical appliances that we’ve got so fond of and depend on. In the Southern California middle school that I studied, there was a 21% increase per year (in dirty electricity) if you worked in the school. If you worked in a room that had a reading that was too high for the Graham/Stetzer meter to measure; that was above 2000 units, a teacher’s risk to cancer was increased by 26% per year, in a decade it is 26% times 10 higher, that’s a 260% increase. If you compare the teachers in this school to the California population they had 10 times the risk of melanoma and 11 times the risk of uterus cancer.

There is another school that we just started looking at where they’ve got 7 breast cancers in total out of the 70 teachers that have worked there in the last 20 years and again the cancers’ aggregate are over represented in the rooms that have very high dirty electricity levels. In this school, we’ve got a smoking gun; there is a cell tower about 20 feet from the classroom window from where most of the teachers with cancer taught.

Cell Towers and Dirty Electricity

The problem is not the Radio Frequency (RF), I measured that and it is fine. However, these cell towers like any other transmitter run on direct current (DC). The electrical guts in these towers are run by direct current (DC), which requires that the alternating current (AC) in the power supply is changed to DC. Now changing AC to DC generates dirty electricity, which is put back into the power supply lines. Therefore, the whole neighborhood is going to be dirty on the count of that tower being here and not just the school. When people start looking around in their neighborhoods at where the cell towers are located, they are going to find concentration of bad health and disease in the neighborhood. These towers are basically another dirty electricity story. I am not saying that the RF is good for you but in this school the RF is shooting right over their heads because the tower is high and the classroom base is about 20 feet from the base of the tower.

Dirty Electricity As A Universal Problem

I think that dirty electricity is a universal problem. I did measure one school in my neighborhood, here in Washington State, that was clean. I measured 45 rooms there and in no single room was the reading above 100 on the Stetzer scale. However, in this school that I am looking at just now, it an elementary school, the District Del Monte Elementary Palm Springs. There is not a single room below 100 and the average is like 1200 Stetzer units for the school.  The one we studied in Kansas had 700 units of dirty electricity and the proof that this is a universal problem is the California Teacher’s Association study. They studied incidents in the whole state in all their teachers and they showed that the same cancers had statistically significant excess incidence as we showed in these schools.

Schools are not the only place where you get this dirty electricity. I have always been amazed, I have been studying cancer for over 40 years, why do office workers have a higher cancer rates than people that work in places where they are exposed to carcinogens that we know about. Melanoma rates are much higher in indoor workers than outdoor workers. So it is not the sunshine that is doing it, I think it is this dirty electricity business.”

GS Filters – What I Have Learned

Having had a GS filter system installed in my home for several years and having observed the readings from my GS meter over a period of time and in different locations, I have noted the following:

1. Dirty electricity seems to be higher in urban areas than in rural areas
2. the more electrical appliances you have in your home the more your exposure, especially these devices; flat screen TVs, dimmer switches and CFLs
3. the level of dirty electricity fluctuates constantly

I think it could well be that many of the problems associated with cell phone towers and radiofrequency radiation are in fact, as Sam Milham suggests, due to the RF radiation been carried down the power lines.

Do You Need To Install A GS Filter System?

I would start by asking myself the following questions:

1. Do I live in an urban area
2. do I have a lots of electrical appliances in my home
3. do I live in proximity to a cell phone tower

If the answer is yes to the above three questions then it is quite likely that your dirty electricity levels will be high.

Is a GS Meter The Only Way Of Finding Out If I Have Dirty Electricity?

One quick and easy way you can get an idea at whether you have dirty electricity in your household wiring is to use an AM radio. Tune your radio to the white noise between the stations and move round your home holding it near your electrical sockets. If your radio gives extra hiss as you are doing this its an indication that there is dirty electricity.

With this method, at best this can only detect if you have dirty electricity. You can’t measure it. To be able to do anything meaningful you need to be able to measure your GS levels. And you need to be able to do it on a regular basis because they do fluctuate. With every new appliance you introduce into your home there is a risk that you are creating more dirty electricity.

If you want to deal with this problem effectively measuring your GS levels with a GS microsurge meter is your best solution. See the video below on how to use a GS meter:

Using this method, if you establish that your GS units are above 50 you can install GS filters to bring your exposure down to safe levels.

Interestingly this issue is considered so important in the Republic of Kazakhstan that the country introduced a law in 2003 legislating on the maximum permitted levels of GS units allowed in workplaces. GS filter systems are used commonly to ensure that the GS levels do not go beyond the maximum permitted level of 50 GS units.

Where Is The Best Place To Buy A GS Filter System?

Stetzerizer US offer good deals on this product. You can start by just buying the microsurge meter and then add filters individually or you can buy the GS filter system which is a pack with 20 filters and the meter.
