Do Extra Low Frequency emissions affect fruit flies?
Is There a Problem?
We have all heard the validated reports that on one hand describe the
negative effects ELFs (Extra Low Frequencies) have on our health. Anyone who sits in front
of a computer screen can feel the draining effects of these devices. Interestingly enough,
for every report that proves our health is being affected by ELFs; theres another
report that disclaims that ELFs have any negative influence.
It doesnt matter that in a preliminary report, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), stated that ELFs "are a probable human carcinogen."
Why? Because corporate America could never admit to the problem without being sued by
every man and woman who claimed to have developed cancer while working in front of a
computer.
The best we can do is try and find a way to protect ourselves from ELFs.
One way is to move into a house without AC electricity; somewhere in the unspoiled
mountains. This of course is not practical. So, we decided to do a study on the effects
electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have on our friend the fruit fly. It is our intention to
verify the results and seek a solution.
Why Fruit Flies?
Fruit flies have been vital to the study and understanding of genetics
by scientists throughout the world. Under the right conditions, it takes only 8-10 days
for an egg to develop into a mature adult. This allows for many generations to be studied
in a relativity short period of time.
Why a Fly Lab?
Imagine yourself as a scientist trying to discover the validity of
different companies claiming to be able to protect us from the harmful effects of EMFs, or
more specifically, the effects of ELFs. What better way to study the effects than with
fruit flies? They reproduce quickly. They quickly display genetic defects when their
environment becomes toxic Fruit flies are a perfect and acceptable subject for ELF
experiments. The FlyLab is a biological experiment geared towards the study of ELFs'
effect on fruit flies.
Fruit Fly Facts
Size:
The
adult flies are very small insects about 1/8-inch long (3mm)
Color:
Body
Color is usually tan.
Description:
Fruit
flies are weak fliers. The thorax is tan and the abdomen is gray underneath and black on
top. A feathery bristle is on the antenna, and a distinguishing feature is their red eyes.
Habitat:
At
the end of the summer season, homeowners often encounter fruit flies in and about their
kitchens and near garbage storage areas. They are generally found hovering around decaying
vegetation and overripe fruit. These pesky insects are often found in the kitchen,
especially when vegetable or fruit materials are present after major home canning efforts.
Life Cycle:
Female
fruit flies lay their eggs on the surface of rotting fruit. These eggs hatch into larvae,
which molt twice before becoming full-grown. Fruit fly larvae feed on the yeast organisms
and fungi growing in the fruit and vegetable materials, and through their feeding efforts,
they soon turn their food into a semi-liquid mess. When the full-grown larvae are ready to
pupate, they leave the rotten fruit for drier areas, usually to the sides of the garbage
can. The time required to complete one life cycle is mainly dependent on the temperature
of the growth medium and surrounding air. At 64 degrees Fahrenheit, it takes 18-20 days
for growth from the egg stage to adulthood, while at 77 degrees Fahrenheit, only 8-10 days
are required to complete the stages of development.
Control Study:
First things first: We acquired our fruit flies from a reputable organic
fruit dealer. We set up an open-air, screen-covered test site. The temperature was
regulated using a heating pad placed under the test unit. We maintained temperatures
between 72 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The larva used in the control was grown on an
organic peach. We continued introducing organic pesticide-free fruit every ten days. Our
study showed an increasing density in the fly population by the 13th day. We
continued to observe normal propagation for additional 47 days making our entire control
study 60 days long.
We then set up two different test sights using the same size and
material test fixtures, maintained a constant temperature between 72 and 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, and using the adult population from our test group, we introduced fertile
peaches and adults into both sites. In order to truly test the effects of EMF on the fly
population and propagation, we introduced a common VDT (cathode ray tube). Each site
received identical VDTs, and they were placed less than an inch away from the screen in
both sites. The VDTs were then turned on and left on, broadcasting a strong EMF field
verified with a Gauss meter.
Dr. Gabriel Cousens is an expert in ELF testing. Since he has tested
dozens of devices, and his integrity is impeccable, we chose to test the product he
reports as being far the best tool available. According to Dr. Cousens, Tachyonized Disks
are simple to use, inexpensive and 100% effective. A company called Advanced Tachyon
Technologies in Santa Rosa, CA manufactures them. As a side note, Dr. Cousens does not
have any monetary involvement with the manufacturer, other than he supplies Tachyonized
products to many of his clients.
We flipped a coin to decide which site would receive these
Tachyonized Silica Disks. We felt that by testing both sites against the control
study, we could verify if there were any effects from the ELFs of our VDT and if the
Tachyon Disks would have any beneficial results. We named the sites Alpha and Beta and
installed the disks in the Beta test site.
We acquired the disks from Advanced Tachyon Technologies and installed
them over the circuit breakers of the entire Beta facility. At this point, I must admit
that I personally failed to see the connection between these silvery four-inch disks
hanging in our fuse box and the VDT some 80 feet away.
Alpha Study (Non-Tachyon mediated computer terminal screen)
The fruit flies seemed to propagate normally for the first three
generations. Then about day 36 we noticed many new adults appearing with deformities, and
the population was smaller. In the next two sets of new adults, we saw fewer normal flies
and a drastically reduced population. By day 52 the entire experiment ended. All the flies
had either stopped propagating or mutated past propagation. Our conclusion was that the
effects of the ELFs caused the mutation and within five generations the end of the fly
population. This data supports a report by Kaiser Permanente that claimed pregnant women
who spent more than six hours per day in front of a computer screen had twice the
frequency of miscarriages. Listed below are some of the deformities observed.
