High tension wires and fatigue

[jessih]

I have been very fatigued since moving to a new area. There are a lot of high tension wires around us and I am wondering if the could be causing these symptoms. I didn't know what forum to ask this question in except a fatigue forum. Thanks. It's a shot in the dark but I am looking for reasons and these wires are the only thing that has changed in my life.

CHAPTER 6
POWER LINES
Living Beneath Power Transmission Towers
  
Powerful electromagnetic fields exist under overhead power lines. The cables carried on pylons across the countryside often have potentials of four hundred thousand volts or more. If you stand under such a line you will often be able to hear a rhythmic humming. In damp weather you can hear the crackling as some of the electricity discharges into the atmosphere.
        Under the more powerful lines the fields will light up a fluorescent tube when someone stands underneath the cables holding one end of the tube. ( Warning: This is a potentially dangerous trick, so you should not try it yourself!). At least one individual is on record who remembered enough school science to erect a cable strung between two poles under a power line near his home, connected the ends to his household supply and got free power until the authorities caught up with him and sued him for stealing electricity! You do not need physical connections to extract power from an electrical field.

        The person with the fluorescent tube standing under the power line also had electrical currents and voltages induced in his body. This happens because the blood and other body fluids conduct electricity and, as with any conductor in a moving electric field, a current will be produced in the body. You have seen how even the much lower voltages of mains cables at home will produce this phenomenon and you can demonstrate the effect using an earthed voltmeter in the way described in the last chapter. Obviously the effect will be much bigger directly under a pylon.

        You can alarmingly demonstrate this induction effect by parking a vehicle (the larger the better) under a power line' High static charges will build up m the metal body and because of the rubber tyres will only slowly be discharged to earth. A large spark will be produced if you reach out to touch the van.

        Despite these obvious anct measurable effects, the official position of the electric power companies has always been that, party tricks excepted, there is no possibility that even long-term exposure to high electromagnetic fields can have injurious effects on health.

        However, too many people who live in houses under or near power ipines complain of a variety of symptoms without apparent cause for such assurances to be accepted without question. Some feel perpetually lacking in energy. In worse cases, they may feel nauseous or dizzy. The long-term effects remain to be assessed, but when we remember the findings of Nancy Wertheimer there appears to be at least a possibility of a link with cancer and there is current litigation in both Britain and the USA against power transmission companies which, if successful, will result in enormous damages being paid to affected families.


Good luck

hey jessih
  I have heard NOTHING good about living around high tension wires.  Do not know medically if fatigue is a side affect, but would think that no one would admit to this being a problem.  You have to think that if someone came on a said, "Yes, fatigue along with immune system failure  and cancer are a side affect of living near and under high tension wires"' that their would be an immediate class action law suite..I wouldn't live anywhere near them.  I hope you find a solution and maybe move.

I will post today at the link you sent me  thanks and good luck   marty
