Recommended Reading: Dirty Electricity, Electrification and the Diseases of Civilization by Samuel Milham

"Dirty Electricity: Electrification and the Diseases of Civilization" by Samuel Milham is a fascinating dive into the health risks tied to electrical pollution—a term Milham uses to describe the electromagnetic fields generated by our modern electrical systems. As an experienced epidemiologist, Milham argues that these electromagnetic fields, found in homes, businesses, and factories, are linked to a variety of chronic health problems, including cancer and neurological disorders.

By examining historical data and connecting the dots between increased electrification and the rise of various diseases, he makes a strong case for reevaluating how we interact with electricity and the hidden dangers it may pose.

Milham's method blends scientific research, personal stories, and epidemiological insights, giving readers a comprehensive look at the potential threats of dirty electricity. He cites studies that highlight the link between electromagnetic exposure and health issues, suggesting that those living in highly electrified areas might face a higher risk of serious illnesses.

The book also critiques the current regulations and safety standards surrounding electromagnetic exposure, calling for greater awareness and action to address these risks. Milham's heartfelt appeal for acknowledgment of the health impacts of modern electrification emphasizes the urgent need for more research and policy changes to safeguard public health.

But Milham doesn't just stop at warning us about the dangers of dirty electricity; he also provides practical tips for reducing exposure. He suggests using filters to clean up electrical signals and advocates for improvements in our electrical infrastructure. The book encourages readers to educate themselves about their surroundings and take proactive measures to limit their exposure to electromagnetic fields.
