5. Thank you for your post. What we don't know can kill us and we don't know
a lot! I often wonder about what all the background electronic 'noise' is doing to all of us, but really worry about the kids. So small and so vulnerable to exposure to bad things while their bodies grow so fast. And now, just about everyone gets an ultra sound before birth. Talked to some MD friends who admitted, off the record of course, that they really aren't sure there is no risk of damage to the nervous systems of developing fetuses, but everyone does it anyway, mostly due to risk of lawsuits and the velvet demands of their insurance carriers!

Sometimes I wonder if all the electromagnetic fields we are exposed to constantly might have impact on the ability to focus and concentrate. As a people, we seem to all have a short attention span. We seem to be less able to handle aggravation without overreacting. Could all those fields make us more inclined towards states of chronic agitation?

Just anecdotal, but I am a seamstress and know an awful lot of other seamstresses who develop breast cancer. Seems the # is disproportionate to those I know who have cancer but don't sew. And, yes, I know many, many more people who don't sew (and actually, few who do sew). Since the machines and a woman's chest are in close proximity, I have wondered about the electro magnetic field created by the machines and any likelihood of it contributing to abnormal cell growth in the areas closest to it.
