Electrical Noise Causing Physiological Stress?
el johnno writes "The Globe and Mail is reporting on possible physiological problems caused by so-called 'dirty electricity.' Poor power quality caused by electrical feedback and harmonics from consumer electronics are cited as a possible cause of various 'physiological stress' problems. While previous research in this area looked for connections between EM fields and cancer, some research is now looking into possible connections to fatigue, headaches, depression, and other symptoms. From the article: 'If electricity were flowing in a constant way, most people's bodies would likely adapt, but with all the interference from modern devices, the resulting fields are too variable for people to get used to.'"
Now I know why I get headaches and feel generally lousy at work. I assumed my job sucked but now I know it's just bad electricity.
Does that mean we've got to don tin foil gowns now?

It's a plot by the Edison company to bring back DC power!
Luckily I'm wearing my AFDB.
Of someone else who thought strange things were happening around him:
I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love...Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I-I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence.
(Now compare this to: Mr. Byrne also noticed another odd health effect after he cleaned up his power, convincing him that electricity was at the root of his problems. Both he and his wife suddenly began to sleep more soundly and his dreams became "incredibly real and very vivid.")
It's when the bill comes in that I get headaches and become depressed.
To summarise it, what if stress and depression arise from chronic overuse of the brain? Information overload and lack of sleep could be the real culprits. Think about it.
No, DON'T think about it!!

They're hiding the cure for NAS! Quick, Ice-T, broadcast it to the whole world!
If this was true anyone working in a UPS environment would be a sick nutter.

Haven't met many sysadmins, have you?
Driving to work some months ago I noticed the guy in the car next to me had a wire pyramid on his head. I thought that was a bit odd, but I think he had it all figured out...focus the BAD EMF and relay it to the alien mother ship to thwart their assault.
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
Oh sure...the cure for N.A.S. is...drumroll please...go for a friggin' walk!!!
