Biofield Effects and Biophysics

There is now increasing interest in the possibility that exposure to static or extremely low frequency (ELF: 0–300 Hz; including 50 and 60-Hz powerline frequencies) electric and magnetic fields are associated with increased risk for certain cancers (Savitz and Calle, 1987), emotional depression (Perry and Pearl, 1988; Wilson, 1988), and changes in reproductive function and development (Wertheimer and Leeper, 1986). It now appears possible that EMF-induced changes in pineal gland function may account wholly, or in part, for these effects. We present here a discussion of this hypothesis.
