Hi everybody:

I have been given permission to forward the following interesting
study result.  NOTE!!  The date was 1975!!!

To mu knowledge, the current research has not revealed any familiarity
with this research......  Though, it could have some relevance to the
very revealing report given by Charles Graham (of MRI Research in Kansas
City) at the San Diego Meeting ... which I have previously cited to
you.....

Cheerio.......

Dear Roy Beavers,

Here is a reference for you.  
E. S. Maxey, "Critical Aspects of Human Versus Terrestrial
Electromagnetic Symbiosis" In Biological Effects of Electromagnetic
Waves, Selected Papers of the USNC/URSI Annual Meeting, Boulder, CO
(1975)

A solenoid was placed beneath the pillow in a clinical EEG laboratory. 
EMFs of 10 to 1,000+ nanotesla were applied at frequencies between 3 and
35 hertz.  About 10% of a small test sample showed driving of brain
rhythms with EMFs as low as 30 nanotesla.  The amplitude of the recorded
driven brain waves did not vary with variations of the applied driving
signal.  The driven brain would closely track the frequency of the
applied signal.  The recording pens did not allow study in the 50-60
hertz range so the study has no powerful statememt to make about
powerline EMFs.  ***It only showed that very subtle ELF EMFs can evoke a
biological response.***  [Guru's italics.]  Living things are very
sensitive to all sorts of terrestrial signals - 60 hertz being a newcomer
on the planet may have both beneficial and harmful biological effects.  We
know something about the latter from numerous epidemiological studies.

Thought you would like to know,

Ed Maxey
