Hi, Roy --

The 'trail' to follow in investigating connection between EMF and
Ankylosing Spondylitis might include 2 interim/related elements I can
think of:

 -- recent studies with rats suggest Vitamin C can head-off some forms of
arthritis. Increased Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) was observed in the
treated rats.  A few decades ago, I'm aware, some private pilots were
supplementing SOD, specifically due to information that it was protective
against radiation energies more prevalent at higher altitudes.

 -- there's been a finding that the microcritter known as Klebsiella is
commonly found in AK folks; this is suggestive that a particular protein
in Klebsiella is the real 'target' the immune system is trying to shoot
down, and that very similar human tissues are getting caught in the
'friendly fire'.

I was a 'switchman' for a large phone company some time back, working
amongst old-style electromechanical central office equipment.  Along with
the rampant electromagnetic fields, some rather potent chemicals were part
of the job -- trichlorethane was the de-greaser of choice for the
bazillion electrical contacts that were there.  I recall essentially
passing out the first time I met that chemical, with also a wild, sharp
indigestion at the same time.  I suspect my liver was 'struck' by it
promptly.

I don't know whether such chemicals are still the tools of the trade in
the modern era of computerized phone switching; worth pondering, though,
if they are.  (I'd bet there's still some amount of lead solder in use,
too.)
