I got approximately 50 VERY appreciated responses which have helped me tremendously with my report. I would like to thank those of you who have replied. Now I have another question. My instructor believes that there are health effects from EMFs. Personally, from the evidence I've seen, I don't see how he can reach a definite conclusion either way. However, he indicated to me that there are proven effects on bacteria, cells, yeast, etc. that are conclusive. Unfortuneately, I can not find them. I find myself between a rock and a hard place trying to write what I feel is an accurate report. I have found a couple of items that have a general consesus (ie flickering of vision or magnetophosphenes), but can not find the "proven effects" he is talking about. I would appreciate any comments anyone might have on these "proven effects". I would also like any conclusive information on: calcium efflux, immunology, cell suspensions, circadian rhythms, oxygen and biochemical changes, mitosis, and cellular response. Thanks again.

Since the cell was so large (approx. 1 cm. in diameter) a probe could be positioned to determine the EMF potential. External stimuli was applied and changes equal to muscle cell EMF could be seen. I believe that external EMF and ELECTROMAGNETISM were applied as well as light, pH and temperature changes. You could check the literature of Plant Physiology and the Research Archives at Stanford Hopkins Marine Biological Station for the years mentioned above. I hope this is of help.

Those familiar with the site will find the new address much shorter and less cryptic than our old address and the new site a little more modern taking advantage of HTML frames, graphics and colours. This is phase one. There are more enhancements and revisions to come. -- ********************* Richard W.
