  1. Question

    What kind of effect would an extremely strong (not low level EMF's usually talked about) magnetic field have on the brain and body?

    Consider a microwave oven and how well it cooks "meat". But of course, a microwave is vastly more energetic than the low-level EMFs that we deal with every day, so the effects are not in any way comparable. David Morrison
