Do computers and television sets emit any sort of radiation that could be harmful to your health?

Question

Do computers and television sets emit any sort of radiation that could be harmful to your health? Im often afraid of sleeping too closely to a computer because Im afraid that the radiation may be harmful to my health.

Answer 1

Protecting Yourself
from Cyber Radiation
by Dr. Epps

As you sit there reading this sentence on your computer screen, you are being bombarded by harmful waves quietly emanating from it. Even if you turn off your computer. Your biomagnetic field is still being bombarded 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can't get away from them no matter where you go. "Extremely Low Frequencies" (ELFs, also called EMFs or electromagnetic frequencies) exist wherever electricity flows and radiate from every electrical item in your environment:


computers
radios
stereos
headsets TVs
watches
beepers
electric lights all electrical outlets, wires/cables
washing machines
telephones, cellular phones
electric blankets, pads


Why is electromagnetic radiation harmful?
Alters permeability of the blood brain barrier. The blood brain barrier is the body's special defense mechanism that prevents foreign substances from entering the brain.
Proliferates disease. Alters the behavior of cells, tissues, organs, and organisms.
Alters biological cycles. Disrupts motor functions.
Alters hormone levels, cellular chemistry, and immune system processes.
Can cause chromosomal damage & sterility. Causes defects, developmental abnormalities and alterations in embryos. Accelerates fetal mortality rates. Miscarriage is much higher among pregnant women who use electric blankets than those who do not.
Causes cataracts and eye problems.
Alters moods. Creates fatigue, depression, fear, and disorientation.
Alters learning ability. Causes memory loss.
A pulsating low-intensity EMF (one that's cycling on /off) will cause a release of noradrenaline in most people within 15 minutes. This may result in increased hospital admissions during times of magnetic disturbance.
Increases rate of cancer-cell division; increases incidences of certain cancers.
Leukemia and other cancers increase greatly among people living near overhead power cables (shown by studies in America, England & Sweden). Sweden's government lists EMFs, along with tobacco, as a Class-2 Carcinogen. Plant growth is stunted as far away as 1,000 feet from power lines.


Why is artificial light &
radiation from Computers harmful?
Health problems associated with computer use include miscarriages, birth defects, tumors, headaches, cataracts, vision problems, fatigue, skin rashes, nausea, and sleeplessness.
Brain tumors: The International Journal of Cancer, May 1992, published a study that found an almost fivefold increase in brain tumors among women who worked at VDT's (computer terminals /visual display terminals).
Miscarriages: A huge proportion of miscarriages and embryonic deformities occur among pregnant women working on computers. In a study done on a group of 1,583 pregnant women, the miscarriage rate of computer users was twice that of non-computer users. A 1988 study found a double rate of miscarriage among women using computers more than 30 hours per week.


Why is artificial light &
radiation from Television harmful?
Television is fluorescent; the mechanism by which it illuminates is almost identical with fluorescent lighting. Thus, the harmful effects of fluorescent light is directly applicable to television.
Hyperactivity in children has been directly linked to radiation from TV and fluorescent light, to which children are especially susceptible.
The flicker from TV sets can cause epileptic seizures. You do not consciously perceive the flickering of your TV screen because the flicker rate is higher than the "flicker-fusion" rate of the human eye. Whether you perceive it or not, your body reacts to it and is affected by it.

Ways to protect
yourself from harmful radiation
Get Frequency Neutralizers
Buy what I call a "frequency neutralizer," a counterforce for counteracting harmful radiations. They neutralize the negative effects of EMFs, ELFs, thus protecting you from them:

Computer Radiation Filter: Buy the type of glare filter that has "radiation /static protection." This kind blocks out or reduces exposure to very low and ELF radiation by over 99.99%. They also reduce eye stain and fatigue. A company called Fellowes Computerware produces one. Costs about $70.00. You just hang it over your computer screen. When I began using one, my near-daily headaches almost entirely went away. Source: Available from most computer stores.
Diodes: Wear the Slim Pocket Diode all day; its effect extends 18 inches from your body; holds your electrical system in balance ($24.95). Or put the Dio-Mid in your home /apartment; its effect extends 60 yards in all directions, protecting a huge entire area from ELFs ($395.95). Source: The Meta Center,1448 East 52nd St., Suite 264; Chicago, IL 60615; USA. [phone], voice and fax number; [phone].
Transmutation Plaque is a non-flexible cork-top plaque (12 12" x 8 12" x 14") which can remove poisonous materials and radiation from produce, meats, can goods, fruits, vegetables, etc. placed on the cork side of the plaque for about 20 minutes. Place a whole bag of groceries on it; the effect extends18 inches upwards. ($59.95). Source: The Meta Center, above.
The EMF Clear System(s): Just one is usually sufficient for a typical home or apartment. Costs from $99.00 to $195. Clarus Systems provides these devices for computers, home, auto, workplace, and personal applications. (A way of proving that they work is through Kirlian photography.

.
Television
If you must watch TV at all, at least maintain a safe distance of at least 3 feet from the standard-size set -and more than 3 feet from larger screens. This does not apply to projection TV screens. (The harmful hidden psycho effects from TV are likely worse than its radiation effects. For TV is a chief tool for mind-control in America; and being mind-controlled has never been so much fun like it is today. The fact that you can't even bear the thought of life without TV proves you are a TV addict. And you go berserk when you lose your "remote controller." Really, it's YOU that is being remotely controlled! People have been turned into "Sheeple.")
Growing a tray or two of wheat grass in front of your TV also effectively neutralizes TV radiation! This must also work for computers. (You can buy live wheat grass trays from many healthfood stores. You might need to add soil to the trays.)
Switch to watching a black & white TV. It's vastly safer and does not have the emissions generated by color TV.
Do not place a child / infant's bed by a wall adjacent to a TV set. Why? Because EMF radiation goes through wood and other building materials. If a TV is placed with its back against an inside wall, radiation will be present in the adjoining room as if no wall were present.
Unplug your TV completely after turning it off because TVs are powerful emitters of magnetic radiation even when turned off.

Answer 4

Radiation no.

What could damage your health but more specifically your eyes, is the flickering of the monitors especially the older screens. You need at least 15 minute break every hour to avoid damage to your eyes and brain. It can also cause epilepsy if you continously watch the monitor for extended periods of time.
Have a look at most gaming packages these days, they have it as warning on the covers now.

Answer 6

Older televisions and CRT's emmit some xray radiation, as far as I know gas plasma and lcd's don't.
