Where did you see this? Remember he is first and foremost a M.D. using epidemiology and case study to reach his conclusions. In some cases, Milham attributes DE problems to the "skin effect" where systems designed for 60 Hz might be carrying much higher frequencies. Hopefully someone not from the head in the sand(HITS) brigade can answer if the skin effect could be contributing to elevated fields in the home or work space, if this problem has been solved with current wiring standards, or would only apply to older knob-and-tube for example.

well, people fall into two groups on this subject...

those who see "dirty electricity" as a health hazard, and those who don't.
there is a wealth of content online for anyone who has any point of view,
to justify said point of view.

if we want to go into the deep end of the pool, not necessarily the gene pool....
i googled "the frequency of DNA" and promptly fell down a rabbit hole....

as all forms of radient energy seem to have a frequency, varying from DC to
something like 76 ghz, their seems to be a wide variety of opinion on what
different frequencies effect on the body actually is...

from the aformentioned website....


Solfeggio Frequency 174 Hz




Give your body a sense of security, safety and love. Encourage your cells to to do their best. According to some sources, this tone tends to reduce pain energetically.



Solfeggio Frequency 285 Hz




Influence energy fields and send a message to your body to restructure itself. 285 Hz frequency is being said to leave your body rejuvenated and energized.



Solfeggio Frequency 396 Hz




Releases from guilt and fear. Guilt often represent one of the basic obstacles to realization. 396Hz liberates the energy and enables achievement of goals in the most direct way.



Solfeggio Frequency 417 Hz




Produces energy to bring about change. 417Hz clears destructive influences of past events and puts you in touch with an inexhaustible source of energy that allows you to change your life.



Solfeggio Frequency 528 Hz




Brings transformation and miracles into your life. 528Hz frequency activates your imagination, intention and intuition to operate for your highest and best purpose.



Solfeggio Frequency 639 Hz




Dealing with relationships problems – those in family, between partners, friends or social problems. When talking about cellular processes, 639 Hz frequency can encourage the cell to communicate with its environment.



Solfeggio Frequency 741 Hz




Leads you into the power of self-expression, which results in a pure and stable life. The intent behind the 741Hz frequency is to solve and cleanse.



Solfeggio Frequency 852 Hz




Linked to ability to see through the illusions of your life, such as hidden agendas of people, places and things. 852Hz raises awareness and lets you return to spiritual order.



Solfeggio Frequency 963 Hz




The frequency of 963 Hz is connected with the Light, and enables direct experience. Re-connects you with the Spirit, or the non-vibrational energies of the spiritual world.



at this juncture, i'll go straight into metaphysics, and close with this quote
"it is done unto you, as you believe."

that seems to cover it pretty well.

edit-
on a personal note, not of any specific frequency, dirty or otherwise,
most people diving off into this pool usually hit there head on the bottom,
as it's pretty shallow, and end up a little batty when you talk with them.

So, what, exactly, does an impure 60 Hz sine wave have to do with the well being of people near them?

DE caused by skin effect? Nonsense. In fact, skin effect attenuates more as the frequency increases, so it would actually decrease HF electricity.

Gee, if 174 through 963 hz do all those wonderful things then those frequencies emitted by DE are a good thing, no?

Or is that too logical to make sense...

In larger high power systems, the rule could be look and you will find problems. Ungrounded systems with short to ground and limited return path through the earth, improper neutral connections so the radiated magnetic and electric fields become widely spaced in air, all kinds of stuff. There should be good demand for PQ surveyors, ghostbusters.

On the forums used to be a man named Karl Riley

He wrote this book

https://www.amazon.com/Tracing-EMFs-Building-Wiring-Grounding/dp/146990201X

He made his living traveling being an 'EMF Ghost Buster'. In almost every case it would be traced back to non-NEC compliant wiring mistakes, as you said improper neutral connections etc.

He did not talk a lot about the health issues, he focused a lot on issue like PC monitors acting up due to EMF. If he was still active on the forums I am sure he would say that line filters are not the answer and just basic correct wiring methods will help a lot.

Karl also came to mind. He hasn't been around for a long time though.

Could you check to see when the last time was when he logged in?

Solfeggio Frequency 420 Hz

Calms and relaxes the body, softens and heightens the senses at the same time, or pretty close to the same time. Causes the body to seek the life essence of water. Increases palatability for food of all kind. Has been known to bring like minded people together. Their generosity is often verbalized at gatherings when sharing by the simple word, 'here'.:p

let's not forget frequency #7.

filtered to the essence. thru charcoal. this frequency originates in
the southern united states, but can be found most anywhere.

when absorbed, it causes a remarkable shift in perception. to wit:

We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.
No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.
That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.
Self-seeking will slip away.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.

all of that, and more, from frequency #7. who would have thought?

The term "skin effect" seems to used rather loosely and with different meaning in some cases.

"The skin effect causes the effective resistance of the conductor to increase at higher frequencies where the skin depth is smaller, thus reducing the effective cross-section of the conductor." - wikipedia

"Wire gauge: as the wire diameter decreases, the impedance increases. Higher impedance wire will broadcast more noise than lower impedance wire. Therefore, when selecting the wire gauge for the motor power wires, power supply wires and ground wires it is better to err on the side of being too thick rather than to thin. All ground wires must be a heavy gauge and be as short as possible. Ground braids will ground out more noise than just stranded wire due to the skin effect at high frequencies. Since high frequency travels on the surface of a conductor the more strands there are the better noise immunity."

So far, so good.

Bold added for emphasis. Basically, show me the math. If the bold were true, the same would be true for intentional high frequency electricity. I can assure you that, as a ham radio operator for over 20 years, making an antenna thinner will not make it 'broadcast more'.

When running noisy cables in conduit be careful not to attach the conduit to thebuildings steel structure. This can often be a lower impedance ground than your Applied EMI/RFI Techniques4 August 2015intended system ground, resulting in the entire ground grid of the plant to becomenoisy.

The NEC requires metal conduit to be bonded to building steel. To have them separate is a safety hazard in the event of a fault.

There is some good info in that doc. For instance, suggesting using shielded cable in non-metallic conduit instead of regular cable in metallic conduit.

The biggest problem with EMI/RFI cable runs (in my experience) is ingress, not egress. That and 'cross talk' between cables.

Been busy trying to resuscitate a John Deere 310B.

Sorry sternum, not forehead. Should have googled it.

"I use an off the shelf Fluke 187 or 287true RMS meter for this measurement with an ECG patch over mysternum attached to one lead and the other lead to an outlet ground ortrue ground."

"In various places around themarket touching the pavement with my hand would cause over 200 uAof current to flow through my body between the pavement and anoutlet ground."

http://www.sammilham.com/Electromagnetic Fields market report.pdf

Make no mistake I have a high regard for anyone actually out in the field surveying, putting their body directly at risk in responding to other people's reports of problems. High regard.

There certainly exists electric power problems, from imperceptible voltage potentials and current flow on the ground or Earth paths, radiated EMF, up to and including electrocution hazards. The surveying itself is a bona fide endeavor.

Power line filters would be last on my list, after banning and removing the offending equipment and repairing/replacing wiring violations.

The guy walks around, a human saltwater battery, and measures his ability to act as an antenna...measuring differences of potential with a meter that has a much higher internal resistance (10 MOhm) than his corporeal breadboard.

I haven't watched this particular "claims" video...I value my time. Does he even address this, or is it assumed to be common knowledge.

He could have at least used a model 289 with the LoZ option...unless he just doesn't understand WTH he is doing to begin with.

Yes, by all means, put copper threaded sheets on your bed and ground yourself while you sleep. Wear low impedance footwear, or better yet, go barefooted and spray the ground with water wherever you go so you can remain earthed with the mother.

Birds everywhere are shaking their little heads.

From a psychology class I seem to remember a fundamental brain wave frequency being in the range of 5 to 10 Hz. I believe this is the alpha wave described above. For some reason I also seem to remember that if an external stimulus of near this frequency was applied to a subject that a psychophysical effect could be produced. I just now tried changing the pulse rate to an LED in this range and I did not feel affected. This does not mean I was not affected.

I was a subject in psychophysical experiments a very long time ago. This was related to signal detectability. The experiments were visual. I could detect signals that I really did not know that I detected. Following this semester the tests were changed to auditory and I was the designer and builder of the equipment to do the tests.

In days past there were people near WLW that had their bed spring talking to them. That was the days of 500,000 watts at I believe 700 kHz. I don't believe they had any physical problems other than talking springs that kept them awake.

I think that most of the talk about "dirty electricty" causing people problems is nonsense. However, a large loop with a high 60 Hz current might have a human physical effect. I have worked around moderate power radio transmitters at times and I never felt any bad results (20 W to at least 1 kW). I have been near a 50,000 W transmitter. I have had radio diathermy treatments. I am still alive.

Wilson P. Tanner was my psych teacher.

60Hz/EMI has an effect on my cousin, but she has had a pacemaker since she was 3 months old.

Notsomuch dirty electricity, but electrical interference with her cybernetic self.
