Eureka!

The staff of the Sneed blog is still reeling from the stern rebuke of our editorial stance on the dangers of Wi-Fi. David from the United Kingdom really set us straight on this whole business by playing the firefighter card. In addition, he body-slammed us by dragging some relatively obscure Canadian scientist, Magda Havas into the fray.

Dr. Havas is not a medical doctor, but rather an associate professor of Environmental and Resource Studies at Trent University in Canada. One might have thought that an eminent researcher such as Dr. Havas might have achieved full professorship, but maybe that's not how it works in Canada.

The good doctor is out to rid the world of something called 'dirty electricity' a term used to describe all of the electrical waves around us. She is big star in the alternative medicine circles.

Dr. Havas seems to claim to have done studies in which subjects with muscular dystrophy show improvement when the electrical field around them is lessened by the use of special filters. Ditto for diabetes suffers and children afflicted with autism. If you want a sense of the good doctor, go to You Tube and type in her name.

Dr. Havas is a a hero among the lunatic fringe.

Disclaimer: The Sneed blog does not have a dog in the electromagnetic radiation fight. It is our position however, that scientific evidence in the form of double-blinded studies, should be presented and peer reviewed before we get our undies in a bunch over stray radio waves. We at the Sneed blog think that it is poor public policy to legislate against something on the basis that it might oneday prove to be harmful.

Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong, sometimes just full of it, but always judgmental and cranky
