Today, we are chatting with Dr. Samuel Milham, a specialist in occupational epidemiology who's known as the scientist who first alerted the world to the frightening potential link between occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and human disease. Born in 1932, Dr. Milam is a graduate of union college and Albany Medical College. He became a senior resident and epidemiology at the New York State Department of Health in 1961 and then was a development consultant for that department. His experience includes associate professor, department of Pediatrics, Albany Medical College, associate professor, University of Hawaii, school of Public Health and medical school section head epidemiology section, Washington State Department of Health, chronic disease, epidemiologist, Washington State Department of Health, and more. He has received many awards, including the Robert Carl Strom Foundation Humanitarian Award in 1990 and has written dozens of peer reviewed articles on various medical issues. His mortality rate studies led to the writing of his book, Dirty Electricity, to alert people to the possibility of a looming epidemic of mortality due to high frequency radiation and what steps to take to reduce our exposure to dirty electricity. Now, this is a controversial topic with limited research behind it. There are many people who do believe that electromagnetic fields are negatively affecting our bodies, and that there needs to be more research done into the longterm consequences on humans, animals, and the environment. And there are many others who think that the existing research proves that there's no adverse health risks from electromagnetic fields. My goal is to always introduce topics to you and then encourage you to do your own research and to, at the end of the day, do what's best for you, your family, and the planet as best you can.
