How does the GMF interact with life on Earth?
Literature has suggested links to • Sudden death • Seizures • Hallucinations • Heart attacks • Strokes • Depression • Suicide • Visual acuity light perception • Melatonin suppression Semm 1980 Effects of an Earth-strength magnetic field on electrical activity of pineal cells. After initial exposure to 50T and diminished pineal electrical activity was observed, it was possible to depress activity again with a low stimulus of 0.10T. The pineal gland is the adrenal gland responsible for the synthesis of the hormone melatonin which is a well-established free-radical scavenger. It also plays an important part in establishing and controlling the body-clock or circadian rhythm. There is evidence from Norway of exposure to temporal changes of the GMF and Melatonin Suppression: • Weydahl 2001 Geomagnetic activity influences the production of melatonin at latitude 70N. • Changes in the geomagnetic activity had to be of a certain magnitude to affect the daily amplitude of melatonin. • If large en
