On the sill of the window in my lounge, with me 'sending' from the armchair up near my hi-fi, approx 7 yards. I will express the results in the same format as in the letter to Best. I stood a little one-inch wide white paper target behind the central stone to act as an 'aiming point'.

At the end stones, the wave-meter was just able to remove the field at the single reading of 57-75, showing that the field in the stone was just on the limit of detection by the wave-meter, which explains why the single stone ten inches away didn't get activated from USA. But look at the lovely symmetrical way the field falls off going outwards from the central stone! I clearly 'aimed' a tiny bit to the right of center (i.e. towards the + stone.
Now for a bit of real excitement! ... when I had finished measuring the stones, it occurred to me to try the paper target that stood behind the central stone . .. did it pick up anything of my field? Yes - it picked up the full field the same as the central stone . ..

BUT by the time I got to it, it was decaying so fast that I couldn't repeat a-reading, and while I was trying to do so the last whiff of field disappeared from the paper! This is to be expected, because the number of activated molecules in the thickness of the writing paper would be so small that the decay should be very rapid (as would also happen if you could use a thin paper-thick slice of stone for the experiment.)

These results are very reassuring, because they show that the processes involved in the field transmission can be checked and researched by ordinary experimental methods, i.e. there is no 'magic' involved, but only ordinary physics, even if we don't yet understand it fully. When I get the car back I must set up the same experiment, then drive 10 miles away and try it again, I would expect the field to spread a bit more to each side. Better still, I'll set it up on the mantelpiece for you to try from Guildford - phone me when ready.

Dear Mr. Best,
You may remember that I phoned you recently to get Roger Coghill's phone number, and after chatting about my research on the physics of energy lines and other natural microwave fields you said .. 'Keep in touch'. I have decided to do exactly that in connection with some new developments which are rather startling ... but first I must fill in some general background.

All living things are surrounded by a microwave field of characteristic frequency. At present this is detectable only by dowsing, and unfortunately will probably remain so into the predictable future. I took a test source, set to 10GHz, to the firm RFI Ltd. in Basingstoke some time ago, and they very kindly checked it with a-horn-coupled swept-frequency spectrum analyser set up in their rather beautiful screened room. The source was at least 20 times stronger than any natural field that I had encountered up to that time, but gave no indication whatsoever on their equipment. This put an upper limit of 10-15 watt, on that particular source, so it is very unlikely that a practical 'field detector' will ever be possible. However, as you know already, I have developed an absorption, wave-meter which allows frequency and field strength to be measured with great precision when used in conjunction with dowsing, and work done with this instrument forms the basis of everything that follows.

All female living things tested so far, including humans, have fields characteristically in the range 100-150GHz. The value doesn't seem to change for a particular individual, although I have not searched systematically for factors that might cause small variations, such as ill health. In contrast, male humans are around 30GHz, with somewhat more variation. However, quite a high proportion of males have the typical female field of 100-150GHz, and this nearly always is accompanied by an appearance which I can now recognise on first contact, and by a certain type of personality. This 'female field' is present from birth. Because I can usually recognise immediately if a man is in this category, and because of the great interest in the subject, I tend to seek them, and this gives the false impression that about one in five men have female fields. For example, your co-author Dr. Cyril Smith is almost sure to be in tile select band (I saw him at the Breakspear Seminar in Sept. (although I didn' speak to him) and Ludwig Mersmann is quite certain to have a female field from his photograph in one of his advertising brochures. The distinctive personality pattern is not relevant in what follows, so I won't comment on it here.

It is quite easy to impress one's field into a stone or a sample of tap water just by holding it in the hand for a few moments. A frequency measurement from the stone then gives exactly the same result as when done directly from the person. The impressed field decays from the object at a rate that depends on the frequency, a 'few days' for the higher frequency female field, or a "few weeks' for the lower normal male field, and much longer still if the stone is activated by exposure to a suitable field at even lower frequencies.

Male healers, whether amateur or professional, seem to form a special caterory, in that without exception they have female fields. This applies even when the appearance is quite 'wrong', as in the case of General Bill Cooper, who gave a lecture on the subject recently in Bristol.
The above is a very brief summary . . . now on to the particular events which have precipitated my decision to write to you.
A few months ago a healer from Guildford - Chris Pick - came to see me. He had been doing some experimental work with Dr. Jack Fidler, and after Jack's unexpected sudden death, Mrs Fidler referred him on to me to continue the work. Like all male healers, his field was 'female', exactly 100GHz measured 'in the flesh'. However, when he slipped into his 'healing mode' (which he could do at a moments notice and without any concentration or strain) his field shifted upwards in frequency to values around 500GHz, which is well beyond the normally accepted boundary with infra red (= l mm wavelength, or 300GHz). He brought with him two small stones (aluminium foil wrapped) which he had held in his hand at different times while in the healing mode, and these checked out at 750 and 857GHz.

While here, he demonstrated a trick which I had not met before and which I found rather surprising ... without any apparent effort he impressed his healing mode field into a stone across the width of my living room. I had checked beforehand that the stone was quite 'dead' but a few moments later it was emitting strongly at 698GHz. When I tried the same trick, to my great surprise it worked at the first attempt, a fresh stone easily picking up my 'normal' male 32.97GHz field with just slight mental effort from a distance of about 3m.

Later that night he phoned to say that while approaching his home in Guildford he had attempted to activate a saucer full of small stones which he had seen on my mantelpiece (they were little rounded pebbles for possible use in making pendulums). A quick check showed that they were all emitting at his healing mode frequency.

Soon after that I travelled to Ireland to spend Christmas with my daughter, and of course I demonstrated my new trick. To my great surprise, everybody there could do it, even my 11 year old granddaughter who found it great fun! I had taken a couple of the stones from the saucer to measure their rate of decay in order to keep some useful work going while in Ireland, so I knew that the remaining stones in the saucer on my mantelpiece in Lydney were now quite inactive, since Chris's high frequency healing mode field takes only a few days to drop to zero. Just before travelling back, I attempted to activate the saucer full of stones on my mantelpiece, and a check when I got home showed that they were humming with my normal ~2GHz field. I phoned Chris to tell him about this result, only to find that he was now in America.

He was due to phone his wife from America on New Years Day, so I arranged with her to ask him to activate a saucer full of fresh stones which I would place in the usual place on my mantelpiece. I was away, on New Years Day, but when I checked them the following day they were all emitting his healing mode field in the region of 500GHz ... it was difficult to get accurate frequency measurements because they were decaying very fast
Now I need another little bit of background! When I started dowsing about three years ago, the very first microwave field that I investigated in depth was one that I now call the 'universal field because it can be found everywhere (i.e. all through UK and Ireland anyway). It doesn't appear to have any ‘source’ like all other natural microwave fields, and it is very unstable, changing direction, structure and frequency sometimes over short times of a half hour ... at other times it remained stable for weeks.

As well as the instability, it sometimes exhibited a complex line spectrum, which added to the difficulty of making accurate measurements, but it was usually in the region of 30GHz ... at that time I was developing the wave-meter, so I don’t place much faith in those old measurements.
Like all natural microwave fields, the universal field drifted to longer wavelength in mid-September last year (graph enclosed for a typical field) and now seems to be much more stable, at present- sitting at 6.67Ghz.
Now back to the Chris story ... when set to 6.67GHz my wave-meter absorbs the universal field over a radius of 20 feet or so.

In the absence of this field it is no longer possible to activate a stone at a distance. The activation of a stone must involve the absorption of microwave quanta which raise the rotational energy of molecular bonds in the stone.

As the rotational bond energy drops gradually back to the ground state - a form of microwave fluorescence or phosphorescence - characteristic quanta are emitted, which constitutes the dowsable field. It is a reasonable working hypothesis that the absorbed quanta come from the universal field, but the active thought processes of the sender must be able to boost the universal field up to the frequency of the sender's field in the immediate vicinity of the target stone, so that activation takes place exactly as if the stone was being held in the sender's hand.

When Chris first explained the process, he thought that it was necessary for the sender to hold a strong visualised image of the actual target stone in raind while carrying out the remote activation. The successful experiment from America gave a slightly different explanation; The stones in the saucer were fresh ones that Chris had never seen, so it was sufficient for him to visualise the saucer sitting in the familiar spot on my mantelpiece. The visualisation is quite selective, because a single stone which happened to be sitting on my mantelpiece about 10 inches from the saucer was unaffected.

Because of the importance of these experiments in providing new insight into the capacity of the human mind to carry out action at a distance, some actual experimental results may be useful. As the tuning control of the wave-meter is advanced, the dowsers response to the field disappears quite sharply at a critical scale reading, remains absent as the scale is advanced further, then reappears, again quite sharply, at a later scale reading.

The difference between these two readings is a measure of the relative strength of the field, while the midpoint between the two readings corresponds exactly to the frequency of the field when read off the calibration curve of the instrument. Results are expressed in a standard format of four numbers: the first number inside brackets is the midpoint between the two scale readings, and the second number inside brackets is the difference between the two readings i.e. the relative strength of the field in arbitrary units. The wavelength and frequency read from the calibration curve then follow:

(1) Small stone held in Chris's hand, not in 'healing model (11/12/89)
 3.5 (13.65) 23.8 (20-3) ^ = 3.0mm f = 100Ghz

(2) Small stone held in Chris's hand, in 'healing model (11/12/89)
 0.1 (1.0) 1.9 (1.8) ^= 0.37mm f = 811GHz

(3) Fresh stone in Chris's hand, later, in 'healing model (11/12/89)
 0.1-(1.3) 2.5 (2.4) ^ = 0.40mm f = 750GHz

(4) Small stone, Chris 'sending' across room (11/12/89)
 0.1 (1-5) 2.9 (2.8) ^ = 0.43mm f = 698GHz

(5) Small stone, Chris 'sending' from 150 miles (11/12/89)
 0.3 (1-05) 1.8 (1-5) ^ = 0.38mm f = 789GHz

(6) Small stone, Bill 'sending' across room (11/12/89)
 30.1 (37.0) 43.9 (13.8) ^ = 9.10mm f = 32.97GHz

(7) Small jar of water, Bill 'sending' across room (20/l/90)
 30.5 (37.2) 43.9 (13.4) ^ = 9.14mm. f = 32.82GHz

When Chris was 'sending' across the room, and later on while driving home at a distance of approx 150 miles, he didn't intentionally move into his healing mode ... in fact, the results surprised him. It seems that from long practice he automatically and quite unconsciously moves into his healing mode when involved in unusual thought processes, for example, when engaged in projecting his field into a stone at a distance. The differences in his healing mode field are not measurement errors, they represent real changes in the degree to which he has succeeded in elevating his frequency above his usual ‘female’ field at any particular moment.

Map dowsing is another example of mental activity at a distance. In my research on the connection between energy line density and leukaemia, map dowsing has been the main tool for exploring the location, direction and width of energy lines all over the country. I have found that it appears to work just as well at distances as far as Peru. In my early days of map dowsing, naturally I felt an obligation to check as many map-dowsed lines as possible at their actual sites. I didn't keep record of these checks, but they must have numbered hundreds and I never found a single instance where map dowsing gave me an incorrect result.

When activating a stone at a distance, the human field is transported to the vicinity of the stone; when map dowsing at a distance, the field of the energy line is transported to the dowser, where it produces a response of the pendulum. Therefore the two processes are sharing a common mechanism involving the universal field, and it is not surprising to find that map dowsing ceases to be possible when the wave-meter is set to absorb the universal field at 6.67GHz in the vicinity of the dowser. Although I have not yet had an opportunity to test it, it is also likely that removal of the universal field will also block activities such as telepathy, clairvoyance, poltergeist phenomena, and anything else that involves thought processes acting over a distance.

Activating a stone at a distance does not require any special skill and can apparently be done by anybody at the first attempt. Because the results are repeatable and can be measured with apparatus operating on well-understood scientific principles, it opens up a whole new field of research into the way mental processes work.

The research described above is still in its infancy. Nevertheless, it seemed appropriate to send you an account of it at this early stage, in case your position as Editor of Electromagnetic News brings you into contact with similar or parallel work elsewhere.

With best wishes for the continued success and expansion of Electromagnetic News,
Yours sincerely,
(Dr. W.H. Sutherland)

Dear Mr Pick,
 
Thank you for your most interesting letter of 29th December. I am very much interested in the experimental work you carried out with Dr Sutherland. I am interested that you looked at the millimetre centimetre wave band, because our work with coherent radiations, based on Herbert Frohlich's work (he has recently died, but was one of our scientific advisors and a world renowned theoretical physicist), would indicate these frequencies are particularly biologically active.

However, using direct electro-magnetic means to measure healing energies, has been notably unsuccessful, in many attempts by many different workers, including ourselves. We have focused a lot on photon emission from the body. At long last we have found out what the reason is for this, and that is that the energies we are talking about are in fact in what you might call a different dimension. We have called these scalar fields. They are basically information fields, in which the information is contained in an interference pattern between electrons.

They are outside of the time space dimension, therefore explaining why it is possible to carry out distant experiments with instantaneous results, in other words, signals will travel at infinite velocity in the scalar domain. This domain is, if you like, a virtual domain which is rotated away from our three dimensional (x, y, and z), world. If you like it is rotated away from our world by 90° so you can imagine it was just around the corner. There exists possibilities for an infinite number of other dimensions all rotated 90° away from each other.

Time is an important aspect of the next dimension to which we shall be looking. I enclose a paper written by one of my research team on Scalar Fields, which gives you some idea as to what I am talking about. Therefore our research work is exclusively directed towards developing scalar technology, both for creating scalar effects and for measuring them. Unfortunately. clearly from what I have just said, it will be impossible to use standard electro-magnetic means of measuring this sort of energy. We need other approaches. This is why we need as much help as possible from intuitive and creative people, with some scientific background, involved in this field.

I am currently trying to develop photographic techniques for working in this area. Having said that, I am very interested in more details, if possible enough details in order to build the absorption wave meter which you used. From your letter it would sound worth trying.
Please send me as many details as possible. At some point we should meet, but at the present moment, time is a real consideration from my Point of view, as I am also running a full-time clinical practice. I have somehow managed to keep the flame of our research effort, now overseen by the Dove Healing Trust, alight, and foresee a time within the not too distant future as to when we should have significant funds in order to carry this work further forwards.

A possible microwave basis for allergic reactions.
Preliminary progress report.
 
 A pinch of salt dissolved in tapwater can be used to demonstrate how easy it is to set up a dowsable microwave field at about 20GHz frequency (wavelength = 15mm). Scientific curiosity drove me to see if the microwave frequency depends on the concentration, so I dissolved about a quarter teaspoon of 'LO SALT' (low sodium salt) in 250ml of tapwater and measured the frequency of the main component in the resulting microwave spectrum. Serial dilution by steps of 1000, all the way to a dilution of a million million million million times (1024), produced the curve in Fig. l. It was necessary to go back and add dilutions of 101, 102, and 104.5 to get enough points to define the shape of the curve accurately. The figures below the curve show the relative field intensity measured at each dilution.
 
 I expected the field to get weaker with increasing dilution, and the cyclic variation in microwave frequency over such a wide (and increasing) range was totally unexpected. However, it did remind me that about three years earlier, in a lecture given in Oxford by Dr Jean Monro, I had seen an exactly similar curve used to illustrate empirically the clinical behaviour of homoeopathic dilutions.
 
 Could the homoeopathic dilutions produce their effects entirely by their microwave emissions? The hunch was worth following up, but at that time I had no knowledge of - or even interest in - homeopathy. However, I could follow up my hunch by using myself as a guinea pig, so I arranged an appointment in the nearby Allergy and Arthritis Clinic run by Dr Tony Hodson in Coleford. The intention was to find several dilutions to which I was allergic, which I could then measure to see if they all radiated at the same frequency ... it wouldn't matter what was in the tubes.
 
 Using muscle testing, Dr Hodson's assistant, Mrs Joy Bradley-Roake, found me allergic to Phenol at dilutions of #0, #1 and #2, and neutralised by dilutions of #16, #30 and #50. (I still haven't found out what 'Phenol x#30' means in terms that a physicist can understand, but that can wait a little longer!). I took the six tubes home to measure over the weekend with the results shown in columns 1,2,3 and 6,7,8 of Fig.2.
 
 My hunch appeared correct! ... all three allergens had main emissions at about 7.5GHz (40.1mm wavelength). As an added bonus the main microwave emissions from the three neutralisers were also close together at 200GHz (1.5mm wavelength), right at the other end of the microwave spectrum.
 
 It was (and still is) hard to believe that the complex subjects of
- 2 -
 
allergies and homoeopathic neutralisers could be simplified to just two narrow microwave bands. How could I get further evidence? ... obviously by finding other substances radiating at those frequencies and muscle testing them for responses similar to those obtained with the corresponding Phenol dilutions. I already knew that tapwater could be made to radiate at any desired frequency by brief exposure to the weak dowsable field surrounding the Absorption Wavemeter developed for these and other microwave measurements of fields too weak to be detectable by other means.
 
 Using two fresh homoeopathic tubes filled with tapwater, I 'activated' them at scale settings of 157 and 8 for exposure times of 15 minutes each The resulting main emissions are shown in columns 5 and 9 of Fig.2.
 
 As a further check I filled a fresh homoeopathic tube with the 1024 salt dilution of Fig.1 to see if its frequency was close enough (column 4 in Fig.2) to provoke the same allergic reaction as the strong phenols.
 
 Labelled by letters only, and mixed up with the previously tested phenols for 'double blind' muscle testing, these three tubes produced reactions indistinguisable from those of the corresponding phenols.
 
 Finally, a fourth tube of tapwater was 'activated' by being held in the hand for a few minutes by Mrs Bradley-Roake, to pick up her 'standard' female field. Female fields have checked in at scale readings between 9 and 14 (160 to 100GHz) for all females tested so far, and this should be close enough to stimulate a neutralising reaction similar to that of the phenols in columns 6,7,8. Muscle testing showed this to be a correct assumption.
 
 During one of the muscle testing sessions I had my complete allergy profile checked, just for general interest. To my surprise, I gave positive reactions to many common foods and additives. After only a few weeks on a diet free of my known allergens, it has become easy to recognise allergic reactions stimulated by other allergens not in the original list. In this way I have identified and added a number of other substances (e.g. pepper, Brazil nuts, peanuts and almonds).
 
 The microwave spectra of as many of these allergens as were readily
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
**By contrast, 'normal' male fields range from 33 to 22.5GHz, but a small proportion of males tested have 'female' fields that go along with an appearance and personality which I can now recognise almost at first contact ... but that is another topic with no known relevance to the subjects discussed here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
available are shown in columns 10 to 23 of Fig.2. These measurements were made on small specimens of the actual products - a single nut, a grape, small pieces of ham, bread, cheese, pinches of Bisto, coffee, etc. In every instance, the substance radiates strongly at, or close to, my 'forbidden' frequency of 7.5GHz. On the other hand, none of the many 'safe' substances tested so far have microwave spectral lines anywhere near that frequency.
 
 How closely do these results apply to other people? It is far too early to say ... remember this is just a preliminary progress report! However, a quick (but time-consuming) check on the homoeopathic dilutions listed in the records of three patients attending the Allergy Screening clinic run by Mrs Bradley-Roake gave the results shown in Figs 3,4 and 5. All three patients were male and had positive reactions to the same dilutions - Formaldehyde #1, ethanol #1 and Cigarette smoke #2. These look marginally lower in wavelength than my ones in Fig.2. Their food profiles contained some common, but also a number of different positive allergens. There hasn't been an opportunity to measure these yet.
 
 Patient A (Fig.3) seems to have a neutralising pattern similar to Line. Patient B (Fig.4) is neutralised by frequencies scattered over half the present microwave range, while Patient C (Fig.5) seems to have his neutralising frequencies close to - or even coincident with - his allergic frequency.
 
 Will this muddled neutralising situation turn out to be a common feature as we delve further into the physics of severe allergic illness? Only time (and a lot of hard work!) will produce the answers ... no doubt with a multitude of fresh questions:
 
Technical notes:
 
 The 0 - 180 scale on the left in these diagrams comes directly from the micrometer-type tuning control of the wavemeter. A conversion to wavelength in mm and frequency in GHz is included on the right in Fig.l and can be used also with the other diagrams. At the time when the homoeopathic dilutions were being measured, the end stop of the tuning control was at a scale reading of 159. Some measurements (e. g. top of columns 1,2,3 in Fig.2) are shown as cross-hatched squares because I don't know how much further they would have extended beyond the end stop. At this stage it doesn't matter because there is already enough signal there to account for an allergic reaction from the tubes. The wavemeter has
- 4 -
 
since been modified to extend to longer wavelengths, and the appropriate dilutions will be re-measured as soon as possible, but it did not seem worth delaying this progress report until then.
 
 It is worth explaining in greater detail how the measurements are made and the form in which the spectra are presented in Figs.2,3,4,5. At the longer wavelengths and vastly greater field strengths used in the communications industry (e. g. radio, TV) an absorption wavemeter would have a panel meter to indicate the strength of the signal. As the wavemeter is tuned through the wavelength of the transmission it causes the signal strength to drop locally, indicated by a sharp fall in the reading on the panel meter.
 
 The microwave signals we are detecting from food products and homoeopathic tubes are at least a thousand million times weaker. At the present time there is no practical technology available to show them as a reading on a meter, so we must rely on the exquisite sensitivity of the microwave detector inside the dowser's brain to detect the drop in signal strength as the wavemeter is tuned through the correct wavelength. The dowsing response disappears suddenly at one scale reading and reappears again a little further along the wavemeter scale. The distance between these two scale readings is a measure of the relative signal strength of the field being measured, and the midpoint between the two readings indicates the exact wavelength of the microwaves.
 
 To catch the last 'whiff' of the disappearing field and the first 'whiff' of the reappearing field, I move my head to and fro over the object being measured, letting it pass just below my chin. To make the process as comfortable and strain-free as possible for the thousands of dowsing measurements reported here, I use a simple 'dowsing stand' to raise the object to the correct height so that I can make the measurement without bending and by just rocking to and fro. Usually, the wavemeter is sitting on a table about three feet away, within comfortable reach for easy adjustment.
 
 When set to the exact wavelength of the source, the wavemeter will absorb the field from a considerable distance, as shown in Fig.6. This diagram is plotted with the wavelength scale expanded ten times compared with the other diagrams, to show the details more clearly. For the test source in Fig.6 I used a plastic pill bottle containing 20ml of tapwater 'activated' for 15 min by exposure to the weak field of the wavemeter set to a scale reading of 157, as used already for column 5 of Fig.2.
 
During the measurements leading to Fig.6 the bottle sat on the
- - 5 -
 
dowsing stand at position A, while the wavemeter was moved progressively further away along the dotted line.
 
 When the wavemeter was only 3ft away from the bottle, the field of the bottle dropped below the dowsing threshold with the wavemeter set anywhere between 153.9 and 160.4, a range of 6.5. Moved further away, for example to position B at 49.5ft, the wavemeter had to be tuned closer to the bottle wavelength to weaken the field below my dowsing threshold, in this case anywhere between 155.15 and 159.15, a smaller range of 4.0.
 
 Finally, set exactly to the bottle wavelength at 157.15 *** the wavemeter weakens the field out to a maximum distance of 56.4ft. Even a foot or so beyond that distance, the field around the bottle remains dowsable at all settings of the wavemeter. In the case of stronger natural microwave fields, for example the field of a mature male Oak tree in the nearby Forest of Dean at 28.2mm wavelength (10.6GHz frequency) the wavemeter has to be moved away to a distance of 900ft before the field at the tree becomes dowsable again. Compared with humans or animals, the tree has the advantage that it stands in one place long enough to complete the measurements. By the way, a mature female Oak tree tunes in at 2.0mm wavelength (150GHz frequency) just like its human counterpart.
 
 Clearly, the distances I have been mentioning for both bottles and trees depend on the sensitivity of the dowser. Fatigue and one or two other factors can change the sensitivity temporarily, but fortunately it remains sufficiently constant to produce consistent and reproducible results.
 
 Going back to Fig.6, the 'range' when the wavemeter is a few feet away from the source (in that case, 153.9 to 160.4, a range of 6.5) has been adopted as a convenient way to plot the spectra in easily visual form for this progress report. Square boxes are drawn on the ranges to give a clear impression of both the wavelength and the field strength of each spectral component ... the bigger the 'box' the stronger the field. The cross-hatched 'box' in Fig.6 shows a slightly stronger field than the corresponding activated water used in column 5 of Fig.2, although the conditions used for the activation were the same (remember that Fig.6 is plotted at ten times the scale of Fig.2).
 
 Fig.6 shows that the wavemeter can 'detect' the field of the bottle out to a radius of 56ft, yet my dowsing sensitivity allows me to detect it only when it is close to my head. A person with extreme sensitivity
----------------------------------------------------------------------
*** It should have been exactly 157.00 but these were results from an actual experiment with the usual small errors. Sometimes the wavemeter is detuned slightly by the close proximity of the partially conducting tapwater during the activation process.

to electromagnetic fields (although not necessarily a dowser) might sense the presence of the field of the bottle and show allergic symptoms at a distance, for example in the same room as the bottle. This helps to explain the results obtained by Dr Jean Monro and reported at the bottom of page 87 in the book 'Electromagnetic Man' by Cyril Smith and Simon Best.
 
 The absorption wavemeter was calibrated by a number of known molecular microwave resonances$ Table 1. The HDO compound at 14.66mm wavelength (20.46GHz frequency) is an 'isotopomer' that appears as an equilibrium product in any mixture of ordinary water (H20) and heavy water (D20). I gratefully acknowledge the help of Dr Cox, Molecular Spectroscopy Laboratory, Bristol University, for information about the less well known resonances, and for providing the heavy water to complete the calibration.
 
 The calibration is linear against wavelength down to about 2.5mm (120GHz) then develops slight curvature due to perturbing factors as the wavelength approaches and actually crosses the official 1.0mm boundary where microwaves change into far infrared. The bottom two points in the

 Fig.2(b) is an addition to Fig.2. It shows the microwave spectra from a variety of foods which lie outside my 7.5 GHz allergy band (7.5 GHz -156 on the wavemeter scale). Although I have not yet had an opportunity to define the limits of my allergy bandwidth by direct measurement (by muscle testing with the weak tunable field of the wavemeter as an allergic trigger) I have coloured a band extending from 146 to 166 to help interpret these diagrams.
 
 Fig.2(c) shows the microwave emission from a number of environmental sources, some of which were main causes of two episodes of severe allergic asthma in recent months. Column 3 shows the emission from a sub-lingual nitrate spray prescribed for angina symptoms which developed (for the first time) over the Christmas period. Columns 4,5,6 are the microwave spectra from three inhalers used as preventative treatment for my asthma.
 
 Column 1 shows the emission from the expanding metal bracelet of my wristwatch, and column 2 the very large field from the metal frames of my glasses. In each case these form closed single turn coils, and therefore they have microwave resonances at the frequencies corresponding to these scale readings.
 
 In the case of the inhalers it is easy to identify the source of each emission, as follows: column 4 - (from the top downwards) plastic cap, plastic body, metal canister; column 5 - plastic cap, plastic body, metal canister, cap + body; column 6 - plastic cap, plastic body, plastic body, metal canister, cap + body. Most plastics emit microwaves when under mechanical stress, the frequency depending directly on the degree of stress.

Only small stress is needed; for example, in a lecture demonstration it is useful to show the emission from a plastic 35mm film container when a rubber band is put around it. This explains why the additional 'cap + body' component arises when the plastic caps are pushed onto the plastic bodies in columns 5 and 6.
 
 Metals do not emit microwaves, 'but when rusted or tarnished the polar oxide molecules emit at characteristic wavelengths. The emission from the metal canisters of these inhalers disappear when the labels are scraped off, so they are probably from the particular adhesive used to attach the paper labels.
 
 The allergic effect of these emissions is easily prevented by storing the inhalers inside a metal container when not in actual use.

 In the case of the Ventolin inhaler, which must be carried in the pocket, it is sufficient to screen the plastic case and cap with a wrapping of self-adhesive aluminium-backed sellotape, renewing the spent insert when necessary.
 
 In spite of these precautions my asthma continued to deteriorate. For the first time, oral prednisolone failed to establish control and hospitalisation was imminent. In a last ditch attempt I located three hitherto unrecognised sources of 7.5 GHz microwaves.
 
(1) My working table, where I spend a lot of time and a homemade bookcase, had been sanded down and wax polished some years previously. I still had the tin of Colron Wax Polish and a quick check (Fig.2(c), column 7) revealed the strongest emission I have yet encountered at 7.5 GHz. Both items of furniture were quickly banished.
 
(2) Column 8 in Fig.2(c) shows the microwave spectrum, with a strong component at 7.5 GHz, from the wash up liquid then in use (Co-op brand). It was measured from a small sample taken from the sink after adding the usual 'squirt' of wash up liquid. However, the same spectrum was easily detectable from the residue on all my cups and dishes. The offending detergent vas replaced by 'ECOVER' brand wash up liquid with the 'safe' spectrum in column 9.
 
(3) Mrs. Bradley-Roarie suggested that I might be sensitive to 'combination allergies' from mixing starch and protein in the same meal. It was usual for all my main meals to combine potatoes with either fish or meat. Fig.2(d) shows that starch/protein combinations are indeed a problem. Column 1 was measured from a fresh slice of white potato (compare with the red potato measured previously in column 11 of Fig. 2(b) Column 2 contains the spectrum from a small piece of smoked mackerel. This has a strong component at the unusually low frequency of 5.06 GHz (scale reading 230 on the wavemeter) - perhaps I have missed other similar components by not exploring far enough. Measured separately neither of these had component anywhere near 7.5 GHz, but when put together and measured in combination they produced the spectrum in column 3 with strong features within my allergy band. Since then I have adhered rigidly to the so-called 'Hay Diet' in which starch and protein meals are separated by at least 4 hours.

 The existence of these combination allergies opens up a whole new field of investigation into the way the body interprets mixed frequencies. This will be best explored using pairs of tubes filled with single-wavelength emitting dilutions of phenol, and hopefully will form the subject for a further appendix.
 
 With these three problems removed my asthma subsided quickly without medical intervention and the oral prednisolone was stopped.
 
 A few weeks later, on a Saturday late in March, I acquired an Amaryllis plant. I spent most of the following day (Sunday) building a set of units and bookcases to replace the wax-polished ones which had been thrown out. To avoid being caught out again I used white melamine-coated board, after checking that it had no measurable field. Without thinking, I painted some cut edges from a tin of white paint that I had used many tines before with no trouble (wood primer, product UN1263 from International Paints).

Early next morning (Monday) I just made it to the phone to summon a GP. An emergency cortisone injection, a session on a portable nebuliser and 40mg of oral prednisolone restored enough breath to enable me to check the Amaryllis and the white paint a few hours later, with the results in columns 10 and 11 of Fig.2(c).
 
 It was easy to put the Amaryllis outside, but I didn't intend to have to discard a second set of bookcases. A check on another tin of white paint (Crown 'Solo' self-undercoating gloss) gave the spectrum in column 12, but fortunately at the third attempt I found a tin with the 'safe' spectrum in column 13 (Joy 'Porcelanit' bath enamel). Applied on top of the now-dry 'Paint No.1' the 'combination field' was far enough away from 7.5 GHz and another allergic crisis was over. Now, less than two weeks later, I am once more enjoying long walks.

 Worldwide interest in the possible biological effects of electromagnetic radiation is currently producing a rising tide of experiments, papers, seminars and conferences, and several new review periodicals have appeared to cater for the interest (e.g. Electro- magnetics News, edited by Simon Best, PO Box 25, Liphook, Hants GU30 7SE, UK). There is general agreement that the subject needs urgent investigation, but convincing evidence for direct links between EMR and ill health is still scarce.
 The value of the work reported in this appendix is twofold: first, it gives further insight into the microwave basis of human allergic reactions; second - and perhaps more important - it provides direct proof of the biological effects of very low level microwaves.
