Computer and television screens, also used for video games, function on the same principle: like a fine jet of water projected against a wall, a beam of fast electrons sweep the fluorescent surface of the screen, where, point by point, it draws a luminous image. This would not be a problem if the energy from the electrons was limited to providing the image. But some of this energy escapes in the form of radiation at various frequencies, in particular VLF and ELF (very low frequency and extremely low frequency) fields. The spot of electrons which sweep the screen generates what scientists call PEMR (Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Radiation) which, at close range, disturbs the balance of all living cells. It has been established that the harmful effects of PEMR exist all around the screen, especially in front of and behind the tube, effects which persist several hours after the computer or TV set has been turned off.
The sensitivity of today's state-of-the-art measuring equipment is still considerably inferior to that of living cells (a difference of 109, i.e. a factor of one billion). As far back as 1991, Prof. Carl Blackman (USA) asked that results obtained on “biological models” be acknowledged since they are the only ones that are sensitive enough to demonstrate the harmful effects of the ELF produced by CRT screens on living beings.
-----------------------------------------
If you work in front of a computer screen, often watch TV, or have children who watch TV and play videogames, and some of the symptoms mentioned above are familiar to you, EMF-Bioshield® will give you the protection you need.
Here are some important facts to remember:
1. Pulsed Electro Magnetic Radiation emitted by CRT-based screens or VDTs (Video Display Terminals) travels through absolutely everything: walls, lead, flesh, screen filters, etc.
2. A CRT-based VDT radiates as far as eight times its own diagonal, with the most intense emission at close range within a 110° cone area in front and back of the screen, meaning that if you're facing your own computer, and a colleague's computer is placed right behind you, you get hit twice by the PEMR.
3. A computer or TV screen that is switched off continues to radiate for several hours afterward, even if you pull the plug.
4. In view of these facts, it is recommended that you do not place a non-protected CRT-based VDT in a bedroom, a child's room, your workplace (if you can), a vehicle, behind a wall next to a bedroom, a living room, a hospital room, etc.
5. In all these situations, the next best choice is to protect yourself by installing an EMF-Bioshield® set on each video display terminal (computer or TV) in your house or office.
Our cells are affected
Several other problems have also been observed in people who spend more than four hours a day in close proximity to an unprotected VDT: stress, headaches, irritability, insomnia, eye strain, eyesight decline, abnormal general fatigue, decrease in productivity and in the natural resistance of the immune system, decline in libido, disorders in the menstrual cycle, and hormonal disturbances.
Even more disturbing is the fact that exposure to PEMR appears to be one of the causes of decrease in spermatogenesis. In rats, it has been proven that after being exposed to the radiation of cathode ray tube screens at a prepubescent stage, their neuro-endocrine development was severely affected. Many adult rats ended up sterile and their secretion of melatonin was significantly reduced.
An experiment carried out in Europe in 1998, published at the IEEE/EMBS World Congress in the same year, established that cultures of human testicular tissue, exposed to a CRT screen with ‘Low Radiation’ standard for twenty-four hours, have a cellular apoptosis (mortality) and sclerosis (degeneration) rate 300% greater than that of an unexposed control culture of the same human tissue, as well as that of an identical culture exposed to a similar computer screen equipped with the EMF-Bioshield® protection device.
We should remember that in the 1950s, couples worried about how not to have children. Today, many couples worry about how to have children. The cause of this distressing condition could be linked to the daily over-exposure to the PEMR generated by computer and TV screens.

Except for your eyes, and inactivity, why would it be bad for your health?

May be for the eye sight ..yes..or may be to the joints..but no other safety problem I guess....

cant be to harmful i have been on here a number of yrs at least 10 lol...sometimes when i have a headache looking at the screen does hurt my eyes but as far as perm. harmful i seriously doubt

It is harmful for our eyes, causes backpain, spondylitis, headaches and also obesity.

I do not see how it could be too beneficial physically...the eyes can be bothered after extended periods, not to mention most people are probably using a posture that is not grwat for the back and if you read on most keyboards extended use and non-proper posture can lead to injury and things like carpal tunnel syndrome ect. ect....
I use a lap top computer and sometimes balance it on my leg...can get quite hot...and I wonder if it is going to make my privates shrink..ha

i am crazy abt computer.but it harms by spoiling my regular routine.just for instance,i have to sybmit my assignment to my college by wednesday otherwise i have to pay fine,but then alos i am surfing the net than writing my assignments.its ridiculous no?i think it also damages my eys also.

causes insomnia and carpal tunnel but not that harmful if used properly
