As a young doctor, Howard’s family was growing, so they decided to buy a house.
One of the houses they were looking at was across some high-voltage power lines.
So before purchasing the house, Howard called the government to come over and measure the electromagnetic fields.
The guy turned up with a gaussmeter and went under the power lines.
He got a reading of 1110 milligauss (uber high).
As they started walking from the power lines, to about 75 feet, there was a sudden drop-off to 1.1 milligauss.
Howard had done some research.
He’d read the (landmark) 1979 study that showed a doubling in the incidents of leukemia and brain cancer within 141 feet of a transformer box and things of this nature.
But this was 1.1 milligauss.
“They say 2 milligauss can penetrate the body”, say’s Dr Howard.
So they drove a mile away.
Weird—it seemed like there was 1.1 milligauss of radiation everywhere.
So he realized the house they were wanting to buy was ‘okay’ despite the fact that he could see the powerlines, because the EMFs dropped off.
And this is how Howard became interested in EMFs.
Really from very early on he was looking at every aspect of health and trying to consider every aspect of health in anti-aging medicine.
