In 1968 there was an article on the first page of the Los Angeles Times about two scientists at Hahnemann Medical College who had wondered about the same thing as I – only they decided to find the answer through experimentation with mice. They put a batchful (sic) of mice, all genetically of the same strain, in aluminum cylinders, about six inches or so in diameter, half in a magnetic field environment the same as we live in, and the other half in a magnetic field environment equivalent to being halfway between the Earth and our Moon. Both sets of cylinders had the same physical environment, the same number of male and female mice, the same food, the same lighting, the same play environment, and the same water supply. After three months the mice in the low-density cylinders all suffered the same effects: first, they all simply came apart, all in their protein structure; and second, over 35% suffered visible cancers which could be considered head-to-toes. No analysis was made of internal cancers.
During my conferences with them in Philadelphia, they told me that there was something which was not released to the press, and was not generally known. They hoped I could help them with reasons for these results, which disturbed them.
The first thing they told me was that the mice turned criminal in their low-density magnetic field environment.
“Criminal!?” I exclaimed. “How in the dickens do you tell when a mouse turns criminal?” I asked.
“Very simple,” was the answer. “There are basic end-cruelties for almost all mammals; mice and humans are not exception. Cannibalism is the ultimate cruelty, and they turned cannibalistic. Even though they had plenty of the same food as the mice in the normal magnetic field strength cylinders, they indulged in cannibalism as a preference. The mice in the normal cylinders treated each other normally – and ate only their normal food.” He paused a moment.
