Curiously, the cancer rate is 10 percent higher in the left breast than in the right. This left-side bias holds true for both men and women and it also applies to the skin cancer melanoma.

The researchers suggest an explanation based on differences in sleeping habits in Japan and Western countries. [...] The futons used for sleeping in Japan are mattresses placed directly on the bedroom floor, in contrast to the elevated box springs and mattress of beds used in the West. A link between bedroom furniture and cancer seems absurd, but this, the researchers say, could the answer.

In the U.S. bed frames and box springs are made of metal, and the length of a bed is half the wavelength of FM and TV transmissions that have been broadcasting since the late 1940s. In Japan most beds are not made of metal, and the TV broadcast system does not use the 87- to 108-megahertz frequency used in Western countries.Thus, as we sleep on our coil-spring mattresses, we are in effect sleeping on an antenna that amplifies the intensity of the broadcast FM/TV radiation. Asleep on these antennas, our bodies are exposed to the amplified electromagnetic radiation for a third of our life spans. As we slumber on a metal coil-spring mattress, a wave of electromagnetic radiation envelops our bodies so that the maximum strength of the field develops 75 centimeters above the mattress in the middle of our bodies. When sleeping on the right side, the body’s left side will thereby be exposed to field strength about twice as strong as what the right side absorbs.
So, the new meme is, Futons good, box springs & TVs bad?
@#19 go ahead and show me something newer that disproves what I posted.
I situate all my furniture outside of any resonant frequency paths.
HAH. My brother called me Retro for sleeping on a waterbed.
I still call BS
So buying a Sleep Number bed helps prevent cancer? It’s basically an air mattress on a plastic base. No metal at all.
Studies show that if this study was presented as fact on Fox News, three million people would believe it to be completely real, and unable to be convinced otherwise by the liberal media or anyone else.
The guy’s a complete fruitcake. There’s no science in this article whatsoever. Not one scrap.
S.
Why isn’t the “bullshit meter” graphic at the top of this post?
I think the photograph supports the theory. One of the subjects is already developing enlarged glands in the chest.
Why not just ground the bed frame, box-spring and mattress’ inner structure????
I like the right drive car theory better…
I guess I am safe. I sleep on a Select Comfort Mattress because Glenn Beck and Rush said to buy one. No metal is in my bed.
-idiots.
-that aside, if they are going to go mention eastern medicine (or traditions) and go the “energy route” for causality, it is more likely due the fact that the heart chakra is biased to the left on the body and screwing with it’s energy output and frequency (vibration) can manifest in immune system irregularities (of which is the primary cause for cancers.
the premise of EM waves helping to cause cancers, DNA destruction and the like is well documented in most sciences outside those slaved to westernized thinking. (Russians probably being the first to have heavily documented this back in the 50′s and 60′s.
-the overwhelming (health) data from all the radar operators in WWII put an exclamation point to it all)
-that they left out any mention of the body’s energy matrix and how easy it is to royally screw it up with radio waves, would have greatly enforced the studies credibility.
for all the nay sayers..i hope you HAVE noticed the large increase in studies coming out as of late, that are coupling EM waves to health.. (its called “warming your blind eyes up to the truth”) and before half of you break out the flame throwers, give a read to this research titled:
DNA Can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies – Russian DNA Discoveries
this is an old paper, but valid nontheless.
as i’ve mentioned some 4-5 other times in this blog, -buy the book The Body Electric by Robert O. Becker to *understand.* If you rather not understand and just want to know/cut to the chase, buy his book Cross Currents.
Becker was twice nominated for the Nobel Prize, but denied because he often spoke out against consensus science/medicine and especially, the dreaded peer review system. (search on maxwell’s+hammer+becker
for an insightful chapter from the end of Body Electric)
—
The reason people in the U.S. think of such studies as “BS” -is because the study of bio-electric, energy / electric medicine and the bodies electric potentials was pretty much been banned from universities since the early 1900′s. (look it up)
Why? -because it would replace 99% of all pharma/drugs in use today. the industry would hardly exist. (not to mention null and void *many* if not all, biological weapons.)
In it’s place..we have all been programmed to either laugh, ridicule or scream “were is the BS meter!!??” at it’s mere mention.
Deprogram yourself and get a clue. time is short.. You may wish to start here. (for those who like to start from the beginning 1st page is here)

I have been beating DU like a dead horse for the better part of two years with snippets and clues as to the complete BS that our (western) sciences are. the paper(s)linked above I found about a month+ ago and embody most of what i have researched over the past 5-7yrs. -and already translated to english to boot.
All of which led me to conclude what a complete sham almost everything we have been taught is. -we’re all backwards..my Mirror Image Rule applies.

For a further all encompassing peek into the all the scams being run on the American (ignorant) Public, where “frequency” is a key player, -may I introduce this rather well referenced case into evidence:
MIREILLE TORJMAN CASE vs FBI,CIA,NSA,DOJ,DoD
and may I add two thing:
1) “the law” states that as long as it’s called “research” -our lovely government may experiment on the U.S. public to it’s heart’s content and beyond, without any prior consent notice or knowledge to said public. in kind, it also allows you the public (or a corporation, as they are “people” too) {sic} -to bypass many laws and regulations. (remember that)
2) once again, clues for the curious. -some well documented frequencies that effect mind, body and spirit alike: http://lunarsight.com/freq.htm
2.5) -in light of all of the above, you had best hope “non-lethal” weapons do not become “all the rage” with governments (esp ours). -because save for “bean-bag” and other physical modalities / rounds, they ALL exploit the body’s responses to various frequencies.
Curiosity 101: (laws aside) kinda makes you wonder why they picked 2.45ghz (and 5.8GHZ) for the main Wi-Fi & Cordless phone center frequencies, -as these are the same frequencies used in microwave ovens.
-in the long term, the medical industry must love that rather “odd” coincidence.

So now I’ll be mentally calculating the RF wavelength corellary for every metal object I encounter- that’ll be good for my brain!
If you’re seriously worried about this you could run a green ground wire from some point on your bed frame and box to any nearby electrical outlet, and attach it to that center screw. That should ground the bed and make it radiate less or no RF energy. NOTE- Mac users DISREGARD this advice as you’ll inevitably attach that wire to the hot conductor instead of the ground, kill yourselves, and call your high-priced lawyers from beyond the grave on your damn iPhones and sue me.
Seems our buddy soundwash likes to spam all sorts of pages with his non-sense.

Really sad how disconnected from reality some people are.
Sounds like spurious correlation.

Leave the Cool Aid ALONE! Wait ’till you grow up.
What about water beds on wooden platforms? Been there for 40 years, only got cancer in my right lung.
My advice is to keep breathing and ignore most of what you see, hear or read about health.

PICK ONE.
Also, many the cellphones from 5-10 years ago WEREN’T COMPUTERS..
you are now carrying the EMF force of a computer STUCK to your ear, and MOST with a metal backing, to force MORE signal/frequencies DIRECTLY at your head.
@38
I choose the actual peer reviewed studies that list no correlation. Thanks for providing more evidence of my stance.
Looking through it they all basically all say there is no correlation or, there is no evidence of correlation so I’m not sure why you linked to that page.
