Hi this is a little off subject but I think this site may have somebody who may have done some research. I lost my mother to adenocarcinoma on 10-17-09. She had an extremely short battle as we only found out about a mass 0n 9/11/09, after a month of back pain. We are now in the process of settling her estate and deciding what to do with her home. My brother and sister do not want to buy her house, and I am interested, but am concerned about the high tension electrical wires in her that run over her back yard. These have been mentioned by friends a few times, as both my parents died of cancer at relatively young ages (59 and 68) Does anyone have any input? I hate the thought of giving up her house but I have small children to consider. Thank you.

Hi Debbie,
According to information that I have read on Radon it says that radon is a gas that is emmited into the air from crushed rocks around the foundation and basement. I am sure that you have been to the web to find out more information. You can have your home tested for a small fee. I would definately do that as you will never be at peace in that house until you find out for sure..
The problem seems to be these days that the media is so full of MOE that we never know if what they are telling us as a fact is FACT or HYPE.
I grew up in the midwest and everyday about 4 o'clock in the afternoon I would get extremely tired and I often remarked that I felt as though I were being gassed.
My Mother ended up getting cancer (not lung) and eventually she died. I have had lung cancer surgery 3 times and also non hodgkins lymphoma. All this in the past 5 years. A result of radon? We will never know as my Father has not had his home tested. ...Birdy

Radon is one thing -- it's a major cause of lung cancer. It can also be treated for and the home treated.
Wires is something else. Back when I was last looking, a real estate agent took me to a home with wires nearby and I wouldn't even look at it -- no way. Cancer or no, the body is electric and we want to minimize, not maximize, outside interference.
It's hard to give up a family legacy, but a legacy of cancer is not one you want to pass on. Take the belongings and make a different home home. Stay away from the wires, JMOHO.

I am by no means very knowledgeable on the subject of energy, but I do know that the human body is made of layers of energy. Displaced energy is said to corrupt the cellular DNA... and then it is a chain reaction.
I wouldn't live anywhere near those electrical lines...

Radon is the second cause of lung cancer. My husband just said you should beable to find proof that High Tension Wires cause cancer. He remembers many moons ago hearing they did. I remember hearing that too. But for SURE Radon is the Second Cause of lung cancer. As do many things we breathe and eat. It's not just a smokers disease and never has been. People have been and still are being lied to about lung cancer.
Best wishes,
Connie
