in Chronic Illness

25.1 INTRODUCTION
Most of the research on the potentially harmful effects of nonionizing radiation falls within two
parts of the electromagnetic spectrum: extremely low-frequency-electromagnetic elds (ELF-
EMF) and radiofrequency radiation (RFR). Very little attention has been paid to intermediate
frequencies (IFs) that fall within the frequency range of 300Hz to 10MHz according to the
World Health Organization (2005) despite the fact that IFs are now ubiquitous in our environ-
ment (Graham, 2000).
