During 1967-68 I was on special assignment with a large aerospace firm on an advanced research project, high in security. While on that project, I found myself conjuring up some questions as to the effect on human physiology when a human is placed in the extreme low – density magnetic fields of outer space – outer meaning beyond the radiation belts – such as astronauts encounter halfway between the Earth and our Moon. On my own time I worked with molecular structure of proteins in the human body, and on the possibility of the low-density magnetic field environment having a carcinogenic (cancer-generating) effect.

It only took me a few weeks, and I arrived at two conclusions: first, the protein structure such as in the muscles and connective tissues would literally come apart after about three months in that environment; and second, in the same duration of time any person in that environment would be subjected to a general malignancy – cancer – from head to toes. I wrote a brief paper on the results of my study and submitted it to my supervisor. It was filed away and ultimately forgotten, and I was informed that it was not within the responsibilities of my task with the company.

In 1968 there was an article on the front 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 batch full 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.

I was so shocked to learn that my conceptual work had been verified by experimental work that I immediately made a telephone call to the two scientists. They were equally shocked to learn of my work, and surprised that I knew why their results had occurred. My supervisor was also shocked at the accuracy of my predictions. The scientists invited me to Hahnemann Medical College to spend a week with them; my company cheerfully paid my traveling expenses.

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.
