The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life

I am electrically sensitive and this book helped me to realize that I an not alone! sensitvities to light, sound, EM fields, skin problems etc. This book sheds light on the problems of 5g on oir health.

Firstenberg's 'Invisible Rainbow', in addition to being a fascinating read from a historical perspective, is much more than a mere telling of the history of electricity. Stunning in it's scope, it constitutes an absolutely devastating, paradigm-shattering critique of man's obsession with modern technology, right up there with Jerry Mander's 'In the Absence Of the Sacred'. The book is extremely well researched and copiously referenced with an index of over 145 pages of cited source material. In it you'll learn of the well documented but heretofore untold links between electromagnetic pollution and the 'big three' killers – diabetes, cancer, and heart disease, which as the author notes, barely warranted a reference in pre-industrial medical texts. You'll also learn about the last country to adopt an electrical grid – Bhutan, whose populous was still traveling mostly by horseback as late as the 1990's, and the profound effect this sudden adoption on a wide scale of the countries electrical infrastructure has had on it's people's health in just a few short decades. You'll see how and why it is the ever-growing sea of artificial electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) the world is now swimming in, and not climate change as it is assumed, that is the greater culprit behind the growing loss of biodiversity, including phenomena such as bee colony collapse disorder. One only hopes enough people are ready to hear and comprehend that in order to save the bees, along with perhaps all life on the planet including ourselves, it will be necessary to temper if not altogether abandon the love affair with our electronic gadgets, even as society is hurtling toward 'Smart Cities' and the 'Internet Of Things'. It's a stark reality, but one that must be confronted, and now. Just as ignorance can no longer be claimed over the dangers of Big Tobacco or toxic pesticides, so too must society as a whole come to grips with this. The Invisible Rainbow stands out as a giant contribution toward that end and deserves to be as widely read as possible.

*"The Invisible Rainbow" by Arthur Firstenberg is a fascinating exploration of the history of electricity and its profound effects on living beings and the environment. Thought-provoking and meticulously researched, this book connects the dots between technological advancements and their unintended consequences. A must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of science, health, and nature.*

WOW! I recommend this book to everyone! The author explains things in a way that is easily understandable. There's a ton of information. He provides a large index to cross check his hundreds of sources. Most of all, the author will open the readers eyes to the modern-day dangers saturating every part of our world. Are your flu symptoms really coming from a virus? Heart disease? Diabetes?

Ignore the 1-star reviews that shout “Bogus! Unproven! Correlation doesn’t mean causation!” This book has references that fill 1/4 of its volume. Support your hysteric “bogus” claims with this much amount of reference, then maybe I will believe that you’re not just parroting ignorant “facts” you learned from Wikipedia. This book is very well written, talks about the history of vitally important subjects, facts about electricity, radio, its relationship to human body and life that none of us even the well educated ones ever heard about, because our education is not based on real science but on dogma and perverted knowledge that’s convenient for money and power seeking agencies. This book provides quotes from the 19th century doctors and scientists that exemplify true scientific method and questioning, gathering of data and building of hypothesis that is not dependent on profit seeking. That kind of environment is almost completely gone today, hence you have the “debunked!” “Fake science!” and such voices from the ignorant crowd kept in ignorance by their masters. Shame! This book is a must read for any person who likes to use his/her brain! We must know the truth. The truth will make us stronger.

Fascinating book that brings attention to a much needed field of study. Very educational and historical which was enjoyable. However, there are some wild claims that lack evidence. The author may have an ideological bend that skews some of his perspectives leading him into confirmation bias a bit. Still, a thoroughly enjoyable and well-written book, but some claims need to be verified or discarded completely.

This book is amazing piece of work with 139 page bibliography of doctors and scientists to back up there claims. This book is the real deal! You want to have that ah ha moment and realize that electricity is responsible for the majority of health ailments and you are just not being told the truth. In my opinion the truth is being suppressed so that big pharma can benefit of your ailments while they treat you with meds you don’t need. Yes meds help to relieve your symptoms quicker but it doesn’t address the cause of why you got it in the first place. Always treat the symptoms instead of trying to figure out why you got them in the first place! But it’s not the doctors fault. The doctors are good people It’s just the powers that be who disregarded the finding of the past and swept it under the rug. Then create new guidelines to treat diseases. Here is one for you. If your suffering from something take two saws and cut down a telecommunications pole! Ha ha just kidding. Peace and love to everyone even the people who bash this book. Knowledge is power!! Update: now I was debating about sharing this but I’m going to. When I was younger I was diagnosed with adhd because I was not focused and always falling asleep in school. Granted this could be a lot of kids who are young and could be anything, true. Fast forward to 1990 my junior year in high school. I had a very bad year! I suffered from headaches, passing out and having seizures. Three times this happened. One time I remember I woke up being rushed down in a in a wheelchair with a nurse saying “still no pulse.” Remembering that it felt like I was sucking on a piece of aluminum. They diagnosed me with hypoglycemia. That same year I woke up for school with migraines and I couldn’t move my neck or back. So off I went to hospital again and here comes the spinal tap, the results were nothing. Had tests for my migraines and nothing Constant nosebleed for no reasons and till this day I still have bad tinnitus in both ears. I always had trouble focusing in school and and feeling lethargic and no matter how hard I studied I had troubles. Fast forward again to 2002 I was back in hospital for physical therapy for back and neck spasms again. Now I got to admit in 2010 I really didn’t have to many issues that year and I’m not sure why but I was not in the same area that year. I was in a different state. Now let’s fast forward to Jan of 2020. This year has been bad again for me. In the beginning of year I got real sick again! Cold sweats, insomnia, headaches, fatigue, muscle cramps and pain in muscles. Difficulty breathing, chest pain, nausea, stomach issues, constant backaches and once again still tinnitus. I had bloodwork done, a scope of stomach all came back neg! This happened in Jan and again in March. Now what if I were to tell you that all these dates coincide with the rollout with the next generation of 1g, 2g, 3g not sure about 4g and then now there is 5g. Now in the news and even on this post you are being told that just because you have experiences in your life doesn’t mean causation which is true however, it doesn’t rule it out either. So if everything always comes out negative and the rollout of the next generation of wireless coincides with all your ailments let me ask you something. What would you think it is?? By the way if you haven’t read the book I’ll tell you that these are all symptoms of background radiation. I believe my inquisitive mind and god lead me to this book. I also don’t believe in coincidences like this. Everything happens for a reason.

Read this book at your own peril. It is one of those books that frankly I wish I had never heard about but being the inquisitive mind that I am, I bought it and read it and now am even more concerned about the future of my children and grand children than I was. A technology that is sickening the world population, destroying the environment and between it and what they are doing with the aerosol spraying leaves you with a feeling of dread. Especially since there seems to be nothing WE THE PEOPLE can really do about it! After all, it makes money for THEM and they don't care about us or even themselves! I think the Amish really do have it figured out.
