Comment The Cause -- Radiation (Score 2, Interesting) 279
There seems to be some confusion and misunderstanding as to the points in the article. First, VDT is a reference [late 80's - early 90's] to computer monitors [CRT's only].
The problem outside of those taken into account (namely posture and lack of exercise) is radiation given off by the CRT. A study/test was done with computer users (mostly programmers) working 8 hour shifts for 5 days, then testing the blood. Rouleaux was found of the blood that linked in fashion of that found in Alzheimer's Disease. The low-level radiation that caused this would even pass through lead. The symptoms are those described in the article.
The solution they found was sunlight. After the subjects spent the weekend outdoors, the condition disappeared.
Afterwards, the reserchers suggested exposure to sunlight, indirectly -- that is, partial or full shade or northern exposure. Another option is to use a full-spectrum, natural light, which you can buy from various companies including OTT-Lite. [www.ott-lite.com]
The research was headed by Dr. John Ott, who perfected time-lapse photography [Disney]. Dr. Ott was instrumental in having warnings and safety measures for radiation placed on televisions in the 1960's. He has demononstrated with different spectrums of light the growth, gender, and death of plants.
