In the 1970s, I reproduced and confirmed some of John Ott's
pioneering experimental work on the negative effects of fluorescent
lights on growing plants. Years later, we corresponded and I
helped him to produce and make publicly available a VHS version of the
movie he always showed at his lectures - "Exploring the
Spectrum: The Effects of Natural and Artificial Light on Living
Organisms". This same 80-minute video is now
available as a DVD, remastered from Dr. Ott's original films with much
better quality than the VHS version. Below is the standard blurb
about it, and it can be ordered online from Natural Energy

Do fluorescent
lights cause cancer and childhood learning and behavior disorders? Can
long-term exposure to low-level radiation as from TV sets, computers,
fluorescent lights, and similar devices harm your health? Does living
behind window glass and with glasses covering our eyes over years
affect our health? Is natural sunlight and trace ultra-violet
radiation really harmful to our health? Or is it necessary and
beneficial? How do cells, plants and animals respond to constant
exposure to different light color frequencies? Does
mal-illumination and electrosmog create nervous agitation and a
weakened immune system? These and similar questions were the subject
of Dr. John Nash Ott's pioneering investigations in the field of
photobiology, using the methods of time-lapse photography. In an era
of increasing low-level electromagnetic pollution, where everyone is
"wired up" to the internet 24/7, and even children have the
latest cell phones, iPods, blueberrys and other Wi-Fi gizmos, with
eyeballs glued to display screens, Dr. Ott shows we are paying the
price with our health and biology. Our indoor lifestyles and chronic
wearing of UV-blocking eye-glasses and contact lenses additionally has
deprived us of biologically-necessary natural trace-ultraviolet and
bluer frequencies of light, with an irrational and nearly
superstitious fear of natural sunlight. Dr. Ott's time-lapse movies,
reproduced here, show how plants and animals are deeply affected in
movement, growth, form and sexual behavior, by these significant
bioenergetic changes in our natural living conditions. This is a
wonderful video showing Dr. Ott's original film sequences, including
entire plants growing from a seed to fruit in less than a minute. A
fascinating nature study for both adults and children!
Dr. Ott founded Ott Pictures, and the Environmental Health and Light Research Institute in Sarasota, Florida. Many of the time-lapse sequences in several of the late Walt Disney's films, such as Secrets of Life and Nature's Half Acre are the work of John Ott, as well as the time-lapse sequences in Paramount's production On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.
80 minutes, with humorous introduction.
Digitally
remastered from Dr. Ott's original films with a much better quality
than the old VHS version!
