Peter Cowan | The 49ers Substation Story, EMF, & Light Health

Feb 20, 2026

Peter Cowan, a quantum biology practitioner and creator of the Sunlight Is Life app, unpacks the 49ers substation EMF story. He shares on-site measurement tales and health threshold comparisons. He links tendon injuries, mitochondrial effects, and cellular water to electromagnetic exposure. He also outlines practical light-health tools and where to follow ongoing measurements.

INSIGHT

Unusually Close Substation Near 49ers Facility

The 49ers training facility sits unusually close to a massive electrical substation that could uniquely affect the team.
Peter Cowan argues this proximity creates an uncommon variable correlating with frequent collagen-based injuries.

ANECDOTE

On-Site Meter Readings With His Father

Peter visited the site with his electrical-engineer father and took gauss meter readings near the fence despite limited access and guards.
He recorded values around 8.9 milligauss on a non-peak day, suggesting routine exposure could be higher during use.

INSIGHT

European Exposure Limits Vs Measured Levels

European residential limits often cap magnetic fields around 4 milligauss due to studies linking ~3 mG to childhood leukemia.
Readings around 8-15 mG exceed those guidelines and warrant concern for frequent occupational exposure.

Going Somewhere

Truth About a Life in Science

Andrew A. Marino

Going Somewhere is a dynamic autobiographical narrative about Andrew Marino's career in science. The book delves into a wide range of science-related matters, including the relation between electrical energy and life, the influence of corporate and military power on science, the role of self-interest in federal and state agencies dealing with human health, and the importance of cross-examining scientific experts in legal hearings. It also discusses the erroneous view of nature resulting from extending the perspective of physics into biology and the pivotal role of deterministic chaos theory in cognitive processes. The narrative arises from Marino's scientific and legal activities involving the debate over the health risks of man-made environmental electromagnetic fields, offering insights into how science actually works and its inherent uncertainties.

The body electric

Robert O. Becker

Robert O. Becker's "The Body Electric" explores the often-overlooked electrical nature of living organisms. Becker details his groundbreaking research on the body's electrical system and its role in healing and regeneration. He challenges conventional medical understanding by demonstrating the importance of direct current in biological processes. The book delves into the implications of electromagnetic fields on health, highlighting the potential risks of exposure to certain frequencies. Becker's work has influenced the field of bioelectromagnetics and continues to inspire research into alternative healing methods.
