  • Smart Meters

    Smart Does NOT Mean Safe

    “Smart” meters are the gas, electric, water, propane, and solar utility meters being put on homes to replace the old analog meters. Smart meters emit high amounts of wi-fi radiation 24/7, and it goes through the walls and into our homes, schools, and businesses. There is an extensive literature database with an inventory of 38,224 publications and 6,994 summaries of individual scientific studies on the effects of electromagnetic fields. Smart is a marketing term used by industry to psychologically steer consumers to adopt these devices — inferring “smart” is a good choice when it is not. 

    “Smart” does not equal safe!

    Our bodies need a break from the wi-fi radiation we are constantly bathed in. Suppose smart meters and other devices are emitting radiation 24/7. In that case, it can be harmful to our cells, disrupt our circadian rhythm, and impair the required cell repair and regeneration while we sleep, which otherwise keeps us healthy.  The result is a toxic build-up that shows up sooner rather than later in some behavioral problems that look like ADD or Autism, sleep disruption, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, nausea, nosebleeds, skin rashes/flushing, and more.  The long-term accumulative effects may include cancers, infertility, genotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and more. *Biological and Health Affects

  • Potential Health Dangers Of The 5G Cell Phone Network

    Right now, U.S. wireless companies are installing hundreds of thousands of new antennas, and each one of these new antennas is a microwave transmitter.  If you live or work near one of these antennas, that means that you are literally being bombarded by microwave radiation on a constant basis, and once this entire network goes up nationwide it will be extremely difficult for anyone to get away from this radiation completely.  Some experts are warning us to consider the health implications before it is too late to do anything about it.

    According to CBS News, this new network is supposed to be “up to 100 times faster”, but it will also require that antennas be installed “closer to users than before”…

    The wireless industry is in a race to roll out 5G service. The network is supposed to be up to 100 times faster than current data speeds, but it requires cellphone tower equipment to be closer to users than before. Wireless companies in the U.S. say they’ll have to install about 300,000 new antennas – roughly equal to the total number of cell towers built over the past three decades. That’s causing outrage and alarm in some neighborhoods, as antennas go up around homes.

    They also are hearing from residents worried about possible long-term health risks. Until now, much of the cell equipment that emits radio-frequency energy has been housed on large towers typically kept hundreds of feet from homes. The new “small cell” technology uses far more antennas and transmitters that are smaller and lower-powered, but clustered closer together and lower to the ground.

    Unfortunately, very few people are talking about the potential danger that this nationwide network could pose, and those that do are often marginalized.

    That is why it was very surprising to find the following in a recent mainstream news article…

    “The cell towers are called small cell towers, but they are not so small when they are in your front yard,” said Donna Barron. She is protesting plans to convert light poles in her Montgomery County, Maryland, neighborhood into small cell sites.

    “This will cause cancer,” Barron said. She was one of several people who raised health concerns about the radiation emitted by the equipment at a government hearing last month.

    So is there scientific evidence that actually shows a link between cell phones and major diseases such as cancer?

    Well, a group of over 230 scientists has signed a document that is entitled “the International EMF Scientist Appeal”…

    More than 230 scientists from 41 nations — who have published over 2,000 peer-reviewed papers on electromagnetic fields and biology and health — have signed the International EMF Scientist Appeal.

    They cite “serious concerns” about “increasing exposure to EMF” based on “numerous recent scientific publications” linking low levels of wireless radiation to health effects.

    In that document, we are told that scientific research has shown that exposure to EMF can cause a whole host of health problems…

    Numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plant and animal life.

    These findings justify our appeal to the United Nations (UN) and, all member States in the world, to encourage the World Health Organization (WHO) to exert strong leadership in fostering the development of more protective EMF guidelines, encouraging precautionary measures, and educating the public about health risks, particularly risk to children and fetal development. By not taking action, the WHO is failing to fulfill its role as the preeminent international public health agency.

    Of course the cell phone industry disputes these claims and will fight against them to their dying breath.

    And according to federal law, local communities cannot even consider health concerns when deciding whether or not to put in cell phone antennas…

    However, according to federal law the city simply can’t consider health concerns. It’s outlined in a small section of the Telecommunications Act, based on science from 1996, back when we were still talking on cellphones that looked like bricks.

    “I find it really unfair,” said Hiestand.

    If cities do consider health, cell companies can sue them.

    Wow.

    This is another example that shows that it really does matter who we send to Congress.

    Some have compared the coming 5G network to being locked in a low level microwave oven 24 hours a day.

    If you don’t like the idea of that, unfortunately you don’t have a choice.  The 5G network is being rolled out nationwide right now, and the big phone companies have vastly more money and power than you and I do.

  • 31 Scientists Have Determined That Cell Towers Could Contribute To An Increased Risk Of Brain Cancer

    31 scientists have determined that cell towers could contribute to an increased risk of brain cancer. Electromagnetic waves cause sleep problems, tinnitus, chronic fatigue, headaches, concentration, memory, learning and immune system problems, heart palpitations. nausea, joint pain, swelling of face, neck, eye problems, rashes, and cancer in some individuals. With increase exposure, you or your children could suffer these symptoms as your body deteriorates under the constant barge of wireless radiation. We can not eliminate exposure to wi-fi. But it can be reduced and we should take responsibility to see that it is NOT increased. 

    Safety Concerns

    A 2011 article in IEEE Spectrum says that for the World Heath Organization, a working group of 31 scientists from 14 countries reviewed the latest research and classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields — from any source — as Group 2B, “possibly carcinogenic to humans based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer.” (source) Citing Studies completed from 2011 to 2018, Dr. Lennart Hardell and other members from that committee are calling to change RF Microwave radiation to Group 1 — a definite human carcinogen.

    Sensitivity Concerns

    Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) is the medical term for a set of health symptoms whose cause is electrically based. It is also called Electrical Sensitivity (ES), EMF injured, Microwave or Radiation Sickness, and other names. Vested industry interests are trying to control the public’s perception of EHS on Wikipedia by calling EHS pseudoscience, which is false, and harmful to people and the doctors trying to help them.  We are electromagnetic beings, and we are affected by electricity in our environment.  The increasing saturation of wireless radiation (cell towers, cell and cordless phones, wi-fi and smart meters) pollutes our air and living environments.  In order to maintain health and wellness prudent avoidance of EMF’s is advised. 

    EHS Symptoms can vary with each person, depending on:  the strength, type and length of EMF exposure; exposure to other environmental toxins; individual constitution; and basic health practices. Symptoms can be mild to severe including: sleep problems, tinnitus, chronic fatigue, headaches, concentration, memory, learning and immune system problems, heart palpitations. nausea, joint pain, swelling of face, neck, eye problems, rashes, and cancer. 

    In order to heal, reducing exposures is imperative. Please see Safety Tips for steps you can take to reduce EMF’s and start feeling better.

    “How to Find a Healthy Home” by Jeromy Johnson is a much needed, essential, and excellent primer for anyone interested in reducing EMF exposure in their current home, or for help finding a safer home to rent or buy.   http://www.emfanalysis.com/healthy-home/

    Personal Testimony

    Dr. Scott Eberle trained as a family physician, worked for nearly two decades as an AIDS specialist, and continues as a hospice medical director. After an episode of carbon monoxide poisoning in 2010, he began having symptoms that, in retrospect, were the initial onset of EHS. In 2013, his health plummeted until he finally figured out the cause. What’s the Diagnosis Doctor? was published in Sonoma Medicine in 2104. An Underworld Journey was published by Ecopsychology in 2017. See also: So You Think You Might Be Electrosensitive and Guidelines for Making a Home Radiowave Safe . Read more from Dr. Eberle here.

    Interviews with Electrosensitives: Electromagneticman 

    Guideline of the Austrian Medical Association for the diagnosis and treatment of EMF-related health problems and illnesses There has been a sharp rise in unspecific, often stress associated health problems that increasingly present physicians with the challenge of complex differential diagnosis. A cause that has been accorded little attention so far is increasing electrosmog exposure at home, at work and during leisure activities, occurring in addition to chronic stress in personal and working life. It correlates with an overall situation of chronic stress that can lead to burnout. How can physicians respond to this development?
