A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN EHS SUFFERER

Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) is a relatively new term for an old illness. In the 50’s and 60’s the term used was “Radiation Poisoning” or Microwave Poisoning.” In short, it is the ill effects of wireless microwave radiation on the body. what you CAN’T SEE, can hurt you. I am living proof.

My days are spent trying to escape an overload of WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular, and assorted other wireless radiation transmissions. There really is nowhere to escape, I just have to find small places where it isn’t as prominent. Urban settings are nearly impossible. Rural is slightly better. Country and farmland is best, for now.

I mostly drive around in my car feeling for relief, and looking around at the environment while taking measurements on my various RF and electromagnetic meter devices. My term for it is “discharging.” I become so overloaded by the radiation that my eyes blur, I feel a crushing sensation in my chest, heart palpitations, stabbing pain in my feet, robbing and pulsating sensations all over my body, dizziness, and anxiety. It is shear hell. Its as if I have become allergic to the planet.

So many times I have ended up in the ER with multiple diagnoses except for what the true cause is … EHS. An debilitating sufferance in the presence of wireless radiation. By the way, most ER’s are even worse for me. The electronics and wireless equipment in Hospitals is brutal to me. Countless times I was convinced it would be my last hour alive. I was surely dying.

I can’t sleep, I can’t rest, I can’t NOT be in constant pain, and I can’t function as a normal person. And there is no escape, except perhaps an abandoned town somewhere in the wilderness … or, move to Green Bank, WV where nothing wireless is allowed. Not something that is easy to do when you have work and family.

You see, our bodies are effected deep down at the cellular level. I am extreme due to all my electronics cardiac implants and wiring, but there are millions worldwide who suffer these same symptoms, without the plants and wiring. Many times they are being misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia, MS, Diabetic Neuropathy, Cardiac problems, and a host of other symptoms that are shared by multiple diseases, and EHS.

In Europe, they are much more advanced about EHS and the negative effects of wireless technology. Even going so far as to having it removed in schools and hospitals, and considering it to be a national disability for those who suffer and cannot escape the barrage of waves that are everywhere today. Cell towers, smart meters, wifi, Bluetooth, smart appliance, GPS, among many other sources.

Thank you for reading this if you have some this far. This is very real. It is not a mental creation. Stay informed. Do not sleep with your cellphone on and in your bedroom. Turn OFF yourWiFi Router at night while you and your family sleep. If you have a smart meter, talk to your power company about an opt-out program and switch back to analog. Your health, and the health of your children depends on taking necessary precautions.

RECENT EVENTS

On December 28th 2012 the main cardiac pacer lead implanted inside of my body broke. This was a Medtronic FIDELIS lead and was a defective recalled pacer lead. I am 100% pacer dependent and I was in trouble. I was ambulated to Celebration Hospital to be stabilized and then transferred to Florida Hospital South in Downtown Orlando to their cardiac unit. I went into surgery and began a long journey of recovery. I also experienced an NDE in the first ambulance.

Two months later, I had to have a second procedure. This was a difficult operation called Left Epicardial Lead Placement. All my internal wiring had to be removed on the first surgery, and now new wiring would have to be added in an intricate procedure. I spent many days afterwards in ICU and have yet to recover fully. It's been nearly 5 years.

Since my last surgery, I have become Electro Hypersensitive (EHS) and am directly affected by the radiation and EMF signals being generated by the Smart Meter placed on my home by Duke Energy.

This service creates dirty electricity throughout my home, and transmits radiation up to 90,000 times per day. We have had testing done by independent building biology contractors and have contacted Duke Energy about this huge problem multiple times. We have left multiple messages with "Brenda" at Duke Energy and she has not returned our calls. They basically showed no interest and no care about my situation. There is no "opt-out" and we must have a Smart Meter. Now, after 16 years in my beautiful house, I am forced to sell it and move to an area away from Duke Energy and Smart Meters.

We are being radiated against our will with Smart Meters, WiFi, Cell towers, and multiple other wireless devices. These devices are adversely affecting my wire leads and implants As well as my overall health. Below, please find some links for more information.

Chapter 3

BACKGROUND AND BRIEF HISTORY

Dean Frank Tsutras

Born 12/16/1957 Williamson, WV ... grew up in Northern VA/Washington DC metro

Congenital heart block and arrhythmia/heart murmur

Thallasemia Minor

Sent to Johns Hopkins for research and treatment as a child and teen

Married at 20, father of 2, still married

Around September 1980, high fevers, very sick. Months later, diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever due to tick bite.

Chronic Lyme Disease 20+ years due to tick bite at a radio station.

Bells Palsy.

At age 36, I received my first pacemaker implant to supplement my own hearts abilities. Over time, I experienced several tachycardia episodes leading to several ablations. Some successful, some not. Ultimately, 100% pacer dependent. My natural organic heart pacer was lasered away.

12/2004 I was found to be in stage 3 cardiac failure. Ejection fraction was down to 19% and heart was enlarged. Went back to Virginia to my Electrophysiologist/Surgeon for electronics upgrade. New dual chamber pacer/defibrillator and cardio-resync implant ... also added 2 more wire leads totaling 3. A year and a half later, ejection fraction returned to 60% and heart no longer enlarged with help of Dr. Kirti Kalidas in Orlando.

May 5th 2012, while in St. Petersburg at a wedding I ended up in the hospital with Bells Palsy. Recovery took several weeks, and even still today I have slight symptoms from time to time.

On December 28th 2012, I was awakened with a defibrillator discharge. Then another one. We called 911. I was clearly in trouble. At Celebration Hospital, it was determined that my main pacing lead wire had broken. I was rushed from Florida Hospital Celebration, to the Florida Hospital South Cardiac Center in downtown Orlando for emergency surgery. They brought in a Cardio Thoracic Specialist, Dr. George Palmer III to handle the delicate procedure. He managed to do laser extraction on all my leads and replace the electronics but there was too much scar tissue to complete the procedure. I would need another procedure in two months. Until then I was on just one pacer/defib lead.

On March 1st, 2013, I went back in for surgery. This time for LV epicardial lead placement and and right atrial lead tunneling, among other things. This was a horrible process with much pain and recovery. Both procedures totaled 15 days in ICU and considerable recovery time. Things have never been the same since. It was very traumatic. I'm still tired a lot and I really do not sleep well since the surgeries. I can't get comfortable and I can't stay asleep. I can feel the wires and implants in me and it is uncomfortable. I feel as though my life has been ruined, by saving it.

New symptoms began to increase with each passing day. Today, the pain and suffering that I experience is at times unbearable. I literally feel as though I am dying. So much discomfort and pain from so many sources, and now, after much research, I find that I suffer from EHS, Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity. This is caused by wireless electromagnetic radiation that is constantly being emitted by WiFi, Smartmeters, Cellphones, Powerlines, and a myriad of other sources.

I ended up in Miami with Dr. Lonnie Herman and am now being treated using FCT energy testing with Dr. Savily Yurkovsky in NY (he trained Dr. Herman). Dr. Yurkovsky is a Cardiologist and a Scientist. He is well-versed with the negative effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMF/EMR) and the illnesses brought on by continuous exposure. Which brings me to the next section of my medical summary.

Over the last 4 1/2 years, my journey has become intolerable. All around us there are invisible wireless signals that are radiating everything in our environment. It has been proven that sources like WiFi, Bluetooth, Cell Phones, Cell Towers, and Power Company Smart Meters on our homes, along with close proximity to High-Voltage Power Lines are detrimental to the health of all living organisms. In the USA, we are far behind the awareness veil. Europe, as we as other countries overseas are not only better aware of the dangers, but already have scientific proof of the harm that is being caused by this technology.

It has taken me nearly 5 years, and tens of thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket medical costs to finally discover the source of my daily on-going pain and suffering. Granted, I have electronic medical cardiac implants as well as many wire leads and screws leading to the electronic functions of my heart, but this has only increased my awareness of what exists for everyone worldwide.

Doctors have diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, PTSD, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, MCS, Mold Poisoning, and a host of many other "diseases" that I can't even remember. I have seen Naturopaths, Homeopaths, Cardiologists, Electrophysiologists, Chiropractors, Acupuncturists, Psychiatrists, Psychotherapists, Counselors, Energy Healers, Shamans, and countless Spiritual Guides. There were so many diagnoses that I can't even remember them all. Through all of this, I eventually noticed one thing that always remained constant. Whenever I was away from an heavy dose of electromagnetic energy, my symptoms would decrease ... And at times ... Subside. I'm talking about WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular, High-Voltage Power Lines, and Smart Meters.

I don't have to be a doctor to conclude that symptoms of all the diseases I was diagnosed with, don't simply come and go depending on my environment. There had to be something else to this. Something that I was missing. Something that they were missing. Finally, I called a Building Biologist to come test my environment. Upon arrival, she could barely tolerate my environment herself. She presented a case full of electronic gear designed to search for invisible electromagnetic radiation in any environment. I was slowly being killed by Electromagnetic Fields (EMF's) ... WiFi, Smart Meters, Cellular activity, Power Lines, and multiple other sources from not only my house, but from the surrounding community. I was being cooked like food in a microwave. In fact, this is the same basic technology. And it is cooking all of us. Now imagine how much more at risk people like me are? People with implanted cardiac devices and multiple wire leads, screws, and the overall trauma of the multiple and ongoing surgical procedures.

My intolerance is growing exponentially. I find it more and more difficult to find a place of refuge. There are fewer and fewer safe-zones that are free and clear of these unnatural radiation sources. Near my house in Central Florida, there is only one place where I can safely "discharge." A large, treed, field behind the 3,000 acre Tupperware World Headquarters campus. Though there is one small cell tower nearby, I can find refuge from WiFi and Smart Meters. Not a one in range. Were it not for this place, I would surely be close to death ... And this is no exaggeration by any means. Think if you will for a moment of Superman. He has all his powers UNLESS he finds himself in the presence of Kryptonite. He first becomes weak, losing his physical and mental capacities. Eventually, if he is in this presence long enough ... He will die. This is how I feel. There is no other way to describe it.

To review some of my countless ongoing symptoms:

\- Chronic Lyme Disease, Bartonella, Babesiosis are all reactivated.

\- Pain in left arm ... Swelling in hand and fingers.

\- Continued surgical pain. Back, side, left arm, armpit, chest, wiring on both sides. Shakes and vibrating sensation inside.

\- Sleep problems. Discomfort. Position problems. Heart Arrythmia. Night sweats.

\- Burning - like a chemical burn - in my surgical areas and under and in left upper arm and side.

\- Sometimes a pulsing. Entire body pulses with each heart beat, and at times NOT in unison with heart beat patterns. Throbbing in back of neck and all over the back.

\- Bedtime arrhythmia. Left side and right side arrhythmia's and palpitations.

\- Feet pain - debilitating and excruciating ... feels like frostbite, and like the toes are going to break off. Toes on both feet numb on the outside, pain in the inside.

\- Anxiety type of uneasiness. Jitters and shakes. But not like anxiety/panic. More just unsteadiness and shaking.

\- Depersonalization and derealization.

\- Brain fog and confusion.

\- When going to bed, I have to slowly lay down and eventually ease myself flat. Also, if I lay on my right side, I get arrhythmia. If I lay on my left side, my implants crunch, pain in my side and ribs, and pain in my back. I also feel fluttering and pains in my side, my upper left arm on the inside (like a chemical burning) pain in my chest, sternum, and fluttering that moves around.

\- Dizziness and light-headed ... Very unsteady.

\- Blurred vision. Cloudiness in left eye.

\- Sharp pain in fingers.

\- Fear, anxiety, and panic attacks requiring at times hospitalization and ER treatment.

Currently, it is a day-to-day moment-to-moment challenge. It consumes my daily and nightly life. Soon, I will be heading back home to Virginia to find a safe spot in the country among the horses, cattle, and wide-open fields. For now, technology has not overpowered the farmlands as badly as it has urban and suburban communities. Cell Towers are inescapable no matter where you go ... But I can keep reasonably safe distance from the direct power that they emit. We are currently packing all of our possessions and will be selling our home of nearly 18 years and moving to the Virginia Countryside. I must escape this environment if I am to have hopes of ever healing and leading a normal life again. I just hope I can get up to Virginia ... before it's too late for me.

In short, I am now 59 and very frustrated. I can still smell and taste hospital. When I go into my bedroom it reminds me of the misery that I went through recovering from the surgeries. In addition, the effects of EMF pollution continue to damage my body. Wifi, cell towers, power lines, smart meters, etc. All causing great suffering. My life is 100% dependent on implanted electronic cardiac devices and will be for the rest of my natural life.

I am very well versed on Metaphysics, ancient wisdom, and matters of the triune nature of man. I am an ordained Universal Philosopher with the ULC & CSH. If were not for my strong will, and philosophical experiences, I probably would've given up by now. Spiritual Healers, Shaman, Accupuncture, Divine Energy Practitioners, Neuroplasticity trained Counselors, and so many other alternative avenues ... they have all been here to assist me. I seek daily for strength to continue to move through this journey and find refuge in order to begin healing. My sincerest thanks to all who have helped me along the way.

WHAT MATTERS

Looking at my life, I see so many wonderful things. An amazing wife, awesome kids and grandkids, I still have both my parents, a nice home, a reliable daily driver, a classic muscle car, I enjoyed an awesome run as a Top Market Radio Personality and for the last 20 years I have owned my own successful business and work from my home studio, and I also manage a few worthy investments here and there.

However, What I do not enjoy, is good health. Every day there's pain and suffering. Because of my electronic cardiac implants, multiple surgeries, internal wiring, and decades of working at radio station towers and transmitter sites, I have become Electromagnetically Hypersensitive. I'm negatively affected by WiFi, cell towers, Bluetooth, Smart Meters, and basically any wireless technology. I am also negatively affected by low-voltage electricity. To make matters even more complicated, I also suffer from Chronic Lyme Disease, Babesia, and Bartonella.

It's fun being me, and yet, it isn't. So then, why am I sharing these things with you? Because I want you to know what things are really important in your life. Have goals, achieve your dreams, help others, but most of all ... Take control of your own health. Do not rely on someone else to offer diagnosis and medicine to treat symptoms. Find the SOURCE of what ails you. Never give up. It is said a person who enjoys good health has a thousand dreams, but a who suffers Ill-health has but one.

If you feel good at this moment, cherish it. Experience all that you can in the present moment. Don't just look at the flowers ... Explore them. See the depth of colours, the texture, the folds of the petals, the arch of the stems, and the scent of nature's offering. Remain thankful in the on ferment of good health. Remember also that health is not just physical, but is also mental, emotional, and spiritual. The natural default for the human body is perfect health. We have altered this state with bad food choices, engineered foods, polluted water, and much misdiagnosis and improper treatment.

I continue to do what I can to repair my health daily, and win back my life. I had to take full charge of my own healthcare. I have explored not only standard Western Medicine options, but also Acupuncture, Holistic Treatments, Shamans, Divine Energy Healing, Naturopathic Medicine, and a host of other remedies and herbal treatments. It's been a very long road that has included many surgeries and procedures, ambulance rides, ER visits, and many days in ICU. I have even died in the back of an ambulance and got defibrillated back again ... Just to have more emergency surgery. In fact, I'm due for another surgery in a month or two. It's not something I'm looking forward too, but it must be done.

I even moved from my beautiful home of 16 years in Orlando, to a home in the Virginia countryside to escape the overload of too many EMF's (Electromagnetic Fields). Though it has certainly helped, it's far from perfect. But I'm working in it. I spent a lot of time driving out to the nearby farms and fields just to escape the pool of wireless radiation that we are all swimming in every day and everywhere.

WHAT IS EHS

Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity

Contributor to Adrenal Fatigue

By: Dr. Michael Lam, MD, MPH; Dr. Justin Lam, ABAAHP, FMNM

Introduction

electromagnetic hypersensitivity can be set off by a cell phoneThe disorder Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome, or EHS, is a physiological condition characterized by certain immunological and neurological symptoms. Exposure to electric or magnetic fields, as well as certain forms of electromagnetic radiation, precipitates the condition. Much of the electromagnetic radiation comes from common sources that surround us all the time.

Typically, someone afflicted by electromagnetic hypersensitivity shows a marked improvement in their health once they remove themselves from the cause, and in time, the symptoms might even vanish. Although the condition is not widely accepted as a medical diagnosis, many countries accept it as a functional impairment.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reviewed over thirty studies relating to electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Their finding was that, although electromagnetic hypersensitivity was real, and could have a disabling effect on people, the symptoms experienced could also be the result of pre-existing psychiatric problems or the result of stress due to worrying about the effects of electromagnetism.

Certain countries, however, such as Sweden, take the condition more seriously. The Swedish Association for the ElectroSensitive is an organization that both produces and distributes educational literature on electromagnetic sensitivity to Swedish residents in an effort to raise awareness about the condition. Australia and the United Kingdom have followed suit, and acceptance of the condition seems to be spreading, especially in Europe. In Paris, France, for instance, one library has reportedly turned off their WiFi after reports that their staff was contracting health problems.

We are permanently surrounded by an electromagnetic field. This is because the sun constantly bombards the earth with electromagnetic waves, and the earth reflects it right back. These waves are all around us and have been since the moment we were first conceived. The addition of manmade electromagnetic radiation, however, bombards us at ever-higher levels. This radiation is emitted everywhere in modern society: from television sets, appliances, cell phones, and even your home’s electrical wiring.

The biggest source, however, is WiFi. This is because the radio wave emitted by WiFi is either 2.4 gigahertz or 5 gigahertz. This is higher than your cell phone, because you hold that next to your ear. These high-frequency radio waves allow for the transmission of exceedingly large volumes of data, but they also emit much more electromagnetic radiation.

electromagnetic hypersensitivity data is available for those who seek it.Despite the current controversy on the matter, electromagnetic sensitivity first came to light in 1932. Erwin Schliephake, a German medical doctor, published data in a German magazine, the German Medical Weekly, in which he discussed what he termed ‘radio wave sickness’ or ‘microwave sickness.’ He also described the symptoms.

His work was supported over thirty years later by a Russian doctor, Zinaida Gordon. In 1966, she published a study of over one thousand people who worked in different fields where they were exposed to high levels of electromagnetic radiation. According to her, the symptoms intensified with prolonged exposure.

Her findings, as well as subsequent research by scientists in other countries, all point to the various, common symptoms experienced by people with electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Cancer was one of the symptoms included.

Effects of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome

Humans are electromagnetic beings. Your body conducts electricity and grounds the electromagnetic radiation that is present all around you. In fact, each cell in your body is made up of energy—electromagnetic energy. Similarly, everything around us is made up of the same. The problem, however, is the ‘new’ man-made frequencies we are being exposed to. Our bodies are simply not designed to cope with them.

FAQ: Are Your Signs of Fatigue and Exhaustion Inherited or Because of Something Else?

Let's find out if you have Adrenal Fatigue

A typical example of how this radiation affects us negatively is in the pineal gland, a tiny endocrine gland situated in the brain. This small gland, together with our eyes, are the organs most sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. The pineal gland also controls our body’s hormone levels, including melatonin. Low levels of melatonin have been linked to fibromyalgia as well as chronic tiredness, two conditions that are accompanied by sensitivities to chemicals and other environmental factors. When the pineal gland is placed under undue stress, it is unable to produce sufficient melatonin for the body’s needs. Constant bombardment by these electromagnetic waves at a frequency our body has difficulty coping with puts extra stress on the functioning of the pineal gland.

Constant exposure to these electromagnetic waves also causes excessive cellular vibration that can lead to muscle tension and a heightened stress level. The more intense and persistent this radiation, the more stressed the body becomes. The adrenal glands are kick-started to respond to this threat and your body goes into fight mode.

Joe Hall, the founder of Clarus Systems, in San Clemente, California, has been instrumental in exploring the effects of electromagnetic field radiation. He has found that when a number of people are taken to a remote location in nature and hooked up with EKG sensors, in order to record their stress levels and muscle tension, for a period of fifteen minutes, some were relaxed while others are stressed. If they were then subjected to electromagnetic stimulation such as they would encounter in a normal suburban home, they exhibited a physiological response. Their stress levels jumped. When the radiation level was increased by an additional three to five milligauss per square meter, such as would be the situation in a normal office environment, the jump in stress levels was even higher.

Stress symptoms can be brought on by electromagnetic hypersensitivityHall explains that this may be one of the reasons that many people do not like their jobs and why they find their work environments so stressful. Every electrical appliance, of whatever nature, that is added to your immediate environment adds to your physiological stress, pushing your body into survival mode. And once the body’s intrinsic anti-stress mechanisms have been overwhelmed, you begin a downward spiral.

Magnetic radiation is constantly passing through us, the sub-particles causing irritation to our limbic brain. The limbic brain then perceives this constant bombardment as a direct physical threat. This, in turn, results in an adrenal response through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) hormonal axis.

Those living in industrialized countries have an increased risk and weakened adrenal system due to a sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation. Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome (AFS) can be triggered as a result. What makes matters worse, is that children too are affected.

Signs and Symptoms of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome

The director of Electrical Sensitivity Network, Lucinda Grant, makes a direct comparison between electromagnetic hypersensitivity and chemical sensitivities, such as intolerances to perfume and gasoline. Chemical sensitivity was once also attributed to a psychological problem, much like most people now view sensitivity towards electromagnetic fields. The comparison, however, is quite apt in that both of these sensitivities are due to environmental factors.

Is Depression Contagious?

Let's find out if you have Adrenal Fatigue

It is certainly the case that those who are electromagnetically hypersensitive or who have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome also tend to have increased sensitivity towards chemicals. Those who experience mercury toxicity (usually due to dental amalgams) are also at a higher risk of developing a sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation.

This is because the electromagnetic field and chemicals both have an impact on your nervous system and the extracellular matrix (ECM). If your nervous system is already suffering due to toxic exposure, you may be more susceptible to the onslaught of electromagnetic radiation. The ECM is the space between the cells and is the cellular communications network. Like highways that connect our organs, it can be congested and become polluted with electromagnetic bombardment.

There are a number of symptoms that are quite common in those who show signs of electromagnetic hypersensitivity. These include:

Headaches: Most notably tension headaches.

Heart: Heart palpitations are common, as is a feeling of pressure in the chest.

Tinnitus: A constant ‘ringing’ in the ears.

Sleeping problems: Difficulty sleeping through the night or waking up tired.

Constant fatigue: No matter how much you may sleep you feel tired throughout the day.

Brain fog: You have difficulty remembering things and keeping focused (cognitive decline).

Skin problems: You may develop rashes, your skin may redden, or you may feel a tingling or burning sensation. These skin issues are usually prevalent on the face and arms.

Panic attacks: Panic may be accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, etc.

Seizures: Links have been established between certain electromagnetic frequencies and epilepsy.

Dizziness (frequently and/or unexpectedly).

Fatigue can be a symptom of electromagnetic hypersensitivityThose who have a hypersensitive reaction to electromagnetic radiation usually go through four phases of increasing severity.

First phase: This phase is usually accompanied by a few mild symptoms which include headaches and concentration problems, usually while working with any electronic equipment, such as a computer. Brain fog is a frequent complaint, along with mild anxiety.

Second phase: The symptoms last longer and may require medical attention.

Third phase: Symptoms are such that you require frequent absences from work. Headaches can become severe, accompanied by vomiting or dizziness. Heart palpitations can surface despite having a normal cardiac profile.

Fourth phase: You have an extremely adverse reaction to both indoor and outdoor electromagnetic pollution and are no longer able to go about freely. You might also be unable to continue working due to your exposure to electromagnetic radiation. You may be housebound or severely limited in your activities.

EHS AND ES - ELECTROSENSITIVITY

Dr. Katharina Johnson

Have you heard about the terms Electrosensitivity (ES) and Electrohypersensitivity (EHS)? Unfortunately, these terms may become ubiquitous as more and more people suffer the effects of constantly being exposed to man-made electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency (RF) radiation.

Electromagnetic fields and RF radiation stem from electronic devices such as cell phones, wireless (Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Max) networks, smart meters, computers, household appliances, baby phones, cordless phones, fluorescent lighting, electric blankets, household wiring and power lines, to name a few. Cell phone antennas/towers also emit Radiofrequency (RF) radiation. If you live in a city, chances are high that you have a cell phone antenna as an unwanted neighbor.

An excellent website where you can look up if you are close to an antenna is: www.antennasearch.com

The potential that wireless RF radiation can harm human beings has brought the World Health Organization (WHO) to recently classify RF radiation from cell phones as a Class 2B carcinogen, meaning it is a possible cancer-causing agent. This is the same categorization as lead, DDT, pesticides and chloroform.

The human body is not equipped to deal with the 24/7 onslaught of man-made EMF and RF radiation pollution that it is exposed to. Every day new wireless and electronic devices are added to this array of electromagnetic fields. Research has shown that these fields can influence the “Van der Walls” bonds that hold molecules in place causing stress and harm to the body.

Other effects of EMF/RF Radiation Exposure include:

Abnormal influx of calcium into cells, which can lead to and trigger allergic reactions.

Mitochondria dysfunction. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cells creating energy. This could explain the common link between fatigue and RF radiation exposure.

Depolarization of red blood cells, causing them to clump together and consequently carrying less oxygen.

Decreased number of Natural Killer Cells (white blood cells), weakening the immune system.

Weakening of the blood-brain barrier, causing toxins to enter the brain more readily.

Decrease of 5-HTP in the blood that can lead to depression

Induction of a stress response with elevated cortisol levels, causing hyperactivity and consequently weakening of the adrenals.

Altered production of Melatonin, causing sleep difficulties.

In Sweden, Electrosensitivity and Electrohypersensitivty are recognized diseases. Therefore Sweden has created “cell phone and Wi-Fi free” places where people can go to recover.

Research shows that approximately 3% of the population has severe forms of EHS and another 35% has moderate symptoms such as an impaired immune system and chronic illness.

Normally, symptoms occur when exposed to EMF (electromagnetic fields) and EMR (electromagnetic radiation) and subside when moving away from the fields. The problem is that over time the body gets more and more sensitive and symptoms occur when exposed to only small amounts of EMF/EMR.

This chart shows the stress response of the Autonomous Nervous System of a healthy person and an electrosensitive person when exposed to a DECT phone. (cordless phone).

What are the typical symptoms?

Headaches

Migraines

Vertigo

Insomnia

Fatigue

Brain Fog

Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)

Skin problems (rash)

Heart palpitations

Sore throat

Anxiety

Depression

Tingling in extremities

Infertility / low sperm count

Less common are:

Allergies

Light sensitivity

Nose bleeds

Frequent urination

Flu like symptoms and many more…

Since most physicians are not trained in EHS and are not aware of the problem, most likely he/she will not make a connection to EMF/EMR exposure and you will end up with a drug to mask your symptoms.

What can you do?

Most importantly: LIMIT YOUR EXPOSURE

Limit your cell phone usage to a minimum.

When talking on a cell phone, put it on speaker and hold it away from your head.

Use an air-tube headset when talking.

Turn off your home/office wireless network and use the old fashioned cables.

Ask your neighbors to turn off their wireless networks when they are not using the internet and especially when sleeping.

Remove cordless (DECT) phones in your home. (They emit an enormous amount of RF radiation).

Never carry your cell phone on your body.

Do not give a cell phone to your child (except for emergencies). Kids have thinner skulls and the radiation travels deep inside their brains.

Do not use your cell phone in the car. The car acts as a Farraday cage, trapping the radiation in the car and therefore increasing it.

Turn off the internet connection (3G/4G) on your smart phone (smart phones constantly are emitting RF radiation to search for a signal and to send/receive data).

Do not put your laptop on your lap and try to keep away from your body.

Switch out CFL light bulbs to standard ones – Yes, I am an environmentalist, but health comes first!

Unplug all electric devices in your house when not in use. (Appliances in stand by mode still create an electromagnetic field).

If you are in close proximity to several cell phone antennas – move to another place.

Remove dimmer switches/electric blankets.

Sleep in an electricity free bedroom.

Sleep on a metal free bed (Metal acts as a conductor).

Do not use a microwave oven.

Switch from electronic alarm clocks to battery powered.

DETOXIFY YOUR BODY

Do a targeted radiation detox (I can help with this)

Remove amalgam fillings in your teeth that contain mercury. Make sure you do this with a green certified dentist.

Detoxify your body from heavy metals. (Any metals in your body will act as a conductor. I can help you with designing a targeted heavy metal detox for you)

Remove all jewelry from your body (they also act as an conductor)

Instead of wearing glasses with a metal frame, wear contact lenses instead.

Take regular Epsom salt baths

Drink lots of clean/filtered water

Sweat as often as possible (Sweating will draw toxins out)

Exercise regularly

Do saunas twice a week. Infrared saunas are best.

Take walks on the beach (negatively charged irons will help you clear your system).

Only use organic cleaning supplies for cleaning your house and clothes (to reduce further toxic burden on the body).

Switch to organic make up.

Use non-fluoridated toothpaste (another toxin to avoid).

OPTIMIZE YOUR NUTRITIONAL INTAKE

Take a high quality mineral supplement (best taken in liquid form to enhance absorption rate) This will help in keeping your cell membranes strong.

Eat only organic vegetables and fruit

Avoid any processed foods

Do not drink sodas

Take Antioxidants supplements

Load up on B vitamins. They strengthen the nervous system

There are also companies out there that claim their products can remove unwanted electromagnetic radiation by using devices that you can plug into the electrical outlet to remove dirty electriticity. Others claim that their pendants will protect you from harm. Personally, I have not tested them and cannot give a recommendation. However, I did want to mention them.

The most important thing to do if you are experiencing electro-sensitivity related symptom, is to limit your exposure and to slowly bring your life into alignment with what your body needs. Our society has treated all of our new electrical gadgets as toys without understanding the consequences to our health. You can begin to shift this understanding.

My intention for this newsletter is to raise awareness on this important issue. Hopefully you feel inspired and motivated to implement some or all of the above suggestions to lead a more healthy and fulfilling life.

As always, I hope this information is useful to you and I am looking forward to your comments and questions.

In health,

Katharina

Chapter 7

EHS HISTORY

Our increased exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) is becoming a growing concern as most of us feel the need to surround our everyday lives in electrical and wireless technology. From the constant use of mobile phones while messaging, gaming and scrolling through social media to the dozens of appliances in our homes, we all run the risk of damaging our health and wellbeing while using these products.

The risk of EMF exposure symptoms is especially high for those with EHS. Electro-hypersensitivity (EHS) is a sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, resulting in negative symptoms that can impact your daily life. Many of us, although not aware of it, could be suffering from EHS.

EHS History

EHS was first recognized in 1932 by a German medical doctor named Erwin Schliephake. He published scientific data about his patients that were experiencing significant symptoms around radio towers. He named this condition “microwave sickness” or “radio wave sickness”. The EHS symptoms he witnessed included:

Headaches to the point of intolerability

Severe tiredness and fatigue during the day

Fitful sleep at night

High susceptibility to infection

In 1970, a report from the former Soviet Union described the "microwave syndrome" among military staff working with radio and radar equipment. These staff showed similar EMF exposure symptoms including dizziness, headaches, fatigue, sleep disturbances and problems with concentration and memory.

The same symptoms are reported in people all over the world, with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) being attributed to exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF).

The Situation Today

Many years ago, Doctor Erwin Schliephake knew that humans react negatively to long-term exposures to EMFs, though corporations and governments are still trying to deny it today.

A large portion of the general population now experiences one or more EHS symptoms. Maybe you've been complaining too often about feeling tired during the day and put it down to age or long hours at work. There's a very high chance that this tiredness could be a symptom of too much EMF exposure. 100% of the population is exposed to EMF pollution but most of us are doing nothing about it.

Of particular concern is involuntary exposure to EMFs from several sources. Most people are unaware of this type of exposure, because it has no color, smell, or visibility. There is an increasing concern that wireless use of laptops and iPads in schools, where some have even abandoned textbooks, will intensify the exposure to EMFs.

Are EMFs Harmful? Primary EHS Symptoms

Individuals with EHS will commonly experience the following EMF exposure symptoms:

Headaches

Tension headaches along the sides of the head and temple area

Heart palpitations and a pressure in the chest

Feeling that the heart wants to jump out of the chest while at the same time the chest is being stepped upon

Skin burning, redness, rashes and tingling particularly on the face and arms

Difficulty sleeping, including interrupted, light, or dreamless sleep

Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)

Fatigue and tiredness during the day (even after many hours of sleep, tiredness pervades the day)

Cognitive decline

Memory and concentration difficulties – a “brain fog” and feeling that one’s brain has aged 30 years in a short period of time

Secondary EHS Symptoms

Other less common EMF exposure symptoms reported by EHS individuals include:

Anxiety or tension within the body (often experienced as inner agitation that seemingly comes from nowhere. In retrospect, the person is near a cell phone tower, cordless phone or Wi-Fi router).

Inability to heal quickly from virus, bacterial and parasitic infections (because the immune system is already over-taxed).

Lightheadedness or vertigo

Temporary inability to speak coherently

Nausea

Mood-swings (the endocrine system, which governs our hormones, is highly affected by EMF pollution).

Arm, finger and leg twitching (involuntary finger movements when exposed to microwave radiation from radio towers)

Depression

Loss of productiveness

Sometimes referred to as the rapid aging disease.

LONG LIST OF EHS SYMPTOMS

Auditory Problems:

Ringing in the ears, tinnitus, can be one of the first signs that your cell phone is beginning to affect you. An unexpected earache, along with difficulty in keeping your balance are yet other indications that you are experiencing electromagnetic sensitivity.

Cognitive Difficulties:

As your head is directly on the ‘receiving end’ of a cell phone’s electromagnetic waves, the ability to remain mentally sharp and aware may be affected. Of course, as a lack of concentration and confusion result, it will be more difficult for you to associate the seemingly innocent cell phone with your problems. Memory will also suffer and learning new tasks will seem to take forever, due in part to an inability to concentrate.

Neurological Effects:

Neurological problems can mask themselves as other ailments, and linking them to your cell phone might be difficult. Suddenly developing dizziness and nausea without any discernable cause, as well as insomnia, might be ways that electromagnetic exposure is affecting you. If you seem to develop the flu when it is not flu season, this might also be a clue that your nervous system is starting to suffer.

Respiratory Problems:

It can sometimes be hard to distinguish between just getting a cold or flu, and when these symptoms arise from electromagnetic radiation from your cell phone. However, if coughing and throat problems persist, as well as sinusitis, or if you develop asthma out of the blue, your cell phone might be the reason.

Cardiovascular Problems:

No one needs to be told how serious problems with the heart can be. You may be suffering from electromagnetic hypersensitivity if you begin to notice that your heart rate has altered suddenly, or if you begin to experience chest pains. Shortness of breath and fluctuating blood pressure might also be signs that your body is reacting adversely to cell phone use.

Ophthalmologic Symptoms:

While many eye problems can come about from daily work, any that manifest themselves in a short period of time, when you had no difficulties before, might be traced to your cell phone. Gritty and smarting eyes, changed vision, and the development of ‘tics’ in the eyelid could will be the result of electromagnetic exposure.

Emotional Problems:

Quite often, physical problems are often accompanied by emotional ones. A change in your outlook, such as depression, anxiety, anger, and mood swings, could be because of radiation from your cell phone. Sudden crying jags and the feeling that you are losing control are unpleasant, and could be caused by the electromagnetic radiation entering your brain when you talk on your phone.

Musculoskeletal Difficulties:

We tend to take the ability to move freely for granted, so when anything occurs that causes an impairment to this, we notice it quickly. Weakness and spasms in the muscles, as well as pain in the joints all affect our movement. Electromagnetic sensitivity can also result in cramps in the legs or feet, and tremors in the extremities.

Dermatological Problems:

Problems with the skin might be one of the last things we might associate with electromagnetic sensitivity or hypersensitivity, but it is quite true that this can cause many skin conditions. The onset of severe acne, irritation, or rashes could be the result of cell phone use. If your face swells or flushes, you should consider cutting back on using your phone.

Genito-urinary Symptoms:

Any upsets in the genito-urinary tract will make themselves known quickly and uncomfortably. You may find yourself running to the bathroom with some urgency, which can be a real inconvenience at work or while traveling. A change for the worse in your sweat will signal a problem not only to you, but to others near you. Sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation can be the root of these problems.

Gastrointestinal Problems:

Associated with the symptoms mentioned directly above, electromagnetic sensitivity can also cause you to change your food preferences, as well as cause a change in your appetite. Certain foods that you have previously enjoyed may now upset your stomach or cause allergic reactions. The embarrassing development of flatulence could also be tied to the use of your cell phone.

Sensitization:

Electromagnetic sensitivity can cause problems with how your body reacts to the environment. Allergies might develop, and you can become sensitive to light, chemicals, smells, or noise. If these conditions arise after you have begun using a cell phone, the phone itself may be the reason.

LETTER TO CARDIOLOGIST/EP

Since my late 30's, I have had multiple ICD's (pacemaker, defibrillator, wire leads, resynchronization, etc.) and ablation surgeries and procedures to assist me with a birth defect in my heart. The last procedure in 2013, has left me with ongoing pain, weakened physical ability, and a very high level of electromagnetic hypersensitivity to environmental elements. These elements include WiFi, cellular towers and phones, Bluetooth, smart meters from the power companies, high-voltage power lines, and even basic low-frequency electrical wave currents at home and in public.

My entire career has been spent working on site at radio stations, broadcast networks, radio towers, radio transmitters, and recording studios. Currently, I work in my recording and production studio as a career professional Voice Talent and Producer. I have to limit my time in the studio due to exposure and negative effects on my implants ... affecting my overall health and well-being.

My symptoms range from severe cardiac arrhythmia, dizziness, blurred vision, neuropathy, vertigo, rashes, sexual dysfunction, headaches, ear aches, throbbing and pulsating sensations, sleepiness, and at times very high anxiety that have all involved multiple trips to the ER over the last four years. I have short-term memory loss, and countless other symptoms that have emerged since my last procedure. My wife even had to quite her job to stay home and help me. If she hadn’t quit, she would’ve been let go after she had received multiple warnings about her tardiness, and emergency calls from me.

At times, it feels as though I am dying. Each night when I go to bed, I don't know if I will wake. I have had to buy devices for my car, home, studio, and person to help protect me from the microwave radiation that causes me so many cardiac episodes. My bedroom has all of the breakers turned off ... No electricity at all. I read using a battery-operated lantern next to my chair. We recently had to sell our home of 16 years in Orlando to move back home to Northern Virginia to be closer to family and to a home in the country on some acreage with analog electric meters and less neighbors electronics to help me get some relief from my pain.

At this point in my life, my business has suffered greatly since I cannot spend much time around the studio doing my work. The negative and terrifying effects on my heart and other body functions is too great. It's scary enough to know that I am completely dependent on my implanted device to stay alive, but these ICD systems are at great risk in my work environment. I don't have any other options but to severely limit or stop doing what I have been doing for over 40 years.

My wife and daughter are now taking over the business as best they can to help me out from some of my responsibilities, and from losing everything.

I have even met with a Congressional Representative to discuss the effects of EMF/EMR on those with both implanted devices, and the general public. I am very concerned about the worldwide consequences of overexposure.

Thank you for understanding.

DISABILITY PLEA BY MY LAWYER

My Client is 100% dependent upon the pacer and defibrillator embedded in his body. Without them he would die. The wire leads that connect the pacer and defibrillator to his heart are affected by electronic waves all around him, including wireless devices, wired computers, microphones, monitors, etc.

When he comes close to them, the electronic waves run through the leads and create an electronic sensation that numbs him and acts like an electrocution. Working his job as a voice over actor and announcer puts him in constant contact with this equipment and totally disables him.

Being 100% pacer dependent, wire leads in his body that connect to his heart make him a CONDUCTOR of electrical waves from equipment used in his work, virtually ELECTROCUTING him each time he works

Upon entering into his house where his equipment is, Dean starts to feel vibrations through his body and swells along his extremities and face. He often has to go out for long drives just to stay away from close proximity of electrical waves.

DISABILITY LETTER

Since my late 30's, I have had multiple Implantable Cardiac Devices (ICD's- pacemaker, defibrillator, wire leads, resynchronization, etc.). I have also endured multiple ablation surgeries and procedures to assist me with a birth defect in my heart. The last procedure in 2013, has left me with ongoing pain, weakened physical ability, and a very high level of electromagnetic hypersensitivity to environmental elements. These elements include WiFi, cellular towers and phones, Bluetooth, smart meters from the power companies, high-voltage power lines, and even basic low-frequency electrical wave currents at home and in public that make me a virtual "conductor" of such electromagnetic forces.

My current work as a career professional Voice Talent and Producer must be performed in a recording studio with constant exposure to broadcast networks, radio transmitters, Bluetooth and both wired and wireless devices. Because of my sensitivity I have to limit my time in the studio because of the extent of exposure and negative effects on my implants ... affecting my overall health and well-being.

The symptoms I experience range from severe cardiac arrhythmia, dizziness, blurred vision, neuropathy, vertigo, and at times very high anxiety that have all involved multiple trips to the ER over the last four years. At times, it feels as though I am dying. Each night when I go to bed, I don't know if I will wake.

I have had to buy protective devices for my car, home, studio, and person to help protect me from the microwave radiation that causes me so many cardiac episodes. My bedroom has all of the breakers turned off ... No electricity at all. I read using a battery-operated lantern next to my chair. I soon will be moving to a log cabin in the Northern Virginia area to help me get some relief from my pain.

At this point in my life, my business has suffered greatly since I cannot spend much time around the studio doing my work. The negative and terrifying effects on my heart and other body functions is too great. It's scary enough to know that I am completely dependent on my implanted device to stay alive, but these ICD systems are at great risk in my work environment. I don't have any other options but to stop doing what I have been doing for nearly 40 years.

EVERYDAY DANGER AND HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EMF’S

Electromagnetic Radiation Effects On People From Everyday Electronics

The technologies we use today, from our everyday appliances, cell phones, even our cars, emit electromagnetic radiation & EM radiation that can penetrate and affect us, seriously compromising our health and disturbing our environments.

For years, scientists have conducted research linking EM radiation to serious diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and others. (See studies.)

After an extensive review of 2,000+ such studies, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences concluded EMFs “should be regarded as possible carcinogens.”

An international group of leading researchers recently came out stating, “the existing standards for public safety are completely inadequate to protect health.” (more on the Bioinitiative report below).

Forward-thinking nations around the world are starting to set stricter EMF safety limits.

Even the EPA now cautions you to “limit your exposure.”

Why Is EM Radiation Exposure So Dangerous?

EM Radiation Exposure EffectsYou may not realize it, but your own body uses electromagnetic fields to function properly. In fact, research has demonstrated that every cell in your body may have its own EMF.

In his book “The Body Electric,” researcher and author Robert Becker demonstrates that our cells actually communicate with each other via bioelectrical signals and electromagnetic fields. These natural EMFs help regulate important biochemical processes of all kinds. Maintaining balance in those cellular electromagnetic fields is crucial to your physical health.

What Are The Dangers Of EM Radiation To Humans?

Unfortunately, your body can also be influenced by the powerful artificial EM Radiation around you. That’s where the trouble starts.

How Does Harmful Electromagnetic Radiation Get Into Your Body?

When it comes to magnetic radiation (which is part of any EMF—see EMF explained for more on that), the body is as easily penetrated as air. This means if you are near a powerful EMF, electromagnetic radiation isn’t just around you, it’s inside you.

According to Dr. Becker, your body’s electrical signals are well within the range of those that can be stimulated by ambient radio waves, microwaves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. That harmful, unnatural type of stimulation can seriously impact your body.

EM Radiation Can Cause Health Chaos…

Artificial EMFs change the frequency of your body's electromagnetic fields through a process called entrainment (or sympathetic resonance). Entrainment is the tendency of an object to vibrate at the same frequency as something outside of it. In other words, powerful artificial EMFs overwhelm your body’s own electrical fields, changing their frequency and distorting the balance of the body's electromagnetic field and its communication systems. This causes physical, mental and emotional chaos.

The danger doesn’t always pass once you get away from the strong electromagnetic field. That’s because biological systems have been proven to store electromagnetic radiation within the cells in the form of electromagnetic oscillations. These oscillations can stubbornly remain inside you, wreaking havoc with your body’s most important processes.

Compounding this problem, metallic objects all around us act as antennae. These include electrical circuits, telephone wiring, water and gas pipes, even your keys and jewelry, which collect and re-radiate these disorienting energy waves.

The highest frequency energy waves (X-rays, gamma rays and others) can break chemical and molecular bonds, and can literally rip atoms apart, disrupting the basic biochemical structures of life.

The healthy human body resonates at around 10 hertz. Frequencies above that create biological stress, tissue damage and serious health problems.

Have There Been Any Electromagnetic Radiation Studies?

Yes. Thousands of studies worldwide have shown that overexposure to EMFs can lead to weakened immunities, lowered resistance to bacterial and viral infections and devastating illnesses like cancer.

The BioInitiative Working Group sounds the alarm

An International working group of leading scientists, researchers and public health policy professionals is bringing scientific concerns about the radiation to light.

Their 2007 report, the BioInitiative Report, concludes that the existing standards for public safety are completely inadequate to protect your health. The report includes studies showing evidence that electromagnetic fields:

Affects gene and protein expression (Transcriptomic and Proteomic Research)

Have Has genotoxic effects – RFR and ELF DNA damage

Induces stress response (Stress Proteins)

Affects immune function

Affects Neurology and behavior

Causes childhood cancers (Leukemia)

Impacts melatonin production; Alzheimer’s Disease; Breast Cancer

Promotes breast cancer (Melatonin links in laboratory and cell studies)

Chapter 13

IS YOUR FAMILY AT RISK?

The Little-Known Dangers of EMFs and How To Protect You and Your Family

Electromagnetic fields...it may sound like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, but they are VERY real.

In fact, Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can cause symptoms of illness in infants, children and adults, particularly those who already experience low immunity.

If you are sensitive to EMFs, you may experience symptoms like:

Nervous system symptoms, like fatigue, stress and sleep disturbances

Skin symptoms, like facial prickling, burning sensations and rashes

Body symptoms, like pains and aches in your muscles

Eye symptoms, such as burning sensations

Foggy thinking and depression

A variety of less common symptoms, like ear, nose, and throat symptoms and digestive disorders

Infertility

Leukemia in children, breast cancer or cancer clusters have been linked to high exposure to EMFs

What Are Electromagnetic Fields?

Electromagnetic fields are areas of energy that surround electronic devices. The World Health Organization (WHO) explains that the electric fields are created by differences in voltage and magnetic fields are created when the electric current flows.3 According to WHO, electromagnetic fields affect us because our human bodies have their own electric and biochemical responses (e.g., nervous system, digestion, brain function, heart function). So exposure to EMFs can interact with your body in adverse ways.

Where Do Electromagnetic Fields Come From?

Simply put, EMFs come from electricity:

In your home – DECT cordless phones, hairdryers, vacuums, refrigerators, microwave ovens, irons, televisions (the flat panel TVs are much better than the old box-style TVs), main ring and lighting circuits, dimmer switches, electric blankets, electric razors, electric toothbrushes, WiFi, etc.

In your office – computers, fluorescent or halogen lighting, fax machines, photocopiers, scanners, cell phones and WiFi.

Outside – power lines (high voltage cables either overhead or buried in the ground), transformers (the gray cylinders raised up on poles that look like trash cans), electrical substations, cell phone towers, cities that provide citywide wireless Internet (WiFi) and electromagnetic radiation from near neighbors’ electronic equipment.

Airplanes – to learn more, read: The Health Risks of Airplanes Going Wireless and How to Protect Yourself

Most of our modern-day conveniences emit EMFs, some stronger than others. So does this mean you have to go off the grid?

Not at all! But if you are serious about achieving and maintaining your best health, there are several steps you can take to minimize the effect EMFs have on you and your family.

Testing for Electromagnetic Fields in Your Home

If you or someone in your family is on a healing journey, chances are you want to give them the best foot forward to recover. Minimizing or eliminating EMFs is even more important in these situations because if immunity is already low, EMFs can make it harder to recover.

If you are feeling well already, EMFs may cause annoying symptoms, like insomnia or headaches, which get in the way of good health.

To find out what you can do to reduce or eliminate EMFs, we went straight to expert, Roy Riggs.

We first learned about Roy Riggs from a member of the Body Ecology team, who had Roy do an assessment on her home so that her family could reduce their exposure to EMFs.

Roy Riggs is a Geobiologist and professional dowser. Geobiology (also called Bau-biologie, which means Building Biology in Germany) is the science of specific location and disease and focuses on how your house and immediate environment can make you ill due to both electromagnetic and geopathic stress.

According to Roy, the biggest offenders in most homes are typically wireless Internet (WiFi) and cordless phones. Baby monitors, often in homes with newborns, also give off high EMFs. Key to Roy’s work is scientific testing of the electromagnetic fields.

When he does a home assessment, he shows his clients the difference between the earth’s healing electromagnetic fields and the EMFs that produce negative health results. He also tests each family member’s physical exposure to the EMFs in their home. From there, he works with them to create a plan to reduce EMFs.

Roy says, “I show my clients what happens by measuring their body voltage with the earth’s natural voltage. When you are outside, your body comes into resonance with the earth’s natural voltage. When you walk into your house, your body is actually the most conductive thing in your house, which means the EMFs are attracted right to you...and your voltage shoots up. My equipment shows that change.”

We can’t see or hear EMFs on our own, but with Roy’s scientific testing equipment, his clients can actually see how strong EMFs are AND hear the noise chaos that they create.

Roy has also been hired to assess homes prior to purchase, which is a great benefit because some homes have particularly high EMFs that are less easily controlled, like proximity to cell phone masts (towers), electricity substations, power lines or transformers.

Expert Tips from Roy Riggs: How to Reduce EMFs in Your Home Here are Roy’s expert tips to reduce EMFs in your home:

Cell phone towers (mobile phone masts) – Guideline: Look out your bedroom window. If there is a clear and unobstructed view of a cell phone tower facing your way within a distance of about 300 meters, you are advised to look into shielding solutions. If you live in the UK, Roy recommends www.emfields.org.

If you look out your window but can’t see the masts because they are obstructed by other buildings then the power density will be mainly absorbed by those buildings and too low to worry about.

Electrosmog from your neighbors – Use shielding paint on your shared walls or the walls nearest your neighbors.

Substations – substations are where electricity is generated, distributed and transformed form high to low or low to high voltage. They may be found outside enclosed in a cabinet, surrounded by a fence or up high on poles.

If the substation is immediately next to your home there is little in a practical sense you can do to reduce the magnetic fields. You could purchase or rent a meter in the UK or purchase an affordable TriField EX100 Meter in the US to check out the field levels.

Unless the substation is immediately adjacent to your house the EMFs from these small street substations fall to background levels within 5-6 meters.

Overhead electricity pylons (power lines) – As a very approximate guideline, EMF’s from power lines are likely to drop below 0.2 microtesla \[200 nanotesla] level at about:

492 feet from 400 kv lines

394 feet from 275 kv lines

328 feet from 132 kv lines

164 feet from 66 kv lines

98 feet from 33 kv lines

49 feet from 11 kv lines

There are several meters you can purchase to measure the fields from power lines near your home.

DECT cordless phones – Emit radiation 24 hours a day even when you are not using them. Instead, use ordinary landline phones. Or if you are addicted to cordless phones, you have a couple options. If you live in Europe, you may want to use the Orchid low radiation cordless phones or the Siemens Gigaset S675, which only emit a signal when you are using them.

If you live in the US or Canada, you may want to look into shielding devices to reduce EMFs from your cell phones, cordless phones and landline speaker phones.

WiFi – Along with DECT phones, WiFi is overwhelmingly the main contributor to household electro pollution with power densities far above any nearby mobile phone mast.

You don’t need WiFi in the home, school or office. A far more efficient and environmentally friendly set-up would be to buy a hard wired router such as a Linksys Cable/DSL Router or Netgear ADLS2 Modem Router with 4 port 10/100 Mbps Switch (DG834) together with a dLan High speed Ethernet Installation starter kit from www.devolo.com . This will enable you to route the internet signal through your house ring circuit enabling you to use as many computers a you want from any room with full internet connection without the WI-FI.

Sounds complicated but is surprisingly inexpensive simple to set up and use.

Digital Baby Alarms - Nearly all baby monitors are now digital. These alarms use the same technology as DECT cordless phones and will continuously pulsate microwave energy throughout the baby’s room and beyond.

If you go to my website: www.royriggs.co.uk and click on Baby Monitors on my home page you will find a couple of recommendations where you can still get non digital baby alarms, which do the same thing without the microwaves.

Transformers - The job of a transformer is to convert high voltage to low voltage. An example of this is a digital bedside alarm clock that only need 6 volts to operate, but is plugged into your 120 volt ring circuit (240 volts in the UK). The volts that it doesn’t need are radiated out as energy and heat.

Bedside clocks usually have the transformers inside the clock housing. Most others are usually black and look like big 3 point plugs and are hot to touch.

Make sure all transformers are at least two feet away from you body.

TV and computer screens - Best to change your old cathode-ray monitors (the ones with the deep backs) to any type of flat screen monitor as these give of far less electromagnetic fields than the old type, which thankfully you can’t buy any more.

Main ring & Lighting Circuits - Your body voltage is highest where you sleep. Naturally your body voltage should be in harmony and in equilibrium with the earth’s natural Schumann based electrical field, which is under 350 mV and normally stable at about 2 mV. Average person sleeps with a body voltage of about 2,500 mV or more.

Following all the above advice will make an immense difference to you and your families health. In addition to these great tips from Roy Riggs, you can also look into personal and home shielding solutions to protect you from EMFs in your home or outdoors.

We are grateful that there are professionals like Roy Riggs, who use science to help us heal from modern-day technology.

NEUROLOGICAL EFFECTS

A Basic Summary of the Neurological Effects of Radiofrequency Sickness

Utility companies nationwide are moving toward installing transmitting electrical, gas, and water meters at each customer’s service. The new digital meters being installed on electrical services are a type of meter being called “smart” meters because they can do time of day metering, keep very close track of energy usage, and potentially perform other functions. In the case of We Energies, and most other utilities, the “smart” meters selected are transmitting “smart” meters. The transmitting electrical rate meters We Energies is using transmit in strong bursts every 6 seconds 24 hours per day 7 days a week. The other utility meters also transmit similarly. This is potentially dangerous in the long-term for everyone; however, for people who already have radiofrequency sickness this exposure can cause disability nearly immediately.

Radiofrequency sickness results from overexposure to radiofrequency radiation. (See Appendix 1 for symptoms.) Radiofrequency sickness is not a disease. It is an environmentally induced functional impairment. Radiofrequency sickness has real and disabling consequences. People with radiofrequency sickness experience illness (or even death) upon exposure to radiofrequency radiation.1,2,3,4 The most common sources are electrical pollution – high frequencies that travel on building wiring – and transmitters – all wireless devices.

Detrimental biological effects, distinct from tissue heating effects, have been extensively documented in studies at a range of different frequencies and at levels below the current United States safety standard.5

Our current safety regulations are not designed to protect people from the non-thermal hazards posed by transmitting meters or other devices. The FCC “safety” guidelines are solely designed to protect a 6 ft 185 lb man from tissue heating during a short (6 minute) exposure. They are not designed to protect even a 6 ft man from biological effects during a continuous exposure.6,7 Exposures from transmitting utility meters and other transmitters are continuous, so these “safety” standards are meaningless.

Transmitting devices compliant with current safety standards should not be allowed to portray themselves as “safe”. The fact that these transmitters are represented as being “safe” because they comply with FCC guidelines is part of the reason that people are being required to have transmitting utility meters. Additional studies are now available. The data warrant complying with the precautionary principle and establishing lower exposure standards for safe levels of exposure for chronic exposures to radio frequency radiation for the population as a whole.8 Exposure is often involuntary. For instance, exposure to radiofrequency radiation from neighbors often causes sensitive people in town to be chronically ill, unable to recover.

Microwave and radiofrequency radiation are now being associated with attention deficit disorder, autism, sleep disorders, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy, as well as asthma, diabetes, malignant melanoma, breast cancer, and other illnesses that have become increasingly more common. Please see www.bioinitiative.org\* to read a 2007 review of the peer-reviewed science on the long-term risks of exposure to transmitted microwave and radio frequency radiation. Studies finding no health effects are predominantly industry funded.9 A report by Hallberg and Johansson10 published recently in Pathophysiology asks the provocative question about whether the recent (1997 and later) increase in exposure to microwave frequencies may be responsible for the recent decline in public health in Sweden. The data seem to say that public exposure to microwave frequencies is a likely culprit.

In addition to transmitting in strong bursts, transmitting “smart” meters can also overexpose the general population to high frequencies by putting high frequencies on home and building wiring, either deliberately through signaling or inadvertently through poor engineering. High frequency signals on power lines are also biologically active. Milham and Morgan found a dose-response relationship between high frequencies present on building wiring and cancer11. Recent analysis of historical epidemiological data indicates a relationship to cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and suicide12. Removing high frequencies on building wiring has improved MS symptoms, blood sugar levels, asthma, sleep quality, teacher health, student attentiveness, headaches, ADD, and numerous other health problems13,14,15.

Technical papers provide a solid electrical and biomolecular basis for these effects. A recent paper by Ozen showed that transients induce much stronger current density levels in the human body than does the powerline 60Hz signal16. A technical paper by Vignati and Giuliani discusses the authors’ findings that high frequency communication signals on power lines also induce much stronger electrical currents in the human body than a low frequency signal of the same strength17. The induced currents disturb normal intercellular communications. This causes harmful short-term and long-term effects. Additional information can be found on www.electricalpollution.com. Information necessary to properly measure the high frequencies causing these health problems can be found on the Technical page. A simple meter is also available that can provide accurate measurements of electrical pollution levels in most situations.

The precautionary principle dictates that only utility meters that do not increase public exposure to microwave and radiowave radiation and “dirty” power should be used while conservative standards to protect the health of the general population during continuous exposure are researched and established. Safe technology is available that can be used to perform the same functions as transmitting “smart” meters. There are non-transmitting meters that can do variable rates and meter both incoming and outgoing power. Meters can easily be engineered that do not put high frequencies on electrical wiring either inadvertently or deliberately, while still performing all necessary functions. Directly wired connections could be used to shut off key loads. Alternate technologies may cost a bit more up front, but the precautionary principle should apply. In fact, the Health Department in New Mexico agrees. They recently persuaded a local water utility to use wired connections between monitoring stations, instead of wireless, based on the precautionary principle. If you have questions, you can contact John McPhee, Childhood Injury Prevention Coordinator for the New Mexico Department of Health (505-827-2582).

The only “cure” for radiofrequency sickness is not to be exposed to radiofrequency radiation. People with radiofrequency sickness often become ill almost immediately upon exposure, although the severity of the illness depends on how often the exposure occurs, the frequency and amplitude of the radiation signal and the duration of the exposure. Studies show pulsed microwaves, as utilized by modern communication devices, including transmitting electrical meters, are very potent biologically.1,2,3,4

In fact, data presented at the recent conference “Electromagnetic Radiation Impacts

on Human Health” sponsored by The EMR Policy Institute showed that radiofrequencies, specifically pulsed modulated microwaves from a DECT cordless telephone base unit can have an instantaneous effect on heart rhythm in susceptible individuals. This technology is the same as that used by cellphones, WiFi internet access, and transmitting utility meters. See: http://www.youtube.com/user/EMRPolicyInstitute presentation of Prof. Magda Havas in three segments.

A number of studies show that electromagnetic radiation, including radiofrequency radiation, alters heart rate variability, blood pressure (including inducing hypertension with microwave exposure – smart meters transmit in the microwave range) and increases risk of arrhythmia related heart disease and heart attack.4,5

There is extensive documentation in the literature of alterations of Ca2+ homeostasis.5 This is likely to be responsible at least in part for the profound effects that radiofrequency radiation has on the heart and neurological function. Ca2+ regulates gap junction opening. Gap junctions are key in many intercellular communications.

Exposure to radiofrequency radiation also interferes with the action of enzymes, signaling pathways, and makes the immune system simultaneously hyperactive and less effective.5,18 Immune impairment results in part from the disruptive effect of radiofrequency radiation on calcium ion homeostasis. In addition to radiofrequency radiation-induced immune impairment increasing risk of various types of infection, it is likely to increase the risk of getting cancer from the DNA breakages radiofrequency radiation is well-documented to induce. 5 While radiofrequency radiation is non-ionizing, the metabolic changes it can cause result in oxidative damage to DNA and subsequent breakage. Direct interactions between radiofrequency radiation and DNA can have similar results, as well as causing changes in gene transcription, through changes in electron flows induced by the radiation.19

Neurological function can be seriously impaired by radiofrequency radiation. Cholinesterase enzyme activity is impaired by exposure to radiofrequency radiation in a manner similar to impairment caused by organophosphate pesticides often rendering a person with radiofrequency sickness particularly sensitive to small amounts of chemicals.20 Radiofrequency radiation can lower the pain threshold, slow reaction times, cause fatigue, muscle weakness, headaches, difficulty concentrating, short-term memory problems and even memory loss. 1,2,3,4 These may be caused by disruption of Ca2+, disruption of various enzyme pathways, induction of the stress response and associated effects, increased permiability of the blood-brain barrier, or various other effects of over exposure to radiofrequency radiation.4,5,20

Radiofrequency radiation significantly decreases melatonin levels and decreases the ability of existing melatonin to fight cancer.5 Good sleep is essential for good mental and physical health. Good sleep is very difficult, if not impossible to obtain if your melatonin levels are abnormally low. Sleep deprivation along with impaired neurological function and enzyme impaiment are likely to be behind the brain fog and cognitive difficulties those with radiofrequency sickness experience.

EMF HEALTH - OLLIE JOHANSSON

KI researcher: ‘Kick out politicians who give students hazardous e-readers with unproven educational value’

Thanks to the so-called PISA\* (OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment) survey, in Sweden we now know: student scores in maths, reading comprehension and natural sciences are plummeting. The results are prompting rage in Swedish schools.

The government response is to force all students to go through another school year. In addition, a series of panic measures has been initiated by the authorities. But do not expect schools to be given peace and quiet, so that they may be able to figure out how to get things to work while dismantling those gadgets and administrative ‘reins’ that do not.

For years schools have undergone a multitude of changes and been given new assignments, including being forced to monitor more grade control data and using new and more administration. Some changes are good, some bad. Changes include an enormous amount of computerized teaching where students via their apps, mobile phones and tablets are supposed to gain new knowledge. Pedagogy innovators have deleted textbooks and pencils, blackboards and pointers, and instead replaced them with new wireless e-readers and cell phones. Academics, such as myself, have many times -usually completely unheard – raised a warning finger to the educational establishment.

Today it is very difficult to be a teacher and take responsibility for teaching in the classroom where students’ cell phones are constantly ringing, text messages are being sent back and forth, and surfing the entire time online or playing games through iPhones and iPads. All this when students really should be working on their school assignments.

In Sweden, there have been several cases where the teacher was reprimanded because he or she “violated the students’ privacy” after taking cell phones from students, while other teachers have been criticized for being too strict with students for not allowing them to do what they want during school hours.

In Sweden -which has one of the most highly computerized educational systems in the world – results have plummeted regarding reading, writing and math skills. Today the system cannot afford to hire enough staff, no, and it has even been suggested that “tired of school” students will not be asked to finalize 2/3 of their secondary education. So the new tools do not impress -it just seems like we should be spending money on well-trained teachers with old teaching materials.

Simultaneously there is a tendency for students in alternative schools such as Waldorf, Montessori and Reggio Emilia, to do slightly better and mature mentally faster; and it’s very interesting because these schools do not use computers to the same degree as mainstream schools.

These new wireless devices are now flooding schools and homes. Examples of such sources of microwave radiation are wireless routers, computers with wireless network cards, wireless landline phones, tablets (like the iPad), mobile phones, etc. Several years ago evidence surfaced that exposure from electromagnetic fields can cause serious biological effects and health effects. Against this backdrop, many like myself protested, including parents, teachers and school staff in Köping as seen in Bärgslagsbladet (April 18) in 2012 under the headline “No to wireless at school”.

Children are probably sensitive to pulsed microwave radiation from iPads and routers

There are now numerous scientific studies that children are likely to be more vulnerable to pulsed microwave radiation than adults. New research shows, among other serious effects on behavior and learning ability, that there is general agreement among scientists that electromagnetic fields penetrate further into the brains of children than in adults because the skulls of children are thinner. There is also a broad consensus that children are more vulnerable to adverse effects from radiation because their bodies are developing, thus, by definition, more sensitive to environmental toxins. Children are not “little adults”!

The Council of Europe’s Environment Committee has called for strong measures to protect the public against mobile phone radiation

The World Health Organization in 2011 classified electromagnetic fields from wireless sources as possible carcinogens. In its Resolution No. 1815 from May 2011 the Council of Europe’s Environment Committee recommended strong measures to protect the public against harmful effects of wireless radiation, including a ban on mobile phones and wireless internet in schools. It also wants to reduce the recommended maximal exposure level of mobile telephony sharply, all this completely in agreement with the Seletun declaration of 2010. In it, an international group of scientists urge on a stop to further expansion of wireless systems and require new guideline limits.

In February 2010 The Seletun Scientific Panel published a resolution with a wide range of common positions and recommendations, based on a review of the then-available research on the health effects of electromagnetic fields. Since then there have been many more reports …

The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) misleads

Sometimes you see in the debate that someone -usually from a radiation safety organization -claims there is no danger and that “the radiation is so weak”. Weak compared to what?, I wonder. Today there are children in radiation levels that could easily be 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 times higher than our natural background radiation. So how can the phrase “so weak” be justified?

A child using a laptop to download from a wireless Internet connection is exposed to the same amount of radiation (about 1,000 µW/m2 and above) as if he/she were near a cellular base station (50-100 meters away). There are many parents who are not aware of this. The figures are not plucked from the air, but taken from readings in schools in Oslo by the Norwegian Post and Telecommunications Agency. Whether it’s about base stations, wireless or cell phones, it is the same type of radiation we are talking about (in the range of 1-2.5 GHz).

Autism and ADHD-like behaviors

A group of researchers in California recently conducted a large study of mobile phone use in pregnant women. They looked at all the kids who were born in Denmark in a given year and interviewed the mothers about their mobile phone use during pregnancy. They also asked about the child’s mobile usage and behavior.

To the researchers’ surprise it turned out that the mothers who had used mobile phones the most during pregnancy had the greatest risk of having children with behavioral difficulties.

It was about both autism and ADHD-like behaviors. The increase in risk was statistically significant. The risk also increased further if the child himself used a cell phone.

\[ Divan HA, Kheifets L, Obel C, Olsen J (2008) “Prenatal and postnatal exposure to cell phone use and behavioral problems in children”, Epidemiology 2008; 19: 523-529 ]

Symptoms: headache, abnormal fatigue and irritation

Such a study might not be sufficient to conclude that electromagnetic fields are dangerous to children. German researchers wanted to measure the radiation dose that children and adolescents are exposed to in daily life. They asked about 3,000 children and young people in Bavaria to walk around carrying a dosimeter from morning to night. The dosimeters measured the radiation from cell phones, base stations and wireless networks.

It turned out that the quarter of the children who were most exposed to radiation had more concentration problems at night than the rest of the kids. The same group also had more headaches and were more irritated than other young people.

The results of the Bavarian study were again statistically significant.

\[ Heinrich S, Thomas S, Heumann C, von Kries R, Radon K (2010) “Association between exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields were assessed by dosimetry and acute symptoms in children and adolescents: a population-based cross-sectional study,” Environmental Health 2010, 9:75-83 ]

So the question is what mechanism can explain these symptoms in children and adolescents. Scientists Buchner & Eger in Germany measured levels of stress hormones in 60 residents in an area before a base station was erected. They were measured again after six months and again after one and a half years after the antenna became operational.

It turned out that people had much higher levels of the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline six months after the base station became operational, and after another year, the situation had not improved. Living with such constant stress to the body is obviously harmful to health.

\[ Buchner K, Eger H, “Veränderung klinisch bedeutsamer Neurotransmitter unter dem Einfluss modulierter hochfrequenter Felder -Eine Langzeiterhebung unter lebensnahen Bedingungen”, Umwelt – Medizin -Gesellschaft 2011: 24 : 44-57. ]

Do not think this is just about the kids. Even fetuses are affected significantly and in a particularly scary way. Scientists Jing, et al., of the Department of Public Health, Shandong University, China, have studied the impact of mobile phone radiation on pregnant rat fetuses. The researchers measured changes in both neuronal neurotransmitters and effects on antioxidant enzymes which protect our cells from oxidative stress.

They conclude that mobile phone radiation during pregnancy resulted in damage to the fetal brains! They were born already brain-damaged. What mothers and fathers want that for their children? (Jing J, Yuhua Z, Xiao-Qian Y, Rongping J, Dong-Mei G, Xi C, “The influence of microwave radiation from cellular phone on fetal rat brains,” Electromag Biol Med 2012; 31:57-66.)

Students and teachers more and more frequently report abnormal fatigue in their working environment and you cannot dismiss current suspicions that exposure from wireless networks can play a role in this. It is therefore important to ensure that wireless networks in kindergartens and schools are not causing significant and unnecessary risks for the health of our children and their teachers. Academically, the subject is not very complicated but for a layman can seem difficult to assess. The lack of knowledge today is due exclusively to the lack of research resources, not a lack of ideas, hypotheses, theories or interest.

The Precautionary Principle must be applied

Based on the above information the organization Citizens’ Radiation Protection in Norway, http://www.folkets-stralevern.no/, has urged parents to sign a formal agreement where a parent does not consent to the exposure of their children to microwave radiation from wireless communication technology either in the classroom or indoors in general. As a parent, you are encouraged to require that the school / preschool exercises precautions to minimize radiation exposure and to demand wired solutions for data networking and telephony indoors. You are also encouraged to demand answers on who is responsible for the child if damaged by radiation exposure.

Time is not on our side. We must quickly decide how to proceed. In Sweden the choice seems to be having “artist types” running around in the community -wildly creative but totally impossible to put at the controls of an airplane or be responsible for the safety of a nuclear power plant. Alternatively should we have a population that is completely egalitarian, equipped with all the basics to work in our society? Will the next generation be capable at all of handling the different functions society requires? Do we want a society where we accept math, reading and writing difficulties that are solely due to the teaching handled by unauthorized personnel, through strange “apps” and in a computerized educational chaos?

But our Education Minister Jan Björklund has instead appointed an advisory committee of international experts called “the school commission”. A new agency (an “educational research institute”) is to be established to investigate these issues. In addition, Björklund intends to create a Swedish Education Council. He also talks about various new investigations and new reforms.

We do not need more research!

The only thing needed is a competent staff with good pay who can work in peace without being threatened, harassed or violated. Their work with students shall be in accordance with traditional effective educational models, with proven pedagogical aids, peace and quiet in class, concentration, joy, enthusiasm, teaching instead of gaming and mobile browsing, information tailored to each individual’s ability, and demands on teachers and students in relation to future levels of responsibility. (However, during the public debate I have not heard or read anywhere that one should bet again on the school, the teachers, the educational content or the often poor school facilities and the salmonella-contaminated school lunches. But these are left unattended. Sounds like something out of a New Year’s fun cabaret, right?)

Peter Kadhammar at the Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet notes in his excellent column from January 17, 2014, that” In the knowledge society literacy skills have been lost”. As I have pointed out many times this has happened in spite of (!) the vast amounts of electronic gadgets introduced and now used in our Swedish schools. All iPads, WiFi, “surf the web pages”, computer games, laptops, sending text messages during class, smart phones, etc., do not seem to have done their supposed job of teaching?

Enough is enough. We need peace and quiet in the classroom. Put away the e-reader and mobile and kick out school politicians who want to spend money on unproven educational gadgets that are also probably merely health hazardous.

The latest global PISA education ranking study released in December 2013 pushed Sweden below the OECD average in maths, reading comprehension, and natural sciences. http:// www.thelocal.se/20131203/sweden-slides-in-global-education-rank-pisa-studentsschools

EMF’S FROM POWER LINES

The Facts

by Lloyd Burrell, electricsense.com

EMFs from power lines is not what you would call a hot topic.

People are talking more and more talk about the dangers of wireless radiation, cell towers, cell phones, WiFi, smart meters…but EMFs from power lines (otherwise known as electrical transmission lines) are just, if not more, dangerous.

This is what I would like to talk about in this article.

What Are Power Lines?

Power lines form part of a system called the ‘grid’. They are composed of two components, the cables transmitting the power, and the pylons or towers.

The cables strung between the pylons emit magnetic and electric fields. The towers themselves do not as they are shielded from the cables by insulators.

Typically high voltage lines carry electricity at 300,000 volts or 400,000 volts. Some power lines may carry even higher voltages.

Did you know that some power lines carry such high voltages that they emit high levels of EMFs (electromagnetic fields) for up to 1/4 mile on either side?

If you are in doubt as to the level of EMFs emitted from high voltage power lines watch this video:

What Do The Studies Say About EMFs From Power Lines?

Powerline EMFs have been linked to:

– leukemia (especially in children)

– breast cancer

– brain cancer

– reproductive problems and birth defects

– depression,

– blood disorders,

– heart disease, sleeping complaints and a host of other ailments.

Dozens of studies have found links between living near power lines and poor health:

– as far back as 1979 the Wertheimer and Leeper study found that children living near ordinary power lines had 3 times the likelihood of developing cancer….large gauge transmission lines are worse.

– the Savitz study (1980s) concluded 10-15 percent of all child cancers resulted from magnetic field exposure from powerlines.

– the Wall Street Journal reported in 1993 that the real estate resale value of homes decreased by as much as 30%, if exposed to electromagnetic fields

– according to a 2005 study published in the British Medical Journal, babies who live near high-voltage power lines are almost twice as likely as others to develop leukemia during childhood

And yet despite this evidence people are still being subjected to EMFs from power lines which are installed too close to people’s homes.

What Kind of EMFs do Power Lines Create?

There are two types of electromagnetic field produced by powerlines.

– an electric field is always present when the powerline is switched on. It strength depends on the voltage.

– a magnetic field is caused by the electric current flowing in the line when people use electricity. This can vary considerably and is considered the most dangerous.

Electric fields are stopped by most building materials. The real problem with power lines are the magnetic fields.

Magnetic fields penetrate practically everything.The main factor that reduces magnetic fields is distance from the source. In other words the further away you can get from these powerlines the better. But if its your home that is situated too close to a power line this is not easily resolved.

Are Underground Power Lines Safer?

The EMFs from underground powerlines are slightly different. The electric fields will usually be negligible because they are screened by soil, concrete, sand etc. But because underground cables tend to be buried close to the surface the magnetic fields at ground level can be high, except for the fact that the cables tend to be closer together than for overhead cables so the magnetic fields cancel out.

Can I Tell if a Power Line is Dangerous By Looking At It?

The width and size of the cables is a good indication of the voltage. But you can’t know the current flowing (what electricity people are drawing). And you can’t tell the configuration.

What’s the configuration? In your home, if your house wiring is not balanced, that’s to say the phase and neutral wires are not run together, this creates high magnetic fields. Similarly with powerlines, if the current on one side of the line cables is very different to the current on the other, this leads to much higher electric and magnetic fields than if both sides carried equal currents.

How Can I Know The EMFs Being Emitted From A Power Line?

The only way to know for sure what EMFs are being emitted by a powerline is to measure with an EMF meter. Your power company may be willing to do this testing for you. Then again your request my fall on deaf ears. In which case you can quite easily test your exposure by purchasing an EMF meter.

Measure the EMFs indoors and outdoors. Take measurements at different times of the day. Measure where you sit, and where children play.

Test with your electricity switched off at the mains, then again with it turned on, so you can determine how much of the EMFs are coming from the power line and how much from your own house wiring and electrical appliances.

What Are Safe Levels of EMFs From Power Lines?

The BioInitiative Report recommends safe limits for EMFs. For ELFs ( low frequency EMFs) the BioInitiative Report recommends 1 milliGauss (0.1 microTesla) limit for habitable space adjacent to all new or upgraded power lines.

If you are electrically sensitive this may still be much too high -the Building Biology guidelines recommend a much lower limit.

What To Do If Your Home Is In Close Proximity To A Power Line

The first thing to do is to obtain reliable readings with an EMF meter (as described above). There may be no cause for concern. You may live in very close proximity to a power line but the EMFs may be negligible. Then again you may live at good distance but your exposure may be significant because of the very high voltages in the cables. Obtaining EMF meter readings is the only way to know for sure.

If your readings are high then you have two options. You can either shield or you can move out. Shielding will not be easy. Yes, shielding does work easily and well for the electric field element. Practically any sheet of metal, metal screen, or metal fencing, provided the metal is grounded will do the job.

But we can’t shield for these magnetic fields. Or that’s to say theoretically we may be able to do so, but the cost is typically prohibitive. Up until recently effective magnetic shielding meant using materials like Mumetal, which are very expensive due to their high nickel content.

A new magnetic field shielding film called Giron is now available which has the advantage of being much cheaper than Mumetal. Nevertheless the costs are still relatively high and shielding a whole house is difficult if not impossible – better to get in an EMF consultant for this kind of work.

Conclusion: EMFs from power lines should not be underestimated but your greatest danger may still come from other EMF sources.

EMF'S AND ANXIETY

Living in a digital society has created detrimental energies from electromagnetic radiation. Televisions, computer monitors, cell phones, high tension wires, industrial radar, ordinary sixty-cycle electric current, fluorescent lights, microwave beams, electric blankets, hair dryers, and other electrical appliances all emit radiation. The more you use these devices and the closer you are to them, the higher is your exposure to EMFs.

Though most radiation has been assumed too low in frequency to harm us, some experts worry that cumulative exposure may give us doses beyond safe. Hours, days, years of using a hair dryer, staring at a TV, typing at the computer, chatting on the cell phone, cooking in a microwave, and sleeping in a bed with an electric outlet behind us create on-going exposure of high levels of EMFs.

This takes its toll in a number of ways that affect the brain and nervous system. According to scientific research, such continuous everyday exposure to electromagnetic frequency zones create a constant source of stress, altering body polarity, and magnifying our body’s self-protective fight or flight response. This compounds adrenal loads from all other stressors, physical and emotional, and significantly reduces our ability to effectively cope, leading to fatigue, tension, and illness. Highly disruptive to our nervous system, EMFs also numb or dull our sense perceptions and interfere with normal brain wave activity. And they disrupt neurotransmitters such as dopamine, which helps us focus, experience pleasure, and feel energized, and serotonin, which helps stabilize our moods.

HIDDEN HEALTH EFFECTS OF CELL TOWERS

by Andrea Fabry, it-takes-time.com September 22, 2015

Cell towers blanket the globe. The United States is home to more than 300,00 cell sites. They appear innocent. But are they?

Cell towers are the base stations that control mobile phone communication. They may or may not be clearly visible in your neighborhood. Sometimes they are disguised as cacti, trees, or even flags.

A Google search shows an array of cell tower disguises.

Because we can’t see, feel or smell the electromagnetic radiation coming from a cell tower (or cell site which includes towers, antenna masts and other base station forms), it’s hard to believe there is any potential for harm.

In fact, the Federal Communications Commission, our government’s regulating agency, has made sure health concerns aren’t addressed when cell tower applications are considered. According to the Telecommunications Act of 1996,

“No State or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the Commission’s regulations concerning such emissions.”

(Localities are permitted to reject a cell tower if the tower is deemed unsightly, which is one reason for the disguises.)

The wireless industry has relied on this legal favoritism, banking on consumer trust in government oversight. After all, wouldn’t we know if cell towers (or cell phones) are unsafe?

The FCC and a Congressional Challenge

The FCC already agrees that cell tower workers may be injured by these fields because of the proximity. While the FCC position is solely based on thermal effects of non-ionizing radiation, it is clear the agency agrees that cell tower workers may be at risk of adverse health effects (emphasis mine):

Studies have shown that environmental levels of RF energy routinely encountered by the general public are far below levels necessary to produce significant heating and increased body temperature (References 32, 37, 45, 46, 48 and 54). However, there may be situations, particularly workplace environments near high-powered RF sources, where recommended limits for safe exposure of human beings to RF energy could be exceeded. In such cases, restrictive measures or actions may be necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy.

How well is the FCC monitoring these levels? Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Rep. Anna Eshoo of California believe the FCC has dropped the ball when it comes to monitoring and regulating the safety of cell towers, especially when it comes to cell site workers. The lawmakers issued a challenge to the FCC on September 17, 2015,

Excessive exposure to RF radiation leads to well-documented potential harms, especially to workers who spend time near the antenna and in the line of the antenna’s beam. At sufficient power levels and exposure durations, RF radiation has the ability to heat biological tissue. Thermal effects can include eye damage, sterility, and cognitive impairments.

We urge the FCC and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to work together to enforce exposure limits and ensure wireless carriers are taking the required precautions to protect the safety of all persons who may be exposed to dangerous levels of RF radiation near wireless towers.

If the FCC agrees that cell tower workers are at risk, and two members of Congress are concerned enough to issue a reprimand, what does this say about the overall safety of cell sites?

Studies That Demonstrate a Health Risk

The World Health Organization officially classifies electromagnetic radiation a possible 2B carcinogen. (The same category as lead, DDT, and styrene.)

The following studies suggest short-term and long-term health risks within 300-400 meters of a cell tower. (Less than three-tenths of a mile)

This is a compelling survey of 270 men and 260 women showing changes in symptoms in relation to cell tower proximity. Note the decrease in reported headaches the further from the cell site.

Researchers measured blood levels of serotonin and melatonin in 25 participants before and after the activation of a new cell site. There were unfavorable changes in almost all participants.

Researchers discovered a threefold increase in cancers after five years exposure to microwave radiation from a nearby mobile phone mast transmitter compared to those patients living further away.

Researchers in France found significant health effects on people living within 300 meters of mobile phone base stations. Fatigue, sleep disturbance, headaches, concentration problems, depression, memory problems, irritability, cardiovascular problems, hearing disruption, skin problems, dizziness, etc.

(For a comprehensive list of studies linking cell towers to adverse health effects, see Electromagnetic Health.)

As noted above current FCC regulations are based on thermal effects. Thanks to the BioIniative Report 2012 we now have a compilation of more than 1800 studies showing biological effects from non-ionizing radiation.

In May 2016, the U.S. government released preliminary findings for a $25 million rat study linking cell phone radiation to cancer. See NTP Study: Cell Phones and Cancer.

The Implications for You and Me

What does this say about schools, homes or offices located in a cell tower vicinity?

I recently measured the radiofrequency fields near a cell tower 5 miles from our home. The tower hovers over an Ace Hardware store and equipment rental company. Several housing developments are nearby.

I recorded the following video over a period of four minutes. I watched for unusual spikes.

The level went as high as 1827 mw/m2. The Institute for Building Biology recommendations for sleeping areas suggests that anything above 1.0 mw/m2 is of “extreme concern”.

Our home has an average RF level of .0005 mw/m2. (Our RF levels went down after we transitioned away from Wi-Fi. See From Wireless to Wired – Our Family’s Journey.)

Action Steps

\1. Locate nearby cell towers

Check the website Antenna Search. Type in your address to see results for existing towers, pending cell towers, and antennas.

\2. Monitor your health

If you are in proximity to a cell tower, take note of any health changes. Are you experiencing frequent headaches, sleep disturbance or fatigue? (Fatigue is a huge symptom of RF exposure. Learn more about symptoms in the article Landmark Cell Tower Study.)

\3. Measure your environment

The best way to see if a nearby cell tower is impacting you is to measure the RF in your environment. Distance is not necessarily the dictating factor. Issues include weather, humidity, obstructions (mountains are excellent obstacles), the number of antennas, beam pattern, cell traffic, and more.

RF meters are readily available online. I have the Cornet meter as seen in the video above. It sells for $139 and measures magnetic fields as well as radio frequencies. (Purchase the meter at Just So Natural Products.)You’ll find a wide selection of RF meters at the website Less EMF.

\4. Minimize exposure in the sleeping area

Our bodies are far more sensitive to all forms of electromagnetic radiation during sleep. The first step is to reduce the exposures we can control. Turn off your router at night, remove cordless DECT phones and keep your cell phone far away from your head. (For more suggestions see Sleep, Melatonin and Electronic Devices.)

Shielding is an option when RF levels remain high after taking the above actions. Grounding paint and shielding fabrics are available at LessEMF.org.

(Be sure to power off/eliminate all wireless devices in the room you are shielding to avoid aggravating the situation. Shielding is a complex issue and may require the help of an experienced electrician.)

Perhaps the best course of action is to ask questions about the alleged safety of cell towers and cell phones. The wireless industry has everything to gain from uneducated and overly trusting consumers. Let’s not compromise our health, or the health of future generations, with an unwillingness to challenge the status quo.

LETTER FROM DR. USMAN SIDDIQUI - CARDIOLOGIST/EP

To Whom It May Concern:

Mr. Dean Tsutras has been under my care for some time for his cardiac condition. He developed Cardiomyopathy and as a result a Defibrillator was implanted due to his reduced heart function to protect him from sudden cardiac death. He has also undergone Ablation procedures in his heart due to a birth defect he was born with. He has chronic pain and limited physical abilities. He is also hypersensitive to electromagnetic elements causing symptoms such as dizziness, arrythmias, and vertigo. This letter is to request Mr. Tsutras be placed on disability, thank you.

LETTER FROM DR. DYLAN RUMLEY

July 6, 2017

To Whom It May Concern,

Dean F. Tsutras has been under my care for the last two years. We have met in person and we have had many Skype sessions. Mr. Tsutras has extreme PTSD, anxiety attacks and panic attacks. I believe, as well as his other Doctors, that the PTSD is from the failure of Dean’s implant due to a broken lead/pacing implanted wire plus the 2 surgeries he had to have along with the NDE.

The trauma of a lifetime of having his body opened and wires placed inside of him is daunting enough but the surgeries failure then the many surgeries afterwards have finally taken its toll on him emotionally as well as physically.

Due to the latest research and other Doctor's opinions I, too, believe Dean is affected by the environment concerning EMF/EMR radiation. We have known that pacemakers can be affected by electrical fields. It is a sad commentary for a man of his calibre, in the field of recording, to be reduced to such trauma simply because his best intentions were to heal his body. He did not know (Doctors may not have either) the dramatic impact that his cardiac implants would have with the electromagnetic fields and equipment within his studio.

I have seen Dean use many techniques to assist his PTSD yet I believe his EHS (electro hypersensitivity) does create a burden that is untenable and unfixable at this current time in our history. This hypersensitivity due the electromagnetic elements appears to be causing symptoms such as dizziness and vertigo.

I think we are only beginning to understand how electronics are affecting each of us in our world of today. This is certainly heightened in Mr. Tsutras due to his many implants and wires throughout his body.

This letter is to request Mr. Tsutras be placed on disability.

Thank you. Please phone me for any further questions.

All Kind Regards,

LETTER FROM GABRIELA BURSE, RN

To Whom It May Concern:

I have personally known Dean Tsutras for more than 17 years. Dean and Maria are my neighbors and I am very close with them. I have seen his health severely deteriorate over the last 4 years or so. Before his last surgery, and subsequent problems with the effects of electromagnetic fields due to his cardiac implants, he was doing very well. He was enjoying life with his family, successful business, and many leisure activities. He was fully functional and active.

Dean would work around the house and stayed very busy with work in his home studio. He really enjoyed the Florida Lifestyle. Weekends were spent at Disney and Universal Studios having fun and spending time with friends and family. Maria and Dean took Frequent trips to the beach, outings, and visiting cities and towns around Orlando filled with activities and doing things. He was active and enjoying life, and appreciating a successful business which has helped to support his family for many years.

Dean has been slowly trying to recover from two surgeries and many days in ICU with pain and suffering. Once he was released from the hospital, he was at home with visiting medical nurses to assist in recovery. He has clearly had a difficult time healing. Always in pain. His health has gotten worse and worse. At times, he cannot even walk and is in constant pain.

A few months ago, he went to Virginia to spend some time at his daughters cabin on 4 acres. While he was away, Maria stayed with me. She has also had a very hard time with this situation. After he returned to Orlando, he was unable to take care of himself. Maria took time off from her job to take him back to the country for 3 months. Maria has lost a lot of weight and has been in therapy to help her deal with things. She has now quit her job of 15 years to help with him full time. They are planning to move to Virginia where he can stay away from much of what affects him, including the recording studio he works from for his career.

Dean continues to be very sensitive to electromagnetic fields. In the presence ofWiFi, cell towers, Power lines, and Smart Meters, he suffers. I know he has seen many doctors and medical practitioners seeking answers. I have talked with Maria about this in depth. Now he is in constant pain and suffers anxiety and physical symptoms caused by the EMF problems with his pacemaker. He drives around in the car and goes to remote locations for hours at a time very single day seeking refuge from these EMF signals.

Has been to the ER multiple times. I know that travel for them is difficult and has even led to him being hospitalized while on out-of-town trips. From what I am told, ER visits are even more difficult due to the high level of EMF's in the ER. Multiple WiFi signals, cell phones, wireless laptops and tablets, smart meters, and an endless array of electronic medical devices throughout the ER and Hospital environment.

This is the bottom line to what I have described. Dean Tsutras, once a very active individual and very happy with his life, now fights day and night due to the incessant torment from the ubiquitous EMF fields that are obviously and directly affecting his cardiac implants.

LETTER FROM NANNETTE ECHEVARRIA

To Who It May Concern,

This is in reference to Dean Tsutras. I have known him over the years. It’s been about 10 years and I seen him very active over the years working doing things around the house.

Over these past three years I’ve seen him and his health decline. He hasn’t been himself for the last couple of years since the two surgeries that he had he has tried to recover but he has not been the same you could tell he’s in a lot of pain all the time. I know that he ends up at the ER in the hospital more than before since he had the two surgeries he’s had a lot of complications with his health.

His health has affected his wife it’s hard for her to walk work because she was worried about him if he would have a seizure. She was getting anxiety panic attacks because she had to work and she had to leave them. Her health is deteriorating to because the anxiety of worrying about him and praying that he gets better. They are an amazing couple they have a good heart.

I’m praying that he will get better soon but he has not been himself for several years since he have the surgery.

SMART METERS AFFECT EKG HEART RHYTHMS

AMI Smart Meters Interfere With Human Heart Rhythms, EKG Proves

POSTED ON MAY 20, 2017NATURAL LIVING

By Catherine J. Frompovich

One of the most intrepid independent lay EMF/RF and AMI Smart Meter investigators Warren Woodward of Sedona, Arizona, has taken upon himself to put AMI Smart Meters to the heart test.

First, some backup information.

Warren has been working “pro se” providing testimonies at hearings before the ACC (Arizona Corporation Commission). Below is a video of Warren in action at one of the APS (Arizona Public Service Electric Company) Rate Case hearings (April 27, 2017) involving AMI Smart Meters—something more people should participate in, in my opinion.

You will notice how those who ought to know relevant information apparently do not, i.e., Scott Bordenkircher, who holds the very important sounding title of Director of Transmission and Distribution Technology Innovation and Integration at APS.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NSrmAjqgjM

Now, about that heart test, an EKG, Warren subjected his healthy heart to, to prove whether EMFs/RFs emitted by AMI Smart Meters can, or do, affect the human heart.

May 16, 2017 Warren emailed a most compelling video “introducing ground-breaking new evidence that proves everyone’s health is being affected by ‘smart’ meters.” After the electrocardiogram test, Dr. Gilberto Leon, NMD, explained on camera what happened when the graph registered a sizable glitch in Warren’s heart rhythm when the AMI Smart Meter was turned on after a perfect normal heart rhythm registered before the EMF/RF exposure. Dr. Leon discusses the PQRST electrical wave actions taking place in Warren’s heart. Below is a diagram indicating the electrical activity in the human heart.

Source: http://www.ambulancetechnicianstudy.co.uk/ecgbasics.html#.WR-eqhSGP9I

Maybe readers would like to study the above website to understand more fully the meaning of what those wave lengths represent regarding heart health and rhythms. According to that website, “The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool that measures and records the electrical activity of the heart in detail. Being able to interpretate \[sic s/b interpret] these details allows diagnosis of a wide range of heart problems.”

Warren stated further in his email,

In EKG Proof That “Smart” Meters Affect the Human Heart video, you will see me connected to an EKG monitor while resting near an Elster brand “smart” meter of the type used by APS here in Arizona. When the “smart” meter transmits, the EKG shows that my heart rhythm is interrupted. Looking at the results of the EKG is startling.

Now consider EKG Proof That “Smart” Meters Affect the Human Heart, a 7+ minute video.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-aNRQNRtaI&t=2s

Furthermore, heart patients with Pacemakers have complained about erratic heart activity ever since an AMI Smart Meter was installed on to their utility service, especially an electric meter!

Now we have documentation there are very real legal problems for utility companies and state public utility commissions

AMI Smart Meters emit EMFs/RFs with non-thermal radiation waves causing both assault and battery to a person’s heart, body and wellbeing! Those are legal charges that can, and should be, filed against utility companies, AMI Smart Meter manufacturers, and public utility commissions, I offer.

Consumers now have legal proof AMI Smart Meters positively interfere with heart activity. Can you imagine what happens to your heart when those meters operate 24/7/365 on your home’s utilities? And many homes can have three AMI Smart Meters: electric, natural gas and municipal water!

AMI Smart Meters obviously induce myocardial \[relating to the muscular tissue of the heart, the myocardium] stresses upon heart muscle and its rhythms, as RFs definitely are heart stressors with negative physiological consequences. That statement is not to be confused with the stress test for myocardial infarction—heart attack.

When do the AMI Smart Meters safety recalls begin? Better still, when will all the class action lawsuits fire up in every state across the entire United States?

INVISIBLE DANGER - EMF

Oklahoma Observer Newspaper Front Page

Invisible Danger

BY B.A. GEARY

Remember when people with a heart pacemaker were warned of the presence of a microwave oven – lest the radiation from the oven interfere with the electricity in the pacemaker? Where are the warnings now for ALL of us?

We are surrounded by electricity that is not kept safely within wires. It is not instantly lethal like lightning, and in fact seems utterly un-intrusive and harmless \[not being seen, heard, felt, or smelled]. We have enthusiastically welcomed its convenience into our homes, our schools, and our libraries, easily becoming addicted to such devices as cell phones, WiFi, and microwave ovens. \[Controversial ‘smart’ meters also abound, though not necessarily as welcome, in our neighborhoods.]

But the electromagnetic radiation that these wireless devices emits actually has a cumulative effect on every cell in our bodies – in our hearts, our brains, our nervous systems.

The Federal Communications Commission, a regulatory agency with no expertise in matters of health, ignores this fact, and its permissible exposure levels are – per the U.S. Department of the Interior – 30 years out of date. Swisscom, the Swiss telecommunications company, however, admits damage from non-thermal wireless radiation, stating in a patent application: “When, for example, human blood cells are irradiated with electromagnetic fields, clear damage to hereditary material \[DNA] has been demonstrated and there have been indications of an increased cancer risk \[Mashevich et al., 2003].”

Retired military personnel like Capt. Jerry Flynn of Canada, well acquainted with electromagnetic radiation as a weapon, issue dire warnings. Militaries have catalogued frequencies harmful to humans –especially to the brain, the central nervous system and the immune system – since the 1950s, and have known that frequencies within the band 700MHz to 5GHz penetrate all organ systems in the body.

Alert! That is the band where all of today’s wireless consumer products and “smart” meters operate!

The BioInitiative 2012 Report, available at www.bioinitiative.org, the work of 29 independent scientists and health experts from 10 countries, reviewed over 1,800 new scientific studies about biological harm from electromagnetic radiation. Co-editor was David Carpenter, MD, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University at Albany. The report concludes that current prescribed safety limits around the world are 1,000 to 10,000 times too high.

The International Association of Fire Fighters, acknowledging that firefighters living with cell towers on or adjacent to their stations pay a substantial price in terms of physical and mental health, resolved in 2014 that firefighters should be protected under the Precautionary Principle of Science, and opposed the use of fire stations as base stations for antennas and cell towers. \[A pilot study in 2004 of six firefighters working and sleeping in stations with towers had revealed delayed reaction time, lack of impulse control, and difficulty in maintaining mental focus.]

In May 2015, 190 scientists from 39 nations submitted an appeal to the United Nations, UN member states, and the World Health Organization \[WHO], requesting they adopt more protective exposure guidelines for electromagnetic fields \[EMF] and wireless technology in the face of increasing evidence of risk.

In May 2016, Otis W. Brawley, MD, the American Cancer Society’s Chief Medical Officer, commenting on a $25-million study of cell phones by the U.S. National Toxicology Program \[NTP], stated:

“The NTP report linking radiofrequency radiation \[RFR] to two types of cancer \[malignant glioma and schwannoma, an extremely rare tumor] marks a paradigm shift in our understanding of radiation and cancer risk. The findings are unexpected; we wouldn’t reasonably expect non-ionizing radiation to cause these tumors. This is a striking example of why serious study is so important in evaluating cancer risk.”

Indeed, there have been thousands of studies of the biological effects of non-ionizing radiation, with various adverse effects known for decades. In a study \[by the research group Wireless Technology Research] for the cell phone industry in the mid 1990s, all five engineers who tested cell phones developed brain cancer. \[“Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette” was written by Robert C. Kane, Ph.D., one of the engineers who lost his life to a brain tumor.]

It seems noteworthy that the American Brain Tumor Association found in February 2016 that malignant brain tumors are the most common cancer occurring among 15- to 19-year-olds, and also the most common cause of cancer-related deaths in adolescents and young adults aged 15-39.

Who face the greatest risks of neurologic and biologic damage from wireless? It is children and unborn babies.

The rate of radiation absorption is much higher in a child than in an adult because of the child’s more absorbent brain tissue, thinner skull, and smaller size.

We, the public, didn’t expect wireless to harm us or our families, but now we know it does and we must protect ourselves and future generations from a myriad of devices. Even a two-minute cell phone call has been found to alter the natural electrical activity of the brain for up to an hour afterwards! To limit cell phone radiation, I suggest steps available at www.linkedin.com/pulse/cell-phone-radiation-boosts-cancer-rates-animals-25-million-boyd.

It would appear that today’s rampant wireless technology has already earned a place in history beside other horrendous mistakes like lead water pipes, asbestos insulation, thalidomide and DDT.

How soon we take our heads out of the sand will determine how soon we can scale back incidence of conditions like Alzheimer’s, autism, autoimmune diseases, brain cancer, and birth defects.

We need an all-out commitment to the precautionary principle applied in non-corrupt regulation by the FCC and state corporation commissions, in strong legislation controlling the telecom industry \[the Telecommunications Act of 1996 needs to be replaced by consumer-friendly, health-oriented legislation], and in appropriate citizen protection by attorneys general –just for a start.

Chapter 26

IS YOUR WIFI SIGNAL MAKING YOU SICK

It’s called by many names: EMF Electromagnetic Fields, EMR Electromagnetic Radiation, Electrosensitivity, Electrosmog…it doesn’t matter what you call it- we are all exposed, and while not everyone experiences symptoms, Everyone is affected.

We are subject to natural radiation all day long, both indoor and out. The sun is our most important natural source of radiation, i.e. sunlight. We are use to it and most of it is harmless but not all radiation is safe or beneficial.

Most of what I have learned has come from my patients. Being in the trenches everyday challenges practitioners to continue to learn and grow in their understanding of what makes us sick and how we get well.

It is no different with wireless technology and its potential health hazards. It began about 10 years ago when I met my first patient who told me they lived in a home without electricity, used carbon based paint and other shielding on their walls, dressed in protective clothing, and rarely ventured outside of their home. I admit, I first thought this person may need a therapist more than a functional medicine practitioner. But the stories grew and the patients spoke of unexplained and idiopathic symptoms such as:

arrhythmias,

ringing in the ears,

depression

pain in the teeth,

burning,

itching, swelling, rashes, night sweats, pain or burning in the eyes and many sensitivities especially light and sound.

At around the same time, my mentor, Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., Ph.D began speaking out about electro-magnetic radiation and reminded us how the brain is a gland (biochemistry) and a bio-computer (electricity) and that a healthy brain has normal levels of hormones, neuro-peptides and nutrients, as well as normal electrical activity, normal blood inflow and outflow and lymphatic drainage in all of its parts. The brain also has has a blood brain barrier. In 2008, at the "Healing the Brain" conference, Dr. Klinghardt presented the cause of most current chronic states of illness were due to sub-threshold infections (such as mold, borrelia, chlamydia, herpes, Epstein Barr, etc) which grow in a disturbed or polluted environment. In one research experiment a mold culture was exposed to EMR (electrical magnetic radiation) while the other was not. The one exposed to EMR had 600 times more toxic biotoxins and its growth rate was dozens of times faster. For patients dealing with mold toxicity, it has become essential to do home hygiene and address wireless technology.

It appears EMF may not only harm our body’s cells but it may also be impacting the microbes within each of us. This bioaccumulation of xenobiotics, heavy metals and microbial biotoxins. has a correlation with the expanded use of cell phone radiation and other sources of EMR. Research shows the microbes perceive these wireless frequencies as a threat or attack and respond with an increased output of biotoxins and increased virulence of their toxins.

In 2010, at the conference on Autism held by the Klinghardt Academy of Neurobiology, Dr. Klinghardt addressed electrosmog and autism. Submit There has been a 60-fold increase in ASD Autism Spectrum Disorders in recent years, which cannot be accounted for by improvements in diagnostic methods and can only be explained by changes in the environment. The increase corresponds in time to the proliferation of mobile telecommunications, WiFi, and microwave ovens as well as extremely low frequency fields from household wiring and domestic appliances.

Dr. Klinghardt taught how the effects of electromagnetic radiation impact the unborn child and focused on two parameters:

\1. The sleeping location of the pregnant mom-to-be, and 2. The sleeping location of the infant after birth When Dr, klinghardt began treating autistic children he noticed what was missing in the conventional approach was a complete lack of understanding how electromagnetic fields may be contributing. Dr. Klinghardt did a pilot study where they went back to where the Mom was sleeping when they were pregnant with their now diagnosed autistic child and found the average exposure of an autistic child to a non-autistic child was 20 fold higher of the combination of low frequency EMF (from household currents) and the exposure to microwave from incoming cell phone radiation was difference of 20 to 1.

\2. The body acts like an antennae for ambient electric fields and builds up electric tension against the ground. Since our neurons operate at voltages between 80 and 120 milliVolt (mV), the threshold at which artificially induced body voltage interferes with our normal physiology is at a level at or about 80 mV. The higher the body voltage, the worse damage to the developing neuronal networks, to cell signaling mechanisms, the epi-genome, the cell membrane and interruption or stimulation of cell signaling molecules and damage to the DNA itself.

\3. Microwave exposure of the infant after birth. Anything over 1 microWatt/square meter in the sleeping location is expected to cause biological, immunological, physiological and neurological consequences. The higher, the more devastating. Known biomedical effects include:

Decrease in pineal function with decreased melatonin production (insomnia, lowered immune status)

Opens blood-brain Barrier

Autism and other neuro-developmental disorders in exposed infants

Increased leukemia and cancer rates

Brian fog, fatigue, short term memory loss

Synergistic effect with all other types of radiation

Disturbs all known intrinsic rhythms(EEG, Heart rate variability, breathing pattern,

24 hour meridian activity

Bowel movements

How may EMR be affecting our physiology?

We have Dr. Martin Pall to thank for his pioneering research in this area. He is professor emeritus of Washington State University, trained in physics, biochemistry from Johns Hopkins University and California Institute of Technology. Dr. Poll’s research show that EMR’s work by activating what are called "voltage-gated calcium channels." These are channels in the outer membrane of the cell which detect electrical changes across the plasma membrane and open the channel. Because of the structure of the voltage sensor and its location in the plasma membrane it’s extraordinarily sensitive to the electrical forces from EMF’s.

The forces are approximately 7.2 million times stronger on the voltage sensor than they are on single charged electrical groups. When they are activated they open up and allow calcium to flow into the cell. It’s the excess calcium in the cell which is responsible for most if not all of the biological effects. When calcium is out of balance, which it is in diseases like cancer and arthritis, and probably in all diseases to some extent, there are 10,000 chemical reactions that also become faulty. Submit The inward leakage of calcium ions from electromagnetic fields also opens the various tight junction barriers in our bodies that normally protect us from allergens and toxins in the environment and prevent toxic materials in the bloodstream from entering sensitive parts of the body such as the brain.

The opening of the blood-brain barrier has been shown to cause the death of neurons and can be expected to result in early dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The opening of the barrier in our respiratory epithelia by electromagnetic fields has been shown to increase the risk of asthma in children. The opening of other barriers, such as the gut barrier allows foreign materials from the gut to enter the bloodstream, which may also promote allergies and has been linked to autoimmune diseases. The industry has been claiming for at least 25 years that ionizing radiation is dangerous, but this non-ionizing radiation can’t do anything. We don’t have to worry about it at all. Now we know the mechanism of impact with the voltage-gated calcium channels and the increase in calcium signaling.

Dr. Andrew Goldsworthy, MSc PhD

His interest in the biological effects of electromagnetic fields dates back over 30 years. Dr. Goldsworthy draws attention to the similarity between the symptoms of electrosensitivity and those of low blood calcium (Hypocalcemia). The symptoms of hypocalcaemia are very similar to those of electromagnetic intolerance such as: skin disorders, pins and needles, numbness, sensations of burning, fatigue, muscle cramps, cardiac arrhythmia, g.I. problems and others. His work suggests electromagnetic fields and low blood calcium are removing structural calcium from cell membranes to produce similar physiological effects.

The ELF frequencies that give damaging biological effects as measured by calcium release from brain slices and ornithine decarboxylase production in tissue cultures lie between 6Hz and 600Hz. Virtually all digital mobile telecommunications systems use pulses within this range. In February 2013, Dr. Goldsworthy advised Parliament on the potential risks and dangers as a result of Smart Meters and the impact of EMR on the autistic. Dr. Goldsworthy is an Honorary Lecturer in Biology at Imperial College London. He retired from full time teaching in 2004.

I first heard Magda Havas speak in May 2013 at the "Healing Your Brain" Conference held by the Klinghardt Academy.

According to Magda Havas 1 out of 3 adults have mild to moderate symptoms of electrosensitivity. Magda Havas is Associate Professor of Environmental and Resource Studies at Trent Univrersity where she teaches and does research on the biological effects of environmental contaminants. Magda has co-authored three books on these topics. She is called to give expert testimony internationally on the health effects of electromagnetic pollution as they relate to occupational exposure, high voltage transmission lines, magnetic fields and both cell phone and broadcast antennas as the science advisor on EMF-related issues.

Her website is an invaluable resource to for anyone who is serious about understanding the science, research, and politics of electromagnetic radiation. An important part of her current work is as an advocate for protecting school age children from the harm of EMR and has been producing studies and research on its correlation between illnesses such as: ADD, autism, allergy, asthma, and more.

Havas Recommendations:

No microwave in the home

No cordless phone

No WiFi

No baby monitors

Her acronym is R.I.D.E

Reduce exposure

Support the Immune system

Detoxify.

Emotional/psychological trauma needs to be healed

Silver fillings in your mouth? Are you at greater risk?

Amalgam restorations consist of mercury, silver, tin, copper and a trace amount of zinc. The dental amalgam has two fundamental flaws that adversely affect a patients health, First, all amalgams are cations and the net result of the tendency for covalent ionic and metallic bonding and van der Waals forces between amalgam cations is a weak repulsion so there is a sustained release of mercury and other metals from the amalgam in to the body.

Also, the five dissimilar metals in the amalgam have a galvanic action between them. Galvanism produces electricity that flows through the body which has been measured between o.1 and 10 microamps, compared to the body’s natural electric current of 3 microamps. Not only do amalgam fillings attract EMR and electricity to your body, they create electrical current, and they contain mercury.

What is Electrohypersensitivity?

Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) is defined by the World Health Organization as: "…a phenomenon where individuals experience adverse health effects while in the vicinity of devices emanating electric, magnetic, or electromagnetic fields."

In Sweden, it is classified as a disability. Health care facilities with low levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields and radio frequency radiation are available. The Canadian Human Rights Commission report also acknowledges environmental sensitivity attributed to electromagnetic exposure. Researchers estimate that approximately 3% of the population has severe symptoms of EHS and another 35% of the population has moderate symptoms such as an impaired immune system and chronic illness (Havas, 2007)

The electrohypersensitive people have their own handicap organization, The Swedish Association for the Electrohypersensitive (http://www.feb.se; the website has an English version).

Electrosmog Diagnosis

There are electronic instruments which are very objective but cannot predict the biological effect. -

Radiasthesia (very subjective, only 2-8 of hundred practitioners accurate

ART Autonomic Response Testing – Very reliable in the hands of well trained practitioners

Heart Rate Variability (measures accurately the bological effect of the field in this particular location on this particular organism

Psychoenergetic Energetics developed by Reimar Banis, MD, ND

EXPOSURE:

The keyboards of laptop computers send dangerous radiation into your hands! Solution: Attach an external keyboard.

\2. Exercising on a treadmill raises blood sugar markedly because of the EMF’s! Solution: Exercise out-of-doors.

\3. Compact fluorescent light bulbs give off high levels of EMF’s! Solution: Stock up on incandescent bulbs or change to quartz halogen

\4. Teachers in “hot rooms” in schools (computer labs especially) took far more “sick” days than other teachers! Solution: Get out of computer labs! General solution:

Buy a Gauss meter and take measurements of EMF’s at home and school.

\5. Hire an environmental consultant

\6. Biogeometry

\7. Meter – Cornet ED88& – Under $200 Amazon

Purchase filters for electrical outlets that block dirty electricity. Remove all computers, plasma TVs and wireless phones from the bedroom

The dangers of Electro-magnetic fields–EMF, EMR, Electrosmog—are now widely recognized as a serious 21st century health threat by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Consumer Report, The Cleveland Clinic and independent researchers from Harvard, Columbia and Yale.

What Can You DO?

Educate yourself and your family. This is easier said than done. As a grandmother of 5 between the ages of 4-14 and a Functional medicine, bio-energetic practitioner my daily challenge is education on this important topic. We live in a culture of technology—we all want super downloads, super speed, faster connections, stronger signals which means, more EMF’s.

Human beings are bio-electrical systems. Our hearts and brains are regulated by internal bio-electrical signals. Environmental exposures to artifical EMFs can interact with fundamental biological processes in the human body. (Sage, 2007)

This is a fast and changing environment and the fact is we do not have all the answers. In the meantime, here is a list of action steps to consider for you and your family.

Create a sleep sanctuary. Our brains glymphatic system removes toxic waste at night

Metal free mattress & bedframe

Sleep sanctuary or turn off the fuses

Take rosemary, propolis, melatonin, magnesium

No alarm systems,

Put your phone in airplane mode

Ethernet

Lower exposure – limit wireless including Xbox 360, smart chips, smart meters, Alexa, have digital detox days

Get rid of cordless phones and replace with corded phones

Use a voice-activated baby monitor

Avoid compact florescent lightbulbs

Do not live within 300-400 yards of cell phone towers

Use Essential oils, shunghite, structured water, build your energy body and support your immune system

Avoid use of electric blankets and waterbeds

Lighting: Try to work with the florescent tube lighting turned off. Remove CFL from your work area

Have a qualified technician measure your home and workplace for electrosmog

Join us for a screening of the powerfully moving and thought-provoking documentary, "Generation Zapped" which investigates the potential dangers of prolonged exposure to Radio Frequencies from wireless technology.

This film was born of a personal and deep investigation by Executive Producer Peter Sullivan as to why his two sons growing up in the tech capital of Silicon Valley, California, were manifesting signs of bein on the autism spectrum. He teamed with award winning fim director Savine El Gemayel, to create a social-awareness documentary combining personal stories from others directly affected, along with discussions with doctors, health researchers and other experts discovering the mounting scientific evidence.

sentation by Environmental Consultant, Sal LaDuca, who will share his knowledge from years of studies and experience in creating safe havens for people living in a toxic electromagnetic world.

CELEBRITY TALKS - JOLIE JONES

My name is Jolie Jones, daughter of legendary Quincy Jones, and I have personally experienced Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity.

Because of my experience and the knowledge gained by navigating my way through this debilitating impairment, I feel the responsibility to open up a dialog and share what I have learned in the process of my healing.

Right now we are at a tipping point with the issue of biological health effects of wireless devices. New research keeps coming out showing us that there are serious health risks—that are now undeniable—from exposure to radiofrequency waves emitted by our cellphones, wifi and other wireless devices.

This is a delicate conversation to open up. We have all become so dependent on our many devices in the course of our everyday lives.

Let's begin to have this conversation with our eyes, hearts and minds wide open, regardless of any inconveniences. There are many things we can do in our everyday lives that can make a tremendous difference as a precautionary measure.

It's time to take a look at the 1st and 2nd hand exposure we are subjecting ourselves to. It is similar to back in the day when we started to talk and look at our exposure to cigarette smoke (1st and 2nd hand), and asbestos and lead for that matter.

A recent 15 year long US Government study costing $25 million done by the National Toxicology Program proves without a doubt that radiofrequencies emitted by wifi and other devices, such as cellphones, cause cancer in the brain and hearts of rats.

There is study after study showing there are biological health effects after exposure!

Why is industry and our federal government not acknowledging them? It was the same with cigarettes if you remember.

It is in the fine print that comes with your cellphone.

Plenty of evidence is available to substantiate these facts and therefore the need for us all to take precautionary measures. Especially when it comes to our children.

PROTECT OUR CHILDREN PLEASE!!

They cannot protect themselves.

LETTER TO LAWYER ABOUT FIDELIS LEAD FAILURE / BREAKAGE

RE: Dean Frank Tsutras

Mr. Louis Gomez from your firm was going to check on a class action lawsuit against Medtronic for this faulty/defective FIDELIS lead. I have not heard back from him yet. I was also told to explain the situation we have faced concerning Duke Energy and the Smart Meter that was installed on my home. Since my last surgery, I have become Electro Hypersensitive (EHS) and am directly affected by the radiation and EMF signals being generated by the Smart Meter.

TO MY VIRGINIA NEIGHBORS

Neighbor:

My name is Dean Tsutras. My wife Maria and I recently bought and moved into 8163 - the house with the columns - and are very excited to be here in this awesome and beautiful neighborhood. We have already done a lot of renovation and restoration work on the home, and are in it for the long run. If we haven't met you yet, we look forward to it very soon.

The reason for my letter to everyone, is one of great importance for all of us ... Not only here in our neighborhood, but everywhere else. If you can give me a few minutes to cover the subject, I'm sure you will find it interesting. It deals with "advances" in modern electronic technology that may or may not be as safe as what you have been told, or what you currently believe to be true. There are also elements of this technology that you may consider to be a borderline invasion of your privacy, and actually put your personal information at risk.

There are basically 2 subjects I would like to cover. Number One is Comcast-Xfinity wireless radiation coming from the cable box/router, and number two is Dominion Power's process of conversion from the standard decades old analog meters, to newer digital, and eventually smart meters. I will cover both subjects as briefly as I can. Trust me, they are both important to us all.

#1 - The Cable Box/WiFi Router

If you are a Comcast-Xfinity customer, then chances are that you have their standard cable TV-WiFi router combination box in your home. These combination modem-router boxes are emitting full-power wireless EMF (Electro Magnetic Frequency) radiation through multiple internal transmitters. One signal is your own personal 2.4g password protected wireless Internet connection, and another is your 5g Internet connection.

What you dont know, is that there are two more wireless transmitters in your box that are also emitting additional EMF radiation that is preset from Comcast for a Public Hotspot that ANY Comcast Subscriber can connect to, and the other is a wireless alarm system for your home whether you subscribe to this service or not. That's FOUR wireless transmitters in one box continuously pulsing wireless radiation looking for something to connect to. They are constantly on 24/7.

Now this may not seem like such a big deal, because you can't actually SEE anything. But if you could, you would see a dangerous field of electromagnetic frequency radiation engulfing your home and beyond. Convenient yes, but at a price ... and I don't mean the monthly bill. Not to mention, anyone with a Comcast account can park in the street and connect to the Internet through YOUR box in your home. Not something I would want going on. After all, this is a quiet private neighborhood and not a public commercial shopping area.

This EMF radiation has made my own personal life miserable In many ways ... and it took me years of research and suffering to figure out the direct source of it all. Implanted inside of my chest I have multiple electronic cardiac devices and electronic wiring that I am 100% dependent upon for life. My heart cannot beat on it's own power or function. Unfortunately, a person doesn't have to be wired up such as I am to ALSO be exposed to the ill effects of this modern technology. It just makes it worse for people like me. In European studies, smart meters, cell phone and cell towers, Bluetooth, and WiFi technology have been directly linked to more than 300 symptoms of illness. This includes cancer, anxiety, MS, Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, ADD, Autism, reproductive issues, Sinus problems, and a host of other diseases and afflictions.

Though each of our homes have reasonable separation from each other by being located on large lots compared to most neighborhoods, our WiFi signals are strong enough to still cross paths. I have many test meters and software apps that I use here and I can pick up multiple available signals here in my home that are not coming from me. The same is true at your house. My particular house has been hard-wired throughout, and I have my own WIRED modem and WIRED router and ethernet hub. We have to use CAT5 hard connections throughout the house and I have absolutely no wireless technology in my home at all. Its too dangerous for me and makes me very ill. I can even feel a visitors WiFi signal on their cellphone.

As for maintaining your own health, and the unseen effects of continuous exposure to this type of non-ionizing radiation, I am suggesting that you contact Comcast-Xfinity and request they permanently turn OFF your Public Hotspot, and if you do not subscribe to their wireless security services, have them permanently turn OFF the Home Security radio transmitter-receiver. Though you have DO have access to your own WiFi 2.4g/5g, you do NOT have direct access to the Hotspot and Security radios. They are default set for ON. After years of research and personal experience, I t is my belief that your health is being affected on a cellular level. The long-range damage varies, but it cannot be ignored anymore. It is proven fact ... and much supporting literature and research information is available on this topic.

On a side note, I would like to suggest that you turn off your wireless WiFi router when you go to sleep at night. You will sleep better and be more refreshed when you wake. Give your body a chance to align itself with the natural frequencies of your body electric. Give your heartfield a chance to rest and return to its steady and unimpeded rhythm. Many of my friends have told me it has made a difference in their overall health and well-being. Turn it back on in the morning, but at night, shut it down and give your body a break.

#2 - Dominion Energy Digital/Smart Meters

Before we moved back home to Virginia last year, we were living in Orlando, Florida for 16 years. Our homes were very close together and Duke Energy had already installed Digital Smart Meters on every house in the neighborhood. These meters emit high levels of EMF radiation. As much as 90,000 bursts of cellular transmissions every 24 hour cycle. The receivers were halos of antennae mounted on top of the nearby power line towers. This was how communication would occur. It was a challenging and difficult environment for me to say the least. I was constantly at the ER with heart arrhythmia, dizziness, blurred vision, fear & anxiety, and ongoing and an ever-changing variety of symptoms. I had also been through many cardiac surgeries, the last two being in December of 2012 and May of 2013. It was brutal, with 15 days in ICU and months of attempted recovery. I'm still not back to normal, though I am better ... With precautionary measures in place.

It is estimated that at least 10% of the world population has become EHS (Electro Hyper Sensitive) due to the staggering amount of wireless technology. After discovering that I also had become EHS, we removed all wireless technology from our home, but Duke Energy has no OPT-OUT program for their Smart Meters and we were stuck. I called in Specialists and proved the negative effects this technology had on me but it fell on deaf ears. Duke Energy couldn't have cared less. For decades, analog meters have been perfectly safe, and now we have to have smart meters that emit needless radiation around the clock that can be read by not only tower mounted antennae, but power company employees in a car or truck up to 2 miles away - anytime of day or night. A needless process, and meant to not only save money on Meter Reader Employees, but also to spy on all of us.

The Smart Meters can communicate with modern "Smart Appliances" throughout out our homes and report back to the power company about our usage habits. What time we use the toaster, when we open our refrigerator, what temperature we set our thermostat to, and anything else our hi-tech appliances and devices decide to report to them. This additional wireless radiation via cellular signal transmission is harming us internally and externally. Headaches, skin rashes, anxiety, dizziness, pain, depression, heart palpitations, Sinus problems, and even more serious conditions such as MS, Fibromyalgia, Breast Cancer, and carcinogenic tumours.

The Smart Meters are coming to all our homes eventually. Its just a matter of time. The entire country is being fitted for this technology. Many neighborhoods across the USA are in an uproar over the forced smart meter usage on their homes. Lawsuits have been filed, and people have proof of the negative effects of this technology. You can even see where plants and trees have stopped growing and producing fruit just by being placed near a Smart Meter.

Its our job to reject these replacement digital Smart Meters BEFORE the power company schedules replacements. For our own good, and continued health, we must keep the exisiting analog meters on our homes. The analog meters have the little round spinning dials inside the glass dome on the side of your house. Digital meters have numbers on the display, rather than spinning dials. They may or may not be "transmitting" digital meters. The newest ones are digital and they transmit usage/data many times per hour, reporting back to the power company.

Our house currently has an old analog meter and is one of the reasons we bought a home here. A digital Smart Meter will have detrimental effects on my health and my internal cardiac implanted device. I cannot tolerate another round of technology "advances" and be able to survive. The last time, it damn near killed me ... every single day.

Not just wireless, but even basic electricity can be detrimental to our bodies. Man-made diseases have increased side-by-side with the electrification of America since the 1930's in both urban and farm communities. The power companies use the Earth as a ground to return the electric current back to the substations. In fact, in recent years Cattle Farmers across our country have filed suit against electric utilities for damaging not only their crops, but their cows and the milk production. The animals have sores on their feet from the ground current and find it hard to lay down and sleep. In cities across the country, dogs have suffered heart attacks and died simply from stepping on a steel storm drain grate, or a section of sidewalk that carries a deadly current through the metal rebar inside the concrete. Children have died from touching a metal cyclone fence at playgrounds after being shocked into a deadly heart attack. Boaters and swimmers have died from electrocution from ground current voltage connecting with the lake water. In fact, night crews drive around overnight in our cities and towns testing for stray voltage and electric current in road signs, bus stop canopies and metal frames, and anywhere else where stray electric current may come into contact with life forms. Major TV Networks have covered and produced numerous reports on these conditions. It is well-documented.

May I also suggest that you minimize electric appliance use in your bedrooms where you sleep. Keep your bed away from electric outlets. Use plastic child protection inserts for the duplexes. Charge your cellphone away from your bedroom. Leave is on Airplane Mode during the night. Your phone is looking for the nearest tower to communicate with whether or not you are using it. Otherwise, your phone cannot be found on the network when you receive a call. Do not use the CFL bulbs. These are the Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs that are spiral tubes in design. Try and use the old standard incandescent light bulbs or convert to LED. They are much safer and emit far less EMF. Use a wind-up or battery powered alarm clock instead of having an electric clock next to your bed. There are many precautions you can take to minimize your overall exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation throughout your home, car, and office. Be safe, and you will be much healthier in the process.

RECAP:

#1 - Take control of your wireless exposure. Call the cable company and turn off the Public Hotspot in your box. Turn off your router while you sleep. Limit exposure to wireless radiation whenever possible for you and for your children and grandchildren. Also minimize exposure to electrical appliances in your bedroom while you sleep.

#2 - Stay on top of Dominion Energy's plans to replace your current analog power meter with a digital Smart Meter. Once they switch it, you may never be able to go back and within 3-4 months you could begin to feel symptoms of illness you didn't have before.

I am currently assembling a detailed report that will go to Congressman Barbara Comstock for her review. I have already met with her Assistant at the Sterling office. I am very serious about protecting my health and everyone elses from the harmful effects of toxic non-ionizing EMF radiation that we are bathing in 24 hours a day. We won't know the entirety of the health danger for several more years, and by then, it will be too late to stop the progress. Be aware, and be proactive. Our future depends on it.

If you would like further information and links to online information, please send me an email to: studio@voiceimage.com and I will send you plenty of documentation from professionals around the globe.

Thank you very much.

NEW STUDY OF CELL TOWER RADIATION

World’s Largest Animal Study on Cell Tower Radiation Confirms Cancer Link

by L. Falcioni, ehtrust.org

March 22, 2018 11:00 AM

Scientists call on the World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer to re-evaluate the carcinogenicity of cell phone radiation after the Ramazzini Institute and US government studies report finding the same unusual cancers.

Question and Answer on the Ramazzini Study

One page Comparison of the Ramazzini Institute Study and the US National Toxicology Program Study

(Washington, DC) – Researchers with the renowned Ramazzini Institute (RI) in Italy announce that a large-scale lifetime study of lab animals exposed to environmental levels of cell tower radiation developed cancer. A $25 million study of much higher levels of cell phone radiofrequency (RF) radiation, from the US National Toxicology Program (NTP), has also reported finding the same unusual cancer called Schwannoma of the heart in male rats treated at the highest dose. In addition, the RI study of cell tower radiation also found increases in malignant brain (glial) tumors in female rats and precancerous conditions including Schwann cells hyperplasia in both male and female rats.

“Our findings of cancerous tumors in rats exposed to environmental levels of RF are consistent with and reinforce the results of the US NTP studies on cell phone radiation, as both reported increases in the same types of tumors of the brain and heart in Sprague-Dawley rats. Together, these studies provide sufficient evidence to call for the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) to re-evaluate and re-classify their conclusions regarding the carcinogenic potential of RFR in humans,” said Fiorella Belpoggi PhD, study author and RI Director of Research.

The Ramazzini study exposed 2448 Sprague-Dawley rats from prenatal life until their natural death to “environmental” cell tower radiation for 19 hours per day (1.8 GHz GSM radiofrequency radiation (RFR) of 5, 25 and 50 V/m). RI exposures mimicked base station emissions like those from cell tower antennas, and exposure levels were far less than those used in the NTP studies of cell phone radiation.

“All of the exposures used in the Ramazzini study were below the US FCC limits. These are permissible exposures according the FCC. In other words, a person can legally be exposed to this level of radiation. Yet cancers occurred in these animals at these legally permitted levels. The Ramazzini findings are consistent with the NTP study demonstrating these effects are a reproducible finding,” explained Ronald Melnick PhD, formerly the Senior NIH toxicologist who led the design of the NTP study on cell phone radiation now a Senior Science Advisor to Environmental Health Trust (EHT). “Governments need to strengthen regulations to protect the public from these harmful non-thermal exposures.”

“This important article from one of the most acclaimed institutions of its kind in the world provides a major new addition to the technical literature indicating strong reasons for concern about electromagnetic radiation from base stations or cell towers,” stated Editor in Chief of Environmental Research Jose Domingo PhD, Professor of Toxicology, School of Medicine at Reus University, Catalonia, Spain.

“The US NTP results combined now with the Ramazzini study, reinforce human studies from our team and others providing clear evidence that RF radiation causes acoustic neuromaa (vestibular schwannoma) and gliomas, and should be classified carcinogenic to humans,” stated Lennart Hardell MD, PhD, physician-epidemiologist with the Department of Oncology, University Hospital, Örebro, Sweden, who has published extensively on environmental causes of cancer including Agent Orange, pesticides and cell phone radiofrequency radiation.

“The evidence indicating wireless is carcinogenic has increased and can no longer be ignored,” stated University of Toronto Dalla Lana School of Public Health Professor Emeritus Anthony B. Miller MD, Member of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of Canada and the UK, and Senior Medical Advisor to EHT who is also a long-term advisor to the World Health Organization.

“This study raises concerns that simply living close to a cell tower will pose threats to human health. Governments need to take measures to reduce exposures from cell tower emissions. Cell towers should not be near schools, hospitals or people’s homes. Public health agencies need to educate the public on how to reduce exposure from all sources of wireless radiofrequency radiation—be it from cell towers or cell phones or Wi-Fi in schools,” stated David O. Carpenter MD, former Dean of the School of Public Health at the University at Albany. “This is particularly urgent because of current plans to place small 5G cell towers about every 300 meters in every street across the country. These 5G ‘small cell’ antennas will result in continuous exposure to everyone living nearby and everyone walking down the street. The increased exposures will increase risk of cancer and other diseases such as electro-hypersensitivity.”

Ramazzini Institute investigators have completed nearly 500 cancer bioassays on more than 200 compounds, and their study design is unique in that animals are allowed to live until their natural deaths in order to allow detection of late-developing tumors. Eighty percent of all human cancers are late-developing, occurring in humans after 60 years of age. This longer observation period has allowed the RI to detect such later-occurring tumors for a number of chemicals, and their published research includes studies of benzene, xylenes, mancozeb, formaldehyde and vinyl chloride.

The Ramazzini research results come in the wake of similar findings from the US National Toxicology Program (NTP) large-scale experimental studies on cell phone radiation. Both studies found statistically significant increases in the development of the same type of very rare and highly malignant tumor in the heart of male rats—schwannomas.

“This publication is a serious cause for concern,” stated Annie J. Sasco MD, DrPH, SM, MPH, retired Director of Research at the INSERM (French NIH) and former Unit Chief at the International Agency for Research on Cancer/World Health Organization, France, who commented that, “some of the results are not statistically significant due to the relatively small number of animals involved. Yet, that does not mean they should be ignored. Larger studies could turn out statistically significant results and in any event statistical significance is just one aspect of evaluation of the relation between exposure and disease. Biological significance and concordance of results between humans and animals clearly reinforces the strength of the evidence of carcinogenicity. The facts that both experimental studies found the same types of rare tumors, which also have pertinence to the human clinical picture, is striking,”

“Such findings of effects at very low levels are not unexpected,” stated Devra Davis PhD, MPH, president of EHT, pointing to a Jacobs University replication animal study published in 2015 that also found very low levels of RFR promoted tumor growth. “This study confirms an ever growing literature and provides a wake-up call to governments to enact protective policy to limit exposures to the public and to the private sector to make safe radiation-free technology available.”

In January 2017 at an international conference co-sponsored by Environmental Health Trust and the Israel Institute for Advanced Study at Hebrew University, Fiorella Belpoggi PhD, Director of Research at the Ramazzini Institute, presented the study design and the findings that RFR-exposed animals had significantly lower litter weights. Belpoggi’s presentation and slides are available online. The Ramazzini findings of lower litter weights are consistent with the NTP study, which also found lower litter weights in prenatally exposed animals. At that time, the Italian journal Corriere published an article about the presentation of the Ramazzini study and quoted Belpoggi’s recommendation of “maximum precaution for children and pregnant women.”

Noting that “current standards were not set to protect children, pregnant women, and the growing numbers of infants and toddlers for whom devices have become playthings,” Davis, who is also Visiting Professor of Medicine of Hebrew University Medical Center and Guest Editor in Chief of the journal Environmental Research, added, “Current two-decade old FCC limits were set when the average call was six minutes and costly cell phones were used by very few. These important, new, game-changing studies show that animals develop the same types of unusual cancers that are being seen in those few human epidemiological studies that have been done.

In light of these results, Environmental Health Trust joins with public health experts from the states of California, Connecticut and Maryland, as well as those in France, Israel and Belgium to call on government and the private sector to carry out major ongoing public health educational campaigns to promote safer phone and personal device technology, to require and expedite fundamental changes in hardware and software to reduce exposures to RFR/microwave radiation throughout indoor and outdoor environments, and to institute major monitoring, training and research programs to identify solutions, future problems and prevention of related hazards and risks.”

“More than a dozen countries recommend reducing radiofrequency radiation exposure to children, and countries such as China, Italy, India and Russia have far more stringent cell tower radiation regulations in place when compared to the United States FCC. However, this study provides scientific evidence that governments can use to take even further action,” stated Theodora Scarato, Executive Director of EHT.

PACEMAKERS SMART METERS AND EMF RADIATION

Radio frequency sickness results from overexposure to radio frequency radiation. The symptoms include headaches, ear ringing (tinnitus), nausea, fatigue, skin rashes, irregular and/or racing heart beats, muscle twitches, difficulty concentrating, insomnia, memory problems, high blood pressure and more. Radio frequency sickness is not a disease. It is an environmentally induced functional impairment. Radio frequency sickness has real and disabling consequences. People with radio frequency sickness experience illness (or even death) upon exposure to radio frequency radiation. The most common sources are electrical pollution – high frequencies that travel on building wiring, – and transmitters – all wireless devices.

PACEMAKERS ARE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY all wireless technology, i.e., smart meters, cellphones, cordless handsets, routers, wifi and anything else that interrupts the flow of electricity, to our electrical bodies. If you happen to need a pacemaker … a cellphone and or smart meter could, may, and has killed people. You can die if you use a pacemaker in today’s highly wired world. Period. I know all to well what I am talking about, but so many are uninformed and missing the EHS boat.

Electromagnetic smog is killing all of us, one way or the other. Each will manifest a different sentence. Thanks to all this modern technology and the beast that is mankind, the cancer of this world. I hate arrogant people who judge others as to not knowing what they say. Pompous and stupid people already fill the seats and positions of this world; enough already. My job is to stay alive after being destroyed by a smart meter. My other job is to keep my children alive in a very unhealthy and very dangerous world. It is not to educate the idiots.

SMART METERS are just as dangerous, if not more, then cellphones. They radiate continuous low grade pulsed frequency at higher levels then a cellphone. If you are just at your threshold for EMF’s, a cellphone won’t necessarily send you over the edge, but I can tell you, unequivocally, that a smart meter, in your home will do it.

It has taken me a year and a half to regain some normal sense of my life. I will never be completely able to enjoy my life, at 55, the way I did for the first 54 years, completely healthy, with NO medical problems, no medications, and impeccable status as a thriving, high spirited and fun loving person.

This EHS has taken everything I have to stay sane and to continue to enjoy my friends and family. I cannot work and I cannot enjoy even going to a movie or the library. The crimes against humanity are so vast and so wide on so many levels, it is incomprehensible.

If you have a smart meter in or on your home, it needs to be removed at once. If you have a bank of them on your apartment, you need to move at once, you are in serious danger. The FCC is completely out to lunch and has no clue as to how these are corrupting all other wireless frequencies in the home. The utility companies need to be told “NO WAY” to the install.

Please be proactive, and call local legislators and go to town hall meetings to address your concerns to board members. This is my mission now, to call out the leaders and share with my community, joining FB clubs and helping others to heal from what I have learned; the different therapies, at home, mostly and healing practices, which have pretty much saved my life. It is important to reinvent yourself, get angry and voice it, you may also need to surround yourself with people who will support and understand what EHS is, if they don’t, then kick them to the curb.

if you have a pacemaker, a smart meter can interrupt it. The smart meter pulses low grade continuous radiation 24/7. Anyone who tells you differently is not telling you the truth. There have been deaths of people who wear pacemakers from smart meters. It is documented and there are case histories and testimonies regarding this matter.

This constant pulsing of high frequencies, in addition to the RF function, is causing not only interference with other electric and electronic equipment in many homes with smart meters installed, but also is causing havoc with biological systems (plants, animals and humans) in its field of exposure.

In their current form, all smart meters negatively affect the health of nearly everyone. Those who are electrically sensitive (EHS) are immediately affected. Others may not notice the effects for years, even decades. However, both the wireless radiation from the transmitters, and the ‘dirty electricity’ are suspected carcinogens. They have also been associated with autism, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, MS and asthma. The only safe path for the time being is to continue to use the old analog meters. The industry needs to redesign the digital meters before they can safely be placed on homes and businesses everywhere.

HOW EMF’S AFFECT CARDIAC PACEMAKERS

External EMFs can interfere with pacemakers and impair their function. Interference in pacemakers depends on field characteristics, technical properties and the settings of the pacemaker, users’ individual capacities, and environmental factors. A common disturbance in a pacemaker results in transfer to noise mode, when the individual programmed settings of the pacemaker are cancelled and it continues to function on general settings. Usually, when this occurs for a short time only, this malfunction does not pose any danger to the patient. Interference signals caused by EMFs can mimic the function of the heart, so that the pacemaker misinterprets the situation as normal and does not treat the real symptoms.

Hence the pacemaker stops its pacing, even when the intrinsic rhythm is poor. This malfunction can be symptomless if the person’s intrinsic rhythm is satisfactory. However, it may result in vertigo, unconsciousness and can even be life-threatening for a person who is totally pacemaker-dependent. An interference signal can also pose danger during an occurrence of an arrhythmia, especially for people with an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD), which may fail to treat potentially fatal arrhythmias.

A pacemaker can also misinterpret interference signals, resulting in unnecessary therapy treatment. This is a common disturbance in ICDs: they may recognize an external signal as a life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia and treat it by producing an electric therapy shock. This shock is usually painful and may even cause a real arrhythmia. Other pacemaker malfunctions are also possible, although more improbable.

Generally, all disturbances disappear as the distance from the interference source increases. The best way to prevent electromagnetic interference in cardiac pacemakers is to avoid staying close to devices emitting high EMFs. In the case of pacemaker interference, it is important to immediately move away from the EMF source. Depending on the severity of the disturbance, it is advised to contact the pacemaker clinic.

Modern pacemakers are well protected against electromagnetic fields. An important factor concerning the interference susceptibility of pacemakers is electrode lead polarity. Nowadays, bipolar electrode leads are most commonly used, with two electrodes at the end of the lead. This system endures EMF interference better than a unipolar configuration. Interference sensitivity may also depend on which side of the chest the pacemaker generator is located. Left side implantation of a unipolar pacemaker is more sensitive to external EMF disturbances than a right side implantation. Electrode leads of ICDs are always bipolar. In some cases, an implantation may have been made in the abdominal area, in which case the pacemaker can be exceptionally sensitive to EMF interference.

RADIATION FROM WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY DEVICES

Radiation from cordless phones, Wi-Fi routers, tablets, laptops, smartphones: Health effects and safer alternatives

Are there health effects due to the radiation of wireless modems, phones, tablets and laptops? How you can reduce your daily electromagnetic exposure? How to avoid radiation from neighbors wireless devices? Are there safe alternatives with low or zero radiation?

"The European Parliament,(…), whereas wireless technology (mobile phones, Wi-Fi/WiMAX, Bluetooth, DECT landline telephones) emits EMFs that may have adverse effects on human health, (…) proposes that the EU's indoor air quality policy should encompass the study of "wireless" domestic appliances, which, like Wi-Fi for Internet access and digital enhanced cordless telecommunications (DECT) telephones, have been widely adopted in recent years in public places and in the home, with the result that citizens are being continuously exposed to microwave emissions” European Parliament resolution on the health problems associated with electromagnetic fields (2008/2211) \[1]

Cordless phone (DECT) radiation

dect wireless phone Cordless phones usually use DECT technology (= Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) emitting at a frequency of 1900MHz.

The handset emits radiation only while talking similarly to a cell phone.

On the other hand, the cordless phone base emits constantly create a major electromagnetic burden depending on where it is situated.

The strength of the DECT base varies depending on the phone model. A typical maximum power rating is \~ 250mW with strong periodic pulses.

According to surveys \[2] cordless phones account for 23% of our daily exposure to artificial radiation wireless.

"WiFi/wLAN routers, DECT phones and other wireless devices like baby monitors produce radio frequency emissions that will affect millions of people and babies in their homes, and should be halted until other, less harmful options are investigated." Lukas Margaritis, professor, Department of Cell Biology and Biophysics, Faculty of Biology, University of Athens, Athens, Greece \[3]

Wireless internet modem / routers (WLAN or Wi-Fi)

wi fi modem router The second most common antenna inside homes are the wireless Internet modems Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) or WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network).

Wireless modems continuously emit radiation at 2400 MHz frequency and usually their power varies depending on the model. A typical maximum power rating is 100mW.

Since you don't want a cell phone mast next to your house, why do you install wi-fi antennas inside it?

Did you know that the antennas of wireless phones and modems may expose you to higher high-frequency electromagnetic fields than a nearby cell phone mast?

This is because they are used indoors in very short distance from our body.

Wireless tablets, laptops and smartphones

Unfortunately what most do not realize is that the Wi-Fi antennas installed in desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphone also emit radiation to connect wirelessly to the wi-fi modems.

These might have lower power from the antennas of cordless phones and wireless modems and routers, but due their smaller distance from the body, they usually expose us to greater radiation.

Wi-Max networks = Wi-Fi radiation for everyone!

Wi-Max networks are wireless networks with much greater range than the typical Wi-Fi antennas.

Wi-Max antennas are installed by telecommunications companies at various locations in residential areas to provide wireless Internet in entire cities or parts of cities (usually range> 30 km).

Subscribers WiMax services are able to have wireless internet in any areas covered.

Unfortunately, those not subsrcibed to Wi-Max services will also receive their radiation. (see impact in Sweden: Swedes hit Hard by WiMAX Waves )

What are the health effects

Although there have not been many studies on the effects of radiation emitted by wireless phones and modems it is likely that in long-term they can cause symptoms similar to other high frequency electromagnetic field sources.

DECT phones and WI-FI modems emit pulsed radiation which is considered biologically more burdensome than the older analogue signals (e.g. tv and radio antennas).

The conclusion of the Panel BioInitiative Working Group \[4], which took into account more than 2000 surveys on the subject of electromagnetic radiation was that:

"There is substantial scientific evidence that some modulated fields (pulsed or repeated signals) are bioactive, which increases the likelihood that they could have health impacts with chronic exposure even at very low exposure levels. Modulation signals may interfere with normal, non-linear biological processes. Modulation is a fundamental factor that should be taken into account in new public safety standards; at present it is not even a contributing factor. To properly evaluate the biological and health impacts of exposure to modulated RF (carrier waves), it is also essential to study the impact of the modulating signal (lower frequency fields or ELF-modulated RF). Current standards have ignored modulation as a factor in human health impacts, and thus are inadequate in the protection of the public in terms of chronic exposure to some forms of ELF-modulated RF signals. The current IEEE and ICNIRP standards are not sufficiently protective of public health with respect to chronic exposure to modulated fields (particularly new technologies that are pulse-modulated and heavily used in cellular telephony)."

Wireless radiation is now listed by the World Health Organization as a possible carcinogenic and is linked to insomnia, depression, brain cancer, testis, skin, salivary gland, male infertility, miscarriages pregnancy, the leukemia, etc.

The levels of exposure to radiation of wireless phones and modems inside the houses is often larger than the ones found in residences near mobile phone masts.

At least five epidemiological studies have linked the presence of mobile phone masts with the significant deterioration of health of the neighboring population (increase of cancers, insomnia, headaches, inability to concentrate, memory loss, visual and hearing disorders, nausea, irritability, skin, cardiovascular and motor problems ). More about the effects of mobile phone masts..

Cancer

The risk of brain cancer is 220% higher for more than a decade cordless phone users and 440% higher when holding the phone mainly from the same side of the head (Hardell et al. \[5], \[6] ).

"Studies of people have shown that both ELF and RF exposures result in an increased risk of cancer, and that this occurs at intensities that are too low to cause tissue heating. Unfortunately, all of our exposure standards are based on the false assumption that there are no hazardous effects at intensities that do not cause tissue heating. Based on the existing science, many public health experts believe it is possible we will face an epidemic of cancers in the future resulting from uncontrolled use of cell phones and increased population exposure to WiFi and other wireless devices. Thus it is important that all of us, and especially children, restrict our use of cell phones, limit exposure to background levels of Wi-Fi, and that government and industry discover ways in which to allow use of wireless devices without such elevated risk of serious disease. We need to educate decision-makers that ‘business as usual’ is unacceptable. The importance of this public health issue can not be underestimated.” Dr. David Carpenter, School of Public Health, Albany, New York University \[7]

Cardiac arrhythmias

A recent study by Dr. Magda Havas shows that radiation from wireless phones bases causes tachycardia and arrhythmias \[8].

Infertility

For Wi-Fi enabled laptops there is evidence that they affect male fertility, due to their close contact with the genital area.

Recent research \[9] showed significant reduction in the mobility of sperm and DNA fragmentation of sperm after the 4-hour use of laptop connected wirelessly to the Internet.

More about the association of wireless radiation with infertility..

Electrohypersensitivity

Radiation from cordless phones and Wi-Fi networks is associated with the greater increase of electrohypersensitivity: allergic reactions to artificial electromagnetic radiation, with symptoms such as skin rashes, dry eyes and mouth, swollen sinuses, ringing of the ears, nausea, migraines, etc.

The people affected have difficulties to work and have social life and therefore the electrohypersensitivity is now recognized as a disability in Sweden (where it is assumed that affects 3% of the population!), while Britain and Canada are considering to do the same.

The European Parliament "calls on Member States to follow the example of Sweden and to recognize persons that suffer from electrohypersensitivity as being disabled so as to grant them adequate protection as well as equal opportunities." \[10].

According to Swedish researchers Hallberg and Oberfeld, by 2017 50% of the population will develop symptoms of electrohypersensitivity \[11]!

What Apple says about the safety of the iPad

According to Apple, the use of the iPad should be done a certain way so as not to exceed the safe levels of exposure to electromagnetic radiation!

Note that the permissible exposure limits to radiation from wireless devices are already hundreds of times higher than the limits proposed by various scientific bodies in recent years (see our article about the safe exposure limits here).

For the iPad, Apple states the following \[12]:

"iPad contains radio transmitters and receivers. When on, iPad sends and receives radio frequency (RF) energy through its antenna.

The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® antennas are located behind the screen to the left of the Home button, and behind the Apple logo. A cellular antenna is located at the top edge of the iPad Wi-Fi + 3G, when oriented with the Home button at the bottom.

For optimal mobile device performance and to be sure that human exposure to RF energy does not exceed the FCC, IC, and European Union guidelines, always follow these instructions and precautions:

Orient the device in portrait mode with the Home button at the bottom of the display, or in landscape mode with the cellular antenna (located under the black edge at the top of the device) away from your body or other objects.

If you are still concerned about exposure to RF energy, you can further limit your exposure by limiting the amount of time using iPad Wi-Fi + 3G in wireless mode, since time is a factor in how much exposure a person receives, and by placing more distance between your body and iPad Wi-Fi + 3G, since exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.

You should always keep iPad more than 15 cm (6 inches) from a pacemaker when the wireless device is turned on."

Higher risk for children and pregnant women

Developing organisms are more vulnerable to radiation because their immune system is not fully developed, youthful cells proliferate faster making them more vulnerable to genetic damage and penetration of radiation is deeper due to their thinner bones and increased conductivity.

The wireless pulsed radiation emitted by wireless phones and modems (Wi-Fi) is considered by some scientists to inhibit the formation of normal electromagnetic activity of the brain and to be associated with the rapid increase in autism cases, attention deficit syndrome etc.

The Russian Committee for the Protection against Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection warns \[13]:

"Electromagnetic radiation from Wi-Fi creates an additional burden for the child brain, whose body is in a state of development and the formation of mental activity. During this period, children are most susceptible to adverse environmental factors".

BBC documentary on the impact of Wi-Fi and Wi-Max in schools and cities

When are the safe limits of exposure to the radiation of cordless phones, wireless modems, laptops etc are exceeded?

The official exposure limits to radio frequency radiation, which are based only on short-term immediate effects such as heating of the tissues, are not exceeded even if you sit on you DECT base station or wi-fi antenna.

However, in recent years several scientific organizations, based in numerous new studies showing health effects from much lower levels of radiation, have proposed new safe limits for long-term exposure.

Most recommended exposure limits are <100μW/m 2.

In rooms with cordless phone or wireless modem bases radiation levels are usually greater than 1000μW/m 2.

The limit of 100 μW/m 2 is frequently exceeded even when the base of the cordless phone or modem is in adjoining rooms (yours or neighbors).

The nearby use of a wireless enabled desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile phone usually gives exposure values> 1000μW/m 2.

High exposures to wireless radiation may be caused by non-visible radiation sources such as camouflaged cell phone towers, neighbors cordless phones, modems, baby monitors, etc. You can easily detect these sources and measure their radiation with a high frequency radiation meter.

"We need to test the electromagnetic exposure of the sleeping location of the mother during pregnancy and also her working area, if she is working. If the mother is sleeping in strong electromagnetic fields the child will be neurologically abnormal. Within 2 years the child will develop all the signs of autism, neurological dysfunction, hyperactivity, learning disorders and so on." Dr. Dietrich Klingkchart, Institute of Neurobiology Washington \[14]

Reduction Tips of exposure to radiation from wireless phones and modems

replace the cordless phone with a wired one or at least with cordless phone with zero radiation in stand by (see below)

replace the wireless connection to the internet with a wired one using network (Ethernet) cable to connect the computer to the modem. Alternatively use Powerline adaptors that pass the internet signal through the existing power cables (Broadband over power lines BPL or power-line Internet): you install a Powerline adapter into an outlet and connect it with the modem - the other Powerline adapters you install them in sockets of remote rooms where you want Internet and you connect with them there your desktop or laptop or any device that has an ethernet port).

some tablets or smartphones also can connect with an ethernet cable via an ethernet-mini USB adaptor but you have to check with the manufacturer first.

in the case you don't replace the wireless modem and dect phone, we advise you to switch off at least at night (or during sleep hours in general) and place them away from high use areas

turn off the wireless function of the laptop, tablet and mobile when it is not necessary. Their wi-fi antenna is transmitting even if you are not connected to the Internet

Shielding fabric can be wrapped around the cordless phone and wireless modem when it can not be switched off (eg at work). Although the range of the phone and the modem will be limited, it is possible that you wiil not have functional problems especially when the areas covered are small.

to reduce the electromagnetic fields that your genitals receive when you keep your wi-fi enabled laptop or tablet, nest to tour body is feasible by using electromagnetic shielding materials that reflect more than 99% of wireless radiation. Examples of related electromagnetic shielding materials: disc Defenderpad (www.defenderpad.com), clothes and aprons Belly Armour (www.bellyarmor.com), Naturell fabric.

What to do with the wireless devices (cordless phones, wireless modems etc.) of your neighbors

Even if you are among the few which do not use wireless phones or modems, you are most likely to receive these radiations from one of your neighbors, especially if you live in an apartment building (eg you can do a simple search of wireless networks with your mobile phone, laptop or the / your PC). What can you do?

You can locate your neighbors devices and see how much radiation they expose to with a high frequency radiation meter.

If there are high radiation measurements due to your neighbors, you can move the bed, the sofa or office desk away from the wirless hotspot you have located.

Fabric reflecting wireless radiation can be placed under your sofa or your bed when the radiation source is located underneath.

With special shielding paint you can paint the walls or ceilings from which the radiation enters to your rooms.

Practical solution for the bedroom, offer the shielding bed canopies, which is especially useful in buildings with dozens of wireless phones and Internet networks.

emf shielding canopies

More about electromagnetic shielding materials.

Are there low or zero radiation cordless phones?

Cordless telephones low or "zero" radiation is specific models Gigaset ECO DECT supporting ECO + mode for zero radiation in standby mode.

Activating the optional ECO + mode the base station signal transmission reset when you are not talking on the phone.

The base station transmits signal only when necessary, ie while talking on the phone when the phone rings when you are preparing for an outgoing call, or when asking for some information from the base station (eg Missed calls).

When there is no use of the device, there is cessation of any communication of the base station to the handset. This applies whether the handset is in the base station or outside the base station.

Some cordless Gigaset ECO DECT support and ECO mode for 80% less emission of radiation during the speech.

To emit these Gigaset cordless phones reduced radiation should first energopoieisete optional ECO functions and ECO +!

These phones further save 60% energy compared with conventional wireless.

The Gigaset puts continually new phone models that support ECO functions + and ECO. Ask the manufacturer or outlets for new and / or more economic models that emit no radiation in standby mode (ECO + mode). If you want to make sure to check specifications of each phone in the Gigaset website. Examples phones that support ECO mode +: A220 (economic model), AL110, AS180, A380, A580, C380, C590, C610, E490, S790, SL780 etc. Phones Gigaset find them in most electronics stores (Kotsovolos, German, Frame etc).

SMART METERS AND EKG RESULTS

AMI Smart Meters Interfere With Human Heart Rhythms, EKG Proves

POSTED ON MAY 20, 2017

NATURAL LIVING

By Catherine J. Frompovich

One of the most intrepid independent lay EMF/RF and AMI Smart Meter investigators Warren Woodward of Sedona, Arizona, has taken upon himself to put AMI Smart Meters to the heart test.

First, some backup information.

Now, about that heart test, an EKG, Warren subjected his healthy heart to, to prove whether EMFs/RFs emitted by AMI Smart Meters can, or do, affect the human heart.

Warren stated further in his email,

Now consider EKG Proof That “Smart” Meters Affect the Human Heart, a 7+ minute video.

Furthermore, heart patients with Pacemakers have complained about erratic heart activity ever since an AMI Smart Meter was installed on to their utility service, especially an electric meter!

Now we have documentation there are very real legal problems for utility companies and state public utility commissions

When do the AMI Smart Meters safety recalls begin? Better still, when will all the class action lawsuits fire up in every state across the entire United States?

Of the many lectures I give, the one that elicits the most disbelief from my audiences is about the potential health dangers posed by wireless frequencies. The resistance to this message comes from the fact that it's an inconvenient warning about conveniences (think cell phones and cordless phones) that have become thoroughly incorporated into modern life. But the reality, convenient or not, is that such technologies aren't totally safe – at least not for everybody.

The American Academy of Environmental Medicine, an international association of physicians and other professionals who specialize in how environmental factors affect health, has noted the troubling downside to modern communication technology. In a recent statement, the organization recognized that some patients "are being adversely impacted" by electromagnetic frequency (EMF, the fields emitted from household wiring and appliances) and radio frequency (RF, the fields emitted by microwaves and wireless technology). Such people, the association says, are "becoming more electromagnetically sensitive." Furthermore, such exposure "may be an underlying cause of a patient's disease."

William Rea, M.D., who coauthored the association's position paper, first reported on EMF sensitivity back in 1991. Since then research suggests a troubling connection between man-made electrical field exposure and a variety of medical disorders and symptoms that include neurological conditions such as depression; dizziness; tingling, burning, itching, and numbness in the skin; musculoskeletal pain and spasm; pulmonary issues such as chest tightness and shortness of breath; nausea; burning eyes; pressure in ears; tooth pain; and heart disease and vascular effects such as arrhythmias, racing heart, and edema.

Cardiology concerns

While most cardiologists are not aware of the impact environmental electromagnetic and wireless frequencies can have on heart function, it is a subject that has long concerned me. That's because living beings are conglomerates of electromagnetic energy. Our cells transmit and receive energy as part of their fundamental activities and outside frequencies can certainly interfere with these functions. A prime example is the story told to me recently by cardiologist Lee Cowden, M.D.

In 2005, Dr. Cowden moved to Arizona and had a wireless Internet system set up in his house. A short while after the computer installer left, his wife told him her heart had started to skip beats. Dr. Cowden checked her and found that she was in atrial fibrillation, meaning that her heartbeat had become irregular. It's a common cardiac arrhythmia but it can be potentially dangerous. Suspecting that the wireless system could have something to do with the problem, Lee turned it off. His wife's heartbeat returned to normal. A bit later that day, he turned the system back on and his wife experienced atrial fibrillation again.

Fast forward to 2012. Dr. Cowden and his wife rented a home in rural North Texas that was equipped with a smart meter. Using a high-frequency detector, Dr. Cowden determined that the meter was emitting a signal to the power company only once every 60 minutes. He thought he could live with it, even though his desk was just 15 feet from the meter. But then he awoke one morning with fever, chills, and coughing up yellow sputum after having spent many hours working at his desk the night before. When he checked the smart meter again he found it was now sending signals every minute – a 60-fold increase.

At the same time, his wife, for the first time since 2005, complained of palpitations. Later in the day, Lee also felt his heart beating irregularly.

Being very knowledgeable and resourceful, Dr. Cowden erected a special canopy over their beds designed to shield out RF and EMF fields. Under this canopy they were able to restore a normal heartbeat. When they left the bed, however, the irregularity returned. Finally, after moving out temporarily and having a different power company ultimately replace the offending smart meter, Dr. Cowden and his wife are "feeling great."

Dr. Cowden's story didn't surprise me, as my eldest son Step developed multiple, serious health problems, and almost died, because of a very stressful lifestyle that included exposure to intense EMF and RF fields when he worked as a day trader in Manhattan. Happily, he recovered and has rebounded robustly, but he still shies away from wireless technology as much as possible.

Fact not fiction

To be sure, these are anecdotes. But there are more and more surfacing all the time and being documented by savvy doctors, which is one reason why the American Academy of Environmental Medicine issued its warning. In my own research, I have seen reports going back decades describing symptoms of headache, fatigue, insomnia, and accelerated heartbeat. More recently there have been several reports of apparent associations between cardiac arrest and wireless systems placed in Canadian schools.

The research indicates that wireless frequencies can disturb cellular communication, cause oxidative stress in the body, and even thicken the blood. Clearly, thorough research is needed to determine the people most at risk when exposed to EMF and RF fields. Until there is a precise scientific assessment, however, you can take the following steps to help protect yourself:

Limit cell phone use. Use your cell phone as little as possible and, when you do, use the speakerphone feature to keep it away from your head. If you don't need to hold it at all, just place it on a table. And don't carry it your pockets.

Toss your cordless phones. At home, go back to corded phones attached to a land line.

Supplement. Taking CoQ10 (100 to 200 mg), fish or squid oil (1 to 2 g), vitamin C (500 to 1,000 mg), and melatonin (.5 to 10 mg) daily can help protect you from oxidative damage and bolster your autonomic nervous system and your heart rate variability (HRV).

Ground yourself. Earthing (the practice of reconnecting with the Earth either by going barefoot outside or sitting or lying on special conductive devices) is a magnificent way to protect your body from the potential damage of electric fields. It upholds healthy HRV, reduces inflammation, and improves blood viscosity.

Refuse a smart meter. Check whether your electric company has installed, or is planning to install, smart meters. Then tell them firmly you don't want one. This is especially important if you suddenly develop arrhythmias or problems sleeping at night and your cardiologist can't determine the cause. The Environmental Medical Association strongly recommends removal of these meters from the homes of patients who may be harmed by the wireless emissions.

PENETRATION EFFECTS OF EMF'S

The Effects of Electromagnetic Fields: What is Penetrating You?

by Cathee Courter with Peter MacGill

Peculiar, this culture. Many people can't tell you the source of their electricity—whether nuclear, coal, solar, wind or hydroelectric. Most people don't realize that electricity runs through metal wires because they are good conductors, but your body is a good conductor as well. In fact, every system in your body runs on electricity, from your cellular metabolism to your heartbeat to your ability to pull up a memory. Your body's electronics are much more intricate and sensitive than the electronics in your computer or cell phone.

But mention that serious health effects can result from human-generated electromagnetic fields (EMFs), and everyone and their dog seem to be able to quote propaganda on how these frequencies and their emitting devices are "proven safe"—which defies logic. For most consumers, information about the health effects of these fields comes from reports in electronics-based media (internet, radio, and TV) or tech-ads-dependent media (newspapers and news magazines). And the vast bulk of the research is paid for by the telecommunications industry, which cares about its sales and legal liability—not your health. This industry has spent billions of dollars in political lobbying.

There is little meaningful government oversight concerning safety. Standards of exposure in some countries are thousands times the exposure allowable in others. Making electronics companies, government agencies or employers liable for the damage they do would throw a wrench in the cogs of our global economy and lifestyles. We've collectively—through thousands of small decisions—dug ourselves into a critically unhealthy infrastructure.

A radio frequency engineer once told me, as we stood in a city park, that if we could see the invisible electromagnetic waves surrounding us, the air would look the consistency of pea soup. We'd be lucky to be able to see our toes. I asked him whether he carried a cell phone. He responded thoughtfully, "Do tobacco executives smoke? Of course not. Do electronics engineers carry cell phones? They know better."

Few people are listening to the real authority to which they have instant access—their own body. Some of the most commonly experienced effects of EMFs, like depression, brain fog, attention deficit disorder, chronic fatigue, autism, sleeplessness, anxiety, and Alzheimer's increase coffeeshop and drug corporation profits as people look for relief. But a drug-dependent fix is different than vigorous health, especially for the planet.

Most of the initial research behind the toys we hold dear—cordless phones, cellular phones, computers, the internet, and satellites—originated from military coffers with an agenda of developing ways to kill people effectively. Despite all the fun, efficiency, and horizon-expansion our devices have brought us, their inventors have seemed to continue the tradition of overlooking the needs of our bodies and the rest of the Earth in their design. Until we veer into different spiritual underpinnings with a love for all life, we're acting like suicidal teenagers in a drag race in our tech development.

When you're in intense fields for long periods, your body rallies to cope with the stress and come to an unnatural new homeostasis. Then when you're in a cleaner environment, you may experience withdrawal symptoms and crave electronics. So you may associate the cleaner environment with pain, and feel better in a dirty electrical environment. But the onslaught is damaging your health regardless of your perception of what's happening.

I call this gyration with EMFs "addiction," because I so often encounter in conversing on this subject with people the same denial, rationalization, and furtiveness one might encounter in a drug addict who is trying to hold onto his sweet poison. For instance, I conversed a few years ago with a friend who had installed ethernet during renovations of both his home and office building, "so that years from now when enough people die from wireless fields, and people are calling for wired telecommunications, I'll have the infrastructure in." He and his wife actually use wi fi. She's got advanced cancer, and they still haven't plugged into the ethernet in either their home or offices, and use their iphones constantly. He's not in denial about the effects of EMFs. But I guess his idea that "enough people have to die" to change his behavior includes his wife. It's irrational. I realize there may be many other factors involved in her cancer, but usually if people are dying, they do try to boost their health on many fronts.

Another friend's kidney shriveled up and died. He carries his cell phone over that kidney. His doctor could find no infection or other reason for it dying. This friend thinks the problem was his cell phone, but he still carries it.

Part of the problem here may be that with EMF exposure, the parts of the brain that short-circuit early on are the frontal lobes and hippocampus—parts crucial in developing insight, evolving memories, and making good judgments.

But beyond that, we are a culture addicted to EMFs, and manipulative behaviors run all through our collective legal, economic, and ecological management systems regarding them. For instance, the burden to prove that satellite emanations are harmful rests on those assaulted by them. Instead, the burden to prove their safety should rest on the satellite companies who hold hostage our collective atmosphere—our window to the rest of the galaxy.

Telecommunications companies finance government lobbyists, public relations staff, scientists, and lawyers to sequester their self-interest. They come up with ads like the one I saw on the back of TIME magazine, of a baby playing on his mother's laptop. Any respectable country would have arrested the photographer for child abuse to let a baby's developing brain come that close to such frequencies, given the hard scientific research on that issue. But we get used to these images, and play them out.

Research paid for by the telecommunications industry has found health effects in one third of studies done. Research sponsored by other sources has found health effects in two thirds of studies. Coincidence? And most research, even at universities, is paid for by the industry. (I used to be a university administrator myself, aware of the pressure to bring in the funds.) The sober reality is that even from within this corrupt system there is overwhelming scientific evidence that EMFs cause far-reaching health effects. No one can seriously, knowledgeably deny that. To say that biological processes are not electrically based is like saying the sun revolves around the Earth. And to say that EMFs from our contraptions will not interfere with those electrically-based biological processes is like saying that hitting your thumb with a hammer will not cause physical effects. We can haggle over how dire the consequences of our electronic meddling are. But it's impossible for anyone to predict accurately the effects on future generations (or if there will even be future generations who can survive in the artificial environment we've collectively manufactured). After all, EMFs cause genetic damage.

Thousands of scientific studies proved at least four decades ago, and have continued to prove, that EMFs are undeniably, often devastatingly harmful for the bodies of humans, trees, the atmosphere, etc. But if the science mattered in our technology development, our technology would look vastly different than it does. For instance, a cordless phone could be made to emit microwaves only when you're talking on it, but most are made to emit frequencies constantly—making them in some ways worse than cell phones.

My partner Peter MacGill and I used to perform electromagnetic audits in people's homes and businesses, measuring and mitigating the fields. He was a general contractor, and could easily find wiring mistakes. I'm a psychic, and could help people determine if their maladies were EMF-related or not. We've stopped doing audits. We noticed that other EMF auditors in our town were dying or getting very sick from being in other people's toxicity! We also found that people seldom changed. We'd be hired to measure the power lines around someone's house, while the wireless devices in their home gave off a load of microwaves that would have been measurable from Mars! I thought of selling devices for people to put on their phones, but found offensive these companies' assertions that they made people's phone or modem safe.

OK, maybe they help. But they are no substitute for finding wired alternatives. People acted like suggesting that they give up their cell phone (especially if it wasn't needed for their business) was like asking them to give up a beloved spouse. You saw in my above example, that the opposite was the case for my friend. He risked losing his spouse for the wi fi, as he himself believes EMFs contribute to cancer.

We are in a cultural health emergency. If you wish to live a long, healthy life in this global society, you will likely have to make huge changes in your thinking. The changes themselves don't have to be terribly difficult. But the thousands of ads you have seen, the efforts to make bad choices easy for you on the part of industry, the widespread corruption of scientific method and reporting (which is tragic for those idealistic young scientists entering the field), and your own likely addiction will require as much fortitude to live a different lifestyle as if you were in a program to heal from addictions to drugs. See, you can get away from drugs and dry out. There is nowhere on this planet, in this parallel world, where you can get away from human-generated EMFs. Can you imagine if the booze industry could rain liquor down on you everywhere you went?

If you believe that your government is watching out for your well-being, let's look a little closer. At least in my country, the U.S., these are the people who prefer a thick density of microwaves around you. Microwaves can stimulate your ear drum so that you literally hear voices in your head (like "buy, buy, buy"). They can carry frequencies that stimulate the pleasure centers in your brain, making you physically addicted to them. Your conversations can be heard through your cell phone even when it's off. Ditto your newer car. As you walk through an airport, your identity can be read through devices under the floor scanning the RFID chip in your shoes to see where you bought the shoes, and on which credit card. With a smart grid electricity metering system, which is being rolled out across the U.S. and the world, criss-crossing microwaves emitted by the meters on your neighbors' homes can show in which part of a building your body is located. These frequencies can traumatize your brain, shifting you into a state of disassociation, in which you can be easily hypnotized or even possessed.

They carry porn movies right through your body, and your body can respond unconsciously. They penetrate you everywhere you go, including our national parks, which have installed towers that transmit to sensors embedded in streams and trees. Natural microwaves, that come in from outer space, are like an essential nutrient for the body. The human-created kind are often of a more jagged-shaped wavelength, never known on Earth before. Often in wartime, armies send false messages are to their enemy through its communications networks, resulting in dire results for them if they take the information in. Human-generated microwaves are sending sitcoms and porn through the wavelengths that your body is expecting to receive evolutionary news from the universe on. You are literally being cut off from home!

Smart grid electricity meters were recently installed in our little town. Electricity through the wires is harmful, but I think most people would consider it worth the health stress because we derive such benefits from it. So why did they put radio frequencies on the electricity, and put a meter on every home in town that sprays them in all directions, 24/7, twice a minute, at a wattage almost twice that of a wi fi system and twenty times that of a medium-strength cell phone? These meters transmit to other home's meters, not just to a receiver, in a latticework. Our company tells me that these transmissions give way too much information for even its system to be able to handle, so the receiver in town only sends the info to the company once a day. And what do we get for being blasted with thousands of microwave pulses per day? We get billed once a month, without a person having to physically read our meter. (Power outages are found through the wires.) Please see our separate article on smart meters, written to our community, but applicable to all.

Over fifty municipalities have banned smart grid, and there are huge class action suits against the companies and manufacturers involved because the health problems it has cause have been monumental. I think with smart grid, the game has gone too far to convince the public that these ludicrous frequencies are in the public good, when all you get for the devastation of many people's lives is to have your electricity bill come once a month. It's obviously not about cutting the expense of hiring meter readers. These meters are expensive and corrode quickly.

So, let's look at the science to understand what's happening. But understand that our science and technology are only as good as the value system underlying them. The call for more research is a strange excuse for doing what we already know is against our best interest.

You shouldn't make the assumption that your health and well-being have any bearing on what tech is being promoted to you. You've probably come to this site wanting to know the science of EMFs. Please keep reading. We will give you a basic understanding of what electromagnetic fields are, and their effects as documented by scientists. But there is so much more going on. We will have to step back from our current way of life collectively. But don't wait for others. Do what you can.

Some of the well respected, thoroughly researched overviews of scientific studies we have listed in our Suggested Reading on the Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) section were written almost two decades ago. That EMFs had alarmingly harmful effects was well-proven even then. And the evidence has grown exponentially. In the words of Clas Tegenfeld, who has extensively researched the biological effects of EMFs, "Already there are at least 15,000 scientific reports on the subject. I am afraid the truth is that we don't want to know." (Frey, Allan H. "Headaches from Cellular Telephones: Are They Real and What Are the Implications?" Environmental Health Perspectives, March 1998. EPI1803)

This denial seems to circle around the fear that it's too late. We're headed over the cliff, and we can't seem to help ourselves. After all, I'm using the internet now to reach you.

So what to do? Numb out? Sink into some blissful virtual world until the plug is pulled on it?

This article will give you a general overview of the effects of EMFs. Peter MacGiill and I have studied their effects intensively both intellectually and in years of practical application in measuring and mitigating these fields in people's homes and businesses. We will use the scientific/mechanistic language that debates on the issue usually use. This language can be well understood in court, in convincing an employer or family member to reduce the level of EMFs in your common environment, or to satisfy your own desire to understand the devices you use. Quantum physics a century ago questioned this worldview and way of talking in proving that the perspective of the researcher directly affects the results of an experiment. In other words, there is no objective, provable truth. More recently, cutting edge parallel-world physics has thrown open our understanding of how the universe works, giving us a bigger lens from which to observe ourselves.

Our cultural world, among the many worlds it has paralleled, has taken a belief in "objectivity" to extremes. This has been an interesting exploration, but has led to a sense of separation between people, and between people and nature beings. In short, our culture seems to be set up to use people and things. It's a world where everyone I've ever met is traumatized in some way. Even watching the evenings news can be traumatizing, since so much of it presents the world in a win/lose scenario—and being a failure can be fatal. The EMF crisis is only one of many out-playings of our cultural worldview, but certainly a tragic one.

Fortunately, numbing out or participating in society's march of self-destruction are not an individual's only options. We are surrounded by a sea of more life-enhancing, nurturing, creative parallel worlds in our multiverse, and I'm happy to tell you that you're not stuck in this one. You can "leap" to another.

I've been in close communication with people from two parallel worlds that split off from the one many of my readers are on—one at least hundreds of years ago, and one a couple decades ago. They have made thousands of decisions in different directions than we have gone. On one—a technologically advanced, nature-loving culture, the "we need to rape the Earth to have jobs" argument would sound ludicrous. They have cars and planes and no pollution, and people do only work they love. The other culture has run their hi-EMF version of Earth to its logical end—near extinction. They also would not think the designer look of that metal blob with which you irradiate your brain while you communicate makes you especially sexy or tech literate.

Most of the rest of this website, www.weness.org, is on how to leap to a parallel world that suits you, and parallel world technology. Some readers able to access this website live on worlds that are like a sinking ship. The only sane thing to do is to get off. Other readers able to access this website are in worlds where an exchange of technology with other parallel worlds could still make a big difference.

See the bottom section in our Suggested Reading on the Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) for in-depth reading on these subjects.

In comparing our tech with the lifestyle of more advanced worlds I love, I've found that the gizmos that excite us here pale in comparison with what we could experience instead. In the nineties when the internet was gaining quickly in popularity, I was in charge of keeping thirty computers up-to-date for a university department, and doing their website. I had a psychic counseling practice on the side. "Zoom in, zoom out" was something I did both with graphics software and in psychic looking. I did long-distance readings for people, accessing information from their auras non-locally more efficiently than a cell phone call. My friends on the other parallel are as if in a chat room with me all the time—always accessible telepathically, except for when I'm on the computer here. EMFs jam my circuits and cut me off from easy telepathic communion. Like with Facebook, those who are attuned to my vibration can always find me psychically—they have the password.

The Earth is rising in its basic frequency as measured by the Schumann Resonances, which Wikipedia calls "a set of spectrum peaks in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of the Earth's electromagnetic field spectrum." As the Earth's vibration rises, we each are naturally approaching a higher dimensional experience in our focus of awareness. Surrounding ourselves with human-made electronics holds us back from letting our bodies go with the natural flow of our planet's evolution. I suspect we would all be telepathic if we stepped out of our contrived EMF boxes. Our contraptions are pale imitations of what our inborn talents, stimulated by structural changes in Earth's electromagnetic field, could give us. That we have ended up with these contraptions instead of more loving ways of operating says volumes about the underlying values and paradigms that have led to our rush to support developments that we can market and control.

Electrifying Sources

Some of the everyday human-generated sources of EMF's to which we're exposed include the following. (Mind you, this is my short list.)

Electricity transmission lines. About forty per cent of the electricity produced in the U.S. is lost through leakage as it moves over our 350,000 miles of high voltage transmission lines. Electricity can extend into the air, or flow down a metal pylon and travel through the earth, electrifying underground water flows. It also causes large magnetic fields around the lines.

Electricity distribution lines and electrical wiring in walls, both with electrical and magnetic fields extending around them. Electricity should flow through your home and neighborhood and loop back to the transformer—that big metal canister mounted on the telephone pole. But almost a third of the electricity gets loose and returns to the transformer through the earth below you. That electricity can come back into the building on metal water distribution pipes, electrifying your water. Apartment complexes in neighborhoods with underground power lines often have transformers nearby on the ground—those big metal boxes labelled with a drawing of a man being shocked. They rely partly on the earth to attenuate the electrical and magnetic fields, as earth is a good conductor. Water utility pumps that send water up to municipal water towers and homeowner's sump pumps can spread a blanket of EMF's through the earth as well. So much for walking barefoot in the grass as a way of letting off static charge.

Plugged-in equipment such as TV's, computers, printers, copiers, ovens, clocks, fridges, hairdryers, washing machines, dishwashers, lights, and the ubiquitous pop machine. These put out a variety of frequencies. Older TV's and computer monitors can even dish out X-rays with your evening's entertainment.

Microwave ovens. Besides producing large magnetic fields and sometimes radiation leakages, these machines deplete the nutrition of food and form carcinogenic compounds in it.

Wi fi. In the 1940's when the first microwave ovens showed that microwaves could cook flesh, people would have thought you odd for taking the door off one and spraying your home, kids, neighborhood and universe with them (these frequencies go on forever). A wi fi modem is a microwave broadcast antenna.

Cell phones. We've found that many types of cell phones have the same radiation measurements a few inches from them that a typical cell phone tower has only one hundred feet away from it. Indeed, some cell phones are designed to serve as mini-towers to other cell phones. The phones of motorists passing by can cause emissions as much as fifty times greater than when they're stationary, as the phone searches for the next broadcast tower. If no tower exists in your area, cell phones will blast you even more as they search for a signal that doesn't exist.

Cordless phones. Most cordless phones are transmitting even when the handset is resting on its base. Constantly (like a cell phone you never stop talking on). That on top of the usually large magnetic field around the battery recharger.

Broadcast antenna for AM and FM radio, TV, internet, cell phones, police dispatch, fire district radio, company communications, etc. Within one mile of my brother-in-law's Chicago office there are one hundred thirty broadcast tower structures and over two thousand broadcast antenna. And those numbers don't even include cell phones, which themselves are broadcasters. Check your neighborhood at www.antennasearch.com .

Satellite broadcasts—commercial, military, and government. There are thousands of satellites at work in the sky, showering us with transmissions.

Cars. Besides built-in wireless devices like Global Positioning System (GPS) and keyless entry, the engine and wiring cause huge magnetic fields in most vehicles. (Most new cars measure about 10 milligauss. In contrast, most homes have a background level of one to three milligauss). Hybrid cars in our measuring have had six times the magnetic fields of the worst non-hybrid cars.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Radio transmitters hidden in walls, shelves, floors, highways, etc. read the uniquely numbered chips hidden in products you buy, and the store-issued cards in your wallet. The speed you're driving can be determined by radio-tracking the chips in your tires at intervals on the highway. Airports can identify you by scanning through their floors the chips in the soles of your shoes. And stores can not only let you self-check-out; they can also electronically see what you're wearing when you enter by scanning the RFID chips and threads woven into your clothes, and the products you pick up and put back on each shelf, for marketing information. You can be beamed repeatedly with radio waves on one shopping trip and not know it.

Laser devices to scan merchandise at check-out counters and kids' fingers at some school lunch programs, and in car headlights.

Medical tests such as X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), mammogram, ultrasound, etc., and medical treatments such as diathermy, chiropractic lasers and pacemakers.

Security systems, including radio-frequency scanning to catch shoplifters, the low-level-X-ray scanning of airport passengers, and ankle devices broadcasting the location of criminals on probation.

Radar—traffic, weather, military, and airport. Not to mention automatic doors at many grocery stores. These send out transmissions and receive signals after they hit an object, like you. Also radar to keep a car in its lane.

Smart meters and smart grid. Wireless signals from the meters blanket your and your neighbors' dwellings in a criss-crossing pattern. See our site Smart Meter Effects. It's unlikely that the true purpose of smart meters is what utilities say it is.

HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program). The U.S. government's array of 180 transmitters in Alaska is capable of bouncing 3.6 million watts of radio waves off the ionosphere, or permeating it. HAARP's uses are secret, but according to its capability, could include weather modification (Hurricane Katrina did an unprecedented sharp shift in direction to hit New Orleans rather than Texas), shielding that can disable the electronics of incoming missiles, and earthquake-causing weaponry. Also radio communications enhancement, mind control of large populations (HAARP uses the same frequency as our brainwaves), and the scoping out of subterranean bunkers and geology. I hope I don't live over any underground features they want to survey with that kind of a beam. HAARP is an ionospheric heater. Is it partly to blame for global warming?

Chemtrails. Tons of barium salts and aluminum dumped from aircraft act as electrolytes to enhance the conductivity of military radar and radio waves, among other purposes. (Very toxic, but they make beautiful rainbow-colored sunsets.)

Uranium mining, processing, and waste disposal. Uranium companies often contaminate the ground, aquifers, and air around their mines and plants, releasing radioactivity.

Nuclear bomb testing. This planet has withstood at least two thousand nuclear test explosions and their fall-out, which will remain a health hazard for 4.5 billion years.

Especially near cities, even a walk "in nature" is not, electromagnetically speaking, anything resembling "natural." The navigation systems of bees, whales, and birds can be fatally compromised by EMF interference. Microwave transmissions interfere with the capillary action that pulls water or sap up a tree. We cook plants in microwave ovens and everywhere, weakening them, making them vulnerable to disease and pests.

Given how widespread these fields are, you can see the importance of reducing your exposure as much as you can.

Radiation

We'll use the term "electromagnetic fields" or "EMF's" to refer to a broad scale of wavelengths. With progressively shorter wavelengths are the electricity that runs through wires in your walls, AM and FM radio waves, cell phone microwaves, infrared lasers, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays. All these travel at the speed of light, but a research facility in Switzerland may soon break our present measuring device limits and "discover" interdimensional frequencies that are off our present scale.

So which are harmful?

"Ionizing" radiation like X-rays, known with their short wavelengths for causing DNA mutations or cancer, is often thought of as the most harmful, because it can restructure molecules by knocking electrons off their nuclear orbits. But the full spectrum is the stuff of creation, and all wavelengths can be in balance and healthy for our bodies, or harmful.

The EMF spectrum is a delicately-tuned balance of frequencies, and problems arise when parts are isolated from the whole. When we strip a grain like rice of the nutrients and enzymes naturally present that are needed to digest it, we end up with unhealthy food. Likewise, even a radioactive gas like radon in a natural granite cave will not be nearly as harmful as radon coming through cracks in a basement made of cement that was mixed without an intention of balance. And the ionizing ultraviolet rays in full-spectrum sunlight are less harmful than those artificially isolated in unshielded fluorescent lights and coming off computer screens. After all, even the mutation spurred by radioactivity can be evolutionary when supported by a balanced environment.

Some human-electronics-generated EMF's have sharp sawtooth or square shaped wavelengths unlike any found in the wild. Our bodies don't know how to respond to them.

Different kinds of cells resonate with different frequency wavelengths, and are greatly affected by them in their biochemical functioning. In fact, many experts have long believed that electronic treatments for disease are much more specific and effective than drugs, without the side effects. Radio transmissions can broadcast disease-causing frequencies to a population. Your local cell phone tower may be radiating a wavelength that happens inadvertently to promote a certain type of organ malfunction. And your body, comprised mainly of water, makes a great antenna.

Sensitive Communication

Your central nervous system pulses are a few millionths of a volt. Common sense would dictate that your body's sensitive operating system would be clobbered when you turn on a 110 volt hairdryer and hold it near your head. It's like blowing a train whistle in the ear of a nervous system designed for faint whispers.

Furthermore, the body expects communication signals to mean something to which it can respond, be they electromagnetic voices from its own cells, from other species, weather fronts, earth movements, planets, or the sun. Your hairdryer is being rude, oblivious to the havoc it's wreaking. It's not dancing with its environment. Its ears are closed to feedback. Compare the hairdryer to the moth whose signals to potential mates can be picked up a mile away. The vibration of its wings modulates its radiating infra-red body heat in communication. Your own body can probably sense the magnetic fields of the hairdryer a couple hundred yards away. Can the hairdryer sense your presence, short of it's on/off switch?

Like these moths, humans used to pick up on a range of signals from each other in meeting, beyond what was spoken verbally and in body language. Most people can hardly remember how rich social gatherings once were, before our sensitive interpersonal signal-receptors were jammed by the fields our electronics put out. Someone answering their cell phone or typing into it while you're trying to talk with them is bad enough. But relating to someone whose cell phone is blasting you with microwaves as it scans for calls even while resting on their belt is, on a subtle level, like connecting with someone wearing a loud stereo. The person may seem to indicate that they want to be closer, but their spraying you with impersonal EMF's gives the opposite message.

Scientists are now able to photograph and measure the streams of photons—the tiny particles of light—that pass between all biological organisms in communication. They have found that healers and psychics, who are skilled at transmitting these currents, perform poorly in electrical fields.

Much research has been done on "bonding" between mother and infant. Now there are children who have rarely been outside of wi fi, from conception. Their mother's energy field has always been infiltrated by tech emanations, depriving these children of the luscious experience of full, natural auric embrace.

Health Effects

The long wavelengths transmitted through the electrical wiring in our buildings produce both electric and magnetic fields. These fields noticeably fall off with distance as you step back from the source, such as away from a fridge. Shorter wavelength electromagnetic radiation, like microwaves, also weaken with distance, but the distances can be tremendous. They fan out from a broadcast tower like spokes from a wheel hub. You may have trouble picking up a signal because as they fan out you're receiving fewer of them farther from the transmitter. In a city full of broadcast towers and antennae, including portable ones like cell phones, even if your receiving equipment can't pick up all the transmissions clearly, you're being penetrated by whatever radiates in your direction that isn't blocked, however diffuse. It can come from all directions—from satellites above, your neighbor's wi fi in the condo below, the TV next door, and passing cars' cell phones. These frequencies go through trees, bodies, and most building materials.

The magnetic and electric fields emanating from our wiring and appliances contribute to the following maladies, among many others:

Cancer, which occurs when normal cell division is disrupted and runs amok. Some scientists believe the original damage is usually caused by chemicals or ionizing radiation like X-rays, and then a magnetic field provides a nurturing environment for cancer cells to proliferate. A 1990 first version of an Environmental Protection Agency report designated EMFs in the same class as cigarettes, as a class B1 carcinogen.

Miscarriages, birth defects, and childhood leukemia. Fetuses and children are both growing quickly, with lots of cell division that can sustain damage.

Depression.

Chronic Fatigue (very common in Silicon Valley).

The health effects from the proliferation of shorter wavelength radiation are even more troubling. Pediatrician John Kerner and his colleagues at Stanford University have described microwave cooking in an oven. "Atoms, molecules, and cells hit by this hard electromagnetic radiation are forced to reverse polarity 1 to 100 billion times per second. There are no atoms, molecules or cells of any organic system able to withstand such a violent, destructive power for any extended period of time, not even in the low energy range of milliwatts." \[Pediatrics Apr/92]

With radio- and microwave-based telecommunications, we're slowly cooking ourselves and all living things. The damage is cumulative, so the consequences are the same whether you have a large short-term exposure or a long-term mild exposure. And it's not optional. Satellite transmissions guarantee that every person on this Earth is being fried. All are affected irregardless of whether they've ever even seen a cell phone.

In our satellite-blasted microwave oven of a planet, as the body heats up, cells shut down their energy production, leading to fatigue. When this happens the brain shuts down. The thyroid shuts off. Blood vessels spasm, which can impair function in any organ through decreased circulation, including the heart. Direct damage to the nerves can produce neuropathies (numbness), and direct damage to the eyes, cataracts and macular degeneration. Cholesterol can rise. Asthma can be caused by EMFs producing histamine in mast cells. There can be digestive problems, tinnitus, sleep difficulties, rashes, and headaches. All tissues of the body can be affected, through direct DNA damage and oxidative damage, and the disruption of neurotransmitters, metabolism, cell signalling, cell division, enzyme function, and protein production.

Gerald Goldberg, MD explains in Would you Put Your Head in a Microwave Oven? how when blood flow to the left temporal-frontal region of the brain is impaired—the area most likely to shut down—your ability to develop insights, form judgments and respond to your environment is impaired. This same dysfunction can be seen with attention deficit disorder (ADD), autism, mania, depression, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, hyperirritability syndromes, dementia and Alzheimer's. Furthermore, the disruption of neurotransmitters can diminish your ability to calm yourself when agitated.

Other diseases linked directly in studies with EMFs include diabetes, Parkinson's, lymphomas, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Microwave radiation doesn't always singularly cause all of these conditions. There may be other factors, or co-factors such as chemical toxins and genetic predispositions. But there's no doubt that the incidence of Alzheimer's, ADD, autism, and depression has risen very closely in synch with the rise of electro-tech.

Here's an example of EMFs being a co-factor. Let's say you receive a vaccine before travelling overseas that contains aluminum, a toxin that has been implicated in the development of Alzheimers. Microwaves from your cell phone make the blood/brain barrier—which normally would block heavy metals from entering your brain—permeable. The aluminum enters your brain. You develop Alzheimers. So neither your cell phone nor the vaccine "caused" the disease, but without them, your brain would still be functioning normally. Given the prevalence of both cell phones and toxic-metal containing vaccinations in our society, could you really call either "safe," even if they were safe alone?

A typical computer-laden classroom with cell phone-laden students is a breeding ground for learning disabilities. A client of ours lived on a cell phone tower-infested hill, and her daughter tested as belonging in special ed classes. The family moved away from the towers, restricted the child's TV and computer time, and home schooled. Within a few months she tested well above special ed, finally able to concentrate. How many kids never get the chance of a thinking-friendly classroom environment? Instead of supplying an electrically calm space, we supply Ritalin. A Swedish study found that kid's brains are affected for long periods even after very short-term cell phone use, impairing their ability to study. I understand that parents want their kids to "get ahead" in the world, which may require being up on tech. But it's interesting that the part of the brain first destroyed by radiation is not the logical engineering part. It's the capacity to see the big picture. It's the ability to reflect to one's parents ten years later, "Why on Earth did you give me a cell phone when I was young and my brain was still developing, my skull was thinner, and my soft brain tissue allowed deeper penetration of radiation? What have I lost?"

When the mortgage company I worked for in the eighties computerized their accounting, out went the ledger-laden desks, replaced by back-to-back computers divided by gray cubicles. Within a year I was on anti-depressants, prescribed by my maternal cousin's psychiatrist. At the next reunion of my paternal relatives, I learned that fully half my cousins there were on anti-depressants too. I concluded that I had faulty genes, and decided not to have children. When aunts and uncles didn't admit to having such maladies, and didn't remember their older relatives suffering either, I thought they must not be as in touch with themselves as the younger generation, or hesitated to speak poorly of their family members.

However, mental illness has certainly turned out to be more than a genetic phenomenon. More than one in four U.S. Americans ages eighteen and older suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. And the 2007 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey discovered that 6.9% of high school students had attempted suicide in a year. Welcome to the new normal in the age of tech.

EMF's are one environmental hazard that cuts across social class, and even lifestyle. Some researchers say we've reached the point where the background radiation is almost as great as the radiation from a cell phone when you're using it. Microwave broadcasts rain on those who want the service as well as those who don't and are already sickened by it—with no escape. And even those who don't use cell phones share the road with drivers who chat while driving, whose brain functions are damaged to the extent that their response time is that of a drunk driver with .8 blood alcohol level. This effect lasts for fifteen minutes after they hang up. (The metal frames of cars make it more difficult for the phone to pick up signals, so the phone works much harder, making in-car talk ten times as dangerous to your health as out-of-car cell phone use.)

Research

"I used to think we could solve the environmental crisis by throwing enough good science at the problem. I was wrong. The primary threat isn't pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, or habitat destruction. It's selfishness, greed, and apathy. We need a spiritual and cultural transformation to deal with that."

— Gus Speth, dean, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies

Most books on the biological effects of EMFs comment on the sad state of scientific ethics. Science is bought and sold in our culture through irrelevant research that distracts, through P.R. spins that distort the results, through industry grants to universities, and through the revolving door of employment between our regulatory agencies and industry lobbyists. I love reading about health-related research, and in no other area have I come across whistleblowing scientists saying how they've been severely harrassed when their results didn't match their funders' expectations. The best research gives us new understandings of how the body and electricity work, without political agenda.

You'll find wonderful resources that discuss in depth legitimate scientific studies in our Suggested Reading on the Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) section.

EMF's are difficult to study for a number of reasons. There is no control group on the planet anywhere who has not been subjected to EMF's, so this is not a double-blind study in which you are unwittingly participating. Scientists usually test only one toxin, whereas in reality there are now hundreds of thousands of toxins interacting with each other in unforeseeable ways. And no one can predict now what effect forty years of satellite irradiation will produce in your body.

Studies don't prove broad statements like "cell phones are safe." Research can show that certain effects were or were not found at specific frequencies in certain populations, which of course does not prove that other effects would not be found at other frequencies or in other populations (such as, say, liver cells, fetuses or migrating birds). For many years scientists were mainly asking if there were thermal effects from radiation—a heating of tissue. We now know that there are many effects caused by radiation, likely far more than we currently have the capacity to measure.

The environment and our bodies are complex. No one will ever prove definitively that your particular cancer or your depression are caused singly by EMF's. And no one will ever prove that they're not. The armchair consumer stance is to wait for the experts to find us the perfect drugs for all ills, despite our self-defeating behaviors. But the question is, do you want to get well (or stay well)? The good news is that changing self-defeating behavior is often free and relatively easy compared to the cost of suffering. And it can be interesting to do your own experimentation. For instance, you might try replacing a cordless phone with a corded phone for a month and see how you feel.

Corporations should have to prove that their devices are safe before unleashing them on the public. But this they know they cannot do.

Reading about these studies has helped me a great deal. However, if most people made choices based on rational thinking, companies would not spend billions on advertising, and few humans with any sense at all would smoke cigarettes. Changing our patterns of thinking to become more discriminating can take some effort. It's worth it.

Thoughts to Reconsider

Perhaps Peter and I are fools to think we can cut through the programming of the mountains of tech ads you've seen in your lifetime in one article. But here goes.

"I'm not affected by these fields"

If you're a biological being who doesn't possess supernatural powers, you are adversely affected by these fields.

This is a touchy subject. The last thing I want to do is plant in your mind an unconscious suggestion that it's inevitable you'll get sick. I truly wish for you a long, healthy life. And my aim is to help you achieve that by helping you make informed decisions.

We're in an unprecedented situation where no one on Earth lives outside the laboratory of this experiment. We're all guinea pigs in the hands of industry and government. Few of us can remember how it felt to be alive in a body in the days before human-generated electricity or radio. My hunch is that most people don't know what "feeling good" really feels like. We have days when we feel better, and days when we feel worse. But we never have days when our bodies are not dealing with stress from being bombarded by strange frequencies that millions of years of evolution haven't prepared us for.

Researcher Gerald Goldberg, MD writes, "It is well established in the medical and scientific literature that there is a lag period of approximately 5 to 7 years from the time of initial exposure to radiation to the development of full blown disease." He states, "We are potentially faced with a health crisis that will cripple most industrialized nations. . . . We are on the verge of a crisis that our current health infrastructure will be incapable of dealing with." (Would you Put Your Head in a Microwave Oven? p. x.)

Since the damage is cumulative and permanent, there's a good chance you won't know you've developed a serious condition until it's too late to reverse it. For instance, my friend whose kidney shriveled up and died under the area where he carried his cell phone discovered its likely effect too late. This is why our policymakers should take the long view and error in favor of prevention.

Most people can handle a certain amount of stress, but when they cross their threshold of tolerance, they spiral into ill health. Stressors can be environmental chemicals, psychological pressures like a job or relationship loss, or a neighbor setting up a wi fi antenna. With so much involuntary exposure to these fields, it's important to take charge of reducing whatever load you can.

Sadly, if your brain has been damaged by EMFs, you may thereby lack the judgment and insight to realize it. And your devices may be contributing to the health demise of loved ones, whose illnesses will certainly affect you.

You may be affected by EMFs in other ways. B. Blake Levitt writes:

The configuration of pine needles and the leaf veins of deciduous trees make them perfect antenna receivers. . . . Microwaves are also thought to act on soil, plant life, and water in much the same way as microwave ovens act on food, only slower. Minute electrical currents travel down a tree trunk, flow into the ground in the form of electrical current, enter the soil, and create a type of acidification by means of an electrolytic process that effectively kills all living microorganisms there, leaving the soil unable to sustain new growth. (Electromagnetic Fields: A Consumer's Guide to the Issues and How to Protect Ourselves, p. 7.)

Your food supply depends on healthy soil. Weakened trees may be subject to pests like the mountain pine beetle, and dead trees fuel forest fires.

We've mainly talked so far about long-term conditions and diseases with fairly cut-and-dried diagnoses. There is a condition called electrohypersensitivity that affects up to a third of the population, with 3% to 8% experiencing downright disability. These are just the people who have figured out that certain of their health problems, such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, depression, rashes, irritability, blurred vision, brain fog, sleeplessness, muscle and joint pain, arrhythmias, asthma, etc. occur only when they're in high EMF settings. However, there are many more people who are never outside of high EMF settings, and don't realize their symptoms would clear up if they could spend time in healthier environments.

It's a toss up, what's better—to be more sensitive and hurting, so that you're motivated to minimize exposure. Or to be less sensitive—in the "these fields don't affect me" camp—less likely to prevent serious problems that may suddenly hit you down the line. Whatever your sensitivity level, we're all in this uncontrolled experiment together, and it's time to take back our power.

"Just think positively and these fields won't harm you."

I agree that positive thinking helps health. However, when I've heard this said, it's always been by some cell phone junkie who didn't want to turn the thing off at my request!

Various quantum physicists and channelers have given us knowledge about how our intentions can affect or even form our experience. But in a narcissistic culture, people often feel the whole world should revolve around them. If you can overcome the effects of your cell phone with your mind, that's great. But what about the rest of us—human, animal, plant, and rock—whom you're hurting with your behavior?

Plain and simple, if someone uses a cell phone, they are financially supporting a massive polluting of the airwaves that belong to all of us by a corrupt industry. Now, many people feel they have little choice but to do that, given the way society is structured. But I would invite those gifted in setting powerful intention to come out of wishful thinking about the status quo.

We can create healthy tech. But we have to intend it and make changes—not just think positively about the extremely harmful tech we have.

"I heard it on the news"

For decades, we've suffered a white-out on EMF health effects in the mainstream print media, with their multitudes of tech ads. Now most publications are moving heavily onto the web for their very existence. To expect them to report objectively on the health effects of the fields you are subjecting yourself to at the time you're accessing their site is naive. Ditto radio and TV.

I've rarely seen symptoms of EMF exposure besides cancer even mentioned in the press. Symptoms you might be feeling because you're on the computer or TV, like headaches, skin rashes, irritability or fatigue are never mentioned.

I look to books as my primary sources. Non-commercial websites and public radio stations also sometimes wander into grounds where advertisers have no foothold. If you see an article that doesn't make bold claims like "no adverse health effects have been proven" (thousands of studies have found effects), isn't sandwiched between tech ads, or adjoining prescription drug ads (drugs can mask the brain damage caused by electro-pollution), and even cites the funding source of the study in question, you might consider it. Otherwise regard it as seriously you would an infomercial.

Projected health effect costs are never mentioned in articles on new tech entering the public arena, such as wireless devices purchased by school districts, new cell phone towers up for ratification by city councils, or smartgrid technologies from our electric utility companies. Call the white-out financially-driven censorship, if you will. It undermines democracy and has led to tremendous suffering, as well as sky-rocketing health care costs.

For good sources of news, see our Suggested Reading on the Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs).

"Sick people are inferior."

People who are ill are not always the most pleasant to be around. They're generally not chipper. And in a competitive society that doesn't value life for its own sake, they're often seen as slackers, drags, or otherwise vaguely bad. Often people talk about disease as if it's a war or a sports event where if you try hard enough, you'll beat it. Therefore, if you're sick, you're a loser.

If you have an environmental disease such as lung cancer from asbestos exposure, you at least can vent your anger about the violation of your body toward some impersonal corporation or former employer. And you may even get sympathy and support from family and friends. With electrosensitivity, it's likely that family and friends are the perpetrators themselves, violating your right to a healthy environment. It's as if the person with lung cancer were surrounded by people who were addicted to asbestos, or whose livelihoods depended on asbestos dust saturating the air everywhere. Many people sickened by EMFs have had to leave family, residence, and employment behind to get relief from exposure. The problem is, there's really no place to go that's human-generated-EMF free.

As more and more people become electrosensitive (or become aware that their present symptoms are electricity-related), and we find that the majority of us are making a bigger compromise in quality of life than the convenience and efficiency of our devices are giving back, a huge rethinking of our basic values and societal structures will be called for. Rather than judging the victims around us, we may be relying on them to help see us through to collective sanity on this issue.

"Wireless is progressive."

We're building major blocks of our economic infrastructure around "cloud" technologies. These require workers to have wireless access to their company's database a distance away (UPS drivers, for instance), let alone cell phone access. This business reliance on a wireless infrastructure will make it very difficult to retrace our steps when the epidemics hit.

Prominent scientists are predicting major breakdowns of both wireless and wired networks—satellite and power line functioning, etc.—as solar flares increase as expected. And the thousands of satellites currently in use are in danger of hitting not only each other, but the thousands of pieces of space junk now orbiting our planet. A satellite typically costs hundreds of millions of dollars to build and launch. A lawyer in the field told me he doesn't see them having a viable future, given their cost, vulnerability, and the time it takes to replace a damaged one. Successful businesses of the future may be those who can survive a major wireless communications breakdown.

The following are so-called progressive innovations that are coming soon if we don't quickly come to our senses and block them:

Wi-Max antennae, each with the strength to cover 38 square miles, will soon blanket the country with no relief anywhere. They'll be on 24/7, during people's sleep time when they're one hundred times more vulnerable to electro-harm, sleep being the normal time for the body to repair itself.

Broadband over power lines, which enables the transmission of broadband internet signals along ordinary power lines, is also spreading quickly. Camilla Rees writes in Public Health SOS: The Shadow Side of the Wireless Revolution (p. 99):

"The unfortunate aspect of this technology is that it will bring these frequencies into the home on the electrical wiring. We already know that dirty electricity, frequencies other than 60 Hz, are making people sick. Studies of dirty electricity show an association with cancers, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, tinnitus, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, etc. Once broadband over power lines become operational a lot of people are going to become ill."

L. Lloyd Morgan has said that since the electrical wires in our buildings surround us on all sides, "it will be like being wrapped in a radio transmitter antenna." (Rees, p. 100).

Versions of this technology, for use with your own modem, are already being sold.

Once unhealthy infrastructure is established, it's very difficult to backtrack.

The proliferation of wireless has been a step backwards technologically—not progress—when you factor in the health of humans and the planet. The gridwork of telephone and fiber optics lines in developed countries is a precious commodity. Those who are fortunate enough to live in countries with this amazing infrastructure might well value it. People who use cordless phones plug into this blessing and transmit out a health hazard.

"Cell phones are inevitable."

If we repeat over and over, "cell phones are inevitable," will that reduce their health consequences?

In the U.S. we have laws limiting other forms of pollution. And we have the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which essentially legislates cell phones as inevitable. This act has made it illegal for a local community to refuse the installation of towers and antennas on health or environmental grounds. However, the liability for any ill health effects that result falls on the town, not the utility company.

I hope it's irrelevant that the telecommunications industry in the U.S. is beholden to the government (and behind it, to the military) for giving it what it has wanted in terms of laws. It's well known that certain frequencies that can be broadcast from cell towers affect the human brain in predictable ways, and can be used for mind control of large populations.

According to researcher Nick Begich, all new cell phones have a built-in microphone that can pick up your conversations even when your phone is off. All new cars have a similar hidden microphone. The emanations coming from some towers can be narrowed to put audible sounds in the head of one person. The contents of our garbage can now be scanned, and equipment is under development that can read your very thoughts. Is it inevitable that future generations will not have the concept of "privacy"—even in their own heads?

France and Korea ban cell phones in primary schools. Israel bans the sale of wi fi for residences. Here in the U.S., however, we're progressive. And progress is inevitable.

What's inevitable is not cell towers. It's litigation.

It's common for people to involuntarily live in fields from several wi fi antennae, TV's, computers, etc. permeating their space, with the off buttons to those gadgets locked behind others' doors. We may well see lawsuits around neighbors' wi fi and cordless phones. Their emissions are much worse than second-hand smoke because it's so difficult to shield against them.

Insurers like Lloyds of London are already refusing to insure wireless tech companies. You might want to take future liability (and ethics) into consideration in deciding whether to buy stock in that industry.

"Electricity is a green source of energy."

Say, what? Are you talking about electricity made from coal, or from a nuclear plant? Switching from print to web is not greener.

Medical researcher and two-time Nobel Prize nominee Robert O. Becker, MD has said, "I have no doubt in my mind that at the present time, the greatest polluting element in the earth's environment is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields. I consider that to be far greater on a global scale than warming, and the increase in chemical elements in the environment."²

"It can't be that."

People often tell me that their cancer, ADD, or chronic fatigue couldn't possibly be EMF-related because . . . well, just because. But we've drenched the planet. Is it not logical to assume that if you live in a sea of electronics, you might have gotten wet?

The subject of EMFs tends to arouse the irritated bulldog in many people. A door of denial may be holding back a ton of unconscious fears, unexamined beliefs and historical skeletons in our collective closet.

Let's take a peek at why many resist opening that door.

Appliances have made chores easy and production efficient, and have brought us many pleasant experiences like movie-watching, flying, web surfing, communicating at a distance, and staying warm in winter. It can be hard to imagine non-tech pleasures and doing your own dishes.

The programming of millions of ads lurks in the shadows. Doesn't giving your child her own irradiator make you a progressive parent?

To realize you've bought into an irrational lie such as "it's safe to irradiate yourself" can be disillusioning, embarrassing to admit, and lonely when your friends and family are still in denial.

One in eight of us (according to a Stanford study) are addicted to the internet. Others are addicted to electricity per se. Withdrawal isn't pleasant. It can be extremely difficult to give up an addiction to something you need to do—like work on a computer.

Your job may require you to be immersed in these fields. What if you admit to yourself that your job is tearing down your health? Where do you find a low-EMF career? Or, conversely, what if you're found liable as an employer for the working conditions you provide?

Someone in your family may be addicted to tech, and they may be unwilling to make the lifestyle change you require for health. Do you leave them? What if your social life is primarily digitally based?

Some take it hard when they discover that their government is corrupt, and hasn't been protecting their well-being. (The telecommunications industry takes in the second largest revenues, behind the oil companies. They pay big taxes.)

Some have even internalized the prevalent brainwashing that their personal "weakness" at not being able to handle EMFs shouldn't hold back the prosperity of their community or their family. The "public good" is wealth, not health.

Then there's problem fatigue. The sheer number of serious challenges we face make us numb.

In the West, our science took a wrong turn in seeing the body as purely mechanical/chemical, not electrical. We've known better for decades, but many of our public policies are still based on outdated science.

Many people believe that new tech will save us from the problems with old tech, using the same paradigms that got us into this mess in the first place.

Seeing illness as a way the body is trying to communicate an imbalance is foreign to many people. They want to immediately mask the symptoms with drugs, etc. So the body has to shout even louder that it's under duress in these fields.

Guilt. A civil war in the Congo is largely being financed by the violent procurement of coltan, a highly prized mineral used in cell phones and wireless laptops. And anyone who has managed to communicate with an overseas serviceperson may be reminded that their computer was probably manufactured in a country with lax labor laws and low pay. There are finite resources out of which to make this stuff in the future.

For five hundred years during the Middle Ages, millions of people who listened closely to the Earth and other species were brutally killed in the Inquisition. Millions more "pagans" were exterminated in conquered lands. Deep in our collective psyche is the memory of what happens if you listen to your body or the Earth rather than to authority figures like technocrats. I think in many ways we're still in the Inquisition. The players have changed.

The power of the U.S. military—the world's worst polluter—is amazing. William Thomas has crunched the figures: the military spends $11,000 per second on weapons. Scientists exploring health-enhancing uses of electronics can find their work suddenly classified, with the choice given them to work for the military and develop kill-and-control applications, or stop their research altogether. You may wonder, "Do I dare, even in my mind, question the military and HAARP?"

We're at the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, with new paradigms for the next couple thousand years emphasizing the collective over the individual, an impersonal analytic bent that makes people into statistics, and a resonance with anything electrical. Many are still caught in the excitement of this new age of tech, not willing to look at its downside.

Holding Hands with Nature

The Earth has been morphing beneath our feet, quickly shifting higher dimensionally, evolving. Our electronics have kept us in a bubble of human domination to where we have not been keeping stride with the Earth's energetic changes. When you're rained on by transmissions from satellites, antennae, and the wires in your walls, whether or not you have a receiving device on, you are being penetrated by all the thoughtforms programmed into those transmissions—movies, porn, the internet, etc. It can be stressful for many people to step outside of their electronic virtual reality, both physically and psychologically. Some can no longer survive outside the human box because they haven't kept up with the real world. So people give away their power and their health to those who try to make the whole of the planet—including our very atmosphere—vibrate within the range where humans remain stunted in our growth. Can this incongruency between humanity and the rest of life go on indefinitely? Of course not.

Human consciousness and nature consciousness were created in tandem, a polarity. It is impossible to separate us. Humans have been exploring a novel idea in the past few millennia—what if we pretend to be separate, and take a vantage point from which to view the rest of the whole "objectively"? Nature has supported this experiment, which has been rich. We've taken it too far now, and like a rubber band that can't be stretched further without breaking, nature's longing for us is becoming a mighty force. (See Nature's Response.) Many of us seem to have become nearly incapable of deep intimacy with our partner. Our trying to make the planet into an electronic amphitheater for human drama is a sign that we've forgotten who we are.

My purpose in life is to help humans hold hands with nature through this shift. Our dance together can be incredibly beautiful in these times. Some of the biggest hindrances to embracing our birthright to dance this dance with joy are our deteriorating health and our electrosmog-jammed reception. Many people can still see the natural world, but not feel its healing, life-giving touch. Detoxing, and coming home again to the more-than-human world can feel as if going from a black-and-white existence to the colorful richness of belonging in the universe. People can have psychic/spiritual experiences from within the electromagnetic prison, but not the alive body, full aura ease and joyful embrace possible outside of it. In the box, our cells are continually under assault. You're holding back, wrapped in your EMF corset, staring at the world as if through a window. With a full range of natural frequencies, you can fall in love, multitudes of photons reverberating back and forth in a glorious exchange of light with all the manifest universe. This is how our ignorant, TV-deprived ancient ancestors lived. In ecstasy. Free, abundant ecstasy. Let's not make ecstasy extinct.

CALIFORNIA WARNS ABOUT CELLPHONE EXPOSURE & HEALTH RISK

FORBES MAGAZINE

Alice G Walton

DEC 16, 2017

The connection between cell phone radiation and health risks is far from settled—but it’s strong enough that the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued guidelines on how to minimize one’s exposure. Though phone manufacturers generally recommend certain behaviors around cell phones, like using the hands-free option or speakerphone, most people don’t look that far into the manual. Now, California issues official recommendations about how to reduce one’s risk, not of cell phone distraction, but of the radiofrequency energy they put out.

Michael Short/Bloomberg

The concern emerges from studies that have hinted at a slightly increased risk for brain cancer and tumors of the acoustic nerve and salivary gland. Others have suggested lower sperm count and sperm quality in men, and various effects on learning and memory, headaches, and sleep for both sexes. But, as the report says, more work needs to be done to tease it all apart, and not all experts believe there's reason for concern.

The public release of the guidelines came about in part because University of California researcher Joel Moskowitz had sued California for not making them public originally. Earlier this year, a judge ruled in his favor and the state was compelled to release a draft. This week, they released an updated and official version of the guidelines.

“The cellphone manufacturers want you to keep a minimum distance away from your body and you should find out what that distance is,” Moskowitz told local news station KCRA after the draft release earlier this year. “If you keep the device by your body you will exceed the safety limits provided by the FCC.”

Some of California’s recommendations are to:

Keep the phone away from the body whenever possible. Carry it in a purse or briefcase instead of a pocket or bra

Reduce cell phone use when the signal is weak (i.e., the phone shows only one or two bars), or if you’re in a fast-moving car or bus, since phones put off more radio frequency energy at those times

Reduce the use of cell phones to stream audio or video, or to download or upload large files

Keep the phone away from your bed at night, especially away from your head

Remove headsets when you're not on a call

Avoid products that claim to block radio frequency energy. These products may actually increase your exposure.

"Although the science is still evolving, there are concerns among some public health professionals and members of the public regarding long-term, high use exposure to the energy emitted by cell phones," said CDPH Director and State Public Health Officer Karen Smith in a statement. "We know that simple steps, such as not keeping your phone in your pocket and moving it away from your bed at night, can help reduce exposure for both children and adults."

Children and teens seem to be at a particular risk, she added, since their brains are still developing and more vulnerable to the radiation emitted by cell phones. "Children's brains develop through the teenage years and may be more affected by cell phone use," said Smith. "Parents should consider reducing the time their children use cell phones and encourage them to turn the devices off at night."

The new recommendations may not come as a total surprise. The World Health Organization has classified radiation from cell phones a “possible carcinogen” since 2011, acknowledging that more research needs to be done. And long-term studies are underway. Whether other states will follow California in making guidelines will be interesting to see. Given the potential physical health risks, and the well-illustrated psychological risks associated with smartphones, it may be time to cut back on them where we can.

COULD WIFI BE GIVING OUR CHILDREN CANCER

DailyMail.co.uk

PUBLISHED: 21 June 2018

UPDATED: June 2018

Plenty of children these days are so obsessed with having internet access that they will virtually refuse to go on holiday unless the hotel or villa has wifi.

They’re certainly used to being fully ‘connected’ at school, where millions of youngsters who were once taught with chalk on a blackboard now sit in circles on the floor surfing the web on their tablets or phones.

The trouble is that though smartphones are used as educational tools in some lessons, they can also be a dangerous distraction during the day for pupils. In fact, youngsters taking phones into schools has become such a contentious issue that now a minister has called for them to be banned.

Yet there is another issue which is perhaps even more important: one of the world’s top cancer experts has said the wifi beamed through Britain’s classrooms — radio waves that send signals between base units and devices such as iPads and mobile phones — could be as dangerous as ‘tobacco and asbestos’.

How much radiation does wifi give off on an iPad?

Some nations have begun banning or restricting wifi, as well as mobile phones.

Prof Miller of Toronto University says wifi could be as dangerous as tobacco and asbestos.

Prof Anthony Miller of Toronto University couldn’t be blunter, saying: ‘\[Wifi] should not be allowed in schools.’

Professor Miller – who was Director of Canada’s National Cancer Institute’s Epidemiology Unit, and has held top posts in the World Health Organisation and the German Cancer Research Centre – is not alone in his fears.

He is the latest in a long line of top scientists to warn that the invisible waves of electromagnetic radiation that now constantly wash over us all - dubbed ‘electrosmog’ even by some academics - may cause a future cancer epidemic, and that it’s children who are most at risk.

Some concerned nations have already begun banning or restricting wifi, as well as mobile phones – another source of electrosmog – in schools.

But not Britain. Eighteen years after a landmark official inquiry, headed by a former Government Chief Scientist, recommended a raft of measures to reduce this kind of radiation, virtually nothing has been done.

In the meantime, we have effectively been conducting a massive medical experiment on ourselves, and our children – who some campaigners are now referring to as ‘Generation Zapped’. For the fact is that human beings have never been exposed to anything like this before.

The ubiquitous electrosmog from mobile phones, wifi, baby monitors, smart energy meters and a host of other internet-connected products is a billion times stronger than the natural electromagnetic fields in which living cells developed over the past 3,800 million years.

The worrying thing is that we don’t know how this experiment will end. That is partly because it will take years to play out: massive exposure only began recently and cancers, for example, can take decades to develop. But partly it is because scandalously little research has been done into the possible effects of electrosmog.

Most of the little we are learning comes from studies on mobile phones, which deliver relatively intense doses of the radiation to the head.

Some studies have given them the all-clear, but these have generally only looked at short-term exposures - people who had not used mobiles for long enough (generally less than a decade) to develop cancer.

By contrast, important Swedish research found that people exposed to them for ten years or more were twice as likely to develop a malignant brain tumour on the side of the head where they usually held their handsets.

This finding was broadly confirmed by a massive study, covering thousands of people in 13 countries, by the world’s top authority on cancer-causing substances – the World Health Organisation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer.

These studies caused the Agency to conclude in 2011 that ‘electrosmog’ is a possible cause of the disease in humans.

And Professor Anthony Miller believes that new research – including a French study that suggested a fivefold increase in brain cancer risk from mobile phones – should cause the Agency to upgrade its assessment, and condemn the radiation as a clear carcinogen.

Studies have also linked mobiles with cancer of the salivary gland and acoustic neuromas - benign tumours on the auditory nerve which usually cause deafness and problems with balance.

What worries Prof Miller, and other top scientists who share his fears, is that increasing evidence that mobile phones can cause cancer may be revealing just the tip of the iceberg of a far wider danger from electrosmog.

Of course, a room full of wifi radiation delivers a much smaller dose than a mobile phone held to the side of the head. But people are exposed to it for much longer either in offices, schools or at home, especially if they leave it on overnight in the house, which almost everyone does.

And it’s not only cancer that is causing concern. Campaigners, and some senior academics, point to evidence that the thickening electrosmog may be linked with heart failure, male infertility, autism, severe cognitive impairment, damage to chromosomes and DNA, and many other conditions.

It is also increasingly accepted that about three in every hundred people are especially sensitive to the radiation, suffering symptoms like headaches, ringing ears, chest pains and sleeplessness.

It should be stressed that nothing is proven, and it’s important not to be alarmist, but, whatever the true danger may be, it is children who are certainly most at risk both from mobile phones and from electrosmog in general.

Their nervous systems are still developing, making them more vulnerable. Their skulls are thinner, so their brains get bigger doses. And quite simply, with many decades ahead of them, they will be exposed to more of the radiation in their lifetimes than adults today.

So the proliferation of wifi into so many of our schools is worrying. While using wifi, tablets, laptops and other devices emit radiation as well as receiving it, which also increases children’s exposure. More than a million tablets are now in use in Britain’s classrooms.

Campaigners urge schools to avoid danger and still get the benefits of such technology by hardwiring devices, through, for example, direct connections to desks, or points on walls and floors, or hanging from the ceiling.

More and more countries and cities are indeed going back to the future in this way. France has banned wifi from nursery schools (the younger the child, the greater the danger), and restricted its use in teaching children up to the age of 11.

It has also banned mobile phones from all schools, partly because they are socially disruptive. But the country’s official Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety has recommended that tablets and other wifi devices should be regulated as phones are.

Cyprus has also banned wifi from kindergartens, and only permits it in the staff offices of junior schools for administration purposes. Israel also prohibits it in pre-schools and kindergartens, and allows it only to be gradually introduced in class as children get older. The Israeli city of Haifa has hardwired its school system so children can used computers that don’t need wifi to connect to the internet.

Frankfurt, meanwhile, hardwired 80 per cent of all its schools more than a decade ago, while the school authorities in Salzburg, Austria, wrote to headteachers officially advising them not to use wifi as long ago as 2005.

Ghent in Belgium has banned wifi in pre-schools and daycare centres, while individual local authorities in Spain and Italy have removed it from all their schools. Even faraway French Polynesia has prohibited it in nursery schools and limits it in primary ones. And so the list goes on.

Here in Britain, by contrast, there is only complacency and inaction - despite authoritative early warnings of trouble ahead.

Way back in 2000, a official inquiry headed by Sir William Stewart, a former Government Chief Scientist, produced a landmark report recommending ways of reducing exposure to electrosmog, especially for children. Tony Blair’s government publicly accepted most of its recommendations – then failed to implement them.

Five years later, Sir William - as chairman of the official National Radiological Protection Board - issued another report urging similar action, with the same lack of results. Then, in 2007 - he was by then Chairman of the Health Protection Agency (HPA) – he voiced concern about wifi in schools. But its use has only spread rapidly since then.

Public Health England, which succeeded the HPA, now says it ‘sees no reason why wifi should not continue to be used in schools’.

Official action on electrosmog in Britain is limited to advising that ‘excessive use’ of mobiles by children should be ‘discouraged’. Even this has been watered down from a decade ago, when youngsters were urged to avoid the phones for ‘non-essential calls’.

As Professor Miller recently told a conference organised by the Environmental Health Trust, it is high time to start taking sensible precautionary measures to protect our children. The alternative is to do nothing and hope for the best. That’s what we did with tobacco and asbestos, and we know how that turned out. In the Professor’s words: ‘We ignore this at our future peril.’

DIRTY ELECTRICITY BLOG POST - TOXIC EXPOSURE

Do you have dirty electricity in your environment? Many people have become sensitive to electromagnetic frequencies including WiFi, Bluetooth, Cell Phones, Cell Towers, Smart Meters, and ... Basic Electricity.

Many times, people are misdiagnosed with a variety of diseases when it may actually be an environmental issue. Not just from a chemical environment, but an electromagnetic energy environment.

Here is a list of some of the symptoms that you can have if you have Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS):

Neurological: headaches, dizziness, nausea, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, irritability, depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, weakness, tremors, muscle spasms, numbness, tingling, altered reflexes, muscle and joint pain, leg/foot pain, “Flu-like” symptoms, fever. More severe reactions can include seizures, paralysis, psychosis and stroke.

Cardiac: palpitations, arrhythmias, pain or pressure in the chest, low or high blood pressure, slow or fast heart rate, shortness of breath. Respiratory: sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma.

Dermatological: skin rash, itching, burning, facial flushing.

Ophthalmologic: pain or burning in the eyes, pressure in/behind the eyes, deteriorating vision, floaters, cataracts.

How does this happen? The body is an electrical being. Every cell, tissue, and organ transmits information through tiny electrical currents which are disturbed by these high frequency fields, setting the body up for disease.

IS ELECTRO-POLLUTION MAKING YOU SICK

Science Lesson: Your body is an amazing electrically-powered organic machine and your cells communicate with each other through electrical impulses. Your brain tells your heart to beat. Your stomach tells your brain you are hungry. Your skin sends information about the texture, temperature, and weight of objects you touch, etc. In fact your central nervous system is kind of like the Internet, it is the conduit for millions of messages to be sent back and forth between cells and organs to keep your body functioning properly. When you cut yourself, distress signals are sent out by the damaged tissue and your body responds with various reinforcements to clot the blood, fight infection, and seal off the area. That’s just one example of millions of chemical processes in the human body that are all controlled by electrical impulses.

Anytime electrical current flows through something, like a wire for example, it creates an Electromagnetic Field (EMF). And just like electronic equipment, our electric bodies have an Electromagnetic Field surrounding them. We conduct electricity and radio frequencies, which is why getting close to or touching the TV antenna helps get a better picture. This also why sticking a fork in an outlet will shock the spit out of you.

“Electropollution” is a term that describes our increasing exposure to harmful invisible electronic frequencies harnessed by man in our modern world. Electronic frequency can be divided into these basic groups:

-Extremely Low Frequency (ELF): Power lines

-Radio Frequency (RF): radio and tv signals, microwaves, and wireless devices

-Intermediate frequencies: dirty electricity emitted by appliances, electric circuits, etc.

-High Frequency: ionizing radiation, X-rays, CT Scans, and PET Scans which have been proven to cause cancer.

-“Dirty Electricity” is a term used to describe the harmful combination of distorted frequencies from various electronic sources in our homes, offices, schools, etc.

So what’s the problem exactly?

As I said before our cells are constantly sending and receiving messages via electrochemical pathways our our nervous system. External Electromagnetic Frequencies can disrupt normal communication between cells. They essentially overload and confuse cells with false messages or messages they don’t understand, like too many people trying to talk at the same time. This interference can disrupt cellular function in every part of your body.

When we are exposed to external EMFs they can disturb our nervous systems and raise cortisol, our stress hormone, which can lead to all kinds of physical problems like: sleep disorders, depressed immunity, cardiovascular disease, premature aging, autoimmune disorders, and even neurological problems like depression.

EMFs can rupture cell membranes and create free radicals resulting in dna damage. They can disrupt normal cell division; handicap your immune system; and also create precancerous cells.

If you have health problems, electropollution is not something your doctor is going to look into, but it could be causing or aggravating your condition. Don’t rule it out.

Your home may literally be making you sick, aka Sick Building Syndrome.

Unless you live in a cave or a tee-pee, there is electrical current flowing inside the walls and ceilings of every room in your home; all producing EMFs. Every electrical device in your house is amplifying these electromagnetic fields: your TV, stereo, refrigerator, dishwasher, alarm clock, hair dryer, electric razor, computers, wi-fi, baby monitors, lamps, fans, etc.

We are living and working in electrified boxes; pulsating and radiating EMFs into our bodies nearly 24 hours a day.

According to the research of Samuel Milham M.D., M.P.H., the spread of electricity, which was completed in 1959, is directly linked to a rise in degenerative disease, cardiovascular disease, and suicide in the United States. The incidence of these diseases was much lower in rural areas before they were electrified.

There have been over 30 studies, since the ground-breaking 1979 Leeper-Werthheimer Study, directly linking children with leukemia to their proximity to power lines, step down transformers, and exposure to EMFs emitted by household appliances.

And there have been hundreds of studies linking EMFs to Alzheimer’s, heart disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease, miscarriage, birth defects, infertility and more.

Cell Phone Radiation

In 2006 a study of cell phone habits of 900 people with brain tumors, conducted by the Swedish National Institute for Working Life, they found that people who used cell phones for a total of 2000 hours had a 240% increased risk for a malignant tumor on the side of the head that they usually held the phone. This is because cell phone radiation penetrates two inches into an adult skull. Cell phone radiation penetrates even further into a child’s skull. This is why children should not use cell phones. FYI: 2000 cell phone hours breaks down to 2000 minutes per month for 5 years.

Here’s what I do to minimize my exposure to cell phone radiation:

I rarely ever put my phone up to my head when I’m using it. I try to always the speaker phone, or my RF3 ENVi Earbuds.

I also try to keep the phone away from my body whenever possible. I put in on my desk, on the table at restaurants, or on the car seat next to me when I’m driving.

I prefer to text message rather than talk on the phone and turn my phone off for hours at a time during the day. This kills the radiation completely and allows me to focus on what I’m working on without interruptions.

So for those folks who like to give me a hard time because I never answer the phone. Now you know why.

Also the weaker your phone signal, the more radiation it produces. If you don’t have full signal, don’t answer.

Finally, don’t charge your cell phone in your bedroom at night. Speaking of the bedroom…

EMFs and any light in your bedroom at night can interfere with your body’s production of melatonin, which is a major player in your immune system and is only produced at night when you sleep.

What Melatonin Does:

It is an antioxidant 5 times more powerful than Vitamin C.

It Increases the effectiveness of your lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are killer cells that fight off foreign invaders and mutated cells.

It increases the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione. These chemicals are antioxidants, detoxifiers, and help repair damaged cells.

Melatonin is one of the most powerful health promoting hormones in your body. Make sure there isn’t anything interfering with your body’s production of it.

What you can do to reduce EMF exposure at home:

Unplug electrical devices in your bedroom, especially those near your body. As much as you might like to hit the snooze button in the morning, you’re better off putting the alarm clock on the other side of the room.

Unplug as many electrical devices as you can in your house. This reduces EMF exposure and saves you money. Turn your computers off, then turn off the power strip. Unplug the blender, mixer, toaster oven, etc.

Turn off your wi-fi when you aren’t using it.

Install a kill-switch outlet in each circuit.

Kill Switch Outlet

This requires a bit of explanation.

Your outlets and lights are wired in separate circuits throughout your house. Depending on how your house is wired, all the outlets in one room should be on one circuit, but sometimes they share circuits with other rooms. If you disconnect the first outlet in the circuit, it will disable the power to the rest of the outlets in that circuit. If you disconnect the second outlet, the first will still work, but all the rest will be disabled. Make sense?

A kill-switch outlet will kill power to the rest of the outlets that follow it in the circuit, thereby allowing you to easily turn off whole circuits at a time without messing around in the breaker panel.

For example, a properly placed kill-switch outlet will kill the power to every outlet in your bedroom, or just the three walls around your bed. It may also kill the power to other outlets in other rooms if they share the same circuit. The switch outlets we use have a small red indicator light on them. If the indicator light is on, that means there is power to the circuit. Also the receptacle in this outlet works even if the switch is killing the power to the rest of the room. This is what we have in all three bedrooms at our house.

Tracing down the different circuits and deciding where to install each kill-switch is something you can figure out yourself, if you have basic electrical experience (Please don’t burn your house down). If you want to hire an electrician, it should not cost you more than a couple hundred bucks.

Kill-switch outlets themselves are only about $9 each.

Other tips:

Move couches away from the wall where your electric wiring is located. Never place a sofa on a wall if your fridge is on the other side.

Fluorescent bulbs generate more EMFs than than standard bulbs and are filled with toxic mercury vapor. Because of this there is no good way to get rid of them. Oops. Two more things the “green movement” somehow missed. LED lighting generates the least amount of EMFs.

Ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and refrigerators all generate high magnetic fields in the rooms above them. You don’t want these below your bedroom.

If you would like to measure the EMF fields in your home or at work, you’ll need a Gauss Meter.

The TriField 100 XE is the only Gauss meter with magnetic, electric, and radio/microwave detection in one unit. With it you can accurately measure EMF pollution “hot spots” in your home, or work environment so you can take steps to reduce your exposure.

FYI: This is also what ghost hunters use to look for paranormal activity.

This post would have been impossible without the research and information presented in the book ZAPPED: Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn’t Be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution by New York Times bestselling author Ann Louise Gittleman.

It’s a fascinating read and is chock full of invaluable information, only of fraction of which I touch on in this post. She’s done a ton of research and put it all together in an easy to read format with practical steps throughout. I highly recommend this book (Zapped).

HEART PROBLEMS AND RF RADIATION

Research shows the connection between heart problems and EMF exposure:

\- Already in 1970's it was recommended in the USA and in former Soviet Union that “cardiovascular abnormalities should be used as a screening criteria to exclude people from occupations involving radio-frequency exposures”.

\- When testing an antenna system in Wisconsin, USA, there were effects upon human volunteers of exposure to very low strength (1 gauss) 45 hz magnetic fields. The primary findings were an increase in serum triglycerides observed in two experimental runs. The significance of the elevated triglycerides is in the fact that this material is one of the steps involved in fat metabolism and such elevations beyond the normal range are generally believed to indicate an increased risk of arteriosclerotic disease. The Project Sanguine ( a military project) was immediately terminated when these findings were published.

\- Exposure of pregnant women to mobile phoneS significantly increase fetal and neonatal HR (heart rate), and significantly decreased COP (cardiac output). So, when a mother uses a mobile phone, it may have a harmful and damaging effect on the heart of fetus / child.

\- Heart problems come up in epidemiological studies of mobile phone cell towers.

\- The renowned US cardiologist, MD Stephen Sinatra has noticed tachycardia & pulsed radiofrequency connection in younger and younger children. Also in connection to the Wi-Fi technology, Wi-Fi and heart related findings also come up also in animal studies.

\- Several occupational studies report heart problems and the pulsed RF connection. Combined effects with microwaves and high (workplace) temperature etc. has been also reported.

\- In a study of 60 men exposed to 30-GHz EMFs during their working day six or seven times per month, bradycardia and a decrease in the pumping efficiency of the heart were found. Similar results were reported in 34 persons, aged 30-49 who had been exposed for 5-15 years near broadcast transmission sources. Various cardiovascular disorders were also seen in a study of 73 men and 27 women that had been occupationally exposed to microwave EMFs.

\- Both ELF and RF cause malfunction to pace-makers; an indicator/risk factor to a real heart as well.

\- Also Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) problems caused by Wi-Fi to electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring system has been reported.

\- Researcher Mikko Ahonen (myself) and my colleagues in 2012 testified in a case where a mobile phone base station broke down several times a pace-maker of an elderly woman. Based on this testimony, the mobile phone base station was removed from her roof.

\- Professor in physiology, Osmo Hänninen has investigated several cases where a pace-maker has been installed to people who were suffering from RF exposure with heart problems. This pace-maker does not seem to help in these cases, since after the pace-maker installation RF exposure causes blood-pressure to get extremely high. Simply put: when the human being cannot any more regulate environmental RF-stress with heart, this regulation activity is shifted to blood-pressure changes.

RF ENVIRONMENT

Environmental Health Center, Dallas, TX.

EMF (electromagnetic field) is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. It affects the behavior of an object present in the field. The field extends outward in space to a distance related to the magnitude of the current flowing through the objects. There exists both an electric field and a magnetic field. The electric field is produced by the stationary charges, and the magnetic field is produced by current in motion.

The earth has a magnetic field. Power lines have magnetic fields. Any appliance which uses a motor and electricity can have both an electric and magnetic field. The distance these fields extend from the source depends on the magnitude of the current and voltage. Thus several high voltage power lines with electricity totaling 765,000 volts can have a magnetic field extending 2500 feet from the lines.

We all enjoy the benefits of electricity. It enables us to cook, to light our path, and use many appliances which make life easier and more enjoyable. It is used in medicine to diagnose and treat injuries and other medical conditions. However, we are electric beings with cellular functions which depend on the flow of charged particles. Cells constantly transmit and receive energy while engaging in their biochemical processes necessary to sustain life. Each type of cell has a frequency range in which it operates. The heart rhythm depends upon electrical stimulus.

The extent to which EMF affects human health varies depending on the physiological history and genetic predisposition of the person. But exposure to changes in the larger fields of the sun, moon and our planet can affect almost every part of our being from head to heart and from head to toe.

Man made electrical fields likewise affect our body. Their effect depends on the strength of the fields, the distance from the source, and the length of the exposure time. Electrical current passing through the body can injure tissue and damage nerve transmission. High power extremely low frequency EM Fields can induce perceivable currents within the body. This exposure can produce tingling and similar unwanted nervous system reactions in the body.

Microwave exposure at low power levels and high frequency are considered harmless to the body. However, there is some debate regarding safe levels. Different standards exist in the United States, Russia and Europe. RF (Radio Frequency) and microwave radiation can create hazardous biological effects due to energy absorption by the body. The eyes and the testis are particularly susceptible to heating by RF energy because of the relative lack of blood flow to dissipate the excessive heat load.

Cell phones produce Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) in the ultra high frequency range or Radio Frequency (RF) range. The radiation emanating from these RF fields can be linked with increased risk of glioma and acoustic neuroma. Until more research is performed in this area the danger and effect of their usage on the body is not completely known. Until thorough, impartial investigation is conducted and conclusive results reached, prudent choices must be made regarding the use of cell phones. Extended use of cell phones held against the ear is not recommended. The use of the speaker for those who regularly use cell phones is certainly recommended. When in use the phone should be placed on a table or surface away from the body. When carried on the body it should never be carried in the chest area or near the groin.

Optimally it should be carried in a special protective case on the belt or in the purse. Children with susceptible nervous systems and brains should be instructed and restricted in their use of the phones. The power of electromagnetic energy, whether high or low frequency, must be recognized and respected. Its effect on human life and the functioning of the entire body must be understood. We must take advantage of the positive uses it affords us and recognize the problems it can pose for us, especially those with chemical and heavy metal toxicity, suppressed immune systems, variations in heart rhythm, the young, the old, and the allergic.

Rea et. al. in a double blind study showed that certain individuals can be extremely sensitive to EMF. The participants in the study experienced symptoms involving the nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and gastrointestinal system. Some participants reported ocular and dermal symptoms, but the most prevalent symptoms reported were neurological. Sensitivity of these individuals can be correlated with excessive or prolonged exposure to EMF or RF fields. Lab analyses frequently showed these individuals to have a toxic body burden of chemicals or heavy metals. EMF sensitivity is a real disease.

Our society is becoming increasingly dependent upon electronics. We are covering the earth with power sources, power transmission lines, and cell phone transmission towers. Knowledge and understanding of EMF is becoming increasingly necessary for maintaining health.

You can be aware of excessive exposure to EMF by being knowledgeable regarding the nearness of high voltage power lines, substations, and cell phone towers. Correct choice of wiring composition and placement of wiring in the home is important. It is beneficial to the health of a home and its inhabitants to understand the impact of improper placement and grounding of electric wiring.

If electric wiring touches or follows metal water pipes, stray electricity can develop. Stray electricity is an electric current which has strayed from its intended path into undesirable areas sometimes creating elevated levels of EMF. Buried underground cables can become old, and insulation can erode away. This can allow voltage to escape or leave the wires and its intended path, and search, find, and injure those who come in contact with it. Objects can also penetrate underground cables allowing electricity to find metal objects, sidewalks, you, your pets and children. Stray electricity can be a problem for homeowners and neighborhoods. If problems are suspected, immediate measures should be taken to prevent injury.

Voltage requirements of electric appliances should be monitored in order to make healthy, economical choices when purchasing this equipment. Be aware of the possible damage to health of susceptible individuals from the use of RF devices such as cell phones and Wi-Fi.
