The age-old adage First Do No Harm should be the tempering goal of not only medicine, but government and industry, especially when they team up to deploy new technologies, set policies and serve the people.

This blog exists to reveal and analyze areas in which these powerful groups are failing to "first do no harm."

VIDEO: Countywide Wireless Broadband radiation emits from Home Wiring


 Wireless BROADBAND Radiation level measured inside home:
before and after countywide expansion (no wireless used in house and power is off):

 


 

Wireless Broadband emits from Home Wiring.
HFE35C analyzer gives AUDIO broadband pulse on home outlets/plugs following countywide expansion. (Signal was only a couple places in home before expansion. No wireless devices used in house, and power is OFF).
 


No one asked permission of families to irradiate their homes, apartments, streets, parks countywide.

It adds yet another level of 100% involuntary exposure to pulsed radiofrequency energy.

American Academy of Pediatrics supports H.R. 6358 to establish safety standards

In July of this year the respected American Academy of Pediatrics wrote the FCC Chairman Genechowski asking for them to update exposure standards for cell phone radiation, which has not be done since 1996 despite power increases and usage explosion.

The AAP followed up with a letter of support for the (lame duck) legislation - H.R. 6358, the Cell Phone Right to Know Act - again, in the interest of protecting public health, especially children of all ages and pregnant women. Though this bill is unlikely to go forward it is a step in the right direction towards awareness of what needs to be done to protect future (and current) generations. An honest, thorough analysis of biological independent science is needed.

With the recent special report showing that even carrying a cell phone on the body may cause breast cancer, added to the citations the AAP lists, there is no excuse for our leaders to ignore what should be done. Besides, India's cellular radiation standards were already below America's and yet they decided to lower them even further recently to protect the public. It is time the U.S. addressed this looming crisis for our young and vulnerable populations.

The AAP cannot protect our children without your help. Please contact your federal lawmakers now to support H.R. 6358 and future bills addressing wireless radiation safety.

Flaws in FCC Safety Policy detailed by Janet Newton

Janet Newton of the EMR Policy Institute (EMRPoicy.org) analyses the shortcomings of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 'safety guidelines' for electro-magnetic radiation exposure in her presentation at the Wireless Safety Summit, Oct. 5, 2011, in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the Center for Safer Wireless.

Finnish Awareness of Electro-sensitivity shown in blog

I ran into this wonderful Finnish blog called Breakfast on the Grass. Nutrition expert Juhana Harju writes this blog on the diet, dietary supplements and health.
- For those who want to take better care of your health-

See this article there about electro-sensitivity to see the awareness there.

Here is an excerpt:

Occupational Health CEO Harri Vainio where environmental sensitivies is concerned, such as the sensitivity of the electrical and chemical sensitivity, growth in recent years. He also considered the Finnish Medical Journal article entitled "Electricity in the air - and in the brain," we responded too naively EMF effects. I think we are, and Chief Executive Officer Vainion the floor is all the more important that the environmental sensitivities supersede the labor market every year perhaps hundreds of highly educated people. It is interesting that among them there is also a lot of IT professionals.

Sensitive electrical challenges presented by the environment increasing, wireless data networks. In many workplaces and homes rejected corded telephones and switching to mobile phones. Exposure to electromagnetic fields is growing - many fancy cell phone to your ear.

Ongoing COSMOS trial of 10 000 respondents 50% considered themselves indicate a feeling of warmth to the ear, headache 10%, 8%, dizziness, numbness in the hands, 31%, 26% feeling of warmth on the face and 16% of tinnitus with the use of a mobile phone. Mobile phone technology, mobile phones and base stations, in addition to the wireless home phone, a lot of home electrical appliances, TV, computer, fluorescent and energy saving lamps, power lines or substations trigger symptoms. Lamps used in dimmer switches, converters and energy-saving bulbs produce the power grid noise spikes or transients that are sensitive to electric feel particularly problematic.


With varying degrees of sensitivity. Some of the symptoms are under control and the ability to work is maintained. In others the situation varies - the exposure time increases the sensitivity, but will level off when the electromagnetic fields generating sources are avoided. So far, for unknown reasons, some sensitive to a more permanent, marginalized and lose their ability to work.

With a wide range of symptoms and reactions are unique:


Skin burning and stinging
tinnitus
Cardiac arrhythmias
Shortness of breath
Muscle and joint pain
depression
Neurological symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, coordination problems, insomnia, short-term memory and cognitive disorders

I do not have a malt without wondering how many of the labor market of excluded a diagnosis of depression, in fact, a young power is sensitive? Do not just young people not major consumers of new technology? Children and young adults are in many respects more sensitive.

Human beings are electromagnetic beings and many of the body's functions are electro-magnetically controlled. Weak electrical impulses in our bodies and criss-driven functions of the body. Cells are vital to the cell membrane potential difference between the electronic maintained. The heart and the brain functions as a low-frequency transmitters. Their activities may result in the entire area of the body and at a distance. Heart, brain and muscle electrical activity can be registered (ECG, EEG, EMG). Unestakin it is known that the depth of the various stages of the brain electromagnetic pulses vary.

Nature's Victims of Manmade Electromagnetic Radiation? Great Chestnut Trees of Europe

By the time the scientists add 1+1 and do their homework on manmade EMR impacts on delicate, molecular functions and processes in nature it may be too late.

Take the dying of the great chestnut trees of Europe, for example. Scientists are scratching their heads as to why the leaf miner moths are proliferating. These moths are robbing aged trees of sunlight and opening them to infections.

The article states, "Without any clear reason, the moth became rampant and spread through much of Europe about a decade ago."

Helloooo. Wireless emissions had taken hold and continued to grow around that time. A little research online shows that MOTHS (and other insects/creatures) can sense and use electromagnetic energy especially for mating purposes. This all happens at a molecular level.

Here are just a few quotes showing how these small lifeforms may be cued into electromagentic energy in ways humans do not yet understand.

"Entomologists and naturalists dating back to the early 18th Century had suggested the possibility that insects communicate by radiations emitted from oscillating molecules. Riley referred to certain subtle vibrations that could be detected by a sense organ that does not respond to light of the same frequencies that our eyes can see, but that responds to other frequencies to which we are blind."

"The moth antenna has a remarkable resemblance to a radar antenna."
"Phillip Callahan found a variety of correspondences between the structures of various insect antennas and radio and microwave antennas."


Would the scientists that have no clue why leaf miner moths are madly reproducing please look into the potential EMR impact ASAP?

Heritage Foundation and Google want U.S. to blanket Cubans with Super Wi-Fi

In the name of promoting free thought and Internet use the U.S. Heritage Foundation, along with Google, want us to cover Cuban cities with remote wireless Internet signals. This conservative thinktank is even asking Obama to get on this. But is anyone going to ask the Cuban people FIRST if they consent to being irradiated with super WiFi from the U.S.? Wireless broadband delivery makes some people immediately ill, and wears away the cellular functions of everyone. There is no place to hide. Irradiating our own people who do not want wireless broadband is bad enough. Irradiating other nations ought to be a crime. What good is freedom if it comes in a poisoned package and ruins the health and lives of the people it is supposed to benefit?

Here is one online English translation of the Spanish article:


The Heritage Foundation, Washington-based conservative organization urged the government to create a wireless network to provide remote Internet to Cuba.
 
The idea comes after The Heritage Foundation and Google Ideas come together to discuss the impact of technology and Internet development on the island. The event was invited Cuban Senator Marco Rubio who said that the Cuban government would not last long in Cuba with unlimited internet access. Among the recommendations made by The Heritage Foundation U.S. government are:


Increasing support to the opposition movement in Cuba, which seeks to break the Cuban government's monopoly on information through the use of technology, including smart phones and USB devices, text messaging, and explore the creation of a defense fund "Activist" to provide financial support to activists in Cuba.


Partnering with technology companies and NGOs with experience operating in Cuba to explore new ways to leverage technology to support journalists using lessons learned from the last of the "Arab Spring" in the Middle East.


Browse new "super Wi-Fi" to transmit remotely free wireless Internet access in more densely populated areas of Cuba. New technological advances allow this type of technology.
Expanding Internet access provided by the U.S. Interests Section in Havana to a greater number of users of Cuba and encourage U.S. allies to do the same.


Promote support programs that generate greater international awareness of Internet censorship in Cuba as a means to generate additional support from citizens and governments around the world.

The report "The Heritage Foundation" calls on Obama to make a greater effort to secure the release of information to the Cuban people. All ideas of this organization are great, if the government of Cuba does not want his people because the internet has obtained from another side. With advances in technology issues the government of Cuba will begin to see in a serious predicament.

Ten years after Freiburg Appeal where 1000 international physicians warned about wireless, physicians warn again

Stop Smart Meters Australia caught this article which TEN YEARS after the Freiburg Appeal by 1000 international physicians warned about wireless harm is being evoked by physicians to try to save the health of the planet's people and life.

An excerpt from the article:

International Doctor’s Appeal 2012 - 10 Years after Freiburg Appeal: Wireless radiation poses a health risk. Physicians demand precaution now. More than 1000 physicians signed the “Freiburg Appeal” in 2002. It was translated into many languages. As many as 36,000 people from all over the world support its warning about the dangers of wireless radiation.


Today-ten years later-we as physicians call again on the international community. We are deeply concerned. Despite all warnings, more and more new wireless technologies are introduced into our lives: cell phone networks, TETRA, LTE, cordless phones, Wi-Fi, baby monitors, wireless meters, digital radio and TV, and many others. All of these wireless technologies overload the biophysical pathways of cell communication in living systems with increasing layers and densities of electromagnetic fields.


Human, animal, and plant life is controlled by naturally occurring electromagnetic fields (EMF) and signals. Technical fields and frequencies can interfere profoundly with the biological processes of cell communication and cell metabolism. Initially, the self-healing power of living beings will compensate for imbalances through finely tuned control mechanisms. Prolonged electromagnetic stress, however, may lead to a chronic lack of energy and resulting diseases. The consequences of this fundamental impairment of self-regulation have repeatedly been demonstrated in scientific studies:


Clumping of red blood cells, increased permeability of the protective blood-brain barrier, changes in brain wave activity and heart rhythm, unbalanced release of neurotransmitters and hormones (especially the increase in stress hormones), immune system impairment, damage to the genetic material, lowered fertility, to name only a few of the best known examples.


Oxidative cell stress-a major cause of many diseases-has been shown to be the main effect mechanism of radiation exposure.


As physicians, we currently observe a worrisome rise in mental health problems such as depression, burnout syndrome as well as sleep, anxiety, and panic disorders. This also applies to a multitude of other diseases: stroke (also in children and even in fetuses in the womb), degenerative neurological disorders (e.g. dementia, epilepsy, brain tumors), headaches, autism, learning disorders, concentration problems, behavioral disorders, allergies, skin problems, pain syndromes, susceptibility to infections, high blood pressure, metabolic disorders, multi-system disorders, and cancer, to name only the most prominent and most frequent symptoms and disorders. More and more frequently, we also observe a clear pattern of temporal and spatial relationships between the onset of these symptoms and disorders and the start of a radiation exposure, e.g. in the vicinity of a newly installed cell tower, heavy cell phone use, or the use of a DECT cordless phone, wireless Internet router, or other wireless technology in the home, in a neighbor’s home, or at work.


Children and adolescents especially and increasingly display addictive behavior in the use of their cell phones and other online devices. According to the latest scientific evidence, they are also the most vulnerable. The number of those who suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity is steadily growing. Electrosensitive individuals can develop severe symptoms immediately or even several hours after the exposure to technical electromagnetic fields and frequencies. As physicians we welcome that Sweden has recognized electromagnetic hypersensitivity as a functional impairment and has provided protected zones for affected people. We would also like to point out and emphasize that the European Parliament has called on its member states “to follow the example of Sweden” and that U.S. State Governors have raised public awareness about the consequences of electromagnetic hypersensitivity.
 
 
The initiative of the Austrian Medical Association, which has released a guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of electrosensitive individuals, hopefully will also catch on in other countries. Our medical observations have been confirmed by scientific findings. Adverse effects of electromagnetic fields and the fundamental impairment of biological control mechanisms well below current exposure limits have been demonstrated, and in some instances, for decades...
 
 
See the article for more, including physicians' suggestions on now to avert further damage to public health.

EMF science controversy put in perspective: Magda Havas

American Medical Association should adopt Austrian Medical Association guidelines regarding EMF-related Illnesses

Take note, American Medical Association:


Guideline
of the Austrian Medical Association
for the diagnosis and treatment
of EMF related health problems and illnesses (EMF syndrome)

Consensus paper of the Austrian Medical Association’s EMF Working Group ( AG-EMF)



Adopted at the meeting of environmental medicine officers of the Regional Medical Association´s and the Austrian Medical Association on March 3, 2012 in Vienna.


ESPECIALLY NOTE #6:


6. Treatment

The primary method of treatment should consist in the prevention or reduction of EMF exposure, taking care to reduce or eliminate all sources of EMF if possible. Many examples have shown that such measures can prove effective.


Since sufficient EMF reduction is not possible in all cases, other measures can and must be considered. These include not only keeping additional exposure to a minimum, but also enhancing and increasing resistance to EMF. In some cases, positive effects of holistic medicine treatments have been reported.


We take it as given that appropriate treatment will be initiated after diagnosis if the patient presents manifest illness. Regardless of such treatment, the above-mentioned measures to reduce exposure should also be taken.

Magnetic sensors may (partly) explain microwave sickness or sensitivity

Birds can do it.
Fish can do it.
Rats can do it.
Why can't we?

Well, who says we can't feel magnetic changes in our environment like the animals do?
This article may shed some light on why some people report sensations from changes in environmental fields, including growing electro-pollution. A fascinating read, just the kind of evidence needed to debunk naysayers' assumptions!

Of course, other biological impacts and factors may be contributing to physical experience of the fields, including the actual damage in process to cellular and system function. A person's metal burden (stored heavy metals and chemicals) could also be factors. Metals especially would interact with electromagnetic waves. But this finding is important and the next step is to look for magnetic sensor in human cells.

Discovery of magnetic sensors in fish and rats may explain why some people can 'feel' wi-fi, smart meters, power lines and electropollution

Oakland County MI man charged felony, fined $25,000 for protecting wife from new smart meter

The GOOD news is a resolution passed in Oakland County MI to tell legislators to allow people to avoid having smart meters.

The BAD news is a local man, who knew nothing about smart meters until they figured out that was what was making his wife ill in the house, is being fined $25,000 plus a felony charge for "tampering with the meter." He gave notice and replaced the meter, and says he would do it again to protect his family.

Using the "tampering with the meter" utility law against citizens whose health is impacted by transmitting meters is an outrage. The tampering codes and laws were meant to keep people from stealing power. These people are law abiding citizens, who just want to control their home environments, no, who need to do so or be ill. The utilities and public service commissions slapping this clause on people whose health depends upon NOT having transmitting equipment on their homes are ABUSING their power as monopolies.

Folks, want to know what living in a communist society would be like? Look no further than this smart meter situation in the U.S.

Compendium of Radiofrequency Harmful Effects: Blood-Brain Barrier damaged, lets toxins in (Dr. Leif Salford)

In his quest to cure glioblastoma multiforme - a cancer like an octopus in the brain - neurosurgeon (since 1967) and researcher Dr. Leif Salford discovers the impact of extremely low levels of microwave radiation on rat brains.

The blood-brain barrier normally protects our brains from toxins and other substances in the blood from migrating into the brain and causing damage. To open that natural protective barrier is extremely dangerous.

Radiofrequency radiation opens this barrier at levels much lower than a cell phone.
Repeat: Radiofrequency radiation opens this barrier at levels much lower than a cell phone.

Compendium of Radiofrequency Harmful Effects: accelerates tumors, increases malignancies (said FDA memo)

Microwave News Undercovers 1993 FDA Biologists Conclusion about Microwave Radiation

Thanks to a Microwave News request under the Freedom of Information Act, Microwave News unearthed an internal agency memo from the Food and Drug Administration in 1993. In the memo, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) biologists stated that the available data "strongly suggest" that microwave radiation can "accelerate the development of malignant tumors." "Of approximately eight chronic animal experiments known to us, five resulted in increased numbers of malignancies, accelerated progression of tumors, or both," wrote Drs. Mays Swicord and Larry Cress of FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) in Rockville, MD.

--- from Center for Safer Wireless newsletter

AND YET, this post at AEGIS (a shielding products site) shows how the FDA hid this finding in 1997 and 2000 public statements about "inconclusive scientific basis" regarding radiofrequency exposures and health risks.

Compendium of Radiofrequency Harmful Effects: oxidative stress

900 MHz pulse-modulated radiofrequency radiation induces oxidative stress on heart, lung, testis and liver tissues. (2011)


What is oxidative stress and why is it bad?

Oxidative stress represents an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage. Disturbances in the normal redox state of cells can cause toxic effects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components of the cell, including proteins, lipids, and DNA. Further, some reactive oxidative species act as cellular messengers in redox signaling. Thus, oxidative stress can cause disruptions in normal mechanisms of cellular signaling.
In humans, oxidative stress is thought to be involved in the development of many diseases or may exacerbate their symptoms. These include cancer,[1] Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease,[2] atherosclerosis, heart failure,[3] myocardial infarction,[4] Schizophrenia;[5] Bipolar disorder,[6] fragile X Syndrome,[7] Sickle Cell Disease,[8] and chronic fatigue syndrome.[9]
In fact, oxidative stress (OS) is an important etiologic factor of the pathologic process of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and cancer (e.g., leukemia), the devastating disorders affecting millions of people worldwide.

Cover-up of Milton Zaret's early evidence of microwave harm

Microwave News remembers Milton Zaret, an “Early Prophet” of Microwave Hazards, who has died at 91. Military and industry cover-ups and attempts to discredit him abounded.

The article shows that corruption in science is nothing new; and those with power have been willing to sacrifice caution and public health for the gain of their institutions and industries, historically to the present.

Arizona smart meter news story: "Smart meters causing mysterious ailments"

This FoxNews (Phoenix) smart meter story (print and video) came out May 10 at 10:10 p.m. It is titled, Smart meters causing mysterious ailments. Several electromagnetically sensitive people are interviewed (amazingly).



At least it sounds like customers will be able to opt out: "Our job is to respond to our customers needs and if they express a desire for whatever reason they don't want this on their home then it's our job to see if we can find a plan that accommodates that," says Gross." (utility representative)

The Arizona fight is also touching Prescott. Again, customer health complaints and pleas are rising there (see the comments, too, at the bottom).

Motorola Insider's Book Exposes the Truth: Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette: a Historical and Scientific Perspective ...............by Robert C. Kane


Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette

Some have said this iconoclastic 2001 book has been buried, or even frantically bought up by the industry after it came out. Now you can only get rare copies for over $100, or check one out from a few libraries. But Michael Heiming of MESURES IN SITU, Mesures de champs électromagnétiques posted a copy of this important awareness-blasting writing online after following legal precedent to get permission. THIS IS A MUST READ and one to share widely. Thank you, Michael, for making sure this information gets out!

The following blurb comes from the site (which includes a well-known skeptic's illogical criticisms of this book in attempts to hide its information):

Robert C. Kane had been working as top developer inside Motorola for decades, developing mobile phones. He died from brain cancer a few years ago, not without leaving this planet with a message, which you can find in his book.

Robert C. Kane has been actively employed in the telecommunications industry for more than thirty years. He holds a BSEE from the Midwest College of Engineering, an MSEE with an emphasis in electromagnetics from the Illinois Institute of Technology and also at the Illinois Institute of Technology, has completed the full course of study and research leading to the Ph.D. in electrical engineering with emphasis in the fields of electromagnetics and solid-state physics.


As a research scientist and product design engineer, he has been directly involved with programs and projects for the design and development of portable cell phones, radio frequency mobile radios, microwave telecommunications systems, video display systems, and biological effects research.

Download Whole Book here;


This is a kamikaze book, and would, if it got the attention it deserved, eviscerate the cell phone industry. If I were Robert C. Kane, I'd hire a bodyguard. The men behind the megabucks being raked in by the wireless industry can't be happy about a book like this. In lucid, readable, decisive prose, Kane, an industry insider, systematically dismantles the wireless industry's pretense of product safety. There is no pussyfooting around here about how there "may" be health concerns, as the February issue of Consumer Reports puts it. Kane starts right in on page one by stating, "Talking on a cellular phone can be likened to holding a microwave oven to one's head." Check out the last two chapters, "Public Deception I" and "Public Deception II", and the quotes from Carl Sagan and Ayn Rand. Powerful stuff. And then throw away your cell phone.


Book journalists need to read August 17, 2007


In Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette, author Robert Kane, a former top Motorola engineer, traces the history of cell phone development (in which he was involved) and analyzes the cell phone radiation bioeffects research base from 1950 to 1996.

Despite industry's claim to safety, Kane's report suggests that there was much more information available indicating safety concerns than the industry has ever acknowledged.

The work includes a review of:

· The foundations of radiofrequency (RF) radiation research (starting with radar).

· The discoveries of bioeffects from RF exposure as early as the 1970's, and the discovery of "hot spots" in the brains of mobile phone users.

· The industry's influence on "safe" exposure guidelines in order to meet its own product needs.

· The ways research design can be manipulated to bias the outcome of lab studies.

· The red-herring requirement by industry that research must identify a single biological causation mechanism for adverse health effects from RF exposure before science can say there is proven harm.

·The emergence of a PR campaign to mask the risks of cell phone radiation to the user.

It needs a good index and some section headings, but this book is jam-packed with information, much of which you won't find anywhere else. It will be of interest to those who have already gained some familiarity with the RF radiation health issue and are not put off by some of the technical terms used (megahertz, S.A.R., etc.). Serious readers may begin to smell more-than-feint traces of tobacco.

Another good book to dig up is Nicholas Steneck's 1984 science-and-values overview of "The Microwave Debate" which shows there has been some concern about RF radiation's ability to affect biology for quite some time.

Peco Energy in Pennsylvania "renames" smart meters


Apr 15, 2012 (The Philadelphia Inquirer - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Last month Peco Energy Co. began installing the first of 1.6 million new-generation electric meters, part of a transformation that it hopes will revolutionize the way that customers communicate with the utility.


The new meters, which Pennsylvania is requiring for all large electric utilities, allow for two-way wireless communication with customers, setting the stage for time-of-use pricing next year. They also will improve utilities' ability to detect and manage outages, as well as to turn on or shut off customers
remotely.

Peco Energy Co. in Pennsylvania is not calling "smart meters" smart meters, but by their technical name, AMI (Advanced Meter Infrastructure) meters because of the negative perception people have of the smart meter term related to nationwide resistance! Talk about sneaky, huh?


Of course a skunk by any other name is still a skunk, and people will not be fooled - the stink is too strong. But Pennsylvania has a battle ahead, despite some legislative support for opt outs from State Rep. Mike Reese (R., Westmoreland).




As for that time-of-use plan, it is actually a utility-run game with new, tricky rates that penalize people who won't or can't play the game. Peco customers can expect the utility will offer treats to condition them to use the system, kind of like Frankie the Betta here:





A final warning to Peco customers (besides just keep swimming, just keep swimming): don't hold your breath for authentic treats like bloodworms. Your utility might "say" you are getting bloodworms, but you have seen how they're trying to be crafty with words.

AU Doctor reports smart meters ruining her life, ignored by Premier

What happens when smart meters make the world's doctors so sick they are no longer able to work? The lives they would have saved and helped are also harmed, not to mention their families' suffering.

Worldwide, SMART METERS ARE RUINING PEOPLE's LIVES. The insane denial will eventually be drowned out. How many will ruined lives will it take?

Will 300 million smart meters "break China?"

The State Grid Corporation of China is going to stomp on the throat of its own nation's vigor, installing 300 million dangerous, microwave-spewing smart meters by the end of 2015. Well, at least Americans won't be the only lab rats for non-thermal effects. It will give scientists worldwide a much large population to study to death before finally admitting the full impact of the great experiment.

Studies showing no radiofrequency radiation effects on rats missing important factors

I have been reading some of the studies at PubMed, such as this one, which find no effect of radiofrequency exposure on lab animals, including memory function or sleep patterns, etc.

However, none of the animals in these studies were made to have higher levels of heavy metals/mercury, metallic implants, diabetes or other factors that could interact with rf to cause or amplify effects.

Overall health status, genetics and age (very young/very old) are all factors not accounted for. And the length and cumulative doses of exposure would not necessarily mirror the chonic dosing people are getting today. Therefore, to say studies of healthy rats prove rf radiation is harmless to humans as they are exposed today is illogical (and irresponsible).

Your wireless is hurting us: why don't you listen (and care)?

Wired Child at Facebook wants to know why people who are gaga over wireless toys and apps do not care about the people who are sensitive and getting sick from the emissions. This is an eloquent piece, but perhaps it puts too much faith in humanity's awareness, goodness and bravery.

Many people who use wireless may simply have no clue about the dangers. And if they start to get an inkling, they might be afraid to believe the unthinkable: that their leaders have allowed and even encouraged the proliferation of a dangerous, far-reaching technology - out of sheer stupidity or greed. Who is steering this ship then? Surely, they wouldn't let us be hurt...or would they? Would they?!

Besides harboring fear, people are by nature selfish. Morality and compassion are learned. Without a moral compass, humans will refuse to give up fun, profitable stuff even if it may be hurting others. I think it will take a higher power to inspire empathy around the devastating wireless proliferation, especially since microwave/radiofrequency emissions can affect the moral centers of people's brains. This is a dark time for humanity, and the great experiment on earthly life has begun to take its toll. How many more will have to pay?

Welcome, Tennessee against smart meters

This is the first peep out of Tennessee I have heard regarding resistance against smart meters. Tractor, Farm and Family is a down to earth site, with the moderator, who works a 1000 acre sod farm in Arlington, TN listing his type of tractor right off, (John Deere 4030, John Deere 4020, Ford 8N). The posts were from a couple years ago. Hope things went well for them down there.

One simple question exposes the ugly truth about 1996 Telecommunications Act

WHY does the 1996 Telecommunications Act include language that prohibits state and local officials from protecting against "the environmental effects of the radiofrequency radiation" of wireless facilities? (this has been interpreted to mean no one may oppose a siting of a cell tower or other transmittor due to health concerns.) If there was no evidence of health effects, such language would have been unnecessary, now, wouldn't it?

Microwave Nation: Making Waves 4

Please turn that thing off!

Microwave Nation: the Props make the Man (or Woman)

In case you were wondering why this new, quirky comic strip lacks proper furniture...

The props at the comic creation site (Pixton.com) used for Microwave Nation are varied to some extent. But I found no cell phone or cell tower or utility meter or other transmitting device to use and make the strip literal. Thus, I have substituted a science lab flask with some glowing red liquid in it to represent transmitting devices. (The H2O Red Hot Spray is a visible symbol for radiofrequency/microwave radiation, which can't be seen.) After all, the monstrous proliferation of microwave equipment is an experiment of sorts, so the lab flask symbol should work well enough.

Let's talk furniture. Or not. You can pose characters to sit, but I did not find a chair to put them in. So, you can have a meeting but no place to sit. It is funnier to see them sitting there without a chair anyways (see strip #3.)

The settings available are also limited, and I prefer to focus on the interactions and meaning and feelings. Microwave Nation is minimalist when it comes to props and settings.

Microwave Nation: What is H2O Red Hot Spray anyways?

You will not find H2O Red Hot Spray at Wikipedia.

This exciting, new spray signaling technology is a metaphor for radiofrequency radiation in the painstakingly unfolding new comic strip, Microwave Nation: Making Waves (see first three strips below). But unlike microwaves, these spray signals can be seen by the viewer's naked, unabashed eye (but not by the comic strip characters). Convenient, no?

The budding comic series traces the development and deployment of the H2O Red Hot Spray devices from their simple-minded beginnings to current rabid popularity that knows no reasonable limits.

Settings are minimal, and any resemblance to real or imagined people will not be acknowledged (all characters are canned from the nifty comic creation site - Pixton). The sparse presentation of revealing dialogs is meant as abstracted cultural commentary.

Stay tuned for part Four.

Cell phone use can affect moral judgement center in brain: a buried study says

You can no longer find any references to cell phone use impact on moral judgement regarding this MIT study online.  Here is another link to the study. But I recall seeing cell phone use pondered when I first found it a couple years ago. Now, you can't find the study using cell phone and moral judgement as search terms. So, I am posting the link to help others find it.

This is an important study because the implications could be staggering to society if moral judgement can be affected by these devices. Cell phone users' attitudes towards fellow human beings could be hardened by this biological effect. Folks, this is "brave new world" kind of stuff. Take note and pass it on!

Asian update on deadly “smart meter” pandemic

Coming soon to an Asian country near you - microwave transmitting utility meters to dose residents and visitors 24/7 with dangerous pulsed radiofrequency radiation, which a new Greek study shows harms brain proteins - impacting learning, memory and alzheimer's development. So much for respecting people's qi or chi body energy, which will be seriously disrupted by the growing microwave exposures.


1.5 million meter V-AMI deployment in China announced by Glen Canyon Corporation


TEPCO to hold bids for 17 million smart meters

Taiwan:

October 2009: Taiwan Power is experimenting with wireless communications that allow a smart meter to communicate with appliances throughout the household. According to Ho Wu-chi of the government’s Industrial Technology Research Institute Taiwan will develop its own bi-directional communications system for smart meters.

Ho said that the potential for the international smart meter market is enormous. He said the world will need 30 million smart meters a year for the next 30 years and that each meter will cost between $50 and $100.

History of Microwave Mania: U.S. Safety Standards for Microwave Radiation based on faulty Military assumptions

Do you want the military to apply its let's-win-this-war safety standards to civilian applications of harmful emissions?

Magda Havas' site (here is the correct link for this topic) from the Zory Glaser archives exposes the faulty military assumptions upon which current safety standards for microwave/radiofrequency exposure are based. Her assessment of the article published in 1980 is absolutely chilling. The people making the 1966 U.S. standards had studies from 1926 to 1956 showing non-thermal harm from radiofrequency radiation available to them, yet ignored them all. Their main concern was military dominance, rather than public protection, she writes.

Just because we don't know the mechanisms involved is no excuse to not set safer guidelines, asserts Havas. She writes, "One thing that we seem to have forgotten is that standard setting does not require detailed knowledge about mechinisms or explanations about anonmalistic phenomena. To set a standard one simply needs to know at what level- for whatever reasons - harmful effects appear."

So, if you happened to be wondering how the U.S. exposure standards could be so high and where that absurd idea that there are no non-thermal effects of microwaves came from see Havas' "Pick of the Week #2."

VIDEO: Countywide Wireless Broadband radiation emits from Home Wiring


 Wireless BROADBAND Radiation level measured inside home:
before and after countywide expansion (no wireless used in house and power is off):

 


 

Wireless Broadband emits from Home Wiring.
HFE35C analyzer gives AUDIO broadband pulse on home outlets/plugs following countywide expansion. (Signal was only a couple places in home before expansion. No wireless devices used in house, and power is OFF).
 


No one asked permission of families to irradiate their homes, apartments, streets, parks countywide.

It adds yet another level of 100% involuntary exposure to pulsed radiofrequency energy.

American Academy of Pediatrics supports H.R. 6358 to establish safety standards

In July of this year the respected American Academy of Pediatrics wrote the FCC Chairman Genechowski asking for them to update exposure standards for cell phone radiation, which has not be done since 1996 despite power increases and usage explosion.

The AAP followed up with a letter of support for the (lame duck) legislation - H.R. 6358, the Cell Phone Right to Know Act - again, in the interest of protecting public health, especially children of all ages and pregnant women. Though this bill is unlikely to go forward it is a step in the right direction towards awareness of what needs to be done to protect future (and current) generations. An honest, thorough analysis of biological independent science is needed.

With the recent special report showing that even carrying a cell phone on the body may cause breast cancer, added to the citations the AAP lists, there is no excuse for our leaders to ignore what should be done. Besides, India's cellular radiation standards were already below America's and yet they decided to lower them even further recently to protect the public. It is time the U.S. addressed this looming crisis for our young and vulnerable populations.

The AAP cannot protect our children without your help. Please contact your federal lawmakers now to support H.R. 6358 and future bills addressing wireless radiation safety.

Finnish Awareness of Electro-sensitivity shown in blog

I ran into this wonderful Finnish blog called Breakfast on the Grass. Nutrition expert Juhana Harju writes this blog on the diet, dietary supplements and health.
- For those who want to take better care of your health-

See this article there about electro-sensitivity to see the awareness there.

Here is an excerpt:

Occupational Health CEO Harri Vainio where environmental sensitivies is concerned, such as the sensitivity of the electrical and chemical sensitivity, growth in recent years. He also considered the Finnish Medical Journal article entitled "Electricity in the air - and in the brain," we responded too naively EMF effects. I think we are, and Chief Executive Officer Vainion the floor is all the more important that the environmental sensitivities supersede the labor market every year perhaps hundreds of highly educated people. It is interesting that among them there is also a lot of IT professionals.

Sensitive electrical challenges presented by the environment increasing, wireless data networks. In many workplaces and homes rejected corded telephones and switching to mobile phones. Exposure to electromagnetic fields is growing - many fancy cell phone to your ear.

Ongoing COSMOS trial of 10 000 respondents 50% considered themselves indicate a feeling of warmth to the ear, headache 10%, 8%, dizziness, numbness in the hands, 31%, 26% feeling of warmth on the face and 16% of tinnitus with the use of a mobile phone. Mobile phone technology, mobile phones and base stations, in addition to the wireless home phone, a lot of home electrical appliances, TV, computer, fluorescent and energy saving lamps, power lines or substations trigger symptoms. Lamps used in dimmer switches, converters and energy-saving bulbs produce the power grid noise spikes or transients that are sensitive to electric feel particularly problematic.


With varying degrees of sensitivity. Some of the symptoms are under control and the ability to work is maintained. In others the situation varies - the exposure time increases the sensitivity, but will level off when the electromagnetic fields generating sources are avoided. So far, for unknown reasons, some sensitive to a more permanent, marginalized and lose their ability to work.

With a wide range of symptoms and reactions are unique:


Skin burning and stinging
tinnitus
Cardiac arrhythmias
Shortness of breath
Muscle and joint pain
depression
Neurological symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, coordination problems, insomnia, short-term memory and cognitive disorders

I do not have a malt without wondering how many of the labor market of excluded a diagnosis of depression, in fact, a young power is sensitive? Do not just young people not major consumers of new technology? Children and young adults are in many respects more sensitive.

Human beings are electromagnetic beings and many of the body's functions are electro-magnetically controlled. Weak electrical impulses in our bodies and criss-driven functions of the body. Cells are vital to the cell membrane potential difference between the electronic maintained. The heart and the brain functions as a low-frequency transmitters. Their activities may result in the entire area of the body and at a distance. Heart, brain and muscle electrical activity can be registered (ECG, EEG, EMG). Unestakin it is known that the depth of the various stages of the brain electromagnetic pulses vary.

Nature's Victims of Manmade Electromagnetic Radiation? Great Chestnut Trees of Europe

By the time the scientists add 1+1 and do their homework on manmade EMR impacts on delicate, molecular functions and processes in nature it may be too late.

Take the dying of the great chestnut trees of Europe, for example. Scientists are scratching their heads as to why the leaf miner moths are proliferating. These moths are robbing aged trees of sunlight and opening them to infections.

The article states, "Without any clear reason, the moth became rampant and spread through much of Europe about a decade ago."

Helloooo. Wireless emissions had taken hold and continued to grow around that time. A little research online shows that MOTHS (and other insects/creatures) can sense and use electromagnetic energy especially for mating purposes. This all happens at a molecular level.

Here are just a few quotes showing how these small lifeforms may be cued into electromagentic energy in ways humans do not yet understand.

"Entomologists and naturalists dating back to the early 18th Century had suggested the possibility that insects communicate by radiations emitted from oscillating molecules. Riley referred to certain subtle vibrations that could be detected by a sense organ that does not respond to light of the same frequencies that our eyes can see, but that responds to other frequencies to which we are blind."

"The moth antenna has a remarkable resemblance to a radar antenna."
"Phillip Callahan found a variety of correspondences between the structures of various insect antennas and radio and microwave antennas."


Would the scientists that have no clue why leaf miner moths are madly reproducing please look into the potential EMR impact ASAP?

Heritage Foundation and Google want U.S. to blanket Cubans with Super Wi-Fi

In the name of promoting free thought and Internet use the U.S. Heritage Foundation, along with Google, want us to cover Cuban cities with remote wireless Internet signals. This conservative thinktank is even asking Obama to get on this. But is anyone going to ask the Cuban people FIRST if they consent to being irradiated with super WiFi from the U.S.? Wireless broadband delivery makes some people immediately ill, and wears away the cellular functions of everyone. There is no place to hide. Irradiating our own people who do not want wireless broadband is bad enough. Irradiating other nations ought to be a crime. What good is freedom if it comes in a poisoned package and ruins the health and lives of the people it is supposed to benefit?

Here is one online English translation of the Spanish article:


The Heritage Foundation, Washington-based conservative organization urged the government to create a wireless network to provide remote Internet to Cuba.
 
The idea comes after The Heritage Foundation and Google Ideas come together to discuss the impact of technology and Internet development on the island. The event was invited Cuban Senator Marco Rubio who said that the Cuban government would not last long in Cuba with unlimited internet access. Among the recommendations made by The Heritage Foundation U.S. government are:


Increasing support to the opposition movement in Cuba, which seeks to break the Cuban government's monopoly on information through the use of technology, including smart phones and USB devices, text messaging, and explore the creation of a defense fund "Activist" to provide financial support to activists in Cuba.


Partnering with technology companies and NGOs with experience operating in Cuba to explore new ways to leverage technology to support journalists using lessons learned from the last of the "Arab Spring" in the Middle East.


Browse new "super Wi-Fi" to transmit remotely free wireless Internet access in more densely populated areas of Cuba. New technological advances allow this type of technology.
Expanding Internet access provided by the U.S. Interests Section in Havana to a greater number of users of Cuba and encourage U.S. allies to do the same.


Promote support programs that generate greater international awareness of Internet censorship in Cuba as a means to generate additional support from citizens and governments around the world.

The report "The Heritage Foundation" calls on Obama to make a greater effort to secure the release of information to the Cuban people. All ideas of this organization are great, if the government of Cuba does not want his people because the internet has obtained from another side. With advances in technology issues the government of Cuba will begin to see in a serious predicament.

Ten years after Freiburg Appeal where 1000 international physicians warned about wireless, physicians warn again

Stop Smart Meters Australia caught this article which TEN YEARS after the Freiburg Appeal by 1000 international physicians warned about wireless harm is being evoked by physicians to try to save the health of the planet's people and life.

An excerpt from the article:

International Doctor’s Appeal 2012 - 10 Years after Freiburg Appeal: Wireless radiation poses a health risk. Physicians demand precaution now. More than 1000 physicians signed the “Freiburg Appeal” in 2002. It was translated into many languages. As many as 36,000 people from all over the world support its warning about the dangers of wireless radiation.


Today-ten years later-we as physicians call again on the international community. We are deeply concerned. Despite all warnings, more and more new wireless technologies are introduced into our lives: cell phone networks, TETRA, LTE, cordless phones, Wi-Fi, baby monitors, wireless meters, digital radio and TV, and many others. All of these wireless technologies overload the biophysical pathways of cell communication in living systems with increasing layers and densities of electromagnetic fields.


Human, animal, and plant life is controlled by naturally occurring electromagnetic fields (EMF) and signals. Technical fields and frequencies can interfere profoundly with the biological processes of cell communication and cell metabolism. Initially, the self-healing power of living beings will compensate for imbalances through finely tuned control mechanisms. Prolonged electromagnetic stress, however, may lead to a chronic lack of energy and resulting diseases. The consequences of this fundamental impairment of self-regulation have repeatedly been demonstrated in scientific studies:


Clumping of red blood cells, increased permeability of the protective blood-brain barrier, changes in brain wave activity and heart rhythm, unbalanced release of neurotransmitters and hormones (especially the increase in stress hormones), immune system impairment, damage to the genetic material, lowered fertility, to name only a few of the best known examples.


Oxidative cell stress-a major cause of many diseases-has been shown to be the main effect mechanism of radiation exposure.


As physicians, we currently observe a worrisome rise in mental health problems such as depression, burnout syndrome as well as sleep, anxiety, and panic disorders. This also applies to a multitude of other diseases: stroke (also in children and even in fetuses in the womb), degenerative neurological disorders (e.g. dementia, epilepsy, brain tumors), headaches, autism, learning disorders, concentration problems, behavioral disorders, allergies, skin problems, pain syndromes, susceptibility to infections, high blood pressure, metabolic disorders, multi-system disorders, and cancer, to name only the most prominent and most frequent symptoms and disorders. More and more frequently, we also observe a clear pattern of temporal and spatial relationships between the onset of these symptoms and disorders and the start of a radiation exposure, e.g. in the vicinity of a newly installed cell tower, heavy cell phone use, or the use of a DECT cordless phone, wireless Internet router, or other wireless technology in the home, in a neighbor’s home, or at work.


Children and adolescents especially and increasingly display addictive behavior in the use of their cell phones and other online devices. According to the latest scientific evidence, they are also the most vulnerable. The number of those who suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity is steadily growing. Electrosensitive individuals can develop severe symptoms immediately or even several hours after the exposure to technical electromagnetic fields and frequencies. As physicians we welcome that Sweden has recognized electromagnetic hypersensitivity as a functional impairment and has provided protected zones for affected people. We would also like to point out and emphasize that the European Parliament has called on its member states “to follow the example of Sweden” and that U.S. State Governors have raised public awareness about the consequences of electromagnetic hypersensitivity.
 
 
The initiative of the Austrian Medical Association, which has released a guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of electrosensitive individuals, hopefully will also catch on in other countries. Our medical observations have been confirmed by scientific findings. Adverse effects of electromagnetic fields and the fundamental impairment of biological control mechanisms well below current exposure limits have been demonstrated, and in some instances, for decades...
 
 
See the article for more, including physicians' suggestions on now to avert further damage to public health.

EMF science controversy put in perspective: Magda Havas

American Medical Association should adopt Austrian Medical Association guidelines regarding EMF-related Illnesses

Take note, American Medical Association:


Guideline
of the Austrian Medical Association
for the diagnosis and treatment
of EMF related health problems and illnesses (EMF syndrome)

Consensus paper of the Austrian Medical Association’s EMF Working Group ( AG-EMF)



Adopted at the meeting of environmental medicine officers of the Regional Medical Association´s and the Austrian Medical Association on March 3, 2012 in Vienna.


ESPECIALLY NOTE #6:


6. Treatment

The primary method of treatment should consist in the prevention or reduction of EMF exposure, taking care to reduce or eliminate all sources of EMF if possible. Many examples have shown that such measures can prove effective.


Since sufficient EMF reduction is not possible in all cases, other measures can and must be considered. These include not only keeping additional exposure to a minimum, but also enhancing and increasing resistance to EMF. In some cases, positive effects of holistic medicine treatments have been reported.


We take it as given that appropriate treatment will be initiated after diagnosis if the patient presents manifest illness. Regardless of such treatment, the above-mentioned measures to reduce exposure should also be taken.

Magnetic sensors may (partly) explain microwave sickness or sensitivity

Birds can do it.
Fish can do it.
Rats can do it.
Why can't we?

Well, who says we can't feel magnetic changes in our environment like the animals do?
This article may shed some light on why some people report sensations from changes in environmental fields, including growing electro-pollution. A fascinating read, just the kind of evidence needed to debunk naysayers' assumptions!

Of course, other biological impacts and factors may be contributing to physical experience of the fields, including the actual damage in process to cellular and system function. A person's metal burden (stored heavy metals and chemicals) could also be factors. Metals especially would interact with electromagnetic waves. But this finding is important and the next step is to look for magnetic sensor in human cells.

Discovery of magnetic sensors in fish and rats may explain why some people can 'feel' wi-fi, smart meters, power lines and electropollution

Oakland County MI man charged felony, fined $25,000 for protecting wife from new smart meter

The GOOD news is a resolution passed in Oakland County MI to tell legislators to allow people to avoid having smart meters.

The BAD news is a local man, who knew nothing about smart meters until they figured out that was what was making his wife ill in the house, is being fined $25,000 plus a felony charge for "tampering with the meter." He gave notice and replaced the meter, and says he would do it again to protect his family.

Using the "tampering with the meter" utility law against citizens whose health is impacted by transmitting meters is an outrage. The tampering codes and laws were meant to keep people from stealing power. These people are law abiding citizens, who just want to control their home environments, no, who need to do so or be ill. The utilities and public service commissions slapping this clause on people whose health depends upon NOT having transmitting equipment on their homes are ABUSING their power as monopolies.

Folks, want to know what living in a communist society would be like? Look no further than this smart meter situation in the U.S.

Compendium of Radiofrequency Harmful Effects: Blood-Brain Barrier damaged, lets toxins in (Dr. Leif Salford)

In his quest to cure glioblastoma multiforme - a cancer like an octopus in the brain - neurosurgeon (since 1967) and researcher Dr. Leif Salford discovers the impact of extremely low levels of microwave radiation on rat brains.

The blood-brain barrier normally protects our brains from toxins and other substances in the blood from migrating into the brain and causing damage. To open that natural protective barrier is extremely dangerous.

Radiofrequency radiation opens this barrier at levels much lower than a cell phone.
Repeat: Radiofrequency radiation opens this barrier at levels much lower than a cell phone.

Compendium of Radiofrequency Harmful Effects: accelerates tumors, increases malignancies (said FDA memo)

Microwave News Undercovers 1993 FDA Biologists Conclusion about Microwave Radiation

Thanks to a Microwave News request under the Freedom of Information Act, Microwave News unearthed an internal agency memo from the Food and Drug Administration in 1993. In the memo, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) biologists stated that the available data "strongly suggest" that microwave radiation can "accelerate the development of malignant tumors." "Of approximately eight chronic animal experiments known to us, five resulted in increased numbers of malignancies, accelerated progression of tumors, or both," wrote Drs. Mays Swicord and Larry Cress of FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) in Rockville, MD.

--- from Center for Safer Wireless newsletter

AND YET, this post at AEGIS (a shielding products site) shows how the FDA hid this finding in 1997 and 2000 public statements about "inconclusive scientific basis" regarding radiofrequency exposures and health risks.

Compendium of Radiofrequency Harmful Effects: oxidative stress

900 MHz pulse-modulated radiofrequency radiation induces oxidative stress on heart, lung, testis and liver tissues. (2011)


What is oxidative stress and why is it bad?

Oxidative stress represents an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage. Disturbances in the normal redox state of cells can cause toxic effects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components of the cell, including proteins, lipids, and DNA. Further, some reactive oxidative species act as cellular messengers in redox signaling. Thus, oxidative stress can cause disruptions in normal mechanisms of cellular signaling.
In humans, oxidative stress is thought to be involved in the development of many diseases or may exacerbate their symptoms. These include cancer,[1] Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease,[2] atherosclerosis, heart failure,[3] myocardial infarction,[4] Schizophrenia;[5] Bipolar disorder,[6] fragile X Syndrome,[7] Sickle Cell Disease,[8] and chronic fatigue syndrome.[9]
In fact, oxidative stress (OS) is an important etiologic factor of the pathologic process of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and cancer (e.g., leukemia), the devastating disorders affecting millions of people worldwide.

Cover-up of Milton Zaret's early evidence of microwave harm

Microwave News remembers Milton Zaret, an “Early Prophet” of Microwave Hazards, who has died at 91. Military and industry cover-ups and attempts to discredit him abounded.

The article shows that corruption in science is nothing new; and those with power have been willing to sacrifice caution and public health for the gain of their institutions and industries, historically to the present.

Arizona smart meter news story: "Smart meters causing mysterious ailments"

This FoxNews (Phoenix) smart meter story (print and video) came out May 10 at 10:10 p.m. It is titled, Smart meters causing mysterious ailments. Several electromagnetically sensitive people are interviewed (amazingly).



At least it sounds like customers will be able to opt out: "Our job is to respond to our customers needs and if they express a desire for whatever reason they don't want this on their home then it's our job to see if we can find a plan that accommodates that," says Gross." (utility representative)

The Arizona fight is also touching Prescott. Again, customer health complaints and pleas are rising there (see the comments, too, at the bottom).

Motorola Insider's Book Exposes the Truth: Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette: a Historical and Scientific Perspective ...............by Robert C. Kane


Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette

Some have said this iconoclastic 2001 book has been buried, or even frantically bought up by the industry after it came out. Now you can only get rare copies for over $100, or check one out from a few libraries. But Michael Heiming of MESURES IN SITU, Mesures de champs électromagnétiques posted a copy of this important awareness-blasting writing online after following legal precedent to get permission. THIS IS A MUST READ and one to share widely. Thank you, Michael, for making sure this information gets out!

The following blurb comes from the site (which includes a well-known skeptic's illogical criticisms of this book in attempts to hide its information):

Robert C. Kane had been working as top developer inside Motorola for decades, developing mobile phones. He died from brain cancer a few years ago, not without leaving this planet with a message, which you can find in his book.

Robert C. Kane has been actively employed in the telecommunications industry for more than thirty years. He holds a BSEE from the Midwest College of Engineering, an MSEE with an emphasis in electromagnetics from the Illinois Institute of Technology and also at the Illinois Institute of Technology, has completed the full course of study and research leading to the Ph.D. in electrical engineering with emphasis in the fields of electromagnetics and solid-state physics.


As a research scientist and product design engineer, he has been directly involved with programs and projects for the design and development of portable cell phones, radio frequency mobile radios, microwave telecommunications systems, video display systems, and biological effects research.

Download Whole Book here;


This is a kamikaze book, and would, if it got the attention it deserved, eviscerate the cell phone industry. If I were Robert C. Kane, I'd hire a bodyguard. The men behind the megabucks being raked in by the wireless industry can't be happy about a book like this. In lucid, readable, decisive prose, Kane, an industry insider, systematically dismantles the wireless industry's pretense of product safety. There is no pussyfooting around here about how there "may" be health concerns, as the February issue of Consumer Reports puts it. Kane starts right in on page one by stating, "Talking on a cellular phone can be likened to holding a microwave oven to one's head." Check out the last two chapters, "Public Deception I" and "Public Deception II", and the quotes from Carl Sagan and Ayn Rand. Powerful stuff. And then throw away your cell phone.


Book journalists need to read August 17, 2007


In Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette, author Robert Kane, a former top Motorola engineer, traces the history of cell phone development (in which he was involved) and analyzes the cell phone radiation bioeffects research base from 1950 to 1996.

Despite industry's claim to safety, Kane's report suggests that there was much more information available indicating safety concerns than the industry has ever acknowledged.

The work includes a review of:

· The foundations of radiofrequency (RF) radiation research (starting with radar).

· The discoveries of bioeffects from RF exposure as early as the 1970's, and the discovery of "hot spots" in the brains of mobile phone users.

· The industry's influence on "safe" exposure guidelines in order to meet its own product needs.

· The ways research design can be manipulated to bias the outcome of lab studies.

· The red-herring requirement by industry that research must identify a single biological causation mechanism for adverse health effects from RF exposure before science can say there is proven harm.

·The emergence of a PR campaign to mask the risks of cell phone radiation to the user.

It needs a good index and some section headings, but this book is jam-packed with information, much of which you won't find anywhere else. It will be of interest to those who have already gained some familiarity with the RF radiation health issue and are not put off by some of the technical terms used (megahertz, S.A.R., etc.). Serious readers may begin to smell more-than-feint traces of tobacco.

Another good book to dig up is Nicholas Steneck's 1984 science-and-values overview of "The Microwave Debate" which shows there has been some concern about RF radiation's ability to affect biology for quite some time.

Peco Energy in Pennsylvania "renames" smart meters


Apr 15, 2012 (The Philadelphia Inquirer - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Last month Peco Energy Co. began installing the first of 1.6 million new-generation electric meters, part of a transformation that it hopes will revolutionize the way that customers communicate with the utility.


The new meters, which Pennsylvania is requiring for all large electric utilities, allow for two-way wireless communication with customers, setting the stage for time-of-use pricing next year. They also will improve utilities' ability to detect and manage outages, as well as to turn on or shut off customers
remotely.

Peco Energy Co. in Pennsylvania is not calling "smart meters" smart meters, but by their technical name, AMI (Advanced Meter Infrastructure) meters because of the negative perception people have of the smart meter term related to nationwide resistance! Talk about sneaky, huh?


Of course a skunk by any other name is still a skunk, and people will not be fooled - the stink is too strong. But Pennsylvania has a battle ahead, despite some legislative support for opt outs from State Rep. Mike Reese (R., Westmoreland).




As for that time-of-use plan, it is actually a utility-run game with new, tricky rates that penalize people who won't or can't play the game. Peco customers can expect the utility will offer treats to condition them to use the system, kind of like Frankie the Betta here:





A final warning to Peco customers (besides just keep swimming, just keep swimming): don't hold your breath for authentic treats like bloodworms. Your utility might "say" you are getting bloodworms, but you have seen how they're trying to be crafty with words.

AU Doctor reports smart meters ruining her life, ignored by Premier

What happens when smart meters make the world's doctors so sick they are no longer able to work? The lives they would have saved and helped are also harmed, not to mention their families' suffering.

Worldwide, SMART METERS ARE RUINING PEOPLE's LIVES. The insane denial will eventually be drowned out. How many will ruined lives will it take?

Will 300 million smart meters "break China?"

The State Grid Corporation of China is going to stomp on the throat of its own nation's vigor, installing 300 million dangerous, microwave-spewing smart meters by the end of 2015. Well, at least Americans won't be the only lab rats for non-thermal effects. It will give scientists worldwide a much large population to study to death before finally admitting the full impact of the great experiment.

Studies showing no radiofrequency radiation effects on rats missing important factors

I have been reading some of the studies at PubMed, such as this one, which find no effect of radiofrequency exposure on lab animals, including memory function or sleep patterns, etc.

However, none of the animals in these studies were made to have higher levels of heavy metals/mercury, metallic implants, diabetes or other factors that could interact with rf to cause or amplify effects.

Overall health status, genetics and age (very young/very old) are all factors not accounted for. And the length and cumulative doses of exposure would not necessarily mirror the chonic dosing people are getting today. Therefore, to say studies of healthy rats prove rf radiation is harmless to humans as they are exposed today is illogical (and irresponsible).

Your wireless is hurting us: why don't you listen (and care)?

Wired Child at Facebook wants to know why people who are gaga over wireless toys and apps do not care about the people who are sensitive and getting sick from the emissions. This is an eloquent piece, but perhaps it puts too much faith in humanity's awareness, goodness and bravery.

Many people who use wireless may simply have no clue about the dangers. And if they start to get an inkling, they might be afraid to believe the unthinkable: that their leaders have allowed and even encouraged the proliferation of a dangerous, far-reaching technology - out of sheer stupidity or greed. Who is steering this ship then? Surely, they wouldn't let us be hurt...or would they? Would they?!

Besides harboring fear, people are by nature selfish. Morality and compassion are learned. Without a moral compass, humans will refuse to give up fun, profitable stuff even if it may be hurting others. I think it will take a higher power to inspire empathy around the devastating wireless proliferation, especially since microwave/radiofrequency emissions can affect the moral centers of people's brains. This is a dark time for humanity, and the great experiment on earthly life has begun to take its toll. How many more will have to pay?

Texas Smart Meter Showdown - update

Devvy Kidd told me: We filed the petition on Thursday in Austin. Not a single member of the media showed up. Now we wait for the hearing date. WND just posted story on our 'smart' meter filing with the PUC It is a featured story in their big box at the top of the page: Texans demand freedom from smart meters

Texas Smart Meter Showdown, and New Jersey Resistance Begins...

Smart Meter Showdown in Texas - happened this week (waiting for full coverage of yesterday...) AND New Jersey has begun resistance against smart meter installations. Go, team.

Welcome, Tennessee against smart meters

This is the first peep out of Tennessee I have heard regarding resistance against smart meters. Tractor, Farm and Family is a down to earth site, with the moderator, who works a 1000 acre sod farm in Arlington, TN listing his type of tractor right off, (John Deere 4030, John Deere 4020, Ford 8N). The posts were from a couple years ago. Hope things went well for them down there.

One simple question exposes the ugly truth about 1996 Telecommunications Act

WHY does the 1996 Telecommunications Act include language that prohibits state and local officials from protecting against "the environmental effects of the radiofrequency radiation" of wireless facilities? (this has been interpreted to mean no one may oppose a siting of a cell tower or other transmittor due to health concerns.) If there was no evidence of health effects, such language would have been unnecessary, now, wouldn't it?

Microwave Nation: Making Waves 4

Please turn that thing off!

Microwave Nation: the Props make the Man (or Woman)

In case you were wondering why this new, quirky comic strip lacks proper furniture...

The props at the comic creation site (Pixton.com) used for Microwave Nation are varied to some extent. But I found no cell phone or cell tower or utility meter or other transmitting device to use and make the strip literal. Thus, I have substituted a science lab flask with some glowing red liquid in it to represent transmitting devices. (The H2O Red Hot Spray is a visible symbol for radiofrequency/microwave radiation, which can't be seen.) After all, the monstrous proliferation of microwave equipment is an experiment of sorts, so the lab flask symbol should work well enough.

Let's talk furniture. Or not. You can pose characters to sit, but I did not find a chair to put them in. So, you can have a meeting but no place to sit. It is funnier to see them sitting there without a chair anyways (see strip #3.)

The settings available are also limited, and I prefer to focus on the interactions and meaning and feelings. Microwave Nation is minimalist when it comes to props and settings.

Microwave Nation: What is H2O Red Hot Spray anyways?

You will not find H2O Red Hot Spray at Wikipedia.

This exciting, new spray signaling technology is a metaphor for radiofrequency radiation in the painstakingly unfolding new comic strip, Microwave Nation: Making Waves (see first three strips below). But unlike microwaves, these spray signals can be seen by the viewer's naked, unabashed eye (but not by the comic strip characters). Convenient, no?

The budding comic series traces the development and deployment of the H2O Red Hot Spray devices from their simple-minded beginnings to current rabid popularity that knows no reasonable limits.

Settings are minimal, and any resemblance to real or imagined people will not be acknowledged (all characters are canned from the nifty comic creation site - Pixton). The sparse presentation of revealing dialogs is meant as abstracted cultural commentary.

Stay tuned for part Four.

Cell phone use can affect moral judgement center in brain: a buried study says

You can no longer find any references to cell phone use impact on moral judgement regarding this MIT study online.  Here is another link to the study. But I recall seeing cell phone use pondered when I first found it a couple years ago. Now, you can't find the study using cell phone and moral judgement as search terms. So, I am posting the link to help others find it.

This is an important study because the implications could be staggering to society if moral judgement can be affected by these devices. Cell phone users' attitudes towards fellow human beings could be hardened by this biological effect. Folks, this is "brave new world" kind of stuff. Take note and pass it on!

Asian update on deadly “smart meter” pandemic

Coming soon to an Asian country near you - microwave transmitting utility meters to dose residents and visitors 24/7 with dangerous pulsed radiofrequency radiation, which a new Greek study shows harms brain proteins - impacting learning, memory and alzheimer's development. So much for respecting people's qi or chi body energy, which will be seriously disrupted by the growing microwave exposures.


1.5 million meter V-AMI deployment in China announced by Glen Canyon Corporation


TEPCO to hold bids for 17 million smart meters

Taiwan:

October 2009: Taiwan Power is experimenting with wireless communications that allow a smart meter to communicate with appliances throughout the household. According to Ho Wu-chi of the government’s Industrial Technology Research Institute Taiwan will develop its own bi-directional communications system for smart meters.

Ho said that the potential for the international smart meter market is enormous. He said the world will need 30 million smart meters a year for the next 30 years and that each meter will cost between $50 and $100.

Electromagnetic hypersensitivity, fact or fiction? by Genius and Lipp: a MUST READ

This article - Electromagnetic hypersensitivity: Fact or fiction?" by Stephen J. Genius and Christopher T. Lipp of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Calgary, Canada - is hard to find searching, so I am posting it here in hopes it will come up more easily. Cheers.

History of Microwave Mania: U.S. Safety Standards for Microwave Radiation based on faulty Military assumptions

Do you want the military to apply its let's-win-this-war safety standards to civilian applications of harmful emissions?

Magda Havas' site (here is the correct link for this topic) from the Zory Glaser archives exposes the faulty military assumptions upon which current safety standards for microwave/radiofrequency exposure are based. Her assessment of the article published in 1980 is absolutely chilling. The people making the 1966 U.S. standards had studies from 1926 to 1956 showing non-thermal harm from radiofrequency radiation available to them, yet ignored them all. Their main concern was military dominance, rather than public protection, she writes.

Just because we don't know the mechanisms involved is no excuse to not set safer guidelines, asserts Havas. She writes, "One thing that we seem to have forgotten is that standard setting does not require detailed knowledge about mechinisms or explanations about anonmalistic phenomena. To set a standard one simply needs to know at what level- for whatever reasons - harmful effects appear."

So, if you happened to be wondering how the U.S. exposure standards could be so high and where that absurd idea that there are no non-thermal effects of microwaves came from see Havas' "Pick of the Week #2."
