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."

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.

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.

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.
