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."

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."
