Can electromagnetic exposure from cell phones and other devices both cure AND cause alzheimer's???

People jumping up and down for joy about a study that showed exposure to electromagnetic (such as cell phone energy) can prevent the build-up of plaque or protein that inhibits cellular communication in Alzheimer's disease need to sit down and listen. I am not a scientist, but I do try to apply logic to information (a librarian's habit) and here is my little theory:

Electromagnetic energy keeps the build-up of plaque/protein because it keeps the cells continuously activated (stressed?)at low levels so the bad stuff cannot settle.

By the same token, exposure could cause or accelerate brain dullness or Alzheimer's in some people because the same action would mobilize stored toxins/metals/chemicals in the body and brain causing free radical and oxidative damage. Electromagnetic exposure has been shown to cause a breach of the blood-brain barrier, which would allow these metals/toxins access to the brain.

So, the result depends upon the physiology, toxicity and heredity of the individual being exposed to the these emissions. Prevention for some is poison for others within range of exposure. That is why society should practice prudence and precaution in deploying more wireless devices and services.

Let's pump a bit of chloroform into our baby's bedroom...

Here is my comment in response to a heated debate at skeptoid.com on smart meters:

Let's pump a bit of chloroform into our baby's bedroom 24/7. Let's add a tad of lead to our kids' drinking water 24/7. Let's blow a little motor exhaust into our home air supply 24/7. Let's put a smart meter on the wall of our home that pulses radio-frequencies in bursts 24/7, along with all the neighbors' meters, which also pulse 24/7, cutting through our living spaces. Yeah. Let's not take any precautions with potentially harmful exposures, despite the existence of some damning scientific studies and people's reports of harm. Oh, yeah.

And most of all, let's demonize people who report they are made sick by wireless emissions, and get better only when away from them. Let's just label them as crazy and be done with their inconvenient protest. After all, they can't prove it so that automatically means we should ignore and discredit them, and not call for more studies and prudence in the meantime. They surely do not deserve our respect as fellow human beings, and they surely cannot be as smart as we are either. After all, we do not experience what they experience, so it can't be real. Even if they have a different physiology and genetic makeup than we do, their bodies should react like ours to have their experiences be real and valid. Yeah.

Besides, we like our convenient phones, wifi and see no problem with smart meters. No one is going to get in the way of our love affair with wireless technology! No one!

Smart Meter defenders = Dithering Idiots

I recently posted this comment at a site talking about the smart meter situation at Fort Bragg, CA because the article gave the utility industry's tricky explanation of how microwave-emitting meters cannot be harmful because they only send signals for a few seconds per day.

Smart Meters going off "just a minute a day" can mean sending bursts of energy several times or even pulsing short bursts every few seconds, 24/7. Then, all the meters in your neighborhood range "dither" - or go off at different moments. So you get a constant bombardment with this radiation.

Also, if you see these meters put at the edges of properties, especially in city blocks, when you walk by them and they happen to be going off, you get the full, close-up blast of disruptive radiation to you (and you children/pre-born,elderly,etc. ) A lot of times you'll see them at stoplights or near park sidewalks where people go to experience nature. You get exposed there, too, (to the dithering microwave radiation.)

Remember and use this word - dither - which comes from the industry itself. Smart meters dither and no one is keeping track of the COMBINED exposures when they go off in sequence or at the same moment in their patterns.

Dither dither dither dither. Add the word to your quill and use it to explain WHY the industry's description of the harmlessness of a few seconds of transmitted microwave radiation per day is misleading!

Let's respond to the dithering idiots in the utilities, who are feeding the public tricky information to justify their product's deployment!

Ways to protect yourself from wireless radiation at home

Though it is impossible to block the microwave radiation from cell towers, neighbors' smart meters and wifi, here are some things you can do to try to make your home safer, courtesy of Electrical Pollution, Solutions page.

Big (Allopathic) Medicine = Big Business

Here is an interesting video by Dr. Mercola, a controversial doctor because he promotes alternative methods to try to treat the root(s) of health conditions, rather than mask them with drugs like traditional allopathic doctors would do.

Big Medicine has a tremendous amount of power in people's lives, so we ought to be aware of its limitations and the full impact of this self-perpetuating industry. We put so much trust in this profession, but it might be a good idea to open our eyes and logical thinking to the way it works.

Of course, natural, alternative medicine can be harmful, too. For example, there were a number of reports on chelation backfiring, and people getting really sick from mobilizing the metals in a natural treatment. Some supplements can also end up being harmful, so in the case of one's health, it is good for the buyer to beware.

New 'Dumb Meter Song' Inspires

Here is a true grassroots protest song about the insanity of "smart" meters.

EMR Policy Institute Letter to Obama: Halt wireless broadband plan and smart meters deployment

Janet Newton of the EMR Policy Institute wrote an excellent June 5 letter to the current president calling for a halt to his national broadband initiative, which would waste taxpayer money on deploying wireless signals through 98% of the U.S. The initiative would spend over $25 billion dollars of taxpayer money on the risky, inefficient radiation-producing technology that also poses privacy and cybersecurity risks. Newton also discloses the wireless system would pose no energy savings and result in increased costs for consumers.

Anyone concerned about this great experiment with our nation's health and well-being may want to also write the president. Anyone who has not noticed any health effects from their current microwave and radio-frequency radiation exposure, better speak up now as a preventive measure for their family's future!
