SCIENCE SAYS: Man-made EMR dangerous, unlike Natural EMR

MAN-MADE MICROWAVES have grown to levels up to  10¹⁸ power higher than natural levels from the beginning of life on Earth, according to Dr. Leif Salford, neurosurgeon and researcher, who has studied the biological impacts of this radiation on our brains.

Furthermore, we can no longer say man-made wireless/EMR is harmless because we believe it is no different than Natural EMR. SCIENCE says this is simply not true. Therefore, those stating this untruth are not referring to science, but their own wishful thinking.

Abstract
In the present study we analyze the role of polarization in the biological activity of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs)/Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR). All types of man-made EMFs/EMR - in contrast to natural EMFs/EMR - are polarized. Polarized EMFs/EMR can have increased biological activity, due to: 1) Ability to produce constructive interference effects and amplify their intensities at many locations. 2) Ability to force all charged/polar molecules and especially free ions within and around all living cells to oscillate on parallel planes and in phase with the applied polarized field. Such ionic forced-oscillations exert additive electrostatic forces on the sensors of cell membrane electro-sensitive ion channels, resulting in their irregular gating and consequent disruption of the cell's electrochemical balance. These features render man-made EMFs/EMR more bioactive than natural non-ionizing EMFs/EMR. This explains the increasing number of biological effects discovered during the past few decades to be induced by man-made EMFs, in contrast to natural EMFs in the terrestrial environment which have always been present throughout evolution, although human exposure to the latter ones is normally of significantly higher intensities/energy and longer durations. Thus, polarization seems to be a trigger that significantly increases the probability for the initiation of biological/health effects.

Emergency Room Physician Discusses (her own) Electro-hypersensitivity (Dr. Erica Mallery-Blythe, UK)





Here is another video with the assessment of the science behind wireless radiation's biological impact, by Dr. Erica Mallery-Blythe: Electromagnetic Radiation Health for Children 2014 (70 minutes) by Dr. Erica Mallery-Blythe, a UK physician This video is a wide ranging overview of the impact of electromagnetic radiation on human health, particularly at microwave frequencies, with a special emphasis on children and the school environment.  (This video was posted here earlier, as well).

Michigan second-grader experiment repeats, confirms Danish findings: WIFI damages seeds

"I want to know why I get headaches when I'm around wireless devices but not the wires," Aiden says. "We use a laptop at home, and we have a television set, and it's only around wireless that I get the headaches."

So (the second grader) set about to answer his question. Patterning his experiment after a Danish experiment by a group of 9th grade students, Aiden and his mom bought some garden cress seeds, growing trays and napkins and got to work...

After six days, the results—similar to those in the Danish experiment—were stunning...

2000 study needs update: Exposure to electromagnetic fields and suicide among electric utility workers

Utility workers are at risk for suicide and other illnesses from exposures to electromagnetic fields, as shown in this study done in 2000, "Exposure to electromagnetic fields and suicide among electric utility workers," a nested case study.

Edwin van Wijngaarden,¹ David A Savitz,¹ Robert C Kleckner,¹ Jianwen Cai,¹ and Dana Loomis¹

 

One review of this study admitted, "certain persons may have increased vulnerability to this type of exposure, or interactive effects with other predictors of suicide may define particularly vulnerable times."

 

Here is the reviewer information at the time:

Corinne Peek-Asa¹

¹Southern California Injury Prevention Research Center, UCLA Department ofEpidemiology, Box 951772 Los Angeles, CA 90095-1772

 

Yet, the same reviewer expressed the opinion that "If exposure to electromagnetic fields does increase the risk for depression or worsen depressive symptoms, treatment and prevention should focus on the depressive symptoms themselves." No precautionary measures to avoid some of the exposures were suggested.

 

Peek-Asa closed with the statement, "Future research will hopefully elucidate the biologic pathway of this relationship, leading to more sophisticated prevention and treatment measures."

 

One could ask this reviewer, WHY do follow-up studies if treatment does not need to include any avoidance of EMF, or safer worker exposure standards? If EMF causes or adds to depression in utility workers, why not go for the ROOT of the problem? Of course, that is not the way traditional medicine usually handles conditions. Only environmental medicine looks at making actual environments better to protect living beings.

 

A newer study would be helpful, since utility workers are now exposed to microwave/radiofrequency radiation near installations in addition to the traditional power-line emissions (lower frequencies). One can assume that these workers are NOT adequately protected, since the FCC guidelines for exposure for the general public does NOT protect anyone from non-thermal radiation of wireless. Workers generally get more than the public. Utility worker unions, where are you?

De-Kun Li: indomitable scientist finds EMF impacts: obesity, asthma, sperm damage

Called the "last man standing" among U.S. environmental epidemiologists working on electromagnetic frequencies research, Dr. De-Kun Li continues to break ground in science exploring biological impacts of RF and magnetic radiation exposures. Unlike other scientists who had studied these impacts, he studies the effects in real time, where exposures are measured as they occur. This is called a prospective study, while in retrospective studies "epidemiologists attempt to estimate exposures and conditions that occurred in the past, sometimes many years later."

One year ago Li found that prenatal EMF exposure can cause obesity in children. His earlier studies linked EMF exposure to asthma and decline in sperm quality. In December 2012 the scientist filed testimony before the Maine Public Utility Commission regarding the issues of smart meter safety. He was asked if science supports the conclusion that wireless smart meters are safe. His expert response was, "No."

The previous year (2011) Dr. Li was one of the experts asked to submit input to the California Council on Science and Technology (CCST) for their health study on smart meters. Li's identifying and contact information must have been removed from his letter at the CCST site because it appears in full at another site.   Furthermore, you must have the URL to locate his letter at CCST because their search is "temporarily down." Plus on the "publications" page you can only find the CCST summary with their own bias on it. The page that includes Li and other experts' input is here, and took some digging to find.

So, what was so threatening about Dr. Li's input about smart meter safety to have to try to suppress it? The scientist simply describes how current FCC's RF exposure standards do not protect the public from biological effects and damage. Consequently, chronic smart meter exposures put people at risk.

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

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.
