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."

Cell phones, wifi and health links

I came across this 2010 post with many good links regarding cell phones and wifi, including the 2008 University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute 2008 announcement, which made news as it warned about cell phone use with a list of 10 precautions to follow. The more information that can be compiled, the better.

Tell FCC to maintain landline phone network

I posted why keeping landline phone service is crucial elsewhere. The FCC has not consulted with the American people on this, and we only have a small window - until April 18 - to tell them to keep maintaining landlines. This is especially important for people who cannot tolerate using cell phones. Please send your thoughts NOW before it is too late.

Could be microwaves, but probably not government mind-control tests

Are U.S. government microwave mind-control tests causing TV presenters' brains to melt down?

This recent article is correct that the garbled speech and illness of several high-profile announcers is consistent with possible symptoms from microwave exposure. But today's numerous sources of microwave radiation could be to blame rather than some shady government plot (although I could be wrong). The new soup of microwave radiation from cell phones, cell towers, smart meters and broadband/wi-fi is already harmful for people who have electrosensitivity. No central authority is keeping track of the mixture of microwave levels. And healthy people can develop this sensitivity with enough exposure.

Of course, the garbled announcers could have been affected by other factors unrelated to the environment. But it is always a good idea to try to be aware of all the possibilities.

Finally, Songs and Poetry about Smart Meters...

We've all been waiting for songs and poems about the perils of smart meter and other transmitting radiofrequency devices, right? So, here is the first batch I have found at an informative Texas anti-smart meter site.

And here is one of my poems on the highly charged topic. I included it with my comments to the Department of Justice about classifying EHS (electrical hyper-sensitivity) as a functional impairment. Please share it if you like.


Goose Journal: Woodlake, Wisconsin

On November tenth, jogging around Woodlake, I whisper
to a lone goose angling away from the just-landed gaggle,
“Why not go with them?” But it holds the distance.

November eleventh, it struts from beneath an overturned boat
to block my path, hissing and flapping, one wing bent awry.
I stand with the furious goose and hiss along at the injustice.

On the twenty-sixth, ice claws the edge of the water.
The goose, with puffed-out feathers, paddles at the center
as I sprint to thaw stiff toes under wool socks and Reeboks.

December second, the goose is gone. A piercing wind
slaps tears from my eyes as I pound on alone, unable to join
my own kind at the gym where the WiFi numbs my joints and wits.

As my species flies towards the microwave-steeped horizon,
on January ninth, trudging beside Woodlake, I pray
for others like me or that goose – losers in nature’s race.

Cell phone and MRI radiation releases significant mercury in dental amalgams

Wow. Guess who did this study, which had the results published in 2008? It wasn't the U.S.A. It wasn't a European country, not even Sweden. It was Iran/Pakistan scientists that found this out and sounded the alarm that more research is needed due to growing cell phone use. Wow.

CFL light bulbs give off electromagnetic radiowave pollution

This link from a 2009 blog article gives more details on the radiation emissions that CFL light bulbs give off. My earlier post (the first one on this blog) detailed tons of health problems people get from these bulbs. Exposure to the electromagnetic emissions might explain the symptoms some people get.

In the same vein, my electric power company, Alliant Energy, FINALLY included a paragraph in their circular suggesting the use of LED bulbs for everyday functions. Before, the utility ONLY promoted CFL bulbs, and without any warnings about the mercury or electromagnetic emissions (which one would not expect, since it might detract from their marketing aims).

Why are people getting sick from wireless utility meters? Independent Scientific Study Reveals Violation of FCC Standards

Scientific Analysis of New Wireless Meters May Explain Reported Health Symptoms.

A new study on wireless „smart‟ meters shows they are likely to violate Federal Communications Commission (FCC) safety limits in some instances where they are installed and operated close to where people spend time in their homes and back yards. . Further, the study found it typical to have excessively elevated radiofrequency (RF) radiation levels in rooms adjacent to the meter, comparable to living within 200 - 600 feet of cell phone towers. . Scientific studies have reported adverse health effects from chronic exposure to pulsed RF at the same levels and frequencies emitted by smart meters.
