Smart meters made us ill, says resident

BY ALECIA PINNER A MT Eliza couple has been sleeping in their van for six weeks as they believe their smart meter is making them sick. Rosemary, said her symptoms began soon after the smart meter was installed.

Residents raise concerns about health effects of digital meters

Now, concern that AMRs and Smart Meters — which allow for two-way communication of data that can be accessed remotely by an energy or water company — might cause serious health problems is slowly growing across the country.

Changes of Clinically Important Neurotransmitters
 
Attached is a study  Buchner and Eger, published 2011.  This study, which analyzed human urine samples taken before a cell tower was deployed in a Bavarian village and for 18 months afterward, shows that the chronically ill as well as children react more strongly than healthy adults.  In this study, people with allergies, asthma, and diabetes are among those designated as chronically ill.  The authors also show a correlation to the recorded depletion of PEA as a mechanism for the disregulation of adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine at the end of the study.   They further discuss PEA's involvement in ADD, ADHD and mental illness.  From the study:

"The decrease of PEA levels between July 2004 and July 2005 is highly significant (p<0.0001)

"The effect mechanism of PEA in the catecholamine system is the center of current pharmaceutical research efforts. In molecular biological terms, intracellular TAAR (trace amine-associated receptor) G-protein-coupled receptors that mediate modulatory effects of
PEA are verified (20).
For high nanomolar to low micromolar PEA concentrations, in vivo studies  have  shown amphetamine-like effects.  During an increase
of PEA,  an increased amount of noradrenaline and dopamine is also released and the reuptake of these substances is impaired (25,
26).
According to Burchett, the following effects of PEA amplifying the catecholamine effect are assumed to be known: Direct agonist action via increased release of transmitters, reuptake inhibition,  and stimulation of transmitter synthesis as well as inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO) (19). PEA's high lipophilia—a prerequisite for the permeability of membrane barriers such as the blood-brain
barrier—is of note here; PEA levels in the brain, serum, and urine correlate quite well (10, 21, 25, 27).
The clinical relevance of changed PEA levels is well documented for mental illnesses. Endogenous depression is associated with lowered PEA levels, whereby the transition from depression to maniac episodes is accompanied by an increase in PEA levels (28-32).
The therapeutic increase in the PEA level has a positive impact on the course of the disease. Phenylalanine improves the effectiveness
of antidepressants; PEA by itself is a good antidepressant—effective in 60% of the cases of depression.
In persons with ADD/ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), PEA levels are substantially lower; the ADHD treatment with
methylphenidate (Ritalin®) normalizes PEA excretion in the urine of responders (33, 34).

Smart meter technology to drive up the costs of power

The Potential Impact of Mobile Phone Use on Trends in Brain and CNS Tumors

It is too early to predict future rates of brain cancer, but these
preliminary findings suggest that we should prepare for about a

doubled brain cancer incidence rate and possibly as high as 25 times the incidence we have today. One result of such a worldwide increase in

brain cancers would be a dramatic shortage of neurosurgeons leading to increased mortality. Any statement about harmless cell phones

based on only 5-10 years of use has no scientific basis due to the long latency times involved.

Bangkok - Another location to cross off your travel list

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Ministry says it will introduce free public WiFi at 20,000 locations around Greater Bangkok starting tomorrow.An additional 20,000 WiFi hotspots are expected by October next year, said ICT Minister Anudith Nakornthap.

Why didn't they check the health effects of microwave radiation before planning this?
