Stop Wi-Fi in Schools, Deputy Health Minister Implores

Yaakov Litzman asks education minister to halt installation of wireless internet due to hazards of electromagnetic radiation

http://www.timesofisrael.com/stop-wi-fi-in-schools-deputy-health-minister-implores/

By Philip Podolsky August 23, 2012,

Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman on Thursday implored Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar to immediately suspend the installation of wireless Internet in schools due to what he termed the hazards of electromagnetic radiation.

Litzman issued an official letter to Sa'ar following a letter he received from Attorney Michael Bach. Bach, citing medical research, warned about the health threats to students.

"I am in deep sympathy with Bach's letter," wrote Litzman. "I have dealt extensively with the issue, although I am not a professional, and I fear lest the day come when we shall rue the irreversible damage visited on our children."

Certain countries have banned Wi-Fi in educational institutions, most notably France, which has prohibited any kind of wireless communication in its schools.

Letter to the BC Medical Officer of Health

If Israel has found reason to ban WiFi in schools then why have Canadian health authorities not found reason.

I know a 13 year old here in Mission that had to quit school because of constant headaches as well as other symptoms of EMF exposure when ever she attended the school with WiFi. She was unaware of the cause of her symptoms until I asked if the school had WiFi.

This must be happening to others! Lets Find Out, Health Authorities! Not 10 years from now, BUT NOW!!

Could mobiles affect some more than others?

Mobile phones affect the brainwaves of some individuals more than others, say researchers, who are calling for a rethink about how we study the effects of the pervasive technology.

Neurological Disorder in US Kids on the Rise

As per a report, it has been revealed that there has been an enormous rise in the children who suffer from neurological disorders from 1997 to 2006 in US. The number has increased so much that now hospitals catering to such children have to call for more resources so that they could take better care of such children.

(More wireless radiation - more neurological problems.)

BC Hydro Lie to Customers when Installing Smart Meters

Cusheon Lake Smart Meter install on Salt Spring Island.

You be the judge, watch the videos. Did BC Hydro rep say meter would not work as a smart meter? I thought he said it would not be sending out a signal. Sure looks like it is up and running. Video by various Salt Spring people. Part of this video was broadcast live on CFSI 109.9fm Salt Spring community Radio. Dave Gordon was at the control room and Scott Simmons was live on site reporting what was happening.

Smart Meter Fires

Here are some incidents in Texas which you might have seen already.

[Damaged Appliances - Galveston, Texas, USA] Woman wants electric company to replace TV by T.J. Aulds - Galveston Daily News - August 23, 2012:
- http://galvestondailynews.com/story/336578

http://www.khou.com/news/local/Woman-blames-smart-meter-for-house-fire-167257385.html

What caught my attention is that the very same words, the same approach is being used there as in British Columbia.

First Hydro says it's not the meter but the home's base or wiring, so it's not the meter's fault

Second, the fire chief says the fire in Houston was the first involving smeters. Yet the electrician in the comments section says something different. There is a major cover up going on here and we need to expose it.

I hope everyone is tracking smart meter related fires and incidents in your area. Find out if your fire departments or Fire Commissioner is tracking. Our fire commissioner has no code for smart meters so any related fire is just coded "electrical". Our head fire chief said there is no need to track because he knows the meters are safe!!

We need to have a central place where we can share our information, and, hopefully, we can get an electrical expert to explain all of the design flaws, etc. that might be contributing to these fires. Many, no doubt, are due to using cheap labour for installation, but not all!!
