Smartphones are causing a 'visual health crisis' in China

A major Chinese health research center recently published a white paper on the country's visual health.

According to a recent Nomura research report, the main two takeaways from the paper, from Peking University's China Center for Health Development, were that the prevalence of visual problems in China is far above the global average and that the problem is quickly getting worse.

More than a third of UK internet users have tried 'digital detox'

The scale of the UK's obsession with the internet has been laid bare by a new study showing that the ever increasing amount of time we spend online is leading to lost sleep, neglected housework and less time spent with friends and family.
 
The survey found that more than a third of people had taken a digital detox at some point in the last year – suggesting about 15 million people in the UK have tried going offline – and 11% had done so in the last week.

Spain: High Court of Madrid Ruling Recognizes "Electrosensitivity" as Grounds for Total Permanent Disability

A recent ruling by the High Court of Madrid, No. 588/2016 dated 6 July 2016 (rapporteur Mr. Miguel Moreiras Cabellero) has recognized for the first time a situation of total permanent disability for the exercise of the profession of a telecommunications engineer suffering from a rare syndrome, "electrosensitivity syndrome (EHS)", which prevents him from working in environments with electromagnetic fields. It does not recognize, however, an absolute permanent disability.

Turin is planning to cut back on Wi-Fi in state schools and government buildings over concerns that radiation might damage people's health over concerns that radiation might damage people's health.

The plans were outlined last week as the city's new new Five Star Movement (M5S) mayor, Chiara Appendino, presented her council's five-year political plan.

"We would like to take all precautions necessary and ask all public structures to work to reduce the volume of emissions and while guaranteeing connectivity for citizens."

Smart Meters and EMR: The Health Crisis of Our Time - Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt
 
Video from 2012
Dr. Klinghardt has found that excessive exposure to manmade electromagnetic fields not only causes illness, but can compromise recovery from some illnesses, including chronic Lyme disease. Studies show that microbes replicate more quickly in the presence of electromagnetic fields, and that these fields disrupt the body's energetic field in a way that comprises immune function.

Medical pioneer writes a history of environmental hypersensitivities

Eighty per cent of EMF-sensitive patients also had chemical sensitivities, says Dr William J. Rea who founded the Dallas-based, Environmental Health Center in 1974. Errors in diagnosis and treatment of diseases are common in physicians ignoring the principles of environmental medicine. They should be aware that various tests developed since the early 1980s "take the guess work out of the diagnosis" of chemical and electrical and electromagnetic hypersensitivity, writes Dr Rea in a new paper published in Reviews on Environmental Health.

No cell phones, wi-fi allowed in small W.Va. town

GREEN BANK, W.Va. (KDKA) — Would you believe there's a place where no one can use a cell phone? Where Wi-Fi is not allowed? Where even finding a radio station can be a difficult task?

There's a town in West Virginia a few hours to south of Pittsburgh where all that is true.

Green Bank is a place where you can hear nature. Where you can hear yourself think. And that's because some very important listening is going on.

French National Assembly Question published on the situation of electro-hypersensitive persons

14th legislature  Question No. 98406

Jean-Claude Buisine (Socialist, environmentalist and Republican - Somme)

Ministry questioned: Social and Health Affairs

Electromagnetic waves.

Question published in the OJ on: 02/08/2016 Page: 7052

Mr. Jean-Claude Buisine attracts the attention of Ms. Minister of Social Affairs and Health on the situation of electro-hypersensitive. Indeed, these people suffer from an allergy to the waves and electromagnetic fields. In the most serious cases, they are forced to leave home and go and live in motor homes or huts in the middle of nothing. The development of WiFi and 3G / 4G pose real health problems for some of our citizens, such as headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, or extreme fatigue, the origin of the pain symptoms to be medically recognized. Moreover, many citizens and elected officials are concerned about the effects of electromagnetic wave emissions near schools, nurseries or institutions for the elderly; others are assigned directly to their workplace due to their hyper sensitivity to the waves. Without questioning the policy for the digital coverage of the national territory, awaited in particular in rural areas, it is nevertheless important to consider the protective measures for this allergy. Therefore, he asks her to please tell him if medical research is engaged on this issue and whether the Government is considering lowering the limit values ​​for public exposure to electromagnetic waves in the country

Letter to Senator Donnelly diagnosed with a brain tumor
 
Dear Senator Donnelly, Family and Staff,

I was so sorry to learn Senator Donnelly was diagnosed with a brain tumor, but heartened to hear surgery went well.  Please know healing thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

Ellen Marks, who founded the California Brain Tumor Association, reached out to me when she heard.  

As you may know, this spring the U.S. National Toxicology Program announced partial findings from their largest ever study on cell phones and cancer.  While they went in expecting to find no correlation, they found statistically significant brain and heart cancer and alerted the public, the FCC and the FDA.  Please click here for additional information.

What most folks don't realize, however, is that all of our wireless devices -- cell phones, iPads, Chromebooks, wearables, DECT cordless phones, baby monitors, gaming systems, routers, utility "smart" meters and appliances, access points, hot spots, cell tower antennas, etc. -- all constantly emit two-way microwave radiation that thousands of peer-reviewed, non-industry funded studies from all over the world have proven to be very biologically damaging at the levels our federal government allows.  

Here in the U.S. we are slow to educate our citizens on the potential harm, nor do we provide instruction on how to use technology more safely.  Harvard University's Captured Agency report explains why.  FCC Chair Tom Wheeler's June 20, 2016 speech confirms he is more concerned with being first to market with 5G than ensuring public safety. This one-minute clip from a recent press conference doesn't instill much confidence that the public will be offered education any time soon. The fallout on our citizens, as you are experiencing, is heartbreaking.

There are solutions though.  Ashland Public Schools has become the first in the nation to begin putting precautions in place to protect our students and staff, and Senator Karen Spilka introduced on my behalf Senate Bill 1222 to bring bright minds together to form a commission and examine this issue, and hopefully put right-to-know legislation in place. The City of Berkely, CA has recently done so, and is encouraging other municipalities to follow suit.  The ruling has twice been upheld against CTIA- The Wireless Association's injunction attempts, and Harvard's Lawrence Lessig has offered to defend it pro bono to the Supreme Court for Berkeley and any other municipality that adopts it.  With deep gratitude to the MA Joint Committee on Public Health for reporting S. 1222 out favorably this past session, we are hopeful by educating more of our legislators next session the bill will pass and we can begin taking similar measures to give Massachusetts residents a right to know about safer technology practices.

For those new to the conversation, this 33-minute video of a recent briefing with the Ashland Board of Health will help to bring you up-to-speed.  Links to each of the documents referenced are given in the Comments section under the video:


Senator Donnelly, Ms. Marks' husband developed a brain tumor too after being a heavy cell phone user, as did likely Senator Ted Kennedy, Joe Biden's son and a growing list of prominent figures -- and a rising number of children.  If you, your family, or any others included in this communique, would like to reach out to Ms. Marks for support or additional information from someone who's been there, she would be honored to speak with you: cabta@ellenkmarks.com.

Please, let's band together in support of Senator Donnelly, and all of us susceptible to wireless radiation's harm, so we may become educated to hard-wire what we can and put simple precautions in place when we must use wireless technology. As Microsoft Canada's former president Frank Clegg indicated when he spoke to the Massachusetts legislature about this, the message is not "no technology" but "safe technology."

Here's wishing you a full and speedy recovery, Senator Donnelly, and to all of us the courage to fix this together.  Please let me know how I can help.

Respectfully,

Cece Doucette
Ashland, MA

Cell Tower Dangers are Deliberately Hidden - not Overblown!

Dear Editor,

This is in reply to Nicole Parton's misguided letter to the PBQ News of
Thursday, August 4, 2016. Thank you. Jerry Flynn (contact details below)

Cell Tower Dangers are Deliberately Hidden - not Overblown!

Nicole Parton's strong pro-Telus stance with respect to cell towers and her
clear dependence on her cell phone reveals that she too has been victimized
by mainstream media's sinful 40-year silence on the dangers of all wireless
technology! She, like all Canadians, has a right to know that:
.         Many studies from around the world produce similar findings:
living within 400 m of a cell tower for 10 years increases one's risk of
getting cancer 3 times, rising to about 10 times the risk for female
cancers! [1] [2]
.         In 2016, the highly respected US National Toxicology Program (NTP)
released the initial results of its 10-year $25-million study which showed
that cell phone radiation boosts cancer rates (brain tumors)! [3]
.         Since 2015, 220 of the world's leading EMF scientists from 41
counties have signed the "International EMF Scientists Appeal" addressed to
the Secretary General of the United Nations, to all UN-member countries, and
to the Director General of the World Health Organization. The Appeal urged
all addressees to "Protect mankind and wildlife from the dangers of EMF and
wireless technology"! [4]
.         In 2015, France established its own national radiation regulatory
agency and immediately banned Wi-Fi in all nursery schools across the
country, stating, in part, that for children up to 11 years of age, schools
must turn off Wi-Fi when not in use! [5]
.         In 2014, 55 Canadian doctors openly criticized Health Canada and
called on them to: "Protect Canadians from EMFs!" [6]
.         In 2014, 53 scientists from 18 countries openly criticized Safety
Code 6 and urged Health Canada to intervene in order to: "Prevent an
emerging health crisis"! [7]
Sincerely,

James G. ("Jerry") Flynn, Captain (Retired)

When the Los Angeles Times reporter contacted me for the story below, I did a quick search and found several recently published articles examining biological effects of millimeter waves (see references below). This form of microwave radiation is most likely to affect our skin and neuronal cells in the upper dermis.

Moreover, widespread adoption of 5G cellular technology in the U.S. may have profound effects on our ecosystem by altering bacteria, possibly creating harmful bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
