Polarization: A Key Difference between Man-made and Natural Electromagnetic Fields, in regard to Biological Activity
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.
 
 
A very important new research paper which helps to explain why some people suffer electro hypersensitivity and others suffer long term adverse health effects when exposed to electro magnetic fields.

Tinnitus and cell phones: the role of electromagnetic radiofrequency radiation

EMRFR can penetrate exposed tissues and safety exposure levels have been established. These waves provoke proved thermogenic effects and potential biological and genotoxic effects. Some individuals are more sensitive to electromagnetic exposure (electrosensitivity), and thus, present earlier symptoms. There may be a common pathophysiology between this electrosensitivity and tinnitus.

Microwave frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) produce widespread neuropsychiatric effects including depression

Highlights

Microwave EMFs activate voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs) concentrated in the brain.
Animal studies show such low level MWV EMFs have diverse high impacts in the brain.
VGCC activity causes widespread neuropsychiatric effects in humans (genetic studies).
26 studies have EMFs assoc. with neuropsychiatric effects; 5 criteria show causality.
MWV EMFs cause at least 13 neuropsychiatric effects including depression in humans.

This page includes 2 video links, one of a DTE power shut-off to a 92 yr old woman and the other re: the new House Bill, 4916, Meter Choice being introduced:
Has DTE Energy become a corrupt or unlawful organization?
 
It would appear that their moral compass has become so twisted that they cannot see their own harmful and disgraceful actions.
 
They claim that they want to be the best operated energy company in North America, yet they are willing to cut off electricity to a 92 year old disabled lady because she refuses to have a dangerous meter that is likely to cause her serious health harm, if it is installed on her house.
 
DTE Energy has been negligent to not examine all the evidence showing harm and dangers that so called 'smart meters' have caused throughout the USA, Canada, Australia and other places wherever they have been installed.
 
With the knowledge that is easily available to them, they should not be installing these harmful and dangerous devices anywhere, especially on the homes of elderly persons with serious health issues and they certainly should not be trying to make life harder or endanger the lives of their own customers!
 
Shame on the people who are making these wrongful decisions!

Saskatoon smart meters pose no safety threats: city  ???

 
 
Comment to newspaper -
 
Smart Meters - which emit strong bursts of microwave radiation are not safe.

Wherever they have been installed throughout North America and Australia, the radiation they emit, has caused customers to become sick. Many people have had to leave their homes. Groups have been formed to fight them in many jurisdictions and power companies have ignored the harm they are causing.

Saskatoon Light and Power is being negligent to ignore all the evidence which shows that smart meter wireless emissions are harmful.

Citizens need to study the adverse health effects of wireless radiation which include various cancers, heart problems and neurological effects.

This site - www.bioinitiative.org explains the scientific evidence of this harm.
Another place to learn more about the dangers and weaknesses of smart meters is - http://stopsmartmeters.org/ .

You will soon learn that these devices should not be attached to houses and should not be on electrical systems. They are not safe.

SMUD smart meter burn out causes electrical failure & fire hazard

Margie asked the board, "If SMUD's smart meter is so smart why didn't it send SMUD a warning message that there was a very dangerous electrical failure going on at my house? Was SMUD going to wait for the fire department to send you a report in the mail?"

Consumer Reports issues cell phone safety recommendations

Consumer Reports (CR) published an article today entitled, "Does Cell-Phone Radiation Cause Cancer?"

In the article, CR advises cell phone users take safety precautions, government strengthen cell phone radiation regulations, and manufacturers prominently display "steps that cell-phone users can take to reduce exposure to cell-phone radiation."

CR discusses the positions of the International EMF Scientist Appeal, the Berkeley cell phone ordinance, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the FDA and the FCC on cell phone cancer risks.

After a review of the animal and human studies, CR has issued precautionary health warnings about cell phone use and makes several policy recommendations to the Federal Communications Commission and to cell phone manufacturers:

• "The Federal Communications Commission's cell-phone radiation test is based on the devices' possible effect on large adults, though research suggests that children's thinner skulls mean they may absorb more radiation.

• Consumer Reports agrees with concerns raised by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Government Accountability Office about the tests, and thinks that new tests should be developed that take into account the potential vulnerability of children.

• We think that cell-phone manufacturers should prominently display advice on steps that cell-phone users can take to reduce exposure to cell-phone radiation."

A summary of the article is available on my Electromagnetic Radiation web site along with summaries of CR's past coverage about the health risks from cell phone use at http://bit.ly/CRcellphonehistory.

First US Public School District Limits Wi-Fi Radiation Exposure to Students and Staff

Ashland, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/28/2015 -- Based on its own review of the matter, the Ashland Public School District is reducing wireless radiation exposures to children by instituting district wide "best practices for mobile devices". Spurred by parent Cecelia Doucette's concerns about the lack of safety data on Wi-Fi and children, the district investigated the issue and developed a policy to substantially reduce wireless exposures to students and staff. Doucette not only brought the issue to the district's attention, but then also worked with state legislatures who introduced two bills concerning electromagnetic radiation this session. The Environmental Health Trust submitted written testimony on MA Senate Bill 1222 after expert scientists presented information on wireless health risks at a briefing at the Massachusetts State House in June 2015.

ELECTRO HYPER-SENSITIVITY (EHS): IS IT REAL? DOES IT EXIST?

The implications of non-linear biological oscillations on human electrophysiology for electrohypersensitivity (EHS) and multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS)
Electrohypersensitivity can be caused by successive assaults on human bioelectrochemical dynamics from exogenous electromagnetic fields (EMF) and RFR or a single acute exposure. Once sensitized, further exposures are widely reported to cause reactivity to lower and lower intensities of EMF/RFR, at which point thousand-fold lower levels can cause adverse health impacts to the electrosensitive person
 
 
 
 
------------------------------------------------------
 
 

Electromagnetic hypersensitivity - an increasing challenge to the medical profession.

It seems necessary to give an International Classification of Diseases to EHS to get it accepted as EMF-related health problems. The increasing exposure to RF-EMF in schools is of great concern and needs better attention. Longer-term health effects are unknown. Parents, teachers, and school boards have the responsibility to protect children from unnecessary exposure.
