NCRP Pressured CDC To Remove Cell Phone Safety Advice
The NCRP was the driving force behind the removal of cautionary advice in a CDC fact sheet on cell phone use. Senior officials at the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements pressured the Centers for Disease Control into deleting the cautionary language in August 2014.

Electro Hyper Sensitivity in Switzerland

Ways exist, however, to alleviate the suffering of electrohypersensitive persons.  An intoxication by heavy metals [see text below] could be the cause in certain cases.  But according to Anton Fernhout, it is necessary to try to provide places that are less exposed to non-ionizing radiation, such as the apartment building in Zurich which is exclusively for environmentally harmed persons.  It must be noted that there exists practically no white zone in Switzerland.

SPAIN - FIRST RESCUE PLAN FOR PEOPLE WITH CSS
 
The first municipal government that has stepped forward to implement this plan, is the City of Tarragona Municipal Government (Tarragona is a major city 100 kilometres south of Barcelona). In the plenary session held last November 30th, the "Institutional Declaration of support for people with Central Sensitivity Syndromes" was approved, which consists of a concrete programme of measures. This is a historical step.
 
Central Sensitivity Syndromes (CSS) include Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS), Fibromyalgia (FM) and Electrohypersensitivity (EHS).

Wallis and Futuna: Mast spat threatens new mobile network
Homeowner Atalemo Vakamua has threatened to cut the service completely by chopping down the transmitter, which he says was installed on his land without his permission, French Overseas TV reports. "All my family met and we decided to cut down the mast," Mr Vakamua tells the TV, adding that all the other residents of his village support him.

Driverless cars get potential new testing ground in Stratford, Ont.

Stratford, a city of about 31,000 people 150 kilometres southwest of Toronto, has been quietly building a connected city over the past decade. And today, it has roads that talk to street lights, signals that talk to cars and an industrially reliable wireless network that allows all those systems to feed data back to the tech companies operating there.

Hydro One pulls plug on wonky smart meters in rural areas
 
The utility, which was ordered by its provincial masters to install the devices, admits it has decided to manually read roughly 36,000 meters instead of counting on the wireless technology.
 
Malfunctioning meters were among several issues that caused a customer relations nightmare for Hydro One in 2013 and 2014.
 
 
 
 
 
"They never thought this through," said Tabuns. "They never thought it through on the big scale and they never thought it through on the small scale."
 
 
 

Dumb meters? Dumb Liberals

It's that the cost of installing 4.6 million ended up being almost $2 billion, double what the Liberals said it would cost.
 
 
 
 
 
Nickel Belt New Democrat MPP France Gelinas said that is good news for the hundreds of residents who have appealed to her in recent years, complaining about hydro bills that were way out of whack.

Nest Thermostat Glitch Leaves Users in the Cold

The Nest Learning Thermostat is dead to me, literally. Last week, my once-beloved "smart" thermostat suffered from a mysterious software bug that drained its battery and sent our home into a chill in the middle of the night.
 
But this isn't just about the Nest. This points to a larger problem with so-called smart devices that we are inviting into our lives: Small glitches can cause huge problems.

The microwave syndrome or electro-hypersensitivity: historical background.

Microwave generating equipment first became common during World War 2 with the development of radar. Soviet bloc countries reported that individuals exposed to microwaves frequently developed headaches, fatigue, loss of appetite, sleepiness, difficulty in concentration, poor memory, emotional instability, and labile cardiovascular function, and established stringent exposure standards.

Class Action Lawsuit in Quebec Against Hydro-Quebec, Videotron, Bell, Rogers, Telus and many other defendants

Request for Financial Assistance

Considering the failure of federal, provincial and municipal levels of governement to protect the population against increasingly excessive exposure levels of microwave emissions and low frequency electromagnetic fields from powerlines, amongst other sources, there is an urgent need to establish a clear judiciary basis to claim compensations for the harm done, especially to people with electrosensitivity symptoms, and to steer the regulatory agencies towards stronger health-centered, as safe as possible exposure standards. A class action lawsuit is the best instrument to achieve this at this stage. Also, in case an out of court settlement is eventually sought by the defendants, this lawsuit, if properly undertaken, executed and supported, would also set a strong bargaining position to obtain satisfactory remedies.

But considering the formidable resources these defendants can muster to maintain the status quo that has so much benefited them so far, it is imperative that as many people as possible from the affected population pool their support to help finance this class action lawsuit. Although no additional details can be provided at this point, as per the regulations governing this form of judiciary action, regarding the specifics of this case, be assured that considerable efforts went into devising the best possible course of action to eventually achieve success, hopefully within a 5 year period once this case is certified and hearings begin.

We know our opponents will throw everything they can at us to prevent this from going ahead, yet we trust that the 1211 concerned citizens from Quebec who signed the mandate* to support Mr Charles O'Brien's effort represent only the tip of the iceberg of the support we can actually receive to help finance the considerable logistical effort required and the detailed scientific demonstration to be done by expert witnesses of the absolute validity of the claims to be submitted to the court, certainly up to the Supreme Court of Canada.

If you believe the time has come to put an end to the political and regulatory laissez faire environment that has been so detrimental to the health and peace of mind of a growing percentage of the population of Quebec, and are willing to provide financial support of any size - all contributions, small or large, will be most welcomed - please use any of the following methods to channel your support to this vital cause.

If you prefer to mail a check, please send it at Recours collectif, P.O. Box 84, St-Sauveur-des-Monts, Qc, J0R 1R0 and make your check payable to PACE inc. (which stands for Planetary Association for Clean Energy - It is a science-based organization, founded in 1975, whose expertise is recognized worldwide).

If you prefer to use your credit card or Paypal, please do so through the Donate button at http://pacenet.homestead.com

If you would rather prefer to call PACE to make your donation, you may call their office at (888) 639-7730, preferably during day time (otherwise you will need to leave your contact information on their answering machine so someone may call you back), stating that you call in the context of this request for financial support for the class action led by Mr Charles O'Brien.

A receipt for tax purpose will be provided for donations of 25$ and more. Obviously, no guarantee can be provided as to the likelihood of our success. Yet all donators will be kept informed in priority on the details and evolution of this case as soon we have secured the confirmation that the court has agreed to hear it.

I sincerely thank you for your upcoming support that will be an invaluable contribution to the eventual success of this class action lawsuit from which everyone will then greatly benefit.

NASA, Navy, Air Force Report Harmful Effects from RF Radiation.

NASA Report, 1981
A NASA report published in April 1981, titled "Electromagnetic Field Interactions with the Human Body: Observed Effects and Theories," discussed EMF and microwave RF radiation caused to humans. Effects of microwave radiation reported: headaches, sleep problems, neurological symptoms, cardiac symptoms, memory problems, increased cholesterol, gastritis, ulcers, increased fasting blood glucose, irritabiity, inability to concentrate, apprehension, and cataracts (clouding of posterior part of lens in those caused by microwave radiation instead of anterior clouding as seen with regular types).  Information for the NASA report was collected from over 1,000 written sources that "included journals, conference proceedings, technical reports, books, abstracts, and news items,"  http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19810017132.pdf

Navy Report, 1971
On October 4, 1971, the Naval Medical Research Institute published a research report,"Bibliography of Reported Biological Phenomena ('Effects') and Clinical Manifestations Attributed to Microwave and Radio-Frequency Radiation," which was a compilation of over 2000 references on the biological responses to RF microwave radiation.  It lists well over 100 negative biological effects caused by RF microwave radiation - here's a partial list from their report: corneal damage, tubular degeneration of testicles, brain heating, alteration of the diameter of blood vessels, liver enlargement, altered sex ratio of births, decreased fertility, sterility, altered fetal development, decreased lactation in nursing mothers, altered penal function, death, cranial nerve disorders, seizures, convulsions, depression, insomnia, hand tremors, chest pain, thrombosis, alteration in the rate of cellular division, anorexia, constipation, altered adrenal cortex activity, chromosome aberrations, tumors, altered orientation of animals, birds and fish, loss of hair, and sparking between dental fillings.  http://www.magdahavas.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Navy_Radiowave_Brief.pdf

Air Force Report, 1994
A June 1994 US Air Force document, titled, "Radiofrequency/Microwave Radiation Biological Effects and Safety Standards: A Review," acknowledges the non-thermal health effects.  Stated in its abstract, "It is known that electromagnetic radiation has a biological effect on human tissue."  The introduction of the report states that "researchers have discovered a number of biological dysfunctions that can occur in living organisms" and that "exposure of the human body to RF/MW [radio frequency/microwave] radiation has many biological implications" that range from "innocuous sensation of warmth to serious physiological damage to the eye," and added that "there is also evidence that RF/MW radiation can cause cancer." Biological impacts: "damage to major organs, disruption of important biological processes, and the potential risk of cancer," among many others which include "mutagenic effects," "cardiovascular effects," negative effects on chromosomes, and notes that "Soviet investigators claim that exposure to low-level radiation can induce serious CNS [central nervous system] dysfunctions."  http://www.emfacts.com/2014/09/us-air-force-rf-review-in-1988-acknowledges-non-thermal-biological-effects/   https://electroplague.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/rf-microwave-radiation-biological-effects-rome-labs.pdf

What's interesting is that these reports from US government agencies all document negative health effects from microwave RF radiation at levels below thermal thresholds, and they were all published before the 1996 Telecommunications Act was passed by Congress.  Section 704 of the TCA disallowed siting decisions for cell tower facilities based on health considerations as long as they don't exceed FCC's limits, which are thermal.  The only valid reason for rejection allowed by the TCA is aesthetics, so many cell tower facilities are camouflaged so that people would not see them. This is why cell towers are on school property and next to schools and residential areas, and you don't even know they are there.  How could this happen?  The 1996 TCA was passed after $50 million dollars in political contributions was made (p. 115, Zapped, by Ann Louise Gittleman, http://www.amazon.com/Zapped-Shouldnt-Outsmart-Electronic-Pollution/dp/0061864285/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1452930604&sr=8-2&keywords=zapped )  Since then telecom continues to obtain legislation in their favor, first with 6409a of the Middle Class Tax Relief Act which allows for colocations and approval of an additional 20' to a cell tower, then with AB 57 passing in California which allow for automatic approvals of cell tower applications if they are not processed within a certain time (150 days for new towers, 90 days for colocations) that they are submitted, and now they are lobbying to remove proof of significant gap from the 1996 TCA and replace with capacity. 

Even though doctors, scientists, and various groups have made about 1000 submissions asking the FCC to revisit limits since 2012,  little has been done by the FCC. ( Proceeding Number 13-84 on the FCC web site.   You can see the 1000 submissions here,  http://www.saferemr.com/2015_08_01_archive.html ) Tom Wheeler, ex-President of the CTIA (Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association) and FCC chairman since 2013, has done nothing but to promote the wireless industry since his appointment by President Obama after Wheeler bundled $700,000 in political contributions to Obama (bundling is a process of consolidating political contributions without having to identify the actual contributors) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/craig-aaron/who-owns-the-media-obamas_b_3313197.html  Comcast and Verizon contributed about $1 million to Obama https://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2014/04/24/obama-bundler-tom-wheeler-helps-his-former-industry-from-fcc-perch/ He approved $5 billion for school Wi-Fi  http://www.dailydot.com/politics/fcc-approves-wifi-expansion-schools/ , fined wireless companies paltry amounts ($50,000) for exceeding FCC's thermal limits http://www.journalinquirer.com/connecticut_and_region/fcc-keeps-secret-records-from-radiation-probe-at-verizon-s/article_0dbb367e-62d9-11e5-99da-ebeab2025003.html, and made changes to the Telecom Act to encompass wireless internet in March 2015 (after Net Neutrality passed) when wireless internet was not included in the 1996 TCA prior to that.  Tom Wheeler is now helping Verizon to implement 5G https://insidetowers.com/verizon-and-fcc-work-on-5g/   and pushing higher speeds by fining AT&T a record $100 million in June 2015 for not providing speeds as fast as advertised http://finance.yahoo.com/news/fcc-seeks-100-mn-t-fine-over-unlimited-174431152.html   

Cell towers, cell phones, Wi-Fi, laptops may all be FCC compliant, but understand that FCC compliance only means that there is not enough microwave radiation from it to cook you (i.e. cause a thermal effect).  FCC limits do NOT protect you from all health effects that are orders of magnitude below the thermal threshholds as found in peer reviewed studies.  FCC compliance is limited only to preventing heating effects.  The FCC limit is 1000uW/cm2 for 30 minutes for cell towers and Wi-Fi.  In areas near cell towers and Wi-Fi routers, my measurements show 0.1-1 uW/cm2.  However in areas more than 1500 ft from cell towers and without Wi-Fi routers closeby that value can be down to 0.0003uW/cm2 as it is in my backyard.  So when 3rd party RF measuring firms submit a report that says a cell tower facility or school environment is FCC compliant because it is only 1/10,000th of the FCC limit, it is true, sounds good and gives the layperson a sense of safety, but he does not realize that this value that is 1/10,000 of the FCC limit is already 1000 times higher than areas far away from a cell tower or router, and this is a chronic exposure 6 hrs/day, 5 days/wk, 40 wks/yr for kids in school.  Realize that this is the "safety" standard which our government is using to protect our children and all citizens.

Lesson from History of Tobacco
The tobacco industry knew since the '50s that tobacco caused cancer. But they funded scientific research that was intended to obfuscate its effects on health for decades. This has been done by, on the one hand denying the existing evidence, whilst on the other demanding absolute proof of causation and calling for more research. This research, much of which has been covertly funded by the tobacco industry, is designed to look at other causes of cancer and to water down the evidence linking smoking and disease. For example, the industry statements are peppered by fudging comments such as "unresolved" and "inconclusive.," Nothing has been "statistically proven", no "scientific causality", and no "conclusive proof". http://cebp.aacrjournals.org/content/16/... http://www.who.int/tobacco/media/en/Toba... Sound familiar? 

The mobile telecom industry is about twice the size of the tobacco industry, which means the telecom industry is even more powerful.  The tobacco industry generated sales of $500 billion globally and $35 billion profit in 2012 http://www.theguardian.com/business/2012...  The mobile telecom industry has generated almost $1 trillion revenue globally. http://www.vodafone.com/content/annualre... 
In 1985, Dr Lennart Hardell, was one of the few scientists who said that Agent Orange was carcinogenic while Monsanto denied such claims  http://www.theguardian.com/science/2006/... (In 2013, Agent Orange (made by Monsanto) was determined to increase chance of prostate cancer by 52%. Veterans from the Vietnam War were exposed to it. Agent Orange was used to spray large areas in Laos and Vietnam to clear forests in order to build bases. One million Vietnamese suffered disabilities or health problems as well as birth defects in children. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/05/1... ) He is an oncologist and professor of oncology from Sweden who served on WHO IARC (World Health Organization Int'l Agency Research for Cancer) when it classified microwave RF radiation as 2B possible carcinogen in 2011.

Past Congressional Corruption Jeopardizes American Health Today

Technology, aerospace, and telecommunications corporations are all rushing to saturate the planet with microwave radiation—a class 2B carcinogen. Microwave radiation is the invisible platform that allows modern wireless devices, including cellphones and WiFi to communicate. Microwave (MW) radiation is part of the radio frequency (RF) portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

A citizen action group—Global Union Against Radiation Deployment from Space (GUARDS)—contends that these projects, which include projects by SpaceX, Facebook, and Google's Project Loon, violate important human rights conventions due to the serious biological effects and involuntary nature of exposures.

Projects to launch and replace thousands of satellites to provide worldwide Internet service will blanket the earth with harmful pulsed microwave radiation, destroy ozone and worsen climate change due to the emission of black soot from so many rockets. Combined with the detrimental environmental effects RF radiation has on both flora and fauna, including bees, these global wireless projects are predicted lead to environmental devastation and even widespread starvation.

RF radiation limits are now the sole responsibility of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is the subject of a recent report published by Harvard University's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics—Captured Agency: How the Federal Communications Commission Is Dominated by the Industries It Presumably Regulates by Norm Alster. On February 7, 2014, in reference to these very RF radiation limits, the U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) stated, "the electromagnetic radiation standards used by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) continue to be based on thermal heating, a criterion now nearly 30 years out of date and inapplicable today." This is unfortunate for the American public, but not surprising, since the FCC is not a health and safety agency and has no in-house personnel qualified to research and set RF radiation safety limits.

In 1993, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wrote a scathing criticism of the FCC's proposed RF/MW radiation limits . In June 1995, the EPA announced to the FCC that it would be releasing its own RF/MW radiation safety limits in early 1996. An internal EPA memorandum regarding a meeting with the FCC and the NTIA makes it clear that the EPA was also initiating a process to develop initial regulations pertaining to chronic RF/MW radiation exposures and non-thermal RF/MW radiation effects within a two-year time frame. But, after industry lobbying, on September 13, 1995 the EPA Radiation Division that drafted the regulations was de-funded by the Senate Appropriations Committee, which also wrote, "The Committee believes EPA should not engage in EMF activities".

In 1996, telecom industry lobbyists succeeded in getting The 1996 Telecommunications Act passed. This Act prohibited states, municipalities and citizens from objecting to the placement and construction of wireless communications facilities (antennas) for reasons of health or the environment and assigned the FCC to be the sole regulator of "safety" related to wireless RF/MW radiation-emitting technology.

"It is time for Congress to take their responsibility to protect the health and environmental security of Americans seriously and to put the EPA in charge of setting RF radiation safety limits that will truly protect the American public. Congress must stop these dangerous projects that intend to irradiate the entire continent with RF radiation before they start. Non-wireless Internet and communication technologies are available and can always be improve." said Marcey Kliparchuk a spokesperson for GUARDS.

In the years since the EPA was prevented from developing biologically-based RF radiation exposure limits, millions of Americans have begun to experience effects that are well documented in the medical literature to result from exposure to radiation emitted by wireless technology—including headache, sleepiness, cognitive impairment, fatigue, depression, anxiety, facial flushing, skin rash, asthma, cardiac arrhythmia, easy bruising, infertility, insomnia, neurological disease and cancers (breast, lung, brain, lymphoma, leukemia, melanoma, and others).

In the culmination of a process begun in 1999, The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences finally contracted in August 2005 to have toxicology research performed to assess the cancer risk and other biological effects of wireless radiation in lab animals. The results have still not been released years after completion of the research.

Over 200 scientists researching the biological and health effects of exposure to radiation from wireless devices and other sources of EMF have submitted a formal Appeal to the United Nations because "Numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plant and animal life."

GUARDS is an international coalition of diverse groups that have joined together in order to stop the implementation of global WiFi from space, which threatens all life on earth.

Dear Sir or Madam,
 
Please read the press release below.
 
Eight companies are planning to launch more than 11,000 satellites for global WiFi coverage - a microwave radiation based technology. An action group composed of citizens worldwide—Global Union Against Radiation Deployment from Space (GUARDS)— contends that these projects, which include projects by SpaceX, Facebook, and Google's Project Loon, violate important human rights conventions due to the serious detrimental biological effects and non-consenting exposures which will result. This global union contends that decades of congressional corruption has resulted in a lack of protections to the public.  
 
Thank you for your attention to this important issue,

Next step: file Informal Objections

 

Number of Informal Objections filed at the FCC OET as of today at 3:30 pm PST -- 2

 

The OET may decide Google's application this week. Nnake Nweke, the head of OET Experimental License division, said filers are on the honor system as far as environmental impact, and there is no further investigation on experimental projects unless staff raises an issue, or unless issues are raised by informal objections. The FCC must be flooded with informal objections containing documentation and even personal stories as soon as possible to stand any hope of an open public process.

https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/index.cfm     General information, PDF information

https://apps.fcc.gov/els/PleadingsWelcome.do      Filing informal objection

 

Google's application # is 0747-EX-PL-2015

 

Documents have to be converted to PDFs to submit. The FCC has two free online services that will do it, if you don't have that ability.

 

It looks like comments can be submitted anonymously. I saw no place to put any personal information prior to filing, though the FCC will have the ISP of the computer it is sent from. Saving the document to a thumb drive and downloading it from there to the website, rather than from a hard drive, is another layer of security.

 

While filing, it would also be wise to file an objection to the Space X satellite project – # 0356-EX-PL-2015

 

Both of the filings by GUARDS are on the www.stopglobalwifi.org site.

 

Suggestion: send a copy to Department of Interior.

Unplug: How to Survive and Thrive in a Wi-Fi World Gone Wild

 
Sam got a job as marketing analyst. He would sit at a typewriter all day writing marketing reports. Then one day there was a buzz in the office. The company was looking to modernize and invest in a computer system. Before long he was saying goodbye to his faithful typewriter and hello to his own computer. At first Sam felt invigorated and empowered, being able to insert, replace words and shift paragraphs around. But then he soon realized he was beginning to feel abnormally tired and his thinking had become clouded.

Fortunately Jacqueline came into Sam's life. Aside from adding excitement to his personal life, Jacqueline was also a chiropractor and introduced him to the rejuvenating power of chiropractic medicine. They decided to get married and moved out of their respective apartments into a spacious house which they transformed into a living/working environment. Packed with computers and office equipment their office had the "look and feel of the Starship Entreprise." But they took many steps to make the house a healthy and supportive environment.

The house overlooked a landscaped backyard with maple trees. Big windows provided much natural light, which were supplemented with full-spectrum lighting. A reverse osmosis system provided drinking water. They even had an environmental consultant come to evaluate air quality and install filters and a Feng Shui consultant optimized the energy flows.

Sam's career had migrated into coaching and Jacqueline was busy treating patients and teaching healthcare seminars around the country. Sam began to feel more and more exhausted, he suffered pains in his chest and chronic fatigue. In a bid to regain his health he decided to change his routine, taking more time for himself and spending more time in nature.

Jacqueline practiced her chiropractic procedures to help Sam but then she started experiencing her own health problems. She would suddenly end up spending a day in bed. These physical ailments were accompanied by bouts of depression. In 2010 Jacqueline's health challenges accelerated and sadly in 2010 she passed away.

Sam was left feeling numb. The love of his life had been taken away. Then one day he was sat in home office and a book in a bright orange dust jacket caught his eye, Zapped. He became captivated and felt he could hear Jacqueline's voice encouraging him to read the book. It told the story of the author of the book, Louise Gittleman, who had for a long time been troubled by a variety of baffling health issues, then one day she was diagnosed with a benign tumor of the parotid, a salivary gland located below the ear. She eventually put 2 and 2 together and realized that her tumor was linked to her use of a cell phone and the other seemingly harmless electrical devices she was using in her job as a writer.

Sam devoured the Gittleman book, cover to cover, and promptly set about making changing in his own life to deal with his electromagnetic field (EMF) exposures. This led him to write his own book, Unplug – How To Survive And Thrive In A WiFi World Gone Wild. Sam Weider explains, "Whether you are opening your refrigerator door or typing away at your computer keyboard your body absorbs that field like a paper towel soaks up water."

He overviews the mounting volume of evidence of adverse health effects due to EMF exposures; DNA damage, assault to the blood brain barrier, inflammatory diseases, learning disabilities, decreased fertility, melatonin suppression and weakened immune system, a decrease in insulin/increase in blood sugar.

This book looks at the faulty beliefs and notions that keep us from seeing and acknowledging the truth about the dangers of EMFs. One of the biggest blocks is that people are simply addicted to their electrical gadgets so they convince themselves they can't be bad for them. Or they reason, 'EMF's are everywhere, you can't escape them so why bother?' Another line of faulty reasoning is 'EMF's don't seem to bother me, so why worry.' The problem is when your overall health starts to fade, unless you're able to make a direct link with a certain kind of exposure, your cell phone, or your WiFi how could you possibly know the culprit was the EMF's?

About half of the book is devoted to explaining how you can protect yourself from EMF's. It provides guidance on:
– creating a low EMF living environment
– how to de-stress your bedroom
– how to make smart choices for low EMF lighting
– how to make your office a safer place to work

Sam also explains how he dealt with the EMF's in his own environment and how he enrolled an EMF consultant to help him with this. He realized that some of his symptoms were brought on when he stood bare foot or in stocking feet in certain rooms. His EMF consultant identified the problem as a grounding issue on his under floor heating.

Is This Book For You? What I particularly like is the honesty of Sam's approach. Reading between the lines it was the loss of his wife in 2010 that spurred Sam to write the book and 'tell it like it is.' My heart goes out to you, Sam, on the loss of your wife, but well done on turning that situation 'round and using it as an opportunity to write a book to help people.

If you're discovering EMF's for the first time, or you have a friend or family member you'd like to open their eyes about these dangers, this book is an excellent introduction. It's very easy to read and it's crammed full of practical tips on how to deal with EMF's. If you're already well versed in the dangers of EMF's it's nevertheless an engaging read and there's sure to be something some EMF nuggets that you'd not heard of before.

Acoustic sound engineer hanged himself after fearing he would lose his job when he developed chronic tinnitus 

The 43-year-old, of Reading, Berkshire, became extremely anxious about the ringing in his ears and refused to take medication to calm his mood for fear it would exacerbate the tinnitus. 
 
Senior coroner for Berkshire Peter Bedford was told Dr Lawson had gone to see his GP in June reporting hearing problems, stress and sleeping problems.
 
 
 
Comment to the story -
 
"Senior coroner for Berkshire Peter Bedford was told Dr Lawson had gone to see his GP in June reporting hearing problems, stress and sleeping problems".
 
Tinnitus, sleeping problems and depression are all well known, well researched symptoms of exposure to microwave radiation.  His doctor should have been aware of this!
 
Wi Fi, cordless telephones, mobile phones, antennas and other wireless devices should be considered as probable causes for his tinnitus and depression and a plausible causation factor in this tragic death.  The coroner has a duty to consider this and has a duty to warn others about the dangers, to save further lives.
 
I also suffer from tinnitus.  The terrible noise I hear is much worse when I am being exposed to wireless radiation, and much better when I am in a low wireless radiation environment.
 
See - www.bioinitiative.org for scientific information about the many adverse health effects of wireless radiation.

Exposing scientists' flaws

Last week, a joint effort by 270 researchers including LeBel fired a broadside at the field of psychological research. The team replicated experiments used to produce 100 studies in leading journals and fewer than half produced the evidence the authors had claimed - a finding published in the world-leading journal Science and reported in headlines around the world
 
 
On his website psychdisclosure. org, LeBel asks scientists to reveal all evidence and methods and not just what is published in journals.
 
 
He has also created a second website, Curatescience. org, where scientists are encouraged to publish replication studies and link them to the originals.

Finnish education professor's warning: Wireless technology in schools may lead to a global epidemic of brain damages.
 
Professor Rainer Nyberg changed his opinion of wireless technology in March 2013. At that time he had been lecturing in Finland and Sweden for many years and had written books about the uses and benefits of online learning. In this interview, for TV-Finland's Channel, he explains how he found out about the health risks directly linked to wireless emissions from the technology he had assumed would only have positive effects.

I gave my students iPads. They stopped talking to each other.

They need to talk and listen and talk some more at school, both with peers and with adults who can model conversation skills.

The iPads subtly undermined that important work. My lively little kids stopped talking and adopted the bent-neck, plugged-in posture of tap, tap, swipe.

The truth about mobile phone and wireless radiation

This is well worth watching - lots of well-presented up-to-date information. On 30th November 2015, the Dean's Lecture at the University of Melbourne was given by Professor Devra Davis based around the question "What are the health effects of mobile phones and wireless radiation?". Epidemiologist and electromagnetic radiation health-effects expert, Dr Davis, outlines the evolution of the mobile phone and smartphone and provides a background to the current 19 year old radiation safety standards (SAR), policy developments and international legislation.

How Radio Waves Make You Sicker

At the 5th International Symposium on the "Interaction of Nervous and Immune Systems in Health and Disease" in St Petersburg, Russia, on 26 June 2015, Prof. Trevor Marshall described two simple experiments which demonstrate that many patients with chronic disease also exhibit an Electromagnetic Hyper-Sensitivity (EHS), which makes their disease symptoms worse. The experiments are easily replicated, and the Autoimmunity Research Foundation is making available equipment to speed that process. The US CDC estimates that half of all US adults suffer from a chronic disease, potentially making EHS a major Public Health priority.
