Doctors confirm substantial increase in thyroid cancers in Sweden

Oct 27 2016 

A new scientific article from leading Swedish epidemiologist and oncologist Lennart Hardell's research team confirms that there is a substantial increase in patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer during recent years in Sweden as well as in other Nordic countries. The increase has coincided with the growing use of so called "smart phones". These popular phones expose the radiation sensitive thyroid gland to high radiation due to the antenna's placement at the lower part of the device. Another possible factor behind the increase is increased use of computed tomography in health care.

Wireless pollution 'out of control' as corporate race for 5G gears up

With the UK's Digital Economy Bill set to be finalised today, new 5G microwave spectra are about to be released across the planet without adequate safety testing, writes Lynne Wycherley. Global neglect of the Precautionary Principle is opening the way to corporate profit but placing humans and ecosystems at risk, and delaying a paradigm shift towards safer connectivity.

City Of Berkley, CA Has Adopted An Ordinance Requiring All Wireless Retailers To Post Warning On Radiation

Dr. Joel M. Moskowtiz, the Director and Principal Investigator at the Center for Family and Community Health at Berkeley School of Health, and Dr. Martin Blank of the Department of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics and Colombia University, are two out of hundreds of scientists from more than 30 countries who have produced more than 2,000 peer-reviewed articles about the hazardous effects of RF radiation. All of these scientists united together and formally signed and sent a letter to the United Nations requesting more thorough and unbiased research be performed regarding the dangers of RF radiation.

San Francisco Wireless Victory in California Court of Appeals

On September 15, 2016, the First District of the California Court of
Appeal issued its opinion in the case T-Mobile West LLC v. City and County
of San Francisco, affirming the City's authority to regulate wireless
facilities proposed for light and utility poles in its public
rights-of-way (PROW) based upon aesthetic considerations.

This is an important victory for California residents and opens the door
for other local governments across the state to implement their own
wireless permitting regimens for facilities proposed for PROW.

T-Mobile's attorneys will likely appeal the decision to the California
Supreme Court, but whether the Supreme Court will agree to accept the case
and, if it does, what its decision might be, remain open questions.

The full opinion may be accessed at the Court of Appeals website:

Cell Phones and Breast Cancer

  1. Cellphones are two-way microwave radios that should not be kept directly on the body.
  2. The soft fatty tissue of the breast readily absorbs this radiation.
  3. Case Reports are accumulating of young women with no family history getting a diagnosis of breast cancer. The tumors were unusually located directly underneath the skin where they placed their cell phones in their bra.
  4. Doctors voice this precautionary advice: Women should not store their cell phones in their bra.

Top Environmental Risk Factors for Dementia Identified

Disturbingly, Alzheimer's has reached epidemic proportions, currently affecting an estimated 5.4 million Americans.1 In the next 20 years it is projected that Alzheimer's will affect 1 in 4 Americans, rivaling the current prevalence of obesity and diabetes and by 2050, Alzheimer's diagnoses are projected to triple.2,3
 
"Dementia is known to be associated with lifestyle factors such as high blood pressure in mid-life, smoking, diabetes, obesity, depression and low educational attainment, as well as genetic factors.
 
But the Edinburgh researchers said a third of dementia risk was unexplained, and they want to determine whether other issues are at play, including the environment."
 
 
It should be noted that some of the 'lifestyle factors' are also related to EMF exposure.

Clear Sound, Sleek Styling, and Microwave Radiation?

More than a dozen studies have shown that low-intensity microwave radiation similar to that emitted by Bluetooth can open up the blood-brain barrier, a layer of cells that block pathogens and toxins in the body from reaching the brain. That could lead to conditions such as autism, dementia, and brain cancer, Moskowitz says.

Rats develop Brain and Heart Cancer from Cell Phone Radiation at below FCC limits
The $25 million US government National Toxicology Program study on cell phones showed a statistically significant increase in glioma brain cancer in rats exposed to cell phone radiation at levels BELOW FCC's thermal limits - about 3% developed brain cancer.  Rats NOT exposed to cell phone radiation did NOT develop tumors.  The rats were exposed to 1.5W/kg, 3.0W/kg, and 6.0W/kg levels of cell phone radiation, and cancer was seen at all of these levels.  http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/05/26/055699.full.pdf+html

Gliomas have shown a statistically significant increase.  Incidence rate has increased by 100% in 2010 from 1989 in the Netherlands. In the US, the increase has been 1.3%-2.3% per year over a 15-year period, which was statistically significant.  http://microwavenews.com/news-center/ntp-and-brain-tumor-rates

What are the FCC limits for cell phone and wireless devices?
Ear get hot from cell phone use or Pain in your hand from holding your cell phone?
Has your ear ever gotten hot from talking on a cordless or cell phone?  Mine has (this was before I knew I should not hold a wireless phone to my ear).  Some people have also mentioned to me that they have felt pain in their hands when holding their iphone.  A recent study published in July 2016 can explain why this is happening.  Cellphone radiation, even below government thermal limits, still produce a physiological thermal effect  that is sensed by the trigeminal neurons, even if surface skin temperature does not change. This study concluded that thermal effects from cell phone radiation are never absent even at levels below government thermal limits like the FCC limits.  You can read the full study here http://andrewamarino.com/PDFs/189-EBM2016.pdf

Video from Dr. Devra Davis of EHT. Research on effects from prenatal exposure to cell phone radiation in this 15 minute video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZicHZaUKps&feature=em-subs_digest
 3 times more DNA damage, spinal cord damage, damage to memory and thinking part of the brain (hippocampus) from only 15 minutes per day of cell phone radiation exposure for 7 days. Results were statistically significant.  The faster cells grow, the more vulnerable they are to toxic exposures.  Newborns double their brain size after birth. 
Asbestos and cigarettes are examples where a generation of people are paying the price for poor US public health policy - the insistence of absolute proof of harm before taking action, rather than taking preventive measures from the beginning.   For example, asbestos was used in baby PJ suits

EMF: Nutrition: Good Fat Bar
 
I am not a big promoter of products, especially nutritional, because I think it is very individualized, but wanted to share something new that is really helping me.

Dr. Darren Schmidt in Michigan is a very sincere healer who made a video a while ago about smart meters that many may have seen :


 
He also provided testimony for us in the smart meter hearing...(health)

He has developed a new product The Good Fat Bar and its really helping me.... brain, blood sugar level, nerves, etc. 

If you have gallbladder issues the fat may be a challenge for you, but I think this is a remarkable product for someone like me with blood sugar challenges.

Do iPhones emit more radiation than Samsung Galaxy phones?

 
According to Yonhap News Agency, Representative Choi Myung-gil who serves on the South Korean Assembly's Telecommunications Committee stated that six Apple products received a Tier 2 rating from the country's National Radio Research Agency (NRRA). In contrast, all Samsung products received a Tier 1 rating. The Tier 1 rating is awarded to mobile devices with a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) below 0.8 watts/kilogram (W/kg) whereas devices with a higher SAR are given a Tier 2 rating

Smart Meter Case Testimony Before the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission: What No One Wants to Acknowledge About EMF Damage

Part 1 of 4  By Catherine J. Frompovich

The following is the testimony I will present pro se [without a lawyer representing me] to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission's Administrative Law Court, November 2 and 3, 2016 as a result of my not permitting an AMI Smart Meter to be retrofitted on to my electric service by PECO, an Exelon Company that provides electricity and service to the suburban Philadelphia where I live.

Why Light Bulbs May Be the Next Hacker Target

They could also set an LED light into a strobe pattern that could trigger epileptic seizures or just make people very uncomfortable. It may sound far-fetched, but that possibility has already been proved by the researchers.

In creating a model of the infection process, they simulated the distribution of the lights in Paris over an area of about 40 square miles and noted that the attack would potentially spread when as few as 15,000 devices were in place over that area.

 
 

Creating a ZigBee Chain Reaction

The attack can start by plugging in a single infected bulb anywhere in the city, and then catastrophically spread everywhere within minutes, enabling the attacker to turn all the city lights on or off, permanently brick them, or exploit them in a massive DDOS attack.

Finnish Professor of Physics Talks Nonsense on Biological Effects of Cell Phone Radiation

Professor Dariusz Leszczynski explains in his blog where Ala-Nissilä has made very serious mistakes which were then published by the careless and misinformed press. 
 
The list of the false and misleading claims committed by Professor Tapio Ala-Nissilä in a short interview published in 'Voi hyvin' journal is long, as seen from the quotes.
 
 
Comment:  The mistakes made by Ala-Nissilä in the report, are so basic and stupid that one has to wonder if bribery and corruption by the wireless industry were involved.  A young child could easily find the scientific links which Ala-Nissilä has ignored on failed to find!  There could even be a concern for his mental competence?  How else could a supposedly educated person get so many facts, so wrong?
