Connecting the dots, er, radio waves

It wasn't that long ago we were told that cell phone radiation does affect sperm count:

• Great balls of fire! Mobile phones are ‘cooking’ men’s sperm
• Low frequency electromagnetic fields long-term exposure effects on testicular histology, sperm quality and testosterone levels of male rats

Now we're being told that cell phone radiation likely causes some types of cancers as well:

• Does Cell Phone Radiation Cause Cancer?
• Cell Phone Radiation Causes Cancer, New Report Says
• How Might Cell Phone Signals Cause Cancer? - Scientific American
• Cell Phone Study Confirms Cancer | The BioInitiative Report

Since cell phone radiation does cook sperm, why couldn't it cook brain and other cells also?  Makes sense.

Did you know that cell phones and smart meters operate on the same frequency?

Since smart meters (AMI & AMR) operate on the same frequency as cell phones, and cell phones cook sperm and possibly brain and other cells, then smart meters possibly cook sperm, brain and other cells also, right?  

Food for thought, while we still have some un-cooked brain cells left.

New AMR ERT Public Utility Meters: Not-So Smart

New AMR ERT public utility meters (natural gas meters) are not called "smart meters," yet they do pulse microwave radiofrequency radiation, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, non-stop, just like so-called electric and water (AMI) "smart meters."  AMR meters also create what's called "electrical pollution" or "dirty electricity" that has been linked to adverse health effects.  

When we asked the Regional Operation Manager of SEMCO Energy (our natural gas provider) why the new AMR meters pulsed over 600 times per hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, he did not know.

When we asked him where the pulses transmit to, he did not know.  

And when we asked how SEMCO was getting around the State and Federal laws that prohibit a radio transmitting devise to be installed on private property without the property owner's knowledge and consent, he didn't know that either, but said he would check with their legal department and get back with us.  That was several weeks ago, and we still haven't heard back from him.

New AMR ERT natural gas utility meters destroyed my health, beginning with pain in my cell phone ear that I had not felt in about two years.  My symptoms did not stop there.  I experienced a plethora of odd and debilitating symptoms, until we shielded the meters, wrapping them in lead, and began turning off electric breakers at night, so to sleep in an environment of reduced electrical pollution.  Slowly, I've been reclaiming my health.

In Michigan, we are trying to get legislation passed that will give every utility customer the choice to keep safe and time-tested analog utility meters, without having to pay extra.  If you live in Michigan, please contact your State Representative and ask for their support of House Bill 4916.  Thank you!

Agreeing to Disagree

My general public comment to the City of Battle Creek City Commissioners on Tuesday, June 21, 2016, went as follows:

I met a retired police officer, now a security guard at our State Capitol in Lansing, who advised me that Chief Blocker (the Battle Creek Chief of Police) could help keep unsafe smart meters (AMI and AMR ERT meters) off our homes.  I hope that is true!

Battle Creek seems to be having a hard time calling new public utility meters "smart meters," as evidenced by this March story:  Water Division on schedule with new device installation.  Nowhere in the article is the word "smart" used.

This chart (above) shows that smart meters and cell phones operate in the same range, 900MHz to 2.4GHz.

Perry Hart, Director of Public Works here is Battle Creek has confirmed that the smart meters they are installing for water service operate within this frequency as well.  (See page 9 here.)  He also explained how the new water meters pulse 257 times per hour, non-stop.  (Mr. Hart's presentation explained how the new water meters pulse every 14 seconds, which translates to 257 times per hour.)

Unlike cell phones, which can be turned off, smart meters are never "off,' which is why radiation expert Daniel Hirsch says one smart meter may be like being exposed to 50 or more cell phones.

We haven't heard it from the Battle Creek Enquirer, yet, but there's been lots of news stories about a new study that links cell phone use to cancer:

Scientific American:  Major cell phone radiation study reignites cancer questions
Physics Today:  Wall Street Journal trumpets "explosive finding" on cell phones and cancer
TIME:  Cell phone-cancer link seen in rat study
WNCN in Raleigh, NC:  Doctor says cell phone use linked to cancer in rats
Oxford University Press:  US government's premiere test program finds cancer risk from cell phone radiation: a game-changing global wake-up call

Children are more vulnerable to cell phone and smart meter radiation because their skulls are thinner and smaller, allowing the radiation to penetrate deeper into tissues.

Both Commissioner Sherzer and Commissioner Gray have said to me that we need to agree to disagree on this issue.

When I agree to disagree with you, my decision basically only affects me.

When you (the City Commissioners of Battle Creek) agree to disagree with me, your decision affects every man, woman, and child in Battle Creek.

House Bill 4916 (the Utility Meter Choice Bill in Michigan) has fourteen co-sponsors in Lansing, both Democrats and Republicans.  Please support this potentially live-saving legislation.

New Public Utility Meters

The radiation from smart meters has been compared to the radiation from cell phones.

Sometimes called smart meters, or digital meters, or advanced meters, or AMR meters, or AMI meters, or AMR ERT meters; new public utility meters have been given lots of names, and there may even be more.  Other than what they are called, they all, except one, have at least one thing in common.  They transmit data, usually hundreds of times per hour via pulses of radiofrequency radiation in the microwave range.

Opt-out meters are the only ones that are not supposed to transmit, though sometimes they do (see first link below).

In 2013 I found out that cell phones hurt my ear, so I stopped putting a cell phone to my ear.  The pain went away until AMR ERT meters were installed where I live.  AMR ERT meters transmit over 600 time per hour, non-stop, per our natural gas company.

In 2015 I found out that AMR ERT meters hurt my ear also.  Why would AMR utility meters hurt my ear?  That's when my research into new public utility meters began.  I found the chart above, plus doctors, scientists and engineers saying that man-made pulsed radiofrequency radiation is particularly harmful to human health.

But of course, these are "fringe" doctors, scientists and engineers.  "Fringe" doctors are now saying that cell phones may be linked to cancer.  And "fringe" doctors also first started warning us about cigarette smoking years ago.  They were right.  Are they right again?

If indeed cell phones are linked to cancer, take a look at the above chart.  Where do you draw the cancer line between cell phones and smart meters?

Smart Meters & Denial

To the City Commissioners of Battle Creek, on Tuesday, June 7, 2016, I said:

I am one who became very sick from pulsed microwave radiation.  My symptoms began before knowing that radiation emitting public utility meters had been installed. 

Since connecting my symptoms with the radiation emitting public utility meters, I've been researching this subject. 

I've seen 100's of video testimonies of perhaps 1000's of people, from New York state to California, and many points in-between, and it's so interesting, because we don't know each other, but we are all saying the same or similar things, to people like you: city commissions, state governments, public utility commissions. 

I'm not the only one to experience a plethora of symptoms, the most common being: Insomnia, heart palpitations, anxiety and stress, unusual headaches, rashes, muscle cramps and twitches, extreme fatigue, balance problems and other neurological issues. 

And I'm not the only one who began to improve after radiation emitting public utility meters were either removed, or shielded. 

I'm not the only one to ask for proof of safety or data results from human safety testing with pulsed microwave radiation emitting public utility meters, to no avail from people like you. 

I'm not the only one to quote valiant doctors, medical professionals, scientists, engineers, electricians, and other professionals who are the first in the world to speak out against all of this wireless radiation we've suddenly been exposed to. 

I'm not the only one to ask for a halt to smart meter installations based upon not only my experience, but 1000's of published peer-reviewed studies that prove biological harm is being done by the pulsed microwave radiation from new public utility meters. 

And unfortunately, and astonishingly, you are not the only ones to take little or no meaningful action in response to requests from people like me.

During Commission Comments, Commissioner Gray once again brought up documentation the City of Battle Creek has regarding smart meters.  The City Manager indicated they had already provided everything they have.  Everything they have does not include human safety testing with smart meters, or any actual safety testing, at all.

After the Commission meeting, Commissioner Gray was walking by me, so I stopped her and told her that all the information the City had forwarded to me was inconclusive, and that there has been no human safety testing done with smart meters.

Her response was something about agreeing to disagree.

The above video is from the December 2, 2014 Michigan Oversight Committee Hearing on smart meters, and was apparently the last time public testimony about health complaints from smart meters was allowed in Michigan.  About 200 people spoke against smart meters at this one hearing, most of them citing health complaints that began after smart meter installation.

The woman who begins speaking at about 9 minutes in had a very similar experience as myself and countless others, not just in the United States, but from all over the world.  Many people worldwide are talking about negative health experiences after smart meter installation.

If you only listen to a few minutes of the above video, I suggest listening to the woman who starts speaking at about 40 minutes in, Cynthia Edwards, who quotes Linda Kurtz from the Smart Meter Education Network in Michigan.  Linda has spoken with numerous people regarding health effects from smart meters, and we're all saying the same, or very similar things.  Yet utility companies continue to install smart meters, or shut-off power, water, or natural gas if we don't want their smart meter or their unsafe opt-out meter.

Smart meters add to unnecessary non-ionizing microwave radiofrequency radiation in our environment.  We have not gone one generation with this level of man-made radiation, which is why it seems to me that health impacts people are experiencing right now need to be recognized if we are to avoid a potential health crisis.

Remember, it was "fringe" doctors who first started saying that cigarette smoking may be harmful to health.  Now there are "fringe" doctors, scientists, engineers, and other professionals warning us about adverse health impacts from wireless radiation.  How long will we stay in denial about it?

"A world that recognizes the value of every single life is a world coming out of denial."
