"The electromagnetically-hypersensitive children and adults are the canary in the coal mines..."



"...that basically say, we have a problem here, it's time to address it."

From the YouTube video description:

Dr. Maret, MD - UNSAFE Cell Phone and Wireless Standards for Children

Karl Maret, M.D., M.Eng. is President of Dove Health Alliance, a non-profit foundation in Aptos, CA. He holds an M.D., Masters in Biomedical Engineering and B.S. in Electrical Engineering. As such, he is uniquely qualified to address present day concerns about the biological effects of electromagnetic fields.
Dr. Maret has presented at many international conferences, including annual presentations at the German Society for Energy and Informational Medicine for the last 10 years, and he educates physician groups on the biological impacts of communication technologies, such as cell phones, wireless technologies and infrastructure and ‘smart meters’. In this presentation, Dr. Maret addresses risks to children in WiFi classrooms, presenting case studies involving real-time, continuous dossimetry measurements, including cumulative exposures and the percentage of each school day unacceptable exposure levels occurred.
This presentation was part of an Expert Forum on Cell Phone and Wireless Risks at the Commonwealth Club of CA on June 22, 2015.

FDA ‘Ignoring The Evidence’ on Cellphones & Cancer




"A $25 million study on the effects of cellphone radiation on rats found clear evidence of tumors. But the Food and Drug Administration, which had requested the study in the first place, is casting doubt on its conclusions. RT America’s Dan Cohen has the details."

Dan Cohen then "tweeted":

"The FDA ordered the program studying the effects of cell phone radiation on humans in 1999. It's now under the leadership of industry insider, venture capitalist and former neocon think tank fellow Scott Gottlieb." Physician with drug-industry ties is Trump's FDA pick

"Before Trump appointed Gottlieb to head the FDA, he was a partner at New Enterprise Associates whose portfolio includes multiple wireless companies that would hate for the public to know about the dangers of cell phone radiation." NEA "wireless" search

"While the FDA suppresses science on cell phones causing cancer, it approves powerful opioids that it knows will kill people."

It looks like not only is the FCC a captured agency, but so may be the FDA...

The good news is, we can't fix a problem unless we shine some light on it and know what's happening.

An Open Letter to Michigan House of Representatives: Before you vote on SB 637 & SB 894, the small cell wireless infrastructure bills...

November 1, 2018

Dear Representative of the Great State of Michigan,

I hope this finds you well!

Today, November 1, 2018, the government admitted that wireless radiation can cause cancer and DNA-breaks:
Unless you are in opposition to SB 637, the small wireless communications 36-page bill with a 17-page summary, and its companion bill SB 894 (another 7 pages), before you vote, please listen to some of the expert testimonies given in opposition to these bills.

"Wireless radiation has biological effects. Period. This is no longer a subject for debate when you look at PubMed and the peer-review literature. These effects are seen in all life forms; plants, animals, insects, microbes. In humans we have clear evidence of cancer now; there is no question. We have evidence of DNA damage, cardiomyopathy, which is the precursor of congestive heart failure, neuropsychiatric effects... 5G is an untested application of a technology that we know is harmful; we know it from the science. In academics this is called human subjects research." ~ excerpts from Dr. Sharon Goldberg's October 4, 2018 testimony to the House Energy Policy Committee in opposition ti SB 637 and SB 894. Dr. Goldberg is an internal medicine physician with 21 years experience. Dr. Goldberg's entire 14 minute testimony is HERE.

The FCC and telecommunications companies refer to the FCC safety standards as protective of public health, but they aren't.  The FCC's safety standards were not developed for chronic exposure to wireless radiation, the type of exposure common today, and the type of exposure that will increase exponentially with a small cell tower / DAS tower infrastructure that SB 637 and SB 894 facilitate.  We need to be reducing our exposure to radiofrequency radiation, as Dr. Goldberg mentions, not increasing it.

"This is about radiation... The FCC is staffed by former members of the telecommunications industry.  They're effectively indemnified against adverse health impact lawsuits whenthe acceptable limits are higher than the limits actually shown to cause harmful health effects." ~ excerpt from Senator Patrick Colbeck's May 29, 2018 testimony to the House Energy Policy Committee in opposition to SB 637 and SB 894.  Senator Colbeck's entire 11 minute testimony is HERE.

Respecting our need to close the digital divide in Michigan, please consider that hard-wired (coaxial cable, telephone cable, and fiber optics) is faster, safer, more secure, more reliable, and less expensive in the long-run, than wireless technology.  Plus, hard-wired does not expose us to exponentially greater levels of radiofrequency radiation now proven to cause cancer and DNA-breaks.

As shown in the brief you have received, Policy Guidance Regarding Wireless Radiation, the bottom graph on page 8 shows how the United States, Canada, and Australia have radiofrequency radiation exposure limits 100 times higher than the majority of the rest of the world, and 10 times higher than India and Israel.

Since insurance companies in the United States consistently exclude liability coverage for electromagnetic fields (which includes the radiofrequency radiation from transmitting utility meters, "smart" meters, cell phones, cell towers, small cells, DAS towers, and all other wireless devices and equipment), I request that you introduce an amendment to SB 637 that would place liability for adverse health effects on the telecommunications companies.  If they are so sure the FCC's safety limits are protective, they would have no reason to oppose such an amendment.  

As Senator Colbeck mentioned in his May 29, 2018 testimony, SB 637 usurps your authority of Article 4, Section 51, to protect the health and safety of the citizens of Michigan.  

Some representatives may believe that because of the FCC declaratory ruling their hands are tied regarding SB 637 and SB 894.  What they may not realize is that the FCC's order represents an unprecedented federal intrusion on local control and authority, and that cities and municipalities are already filing lawsuits against the FCC.  

"I think the FCC has wildly overstepped it's limitations." ~ Michigan municipal Attorney Mike Watza  
Recognizing that my rights and the rights of every citizen of this great state are usurped by SB 637, SB 894, and the FCC declaratory ruling, you now have an opportunity to help preserve our rights and your oath of office by voting "no" on these two bills.  

From the movie Philadelphia, Andrew Beckett, who was an attorney, said, "It's that every now and again - not often, but occasionally - you get to be a part of justice being done.  That really is quite a thrill when that happens."   

You now have that opportunity to be part of justice being done by opposing SB 637 and SB 894, bills that facilitate the installations of cancer-causing, DNA-breaking wireless towers and antenna outside our children's windows.  Please choose justice for the people of Michigan.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

Jeanine Deal

Michigan Senator Patrick Colbeck Rocks It - Opposition to 5G Small Cell Legislation



May 29, 2018 | Michigan Senator Patrick Colbeck Testifies in Opposition to 5G Small Cell Tower Legislation

"This is not an issue of getting access to technology for people..."

"This is about radiation..."

"The FCC is staffed by former members of the telecommunications industry.  They're effectively indemnified against adverse health impact lawsuits when the acceptable limits are higher than the limits actually shown to cause harmful health effects."

"We're talking about carcinogenic effects due to tumors.  We're talking about issues with DNA replication... autism and other impacts..."

"The studies have also shown that the people most susceptible to these adverse health impacts are the youngest among us..."

"Our primary concerns are supposed to be the health of our citizens..."

Take Back Your Power




Take Back Your Power 2017 (Official) - smart meter documentary


"The award-winning documentary TAKE BACK YOUR POWER 2017 uncovers the shocking story behind why hundreds of local governments and millions of ratepayers are standing against the multi-billion dollar rollout of 'smart’ utility meters. Take a journey of revelation, examining evidence of in-home surveillance, hundreds of home fires and several fatalities, systemic over-billing, health risks, unprecedented hacking vulnerability, and even extortion."

"The insightful and often astounding new material in this 2017 final cut exposes the agenda behind smart meters with even more clarity. And the way to solution is also opened, as the forthcoming sequel – the InPower Movement – is introduced."

"With compelling insight from whistleblowers, government agents, lawyers, doctors, researchers and environmentalists, Josh del Sol’s TAKE BACK YOUR POWER investigates the claimed benefits and emerging risks of a profit-based global initiative that seeks to change the way we live. What you’ll discover will surprise, unsettle and ultimately empower you."

Click HERE to listen to the former Chairman of the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) talk about 5G, the 5th generation of wireless technology.  Note how he states, "We won't wait for the standards."  

The FCC "safety standards" are decades old, have been up for review, but the FCC dropped the ball on that about five years ago... though they've been pushing 5G hard and fast.

We are in a fabricated "race to 5G" which requires massive amounts of small cell towers to be installed in public rights of way, some only feet from homes, schools, businesses, and libraries - places where we spend a lot of time.  5G capable small cell towers are already being installed all over Michigan and throughout the United States with no human safety testing.

And the radiation from small cell towers is NOT small.  They have been measured to put out FIVE-times the radiation of mega-towers.  

We can sit back and do nothing about this, and be in compliance.

Or we can speak-out against small cell tower installations in public rights of way.

The choice is ours.

5G Wireless Technology: Millimeter Wave Health Effects

5G Wireless Technology: Millimeter Wave Health Effects


by Joel M. Moskowitz, Ph.D.
Director
Center for Family and Community Health
School of Public Health
University of California, Berkeley


The emergence of 5G, fifth-generation telecommunications networks, has been in the news lately because the wireless industry has been pushing controversial legislation at the state level to expedite the deployment of this technology. The legislation would block the rights of local governments and their citizens to control the installation of cellular antennas in the public “right-of-way.” Cell antennas may be installed on public utility poles every 10-20 houses in urban areas. According to the industry, as many as 50,000 new cell sites will be required in California alone. 

Although many major cities and newspapers have opposed this legislation, the potential health risks from the proliferation of new cellular antenna sites have been ignored. These cell antennas will expose the population to new sources of radio frequency radiation including MMWs.

5G will employ low- (0.6 GHz - 3.7 GHz), mid- (3.7 – 24 GHz), and high-band frequencies (24 GHz and higher). In the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has allocated “low-band” spectrum at 0.6 GHz (e.g., 600 MHz), “mid-band” spectrum in the 3.5 GHz range, and 11 GHz of “high-band” frequencies including licensed spectrum from 27.5-28.35 GHz and 37-40 GHz, as well as unlicensed spectrum from 64-71 GHz which is open to all wireless equipment manufacturers.


Prior to widespread deployment, major cell phone carriers are experimenting with new technologies that employ “high-band” frequencies in communities across the country. The “high-band” frequencies largely consist of millimeter waves (MMWs), a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths of one to ten millimeters and frequencies ranging from 30 to 300 GHz (or billions of cycles per second). 


The characteristics of MMWs are different than the “low-band” (i.e., microwave) frequencies which are currently in use by the cellular and wireless industries. MMWs can transmit large amounts of data over short distances. The transmissions can be directed into narrow beams that travel by line-of-sight and can move data at high rates (e.g., up to 10 billion bits per second) with short lags (or latencies) between transmissions. The signals are blocked by buildings, and foliage can absorb much of their energy. Also, the waves can be reflected by metallic surfaces. Although antennas can be as small as a few millimeters, “small cell” antenna arrays may consist of dozens or even hundreds of antenna elements.

What does research tell us about the biologic and health effects of millimeter waves?

Millimeter waves (MMWs) are mostly absorbed within 1 to 2 millimeters of human skin and in the surface layers of the cornea. Thus, the skin or near-surface zones of tissues are the primary targets of the radiation. Since skin contains capillaries and nerve endings, MMW bio-effects may be transmitted through molecular mechanisms by the skin or through the nervous system.
