What Can We Do?
➢ Do nothing, keep vigilant for signs/symptoms.
➢ Do not use bedroom adjacent to broadcasting meters (consider bed canopy)
➢ Ask Utility whether a safer ‘opt-out’ meter is available, aim for not radiating
➢ Ask Utility whether they can relocate any broadcast antenna
➢ Ask Utility if you can upload a monthly photo of reading
➢ Surround/redirect/shield antennas to protect living space
➢ Consider weaning from natural gas use, thus no gas meter
➢ Consider drilling a well, thus no water meter
➢ Move electric meter to pedestal in the yard (facing away)
➢ Reduce ‘dirty electricity’ exposure from main electrical service (gas and water
meters don’t connect to house’s wiring) UNFORTUNATELY – For Apartment Dwellers, there are fewer options, bank of meters
➢ Public engage

Lake Tahoe fights telecom

blogmeister 5G , , , , ,

Great research on the effects of wireless. They are fighting cell towers and small cell installations.

The Lake Tahoe Region faces severe scenic and environmental degradation thanks to profit-hungry telecom companies.

If successful, our lawsuit will prevent hundreds of cell towers and wireless antennas from being installed and destroying Lake Tahoe’s pristine ecosystem. Luckily, a safe and environmentally-friendly solution to wireless broadband already exists — fiber optic networks.

This will be a landmark lawsuit so if successful will be a model for other towns. Here is the link to their research. https://www.tahoeforsafertech.org/science

If you love bees and trees – hate 5G!

blogmeister Uncategorized , , , , , , , , , , , ,

This is important for you to be aware of. Utilities are putting up 5G radiofrequency units on poles throughout the world and even President Trump wants to see it rolled out all over the USA. While you may think this will help your connectivity, it has been shown not to be that beneficial over 4G and there are numerous safer alternatives to supply service in remote areas. We don’t need an ugly group of hundred-pound units on the top of every so many poles on our street. Plus the radio-frequencies have proven to have a negative effect on not only our health but the health of nearby trees, birds and bees.

Currently, 5G technology is effective only over short distances and doesn’t penetrate through solids—requiring numerous antennae with unobstructed paths between transmitters and receivers. Wireless antennas emit microwaves – non-ionizing radiofrequency radiation – and essentially function as cell towers. Each installation can have over a thousand antennas that are transmitting simultaneously. They increase electromagnetic radiation near homes. Property values drop after a cell tower is built near homes and this ugly units will do nothing for curb appeal. Health effects to people and animals include:

  • Increased Wireless Exposure– Since this new standard will require extensive towers, Users will be subjected to more cell tower radiation as it will be nearly impossible to escape wireless radiation as more wireless-enabled devices will appear on the market.
  • Increased Number of Electromagnetic-Sensitivity (ES) Cases – ES is the condition in which people develop intolerances to radiation from wireless technology devices such as cell phones, cell towers, Wi-Fi, smart meters and antennas. Symptoms range from tingling and headaches to sleep disturbances, nausea and memory problems. With the increased radiation associated with 5G, we can expect to see a drastic uptick in the number ES cases. For more information on EHS go to www.safehelpsyou.org
  • Negative Environmental Impacts– Wildlife is expected to be affected by the introduction of widespread 5G. It is theorized that the navigation of birds and insects (especially bees) will be disrupted and more research is required to explore the exact repercussions of Wi-Fi radiation on our environmental surrounding. According to a study by Wageningen University in the Netherlands, radio frequency signals could very well be responsible for the diseased trees, which exhibited bark tears, bleeding and leaves prematurely dying. Trees with closest proximity to Wi-Fi networks suffered from telltale indicators of radiation sickness, including a “lead-like shine” on their leaves, which is caused by the deterioration of outer-cell layers — leading to premature death of the foliage.

We believe the responsible course of action is to defer 5G deployment until the full biological and environmental effects are understood. To protect our health, more research must be undertaken. Additionally, there should always be an option to opt-out from 5G technology from devices like appliances and cars—ensuring the safety of those with electromagnetic-sensitivities, the elderly and the young. – the AntiAgingLady

.During the recent years over 240 scientists from more than 40 countries have expressed their “serious concerns” , via EMF Scientists Appeal, regarding the ubiquitous and increasing exposure to EMF generated by electric and wireless devices – already before the additional 5G roll-out. The over 240 scientists refer to the fact that ”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 plants and animals.As of March 31 2019, 229 scientists and medical doctors have signed the appeal. The 5G Appeal is still open for endorsement for scientists (PhD, professor) or medical doctors (MD. Please contact professor em. Rainer Nyberg or ass. professor Lennart Hardell.  (Contact.)

Stop 5G

5G will result in a massive increase in inescapable, involuntary exposure to wireless radiation

Ground-based 5G

In order to transmit the enormous amounts of data required for the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G technology, when fully deployed, will use millimetre waves, which are poorly transmitted through solid material. This will require every carrier to install base stations every 100 metres[1] in every urban area in the world. Unlike previous generations of wireless technology, in which a single antenna broadcasts over a wide area, 5G base stations and 5G devices will have multiple antennas arranged in “phased arrays” [2],[3] that work together to emit focused, steerable, laser-like beams that track each other.

Each 5G phone will contain dozens of tiny antennas, all working together to track and aim a narrowly focused beam at the nearest cell tower. The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted rules [4] permitting the effective power of those beams to be as much as 20 watts, ten times more powerful than the levels permitted for current phones.

Each 5G base station will contain hundreds or thousands of antennas aiming multiple laser-like beams simultaneously at all cell phones and user devices in its service area. This technology is called “multiple input multiple output” or MIMO. FCC rules permit the effective radiated power of a 5G base station’s beams to be as much as 30,000 watts per 100 MHz of spectrum,[4] or equivalently 300,000 watts per GHz of spectrum, tens to hundreds of times more powerful than the levels permitted for current base stations.

Space-based 5G

At least five companies[5] are proposing to provide 5G from space from a combined 20,000 satellites in low- and medium-Earth orbit that will blanket the Earth with powerful, focused, steerable beams. Each satellite will emit millimetre waves with an effective radiated power of up to 5 million watts[6] from thousands of antennas arranged in a phased array. Although the energy reaching the ground from satellites will be less than that from ground-based antennas, it will irradiate areas of the Earth not reached by other transmitters and will be additional to ground-based 5G transmissions from billions of IoT objects. Even more importantly, the satellites will be located in the Earth’s magnetosphere, which exerts a significant influence over the electrical properties of the atmosphere. The alteration of the Earth’s electromagnetic environment may be an even greater threat to life than the radiation from ground-based antennas (see below).

Harmful effects of radio frequency radiation are already proven

Even before 5G was proposed, dozens of petitions and appeals[7] by international scientists, including the Freiburger Appeal signed by over 3,000 physicians, called for a halt to the expansion of wireless technology and a moratorium on new base stations.[8]

In 2015, 215 scientists from 41 countries communicated their alarm to the United Nations (UN) and World Health Organization (WHO).[9] They stated that “numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF [electromagnetic fields] affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines”. More than 10,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies demonstrate harm to human health from RF radiation.[10] [11] Effects include:

How to avoid auto EMFs

blogmeister Uncategorized , , , , , , , ,

 reprinted from EIWellspring.com

Most people do not seem to be affected by the electromagnetic radiation in cars.  Some have minor symptoms, while a few are strongly affected.

The following is a list of features that will help lower the radiation inside a car.  You will still need to measure and try the car to know if it will work for you.  Sometimes you’ll need to do further modifications.

  • No smart key (or “keyless entry”)
  • No electric car
  • No hybrid car
  • Minimal electronic gadgets
  • Older vehicle
  • Larger vehicle
  • Basic vehicle (not luxury)
  • No wireless tire pressure monitors
  • Battery located away from driver (and not in the back)
  • Alternator located away from driver
  • Fuse box located away from driver
  • Ignition coil located away from driver
  • No anti-lock brakes
  • No transverse mounted engine
  • Carburetor or mechanical fuel injectors
  • Manual or non-electric automatic transmission
  • Diesel engine

Very few vehicles will have all of the listed features and they may not all be needed.  The most important features to avoid are probably:

  • Smart key / keyless entry / intelligent key
  • Electric vehicle
  • Hybrid vehicle
