We've all heard about 5G in the news, how it's coming, how it will be a huge advance in technology and how it will bring about big changes in how we connect with the world and each other. It sounds so great and it's all the buzz about how it will bring about great changes in our lives. But is this a good thing or another assault on our privacy and health?

When we look at 5G we see that the term means different things depending on the carrier. Verizon has 5G that is very fast with download speeds up to one gigabyte per second. That's an incredible ten times faster than most wi-fi connections. However, the coverage so far is spotty and you can't count on maintaining the fast connection on the street and it's virtually non-existent in the home. Again 5G as it is being used right now can't travel very far and is blocked by walls and foliage so in order to achieve a city-wide roll out there would need to be nodes for coverage on every block. Verizon plans to turn on a low-band 5G network to increase coverage but the speeds won't be much faster than a regular LTE phone used today. 

AT&T and T-Mobile's low-band networks are in the 600 megahertz and 850 megahertz bands, effectively the same area of spectrum as existing LTE however, they're new bands of spectrum that aren't already clogged up with existing customers. These use new transmission technologies which means that these low-band 5G networks can offer faster speeds than LTE even though they're basically using the same spectrum bands as LTE. They can transmit over a much wider range than other types of 5G and that's why T-Mobile can claim to have nationwide 5G coverage. 

T-Mobile now owns Sprint and these use mid-band 5G located at the 2.5 gigahertz range of the spectrum. This is faster than low-band 5G, about the same area of the electromagnetic spectrum as your home wifi. Midband is higher frequency and more bandwidth than low-band 5G, however it's far slower than millimeter wave, which is the ultra-fast 5G.

What we are calling millimeter wave is at about 30 gigahertz, much higher frequency than any other types of 5G and offers blazing fast speeds. These are being used by Verizon and in limited areas, T-Mobile, and AT&T. These radio waves are between one and 10 millimeters in wavelength and do not pass through objects like walls or buildings easily which means that the range is very limited.

The changes in the usage of bandwidth are interesting but only part of the story. Other improvements in 5G, come from new transmission technology and techniques to improve connectivity. Carrier aggregation combines multiple LTE bands into one data stream for faster speeds, and MIMO antennas, or multiple inputs multiple outputs, use antenna arrays, made up of lots of little antennas stationed at intervals for improved connectivity.

                                                           

                     What is 5G?

Remember the old cell phones back in the 80s? If you are too young and have never seen one they were a big bulky brick-shaped phone that was virtually indestructible. You could literally drive over it (by accident of course) and it would still work. This was the beginning of cellular networks and used 1G or 1^st generation technology and it only included making phone calls to limited areas. When 2G came along the additional bandwidth enable users to start transmitting and receiving data, text messages and pictures. As the systems became more advanced these could eventually access the internet, enter the iPhone. 3G brought about better access and faster speeds and then 4G LTE enabled the downloading of larger files bringing on music and movies and whole programs into your phone which is now a small computer.

So what is 5G? The 5^th generation of phones and internet are being touted as a major advance in speed and access and purports to enable connectivity across the technology world via the IoT or Internet of things. All of these technologies are based on the same science which accesses the EM spectrum or electromagnetic spectrum sometimes called Maxwell’s Rainbow. In the low end of the spectrum or wavelength, we have radio waves and this stretches through microwaves, infrared into visible light and beyond into x-rays, gamma rays and the unknown cosmic rays. AM radio for example operates between 540 and 1600 kilohertz. This is a low energy wave but can travel for great distances. FM transmits between 88 and 108 megahertz with more bandwidth and better quality but with decreased range.

Cell phone transmission has evolved using increasing bandwidth but the systems follow the same pattern. With more bandwidth you need an increase in power to achieve strong signal transmission. The 1^st generation cell phones introduced in 1987 operated on the 800 MHz bandwidth, an analog system that was a voice-only network. 2G brought digital transmission in 1993 and operated on the 900 MHz spectrum, later adding the 1800 MHz band. #G came along in 2005 and combined 2100 MHz with 900 MHz to achieve more coverage since the 2100 MHz band suffered far more attenuation. 4G LTE or Long Term Evolution operates between 700 MHz and 2500 MHz using the same type of combination frequency carrying technology in order to achieve broad coverage.

5G will use a higher frequency range than previous networks and will operate on up to three frequency bands, low, medium and high. There will be up to three different types of cells, each requiring specific antenna designs and providing different download speeds. The low bands will operate at 600 to 850 MHz giving downloads of 30-250 megabits per second, about the same as 4G cellphones. Mid-band 5G will use microwaves of 2.5-3.7 GHz allowing speeds of 100-900 Mbit/s. High-band will use frequencies of 25-39 GHz and will achieve downloads in the gigabit per second range.

Is the 5G rollout a bad human experiment?

 

A revolution is underway in the 5G rollout, but some think it's more an experiment that will affect billions of people. 5G stands for 5th generation mobile data services and the internet will be faster than ever. This is what the Internet of Things should make possible: Intelligent, driverless cars and smart hospitals, smart fridges, thermostats, and coffee machines. Downloading a high definition movie should only take seconds. By 2025 the European Commission plans to ensure that all urban areas on the continent are provided with 5G across the board. But is there a price we will pay for this service?

What the citizens are not being told is for it to be viable a large number of new antennas need to be erected: in our residential areas, at our workplaces, even at home. Is cell phone radiation dangerous? Science is divided over this. Some experts claim it is safe; Others deny that. In 2011 the World Health Organization classified electromagnetic fields associated with cell phones as "possibly carcinogenic for humans", and studies published in 2018 showed that in rats exposed to such fields, the risk of certain types of cancer increased. Even among those who believe the technology is safe, many feel that more research is needed. There are almost no studies at all for 5G. The companies in the telecommunications industry themselves declare: "Electromagnetic signals can harbor health risks".

So, why are the EU Commission and the U.S. ignoring the warnings? They refer to guidelines drawn up by international scientific committees, but Investigate Europe found out: These bodies are a closed club: professionals with dissenting opinions are not allowed. A significant part of the scientists involved was also funded by companies involved in the 5G rollout.

252 electromagnetic field (EMF) scientists from 43 countries, all with published peer-reviewed research on the biological and health effects of nonionizing electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) have stated that:

‘Numerous recent scientific publications have shown that RF-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’ (30).

5G Linked to Significant Health Concerns

In 2015, more than 230 scientists engaged in the study of biological and health effects of non-ionizing EMFs in 41 nations signed an international appeal to the United Nations, calling for protection from non-ionizing EMF exposure due to evidence of health effects even at low levels.29

Two years later, more than 180 doctors and scientists from 35 countries signed a petition30 to enact a moratorium on the rollout of 5G due to the potential risks to wildlife and human health, citing research showing an increased risk for:

• Cancer
• Cellular stress and increase in harmful free radicals
• Genetic damage
• Reproductive problems31,32,33
• Neurological disorders

News About 5G and Your Health

What Science Says About 5G

A 2-page fact sheet19 on 5G can be downloaded from the Environmental Health Trust’s website. There, you can also access a long list of published scientific studies showing cause for concern.20 Remember, 5G will result in an exponential increase in RFR exposure, and there are already thousands of studies demonstrating biological effects from low-intensity electromagnetic fields (EMFs).

More than 1,800 studies summarized in the BioInitiative Report21 (2007 and 2012) show immune system effects, neurological effects, cognitive effects and much more. For example, cumulative daily EMF exposure from cellphones and Wi-Fi is associated with cancer,22,23 altered brain development in children and reproductive damage in both sexes.

Latest News On Harmful Effects Of EMF Exposure

This article from Dr. Mercola explains some recent research into the effects of EMF on the Mitochondria and how calcium builds up in your cells due to electromagnetic exposure. He interviews Dr. Martin Paul and here you will learn about the ways EMF can affect you.

By Dr. Mercola

I’ve often noted that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are a pernicious, hidden health risk. But exactly how does this kind of microwave radiation damage your health? Martin Pall, Ph.D., has identified and published research describing the likely molecular mechanisms of how EMFs from cellphones and wireless technologies damage plants, animals and humans.1,2 ,3,4

Pall has a bachelor’s in physics from Johns Hopkins and a Ph.D. in biochemistry and genetics from Caltech, and is uniquely qualified for this type of research. For the past 18 years, he’s been scouring the medical literature, integrating and drawing parallels between work done by others to answer this pressing question.

The debate over Cell Phone Radiation continues. 

This article from Dr. Mercola discusses cell phone dangers and another concern about the emissions coming from your mobile device.

• Exposure to cellphone radiation may or may not increase your risk of brain tumor formation, but this is a minor risk compared to damage done by free radicals from peroxynitrites that radically impair mitochondrial function
• Science has linked exposure to peroxynitrites from low-frequency microwave radiation emitted from cellphones and Wi-Fi networks with chronic diseases such as heart disease, obesity and inflammatory bowel disease
• You can reduce your exposure by shutting off your Wi-Fi at night, keeping cellphones in airplane mode unless using them, using the speaker phone and using a selfie stick when talking on it

The Debate Over Brain Tumors and Cellphone Exposure Continues

An Italian court recently weighed in on the debate over cellphone use and the development of brain tumors when they found in favor of a longtime telecommunication employee, Roberto Romeo, who claimed a benign brain tumor resulted in hearing loss in one ear.6Interestingly, both Romeo7 and his attorney made reference to inappropriate use of a cellphone that led to the development of the tumor. Romeo reportedly used his cellphone for three hours a day over 15 years while doing his job for the mobile phone company.

We can neutralize EMF!

We've heard from Dr. Sinatra

"Electrosmog is the greatest health threat of this millenium" Dr. Sinatra

In this article from a few years back Dr. Sinatra describes how your cell phone is affecting your heart.

"The reason your cell phone affects your heart is that your heart is more than a muscle—it’s a finely tuned electrical system. Pacemakers and ICDs are inserted when the heart needs help maintaining a healthy, steady beat. So, when you introduce a cell, or cordless, phone that emits its own chaotic electrosmog radio frequency, it can interfere with the pacemaker or ICD and can even damage the heart itself."

During my review of scientific research on the subject, I noticed that as far back as 1970 the Russians were reporting problems with on-the-job exposure to microwave radiation—the same time type of radiation that’s used in these phones. They looked at 105 young men (all under 40) who’d been exposed to several milliwatts per cm2 for 5 years.

This Is What They Found About Radiation and The Heart:

• Thirty-four percent reported pain in the heart region.
• Thirty-six percent experienced autonomic vascular crisis: headache, tremor, syncope, brief loss of consciousness (LOC) and had tachycardia (abrupt, rapid heartbeat).
• Two people had a heart attack.
• One person developed atrial fibrillation.

Protection Against EMF!

As the world changes and we keep adding electronic devices to our everyday lives, the amount of electric pollution keeps adding up. Wouldn't you like to see a product that can:

• Reduce magnetic field gradients
• Defend against changes in your blood profile
• Lower your body’s stress levels

Here are some of the benefits that you will get from the new product.

The microchip is small and discreet, but is packed with incredible technology. Backed by real scientific testing, this device uses the latest innovations in layered thin chip technology to actively protect your body against electronic and mobile radiation.

Active phone calls create a low-frequency electromagnetic field in close vicinity to the cell phone. However, its levels are inconsistent: it contains gaps and peaks, which are called gradients. Our unit disassembles these peaks into smooth progressions that make the electromagnetic fields tolerable for our bodies.

Tests that were conducted after a 10 minute telephone call without this, and they showed modifications in the blood count (a modified hematopoietic): the blood cells stuck together. It is likely that the surrounding water protection shield or the blood cells themselves lost polarization due to the negative impact of the conflicting magnetic field.

In contrast, the same test that was carried out after a 10 minute phone call with the new shield, and did not show any changes in the blood count.

Sometimes the best things come in small packages.

This new designed microchip is small and discreet, but is packed with incredible technology. Backed by real scientific testing, this device used the latest innovations in layered thin chip technology to actively protect your body against electronic and mobile radiation.

What is Wi-fi?

Nicola Tesla first described the use of wireless transmission of energy in the late 1800's and went on to invent numerous applications of the idea. Today our world is connected through the use of the many wireless devices we have become accustomed to. The incredible change this has brought us is not without it's dangers however. The electromagnetic force that is radiating from these sources has been identified as a hazard and the exposure continues to grow with the ever increasing use of wireless sources. Wi-fi in particular has become a problem for a growing percentage of the population that are "electromagnetic hypersensitive. This article from the Science in Society website discusses some of the problems with Wi-fi.

Wireless explosion out of control

There are now more than 250 000 public hotspots for wi-fi worldwide [2]. Wi-fi is available in millions of homes, corporations, and university campuses. According to one estimate, wi-fi use has increased 74 percent in Europe and 75 percent in the UK between the first and second half of 2006 [3]. Birmingham is to have Britain's first city wide wireless communication by early 2007, and Manchester is planning the largest European wi-fi zone covering 400 square miles. Norwich and Milton Keynes already have wi-fi, and Brighton is set to follow [4]. Most worrying of all, wi-fi has been installed in up to 80 percent of secondary schools in the UK and more than half of the primary schools [5] , exposing the most vulnerable populations to microwave irradiation.

The increasing popularity of wi-fi comes on the heels of the explosive growth in wireless mobile telephones, and amid heightened concerns over the health hazards of saturating levels of electromagnetic radiation [6] ( Cancer Risks from Microwaves Confirmed , SiS 34). Microwaves at current exposure levels are linked to brain damage, DNA damage, brain tumours, cancers, microwave sickness, impairment of cognitive functions, impairment of reproduction and fertility, affecting humans, rodents, birds, and bees.

Health hazards of microwave radiation

• Rats exposed to microwave radiation from mobile phones for two hours showed signs of brain damage due to leakage of the blood brain barrier that persisted 50 days later [7] ( Mobile Phones & Brain Damage , SiS 24).
• DNA breaks and chromosomal abnormalities were found in animal and human cells exposed to low levels of microwaves [8] ( Confirmed: Mobile Phones Break DNA & Scramble Genomes , SiS 25)
• Risk of cancers – breast, prostate, bowel, skin (melanoma), lung and blood - trebled with microwave exposure in the Southern German town of Naila 5 to 10 years after the mobile phone transmitter was installed [6].
• Risk of cancers quadrupled in area exposed to microwave radiation in Netanya, an female cancers 10.5 fold compared with the general population in Israel [6].
• Risk of acoustic neuroma and glioma increased 2 to 3 fold on 10 years or more of mobile phone use [6].
• Mobile phone use correlates strongly with chronic illnesses [9]; Sweden has had a seven-fold increase in the long-term ill since 1981.
• Men who used mobile phones more than 4 hours a day had lower sperm count and poorer quality sperm compared to those who did not use mobile phones [10].
• A study in Greece showed that mice exposed to mobile phone microwaves at 1.68 m W/m 2 became completely sterile after five generations, while those exposed to 10.53 mW/m 2 became completely sterile after three generations [11]
• Reproduction and breeding success of sparrows and white storks are reduced near mobile phone transmitters, and exposure to microwaves in the laboratory caused high mortality rates in chick embryos [12] ( Mobile Phones and Vanishing Birds , SiS 34).
• Bees fail to return to their hives when cordless phone base-stations were installed, raising strong suspicion that microwave radiation may be responsible for the colony collapse disorder now devastating beekeepers and farmers in the United States and Europe [13] ( Mobile Phones and Vanishing Bees , SiS 34).
• Up to 3.5 percent of people suffer a range of symptoms including headache, nausea, lack of concentration, depression and allergy, known collectively as microwave sickness syndrome when in proximity of mobile phone transmitters.

Mobile Devices and Cancer Risk

Everyone seems to have a mobile device, even children. While this seems to be a new awakening for society and the world at large, are we assessing the possible dangers of this wired world? The mainstream news rarely post information about the hazards that might be affecting our families and loved ones, yet there is viable information that shows there may be problems. In this article from Dr. Mercola we can get a sense of the larger picture. 

"Is Your Cell Phone Putting You at Risk?"

The war rages on about the safety of cell phones. Depending on which side of the argument you listen to, there’s either nothing to fear, or your phone is causing grave harm when it comes into close contact with your body. Where does the real truth lie?

The year 2014 marked the first time in history that there were officially more mobile devices than people in the world – approximately 7.2 billion.

Although significantly lower, the number of cell phone users is forecast to reach 4.77 billion by the year 2017.

That’s a lot of cell phones and cell phone users. But what’s even more fascinating about all these mobile devices is thebehavior that surrounds them:

• Nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults own a smartphone and over 250 million of them use their phones an average of six days a week
• The average cellphone owner checks their phone 110 times a day, or about nine times each hour
• A whopping 46 percent of smartphone owners say “they couldn’t live without” their phones
• As of December, 2015, 47 percent of homes used only cell phones
• More than about half of U.K. cell phone users suffer from “nomophobia,” or the fear of being without their phone (and the number may be even higher for American users)

Clearly, cell phones aren’t going away anytime soon. I use my smartphone every day, too. But how I use mine most likely differs from how the typical user uses theirs…

So what can you do to make cell phone usage safer for yourself and your family?

First and foremost, I recommend you consider not allowing your child or pre-teen to have a cell phone.

For teens, I encourage you to educate them on the dangers of holding or storing a cell phone close to their bodies and to remind them to use a safe headset if they need to make a call.

And, no one should ever use one while driving, including texting.

Here are some additional suggestions for minimizing your exposure to cell phone radiation:

1. Reduce your cell phone usage. Turn your phone off when you don’t need it.
2. Use your cell phone on speakerphone whenever possible. Avoiding contact with your head is the most important safeguard you can take.
3. Keep your phone as far away from your body as possible. There's a significant drop-off in radiation exposure for every inch your phone is away from your body. Don’t stow your cell phone in your pocket!
4. Don’t place your phone against your head while the call is connecting. This is when your phone is sending out its strongest signal and you don’t want this surge of radiation penetrating your head!
5. Use a landline at home and at work. Just because everyone else goes cordless, you don’t need to.
6. Avoid using your cell phone if reception is poor. The weaker the reception, the more power your phone uses to transmit, and the more exposure you receive.
7. Limit cell phone use in your car. The metal parts of your car – the roof, doors, and chassis can magnify the radiation. Plus your phone has to work harder and increase its transmitting strength as you travel between cell towers.
8. If you must make a call unprotected, limit it to less than two minutes. Radiation exposure is dose-related. The longer you spend on your phone, the more potentially harmful microwave radiation you’re exposed to.
9. Use low power Bluetooth^® technology or a headset to keep your phone away from your body. But just remember that if you use your Bluetooth^® or headset a lot, you are still exposed to radiation right near your head.
10. For the ultimate in safety, use an air tube headset that’s specially designed to reduce cell phone radiation.In just a minute, I’ll tell you about the one I use.

This is a real concern and the more you know the better you're prepared to make decisions for yourself and your family to protect yourself from potential harm. 

Latest Cell Phone Danger Report

The news about cell phone danger has been ongoing. In May 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), declared cell phones a Group 2B 'Possible Carcinogen,' meaning a "possible cancer-causing agent," based on the available research. 

In this article from Dr. Mercola, he has updated his posts about EMF problems with some findings recently published about the effects of cell phone radiation.

Latest Radio frequency Study — A Wake Up Call for Cell Phone Hazard Deniers?

Despite such findings, cell phones have become increasingly pervasive and such a common part of our daily lives that most people never think twice about using them and carrying them on their body all day long.

Some do exercise caution, using speakerphone or texting, for instance, instead of holding the phone up to their ear (and right next to their brain), but many still refuse to believe the risks are real.

Alas, researchers have demonstrated that wireless phones and other gadgets have the potential to cause all sorts of health problems, from headaches to brain tumors, with young children being at greatest risk.

In fact, 72 percent of industry-funded studies have failed to discern any biological effect from cell phone radiation exposure, whereas 67 percent of independent studies (those not funded by industry) did find biological effects.3

For example, by 1990, before there even was a consumer cell phone industry, at least two dozen epidemiological studies on humans indicated a link between electromagnetic fields (EMF) and/or radio frequencies (RF) and serious health problems, including childhood leukemia.

Cell Phone Dangers

Smart Meter News

SMART METER NEWS

Have you heard about Smart Meters? You probably already have one on your home and don't know it. Are they dangerous to your health? The debate rages on with a lot of misinformation being fed to the public. Decide for yourself after taking a look at the info. Here's an article from the website of Dr. Mercola which discusses some of the latest findings and results of studies being done on this polarizing issue.

Getting Smarter About the Smart Grid

The featured report "Getting Smarter About the Smart Grid" highlights widespread misunderstandings about the alleged technological benefits of the new 'smart' utility meters, including disturbing misunderstandings among state and local government officials, energy policy experts, advocates for renewable energies, environmental nonprofits, and experts at the highest federal levels.

The report builds the case that beyond privacy, security, safety and potential public health risks of the present smart meters, the very basis on which the meters have been presented to communities may have been misrepresented — as the meters themselves actually have nothing to do, according to Dr. Schoechle, with achieving sustainability, developing a smart grid or even stimulating the economy.

The smart meters, he says, do not facilitate the integration of renewable technologies, or local or 'distributed' power generation, key elements of a 'smart grid' that could support a thriving new energy economy. And, "data to be collected by the smart meters, including intimate personal details of citizens' lives, is not necessary to the basic purpose of the smart grid,such as supply/demand balancing, demand response (DR), dynamic pricing, renewable integration, or local generation and storage, as promoters of the meters, and uninformed parties, routinely claim."

These misunderstandings have unfortunately been perpetuated by media who regularly take industry-affiliated spokespeople at their word, and give the impression that smart meters of the kind being installed today are necessary components of a smart grid. In a PBS News Hour program³ (July 20, 2012), for example, the myth of energy efficiency from smart meters, and smart meters being necessary building blocks for a smart grid, were uncritically shared with PBS audiences, according to Duncan Campbell, Esq. who wrote the Foreword to the new report. Edward Randolph, Director of Energy for the California Public Utilities Commission, said:

"The vast majority of all of the input and evidence is that, you know, society is going to benefit from the smart meters. I mean, the energy-efficiency savings alone in the long term for the state of California is going to be a large economic benefit for most rate payers."

Helen Burt, Chief Customer Officer, Pacific Gas & Electric, stated on the same program:

"Well, a smart meter is really a basic building block of a smarter grid. And a smart grid is being built all over the United States to connect solar power and other pieces of intermittent renewable power into the electric system"

Dr. Schoechle, author of "Getting Smarter About the Smart Grid," however, calls the smart meters being rolled out across the U.S. "a canard — a story or hoax based on specious claims about energy benefits…" He says the right investments for a true smart grid have been delayed by the focus on new meters.

The U.S. govt. has put a lot of money and effort into the installation of Smart Meters with little insight into the health dangers and exposure to outside hackers. Get informed and help to keep our country a place where free Americans still have the right to choose what happens in their own homes!

Protect Yourself From EMF!

10 Ways to Protect Yourself from EMF Exposure

Electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure is linked to many acute and chronic illnesses and conditions, and electrical sensitivities are a serious emerging public health concern in which most doctors have no training. Everyday we are exposed to EMFs from a number of common sources that can be found where we live and work. Here are some tips to help you lessen or even avoid exposure:

The Office and Computing Area

1) Whenever possible, avoid working directly on a laptop computer by plugging in a secondary keyboard and mouse to help lessen your exposure (this is especially helpful if you are working on it for extended periods of time). I highly recommend to avoid placing a laptop on your lap, especially when it’s plugged in. Many laptop computers produce a strong EMF, especially when plugged in to an electrical outlet as they are charging a battery in close proximity to where you rest your hands or your computer.

2) When replacing (or updating) your computer monitor or TV, opt for a liquid crystal display (LCD). LCDs emit much less radiation than the old CRT style monitors that use a cathode ray gun to excite the phosphors on the screen.

3) Clean up the electrical power cords and transformers around your computer and desk and reroute them away from your feet and seating area. Transformers and power bars around your feet while you work can be a huge EMF exposure point, especially if you spend a lot of time on your computer.

Wireless Technology

4) Avoid installing a wireless network (wi-fi) in your home. In October of 2007, the German government advised its public to avoid using wi-fi because of the possible health risks they pose. Wireless routers emit electromagnetic radiation even when they aren't in use.

5) When purchasing a cordless phone, try to avoid one that uses DECT technology. In 2005 the German government also banned this type of wireless technology. The base station of these phones constantly transmits a strong radio frequency signal, even when the handset is just sitting idle in the cradle. If you have one, keep it turned off as much as possible. DECT technology is also used in some baby monitors, so be sure to phone the manufacturer prior to purchasing one to see this type of technology was used in its production.

6) Limit the time you spend talking on cellular and cordless phones and only let children under 14 use them for short periods of time (when absolutely necessary). Lately we’ve been hearing about the possible health risks associated with cell phone radiation. It is important to understand that cordless phones use electromagnetic radiation to communicate - just like cell phones - and radiation exposure is cumulative no matter what the source.

Here's some tips on how to protect yourself from EMF exposure.

Can You Neutralize EMF?

Guard Against Emf!

This is some very interesting information brought to your by Natures Energies. Not all Electromagnetic Radiation can be harmonized by many devices that are being sold for such purpose. Check out this article to learn more.

The remedy to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) - should we select shielding or should we modify the radiation we are exposed to?

For over 20 years, we have examined various devices which manufacturers claim either shields or alters EMR, making it safer for the body. In the 1990s a compound called orgonite was developed and it was found to produce orgone energy, and partially lowered the dangerous effects of radiation. Various devices such as pyramids and pendants were made into various artistic pieces and were found at various shows, websites and in some specialty stores. Over time, geomancers with a more sensitive nature concluded that orgonite caused more harm than good, yet these products are still sold globally and manufacturers are unaware of the potential dangers of orgonite thinking they are doing more good than harm. Our own observations led us to the devices produced by Gerard Bini, the developer of a group of products programmed and infused with energy which he calls orgonium. Gerard's devices in our opinion are the most effective, and the safest products on the market globally, and we receive positive feedback regarding his products regularly. We are very happy to have the privilege in dealing with Gerard and there are no other products which come even close to his.

In the last year or so, we have had many people writing to us saying that they have purchased a geoclense, and when they use an EMF meter to check for radiation levels, there is no change whatsoever. They often question is the unit working at all? The answer is yes! A geoclense will not actually shield radiation, but it will alter the frequency making it safer for human organs (in fact so safe there is no negative effect on the body whatsoever which is scientifically confirmed by medical diagnostic equipment such as bicom, MORA, and Orion Electro Dermal Biofeedback which measures stress on organs).

Some people have compared the geoclense with an EMR radiation shield, and observation shows that the shield lowers radiation, but NEVER clears it completely. A shield will work "diluting" the radiation by spreading it, and thus lowering the guass, or EMR concentration, and this is shown on an EMF meter. The problem is that it might be lowered, but it is still at a dangerous frequency to the human body. This is confirmed by kinesiologists through simple tests. Beware of cowboys or professors armed with EMF meters as they are leading to scientific conclusions, but we can show that the lowered radiation levels are still dangerous to our health.

The other point is where there has been a source of EMR, and when that source has been removed, there is always an imprint which remains. This can be shown by switching on a toaster in an area where it is not normally used. Feel the area with your hand before you place the toaster in a specific area, switch it on, leave it for a while then switch it off and then remove the toaster from that area. Feel the area where the toaster was switched on and feel the subtle difference with your hand - the area that you feel is known as an imprint. A geoclense is the ONLY device known that can remove such imprints.

The conclusion is that it is not possible to completely block radiation (unless we go to extraordinary steps), but we can alter the radiation making it completely safe to the human body. This is possible using the devices available through Natures Energies. Particularly thegeoclense, the Schumann generators, the area neutralizer as well as the orgone pendant and phone harmonizers which are all orgonium products.

There are many products that claim to help when considering Electromagnetic Radiation by not all are what they claim to be. You can do some simple test to determine if they are effective. A strength test will show you if your energy is being tapped or enhanced by these devices. Guard yourself against this unseen danger!

News About Smart Meters

Today's article from Smart Planet addresses the ongoing debate about Smart Meter Safety. The many concerns about fires, radiation, and security are discussed and some different insights are presented.

The Morning Briefing: Are smart meters dangerous?

By Charlie Osborne | September 7, 2012, 12:45 AM PDT

1.) ComEd: Smart meter installation causes three area house fires. The installation of smart meters, the devices promising customers real-time information about peak electricity use, has caused three small fires in area homes, ComEd has confirmed.

2.) Top 6 common myths about smart meter danger exposed. There’s a lot of talk about smart meters and how they can help communities use power more efficiently, conserving energy and thus reducing costs. However, some claim that smart meters are hazardous to human health, emitting dangerous high frequency radio waves that can cause illness and disease.

3.) Risk of smart grid security breaches higher than ever. It’s no secret that cyber security is an integral part of the smart grid, but utilities and regulators are continuing to grapple with the best way to fortify themselves against the expanding host of cyber threats.

4.) Fire concerns over smart meters appear overblown. About 35 people die in fires in British Columbia every year, most of which could have been prevented. So the fact that at least two fires broke out in homes after the installation of smart meters is a concern. British Columbians have a right to expect that the installation of the new meters is making them safer, not put-ting them at greater risk.

5.) Smart meters too toxic to touch. It is perhaps the biggest single public policy failure in the energy sector of the past decade - mandated smart meters which are being introduced in Victoria. With the cost of the roll-out now estimated at more than $2 billion - more than twice the initial estimated cost — it has added another lucrative profit source to the activities of the power distributors.

Like many such articles the facts about health issues are poorly researched and little understood. Electromagnetic radiation is a real health concern and should not be dismissed as easily as the power industry would like. The other issues that surround the mandatory installation of Smart Meters are also a valid concern and should be noted by all citizens that could possibly be affected.

Electromagnetic Radiation Exposure

So the question that arises is: How do you know if your getting too much Electromagnetic Radiation exposure? There are conflicting ideas about levels of exposure and whether or not they affect health. Here's some info about different guidelines that currently exist. 

From Alternative Magnetic Therapy . com

How much EMF exposure is too much for you?

The medical and electric power communities have differing views on EMF exposure health effects. But they all agree on one thing: There is no minimum daily requirement for EMF.

In other words, no amount of EMF exposure can be considered safe. However, some voluntary guidelines exist.

• Russian researchers believe 1/1000ths of mG (milliGauss) should be the standard.

• In the US, where the usual background level of 60 Hz magnetic field is 0.5 mG, most states have adopted a 3 mG cutoff point.

• The US Environmental Protection Agency proposes a safety standard of 1 mG.

• Sweden has set a maximum safety limit of 1 mG.

• When electricians try to solve a magnetic field problem they do their best to drop the level to 1 mG or below (Robert O. Becker, MD, in Cross Currents: The Perils of Electro pollution, 1990)

• Dr Nancy Wertheimer, a PhD epidemiologist who has been studying EMF exposure for 20 years, suggests a cutoff point of 1 mG.

• Health studies indicate that electromagnetic fields over 100 mG can most certainly produce health effects. Fields as low as 1 mG can be dangerous if body exposure is for a long period of time. (1991)

• The state of Florida in US has set a 250 mG maximum on the edge of their power line right-of-ways. (1991)

• Several international authorities (such as International Commission on Non-lionizing Radiation and European Committee for Electro technical Standardization) have also set safety limits for public and occupational EMF exposure to 50-60 Hz.

"The United States is wired with 500,000 miles of high-voltage power lines. Industry, government, and military depend on 250,000 microwave relay links. Airliners see and are seen via radar. 9,000,000 broadcasting transmitters and microwave relay stations, and 30,000,000 CB radios flood our airways. Industry employs 35,000,000 electromagnetic devices. As a result, a typical American now gets a daily dosage of electromagnetic radiation up to 200 million times more intense than what his ancestors took in from the sun, stars, and other natural sources." (Lowell Ponte in the article, "The Menace if Electric Smog")
