Cuban Diplomats Likely Hit by Microwave Weapons, NY Times Reports
9/4/18
https://mdsafetech.org/blog/
Physicians for Safe Technology

"Disturbing and sometimes incapacitating neurologic symptoms have been experienced by American and Canadian diplomats in Cuba since late 2015 and in American diplomats in China more recently this year. A New York Times front page article Sept 1, 2018, eerily describes what researchers and physicians have discovered to be the likely cause in this international story that reads like a spy novel. Initially it was felt that these strange and varied symptoms could be due to sonic attacks as people reported hearing clicking and high pitched chirping, as well as feeling symptoms including headaches, nausea and dizziness, during the episodes, with long term effects of hearing loss, ringing in the ears and fatigue. Experts are now pointing to focused beams of targeted man-made pulsed microwave radiation penetrating the walls of the homes and hotels of the 21 diplomats studied. The long term effects are consistent with known cellular and oxidative damage from radiofrequency radiation, as Dr. Beatrice Golomb highlights in her recent article to be published Sept 15, 2018.

Microwave Hearing
Allan Frey, a biologist at Cornell University was the first to discover and publish papers on “microwave hearing” while working on radar equipment at General Electric’s Advanced Electronics Center. In the 1970’s. This sonic hearing was found at levels below what are considered today safe exposure standards. Frey was later invited to the Soviet Union to discuss these effects at the Soviet Academy of Sciences. Not long after, our Defense Intelligence Agency warned that the soviets were developing a new class of psychophysical microwave weapons which could be beamed from afar and temporarily or permanently harm the nervous system. Our own Air Force scientists found they could beam comprehensible speech into a person’s brain, and were given a patent in 2002 for this technology destined for “psychological warfare”.

In late 2016, following a breakdown in Cuba and U.S. relations, U.S. diplomats and their families began experiencing unusual high pitched sounds in their hotel rooms and homes. This was accompanied by incapacitating headaches, fatigue, and insomnia. The medical team that examined them published a peer reviewed article in the Journal of the American Medical Association in March 2018 describing their symptoms. They state, “retrospective case series, persistent cognitive, vestibular, and oculomotor dysfunction, as well as sleep impairment and headaches, were observed among US government personnel in Havana, Cuba, associated with reports of directional audible and/or sensory phenomena of unclear origin. These individuals appeared to have sustained injury to widespread brain networks without an associated history of head trauma.”

Mystery Illness: Microwave Illness
University of California San Diego Professor Dr. Beatrice Golomb, after extensively researching the health effects of microwave radiation has provided the most comprehensive explanation for the diplomat’s mystery illness. In an upcoming article in the October 2018 issue of Neural Computation, she lays out the case for neurological effects from radiofrequency radiation. She notes the variety of symptoms reported by diplomats is consistent with effects seen in those with microwave illness and radio frequency exposure. This condition is also known as electrosensitivity (ES) or electrohypersensitivity (EHS).

Symptoms and Signs Compatible with Electrosensitivity
According to an American Academy of Advancement of Sciences press release, Dr. Golomb stated “The specifics of the varied sounds that the diplomats reported hearing during the apparent inciting episodes, such as chirping, ringing and buzzing, cohere in detail with known properties of so-called ‘microwave hearing,’ also known as the Frey effect… And the symptoms that emerged fit, including the dominance of sleep problems, headaches and cognitive issues, as well as the distinctive prominence of auditory symptoms. Even objective findings reported on brain imaging fit with what has been reported for persons affected by RF/MW radiation.” She adds the toxic reaction is “tied to mitochondrial alteration and oxidative stress”.

Dr. Golomb noted that the diplomats symptoms are similar to those of EHS (headache , insomnia, cognitive problems, dizziness, nausea, along with balance, speech and vision impairment and nosebleeds). In addition the rate of symptoms among diplomats is consistent with those of EHS reported in the literature. “Headache 81% vs 81%, Sleep problems 86% vs 76%, Irritability 67% vs 56%, Nervousness/Anxiety 52% vs 56%, Dizziness 67% vs 64%, Tinnitus 57% vs 63%.” In addition, she notes that “the repudiation of psychogenic causation in the evaluation of diplomats, which holds for RF/MW affected persons as well.”

NASA Has Reported Symptoms of Microwave Illness in Radar Personnel
A similar complex of variable symptoms was reported decades ago in military personnel occupationally exposed to microwave radar signals. There is robust and expanding literature on the adverse health and environmental effects of microwave radiation we are commonly exposed to in our homes and near cell towers. Manmade electromagnetic radiation affects basic cellular processes of all living organisms via complex non-thermal mechanisms and not surprisingly can be used as a military weapon with higher power.

It is common knowledge that high frequency millimeter wavelengths (95GHz) are used by the military for non-lethal crowd control (active denial system). 5G technology is in the same high frequency group (6GHz-100GHz). Our current 3G and 4G microwave technology uses longer wavelengths. It is not clear what frequencies were used on the diplomats, if this was an attack or for surveillance, nor is it clear who the perpetrators were. What is becoming apparent is that electrosensitivity is a real medical diagnosis with common symptoms. Physicians now have a lightly traveled path of peer reviewed documentation leading to diagnosis and treatment of this condition. The Austrian Medical Association has written the most detailed compendium on this subject as they recognize that “Physicians are increasingly confronted with health problems from unidentified causes”. Their EUROPAEM EMF Guideline 2016 for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of EMF-related health problems and illnesses links electrosensitivity with chemical sensitivity in common mechanisms of harm and biomarkers.

Electrosenstivity in an Expanding Wireless Environment
It is problematic that the rapid and unobstructed deployment of 5G millimeter technology is being pushed by the telecommunications industry in congress (S 3157) without premarket study of health or environmental effects, without provisions for post market study, without precautions and without appropriate public input. We are already saturated with 3G and 4G technology, also without pre or post market study. What happens to those electrosensitive individuals as wireless systems expand? Will we be able to have Wi Fi free and cell tower free zones where they are able to live or shop? What are the long term effects of this wireless radiation on the rest of us who do not sense this radiation? These military revelations prompt more questions and inquiry regarding short and long term effects of wireless technology on public health and the environment. Should we be more thoughtful about how and where we use this technology? There are safer alternatives such as in Reinventing Wires. 5G is poised to appear on a street corner near you. There remain many more questions than answers about this technology. We should all be asking them to our local, state and federal representatives before these blanket our neighborhoods."

Now, anyone stumbled across this - https://www.bioelectricshield.com/ ?

This wee research paper makes interesting reading - https://www.susanblackmore.uk/wp-con.../Bioshield.pdf

A Wee video by the inventor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-i5b_e7d5w

Approx 20 years, it made headline/front page news of daily mail with Tony Blair's wife cherie wearing it, front page of the mirror and featured in many other newspapers, and newspaper cartoonists and satirists, but there's more to crystals and the bioelectric shield than meets the eye.

A kineseology muscle test on one hand whilst the other holds a tv remote control, pocket calculator or worse - a phone, can help to demonstrate the negative effecs EMF has on the body. Think about when you sit in a new car these days and all the electronics draining you in the confided space.

The schuman resonance (earth/mind frequency) has changed in recent years, and the police using equipment on their own staff/people who dont know the harmful effects, and many other govt overt and covert projects with all sorts of smart gadgets from metres to TVs affecting humans....

...who knows where it will all end.

Wireless Radiation + Glyphosate Exposure With Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D.
4/25/22
https://live.childrenshealthdefense....ime/SC2v6K0mSc

(A lot of information on the forum about electromagnetic sensitivity has been relegated to the "Stop 5G Before it's Irreversible" thread.
But EMF sensitivity isn't just about damage from 5G, it's from lots of things, so I think this thread needs to be revived.
Dr. Seneff has told us a lot about glysophate and how it works to make the jabs more deadly, but it also interacts with wi-fi and other EMFs to cause damage.
I don't know how to embed the video but perhaps another member or Mod will oblige. )

"Today, on “Tea Time,” viewers hear from guests Allan and Dr. Seneff on the dangers of glyphosates and EMF radiation and how to combat their impacts on our lives and health. Dr. Seneff also speaks to their relationship with sulfur, Vitamin D, and organic diets. What does it mean that glyphosate is an endocrine disruptor and how will that effect fertility and pregnancy? How can we consume sunlight more effectively? Tune in to find out!"

"It’s astounding that with all of our medical advances, cancer is still on the rise. And we cannot (and should not) ignore the role that man-made electromagnetic fields play in all of this.

Without a concerted effort, every day that passes is another day your body is put under significant EMF stress - even though you can’t feel it this will slowly erode your health.

EMF hygiene is important for everyone. But if cancer is part of your health story, it’s especially important and relevant.

I encourage you to start introducing some EMF hygiene into your life. This can be in terms of how you use your cell phone, or Wi-FI or turning your electricity off at night in your bedroom. Do something, no matter how small.

Beyond that, there are so many other ways of tackling cancer…

No Cell Phone! campaign launched worldwide today
From: Arthur Firstenberg <info@cellphonetaskforce.org>
11/4/22

"NO CELL PHONE! Campaign Launched Worldwide Today

When I was eight years old, as I stood among the birds and trees in front of my cousins’ country home, I suddenly heard a horrendous noise I had never heard before. “It is called a chain saw,” said my uncle George, as he explained to me what it did. In my mind’s eye I saw forests tumbling down all over the world.

Four years later, a TV commercial filled me with foreboding. It featured a bottle of shampoo falling to the floor of a shower stall and not breaking! The Prell company was introducing the wonders of plastic to a consuming public.

That same year, 1962, a marine biologist awakened the world to the devastation caused by pesticides, igniting an environmental movement that shook the world to its roots.

Yet today, 60 years later, the world poisons itself with five times as much pesticides as it did before Rachel Carson’s monumental book. The few remaining old growth forests continue to be felled by machines with a power beyond anyone’s control. And as marine mammals, seabirds and turtles choke on bottle caps, lids and grocery bags, the oceans will soon contain more plastics than fish, and we swim in microplastic particles that rain down on us day and night in the very air we breathe.

It is no one’s fault, and it is everyone’s fault. Today, without assigning blame, we have an opportunity to gather together in personal action for the future of life on Earth. An opportunity to change course. Microwave radiation is the first pollutant that is being spread intentionally over every square inch of the planet. And it is the first pollutant whose source and driving force -- the mobile phone -- is within the palms and pockets of the world’s population at all times. This gives us a unique opportunity to be proactive instead of just advocates. To be a movement of change and not just for change. To set an example of what must also be done with respect to the other environmental assaults.

Wireless technology is also the first pollutant for which there is not a dose response: the effect does not depend on the dose. Reducing the power level of a wireless device does not reduce the harm that it causes. For purposes of health and environment, a cell phone is a cell tower. We cannot have birds and insects and also have cell phones. Our children will not live to grow up if we do not get rid of cell phones.

The benefits of ridding one’s life of cell phones -- the restoration of your health and vitality -- are immediate, startling, and far greater than the benefits that they provide. And as this action spreads, so will the benefits. A restored vitality of the forests, oceans, wildlife and birds that once gave life meaning will give people much more than they will give up when they throw away their cell phones -- and gladly give up, once they feel the difference and realize what they have traded away.

We ask you to join in pledging to do your part in putting an end to the greatest, most urgent, most ignored assault on the Earth that there is. To plant a seed that will be watered, grow, and proliferate. No one -- not legislators, not judges, not corporate CEOs -- can do it for us.

Please read and sign the pledge below. The signature text comes in two versions, one for people who still own cell phones, and the other for people who do not. You can also read and sign them in these languages:

Català Dansk Deutsch English Español Français

WHEREAS, life on Earth evolved for billions of years without microwave radiation (the microwave radiation from the sun and stars being miniscule), and there is no safe level of exposure;

WHEREAS, microwave radiation is the first pollutant that is being intentionally dispersed over every square inch of the Earth, instead of unintentionally like every other pollutant;

WHEREAS, there are 15 billion cell phones in use on Earth today, and the microwaving of our planet will never cease unless and until the people decide to stop using them;

WHEREAS, microwave radiation is a greater and more urgent assault on the Earth than global warming, pesticides, or any other environmental threat, and is well on the way to destroying the rest of terrestrial life within a very few years;

URGENT: Take Action for Wireless Safety and Transparency!
<team@childrenshealthdefense.org

Children's Health Defense
https://childrenshealthdefense.salsa...b-cf84941660dc



TAKE ACTION HERE:https://childrenshealthdefense.org/c...f-eeca7d14c736

"Imagine waking up one morning to a cell tower being installed in your front yard. You were not notified and are not allowed to appeal the decision. There is nothing you can do.

For many people in California, this nightmare could become a reality on Jan. 10, and they need your help today!

Take Action! https://childrenshealthdefense.org/c...f-eeca7d14c736

On Jan. 10, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (Board) will vote on changes to Titles 16 and 22 of the L.A. County Code. If the proposed changes pass, wireless facilities will be installed without any prior notice, public hearing or opportunity to appeal — without fire or safety scrutiny and without regard to critical environmental protections.

We need you to stand up for our allies in L.A. by urging the Board to vote NO on the proposed changes and to safeguard due process rights.

Why should you care?

We have seen time and time again that policies adopted in California quickly spread to other states. The Board’s decision may have ramifications for people across the United States. If adopted in L.A., similar changes will likely pass throughout California and the rest of the United States, coming to a city near you!

Telecom giants will get a free pass to further fast-track the installation of cell towers and small cells in your yards and next to your children’s schools. Due process rights will be stripped away. These installations are not safe! They pose a significant fire risk and continuously expose us, our children and the environment to toxic levels of RF radiation. Wireless facilities will be installed without any prior notice, public hearing or opportunity to appeal — without fire or safety scrutiny or regard to critical environmental protections.

We need your help to stop these dangerous developments before they are proposed in your State!

What You Can Do

Tell the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to safeguard due process rights by voting NO to the proposed changes to Titles 16 and 22 of the L.A. County Code. Complete the form below, submit a public comment here (agenda item 59) and call their offices to demand the following protections:

Safeguard Due Process Rights: The radiation emitted from cell towers is not safe for humans or the environment. Therefore, the placement of antennas is a matter of urgent public interest. Cutting off debate, eliminating public input and ignoring environmental laws (including CEQA) is unjustified.
Adopt the Redline: Urge the Board of Supervisors to adopt the redline for Titles 16 and 22 that Fiber First L.A. submitted. Encourage them to invest in resources and take advantage of federal dollars to provide superior fiber optic broadband connections rather than slow, unreliable, expensive, unregulated and hazardous wireless broadband that requires hundreds of new antennas in our residential neighborhoods.

Protect Us From Telecom Wildfires: In the last 15 years, there have been four major Southern California wildfires initiated, in whole or in part, by telecommunications equipment. Cell tower fires are electrical fires that firefighters cannot fight until the grid is cut, which can take up to 60 minutes. Cell tower placement close to homes or schools may not allow enough time for escape in the event of a fire. The proposed revisions enable cell towers to be too close to homes, schools and daycare centers.
Stick to Facts: In case of emergency, should there be a loss of electricity, 911 calls would depend solely upon the macro towers that receive backup power per the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Order. The claim that hundreds of new small cell antennas are required for 911 calls is false and should not be used as an argument for the amendments.

Fill out our form to tell the Board to prioritize the health and safety of residents and the environment and to vote NO on Jan. 10! "

Top Scientists Find ‘Substantial Scientific Evidence’ RF Radiation Causes Cancer
3/3/23
By Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/d...2-eb76b7e13a72

(Hyperlinks in the article not embedded here.)

"Based on the results of their landmark review of the latest science, four of the world’s top experts in environmental health called for prevention and precaution when it comes to public exposure to radiofrequency radiation.

Four of the world’s top experts in environmental health are calling for prevention and precaution when it comes to public exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation.

The scientists — including the former director of the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) — last month published a preprint review of the most recent studies on the effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and RF radiation on different life forms and humans, and the epidemiological evidence for cancer due to RF radiation from cellphone use. https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...13935122023659

The authors concluded there is “substantial scientific evidence” that “RF radiation causes cancer, endocrinological, neurological and other adverse health effects” — and that the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has failed to protect public health.

They accused the FCC of ignoring the “Precautionary Principle,” commonly used in toxicology, and also the Bradford Hill criteria, a set of principles commonly used in epidemiology for establishing a causal relationship, in evaluating the risks of RF radiation.

“This article is a clarion call for prevention and precaution,” said Devra Davis, Ph.D., M.P.H., a toxicologist and epidemiologist who co-authored the paper.

“We know enough now to take steps to reduce exposure to this. … It’s time,” said Davis, who also is founder and president of the Environmental Health Trust, and founding director of the Center for Environmental Oncology and the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.

The paper’s other authors are:

Paul Ben Ishai, Ph.D., a physicist at Ariel University in Israel.
Hugh Taylor, M.D., a professor and department chair of Obstetrics Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at Yale School of Medicine.
Linda Birnbaum, Ph.D., a toxicologist and former director of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the NTP.
Birnbaum and Taylor are members of the U.S. National Academy of Medicine, the nation’s premier association of distinguished researchers.

Davis was founding director of the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology of the U.S. National Research Council for the National Academy of Sciences, a private society of distinguished scholars.

Cumulatively, the four authors have published more than 1,600 peer-reviewed articles.

Davis told The Defender there is a “plethora” of experimental and epidemiological evidence that establishes a causal relationship between EMR-RF and cancer.

Studies also have shown that EMR/RF can cause DNA damage, and that it can adversely affect fetal development and the endocrine system.

“EMF/RF functions like a classic endocrine disruptor by impairing both male and female reproductive functions,” the authors said.

They pointed out that senior advisers to the World Health Organization, including Dr. Lennart Hardell, have said that if RF radiation were evaluated based on more current studies, it would likely be upgraded to a probable — if not confirmed — human carcinogen.

Davis said the paper is a “landmark” article — “but the landmark is built on the shoulders of a number of others,” she added.

Many researchers — including James Lin, Ph.D., Louis Slesin, Ph.D., Joel Moskowitz, Ph.D., Lennart Hardell, M.D., Ph.D., Cindy Sage, M.A. and Dr. David Carpenter — have worked “relentlessly” on the issue of RF radiation, she said.

‘Industry-affiliated scientists’ distort public discourse on RF radiation

According to the authors, the public discourse around RF radiation has been distorted by some “fundamentally flawed” yet widely publicized reports — written by “industry-affiliated scientists” — purporting to show “no health risk.”

The paper evolved from the authors’ discussions of “several peer-reviewed papers that provided biased analysis, most notably the 2021 review by David Robert Grimes, Ph.D. published in JAMA Oncology,” Davis told Microwave News.

“It is imperative to insist on a complete picture of the evidence and not the whitewashed or distorted version currently promoted,” the authors said.

More independent research on RF radiation — free from bias by the telecom industry — is required. Without this, the authors said, “We are effectively conducting an uncontrolled experiment on ourselves, our families, and our children.”

The authors also criticized the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for dismissing many of the studies that have shown adverse effects from RF radiation, including the $30 million NTP study done in 2018, which showed “clear evidence” that electromagnetic radiation is associated with cancer and DNA damage.

According to Davis, the FDA’s rejection of the NTP study was “deeply flawed” and “deeply hypocritical.”

The FDA in 1999 requested the NTP study cellphone radiation, she said. FDA officials were intimately involved in reviewing the study design plans.

“Then when the results came out and some people didn’t like it, the FDA began to trash talk their own study,” Davis said.

Davis said the scientific and regulatory battle around RF radiation today reminded her and her co-authors of the earlier battle around tobacco.

“We were there in the early days when — believe it or not — 70% of surgeons smoked. And in the 1970s and 1980s, the tobacco industry gave the National Cancer Institute $11 million to study how to make a safe cigarette,” Davis said.

There was a scientific debate “that went on for years longer than it should have” about whether or not tobacco was safe for the environments of children.

“In 1983, when I was the executive director for the National Academy of Sciences Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology, we put together a committee to answer the question of whether it was okay to have smoking on airplanes,” Davis said.

At the time, that was a scientific question, she said, adding that the committee — after reviewing the research — became the first in the world to issue a ban on smoking in airplanes.

Davis said scientists and the public realized the studies suggesting tobacco was safe were “manufactured” by the tobacco industry — and the same thing is happening now with RF radiation and the telecom industry, she added."

Action Alert: Demand the FCC Recognize Electromagnetic Sensitivity (EMS) and Prioritize #FiberFirst
MARCH 07, 2023
Childrens Health Defense
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/c...62e3b#fcc-form

"Tell the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to recognize Electromagnetic Sensitivity (EMS) as a legitimate health condition, accommodate those disabled by it and demand #FiberFirst.

With this new rule, the FCC wants to ensure everyone has access to wireless high-speed internet. Despite mounting evidence that radiofrequency (RF) radiation from wireless technology is harmful to people and the environment, the FCC is charging forward.

After receiving hundreds of comments urging the FCC to recognize the EMS-disabled community and prioritize fiber technology in its rulemaking process, the FCC has done neither. We need your help to let them know this is unacceptable!

Before March 21, we need to repeat our concerns to the FCC about the risks and harms of wireless technology on our children and vulnerable populations by submitting comments in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking phase. We must also share these concerns with our elected officials, who must hold government agencies accountable for their decisions.

Take action by completing the form and submitting official comments:
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/c...62e3b#fcc-form

What is EMS?

Prevalence estimates indicate that up to 30% of the population is affected by EMS — a condition where radiofrequency radiation emitted from smartphones, WiFi, cell towers, smart meters, etc., produces adverse health effects or worsening of existing health conditions. Symptoms of EMS:

Headaches
Cognitive impairment
Disorientation
Sleep disruption
Fatigue
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Vertigo
Nausea
Skin rashes
Behavioral problems
Mood swings
Anxiety
Depression
TAKE ACTION NOW

We Must Advocate for Disability Rights

The EMS community is large in number but often cannot attend public policy and zoning meetings due to wireless exposure.

Those with severe symptoms are functionally excluded from public participation, and those with nearby wireless facilities, such as cell towers, cannot even take refuge in their homes.

What We Are Proposing

The FCC should prioritize “fiber to the premises (FTTP)” solutions. FTTP is the installation of optical fiber directly to individual homes, multi-dwelling units, schools, municipal buildings and businesses to provide high-speed broadband access. The FCC should rely on fixed wireless only when fully wired is technically impossible. The main purpose of mobile wireless is to support mobility, not to be a substitute for wired fixed arrangements.
Allow equal access to broadband in a form that does not threaten or worsen the health and well-being of RF-sensitive individuals, especially those with EMS disabilities. Individuals who cannot be around RF must have the ability, as a matter of right, to obtain wired (fiber-based) broadband.
Provide RF-free “safe zones” in public spaces and buildings to ensure inclusion in public life.

What You Can Do

Pine Bluff rejected the data mining hub. Thank goodness!

However, Newport Economic Developers embraced bitcoin mining.

Vilonia has just approved the Bitcoin site.

Unfortunately, they are trying to install mining sites in many other places in our state, not just in these towns!

PLEASE be aware!! We need to stand against this locally!

How Cryptocurrency Mining Impacts The Environment

NBC News’ Joshua Johnson explains how cryptocurrencies are not just impacting the global financial markets but are also negatively affecting the environment through the amount of electricity used to mine digital currencies.

Proof of problems: Bitcoin mining’s pollution devastates communities across the U.S.
https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/ne...es-communities

WASHINGTON – Electricity-intensive mining of the cryptocurrency bitcoin harms communities across the U.S. with air, climate, waste, water and noise pollution, a new Environmental Working Group investigation finds. https://www.ewg.org/research/proof-p...us-communities

The new report features interviews with residents, environmental advocates and others in six states, revealing the widespread blight bitcoin mining inflicts in their backyards. In Georgia or North Carolina, noise pollution ruins homeowners’ quality of life. In Montana and Kentucky, carbon and other emissions impair air quality. In Pennsylvania, dirty coal waste powers bitcoin mining operations, and in New York, bitcoin mining relies on a natural gas plant critics say is contaminating their water and air.

Here is an important report: Climate and Energy Implications of Crypto-Assets in the United States written for the White House.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-conten...ate-Report.pdf

The report even went so far as to suggest the federal government should limit or eliminate the use of highly energy-intensive cryptocurrency mining methods.

Here’s a snippet:

… Crypto-assets are digital assets that are implemented using cryptographic techniques. Crypto-assets can require considerable amounts of electricity usage, which can result in greenhouse gas emissions, as well as additional pollution, noise, and other local impacts to communities living near mining facilities.

Ban crypto-mines in Cherokee County, North Carolina

If you are not aware, China has banned crypto-mining and cryptocurrency as of May 2021, mostly for power consumption and environmental reasons. In response, there has been an exponential increase in crypto-mining locations in the US. The ideal location is a rural area, with little or no zoning regulations, inexpensive land, proximity to a large river, and hydroelectric production already in place.

Bitcoin mining is a noise pollution menace across the US
https://thred.com/tech/bitcoin-minin...across-the-us/

We know all about the ecological toll of Bitcoin mining, but a lesser talked about issue is just how noisy its industrial processes are. Residents at Niagara Falls claim it’s ruining their quality of life.

For context, the average Bitcoin mining machine produces between 70 and 90 decibels as a by-product, which explains why grievances continue flooding in for City Hall officials nationwide. Not all of these instances are easily resolved, either, with noise pollution regulated at local level by states and ignored by federal governments.

Mayors and the board members of our Arkansas cities and towns have been told that they MUST vote for Bitcoin mining near the city or else! They are threatened with a lawsuit for millions of dollars if they do not approve the Bitcoin site and move it forward!

The city attorneys are telling the mayors and board members of our Arkansas cities and towns that they HAVE to vote for the Bitcoin mining near the city… or else!

In closing, we believe this will dangerously affect our electrical grid and our health!

More information will be coming, and we will update you on what happens in Harrison as soon as we can.

Dangers of Cryptocurrency Data Mining with Chinese Communist Party
UPDATE on the Meeting in Harrison TODAY 4/25/2023 1:00pm
April 25, 2023 Action Alerts, Agenda 21
https://securetherepublic.com/arkans...mmunist-party/

"UPDATE! The Harrison, Arkansas, area may have dodged a bullet today (April 25, 2023) when the Harrison Planning Commission did not call for a vote on the environmentally-polluting cryptocurrency mining facility, a data center which would be a stressor for our U.S. and Arkansas power grid. Here was the agenda from today’s Planning Commission hearing.

HUNDREDS of people turned out for the meeting today demanding that the dangerous crypto-mining site be stopped. Here was the letter from the Harrison Mayor Jerry Jackson available to the outraged public.



Only a certain number of people were allowed inside the hearing, and shown above is the overflow of people into the lobby. Many more people stood outside.

KY3 reports: Harrison, Ark., data mining center on hold after planning and zoning meet

Some excerpts:

Many people are concerned about a possible new business in Harrison, Arkansas. Planning and zoning took up the proposed cryptocurrency mining center Tuesday.

The area where the proposed building will be is zoned as industrial. Crypto mining is such a new industry no one is really sure if it fits under zoning for industrial. Tuesday’s meeting was supposed to decide that, though, after hours of public comment, the committee said they would look at deciding next month.

Mayor Jerry Jackson also expressed his feelings on the project during the meeting, speaking out against it.

We hope that Mayor Jackson is sincere.

We need to be concerned about the draw upon our electrical grid and the rising prices of electrical power, for now and into the future.

Crypto Mining Poses Challenges to Public Power Utilities

Fitch Ratings-New York/San Francisco/Austin- 24 January 2022:

Digital asset or crypto currency mining in the US could pose power supply risks to public power utilities unless they are sufficiently mitigated, Fitch Ratings says. Crypto mining is energy intensive and requires a considerable amount of power that can significantly increase a utility’s overall electrical load. Utilities must balance the revenue prospect of increased electrical sales with the commitment to procure or generate large amounts of power for crypto mining operations.

Also, the noise pollution alone could destroy the area where you are living.

And that’s not all that’s at stake.

Utility Companies Face Credit Risk from Bankruptcies of Crypto Miners

While there are many types of cryptocurrency, the most popular and valuable digital currency is Bitcoin. To create or “mine” Bitcoin, a company needs two things: (i) many powerful computers constantly connected to and working for the Bitcoin network or “blockchain” and (ii) access to substantial amounts of electricity to operate (and cool) those computers. Because of this steady demand, utility companies with more capacity than demand have sought out crypto mining companies as customers. In exchange for this usage, utility companies offer miners favorable rates for electricity and may build out the infrastructure necessary to deliver the requested power.

However, recent volatility in the cryptocurrency markets[1] has forced some cryptocurrency brokers/miners into bankruptcy, and these filings highlight the credit risk that utilities face when a significant customer ceases operations or files bankruptcy. For example, Core Scientific, Inc. and related companies (“Core”) – recently filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. As part of its bankruptcy filings, Core stated that its total average monthly bill for electricity was more than $24 million dollars split between seven providers. Prior to the bankruptcy, Core had either posted deposits with its providers or was pre-paying for the following week’s estimated usage.

This is a huge risk for them.

You can bet that there will be skyrocketing price hikes on electricity bills for us as consumers as well if this mining facility moves forward. And expect brown-outs and black outs. Complete outages!

From the two reports linked above, one can see that we do NOT need crypto mining in our natural state… or any other state in the U.S. This needs to be STOPPED, and we need to do everything we can to get them out of this country.

There are still many questions that remain unanswered, like:

Why in the world did Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders sign Act 819 entitled “An Act to Provide Sales and Use Tax Exemptions for Data Centers; to Provide a Sales and Use Tax Exemption for Data Center Equipment, Data Center Costs, Certain Services Provided to a Data Center, and Electricity Used by a Data Center; and for Other Purposes” ?
Where was Entergy today? We need answers!
Why are we allowing a communist entity to purchase land and operate a business — one that connects to our very important electrical grid — on our sovereign U.S. soil? Remember, this is CHINA we’re talking about…
Our cities and counties are being THREATENED that they have to vote for this type of Bitcoin mining in their area. We do not need to allow this to continue. Once these mining companies get their claws into an area, they won’t let it go before it’s picked apart.

Our new governor needs to stand AGAINST this type of crypto mining, and these laws regarding digital mining (like Act 819 and Act 851 that were passed this month) need to be repealed!

There’s a reason why Communist China kicked the Bitcoin miners out in 2021…

Could this be another reason why China is in our country — to strain or bring our U.S. power grid down — which will force more windmills and solar panels?

We believe that these are skillfully targeted attacks on our grid.

Remember, we will uncover more with our investigation, so stay tuned for a more-thorough article…

The Use of EMF Filters for Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity
by Dr. Joseph Mercola
May 07, 2023
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/a...bid=1793478645

(video at the link)


STORY AT-A-GLANCE
If you’re Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic and are electrically hypersensitive, your blood sugar may increase when you’re exposed to dirty electricity
Risk factors for electromagnetic hypersensitivity include spinal cord damage, whiplash, brain damage, concussion, chemical and heavy metal toxicity, impaired immune function and bacterial or parasitic infections such as Lyme
Dirty electricity has been shown to worsen multiple sclerosis (MS), and many MS patients report improvement when installing EMF filters to remove dirty electricity from their environment
Dirty electricity may also worsen asthma, heart problems, anxiety, infertility, tinnitus and other health problems
Test reveal microwave radiation causes red blood cells to aggregate and clump together, which can raise your risk of stroke, heart attack and other health problems

Editor's Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published September 9, 2018.

In this interview, Magda Havas, Ph.D., discusses the benefits of electromagnetic field (EMF) filters. These devices are particularly important for those who are electrosensitive.

Most people just don't want to believe EMFs are problematic because electricity and electric, wireless devices are so incredibly convenient and provide us with many logistical benefits. Most public health authorities also insist EMFs are safe. I was initially a skeptic myself, as was Havas.

I intellectually acknowledged there might be cause for concern, but I thought I could simply sidestep any danger by living a healthy lifestyle. Then, about a year and a half ago, I attended a presentation by Havas and Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, which served as a powerful catalyst for changing my views — to the point I started taking aggressive steps to remediate and lower my exposure to EMFs.

Delving Into the Research
Havas is an associate professor at Trent University in Canada. Initially, her research focus was acid rain and metal pollution. In 1990, while teaching a course called "Pollution Ecology," she decided to include electrosmog as well.

"I had heard that children who live near power lines have an increased risk of developing leukemia," Havas says. "I thought this would be a different type of pollutant that I could introduce into the class. I update my lectures every year because the world of chemical toxicology changes so dramatically.

I began to look at the literature and found that it was really confusing. There were a lot of studies showing that, yes, children who live near power lines have a greater risk of developing various types of cancers … I felt it wasn't time for me yet to enter this field because that wasn't my area of expertise. My area of expertise was chemical toxicology.

One day, my husband was visiting his brother in Wales. They were walking the dog late at night near a nuclear power plant. They went under some high-voltage transmission lines. My brother-in-law was a chemical mechanical engineer. He whipped out a fluorescent tube from under his coat and held it up under the power line. It lit up.

My husband came back and told me about this, because he knew I was interested but had put it on hold. That evening I unscrewed one of the tubes from our kitchen, under the cabinets. I did the same thing near a high-voltage transmission line, and it lit up. That sort of intrigued me. I didn't understand the physics of it. I do now, but it took me a while.

I asked a friend of mine, a physics professor at my university, 'Do you think this could cause childhood leukemia?' It was his response that really turned me onto this research. His response was, 'Definitely not.' I think when you ask someone for their opinion about something, it's really important to find out what that opinion is based on, so I just asked him.

He said, 'There's not enough energy. It's not ionizing radiation. There's not enough energy to cause cancer, so you have nothing to worry about.' That wasn't a satisfactory answer. At that point, I decided that I was going to demolish the literature. I was going to go through absolutely everything very, very carefully, and figure out for myself whether I thought this was a real factor …"

Tracking Down EMFs Effect on Cancer Cells
It took her three years to conclude the EMF childhood leukemia link was real, albeit the effect is small. She then scoured the occupational literature, looking at people who work in high electromagnetic occupations. Again, the literature showed there was an increased risk of leukemia, but also brain tumors and breast cancer.

From there, she began to look at natural EMFs to find out how the human body reacts to them. "I went from childhood leukemia, some residential exposure, to occupational exposure, to natural electromagnetic fields," she says. "And then a friend of mine suggested I look at the healing effects of electromagnetic therapies."

At this point, there didn't appear to be a predictable pattern to the effects she was finding. This finally changed once she delved into the research on pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) to heal bone fractures. This is a well-established therapy that has been used since the 1960s. One of the documents stated PEMF should not be used on cancer patients, although it didn't specify why.

"What PEMF therapy does among other things is it increases cell division. When you have increased cell division in bone, that's good, because it's going to promote healing. But if you have increased cell division of cancerous cells, then that's not good. I sort of had an aha moment.

At that point, I realized that low-frequency EMFs can cause cancer and can definitely promote the growth of cancer. Since then, the research is just basically supporting all of that information. I went from studying extremely low frequency EMFs to doing research, and introducing it into my courses."

Dirty Electricity Can Have Marked Effect on Behavior
Around 2003, Havas was approached by a mother whose daughter was electrically hypersensitive. She asked Havas to conduct a study at the daughter's school, to evaluate the effects of EMF filters such as the Stetzer filter, which reduce dirty electricity. At the time, Havas was unfamiliar with dirty electricity, but reluctantly agreed to conduct the experiment.1,2

"I was very skeptical that you can put something in an electrical outlet and that would clean the electricity and everyone would be happy and healthy after that," she says, noting that she really did not expect to find any effects of these filters.

"When I finally got to analyzing the data, I was absolutely shocked by what I found … At that time, electrical hypersensitivity was attributed to less than 1% of the population. We didn't have a large enough sample size in the school. Even if one teacher was electrically hypersensitive, it wouldn't show up, because we didn't have a large enough sample size.

But we found that about 44% of the teachers improved while the filters were plugged in. We did a before and after, and because they didn't know what was going on, it wasn't a placebo effect. It was totally blinded. They thought we were evaluating their teaching ability. They had no idea what we were doing.

We told them we couldn't tell them because it would affect the results. But at the end of the study, we'd reveal all the information. We had a custodian who plugged filters in on the weekend. These are just little boxes that you don't really notice.

We did that study and found that teacher health improved, and student behavior improved. Many of the symptoms that improved in the school were those we associate with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. This was quite intriguing to me."

EMFs and Diabetes
After completing that experiment, Havas met Dave Stetzer, co-creator of the Graham-Stetzer filter (along with the late Dr. Martin Graham), and was able to learn more about his research first-hand. He told her he was prediabetic, and whenever he was in an environment with a lot of dirty power, his blood sugar increased.

Since blood sugar is an objective assessment, and something you cannot consciously control, Havas decided to study3 EMFs effects on diabetics. What she discovered was that if you're Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic, and are electrically hypersensitive, then your blood sugar will increase if you're exposed to dirty electricity.

"There's something called 'brittle diabetes,' which is a form of diabetes where people can't control their blood sugar. It suddenly goes up or it suddenly goes down, and it's not related to their activity, their food or medication. I really think that brittle diabetes is environmentally triggered.

I think one of the triggers is electromagnetic pollution, whether it's dirty power or higher radio frequencies. One of the people we worked with was a woman in New York, who was a Type 2 diabetic. She didn't take any medication … If she measured her blood sugar and it was high, she would take a 20-minute walk, and it would come down to a normal, acceptable level.

On days when it rained or she didn't feel like walking outside, she would walk on an electric treadmill. Whenever she walked on the treadmill, her blood sugar actually skyrocketed, went way up, which is not what you would expect.

One of the things doctors recommend is exercise for their patients. They don't distinguish between walking outside or walking on a treadmill, but treadmills give off dirty power. They also have a high magnetic field.

So, if you're a diabetic and you're electrically hypersensitive, you might actually do more damage to your body because of the stress the electrosmog generates in the body. Hence, your blood sugar goes up."

EMFs Worsen Multiple Sclerosis
Another school experienced a dramatic reduction in asthma attacks, and the principal, who had multiple sclerosis (MS), improved almost immediately once Stetzer filters were installed. Intrigued, Havas started working with people diagnosed with MS. In the video, she shares a number of stories from her case files, some of which are rather dramatic. Here's one example:

"A woman told me, 'Tell me when you're coming for the interview and the measurements. I'll leave the door open. Just knock and come in because it'll take me too long to walk to the door to open it for you.' That particular woman, within six weeks, was not only able to walk without any assistance and open the door. She told me she actually went on a vacation with her husband and was dancing.

I kept thinking, 'No one's going to believe me, because I could barely believe my own eyes' … I began to videotape these individuals. The videotape was my proof … Many different types of MS benefited. Not everyone we tested benefited, but the vast majority had some improvement, not only in their physical ability, but also their cognitive abilities. It was really quite obvious."

MRI scans further showed that MS patients who had used EMF filters for several years had a decrease in the sclerosis in the brain. Not only did filtering EMFs improve the symptoms, but it actually allowed the body to heal itself. Results of this investigation into the effects of EMF on MS were published in 2006.4

Conditions That Increase Your Risk of Hypersensitivity
Havas became very interested in finding out how to diagnose electromagnetic hypersensitivity5 (EHS), which is recognized by the World Health Organization.6 (EHS is also sometimes referred to as idiopathic environmental intolerance, meaning the cause is unknown.) According to Havas, a number of conditions can increase your risk of EHS, including:

Spinal cord damage and whiplash

Brain damage and concussion

Chemical toxicity, such as high levels of mercury, lead, PCBs or other neurotoxins

Bacterial and/or parasitic infections such as Lyme

Impaired immune function and lupus

The very young and the very old

Tinnitus Shares Pathophysiology With EHS
Researchers have also found a significant association between tinnitus and EMF hypersensitivity, hinting at a shared pathophysiology between the two conditions.7 In this study, 89 EMF hypersensitive patients were compared to 107 controls, matched for age, gender, living surroundings and workplace environment.

Nearly 51% of EMF hypersensitive patients had tinnitus, compared to just 17.5% of controls. While prevalence was significantly higher among those sensitive to EMFs, tinnitus duration and severity did not differ between the two groups. According to the authors:

"Our data indicate that tinnitus is associated with subjective electromagnetic hypersensitivity. An individual vulnerability probably due to an overactivated cortical distress network seems to be responsible for both electromagnetic hypersensitivity and tinnitus. Hence, therapeutic efforts should focus on treatment strategies (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy) aiming at normalizing this dysfunctional distress network."

EMFs Effect on Heart Rate
One organ that is particularly sensitive to EMFs is your heart. To investigate, Havas conducted an experiment8 with people who claimed EMFs caused heart palpitations, very frequently when entering certain stores, or the mall.

"They felt as soon as they walked in, their heart rate would rise. They would have kind of an anxiety attack and have to leave the store as quickly as possible," Havas says.

"Often, they said they would make a list, go in and do the shopping as quickly as possible and leave, because the longer they stayed in the store, the worse they felt. They would develop brain fog, become dizzy and nauseous."

Using heart rate variability technology, Havas and Jeffrey Marrongelle, a chiropractor who does energy medicine, assessed 25 people, some of which claimed to have EHS and others who had never even heard the term.

The participants were exposed to microwave radiation from the bay station of a cordless phone, which emits nonstop radiation. Interestingly, while no real relationship could be found between those who claimed to have EHS and the exposure, people who were fit and in good health had the greatest response.

"Basically, what they experienced was a stress response. There was an increase in their sympathetic and a decrease in their parasympathetic response, with an increase in either heart rate or a change in the heart rate, in terms of arrhythmia …

This was a double-blind study that was really very powerful, showing this is not something that people can actually regulate themselves.

Just one example, we had a person who had a heartrate of about 65. They were lying down on a mat. The cordless phone was behind their heads, so they couldn't see it and didn't know when it was turned on or off. Their heart rate zoomed up to 120 beats per minute while they were lying down.

Most people would have to go up at least a flight of stairs in order to get that kind of response from their heart. As soon as the phone was disconnected, their heart rate returned to normal. While this was a more extreme case, there were several people who had that kind of response."

EMFs Effects on Blood
Havas has also conducted many tests on her own blood over the years. She noticed that after working on the computer, her blood was coagulated and viscous.

After spending eight minutes on a PEMF mat, her blood was free-flowing again. Continuing her tests, she realized that whenever her body had been exposed to microwave radiation, whether from a Wi-Fi router, a cordless phone or cellphone, it went into rouleau formation (aggregates of red blood cells). She explains:

"There are virtually no cells that are single cells. Everything is just clumping together. We know that the effect of that is really quite damaging. It could cause a stroke. It could cause a heart attack. It certainly reduces your circulation in your fingers and toes, for example, leading to cold extremities and a tingling sensation.

All these tests we were doing was to try to alert medical doctors to what they can do in office to diagnose someone with EHS. Things like blood sugar, heart rate and blood coagulation are some of the things that can actually be done, so that doctors can do the diagnostics …

There are some people who respond only to microwave radiation. They don't respond to anything else. Others respond primarily to dirty power. Dirty power and microwaves are virtually ubiquitous. They're everywhere … I think dirty electricity is really a missing link.

There are very few people in the world studying the biological effects of dirty electricity. There has been a huge amount of research looking at electromagnetic interference, which is another thing that dirty electricity does.

Engineers are very familiar with this. They very often will shield against that to protect sensitive electronic equipment. They don't realize that by protecting the equipment, you're also protecting human health. That's really important."

Remediation Tools
Before you begin remediation, you need a couple of tools to actually measure the EMFs in your home or office. Here, it's important to realize that not all devices accurately measure all three types of EMFs — the electric fields, magnetic fields and radiofrequency fields. Havas recommends three different types of meters:

•The Acousticom 2

•The TriField meter (while it measures electric, magnetic and radio frequencies, it's really only good for measuring magnetic fields. It's not an accurate tool for measuring electric fields or radio frequencies)

•A Microsurge (Stetzer) meter, which measures dirty electricity, and at least one Stetzer filter, to allow you to determine how much you can reduce the dirty power at any given location

"I think if you have these three different devices, and you know what the levels are, what you're looking for … then you can go around your house and find out what you're exposed to. It's really quite simple," she says.

"There are ways of going around doing the measurements. The more you play around with it, the more comfortable you become with it. You'll find some real surprises when you have the meters, because things that you think might be turned off or aren't radiating may be and increasing your exposure. Doing your own testing is something I highly recommend."

As for the Stetzer filter, most homes will probably need at least 20. A large home may need anywhere from 40 to 80 filters in larger homes. At about $40 apiece, the investment can be significant. You can, however, get a discounted bulk rate if you call Stetzer Electric. https://www.stetzerelectric.com/ You won't find the discount online; you'll need to make a phone call and you can get the price down to around $25 per unit.

It will be important to also purchase a meter, otherwise you will have no idea how serious your problem is and where to place the filters. Typically, two to three need to be installed in your bedroom (the most important), rooms that have computers, and the room close to your circuit breakers.

Ideally, readings should be below 50 and even better below 35. If installing a filter doesn't lower the reading by at least 20%, it is probably best to find a different location for the filter.

It also would be best to have a knowledgeable electrician evaluate your home for any wiring errors as that cannot be fixed by the filters. What's more, anything you plug into an improperly wired (code violation) circuit will increase harmful magnetic fields. A surprisingly large number of homes have wiring errors and can be as high as 30% or more in some areas.

Beware of Smart Lights
I've previously written about the dangers of LEDs and fluorescent light bulbs, but Havas brings up yet another, even worse, type of bulb — so-called smart lights that you can turn on and off with your smartphone.

"They radiate microwaves as high as your Wi-Fi router or your wireless phone," she says. I went to a lighting conference in Germany two years ago. I was giving a talk on different types of lighting and looking at the spectrum, looking at all the different frequencies they emit, including ultraviolet and the relative ratio of blue to red, all that kind of stuff.

The lighting industry was sponsoring this conference, so I said, 'Can you send me a good-quality lightbulb?' They said, 'No problem.' They sent me one and it was probably the worst bulb I've ever tested. It was one of these smart bulbs that as soon as you turn it on, it's emitting microwave radiation.

I remember talking to the president of the company when I went to Germany. I showed the results … I said, 'Your lightbulb was one of the worst because of this microwave radiation. You know, it's making people sick.' He said, 'I had no idea. But the entire industry is going that way, and we don't want to be left out.'"

On Ground Current
Havas explains:

"It turns out you can have electricity flowing through the ground. This is happening more and more often. In part because of the way we use electricity in North America; with the way that we distribute it and transmit it.

We have so many multiple grounds that the electricity from an area of high electrical conductivity can move to an area where there's less electrons, so they just move through the ground. When you have moving electrons, you can create a current.

There are farms mostly in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa that have a really serious ground current problem with their dairy cows. These cows are just constantly lifting their feet because they're being exposed to ground current. But it's not the 60-cycle that's most damaging. It's the dirty power [100 kHz] flowing through the ground that is causing it …

There are people who claim that the best thing you can ever do is get grounded. I would agree with that, provided you're in an area where you don't have a ground current problem. It's like you can drink clean water, you can drink dirty water. They have very different effects.

If you have dirty electricity flowing through the ground, getting grounded means it's now entering your body, because it comes right in through one leg and down the other basically.

These devices that you plug into your electrical outlet that you then put on your bed so that you're grounded at night, people who use them are beginning to tell me that after a couple of days or a couple of weeks, they're actually beginning to feel quite ill.

My guess is that they've got dirty electricity coming through the ground, into their sleeping area, and hence, making them sick. You have to be very, very careful where you're grounded …"

Yes, quite correct

More about that from this article here

Extracted:

Shungite is the world's oldest hydrocarbon-based rock.11 It's not a mineral in the strictest sense of the word, although it's often referred to as one. Shungite comes from only one place on Earth—an area known as Karelia, which is a geographic area divided between Russia and Finland (just north of Saint Petersburg).

.......

How Shungite Protects Against Ionising and Non-Ionising Radiation
Shungite offers protection against both ionising and non-ionising EMFs. It's not clear what the full range of frequencies might be that it affects. Several studies suggest shungite offers protection from ionising radiation, such as ultraviolet and X-rays. A 2017 rodent study discovered a topical shungite preparation imparted significant protection to hairless mice exposed to UVB radiation due to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

In her book, Regina Martino describes a study at the Ukrainian Academy of Medical Sciences involving volunteer cancer patients. The group drinking water exposed to shungite had their blood panels return to normal within two to three weeks of radiation therapy, whereas the control group took three to four months. The Grigoriev Institute for Medical Radiology at the national Academy of Medical Science of Ukraine exposed rats to radiation. The rats given shungite water for 15 days showed a 95 per cent survival rate, compared to 63 per cent for the control group not given shungite water.

What about shungite and non-ionising electromagnetic fields—the kind emitted by computers, TV and radio, power lines, cell phones, cordless phones, smart meters, and Wi-Fi devices? These EMFs represent radiation in the radiofrequency and microwave frequency ranges, and they surround us all day, every day. For evidence about shungite's effects on these, we must dive into the fascinating field of bioenergetics...

DNA Damage from EMFs IRREVERSIBLE?
Barry Trower thinks so.
See: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...5732&FORM=VIRE

(I would say that DNA damage can probably be reversed once people are living again in harmony with Nature, and Nature itself will do the healing, but there will have to be a lot of changes to come before that happens...)

I get the email news from Live Better Group and this was the report from them today:

"I present webinars about 5G and EMF protection.

The presentation has changed a lot lately - because 5G is changing the world on a weekly basis.

I learned this week that UK Special Forces expert Barry Trower, a Microwave weapons expert, has said that the damage EMF's do to your DNA is IRREVERSIBLE! It carries on through the generations! Mother to Granddaughter to great Granddaughter etc.... Now THAT's a scary thought.

"STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Autism needs to be approached as a system; systems biology looks at everything in biology as a web where everything is connected.
When you tug at one part of the web, the rest of the web changes
Dr. Martha Herbert believes autism develops in response to environmental factors that irritate and excite the brain, such as toxic exposures, allergens and electromagnetic fields
Autism can be predicted by looking at the level of brain irritability in the child.
Mercury, EMF, glyphosate, vaccine adjuvants and processed foods are all contributing factors
The neural network disturbance found in the brain of autistic children has been shown to be proportional to the amount of mitochondrial dysfunction they have; in other words, autism is an outgrowth of mitochondrial stress and dysfunction
De novo (new) gene mutations can result when sperm is exposed to wireless radiation.
Men desiring healthy children should avoid carrying their cellphone in their pants pocket

This interview was recorded in November 2018 at the annual Academy for Comprehensive and Integrative Medicine (ACIM) convention in Orlando, Florida, but this is the first time it was ever run on the site. At the time there was concern that the topic was too controversial, but now that five years has passed and COVID changed the controversial landscape we thought it would be good to release the video on this important topic.

I had the opportunity to interview two experts on autism and dirty electricity, Peter Sullivan and Dr. Martha Herbert, who cowrote “The Autism Revolution: Whole-Body Strategies for Making Life All It Can Be.”1 Here, we discuss some of the toxic factors that contribute to the development of autism, especially the role of electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) and dirty electricity.

Sullivan’s Journey
Sullivan has struggled with electromagnetic hypersensitivity, and still does to some degree, which was his primary motivation for learning more about it. He’s become a fount of knowledge as a result. As a software engineer in Silicon Valley in the 1990s, he was passionate about personal technology.

“I studied in Stanford. I did all kinds of human-computer interactions. I worked at multiple companies: as a troubleshooter in Silicon Valley, an engineer and a software designer at the very end. I worked at Netflix and some other companies people would know of,” he says.

In the early 2000s, problems began to take root. Fatigue and food allergies cropped up, and his children were struggling with developmental delays. He eventually realized he had toxic levels of mercury in his system.

“I eventually just took time off from work, in about 2005. I just said it’s ridiculous, with all these things going on, to have two people in the family working. I was focusing on my kids’ health and my health and really had some time and energy to really go deep and find out what was really out there.

I had a great doctor, Dr. Raj Patel … an integrative medical doctor who would talk about Candida overgrowth, mercury and all that stuff. He got us on track. Eventually, the kids slowly got better, but even after detoxing, I did not. I kept getting worse.

I got down to 131 pounds. I became electrically sensitive. My brain kept telling me, ‘All the stuff is safe and well-tested. I love technology.’ But my body was reacting like there was something really wrong. I was catching myself just throwing a cellphone away — feeling cellphones and then transformers when I plugged them in.”

He eventually learned about dirty electricity, and once he started addressing his exposure, he regained 10 pounds in a couple of months, along with his health. Today, he’s passionate about sharing information about the dangers of EMFs and dirty electricity, and how to address electromagnetic hypersensitivity.

“We’re just trying to share the information, make the field credible, because it’s very credible, and make sure people don’t have to suffer,” he says.

He even created an EMF-free tent that he brings with him to different seminars and conferences that people can sit in, as many of these events are held in places where you’re exposed to very high amounts of EMF. He’s also funded some of Herbert’s research.

Herbert’s Story
I first met Herbert at a Cure Autism Now event (now Autism Speaks) in 2009. Herbert’s two children struggled with symptoms of autism when they were young. Today, they’re both grown and have fully recovered. Her initial focus was on mercury toxicity, looking at ways of doing noninvasive screening for toxic metals.

A lifelong environmentalist, Herbert went to medical school after getting a Ph.D. in history of consciousness at the University of California Santa Cruz. She studied pediatric neurology, and fell into working with autism after inheriting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from the first MRI study performed on autistic children in 1989.

“I was one of the first people — but not the only one — to identify white matter abnormalities in autism through brain imaging, not through gray tissue,” Herbert says. “That really violated the paradigm that behavior comes from the cortex. I was already kind of a whole-body person. I was seeing patients.

[Few of them] had these rare neurogenetic diseases that you’re trained for in pediatric neurology. But everybody was coming in with diarrhea and eczema, and they couldn’t sleep. It was almost like primary care in neuropsychiatry. That’s where I sort of edged my way into the whole-body approach.

I had an epiphany in 1999 … that all the stuff I was seeing in my patients really could connect with the environment … I started putting together and figuring out that this was really a systems [biology] approach to these conditions.”

A Systems Biology Approach to Autism
Systems biology looks at everything in biology as a web, in which everything is connected to everything else. When you tug at one part of the web, the rest of the web changes. In conventional science, individual components and variables are studied in isolation. That’s how clinical research is designed.

“We’re looking for pure forms of disease. But mostly in these conditions that we’re talking about, it’s a mess,” Herbert says. “Everybody has a bunch of different [symptoms], some of which are more prominent than others. Early on in figuring out autism as a systems problem, I was looking at specific language problems or developmental language disorder.

But if you look at these people carefully, they have coordination issues … You see this subtle breakdown of the precision and fine-tuning of the brain … I finally … I found a great article about the networks in the brain that are messed up in psychiatric illnesses (not just autism but also schizophrenia, depression and so forth).

The hubs of these networks have very high-frequency gamma frequency … It turns out that this gamma frequency is driven by cells that are very high-energy demand mitochondrially centered cells …

We now have enough studies showing that the metabolic stuff going on in the brain match onto the networks going on in the brain. The proportion of network disturbance in some of these cases has been shown to be proportional to the amount of mitochondrial dysfunction.”

The Transcend Research Program
Herbert has created a brain research program at Harvard called TRANSCEND2 (Treatment, Research and Neuroscience Evaluation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders). They use MRI, magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalogram (EEG). MEG measures the magnetic activity of the brain, whereas EEG measures the electrical activity.

“When you have electrical activity, the magnetic is at 90 degrees. They measure the same thing, but in somewhat different ways,” Herbert explains. Her hypothesis is that autism is not something you’re born with. It’s something you develop in response to environmental factors.

“In order to study that, I started studying babies from the time they were in their mother’s womb. We got biosamples from the mothers. We got biosamples at birth, and then — until the mothers stopped nursing — we get biosamples from them, plus EEG and autonomic … using wristbands … to see how things deteriorated in the kids who developed autism.

What we found was something that could be interpreted in a variety of ways. We’re working on publishing this. We have EEG dated of 2-week-old babies, predicting their outcome at 13 months.

Now, I just finished saying that I think that autism is something you developed. That would sound like something you’re born with, but you can’t say that they have autism. The way I think about it is if their brains are really excited and irritated. So, it matters very much what happens [in their early environment to make them] more predisposed.”

Whole-Body Wellness Approach Can Minimize Autism Risk
Using this early predictive ability, a small number of primary care pediatricians have started implementing whole-body approaches to the parents and children, showing that when whole-body lifestyle modification is implemented, such as avoidance of toxins and allergens, virtually none of these predisposed babies actually develop autism.

“My feeling is what we need is a public health intervention where people are taught how to keep healthy from preconception to pregnancy to infancy. If they get an EEG that says that their brain is irritable, you don’t want to do a drug … You want to do safe and healthy things, because [drugs and toxins are] the problem in the first place,” Herbert says.

There are many anecdotal stories from families with autistic children suggesting EMF causes problems, and Herbert and Sullivan are working on setting up an online database to capture this data.

“That when you reduce the Wi-Fi, the symptoms abate a lot. I know a kid who was stimming like crazy. He liked to stim by the dishwasher. Guess what, there was dirty electricity in this dishwasher. They fixed it and he stopped that, and a lot of his symptoms remitted,” Herbert says.

Common Risk Factors
Essentially, Herbert believes autism can be predicted by looking at the level of brain irritability in the child. But what might contribute to this kind of irritability? Sullivan believes mercury, EMF and glyphosate are three major triggers, even more so than vaccines.

Herbert believes processed food is another major contributor. “Simply reducing allergens in the mother’s diet from preconception to pregnancy is a really big deal,” Herbert says. That said, it’s really the total load that matters, not any particular given factor.

“There are 10,000 different ways to injure mitochondria. It all piles up. All these little seemingly innocuous exposures add to the pile, so they all matter,” she says. Sullivan has created a video talk and booklet, “Simplifying Autism Improvement and Recovery,”3,4 which includes a list of suspects for parents to consider.

One big one that few people consider is de novo mutations resulting from sperm being exposed to wireless radiation from cellphones and laptops. Men desiring healthy children would do well to avoid carrying their cellphone in their pants pocket while it’s on, as the cellphone radiation can mutate the genes in the sperm. If you’re going to keep it in your pocket, make sure it’s off or in airplane mode.

Herbert is currently enrolling patients for her Child Health Inventory for Resilience and Prevention (CHIRP) study, which will gather information about the associations between the total burden of environmental stressors and exposures and chronic disease in children. If you have a child between the ages of 1 and 15, you can apply5 by filling out two prescreening questionnaires to determine your eligibility.

Most Parents Start Treatment at the Wrong End
Herbert and Sullivan have worked with autistic children and have advised parents for a long time. What are some of the common mistakes they see people make? Sullivan replies:

“People assume it’s a problem with the child. They jump in and start treating the child. They assume it’s genetic or whatever, and they’re doing behavioral therapy. The things that I would do again for myself, if I could do it all again, is I would start with the environment. I would start with EMF, especially at night.

We turn off the baby monitor, the cordless phone base station, Wi-Fi, and even sometimes the circuit breaker for the bedroom … A wired baby monitor is safe … Plug everything into a power strip. Put the strip in the wall. When you go to bed, just pull out the power strip. In the morning, plug it back in. It’s not hard. Or, put it on a timer.

I would say it’s a state of overload not just for the kids, but for the entire family … There are [many] things you need to do [to clean up your environment]. The key is in the sequence. Do the easiest things that get you the most impact.

That’s why we’re starting with EMF. Because once you reduce that, you start sleeping better, and then you start to have more capacity. You want to build a spiral of capacity. You start an upward spiral …

Martin Pall’s paper6 on the neuropsychiatric effects from microwaves and EMFs show it’s a big factor, as is sleep, because sleep and [lowering] inflammation are fundamental to good mental health.”
