Glasses and EMFs

Image
Image from Swissflex Eyewear In our electropolluted environment, the metal used in most glasses frames can be a real problem, as it acts as an antenna, attracting EMFs towards the eyes and the head, and leading to various issues. Here’s my experience of getting a pair of all-plastic glasses frames to deal with this problem... (Disclaimer: This post is not an ‘infommercial’, but just a record of my own experience in obtaining a pair of all-plastic glasses frames, which people may find useful. Other companies offering metal-free glasses may also be available). I used to wear a pair of glasses that had mostly plastic frames, apart from metal hinges, and a short metal strengthening rod in both arms. Although the frames weren’t completely made out of metal, or didn’t have metal strengthening rods along the whole of the arms, wearing them still seemed to cause headaches. Which, given the ever - increasing amount of electrosmog in our environment, probably shouldn't come as a surprise. I...

Protect plants and animals from 5G Millimeter Wave ('mmWave') Radiation.

Image
  Ofcom, the UK's wireless communications regulator, aims to : ' ...make mmWave spectrum available for new uses by 2024'. It initially wants to make two millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency bands available to support 5G: 26 GHz and 40 GHz. Currently, UK mobile services operate at considerably lower frequencies than these . We don't yet know how saturating the environment with 5G mmWave radiation will affect the health of humans. The reviews that have been carried out note that high quality science on mmWave radiation just doesn't exist yet. We do have a large body of science concerning existing frequencies that we are exposing ourselves to (from 2G, 3G, 4G, lower 5G bands, Wi-Fi, smart meters, etc.), and here, according to many independent scientists , the news isn't good. As far as flora and fauna are concerned, we have even less science to tell us if rolling out 5G mmWave radiation across the country may result in catastrophic ecological damage. A s is always ...

Concerned parents challenge 5G mast by school

Image
  Judicial Review papers were filed on Friday 10th September, challenging the decision of Brighton and Hove City Council (B&HCC) to grant planning permission for a 5G mast, which would be situated next to St. Peter's Primary School in Portslade (please see pictures below). B&HCC has been given two weeks to reverse its decision, otherwise the legal case will proceed to court. During the course of the planning application for this 5G mast, the height of the structure was reduced from 20 metres to 15 metres, which would bring the radiofrequency radiation emitted by the mast even closer to the classrooms. This was done without the telecoms company providing a new certificate showing compliance to the safety guidelines, and without any radiation exclusion zones being declared to the council planners. When calculated by an independent engineer, the unsafe radiation zones were found to intersect with the school buildings. Many planning applications are being made across the coun...

EMF sceptic now in key UK radiation committee

Image
  Back in 2019, the BBC broadcast a programme called Health: Truth or Scare, which included a segment that dismissed claims that wireless radiation is harmful (see my blog post ' Mobile Phones: BBC Bias ' ). One of the BBC's chosen experts was Professor Malcom Sperrin, Director of the Department of Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust (or Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, depending on whichever website you look at). This is what he said in this programme:  " There's no evidence that suggests you should worry". Professor Sperrin's name now appears in the membership list of COMARE (Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment), which advises the UK Government on 'the health effects of natural and man-made radiation, both ionising and non-ionising'. COMARE has been attempting to recruit 'a radiation scientist with interest in non-ionising radiation' for quite some time, as can be s...

5G Scientist Prof. Alexander Lerchl Guilty of False EMF Study Allegations

Image
  Professor Alexander Lerchl, who is leading a study examining the effects of 5G on human cells (funded by the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection), has been found guilty by the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court of Bremen of disseminating false allegations about the results of the 2004 REFLEX EMF study. Professor Lerchl has to bear the costs of the legal proceedings... (Below is an auto-translation of an article published by Diagnose:Funk on 28th January 2021 - please see the original article for links) The Hanseatic Higher Regional Court of Bremen sentenced Professor Alexander Lerchl to withdraw his falsification allegation against the REFLEX study  Text of the judgment and report by Prof. Adlkofer The final judgment was made in December 2020: The falsification claims against the REFLEX study may no longer be repeated. In other words: the results of the REFLEX study from 2004 that cell phone radiation has a genotoxic potential are correct. We document ...

"Just the facts [about 5G], ma'am..."

Image
  We are bombarded on a daily basis with 5G propaganda, both in terms of breathless, gushing articles extolling the virtues of the nascent technology (and of the necessity of 'winning the race' to saturate our respective countries with 5G coverage), and also of articles condemning - often in the most strident and offensive terms - those 'conspiracy theorists' and 'Luddites' who urge precaution in our adoption of the next generation of possibly carcinogenic technologies. Indeed, President Macron of France recently compared such people to the Amish. I was confronted by an article in the Guardian this morning, reporting on the recent results of a study from the director of the 'Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab', Dr Sander van der Linden, who is a 'Social Psychologist', and also 'co-convener of the Cambridge Special Interest Group on Disinformation and Media Literacy': Poor numerical literacy linked to greater susceptibility to Covid-19 f...

BOOK: The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life

Image
The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life, by Arthur Firstenberg This book, written by Arthur Firstenberg in 2017, is one of the definitive texts on electrosensitivity, in all of its different shapes and forms. The 'Invisible Rainbow' of the title refers to electricity and the electromagnetic spectrum, most of which is completely invisible to humans, apart from a tiny portion of it which we can perceive as visible light; the colours of the rainbow. Just as most of the electromagnetic spectrum cannot be seen with the naked eye, so it seems that 'electrosensitivity' is invisible to most non-sufferers. Symptoms arising from chronic exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and radiation in the environment are probably experienced by most, if not all, people, and yet - officially - these harmful effects don't even exist, or else they are given to different causes. As well as writing this book in 2017, Arthur Firstenberg has l...
