This is your brain on EMFs

Electromagnetic fields is what is being continuously pumped through all indoor and outdoor airspaces and all living and non-living things in those airspaces at the speed of light to constitute a near or far wireless network coverage area, and/or an active or standby wireless connection, and/or unsuccessful connection attempts by wireless-enabled devices. That's what wireless coverage areas and wireless connections are: artificially-generated electromagnetic fields.

Here again, we have The New England Journal of Medicine (link is after the next two paragraphs).

Research repeatedly confirms electromagnetic fields can alter brain and nervous system, and cause side effects and affect other areas of the body and body functions. And this is understood and considered accepted by all authorities even though the same authorities equally admit that, so far, despite several decades of research, they don't know the exact underpinning biology and mechanisms. And it's accepted that different doses and different types of doses result in various and serious effects that are always purposely doing some degree of biological damage in order to, hopefully, cause an alteration that might reduce some other pre-existing serious biological problem. Damage is always done, and successful alteration is not always achieved.

Manufacturers of wireless devices somewhere in fineprint (that most users don't read) specifically direct device users to not use these machines held against the head, to not use these machines held against the body. WHEN will people consistently listen? WHEN will authorities consistently speak? Yes, all the medical possibilities are fascinating; those are controlled situations, controlled and evaluated doses that are administered only when there is no other option BECAUSE the medical folks know that it IS dangerous to do so. Who controls and/or evaluates the doses of wireless electromagnetic fields saturating your brain and body parts (and those of your loved one) all-day and all-night every day? Firsthand and secondhand doses in most built and unbuilt environments are now continuous and, against the advice of leading scientific experts, ever increasing—increasing with legal and authoritative permission and even when resultant illness is clearly evident. Do something about your firsthand exposures—there are many non-wireless satisfactory and enjoyable and plenty convenient enough ways to connect and do life. Do something about your secondhand exposures—you wouldn't be okay with another person or a company spewing smoke at you or your loved ones, so why would you be okay with them spewing electromagnetic fields at you? Of course your conscious reaction may be that the smoke is unpleasant, but what does unpleasant mean? You may cough, your eyes might bother you, you might feel nauseous, and maybe you'll become ill from carcinogens in the smoke—those are all biological reactions that happen caused by the presence of the smoke. The presence of electromagnetic fields also causes biological reactions.

"Although the biology and mechanisms underpinning DBS therapy remain unclear, we now know that normal human brain function is largely mediated through rhythmic oscillations that continuously repeat. These oscillations can change and modulate, ultimately affecting cognitive, behavioral, and motor function. If an oscillation goes bad, it can cause a disabling tremor or other symptom .... Rogue brain circuits stuck in states of abnormal oscillation in many diseases have become candidates for DBS therapy. Changes in neurophysiology, neurochemistry, neurovascular structures, and neurogenesis may also underpin the benefits of DBS therapy."

"... DBS has had an enormous effect on the treatment of Parkinson's disease. It has also been used to treat essential tremor, dystonia, and epilepsy and in experimental treatments of obsessive–compulsive disorder, depression, Alzheimer's disease, and Tourette's syndrome ...."

"Thanks in large part to the contributions of two extraordinary scientists, we have entered the era of human neural-network modulation."

Petition against CELL TOWERS AT 73 SCHOOLS in Washington DC area needs you

A Washington, DC suburb in the U.S. -- Prince George's County in the state of Maryland -- is organizing to stop a cell tower deal to site towers at 73 schools in the County. They also are about to upgrade the wireless infrastructure in all the schools now that they enacted a Bring-Your-Own-Device policy and are adding more access points inside every building.

This group will really push the issue, hoping to spotlight it especially because it's in the Washington, DC area.

They have a website:
www.safeschoolspg.org

And a petition:
www.change.org/petitions/dr-maxwell-and-pgps-board-stop-cell-towers-from-being-erected-on-prince-george-s-county-school-property

Please sign the petition that already has over 800 -- the more signatures, the more media coverage. This group is about to start a huge campaign, and if they can get over 1,000 signatures it will help move some mountains. If they get signatures from all over the world it shows the international support and adds a lot to their efforts.

Please consider signing the petition and passing along this information and request to other people.

Paying for the right to make kids RMOs (radiation-modified organisms)

What is it that's going on? Is there some socio-cultural trend for decision-makers to purposely WANT to be recognized and revered as members of some cult equivalent to flat-Earth believers? In the year 2014, for any person to claim regarding chronic or acute wireless radiation exposures “I’ve read the research and I understand there are no real health issues" shows very much a lack of understanding and/or lack of modern facts. That quote is from a recent news article about a contract for installing cell towers on school property at dozens of schools in a U.S. county.

Oh, the person making the claim is a representative of the cell tower company. (Do I have to say it: Duh?!)

And why do media outlets continue to let such falsehoods repeatedly be in their reporting? Is this yet another example of a trend away from "truth in reporting" if something other than truth sells newspapers, subscriptions, or advertising?

Were English comprehension skills (i.e., ability to read and understand the published research studies or at least the Abstracts, Conclusions, or expert commentaries about the studies) not taught properly in the school system to the people who are now making these non-informed claims and the decisions based on them? Or are these people's English comprehension skills rusty?

Or is it that people who are entrusted with the safety and wellbeing and nurturing of children couldn't be bothered to actually READ about stuff that does directly and every day impact the health, safety, and wellbeing of the kids entrusted to them? There are thousands of research studies and plenty of them report findings of adverse biological effects, so it's a fact that none of these claimants has read and/or understood "the research". Plus, if there were no real health issues, why are more and more research studies being conducted and published every month with also plenty of them finding adverse biological effects?

I'm not a parent and I'm not a grandparent. I cannot fathom how any parent or grandparent (or anyone interested in the indoor and outdoor environment at schools) could decide that it's okay to continuously dose everyone in a school, all day every day of their school lives, with more of ANY type of artificial electromagnetic radiation pollution. We're all supposed to be cutting down on firsthand and secondhand exposures to this stuff, not increasing the exposures and not cramming more of this type of radiation emissions into kids' bodies. And to decide that money will change hands for the right to do that to kids is something beyond disgusting.

If you think this isn't planned for your school or other schools in your community, maybe you better ask to make sure AND to insist that it never happens.

Too much of a "good" thing

The progressive way to use technology is to do it in a way that does not increase risk to health of humans and the environment. When any technology's use grows in such a way that ongoing increased risk to human or environmental health results, then that technology is no longer a technological advance, and it becomes the opposite of progress. Knowledge that there is ongoing increased risk requires that everyone actively encourage reduction in use of that technology, increased use of safer existing technology, and perhaps development of newer safer technology. Opting to instead encourage the status quo and stifle public awareness of risk is, at the very least, irresponsible. Opting to further and knowingly increase risk by encouraging increasing the use of the now unprogressive technology is inhumane, absurd, and grossly irresponsible. What are advances in technology? Isn't the root goal that hopefully they advance our lives? I certain don't want the definition of the word "advance" in the phrase "advance our lives" to be that the end of your life, my life, or anyone else's life is on an advanced timeline that ends sooner!

A perfect example of a technology that began as an advance and has become unprogressive is our present-day method of wireless one-way and two-way communications. In 2014, there are enumerable electricity-gobbling wireless connections and coverage areas that are at every moment and at ultra-high speeds multiply flooding into every nook and cranny of our indoor and outdoor airspaces—both everywhere we are and everywhere we aren't, and regardless whether or not any person or machine is using them. The invisible connections and coverage areas exist only because machines were invented that can consume the type of non-ionizing radiation called electricity (that we restrict inside wires and batteries), transform it into another type of non-ionizing radiation called radiofrequency, and spew that out in engineered densities to fill volumes of air. Engineers will tell you that radiofrequency energy cannot alter a living human; medical authorities will tell you that medical experts use radiofrequency radiation to purposely physically alter a human body or its functioning in cases where the medical expert feels some certainty or strong hope that the alteration will result in a benefit that outweighs risks.

Wireless communication radiation is an active polluter of our indoor and outdoor air; it isn't a by-product of some other activity. Millions or billions of times per second, and relentlessly, this radiation pollution floods into all our indoor and outdoor airspaces. This artifically-generated radiation enters into machines via specific engineered pathways, and the machines are programmed to react to the presence of this radiation in specific ways. The problem is that this artificially-generated radiation also enters any and all parts of a living body, not via specific pathways; and living bodies are born programmed to react to natural forms of this type of radiation, and in fact our survival depends on that always present natural radiation. So each moment that the artificially-generated radiation is entering a living body—at any and every area of the body that is being swamped—is some degree of radiation-overload. With such dense and relentless radiation-overloads, in each moment and/or over time, microscopic parts of a living body, or a living body as a whole, is undergoing these overloads and reacting to it. The point being that because that artificial radiation is relentlessly entering your body, your body must perform zillions more reactions than if that artificial radiation wasn't there. This is relentlessly onerous physical work for anyone's body—physical stress added to your body over and over and over again during every moment you're awake or asleep, at every moment you're alive.

Whose decision is it to continue to not encourage, and even further to discourage, the spread of common beneficial habits such as powering off personal wireless gear and networks when they are not in use? The waste of electricity, especially when everyone is asleep, is absurd. To want to inundate your own or anyone else's body with radiation pollution continuously while sleeping is also absurd. Further absurdity is to want to pay the price of the electricity and to want to pay it in order to needlessly irradiate your body and everyone else's while you're sleeping. All wireless connections are users generating both firsthand and secondhand radiation exposures, controllable by the user; all controllable coverage areas (indoors and outdoors; personal, private, and public) are sources of secondhand exposures, sometimes controllable by the user; other and bigger scale coverage areas and infrastructure are sources of secondhand exposures. Secondhand exposures are to users, non-users, and the environment.

So far, it is intended that these radiation pollution emissions be maximized to fill as much volume of air as possible and in unlimited numbers of overlapping densities. So far, there seems to be intention to maximize firsthand and secondhand exposures to this radiation for humans and the environment. This is now the opposite of progress. Continued use of this technology is irresponsible. Stifling public awareness of what "wireless" actually is in regard to firsthand and secondhand exposures is irresponsible. Expanding its use is the opposite of progress and is beyond irresponsible.

21st century poet speaks

eThoughts

I'm so bored of my ceaseless mortality

I'm so bored of my tireless humanity

Weariness already weighs on my shoulders

Indifference has seeped into my marrow

My blood thick with static

I'm sick to my stomach of this constructed realism

Of these plasticized people we are fed

My mouth is constantly sour

My ears are full

Check the checkbox it won't check itself

As we are sold

A hundred different ways to fake genuineness

And I'm tired

Tired tired

These constants need to cease

These ceaseless constants need to change

I want the earthy crush of dirt between my teeth

And the brutal roughness

Of grit and stones and sand lined fingernails

What happened to flaws? And all the filthy realness that came with them?

Dragged and dropped into the trash

With the rest of our human experience

Suckled on outlets and incubated by wires

Such a thin brew we are fed so young

But who cares? Who needs it.

Reality is for suckers.

There's probably an app for it by now
