Wifi in schools, smart meters, phone masts and autism – a round up

20/03/2017 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  1 Comment

Thanks to the many excellent people around the world working to raise awareness of the possible hazards of excessive electromagnetic radiation, I receive a fairly constant stream of links to events, campaigns and news. I realise that not all of you are as invested in the subject as I am but some of you might want to take at least a brief look at some of the following….

Could electromagnetic frequencies cause autism? A presentation in June 2015 by Dr. Martin Pall suggests that they could. See here for the slides – and here for his presentation on You Tube.

Smart meters can give false readings that are up to 582% higher than actual energy consumption. Research from the University of Amsterdam suggest that whatever about bathing you in wifi, some smart meters can also dramatically– and incorrectly – raise your bills!  Read more…

Cyprus removes wifi from kindergartens and severely limits its use in elementary schools since wired internet access is available in all classrooms. Wifi may only be used with specific parental consent. The Cyprus National Committee on Environment and Child Health also initiated a nationwide campaign several years ago to raise awareness about cell phone and wireless radiation exposures to children. Read more….

Hong Kong  residents are calling on the government to tighten regulations and standards for electromagnetic radiation, claiming to be adversely affected by such radiation from rooftop telecommunications transmitters.

‘Pastor Mike Liu was shocked when his younger sister was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour at the age of 30 in 2012. She died just a year later as the cancer was aggressive. He was dealt two furtherblows – his father was diagnosed and later died of oesophageal cancer in 2015, and his mother was diagnosed with early stage lung cancer a year later. Liu claimed this was no coincidence. He blamed it on transmitters, which reside on the roof of the family home, a Tenants Purchase Scheme estate in Sheung Shui. Half of the 24 sets installed at the estate are above their unit on the 27th floor, the top level.

Democratic Party lawmaker Andrew Wan Siu-kin says the government is “gambling with lives” by doing nothing to address such concerns. Some residents complain of chronic headaches and poor sleep, while others highlight weaker immune systems and irregular blood pressure after the stations were installed.’ Read more…

    There appears to be some anecdotal evidence that the effects of electro magnetic radiation on biological systems vary with frequency and that – for the human microbiome – some frequencies are considerably more toxic than others. This is perhaps an area where further research is urgently justified.

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

FreeFrom Christmas Awards – the Winners

Since they were launched two years ago the FreeFrom Christmas Awards have been a great success. And how lucky are ‘freefrom-ers’ these days!  From Advent calendars to gifts, party food to Christmas dinner, there is no longer any need for them to miss out. Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
