By Catherine J. Frompovich
Are humankind, plus all life forms on Planet Earth, heading toward a catastrophic physiological event resulting from vested-interest businesses, industries and advertising campaigns advancing a meme that has morphed into an acknowledged addiction? That addiction, or dependency, is to microwave technology ‘smart’ gadgets and appliances which emit electromagnetic frequencies in various ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum with damaging health effects.
It must be noted that 32% of industry-sponsored EMF/RF/ELF research found non-thermal wave adverse effects, which microwave industry professional societies like ICNIRP totally disregard as non-factual, even non-existent, and does not cite them in the ‘science’ it provides to government agencies! That’s a HUGE conflict of interest, I’d say! Whereas, independent non-industry and academic research studies found 70% harmful non-thermal effects!
In the above chart, take special note of the appliances you may be using, especially one you even may not be aware of—your newly retrofitted electric, natural gas or water AMI Smart Meter, which emits EMFs/RFs from the two-way ZigBee radio that is built in to spy on you and also to control your usage of the utility, e.g., turn it off or cause a ‘brown out’. Also, that ZigBee allows the utility to monitor your usage and, in turn, sell your personal data to third parties for special marketing campaigns. “Onzo” [1] explains that. Plus, the ZigBee is run on microwave technology, so the system is very porous and prone to hacking! Did you know that?
The Physiological Aspects of EMFs/RFs
Microwave technology-run electronics can produce two types of waves: thermal and non-thermal, both of which cause harm to the human organism at various levels, especially for fetuses and small, growing children, or anyone with a health-challenge, i.e., electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) , multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), cancer, heart issues, etc.
Joel M. Moskowitz, PhD, Director of the Center for Family and Community Health, School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley, collected a ‘bibliography’ of recently-published scientific studies regarding the adverse effects of EMFs/RFs, which I think consumers ought to know about, consider seriously and take the necessary actions to ensure safety, so I’m listing them as a resource with grateful thanks to Dr Moskowitz. He titles his email as “Twenty new papers on electromagnetic fields and biology or health.”
