Most of the damage done by digital telecommunications is not due to heating but by the electrical effect their pulsating signals have on living tissues, which occurs at much lower energy levels.

The human body can act as an antenna and the signals make electric currents flow through it in time with the pulsations. It is this that does the bulk of the damage by destabilising the delicate membranes that surround each cell and also divide it into internal compartment such as mitochondria (the energy factories of the cell) and the lysosomes (the cell’s recycling factories).

All of these membranes are just two molecules thick and have a similar basic structure. They are liquid crystals, made largely of negatively charged molecules (which repel one another) stabilised by divalent positive ions (mostly calcium) that sit in between them by mutual attraction and hold them together like mortar holds together the bricks in a wall.

Worldwide, a rapidly increasing number of people are becoming sensitive to the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by cell phone towers, cell phones, WiFi,

WiMax, TETRA2, Smart Meters, etc. In fact, several European scientists have predicted that by 2017, 50% of the population may be electro-sensitive (ES) 3.

If you experience any of the following "unexplained" symptoms, you may in fact be unknowingly exhibiting the symptoms of ES yourself:

•Headaches •Nausea •Brain Fog •Memory Problems • Fatigue

•Dizziness •Insomnia

•Heart Pain/Palpitations •Swollen Lymph Nodes

•Intestinal Disturbances •Eye Pain •Dry Eyes •Vision Problems

•Night Sweats •Excessive Thirst

•Increased Allergies/Sensitivities

It has been found and scientifically demonstrated that technological radiation disturbs the normal functioning of our cells. One mechanism for this that has been investigated by Dr Andrew Goldsworthy is an imbalance in cellular calcium metabolism.

Goldworthy says that "the human body has evolved to cope with many environmental stresses, but if we change those stresses, as we have done by our exposure to microwave based telecommunications, we are entering uncharted territory. Many things can go wrong in addition to gene damage. We have identified some (see http://mcs-america.org/june2008pg6789101112131415161718192021.pdf ) but there are doubtless many more".

Our cells and their complex interrelated functions can be unbalanced by a wrong type of resonance. It has been suggested that the huge world wide increase, in recent years, in cases of autism, may have something to do with the constant exposure to this radiation that is present practically everywhere in the civilized world today ( see Could Cell Phone Radiation be a Cause of Autism? ).

Digital communications technology is rigged to transmit information in precisely timed "packets". The packet transmission protocol adopted for GSM cell phone technology sets up a frequency of 216.637781 Hertz or approximately 216 cycles per second, while the ever present alternating current that runs our household appliances is pulsed at 50, and in some areas of the planet at 60, cycles per second. Close enough to entrain and thereby disturb frequencies followed by living organisms.

But what then are the natural frequencies that keep our lives and our cells in balance? Faith Dyson says she discovered that living organisms follow a set of frequencies that vary between day and night, and that range from one to 12 cycles per second. Applying what she discovered to her own life, acting on that knowledge, Faith says she has successfully cured her twin sons of autism. She physically moved to an environment where she could eliminate those technological frequencies from her family's lives.

This may not be possible for most of us though. So what to do?

I believe we can find a way to eliminate the damaging component (the lower pulse frequencies) from the technological radiation we use. In the case of telephone technology, this could mean a new protocol that randomizes packet transmission so that no repeating pattern is set up. Without an associated frequency in the lower Hertz band, the microwave radiation emitted by mobile phones and towers could simply melt into the background, no doubt adding to its volume but unable to entrain any living biological tissues.

Then perhaps the current exposure limits could make sense - keep microwave levels well below the heating or ionization threshold. What is missing today is any and all attention to the lower end of frequency modulations. Both government regulators and industry are convinced that all that matters about radiation is its heating effect.

With an impassioned plea, Faith Dyson reminds us how important the question of frequencies is for our overall health, both mental and physical.

We are told that as long as radiation is not ionizing, it is not destructive to cells and can therefore do no harm to human and animal physiology. The whole idea of exposure limits is based on this knowledge and a huge increase in communications related technological radiation in the microwave band has been built up in the last few decades. A period of time that also coincides with a huge increase in autism and related developmental disorders.

The connection escapes both industry and the authorities that are supposed to watch that those technological developments are not harmful to human health. What if they are wrong? What if there is a mechanism by which technological radiation, even below the threshold where it becomes ionizing and starts heating up tissues, can influence physiology?

Andrew Goldsworthy believes that there is such a mechanism. Those low intensity, pulsed, electromagnetic emissions that have grown into a veritable crescendo in the last few decades do indeed disturb the communication of cells - and specifically the neurons of a developing brain. 

Is there a solution?

While Goldsworthy, in his excellent article, suggests a plausible mechanism for how the damage is done, what about a solution. Can we do anything - short of turning back the clock of progress in mobile communication - to make the technology compatible with human health? I believe there is.

With high probability, it is not the presence of radiation as such that is damaging. We have been exposed to natural background radiation for millions of years. What is different now is the addition of what I call the AC/DC effect . 

It has been found that the effect of radiation on calcium channels of cells is not only present in mobile phone and other wireless communication technology, but also in technical radiation emanating from power lines and household appliances. 

The common denominator between the two is a low frequency pulsing of the field. I call it the AC/DC effect because it isn't present in direct current, but it is in alternating current, where electricity is pulsed at a constant 50 and in some areas 60 cycles per second. In communications technologies, the effect isn't present in analog (old time radio and TV, and first generation mobile phone) technology, but it is present in digital mobile technologies. The constant pulse rate in digital communications is what's called a "packet frequency". Information is not transmitted in a constant stream but in little packets of data, about 200 every second, which establishes a constant 200 cycles per second on/off frequency, something cells can "feel" and can react to. 

Randomizing the low frequency pulsing

Admittedly this is somewhat speculative, but if the effect on cellular calcium channels is present in radiation that is pulsed at low frequencies, and if it is only effective in certain windows of amplitude (as explained by Goldsworthy below) then it would make sense that the effect could be eliminated if we were to randomize the packet frequency of transmission. Packets of information transmitted at random intervals would not form a low frequency on/off signal recognizable by living cells. The technological radiation would still be present, but it could blend into the background. True, we'd still have the problem of having a much "louder" background noise of electromagnetic frequencies, but at least there would not be a constant low frequency component that is recognizable by cells and that could disturb their working order.

If you are working in mobile communications, I would like to hear from you, whether you think that such randomization of the signal would be technically possible. Also, if you have access to some of the bigwigs in that field ... tell them about the idea of randomized packet frequencies in mobile communication. Let's see if this cannot be turned around before it is too late. We are already losing a whole generation. Let's not lose our future. 

Regulators Ignore Health Impact

as EMF Radiation Invades Canada

by Helke Ferrie

Vitality, April 2011

"The good news is that many of these EMF diseases may be preventable by simple environmental manipulation, if society chooses to pay attention. Unless public outrage intervenes, I am afraid that our 'diseases of civilization' will get worse. Good science is not enough to force sensible public policy. Only citizens can do that."

Dr. Samuel Milham in Dirty Electricity, 2010

"This device emits electromagnetic radiation, exposure to which may cause brain cancer. Users, especially pregnant women and children, should keep it away from the head and body."

Currently proposed legislation for cell phones: Bill LD 1014, sponsored by Legislator Andrea Boland in Maine, USA.

Ignorance may or may not be bliss, but one thing is certain: it is very profitable. According to Buddhism, all suffering derives from ignorance, and it rarely hurts until it is too late; ignorance keys into the addictive potential in all of us and, thereby, allows somebody to make a huge pile of money on enslavement.

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive." -- C.S. Lewis

Psychiatry's "shock doctrine" is quite literally electroshock, and its latest victims are - I'm not kidding - young children.

On January 25, 2009, the Herald Sun, based in Melbourne, Australia, reported, "Children younger than four who are considered mentally disturbed are being treated with controversial electric shock treatment." In Australia, the use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is increasing, and the Herald Sun's report on "Child Shock Therapy" stated that last year "statistics record 203 ECT treatments on children younger than 14 -- including 55 aged four and younger."

Ultrasound is extremely damaging to the health of any unborn child (fetus). The natural health community has been warning about ultrasound for years, but mainstream medicine, which consistently fails to recognize the harm it causes, insists ultrasound is perfectly safe and can't possibly harm the health of a fetus.

Now, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is funding a project that aims to temporarily sterilize men by blasting their scrotums with ultrasound. The burst of ultrasound energy, it turns out, disrupts the normal biological function of the testes, making the man infertile for six months.

Ultrasound, in other words, contains enough energy to temporarily deaden the testes and basically destroy sperm function for half a year. So why is it considered "safe" to blast an unborn baby with the same frequencies?

I would like to thank Paul Doyon, a teacher who is electrosensitive and who campaigns for a safer environment - less polluted by technological electromagnetic waves, who found this important interview. This is an interview with Barrie Trower, a retired British military intelligence scientist, who for years worked in microwave and stealth warfare.

The talk is about the physical dangers of electromagnetic radiation as it is emitted by our mobile phones and the wireless phones in homes, as well as the fairly more recent wireless computer networks and link-ups of various devices in homes - WIFI.

Mobile phone antenna on Terceira island - by Sepp

Here is what Paul adds by way of introduction:

I would like to confirm that France is really actually taking all their WiFi systems out of their schools. Does anyone actually have confirmation of this?

BT: Uhm...I saw quite a large delegation from France a few years ago, and not just down to me, but they obviously took heed of what I said and went off and checked a few things, but, we know now in France, I'll have it published, that they are pulling wi fi out of every single French school, on health grounds.

If this is indeed true, it is an important statement with regards to the dangers imposed by WiFi systems.

You can listen to the interview here and you can also read the transcript below.

This is first hand evidence by someone who has worked in the field of microwaves and who decided to blow the whistle to try and make the technology more human-friendly ...

Congratulations! You've reclaimed your personal space. The headaches signaling destruction of your brain cells have ceased after you finally ditched your portable phones, cell phone, Bluetooth and wireless routers and disabled your wireless laptop, Kindle and iPad. And everyone on your block's resting easier after stopping that new cell tower from going in down the street.

Bees, Birds and Mankind - Destroying Nature by 'Electrosmog'
is an extremely important brochure that has been composed and sponsored by the Competence Initiative, an alliance of scientists and medical doctors who are concerned with electromagnetic pollution of our environment. The negative impact of cellphone technology on insects and birds is posing an extremely grave risk on the environmental health of the planet. Human beings are not immune. Several mechanisms of damage are known in Medicine. Cellphone technology was never safety tested and now both animals and humans around the world are paying the consequences of this criminal neglect sponsored by the World Health Organization and the ICNIRP (the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection).

This one is a long read at over 40 pages, but it is the best compilation of the science regarding radiation damage to insects, birds and mammals I have yet seen. Explains the problem in layman's terms but also provides all the scientific references for who wants to delve deeper into the rabbit hole.
