Just Say No to Big Brother’s Smart Meters by Orlean Koehle
1. How much radiation does a person receive from MRIs? Is that harmful to the body? They were not sure. Perhaps one could get an EMF meter and check it out.
2. What about mammograms? Some believe the radiation from them is harmful and could actually be contributing to the increased risk for breast cancer.
3. What about radiation from Lap top computers? They should not be placed on laps or close to bodies. Just as cell phones should not be carried in pockets. All the radiation that a person is exposed to is having a cumulative effect and could be the reason there is such a low sperm count in men and low fertility rate.
4. What can we do to protect our own health? We need to focus on the EMF rays close to each of us and try to eliminate them.
Panel III – Underappreciated Risks – Schools, Cell Towers, Dirty Electricity, Smart Meters: Presenters were: Magda Havas, PhD (already written about in Panel 1). She is author of “BRAG Antenna Ranking of Schools Report,” which teaches schools how to access radiation risk from neighborhood cell towers and antennas and educates on minimizing microwave radiation in schools generally. She is co-author of “Public Health SOS: The Shadow Side of the Wireless Revolution,” widely distributed to educate governments and the media of the biological effect of microwave radiation; Sam Millham, MD, MPH, retired physician-epidemiologist, Washington State Department of Health, author of Dirty Electricity: Electrification and the Diseases of Civilization; Elizabeth Kelly, MA, Founder of Electromagnetic Safety Alliance, Inc. and Moderator Camilla Reese, MBA, founder of
ElectromagneticHealth.org., Campaign for Radiation Free Schools and the EMF Help Blog and co-author of Public Health SOS.

weighted exposure.” The longer the exposure, the more serious the health effects. Wi-Fi is constant emitted radiation.
The results showed that all of the radiation emitted is “time- Pulsed radiation (such as that of Smart Meters) is actually more
harmful. She told of studies done on rats. The more the exposure to EMF the more their immune systems were effected and the rate of cancer went up. She told of parents in Ontario, Canada, who suspected that the Wi-Fis used at the public schools were making their children sick. Parents are pulling their children out and homeschooling to get away from them. Children and teachers are getting sick with both thermal and non-thermal radiation. They are reporting headaches, dizziness, nausea, difficulty thinking. She also mentioned how harmful putting the computer was on your lap. It is exposing boy’s testicles and girl’s ovaries to radiation. In studies done of blood, it has been shown that use of wireless phones for ten minutes has caused the blood platelets to clump together. She spoke about cell phone antennas. The number of them and where they are can be found at
www.antennasearch.com. She told of her “BRAG Antenna School Study” which told of 6,140 schools in 50 state capitol cities (plus Washington D.C.) and how close the schools were to cell towers. Fifty percent of the schools are in a “cautionary mode,” while ten percent are in a “dangerous mode.” For example, Boston has 747 antennas, many of which are very close to public schools. She calls this a microwave tsunami. The health risks are enormous. 2. Dr. Sam Millham, spoke about his book Dirty Electricity: Electrification and the Diseases of Civilization. He mentioned various diseases that he believes are being caused by EMF: cancer, breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, suicide, looming epidemics of lymphatic leukemia, so much cancer in young children. You don’t see any of these diseases in countries without electricity nor do you see these diseases among the Amish in our own country, because the Amish refuse to allow any electricity in their villages. He also told of the high rate of leukemia and brain cancers in electrical workers. He showed a graph of the rate of leukemia in cities verses those still on farms from 1920 to 1950. He believes
