History of 5G and what people should know

The 1996 Communication Act gave the telecom industry freedom to move forward in the development and installation of cell towers. The act also provided protection so that the industry could not be challenged on esthetics, placement, and health issues.

Since that time the telecom industry has aggressively moved forward by initiating House Bills to further restrict the constitutional land rights of cities and counties regarding 5G. In 2017 House Bill HB 17-1193 was passed in Colorado to come into compliance with the federal laws. Currently there are House Bills HR 1060, 1069 and 1074 along with numerous additional House bills initiated by the telecom industry to diminish our remaining rights to contest the deployment of small cell antennas facilities in our communities.

What exactly is 5G? 5G stands for fifth generation wireless communication. It would enable what’s known as “The Internet of Things.” The industry is making claims that the new technology will be faster. However, the actual speed, energy consumption, and safety is being challenged.

How is 5G different from what we have now? 5G networks include a combination of a range and variety of signals. 4G “small cell” networks will be the backbone of 5G, and the new 5G antennas will be mounted on poles with current 4G antennas. New cell phones and devices will have multiple antennas that can toggle back and forth between these technologies.

The differences between 5G technology compared to 2G, 3G, & 4G is that it employs millimetre wave technology, which are narrow wave lengths. These are the same frequencies used by the Department of Defense in crowd dispersal gun control weapons, called Active Denial Systems.

But is 5G really safe? For the past two decade there has been a growing concern and movement around the world regarding the effects of EMFs Cell towers, 5G, and satellites to humans, animals, insects and the environment. Many countries have said “no” after their citizens experienced immediate health issues upon installation of 5G.

There are thousands of studies that have proven EMF exposure is dangerous and that close proximity to cell towers has been linked to many health issues, including cancers.

There are no studies that 5G is safe. When representatives of the telecom companies were questioned in US senate hearings as to whether there were any safety studies performed, their answers were that there are none.

Based upon the inadequate safety standards, the FCC (Federal Communication Commission) appears to act in the interest of the telecom industry more so than the consumer. Currently the Children Health Defense and the Environment Health Trust, two well respected non-profit, are in lawsuits against the FCC for not updating EMF safety standards for the past 25 years. The same standards are being applied to 5G.

In 2019 a group in the state of New York called the Irregulators sued the telecom carriers for misappropriating billions of dollars in taxes which were collected over a 16-year time frame. A decision was made in favor of the Irregulators.

One of Telecom strategies has been to recruit lawyers to be experts in laws pertaining to the FCC. Unfortunately, many of these lawyers have a loyalty to the telecom industry. They often give advice that communities are powerless in stopping 5G. This is not accurate. There are many communities in the US and around the world who are in the process of either stopping or delaying 5G until long- and short-term safety studies are provided.

If 5G is allowed to be installed, there will be no choice of opting out. We will be bathed in these electromagnetic frequencies on a 24/7/365 basis. This level of EMF saturation has been shown to be harmful to all living things.

Another negative consequence of 5G is the probability of your property value being lowered if a cell tower is installed on your land or rooftop. Since 5G EMF waves are short, the cell towers need to be installed every 500 – 1000 feet.

Cell Tower

EMFs:

  1. Attack our nervous systems including our brains leading to widespread neurological/neuropsychiatric effects and possibly many other effects. This nervous system attack is of great concern.
  2. Attack our endocrine (that is hormonal) systems. In this context, the main things that make us functionally different from single celled creatures are our nervous system and our endocrine systems – even a simple planaria worm needs both of these. Thus, the consequences of the disruption of these two regulatory systems is immense, such that it is a travesty to ignore these findings.
  3. Produce oxidative stress and free radical damage, which have central roles in essentially all chronic diseases.
  4. Attack the DNA of our cells, producing single strand and double strand breaks in cellular DNA and oxidized bases in our cellular DNA. These in turn produce cancer and also mutations in germ line cells which produce mutations in future generations.
  5. Produce elevated levels of apoptosis (programmed cell death), events especially important in causing both neurodegenerative diseases and infertility.
  6. Lower male and female fertility, lower sex hormones, lower libido and increased levels of spontaneous abortion and, as already stated, attack the DNA in sperm cells.
  7. Produce excessive intracellular calcium [Ca2+] and excessive calcium signaling.
  8. Attack the cells of our bodies to cause cancer. Such attacks are thought to act via 15 different mechanisms during cancer causation.

There is also a substantial literature showing that EMFs are associated with other effects including

  • life threatening cardiac effects.
  • very early onset dementias, including Alzheimer’s, digital and other types of dementias
  • EMF exposures in utero and shortly after birth may cause ADHD and autism

Somewhat dismayed by this attack on my beloved computer and cell phone, I arrived back home, turned on new Safe and Sound Pro R meter for testing Wi-Fi microwaves and walked into my home office.  The device immediately began buzzing as it measured EMF frequencies in the Moderate and High range. As I got closer to my computer, the device seemed to scream with Extreme levels, far beyond EMF industry “safety” standards, which, by the way, haven’t been updated since 1996, and are based on short term exposure to ONE device.  And, my wife and I bathe in this microwave (as in Microwave Oven) frequency every night as our bedroom is on the other side of the wall from my home office.

In this newsletter, I will present some of the Conference research so you can make your own decision. Your health and that of your family depends is riding on what you decide.  I also want to reassure you that you do not have to give up your cell phone or computer.  You just need to use them, probably less, but in a safe manner which reduces the exposure to wi-fi and other EMF energies in your home.

HOW EMFS AFFECT EACH ONE OF YOUR CELLS

Scientists have discovered that EMFs from cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, and cell towers activate countless microscopic sensors that are found on the surface of every one of your 70 trillion cells.

When these “voltage sensors” are exposed to foreign EMF signals, your cells get tricked into allowing large amounts of calcium to flow inside…

Normally, calcium is a healthy mineral — but too much calcium inside the cell is the equivalent of pouring gas on a fire and triggers a range of negative health effects.

Put simply, EMFs are an added stress to every single cell in your body — whether you personally feel EMF-related symptoms or not.

Just like you probably opt to eat whole, natural foods as free of toxic pesticides as possible… aiming to minimize your personal EMF exposure is a great action step for your health.

In his 2013 groundbreaking paper, Dr. Martin Pall has shown that extremely low levels of EMFs can activate the cells’ voltage gated calcium channels, leading to 14 distinct downstream biological effects such as oxidative stress, DNA breaks, melatonin depletion, infertility and cancer.
