humans are an ambitious thing we feel
the need to always move forward in
regards to technology we are but as is
the way with most things our desire for
innovation comes at a price because
karma lives in all things these
environmental and justices are protested
by the world rightfully so what if
another form of pollution existed that
was invisible to us
would it be more difficult to notice its
effects what enough people care before
it was seemingly too late
[Music]
the biggest danger from cellphone by far
and away is texting and driving it has
nothing to do with current estimates
gauged that just north of five billion
persons have a cell phone using apps
that send and receive electromagnetic
radiation who are anymore you can't see
it all here it electro magnetic
radiation this form of radiation occurs
naturally on our planet but with the
rapid advancement in wireless technology
some experts claim the proliferation of
man-made artificial anymore is dangerous
to human health these are the common
symptoms that people start to experience
this is actually from a published paper
on the health effects of wireless smart
meters as speaking now as a biologist in
this position was not designed to deal
with the explosion of EMF activity in
the environment and it's not just in the
in the air but and the land and the sea
everywhere there's EMFs everywhere you
can't escape it
electromagnetic radiation exists on a
spectrum ranging from ionizing radiation
like x-rays which can move through you
and take pictures to non ionizing
radiation like microwaves which can heat
up your favorite snack our cell phones
tablets Wi-Fi routers smart gadgets and
smart meters are all emitting and
receiving microwave radiation or RF
radiation wireless technology emits and
receives radiation with less than two
watts of power this cause is only a tiny
amount of warming significantly less
than the 1,000 Watts used by microwaves
fake videos went viral in 2008 showing
what appeared to be cellphones popping
popcorn but as you can see if you try
this for yourself
it's bogus the experts sounding the
alarm on the harms of RF exposure are
not doing so because of its very low
heat emissions but from the growing
evidence that suggests the continuous
use of our wireless devices come with
side effects we know that radio
frequency radiation of 3g and 4g are
associated with the whole variety of
different human health effects
[Music]
current public exposure levels are at
least one Tilian that's 18 zeros 1
quintillion times above natural
background radiation according to
professor only Johansson of the
Karolinska Institute in Sweden and there
are studies for instance on the
blood-brain barrier leakage and where
the rats were exposed for one minute not
one year anything like one minute and at
an a very low exposure level compared to
what you and I should stand and they got
this dramatic leakage of the blood-brain
barrier the blood-brain barrier is a
filtering mechanism in the brain that
blocked the passage of certain
substances once compromised it becomes
more porous allowing bacteria and other
toxins to infect the brain tissue
resulting in inflammation or sometimes
death the barrier can be compromised
from blunt force trauma high blood
pressure developmental disorders an
exposure to radiation including
microwave radiation this leakage is more
common among children because a child's
skull is much thinner in the Journal of
microscopy in ultra structure authors
conducted a meta-analysis of
peer-reviewed cell phone exposure
studies from 2009 to 2014 concluding
that children and unborn babies do face
a greater risk for bodily damage that
results from microwave radiation given
off by wireless devices this happens to
be called a tes 593 meter so you can see
it's ranging from 0.5 point 7
microwave radiation for children not one
the brain of a child absorbs twice as
much radiation as an adult that's a
stunning fact okay folks a hundred times
higher than what I'm calling an
increasing number of countries around
the world of banning the use of Wi-Fi in
schools in Israel as well as France as
well as Belgium and Taiwan there's an
active government program to discourage
the use of mobile devices by young
children now it's an airplane mode so I
feel okay just to show you this why why
would you ever do this to yourself
the cellphone radiation gets all the way
through into the eyes of a child age six
that might have a phone next to their
brain the consequences remember that
brain is not protected with myelin and
therefore the exposures of anything to
it are going to have a greater impact
the Education Department says it follows
world guidelines on Wi-Fi and advise the
schools to limit children's exposure you
are putting it over here this is called
the temporal portion of your skull
doctor David Carpenter is a world
renowned expert in environmental toxins
in Albany New York the weight of the
evidence demonstrates clearly that
exposure to radiofrequency radiation
causes disease the evidence is strongest
for cancer the thinnest bone in your
body which gives the most likelihood
that that radiation is going to
penetrate your brain and if you're a
child that bone
even thinner this is why this is a
really serious an issue in children
it's just
[Music]
one reason scientists study rats is
because their genetic biological and
behavior characteristics closely
resemble those of humans and many
symptoms of human conditions can be
replicated in mice and rats and this is
dr. Leif Salford he's a neurosurgeon at
Lund University Hospital and chairman of
the Department of Neurosurgery since the
late 1990s he's led a team of
researchers who have exposed thousands
of laboratory rats to cell phone
radiation showing that even a very small
amount can damage the blood-brain
barrier
his results have remained consistent and
he calls the potential implications of
his results terrifying we learned that
the rats that hadn't noticed in genetics
not one watched the kilo not the 100
milliwatts vaquita not even 10
milliwatts per kilo but one millimeter
and even point 1 milliwatt Paquita are
those energies that opened the drug
burns barrier most efficiently shut him
up
we have a lot invested in this ride shut
him up
[Music]
many ask however if cellphones are
damaging the blood-brain barrier why
haven't we seen a rise in brain tumors
or brain cancer since 1980s when
cellphones started to come out to today
there's no change in the incidence of
brain cancer in the United States in the
Australia in Europe all of them there
were studies done showing no real
difference this Fell's to consider
latency which is the amount of time that
elapses between initial exposure and the
diagnosis of cancer some studies of the
Hiroshima bombing we know that brain
cancer did not show up at all as
increased until 40 years after that
bombing occurred if there was a real
hazard out there but it could be another
15 years before we see it think about
the billions of people who were being
exposed the cellphone RF on our regular
basis we can't undo that exposure
but even if one completely dismisses the
reality of latency evidence shows that a
particular kind of tumor has risen
substantially but the rise is difficult
to find given the straight line in the
mean average rates of glioblastoma
otherwise called a glioma or GBM or
rising with the placement of the tumor
occurring in the temporal and frontal
lobes in one study titled brain tumors
rise in glioblastoma authors stated in
the abstract that this rise is mostly
hidden in the overall data by a reduced
incidence of lower grade tumors the
World Health Organisation says there are
some indications of an increased risk of
glioma for those who reported the
highest 10% of cumulative hours of
cellphone use the reality is there's a
significant increase in geo blastoma
unfortunately they're very very deadly I
have listed peer-reviewed studies
establishing the connection between
non-thermal radiofrequency radiation
from cellphones and brain cancer known
as glioblastoma the w-h-o is classified
EMF as possibly carcinogenic to humans'
group to be a category used when a
causal association is considered
credible a study in Sweden published by
environmental research in public health
reported that brain tumors increased
from 2007 to 2015
saying the use of wireless phones should
be considered in relation to the change
of incidence rates according to the
Journal of environmental health
long-term mobile phone use shows an
almost doubling of the risk of head
tumors in the Journal of environmental
research states that long-term use of
mobile phones shows a decreased survival
of glioma patients claiming that RF
exposure should be regarded as a human
carcinogen now watch what happens when
moveaway 7-under 10 so just by moving
the distance two or three feet you're
reducing the radiation by 90% one might
be thinking however that these studies
are correlation causation fallacies just
because there's a rise in a glioblastoma
doesn't mean it's because of our
cellphones but in 2016
findings from a massive 30
million-dollar study by the National
Toxicology program were made public a
major US government study on rats finds
a link between cell phones and cancer
very first government study linking the
radiation from cell phones to cancer to
decade 30 million dollar federal study
out today found there is some evidence
of a link between cell phone radiation
and brain cancer the study was led by
dr. David mcCormick at the Illinois
Institute of Technology where they
exposed rats to the same radiation
emitted from cell phones if this study
had found no effects at all then we
could much more easily dismiss previous
studies linking long-term cellphone use
to the glioma tumor but that's not what
happened and then they found a link to
two types of tumors right gliomas and
schwannomas folks brain that so cool so
responsible for body balance has had to
be removed of the surgeons found this
first tumor right where he held the
phone ntp uses four categories to
summarize the evidence that a substance
may cause cancer no evidence equivocal
evidence some evidence and clear
evidence they found clear evidence of
glioma tumors this supports earlier
findings associating gliomas with
long-term exposure to RF radiation from
cell phones these results are quite
important because the incidence of the
brain tumors and the schwannomas of the
heart support that I our conclusion
based on gliomas and acoustic neuromas
among long-term cellphone users some
argue however that the levels used in
this study were much higher than those
were ever exposed to but this rebuke has
been largely overblown our studies are
designed specifically to
mimic the human exposure scenario the
NTP studies are looking at exposures for
10 hours a day there's heavy cellphone
users that may approach the 10 hour mark
that may be excessive but it allows us
to fully investigate whether or not
there is an effect of cellphone
frequency radiation many who say this
studies RF levels were much higher than
what we've ever been exposed to
might not be considering a variety of
factors for instance have you've ever
had poor a cell reception a new study
shows that using your cell phone in
certain areas can increase your exposure
to radiation by 10 thousand time
[Music]
scientists at the California Department
of Public Health showed the lower your
cell phone reception is especially if
it's very well the higher the radiation
with a weak signal what happens is your
phone puts out a lot more radiation to
make the connection with the cell tower
so this would strongly urge people that
people should not use cellphones in
elevators or moving vehicles on public
transit because not only are you
exposing yourself to very high levels of
cellphone radiation you're exposing all
those people near you also what happens
when my house has smart meters just
outside of it and I'm inside using my
phone while also watching a smart TV
with my router in the same room in my
tablet which I'm not using but is still
on and sending and receiving radio
frequency waves to the tower outside my
neighborhood
900 times a second and which usually
holds two to five antennas inside of it
is right next to me haven't you ever
tried to sign on to your Wi-Fi only to
notice multiple other accounts pop up
those are also adding higher levels of
EMF on top of everything else that was
just mentioned normal mode my iPhone
registered 286 millivolts per meter but
watch what happens when I turn on the
Bluetooth Wi-Fi and make a phone call
now the RF radiation jumps to a high
reading of nearly 6 volts per meter
compared to 286 millivolts that's 20
times more radiation your level of
exposure also depends on where you live
this graph is a country comparison of RF
exposure guidelines set by the
government measured in micro watts per
centimeter as you'll notice Sal
burg Liechtenstein's Bulgaria &
Luxenberg are all below three microwatts
per centimeter Switzerland uses 4.25 for
schools and hospitals and 9.5 for the
general public
China's limit is set at ten and in the
good old US of A
[Music]
and with this amount of scientific
information it's no wonder that just
like smoking cigarettes insurance
companies exclude coverage for EMF
radiation this is because EMFs are
classified as a pollutant alongside
smoke chemicals in asbestos I want to
tackle the subject of insurance you know
that neither Lloyd's of London nor Swiss
are he will underwrite liability
policies for electromagnetic radiation
because they think the health risk is
too great in other words they believe
that when the lawyers get involved and I
know many of them the companies who
deliver this radiation to the public
could be wiped out
[Music]
come neva know that one in six American
couples is unable to have a child when
they want to come neva know that last
year the birthrate in this country
dropped the most that it ever has in
recent history 3% in a single year
[Music]
[Music]
when people code at the Cleveland Clinic
or go to the infertility clinics all
over the world one of the first things
doctors say to them is where do you use
your phone and get it out of your pocket
because the data on that are rock solid
cell phones can damage sperm quantity
and quality a meta-analysis of all the
literature on the effects of mobile
phone radiation on male reproduction say
the results of these studies have shown
that RF EMR decreases a sperm count and
motility and increases oxidative stress
these abnormalities seem to be directly
related to the duration of mobile phone
use such a dramatic effect that they
suggest women might not want to pocket
their cell phones for a few days after
trying to get pregnant so as to not put
the sperm at further risk oxidative
stress refers to elevated intracellular
levels of reactive oxygen species that
damage DNA the effects from oxidative
stress include diabetes pardon blood
vessels inflammatory conditions high
blood pressure heart disease and cancer
a meta-analysis of studies in the
potential for EMF causing oxidative
stress was recently published by
oxidants and antioxidants in medical
science they said they found altogether
eighty currently available papers of
which a remarkable part 92.5 percent
reported the detection of significant
oxidative stress saying it is clear that
the substantial overproduction of our OS
under low intensity RF exposure could
cause a broad spectrum of health
disorders and diseases including cancer
in humans
[Music]
there are studies that present another
side to the story but they're often
funded by industry and misleading a
great example is a recent study from
Australia managed by Ken and Croft
who found no rise in glioma tumors
associated with a rise and cellphone use
but they've a omitted every tumour
diagnosis from those who were 60 years
old and older the average age for the
onset of glioma is 62 with the greatest
incidence in people 65 and older so if
you're trying to find a nationwide rise
in glioma why leave out a demographic
that has the majority of tumors a simple
Google search will show that those 60
and up hold the bulk of tumor cases a
recent study in England found glioma
tumors nearly doubled with the majority
of the rise
63% found after the age of 59 the
authors of the England study criticized
the work of kenan croft saying if we had
eliminated that group we would have
reached a similar conclusion saying the
australian paper is nothing more than
misleading pseudoscience it should be
withdrawn canon Croft do acknowledge the
noticeable rise in the glamour for
younger patients but attribute every
case to advancements in MRI technology
unlike the research I just mentioned
most of which were independent the
Australian study was funded by the
National Health and Research Council a
federal government agency who have been
criticized by many in the scientific
community for having lobbyists and
proponents on their committees and in
one instance lobbyists and proponents
made up a two-thirds majority on the
committee
practice these words in front of the
mirror although we are constantly
exploring the subject currently there is
no direct evidence that links cell phone
usage to brain cancer but there's one
organization that goes farther than
anyone claiming that cell phones are
completely safe the leaders in hi
members of the FCC have been a revolving
door of lobbyists for big Teleco NCTA
and CTIA are the largest telecom
lobbying groups in the u.s. it's their
job to ensure the public continues to
believe their wireless products are safe
for everyone former FCC Chairman Michael
Powell was and still is president of
NCTA in 2009 Meredith Attwell Baker was
brought on to the FCC board
she was then and still is chief
executive officer of CTIA which recently
spent three times the amount and sprint
did on lobbying expenses and is
currently battling Berkeley in the
Supreme Court over the city's new right
to know law you'll find an RF exposure
warning in most cell phones but city
leaders here in Berkeley want a warning
like this posted inside cell phone
stores this proposal the irresponsible
alarm consumers and defleshing disease
of cell phones I love my iPhone I just
know not to hold it to my head or to my
body
most cellphones have a warning in them
that say to hold the phone away from
your body to avoid radio frequency
exposure but most of us don't know about
this warning warning
and tonight the Berkeley City Council
decided you have a right to know and
people in Berkeley will be told when
they buy a phone the good news is the
city listened the bad news is they were
then sued by CTIA claiming they dilated
their free speech the law has now been
sent back to the Ninth Circuit for
further review and in 2013 President
Obama appointed Tom wheeler to the FCC
former CEO of both in CTA and CTIA Tom
you delivered a million dollar bribe to
the Obama administration which led to
your appointment you represented the
industry for 12 years and that's all
your lawyer represent
[Music]
we need to speed the deployment of 5g
here on our shores
turning innovators loose is far
preferable to expecting committees and
regulators to define the future we won't
wait for the standards rule number one
is that the technology should drive the
policy rather than the policy drive the
technology
[Music]
American leadership in 5g must be a
national priority President Donald Trump
has named Ajit PI one of the current
members of the Federal Communications
Commission to have the agency trump
appointed who is still chairman of the
FCC today radical free-market addict
Ajit PI when it came to repealing net
neutrality Rajat claimed the government
had no place in the private sector it's
very odd to say that getting the
government out of the business of
regulating Internet is how destroying
free speech but suddenly for 5g not only
is the government necessary it's a
requirement we want America to lead the
world in 5g just as we led the world in
4G that of course takes private sector
initiative but also requires government
to set the stage in terms of getting the
tools for the industry to use out there
into the marketplace Ajit is playing the
same role as his predecessor claiming
the 5g rule out it's a global race and I
said yesterday and many times that do I
want the United States to be the leader
in terms of 5g innovation he in the FCC
have devised with de call the 5g fast
plan 5g fast plan facilitating America's
superiority and 5g technology intending
to blanket the entire country with 5g
small cells every two to ten homes
[Music]
the reason industry claims to need so
many small cells is because 5g uses
millimeter waves which travel shorter
distances and are more easily blocked by
walls even foliage to compensate for
this engineers have found a way to
direct the waves and to narrow beams and
intentionally point them put designated
areas beam which helps concentrate the
energy of the beams get pointed at the
user but for some reason the CEO of
horizon has a different story can you
get through trees can you get through
leaves can you actually get somewhere
where you don't need sulfates every you
know 25 feet from my house yeah well
those were some of what I call the myths
of millimeter wave we have now busted
the myth that it has to be line of sight
it does not we've busted the myth that
foliage will shut it down in the 200
feet from a home we're now designing the
network for over two thousand feet from
transmitter to receiver well myth or
otherwise small cells are still
continuing to be built across the
country and they're a bit closer than
two thousand feet the residents say they
were never told that it was happening I
said how could the town permit this she
and Woodbury neighbors fuming over the
placement of 22 cell repeaters for
Verizon in front of homes on what's
technically public property without
notice or compensation I have been
telecommuting for a number of years I
used to own a consulting firm I have
never ever heard anyone say they can't
move to Montgomery County for lack of
internet access service now millions of
small cell towers this is the beginning
of a nationwide battle between concerned
citizens and big Teleco and since a GP
suddenly loves his bureaucracy he is
totally fine having it all mandated by
the federal government but
telecommunications consultant rusty
Monroe says the bill being considered by
lawmakers hp-310 is heavily weighted in
favor of providers not communities it
should not be about money it should be
about community needs when we bought
into our communities we bought into
residential communities we did not buy
into communities that would have
eyesores
[Applause]
it gives them the authority as long as
there are the rights of way to
effectively put them wherever they want
even the FCC is not a health agency keep
that in mind just one point the FCC is
not a health agency but it is a federal
agency and and the problem the problem
for the county is that we are preempted
the councilmembers would like to protect
the community as much as we can but
federal law does preempt County law that
well you can say it's not true this
stuff is untested on kids their safety
is not certain
these untested technologies are at this
time not ready to be unleashed into our
lives if a tower goes up right there
what's gonna happen to the value of that
home it could drop 20 percent and not
only for this house right for that house
that house that house and then pretty
soon you go around the curve and there's
another cell tower so with few legal
arguments to deny a cell tower they're
popping up outside bedroom windows and
school campuses despite objections from
across the country
I believe that Americans deserve to know
what the health effects are
I can totally follow up with you senator
to my knowledge there's no active
studies being backed by industry today
no I'm not aware of any no there really
is no research ongoing we're kind of
flying blind here
so far as health and safety concern
Thank You mr. chairman I know there's a
convenience issue I'm addicted to this
stuff myself right but I also know that
in article 4 section 51 of our Michigan
Constitution our primary concern is
supposed to be the health of our
citizens that is supposed to be the
primary concern and with cell phones we
now know given the evidence and per the
hidden recommendations in our phones not
to put it in our pocket or on our ear
but the real danger with 5g if that
sooner or later our country will be
surrounded by it and no one knows
exactly how it will affect us
