The Dangers of Smart Meters

The producers of "Take Back Your Power" are allowing a full and FREE viewing through 8/11.

Just like some people are allergic to pollen, gluten, corn or peanuts, some people are particularly sensitive to what is sometimes referred to referred to as "dirty electricity" or "electromagnetic smog".

Certain precautions can be taken and specific devices can be used, in order to cut down on the impact of harmful electromagnetic energy on the human body. One of those precautions is to avoid having a smart meter.

Detrimental electromagnetic energies can decrease the function of mitochondria. Mitochondria burn fuel to supply energy for every cell in every organism on earth. When mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in humans, this can lead to what are referred to as the "modern diseases". They are called "modern diseases", since the occurrence of these diseases were rare until modern times. These "modern diseases" include, but are not limited to; autoimmune diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, different forms of dementia and even cancer.

Cancer is a primarily metabolic disorder related to mitochondrial dysfunction and not a genetic disorder as you and the world have been lead to believe.

Cancer is primarily a metabolic disorder

Focusing on the nucleus of cancer cells and not on their mitochondria, is in my opinion the major reason why the "war on cancer" has been almost a total failure. This 'war" has been raging since Richard Nixon declared it through The National Cancer Act of 1971.

Until cancer research focuses on cancer being primarily a metabolic disorder, cancer will remain a major cause of death.

There is also a totally logical theory that states that nothing in the human body happens by "accident" and the "function" of tumors are actually a survival mechanism.

Now before you start scratching your head in disbelief, please consider these facts:

1. We have an innate intelligence that has survival as the prime directive.

2. All tumors are extremely toxic.

3. Toxins are sequestered by the body in the tumors to protect the rest of the body against these toxins.

4. When someone detoxifies, tumors shrink and can even disappear.

I was introduced to this concept by a very good friend of mine and colleague, Tedd Koren, DC, who has written about this topic in "Why Did God Create Cancer?"

The concept of mitochondrial dysfunction being triggered by electromagnetic pollution has extremely sound scientific backing, but this concept is largely unknown and rarely discussed.

Other triggers of mitochondrial dysfunction are; chemical toxins, including pesticides, drugs, GMOs and gluten. These triggers also contribute to leaky gut syndrome, which I have written numerous blogs about.

Our whole society is now becoming more and more exposed to this dirty electricity on a daily basis. Major sources of electromagnetic pollution are; Wi-Fi devices, Wi-Fi itself, cell towers, smart phones, portable phones, hybrid cars, microwave ovens, routers, fluorescent light bulbs, compact fluorescent lights, light emitting diodes (LEDs), smart meters, power lines, all electrical wiring and even all devices that use electricity.

All electromagnetic energies are not all bad. Examples of beneficial electromagnetic energies include; ultraviolet light (10% of sunlight) that produces vitamin D, infrared light (50% of sunlight) that improves mitochondrial function and the Schumann Resonances, which are the healing frequencies of earth at 7.83 Hz.

Symptoms of Electromagnetic Pollution:

Some symptoms of electromagnetic pollution exposure may include; weight loss, getting ill frequently, headaches, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, difficulty focusing, depression, anxiety and altered behavior.

The Changes from Dirty Electricity That May Be Sub-clinical Include:

1. Altered calcium metabolism in the heart that can occur at a power density exposure of 2.5 μW/cm²

2. Changes in the hippocampus. These can affect memory and learning, can occur at 4.0 μW/cm²

3. DNA damage in cells can occur at 6.0 μW/cm²

Blood Work Confirms Adverse Health Effects Following Smart Meter Installation:

As noted by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt in the film, blood testing reveals a number of measurable effects after the installation of smart meters.

1. Significant elevations in the inflammatory markers TGF-beta 1 and MMP-9.

2. Copper serum levels also rise, which is a sign of chronic inflammation.

3. Hormones and neurotransmitter levels are adversely affected.

From the film, Dr. Klinghardt states. - "We have lab tests where we can show, here's a patient, I monitored him for 10 years before; he was completely normal. The smart meter was installed and six months later [he] looks like a dying patient, from the lab work,"

Klinghardt goes on to state that one spouse may feel ill but not the other, but lab tests reveal a decline in health is still occurring in both.

This goes back to one of my basic principles of my holistic health practice, which is generally missing in Western Medicine. That principle is that just because you don't feel sick, doesn't mean that you are 100% healthy.

A health questionnaire would miss this, since there were no complaints. That is why when I am doing a comprehensive analysis on my patients, in addition to my health questionnaires, I look at body composition, the results of my physical examination, blood analysis, hair analysis, urinalysis and possible specific genetic testing, when clinically indicated.

Dangers of Smart Meters:

1. Thousands of people complain of health problems developing shortly after receiving a smart meter on their home.

2. The smart grid can violate privacy rights and pose a cybersecurity problem.

3. 80% of households that have received a smart meter have actually reported increases of their utility bill.

How To Limit Exposure

1. Don't use a microwave.

2. Limit your use of electronic devices.

3. Use your speakerphone when you talk on your cell phone.

4. Don't keep your cell phone in your pocket or next to your body

5. Only turn on WiFi when you need it.

6. Buy Q-Link devices that have been shown to actually work to reduce the detrimental effects of electromagnetic pollution.

7. Consider using or buying a Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy Device (PEMF), which generate an electromagnetic field that is based on the "pulse" of the earth, which is the Schumann Resonance of 7.83 Hz. These devices have helped a number of health disorders and help to counter the detrimental impact of electromagnetic pollution.
