One of the world’s greatest health risks of our time began in the late 19th century and blossomed in the 1920s – cigarettes! The social, stylish alure was marketed with glamour and delight! Ads tragically featured pregnant women; celebrities like Lucile Ball; handsome cowboys for the Marlboro brand, and doctors, yes doctors! One of Camel’s ads featured a doctor with the heading, “Give your throat a vacation. Smoke a fresh cigarette.” Seriously? And one last insane indoctrination from the Lucky Stike brand, “Get Lucky.” Really??
Why would I begin this EMF article with the madness of cigarettes (a separate, sinister tale of how “chemicals” caused the harm, not the nicotine!). Because the “invisible” radiation has been sold in the same positive, convincing fashion! Inhaling toxic smoke seemed harmless back in the day and radiation emitting products have also been pitched as exciting and harmless!
Here’s a reminder of the overreaching hype: T-Mobile: “We've got the largest, fastest, most advanced 5G network. With more towers, more bandwidth, and a signal that goes farther.” Or…boost mobile: “5G ON TAP -- We built thousands of cellular towers across the country. Or wherever you may find yourself.” And, of course, you have recommendations from Tom’s Guide: “Our favorite 5G phones offer more than just speedier downloads. The best 5G phones also feature outstanding cameras, big displays and super-sized batteries that deliver all-day battery life.”
More what? Fastest what? Why is there no mention of more & fast radiation and the risk of unwellness in this country? Why are EMF industries leaving this out? Electric wireless devices: laptops, keyboards, mouses, copiers, earbuds, TVs, 5G towers, substations, newer cars with assorted wireless components, and more – are collectively taking a toll on our health.
Of the two companies I mentioned above, they offer no health warnings or protective devices. And if you speak to a live person on the phone (as I did), asking what they’re doing to inform and protect the public, they stumble because they don’t know what to say! At least, the woman I spoke to at boost mobile said she would forward my concerns to management. Whether boost will blow smoke on my questions (not being facetious), I don’t know. Chances are they will.
The Quick Spread of Radiation
Once millions were aware in the 1950s of the dangers (primarily lung cancer) from cigarettes, ads shifted from desirable to dangerous. Unfortunately, even though the next generation was avoiding a smoke, “evil” didn’t skip a beat and EMF was right behind…growing at lighting speed.
The 1970s was the beginning of a new era – a new virus, one we idolized: personal computers, cell phones and microwaves! It was a time when everyone had access to more information but had less time to source “real” information. Everything was bright and shiny, and in 1997 Wi-Fi (radio waves that transmit information) debuted. Similar to cigarettes, when dangerous chemicals were never revealed as additives (shall we say), radiation emissions have never been a cautionary tale when devices are sold!
Even though the harm of radiation emissions is being shared more often, unlike cigarettes, convincing others of the danger will take time. Why? Because there are no “obvious” signs – no smells, no smoke, no colored residue left on windows and walls to trigger one’s curiosity or concern; it’s all “smoke and mirrors!” Only research, knowledge, and word-of-mouth will encourage the public to install “effective” protective devices (which I’ve added below) in their home to remediate the junk.
We are entering into a frightening time of unwell. To hell with radiation emissions! Millions can’t help but believe, “If EMF was really bad, the products wouldn’t be on the market! Everything is tested for safety. Those who consider microwaves, cell phones, laptops, and dozens of other things as ‘unsafe,’ are afraid of their own shadow, and probably conspiracy theorists!”
The decline of health in this country will only get worse if we “don’t” pay attention. If you have a condition with an unknown cause and reach out to urgent care, ER, or a doctor…what will they do when they don’t know what’s wrong? When in doubt, a doctor will write you a prescription for an antibiotic – the solve-nothing ineffective drug.
In case you’re unaware, here are some common symptoms that EMF radiation can cause: headaches, migraines, fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus, muscle weakness, eye strain, skin rashes, chest pain, and weakened immune system. I could go on and on because the laundry list is long. Unfortunately, our bodies are being altered without knowing and without any discussion from mainstream news or manufacturers (of course!).
How Life Once Was
Some may call me old fashioned and resistant to change, but they’re wrong! I may be “older,” but older and wiser – someone who is not off the rails, and wants to leave you with thoughts of how so-called “growth” has contributed to unnecessary emotional and physical harm. When I attended high school & college (in the mid-late 1970s), I functioned successfully and without the health risks of:
Personal computers & laptops
Term papers were prepared either on a “typewriter” or were “handwritten.” Both required careful attention & research that was found in encyclopedias or books in a library. A student had to think and use their mind – a concept that is rare today in schools.
In addition, I had to reference a dictionary to check my “spelling” – another concept that is foreign to students whose laptops do the work for them. And whenever research is needed, they can google for their answers & find what they need in minutes.
Cell phones
As a teen, I spoke to one of my girlfriends on the phone (a landline!), every other day after school. That was it. The rest of my time was spent doing homework & practicing my violin. In other words, I had valuable personal & productive time.
Cell phones became addictive & excessive with teens in the early 2000s. It’s now out of control, causing serious social & emotional harm. If the creation of cell phones was up to me, phone service would have been its only function – nothing more! And that would have applied to everyone: children and adults!
And for those of you who drive while talking & texting on the cell phone -- it's been one of the greatest distractions & causes of car accidents! I was rear-ended twice by careless drivers: one slowly rolled into me at a stop light & the second...while I was waiting to drive through a car wash! Both were texting on their cell phone! Another smoking gun, courtesy of the EMF industry!
GPSs
The Thomas Book of Maps was a family favorite when growing up & became my navigating friend when I started driving in the 1980s. It gave me a clear vision of where I was headed. Again, it caused me to explore & think.
Now, a GPS will tell you where to turn & where to go. You’re allowed to be brainless.
Microwaves
Thankfully, my family never owned a microwave when I grew up. My parents didn’t purchase one until their late 70s. As adults, my siblings love this speedy devise…but for me? I used them rarely (not until my 50s) & now refuse to use them at all.
Microwavable frozen food (filled with unknown ingredients) became the new normal, causing safe, organic, healthy food preparation an exception.
The indoctrination of fast & convenient food preparation made these electromagnetic ovens indispensable. And God help us now that smart ovens exist & emit more Wi-Fi radiation exposure!
~~~~~~~
Bottom line, we don’t “need” any of this bull s—t, and unfortunately, we’ve been conditioned to “want” it…and want all of it! Here we are, brainwashed to the max, accepting radiation as it permeates our body day after day, year after year, until finally, like cigarettes, when it’s too late, a dis-ease erupts in our body, and we’re clueless about the cause.
Most progress in this country came with a price. AI is another example of something we don’t need but are told we do (which, to me, is Nazistic). Our engagement with humans will become more scarce as jobs and our need to think is eliminated. Some of you may remember Ray Bradbury’s incredibly insightful book (published in 1953), Fahrenheit 451.
For those of you who are not familiar, the key character, Guy Montag is a fireman. In order that you understand its relevance, I will share a brief summary of the book (from Sparknotes/an online study guide), “In Montag’s world, firemen start fires rather than putting them out. The people in this society do not read books, enjoy nature, spend time by themselves, think independently, or have meaningful conversations. Instead, they drive very fast, watch excessive amounts of television on wall-size sets, and listen to the radio on “Seashell Radio” sets attached to their ears.”
Bradbury imagined this 72 years ago; a theme that is similar to ours and where we’re heading – a world where we’re distanced from books and human contact, and people who are absent of purpose and only connect and absorb single channeled information.
What do “you” want? Convenience? Speed? New gadgets? If your desire is to keep in step with the latest and greatest, while never investigating their consequences, then you’re living the life of a child. You’re a complacent follower who wants to be told what to do.
Or…do you want to be a thinker? Someone who seeks good health? Someone who uses their smartphone discriminantly. Someone who is “not” afraid to challenge companies selling EMF products without preventative emission devices? Someone who challenges matters that do not make sense and seek to set them right? Or, someone who loves to hold a book in their hands versus a radiation emitting eBook.
What “do” you want? Because if you’re happy with a robotic, brainless, unwell life, you’re living a downward spiraling smoke and mirrors existence. And if that is “not” what you want, then do something & say something in order to change something about the health risks we’re facing! Let me offer a few ways to start:
Highly Recommended EMF Expert & Products
I’ve never been one to endorse companies, but in this case, because I came across Ted McCullough who is an expert in the EMF field, I highly recommend you seek his knowledgeable, advice and products!
One amazing device I purchased from him was the, the Room Harmonizer; it was a game changer that eliminated (within 2 days of plugging it into a regular electrical outlet) odd stinging sensations in the left side of my face.
For years I’ve lived with tiny metal staples in the left side of my face (a product of reconstructive surgery); it was something I never thought of…until the stinging started and then stopped.
Once we’re aware of the invisible, and know how to protect ourselves, we’re doing our bodies a great service!
Please protect yourself!
