Los criptocromos y las radiaciones

Los criptocromos son pigmentos fotorreceptores que se encuentran al parecer en el núcleo de las células de las personas, animales, plantas y algunos microorganismos, con multitud de funciones. Éstos son esenciales en la orientación a través del campo magnético terrestre, en la reparación del ADN dañado, en los ritmos circadianos (el “reloj biológico”) de plantas, animales y humanos, y en la regulación del sistema inmunológico.

Stop Wi-Fi in its tracks

Posted by seumasach on March 26, 2010

As an early Internet adopter I love the opportunities technology offers. However, as someone who has a business offering patented products for protection from “electropollution” or “electrosmog,” I must speak out against the proposed Wi-Fi Project around the Plaza’s radius, being led by Councilman August Sebastiani.

Smart Meter Danger in apartment buildings

The Legislative Assembly of Ontario

This is my submission to members of the Standing Committee on General Government in consideration of Bill 235, Energy Consumer Protection Act, 2010.

Dear Committee Members

Smart Meters that are being installed in Ontario, use strong microwave radiation signals to send information about energy use, to electricity providers.  Microwave radiation has many adverse health effects at exposure levels which are a fraction of what the Federal Government says is safe.  The Federal Government bases their safety levels, simply on heating effects and they completely ignore biological effects on the brain, nervous system, DNA, blood and various other areas of the body.

Bees face ‘unprecedented’ pesticide exposures at home and afield

Posted by seumasach on March 24, 2010

The pollinator crisis is beyond doubt the greatest ecological crisis of our times threatening, as it does, mass starvation, an outcome, unfortunately, not uncongenial to the our neo-Malthusian elite. Is that why “the greens” or the left (remember them?) have nothing at all to say about it? Is that why the mainstream media is absolutely silent- their very own silent spring? Is that why the work of scientists like Ulrich Warnke is ignored and the investigation is kept in house, entrusted to the same old names, most of them from Penn State University, who are assiduously leading us nowhere?

Having previously ruled out pesticides, not without good reason, they have now ruled it in. Perhaps they understand, after all, the need for some kind of cause, that a combination of none causes isn’t good enough. As long as they don’t mention EM radiation, of course.

So here we are again with the pesticide theory. The hives are steeped in them apparently.In CCD the bees are not found dead in or around the hive. Our researchers explain this by claiming that

” sickened foragers probably die before they get home.”

If they are disorientated by the pesticide to the extent that they can’t get home how does the pesticide get into the hive? If they do get home to leave the pesticide traces why aren’t dead bees found there?

Oh well. Back to the drawing board and a new appeal for more research funding.

This years losses are again terrible but the “experts” continue to serve up nonsense and time is running out for us.

SAN FRANCISCO For years the news has been the same: Honey bees are being hammered by some mysterious environmental plague that has a name — colony collapse disorder – but no established cause. A two-year study now provides evidence indicting one likely group of suspects: pesticides. It found “unprecedented levels” of mite-killing chemicals and crop pesticides in hives across the United States and parts of Canada.

Why Vodaphone should not increase the power of its base stations

This is an emailed response to Cliff Mason of OFCOM following a proposal by Vodafone that it should be allowed to increase the power of its base stations by a factor of four. The email explains the mechanism by which base station radiation may be responsible for the increased incidence of cancer around them, the decline of the bees, and the loss of many trees within range to pathogens. It also explains how a simple modification to the signal could put it right.

It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to do anything about it.

I read with interest Justin Williams’ column (March 12) in which he advocated for more businesses, from gyms to bowling alleys, to offer Wi-Fi access. He seemed to believe almost everyone couldn’t wait for access, especially since it would be financially advantageous to smartphone users.

WiFi in Swindon – free access but at what cost?

Powerwatch

19th November, 2009

As recently covered by the BBC and the Times, Swindon Borough Council are offering a free public WiFi service to the entire of the town of Swindon. Offering high bandwidth, cheap services, this sounds like a technological boon for the residents of the town, but could it also be a public health experiment when so little is still understood about the potential health impacts of wireless technology?

Why Johnny Can’t Learn

We take the incredible technological advances that have been made in the past 50 years for granted. Technology that was once a distant dream is now a part of the fiber and fabric of our culture. A typical American home is equipped with microwaves, cell phones, cordless phones, PDAs, computers, and a wide assortment of technological gadgetry designed to make life easier.
However, what price are we paying for these advances and, more importantly, what price are our children paying for living in a world filled with these energy emitting devices?
