Woman Living Near Cell Tower Diagnosed With 51 Strokes

Exclusive: Woman Living Near Cell Tower Diagnosed With 51 Strokes
By Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D., childrenshealthdefense.org, 26 Feb. 2024, updated 27 Feb. 2024

In an interview with The Defender, Marcia Haller detailed how her life dramatically changed when a cell tower 900 feet from her home was “upgraded.” Haller notified the telecom companies operating the tower that she plans to sue under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

In 2007, Marcia and Jason Haller — high school sweethearts who met in Duluth, Minnesota — bought their dream property north of Duluth to peacefully live close to nature and Marcia’s family.

Little did they know then that American Towers, AT&T and T-Mobile would soon build a cell tower just 900 feet from their home — a tower that would later forever change Marcia’s life as she knew it.

Nearly immediately after the cell tower was “upgraded” in 2019, Marcia became disabled from the intense levels of radiofrequency (RF) radiation emitted by the tower.

Since then, she has suffered 51 strokes, vision loss, hearing loss, headaches, sleep disruption, chronic fatigue and cognitive impairment. She experiences ongoing issues with balance, orientation and mobility.

A St James village’s battle to rid itself of a recently erected cell phone tower in its midst notched up Friday as it enlisted the support of an American campaign group that argues cell phones, wireless broadband and other high-frequency radio signals pose a health risk.

The non-profit Environmental Health Trust (EHT), based in the northern American state of Wyoming has emerged to back the people of Olive Lodge, Holders Hill, who are planning to ask the High Court to issue an injunction to block any further work and eventually have the structure removed. The tower was erected around mid-January by telecommunications firm Digicel. The community was told the tower was temporary.

In the canton of Bern, 127 municipalities where 5G mobile phone antennas are located are facing complaints from the building police. The complaints were submitted by the WIR and Gigaherz associations, which are critical of mobile communications, and Laubscher plannetzwerk GmbH from Büren an der Aare.

They have been warning about radiation exposure from mobile phone antennas for some time. They are now targeting those antennas where the transmission power has been increased without a planning application or public publication. This was announced by the three organizations on Tuesday.

Current policies in the United States and Europe regarding wireless radiation rest on an outdated assump­tion that the sole adverse impact to be avoided is acute heating of biological tissues.Footnote1 These policies ignore substantial evi­dence of chronic impacts that wir­eless radiofrequency radiation (RFR) can have on public health and the broader environmental consequences. In this article, we briefly review the early history of policy development on RFR, provide evidence of significant adverse nonthermal chronic impacts from exposures that are not considered in current standards, and make the case for imp­le­menting the precautionary pri­nciple to protect public health and the environment. As with most environmental health hazards, the consequences of RFR are especially important to the fetus and children, as they will incur a lifetime of exposures that is without precedent. We thus argue for the adoption of the precautionary principle to reduce chronic, societal-level risks from exposures.

DNA and Developmental Damage from Cell Towers on the Greek Island of Samos: Effects on Insects, Flowers and Vegetables

DNA and Developmental Damage from Cell Towers on the Greek Island of Samos: Effects on Insects, Flowers and Vegetables
by Diana Kordas, ED.M., M.A. February 8, 2024; hyperlinked version posted by Safe Tech International Feb. 12, 2024 by permission.

“…cells with irreparably damaged genomic DNA will result in cell senescence, cell death, cancer or mutated offspring, depending on cell type and specific biological/environmental conditions.” Panagopoulos et al., 2021 1

Introduction

A recent paper, ‘Human‑made electromagnetic fields: Ion forced‑oscillation and voltage‑gated ion channel dysfunction, oxidative stress and DNA damage (Review) published in the International Journal of Oncology by biophysicist Dimitris J. Panagopoulos et. al. states unequivocally that electromagnetic radiation from wireless technology damages DNA. This leads to infertility, sterility, mutations and extinctions, and it explains the loss of biodiversity that we are currently experiencing on this planet.

Germany: The city of Ravensburg wants to build a shelter against radiation

The city of Ravensburg wants to build a shelter against radiation

Some people have bad allergies, others are highly sensitive to radiation and electrosmog. How the city of Ravensburg wants to help them.

Ravensburg could be the first city in Germany to set up a public shelter for electro-sensitive people. This was confirmed by both the city's press spokesman Timo Hartmann and Anke Bay from the self-help group for environmentally ill people in Ravensburg. Those affected can relax in the room, which is shielded from cell phone radiation, if they have things to do in the city center. It will probably go to the city library, which is due to be renovated and modernized in the next few years.

California: LA County Residents Will Have to Battle Wireless Expansion ‘Tower by Tower,’ but Judge Rules Against County on Key Environmental Claims

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ruled on Wednesday that most claims will proceed in a lawsuit alleging county ordinances allow uncontrolled wireless expansion without environmental review or public input, but struck down a key argument seeking to give residents more say over cell tower build-out near their homes.

LA County Residents Will Have to Battle Wireless Expansion ‘Tower by Tower,’ but Judge Rules Against County on Key Environmental Claims
By Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D., childrenshealthdefense.org, 15 February 2024

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge delivered a split decision Wednesday in a lawsuit seeking to halt the fast-tracked proliferation of wireless infrastructure without environmental review and without residents’ right to appeal.

In his ruling, Judge James C. Chalfant dismissed claims that the ordinances violate due process rights by preventing residents from contesting individual wireless project permits near their homes. He also dismissed a minor claim about a bureaucratic procedure.

However, he allowed pivotal allegations that the county is illegally sidestepping state environmental law through its new rules for approving wireless infrastructure projects.

Because the ruling bars a sweeping countywide due process challenge, the plaintiffs say it places an impossible burden on individuals to fund separate cases for each wireless facility installed near their properties without notice.

The children protested outside their school for two hours, holding placards bearing slogans such as “we have a right to life”, “radiation damages health”, and “no 5G near school”.

Speaking at the protest, Konia Mukhtar Kyriakos Kyriakou said “the whole community is protesting against the placement of the tower.”

There are 280 students at the school who are at “immediate risk” from the tower’s radiation, Kyriakou protested.

Experts: Current Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Limits Based on Inadequate Science—Does 5G Introduce Heightened Health Concerns?

Experts: Current Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Limits Based on Inadequate Science—Does 5G Introduce Heightened Health Concerns?
Staff, TrialSite News. Feb. 11, 2024

A group of scientific experts touch on a controversial and frankly, disturbing topic involving what are the generally accepted levels of what’s considered unsafe levels of radiofrequency exposure. Members of the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF), the authors published in 2022, “Scientific evidence invalidates health assumptions underlying the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) exposure limit determinations for radiofrequency radiations: implications for 5G.” Fifth-generation (5G) wireless technology, is the latest generation of cellular network technology designed to provide faster and more reliable wireless communication. It succeeds 4G LTE technology and offers significantly faster data speeds, lower latency, increased capacity, and support for a massive number of connected devices compared to previous generations. But with overwhelming dependence on our smartphones and various devices powered by standards such as Bluetooth—and all of this exposure to EMFs, how safe are we assuming what appears to be the shoddy evidence backing the safe exposure limits today? The present authors argue herein that those limits were established long ago, based on limited scientific rigor involving both the FCC and ICNIRP. If a group of experts in the field are correct, humanity faces the specter of myriad and potentially severe risks including the prospects of cancer and even sperm damage. Should the ICBE-EMF be correct, why would governments be concerned with Global Warming but not as well the prospect of a heightened risk for human health catastrophe powered by industry in the case of EMFs? Obviously, more research is needed but this group of scientists, highly credentialed, should be taken seriously.
