<p><em>When a cybertruck is imported to Europe, it has to be modified in order to adhere with safety regulations not in force in the United States. </em></p>



<p><em>From an energy medicine perspective, allowing intimidating vehicles on the roads, and instinct-injured</em> <em>piercing devoid of recognition of the body&#8217;s energy anatomy, are related issues.</em> </p>



<p><em>When we don&#8217;t understand the risks of &#8216;overcharge&#8217; in ourselves and others, and we don&#8217;t understand when and how our subtle energies are being exploited, or how to protect ourselves, <a href="https://ehtrust.org/health-effects-of-5g-wireless-technology-confirmed-at-us-senate-hearing-after-senator-blumenthal-questions-industry/">we are flying blind</a>.&#8221;</em></p>



<p>I recently read a quote by Substack author&nbsp;<a href="https://substack.com/@tijntjoelker">Tijn Tjoelker</a>&nbsp;of <a href="https://tijntjoelker.substack.com/">The Mycelium</a> in his post<strong><a href="https://tijntjoelker.substack.com/p/zen-and-the-art-of-saving-the-planet">&nbsp;</a></strong><a href="https://tijntjoelker.substack.com/p/zen-and-the-art-of-saving-the-planet">Lessons from Zen and The Art of Saving The Planet</a>.</p>

</div>


<p>We are at the point where every mundane choice that we make throughout the day and night &#8211; about what we do with our time and attention, and whether or not we invoke a machine or device, large and small &#8211; either does or does not regenerate life.</p>



<p>Unexamined choices via our technology use and consumer habits have taken us beyond the edge of reason. We need a new roadmap,</p>



<p><strong>A Short Historical Narrative of Feedback Loops: The Startle Response</strong> <strong>vs. Desensitization</strong></p>



<p>I remember when cars were first outfitted with remote door locks. Car lights would blink and the horn would beep loudly, so that the driver could confirm that they had locked the vehicle &#8211; from across the street.</p>



<p>Initially, I jumped out of my skin on more than one occasion in parking lots, startled by the unexpected noise from an empty vehicle. How did we come to change our expectations and behavior regarding when and where and how we lock our vehicles &#8211; creating the demand for more sensors and expensive key fobs, <em>with cars generating <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/why-modern-connected-cars-are-becoming-a-privacy-nightmare/ar-AA1r2K8I">data</a></em>? Should we celebrate that Meta&#8217;s glasses will remember for us <a href="https://mashable.com/article/ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses-wheres-my-car">where we parked the car</a>? Or should we question that we would need the assist, because <em>we have been empowered to not pay attention to what we are doing? </em></p>



<p><strong>Mindless or Mindful?</strong></p>



<p>Over time, the horn honking volume was adjusted. My energetic immune system and nervous system adapted to the sound, and now I rarely experience that startle response. I am desensitized.</p>



<p>We have not considered that in many cases,<strong> our desensitization not an adaptation</strong>. It is degenerative<em>, especially regarding our relationships with technology, with the built environment, with authoritarian structures, and with each other.</em></p>



<p>We could instead be paying more attention to what the European Environmental Agency has coined, &#8220;<a href="https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/late-lessons-2">Late Lessons from Early Warnings</a>&#8221; by heeding more of our own physicality, as well as reports of harm being experienced by others. </p>



<p>This extends far beyond overuse injuries and postural problems caused by tech; by screen blue light harm; by epidemic myopia, including in children; and including <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/?s=Diana+Kordas">unacknowledged damage to nature.</a> The harm is preventable, and caused by failure to course correct in the face of evidence of maladaptation to misguided social norms. </p>



<p>Trauma expert<a href="https://www.somaticexperiencing.com/about-peter"> Peter Levine </a>noted, “In a herd of deer, we need some super-sensitive ones. They are the ones that will hear that teeniest little crack or smell the one or two molecules of scent from the mountain lion that’s stalking them. Their job is to use their hyper-sensitivity to alert the whole group.”</p>



<p>If we are going to address any of the current challenges facing humanity, we need to recognize and recover our relationship with our own independent sensory feedback systems. We need to hold ourselves accountable for ensuring that our man-made inventions, i<em>ncluding AI</em>, do not destroy our biology, or each other, or the nature environment with which we have co-evolved for thousands of years.</p>



<p>Tech is enabling us to adopt <em>mindlessness and disconnect</em>, when we need to be going in the opposite direction. We are treating the planet and ourselves –<em> frivolously</em>, while outsourcing harm from the Global North to the South, including mining and waste.</p>



<p>Some antidotes include self-awareness, simplicity, mindfulness, wonder, presence, community, compassion for others, reverence, and openness to accumulated wisdom from other cultures.</p>



<p>We have access to maps that can guide us back to an integrated, healthy and balanced relationship with one another and with our own energy fields<em>, via energy intelligence</em>, much of which has been codified by Eastern traditions, thousands of years ago. Many Westerners are already reaping benefits of Eastern teachings; we could incorporate much more wisdom regarding balance, and embodiment. We don&#8217;t have to continue traveling this road. We can change the GPS coordinates to conscious awareness.</p>



<p><strong>A Short Comparision Study of an Energetic Exchange: Shopping</strong></p>



<p>Here are 3 different scenarios describing a cashier processing a customer&#8217;s purchases in a store, relative to studying energy anatomy.</p>



<p>1. In the first scenario, the cashier displays basic social skills and interacts courteously with staff and the customers. Friendly smiles are exchanged. The cashier is &#8216;present.&#8217;</p>



<p>2. In the second scenario, the cashier is wearing revealing clothing, with a phone visibly tucked in her bra. She does not make eye contact with anyone. She is sending mixed signals indicating that she is distracted with her mind elsewhere, while at the same time drawing attention to her appearance.</p>



<p>3. In the third scenario, the cashier has pasty unhealthy-looking skin, wearing clothing that obscures her physicality, with extreme prominent piercings on her face. She avoids eye contact. Again, the unconscious messaging is that while acting like she doesn&#8217;t care, she desperately wants to draw attention to herself.</p>



<p>If we could perceive the energetic dynamics occurring in each exchange, before we became desensitized, what would we see?</p>



<p>What does this have to do with a cybertruck?  Everything.</p>



<p><strong>Strange Flows,</strong> <strong>Radiant Circuits</strong>, <strong>and The Penetrating Flow</strong></p>



<p>Thousands of years ago, Chinese seers mapped out the electromagnetic pathways that sustain the invisible subtle energy field. This includes both Meridians and &#8216;Strange Flows.&#8217;</p>



<p>Some surmise that the name &#8216;Strange Flow&#8217; may have been sourced from the idea that the behavior of these energies appeared unusual and unpredictable, <em>until their functions were understood.</em> For example, if we were to suddenly fall through ice into freezing water, the Strange Flows responsible for managing body temperature would take the helm and re-organize our physiology to help insure survival, faster than the process of conscious thought. This would include the Regulator Flow.</p>



<p>Energy Medicine teacher and author <a href="https://edenenergymedicine.com/">Donna Eden</a>, who can ‘see energy’, describes the Strange Flows as “Radiant Circuits” because of the way they appear to her, as they flash &#8220;on&#8221; when needed, illuminating like Christmas lights. This contrasts with the action of Meridians, which are choreographed in a constant flow by the changing frequencies of the sun, over the course of the day and night.</p>



<p>Eden Energy Medicine explains, &#8220;<em>The radiant circuits function to ensure that all the other energy systems are working for the common good. They redistribute energies to where they are most needed, responding to any health challenge the body might encounter. In terms of evolution, the radiant circuits have been around longer than the meridians. Primitive organisms such as insects move their energies via the radiant circuits rather than through a meridian system, and the radiant circuits can be seen in the embryo before the meridians develop. As in the way that riverbeds are formed, it is as if radiant energies that habitually followed the same course became meridians. Where the meridians are tied to fixed pathways and specific organs, the radiant energies operate as fluid fields, embodying a distinct spontaneous intelligence. Like hyperlinks on a website, they jump instantly to wherever they are needed, bringing revitalization, joy, and spiritual connection. If triple warmer mobilizes your inner militia, the radiant circuits mobilize your inner mom, showering you with healing energy, providing life-sustaining resources, and lifting your morale.&#8221;</em> &#8211;<a href="https://edenenergymedicine.com/the-nine-primary-energy-systems/"> Eden Energy Medicine</a></p>



<p>The Chinese seers and Indian sages devoted themselves to understanding and cultivating their electromagnetic energies through simple, eloquent, sustainable practices including mindfulness, exercise, herbs, meditation, visualization, and massage, as the foundation for a healthy, conscious life.</p>



<p>The Penetrating Flow is one of the “Strange Flows” of Oriental Medicine. The Penetrating Flow has a number of functions, and one is to rewire the body for reproduction. It is partly responsible for the re-distribution of circulation to the sexual zones of the body. Its action has been described as the gentle feeling of butterflies in the stomach associated with falling in love, which can evolve to a warm feeling in the vicinity of the underwear, (but humans can attach many diverse emotional expressions and experiences to physical intimacy, including violence.)</p>



<p>In a remarkable irony, the same deeply internal energy field that wires humans for intimacy also manifests the survival strategy of disgust and repulsion, for example, when we smell rotten meat.</p>



<p>The body literally reorganizes its energy to prevent us from ingesting something harmful. This aspect of the Penetrating Flow can also be activated in cases of overwhelming shock and emotional upset, for example, witnessing a gruesome accident, or hearing emotionally traumatic news that overwhelms our ability to integrate and assimilate. We lose our appetite, literally.</p>



<p>The Penetrating Flow should not be actively engaged all the time. We do not want to be in a constant state of either disgust or sexual arousal, because in either state, the body&#8217;s energetic, spatial, mechanical, and bio-chemical constitution has been altered, intelligently, for a reason, but not for prolonged application.</p>



<p><strong>Seeking to Impact the Audience &#8211; Social Media, Telecommunications, and Politics as an Unprecedented Force Multiplier of Arousal, Disgust</strong>, <strong>and/or Disharmony</strong></p>



<p>When disgust, shock, stress or arousal is running the show, other capacities are diminished.</p>



<p>For example, we need to be able to digest food.</p>



<p>But we are living in an age where the advertising industry, media, and entertainment industry are constantly attempting to activate and direct energies of either arousal or disgust within us, and/or to get us to eat or buy something &#8211; often at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and for the wrong reasons. </p>



<p>Divisiveness was stoked during the pandemic and fueled a misunderstood sense of power.  Intolerance and hatred is not power. The dynamic can be re-assessed and addressed as a lower interfering energy, rather than sustained and amplified. Without question, our current political process is being driven by disgust towards those who don&#8217;t agree with us, from both sides of the political aisle, in different ways.</p>



<p>The underlying economic and political paradigm is one of exploitation, and &#8220;taking&#8221; from another, including subtle energy, data, self-governance, and the right to &#8216;the Commons,&#8221; now including space and the health of the oceans. </p>



<p><strong>Who is Minding the Store?</strong></p>



<p>The passage through adolescence and into adulthood can be viewed as learning to manage one&#8217;s own sense of personal power and self-mastery including one&#8217;s sexual energy, which includes the Penetrating Flow. The three scenarios above describing a cashier in a store can be interpreted via the dynamics of the Penetrating Flow.</p>



<p>The first transaction with an attentive cashier is neutral and does not seek to draw energy from one party to the other.</p>



<p>The second example of the cashier with the phone visible in the bra is less neutral. While seeking to appear not to be interested in others, dressing provocatively relative to cultural norms generally seeks attention from &#8220;the audience.&#8221; </p>



<p>Technology, social media, the internet, and &#8216;likes&#8217; have exponentially amplified the negatives of seeking attention from &#8216;an audience,&#8217; and the dangers inherent in an economic system and mass culture cultivating imbalance, energy illiteracy, and addiction.</p>



<p><strong>Instinct Injured Power Dynamics</strong> <strong>vs. Intention</strong></p>



<p>The third dynamic of piercing the face is more complex, and this is where we find the link to the cybertruck and displays of power.</p>



<p>Many cultures, past and present, have incorporated body piercing and tattooing for any number of reasons, <em>including beauty, and preparing for war</em>. For example, it has been reported that some Native American cultures tattooed Stomach 36, recognizing that activating and massaging the electromagnetic point known as <a href="https://yinyanghouse.com/theory/acupuncturepoints/st36/">3-mile leg on the Stomach Meridian </a>would increase endurance.</p>



<p>This is not a commentary on all manifestations of tattooing and piercing, throughout time. </p>



<p>This is about unconscious and unskilled manipulation and alteration of bioenergy, including non-benefiting and non-consensual impacts on others.</p>



<p>Discernment regarding tattooing and piercing has to do with <em>intention, and with literacy</em> (or lack of literacy) regarding the body&#8217;s energy fields.</p>



<p>When we don&#8217;t know what we are doing relative to these energies, we are lost in space and time, with unanticipated results, including the possibility of long-term health damage.</p>



<p>A &#8216;witness&#8217; with a strong intuitional body will recoil with an inborn aversion to harmful piercings on the face, for example, those that activate the start and endpoints of the Meridians, even without any formal training in energy medicine. This is because our intuitional bodies carry intelligences far beyond the conscious mind.</p>



<p>One teacher calls this his &#8220;spiny sense&#8221; of heightened alert, when we need to pay more attention to our gut instincts.</p>



<p>When our inborn energy intelligence is operational and not desensitized, we cringe and recoil at the sight of a painful-looking metal stake impaling the face because the resulting overcharged energy field in an individual or group subconsciously transmits risks. The intuitional body registers danger.</p>



<p>The practice of activating &#8216;overcharge&#8217; in the military in order to drive them into battle has been practiced in many cultures. One of the most horrific examples of loss of control occurred with the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/event/My-Lai-Massacre">My Lai massacre, during the Vietnam War</a>. (There may have been others, including in 2002, when <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/4-wives-slain-in-6-weeks-at-fort-bragg/">four wives were slain by their soldier husbands in 6 weeks</a> at Fort Bragg.) </p>



<p>Back at the store, the instinct-injured individual with the pierced eyebrows may experience the recoil of the observer&#8217;s aura as &#8216;power over another.&#8217; This dynamic unconsciously feeds the ego of the individual with the piercings. The energy exchange between the two individuals is distorted and polluted by power dynamics, (although there are energy medicine strategies available for protection from metabolizing unwanted energies, including<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz4Kd1KxQ-A"> &#8216;zipping up&#8217; the Central Meridian</a>.) </p>



<p>This dynamic may be why the piercing was done in the first place &#8211; for attention. We will never be able to figure out if piercing and tattooing can be used for healing, until we look. </p>



<p>When we give a wide berth to the metal cybertruck with its blackened windows, we experience the same invasive expression of power-over-another.</p>



<p>We know why a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/19/europe/chechnya-kadyrov-musk-tesla-cybertruck-intl/index.html">Chechen warlord was driving a gun-mounted Tesla cybertruck</a>.</p>



<p>We also know that Europeans have taken steps to make their roads safer. In a recent letter, the European Transport Safety Council, Eurocities, Clean Cities, Transport &amp; Environment, POLIS – Cities and Regions for Transport Innovation, International Federation of Pedestrians, and the European Cyclists’ Federation <strong>opposed the approval of a cybertruck on the roads in the Czech Republic.</strong></p>



<p>Carscoops <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/even-with-rubber-edges-critics-want-tesla-s-cybertruck-off-europe-s-roads/ar-AA1rYTF1">reported,</a> &#8220;Despite the required modifications, they sent a letter to the local government expressing <strong>serious concerns about the electric truck’s shape, weight, and size. </strong>Apparently, they believe that having a vehicle shaped like a giant, unyielding wedge might not be the safest choice on the roads. [] To gain approval as a privately imported vehicle, the Cybertruck’s <strong>infamous sharp edges were reluctantly dressed with rubber moldings, an attempt to make it slightly less dangerous for pedestrians</strong>—though one wonders if anyone actually feels safer. Additionally, the<strong> LED headlights and taillights were tweaked with yellow indicators to align with European regulations</strong>. [] Campaigners argue that even at this seemingly deflated weight, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carscoops.com/tag/trucks">truck</a>&nbsp;fails to meet regulations for the N1 category when fully loaded. <strong>European laws require heavy vehicles to be fitted with speed limiters,</strong> a rule that seems to have been overlooked in this case. The letter doesn’t stop there. It highlights <strong>the truck’s enormous footprint, expansive blind spots, lack of crumple zones, and extreme acceleration</strong>, all of which they say pose a real<strong> danger</strong> to pedestrians and other road users. For these reasons, campaigners argue that the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carscoops.com/tag/tesla/">Tesla</a>&nbsp;Cybertrucks currently on European roads should be de-registered and removed from public streets.<a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/even-with-rubber-edges-critics-want-tesla-s-cybertruck-off-europe-s-roads/ar-AA1rYTF1">Even With Rubber Edges, Critics Want Tesla’s Cybertruck Off Europe’s Roads (msn.com)</a></p>



<p>What we don&#8217;t know is why America ignores the implications of these armored cars,</p>



<p>Is it possible that the quest for self-mastery could eclipse monetizing &#8211; beyond the planet&#8217;s limits &#8211; the need for power imbalances? Can self-esteem be expressed as a force for good?  </p>



<p><strong>The Iceman&#8217;s Medicinal Herbs and Genetics</strong></p>



<p>The story of Ötzi implies that 5,300 years ago, the practice of tattooing certain acupuncture points was linked to sophisticated, individualized health care.</p>

<p>In 1991 “a spectacularly preserved mummy of a man who was murdered about 5,300 years ago” was unearthed. “The iceman, the oldest glacier-bound mummy ever discovered, was found by hikers in Italy&#8217;s Ötztal Alps in 1991, and since then, scientists have scrutinized almost every aspect of the man&#8217;s life,” as reported by <a href="https://www.livescience.com/63682-otzi-ice-man-took-medical-treatment.html">Live Science</a>. “Genetic analysis revealed that the iceman had a host of ailments at the time of his murder (by a blow to the head). For instance, Ötzi was a heart attack waiting to happen, with narrowed arteries, and he had arthritic knees and rotten teeth, a likely case of Lyme disease, and signs of stomach ulcers.&#8221; &#8211;<em> <a href="https://www.livescience.com/63682-otzi-ice-man-took-medical-treatment.html">Live Science </a></em></p>



<p><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1879981718300883">Possible evidence for care and treatment in the Tyrolean Iceman</a> was published in the International Journal of Paleopathology Volume 25, June 2019, Pages 110-117. The article discussed findings about what he had eaten, and outlined genetic findings.</p>



<p><strong>The Mummy and the Meridians: “Ötzi the Iceman&#8217;s Tattoos May Have Been a Primitive Form of Acupuncture”</strong></p>



<p>One of the most fascinating aspects of the story is that the international community was able to discern that <strong>“Ötzi the Iceman&#8217;s Tattoos May Have Been a Primitive Form of Acupuncture.”</strong> “In addition, the iceman was inked; Ötzi was covered in 61 tattoos. The tattoos were all simple stripes with two crosses, so <strong>they didn&#8217;t seem to be decorative</strong>. Given the look and location of these tattoos, <strong>the researchers think the markings were a form of medical treatment</strong>.” &#8220;The tattoos are all located at body regions where the iceman had some health issues and probably experienced periods of pain. For example, he had degenerative diseases of his hip, knee, ankle joints and lower back. Most of the tattoos are located [on] the legs and the lower back,&#8221; Zink said.”[] “chest tattoos may have been used to soothe belly discomfort; he had intestinal parasites and a Helicobacter pylori infection. And <strong>some of the inked spots corresponded to traditional acupuncture &#8220;pressure points,&#8221;</strong> suggesting to some researchers that the iceman underwent a form of acupuncture, Zink said. (Most scientists believe acupuncture first arose in China, and the first written description of it derives from 2,200 years ago, but it could have arisen earlier in some other location, like Europe, Zink said.) At the time of his death, the iceman had a &#8220;medicinal mushroom&#8221; known as birch polypore in his digestive system. Birch polypore is thought to have anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing properties, Zink said. Ötzi had also consumed ferns, which could have been either a primitive food wrapper that Ötzi mistakenly ate or a treatment to kill off the parasitic worms that plagued the iceman, Zink said.” – <a href="https://www.livescience.com/63682-otzi-ice-man-took-medical-treatment.html">Live Science</a> </p>



<p>Smithsonian Magazine reported <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/what-otzi-icemans-tattoos-reveal-about-copper-age-medical-practices-180970244">“What Ötzi the Iceman’s Tattoos Reveal About Copper Age Medical Practices. New study argues that the 5,300-year-old Iceman’s community boasted surprisingly advanced health care techniques.”</a> The article’s lead photo caption reads, “The Iceman&#8217;s tattoos align with classic acupuncture points, and the plants found amongst his belongings have well-known medical applications.”</p>



<p>Science Magazine also stated,” <a href="https://www.science.org/content/article/5000-year-old-iceman-may-have-benefited-sophisticated-health-care-system">5000-year-old ‘Iceman&#8217; may have benefited from a sophisticated health care system</a>, New look at Ötzi’s tattoos and medicines suggest complex medical culture,” also linking to locations of his 61 tattoos to the healing science of acupuncture.</p>



<p>“Previous studies have found that Ötzi carried a number of suspected medicines either on him or in him. Fastened to leather bands in his equipment, researchers found the birch polypore fungus, which the Iceman may have used to calm inflammation or as an antibiotic. Scientists also found bracken fern in his stomach, which can be used to treat intestinal parasites such as tapeworm. And Ötzi was covered with 61 tattoos [] including dotlike points around joints, which some researchers believe may have been used as pain treatment akin to an early form of acupuncture.</p>



<p>In the new study, scientists took a closer look at Ötzi&#8217;s tattoos. Some lines and dots were directly over his wrist and ankles which suffered from degenerative diseases, and many correspond to traditional acupuncture points, they report in the International Journal of Paleopathology. The markings would have taken a long time to produce, and this sophisticated practice—along with the variety of herbs and medicines—would have likely been developed through <strong>a dedicated, systematic trial-and-error approach</strong> that was passed down through generations in the society in which Ötzi lived, the team concludes. All of this—combined with the sophisticated use of plants and fungi to treat ailments—suggests Ötzi <strong>was part of a culture with some knowledge of anatomy, how diseases arise, and how to treat them,</strong> the scientists say. <em>What they don&#8217;t know is whether any of these treatments actually worked.” – <a href="https://www.science.org/content/article/5000-year-old-iceman-may-have-benefited-sophisticated-health-care-system">Science.org</a></em></p>



<p><strong>“What they don&#8217;t know is whether any of these treatments actually worked” Reflects that Our Current Mass Consumer Culture and For-profit Medical Culture is Sustained by Our &#8216;Not Knowing&#8217; and Our Unwillingness to Look</strong></p>



<p>Scientists were able to examine a 5,300-year-old corpse and recognize the direct connection with acupuncture maps. But &#8220;Science.org&#8221; reported that “we don’t know whether any of these treatments worked.” It<em> wasn’t</em> because the Western mainstream medical industry is not aware that Chinese medicine has mapped out the electromagnetic pathways in the body, as the foundation of both self-care and healing, designed to harmonize the organism with the Cosmic Current that choreographs all of life on Earth.</p>



<p>It also was <em>not </em>because scientists had no idea where the points or pathways are, or what capacities they might carry. A simple search online will offer links to images of the Meridian pathways and their point applications, available to all.</p>



<p>It<em> is </em>related to the fact that we do not want to evaluate the effects of our wireless devices and technologies on our electromagnetic energies, because if we did, we would have to address the harm. The centralized power structure does not want to let go of the top-down power, control, and concentrated wealth enabled by data, and the consumers do not want to let go of the convenience, sense of personal power and control, and the 24/7 dopamine drip.</p>



<p>The dismissive conclusion by Science.org <em>is </em>related to entrenched economic interests that foster insidious intellectual arrogance.</p>



<p>For example, in 2021, Psychology Today published, &#8220;<a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/science-made-practical/202103/believing-acupuncture-works-doesn-t-mean-it-actually-does">Believing Acupuncture Works Doesn’t Mean It Actually Does</a>, Acupuncture is alluring pseudoscience.&#8217; In 2024, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevensalzberg/2024/01/29/no-washington-post-acupuncture-still-doesnt-work/">No, Washington Post, Acupuncture Still Doesn’t Work</a>, was published by Forbes. In July of 2024, Science-Based Medicine published<a href="https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/acupuncture-and-evidence-based-medicine/"> &#8220;Acupuncture and Evidence Based Medicine&#8221;</a> <em>The plausibility of acupuncture is very low, because there is no known mechanism, and outside of short-term pain and nausea reduction, for any medical application of acupuncture there is no plausible even theoretical mechanism.</em></p>



<p>We can assume that none of these organizations humbled themselves to attempt to understand the science that underlies Chinese Medicine. Recognition is power. </p>



<p>Albert Eistein observed, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” </p>



<p><strong>Piercing the Energy Pathways</strong></p>

<p>When we overlay piercings with available maps of the Meridian pathways and electromagnetic energies, we can see that the woman with the metal embedded in the inside corner of her eyes may be causing harm to her <a href="https://yinyanghouse.com/theory/acupuncturepoints/bladder_meridian_graphic/">Bladder Meridian</a> and the associated resonant field. The woman with the piercing on the outer edges of the Eyebrow may be adversely impacting the <a href="https://yinyanghouse.com/theory/acupuncturepoints/gallbladder_meridian_graphic/">Gall Bladder</a> and <a href="https://yinyanghouse.com/theory/acupuncturepoints/tripleheater_meridian_graphic/">Triple Heater</a> meridian energies. Indiscriminately activating these Yang meridians is most likely not without consequence.</p>



<p>Understanding and balancing these energies could instead become the basis of a healing and self-care renaissance.</p>



<p><strong>When Things Don&#8217;t Look the Way They Should</strong></p>



<p>My friend&#8217;s dog is miserable each October when the neighborhood is decorated for Halloween and monsters and goblins are flapping in the wind. His inborn alarm system is registering risk, because things don&#8217;t look the way that they should.</p>



<p>There are too many things in our environment that don&#8217;t look the way that they should look, that have been normalized by our unrelenting exposures and desensitization, as well as addictions.</p>



<p>One of the most alarming issues is the inescapable transmission of ubiquitous layers of artificial manmade EMF/RF/5G frequencies into the airwaves, juxtaposed with the practice of instinct-injured metal piercings, because <strong>metal acts as an antenna</strong>. Piercings can become unintentional antennas for harmful internalized exposures</p>



<p>International RF regulations regarding exposures do not account for metal in the body, including implants.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>There should be an open debate about the safety of&nbsp;<strong>radio frequency and microwave radiation</strong>. &#8211; <a href="https://rfinfo.co.uk/">Home &#8211; RFInfo</a></p>
</blockquote>



<p><strong>Confronting &#8216;Overcharge&#8217;</strong></p>



<p>Warriors have used various strategies to place themselves into a state of frenzied overdrive in order to inflict pain on others in battle, and our Penetrating Flows understand this mechanism. Our energy intelligence recognizes the risks and the imbalance, even if we do not possess conscious awareness. </p>



<p>We can&#8217;t come to understand or even study the actions of the Radiant Circuits by examining cadavers, or by studying laboratory animals under controlled conditions.</p>



<p>Our current science paradigm can&#8217;t support the level of integration that is needed to return each individual to self-mastery and self-sovereignty.</p>



<p>Insight and change can come from the choices of individuals, everywhere, to stop riding an unexamined, distorted technology wave.</p>



<p>We need to re-sensitize ourselves to our inborn wisdom; and to use our energetic capacities as good medicine for one another and our home planet. For example, the physical body has the ability to provide individual feedback about a particular food or medication. Our &#8216;scientific&#8217; method of conducting double blind testing drugs against a placebo on groups is a gamble at best, and manslaughter in far too many cases.</p>



<p><strong>Energy Intelligence in Action</strong> </p>



<p>We can redirect our focus to the still quiet sensory system inside that recoils at the sight of the unexamined juxtapositions of technology and biology&#8230; including earbuds near the brain, a person eating GMO altered industrialized  junk food, a cellphone held against the head, a transmitter on a whale, a rocket laden with weapons and antennas heading into space, a cell tower next to a home or nursery school, a teen with low self-esteem encountering pornography or bullying on the internet, a child in the Congo mining cobalt, a connected vehicle spewing RF; a cell phone carried over the heart in a shirt pocket, tucked in a bra, or near the reproductive organs; a child throwing a tantrum and being soothed by a device, thousands of satellites filling the Low Earth atmosphere for which we have no trash pick-up.</p>



<p>Meta-studies by compromised experts and industry will not give us the right answers.</p>



<p>Many of these technologies have unleashed unspeakable harm on those who are more sensitive to artificial frequencies, especially women and children.</p>



<p>We need a new litmus test to determine whether a new invention, technology, or consumer product is designed to serve the greater good.</p>



<p>For example, the clean energy community indicted itself when it ignored the profound suffering and disability caused by wireless smart utility meters, installed under the guise of sustainability while enabling massive surveillance. If a manufacturer or government does not conduct appropriate pre-market testing, and does not address reported harm, claims regarding benefits are not legitimate. When those experiencing damage are on the receiving end of the disgust, marginalization, and ridicule that is powered by the Penetrating Flow and the manipulation of the media, dual use technologies causing harm don&#8217;t receive appropriate scrutiny.</p>



<p></p>



<p>Like the helix that represents our DNA, our inventiveness has been traveling away from the laws that govern our biology and our internal and external environment. We are at the bending, the point of tension where we need to shift our trajectory. </p>

An introductory overview (1 hour 18 minutes) of the interactive day-long professional CEU training is available free online<strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEMfGMdo-iM"> here</a>.</strong> Michele created a body feedback system rooted in TCM acupuncture that uses Six Level Theory to diagnose and treat EHS.From Michele’s feedback system, in the first stage, EMF infiltrates the body via two meridian pathways: Small Intestine, and Urinary Bladder. &nbsp; In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Small Intestine is associated with the entire enteric nervous system, ie the ‘gut. Michelle Meramour explains “In the Body-Feedback system, the tai yang meridians (Small intestine and Urinary Bladder) correspond with the hypothalamus, which determines how information is processed through the autonomic nervous system. The hypothalamus then creates hormones via the pituitary gland and endocrine system connection. Symptoms of EMFs affecting tai yang include poor quality sleep, general hypersensitivity, ANS dysfunction, weak immune function, and moodiness.” As she addresses the other five levels of disharmony associated with the five additional meridian pairs, she discusses histamines, allergies, MAST cell activation, chronic inflammation, and manifestations of deeper levels of imbalance that are very familiar to the EHS patient and practitioner population, including cardiac conditions.</p>

<p>The origins of acupuncture are implied to have been derived from &#8220;trial and error&#8221; by the Science.org. However, it is known there are individuals who have the ability to &#8220;see energy.&#8221;  An alternative history indicates that the sages could &#8216;see&#8217; energy and codified the knowledge for all. The alternative narrative also implies that many indigenous groups had/have the capability to &#8216;see&#8217; energy, providing the ability to identify beneficial herbs, etc. even without use of the written word, but were reluctant to explain to conquerors how they accessed their expertise.  His-story is his story&#8230;interpreted by the dominator culture, and subject to further evolution. Yours, mine, everyone&#8217;s.</p>

<p>What if we are overlooking something obvious, right in front of us, right at the tips of our fingers?</p>



<p>What if Chinese Medicine could help us end this health disaster? </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Missing the Message of Olympic Massage: Energy Pathways</strong></p>



<p>There are a few articles “making the rounds” in the mainstream media about round bruises clearly visible on the bodies of Olympic swimmers. The bruising is explained by the press as being caused by an Asian massage technique known as “cupping.” Swimmer Michael Phelps brought widespread attention to the phenomenon during the Rio Olympics in 2016. &nbsp;</p>

<p>But in the last 8 years, since Rio, Western society still has not learned much about the practice and its implications, as exemplified in an <a href="https://www.eurosport.com/olympics/olympic-games-paris-2024/2024/why-do-swimmers-have-dark-red-circles-spots-on-their-bodies-backs-cupping_sto20022467/story.shtml">article by Eurosport</a>.</p>



<p>The article quotes ‘health experts’ who imply that the benefits may be <strong>“in the head”</strong> “because it makes the athletes feel better.”</p>



<p><em>“Despite anecdotal evidence from athletes, the scientific community remains divided on the benefits of cupping. <strong>Studies have shown mixed results,</strong> with some suggesting minor improvements for conditions like neck or back pain, while <strong>others find no significant impact</strong>. Harvard Medical School said the evidence is too limited to make any firm conclusions. Pharmacologist professor David Colquhoun, from University College London, dismissed the technique to the BBC as just a bit of skin pulling that wouldn’t affect the muscle much.</em> <em>He said: &#8220;It’s what [British physician] Ben Goldacre would call &#8211; a voluntary tax on the <strong>gullible</strong>.&#8221;</em> <em>But many athletes along with celebrities like Gwenyth Paltrow, Justin Bieber and Jennifer Anniston seem to publicly endorse this form of massage therapy. <strong>And if Olympians think cupping makes them feel better, it could</strong>.

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>What if</strong> i<strong>t is Not ‘in the Head’ But in Unseen Electromagnetic Pathways?</strong></p>



<p>Individuals with some background in the Meridian System of Chinese Medicine may be aware that cupping is not “in the mind/head,” nor would it be appropriately evaluated “in the muscles.” &nbsp;Cupping has a foundation in an ancient science-based paradigm that mapped out electromagnetic pathways and activation points in the human energy field (and in animals as well) <em>that we in the West have yet to understand.</em></p>

<p>‘Experts’ Harvard Medical School, Pharmacologist professor David Colquhoun, and British physician Ben Goldacre (quoted in the cupping article) imply that the effects of cupping are either non-existent or imaginary.</p>



<p>Are Western experts quoted in the media not consulting the correct science-based paradigm?</p>



<p>And, is this an enduring expression of intellectual arrogance and cultural prejudice towards accumulated wisdom <em>for which the West has no knowledge</em>?</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Small Intestine 11: Shoulder Blade</strong></p>



<p>If the photographs of the cupping locations in swimmers are compared to the pathway of the Small Intestine Meridian in Chinese medicine, do new understandings arise? &nbsp;</p>



<p>Activation of Small Intestine 11 for Olympic swimmers is a case in point.</p>



<p>A detailed explanation (including the evocative name, and applications for points) is available to Westerners, in reference books, and on –line, for example, <a href="https://yinyanghouse.com/theory/acupuncturepoints/si11/">here</a>, for each point location on the Small Intestine’s pathway. Point locations possess specific qualities.</p>



<p><em>The acupuncture point &#8220;SI 11&#8221; , 天宗, is represented by &#8220;Tian Zong&#8221; in pinyin and &#8220;Celestial Gathering&#8221; in English, The acupuncture point &#8220;SI 11&#8221; , 天宗, is represented by &#8220;Tian Zong&#8221; in pinyin and &#8220;Celestial Gathering&#8221; in English. Of many possible clinical applications, it may be considered to influence the following issues/symptoms: Breast problems, mastitis, insufficient lactation, breast pain. Emotional issues, anxiety that presents with asthma, <strong>expands and relaxes the chest</strong>, asthma generally. Local point for channel pain within the shoulder, scapula region, elbow, arm, face and jaw.&nbsp; A single acupuncture point is not commonly thought of as an empirical way to influence a TCM diagnostic pattern. SI11, however, is a strong candidate to be incorporated into an acupuncture protocol for patients who exhibit: Liver Qi Stagnation and/or Lung Qi Deficiency</em>.&nbsp; <a href="https://yinyanghouse.com/theory/acupuncturepoints/si11/">SOURCE</a></p>



<p>It seems obvious that activating the Lungs would support athletic prowess, but what is a Meridian?</p>



<p>How is it that a point on the Small Intestine Meridian would affect the Lungs?</p>



<p>Generally speaking, in the Western mainstream medical model and media, and in our daily lives, <em>we have no idea. </em>Yet. For householders in many Asian cultures, this is not the case.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Applying Expertise in Energy Medicine</strong></p>



<p>The ancient Chinese seers were not focused on cultivating Olympic athletes. Although point description translations apply to symptom treatment, if one views the lines of energy that correlate to these pathways and to the related energetic fields, it is not difficult to imagine that they might help to activate, enhance, and stimulate athletic power &#8211; <em>if we knew how.</em></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Systems Analysis: Yoga</strong></p>



<p>When Indian yoga was brought to the West, in many cases, it was taken out of its context and assimilated only in parts, primarily the physical exercises. Increased flexibility was the perceived result.</p>



<p>Despite the fact that yoga was providing benefits to many practitioners, an understanding of the overall energetic framework was missing in many American traditions. Posture flows were prescribed in an autocratic method by Indian masters without explanation, and/or teachers developed their own styles. &nbsp;</p>



<p>When my colleague Daniel Orlansky began juxtaposing Indian yoga poses with the Meridians of Chinese Medicine, the connection between the ancient paradigms revealed itself. The poses could be classified by the meridians activated, and the poses could be practiced in an orderly and intentional fashion for increased benefit, to bring harmony to the entire energy system. </p>



<p>The science behind the exercise forms came alive. (This experience of pattern recognition and transcendent thinking via one’s own direct experience, in fact, alters brain development in a beneficial way, as described in <a href="https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-03-transcendent-teens-brains.html">this study</a>.) &nbsp;</p>



<p>What does all of this have to do with cancer?</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Energetic Implications of 17 Increasing Cancers</strong></p>



<p>It might seem insignificant to the mass culture that some competitive athletes have accessed an unusual, foreign, bruising form of bodywork that may have an impact on their performance, especially with the media implying that it’s “In their heads.”</p>



<p>But the consequences are profound if the American Cancer Society and others are getting it completely wrong regarding the dramatic increase in cancer in young people.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/cancer-rates-in-millennials-gen-x-ers-have-risen-starkly-in-recent-years-study-finds-experts-have-1-prime-suspect/ar-BB1qZ0pL"><strong>MSNBC:</strong></a><strong> “Cancer rates in millennials, Gen X-ers have risen starkly in recent years, study finds. Experts have 1 prime suspect.”</strong></p>



<p><em>“Experts are sounding the alarm as rates of 17 types of cancer in millennials and Gen X-ers have risen dramatically in recent years, a new study shows<strong>. For certain cancers, people born in 1990 face two-to-three times the risks that those born in 1955 did</strong>, according to the research published in the journal Lancet Public Health. The findings echo <strong>the recent worrying rise in young people developing colorectal cancer</strong>, but add more forms of the disease to the list of concerns.” []</em></p>



<p><em>Researchers with the American Cancer Society (ACS) assessed rates of 34 different cancers among those born between 1920 and 1990, based on how many were diagnosed with or died of the disease from 2000 to 2019.</em></p>



<p><em>On average, <strong>the rates of 17 types of cancer, including pancreatic, breast and gastric cancer, have risen with each new generation since 1920</strong>, the study found. <strong>Previous ACS research had shown that rates of 11 cancers, including pancreatic, colorectal, kidney, uterine and testicular cancer, had been increasing among young adults</strong>. The new study added eight more types of cancer to that list:</em></p>



<p><em>Gastric cardia cancer (a cancer of the stomach lining)</em></p>



<p><em>Cancer of the small intestine</em></p>



<p><em>Estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer</em></p>



<p><em>Ovarian cancer</em></p>



<p><em>Liver and bile duct cancer</em></p>



<p><em>Non-HPV-associated oral and pharynx cancer (only in women)</em></p>



<p><em>Anal cancer (only in men)</em></p>



<p><em>Kaposi sarcoma (a cancer of the blood vessel lining and lymph nodes, only in men)</em></p>



<p><strong><em>Rates doubled or even tripled for some of these cancers, including kidney, pancreatic and small intestine cancers, in people of either gender</em></strong><em>. For women, liver cancer incidence has increased two- to threefold since the 1920s<strong>. Even cancers that seemed to be in decline for baby boomers and other older generations — including some breast cancers and testicular cancer — are now a greater risk again to millennials and Gen X-ers</strong>, the study found.</em></p>



<p><strong><em>More young people are dying of some of these cancers as well;</em></strong><em> mortality from colorectal, gallbladder, testicular and uterine cancers has increased over the generations, as has the fatality rate of liver cancer, but only for women. “That really stood out because the concurrent increase in mortality [and diagnoses] suggests that what we see is not just an artifact due to potentially more frequent screening and diagnosis,” lead study author and senior principal scientist of surveillance and health equity science with ACS, Hyuna Sung, tells Yahoo Life. “Instead, <strong>it indicates a genuine increase in risk</strong>, with the increases in incidence sufficient to outpace improvements” in diagnostics and treatment.</em></p>



<p><em>While the new study doesn’t answer why this is happening, Sung and other experts have a prime suspect in their sights: <strong>obesity.</strong> Ten out of 17 of the cancers that are becoming more common over the generations have been linked to obesity, the study authors noted.&#8221; &#8211;</em><a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/cancer-rates-in-millennials-gen-x-ers-have-risen-starkly-in-recent-years-study-finds-experts-have-1-prime-suspect/ar-BB1qZ0pL"> SOURCE </a><em>&nbsp;</em></p>



<p><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/health/cancer/cancer-gen-x-millennials-17-types-reverse-trend-rcna164376"><strong>NBC News reported</strong></a><strong>, <em>“Gen X, millennials face higher risk of 17 cancers than older generations Researchers aren’t sure why but say a combination of factors, including obesity, more sedentary behavior, common medications or chemical exposures, is possible.”</em></strong></p>



<p><em>“A study published Wednesday in Lancet Public Health found that Gen X and millennials are more likely to be diagnosed with 17 types of cancer, including nine that had been declining in older adults. Researchers aren’t sure why, but say obesity is likely a leading cause.”</em></p>



<p><em>“Rates of colorectal cancer — one of the 17 types — have been rising among younger people for decades, a troubling trend that sparked investigation into other types of cancer.”</em></p>



<p><em>Sung and her colleagues used cancer diagnosis and mortality data from two databases –– the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries and the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics –– to analyze </em>cancer trends in people born between 1920 and 1990, who were diagnosed with cancer between 2000 and 2019.</p>



<p><em>The data included <strong>34 types of cancer, nearly 24 million diagnoses and more than 7 million deaths. </strong>To get a better view of how cancer diagnoses and mortality rates changed in groups of people born around the same year — called a birth cohort — the researchers grouped people by birth year in five-year intervals. For example, people born in 1920 through 1924 were all one birth cohort.</em></p>



<p><strong><em>Seventeen of the 34 cancers had increasing incidence in younger people.</em></strong><em> The risk was two to three times higher in people born in 1990 for pancreatic, kidney and small intestine cancers, compared to people born in 1955. Liver cancer diagnoses in women followed the same pattern.</em></p>



<p><em>“The most important thing it tells us is there is something that changed for the group of individuals born after this period of time. They have been exposed to some environmental or lifestyle factor that is leading to this shift,” said Dr. Andrea Cercek, a gastrointestinal medical oncologist at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, who was not involved with the research.&nbsp; []</em></p>



<p><em>“All of these cancers are linked to the obesity epidemic. We know that’s the second-leading cause of cancer right now, behind tobacco use,” said Dr. Otis Brawley, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Oncology and Epidemiology Johns Hopkins University, who was not involved with the new study.</em></p>



<p><strong><em>About 20% of cancer diagnoses in the U.S. are linked to excess body weight</em></strong><em>, according to the American Cancer Society. Obesity rates in the nation changed little in the 1960s and 1970s but increased sharply after that. <strong>About 13% of adults had obesity in 1980, compared to 34% in 2008</strong>, according to data from the Surgeon General. []</em></p>



<p><em>If obesity is a culprit, it’s likely one of several lifestyle and environmental factors that is leading to the rise. Other factors could be more sedentary behavior or something in the food or the water, common medications or chemical exposures or chemical agents, the experts said.” &#8211; </em><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/health/cancer/cancer-gen-x-millennials-17-types-reverse-trend-rcna164376">SOURCE</a></p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Promise of Applying Meridian Science to Cancer (and Neurological Deaths, and Childhood Illnesses)</strong></p>



<p>We have the potential to reconsider the rise in certain cancers, including and especially impacting individuals of reproductive ages, within the context of knowledge that is available to us regarding meridians and electromagnetic fields, from both China and Russia.  &nbsp;</p>



<p>We have the blueprints. </p>



<p>It seems logical that in order to determine if manmade artificial electromagnetic fields are interfering with health, that we would want to monitor the Meridians.</p>



<p>Looking at the image of the Large Intestine Meridian and the issue of colon cancer, are there implications for the meridian starting at the tip of the index finger, and the electromagnetic fields that are being introduced into the body via texting and using a computer mouse?</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

</div>


<p>See #1 on the image. There may be no connection, <em>but we have not bothered to ask.</em> </p>



<p>Pulsed electromagnetic fields are being explored to treat cancer, in part because of the impact on the cell walls, as noted <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-27605-4">here. </a>&nbsp;Why have ubiquitous exposures not been studied or regulated for adverse effects on human health and the environment, <em>despite reported harm</em>?</p>



<p>We are holding <a href="https://ehtrust.org/in-historic-decision-federal-court-finds-fcc-failed-to-explain-why-it-ignored-scientific-evidence-showing-harm-from-wireless-radiation/">an unsubstantiated assumption about safety</a>.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Obesity as a Symptom and Not as a Cause</strong>?</p>



<p>The Spleen/Pancreas, which is responsible for distributing <em>chi </em>to the different organ systems, may be one of the most vulnerable to electromagnetic pollution, along with the Kidneys, which are akin to batteries.</p>



<p>How does this relate to cancer rates?</p>



<p>The study’s authors propose that obesity may be contributing to the dramatic rise in cancer rates, (although only linked in 20% of the cancer cases)</p>



<p>There is another possibility – that obesity is a symptom, related to Spleen/Pancreas electrical pollution, and not a cause. Dr. Jack Kruse is one of the experts who proposes that obesity as well as blood sugar alterations are being caused by exposures to artificial electromagnetic fields, perhaps in an effort to insulate and protect the body? (Wide-ranging interview with <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/kruse">Dr. Jack Kruse</a> and the <a href="https://romanshapoval.substack.com/">Power Couple</a> here).</p>



<p>Attorney <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qg0H63GLkU">Dafna Tachover</a> also spoke of the phenomenon nearly a decade ago when she became EMF injured.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Not all &#8220;in the Head&#8221; &#8211; and the Derogatory Use of the Word</strong></p>



<p>Cupping wasn’t codified to support Olympic athletes, and the benefits of cupping can’t be quantified by using an overlay of the West’s limited understanding of massage. </p>



<p>The mainstream media and medical experts have downplayed the idea that cupping actually provides any benefit to athletes, implying that it may be “all in their heads.” </p>



<p>Unfortunately, this is not the only example of this dismissive attitude. Complaints of injury caused by exposures to wireless exposures, dirty electricity, electric fields, and magnetic fields have been denied and ignored for decades, in favor of the military industrial complex that has increasingly turned in on its own citizens via surveillance, akin to an auto-immune disease.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Gall Bladder Meridian and Health</strong></p>



<p>When I look at an image of an Olympic track and field sprinter at the starting blocks, I immediately envision the Gall Bladder Meridian in a deep contraction. The Gall Bladder meridian’s energy enables a hockey player or soccer player to anticipate which way the opponent is going to move, from right to left.&nbsp; The reaction is faster than the speed of a thought processed through the conscious mind. </p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" width="378" height="502" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/gall-bladder-energy.png" alt="" class="wp-image-22544" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/gall-bladder-energy.png 378w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/gall-bladder-energy-226x300.png 226w" sizes="(max-width: 378px) 100vw, 378px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Image Courtesy Daniel Orlansky                                                          </em><a href="https://www.yogaofenergyflow.com/"><em>Yoga of Energy Flow</em></a></figcaption></figure>
</div>


<p>It operates on the same energy that allows a school of fish to move together.</p>



<p>In the West we have failed to recognize the need to recognize, cultivate and safeguard these frameworks. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Gall Bladder Meridian and Health Damages</strong></p>



<p>When I look at the Gall Bladder Meridian image and note the way that the pathway wraps around the skull, I also see the basis for the many symptoms being reported due to technological overreach, in this case, harm associated with smart meters.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" width="724" height="555" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/mr-smarty-pants.png" alt="" class="wp-image-22545" style="width:732px;height:auto" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/mr-smarty-pants.png 724w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/mr-smarty-pants-300x230.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/mr-smarty-pants-600x460.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy <a href="http://emfsafetynetwork.org/">EMF Safety Network</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>I see hip and knee pain, and headaches, and brain fog, and eye pressure, and a brain that is unable to detoxify – all of which can lead to disease, dysfunction, and the demand for medications and surgeries that do not address the underlying cause.</p>



<p>I also see breast tumors on the right side, in addition to colon cancers, perhaps because of so much right-handed mouse use. </p>



<p>I see major postural deviations from individuals hunched over devices, compressing the lungs and heart.</p>



<p>Why have so many people need to have their Gall Bladder surgically removed? Is this any wiser than the routine removal of tonsils in the 1960s? Or, is removing the organ akin to taking the light bulb out of the car’s dashboard warning light?</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Another View of Fight or Flight</strong></p>



<p>I have a theory, which is that the Gall Bladder is an electrical bodyguard, designed to directionally detect a hazard found in nature – a lightning strike. </p>



<p>The alarm system is worn out.</p>



<p>The term &#8220;fight or flight&#8221; was coined as a response to war (and studying male soldiers.) </p>



<p>Early Western studies of stress did not emerge from mystics seeking to determine how to become more efficient and effective conduits of the Cosmic Current.</p>



<p>A chronically over-charged, time-stressed society is not aware of the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, nor does it possess a roadmap for recognizing symptoms of imbalance.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Cancer and infertility are “late lessons from early warnings.”</p>



<p>The ancient Chinese culture developed expertise in Meridians for self-care and householder use and identified and addressed energetic imbalances before they manifested as illnesses. They used natural methods including massage, pressure points, meridian tracing, herbs, medicinal foods, stretching, visualization, and meditation, and accessed care via experts only when needed. </p>



<p>Recognition of the brain’s glymphatic system, and chronobiology, are only in their infancy in the West, but were recognized thousands of years ago in the East.</p>



<p> An Eastern based mind -body practice can offer self-diagnostic and self-corrective strategies, through embodied observation. </p>



<p>Self-care and skilled care of loved ones, without technology, can be reclaimed.</p>



<p>Do we line up behind the promise of life on Mars via extreme resource consumption and artificial energy expenditure, or do we decide to learn how to harmonize our bodies with the Cosmos, here on Earth, using our inborn lifeforce and birthright, to master the lessons and receive the gifts of our own unique incarnation?</p>



<p>As Peter Levine observed, “In a herd of deer, we need some super-sensitive ones. They are the ones that will hear that teeniest little crack or smell the one or two molecules of scent from the mountain lion that’s stalking them. Their job is to use their hyper-sensitivity to alert the whole group.”  Some individuals are like the dogs who warned sheep herders of an approaching storm. </p>



<p>Seventeen increasing cancers in younger generations is more than an alert, It&#8217;s an emergency.</p>



<p>Will we rethink our wireless dependencies and resulting demands on the environment?</p>



<p>In my opinion, if we are not willing to look at the RF/EMF issue, relative to cancer, to the Gall Bladder, to obesity, to childhood diseases and device addictions, to chronic illness, and to skyrocketing neurological death rates, we need to have our heads examined.</p>

<p>Incrementalism Controlled by Industry: Labeling and &#8216;Light&#8217; Cigarettes? Are We Going to Do This Again?</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Transcendent Thinking</strong></p>



<p>Several stories have been featured in the <a href="https://patriciaburke.substack.com/">Safe Tech International News Substack</a> about research confirming the benefits of hand-written notes over keyboards and screens, for comprehension and retention.</p>



<p>University of Southern California researchers have also reported recently that ‘transcendent thinking’ actually increases brain size.</p>



<p class="has-small-font-size"><em>“The more a teen grappled with the bigger picture and tried to learn from the stories, the more that teen increased the coordination between brain networks over the next two years, regardless of their IQ or their socioeconomic status. This brain growth—not how a teen&#8217;s brain compared to other teens&#8217; brains but how a teen&#8217;s brain compared to their own brain two years earlier—in turn predicted important developmental milestones, like identity development in the late teen years and life satisfaction in young adulthood, about five years later.</em></p>



<p class="has-small-font-size"><em>In previous studies, the authors had shown that when teens and adults think about issues and situations in a transcendent way, many brain systems coordinate their activity, among them two major networks important for psychological functioning: the executive control network and the default mode network. The executive control network is involved in managing focused and goal-directed thinking, while the default mode network is active during all kinds of thinking that transcends the &#8220;here and now,&#8221; such as when recalling personal experiences, imagining the future, feeling enduring emotions such as compassion, gratitude, and admiration for virtue, daydreaming or thinking creatively.</em></p>



<p class="has-small-font-size"><em>The findings reveal a novel predictor of brain development—transcendent thinking. The researchers believe transcendent thinking may grow the brain because it requires coordinating brain networks involved in effortful, focused thinking, like the executive control network, with those involved in internal reflection and free-form thinking, like the default mode network.” </em><a href="https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-03-transcendent-teens-brains.html"> Source</a></p>



<p>The implications of the research on devices and cognition and learning for school budgets and a growth economy beholden to Ed Tech companies are staggering.</p>



<p>And therefore, not being addressed. &nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Inclusive Thinking</strong></p>



<p>In <a href="https://patriciaburke.substack.com/p/5g-emf-rf-evolutionary-capacity-wisdom-vs-tech-overreach-pretend-progress">a previous blog</a>, I noted that <a href="https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/">Nate Hagens</a>&nbsp;interviewed Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti, the Dean of the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria, discussing ‘hospicing modernity’ (also the title of her new book)<em>”in order to move beyond the world we’ve come to know and the failed promises that “modernity” has made to our current culture.”</em></p>



<p><em>“It is related to opening that lid as we expand our capacity to see the different moving layers of complexity, to let go of the attachment to certainty, control, coherence, and consumption of things, to be able to sit with difficult, painful, and complex things without feeling overwhelmed or immobilized.” &nbsp;</em></p>



<p><em>“We, here, we talk about developing the stomach. To face the amount of shit that we need to compost without throwing up, without throwing a tantrum, and without throwing in the towel.“&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/125-vanessa-andreotti">Source</a></em></p>



<p>I would add another category to her guidance.</p>



<p>We are in need of future-makers who can sit with the complexities, who will not throw a tantrum, will not throw in the towel, will not throw up, and <strong>who will not throw others under the bus.</strong></p>



<p>It’s not an exact fit, but the tech industry as a whole has been somewhat like the Grinch –hating the Whos.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Whos are the community of individuals who have been seeking to steer the tech industry and society off of the collision course with biology, including harm to the environment and human health, caused by inappropriate and unsafe technology choices, especially wireless.</p>

<p>This is exemplified by the ‘smart&#8217; meter debacle.</p>



<p>A wave of opposition started to build around 2010 when smart meters were installed, and some people got really sick. </p>



<p>Others were hurt, but didn’t’ recognize why, (nor did their health care providers in most cases.)</p>

</div></figure>



<p>If only it were just the utilities and the wireless industry that hated the Whos. But it wasn’t.</p>



<p>Many leading environmental &#8220;green energy&#8221; groups and politicians were so concerned about the planet that they joined the tech industries, in hating the Whos.</p>



<p>They did not mind in the least throwing the Whos under the bus, diagnosing them as mentally ill with an imaginary condition, and then moving to a more politically correct narrative – “these people are really suffering but it has nothing to do with us.”</p>



<p>The industry mantra was mistaken for appropriate research, policy making, and <a href="https://emfconference2021.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">medical care.</a> </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Thinking About Right Timing</strong></p>



<p>We could be fifteen years ahead in addressing the outdated science, and the <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/smart-meter-update-late-lessons-from-early-warnings-still/">tobacco science,</a> literally, that is underlying much of our wireless tech expansion.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="812" height="573" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/valberg-NCSL.png" alt="" class="wp-image-22169" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/valberg-NCSL.png 812w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/valberg-NCSL-300x212.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/valberg-NCSL-768x542.png 768w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/valberg-NCSL-600x423.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 812px) 100vw, 812px" /></figure>



<p><em>These are actual tobacco scientists, being referenced by the NCSL (National Conference of State Legislators) to federal decision makers in 2012.</em></p>



<p>As the European Environmental Agency notes in its case studies of<a href="https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/late-lessons-2"> Late Lessons from Early Warnings,</a> a focus on safety fosters innovation. &nbsp;And failure to adopt the Precautionary Principle increases costs and carnage.</p>



<p>Many industries could pro-actively yield to emerging evidence of harm and pivot to appropriate course corrections and analogue options, instead of playing deny/defend/attack Whack-A-Mole, as the smart meter industry did when issues with privacy, billing, hacking, security, fires, green-washing, grid pollution, planned obsolescence, and injuries emerged.</p>



<p>When companies and empires fail to respond in a timely manner to risk and harm, the tension becomes more destructive over time. This cannot be blamed on those speaking to truth.</p>



<p>Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti observed, “<em>We&#8217;re working with sanctioned ignorances that are rewarded. So whenever you present this information, there is a response and a reaction to deny this information again.”</em></p>



<p>This can change.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Incrementalism Controlled by Industry: Labeling and Light Cigarettes? Are We Going to Do This <em>Again</em>?</strong></p>



<p>In his book <a href="http://www.cigarettecentury.com/">The Cigarette Century,</a> Allan Brandt wrote, “It is my hope that&nbsp;<em>The Cigarette Century</em>&nbsp;provides a strong foundation for a critical discussion of <strong>new strategies to avert a potential global health disaster.</strong>” [] “The development of new medical knowledge demonstrating the dire harms of smoking ultimately shaped the evolution of evidence-based medicine. In response, the tobacco industry engineered a campaign of scientific disinformation seeking to delay, disrupt, and suppress these studies. Using a massive archive of previously secret documents, historian&nbsp;<a href="http://www.cigarettecentury.com/author.html">Allan Brandt</a>&nbsp;shows how the industry pioneered these campaigns, particularly using special interest lobbying and largesse to elude regulation.”</p>



<p>Many new and powerful voices are emerging in conversations about tech downsides. </p>



<p>For example, momentum has coalesced around the exemplary research on children’s mental health by<a href="https://www.afterbabel.com/"> Jon Haidt and Zach Rausch</a>, reflected in the U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, endorsing “government-mandated warning labels on social media, akin to those that a previous Surgeon General&nbsp;<a href="https://substack.com/redirect/cece0dd1-249d-474c-9488-be9bda32ce05?j=eyJ1IjoiOGxsbHQifQ.qbxzgGKCTREgUlpAa856grS6AYIvNx-bVzXJYjarYH4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">called for</a>&nbsp;in 1964, on cigarettes.” <a href="https://www.afterbabel.com/p/surgeon-general-warning">Source</a></p>



<p>Is incrementalism workable and appropriate? </p>



<p>Should we celebrate repeating the tobacco wars?</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Thinking That Protects Seven Generations vs. the Do-Gooder</strong></p>



<p>The description of “Hospicing Modernity” notes<em>, “This book is not easy: it contains no quick-fix plan for a better, brighter tomorrow, and gives no ready-made answers.</em></p>



<p><em>Instead, Vanessa Machado de Oliveira presents us with a challenge: to grow up, step up, and show up for ourselves, our communities, and the living Earth, and to <strong>interrupt the modern behavior patterns that are killing the planet </strong>we’re part of. Machado de Oliveira breaks down <strong>archetypes of cognitive dissonance</strong>—<strong>the do-gooder who does “good enough</strong>,&#8221; then retreats to business as usual; the incognito capitalist who, at first glance, may seem like a radical change-maker—and asks us to dig deeper and exist differently. She explains how our habits, behaviors, and belief systems hold us back . . . and why <strong>it&#8217;s time now to gradually disinvest.</strong></em></p>



<p>Can the movement to address children, smartphones, and social media not enable delay, disruption, and suppression of science in addressing harm caused by manmade, artificial radiofrequency radiation?</p>



<p>Will our ancestors and descendents look back incredulously, not understanding how a so-called &#8216;dumb phone&#8217; in the hands of a child mirrored the adoption of light cigarettes? When we could have done so much more?</p>



<p>As my<a href="https://updatefrombarb.substack.com/"> Canadian substack colleague Barb Payne </a>observed, <em>&#8220;I have not yet noticed anyone acknowledging that wireless connectivity is like a gateway drug to screen addictions. If wireless connectivity is not available everywhere at every moment, people of all ages would not as often fall prey to screen addictions or social media content.&#8221;</em></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Healing the Past, Present, and Future</strong></p>



<p>In the early days of the smart meter debacle, two military experts, <a href="https://www.naturalscience.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/2015-06-22-WFNS-Factsheet-Interview-with-Barrie-Trower-english-WEB-.pdf">one from the UK,</a> and one Canadian, began speaking publicly about the dangers of smart meters, including the non-thermal effects of non-ionizing radiation.</p>



<p>When Jerry Flynn was introduced to his audience in 2012, he noted, “I shouldn’t be here, I should be home in my garage making things out of wood.”</p>

<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-F3nf47kAs&amp;t=64s&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 ½ hours</p>



<p>Over the last 14 years, I have met many individuals &#8211; artists, homeopaths, chiropractors, acupuncturists, yoga teachers, scientists, teachers, pilots, engineers, writers, herbalists, firemen, meter installers, organic farmers, physicians, cooks, musicians, film makers, electricians, professors, parents, and children, &#8211; who have set aside what they thought their lives would be, to work on the very unpopular campaign to address unsafe tech. Some are extremely ill; some have been rendered homeless, some have perished.</p>



<p>Michele Hertz, instead of gardening, sculpting, or painting, is talking to politicians in New York about a smart meter bill, working with <a href="https://www.nysuma.org/">NYSUMA</a> &#8211; New York Safe Utility Meter Association.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="509" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/NYSUMA-1024x509.png" alt="" class="wp-image-22146" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/NYSUMA-1024x509.png 1024w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/NYSUMA-300x149.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/NYSUMA-768x382.png 768w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/NYSUMA-600x298.png 600w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/NYSUMA.png 1337w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Solstice Darkness and Light</strong></p>



<p>Will sanctioned ignorance prevail in New York?</p>



<p>Michele and others working alongside her do not belong under the bus. As new activist movements emerge with new concerns about technology, will those who have gone before, who are literate in electromagnetic harm, have a seat at the table? </p>



<p>Including those who know how obscenely cell phones and smart meters are &#8216;safety tested&#8217;?</p>



<p>Cognitive dissonance unfolds when discomfort rears its head.</p>



<p>Instead of feeling nauseous towards our sordid history with these exploitative industries and their regulators, the distaste and exclusion is directed towards those identifying the problem.</p>



<p>Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti noted, <em>“We are talking about the ability to say the buck stops here in my generation.”</em>  Together. Now. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Solstice Balance</strong></p>



<p>This week’s solstice offers a powerful opportunity to reflect on the balance of darkness and light, supported by the Cosmic Current and Natural Law, which choreograph our lives. The Solstice offers the invitation to consider relationships, not only for children and social media, but between all of humanity and the Earth.</p>

<p class="has-small-font-size"><em>For entertainment purposes only and not to be misconstrued as medical advice</em></p>



<p>A reader recently contacted me who said that when she is exposed to RF, her face scrunches up, and her family members can see it.</p>



<p><em>“to let go of the attachment to certainty, control, coherence, and consumption of things, to be able to sit with difficult, painful, and complex things“ &#8211;</em> <em>Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti</em></p>



<p>I had the privilege of listening to <a href="https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/125-vanessa-andreotti">a podcast</a> this week with Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti<em>, </em>courtesy of my colleague Kate Kheel<em>. </em></p>



<p><em>“We, here, we talk about developing the stomach. To face the amount of shit that we need to compost without throwing up, without throwing a tantrum, and without throwing in the towel. “&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</em></p>



<p>I feel more optimistic than I have in a decade about the rising numbers of individuals tuning into the downsides of the mass society and economy being drunk on tech, especially wireless &nbsp;&#8211; &nbsp;and I’ll revisit this phenomenon of throwing up. This is a commentary on recent articles, including some that I didn’t post, while compiling recent news for Safe Tech International&#8217;s <a href="https://patriciaburke.substack.com/">substack</a> community. I discuss some themes I have written about previously, including Chinese Medicine and energy medicine.</p>



<p>I touch on: writing by hand vs. keyboards, Chinese computers, Wi-Fi on school buses, international policies on cellphones and schools, Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti and sanctioned ignorance, the Chinese Luni-solar calendar, Solar Flares and Geomagnetic Storms, precision agriculture, satellites, lower earth orbit, the senses, electroreception in fish and humans, scientific diplomacy, skin research, chronobiology, electromagnetic bodyguards that protect the Brain, the Gall Bladder, the Glymphatic system, homing Instincts and the Vivaxis, and the energetics of disgust, vs. intestinal fortitude, Radiant Circuits, and joy. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Why Writing by Hand Beats Typing for Thinking and Learning</strong></p>



<p>This week I posted a news brief that explained more clearly<strong> why</strong> <strong>hand-writing is preferable to keyboards</strong>.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/05/11/1250529661/handwriting-cursive-typing-schools-learning-brain">NPR reported</a>, <em>“In kids, studies show that tracing out ABCs, as opposed to typing them, leads to better and longer-lasting recognition and understanding of letters. Writing by hand also improves memory and recall of words, laying down the foundations of literacy and learning. In adults, taking notes by hand during a lecture, instead of typing, can lead to better conceptual understanding of material. <strong>“There are actually some very important things going on during the embodied experience of writing by hand,”</strong> says Ramesh Balasubramaniam, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Merced. “It has important cognitive benefits.” A slew of recent brain imaging research suggests <strong>handwriting’s power stems from the relative complexity of the process and how it forces different brain systems to work together to reproduce the shapes of letters in our heads onto the page. </strong>Research suggests kids learn to recognize letters better when seeing variable handwritten examples, compared with uniform typed examples. This helps develop areas of the brain used during reading in older children and adults, Vinci-Booher found.</em>&#8220;</p>



<p>There are some very important things going on during every embodied moment, and problems when we ask the body to un-integrate itself, for example with virtual reality headsets.  </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Fly Like an Eagle: Chinese Keyboards 20,000 Characters</strong></p>



<p>This week, I also read IEEE Spectrum’s featured article, <a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/chinese-keyboard">The Forgotten History of Chinese Keyboards</a> by Thomas S. Mullaney, a professor of Chinese history at Stanford University. <em>&#8220;[] one of the most successful and celebrated systems—the IPX, designed by Yeh—featured an interface with 120 levels of “shift,” packing <strong>nearly 20,000 Chinese characters</strong> and other symbols into a space only slightly larger than a QWERTY interface. Other systems featured keyboards with anywhere from 256 to 2,000 key. [] Yeh started with the most complex parts of the Chinese lexicon and worked back from there. He fixated on one character in particular: ying 鷹 (“eagle”), <strong>an elaborate graph that requires 24 brushstrokes to compose.</strong></em></p>

<p>“Things that make you go hmmmmm”…..Does the intricacy of the Chinese written language and the research regarding hand-writing vs. keystrokes have implications for cognition and brain development?</p>



<p>Whereas China and Russia have already banned cell phones in schools for a number of very good reasons, including protecting children’s eyesight, the U.S is promoting installing Wi-Fi on school buses. See: <a href="https://broadbandbreakfast.com/rosenworcel-defends-fccs-authority-to-expand-e-rate-to-wifi-hotspots/">Rosenworcel Defends FCC&#8217;s Authority to Expand E-Rate to WiFi Hotspots</a> <em>“It is time for an E-Rate program that supports the educational needs of students and library patrons and permits them to learn without limits,” Rosenworcel, a Democrat, said in a&nbsp;<a href="https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-402746A2.pdf?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com">letter</a>&nbsp;to Capitol Hill lawmakers posted to the FCC’s website&nbsp;on May 22.</em></p>



<p>The (no limits) FCC doesn’t recognize rising <a href="https://www.afterbabel.com/">mental health issues</a> in children, including bullying and unsupervised access to social media which is why <a href="https://www.commerce.senate.gov/2024/4/sen-cruz-leads-amicus-brief-opposing-biden-s-effort-to-subsidize-tiktok-on-school-buses">Senator Cruz</a> opposes funding&nbsp;Wi-Fi on school buses, in addition to the increased RF exposure to children, exacerbated by connecting from a moving vehicle.</p>



<p>Tech-ed industries are ignoring the fact that <em>reading in a moving vehicle makes some people throw up</em>, because the body actually isn’t designed for this, and it <em>causes unnecessary and unhealthy physiological stress</em>.</p>

<p>Do we keep investing in more tech to grow the economy, while ignoring human health and the nature environment? Could we divert funding for school infrastructure expansion and tech upgrades, including security, towards teaching calligraphy, wellness, art, music, and paying teachers?</p>



<p>See Prof Tom Butler, Ireland: <a href="https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/5q8vg">A Critical Review of Digital Technology in Education: A Pause for Thought in 2024</a> “[] radiation interferes with the children&#8217;s ability to learn and also has significant other harmful effects, including on the students&#8217; sleep, vision and attention.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/">Nate Hagens</a> interviewed Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti , the Dean of the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria, discussing what she calls ‘hospicing modernity’ &#8211;<em>”in order to move beyond the world we’ve come to know and the failed promises that “modernity” has made to our current culture.”&nbsp;</em><a href="https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/125-vanessa-andreotti"> HERE</a><em> </em>(1 ½ hours)</p>



<p>She noted, <em>“We&#8217;re working with sanctioned ignorances that are rewarded.”</em></p>



<p>This is diametrically opposed to ancient China. If the sages advising the emperor failed to accurately predict the spring thaw, the punishment was death. We would have a lot of dead &#8216;experts&#8217; including lobbyists and tobacco scientists. if we employed capital punishment and stopped cultivating and sanctioning willful ignorance. They work in plain sight, with no need to hide, in this age of rampant regulatory capture. <a href="https://patriciaburke.substack.com/p/smart-meters-medscape-removes-courses-funded-by-philip-morris-time-for-utility-commissions-and-legislatures-to-bow-too">Medscape confronted tobacco science</a>, as did the World Health Organization historically. so too can utility regulators, legislatures, and the public. &nbsp; It&#8217;s not rocket science. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Counting by Observation – Not Imposing Inaccurate Parameters</strong></p>



<p>In ancient China, as the result of observation and meticulous record keeping (using intricate brush strokes that enhance brain development) an underlying electromagnetic cycle of 12 years was identified. It is depicted in 12 animals seen parading through the Chinese New Years, usually coinciding with the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice. The West observes from a distance, unaware of the complexities transmitted via the qualities associated with the animals, for example, pandemonium when the dog gets into the chicken coop. (The sages were aware that teaching via metaphor also enhances learning and cognition. because it connects both the left and right brain hemispheres. </p>



<p>The sixty-year cycle of the Chinese luni-solar calendar was introduced by Emperor Huang Ti in 2637 B.C. It could be informing not only biodynamic gardening but also health care, because the human body is synchronized by the electromagnetic patterns within the cosmic current, &#8211; daily, by the solar year, lunar month, seasons, and in longer cycles, with implications for right timing.</p>



<p>Unless those energies are polluted with interference.</p>



<p>Smart watches and cell phones are out of synch with the cosmos, even more amplified during daylight savings time-initiated as the result of war. We do not know where we are in time and space, or if the guideposts are changing. This makes it challenging to recognize being out of right rhythm.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>How One Counts, Counts</strong></p>



<p>As opposed to aligning with the twelve animals cycling through 5 elements, creating a sixty-year cycle, the West has systematized itself to quantifying data by decades and centuries, perhaps sourced back to humans counting on ten fingers.</p>



<p>Now, the World Health Organization has shifted its categories for death into 20-year cohorts, obscuring the earlier onset of skyrocketing and devastating neurological illnesses. See; Bournemouth University (U.K) researchers Colin Pritchard and Emily Rosenorn-Lanng, <a href="https://surgicalneurologyint.com/surgicalint-articles/neurological-deaths-of-american-adults-55-74-and-the-over-75s-by-sex-compared-with-20-western-countries-1989-2010-cause-for-concern/">Neurological deaths of American adults (55–74) and the over 75’s by sex compared with 20 Western countries 1989–2010: Cause for concern</a>. “Have USA total neurological deaths (TNDs) of adults (55-74) and the over 75’s risen more than in twenty Western Countries?” The answer is “Yes.”</p>



<p>A lack of understanding of the synchronization between the cosmos and human life on Earth has worrying implications for <a href="https://theconversation.com/elon-musk-releases-details-of-plan-to-colonise-mars-heres-what-a-planetary-expert-thinks-79733">plans to colonize Mars or the Moon</a> – not to preserve the light of human consciousness, but to fuel more economic growth and resource acquisition.</p>



<p>We could actually use so called “artificial intelligence” to re-classify data and explore new patterns. But the data has to be collected in the first place. We have instead opted to ridicule reported harm caused by wireless technology, for example, from the pollution caused by the ‘smart grid, with renewables and so-called energy efficiency causing <a href="https://smartgridawareness.org/2017/04/09/dr-milham-testifies-smart-meters-public-health-hazard/">high voltage transients to radiate into occupied living spaces. </a></p>



<p>Examples of junk data include mis-categorizing microwave hearing as tinnitus from an unknown source, reclassifying certain types of tumors, and not counting all fatalities, for example from industrial exposures.

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Solar Flares and Geomagnetic Storms</strong></p>



<p>Solar flares were also in this month’s <a href="https://potsandpansbyccg.com/2024/05/22/solar-storms-and-broadband/">news</a> with adverse effects on precision agriculture.  &#8220;Strong storms can knock out electric grids, and a storm in 1989 knocked out the entire power grid in Quebec, affecting six million people.&#8221; &#8220;<em>404 Media</em><a href="https://www.404media.co/solar-storm-knocks-out-tractor-gps-systems-during-peak-planting-season/">&nbsp;published an article</a>&nbsp;that documented problems experienced by the GPS navigation systems in John Deere and other brands of tractors. Precision GPS allows John Deere tractors to navigate precise straight lines using Real-Time Kinematic technology that is accurate to within a few centimeters. Farmers were warned about planting new line crops like corn during the current storm since inaccurately aligned planting makes it impossible to precisely run tractors during the rest of the season for weeding, watering, and fertilizing the rows or crops. The current storm hit during the week when farmers in the Midwest were planting many of their crops.&#8221;</p>

<p>Precision agriculture is promoted, for example, to determine when crops need to be watered by sending signals from tractors and fields to satellites and back to computers. This data is being harvested to fuel commodities trading. </p>



<p>In earlier epochs when the sky served as the clock and the calendar, farmers followed guidance passed down for generations about <a href="https://www.rhythmofnature.net/">living in the rhythm of nature</a> and knew when to water. </p>



<p>The satellite frenzy has no disposal plan.  As Space4Peace <a href="https://space4peace.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Space-Alert_44.pdf">noted</a>, <em>“Out of 34,260 objects tracked in orbit, only around 8,300 are functioning satellites while the rest are junk, such as broken satellites or discarded rocket stages.”</em> Can we become more knowledgeable about and protective of the electromagnetic frequencies that sustain life on Earth, including the importance of LEO &#8211; lower earth orbit, which is rapidly being transformed into an orbiting junk yard?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="480" height="360" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/image-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-20953" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/image-1.png 480w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/image-1-300x225.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" /></figure>



<p>If we can’t figure out how to live in harmony on, and with, the planet we co-evolved with across eons of time, how can we become ‘an interplanetary species?’</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Senses</strong></p>



<p>At her site <a href="https://highlysensitiverefuge.com/">Highly Sensitive Refuge</a>, Heather Lawson published her article <a href="https://highlysensitiverefuge.com/science-suggests-humans-have-33-senses/">Scientists Believe We Have More Than 5 Senses. What Does That Mean for Highly Sensitive People?</a> <em>“Research suggests humans may have up to 33 senses, not five. How many of them could impact your high sensitivity — and sensory overload?” </em>The article references this link: <a href="https://www.psy.gla.ac.uk/~steve/best/senses.html">How many senses do humans have?</a> <em>“Defensible answers are: <strong>3:</strong> the number of physical types of stimulus: light (photons), chemicals (smell, taste, and internal sensors), mechanical (touch and hearing). <strong>9:</strong> vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, pain, mechanoreception (balance etc.), temperature, interoreceptors (e.g. blood pressure, bladder stretch). <strong>21 </strong>(see table below) Of course the real answer is that this is the wrong way to look at it. Sensing doesn&#8217;t cause perception: real perception is all about integrating information across senses, across time, across space if you are (as is normal) moving around partly in order to perceive better.</em></p>



<p><em>“If we go beyond humans then there are many more again: sonar in bats (and some moths); infrared in pit vipers; ultraviolet in bees; magnetic fields detected by some birds (and just possibly, humans too). And perhaps most surprising to humans: the electric senses found in various fish species. Electroreception: the detection of nearby things, particularly other fish, by the electric field they radiate. Active electrolocation, where a fish emits an electric field, and senses how it is changed by nearby objects (especially other fish).”</em></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Electroreception in Humans &#8211; is in the Meridians</strong></p>



<p>“Real perception is about integrating all information, especially evidence of harm.” </p>



<p>What if we have more than 33 senses, but we don’t know how to process them? What if we understood the implications of the knowledge that we evolved from <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/02/210205210627.htm">fish</a>?</p>



<p>The Chinese recognized electroreception in humans, and we can witness it in real time with our own eyes. If you watch a group of 5–7-year-olds who are just learning to play soccer, watch for the child on one team who can dribble around every other player on the field. He/she didn’t learn it from a drill; the child has a stronger inborn electromagnetic sensory system along the outside line of the body, which tells him/her which way to move. The athlete is responding energetically, via the subtle energy body, faster than the thought process of guessing which way the other player will pivot. </p>



<p>The sensory intelligence is the Gall Bladder Meridian, which runs along both outside edges of the body. Not all humans are endowed equally with Gall Bladder energy, but everyone has it, even if the organ has been removed, and the energy can be cultivated,<em> or abused.</em> &nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Scientific Diplomacy – Learning from China and Russia</strong>,<strong> and Women</strong></p>



<p>If the West were to embrace the teachings of the Chinese seers, we could understand that the Gall Bladder, like all the Meridians, responds in real time to the environment as an electromagnetic, sensory, protective apparatus with mechanical capabilities. Every organ system manifests periods of low and high tides, choreographed by the Sun. Gall Bladder is considered to be an electrical bodyguard for the Heart and the Brain, due to the <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/5g-emf-rf-acupuncture-emf-sensitivity-and-the-law-of-midday-midnight/">Law of Midday/Midnight</a>.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Recognizing Bodyguards</strong>: <strong>Safeguarding the Brain</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="682" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/aiguille-1280088_1280-1024x682.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20954" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/aiguille-1280088_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/aiguille-1280088_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/aiguille-1280088_1280-768x511.jpg 768w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/aiguille-1280088_1280-600x399.jpg 600w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/aiguille-1280088_1280.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

<p>The Gall Bladder Meridian (blue on top of skull, working alongside Triple Heater circling around the ear and jaw) can contract, tightening the plates in the skull to protect the Brain from unsafe exposures. This is one probable underlying component of reported symptoms of EHS, or sensitivity to electromagnetic fields., also referred to as microwave poisoning. The defense offers inborn protection against something found in nature- a lightning strike.</p>



<p>We can track an individual’s particular pattern of damage through the Meridians as they alter their functionality, to protect the Heart and the Brain from pollution.</p>



<p>One way the body can do this is through <em>rebellious chi</em>, when energy goes in the wrong direction – <em>by throwing up.</em></p>



<p>Another way is to have a hollow body organ empty quickly, out of rhythm – like a sudden need to use the restroom or a nosebleed.</p>



<p>This capacity is one reason why the hollow organs are viewed as bodyguards for the other organs in Chinese Medicine and classified as Yang.</p>



<p>The Chinese mystics, astronomers, and healers, with their 20,000 symbols and desire to understand patterns, attempted to identify and treat the cause, and not the symptoms. – the roots and not the branches.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Is Removing the Gall Bladder Akin to Taking the Bulb out of Warning Light?  </strong></p>



<p>A contracted skull creates a brain that is pressurized, overheated, dehydrated, and unable to detoxify. (The West has only very recently discovered the brain&#8217;s <a href="https://lifespa.com/diet-detox/brain-detox/">glymphatic system</a>.)</p>



<p>The Gall Bladder alarm has been sounding for quite some time, warning humans that something is out of balance. So has the explosion of chronic childhood illnesses. The Spleen, which distributes Chi throughout the organism, is also under fire especially in women and children, via the tonsils, thyroid and auto-immune illnesses.&nbsp;This has been going on for more than sixty years, (although routine tonsillectomies have fallen out of favor.)</p>



<p>One yogi who came to the U.S. 60 years ago was fond of saying that Americans lost the owner’s manual to their bodies. The Eastern mind-body self-care teachings that align with the cosmic current go against time as money, mass for-profit medicine; standard of care; emphasis on surgery and drugs: mandates; and other modern constructs.</p>



<p>As opposed to the electromagnetic meridian system’s capacity to contract the skull, the idea that health care should align with the planet’s electromagnetic energies, (for example avoiding unnecessary surgery at the full moon to reduce bleeding) causes others to lose their heads, with the vitriol historically resulting in the witch trials.</p>

<p>Just because modern society does not recognize or utilize the accumulated wisdom of the East or indigenous societies does not mean that it will always be this way. We can change this. We have access to the maps. We can learn how to use them. </p>



<p>The canaries with &#8216;electromagnetic hypersensitivity&#8217; are exposing individualized patterns of electromagnetic distress between the differing meridians and deep internal organs, against the changing backdrop of time, caused by electromagnetic pollution. Many others are experiencing injury and don&#8217;t know it. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Skin That Keeps Track of Time</strong></p>



<p>Chronobiology is ancient in the East. The research field of<a href="https://www.chronobiology.com/"> chronobiology</a> is very new in the West<em>. ”Chronobiology is a field of biology that studies how our body’s natural cycles—mental, physical and emotional—are affected by solar and lunar rhythms. For example, the circadian rhythm, a 24-hour cycle of physiological processes that happen throughout the human body, is a vital cycle in the study of chronobiology. When these processes break down, or abnormalities occur in the human body, it’s the study of chronobiology that could be the solution.”</em></p>



<p>Artificial manmade fields apparently disrupt the symmetry between the body and the cosmic current.</p>



<p>Science Daily recently reported that <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240502141155.htm">Synchronization between central circadian clock and circadian clocks of tissues preserves their functioning</a> <em>“Two complementary research articles reveal that central and peripheral circadian clocks coordinate to regulate the daily activity of skin and muscles. The coordination between the two clocks (central and peripheral) guarantees 50% of the circadian functions of tissues, including vital processes such as the cell cycle, DNA repair, mitochondrial activity, and metabolism. Synchronization between the central brain clock and peripheral ones prevents premature muscle aging and improves muscle function, suggesting new strategies to tackle age-related decline through circadian rhythm modulation. The peripheral clock of the skin integrates and modulates brain signals. In the study published in Cell Stem Cell, the team has demonstrated that the skin circadian clock is pivotal in coordinating the daily physiology of this tissue. By integrating brain signals, and sometimes by modifying them, this coordination ensures the correct functioning of the skin.</em>”</p>



<p>Researchers looking for circadian clocks may be discovering the Meridian pathways and/or the 108 Marma points and 72,000 Nadis of India&#8217;s Ayurveda, one at a time. What if we looked at the maps?</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Homing Instincts &#8211; the Vivaxis</strong></p>



<p>In 2000, Australian naturopath Judy Jacka published her book, The Vivaxis Connection, based on the earlier work of Canadian Francis Nixon. Before humans relied on satellite-enabled GPS systems, is it possible that our ancestors who were the most resilient and who survived the demands of challenging environments were also the ones who had the best-developed navigational skills? And what if those skills were not just intellectual, such as navigating by the stars, but were also housed in the energy body itself as another inborn physical sensory system, designed by nature, to help ensure our survival and ability to find our way home? Do humans, like other animals, possess a forgotten inborn homing system?</p>



<p>Dowsers use their bodies as a source of information via subtle energy, for example, to locate water. Churches historically used dowsers to determine placement on a power spot. Does everyone possess the ability to dowse?</p>



<p>The theory of the vivaxis is that a specific location is pause-locked into the energy field at birth. This homing mechanism would have huge implications for survival in earlier times.&nbsp; Judy explains how this capacity is diminished, and one factor is electromagnetic pollution.</p>



<p>Energy medicine teacher Donna Eden, who can see energy, has been working with the vivaxis for years. &nbsp;(This includes consideration of migraines as a vivaxis on the Gall Bladder meridian.)</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>“Without Throwing Up” – Disgust vs. Diplomacy</strong></p>



<p>When Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti addressed the need “to face the amount of shit that we need to compost without throwing up, without throwing a tantrum, and without throwing in the towel“ she warned that not everyone has the intestinal fortitude to read her new book <a href="https://www.northatlanticbooks.com/shop/hospicing-modernity/">“Hospicing Modernity Facing Humanity&#8217;s Wrongs and the Implications for Social Activism.” </a></p>



<p><em>“It is related to opening that lid as we expand our capacity to see the different moving layers of complexity, to let go of the attachment to certainty, control, coherence, and consumption of things, to be able to sit with difficult, painful, and complex things without feeling overwhelmed or immobilized.”</em></p>



<p>The Chinese identified the specific pathway in the body related to disgust, where one’s energy field shuts down in response to something un-digestible. It is the Penetrating Flow. The Penetrating Flow also carries Joy, as Donna Eden teaches here in <a href="https://edenmethod.com/free-radiant-circuits-class/">a free class about the Radiant Circuits</a>. (Radiant circuits operate alongside the Meridians, but are activated when needed, for example due to a temperature extreme like falling through the ice.)</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Addressing Intellectual Warfare</strong></p>



<p>The ability to detect spoiled food is an evolutionary capacity, and a specific part of the brain is associated with ‘disgust’.</p>



<p>It is not evolutionary to be disgusted by consumers reporting harm to health and the environment from inadequately regulated industries. </p>



<p>We are being indoctrinated into warfare against China and Russia, as well as against ourselves via surveillance tech. The mass media is programming our electromagnetic frequencies and cognition via our emotions.</p>



<p>We can instead use the knowledge of the Radiant Circuits and become absorbed in and entranced by the opportunities we face, and mesmerized by the ancient and indigenous knowledge that can inform our work.</p>



<p>We have the hardware to do this, running in our physicality.</p>



<p>As Paris Marx notes, <a href="https://techwontsave.us/about">Tech Won’t Wave Us</a>.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Superspreaders</strong></p>



<p>I learned recently that researchers have studied what they call <a href="https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/05/key-misinformation-superspreaders-on-twitter-older-women/">Key Misinformation Superspreaders</a>,- older women. Here is a short list, courtesy my colleagues at <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/">Safe Tech International</a>. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="480" height="360" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/image-5.png" alt="" class="wp-image-20968" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/image-5.png 480w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/image-5-300x225.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" /></figure>



<p>Whichever tech leaders and policy makers stop perpetuating disgust towards each other, and to the men, women, and children who recognize the harm unfolding via tech overreach first (especially wireless)&nbsp;&#8211; will be accessing our evolutionary capacities.</p>



<p>Everything else is just pretend progress, pretend sustainability, pretend energy efficiency, pretend conservation, pretend renewables, pretend education, pretend earnings, pretend justice, pretend research, pretend accessibility, pretend science, pretend military prowess and pretend freedom. </p>



<p>When we hold a cell phone to the ear, the ancient seers (who could see energy) would tell us that we are draining our Gall Bladder and Triple Warmer <em>chi</em> and stealing vitality from other organ systems, because of the increased, artificial, external demands on the body.</p>



<p>The Vedic masters might have described it as &#8220;burning the Ojas.&#8221; <em> &#8220;Our vitality, immunity, vigor, skin, sleep, digestion, spirituality and physical strength are all directly influenced by our reserve of ojas. A plentiful reserve of ojas is reflected in the luster of the eyes, radiance of the skin (that glow so detectable in babies and pregnant women), potent fertility, tenacious immunity, strong digestion and clarity of mind.&#8221;</em>&#8211; <a href="https://lifespa.com/intro-ayurveda/what-is-ayurveda/ojas/">John Douillard</a> </p>



<p>While the ancients didn&#8217;t have to give advice about Wi-Fi and cellphones, they recognized fatigue and imbalance.</p>



<p>Opening the mind may literally require putting down the phone.</p>



<p>Gall Bladder is associated with courage. Nurturing the Gall Bladder protects the Brain and the Heart, and that is what makes us human.</p>



<p>There is incredible joy is this humble journey, but it is not for the faint of Heart.</p>



<p>As Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti noted, <em>“We are talking about the ability to say the buck stops here, in my generation.” </em></p>

<p>Advertisements for ABC’s popular show “Bachelor in Paradise” are teasing viewers with a subplot about one woman who apparently has not been able to have a bowel movement for 9 days.</p>



<p>As a result, it is possible that she will be forced to leave the island in order to receive medical treatment.</p>



<p>Without needing to go into too much detail about the show itself, the question of how and why one woman’s digestive function has been decimated is not being explored beyond titillating jokes about pooh babies, either by ABC or by society at large.</p>



<p>I have a theory that if we were paying more attention, a very significant reassessment of our wireless technology could unfold.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Man-made</strong> <strong>Antennas and Transmitters vs. Biological Antennas</strong> <strong>and Transmitters</strong></p>



<p>“Bachelor in Paradise” entertains viewers by allowing them to listen in on and watch intimate conversations between scantily clad participants, and many of the women are wearing bathing suits.</p>



<p>In order to provide audio to the audience, the men and women are wearing wireless transmitters on their bodies, many at the base of the spine. &nbsp;</p>



<p>What we may be witnessing is one very healthy young individual whose body has reacted to exposure to non-natural, manmade artificial microwave radiofrequencies with an apparent armored organ system freeze response.</p>



<p>The scenario is not rocket science.</p>



<p>The human body possesses receptors that enable it to receive energy from the cosmos, by design. (Vedic scholars of India identified 72,000 <em>nadis</em>.)&nbsp; The energetic patterns of the cosmic frequencies choreograph the rhythms of life on earth, including chronobiology. &nbsp;This includes, for most people, a fairly regular pattern of elimination.</p>



<p>We experience being off rhythm when we experience jet-lag…when our time-space coordinates are not in synch with the external environment.</p>



<p>The human energy field has co-evolved with balancing, life sustaining, energetic frequencies that envelop the earth. </p>



<p>The wireless tech-enamored mass culture has lost awareness of the existence and significance of the healthy energetic relationship with the environment. As the result, society is easily misled about ideas which never should have been let out of the gate, such as colonizing Mars to preserve the light of consciousness.</p>



<p>Rather than focusing on faster, more ubiquitous wireless connectivity, we could and should, as a humanity, already be doing everything we can to protect the abundance and generativity of the cosmic current, for all of life.</p>



<p>This is the foundation for a conservation lifestyle, (as opposed to the practice of placing wireless transmitters on whales and sharks to communicate with satellites, without monitoring the biological impacts to the organism.)</p>



<p>It is possible that the woman in question on Bachelor in Paradise has been directly impacted by having the wireless transmitter placed on her body, and that for her, the symptomatic organ is the colon. &nbsp;</p>



<p>It may not be the only possible explanation, or the correct one, but in fact, it may be exactly what caused her condition.</p>



<p>I know an individual who ate so much lobster as a young child, resulting in inflammation further down his intestinal tract, that he ended up having a part of his colon removed.</p>



<p>I also know individuals with food allergy reactions who will describe changes in their stool indicating constipation and constriction when they eat an offending item, while others have symptoms at the other end of the spectrum. </p>



<p>Most likely, the food and water being consumed by Bachelor nation is not familiar to the visitors, and one of these explanations may be forthcoming. It is possible that her body is reacting to some other stressor, other than wireless. &nbsp;</p>



<p>But it is possible that the transmitter placed on her body activated a protective response by dis-regulating the distribution of <em>chi </em>between the organ systems in her body, as has been reported by many individuals, especially women, who have been exposed to excessive microwave-based technologies, beyond what their biology can bear.  This includes the fields generated by wireless smart meters, followed by over a decade of ignored complaints.</p>

<p>Instead of listening and seeking to understand, the industry coined the derogatory term nocebo, and implied that the women needed psychiatric care.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Chinese Medicine, Japanese Medicine, Acupuncture, and Environmental Medicine</strong></p>



<p>It is possible that care provided by a Chinese medicine practitioner or acupuncturist, or a physician trained at the American Academy of Environmental Medicine would provide accurate diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of further harm.</p>



<p>More than a decade ago, some individuals who were experiencing energetic harm as the result of the installation of wireless smart meters began comparing notes. One common complaint was that when individuals went shopping in big box stores, they immediately had to use the restroom. &nbsp;Again, they were describing a hijacking of their body’s naturally coordinated and healthy rhythms, because the Bladder and/or Colon were behaving out of right rhythm.  Some described sudden nosebleeds, others had headaches, other digestive issues. The Chinese recognized that the hollow organs had the capacity to behave as bodyguards. Symptoms could be mapped out against this evocative template, which is based on individual constitution. Symptoms vary from one person to the next.  </p>



<p>Chinese and Japanese medicine distinguishes between the imbalances of kyo and jitsu. “&#8230;..Meridians themselves to find areas termed Jitsu (Excess – hardness, induration) and Kyo (Deficiency – relative softness, emptiness). [ ] Treatment protocols are based on those findings. The basic principle is to tonify or strengthen the most deficient Meridian first and can then often include local treatment to scatter congested Qi.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&#8211; <a href="https://drpeterwood.com/acupuncture-how-does-it-work-series-part-3-japanese-theory-differences/">Source</a></p>



<p>From a Chinese medicine perspective, the relationship between the Gall Bladder and the Large Intestine is significant, because Gall Bladder can steal <em>chi</em> from Large Intestine. Gall Bladder may be one of the most important electrical bodyguards of the human energy field due to its relationship with the Heart.  This is one map that can describe one manifestation of microwave illness. </p>



<p>We don’t know how many of the other participants in the Paradise adventure might also be affected by wireless exposures, and it may be that the others are seemingly not affected. But we do not actually know about the long-term effects of chronic cumulative juxtaposed exposures to microwave radiation because we haven’t bothered to study them. We made the same error with chemicals, for years. </p>



<p>More than a decade ago, physician William Rea of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine devised a protocol for determining if a patient was being adversely affected by wireless exposures. After establishing homeostasis, with provocation, by checking the heart rate, looking at the reaction of the pupils of the eyes, and other indicators he would confirm if the patient was actually reacting to wireless, or some other exposure.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe title="Triggering Agents of Electromagnetic Sensitivity" width="720" height="405" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y06y4S_5GSg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>He determined that some patients were indeed reacting to artificial manmade wireless exposures. </p>



<p>This is good science and good health care.  </p>



<p>Chinese medicine could take the inquiry even further, by measuring all twelve of the organ pulses.</p>



<p>Reality tv has inadvertently shown us the onset of what may be an energetic imbalance caused by a wireless exposure.</p>



<p>I hope, for this Bachelorette, that this is not an initiation into the onset of so-called electromagnetic hypersensitivity, because microwave sickness is the most ridiculed, marginalized condition that I am aware of. </p>



<p>Being referred to as a tin foil hat and dismissed by power brokers ranging from <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/16/science/5g-cellphones-wireless-cancer.html">New York Times</a> writers to<a href="https://safetechinternational.org/requests-for-psychology-today-to-retract-inaccurate-discriminatory-conspiracy-theory-expert-misrepresenting-ehs-environmental-illness/"> Psychology Today</a> is widely accepted by an increasingly energetically illiterate culture that does not yet want to ask the difficult questions.  </p>



<p>The longer the questions are ignored, the bigger the problem becomes for those who must eventually deal with the consequences.</p>



<p>We know enough to know that people are hurting.  And, the kids are not alright.  </p>



<p>It&#8217;s not just about whether it&#8217;s making you sick, it&#8217;s about the fact that it is causing harm to some, including other species, and we are ignoring it.  </p>



<p>If your educational background about wireless is coming from industry ads, please become a deeper thinker. </p>



<p>We can all do more about this. </p>

<p>During the Obama administration, the United States and other countries had an opportunity to respond to the early warnings regarding so-called clean energy and wireless technologies. </p>



<p>We didn’t.</p>



<p>But now we can, and we should. Right now. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Late Lessons from Early Warnings</strong></p>



<p>The European Environment Agency has compiled several volumes of case studies of <a href="https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/environmental_issue_report_2001_22">early warnings</a> &#8220;covering a diverse range of chemical and technological innovations and highlighting a number of systemic problems. The &#8216;Late Lessons Project&#8217; illustrates how damaging and costly the <strong>misuse or neglect of the precautionary principle</strong> can be, using case studies and a synthesis of the lessons to be learned and applied to maximizing innovations whilst minimizing harms.”</p>



<p>Several of the recommendations are pertinent to the opportunity that exists now, to re-evaluate smart metering and other wireless technologies, especially as they pertain to &#8220;sustainability:&#8221;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Acknowledge and respond to<strong> ignorance</strong>, as well as uncertainty and risk, in technology appraisal and public policy-making.</li>



<li>Provide <strong>adequate long-term environmental and health monitoring</strong> and research into early warnings.</li>



<li>Identify and work to reduce ‘blind spots’ and <strong>gaps in scientific knowledge</strong>.</li>



<li>Ensure that <strong>real world conditions</strong> are adequately accounted for in regulatory appraisal.</li>



<li>Systematically <strong>scrutinize the claimed justifications</strong> and benefits alongside the potential risks.</li>



<li>Maintain the <strong>regulatory independence</strong> of interested parties while retaining an inclusive approach to information and opinion gathering.</li>
</ul>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Smart Meter Storm</strong></p>



<p>In case readers were not following the story, Hurricane Sandy was the deadliest and most destructive storm of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, impacting the entire Eastern seaboard. &nbsp;The storm was one factor that fueled the narrative about &#8216;smart&#8217; meters and a &#8216;smart&#8217; grid. </p>



<p>Disaster capitalism created a story that investing in a two-way wirelessly connected electric grid would result in a more ‘robust’ and reliable electricity supply and help defend against ‘climate change.’  </p>



<p>The narrative simultaneously did two things, &#8211; it pointed the public towards technology and engineering as a &#8216;solution,&#8217; and to &#8216;climate&#8217; as a perpetrator to be feared, fostering alienation and separation from the ecosystem of which we are a part. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">&#8220;<strong>Reliable&#8221; vs. &#8220;Resilient</strong>&#8220;</p>



<p>It wasn’t the case that the meters made electricity more &#8216;reliable,&#8217; as repeatedly demonstrated in <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/smart-meters-faster-storm-outage-restoration-safe-secure-reliable-not-maine-and-virginia/">Maine</a>.  For example, see &#8220;<a href="https://www.mainepublic.org/business-and-economy/2017-12-07/october-windstorm-took-down-cmps-200-million-smart-meter-network">October Windstorm Took Down CMP&#8217;s $200M Smart Meter Network.&#8221;</a> Yet the narrative of Man-over-Nature via Tech endures. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/maine.png" alt="" class="wp-image-14912" width="737" height="722" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/maine.png 585w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/maine-300x294.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px" /></figure>



<p>The industry eventually replaced the reliability claim. Instead, smart meters made the grid &#8220;more resilient.&#8221;</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Solar Wars</strong></p>



<p>The environmental community bought into and promoted the idea that the &#8216;smart&#8217; meters were necessary in order to integrate solar and other renewables into the grid. </p>



<p>Solar wars followed whereby the utilities enacted policies that opposed solar, after the meters were installed.  As Bill Ellard of the American Solar Energy Society <a href="https://ases.org/solar-wars/">explained</a>, “The three battles are net metering, tariff reform, and grid defection.&#8221;</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Time of Use Billing</strong></p>



<p>Many consumers are not aware of the implications of net metering and time of use billing –enabled by &#8216;smart&#8217; meters.&nbsp; With net metering, utilities could compensate a solar-producing-household at very low rate, and then charge the customer an exorbitant rate when they needed to draw electricity from the grid. </p>



<p>With time of use billing, smart meters enable penalizing customers for using electricity at certain times of day (discriminating against third shift workers or stay-at-home individuals.)</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Demand Charges</strong></p>



<p>Another industry tactic is imposing demand charges like those that were authorized in Massachusetts for solar customers. &nbsp;Bill Ellart <a href="https://ases.org/solar-wars/">noted</a>, “Typically, demand charges are applied to commercial and industrial customers only. This charge is based on the highest 15-minute interval of electricity use during the month’s billing period. These charges can be up to 70% of a customer bill.”</p>



<p>A customer’s bill for the month can be based upon the 15-minute period when they consume the most electricity, for example, running the dishwasher, laundry, and vacuum at the same time. </p>



<p>The scenario unfolds in the homes of countless low-income seniors and disabled individuals served by a home health aide, every week, in every state.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Electric Vehicle Charging (and Fires</strong>)</p>



<p>Utilities and regulators were concerned about the prospect of having hundreds of electric vehicle owners coming home at 7 pm to change their vehicles right after work, perhaps while also running a swimming pool pump and heater, and central air conditioning. (Note that energy savings based on time-of-use billing benefits higher income groups consuming more power.)</p>



<p>In order to not overload the grid, EV customers were encouraged to charge their vehicles overnight, resulting in a more dangerous fire risk scenario.</p>



<p>But rather than managing just one aspect of electricity consumption, EV charging, the choice was made to invest in a surveillance and control grid <em>for all customers</em>, justified by the climate change narrative about supporting renewables and clean energy, as well as economic stimulus.</p>



<p>The utilities say that time-of-use billing offers savings opportunities for all customers. In truth, increased rates to pay for the meters are passed on to all customers, including, for example, a participant in the controversial Worcester National Grid pilot program whose only consumption was a refrigerator that contained necessary medication. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Rather than examining all of the<a href="https://safetechinternational.org/you-might-not-see-any-smoke-coming-out-of-any-smokestacks-but-that-doesnt-mean-there-are-no-fires/"> issues</a> inherent to EVs, including mining, battery disposal, and fires, the clean energy community has continued to push for EV expansion, without considering other alternatives, including public transportation. </p>



<p>The alternative of launching an educational campaign informing customers about how to more skillfully conserve energy (for example, Clare Donegan’s suggestion – Can it Wait till 8 pm?)  doesn&#8217;t seem to have been considered. Or, for example, providing guidance on whether it is better to use an electric kettle or a gas stove to heat water for tea.</p>



<p>Smart meters do not necessarily decrease consumption, but only change the pattern of consumption, via price points that always discriminate against certain classes of customers and increase earnings. </p>



<p>The industry is caught between the priority to provide a return on investment, vs. providing safe and reliable access to an essential service at a reasonable price.</p>



<p>Policy decisions have favored economic growth over human rights, safety, and sustainability. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Deploying Meters</strong> <strong>and Charging Ratepayers</strong></p>



<p>Despite holes in the narrative, utility regulators approved passing the cost of the new meters onto ratepayers in full scale deployments.  In-service meters were disposed of before the end of their useful life, and as the new meters were installed, ratepayers saw their bills rising, not dropping, even though the meters were supposed to result in cost and energy savings.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.takebackyourpower.net/category/in-home-surveillance/">Privacy</a> invasion, green-washing,<a href="https://www.takebackyourpower.net/category/fires-damage/"> fire</a> risks, <a href="https://www.takebackyourpower.net/category/cost-increases/">cost</a>, lack of <a href="https://www.takebackyourpower.net/category/grid-vulnerability/">security,</a> planned obsolescence, and safety concerns were overrun by a clean energy community partnered with investor-owned utilities, believing that their actions were justified by the need to address the climate emergency.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Remote Off-Switch</strong></p>



<p>Utilities favor the ability to remotely shut power off to a premises in the case of a move-out, or non-payment, rather than sending a technician.&nbsp; The clean energy community is enamored with statistics about decreased truck rolls. </p>



<p>The remote off-switch is presented as justification that the meters decrease consumption of greenhouse gases.</p>



<p>But the carbon footprint of the planned obsolescence, whereby all meters would need to be replaced every 7 years, was not weighed against the number of times that the remote off switch would be employed.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Hacking</strong></p>



<p>More importantly, the remote off switch presents a very real<a href="https://www.takebackyourpower.net/category/grid-vulnerability/"> hacking</a> vulnerability.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Health</strong> &#8211; <strong>Stop Right Here</strong></p>



<p>There are <a href="https://www.takebackyourpower.net/">many reasons</a> not to support smart metering. &nbsp;</p>



<p>But most important is that when wireless smart utility meters began to be installed across the country, there were immediate reports of harm to a portion of the population, including the acute onset of profoundly life-altering disability.</p>

<p>We should have stopped deploying immediately, and investigated, and refined the science that underlies wireless technologies safety assumptions, because people were being hurt, as chronicled by groups including <a href="https://stopsmartmeters.org/">Stop Smart Meters</a> and the <a href="http://emfsafetynetwork.org/">EMF Safety Network</a>. </p>



<p>But the industry and its partners dismissed, marginalized, and suppressed reported harm.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Citizen Science</strong></p>



<p>In the absence of appropriate independent research and pre-market safety testing, many earnest individuals began to invest their own time and resources into documenting harmful impacts of smart metering technologies.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/ei-wellspring-2.png" alt="" class="wp-image-14915" width="702" height="469" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/ei-wellspring-2.png 965w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/ei-wellspring-2-300x201.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/ei-wellspring-2-768x513.png 768w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/ei-wellspring-2-600x401.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px" /></figure>



<p>From Arizona, <a href="https://eiwellspring.org/smartmeter.html">“The EI Wellspring,Practical Information for Coping with Chemical and Electrical Hypersensitivity”</a> has produced an explanation of the various types of meters and their risks..</p>



<p><a href="https://safetechinternational.org/paul-harding-total-emf-solutions-real-men-know-that-microwave-sickness-is-real-5g-emf-rf-fathers-day-stories/">Paul Harding</a> of <a href="https://www.totalemfsolutions.com/">Total EMF Solutions</a> in Arizona told his story about sleep interruption, which could easily be correlated with exposures. ”When the Arizona utility company came to install a new digital, wireless electronic meter on Paul Harding’s home 10 years ago, he welcomed it, because he thought that it would enable him to save money. (For those who are not aware, smart utility meters enable time-of-use billing, with peak, off-peak, and other rate schemes, including pre-pay.) Then, the next morning, he was awoken abruptly at 3:12-3:15 am, “from a dead sleep to 100 MPH. ”When it happened again at the exact same time the next morning, not sleeping, with the smart meter mounted 3 feet from his head, Paul got up and took out his computer. He typed in a search for “smart meter sleep problems.” His story is <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/paul-harding-total-emf-solutions-real-men-know-that-microwave-sickness-is-real-5g-emf-rf-fathers-day-stories/">here</a>.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>EKG Proof That “Smart” Meters Affect the Human Heart: Warren Woodward</strong></p>



<p>Warren Woodward wrote, <strong>“</strong>In EKG Proof That &#8220;Smart&#8221; Meters Affect the Human Heart&#8221; you will see me connected to an EKG monitor while resting near an Elster brand &#8220;smart&#8221; meter of the type used by APS here in Arizona. When the &#8220;smart&#8221; meter transmits, the EKG shows that my heart rhythm is interrupted. Looking at the results of the EKG is startling. We now know that even if people are not showing outward symptoms, their bodies are being unnecessarily and involuntarily stressed by &#8220;smart&#8221; meters.”</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Proof of the Pericardium Meridian – Chinese Medicine</strong></p>



<p>As reported by <a href="https://www.usnn.news/it-takes-only-1-month-to-cure-heart-problems-a-harvard-study-confirms-the-existence-of-pericardium-meridian/">USSN World News</a>, “a study published by Harvard Medical School confirmed the existence of the “pericardium meridian,” one of the 12 meridians.</p>



<p>The study can put an end to the assumption that radio frequencies only cause harm via heating. &nbsp;</p>



<p>And as the West begins to understand the electromagnetic properties of the Meridian System of Oriental Medicine, the process underlying the harm being caused by wireless and powerline smart meters, for both the brain and the heart, is apparent. </p>



<p>We are electrical beings, and our electrical balance can be disrupted, irrelevant to the measurement of body temperature, Or, more accurately, irrelevant to the practice of taking the measurement of an engineering model dummy lacking a brain and a heart. </p>

<p>USSN news <a href="https://www.usnn.news/it-takes-only-1-month-to-cure-heart-problems-a-harvard-study-confirms-the-existence-of-pericardium-meridian/">reported</a>,<em> “The meridians are invisible to the naked eye, so conventional Western medicine still holds reservations about their existence.”</em></p>



<p><em>“In the study, 15 healthy volunteers were recruited, and two Chinese physicians marked the pathways and acupuncture points of the pericardium meridian on their hands and arms and used a low resistance detector for further confirmation. Afterwards, they injected fluorescein into the volunteers’ pericardium meridians and observed the direction of the fluorescein’s movement with a special camera.</em></p>



<p><em>The scientists were surprised to find that after the volunteers were injected with fluorescein in the Neiguan (PC-6) point on their wrists, over time, fluorescent lines appeared on most of their arms. These “glowing lines” spread along their arms, all the way to the bend of their elbows. The path of this line is precisely the path of the pericardium meridian.”</em></p>



<p>Now that we can see them, we can also seek to understand at what the Chinese seers knew about the Meridian pathway capabilities, including acting as bodyguards for the brain and the heart. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Mercenary Science vs. Meridians</strong></p>



<p>Instead of conducting real premarket safety testing, the smart meter industry employed mercenary<a href="https://safetechinternational.org/the-alarming-link-between-the-ohio-train-derailments-vinyl-chloride-leak-and-smart-meters-a-mercenary-scientist-dictating-public-policy/"> tobacco scientists</a> to debunk citizen health complaints, even at the Federal level. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/NCSL.png" alt="" class="wp-image-14920" width="758" height="537" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/NCSL.png 552w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/NCSL-300x213.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px" /></figure>



<p>It is not surprising to see tobacco industry tactics being used to justify smart meters.  The industry employed mercenary scientists who literally work for the tobacco industry to address mounting health concerns and complaints, including testimony to the National Council of State Legislators. Phillip Morris cigarette’s Peter Valberg of Gradient served as the spokesperson and health and safety expert for many organizations and state proceedings.</p>



<p>He was featured in the 2016 investigative series <strong><a href="https://publicintegrity.org/environment/about-science-for-sale/">Science for Sale</a></strong> by the Center for Public Integrity. &nbsp;</p>



<p><a href="https://publicintegrity.org/environment/meet-the-rented-white-coats-who-defend-toxic-chemicals/">One of the articles</a> describes his attempt to shift the blame for mesothelioma to tobacco to defend the asbestos industry. The lawyer he was collaborating with for this unethical effort was fired from his firm. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><a href="https://publicintegrity.org/environment/making-a-cancer-cluster-disappear/">Another article</a> referenced Valberg’s role in discounting the significance of 33 individuals in McCollum Lake who developed brain tumors as the result of chemical dumping by Dow.</p>

<p>When the Paul Hardings across the country report that they are being unnaturally awoken at 3:15 am and going from 0 to 100 MPH, we will find that the Pericardium meridian is becoming activated, The energy pathway&#8217;s intelligence is contracting the pericardium sac in order to brace and protect the heart. &nbsp;The energy is manifesting as a shock absorber in the presence of perceived danger. </p>



<p>When the Warren Woodwards across the country are reporting that they are experiencing alterations in the heart rate in the presence of transmissions from a wireless meters, we will find that the Pericardium is engaging, in an attempt to protect the heart.</p>



<p>Over time, these exposures will be correlated, accurately, with damage to the cardio-vascular and neurological and glandular systems. </p>



<p>The canaries have been describing this damage for over a decade. </p>



<p>We will find that the Meridian System, which is an essential component of the circadian rhythm and energetic immunity, is being hijacked by artificial man-made frequencies.</p>



<p>The risks of charging an EV at night pale compared to the damage being inflicted by late night data dumps and sudden random exposures to bursts of pulsed microwave radiation.</p>



<p>Real world citizen science can now take precedence over the <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/emf-rf-5g-science-why-emf-provocation-studies-should-be-halted-un-scientific-abuse-of-human-rights-enabler-of-ecosystem-harm/">weaponization</a> of research. &nbsp;</p>



<p>For example, the study that implies that <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/emf-rf-5g-tin-foil-hats-meridians-glymphatics-and-heads-that-are-not-layer-cakes/">inanimate modeling of tissue</a> proves that 5G frequencies “vanish” before they reach the “brain layer” will be rejected. </p>



<p>The brain knows what is happening at the skin level. The body is an intelligent, resonant energy field,</p>



<p>Our bodies are far more intelligent, interconnected, aware, coherent, and powerful that we have ever imagined, and they have been sounding the alarm for decades about our willful blindness and arrogance in believing that we can dominate the airwaves with polluting frequencies. We have gone too far. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/frequencies.png" alt="" class="wp-image-14921" width="751" height="319" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/frequencies.png 341w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/frequencies-300x128.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px" /></figure>



<p>As recently reported in testimony before the Rhode Island Public Utilites Commission, &#8220;Regulators in lock step with utilities have confined the health debate to the question of opt outs and surcharges, which is unrealistic, unscientific, ineffective, and motivated by political economic and control objectives that have no relevance to the real question of safety. Providing a digital radio off opt out meter within a mesh network, for a fee, is the equivalent of surcharging for light cigarettes, which supposedly had less tar and nicotine, but in fact were not safer and did not protect others from second-hand smoke.&#8221;</p>



<p>As the film “Resonance, Beings of Frequency” explains, we are at one with the rhythms of the Cosmos. And until our technological innovations honor the sacredness of that relationship, we will remain in the Dark Ages. </p>

<p>By Patricia Burke of<a href="https://safetechinternational.org/">&nbsp;Safe Tech International</a>, (for entertainment purposes only.) Image courtesy <a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/wingthing/">Lori McCray</a></p>



<p>How does a society learn from Nature? What becomes of a society that does not?</p>



<p>Just as those living in polar regions of the Earth accumulated expertise regarding snow, ice, and cold weather flora and fauna, cultures in the equatorial regions, and especially along coastal waters, developed expertise for their temperate climate. </p>



<p>The impact of the moon on the tides is one important variable recognized by ancient cultures. </p>



<p>Wisdom traditions addressing planting, growing, breeding of livestock, and safe travel especially along rivers that froze and thawed were refined by various societies, over 5,000 years ago, across the globe. </p>



<p>In some areas, this accumulated knowledge continues to exert influence. &nbsp;This is especially true where <em>local time</em> is perceived and recognized as a manifestation of energy, and where the moon’s electromagnetic influence informs the culture.</p>



<p>In contrast, societies that perceive and utilize time only as a commodity and a tool to coordinate the masses have lost their moorings in terms of alchemizing with the frequencies of the Earth and its natural cycles, including the rhythms of the electromagnetic environment. </p>



<p>Increasingly, this disconnect dominates in the West.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>When to Rest and When to Exert</strong>: <strong>Observing Nature</strong></p>



<p>For example, high noon corresponds to the moment when the sun is highest in the sky. Both the Indian and Chinese cultures recognized that this angle of the sun’s rays also corresponds to particular physiological configurations in the physical body, as does the phenomenon of midnight. This knowledge continues to guide the populace in the East.  In Chinese medicine, as an expression of<em> yin and yang, </em>bio-energy is understood to be active on the outside during the day and active on the inside at nighttime.</p>



<p>As an example of another pattern of exertion and rest, when I volunteered at a puppy rescue, the director divided the dogs into compatible groups to be let out into the larger yard for playtime.  But try as she did to keep imposing the schedule, all of the puppies would sleep in the early afternoon, in alignment with their inherent biorhythms, which were choreographed by the angle of the sun’s rays. (And, their physiology did not observe daylight savings, nor does ours.)</p>



<p>Life on Earth has co-evolved to harmonize with patterns of frequencies that envelop the Earth, from the tides to the seasons to longer cycles lost to the West.</p>



<p>Faced with a scenario like the sleepy puppies, there is a choice point described by many spiritual traditions and roughly translated as &#8216;will or surrender.&#8217; </p>



<p>In this case, surrender implies wise acceptance, and not weakness or loss of sovereignty. or being over-powered. </p>



<p>Many are recognizing, belatedly, that individual sovereignty and health is dependent upon a pure relationship with the Earth&#8217;s electromagnetic cosmic current.</p>



<p>The task of present generations to turn the tide towards recognition and acceptance of Nature&#8217;s rhythms. This implies acceptance that unhinged technology is leading humanity in the wrong direction.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Understanding the Power of Nature in 2023: Winter Solstice</strong></p>



<p>From the perspective of countless wisdom schools, the true place of power (and only true foundation to ‘sustainability’) lies in acceptance, recognition, reverence, and partnership with Natural Law.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This brings us to the energies inherent in 2023, and the question of whether a specific culture or society or individual choice is manifesting the energies of force, and disconnected from reverence for the cosmos, or embodying balance and harmony.  It&#8217;s not a difficult discernment. Particularly if nature or human health is being harmed, inappropriate force is in play. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Time, Energy and Cosmic Law</strong></p>



<p>We have forgotten that humanity&#8217;s consciousness is related to its relationship with Time. When a society separates Time from Energy, it becomes unhinged from the planet.</p>



<p>The Gregorian calendar in use in most of the world was imposed via violence and force. For example, the New Year celebration observed on December 31 in the Gregorian calendar was derived from the intent to sever the grounding offered through recognition of the Winter Solstice energy.</p>



<p>There is nothing wrong or incorrect about being able to coordinate travel across long distances by applying a concept of “time” that is averaged across great distances.</p>



<p>But areas of the world where “local time” has been preserved are often perceived and portrayed as less developed. This includes the African continent. In fact, supposed &#8216;modern&#8217; technocracy is devoid of knowledge of Natural Law. It this regard, it is both primitive and de-evolutionary.  </p>



<p>The trajectory of our technology will be viewed by our ancestors as irrational, and as a form of techno-ecocide. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="800" height="288" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/technocracy.png" alt="" class="wp-image-14186" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/technocracy.png 800w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/technocracy-300x108.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/technocracy-768x276.png 768w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/technocracy-600x216.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">https://www.technocracy.news/quick-start/</figcaption></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Centralized Authorities &#8211; Unhinged</strong></p>



<p>Authorities including the World Health Organization and World Economic Forum are asserting that centralized approaches are required to address planetary societal issues. &nbsp;</p>



<p>In truth, many of these efforts are being forcefully imposed not for humanitarian outcomes, but in pursuit of continued concentrated acquisition of wealth, power, and control. For example, see the link to the Jan. 14&nbsp;Children’s Health Defense interview with James Corbett and Meryl Nass, M.D regarding the World Health Organization’s plan to usurp national sovereignty here: https://www.activistpost.com/2023/01/who-sneak-attack-chd-tv-interview-with-james-corbett.html</p>



<p>Centralized authorities holding entrenched power do not appear to be moving in the direction of respecting nature or surrendering the quest for control. &nbsp;</p>



<p>The choices of the masses will determine how much longer the dysfunctional power-hungry approaches will endure.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Understanding the Power of Nature in 2023: Chinese New Year</strong> <strong>New Moon</strong></p>



<p>Through-out Asia, on Jan 22, cultures will be observing the second new moon following the Winter Solstice.</p>



<p>Because a New Moon occurred on Dec. 23 in 2022, the Chinese New Year this year is falling on one of the earliest days possible for 2023. (When juxtaposed with the Gregorian calendar, it can fall as late as Feb. 20.)</p>



<p>Much of modern society did not notice either the earlier December New Moon, or the Solstice, or the relationship between the two. </p>



<p>A point of turning of the year is generally obscured via football championships. This matters.</p>



<p>The Chinese seers recognized that seeds underground begin to turn to face the sun on Feb. 4. The importance of Feb. 4 is also recognized in the cross quarter of the Celtic wheel. In the West we have Ground Hog Day. </p>



<p>In the East, by observing whether or not the Chinese New Year landed before or after the Feb. 4 “eyes of spring” and the resulting impact on the growing season, a 60-year luni-solar calendar was developed in 2637 B.C. It is comprised of twelve animals moving through 5 elements. &nbsp;</p>



<p>The fact that the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice falls early this year is understood to hold implications for the timing of the spring thaw, which influences all activities along the banks of the rivers where early societies flourished. &nbsp;The sixty-year cycle holds implications for auspicious choices about which plants will thrive, and whether or not the year will express drought or flooding or windy conditions.</p>



<p>The ancient seers, who had the ability to view the dance of energy within the cosmos, correlated the energies they observed to animals that were familiar to the people. For example, when a dog enters the chicken pen, pandemonium can arise, and the transition period from the year of the Rooster to the year of the Dog was tracked and recognized to express unsettled weather conditions. Other transitions proceed more calmly.</p>



<p>However, beyond agriculture and weather, the Chinese luni-solar calendar was far more nuanced and informative than has been portrayed in the West, especially for health.</p>



<p>Hiking along the Charles River this fall, the land was covered by mugwort growing in the wild. At the same time, it was not a good year for tomatoes. &nbsp;Another year, nettles might predominate. </p>



<p>Is the planet so remarkably benevolent that herbs flourish from one year to the next based on the same yearly electromagnetic patterns that influence health?</p>



<p>If it is true that each of the twelve meridians of Oriental Medicine dominates for 2 hours each day, and if it is true that a set of meridians dominates in each of the seasons and at the cross quarters of the solstice and equinox, is it also true that each year, a different meridian pathway is receiving a strong impulse from the universe, while another is in a resting stage?</p>



<p>Yes, this is what the meridian wheel might imply.</p>



<p> This understanding could be recovered as the spiritual inheritance for all of humanity, </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Law of Midnight and 2023: Rabbits vs. Tigers</strong></p>



<p>The Law of Midnight implies that as the Year of the Tiger (3 to 5 am, Stomach)) yields to the Year of the Rabbit (5 to 7 am), the high tide of the Lung is now yielding to the high tide of the Large Intestine frequencies. We are at the boundary waters. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/TCM-pairs-correct.png" alt="" class="wp-image-14187" width="739" height="547" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/TCM-pairs-correct.png 631w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/TCM-pairs-correct-300x222.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/TCM-pairs-correct-600x444.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">See also: <a href="https://www.naturalblaze.com/2022/10/5g-emf-rf-acupuncture-emf-sensitivity-and-the-law-of-midday-midnight.html">5G/EMF/RF Acupuncture, “EMF Sensitivity,” and “The Law of Midday/Midnight” (naturalblaze.com)</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>In a sense, the Large Intestine is being nursed by the year’s solar radiation.</p>



<p>At the same time, within the exquisite geometry of the Meridian Flow Wheel, when the Large Intestine (5 to 7 am) is receiving an increase in energy, the Kidneys (Rooster, 5 to 7 pm), across the wheel will experience an opposite &#8216;midnight&#8217; low tide, or rest. </p>



<p>The seers understood that each meridian could either be stimulated or sedated in order to balance the individual’s energy field with the cosmos. This is but one foundation of the exquisite eloquence of the science of acupuncture.  &nbsp;</p>



<p>The luni-solar calendar implies that a twelve-year cycle exists influencing both health and agriculture. The pattern was established through observation, direct experience, and accurate record keeping, unsurpassed by the West. </p>



<p>It belongs to all of us. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Decades: The Wrong Framework for Pattern Recognition</strong></p>



<p>The patterns of the cosmos are not apparent when statistics are classified by decades and centuries, as has been imposed in the West. &nbsp;In fact, recently the World Health Organization shifted its data collection for disease and death to 20- year cohorts, which obscures the pattern or earlier onset of Alzheimer’s and other neurological conditions and diseases.  &nbsp;</p>



<p>Observing a twelve-year pattern, the Chinese seers noticed that health would be either enhanced or challenged by the high and low tides of the different meridians, and they adjusted their lifestyles accordingly. </p>



<p>In the Year of the Rabbit (Large Intestine high tide), those with low Kidney constitution may experience lower vitality. and need to conserve to protect their essence and <em>kidney chi</em>. Strategies could include herbs, massage, stretching, acupressure and acupuncture, management of cold exposures, and conservation in sexual activity especially for older men, especially in winter. Because the Kidneys are likened to an essential battery, the guarding of Kidney essence is a foundation of Chinese Medicine and culture. </p>



<p>Recognition of the twelve-year cycle playing out against individual constitution challenges the foundations of mass medical care. This might include the idea that an individual must take the same prescription medication for life.  Energy medicine sheds doubt on the validity of side effects which strain one system to support another, when harmonization could be pursued.</p>



<p>Acceptance of surgeries that remove organs, surgeries that cut across the meridian electromagnetic pathways, and non-emergency surgeries at the time of the full moon are examples of practices not informed by available recognition of Time as a manifestation of Energy.  </p>



<p>Most importantly, energetic literacy points to the danger of blanketing the planet, the nature environment, and human organisms with artificial man-made frequencies.</p>



<p>The global experience of the health crisis of the last few years would have played out very differently in an energy-literate humanity, because knowledge is an antidote to existential terror.  </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Self-Care and Self Knowledge Yields Compassion</strong> <strong>and Understanding</strong></p>



<p>Denigration by the West including ridicule of &#8220;astrology&#8221; borne of misunderstanding (and cultural arrogance) has resulted in the separation of many Eastern practices from their contextual cosmological world view. </p>

<p>In this short video, Indian teacher Sadguru explains that Yoga means aligning with the Cosmic Geometry. &#8220;&#8221;Now this possibility, of a simple thing called yoga is not about twisting your body, it&#8217;s not about getting fit, it&#8217;s not about getting healthy, this all these things nature will do for you if only if you live in tune with it.&#8221;</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Chinese Culture and Calendar</strong></p>



<p>History.com<a href="https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/chinese-new-year"> reports</a>, “The Western-style Gregorian calendar arrived in China along with Jesuit missionaries in 1582. It began to be used by the general population by 1912, and New Year’s Day was officially recognized as occurring on January 1. Beginning in 1949, under the rule of Chinese Communist Party leader Mao Zedong, the government forbade celebration of the traditional Chinese New Year and followed the Gregorian calendar in its dealings with the West.</p>



<p>But at the end of the 20th century, Chinese leaders were more willing to accept the Chinese tradition. In 1996, China instituted a weeklong vacation during the holiday—now called Spring Festival—giving people the opportunity to travel home and to celebrate the new year. &nbsp;In the early 21st century, many Chinese families spent a significant amount of their discretionary income celebrating the Spring Festival with traditional symbols and food. They also spent time watching the televised Spring Festival Gala: an annual variety show featuring traditional and contemporary singers, dancers and magic demonstrations.&nbsp; Although the rites of the holiday no longer officially carry religious value, people remain sensitive to the symbolism of the zodiac animals. The zodiac animal is considered, for example, when assessing personal fortunes or the prospects of a child born at that time.”</p>



<p>Try as they might, Chinese rulers could not impose the Gregorian calendar, and were not able to eradicate the wisdom traditions of yesteryear. Against the force of rule of their leaders, the Chinese people sustained the practices that harmonize with the time/space continuum, from Feng Shui to observing the Chinese New Year.</p>



<p>This includes recognizing the new moon detoxification and full moon absorbing properties, and knowing when to plant, water, fertilize, and harvest.</p>



<p>The practices are not &#8220;superstitious.&#8221; They are simply beyond the scope of the primitive sciences of the West. </p>



<p>Eastern recognition of the planet&#8217;s cosmic current can be contrasted to creating an artificial, insatiable demand for uniformed satellite data and so-called precision agriculture.  The contrived demand for data is being weaponized. </p>



<p>One antidote is the wisdom of the ancestors. </p>



<p>We can recover knowledge of planetary patterns, as our birthright. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/stella-natura.png" alt="" class="wp-image-14188" width="702" height="880"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><a href="https://www.stellanatura.com/">Stella Natura 2023 Biodynamic Planting Calendar and Planting Guide</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>We can learn a great deal from the Eastern, indigenous, and equatorial island cultures nearer to the moon that studied the lunar declination, waning and waxing phases, and sign, and understood the effect of the eclipses, including the impact on rhythms synchronizing human health. </p>



<p>We can be humble. Time is energy, frequency, and medicine. </p>



<p>We are currently caught in a rip tide, with the undertow of ungrounded technology dragging us away from the shoreline.</p>



<p>The question is not necessarily whether or not the sixty-year luni-solar calendar developed over 5,000 years ago is still accurate. The question is whether or not we can reconnect with our powers of perception and pattern recognition again.</p>



<p>In the same way that our sense of direction and map reading ability is being replaced by satellite imagery, the question is whether or not we will recognize our ability to dowse the universe against the backdrop of time as energy.  And in the process, to stop hurting ourselves and one another. </p>



<p>Aligning with cosmic geometry is a prayer of Thanksgiving. Nature is calling. </p>



<p>&#8220;If we make no effort to change direction, we will end up where we are heading.&#8221;                    &#8212; Chinese Proverb</p>

<p>By Patricia Burke of<a href="https://safetechinternational.org/">&nbsp;Safe Tech International</a>, Images Courtesy&nbsp;<a href="https://inkwellbooksllc.com/product/uncle-hershel/">Floris Freshman</a>, (because we are the ones reporting the real history)</p>



<p>This is part 2 of an on-going series. In part 1, <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/5g-ehs-rf-health-safety-reseach-what-we-know-from-herd-dogs-part-1/">5G/EHS/RF Health &amp; Safety Research, What We Know from Herd Dogs,</a> we discussed the fact that within the canine breed, we recognize that different dogs have different instincts and abilities, which is why humans don’t use dachshunds to locate avalanche survivors. It’s not just about size.</p>



<p>And even within a dog breed, there are anomalies, like the retriever who won’t swim.</p>



<p>“In our scientific community, we have the equivalent of pro-industry, mercenary dachshunds and chihuahuas producing research “proving” that herding capacities in collies do not exist. Our science regarding animals is incomplete; our science that exploits animals is immoral and unnecessary; and our industry science that denies harm to a portion of the human population caused by artificial frequencies is unethical.”</p>



<p>We can change this.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Caught in the Storm (Drain Grate)</strong></p>



<p>One afternoon when they were young, after watching a television show <a href="A%20Boy%20Named%20Charlie%20Brown%20(1969)%20-%20Kick%20the%20Football%20Scene%20(4/10)%20|%20Movieclips">where Lucy kept pulling the football away from Charlie Brown</a>, my sons invented a new football game.</p>



<p>Unbeknownst to me, they ventured into the toolbox in the garage.&nbsp;By cutting a soda can, they created a spiked football holder. Then they placed the metal contraption in a hole in the storm drain grate.</p>



<p>It kept the football in place perfectly. They took turns, with one brother kicking the ball and the other catching it and tossing it back, with the drain hole cover acting as the team’s center and special team&#8217;s kick holder.</p>



<p>Later in the evening, after dark, the dog came to the door bleeding badly after slicing his paw when he stepped on the sharp metal, requiring stitches.</p>



<p>But what happened afterwards is more to the point of the story.</p>



<p>The dog developed an instinctual reaction to storm drains. If we were walking him on the leash and approaching a storm drain, he would suddenly tense up, slow down, hyper focus on the grate, and then literally lunge into the roadway to avoid it, even into on-coming traffic.</p>



<p>Our relationship with wireless technologies, &#8211; especially cell phones and safety, is equally as instinct injured. Unfortunately, wireless technologies are not the only safety myth leading humanity directly into on-coming traffic.</p>



<p>We need to get it together, together.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Reclaiming Knowledge That is Always New and New Again</strong></p>



<p>Through-out eons, long before the healing and healthcare became equated with drugs and surgery, humans learned through instinct, observation, and direct experience. &nbsp;Lived biology helped refine the human sensory system.&nbsp;We have co-evolved with, and for, life on Earth.</p>



<p>The Indian sciences of yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedic astrology were developed through reverence for the Cosmos as an organizing intelligence.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="783" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/image-40-1024x783.png" alt="" class="wp-image-13934" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/image-40-1024x783.png 1024w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/image-40-300x229.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/image-40-768x587.png 768w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/image-40-600x459.png 600w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/image-40.png 1048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Humans learned downward dog pose from observing nature. For decades, the military skewed fitness in favor of power, strength, speed and endurance. The West arrived very late to understanding that flexibility is a component of health. The role of fascia connective tissue has only recently been recognized.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Ancient cultures not only codified principles to sustain human health. They understood variations based on constitutional tendencies. Within one family, there might be very different health tendencies between <em>pitta, kapha, and vata </em>siblings with individual strengths and vulnerabilities. </p>



<p>In Chinese Medicine, according to an article published by Remedy Grove<a href="https://remedygrove.com/traditional/The-Guide-To-The-12-Major-Meridians-of-the-Body">, A Guide to the 12 Major Meridians of the Body</a> by Kristin Nagy, here are two examples of meridian qualities which also correspond to constitutional types. </p>



<p><strong>Large Intestine (Arm Yang Ming)</strong> <strong>Function:&nbsp;</strong>Extracts and processes water from waste material before expelling it. <strong>Symptoms of imbalance:</strong>&nbsp;Abdominal pains, and on an emotional level, difficulty holding on or letting go. <strong>Time of day:&nbsp;</strong>5:00am–7:00am <strong>Element:&nbsp;</strong>Metal</p>



<p><strong>Kidney (Leg Shao Yin)</strong> <strong>Function:</strong>&nbsp;Stores sexual energy, regulates the reproductive system, and produces blood and bone marrow. <strong>Symptoms of imbalance:&nbsp;</strong>Genital-urinary disorders, backaches, asthma, and tinnitus. On an emotional level, the kidney meridian controls willpower, determination, and ability to cope with hardship. <strong>Time of day:&nbsp;</strong>5:00pm–7:00pm <strong>Element:&nbsp;</strong>Water</p>



<p>One person can be prone to heat, another to chill; one to overcharge, another to dissipation of energy.</p>



<p>Much of what was systematized by the ancients as informed self-care and self-mastery is now devalued, dismissed, attacked, and/or forgotten. Learning from nature, instinct, observation, and direct experience, again, could restore balance, especially if we listen to one another, and to those experiencing harm.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Recognizing Reactions to Trauma and Danger</strong></p>



<p>The field of energy psychology has made great strides in helping humans to uncouple stress reactions that are dysfunctional, where the body/mind connection over-reacts to something that is seemingly benign. This includes EFT- Emotional Freedom Technique.</p>



<p>But it is a cognitive error to assume that reactions in humans to environmental toxins are instinct-injured over-reactions. As trauma expert Peter Levine noted, “In a herd of deer, we need some super-sensitive ones. They are the ones that will hear that teeniest little crack or smell the one or two molecules of scent from the mountain lion that’s stalking them. Their job is to use their hyper-sensitivity to alert the whole group.”</p>



<p>Regarding the exquisite relationship between the planet’s electromagnetic energy field and human and environmental health, the mass consumer culture and tech culture are in the Dark Ages, riding on the fumes of the Witch Trails. This includes treating the human body as the equivalent of an automobile with removable parts rather than as an interrelated, interconnected energetic field alchemizing with the Cosmic Current. It includes denying the unique capabilities of women to detect and respond to electromagnetic frequencies. &nbsp;It includes industry-funded researchers deceiving research subjects and attempting to justify the nocebo explanation.  It includes double blind placebo tests and lying and sham exposures. The detection of lies can elicit a guarded, cautious reaction.  </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>If We Were Only Willing to Question</strong> <strong>Our Beliefs</strong></p>



<p>We have reached the point where the intentional suppression of evidence of harm is negligent.</p>



<p>We are at the bending – a turning of the Ages, when the beliefs that defined an earlier age are being replaced by differing insights and understandings. Jose Arguelles, PhD. notes, “Belief systems, believe it or not, are functions of time. What you believe defines the time you are living in.’ &nbsp;</p>



<p>But in this case, it is not about new inventions or new technology. We are actually cycling backwards, circling around to recover what was lost during an Age of Materialism and dissociation. </p>



<p>In 2011, the late vegan eco-activist <a href="http://martikheel.com/">Marti Kheel </a>(1948 -2011) spoke at a meeting to the California Public Utilities Commission regarding the wireless smart meter debacle, an example of a tech-laden ‘sustainability’ investment compromised by economic and surveillance objectives that caused direct harm to a portion of the population. She explained, “When you are standing at the edge of a cliff, progress is walking backward.”&nbsp;</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>There is one thing that can be done immediately to begin to balance the scales, which is to have the right people using the right science to quantify adverse health effects of artificial frequencies on non-consenting, non-benefitting populations, including <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=465505359081660&amp;set=a.385521690413361">children</a>.</p>



<p>The right people should be speaking, directly, to those suffering from wireless exposures, and investigating the environments where harm is unfolding, for example,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pittsfieldcell"> Shacktown, Pittsfield, MA. &nbsp;&nbsp;</a></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>“No Evidence Whatsoever”</strong></p>



<p>&nbsp;“Commentary Box Sports &#8211; latest news from all around the world” is an on-line aggregator recently&nbsp;publishing inaccurate conclusions regarding reported harm caused by wireless exposures in the article <a href="https://commentaryboxsports.com/can-you-be-sensitive-to-wifi-and-mobile-radiation-investigators-again-found-no-evidence-whatsoever/">“Can you be sensitive to WiFi and mobile radiation? Investigators again found no evidence whatsoever.”</a></p>



<p>The article published Dec. 14 in the” science” category by Faye Welch “Travel enthusiast. Alcohol lover. Friendly entrepreneur. Coffeeaholic. Award-winning writer,” offers no references or hyperlinks. (The publication has not yet responded to an inquiry for references.)</p>



<p>The article states, “For more than twenty years, researchers have been conducting double-blind studies to determine whether these claims hold up. So far, these studies always lead to the same conclusion: People who say they have electromagnetic hypersensitivity are no better at distinguishing between real and imaginary exposures than control people. There is no demonstrable association between exposure to electromagnetic fields and reported symptoms.</p>



<p>And most importantly, complaints of people who have declared themselves suffering from electromagnetic hypersensitivity often appear when they are convinced of the presence of radiation, although there is no radiation. Researchers such as Omar van den Bergh, professor emeritus of health psychology at KU Leuven, suspect that the nocebo effect exists. This means that the symptoms are just the result of a belief that something is serious. “In combination with the body’s stress reactions, strong expectations can form the basis of a vicious cycle, where the sufferer with EHS believes that environmental triggers are actually causing the complaints,” he says.”</p>



<p>Likewise, in 2015, Huffington Post Canada <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/archive/ca/entry/wi-fi-isnt-making-you-sick-its-the-nocebo-effect_b_8315564">advised</a>, &#8220;I will simply point out that the academic literature is essentially unanimous on the subject. It is not the Wi-Fi that is causing your or your children&#8217;s headaches, it is the nocebo effect.&#8221; If only academia were not being funded by industry, for example, <a href="https://www.healthy-holistic-living.com/cornell-student-took-bill-gates-monsanto-plans-expose-agenda-even-blockbuster-new-project/">Cornell and Monsanto</a>. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Energy Literacy is the Solution</strong></p>



<p>If a researcher were to take 100 different dogs and conduct studies on the question of whether dogs can herd, that study might offer no useful or valid information about the question of whether or not a specific dog can herd or detect an incoming lightning threat. Drug studies do not confirm whether or not a medication that is helpful for one individual is appropriate for another. (Hence drugs with lists of potential &#8216;side&#8217; effects.) Mass medicine has pushed humans down an increasingly restrictive one-way street of unfounded beliefs. </p>



<p>Fear temporarily constricts our ability to reason and to access parts of the brain not needed to insure our immediate survival, (as does greed.)  In a healthy organism or culture, calm is restored when the threat has passed. </p>



<p>We have allowed the industry and its partners to promote studies where they subject individuals to wireless frequencies under laboratory conditions, and turn the frequencies off and on, expecting the human energy field to act as if it is a radar or smoke detector.&nbsp; Restoration of homeostasis between exposures is not even considered. </p>



<p>The time of day, time of year, inborn constitution, hydration level, menstruation cycle, moon phase, and other energetic factors are electromagnetic variables far beyond the intellectual scope of the current operating paradigm. </p>



<p>But they have informed the Eastern perspectives for thousands of years. </p>



<p>When the industry-funded scientists running the experiments tell us that the subjects can’t reliably report whether or not the frequency is off or on, they conclude that no harm is actually occurring as the result of exposures.  In addition, we measure the temperature of <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/emf-fr-5g-otzi-vs-sam-does-frozen-5300-year-old-man-offer-more-to-wireless-science-than-industry-safety-tests/">inanimate engineering models </a>as a test of “safety,” and if there is not significant heating effect, we also conclude that no harm is occurring.</p>



<p><a href="https://safetechinternational.org/emf-rf-5g-tin-foil-hats-meridians-glymphatics-and-heads-that-are-not-layer-cakes/">These forms of science</a> are demonstrating an extraordinary level of bio-energetic illiteracy.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Fifty Different Words for Snow, Twenty-nine Qualities for Twelve Pulses</strong></p>



<p>In 2013, the Washington Post published, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/there-really-are-50-eskimo-words-for-snow/2013/01/14/e0e3f4e0-59a0-11e2-beee-6e38f5215402_story.html">“There really are 50 Eskimo words for ‘snow’”</a>. “The Sami also have as many as 1,000 words for reindeer.” []”Central Siberian Yupik has 40 such terms, while the Inuit dialect spoken in Canada’s Nunavik region has at least 53, including “matsaaruti,” for wet snow that can be used to ice a sleigh’s runners, and “pukak,” for the crystalline powder snow that looks like salt.</p>



<p>This kind of linguistic exuberance should come as no surprise, experts say, since languages evolve to suit the ideas and needs that are most crucial to the lives of their speakers. “These people need to know whether ice is fit to walk on or whether you will sink through it,” says linguist Willem de Reuse at the University of North Texas. “It’s a matter of life or death.” &#8220;</p>



<p>The Chinese, Ayurvedic and other Eastern cultures were explorers of human energy, individualized human health, and human potential.</p>



<p>A <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_diagnosis">Wikipedia response</a> to a search for “pulse diagnosis Chinese medicine” notes,” Pulse diagnosis is a diagnostic technique used in Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Mongolian medicine, Siddha medicine, traditional Tibetan medicine, and Unani. It has no scientific legitimacy, and is ill-defined, subjective and unreliable.”</p>



<p>Chinese Medicine codified twelve different organ &#8216;pulses&#8217; that can be detected on the wrists. Sacred Lotus <a href="https://www.sacredlotus.com/go/diagnosis-chinese-medicine/get/4-pillars-pulse-images-tcm-diagnosis">describes</a> 29 different qualities of the meridian organ pulses.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pulse-diagnosis.png" alt="" class="wp-image-13935" width="473" height="909" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pulse-diagnosis.png 275w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/pulse-diagnosis-156x300.png 156w" sizes="(max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><a href="https://www.sacredlotus.com/go/diagnosis-chinese-medicine/get/4-pillars-pulse-images-tcm-diagnosis">The 29 Pulses in Chinese Medicine (TCM) Pulse Diagnosis (sacredlotus.com)</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>The Chinese were/are as skillful in recognizing the energetic signatures of the pulse qualities as the Eskimos were of qualitatively describing snow.</p>



<p>We need to become skillful in recognizing Western intellectual arrogance.</p>



<p>It’s not so much of a problem that the West only knows the names of Santa’s reindeer, and not the 1000 descriptive terms used by the Sami. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Not-so-smart-santa.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13939" width="734" height="548" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Not-so-smart-santa.jpg 582w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Not-so-smart-santa-300x224.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px" /></figure>



<p>But our energetic illiteracy regarding frequencies is unleashing a tsunami of harm, just as juxtaposed, chronic, and cumulative chemical use does.</p>



<p>Exposure to man-made frequencies is disrupting the balance of the electromagnetic energies both within the body, and in the Cosmos itself. Wireless tech is redistributing <em>chi</em> in dysfunctional ways in non-benefitting, non-consenting humans, including <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pittsfieldcell">Amelia and her family</a>, as well as adversely affecting <a href="http://Published Research on the Adverse Effect of Wireless Technology and Electromagnetic Radiation on Bees – Environmental Health Trust (ehtrust.org)">other species</a>.  Harm is happening. </p>

<p>“All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.”― Edmund Burke</p>



<p>Every &#8216;good person&#8217; who uses a cell phone and promotes more infrastructure and is not willing to engage in the process of demanding appropriate safety monitoring, <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/tinnitus-revisited-when-safety-testing-is-unreal/">testing</a>, and protection for those being harmed is tipping the scales to enable evil to prevail. </p>



<p><strong>Bonus Hint from the Cosmos</strong>: The New Year doesn&#8217;t start on Jan. 1, except for those still under the sway of the time when the church took the calendar away from the people, to sever their relationship with Nature. The new moon matters, and the Year of the Rabbit (5 am to 7 am) does matter to both the Large Intestine (high tide), as well as the Kidneys (low tide). </p>



<p>Jose Arguelles, writing of &#8220;this perilous passage, a consequence of operating in ignorance of the actual nature of time and consciousness,&#8221; invited humanity to “Change your calendar, get back into living in harmony with the natural cycles of the rest of the biosphere and the universe.” &nbsp;(This is) “not a time for the vacillation of flabby souls, but at a great turning point in the history of scientific thought, as a crisis such as occurs but once in a thousand years, such as has not been witnessed for many generations.&#8221; &nbsp;</p>



<p>Our senses and our intellectual capacities can take us back to the (biodynamic) Earth Garden that is our birthright.  Now. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Dog vs. Lightning and Fireworks and Guns – But Why Only Some Dogs?</strong></p>



<p>Our collie-cross wasn’t oblivious. He was utterly inconsolable.</p>



<p>He could sense impending thunder long before his human companions were aware. He would begin to coral us hours before a storm was apparent, later attempting to get under the carpet, underneath the coffee table, trembling. &nbsp;</p>



<p>He was in a state of existential terror at the New Year and on the 4<sup>th</sup> of July.</p>



<p>After years of helplessly watching him suffer, I was somewhat grateful when a friend introduced me to flower remedies. Nicky would stand with his eyes glazed over, still trembling, leaning against my leg, standing between the couch and the table, more sedated than frantic, but miserable. In those hours, he was a different animal. While more contained in his agony, he was unreachable until the storm passed. &nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>A Very Smart Dog, With Diverse Instincts</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/nicky.png" alt="" class="wp-image-13648" width="734" height="574" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/nicky.png 479w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/nicky-300x234.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Collie cross not oblivious to lightning, fireworks, and gunshots </figcaption></figure>



<p>Long before it became fashionable to do genetic testing of dog breeds, and before thunder jackets became a thing, I realized that despite the storm challenge, our collie-cross was a very smart dog.</p>



<p>He knew the word “walk” and the phrase “do you want to go (for a)” which resulted in his trademark joy dance.</p>



<p>He watched his humans vigilantly, and if the car trunk was opened, he would jump in at the slightest hint that we were going somewhere. After opening a relevant closet, or moving a gym bag, sometimes we’d find him later, asleep in the back seat.</p>



<p>He could tell time and knew whether it was a weekday or weekend by noting whether or not work clothes or pancakes were involved. </p>



<p>He was also very jealous and would assert himself between every family member and other dogs, or the fish tank.</p>



<p>One Christmas when Spike the lizard arrived, the dog barked at the top of his lungs incessantly, and Spike perished before the day was over, most likely of fright. That was not the best of years.</p>



<p>My friend Jackie referred to him as a dog who really was a person.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Collies Don’t Swim</strong>, <strong>Until They Do </strong></p>



<p>In addition to human emotions, he exhibited characteristics of a number of different breeds.</p>



<p>On occasion, he would stop suddenly and assume a pointer stance, driving us into hysterics.</p>



<p>Like many collies, he hated the water, but lived with a beach–loving family. He would howl on the shore when the boys were swimming or boating, until one day he summoned the courage to ride in a boat. His fear of being left behind became greater than his fear of the rocky transport. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Then one memorable Father’s Day, he lost sight of me behind the island as I was swimming alongside the boaters, and suddenly belly-flopped off the kayak into the water and dog-paddled over to me.</p>



<p>We were stunned. From that day on, he expected to join me when I swam.</p>



<p>That afternoon, he modeled for me the power of overcoming fear with the courage of love.</p>



<p>It is a lifelong lesson. He loved us, fiercely.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Life-saving Instincts</strong></p>



<p>Trauma expert Peter Levine stated, “In a herd of deer, we need some super-sensitive ones. They are the ones that will hear that teeniest little crack or smell the one or two molecules of scent from the mountain lion that’s stalking them. Their job is to use their hyper-sensitivity to alert the whole group.”</p>



<p>Our dog was both a herder and a watchdog.</p>



<p>Nicky’s ability to sense an impending storm would have enabled him to drive a herd to safety.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Richocet the Surf Dog</strong></p>



<p>Clearly, within the diversity of the canine species, some dogs have differing skills.</p>



<p>Humans recognize and make use of many of these capacities, training dogs to work alongside humans in various ways, like the golden retrievers and poodles selected to become service dogs.</p>



<p>This video about Richocet tells the story of a service-dog-in-training who “flunked out” because she wanted to keep chasing birds.</p>

<p><em>“Ricochet pioneered the concept of canine-assisted surf therapy and adaptive surfing in 2009, when she made an independent decision to jump on a surfboard with Patrick Ivison who is quadriplegic.</em> <em>Since then, she&#8217;s surfed with hundreds of kids with special needs, people with different abilities, wounded warriors and veterans with PTSD. She&#8217;s also a certified goal-directed therapy dog who heals, empowers, enhances and improves the quality of life for individuals with physical, cognitive, or emotional disabilities. She balances boards, and lives!”</em></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Sensing a Tsunami</strong></p>



<p>In 2005, National Geographic published the article <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/news-animals-tsunami-sense-coming">“Did Animals Sense Tsunami Was Coming? Before the tsunami in Sri Lanka, coastal animals seemed to sense something was coming and fled to safety”</a>,</p>



<p>“Before giant waves slammed into Sri Lanka and India coastlines ten days ago, wild and domestic animals seemed to know what was about to happen and fled to safety. According to eyewitness accounts, the following events happened:</p>



<p>• Elephants screamed and ran for higher ground.</p>



<p>• Dogs refused to go outdoors.</p>



<p>• Flamingos abandoned their low-lying breeding areas.</p>



<p>• Zoo animals rushed into their shelters and could not be enticed to come back out.</p>



<p>“Alan Rabinowitz, director for science and exploration at the Bronx Zoo-based Wildlife Conservation Society in New York, says animals can sense impending danger by detecting subtle or abrupt shifts in the environment.”</p>



<p>&#8220;Earthquakes bring vibrational changes on land and in water while storms cause electromagnetic changes in the atmosphere,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Some animals have acute sense of hearing and smell that allow them to determine something coming towards them long before humans might know that something is there.&#8221;</p>



<p>“But the United States Geological Survey, a government agency that provides scientific information about the Earth, says a reproducible connection between a specific behavior and the occurrence of a quake has never been made. &#8220;What we&#8217;re faced with is a lot of anecdotes,&#8221; said Andy Michael, a geophysicist at USGS. &#8220;Animals react to so many things—being hungry, defending their territories, mating, predators—so it&#8217;s hard to have a controlled study to get that advanced warning signal.&#8221;</p>



<p>“In the 1970s a few studies on animal prediction were done by the USGS, &#8220;but nothing concrete came out of it,&#8221; Michael said. Since that time the agency has made no further investigations into the theory.” “ &#8211; <em>National Geographic</em></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Humans and Hounds and Herding</strong> <strong>and Hurting</strong></p>



<p>Canines with an enhanced capacity to smell, like blood hounds and St Bernard avalanche dogs, track and find lost children and skiers.</p>



<p>Herding dogs have an enhanced capacity to detect electromagnetic frequencies, including lightning.&nbsp; It is in their DNA and in their biology and physiology.&nbsp;</p>



<p>It is not an “illness”, and it is not “all in their heads.”</p>



<p>This brings us back to the issue of human capabilities, in a modern mass society that has failed to study or value differing inborn instinctual capacities in animals and humans.</p>



<p>Alan Rabinowitz was correct when noting that animals can sense impending danger by detecting subtle or abrupt shifts in the environment.</p>



<p>He was most likely not correct in assuming that animals rely on hearing and smell. Other capacities are involved. </p>



<p>Like the herding dogs, and like the seers of ancient societies who were able to perceive and map out the patterns of energy that choreograph life, there are humans in the modern day and age with an enhanced physical awareness of frequencies.</p>



<p>In former times, they were healers, dowsers, priests and priestesses, and navigators. In some cultures, they still are. &nbsp;</p>



<p>But in the mass consumer, technocratic, and militarized  nations favoring economic growth and control, energy intuitives are becoming ill and disabled, as well as <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/expert-responses-to-psychology-todays-tin-foil-hat-commentary-kent-chamberlin-and-magda-havas/">ridiculed</a>. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Energy Literacy</strong></p>



<p>Awareness of energy is not a left-brain hemisphere intellectual endeavor.  A border collie does not consult a weather report. His entire physiology and multiple sensory systems give the dog input from multiple sources about impending danger.</p>



<p>One of my teachers,<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Energy-Medicine-Donna-Eden/dp/1585420212/ref=d_pd_sbs_sccl_2_3/147-5661040-0755263?pd_rd_w=RG3fj&amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.38bbd1de-73a5-4ef9-9954-df27c3112829&amp;pf_rd_p=38bbd1de-73a5-4ef9-9954-df27c3112829&amp;pf_rd_r=TJR19B4CJ7AP3N71AAHJ&amp;pd_rd_wg=6Q05J&amp;pd_rd_r=daaa2a58-29f9-46c2-a009-c250042ac40b&amp;pd_rd_i=1585420212&amp;psc=1"> Energy Medicine </a>author Donna Eden, reminds us that the ancestors who survived were the ones who were the most skilled at recognizing which plants were safe to eat.  For example, hunters might notice which berries or mushrooms the animals ate.  </p>



<p>A forager might hold a food item for a few minutes, and note what happens to their salvia, heart rate, and digestive <em>chi.</em>  </p>



<p>The sheep herders who survived were the ones who gave their flocks safe passage.</p>



<p>The ancient Chinese mapped out the invisible information highway that flows from the hands to the head, the head to the feet, the feet to the torso, and the torso to the hands, choreographed by the angle of the sun. They are the Meridians, </p>



<p>They also mapped out pathways that can be activated on demand, for example, the way in which the body responds to life-threatening danger of lightning, or falling through the ice. (See; EMF/RF/5G vs. <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/emf-rf-5g-vs-the-penetrating-flow-to-restore-one-perfect-planets-grace/">The Penetrating Flow, to Restore One Perfect Planet’s Grace</a>)</p>



<p>The same pathways flow in our animal companions. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Round Up Your Mates</strong></p>



<p>A few years back, Guinness produced an adorable commercial for St. Patrick’s Day “Round up your mates for a GUINNESS on St Patrick&#8217;s Day.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<p>They could not have produced the commercial with a Dachshund or a Chihuahua.</p>



<p>In our scientific community, we have the equivalent of pro-industry, mercenary dachshunds and chihuahuas producing research “proving” that herding capacities in collies do not exist.</p>



<p>Our science regarding animals is incomplete; our science that exploits animals is immoral and unnecessary; and our industry science that denies harm to a portion of the human population by artificial frequencies is unethical.</p>



<p>Injured humans are warning those who can’t yet detect a tsunami of health and environmental harm. </p>



<p>We can all stop this. </p>



<p><strong>In Part 2</strong> we will look at the ridiculousness and inapplicability of nocebo and sham studies forming the basis of societal beliefs about wireless safety and public policy, from the informed perspectives of post-traumatic stress and energy medicine.  </p>

<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Meet Ötzi!</strong></p>



<p>In 1991, a frozen body was discovered in Austria. The Iceman became known as Ötzi. Researchers studying the 5300-year-old iceman made some remarkable discoveries regarding his health and lifestyle.</p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Meet SAM!</strong></p>



<p>As the Australian consumer education group, “We Are Not SAM”<a href="https://wearenotsam.com/who-is-sam/"><strong>explains</strong></a>,</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="471" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/sam-meet-1024x471.png" alt="" class="wp-image-13617" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/sam-meet-1024x471.png 1024w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/sam-meet-300x138.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/sam-meet-768x353.png 768w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/sam-meet-600x276.png 600w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/sam-meet.png 1249w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><a href="https://wearenotsam.com/who-is-sam/">https://wearenotsam.com/who-is-sam/</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>“Specific Anthropomorphic Mannequin SAM is a plastic dummy used by the telecommunications industry across the world to test the heating effects of 5G wireless radiation of mobile phones.</p>



<p>Did you think there was rigorous testing done on your mobile phone to ensure your safety? Well there isn’t. The testing is fraudulent and so very flawed, yet it’s still the only means by which your ‘smart’ phone is tested for human safety. On a ‘dummy’.</p>



<p>The SAM plastic head is filled with a liquid to see if it heats up one degree within a 6-minute call (sometimes 30 minutes). If it doesn’t heat up by 1 degree then it is deemed safe, and given the tick of approval.</p>



<p>A few details worth noting about SAM:</p>



<p>1. The dummy is meant to represent us aka the average human, except that there is nothing average about SAM.</p>



<p>2. SAM’s head (which is what is being tested) is based on a 100kg, six-foot tall adult male military recruit. Does that describe you? We didn’t think so.</p>



<p>3. Only 3% of the population fit the stereotype of SAM.</p>



<p><strong>What sort of “safety” oversight only protects 3% of the population?</strong>&#8221; </p>

<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Category 1 Dead? or Alive</strong></p>



<p>In 2016, Ancient Origins published an updated article <a href="https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-evolution-human-origins/stomach-troubles-iceman-how-otzi-continues-provide-information-about-020693">“Stomach Troubles for the Iceman: How Otzi Continues to Provide Information About the Past.”</a></p>



<p>“Commonly known as “The Iceman”, Ötzi was first discovered by some German tourists in a glacier in Oetz Valley, Austria, in 1991. Since then, practically every aspect of his life has been studied. Research has revealed his age,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-iceman-dieth-180940763/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>how he died&nbsp;</strong></a>, what&nbsp;<a href="http://www.iceman.it/en/clothing-equipment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>he wore&nbsp;</strong></a>, and what&nbsp;<a href="http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/ancient-doomed-iceman-had-been-eating-mosses-1-180949275/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>he ate&nbsp;</strong></a>. His genome has also been decoded and furthermore, some of his&nbsp;<a href="http://www.livescience.com/24667-iceman-mummy-otzi-closest-relatives.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>relatives have been found&nbsp;</strong></a>.</p>



<p>Even&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/scientists-discover-new-tattoos-5300-year-old-otzi-iceman-mummy-002633"><strong>his tattoos&nbsp;</strong></a>were subjected to scrutiny. As&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-general/were-tzi-icemans-tattoos-therapeutic-00975"><strong>Ancient Origins&nbsp;</strong></a>reported in 2013, the tattoos may have been a form of ancient acupuncture. The scientists from the 2013 study explained: “Radiological images of the tattooed areas show degenerative areas under the tattoos that could have caused pain, as the tattooing spots lie approximately over the acupuncture medians, it seems common opinion that they could have been use for that.” Ötzi’s tattoos suggested that he may have been suffering from ailments like rheumatism and arthritis, now stomach problems can be added to the list as well. It has also been shown that he suffered from&nbsp;<a href="http://www.livescience.com/47114-otzi-had-heart-disease-genes.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>heart</strong></a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/11/otzi-iceman-teeth-tooth-cavities-gum-disease_n_3055109.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>gum disease,,</strong></a> gallbladder stones and&nbsp;<a href="http://www.iceman.it/en/iceman_health" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>parasites</strong></a>.”</p>



<p>Even though he has long been dead, he was once alive.</p>

<p>We could, of course, stop right here. </p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Category 2</strong> <strong>Understanding the Human Body</strong></p>



<p>“In February of 2015, Ancient Origins <a href="https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/scientists-discover-new-tattoos-5300-year-old-otzi-iceman-mummy-002633">noted</a>, “Scientists have discovered four more tattooed lines on ‘Ötzi the Iceman’, a 5,300-year-old mummy, bringing the total number of tattoos to 61.&nbsp; Researchers are still divided over whether the tattoos were purely decorative, had religious significance, or held a therapeutic purpose.</p>



<p>One of the more surprising discoveries about Ötzi was the series of tattoos found all over his body. His body art consists of sets of parallel lines and crosses, which were made by making small incisions in the skin and then rubbing them with charcoal and herbs.</p>



<p>It was long believed that Ötzi had around 50 tattoos on his body; however, some researchers suspected there may be others, no longer visible to the naked eye due to the darkening of his skin over time.”</p>



<p>Live Science <a href="https://www.livescience.com/63682-otzi-ice-man-took-medical-treatment.html">reports</a> that scientists from the Institute for Mummies and the Iceman at the European Research Academy in Italy, used cameras with specialized lenses that capture different wavelengths of light, ranging from ultraviolet light to infrared light.</p>



<p>Using this equipment, the researchers discovered a set of previously unknown tattoos, a set of lines, located on the lower side of Ötzi’s right ribcage, bringing the total number to 61. [ ]&nbsp; the tattooed areas were found to lie approximately over acupuncture medians. &nbsp;If the tattoos were indeed therapeutic, they may constitute the earliest evidence of acupuncture.</p>



<p>A spokesman for the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology had said, in relation to the 2013 study, that if indeed the tattoos were created as a form of acupuncture, “people of the Iceman&#8217;s times would have known not only about nature around them, but also about the human body and its reactions &#8211; I think this is remarkable.”</p>

<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Category 3 Recognition of the Scientific Basis of Acupuncture, Different Points of the Skin Possess Healing Properties</strong></p>



<p>In a <a href="https://blog.nuhs.edu/acupuncture-oriental-medicine-student/acupuncture-%C3%B6tzi">blog </a>for the National University of Health Services in November 2021, Danielle Pureifory observed,</p>



<p>“Due to the cold temperatures in the Alps, Ötzi’s bones, skin and even organs were well-maintained. As the team of European researchers began to analyze Ötzi’s body, they noted that he had many tattoos, and his body was encircled with plants and herbal medicines.</p>



<p>Scientists believe that Ötzi lived around 5,300 years ago, and these skin markings certainly give greater implications to the complexity of the medical care available during that time.</p>



<p>Some of the tattoos on his back correspond to Acupuncture points: UB21, UB22, UB23, UB24 and UB253. These points certainly can be used to treat back pain, but they also have the ability to address other ailments. UB21 can be used for abdominal pain and stomach disharmony, UB22 can address digestion and fluid metabolism. UB23 is a frequently used point in the clinic, and can be used to tonify the kidneys, strengthen yang, and also regulate fluid metabolism. UB24 &amp; 25 can both be used for back pain in the lumbar region, plus UB25 can also be used to treat dysfunction of the large intestine4. “</p>

<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Category 4 Recognition That Different Individuals Have Different Constitutional Strengths and Weaknesses, and That Mass Medicine Approaches and Regulations are Unscientific and Unsafe</strong></p>



<p><em>&#8220;From <a href="https://www.acupuncturetoday.com/mpacms/at/article.php?id=27608">an acupuncturist&#8217;s viewpoint</a>, the combination of points selected represents a meaningful therapeutic regimen.&#8221; </em></p>



<p>The therapeutic regimen is based on understanding of the electromagnetic pathways and points on the skin.</p>



<p>In June of 2000, Acupuncture Today published an article<a href="https://www.acupuncturetoday.com/mpacms/at/article.php?id=27608">,” Ice Age Acupuncture? Study of Mummified Body Raises Questions about Practice&#8217;s Origin</a>.”</p>



<p>Acupuncture Today <a href="https://www.acupuncturetoday.com/mpacms/at/article.php?id=27608">explained</a>, “Forensic analysis of the mummy also revealed that his intestines were filled with whipworm eggs, which can cause severe abdominal pain. Five other tattoos located on the body corresponded with points located on the gall bladder, spleen and liver meridians points that are traditionally used to treat stomach disorders.</p>



<p>“What, if any, significance did the ice man&#8217;s tattoos have beyond ornamentation? A group of scientists from the University of Graz in Austria attempted to answer that question by theorizing a possible relationship between the tattoos and traditional acupuncture points. Their findings, first published in The Lancet in 1999 and updated in Discover magazine earlier this year, purport to show that acupuncture or a system of healing quite similar to it may have been in use in central Europe more than 2,000 years earlier than previously believed.”</p>



<p>&#8220;The research team, led by Drs. Leopold Dorfer and Max Moser, first calculated the mummy&#8217;s cun by measuring its femur, tibia and radius. They then converted the measurements of the tattoos to cun and overlaid the locations of the tattoos to topographical representations of Chinese acupuncture points.&#8221;</p>



<p>(FYI: <a href="https://www.healthy-ojas.com/systems/acupressure-cun.html">Acupressure </a><font color="#d69848"><u>measurements,</u></font> Everyone has different body dimensions; According to the person who is to be treated. &nbsp;<strong>One cun</strong> = width of the thumb, in the middle, at the crease <strong>Three cun</strong> = combined breadth of the four fingers, at the level of the pinky finger&#8217;s first joint above the palm of the hand <strong>Twelve cun</strong> = the distance from the elbow crease to the wrist crease. Treatment is specific to the individual.)</p>



<p>&#8220;Experts from three acupuncture societies then examined the locations of the tattoos. In their opinion, nine tattoos could be identified as being located directly on, or within six millimeters of, traditional acupuncture points. Two more were located on an acupuncture meridian. One tattoo was used as a local point. The remaining three tattoos were situated between 6-13mm from the closest acupuncture point.&#8221;</p>



<p>The mummy’s markings corresponded with specific acupuncture treatment approaches for specific concerns based on the individual&#8217;s constitution.    </p>



<p>If he had different health problems, the markings would have been different, 5300 years ago. </p>
