<p>By&nbsp;<a href="https://safetechinternational.org/category/blog/">Patricia Burke</a>&nbsp;of<a href="https://safetechinternational.org/">&nbsp;Safe Tech International</a>, in honor of Spirit the Jaguar. Images courtesy&nbsp;<a href="https://inkwellbooksllc.com/product/uncle-hershel/">Floris Freshman</a>&nbsp;</p>



<p>On July 26, in their “weekly guide to the latest on FOIA, transparency and accountability battles, threats and wins” <a href="https://www.muckrock.com/">MuckRock</a> reported, “ Commander troubles:&nbsp;President Joe Biden’s German shepherd Commander bit seven people in a four-month period after former first dog Major was ousted from the White House over similar aggressive behavior, according to internal Secret Service communications&nbsp;<a href="https://muckrock.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=74862d74361490eca930f4384&amp;id=ecfd1d91f5&amp;e=bb95c33a8d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">obtained through the Freedom of Information Act and reviewed by The New York Post.</a>”</p>



<p>A NY Post article is<a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/25/biden-dog-commander-bit-or-threatened-10-people-sent-one-to-hospital/"> here</a>. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ny-post-3.png" alt="" class="wp-image-15566" width="736" height="555" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ny-post-3.png 657w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ny-post-3-300x226.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ny-post-3-600x452.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px" /></figure>



<p>Many theories have emerged about the dogs and their undesirable behaviors.</p>



<p>&nbsp;Some have followed political party lines.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>I Have a Few Theories</strong></p>



<p>They do not involve aliens or UFOs or assassinations or questions about pandemics.</p>



<p>I don’t think that the dogs were “sent away to the farm” for awhile in an attempt to hide an embarrassing pregnancy.</p>



<p>Yes, it’s clear to me, Major and Commander were peddling cocaine in the White House, and the Secret Service is covering.</p>



<p>No, actually I have another theory.</p>



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



<p>Many years ago, I asked a student if we could use a picture of her dog doing the yoga pose “downward dog” for a promotion.</p>



<p>We had a very sweet, engaging postcard with actual photographs of a yoga teacher, a toddler, and a golden retriever each doing the pose. &nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/downward-dog.png" alt="" class="wp-image-15567" width="741" height="555" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/downward-dog.png 653w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/downward-dog-300x225.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/downward-dog-600x449.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px" /></figure>



<p>Later, the dog owner came to me and said that is was ironic that we had used the photo of her dog, because she had recently learned that her golden retriever was quite ill, with skyrocketing levels of inflammatory markers.</p>



<p>Centuries ago, the ancients recognized both the Meridian electromagnetic pathways of the body that are choreographed by the sun, and the Radiant Circuits, also known as Strange Flows.</p>



<p>They performed “down dog” in order to activate, energize, and balance some of those pathways, in this case, including the Heart Meridian.</p>



<p>Dogs and cats are also comprised of electromagnetic fields which sustain their energy body, for example, the Gall Bladder Meridian shown here, from the book &#8220;Four Paws Five Directions&#8221; by Cheryl Schwartz. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/cat-gall-bladder.png" alt="" class="wp-image-15568" width="702" height="491"/></figure>



<p><a href="https://drcherylschwartz.com/product/four-paws-five-directions/">Four Paws Five Directions – Cheryl Schwartz (drcherylschwartz.com)</a></p>



<p>In recent history, especially in the last 150 years of mass consumerism, most of modern society has lost the maps, and has become increasingly illiterate in the Laws of Energy.</p>



<p>And unlike previous ages, when wisdom was accumulated by directly observing and interacting with Nature, individuals are increasingly distracted by devices, and not learning, and not learning how to learn through observation, interaction, relationship, or cultivation of the intuitional body.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>To Assume Makes an Ass Out of You and Me?</strong></p>



<p>As a result of energetic illiteracy, we see ridiculous and dangerous assumptions driving the technological revolution, for example the implication that the skin is the boundary between the internal and external environment, and 5G “only penetrates the skin” &#8211; therefore “5G is safe” &#8211; all based in inanimate tissue modeling. </p>



<p>Or, for example, the implication that because bananas emit radiation, that it’s ok to place an industrial-scale tower laden with antennas in a residential neighborhood, as discussed in greater detail <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/cell-towers-antennas-and-5g-emit-radiation-like-bananas-its-time-to-stop-consulting-the-industry/">here.</a> </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Dogs Know Better</strong></p>



<p>Dogs realize that the human consciousness field does not start at the skin, as they sniff the air around their human companions.</p>



<p>Bees also know better.</p>



<p>In his book “Bees,” Rudolf Steiner explains, “The bees feel, if I may use this expression, a person’s effluvia, exhalations, vapors, or perspiration. They know what makes up a specific human being.”(See Bees, Lectures by Rudolf Steiner, 1923, Translations copyright 1998. Anthroposophic Press, Great Barrington, MA, page 60.)&nbsp;</p>



<p>The measurable field that surrounds the body, and not the skin, is the first line of defense against external influences.</p>



<p>Rather than looking (only) at shallow penetration of the skin on a model as an assurance of 5G safety, research could&nbsp;and should be conducted to determine if the action of the intelligent,&nbsp;energetic, protective field that surrounds living beings&nbsp;is being compromised by artificial man-made exposures. Further, is the skin&#8217;s function itself being adversely impacted by artificial frequencies and lighting, for example, melatonin or Vit. D production?</p>



<p>Because if that energetic field in a human or another living being is being altered unnaturally, what or who is now remotely controlling, altering, and hijacking the harmonious balance that should be choreographed by the Earth’s Cosmic Current?</p>



<p>For example… the exquisite way that the Liver is doing so much interior detoxification to support health and well-being between the hours of 1 and 3 am, then yielding to the Lungs at 3 am, unless of course the individual is being unnaturally activated by microwave hearing and/or data transmissions disturbing the necessary, natural sleep cycle, as occurred when smart meters were installed on homes across the country. </p>



<p>Which has been widely reported. </p>



<p>Which brings me back to the question of the President’s dogs.</p>



<p>There are a number of things that we could be doing to determine how to sustain a healthy environment, and one of those things is to look at the RF/EMF exposures pummeling the dogs, bees, all flora and fauna, and the human species itself. And the Presidential pooches. </p>



<p>Thus far, studies such as the <a href="https://www.morrisanimalfoundation.org/golden-retriever-lifetime-study">Morris Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study</a> have not considered, monitored, or evaluated the possibility that radio frequency exposures may be contributing to increasing canine cancer rates, despite the findings of the National Toxicology Study.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Dogs in the White House</strong></p>



<p>The heavily-protected White house itself is filled with security and communications infrastructure.</p>



<p>If the dogs are hearing anything like what I (and others) hear turning off and on over the course of day and night,  -a multi-layered very high-pitched hum creating a thermo-elastic wave of pressure in my head, preventing healthy rest and sleep, &#8211;  I don’t blame them for biting &#8211; because it is irritating, aggravating, frustrating, and it involuntarily activates the Fight or Flight or Freeze response when brain waves are altered by an artificial external force. </p>



<p>Have the dog&#8217;s inflammatory marker&#8217;s been measured?</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Have dogs been measured for stress responses with and without EMF/RF exposures? </strong></p>



<p>Incredulously, there are similarities between <a href="https://casamyrna.org/images/stories/uploads/Teen_Dating_Violence_Power__Control_Wheel.pdf">domestic abuse</a> and the conditions being imposed on consumers for access to the essential service of electricity, in the case of smart meters. The demand to accept a surveilling wireless smart meter has been accompanied by minimization and blame, ridicule, domination, threats, and punitive fees. This is bullying, and abuse.</p>



<p>As pet owners look for the assurance of a signal on their cell phone to track their pets, or watch the animals remotely via Wi-Fi enabled video stream, are they sentencing them to illness and early death? </p>



<p>Where is the science that supports safety assumptions?   Is it anything like the incredible naivety and misplaced blind trust that has enabled industry-sourced SAM-enabled dummy human safety &#8216;tests&#8217;? (See <a href="https://www.wearenotsam.com/">WeAreNotSAM</a>)</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wearenotsam.com/">WeAreNotSAM</a></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Yes, We Have Been Keeping Plastic Heads Safe Since 1996</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/flo-head.png" alt="" class="wp-image-15584" width="741" height="558" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/flo-head.png 667w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/flo-head-300x226.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/flo-head-600x452.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px" /></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>“Humanity is Suffering a Great Separation Sickness”</strong></p>



<p>I have another theory about Commander and Major as well.</p>



<p>In the full-length documentary film “The Animal Communicator &#8211; Anna Breytenbach (Full documentary), in addition to other examples of Anna’s extraordinary work, the story is told about the rescue of a remarkable black jaguar.</p>



<p>He did not like the name imposed on him by his initial human captors, and was renamed “Spirit” by the respectful humans eventually entrusted with his care.</p>

</div></figure>



<p>(“Spirit” crossed over as the 2023 summer solstice neared, marking the balance between darkness and light, as reported below. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Animal Communicator Update on Spirit</strong></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><em>19th June 2023: Spirit left his body peacefully today, assisted by kind curators and vets who accurately determined that his cancer was uncomfortable and untreatable. He lived to an amazing 21 years of age &#8211; almost unprecedented for a leopard.</em>)</p>



<p>Instead of building better bombs, what if we were learning how to access the intelligence and presence demonstrated by Anna and others like her?</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The White House Dog’s Names Serve as Military Propaganda</strong></p>



<p>Reflecting the war-mongering ways of both Democratic and Republican administrations, the White House dogs&#8217; names serve as military propaganda. But it&#8217;s not working so well anymore. </p>



<p>In March of 2021, Military Times reported that <a href="https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2021/03/10/trust-in-the-military-is-dropping-significantly-new-survey-suggests/">‘Trust in the military is dropping significantly, new survey suggests.”</a></p>



<p>On July 31, 2023, News Nation reported, <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/military/americans-confidence-us-military-lowest-decades-gallup/">Americans’ confidence in US military continues to decline: Gallup</a>.</p>



<p>Politico reported, <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/americans-confidence-in-the-us-military-lowest-in-2-decades-poll-finds/ar-AA1eAZjZ">“Americans&#8217; confidence in the U.S. military lowest in 2 decades, poll finds.”</a></p>



<p><em>“Public confidence in the U.S. military continues to decline, reaching its lowest point in over two decades, according to a new poll.</em></p>



<p><em>Only 60 percent of Americans expressed “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the military in a recent Gallup poll conducted from June 1 to 22. That’s down from 64 percent who said the same last year.</em></p>



<p><em>Over the past 48 years, Republicans have consistently shown the highest levels of confidence in the military. But in just the past three years, Republican confidence plunged from 91 percent to 68 percent. Independents — who historically held moderate levels of confidence — now have the lowest trust, with public confidence dropping by 13 percentage points to 55 percent. Though confidence among Democrats rose after President Joe Biden took office, that gain has dissipated over the past year.</em></p>



<p><em>The results mark the lowest level since 1997 and the steepest decline in the past five years — mirroring a crisis of trust in several other public institutions.”</em> &#8211; <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/americans-confidence-in-the-us-military-lowest-in-2-decades-poll-finds/ar-AA1eAZjZ">Politico</a></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>“US Aims to be “Master of Space”</strong></p>



<p>As the <a href="https://space4peace.org/">Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space </a>has cautioned, “US aims to be “Master of Space,” Militarizing and Profiteering in the Sky.”</p>



<p>“The Global Network Against Weapons &amp; Nuclear Power in Space is involved in a legal action against the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to pressure them to create rules/guidelines for the launching of satellites in space. Lower Earth orbit (LEO) is becoming dangerously crowded and NASA scientists are concerned about growing space debris and likely cascading collisions in orbit (Kessler Syndrome). The US is moving quickly to grab as many of the remaining orbital parking spaces as possible in order to deny Russia, China, India and other nations from deploying satellites in LEO.</p>



<p>The Space Force today contends that it will ‘control and dominate space’ and use space tech to win wars on the Earth below.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/glob-network.png" alt="" class="wp-image-15570" width="745" height="509" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/glob-network.png 897w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/glob-network-300x205.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/glob-network-768x526.png 768w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/glob-network-600x411.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px" /></figure>



<p>Read the report here:&nbsp; https://space4peace.org/legal-action-against-fcc/</p>



<p>In addition, &#8220;A rocket launched by Elon Musk’s SpaceX last week from California may have punched a hole in the Earth’s ionosphere, a new analysis suggests. The assessment points out that the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/falcon-9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Falcon 9</a>&nbsp;rocket launched on 19 July from Vandenberg&nbsp;<a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/space">Space</a>&nbsp;Force Base in California, likely punched a hole in the ionosphere – a layer around Earth consisting of the fourth state of matter plasma, with a sea of electrically charged particles floating at about 80-650km (50-400 miles) above the surface. &#8211; <a href="https://space4peace.org/elon-musks-spacex-may-have-punched-hole-in-edge-of-space-with-rocket-launch/">Source</a></p>



<p>Like countless citizens worldwide, maybe Commander and Major are <em>sick of exploitation of the solar system&#8217;s resources, (now propelled by the demand for tech, including wireless) and sick of war.</em></p>



<p><em>Postscript: to Spirit the Jaguar, we honor your power and grace which endured above and beyond human violence and hubris. Thank you for your Infinite Light. </em></p>

Reports of harm also have accompanied the installation of towers and antennas, including 5G, in <a href="https://www.iberkshires.com/story/69680/Pittsfield-Residents-File-New-Litigation-Over-Cell-Tower.html">residential areas</a>.</p>



<p>Rather than heeding evidence of damage, the industry and regulators have continued <a href="https://washingtonspectator.org/regulators-steamroll-health-concerns-as-the-global-economy-embraces-5g/">to pursue expansion and growth</a>, devoid of premarket safety testing, monitoring or independent investigation. &nbsp;</p>



<p>On the other side of the equation, thousands of years ago, Eastern masters developed practices to harmonize themselves with the rhythms within the Cosmic Current, which they recognized as a synchronizing force in the universe.</p>



<p>Is it time to consult the ancient wisdom, along with a growing body of expertise sourced from around the world? </p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Dr. Domique Belpomme</strong></p>



<p>In March of 2015, French physician Dr. Dominique Belpomme <a href="https://electromagnetichealth.org/electromagnetic-health-blog/dominique-belpomme/">summarized</a> biological markers that have been associated with EHS/microwave illness. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="698" height="520" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Belpomme-2.png" alt="" class="wp-image-13221" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Belpomme-2.png 698w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Belpomme-2-300x223.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Belpomme-2-600x447.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px" /><figcaption><a href="https://electromagnetichealth.org/electromagnetic-health-blog/dominique-belpomme/">Dominique Belpomme – Identifying Biological Markers for EHS | electromagnetichealth.org</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>Earlier, in a <a href="https://electromagnetichealth.org/electromagnetic-health-blog/electrosensitivity-a-pre-alzheimers-state/">radio interview</a> in 2014, Dr. Belpomme surmised that “Electrosensitivy is a Pre-Alzeheimer’s state”.&nbsp; “From the graph [ ] depicting Alzheimer’s prevalence over time, we can see that the first uptick appears to have been in the period 1920-1980. This was the period when radio, radar, television, computers and other electronics were introduced. The second uptick, and a very significant one, appears to have occurred from 1980 to the present day, the period when cell phones, WiFi, WiMax, RFID, smart meters, wireless home computers and printers, iPads and a wide range of wireless RF monitoring devices and sensors, became commonplace in our lives. More research is needed as well as public education about the EHS-Pre-Alzheimer’s connection.”</p>



<p>An overview of his work is available<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Dominique-Belpomme-43505162"> here</a>, including the recent paper, <em><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/360451092_Why_electrohypersensitivity_and_related_symptoms_are_caused_by_non-ionizing_man-made_electromagnetic_fields_An_overview_and_medical_assessment">“Why electrohypersensitivity and related symptoms are caused by non-ionizing man-made electromagnetic fields: An overview and medical assessment”</a></em> by Dr. Belpomme and Philippe Irigaray.</p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Epidemiology</strong>: <strong>Neurology</strong></p>



<p>Recent epidemiology work by UK researchers Colin Pritchard and Emily Rosenorn-Lanng of Bournemouth University indicates that rates of neurological disease and death are in fact sky-rocketing, especially for older women, and that diagnoses are being made for patients in younger age groups. &nbsp;See<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/"> here</a> and <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306987719300040">here.</a></p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>The Blood Brain Barrier</strong></p>



<p>One area of concern to Western researchers is damage to the blood brain barrier.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://bioinitiative.org/conclusions/">Bio-initiative Report</a> notes<em>, &#8220;The BBB is a protective barrier that prevents the flow of toxins into sensitive brain tissue. Increased permeability of the BBB caused by cell phone RFR may result in neuronal damage. Many research studies show that very low intensity exposures to RFR can affect the blood-brain barrier (BBB) (mostly animal studies). Summing up the research, it is more probable than unlikely that non-thermal EMF from cell phones and base stations do have effects upon biology. A single 2-hr exposure to cell phone radiation can result in increased leakage of the BBB, and 50 days after exposure, neuronal damage can be seen, and at the later time point also albumin leakage is demonstrated. The levels of RFR needed to affect the BBB have been shown to be as low as 0.001 W/kg, or less than holding a mobile phone at arm’s length. The US FCC standard is 1.6 W/kg; the ICNIRP standard is 2 W/kg of energy (SAR) into brain tissue from cell/cordless phone use. Thus, BBB effects occur at about 1000 times lower RFR exposure levels than the US and ICNIRP limits allow. (Salford, 2012 – Section 10)</em></p>



<p><em>If the blood-brain barrier is vulnerable to serious and on-going damage from wireless exposures, then we should perhaps also be looking at the blood-ocular barrier (that protects the eyes), the blood-placenta barrier (that protects the developing fetus) and the blood-gut barrier (that protects proper digestion and nutrition), and the blood-testes barrier (that protects developing sperm) to see if they too can be damaged by RFR.”</em></p>



<p>As reported by the<a href="https://cellphonetaskforce.org/the-work-of-leif-salford/"> Cellular Phone Task Force,</a> currently the most active research on the BBB is being done at Lund University in Sweden by Dr. Leif Salford..</p>



<p><em>&#8220;In laboratory rats, Salford’s team has demonstrated that blood-brain barrier leakage occurs after only two minutes of exposure. Further, a single two-hour exposure to a cell phone, even at reduced power, was shown to damage or destroy up to two percent of an animal’s brain cells.</em></p>



<p><a href="http://cellphonetaskforce.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/salford4.jpg"></a><em>In other experiments in Salford’s laboratory, long term exposure of rats to a cell phone caused memory impairment, and a single six-hour exposure at extremely low power levels caused genetic damage. Exposure to a low-frequency magnetic field (low frequencies are also emitted by cell phones) caused disturbances of calcium transport in cells.</em></p>



<p><em>Salford has called the use of cell phones by human beings “the largest biological experiment ever,” and he calls the potential implications of his laboratory results “terrifying.” “Those who might normally have got Alzheimer’s dementia in old age could get it much earlier,” he said.&#8221; </em></p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Nullifying</strong> <strong>Non-thermal Effects</strong></p>



<p>A significant stumbling block to moving the needle forward on the West’s understanding of harm attributed to radiofrequency exposures is that international regulatory bodies beholden to military and industrial growth have not been willing to consider biological impacts other than those caused by increased heat.</p>



<p>Rather than actually investigating reported harm, regulators continue to promote claims of safety by<a href="https://safetechinternational.org/emf-rf-5g-tin-foil-hats-meridians-glymphatics-and-heads-that-are-not-layer-cakes/"> measuring the temperature of inanimate engineering models</a>, creating a stranglehold on the evolution of biological science and human rights protections. &nbsp;</p>

<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Chronobiology: The West Lacks a Historical Cosmological Worldview</strong></p>



<p>The West lags far behind the East in understanding <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29367188/">chronobiology</a>, for which a Noble prize was awarded in 2017. “Chronobiology is a field of biology that examines the generation of biological rhythms in various creatures and in many parts of body, and their adaptive fitness to solar- and lunar-related periodic phenomena. The synchronization of internal circadian clocks with external timing signals confers accurate phase response and tissue homeostasis.”</p>



<p>The West, unlike the East, does not possess the cosmological worldview that recognizes how the human energy field operates in harmony with the changing patterns of the electromagnetic cosmic current. </p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Acupuncture</strong></p>



<p>Acupuncture is a science dating back thousands of years. Acupuncture mapped out the patterns within the fiber optic-like network that carries light energy and chronobiology throughout the human energy field, choreographed by the angle of the sun’s rays and coordinated by the Spleen/<a href="https://www.spiritofchange.org/energy-medicine-triple-warmer-and-radiant-circuits/">Triple Warmer</a> balance. </p>



<p>When provided in a pure electromagnetic environment that manifests the symmetry and rhythms of the external cosmic current, acupuncture can harmonize the internal energy field, while re-synchronizing it with the cosmos, whether within the hours of the day or the seasons of the year.&nbsp; </p>



<p>For example, Chinese Medicine recognizes that Gall Bladder and Liver energies dominate in the spring detoxification season, while Lung and Large Intestine energies dominate in the fall. An acupuncture <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/291861168_Chronobiology_and_time-dependent_effectiveness_of_acupuncture">treatment may also vary</a> depending on the time of day that it is administered, in recognition of the health sustaining daily rhythms of exertion and rest <em>for each individual organ system. </em></p>



<p>If man-made artificial frequencies are causing interference and static that disrupts the essential relationship between human health and the natural EMF environment, acupuncture may be uniquely positioned to be able to quantify and clarify how harm is occurring. </p>



<p>Unfortunately, acupuncture may also be rendered ineffective if the treatment room is subjected to inharmonious frequencies that are bioactive.</p>



<p>This is not only an issue for an acupuncture treatment office; many individuals are reporting sleep disturbances and/or inescapable, invasive sound that they attribute to being induced by artificial frequencies infiltrating their homes.</p>



<p>For example, in testifying regarding the safety of smart meters, epidemiologist Dr. Sam Milham <a href="https://smartgridawareness.org/2017/04/09/dr-milham-testifies-smart-meters-public-health-hazard/">stated,</a> <em>“Because it is at the front end of a building’s wiring, the dirty electricity from the smart meter’s SMPS has a gateway into that building’s wiring, and also into the earth via the house ground. &nbsp;The house wiring acts as an antenna and the fields capacitively couple to the body through the air within 6 to 8 feet of the house wiring or extension cords plugged into the outlets.”</em></p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Industrial Electronic Safety</strong></p>



<p>Many holistic health practitioners have begun to speak with their patients about the fact that wireless devices in common use in the home may be contributing to a host of health issues. </p>



<p>But the combination of acupuncture treatment and an increasingly polluted office environment may mean that:</p>



<p>1. &nbsp;The office is inaccessible to a sensitive patient because the practice is located in a building laden with artificial frequencies, regardless of the skill of the practitioner.</p>



<p>2. The integrity of the treatment cannot be assured, because the acupuncturist assesses the patient’s bioenergy within the environment at the start of the treatment. The external electromagnetic environment may be altered during the treatment in a manner that causes a reaction in the patient, for example, if the utility conducts a data transmission.</p>



<p>3. Patients may find that they cannot sustain their adjustments. For example, currently, there are no protections in place to assure that sensitive individuals can be accommodated<em> in their own homes.</em></p>



<p>The electric grid has become increasingly polluted, alongside the problem of inadequately sized neutrals, Also, in the United States, unlike in Europe, utilities are allowed to use the earth as part of the return.</p>

<p>In order to protect highly sensitive electronics, for example,&nbsp;in medical offices and music recording studios that cannot be subjected to static and interference, a clean 60 hertz sine wave can be provided that does not carry any electrical pollution.</p>



<p>Should this standard apply to other environments, such as schools, acupuncture offices, and homes? </p>



<p>The human body is a sensitively tuned instrument that is far more discerning of external forces than we give it credit for, and the external electromagnetic environment is far more relevant, benevolent, synchronizing, and harmonizing that our current science realizes or dictates.</p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Acupuncture Today</strong></p>



<p>In October of 2022, Acupuncture Today published the article <a href="https://www.acupuncturetoday.com/digital/index.php?i=777&amp;a_id=34277&amp;pn=28&amp;r=t&amp;Page=28">“How I Broke My Nose on the Acupuncture Table”</a> chronicling how an invasive frequency apparently caused injury during treatment. </p>



<p>This is not a reflection of acupuncture; it is a reflection of a society that is just beginning to recover its literacy in <a href="https://edenenergymedicine.com/meridian-tracking/">energy medicine</a>, self-care, and natural healing.  </p>



<p>The mainstream Western medical model does not recognize electromagnetic pathways, including meridians and radiant circuits. </p>



<p>It does not yet recognize the normal healthy expansion and contraction of the 26 cranial bones that accompanies inhalation and exhalation, and that this essential movement can become impaired. And because the West only recently discovered the brain’s detoxifying <a href="https://lifespa.com/diet-detox/brain-detox/">glymphatic system</a>, the West has not been ready, willing, and able, yet, to study sky-rocketing rates of neurological diseases relative to the body’s sensitivity to radiofrequencies.</p>



<p>A society that is not literate in its own health-sustaining electromagnetic capacities and vulnerabilities does not notice the warning signs, including the discomfort of a brain that is compressed, not cushioned, not insulated, not detoxing, not protected by the blood brain barrier, not hydrated by an uninterrupted flow of cerebral-spinal fluid, not in synch with the nature environment, and not firing on all cylinders &#8211; due to skull compression. (Changes in <a href="http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/739524">glucose metabolism</a> have also been observed.) </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/dehydrated-brain.png" alt="" class="wp-image-13224" width="739" height="555" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/dehydrated-brain.png 393w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/dehydrated-brain-300x225.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px" /><figcaption>Proposed mechanism of protective action synthesized by<a href="https://www.yogaofenergyflow.com/"> meridian yoga</a> teacher, lightning strike survivor, and                    acupuncture patient Patricia Burke</figcaption></figure>



<p>The true implications of invisible, covert frequencies assaulting human capacities and human rights are staggering.  Reports of brain injuries to diplomats are the tip of a very large iceberg.  When electromagnetic balance is altered, continuity of consciousness and the balance of exertion and healing rest is at stake, including each individual organ field&#8217;s high and low tides.  </p>



<p>Could acupuncture’s wisdom end the battle that pits unacknowledged blockhead processing against <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/tin-foil-hats-sci-fi-history-and-why-the-ridicule-can-end-now-2/">tin foil hats</a>, so that society can move, quickly, towards safe technologies and stewardship of the cosmic current as the true basis of wellness and balance?</p>

<p>&#8220;It is a paper that raises the question of the epidemiology of tinnitus after a number of years. The great work and effort of the author confirms the necessity to approach this problem and all further research with defined methodological principles so that in the future a critical assessment of the researcher&#8217;s results will be valid and possibe .tinnitus, where I carry out a personally designed treatment, I believe that future research should be enriched with meaningful data. It is necessary to investigate the spectrum of pathological and functional health conditions (CVD, diabetes, chronic diseases, obesity, mental and cognitive health, physical activities, exposure to defined risk factors from the living and working environment, stress&#8230;).</p>



<p><strong>The essence of epidemiological research should be a combination of biological aspects and more specific aspects of the environment</strong>. As a member of the BIOGEN Citizens&#8217; Association from Belgrade, a doctor of medical sciences in the field of neuroscience, an otolaryngologist and an audiologist who has been actively dealing with tinnitus for 15 years, I believe that we have accidentally or intentionally closed our eyes to environmental factors and their negative effects on human health as well as tinnitus&#8230;&#8221;</p>

<p>In&nbsp;<strong>part 3</strong>, Paul Harding discusses an unacknowledged culprit and likely mechanism of harm; artificial internal electric fields being introduced by kilohertz frequencies riding on subcarrier waves, in both wired and wireless applications.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Is the Indies Short-Tailed Cricket Mating Call the Culprit?</strong></p>



<p>One year ago, a declassified document by U.S. military advisors was circulated indicating that the source of ’sound’ heard by injured diplomats had been identified.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/buzzfeed-news-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-12946" width="737" height="329" srcset="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/buzzfeed-news-1.png 928w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/buzzfeed-news-1-300x134.png 300w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/buzzfeed-news-1-768x343.png 768w, https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/buzzfeed-news-1-600x268.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/danvergano/havana-syndrome-jason-crickets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/danvergano/havana-syndrome-jason-crickets</a></figcaption></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>National Security Advisory Expert Opinion</strong></p>



<p>“Noises linked to mysterious injuries among US diplomats in Cuba were most likely caused by crickets — not microwave weapons — according to a declassified scientific review commissioned by the US State Department and obtained by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/danvergano/havana-syndrome-jason-crickets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BuzzFeed News</a>” “It concluded that the sounds accompanying at least eight of the original 21 Havana syndrome incidents were “most likely” caused by insects. That same scientific review also judged it “highly unlikely” that microwaves or ultrasound beams — now widely proposed by US government officials to explain the injuries — were involved in the incidents. And though the report didn’t definitively conclude what caused the injuries themselves, it found that “psychogenic” mass psychology effects may have played a role.”</p>



<p>BuzzFeedNews&nbsp;<a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/danvergano/havana-syndrome-jason-crickets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported,</a> &#8220;The team was given eight recordings of incidents linked to injuries and performed an extensive analysis of two cellphone video recordings from one patient. After extensive comparison with recordings of various insect species, they concluded with “high confidence” that the sounds in that case came from a particularly loud species of cricket, <em>Anurogryllis celerinictus</em>.”</p>



<p>“A mainstay of the national security arena for decades, JASON contains the nation’s brightest technical minds. “This is a high-powered group of expert scientists examining this question,” said former Los Alamos National Laboratory chemist Cheryl Rofer. “This appears to be a very thorough scientific analysis, the kind which wasn’t done in the National Academies of Sciences report.” [] “What is available in the report is pretty dubious about directed energy weapons,” she said, “and pretty positive about crickets.”</p>



<p>This is despite the fact that the ‘sound’ of crickets has never been causally linked to brain damage and other documented injuries.&nbsp;</p>



<p>“James Lin, a University of Illinois biomedical engineer who has argued that the microwave explanation for the injuries is very likely, told BuzzFeed News “A typical sound recorder would not be able to record the ‘microwave sound’, period,” [] by email, after reviewing the JASON report’s findings.” –&nbsp;<a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/danvergano/havana-syndrome-jason-crickets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buzzfeed News</a></p>



<p>A recording of the cricket (dominant frequency 6.9 kHz) can be heard<a href="https://orthsoc.org/sina/492a.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;here</a>. <em>(Listening to the sound recording has not been associated with reports of physical harm)</em></p>



<p>In contrast, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nationalacademies.org/news/2020/12/new-report-assesses-illnesses-among-us-government-personnel-and-their-families-at-overseas-embassies" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report by the National Academies</a>&nbsp;concluded “directed, pulsed radio frequency energy appears to be the most plausible mechanism in explaining these cases.”</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Issues with “the Cricket Narrative” – Not Just Diplomats</strong></p>



<p>Many individuals other than diplomats are experiencing&nbsp;<a href="http://emfsafetynetwork.org/smart-meters/smart-meter-health-complaints/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">adverse health effects</a>&nbsp;including invasive sound associated with both wireless and wired technologies, including&nbsp;<a href="https://sandaura.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/a-constant-non-stop-low-frequency-hum-heard-in-my-home/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the utility grid.&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;This includes the sudden, acute onset of symptoms associated with the installation of solar,&nbsp;<a href="http://emfsafetynetwork.org/smart-meters/smart-meter-health-complaints/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wireless utility meters</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.eiwellspring.org/plc/PLC_smartmeter_health.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">power-line communication</a>&nbsp;technologies. </p>



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



<p><a href="https://microwavenews.com/short-takes-archive/review-emf-and-rf-effects-flora-and-fauna" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Species other than humans</a>&nbsp;are displaying adverse impacts as the result of frequency exposures, which cannot be dismissed as mental illness and ‘nocebo.’ For example, see&nbsp;<a href="https://staging1.stetzerelectric.com/wp-content/uploads/Stetzer-testimony.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David Stetzer’s testimony</a>&nbsp;for the Michigan Attorney General regarding damage to dairy cow milk production and the economic consequences for farmers, and the 2022&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lefigaro.fr/conjoncture/tres-haute-tension-rte-condamne-a-verser-plus-de-450-000-euros-a-des-eleveurs-20220603" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">court ruling in France</a>&nbsp;where cows were also harmed, including fatalities. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>“Microwave Hearing” in Locales and Seasons Where No Indies Short Tail Crickets Are Attempting to Mate</strong></p>



<p>The cricket’s locale includes Florida and Cuba, but not other locations where invasive sounds accompanied by additional symptoms have been reported.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">&#8216;<strong>Microwave Hearing&#8217; vs. ‘Tinnitus’, No Epidemiology, No Investigation</strong></p>



<p>Unfortunately, there is no mechanism for independent investigation or data collection of reported harm to civilians, in part because the dynamic is discounted as phantom sound without a source, paranoia, or psychosis.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Smoking Gun?</strong></p>



<p>Science has already pointed to the smoking gun. </p>



<p>Historical research indicates that sub-carrier frequencies in the kilohertz range are an avenue for electric fields to travel internal to the human body, and to cause harm. </p>



<p>Paul Harding notes, &#8220;Utilizing a variety of techniques using scientific instruments I have found that symptoms found in the Naval Medical Research Institute’s 1971 research paper were directly correlated with exposure to &lt;100 kHz frequencies.</p>

<p>“<a href="https://www.totalemfsolutions.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Total EMF Solutions</a> started as survival and personal journey to feel better (actually a fight for my life). I experienced poor sleep (waking up at odd hours 3-4 am) after a smart meter was installed on my bedroom wall in the beginning of 2011. I woke up at the same times the meter would “dump data”.  The result leads to low levels of melatonin and may lead to chronic illness. Some may term it as cancer, diabetes, Parkinson’s, dementia, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, auto immune disorder, ADD/ADHD, along with other &#8216;incurable&#8217; chronic diseases. After further research I found that smart meters also produce frequencies (&lt;50 kHz) on the home wiring and electric field.  These correlate with those that are used to open the sodium and potassium ion channels.”</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Subcarrier Waves: Wireless and Wired Risks</strong></p>



<p>Paul notes, “The problem lies within the subcarrier spacing frequencies of wireless communications, and the phenomenon termed by electric companies as “dirty electricity.”</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Internal Electric Fields</strong></p>



<p>Paul explains, “The sub carrier frequencies are in the sub 100 Kilohertz range.&nbsp;This is a concern because internal electric fields can be created that are associated with cancer due to “cell proliferation, disruption of signal transduction pathways and inhibition of differentiation,” as noted back in 1999.</p>

<p>Paul noted, “If the electric field were just the clean 60 Hertz cycle, the total body impedance would be 3,000 Ohms. But as the Kilohertz frequencies rise over 1.7 kHz, the impedance drops to 500 Ohms.&nbsp;&nbsp; (See Schawn, 1968)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Paul states, &#8220;Empirical evidence has proven to me that once these frequencies are removed, the human body is able to repair. Diabetes has been a favorite of mine because these clients already monitor their blood sugar levels on a daily basis, whereas a client with leukemia may only get tested once a month.</p>



<p>I only have to rely on what other brilliant minds have found. All I do is measure and do what they have taught me. My main tool is a battery-operated oscilloscope. &#8220;</p>

<p>Sam Milham concurs with Paul&#8217;s findings that internal electric fields are being introduced into the body.</p>



<p>As part of&nbsp;<a href="http://docket.images.azcc.gov/0000178631.pdf">direct testimony</a> filed in an electric utility rate case in Arizona,&nbsp;<a href="http://sammilham.com/vitae.shtm">Samuel Milham, M.D., M.P.H.</a>&nbsp;stated: &#8220;Because it is at the front end of a building’s wiring, the dirty electricity from the smart meter’s Switch Mode Power Supply has a gateway into that building’s wiring, and also into the earth via the house ground.&nbsp; The house wiring acts as an antenna and the fields capacitively couple to the body through the air within 6 to 8 feet of the house wiring or extension cords plugged into the outlets. [] I believe that man-made EMFs, especially dirty electricity, are chronic stressors and are responsible for many of the disease patterns of electrified populations. It is my professional opinion that smart meters are a public health hazard.&#8221; &#8211;<a href="https://smartgridawareness.org/2017/04/09/dr-milham-testifies-smart-meters-public-health-hazard/"> Smart Grid Awareness</a></p>



<p>The <a href="https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19810017132">1981 contractor report</a> prepared for NASA listed symptoms associated with the introduction on internal fields into the human body. </p>



<p>&#8220;&#8221;Electromagnetic Field Interactions With The Human Body: Observed Effects and Theories The effects of nonionizing electromagnetic (EM) field interactions with the human body were reported and human related studies were collected. Nonionizing EM fields are linked to cancer in humans in three different ways: cause, means of detection, and effective treatment. Bad and benign effects are expected from nonionizing EM fields and much more knowledge is necessary to properly categorize and qualify EM field characteristics. It is concluded that knowledge of the boundary between categories, largely dependent on field intensity, is vital to proper future use of EM radiation for any purpose and the protection of the individual from hazard.&#8221;</p>

<p>Solar invertors, electric cars chargers, dimmer switches, variable speed motors, smart meters, and &#8216;energy efficient&#8217; CFL and LED lighting are sources of electrical pollution present on household wiring.  The electrical pollution can be seen and measured with an oscilloscope.  (Frequencies can also be measured on faucets and sinks because household plumbing and electrical systems are bonded.)</p>



<p>Paul Harding notes, </p>



<p>&#8220;It is becoming more difficult to remedy a person’s environment with the proliferation of power line communications, solar, cell towers, and energy efficient appliances. &nbsp;The earth is an excellent conductor and unfortunately becoming a conduit for these kilohertz frequencies. It’s not just through the air but through the ground we all share. When people walk barefoot on the tile floor in their home, or on the ground, they may be being exposed to kilohertz frequencies that are increasingly ubiquitous.&#8221;</p>



<p>“<a href="https://ewh.ieee.org/reg/7/millennium/radio/radio_differences.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The earlier transmitters were in the sub 100 kHz range</a>&nbsp;and were very powerful.”</p>



<p>“During the “Spanish Flu”&nbsp;<a href="https://manifold.umn.edu/read/the-perversity-of-things-hugo-gernsback-on-media-tinkering-and-scientifiction/section/cdcb03db-416b-4bf4-8df9-70c9b6bfb8d5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Woodrow Wilson shut down all wireless,</a>&nbsp;except for the Government’s antennas.”</p>



<p>“Interesting that a pandemic first complained about during an era of sub 100 kHz carrier waves&nbsp;<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33268001/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(1917-27)</a>&nbsp;is similar to that reported today.”&nbsp;</p>



<p>&#8220;Could it be possible that some tinnitus is a biproduct of kHz frequencies radiating from the wiring located in walls, ceilings, and sometimes floors of people’s residences?  Or from talking on a cell phone that has KHz frequencies within the subcarrier spacing?&#8221; &#8211; Paul Harding </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Crickets or Microwaves?</strong></p>



<p>Returning to the question of whether the sounds associated with Havana injuries were crickets or microwaves, Paul clarifies that the problem is the internal electric fields created by the kilohertz frequencies riding on the subcarrier waves. They could be sourced from wireless or wired technologies. </p>



<p>(Why are some individuals hearing frequencies, and not others? A 1994 research study&nbsp;<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8176050/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">“Resonance frequencies of the human skull in vivo”&nbsp;</a>noted, “it is assumed that the resonance frequencies do not significantly affect bone conducted sound. In the transcranial measurements, however, a few large antiresonances were found which may affect bone-conducted sound.&nbsp;<strong>Intersubject variations were large, probably due to individual variations in skull geometry and in mechanical parameters.</strong>&nbsp;The results were shown to be consistent with previous results obtained on dry skulls.&#8221;)</p>



<p>When JASON researchers advising the US military discovered that the mating call song of the Indies short-tailed cricket has a dominant frequency of 6.9 kHz, they reportedly told the public that it was the source of Havana Syndrome “noise,’ along with psychogenic mass psychosis.</p>



<p>Let’s be<em>&nbsp;very</em>&nbsp;cautious about redacted documents, projecting hysteria and mass psychosis, ignoring mounting <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 illness </a>and death rates, and ridiculing the pain and suffering of others, while scapegoating crickets and their mating calls. They were framed.</p>

<p>Dr. Milham&#8217;s groundbreaking research demonstrates a strong correlation between the rise of the so-called &#8216;diseases of civilization&#8217; and the historical spread of electrification. He explains how the harmonics and frequency distortions generated by appliances and microwave antennas and riding on the 60 cycle current running through household, school and office wiring can seriously impact human health. This information is especially relevant in the context of the current controversy over wireless so-called &#8216;smart meters.&#8217; Milham&#8217;s findings show that just turning the &#8216;radio off&#8217; in the &#8216;smart meters&#8217; will not solve the full problem of the human health risks posed by the devices &#8211; and already experienced and testified to by thousands of injured and outraged customers. Also contained in the poorly designed devices is at least one more source of electro-magnetic pollution; a &#8216;switching mode power supply&#8217; (SMPS). known to be a source of &#8216;dirty electricity&#8217; capable of making many people sick.</p>

<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Review: Global Pooled Prevalence of Tinnitus 14.4 Percent</strong></p>



<p>This week, MedicalXpress <a href="https://medicalxpress.com/news/2022-08-global-pooled-prevalence-tinnitus-percent.html">reports,</a> “Carlotta M. Jarach, from the Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri in Milan, Italy, and colleagues conducted an umbrella review followed by a traditional systematic review to provide frequency estimates of tinnitus worldwide. </p>



<p>&#8220;Generalizing our estimates to the whole global population, one can infer that more than 740 million people experience tinnitus and more than 120 million people worldwide have a severe form of tinnitus,&#8221; the authors write. &#8220;Such estimates place tinnitus at an order of magnitude similar to the leading causes of years lived with disability, namely, hearing loss<strong>,</strong> followed by migraine, low back pain, and neck pain.&#8221;</p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Informed Members of the Public Contacting Media About Microwave Hearing, Which is Not Tinnitus</strong></p>

About 750 million people have this perplexing condition, study says”</a> was published by USA Today, and written by Christine Fernando,&nbsp;</p>



<p>Members of the public have been contacting reporters about the question of microwave hearing sourced from an external exposure vs. tinnitus, including <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/tinnitus-and-microwave-hearing-have-you-heard/">Sean Carney</a> of Safe Tech International, and <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/tinnitus-revisited-when-safety-testing-is-unreal/">Michele Hertz</a> of NYSUMA.</p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Marilynne Martin’s Response to Reporter Christine Fernando</strong></p>



<p>Marilynne Martin, a leader in the Florida smart meter opposition movement, also contacted the USA Today reporter.</p>



<p><em>Ms. Fernando,</em></p>



<p><em>Is it tinnitus or is it microwave hearing? I would suggest you check out Frey&#8217;s work from the 1950&#8217;s and 1960&#8217;s. Microwave hearing is also known as the Frey effect. Servicemen complained of these noises in their ears after radar was put in on the bases.</em></p>



<p><em>But many do not know that the RF radiation guidelines approved by the FCC as well as ICNIRP (internationally) do not protect us from microwave hearing. This came up in the early 1990&#8217;s when the guidelines were being reviewed. Apparently the IEEE, engineers, didn&#8217;t think it was deleterious. See 1993 comment letter from the EPA, pdf page 9.</em></p>

<p>SOURCE: EPA Letter from Margo Ong (EPA) to the FCC on FCC 93-142 Environmental Effects of Radiofrequency 1993</p>



<p><em>In 2017, at an ITU conference in Poland, ICNIRP representative said this:</em></p>



<p><em>“So what evidence do we have of harm? Well unfortunately, curiously, we have still the effects of elevated temperature. We knew this very early on and we still know that. There is this phenomenon of microwave hearing, this hissing and popping sound that you can sometimes hear with pulsed fields. And we know at the lower end of the RF frequencies you can have actually stimulation of nerves and muscles. And also you can have very high fields electroporation. So there, as far as we are concerned, are the four intraction mechanisms that we have to deal with. Now I am going to take them almost in reverse order and do the last of those three first because we don’t think we are actually going to base the guidelines on them.&nbsp;<strong>We have talked about guidelines, we have already talked about microwave hearing in our guidelines before, we now actually feel that having a hissing or popping sound actually does require very very quiet conditions to hear it and is clearly a very localized thermal effect. As far as we can tell it is the fields are absorbed by tissues close to or in the inner ear and it sets up a pressure wave which is interpreted by the brain as actually being a sound.&nbsp;So again you hear this hissing clicking popping noise. But what we don’t consider is its harmful. So we are not going to have any specific restrictions based upon the avoidance of that noise.”</strong>&nbsp;</em></p>

<p><em>So there you have it. Load the environment with all kinds of RF and all kinds of different frequencies, closer and closer to humans. And determine it is not harmful. I could not imagine living the rest of my life with noises in my ear. Some people do and it drives them mad.</em></p>



<p><em>Another good one to research is &#8220;time averaging&#8221;. They say all this crap is &#8220;low powered&#8221; but what they don&#8217;t tell you is they time average things. So you get VERY POWERFUL and very short (fractions of a second) pulses but they time average it and say it is low.</em></p>

<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>The ICNIRP Cartel Determines Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines</strong></p>



<p>As <a href="https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/reveh-2022-0037/html">researched</a> by Else K. Nordhagen and Einar Flydal, “In March 2020, ICNIRP (the International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) published a set of guidelines for limiting exposure to electromagnetic fields (100 kHz to 300 GHz).</p>



<p>&nbsp;ICNIRP claims this publication’s view on EMF and health, a view usually termed <strong>“the thermal-only paradigm”</strong>, is consistent with current scientific understanding.</p>



<p>We investigated the literature referenced in ICNIRP 2020 to assess if the variation in authors and research groups behind it meets the fundamental requirement of constituting a broad scientific base and thus a view consistent with current scientific understanding, a requirement that such an important set of guidelines is expected to satisfy. To assess if this requirement has been met, we investigated the span of authors and research groups of the referenced literature of the ICNIRP 2020 Guidelines and annexes.</p>



<p>Our analysis shows that ICNIRP 2020 itself, and in practice all its referenced supporting literature stem from a network of co-authors <strong>with just 17 researchers at its core, most of them affiliated with ICNIRP and/or the IEEE, and some of them being ICNIRP 2020 authors themselves.</strong></p>



<p>Moreover, literature reviews presented by ICNIRP 2020 as being from independent committees, are in fact products of this same informal network of collaborating authors, all committees having ICNIRP 2020 authors as members.</p>



<p>This shows that the ICNIRP 2020 Guidelines fail to meet fundamental scientific quality requirements and are therefore not suited as the basis on which to set RF EMF exposure limits for the protection of human health<strong>. </strong>With its thermal-only view, ICNIRP contrasts with the majority of research findings, and would therefore need a particularly solid scientific foundation. Our analysis demonstrates the contrary to be the case. Hence, the ICNIRP 2020 Guidelines cannot offer a basis for good governance.” See <a href="https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/reveh-2022-0037/html">Self-Referencing Authorships Behind The ICNIRP 2020 Radiation Protection Guidelines</a></p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>&#8216;Tinnitus Treatment Breakthrough Achieved Using Smartphones to Rewire the Brain’</strong></p>



<p>In other news, Tweaktown reported, <a href="https://www.tweaktown.com/news/87925/tinnitus-treatment-breakthrough-achieved-using-smartphones/index.html">“Tinnitus Treatment Breakthrough Achieved Using Smartphones.”</a> ”Tinnitus, the sound of constant ringing or other noises in your ear, has been markedly improved by a new polytherapeutic approach using smartphones.”</p>



<p>&#8220;What this therapy does is essentially <strong>rewire the brain</strong> in a way that de-emphasizes the sound of the tinnitus to a background noise that has no meaning or relevance to the listener,&#8221; continued Dr. Searchfield.&#8221;</p>



<p>If a medical treatment involving a smart phone can re-wire the brain to determine what does and does not have meaning, all assumptions about the “thermal effect” being the only mechanism of action/harm are dead wrong.</p>



<p>The study in question is <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2022.958730/full">“A randomized single-blind controlled trial of a prototype digital polytherapeutic for tinnitus.”</a></p>



<p>One of the two authors “is a founder and scientific officer for TrueSilence a Spinout company of the University of Auckland and has a financial interest in TrueSilence.”</p>



<p>“The digital therapeutic consisted of an app for iPhone or Android smartphone, Bluetooth bone conduction headphones, neck pillow speaker, and a cloud-based clinician dashboard to enable messaging and app personalization. The control app was a popular self-help passive sound therapy app called White Noise Lite (WN). The primary outcome measure was clinically meaningful change in Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) between baseline and 12 weeks of therapy.”</p>



<p>“Tinnitus is experienced to some degree by 5–43% of the population depending on definition and the population sampled &nbsp;[ ] <strong>This false perception of sound</strong> can be annoying and can result in, or exacerbate, sleep, concentration, anxiety/depression, and hearing problems [ ] Understanding of tinnitus pathophysiology continues to evolve but in general terms, tinnitus can result from disordered or reorganized activity within and across several neural networks due to peripheral auditory deafferentation or head injury [ ]. Tinnitus magnitude is a complex interaction between detection of the signal, presence of external sound, and influences of attention, memory and emotion [ ] Psychosocial factors including personality and environment affect the expression and degree of tinnitus severity [ ] <strong>Tinnitus has unusual perceptual features; it is an unreal or phantom perception</strong> which may explain its salience and why distress networks are recruited [ ] “</p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>A Few Things Inquiring Minds Want to Hold in Their Heads</strong></p>



<p>Microwave hearing is not tinnitus from an unknown source, or phantom sound. The extent to which reports of tinnitus and accompanying symptoms would be reduced if the incidence of microwave hearing was investigated and addressed is unknown.</p>



<p>“Polytherapeutic Treatments” that include the use of a smartphone may or may not require the use of a smartphone, and might also be successful using hard wired connections, especially where earphones are in use. The smartphone may or may not actually be responsible for the success of the polytherapeutic treatment. Smartphone use should not be conflated with internet access and connectivity.</p>



<p>Humanity has a pattern, for example, with medications and agriculture, of throwing more of the same (more meds, more chemicals) at challenges, instead of addressing causes or considering long term effects. The long-term effects of “Bluetooth bone conduction headphones” are not known.</p>



<p><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/">Deaths due to neurological illnesses</a> are skyrocketing. Regarding the promise of a product “rewiring the brain,” modern society seemingly does not know how to protect the brain, or the blood brain barrier. Alan Frey’s research on the blood brain barrier was halted. The military efforts to replicate his work were <a href="https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/opinion-cell-phone-health-risk-40449">fraudulent</a>. Speaking of the military, what about  Havana Syndrome? &nbsp;</p>



<p>In <a href="https://www.alphabetvsgoddess.com/">“the Alphabet vs .the Gooddess”</a> Leonard Shlain proposed that the process of learning alphabetic literacy rewired the human brain, with profound consequences for culture.</p>



<p>Was it the phone that treated the tinnitus? If a smartphone can re-wire a brain in a medical application, a smartphone could begin to alter the values and consciousness of humanity.</p>



<p>Oh, wait, we’re already there. </p>



<p>Let&#8217;s proceed with a clear distinction between phantom sound and invasive microwave frequencies. and more opinions about whether or not microwave hearing hurts &#8211; beyond seventeen collaborators blocking the evolution of safety, science, medicine, environmental stewardship, and human rights. </p>
