Has your community been affected by the erection of or an application to erect a cell mast?If it hasn’t, judging by the flood of applications by cell companies to erect cell masts in residential areas, your community will be affected sooner rather than later.
With 5G on the horizon, there will be a massive rollout of cell mast infrastructure, and many more communities will be affected. It is an onslaught.
Having just been through the public participation process for a cell mast application in my neighbourhood, I have first-hand experience of how flawed the process is. The odds are stacked against citizens trying to challenge such applications. It also appears that corrupt activity is at play.
I have followed many objections by other communities to cell mast applications. A few have been successfully fought off but most are eventually passed.
If cell companies don’t succeed with such an application, they simply try again at a later date. Cellphone companies have vast resources, and most cases that are challenged are dragged out by the cell companies in the legal system until the affected residents are too exhausted to continue the fight or they have run out of money.
I believe the only way we citizens will put a stop to this once and for all is by challenging the constitutionality of erecting cell masts in residential areas. We have a much-vaunted Bill of Rights that enshrines the right to a safe environment. Let’s put this to the test and see if our rights are indeed protected by our constitution.
To do this, we need to fight smart. We need to get organised and fight cell companies as one group. If we continue as we are in silos, all communities fighting the applications will be picked off one by one by cell companies and they’ll force their masts into our living spaces.
We need to create a “war chest” that can be used by any community fighting an application for a cell mast in their area. This can be funded by donations, fund-raisers, crowdfunding and with the assistance of interested NGOs.
Cell companies must be made aware that they will be made to go to court for each application and that this will eat into their profits. If this group becomes too big to be ignored, we will be able to influence policy decisions and even interrogate political parties about their cell technology policies before voting for them. We could even organise to port from a particular cell company en masse if they continue to roll out their infrastructure at the expense of citizens.
In all the cell mast applications that I have seen, the most common objection was on health grounds. Other frequently raised objections were environmental degradation, reduction in property values and impairment of views.
On the health issue, the cell companies simply say they follow the World Health Organization guidelines. The WHO relies on the International Commission on Non-ionising Radiation to investigate the health effects of low-level electromagnetic fields, which cell masts/phones (among other devices) emit.
The problem with this is that the commission is compromised and is an industry-loyal NGO that is seemingly answerable to no one. There are serious conflicts of interest, and its members seem more concerned about shielding cell companies from criticism than with the negative health effects of this technology. As one example, this is a quote by the head of the commission, Dr Emile van Deventer, in 2007: “Industry is not interested in your health, they want the network to work properly.”
They simply fob off any criticism of the industry and ignore the latest research. This allows the WHO to glibly claim “there is no research that proves any known adverse health effect”, without producing a shred of evidence for this astounding claim.
Let’s call this what it is – a blatant lie. This mantra is repeated by cell companies and municipalities to squash any health concerns raised. (The City of Cape Town has even stated it would no longer consider any objections based on health risks.) In fact, the same modus operandi has been used by the oil, tobacco, GMO, pharmaceutical and other industries.
They introduce scientific uncertainty by creating the illusion that there’s doubt about prevailing research. They never have to be proved right – they have only to maintain the illusion. This is despite scientists doing the research all agreeing there is a serious concern. This is fraudulent and borders on criminal negligence.
Many concerned scientists have tried to approach both the WHO and the commission to impress upon them the dangers of the mass rollout of cell technology infrastructure and that the information the WHO is disseminating stands in stark contrast to the research results. There is ample evidence that radio-frequency radiation (RF) causes an increase in the risk of cancer, infertility, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders (like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s), electrohypersensitivity, DNA changes, heart disease, immune system deficiency, and more.
Many long-term studies on the effect of RF on humans are coming to completion and the results are being published. Each new result seems to be more damning than the last.
We can no longer rely on the information from the commission alone to formulate our health or cell infrastructure policy. We need to force a review of all the available research from all sources and make an informed decision on the dangers (or not) of low-level electromagnetic fields generated by cell masts.
If there are no health risks, as cell companies claim, then surely they would welcome such a review, as it would vindicate their stance? In fact, they should even be willing to fund such a review. They won’t because they know full well that there are serious health risks associated with the technology.
As proof of this, British Telecom warned in its 2017 annual report: “We cannot provide absolute assurance that research in the future won’t establish links between radio frequency emissions and health risks.” What it is really saying is: “We can’t hide the truth forever.”
We need to challenge the cell mast policy in the Constitutional Court. We need to ask the court for the following relief:
* An order that a commission of inquiry be set up to review all research relating to the health risks of cell mast emissions. The results of the inquiry must be used to formulate cell mast infrastructure policy.
* An order for a moratorium on the rollout of cell mast infrastructure until the commission of inquiry has published its findings.
* An order that no cell masts may be erected in residential areas, especially taking into account the most vulnerable citizens – children and the aged. No cell masts near crèches, schools or old-age homes.
* An order that anyone who “hosts” a cell mast on their property will be held jointly liable for all medical claims that arise from exposure to cell mast emissions.
* An order that a commission of inquiry or a panel of experts must meet every two years to review new science relating to cell masts and to update all related policies accordingly.
* An order that cell masts in residential areas must have 50% + 1 community support.
* An order that all cell masts that fall foul of the new guidelines be removed.
If you share my concerns about the massive rollout of cell mast infrastructure without heeding the available and alarming health risks associated with that, then please visit our website at www.naacm.co.za and register your details.
The plan is to create a one-stop shop where objectors can find the necessary information for their challenge. This will be used as a contact list for all further updates on this campaign.

A Mississauga mother says she is protesting the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (DPCDSB) so her son can go to school.
Paulette Rende’s goal is to raise awareness about electro-hypersensitivity (otherwise known as Wi-Fi injury) and the need for digital device safety in Ontario schools.
“It’s a bigger problem than people realize,” said Rende.
Her son Alex, 17, a student at St. Paul’s Secondary School in Mississauga, suffers from electro-hypersensitivity. She says he has a “broad spectrum of symptoms,” including: headaches, congestion, heart palpitations, anxiety and nausea.
“To the detriment of students and teachers, the provincial government has been that ostrich with its head in the sand, ignoring the glaring gaps in health and safety guidelines,” said Rende in a release.
According to Women’s College Hospital (WCH), electro-hypersensitivity is a condition that develops when people are exposed to non-ionizing radiation from electromagnetic fields, such as high-energy radio waves and microwaves.
Common sources include cellphones, baby monitors, cell towers, plasma televisions and Wi-Fi, says WCH. The hospital operates an Environmental Health Clinic (EHC), which is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, for people with chronic complex environmentally-linked conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity and electromagnetic-hypersensitivity
Rende is hoping a change in provincial government will lead to changes in school policy. She says other school boards across the province are having the same issues with Wi-Fi injury.
“I’m here (protesting) at a local level,” Rende adds.
“We understand and are sensitive to the safety concerns some community members have regarding the use of wireless technology (Wi-Fi) in schools,” Bruce Campbell, the school board’s manager of communications and community relations, said in an email.
“The health and safety of our students and staff is paramount to us. As with all public health issues, we take direction from our public health agencies,” he added
The board began Wi-Fi installations in late 2012, and since then have conducted yearly tests to measure radio frequencies using Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 standard, as a guide, said Campbell.
Currently, he said, tests indicate that the board’s schools are measuring significantly less than one per cent of the minimum standard defined by Health Canada. This is 99.99 per cent safer than Health Canada’s defined minimum standard.
Campbell said the board will “continue to rely on the expertise and standards of organizations like Health Canada, Peel Public Health and Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Health to guide our use of technology, from a health perspective, in our schools.
“We are well aware of the specific concerns of this parent and have offered and/or provided numerous accommodations to try to meet the needs of the family,” Campbell said.
“These have included online courses, and having a teacher come to the home. We continue to reach out to them and are currently in the process of trying to set up a meeting to review the results of environmental testing carried out specifically in relation to their concerns at the school.”

EMF Inspection, Assessments and Remediation Solutions
There has been increasing concern about the presence of dangerous levels of electromagnetic fields (EMF), especially in residential properties. With the increasing density of housing units (densely packed condominiums) in urban areas, the multiplication of EMF sources (electrical transformers, cell-phone towers, electrical transmission lines) and the plethora of household electrical devices (TVs, computers, wireless home networks) the levels of EMF that people regularly come into contact with has greatly increased. There is also concern that the explosion in the use of cell phones is adding to this growth.
Most disturbing of all is the thought that these fields cause increased levels of cancer. There have been many news reports about this issue, dove-tailing with a large number of governmental and international health studies (EPA, World Health Organization, UK Sage Study).

How would you like this ‘mini’ cell tower parked outside your front door or your bedroom window or on a pole in your backyard? And you cannot have it removed, thanks to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission!
That little monster will pump out 5G wireless networks at speeds consumers literally may die for, as the amount of microwaves 5G will be pumping out will be ‘astronomical’—anything in the ranges from 6 GHz to 100 GHz and higher!
However, 5 G applications will require unlocking of new spectrum bands in higher frequency ranges above 6 GHz to 100 GHz and beyond, utilizing submillimeter and millimeter waves– to allow ultra-high rates of data to be transmitted in the same amount of time as compared with previous deployments of microwave radiation. [1]
Consumers, high tech addicts and microwave tech aficionados—here’s something you probably don’t know nor care to know about right now other than your apparent ‘need’ for faster downloads, but you had better become acquainted with since it definitely will impact your life—maybe more dramatically than your not having high-speed Wi-Fi!
Consumers need to understand and also factor into their consciousness certain reproducible facts about microwave technologies, especially that microwaves are not natural energies produced by Nature; they are man-made human-tissue-debilitating energy waves that impact all bodily functions and tissues, whether you believe that or not, since any type of energy produces effects!
Currently, I am working on producing an ‘anthology-like’ article containing verified factual research regarding microwave damage to human physiology at much lower levels of exposures than 5G, which may astound readers. It will be quite a resource to have, so look for it.
The KEY issue to understand regarding microwaves is the velocity at which they oscillate per second!
Some background information
The “G’s” refer to the latest generations of microwave technology, most of which operate in the Gigahertz (GHz) ranges. As we read above, 5G will operate in the 6 GHz to 100 GHz – and above – ranges!
Now, here’s what consumers really need to understand, process and accept about high tech 5G Wi-Fi:
One Gigahertz (GHz) is one billion oscillations per second!
Now do some math and see if your calculator has enough capacity to give you an answer. Multiply 6 GHz by one billion; what do you get as oscillations per second? Multiply 100 GHz by one billion and what do you get?
High Tech Consumers, the human body never has been subjected to such tremendous microwave velocities per second! The U.S. military is using millimeter waves (MMWs) range technology, as it is called, as their “war weapons.”
Research and studies published in respectable peer review journals indicate grave concerns for what can happen at DNA and cellular levels, especially to the human brain because of its water/fat content and human eyeballs, which have a similar tissue consistency as the human brain!
Currently, ocular melanomas [2] are occurring in college students, which has medicine stumped [3] as to why such an ‘anomaly’ is happening.
Well, it probably is happening because colleges and school premises often are dotted with cell towers and other high tech antenna arrays (paying ‘nice’ monthly rental fees), which impact human tissue, especially in the young.
Medical ‘science’ seemingly refuses to accept non-thermal radiation damage due to consensus BS science put out by various microwave industry trade associations who basically act like “tails wagging dogs” with regard to non-thermal radiation adverse health effects. They claim there is no such thing as “non-thermal radiation adverse health effects”!
Well, I suggest doubters go back to the research the microwave industry funded and performed wherein they found 32% of their research studies confirmed non-thermal radiation adverse health effects, and still the trade associations will not accept it. Why? Because admitting that would require such inordinately expensive safeguards be put into place, the cell phone industry and other microwave industry suppliers and operators could not afford them and probably would be put out of business!
Here is some information about Dr. Henry Lai’s [PhD] work, which ought to get high tech consumers thinking about just how important it is to have high-speed 5G Wi-Fi at work, in your home and at the nearest café.
Right now as consumers read this article, they are not aware of all the Gigahertz oscillations they constantly are being exposed to from any wearable tech, cell phones, AMI Smart Meters, LAN or HAN networks, or any products or services that send and/or receive voice, data, photos, etc.
However, I’d like to bring to your attention Verizon has done an about face with regard to installing 5G “small cell towers” in Sebastopol, California.
The EMF Safety Network sent a 10-page letter to the Sebastopol Planning Commission which, if you need reputable science regarding small cell towers you should print and keep, apparently made the difference in Verizon’s decision. Personally, I like the EMF’s description of a small cell tower as “a junk yard on a pole.”
Loss of property value due to having one of those junk yards outside, or on your property, is something everyone needs to consider seriously, i.e., is faster Wi-Fi downloads worth the loss of thousands of dollars on your home’s value?
Check out EMF’s comments in “Peer-reviewed published science shows wireless radiation harms public health” and “Proximity to RFR antennas is harmful.” Humans are not alone in the damage; read how RFRs damage Nature!
EMF’s Conclusion in its letter to the planning commission stated,
The telecommunication industry’s unbounded profit motive should never outweigh the safety and well being of the public and our environment! Communications are safer using wired and corded connections.
However, that may not be what the microwave industries want as it probably will cost them megabucks for more infrastructure, something 5G small cell towers greatly reduce in costs.

Since the controversial introduction of smart meters in the City of Johannesburg in 2015, many residents have complained of incorrect readings and meters running, even when the power is out.
But that said, could there be a darker side to these ‘convenient’ meters?
According to many, including experts and concern groups, the answer is “Yes”.
According to EMF Safety Network’s website, “Military studies show [that] pulsed radio frequency, which leads to radio frequency radiation (RFR), which is radiated by certain devices including smart meters, can cause serious health problems, including tinnitus, memory loss and seizures. Thousands of studies link biological effects to RFR exposure, including increased cancer risk, damage to the nervous system, adverse reproductive effects, DNA damage, and more. The top public health official in Santa Cruz County California prepared a report, confirming smart meters pose a health risk”.
Another expert, Dr David Carpenter, a graduate of Harvard Medical School and a physician who has worked in the area of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and public health for over 18 years, has also warned utility companies that are forcing smart meters down the throats of their customers.
“Carpenter adamantly insists that there is no evidence whatsoever that smart meters are in any way safe for human beings. He goes on to say that there is, in fact, ample evidence that demonstrates ‘convincingly and consistently’ that exposure to radio frequency radiation (RFR) at elevated levels for long periods of time increases the risk of cancer, damages the nervous system, and adversely affects the reproductive organs”, according to TheHealthyHomeEconomist.com

Our addiction to 24*7 hyper connectivity and the age of “smart”
Advent of IOT, M2M and Sensor networks
Rise of electronic consumerism
EMF radiation and EMF fields are key risks to biological and computing systems. As a generation, we have a million times higher exposure to EMF radiation compared to our parents or grandparents. Our cellphones, WiFi and microwaves are so convenient that they are actually inconvenient. Our bodies fail to evolve so quickly as the multiplication in EMF radiation fields around us. This has resulted in aggravated occurrences of critical ailments such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Cancer, Infertility and Autism.
Ironically, EMF radiation has a remarkably “unproven” relationship with all these ailments. These figures point towards a global epidemic on the rise. The epidemiological evidence linking EMF radiation to these health problems is not fully formed and may take many more decades to form. However, good sense will tell you it is better to be safe than sorry.
Wireless technology has become an integral part of human life. The exponential boom in fast and ubiquitous internet and digital media has led to a steep surge in installation of cellular base stations in residential colonies. Additionally, Wi-Fi routers have also become a common device in every office, home or public place.These wireless technologies and networks lead to increased exposure of Electromagnetic field on human health and environment.
Cell phones, base stations and other wireless devices emit radio frequency waves which are non- ionizing radiation that can easily be absorbed by the tissues of human body. Over the time, the mobile minutes of usage both in terms of voice calls and data has increased which results in excessive emission of EMF. The continuous low level exposure from these wireless networks causes severe health issues related to migraine, anxiety, depression and brain tumour, etc.
According to the reports of International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a part of World Health Organization, radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation from cellular base stations, repeaters and WIFIs and excessive use of cell phones are possibly carcinogenic to humans. The EMF from these terminals can lead to increased risk of cancerous – brain tumour. The All India Institute of Management studies (AIIMS) in a report in March 2017, established a causal relationship between 45 minutes of daily phone call time (with the receiver next to the ear) can lead to 33% increase in risk of brain tumour on a decadal term.
Simultaneously, several international researchers are conducting various studies to classify EMF from wireless terminals as carcinogenic. Moreover, their existing studies state that the impact of microwave radiation is more adverse on pregnant women, their foetus and children. Since the body and skull of children are relatively smaller than adults, they are more absorbent to EMF and tissue damage. They have also found several indirect links between Electromagnetic field exposure and childhood leukaemia.
However in this fast evolving world, one cannot consider this as a call to throw off their mobile phones and Wi-Fi routers. But there are adequate measures that can be taken to reduce the impact EMF on body tissues. It is important to make a right choice between a convenient lifestyle and a healthy mind and body for a better life.
The most effective ways to avoid high EMF exposure is to switch off the Wi-Fi routers and maintain adequate distance from all the terminals that emit harmful radiation waves. Even a simple act of using a headphone while talking on mobile phone can be developed as a habit in order to reduce the exposure of radiation field by as much as 50% depending upon the usage of the phone in a day.
Similarly, not keeping electronic appliances and devices such as inverters, Wi-Fi routers and stabilizers in or close to the bedroom area cuts down the radiation exposure and gives a better sleep. These small steps can form the strong base for having a healthy mind and long life.
No longer can it be ignored that manmade electromagnetic radiation poses innumerable risks to human health
The Ubiquity of Electrosmog
Concerns about electromagnetic fields (EMF) are branded pseudoscientific conspiracy theories and relegated to the realm of tin-hat wearing quackery. However, a recent publication in the peer-reviewed journal Immunologic Research entitled “Electrosmog and Autoimmune Disease,” sheds new light on the validity of concerns about this so-called electrosmog with which we are constantly inundated.
Although we encounter natural microwave electromagnetic radiation in the form of cosmic radiation from outer space, the aurora borealis, and thunderstorms, the vast majority of electrosmog that we encounter is largely manmade (1). These atmospheric phenomena, however, emit electromagnetic radiation at lower radio frequencies and are negligibly weak in comparison to manmade sources, which have increased exponentially due to the emergence of television, cellular phone technologies, and WiFI, all of which utilize microwave frequency bands (1).
According to researchers Marshall and Heil (2017), for instance, “The recent release of WiGig and anti-collision vehicle radars in the 60 GHz region embody a 1000-fold increase in frequency, and photon energy, over the exposures mankind experienced up until the 1950s” (1).
How Electrosmog Interfaces with the Bioelectromagnetic Body
It is intuitive that electrosmog would interact with human biology, since human physiology operates in part via electromagnetic fields. Apart from physical information superhighways such as the blood, nervous, and lymphatic systems, the body uses electromagnetic forms of energy transmission and communication which are several orders of magnitude faster than chemical diffusion (2).
Called biophotonic emission (BPE), these quanta of electromagnetic energy have a visibility one thousand times lower than the sensitivity of our naked eye and are quintessential to cellular metabolism and to the powering of our energy-intensive nervous and immune systems (3). Harbored within our genetic material, biophotonsserve as a mode of instantaneous communication from one body part to another and to the extraneous world (4) and their emission is influenced by our global state of health (5). Research even suggests that mental intention and the fabric of our consciousnessis mediated by these quantum of light, which operate as highly coherent frequencies and generate an ordered flux of photons (4).
Thus, both the stuff of consciousness and the functioning of our cellular energetics is premised upon electromagnetism, which may be susceptible to distortion by electrosmog. Curtis and Hurtak describe the electromagnetic body as both “an entire body distinct from the chemical body that interpenetrates it” and “a light circulatory system operating on an energetic level in a markedly different manner from that of its molecular counterparts” (2). That there is “an incredible amount of activity at levels of magnification or scale that span more than two-thirds of the 73 known octaves of the electromagnetic spectrum” (6) in the human body is emblematic of our vulnerability to electromagnetic disturbances.
Potential Immune Disturbances due to Electrosmog Exposure
Although current public health laws are predicated on effects of short-term exposure, research suggests that dosage and repetitive exposures likely influence health risk of electrosmog (7). Two thirds of studies examined report ecological effects of electromagnetic radiation, and researchers state that, “current evidence indicates that chronic exposure to electromagnetic radiation, at levels that are found in the environment, may particularly affect the immune, nervous, cardiovascular and reproductive systems” (7).
Although the conventional mantra is that no harm is incurred from low-energy radio waves, low-level exposures to ionizing radiation are known to manifest profound effects upon human physiology (1). Ionizing radiation exposure, which occurs secondary to nuclear energy accidents, for example, produces immunosuppression, so much so that some scientists have even suggested radon exposure as a therapeutic treatment for rheumatoid arthritis due to its inhibition of inflammatory immune messengers such as the adipokine visfatin (8).
There is, however, often a substantial lag time between exposure and the materialization of symptomatology (1). The detriment to immune defense “often does not become apparent until the body catastrophically fails to overcome an acute challenge” (1). In addition, new science is overturning the previous assumption that immunosuppressive effects are exclusive to ionizing radiation exposure.
A research group headed by Lushinov, for example, found that repeated exposures to low-level non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation impaired the immune response in mice, negatively influencing immunogenesis, or the ability of the immune response to respond to an immune-provocating antigenic substance (9). The exposure to low-intensity electromagnetic radiation negatively influenced thymic and splenic cellularity, causing a statistically significant decrease in the immune cells generated by these lymphoid organs (9). The immunocompetence of the Aegean wall lizard was also significantly reduced upon daily exposure to radiofrequency resembling the amount of electrosmog emitted from cordless phones (10).
Moreover, Gapeev and colleagues (2006) elucidated that exposure to low-intensity non-ionizing electromagnetic waves exerted equivalent immunosuppressive effects to a single dose of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) diclofenac (11). In another experiment, exposure to low-intensity electromagnetic radiation reduce the footpad edema and local hyperthermia, also known as swelling and heat, that accompanied injection of zymosan, an agent that induces acute inflammation (12). This constitutes evidence that electrosmog exposure may impair the normal immune response to potential threats.
Human Proteins are Responsive to Electromagnetic Waves
Biomolecules, which are constantly undergoing molecular collisions and interacting on the scale of picoseconds, are subject to forces exerted by incident electromagnetic fields (1). According to researchers Marshall and Heil, “It seems likely that signals a million times lower than those currently being used in research may be sufficient to elicit a tangible change in human biology” (1).
