Cancer Kickin’ Warrior: Faster is not always safer

Dear Warriors,

When you have an X-ray, no matter what part of your body, the technician always covers you with a lead apron. This is to minimize the amount of radiation exposure. Too much radiation could be deadly.

For example, The Health Science Academy states the amount of radiation that the microwave oven produces when heating food is actually absorbed by the water molecules in the food, but they advise to set the timer and walk away, because the amount of radiation in microwaves is stronger than the radiation received from watching television. Yes, you heard me right, television gives off radiation! The FDA warns about radiation injuries caused by faulty microwaves, such as the door not being able to close fully or radiation leaking through gaps in the microwave seals.

So if you are not yet glowing in the dark because you aren’t exposed to enough radiation, not to worry. We have 5G! 5G is short for “5th generation,” the next evolution of wireless networks. Every 10 years, a new standard of wireless communication is released by Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance. Right now most mobile devices are working on 4G speed. 5G will make transmitting data 100 times faster. This is done through EMF (electromagnetic field) that consists of protons (light particles) that travel in wave-like patterns at the speed of light.

Since we are living in an age of fast things i.e, fast cars, email, electronic banking, etc., this sounds great. But not so fast! Remember I told you about the dangers of too much radiation? Well, look at the dangers of 5G.

Thousands of studies link low-level wireless radio frequency radiation exposures to a long list of adverse biological effects, including: DNA single and double strand breaks; oxidative damage; disruption of cell metabolism; increased blood brain barrier permeability; melatonin reduction; disruption to brain glucose metabolism; and generation of stress proteins.

In 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified radio frequency radiation as a possible 2B carcinogen. More recently the $25 million National Toxicology Program concluded that radio frequency radiation of the type currently used by cell phones can cause cancer.

According to efmacademy.com, there are ways to protect yourself and your home from 5G radiation exposure. They are: Don’t keep your phone with you at night, especially under your pillow or on your night stand. When talking on a cell phone remove it from your ear and use the speaker. Keep your phone off your body. Whether you put it in your pocket or bra, it will be much safer to put it in a backpack, purse or briefcase. Keep the router out of rooms where you sleep or spend the most time.

As far as your home is concerned, 5G will require the use of new bandwidths not currently used by 4G LTE. Although these frequencies provide the speed this new network wants, they are extremely poor at traveling long distances or penetrating physical barriers like homes, trees, buildings, mountains, etc.

So, whereas our current network works mostly off large cell towers spaced fairly far apart, 5G will utilize hundreds of thousands of small, extremely powerful, small-site relays and towers. So, instead of a large structure, you’ll see small devices on street signs, telephone poles, sides of buildings, and just about anywhere else they can get away with putting them.

One of the best things we can do to protect our homes from 5G, or just EMF radiation in general, is to try to be wise about which devices we are bringing into our homes. Do you really need a smart-fridge, or a smart-microwave, or a smart-toaster?

One other item to be aware of is 5G smart meters. Smart meters are a hot topic when it comes to the dangers of EMF radiation. This is mostly because many people don’t have a choice as to whether they are installed, and they almost certainly pose a health risk. If you don’t already know, smart meters are the newer version of the old analog utility meters. Smart meters communicate remotely with the utility company, using cellular networks primarily. Not only does this relay data about your usage to the companies, but also allows them to control your gas, electricity, or water, remotely. In doing so, it emits a large amount of EMF radiation into your home.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., wrote to the Federal Communications Commission’s Brendan Carr seeking information on how his agency has determined 5G technology is safe (good luck with that one). He states: “We need to know whether the radio frequencies can cause cancer.”

Hey, Warriors, I have an idea — with all this dangerous radiation floating around, I have a cheaper and safer way to protect yourself from 5G radiation exposure: wrap yourself from head to toe in aluminum foil!

No, seriously, folks, my point is, faster is not safer. I know old schoolers like myself get it, but the young folks think they are untouchable. I was once talking to a friend of mine about causes of cancer like, the food we eat and the environment, not factoring in the dangers of these high speed networks. So try your best to educate young people. They are not immune to any of the health risks that come with using 5G!
