Many that are regular readers to this blog remember how just over a year ago I got involved with the local community in this city that I live in, in their fight against the local Telecommunications company that wanted to erect a large Cellular phone service tower directly in a residential area.... I gave many of the local "activists" that were against this cell tower as much information that I could to give them ammunition against that company to try to stop that EMF bleeding device from going into their community... Luckily at this point over a year later the tower is still not there and supposedly the Telco company is looking elsewhere to put up their tower...I for one have long known the truth about Cellular phone services and how the Telephone company's towers that are going up everywhere put out massive EMF fields of radiation that are making a lot of people sick....This is fact and not fiction, and sadly when the Telco companies are approached about this problem here in Canada, they all act like parrots and claim that this "problem" was investigated way back in the early 1990's and an "official" report was forwarded to the Canadian government's CRTC bureau of hypocrisy saying that there was NO problem at all! BUT... Here is the real joke about that "investigation", for it was conducted and paid for by the Telephone companies themselves (no bias here, right?).... Of course the Telcos would state that Cellular phone communication and the towers are safe.....But new information constantly surfaces from time to time that shows how truly dangerous these cell phone towers are, and how they are indeed a detriment to human life.. .For I want to present the following most interesting abstract report from the US National Library Of Medicine National Institutes Of Health website, at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, that shows clear evidence that the cellular phones that we are using are indeed making us all sick... Here is the link to that report here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28203122 and here is that Abstract here for all to see for themselves.. I have my usual thoughts and comments to follow:Dose Response. 2017 Jan 23;15(1):1559325816688527. doi: 10.1177/1559325816688527. eCollection 2017 Jan-Mar.Evaluation of the Effect of Radiofrequency Radiation Emitted From Wi-Fi Router and Mobile Phone Simulator on the Antibacterial Susceptibility of Pathogenic Bacteria Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli.Taheri M1, Mortazavi SM2, Moradi M1, Mansouri S1, Hatam GR3, Nouri F4.

Abstract
Mobile phones and Wi-Fi radiofrequency radiation are among the main sources of the exposure of the general population to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF). Previous studies have shown that exposure of microorganisms to RF-EMFs can be associated with a wide spectrum of changes ranged from the modified bacterial growth to the alterations of the pattern of antibiotic resistance. Our laboratory at the nonionizing department of the Ionizing and Non-ionizing Radiation Protection Research Center has performed experiments on the health effects of exposure to animal models and humans to different sources of electromagnetic fields such as cellular phones, mobile base stations, mobile phone jammers, laptop computers, radars, dentistry cavitrons, magnetic resonance imaging, and Helmholtz coils. On the other hand, we have previously studied different aspects of the challenging issue of the ionizing or nonionizing radiation-induced alterations in the susceptibility of microorganisms to antibiotics. In this study, we assessed if the exposure to 900 MHz GSM mobile phone radiation and 2.4 GHz radiofrequency radiation emitted from common Wi-Fi routers alters the susceptibility of microorganisms to different antibiotics. The pure cultures of Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coliwere exposed to RF-EMFs generated either by a GSM 900 MHz mobile phone simulator and a common 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi router. It is also shown that exposure to RF-EMFs within a narrow level of irradiation (an exposure window) makes microorganisms resistant to antibiotics. This adaptive phenomenon and its potential threats to human health should be further investigated in future experiments. Altogether, the findings of this study showed that exposure to Wi-Fi and RF simulator radiation can significantly alter the inhibition zone diameters and growth rate for L monocytogenes and E coli. These findings may have implications for the management of serious infectious diseases.

Free PMC ArticleNTS Notes: WHY am I NOT in the least bit surprised by the findings of this important abstract? I knew for the last few decades that there have been a multitude of health issues with this Cellular phone frequencies and of course the WIFI frequencies that are widespread today.. .The EMF fields are basically destroying our immune systems and making us more susceptible to diseases...What I find appalling is the differences in standards today between European cell phone providers and those here in North America... Apparently the European Union has set a standard that NO cell phone towers can be built within 300 meters of any residential environment...This is due to their own tests which show that there is indeed a problem with EMF fields from these towers and flies in the face of the non-standards set here in North America...I hope that everyone gets a look at these findings and raises a stink with their phone providers... The Cellular phone providers are now ready to launch their next phase in technology with their 5G and 6G networks that may use TETRAHERTZ frequencies and associated EMF fields.... I can only imagine the health problems we will see with those!More to comeNTS
