PhoneGate Alert Update 2020!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Wednesday, July 15th, 2020

15th July 2020


Large numbers of mobile phones in use are emitting microwave frequency radiation way above the regulatory limit, when placed against the body. For safety reason it would be wise to check if you are, or a family member is using one of these mobile phone models.

After months of legal action by French physician Dr. Marc Arazi, in June 2017 the National Frequency Agency of France (ANFR) revealed the 2015 test results of hundreds of cell phones. This ANFR study shows that if you use these phones like the majority of people do, touching the body, the phones greatly exceeded the French government radiation exposure safety limits.



If you do place one of these mobile phones directly in contact with your body, your exposure level to microwave radiation can be three or more times greater than the maximum Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) government safety level! Independent scientific experts around the world have been saying for decades that the microwave radiation SARs regulatory limits are already set far to high to protect public health, and particularly for children! 



Phonegate organization has had some success in having a number of the offending mobile phones sanctioned, or withdrawn from the market, but there is a lot more to this story!


25th May 2020 - Withdrawal of the Razer Phone 2: not seeing the forest for the trees!Extracts:

Since then, in two years, thanks to our action, 23 different smartphone models controlled by ANFR have been found to have SAR levels for the head and body above the regulatory limit of 2 W/kg during ANFR inspections. Four have been withdrawn from the French market. The others have only had their SAR level “updated” (reduced by updating).

However, tests conducted by both ANFR and the journalist Sam Roe for the Chicago Tribune have shown that the local body SAR level is multiplied by a factor of 3 to 4 when measured either at direct skin contact or at 2mm. That of the Razer Phone 2 could reach over 10 W/kg at direct contact with the skin.

“that the representative of the European Commission is hiding behind a staggering technocratic cynicism. His non-reaction shows the extent to which the mobile telephony industry lobbies have knowingly silenced the European authorities. We demand that this new health scandal, Phonegate, be treated with seriousness and a sense of responsibility. The health of hundreds of millions of Europeans citizen is at stake”.

UPDATE to PhoneGate Alert!


Two new smartphones have just been sanctioned for exceeding the SAR level: the Xiaomi Redmi 7 and the Gigaset plus. This is a new advance in our alert action!


However, we have been waiting since last October for the Government to deliver on its promise to update the excessive SAR levels of several hundred mobile phone models. We demand that the commitments made following the recommendations of the French National Health Agency (ANSES) be fulfilled.


The Covid19 crisis does not justify such a delay. The Phonegate scandal is also a real health emergency!

Social Distancing Is Very Important!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Tuesday, March 17th, 2020

17 March 2020


If implemented early, Social Distancing can potentially significantly lower the fatality rate off patients and medical staff during a pandemic.


13th March 2020 - Coronavirus fears prompt health officials to ask Australia's leaders to ban events with more than 500 people.


Extract:


A senior West Australian doctor has called for all schools to be closed soon and for there to be no crowds allowed at events as the coronavirus spreads, declaring he wants his colleagues to stay alive. Coronavirus claims Coast event as others hang in balance


WA Australian Medical Association (AMA) president Andrew Miller posted on social media: "You want to go to the footy? I want my colleagues to stay alive."


https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-13/coronavirus-scott-morrison-coag-premiers-cancelling-events/12053382


Why, in this article, are these doctors saying they want their colleagues to stay alive?


This is why.


Look to Italy as an example. They have one of the best hospitals systems in the world. Their hospitals are well equipped, and they were prepared. The Italian public were also told everything was fine. They had two cases a month and a half ago.


  • On the 30th January 2020, had two Chinese tourists who test positive for COVID-19.
  • By 24th February 2020, Italy had 229 confirmed cases and 6 fatalities.
  • On the 8th March 2020, Italy locked down a region with a population of 16 million people. By this time the number of confirmed cases had risen to 6,387 and deaths had risen to 366.
  • By 9th March 2020,  Italy went into whole country lock down.
  • On 10th March 2020, there were 10,149 confirmed cases and 631 deaths.


Their hospitals systems are now completely overloaded because the virus infection rate is exponential. Their staff are exhausted. They can't treat all the patients. In situations like this, medical staff contract the virus. If you look around the Internet, top Italian medical doctors are telling everyone please don't make the same mistakes we made.


If you don't implement social distancing early in an outbreak, a country's hospital systems can become totally overwhelmed very quickly. This means the fatality rate will increase by a factor of five to ten times or more.


If you implement social distancing in the very early stages of the outbreak, the hospital system has a chance. It spreads the load of infected patients over a longer period of time. This means that the hospitals and staff have a better chance to treat everyone effectively.


Social distancing means a lot more people and medical staff end up surviving the contagion, because many more people were able to get good medical care.



During a pandemic you don't need to wait for a government directive to implement proper social distancing, start implementing it immediately. The sooner social distancing is implemented, the more lives will be saved. Watch this 6.29 minute video. This is what we all need to do. Our personal actions can potentially save a lot of lives.

Coronavirus COVID-19 & Flu Season, first line of defense!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Monday, February 24th, 2020

24 February 2020


In a recent photo of people being evacuated from the quarantined cruise ship in Japan back to the US by plane, it showed people wearing their protective face masks on upside down, and others with no air seal around the nose and mask!


It is very important to have the knowledge on how to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) properly, and exercise very good hygiene practices in environments like this. If you do, it will greatly improve your chances of avoiding infection during a pandemic or flu event.


If you are in a country where the numbers of infected people dramatically increase all of a sudden, you could find your everyday life turned upside down. Within a very short period of time large parts of your country, towns or districts, could be placed under quarantine.


This may not happen in your location. Lets hope it doesn't. If it does, having the proper knowledge, skills and equipment on hand will greatly improve your family's chances of of avoiding infection. Do research, bookmark, printout, and download instructional information that will provide your family with the necessary knowledge and skills.


Example, lets start with preventing infection, good hygiene is your family's first line of defense!


As the Coronavirus spreads Worldwide large numbers of people are purchasing, goggles, gloves, masks, sanitizers and disinfectants etc.


That maybe a great idea, but next to useless exercise if you don't know how to sanitize, or use the equipment correctly!


The skills provide in the instruction videos below could significantly improve your family member's chances of avoiding infection.


It is better for all the members of your family to practice and master these techniques now, than wait until the last minute. Remember, for this to work, all the family members will need to work together as a well oiled team.


Don't just rely on the information presented here, do more research, as there is much more you will need to know.


Firstly and most importantly keep your hands away from your face!


You think you have been washing you hands correctly all these years? Well sorry to say the vast majority of you haven't been!


Germ Smart - How To Wash Your Hands


I would also suggest that you stop wearing hand jewellery, watches, false nails or nail varnish, plus keep your nails as short a possible. Doing this will significantly improve the effectiveness of using this hand washing technique.



Phone Soap Tested on Discovery Channel


With just about everyone addicted to their mobile phone, it would be a very good idea to learn how to sanitize it properly. These devices can be a significant vector in the spread of a contagion. Use speaker phone, texting and avoided placing it on your head or face. Stop using it, or limit its use to absolutely essential calls if possible.


If you touched the outside of the Phone Soap device with your hands as you placed the phone into the device, you will then need to also sanitize the outside of the Phone Soap device, and your hands before removing the phone. There are a number of other phone and tablet sanitizing systems out there that are based on wipes and cloths, that you could research.



Medical Respirators N95 Fitting Instructions


To get a good seal of a facial mask like this, it will be important for men to remove facial hair.


There are detailed written instructions in the "Show More" description area under the video.



Face Mask vs Respirator Comparison by 3M



Eye Protection


With the potential for COVID-19 to infect through the eyes, it will be import to use whatever eye protection you have available, goggles, wrap around safety glasses, sunglasses, ordinary glasses etc.


Putting on Sterile Gloves


Again, I would also suggest that you also stop wearing hand jewellery, watches, false nails and keep your finger nails as short a possible. These sharp items can puncture the gloves.



Proper Disposable Glove Removal



Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)


Obviously, most of you will not be wearing a full PPE kit. It is still very important to know in what order and how to remove the equipment that you are wearing.



Cleaning and Sanitizing (Food Preparation Areas)



How to Properly Disinfect Surfaces to Kill Germs


This is a commercial product video, I have put it in this list because it provides important information.


Look around your environment for those surfaces that are frequently touched by people. They are the surfaces that will need to be sanitized often. Some surfaces can be damaged by some cleaning and sanitizing chemicals, particularly electronic devices, so do your research first before applying!



Important


6 Cleaning Products Combinations To NEVER Mix



Toilet Seat


Put the toilet lid down before flushing the toilet. This will help contain potential aerosol contaminated water droplets from entering the home, or business environment.


Wash your hands with soap and water after going to the toilet, touching a pet, before preparing a meal or eating, before smoking, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing into your hands etc.


This recent study shows how very important regular hand washing with soap and water is in preventing infection, and preventing the spread of a global pandemic! There should be way more up front and visible public education on the importance of hand washing.


Washing your hands properly and regularly is extremely important!!!


This recent study shows how very important hand washing with soap and water is in the prevention of infection, and preventing the spread of global epidemics!


There should be way more up front and visible public education on the importance of hand washing in the prevention of disease.


23rd December 2019 - Hand‐Hygiene Mitigation Strategies Against Global Disease Spreading through the Air Transportation Network


Abstract Extracts:


Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) consider hand hygiene as the most efficient and cost‐effective way to limit disease propagation.


Here, we use epidemiological modeling and data‐driven simulations to elucidate the role of individual engagement with hand hygiene inside airports in conjunction with human travel on the global spread of epidemics. We find that, by increasing travelers engagement with hand hygiene at all airports, a potential pandemic can be inhibited by 24% to 69%.

Potential 110 Times Regulatory Exposure Limit For Children!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Tuesday, February 18th, 2020

February 2020,


The “Berkeley Cell Phone Right To Know Ordinance” requires mobile phone retailers in the USA city of Berkeley to post this notice:


"The City of Berkeley requires that you be provided the following notice: To assure safety, the Federal Government requires that cell phones meet radiofrequency (RF) exposure guidelines. If you carry or use your phone in a pants or shirt pocket or tucked into a bra when the phone is ON and connected to a wireless network, you may exceed the federal guidelines for exposure to RF radiation. Refer to the instructions in your phone or user manual for information about how to use your phone safely.”


The USA Supreme Court rejected the cell phone industry challenge to the Berkeley ordinance.


Extracts:


"The court agreed that our precious First Amendment guarantees that we have the right to know that cell phones emit radiation and that levels can be exceeded when phones contact the body. Astonishingly, the industry argued that compelling them to provide information about tested distances set for large adults denied their right to keep this information hidden as part of their right to free speech.


Investigations at FCC accredited labs by the Chicago Tribune, the law firm of Fegan Scott, and CBC Broadcasting, as well as tests of hundreds of phones by the French government disclosed that the Berkeley advice may well understate exposures. Some of the most popular smartphones emit up to 11 times as much radiation as permitted under outdated FCC radiation exposure guidelines when tested against the body."


Article:


https://www.ibtimes.com/supreme-court-rejects-cell-phone-industry-challenge-berkeley-ordinance-2882980


The industry went to a lot of expense to try and stop this information from being placed in plain view. It is your right to be made fully aware of this safety requirement! Why was there such strong industry opposition to having this safety information placed in plain sight?


The chart below shows how dramatically microwave wireless frequency radiation exposure levels increase, when an adult male places one of the tested smartphones against their body. The microwave wireless frequency radiation exposure levels would be even greater for most women, as their body size is smaller than the "Reference Man" body size that is used for testing.


WikiPedia:


“Reference man is defined as being between 20-30 years of age, weighing 70 kg, is 170 cm in height, and lives in a climate with an average temperature of from 10°C to 20°C. He is a Caucasian and is a Western European or North American in habitat and custom.”



Children are not small adults, their biology and physical size are very different from adults. Here I provided an extract from page two of a research article, link below.


"The use of cell phone in children is dangerous due to the closer proximity of the mobile phone to their brain compared to adults; the average RF exposure from its use is higher by a factor of 2 in a child’s brain and by a factor of 10 in the bone marrow of the skull.


Brain and bone marrow have a higher conductivity in children than in adults and receive a higher energy deposition from RF sources. With age, the bone marrow progressively incorporates more fat, and the bone itself increases in thickness, hardens, and loses water over time, thus making the tissues less vulnerable."


The statement of 11 times the radiation exposure limit if used against the body, in the Berkeley Ordinance article above, is for a large adult male body size. This means the child dose equivalent above the USA regulatory limit would be much much greater, because their body size and head size is much smaller than a large adult male.


Extrapolating from the information provided in the research paper, it would mean that children, using some of the most popular smartphones, would potentially be exposed to, an equivalent of 11 X 2, or 22 times above the regulatory limit for their brains, and 11 X 10, or 110 times greater for their skull bone marrow!


Every parent should be socked by the revelation that these safety tests are based on a large adult male body size, and do not in any way provide a safety guide for children!

Modern Technology Eroding Freedom, Privacy and Health!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Sunday, December 8th, 2019

8th December 2019   


Technology is now a Big Brother's surveillance tool. Everything we now do in modern society is being recorded and watched, whether you like it or not. Let's look at the personal computer of the twenty first century, the smart phone. 


What can it do.


1. It can ping the local mobile towers regularly, even if it is turned off, and from this information it can triangulate your location.


2. Smart phones have a gyroscope built in so you can get those fancy games working well. The gyroscope can be used to work out what you are physically doing at any point in time, walking, running, driving, or cleaning the windows etc.


3. Even if the mobile is turned off, it can be used to take a picture, or record your conversations.


4. Not only can it triangulate where you are at any given time, but also record this information for later analysis. These personal location tracking and recording tools add a whole new dimension to the smart phone tracking armory.


5. Even if you don't own a smart phone, they can use voice or facial recognition, to determine if you are in a room with someone who is using one.


6. It can record all your keystrokes SMS messages and emails, and send this info off somewhere unknown.


Corporations and phone application builders are using your smart phone to gather all the info they can about you. Data mining / surveillance for profit is the new oil of the 21st century. By selling this data to third parties, they can potentially make more money from the surveillance for profit, than they made from the device or app they sold you!


You buy a mobile phone to have convenient mobile communication, not to be a Big Brother tool for recording and watching everything you do. Not only can this technology be used by governments, and corporations, but anyone who wants to do some basic research, can get the tools to hack your smart phone!


Saying you don't care, as your are doing nothing wrong, means absolutely nothing. Governments can change laws at any time, and what is legal now can be illegal in the future. With these technologies governments can impose total control over their citizens. You won't be able to have sex, sneeze, or fart in the toilet without the government knowing about it. 


When you purchase a Mobile Phone it should come with clear warnings!


  • You may be tracked when using this device, by government, or corporations.
  • Your conversations may be recorded without your knowledge.
  • The device may take photographs without your knowledge.
  • Your physical activities may be monitored at any time without your knowledge.
  • All your Keystrokes, SMS and emails messages are recorded, and sent off to somewhere unknown.
  • It can be hacked easily, so the manufacturer accepts no responsibility for the loss of private information or financial losses.
  • Health Hazard - use at your own risk as the radiation from mobile phones will affect your health.
  • Your children and grand children may suffer from sterility and DNA damage.


Industry sponsored research says it has no effect except for a slight warming of the body tissue. Tens of thousands of independent research papers indicate these devices are causing serious health issues. Below is just one of many recent independent articles on this subject.

18th November 2019 - Brain cancers : 4 times more new cases of glioblastoma in 2018 according to Public Health France


Extract:


Absolute duty to protect children and young people

For Dr Annie Sasco, cancer epidemiologist, former Director of Research Unit at IARC-WHO:

    “The evolution of incidence and mortality rates of central nervous system tumors as a whole and especially glioblastoma over the past 30 years is of particular concern. Of course, diagnostic behaviours have evolved and play a role, especially for older people. Nevertheless, there is a real increase, even among the youngest, for whom it is likely that diagnostic modalities have changed less than among the elderly and which may therefore be linked to environmental factors and primarily to the use of mobile or wireless phones. Informing the public should make it possible not to continue on this upward trajectory, especially among young people, with an absolute duty to protect children by not allowing them to use a cellular phone and in general by protecting them from exposure to electromagnetic fields“.

Legal Opinion & Duty of Care

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Sunday, September 1st, 2019

1st September 2019


This important notice is part of the Sunshine Coast Computer Club Inc,.“Duty of Care,” to keep members up to date and informed, on the potential hazards of wireless technologies.


LEGAL OPINION


on whether it would be in contravention of human rights and environmental law to establish the 5G-system in Denmark (May 4th 2019)


Important extracts from this legal opinion are provided on this handout. There are a large number of peer reviewed scientific papers referenced in the full legal opinion. The full document can be downloaded from the club web site here, https://sccc.org.au/downloads/LegalOpinionOn5G.pdf,


Extract Page 13:


”The Epidemiological studies reported since the 2011 IARC Working Group meeting are adequate to consider RFR as a probable human carcinogen (Group 2 A). However, they must be supplemented with the recently reported animal data as performed at the Ramazzini Institute and the US National Toxicology Program as well as by mechanistic studies. These experimental findings together with the epidemiology reviewed here are sufficient in our opinion, to upgrade the IARC categorization of RFR to Group 1, carcinogenic to humans.


.
In light of the evolving science concerning mobile phone and screen time exposures and the longer-term risk of cancer established by both epidemiological and toxicological studies, current evidence is strong enough to go from precaution concerning possible risk to prevention of known risks.


The precautionary principle should be applied now and suitable warning messages provided to adults and critically to children and their parents.


.
experimental evaluations and modeling are essential before distributing newer systems (e.g. 5G) for which no safety data have been obtained. The absence of systematic testing of such technologies should not be confused with proof of safety.


In the meantime, the evidence amassed thus far from epidemiology strengthens the case for instituting the precautionary principle with respect to exposures to RFR, especially to young children and men and women that wish to reproduce. ... Where studies have been carried out on human sperm quantity and quality there are increasing indications of serious human health impacts. To ignore those findings and subject humans to unevaluated novel RFR frequencies places current and future generations at risk.” (Emphasis added.)


Extract Page 17:


The (Danish) Minister of Health, in her reply dated April 12 th 2019 to question 693 in the Danish parliament's Health and Elderly Committee, presented figures from the Danish Health Registry's cancer registry, which show a clear increase in registered cases of cancer, in the form of glioblastoma, within the last 20 years.


The increase is particularly noticeable from 2005 to 2006 in individuals more than 30 years of age, and on average shows a doubling of the number of cases in this age range in the period from 2006 to 2017, compared to the preceding period from 1995 to 2006.


Altogether, there is an almost 80% increase in occurrences from 2015 to 2017, compared with the general level prior to 2006.


The legal opinion conclusion is on page 64.

Smart Meters, and The Internet of Things!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Sunday, July 2nd, 2017

July 2nd 2017

FOR YOUR FAMILY'S HEALTH, SAFETY AND PRIVACY, SAY

TO THE INSTALLATION OF

SMART METERS / DIGITAL METERS

Research these devices and you will be shocked!

 

Peter Dodwell suggested at the June committee meeting that the club should spend time educating members and the community about “The Internet of things” (IoT). He pointed out there where serious security and privacy risks which people where not being told about!

 

What is the Internet of things? Here is a glossy corporate presentation.

 

Do deeper research into this subject, and you will be shocked at the human suffering and financial losses people have endured from the roll out of this technology.

 

To get this all working in your home, they need to persuade you to pay for the installation and replacement of your perfectly working, efficient, long life (50 year +) analogue electric meter, for a short life (~ 15 year) smart meter.

You may get a glossy brochure in the mail or a phone call, offering a free meter and installation. The Smart meter and installation costs end up in electricity bill increases for everyone, it is not free!

 

Once installed the Smart meter, also called Digital meter, becomes the Internet gateway device for all the smart devices in your home. Just be aware they also want to eventually install this type of device on your water and gas services.

 

Why all the effort to roll out all this Internet of things infrastructure? Energy companies see this as the financial gold mine at the end of the rainbow. The benefits for the power corporations are increased profits.

 

  • They no longer need meter readers.

     

  • Micro control of the electricity supply allows them to charge more for electricity.

     

  • Smart meters enable them to record huge amounts of private customer behaviour, and sell it for profit.

     

  • Financial benefit from the sale of smart appliances.

     

 

How has this all come about? They grease the political system on both sides of politics. Overseas, Congressmen, and other in government bureaucrats have ended up with lucrative corporate jobs at the end of their tenure.

 

They tell you it will help the environment, but each smart meter uses around 1,200 watts per day, which you pay for. Every smart device will use more electricity because the data collection and wireless transmission circuitry needs to be on all the time. Everywhere this technology has been rolled out electricity charges have gone up significantly!

 

Their slick campaigns focus on convenience. How cool it will be to get up in the morning and walk into the kitchen and say, “Make Coffee,” and your coffee maker will make coffee, or say TV turn on, to turn on the TV.

 

No mention of documented multiple detrimental effects to populations where these meters have been installed!

 

 

The security of all these Internet of things smart devices is also a major issue! Yes they are frequently hacked. Peter Dodwell gave an example of baby monitors!

 

I roared with laughter when I read this one. Class action against a sex vibrator company. They had been collecting extensive usage data of people who had purchased their product, without their knowledge!

 

Members are flat out keeping their present gadgets secure and up to date. What are your chances of keeping your smart fridge, smart washing machine, smart TV baby monitor etc., updated and secured with the latest patches!

 

When devices like this are hacked on mass, they can be used as a controlled army to take down Internet connected infrastructure. This has happened numerous times already, and we are only at the early stages of this roll out.

 

Here are free tips and information to help protect your family's health, safety, security, and privacy!

 

 

Large numbers of people where smart meters have been rolled out have developed microwave sickness, now called  electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS).

 

 

The main symptoms of EHS are headaches, chronic fatigue, recurring infections, difficulties concentrating, memory loss, inexplicable unhappiness, dermatological symptoms, irritability or sleeplessness, heart problems, poor blood circulation, disorientation, nasal congestion, reduced libido, thyroid disorders, eye discomfort, tinnitus, increased need to urinate, listlessness, capillary fragility, cold hands and feet, and stiff muscles. If you have any of these symptoms, always consult your doctor to eliminate other possible causes.

For everyone's health, safety, and privacy, please pass this handout onto friends, relatives and neighbours, because we also need them to say NO! Do letter box drops, hand it out, email it, plus post it on web sites and social media. Flyer download link.

Extract from Queensland Government web site:

"New meters

New national metering rules are expected to come into effect on 1 December 2017, making digital meters the standard meter for all customers. This means that whenever a new meter is installed, a digital meter will be the default option. However, in limited circumstances, customers in existing premises may opt-out of having a digital meter.

 

After the commencement of the new rules, small customers will not need to do anything. Your electricity distributor (e.g. Energex, Ergon Energy) will continue to provide metering services at your premises until you decide to install a digital meter, or the meter needs replacement (e.g. due to fault or age)."

Headache Cure!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Friday, July 1st, 2016

(1st July 2016)

 

A person brought his laptop and DSL modem to me to check out. Apparently he had spent a lot of time on the Internet  service provider help line, and they were unable to fix the Internet connection problem over the phone. There was uncertainty whether it was the modem or the laptop that was the problem, as the service provider assured him that the ADSL line tested OK.

 

I sorted the issues with the laptop and then turned on the ADSL wireless modem. I now test all wireless devices with my trusty microwave meter, to see what signal strength they put out. This helps you establish if the device is working properly.

 

Normal  microwave background in most American cities in the 1990s was around 30 micro watts per square meter (30uW/m2), in the country it was less than 10uW/m2. This modem was radiating 1,100,000 uW/m2. If you look at the club Microwave Safety Guide chart (bottom of page), this is at the top signal strength level region for home microwave devices. This device close up signal strength, was a million times above the natural microwave radiation background for all previous generations of humans!

 

In my opinion, this device presented a health risk, particularly if it was located close to him while he was using his computer. I called him and asked where he had this device located, in relation to his computer.  I pointed out that it was a very powerful Wifi device, and he shouldn't have it close to him for long periods of time. It turned out he had it on his desk, about half a meter away from where he used his laptop, in his bedroom, plus it was always on.

 

Then the penny dropped, he realized that since the modem had been with me, his headaches had disappeared. He explained  that for the last 6 months or more, he had every conceivable medical test you can imagine to ascertain what was causing him to have severe headaches!  He immediately informed me he did not want this modem back. We established that he didn't even need a Wifi modem.  I suggested I set up a standard ADSL 2+ modem and have it connect to his laptop via a physical cable. I explained this set up would provide a much faster and safer Internet connection, compared to the Wifi Modem.

 

He ended up with a great outcome, a headache cure, plus a faster and safer Internet connection!

 

New ADSL and NBN modems often have two Wifi bands that they can work on, 2G and 5G. These two microwave wireless systems are generally turned on by default. In my opinion multi-band wireless devices are potentially more hazardous than single band wireless devices. This is because they put out a much stronger Wifi signal. You can usually turn one, or both bands off, in the modem settings.

 

From research, the microwave signal is not the sole health issue. The microwave signal is just a carrier wave, for the digital information signal, that conveys information to and from your devices. This modulated digital signal on the microwave carrier wave, is also creating biological damage, that can result in serious health issues.

 

Those who are sensitive will notice the health effects first. It can cause lots of other health issues besides cancer. It is important to take a precautionary approach to these technologies, and limit you and your families' exposure. If you don't need it, turn it off, educate you family members to do the same.  Purchase Wifi devices with a physical on / off wireless switch.

 

Download and read the Microwave Safety Guide below, on page two it provides lots of practical ways to easily and greatly reduce you and your families microwave radiation exposure!

In this short road tour video with Sunshine Coast Daily reporter Kathy Sundstrom, I show the microwave meter in action.  The TES 593 microwave meter is probably a much better microwave meter than the Tenmars TM-196 used in this video. They cost around the same. Note: Strong EMF fields from substations and power lines, as well as Radon excitation can potentially cause illness.

WiFi Is Not Safe For Children!

By Peter Daley · Comments (1)
Sunday, February 21st, 2016

(21st February 2016)

 

If you haven't already, I suggest watching this recently aired ABC Catalyst program on the risk of WiFi technologies.

 

Extract:

“Wi-Fi blankets our homes, schools & cities. Dr Maryanne Demasi takes a closer look at the link between mobile phones & brain cancer & explores whether our wireless devices could be putting our health at risk. #ABCcatalyst.”

 

http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/catalyst/SC1502H003S00

 

All mobile wireless devices are a source of microwave radiation. Microwave radiation was classed as a 2B carcinogen by the WHO in 2011, and a lot of independent researches felt it should have been classified as a 2A risk.

 

We have a criminal situation where younger and younger children being exposed to this technology, and we have no idea what long term effects this exposure will have on them. In the medical field you don't come up with a new chemical pill and give it to children without long term research. Even after this, they can get it wrong. Thalidomide is a good example of this.

 

There is no research on the long term effects of WiFi radiation on children, this generation is the experiment. Download and printout this free WiFi Safety Guide, it has practical suggestions on how to limit your family's WiFi exposure. https://sccc.org.au/wifi/microwave-safety-chart.pdf

Free WiFi Safety Guide

microwave-safety-guides

 

Over the years I have done a number of club tutorials on the risks of WiFi technology. You can find the core of this information on the club web site.

 

In these articles you will find excellent independent research information on this subject. I would encourage all members to take the time to read these articles, and watch the short informative videos. You will also find tips on how to limit your family's exposure.

 

I have a tri-axis Microwave meter to measure the strength of microwave radiation, in the environment or emanating from equipment, mobile phone, tablets, cordless phones, laptop etc. If there are enough members interested, I would like to encourage the club to also consider purchasing one, for club members to use. I can train members up on how to use it. It is an excellent tool to help protect your family.

 

It is important to understand that the industry runs interference to confuse the public, by funding research. Below is an extract from a “National Day Of Action Against Smart Meters with Jerry Flynn”, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-F3nf47kAs

 

Barrie Trower 1977 document

 

In the Catalyst program, it focus's on brain tumours. There is a lot of evidence that it not only causes this type of cancer, but also inner ear, salivary gland and carotid artery tumours, plus significant hormonal disturbances and other illness.

 

The foetus of pregnant women, children, and particularly girls, are much more sensitive to radiation than adults. In the Catalyst program they mention the research showing a mobile phone causing sperm damage to men who put it in their pants pocket. Well think about it, what damage is occurring to a young girl's eggs or a young boy's sperm when they place a tablet on their laps for hours at a time. Their bodies are a lot smaller, so their exposure is much greater than an adult! The microwave signal emanating from a tablet can also be stronger than a mobile phone!

 

States within Australia are having smart meters rolled out – covertly. The PDF document document below, has printable signs and suggestions on what actions to take, to prevent one being installed on your home.

Update: Here is my TenMars tri-axis microwave test meter in use on a road tour survey of the Sunshine Coast, with Kathy Sundstrom, from the Sunshine Coast Daily News Paper.  Here is a sort video of the road tour.

Energy, Economics and the Environment

By Peter Daley · Comments (1)
Sunday, July 6th, 2014

 

Over the next few years the world will be facing unprecedented change. Many people are becoming aware of this future that is unfolding, and are making changes in their lives, to prepare for this change. This is so they and their families can live a productive healthy life in the face of these changes. To understand how to prepare for this future, you need understand the dynamic interdependence of energy, economics and the environment. World resources are finite and can not sustain the constant exponential growth that our economic system is based on.

 

the three Es

 

Here is an excellent "Accelerated Crash Course" video which will get you up to speed on these dynamics. The more people who are educated in these dynamics, the smoother the change will be for everyone.

 

Accelerated Crash Course

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYyugz5wcrI

 

This web site has more information on this subject.

http://www.peakprosperity.com/crashcourse/accelerated

 

I suggest doing more research on this subject. There is a great deal of excellent information on the Internet. The more educated you are on this subject, the better prepared you will be to make wise choices.

 

As a world community, we need to refocus how we do things.  How about an economic system based on people, and not things. Instead of Gross national product, how about Gross national happiness? It is time to think clearly. After all, an economy is just an exchange of energy. We have to change direction, for the benefit of everyone, with the positive use of technology.  It will also mean a global consciousness shift,  or are we going to wait until we are on the edge of the precipice?

Important, WiFi in Schools!

By Peter Daley · Comments (4)
Friday, April 4th, 2014

(4th April 2014)

 

For wireless convenience, we are placing at risk the health of generations of children!

Facts

 

1.    Microwave radiation was classed as a 2b carcinogen by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2011.

 

It took a lot of scientific conferences and lobbying, to get to the point where the WHO made this classification. A lot of independent scientists feel the WHO has not gone far enough.

 

2.    Children and foetuses are much more sensitive to microwave radiation than adults.

 

The cells of children and a foetus are dividing much more quickly, plus their immune systems are not properly developed. Limiting their exposure to microwave radiation is important!

 

Children in Australian schools are now being encouraged to use wireless connected tablets and laptops, at an ever increasing early age. In my opinion this is criminal. This will expose millions of children, to an unprecedented amount of microwave radiation.

 

This exposure could result in an epidemic of serious illness in the future, amongst this generation of children. It can take five, ten, or twenty years, before illness from exposure to this type of radiation manifests! We should be taking a precautionary approach when it comes to children's health.

 

The Australian Government is aggressively implementing this program, despite the fact that other Governments around the world are banning WiFi in schools, and using wired networks. The Australian safety standard is 100 to 10,000 times higher than other countries. It is from the 1950s, and is based on the thermal effects of a six minute exposure, to an adult human body.

 

Watch these two very informative videos created by “WiFi in Schools Australia.” This organisation is made up of parents who have researched the biological effects of EMR.

http://www.wifi-in-schools-australia.org/p/blog-page_16.html

 

Over the years a lot industry funded studies have claimed they could not find any significant health effects. FOIA documents from as far back as the 1950s, indicate that they have known all along about the serious long term health effects of non-ionising microwave radiation. Governments and Industry have kept it secret to preserve industrial profit.

 

Extract from this youtube video “National Day Of Action Against Smart Meters with Jerry Flynn.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-F3nf47kAs

Barrie Trower 1977 document

 

The vast majority of independent research on this subject, provides overwhelming evidence that microwave radiation causes biologic damage to the human body. The amount of damage depends on the length of exposure, and its intensity.

Wake up call part 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdmQDJ9WOiQ

 

The present Governments education policy is encouraging the use of WiFi based technologies in schools, to children at an ever early age. This is going to be exposed large numbers of Australian children to unprecedented amounts of microwave radiation!

 

Who will benefit? Corporate profits will increase from the sale of all this technology to parents, and schools. Schools have a duty of care to your children. Schools should not be exposing children to unprecedented amounts of microwave radiation. I know parents who have taken their children out of school over this issue.

 

You will find more informative videos and information on this subject, at the club web site here.

Wireless Security and Risk Management

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Thursday, August 1st, 2013

(1st August 2013)

 

If you have children it is important to read,  Wireless Risk Management

 

Wireless technologies are  everywhere, providing convenience, and portability. Being able to communicate from anywhere, plus being able to get on the Internet and find information in an instant, are some of the benefits of using wireless technologies.

 

There are down sides to this. Their portability leaves them venerable to theft and forget fullness. Being connected to other systems and networks, leaves them constantly venerable to hacking attacks, virus infections and malware installations.

 

Here are some practical things you can do to improve security for mobile devices.

 

Security tips

 

1.  Have a decent password for access, at least 8 to 12 characters long, made up of upper, and lower case letters, plus symbols. Don’t use simple dictionary words with a birth date and a few numbers. These are very easy to break.

 

2. Install mobile security software, virus scanners, malware and sypware removers, plus encryption tools. Use encryption  to prevent easy access to private files, photos and data, from hackers.

 

3. Set up a device recovery system that allows you to track where the device is located. Great if you have just misplaced it somewhere. If you forget where you left it, this type of tool will allow you to track it from your home computer, laptop or mobile phone. There are remote recovery tools available, suitable for your Apple, Windows and Android based tablets and phones.

 

4. Make sure you also set up remote wipe/erase option if you set up one of these remote tracking systems. The device may not be recoverable, or has sensitive data on it that you want keep away from prying eyes. Being able to erase all your sensitive personal information quickly, could be more important than the device. Remote wipe software erases the entire system, and restores it to the factory settings. It has to be set up on the device you want to recover or erase, plus another phone, tablet, or computer you own.

 

Unfortunately no device is perfectly secure no matter which make and model you purchase. If you make the effort to follow the above suggestions, it will make it much more secure, and provide you with some peace of mind.

 

Wireless Risk Management

For wireless convenience, we are placing at risk the health of generations of children!

 

All mobile wireless devices are a source of microwave radiation. Microwave radiation was classed as a 2B carcinogen by the WHO in 2011, so limiting your exposure is important. Large numbers of independent peer review studies are showing this could potentially be a major health issue. All ionizing or non ionizing radiation is cumulative. Pregnant women, children, and and particularly girls, are much more sensitive to radiation than adults.

 

There is no safe level of microwave radiation exposure for children.

In this video British microwave military expert Barrie Trower, explains why tablets, wireless computers,

baby monitors, cell and cordless phones, plus other microwave radiation devices are NOT safe for children.

In this video there are demonstrations of how wireless household appliances such as portable phones, WiFi base stations and DECT baby monitors, broadcast constant microwave radiation, that is similar in intensity to being a few hundred meters away from a large cell phone tower. In this video you will be introduced to several cell antenna studies that show the microwave radiation that is emitted by these towers are harmful to human health.

Practical things you can do to reduce your family's exposure to Microwave Radiation.

 

The more wireless devices you have turned on in your house at one time, the more intense will be the microwave radiation exposure to your family and the neighbours. Think about it. In a home of a family of four, each person could have a mobile phone, a tablet computer, their own laptop, a cordless phone system, game console, wireless access point, or mobile broadband device.

 

All of these devices radiate significant amounts of microwave radiation individually. Combined, this adds up to a very significant exposure. Train the family to turn them off, or use alternative technologies! A lot of people don’t even own a mobile phone and they survive! Some people are far more sensitive than others to this type of radiation and can suffer significant symptoms, in a very short period of time.

 

Ideally stop using wireless devices altogether and use wired connections, or at least use methods to reduce you and your family's exposure. Doing this not only limits your exposure, but also the exposure to everyone around you! When it comes to microwave radiation, distance is your friend. Each doubling of the distance from a microwave transmitting device quarters the radiation exposure.

 

1. Turn devices off when not in use! Buy wireless devices with a physical on off wireless switch. Turning the wireless device off has an added benefit, it lessens the time available for someone to hack into the device. Wireless devices such as printers, access points, cordless phones, baby monitors, WiFi routers and tablets etc, can send out very strong microwave signals constantly when left on.

 

2. A lot of wireless modems and access points will allow you to turn down the wireless transmission signal strength in their software settings. Lower the wireless signal transmission strength to the lowest possible level you can, to get everything working well with a 3 to 4 bar signal strength.

 

3. Place wireless access points and mobile broadband devices as far away from you as practical. It is suggested to put mobile broadband USB devices on a 5 meter USB extension cable. This is so you place the device away from you. You can then also use it like an aerial, to find the best signal strength location. Don’t place these devices on your lap or on your person. Use texting, speaker phone or a corded earpeiece when using a mobile phone.

 

4. Only have the device’s wireless and bluetooth functions turned on when necessary. Remember there can be more than one wireless type built into a device, WiFi as well a bluetooth etc. You can turn off these functions in the laptop, mobile phone and tablet settings. This will also improve security.

 

5. Sleeping with these devices in your bedroom, bed, or under your pillow. is a fire hazard, and also a health hazard.

 

6. Replacing a cordless phone system with an old style corded phone will greatly reduce the amount of microwave radiation emanating through your house, and your head.

 

7. Smart meters / Digital meters are being rolled out, and these devices put out a very powerful wireless signal. Act now to opt out of having them installed in your home or business power box. https://sccc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Smart-Meter-Installation-Protection-Kit-Updated.pdf

Act responsibly! USA statistics indicate ~25% of car accidents are now atributed to mobile phone use, and specifically texting while driving.

Hot Jewelry

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Thursday, January 31st, 2013

We purchased a pair of earrings over the Internet from the USA. They were to be given as a Christmas gift to a friend of the family. I decided to test them with a new computer based Geiger counter I had just assembled.

 

To my surprise these earrings turned out to be considerably radioactive. From the front side, and with the earrings next to each other, they tested 0.90 uSv/hr. Normal background here has been around 0.10 uSv/hr, so these earrings where testing 9 times background.

 

Originally thought the radioactivity was coming from the blue Topaz looking centre stones in this design, because there have been reports of radioactive Topaz being detected in jewelry. After removing these blue stones, and retesting the earrings, the light yellowy green stones positioned around these blue stones, were found to be the main source of the radioactivity.

 

Here are the scintillator and Geiger test charts results for the earrings test. The main isotopes detected were Thorium Th-234 and Uranium U-235.

 

The Thorium Th-234 is from Uranium U-238 decay. U-238 puts out hardly any gamma, but the Thorium Th-234 puts out enough for the scintillator equipment to detect it. The presence of Thorium indicates the presence of Uranium U-238, as Thorium Th-234 is a decay daughter of Uranium U-238.

 

Scintillator test Chart of earrings

This explains why there was so much beta detection with the Geiger test. Couldn't work out why at first. Thorium Th-234 puts out a lot of beta, and a small amount of gamma radiation.

 

Geiger Counter test chart using a Russian SBT-10 pancake tube. (Information on how to build your own computer based Geiger counter, for under $100, will be in next month magazine.)

Thorium Th-234 info

http://ie.lbl.gov/toi/nuclide.asp?iZA=900234

 

Conclusion:

The small yellowy/green stones on the earrings are Uranium glass made from purified Uranium ore, because there are no decay daughters of Lead Pb-214 or Bismuth Bi-214 isotopes present. It would appear that someone is supplying Uranium glass stones to the jewelry industry.

 

Most of the radiation is beta radiation with a small gamma component. This is manly from the Thorium 234 decay. Most of the beta radiation body exposure is blocked by the glass stone metal mountings, in this particular earring jewelry design.

 

Using the Geiger Counter with the SBT-10 tube I detected approximately an extra 0.06 uSv/hr, above background from the rear of the earrings, as opposed to 0.90 uSv/hr from the front.

 

The Alpha output by Uranium U-238 and U-235 isotopes would be locked into the glass.

 

Do these earrings pose a health hazard? Probably not in this design, as the wearer is protected from most of the radiation by the metal mountings during use. A resent commenter pointed out that when beta radiation hits metal it can produce bremsstrahlung secondary radiation. This also maybe a potential hazard that needs further investigation.

 

Do the stones themselves pose a health hazard? Maybe in these, or some other unforeseen circumstances.

 

Listed in order of possible risk

A. At a manufacturer site or jewelry store, where these stones could be stored in bulk. Being exposed to the dust from cutting or polishing this type of glass, in these environments, could pose the greatest health risk.

 

B. People spending long hours close up to the jewelry during assembly.

 

C. A person who had collected a lot of this type of jewelry, and stored it close to where they sleep.

 

D. Different types of jewelry design using these stones, could be potentially hazardous in these circumstances

 

1. The piece used larger stones, or more stones.

2. Thinner metal mountings were used.

3. If a piece was worn close to the body. The more proximity and surface area touching the body, means more radiation exposure.

 

It is suggested that those of you with Geiger Counters, check everything that comes into your house.

 

Next month I will provide information on how to build, and set up, this computer based Geiger counter kit used for testing in this article.  The open source Geiger counter software and USB hardware modules, plus Geiger tube, cost under $100.

 

Not only can these USB hardware modules be used to set up a cheap professional lab quality Geiger counter, they can also can be used to set up computer based motor control, light and temperature sensors, plus used to build computer based robotics very cheaply. The Geiger counter kit is probably the simplest item to build using these modules, and easiest project for members to build, to try their hand at this fascinating area of computer technology. For those members who are interested the hardware modules will be available for members to take home and experiment with.

Why test food for radioactive contamination?


Because governments have deceived the public about food safety radiation levels worldwide.

They first release an article like the one below. I am using the EU as an example here.


“EU boosts food import controls after Japanese nuclear disaster. The European Union is to step up controls on food imports from Japan in the wake of the nuclear accident at Fukushima – but stressed there was no evidence that consumers in the region were at risk from radiation-contaminated food.


The EU ruling insists that all products from these prefectures are tested before leaving Japan and said they will be subject to random testing in the bloc. Japanese authorities will have to provide a declaration confirming products do not contain radioactive elements – called radionuclides – that exceed EU maximum levels. The Commission highlighted radionuclides iodine-131, caesium-134 and caesium-137."


http://www.foodproductiondaily.com/Quality-Safety/EU-boosts-food-import-controls-after-Japanese-nuclear-disaster


This makes you feel warm and cosy inside, because you think your government is looking after you and your family. This article "EU boosts food import controls after Japanese nuclear disaster" is a clever deception because they then proceed to quietly raise the EU maximum safety levels by 20x for cesium-134 and cesium-137. Governments worldwide have used this same tactic.


http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/2011/04/04/eu-secretly-ups-cesium-safety-level-in-food-20-fold/


They then tell the public everything is testing below safety levels, nothing to worry about!


Here is another example, Japan this time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc6FPIK1VaY


If you do purchase good food testing radiation contamination equipment, look at the old pre Fukushima radioactive food contamination safety levels, as a possible guide. If you can purchase a none contaminated food item do so, as any level of radioactive food contamination poses a risk.


So what does this mean?


Radiation contamination bio-accumulates over time, particularly in meat, dairy and seafood grown and harvested in radiation contaminated areas. Ingested radiation from contaminated food radiates body cells with high doses of radiation for long periods of time.


You can't rely on governments, so it is important for your family's health and safety that you take the time and effort to research this subject. In summary, for your family's safety, only purchase food and goods that are not from contaminated areas. Also, research dietary systems that help remove or protect your body from radioactive contamination.


An Oncologist in Japan Dr. Atsuo Yanagisawa, has been doing ongoing research on the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster site workers, and found he is getting very good results with Liposomal Vitamin C. It appears to be healing a lot of radiation damage to their bodies. Liposomal Vitamin C is a combination of vitamin C and lecithin. This combination seems to improve the up take of vitamin C by 80%! It maybe a good idea for you and your family to research taking this to fortify against the effects of radiation. He has been trying to encourage the Japanese government to educate their people about this treatment.

Flaxseed


A study from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that flaxseed may help protect lungs against the damage caused by radiation exposure. The researchers believe that flaxseed might also have a role in protecting other healthy tissues and organs, before exposure to radiation.  It can even significantly reduce damage even after exposure.

If you are living in Southern Hemisphere, it is suggested at present, to eat locally grown food. A lot of Northern Hemisphere food is safe to eat. It is just hard to tell what is and what isn't, without government or private testing. The dynamics of the situation suggests that Southern Hemisphere grown food is more likely to be less contaminated. No significant detections have been made in any locally grown food, that has been tested so far here, at our testing lab in Australia. Be careful of food products labelled "Made from Australian and imported ingredients".

Latest International reports of radioactive isotope contamination of food items


This is by no means a complete list. If you know of a reported detection that is not on this list please lets us know by posting a comment.


NOTE: A lot of food and environmental detection reports tend to concentrate on Cesium detection. This is because it is relatively easy to test for, and detect. If Cesium is present in a test result, there is a possibility that other types of radioactive isotopes are also present  but not reported. Fallout is a dirty mixture of isotopes. It is not just Cesium. Some of the other isotope contaminants particularly the dangerous Alpha emitters, need more specialized and expensive equipment  to detect their presence.


Ingested radiation from contaminated food or water, can radiate body cells with high doses of radiation for long periods of time. This means any ingestion of radioactive isotopes increases the risk to ones well being. Children, particularly girls, and pregnant women are far more sensitive to the effects of radiation. This very informative video, that is just 10 minutes long, discusses the damage very small amounts of Cesium can do to children. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9d3I3S99Dc&feature=player_embedded

Computer equipment used in the local community testing lab


This is what the testing equipment looks like set up on a computer, with the Beeresearch bias box "Gamma Spectacular" unit, plus scintillator. The scintillator is the tall silver tube. It is the scintillator that does the detection. They are very delicate and need to be handled with care.


more info here,


http://www.gammaspectacular.com/


To get the best testing results a scintillator needs to be set up in a lead shielded testing chamber. The unit used for testing is a 2' x 2' NaI  crystal scintillator, set up in a 15 mm thick lead shielded container.



Spectrometry Charts


For those interested in Spectrometry, here are some charted results using this equipment to test radioactive items, and mineral samples.

Black fungus material from Japan test chart I was sent this resin encapsulated sample of black fungus like material. It has reportedly come from somewhere in the Minamisoma area Japan. A contact in Japan sent a friend this sample. This is my test chart of it. For those of you who have not looked at a chart like this before. The position of the peaks in a the chart indicate what isotopes are present. This fungus started growing on the concrete, and rock surfaces in Japan after the Fukushima Nuclear disaster. It appears to be bio-accumulating Cesium.


Thorium Gas Mantle Here is a scintillator detector test chart of a Thorium gas mantle, showing the different gamma emitting radioactive isotopes present in it. This chart doesn't include lots of other Alpha emitting isotopes that are also in a Thorium gas mantle. Scintillator detectors, like the one used for this test, can't detect pure Alpha or Beta isotope emitters. Old Thorium mantles are highly radioactive, and in my opinion a radioactive dust hazard, particularly if they are in old packaging. Anyone who is not experienced in handling radioactive material should not purchase Thorium Mantles. I am amazed that they actually sold these to the public.

Radium clock dial chart This spectra was recorded in a lead shield chamber without a copper liner, or proper calibration,  hence the large secondary X-ray peak at approx 80 keV. The chart is of half a Radium clock dial. This is to demonstrate what the equipment can do, plus to show how radioactive this small piece of fashionable jewelry was. A lot of people who used it as jewelry, or who were employed to paint these dials, died from the exposer to this highly radioactive substance.

The Radium clock Dial, Uraninite, and Euxenite, samples were kindly loaned by enenews member, Spectrometising.


Uraninite sample Chart Spectra recorded with a copper liner. Uraninite is a Uranium rich mineral, it is most commonly known as pitchblende. It is very radioactive.  It was used here to calibrate the equipment.

Euxenite Y Chart  Spectra recorded in a lead shield chamber without a copper liner, hence the large secondary X-ray peak at approx 80 Kev.


Food Testing Results


Large numbers of Australia food items have been, and are still being tested continuously. Because we don't have the man hours to write a report for each tested food item, only items that have had relevant radioactive isotope detections are listed here.


Australian Banana and Strawberry Plant Mutation Report (16/06/2014)


Spirulina Detection  (24/03/2013)

Possibly a small amount of radioactive iodine 1-129 has been detected in 200 grams of Spirulina, purchased at the local super market. It was tested twice. The other candidate is lead isotope Pb-210. I am leaning towards iodine because the  X-ray peak at 30 Kev fits its profile.  It is a small amount and is close to the limits of what the equipment here can detect. It is possibly a false positive detection. At this point Spirulina products should be tested by others to confirm if there is  any contamination with fallout isotopes.


This raises a lot of questions, because a lot of people are taking this to protect themselves against radiation exposure. I take it myself. I can only say that the Spirulina product container we purchased showed very small trace amounts of contamination, other batches could be fine. We will test other batches over time.


If this is a I-129 detection, why would it appear by itself?

One theory put forward is that the Spirulina organism is bio-accumlulating Iodine.


Here is some information that has already been put forward in discussions on this subject.


"If you are detecting it, it isn't probably natural .... but will be Fukushima - and I-129 is probably at levels to be a health concern."


"I-129 is one of the 7 long-lived fission products that are produced in significant amounts. Its yield is 0.706% per fission (U-235).[8] Larger proportions of other iodine isotopes like 131I are produced, but because these all have short half-lives, iodine in cooled spent nuclear fuel consists of about 5/6 129I and 1/6 the only stable iodine isotope, 127I."


Spirulina update


The batch off Spirulina I tested had on the packaging, "Made in Australia from Imported ingredients". I was under the impression all Spirulina was produced in the Northern Hemisphere.  It has since been informed that an Australian company also produces Spirulina.

Cinnamon Detection (05/02/2013)


An 80 gram packet of Cinnamon imported from India, that was purchased in Australia, was found to have traces of Uranium isotope decay daughters in it. This is the second sample of Cinnamon that we have detected with isotope contamination. The other sample purchased last year was imported from Europe, and only had trace amounts of a single isotope.


This sample from India has multiple isotope peak signatures in it. This is probably from soil contamination during harvesting, processing, or root uptake. K40 is radioactive Potassium which is in every living thing, Pb-214 is radioactive lead, Bi-214 is radioactive Bismuth, and Ra-226 is Radium.


Bentonite Clay Chart


This is a test of imported Bentonite clay. People are consuming Bentonite clay to remove radioactive contamination from their bodies, and for other health benefits.


The chart is of a 625 gram sample of Bentonite Clay. The peaks on the far left in this chart up to the 88 keV mark, are not from the Bentonite clay, but secondary X-ray artifacts created from background Gamma radiation passing through the lead shielding of the testing chamber.


The peak on the far right at 1460 keV is radioactive Potassium, referred to as K40. This is caused from the radiative K40 in the wooden building I did the testing in. A very small amount of K40 is in Potassium Chloride which is in pretty much every living thing.


If you look at the red highlighted peaks in this chart, the peaks indicate the presence of radioactive Radium Ra-226, Lead Pb-214 and Bi-214. Also on testing, Zeolite, also has be found to contain radioactive isotopes.


Zeolite Chart


1 kg of Zeolite was tested in a lead and copper lined test chamber. The Zeolite test showed that it had radioactive Lead and Bismuth Isotopes in it as well. It was not as radioactive as the Bentonite clay.


All soils have radioactive isotopes in them. This is what creates a lot of normal background radiation. These isotopes are created from Uranium and Thorium decay, which are present in soils. Most clays will have some radioactivity in them. That is why background radiation levels in a brick and tile house, are greater than a wooden one.


The second green marker in the Zeolite chart marks the largest peak for radioactive Lead Pb-212, and the second blue marker is Bismuth Bi-214, found in the Zeolite test.


People are taking Zeolite and Bentonite clay to remove radioactivity from their bodies, when they already have radioactive isotopes in them. OK, they only take a small amount at a time, so maybe it doesn't matter? The benefits may out way the risks?


There is a big difference between using these items for environmental clean up or as a mud pack, to ingesting them. After testing and getting these results the big question are.

Is it a risk or an advantage to take these substances internally?


Do they actually remove radioactive contamination from a persons body as claimed?


Are the radioactive isotopes in them being absorbed when they pass through the digestive system?


It is generally agreed that consuming radioactive, or stable lead is not a good thing!


This type of testing only shows the radioactive isotopes that emit Gamma radiation in the samples. There may be stable lead and other heavy metal contamination also present.

After testing, I personally would not ingest these substances without a lot of further research, showing that they are actually doing something positive.


Bentonite Clay and Zeolite need further testing by others with this sort of equipment, to verify this. Note, samples mined from other locations may test differently.


Peaks in these charts are relative to the quantity of the samples used, plus the length of time the testing took. You will need to get an understanding of this to fully interpret the testing results from this equipment.


For instance, the peaks in the chart from the sample of radium on the clock dial that weighs a fraction of a gram, were very large. The Bentonite clay and Zeolite samples were 625 grams and 1 Kg. These are much larger test samples of material. They were also tested over a longer period of time. You need to take into account, time, distance and quantity, to make a proper assessment of the results. The radioactivity detected in the Bentonite clay and Zeolite samples were very much smaller than the radium clock dial!


Brazil Nuts Chart


Radioactive isotopes were found in Brazil nuts purchased at the local supermarket. See attached chart. The chart shows radioactive lead isotopes are present. The second green peak marker in the chart is at 241 keV and other peaks at 295, 351, are the markers for radioactive lead. Then the other largest peak is for Bismuth 214 at 609 etc. The large blue coloured peak is the secondary X-rays, a product of a test chamber not being lined with copper, and the smaller blue coloured peak is Potassium K40 in my natural background. These results suggest this contamination is not from Fukushima because of the presents of Bismuth 214.


Information on Brazil nuts.,


1. Brazil nut trees produce fruit almost exclusively in pristine forests.


2. The fruit takes 14 months to mature after pollination of the flowers.


3. Around 20,000 tons of Brazil nuts are harvested each year, of which Bolivia accounts for about 50%, Brazil 40% and Peru 10% (2000 estimates).


If I can detect radioactive Lead and Bismuth in Brazil nuts at these levels, it  suggests there must also be levels of stable lead present. I have taken Brazil nuts off my diet. If I had detected this in any other food, I would do the same.


It has been known for a long time that Brazil nut trees are bio-accumulating radium that can be found in most soils, because of their very deep root systems.


I was under the impression until I tested them, that the higher radioactivity in Brazil nuts was just caused by the extra concentration of natural occurring K40 in them like a Banana. It appears that it has been known for a long time that they also contained radioactive Lead and Bismuth.

Quote,


"It's believed Brazil nuts have 1,000 times more radium than the next most radioactive food. While extensive studies have yet to be conducted, the amount of radiation in a Brazil nut is still small when compared to radiation encountered in everyday life, and it's not believed to pose any serious health risk, regardless of the quantities ingested."


If I can detect radioactive Lead and Bismuth in Brazil nuts it also suggests there must also be levels of stable lead also present. Personal choice, I have taken Brazil nuts off my diet. If I had detected this isotopes at these levels in any other food I would do the same.

Brazil nuts need further testing by others with this sort of equipment, to verify this. Note, samples harvested from different locations may test differently.
