Why isn't mainstream media looking into health concerns of 5G?

5G planet
If you don't live under a rock, you've probably heard Verizon or AT&T commercials where they talk about the future with 5G with amazing download speed and all the other "benefits." Yet we don't hear them mention anything about health issues concerning 5G since it's frequency is much higher than previous generation cell services. I had heard things before about the dangers of 5G, but I recently delve down the rabbit hole and it irks me that very large corporations will simply push harmful tech on to people in the name of profit.

I read a phenomenal article that was backed up by peer reviewed sources the other day that really opened my eyes to the dangers of 5G. 5G or Fifth Generation like previous generations emit Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation, which is what makes them dangerous. One of the most concerning things about 5G is that since it has shorter wave length it has less capability to penetrate objects, thus mini cell towers will have to be placed much closer, estimating a tower every 2-8 houses. Where 1G, 2G, 3G, & 4G operate between 1-5 gigahertz (GHz), 5G operates between 24-90 GHz. Here is the difference between 4G & 5G shown below in the diagram.

Comment: The dangers of 5G wireless technology are massively downplayed in the mainstream media, yet the science is very concerning. By the time people wake up to the health concerns, every corner of the earth will already be bathed in this damaging radiation and there will be nowhere to hide.

Jessica Biel joins anti-vaccine activist RFK Jr. to lobby against California pro-vaccination bill

On Wednesday, actress Jessica Biel came out as an "anti-vaxx activist," as The Daily Beast put it, joining anti-vaccination crusader Robert Kennedy Jr. at the California legislature to lobby against a bill that would make it harder to opt out of vaccinating children for medical reasons. This wasn't an activity Biel's publicist highlighted.


Comment: Funny that in the next paragraph RFK describes Biel as "for safe vaccines and for medical freedom," yet the first line of the piece calls her "an anti-vaxx activist". Talk about hyperbole.


Comment: Yep, just another Hollywood crazy like Jenny McCarthy. There couldn't possibly be a legitimate reason to want safer vaccinations and to prevent the erosion of medical exemptions from vaccination.

Hollywood dystopia? Sir Peter Jackson and James Cameron team up to promote meatless future

Sir Peter Jackson and James Cameron have collaborated on several initiatives over the years.
The bromance between two Hollywood heavyweights has led to a project that could change the future of Kiwi farming.

Avatar director James Cameron and Hobbit director Sir Peter Jackson have joined forces to create a "plant-based" food business.

Rumours about the secret venture have swirled for two years, but the pair has remained tight-lipped until now.

Comment: What a load of rubbish. It reads like a dystopian future envisioned in a Hollywood script. Either the two directors have drunk the kool aid of the environmentalist nut-jobs (likely), they're capitalizing on current trends to try to make a buck (also likely) or they're actually 'part of the team' and playing an active role in social engineering for the future. None of these are mutually exclusive, of course.

Cheap vitamin C brings hospital patients back from the brink of death by sepsis

Hospital patients dying of organ failure from serious infections are walking out of the jaws of death time after time thanks to courageous individuals who refused to accept the status quo failing treatments. Instead, thinking outside the box to what will become a revolution in disease care management. More about that after a few statistics to show what a big deal this really is.

Severe sepsis, resulting from infection, has become a national epidemic. It's the most expensive condition treated in US hospitals. It is among the leading causes of hospital deaths, striking more than a million Americans every year from which 15-30% die.

Sepsis carried an annual cost of $24 billion in 2013 and is on the rise at $3.4 billion over the last two years, partially a result of antibiotic resistance.

At highest risk for sepsis deaths are infants, children and the elderly; and those who recover are at higher risk of future infections.

Thankfully, we are shifting into a new standard of care for infectious disease management, albeit not without resistance. The present system focuses on destroying the invading bacteria (antibiotics) and viruses (antivirals), while the new approach focuses on strengthening resistance to such infections. This is done by supporting the immune system through supplying increased amounts of nutrient substances normally present in the body and needed to facilitate the biochemical processes that destroy invading organisms.

Objective:Health #19 - ADHD - Childhood Epidemic or Pharmaceutical Scam?

O:H header
ADHD is a controversial subject. While the psychiatric industry would have you believe that ADHD is a legitimate diagnosis, the truth is much more surprising.

In order to determine whether a child, or adult, has ADHD, only a vague set of parameters need to be met before medication is prescribed (and many of these parameters also describe normal childhood behavior). There are no brain scans, blood tests or hard scientific analyses associated with ADHD, only a checklist, subject to the biases of the psychiatrist or medical doctor. Possible causes of behavior issues are not considered and once a diagnosis is made, medication is the next step.

Even more problematic are that the drugs prescribed for ADHD are dangerous, and not only due to its side effects. Even when working properly, ADHD medications crush the creative spirit of children, turning them into obsessively obedient automatons. Being prescribed powerful, mind-altering psychotropic medications in childhood, when the brain is still developing, sets them up for a lifetime of problems. The fact that the medications are addictive is also problematic, to say the least.

Join us on this episode of Objective: Health as we look into the terrifying world of ADHD. What are we doing to our kids?

The real gender gap is in heart disease

Because I'm that guy, I took a poll at the recent family barbecue.

"Heart disease - who has it worse? Men or women?" I asked. The answers came quickly. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law said, "Women." My father-in-law, arms crossed, said confidently, "Men."

My mother-in-law remembered hearing about how heart disease affected women more than men during the February American Heart Association (AHA) "Go Red for Women" campaign. Apparently, the message wasn't heard by the men at this family gathering. They were moved by stories of men - fathers, brothers, friends - they knew who died from heart disease. We are taught that facts should trump feelings, evidence should trump anecdotes, and at first glance it would appear the men are too in touch with their feelings.

corn borer

Farmers in Nova Scotia have found that the European corn borer has developed resistance to the GM trait designed to kill it

In Nova Scotia, corn farmers are observing that the European corn borer, an insect pest, has developed resistance to the genetically engineered (genetically modified or GM) trait designed to kill it.

This is the first report in the world of the European corn borer (ECB) developing resistance to a genetically engineered trait used to confer insect resistance. It is also the first report in Canada of any insect pest developing resistance to a genetically engineered trait. The development of resistance in other insect pests targeted by Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) traits in corn has been observed in the US, South Africa and Brazil.(2) Additionally, in the US and other countries, some cotton pests have also developed resistance to Bt cotton traits.

How modern life is transforming the human skeleton

From the emergence of a spiky growth at the back of some people's skulls to the enigmatic finding that our elbows are getting narrower, our bones are changing in surprising ways

It all started with a goat. The unfortunate animal was born in the Netherlands in the spring of 1939 - and his prospects did not look good. On the left side of his body, a bare patch of fur marked the spot where his front leg should have been. On the right, his front leg was so deformed, it was more of a stump with a hoof. Walking on all fours was going to be, let's say, problematic.

But when he was three months old, the little goat was adopted by a veterinary institute and moved to a grassy field. There he quickly improvised his own peculiar style of getting around. Pushing his back feet forwards, he would draw himself up until he was standing half-upright on his hind legs, and jump. The end result was somewhere between the hop of a kangaroo and a hare, though presumably not quite as majestic.

Medical police state in action: AMA votes to allow minors to override parental objection to vaccines

Members of the American Medical Association voted this week to support state policies that would allow minors to override their parents' objections to vaccinations.

Moving forward, the AMA will encourage state lawmakers to institute comprehensive vaccine and minor consent policies, according to a news release. The policy recommendation came Monday during the group's annual meeting in Chicago.

This decision comes as the anti-vaccination movement gains strength nationwide and public health officials blame outbreaks in diseases including measles on fewer people getting vaccinated.

"The prevalence of unvaccinated pediatric patients is troubling to physicians," AMA board member Dr. S. Bobby Mukkamala said in the release. "Many children go unvaccinated as anti-vaccine-related messages and advertisements target parents with misinformation. Allowing mature minors to provide informed consent to vaccinations will ensure these patients can access this type of preventive care."

Comment: And just who decides what constitutes a 'mature minor'? There's a reason children aren't allowed to make life-changing decisions - they don't necessarily have the information or mental capacity to comprehend all the factors impacting such decisions. Increasingly the state has been encroaching on parents rights, endangering children in the process, and it's clear this law is intended to allow medical and school personnel to persuade (or frighten) vulnerable children.

Statin Nation: How the 'most profitable drug ever created' is damaging the health of millions

Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, a general practitioner in Cheshire, England, is the author of three books. I've previously interviewed him about "Doctoring Data: How to Sort Out Medical Advice From Medical Nonsense." Here, we discuss his latest work, "A Statin Nation: Damaging Millions in a Brave New Post-Health World," which addresses the challenges with this conventional approach to heart disease prevention.

This is his second book on the topic of cholesterol. In the first one, "The Great Cholesterol Con: The Truth About What Really Causes Heart Disease and How to Avoid It," published a decade ago, he addressed the basis behind the cholesterol controversy. "A Statin Nation" is basically a follow-up to that book, as many things have changed over the past 10 years.
