"A technology that I had once thought was harmless, it turns out to be harmful so I'm here to tell you what that harm is."    Dr. Kent Chamberlin is chair and a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the University of New Hampshire.  In this Patreon presentation, Chamberlin discusses how the telecom industry fights against any limitations to its wireless infrastructure, the FCC's unprotective safety standards, and why our regulatory agencies don't do more to protect the public.    Chamberlin was appointed in 2019 by the university system chancellor to serve on the New Hampshire 5G Commission. The commission was formed by legislation passed by the state assembly. The 12-person commission met for a year to review the science and to speak to outside experts.    Chamberlin said all the presenters except one provided clear evidence that wireless radiation posed a threat to human health and the environment. The presenter who did not acknowledge those risks was the presenter from the telecom industry. That presenter was also the only person paid to present to the commission.    The commission concluded in its report that 5G poses a significant risk to health and the environment. Three commission members dissented, including the two commissioners who were representing the telecommunications industry and state Sen. James Gray.    Nonetheless, the majority of the commission developed a list of recommendations, including establishing a 500-meter setback for the installation of cell towers. A setback law is designed to protect the people from wireless radiation exposure from cell towers, It would mean more costs to the telecom industry to position towers out of harm's way.     Legislation has been written to implement the commission's recommendations but it won't be voted on until fall 2022. Chamberlin calls it an uphill battle because of telecom's deep pockets and its threats to challenge lawmakers who vote against the wireless industry.     In the meantime, telecom continues to argue that the health impacts are not attributable to the wireless infrastructure despite hundreds of studies showing a relationship. Chamberlin says telecom is counting on the public shrugging at the experiences of those who are electro hypersensitive since many of the onset symptoms are common — nausea, headaches, fatigue, insomnia, memory loss, confusion, and weakness. Studies show that ongoing exposure to electromagnetic fields may cause more serious issues, like the creation of radical oxidative stress in the body that could lead to other diseases.     "You're probably going, 'Wow this is serious stuff. How come we don't know about it?'" Chamberlin said. "You would expect this to be on the front page of newspapers but please consider where does a lot of the advertising revenue come from? For many news outlets, who advertises a huge amount? You know, the companies, the telecom industries. So apparently from what I've seen, news outlets are very unwilling to bite the hand that feeds them."

Rose Madrone was asked how she can make a difference and she had to think long and hard about it? Then she realized that she could show how one person's impact creates a chain reaction. So she started working on "Connectivity Project," a film on the ripple effect of our actions. Ironically, the 10-year effort to make the project was a ripple effect of its own. Everytime the project seemed dead, something happened to give it new life until the film was fully realized.  Madrone fell into the moviemaking business. She was a botanist, which lent to her interest in interconnectedness after spending years working on hybrids and blending of herbals. But she was able to assemble a crew.   Don't think you have much effect on the environment? Connectivity Project demonstrates how birds, bees, and butterflies — indeed everything in the natural world — are related and how a swell of individual voices can create a movement for change.

Soozie Eastman became a guinea pig so that you don't have to. The "Overload" director put herself through four rounds of blood tests and a 30-day detox to learn what happens when the body is cleaned of some of the thousands of chemicals that end up in it — from the first day of life!  Even as someone who was paying attention to what she put in her body, Eastman said she felt like she didn't have the information she needed to make some critical decisions before starting a family.   So she gave away a lot of her blood and spent $12,000 on lab diagnostics to test her levels for 419 of the most commonly used chemicals. Many of these chemicals are parabens and phthalates, the products that go into fragrances, plastics, and cosmetics. Then there are the toxins that end up in the environment around us, whether through manufacturing of carpets, wall paint, and pesticides.   Spanning a timeframe that included a pre-discovery period and a 30-day detox, and a post-detox follow-up, Eastman tested again and again. Not only did she learn that some toxins can quickly be cleaned from the body — and chemical levels can go up as toxins prepare to exit the body — but ​that consumers do have a little bit of control over their choices. Eastman found that a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel is not an oncoming train. Consumers can focus not just on their one-time cleanse but also on their consumer power and make informed decisions about what they bring into their homes, put on their bodies, and feed themselves and their families.  And the cherry on top: Living a greener life or a little bit leaner is not nearly as expensive as the consumer products industry would have you believe. In fact, alternatives to common household products are very similar in price.   Doctors say 80 percent of our illnesses are tied to environmental causes, which can be a very scary situation. "While documentaries are fascinating, they sometimes can leave many people feeling a little hopeless, overwhelmed, or frustrated about what to do. Overload" is a fun film to watch despite the challenging subject.  It is hightly empowering and Eastman's story offers a toolkit for people to follow so they can become advocates for themselves without the feeling of gloom and doom.  In this Q&A, Eastman suggests starting by picking one silo of exposure — bathroom products, cleaners, makeup, or wherever is easiest for you — and tackling the products list one at a time. You don't even have to throw away the bad products. You already purcahsed them and the landfill doesn't need them. Finish them up and then make a clean start with each replacement. Over time, the changes add up and your body will feel the difference.  Skip doing your own laboratory tests or spending a fortune to learn what your levels are. Hear from Eastman in this Q&A, watch "Overload," and learn what you can change for yourself!  Start by making smarter decisions at whatever level is comfortable for you.

“Every day lost, every excuse invoked, every tactic invented only increases the damage to human life, to the environment and to the generations who will have to fix the broken pieces.” Documentary filmmaker Pascal Gélinas wrote these heart-wrenching words to his grandson in a public letter released in November 2020. These words are the concluding statements that followed a long, detailed description of the biological effects of RF-EMF that Gélinas has been documenting and sharing with his many followers. The consequences that accompany the so-called “advancements” of 5G have been largely ignored by both the U.S. and Canadian governments despite ample up-to-date science linking RF-EMF radiation to effects on humans as well as on birds, bees, and trees. EHT founder Devra Davis recently described how the technological push toward 5G has been provoked by unnecessary geopolitical and ecological gamesmanship — a game with no victor, and certainly no eye toward public health. In this Silver Patreon event, Gélinas, Davis, and Fauteux discussed why this rejection of sound science continues and the “malpractice” committed by federal agencies for their refusal to address public health concerns. They also evaluated priorities for the incoming Biden administration, including appointing independent commissioners to the FCC, requesting a National Academy of Science committee review of the science underlying 5G, and identifying major data gaps and uncertainties about the economic efficiency of 5G. They also discussed the new film, Prisons Without Bars, a documentary produced by Gélinas’ wife Nicole Giguère about electromagnetic hypersensitivity.

About “COMPLICIT”  Yi Yeting’s brave fight to expose the dangers from cell phone manufacturing in China’s largest factory is documented by Heather White in the film “COMPLICIT.” In this lush and moving documentary, White and co-directer Lynn Zhang trace the journey by millions of young people from China’s farmlands to its electronics factory floors. The search for a better life is elusive to many of these workers, who must cope with work-related illnesses in a country without medical benefits or workers compensation.  “COMPLICIT” details dozens of stories of young workers who became ill at their jobs, the Chinese government’s shuttering of worker advocacy offices, and the growing movement outside China to protect exposed workers. It documents the government’s efforts to isolate protagonist Yi as he reveals the truth behind the dangers that lie in the production of the world’s computers and cell phones.  First released in 2017, “COMPLICIT” has been screened at 40 film festivals and has won nine international festival awards. Shortly after the documentary’s release, Apple agreed to ban the use of benzene and n-hexane in its cellular phone production, but do these factories continue to ignore Chinese regulations, which are rarely enforced?

Devra Davis combines her deep personal connection to issues of health and the environment with her formidable scientific expertise, arguing for fundamentally new ways of thinking about health and the environment. Before she became one of the world’s leading epidemiologists, Davis was the victim of environmental pollution. As a young girl in Donora, Pennsylvania, she saw 20 of her home town community members die and scores permanently injured in the smog disaster of October 26th, 1948. In her new landmark book, When Smoke Ran Like Water, Devra Davis documents how environmental toxins contribute to a broad spectrum of diseases. The book’s title alludes to an event 50 years ago in London. Davis writes that “cool air from across the English Channel settled over the Thames River Valley and did not move. London’s eight million residents huddled indoors and warmed themselves by their coal stoves. Smoke ran like tap water from a million chimneys.” The inversion layer that had formed over the English capital trapped the coal smoke at ground level. The result was smog so thick that people could not find their own homes, automobile traffic ground to a halt, and people died in droves. The smog is now estimated to have killed some 12,000 people.
