Calif. Public Utilities Commission brings it to the plate - [View all]
As of April 27th. the CPUC is issuing guidelines that favor the customers in Southern Calif and San Diego.
Smart meters are understood by activists to contain the same type of radio frequency radiation that Dr Neil Cherry spent so much of his life trying to warn us about.

However, there are too many studies, including WHOs designation of it as a carcinogen, which show (even as it becomes so ubiquitous in our society) that radio frequency electromagnetic radiation may have adverse health effects.
As the late Dr. Neil Cherry has said in a radio interview Our brain is an electromagnetic organ. [In] our central nervous system, every cell communicates with its neighbors to see how they are by using electromagnetic signals. One effect RF electromagnetic radiation can have is to disrupt the calcium ions in our brains. Says Dr. Cherry calcium ions control the neurotransmitters in the brain. . . If you expose the brain to these frequencies-you alter the calcium ionsyou alter the brain patterns."
Thats what Ross Adey in California showed; repeated by the EPA; Carl Blackman; and its been repeated in about 10 or 12 laboratories in the worldthat calcium ions are changed by these signals. Thats pretty well established. Frequencies match and cells react and change the behavior which changes the brain pattern, the reaction time.

I was fortunate to spend most of one day with Dr Cherry back in the early nineties. He had come to San Francisco to help activists there complain about the installation of new cell phone antennae in their neighborhoods. At that point in time, the cell phone industry spokespeople were telling the public: The only thing this radiation can do is cause brain tumors. Which are usually benign, and so nothing to really worry about." (I have no idea why they said this out loud, but they did. The industry has finally wised up - they will no longer admit to the RF electro magnetic radiation and brain tumor connection.)
So one activist took to the mike at the community informational meeting. She explained that her living so close to the Tower was the cause of her illness. And yes, her brain tumor was benign, but it had affected her speech. Then while she was on the operating table having said tumor removed, she had a heart attack.
