How to Protect Ourselves and Our Growing Children From Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs): NY Open Center –Friday, November 15th, 7-10 pm


How to Protect Ourselves and Our Growing Children From Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs)

NY Open Center –Friday, November 15th, 7-10 pm

  • Attention parents, teachers, and school administrators: an important NYC children’s health event is coming up on Nov. 15.
  • The NY Open Center will host a program on cell phone and wireless risks, with a special emphasis on children, and a focus on how to minimize these risks.
  • Leading experts from across the U.S. will address 1) the science behind EMFs, 2) health and clinical implications, 3) important concerns for children, fetuses, and fertility and 4) EMF assessment methods and remediation possibilities.
  • Columbia University’s Dr. Martin Blank, Ph.D. will discuss the DNA implications of blanketing ourselves and our children 24/7 in the wireless fields emitted by cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, wireless tablets and computers, and neighborhood antennas.
  • REGISTER at the NY Open Center Website or call (212) 219-2527, Ext.  2.   Early bird tickets $40 Members/$50 Non-Members by Nov. 1.
NY Open Center –Friday, November 15th, 7-10 p.m.
Children’s mental health, learning capacity, biology, physical health, and genetic material are being impacted by the widespread presence of electromagnetic fields from cell phones, routers, tablets, wireless computers, neighborhood antennas, and other electronics in our environment.

Join us at the NY Open Center on Friday, November 15th from 7-10 pm to learn how to create electromagnetically clean environments that support the health of your family.

Quotes from Leading Environmentally Aware Physicians & Scientists:

“Unlike chemical exposures or mold, with electromagnetic fields there is nothing to see or smell to warn a person there may be harm. Learning to measure electromagnetic fields and to remediate are essential for patients. I am encouraging my patients to attend The Open Center event November 15, 2013 so they can learn ways to create EMF-free home environments and minimize ‘2nd hand’ wireless radiation exposures.”

Electromagnetic fields from cell phones and wireless technologies create disharmony in the body and mind, and should be minimized by people seeking wellness. The radiation is a stressor. The erratic nature of the various frequencies is biologically disruptive, interfering with the natural processes that maintain balance and efficient cellular communication. Diseases and health challenges of many kinds have been linked to the radiation. The constant stimuli of non-stop online communication is also leading to technology addictions, underdeveloped interpersonal skills, shallow and disjointed experiences of life, and even brain damage, such as the stunning new condition, “digital dementia’’, in children. I recommend health conscious New Yorkers attend the Open Center’s program November 15, 2013 to learn how to minimize these exposures.”

“The human brain is especially susceptible to numerous environmental insults that can produce irreversible damage during critical periods of nervous system development between conception and full maturity. A number of peer-reviewed studies reported changes in the nervous systems of rats, mice and humans following exposure to cell phone radiation. These include diminished learning, diminished reaction time, decreased motor function, reduced memory accuracy, hyperactivity and diminished cognition.”

“Sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation is the emerging health problem of the 21st century.  It is imperative health practitioners, governments, schools and parents learn more about it. The human health stakes are significant”

“Electromagnetic pollution is one of the most important health issues of our day, causing acute and chronic health problems in more and more people. Doctors in the NY metropolitan area should attend the upcoming program at the NY Open Center, and learn from experts about this emerging public health issue.”
Amy Dean, DO, FAAEMPresident, American Academy of Environmental Medicine

The American Academy of Pediatrics “urges the FCC to adopt radiation standards" that 1) protect children's health and well-being from radiation emitted by cell phones and other wireless devices; 2) reflect how people actually use their cell phones; and 3) provide sufficient information that enables consumers to make informed decisions when they purchase mobile phones.

“Cells in the body react to EMFs as potentially harmful, just like to other environmental toxins, including heavy metals and toxic chemicals.  The DNA in living cells recognizes electromagnetic fields at very low levels of exposure; and produces a biochemical stress response.  The scientific evidence tells us that our safety standards are inadequate, and that we must protect ourselves from exposure to EMF due to power lines, cell phones and the like, or risk the known consequences. The science is very strong and we should sit up and pay attention.”

“The scientific evidence is sufficiently robust showing that cellular devices pose significant health risks to children and pregnant women...The weight of the evidence supports stronger precautionary regulation by the federal government…The cellular industry should take immediate steps to reduce emission of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from phones and avoid marketing their products to children.”

“There is no question EMFs have a major effect on neurological functioning. They slow our brain waves and affect our long-term mental clarity. We should minimize exposures as much as possible to optimize neurotransmitter levels and prevent deterioration of health”.

“Our recent 4-year monitoring of effects from cell phone radiation on children, demonstrates an increase in phonemic perception disorders, abatement of efficiency, reduced indicators for the arbitrary and semantic memory, and increased fatigue. Over the four-year monitoring of 196 children ages 7-12 who were users of mobile communication devices, a steady decline in these parameters from high values to bottom standards, compared to controls, was observed.

“The number of children being diagnosed with autism doubles every 5 years now. We have an epidemic of chronic infections and chronic neurological illnesses, like Parkinson’s, MS, ALS, autism, learning disabilities in children, behavioral problems in children—its all exploding exponentially and the only thing that parallels this growth is growth in exposures to cell phone radiation, the tetra network police are using, the new radiating smart meters and the wide range of wireless devices in the home today, such as wireless computers, portable phones and tablets, but also home appliances. We are making ourselves sick by ignorantly blanketed ourselves in this radiation, at the expense of both individual and societal health. It is time to take stock of the mistakes being made and courageously change course."

“Current US and ICNIRP standards for radiofrequency and microwave radiation from wireless technologies are entirely inadequate. They never were intended to address the kind of exposures from wireless devices that now affect over 4 billion people.”  Watch full Seletun Scientific Statement by Dr. Johansson here.

“Research we reviewed and subsequent research both strongly suggest that the current standards for cell phone radiation are not adequate to protect us from health risks associated with exposure to cell phone radiation… A 31-member group of experts convened by the World Health Organization agreed with our conclusions and classified cell phone radiation a “possible carcinogen”…We need more research that is independent of the wireless industry’s influence. The Federal government needs to sponsor a major research initiative on the health effects of electromagnetic radiation.”
