Radio Frequency Radiation

Thinking about microwaves

I was talking with an EMF researcher yesterday (nobody we know) and it struck me how differently I think about Microwaves by comparison with how others think about Microwaves.

In January 1965, fifty years ago, I built a very sensitive 'microwave' radio transceiver and, together with Rick Mathews and a two other radio amateurs at Cape Jervis, we set an Australian long-distance record for Microwave radio transmission. At that time, 576MHz was the highest frequency which electronic circuitry (as distinct from Magnetrons and etc) could reach. To achieve this record we had to figure out how the waves travelled through the air, reflected off objects (particularly the sea which was between our locations) in addition to designing the best equipment to generate and launch them.

So I tend to break an Electromagnetic problem down into segments. In this case we have the biological system (molecules and cells) which is being affected. This is sitting in the brain, a semi-fluid medium of tissue encased in bone and skin. It is attached to a semi-fluid body by a plethora of partially conducting nerves, sinews and bone. An incident electromagnetic wave has to penetrate the fluid in order to reach the nerves.

So I initially assumed that the spine, where nerves are most exposed, would be most sensitive in EHS. Imagine my surprise when I ran the first 27MHz CWS unit up the back of my body, from toes to head, and found that the only significant response I was getting was when the unit was near my head. The spine does not seem to factor into whatever causes EHS.

The next thing which is different about this community's approach is our use of measurements - of numbers. Other researchers, including professionals, are very lackadaisical about actually measuring the RF environment to quantify the nature of the environmental signals. Two things are important, the amplitude, and the frequency. Another factor, TEM vs Capacitive waves, is too complex for us to contemplate right now.

I am not prepared to use fabrics which do not have a good shielding performance. That is a waste of time, as it confuses the outcome by the introduction of half-measures. If the body's response is graded in any way – dependent on amplitude or frequency – then using a fabric like “Swiss Shield,” which fails to shield at the very Microwave frequencies where we know sensitivity occurs, is only going to confuse.

See how the performance of Swiss-Shield rapidly drops at about 700MHz, exactly the lowest cell-phone frequencies, and is not even plotted at 4G or WiFi frequencies. Additionally it is insulating – it can't be hemmed into a seam which conducts electricity – so there is no possibility of sewing a Faraday Shield.

The very first protective hat which Liz sewed for me was placed on a hollow plastic head, an RFexplorer was placed inside the head, and I radiated the hat from front and rear to try and define what I was dealing with. Another way we use measurements, rather than relying on instinct.

Good Science requires both opportunistic chance observations, and careful follow-up. Yesterday I was admonished for concentrating too much on the follow-up, rather than “listening to my body.” But when it is the brain which is being affected, are we really able to objectively perceive anything? IMO there has to be follow-up measurement and understanding. ImmunopathologyA temporary increase in disease symptoms experienced by Marshall Protocol patients that results from the release of cytokines and endotoxins as disease-causing bacteria are killed. makes perception even harder - actually reducing the shielding might make us feel better (in the short-term).

I hope that explains my slow and methodical approach to EMF remediation. So let's look at 'bloc-bags.' Well, first, as the graph demonstrates, the fabric from which the bag is constructed will fail to shield the important cell-phone, DECT and WiFi frequencies. It provides some protection, but the non-conductive seams mean that there can be no certainty that any particular use of the bag in any particular environment is going to shield its occupant from incoming radiation.

I have assumed from day-1 that our job is to get rid of all radiation incident on the tissues of the brain. The CWS told us that the brain was exquisitely sensitive to low level signals. We discovered that that getting rid of the waves entirely seems to cause immunopathology, especially in those of us who are most affected. But we know how to deal with immunopathology, we can work through it. Which is what I have been doing these past 6 months. And it does disappear with the passage of time, at least for me. So my focus remains - total shielding of the important tissues - an approach which will work in any environment.

I am sitting typing this in a special 'hoodie' made out of the same lightweight fabric we used for the 'sleeping hats.' It provides an almost total shield for the upper half of the body. Liz also made me a bag which covers the lower half of the body. This combination will shield the body tissues to the same, or better, degree than if the fabric had been made into a whole-body bag. Yet it is much more flexible, and it can be worn under other clothing. I have only been using this 'hoodie' for 2 days, and I cannot give any final conclusions yet, except to say that it confirms what I have been thinking - that shielding the entire upper part of the body does make a difference beyond just shielding the head, but it is not a big difference.

Both the commercial hoodies are a waste of time. I bought the yShield, it degraded to no-conductivity in just a few uses. The Silverell fabric provides only 20dB (or so) of shielding. That gets you from -40dBm to -60dBm. But you need to be at -80dBm :X

I have personally found no benefit at all from shielding the legs, which is what I would expect when looking at the geometry of how the microwaves hit the body, and are conducted through the torso. At least there are neurons in the GI tract, and shielding them might be expected to possibly have some effect. But the legs - no rationale at all. Perhaps Mike is having a local reaction with his knots - but only time will tell.

The number-1 thing that each of us has to do is to reduce our exposure to cell-phones. WiFi routers and DECT phones should be retired immediately. I have made some suggestions about controlling WiFi signal strengths in cases where members of our family don't yet realize how important it is to use wired ethernet connections to their phones and tablets.

My cell phone, a Galaxy Note, gets its internet via USB-cable, reverse-tethering to my computer. Liz's Nexus 7 has a wired ethernet dongle on it. I have an app in my phone to connect to Google Voice over data, when I am traveling. Our home telephones all use wired Google-Voice or VOIP. There is a wire between the physical phones in the front and back offices. All the ethernet cable running through the building is shielded. Computers are shielded-laptops, every wire sprouts ferrite cores. Stetzerisers are everywhere, and our switching power supplies have mostly been trashed. yShield paint protects the Office and the Bedroom.

In short, I feel I have now controlled the immediate environment. Now I can look more closely at levels close to the threshold of measurement - around -80dBm. And there is no doubt that parts of the innate immune system are being activated when waves are totally removed. This was the correct course of action. I have confidence that I now can explain what has been happening to slow the MP healing of some of our members, and that we will be able to figure out what to do about it.

EMF Issues

Why is it important?

Bioeffects are significant, even for those that can't perceive their effects. Immune functions are slowly degraded, leading to premature aging.

A new article “Is cell phone radiation really harmless?” is quite well-written. Sadly it still focuses on cancer risks, rather than on EEG or immune risks, and only two cancers, at that. But it is worth a close read, and it is worthwhile showing to skeptics, as it points out that 50% is not “no evidence” :)

Quantum criticality

Most molecules in living things signal and synchronize due to quantum criticality:

“biomolecules exist in a state of quantum criticality, poised at the edge between quantum and classical behavior. They rightfully, and correctly in my view, suggest this quantum critical feature is relevant to the fundamental nature of life”

“artificial quantum systems are plagued by thermal and electromagnetic interactions with their environments, disrupting quantum states and causing 'decoherence'

EM interactions? Really?

Quantum criticality in Life's proteins

When molecules interact they emit small puffs of quantum energy. Enough puffs might well push other molecules over their critical point.

My final slide in St Petersburg offers evidence that this is what we are looking at - EM interactions shape the fundamental nature of life…

Keithw said I have a the “WiFi analyser” app on my phone, it can pick up a signal from various neighbours WiFi 30 - 50 yards away.

This is available to everyone with a mobile phone for free and while perhaps not useful for collecting specific data it would make exactly the point in a shopping centre even if it doesn't beep or flash lights. Think passive smoking, bio hazard or even radiation leak, there are some places people shouldn't go and this is a free tool to help you identify such places.

Mitigation

How Ferrites Can Prevent and Eliminate RF Interference

Is one ferrite core per cord usually enough, even if it has many turns? Or the more ferrite cores per cord the better?

Are they also recommended on ethernet cables, or just on power cables?

Usually one at each end is the best plan.

Use them on Ethernet and USB cables. Anything linking noisy equipment. They isolate the high frequency components so they don't travel along the cable.

USB dongles can sometimes be quite noisy.

Along with enough Stetzerizers, and the use of a GS meter to identify noisy appliances, power systems can be made quite clean this way.

Wwhen you get to microwave frequencies above 600MHz the wavelengths are very short (less than half a metre) and even an inch or two of wire radiates a significant signal. So the multiple turns really only help at the lowest RF frequencies, where they help a lot. At cell phone frequencies (700MHz - 5,000MHz) ferrites are of limited usefulness, as the signal has already radiated from the cable in the region of the plug, and not even reached the ferrite bead.

Running a wire (a USB cord, for example) through a ferrite 3 or 4 times increases its impedance at lower RF frequencies (say 1-10MHz) by 10 times. But the ferrite has little effect by the time we hit the microwave frequencies.

1. At low frequencies - discard noisy equipment and power supplies 2. Use stetzerisers for 2KHz to 100KHz noise 3. Use ferrite beads for 1MHz to 100MHz (where many LED lamps radiate) 4. Use shielding against microwaves.

materials for various components of emf reduction

Some observations…

+ Soft N Safe : A bamboo fabric with silver thread woven into it that has a soft hand feel and seems to shield signals from some frequencies better than others. (see this for details of a similar material: https://www.lessemf.com/fabric1.html#1231). The material I used was a custom version where the fabric is black. We are not sure about durability for this material.

+ Staticot : A cotton/polyester blend fabric with microfine stainless steel fibers (see this for details: https://www.lessemf.com/fabric1.html#1232). I liked this for a sleeping tent because it has more structural stability (on the floor of the tent), has a pleasant color (spring green) and is very durable.

+ 78#B : This is the fabric we used for the SLEEPING CAPS. A bamboo fabric with silver thread that has a lighter weight and greater durability than Soft N Safe. This fabric is one of the best for shielding the range of frequencies needed for recovery.

+ #92 : This fabric is a silver 4 way stretch knit that is less durable than 78#B and yet has been found to be very comfortable for daily wear. It performs the best of all the fabrics for shielding over the whole range of frequencies we have been able to test. It does not provide as good of structural support on the floor when used as a tent.

+ AtticFoil (technically not a fabric) : This material provides excellent shielding performance while also being very durable. While it does have microperforations, it does not provide any ventilation, therefore another material must be used to allow a small fan to blow air into a tent made from this material. This is described here: How to make a Faraday Cage

What does 'underdamped' mean, and why is it important?

If you take a pen which is sitting on your desk, and nudge it a little, it will either stay still where you nudged it to, or it will settle back into a slightly different position if, for example, you nudged it so that it was balanced on its cap, and needed to fall back flat.

When an atom is nudged in a molecule it will either stay where it ends up, or fall back into a slightly more stable location. 'Underdamped' means that it will oscillate around the stable location for a long time without actually becoming stationary there. Just like a pen will often roll-over, and roll back to a more stable position. Critically damped means that only a tiny nudge is needed to move it again, only a tiny amount of energy, as the current position is not a stable one

Lorenzo asks Yes, I read a little bit of Penrose's ideas about microtubules in the past. Interesting stuff.

That you say the brain is not wired, I can'† see how that's true?

Prof. Marshall replies Classical neurology looks at an axon as connecting two neurons, but I have seen nothing to indicate an axon is a “wire” rather than an “antenna” (or network, if you like). “Viewing neurons as computational primitives is an insult to neurons”

Lorenzo:https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/84198-bacteria-might-communicate-using-radio-waves

“The research revolves around a feature called circular DNA (DNA loops), which is found in simple organisms like viruses and bacteria. As free electrons move around these loops, a radio wave can be produced — and as quantum objects, these electrons can also take on different energy levels. It is posited that these two factors could allow bacteria to transmit radio waves at frequencies of 0.5, 1 and 1.5KHz.”

What can you expect w/ mitigation?

Ok, so I dug out my 'Naturell' tent and set it up inside the yShield painted utility room and measured the RF inside it (double shielding). Using the Cornet, antenna preamp, 2.5 GHz low pass filter, and 7 dB gain log antenna, I got a calculated -84 dBm reading which means the RF is less than -84 dBm and is out of the range of testing. Based on tested effectiveness of the tent of -20 dB and room ambient of -70 dBm I figure it is likely that inside the tent was -90 dBm.

The result of spending 2 hours in the tent was no muscle knots with a brief adjustment period of about 10 minutes after closing up the tent. This was contrary to using garments inside the utility room in that wearing the garments caused muscle knots. Even after leaving the double shielding zone, the effect lasted. later in the day I retested and got the same results. Further, right hand fingers became stiffer as they would be in the early morning.

In addition, I tried the BlocBag for sleeping in the utility room (previous test results indicated -20 dBm for the BlocBag shielding effectiveness similar to the tent), however, I couldn't fall asleep. It could be that my mind was just not used to such a low RF environment and could not adjust.

So, based on what I am seeing in an inferred -90 dBm zone, as opposed to a -70 dBm zone plus garments, what I surmise is that garments have benefit, but are not ideal for RF protection as compared to a protected zone. Furthermore, there is for me significant benefit, at least at this preliminary stage, in setting up a -90 dBm zone as muscle knots is the biggest obstacle to function.

,, it seems to me the muscle knots is not a muscle problem, but occurs when nerves are exhausted, and RF causes the nerves to become exhausted quicker. When the muscles knot up, I can reverse that with sleep in an RF quiet zone.

Step by step

Items under your control

DECT phones

Wireless monitors

Microwave ovens

Wireless routers

Wireless computers/laptops

Prof. Marshall replies Generally, smartphones control their transmit power better than dongles or laptops. But with some Windows Laptops you can turn down the transmit power to 1mW, an improvement of 20dB. If you go to the Device Manager, and select the WiFi networking adapter, eg 'Intel Centrino' there are a bunch of items you can select under the “Properties > Advanced ” tab. One is “Transmit Power, which on my laptop can be set to “lowest” value. This will not 'solve' any problems, but it is the least you can do. Make sure you always select 802.11b/g operation NEVER allow the newer 802.11n protocols)

A good cellphone will adjust its power adaptively, only using as much transmit power as is necessary to send the data. Laptops and dongles usually just send at full power all the time. So it is worth making the adjustment of a laptop's settings, if your firmware has that option.

With a remote tether (say 10ft to a Samsung phone) you can sometimes keep your transmitter radiation peaks down to the -50dBm range. That will still stop your immune system working properly, but hopefully the effects will disappear relatively rapidly (within an hour or two of quiet). It is possible to get good 'Internet speeds' over a WiFi system at levels below -85dBm, where the immune system is not affected much, but current hardware makes that very difficult to set up.

Linda J Posted: Tue Nov 3rd, 2015

CNN just posted an article titled Google, Facebook, SpaceX, OneWeb plan to beam Internet everywhere found here: satellite-drone-balloon internet

Prof. Marshall replies

“Linda, the difference between a cell-tower 300 yards away, a Google Loon balloon 20,000 yards away and a satellite 200,000 yards away is distance. The magnitude of EM radiation falls off as the square of the distance. There is another difference, a terrestial cell-tower has limitless power available to radiate, while satellite and balloon systems have to generate their power with solar arrays.

Taken together, the microwave energy falling on the earth if all these schemes are successful is perhaps a millionth of what exists in your neighborhood right now. The only system already deployed is the Google Loon Balloons, which radiate a 4G signal around -90dBm.

That is three million times less than the signal Edward Plum has on his balcony, and 100,000 less than I have outside on my own street. It is generally not enough to penetrate buildings with metal roofs or aluminum insulation.

The target we have set for a home environment is -65dBm maximum, and the balloons are still much less than this.

So although the idea of satellites blanketing the earth with microwaves might seem scary, at this point in technology the capability of coming even close to the damage being done by terrestrial cell-towers is just not there. In fact, I often argue that the Loon balloons may be a saving grace for technology, a way of delivering mobile phone signals (out-of-doors) which is relatively 'friendly' to human biology.”

Would a steel roof on your house protect from cell towers at all?

It is better than a wooden roof but the degree of shielding at microwave frequencies would depend on how well the roof panels are joined. It would have to be measured, one can't guess these things, unfortunately.

Our home has wire mesh under the stucco all around the walls, and an aluminium foil/bitumen underlay beneath (small) metal roofing tiles. The double-glazed windows absorb RF energy due to a metalized IR-attenuating design in the glass. Cell tower signal in the bedroom is about 20dB less than the level out-of-doors. Prof. Marshall

The best way to build a decent cocoon to live in, is to build one with built-in wall, floor and ceiling shielding, so a new home is a real opportunity. But professionals typically don't understand what they are trying to achieve “ If it is a new house it is reasonably straight-forward to shield the whole house by using outside walls of material which includes an aluminium layer.

Biology as Light

Prof. Marshall posted: Mon Jun 5th, 2017 We have to stop thinking in reductionist terms. Pathways are concepts that we have imposed on biology. They are merely our explanation for the subset of what is actually happening which we are studying at any point in time.

Mankind has to accept that Biology is currently far more complex than the human mind can conceive.

Yesterday I read a paper by a respected Russian researcher arguing that cells don't exist in the absence of electromagnetic waves that hold them together, organize each function, and regulate homeostasis. In other words humans are just collections of Quarks, and other fundamental particles, held together by complex, and changing, electromagnetic forces.

There are a handful of scientists who agree with him, and I am fast shifting to that point of view, too. The key to me is that water, the basis for all life, is not a classical fluid, but a collection of dynamically changing nano-structures which act as a conduit for the EM waves.

So it really doesn't help to try and force-fit what we are observing onto ancient concepts like 'cellular signalling,' as even the system-biology-level concepts such as “immune system” can no longer really be identified as any discrete entity. The brain coordinates so many of the systems we once thought were discrete.

In other words, fundamental biological Science is changing very fast. All the concepts you and I currently hold will look very different in a decade from now

However - EM waves affect EVERYTHING. Every molecule. Every 'pathway.' And they have started to cause harm at levels well below today's Electrosmog.
