Study Austin Event Tonight: "Energetic Effects on Consciousness: Invisible Pollution or Panacea?"

Presented by James B. Beal, B.S. (M.E.)
Tuesday, September 23rd, 6:30 – 8:30 P.M.
Austin History Center,
810 Guadalupe,
Austin, TX 78701

Potential causes, symptoms, therapies, cures, precautions, and recent research associated with hazardous EMF’s will be discussed.

The wide-ranging healing stimulation effects of EMF’s have been utilized in many other countries since 1849.
Why, then, have EMF studies been suppressed in the US since the 1920's?

Research documents and references on this topic will be available. Need we be concerned about the biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) from the proximity to power lines? Should we be concerned about the new wireless technologies in and around near our homes, such as cell phones, wireless networks, cell towers, antennas, and portable home phones?

Wireless networks in home, schools, offices, libraries and public places around the globe are starting to be dismantled due to cognitive, neurological and other symptoms adults and children are experiencing as a result of long tern use.

See The BioInitiative Report (www.bioinitiative.org).

A Point To Ponder:
All the good comes with some bad. Think about it!

We pay a price for everything in life. And you pay a higher price if you don’t know what price you are paying.

In the power and communication areas, the corporations who are bringing you all the wireless and power novelties, claim to occupy the “high ground of new tech.” They claim they are bringing us better “service.”

“They” are interested in supplying more power and more improved communication systems as rapidly as possible, for the benefit of mankind (and their pocketbooks).

If anybody says, “Let’s go slow here, and look at long-term effects”, it looks like the imposition of a narrow judgment view on a society impatient to enjoy, immediately, the miracles of modern electronic technology.

The “quick, unthinking, habituated response” is “Shoot the messenger!”

Massive denial of any hazardous biological effects of EMF’s, even though known, as with controlled frequencies and intensities of many types, have been successfully used i n healing therapies in other countries since 1849!

Pioneering electromagnetic researcher, Dr. Robert Becker, suggests there is both a “peril and a promise” to emerging electromagnetic technology.

Where does the truth lie?

What happens when biologically effective frequencies and intensities are “accidentally” in our environment long-term?

What do we know?

What does the research prove, from other countries?

Are we aware or unaware of a pollution that is invisible?

Are these invisible energies affecting us?

Are environmentally sensitive people being the “human canaries for the rest of us? Think about it!

James B. Beal, B.S. (M.E.),
EMF Interface Consultant,
and retired NASA engineer, will present a 45-year overview of research findings about the healing aspects and the hazards of electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) and effects on health and consciousness.

This will be about the EMF long-term biological effects on (as well as emitted by) living creatures (including humans ), when exposed to the strong artificial fields produced by our power and wireless technologies.

After 35 years work at Boeing, NASA, and Martin Marietta: External Tank Facility, New Orleans, Beal studied the effects of natural and artificial electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) on living systems. Beal shares a patent on electrostatic cooling, a form of weld for the Space Shuttle External Tank, with Michael Badinger, still of Louisiana.

Beal served on Advisory Boards of The Monroe Institute, which studies hemi-sync energetic tapes and The Gladys T. McGarey Wholistic Medical Foundation, and the INACS Board of Austin, Texas.

He assisted astronaut Edgar Mitchell in the formation of The Institute of Noetic Sciences (1972-73). Chapters on consciousness and field effects appear in seven books.

Mr. Beal has obtained numerous grants for travel and lectures internationally. He now does private consulting for individuals at home, business and property assessments for health-stressful EMF Effects.

"Cell Phone Use Warning"

Scientists warn US Congress of cancer risk for cell phone use.

The potential link between mobile telephones and brain cancer could be similar to the link between lung cancer and smoking — something tobacco companies took 50 years to recognize, according to US scientists’ warning. Scientists are currently split on the level of danger the biological effects of the magnetic field emitted by cellular telephones poses to humans.

However, society “must not repeat the situation we had with the relationship between smoking and lung cancer where we … waited until every ‘i’ was dotted and ‘t’ was crossed before warnings were issued,” said David Carpenter, Director of the Institute of Health and Environment at the University of Albany, in testimony before a subcommittee of the US House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform.

“Precaution is warranted even in the absence of absolutely final evidence concerning the magnitude of the risk” — especially for children, said Carpenter. Ronald Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute — one of the top US cancer research centers — said that most studies “claiming that there is no link between cell phones and brain tumors are outdated, had methodological concerns and did not include sufficient numbers of long-term cell phone users.” Many studies denying a link defined regular cell phone use as “once a week,” he said.

"Energetic Effects on Consciousness"

Texas Mobile phone use raises childrens risk of brain cancer fivefold
                     – Science, News

– The Independent Alarming new research from Sweden on the effects of radiation raises fears that today’s youngsters face an epidemic of the disease in later life By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor Sunday, 21 September 2008 Children and teenagers are five times more likely to get brain cancer if they use mobile phones, startling new research indicates.

The study, experts say, raises fears that today’s young people may suffer an “epidemic” of the disease in later life. At least nine out of 10 British 16-year-olds have their own handset, as do more than 40 per cent of primary schoolchildren. Yet investigating dangers to the young has been omitted from a massive £3.1m British investigation of the risks of cancer from using mobile phones, launched this year, even though the official Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research (MTHR) Programme – which is conducting it – admits that the issue is of the “highest priority”.

"The Haunt Project "

– Science, Magick, Myth and History via The Daily Grail Earlier this week, Wired,  posted a Halloween story which showed how to “Make the Ultimate Haunted House“.

Now for me, fake blood and smoke doesn’t really qualify for the ‘Ultimate’ banner.

If you want to move beyond the kid’s stuff you have to try something a little crazier than that, and perhaps do something like what Professor Chris French and his team at the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit at Goldsmiths College in the UK did: they built a room and saturated various parts of it with electromagnetic fields and infrasound – which are both suspected by some researchers as being correlated with reports of hauntings and paranormal experiences.

French’s study was set up in order to test these suspicions scientifically.

The results will soon be published in the journal Cortex, under the title “The ‘Haunt’ Project: An attempt to build a ‘haunted’ room by manipulating complex electromagnetic fields and infrasound“.

ANI/Business Wire India

NEW DELHI:

The studies and survey conducted by Australian Health Research Institute indicates that due to billions of times more in volume electromagnetic radiation emitted by billions of mobile phones, internet, intranet and wireless communication data transmission will make almost one-third of world population (about two billions) patient of ear, eye and brain cancer beside other major body disorders like heart ailments, impotency, migraine, epilepsy. According to the reports the tissues of children are tender and are likely to be more effected by use of any wireless gadget and devices and they should not be encouraged to use mobile phone.

The fatal and volumetric effects of electromagnetic radiation emitted mainly by mobile phones, mobile phone antenna, tower, mast, transmission tower, microwave oven, wireless devices, system and equipment. These dangerous effects have been certified and confirmed repeatedly by many leading medical and scientific research institutions of the world including Ministries of health of various governments, W.H.O. and now have been admitted and confirmed by Govt. of India in their recent press releases.

The attached image shows and proves about the serious ill effects of E.M. radiation released by Radiation Nuclear and Safety Authority of FINLAND as to how E.M. radiation emitted by mobile phones damages the various body cells and causes incurable and fatal diseases.

"The EM Brace"

The EM Brace is a wearable device for physically engaging with electromagnetic radiation emitted by the consumer and communication technologies that constantly permeate our bodies.

The device attunes the body to the presence of electromagnetic frequencies through amplifying these frequencies and turning them into powerful sound waves that vibrate the wearer.

In this new series, Rhizome invites artists to explain the nuts and bolts of their work.

Our first contribution comes from recent ITP graduate and Rhizome’s dynamo former Technology Assistant Nick Hasty.

Here, Hasty describes his project The EM Brace.

"Wi-Fi Allergy Nothing to Sneeze At"

Santa Fe Group Says Wi-Fi Allergy Nothing To Sneeze At

– Networking –
IT Channel News by CRN and VARBusiness

Concerns about Wi-Fi connectivity are plentiful: potential security risks, lack of a signal and the cost to connect among them. But some New Mexico city residents are taking it one step further, claiming they’re suffering from allergic reactions to Wi-Fi.

Now theSanta Fe group has banded together, claiming signals emanating from hot spots and Wi-Fi in public buildings are causing symptoms of electromagnetic hypersensitivity.

One Santa Fe resident told local TV station KOB-TV that Wi-Fi and the electromagnetic fields it radiates are causing him severe discomfort and that he’s stumping to ban Wi-Fi signals in public buildings because he and others are allergic to the radio waves.

“I get chest pain,” Arthur Firstenberg told the TV station. “It doesn’t go away right away. I suffer for a couple of days.”

Firstenberg, 57, added: “If I walk into a room of a building that has Wi-Fi, my most immediate sign is that the front of my right thigh goes numb.

If I don’t leave, I’ll get short of breath, chest pains and the numbness will spread.”

I hope. One of the problems with studies of cell phones, according to Dr. Davis, is that the issues they are trying to understand are inherently complex. Science works best, apparently, examining one thing at a time, as we do routinely with drugs in clinical trials.
