Invisible forces: electromagnetism and microbes (webinar Mon, 8/26/19)

Hello, all.

For the past 5 years, I have been intensively researching agroecology and human health and their intersection point, which is microbes.

In his book "Science in Agriculture" (Acres USA publishing), Dr. Arden Andersen says "because microbes' cell walls are made of layered compounds with a layered cell membrane inside the wall, an electrical potential is set up. One side carries a positive charge, and the other, a negative charge, very similar to a capacitor.  ... electrical fields disrupt this gradient, thus inhibiting cell growth or killing the cell."

In other words, all of the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from our exponentially increasing electrical and electronic networks (the grid, satellites, WiFi, etc.) are messing up the microbes.

In the attached 2014 research paper by E.A. Adebayo (from Nigeria), the researchers surveyed microbe communities around cell tower stations. From pg 2: "the presence of limited genera which are mostly spore formers showed that these groups survived because of their ability to form spores which protected them from the negative effect of radiation while others are probably eliminated."

In other words, radiation kills off a lot of beneficial microbes, including all the nitrogen fixing bacteria.

Because the modern (Western) science paradigm is based on lab study - the double blind, randomized, controlled trial - studying dynamic communities of microbes "in the wild" is not something our country's universities are set up to do.

There's also been the misconception that radiation dissipates at an exponential rate in live tissue (and that all we have to worry about it "ionizing" - meaning heat-inducing - radiation). This is categorically not true -- see attached article (p 10 - 12) from 2002 regarding Brillouin precursors.

Permies are more interested in and observant of the natural world. So perhaps like me, you've looked around in despair at all the dying trees and vanishing biodiversity. Researchers in Germany (at a non-profit called the Competence Initiative, or "Kompetenzinitiative") have documented - over time - the damage to trees that are in the path of cellphone masts.

See the attached Observation Guide document ("Trees-in-Bamberg-and-Hallstadt") by Helmut Breunig, which can also be accessed here: http://kompetenzinitiative.net/KIT/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/2017_Observation_Guide_ENG_FINAL_RED.pdf

When their symbiont hosts (the trees, insects, fish, animals, and all other living creatures) are diseased, the microbes' internal environment is further compromised, and their welfare suffers even more, perpetuating the cycle.

One implication:
In her book "Microbia," Eugenia Bone talks about Prof. David Sands and others' research into bioprecipitation: how bacteria, fungi, algae, and even viruses actually seed clouds. Without these beneficial microbes in the atmosphere, we get drought, and also extreme weather events.

If you've made it this far through my scientific screed, thank you. And now: what can we do in the face of all this?

Help everyone - especially laypeople - understand the crisis.

One step in that direction is an upcoming webinar produced by Sayer Ji (founder of the site GreenMedInfo) and Josh del Sol (producer of the documentary "Take Back Your Power" regarding Smart Meters). Info for that:
https://the5Gsummit.com
Starts Monday, 8/26 and runs through 9/1
Encore weekend is 9/7 - 9/8

It's a really expert lineup of speakers - IMO, the first day (8/26) features the best speakers to gain an all-around understanding of the situation. This webinar is mostly about human health, so I doubt they'll even discuss the microbe issue. But hey, it's a start.

Please spend a few minutes looking into the event, and if you deem it worthwhile, share with whoever you think is open-minded enough to benefit.
Thanks in advance for spreading the word. As I've learned in my microbe research adventure, cooperation is the key to survival.
