Plants won't grow near Wi-Fi routers, experiment finds


(NaturalNews) It's not difficult to understand the appeal of Wi-Fi. This revolutionary technology, which has been commercially available since 1999, eliminates cabling and wiring for computers, reduces cellular usage charges and allows us to connect to the Internet from anywhere with a signal. Despite these benefits, however, studies continue to show that the radiation generated by wireless routers is negatively affecting our health. In fact, the British activist website Stop Smart Meters recently published a list of 34 scientific studies demonstrating the adverse biological effects of Wi-Fi exposure, including studies linking it to headaches, reduced sperm count and oxidative stress.

The latest research into the dangers of Wi-Fi, though, comes from a surprisingly humble source: Five ninth grade female students from Denmark, whose science experiment revealed that wireless radiation is equally as devastating to plants.

Speaking for myself ONLY, after spending most of my life near RF sources and other sources of radiation, and already having had 14 cancerous tumors removed from my body, I simply don't care anymore (as I light another cigarette).

I don't have my router located near any of my house plants. By the way, it doesn't seem to bother spiders and ants, though I heartily wish it were otherwise.

One thing that I find mildly disturbing about these studies is that they don't take into account other radiation sources. Planet earth is full of them, and even if you live in a pole shack with a dirt floor and no electricity at all, you are constantly being exposed to ionizing radiation. It seems that many folks just don't know that.

It doesn't seem to bother our house plants either, we have some within a couple feet and they're thriving....

Maybe I'll install one in my yard and never have to cut the grass again.

I did a little research to check myself and found that non-ionizing radiation such as the energy of RF emissions (when not highly concentrated or focused) doesn't generally have enough energy to break chemical bonds and alter atoms permanently. What that means is that it's thought of to be generally safer from a cancer standpoint than ionizing radiation (radiation of a higher frequency). This is why there hasn't been a lot of outcry about cell phones, microwaves, routers, and wireless laptops.

Concentrated and focused sources of non-ionizing radiation, such as RF sources at very short range, can and do deliver enough energy to be used in surgery or in much more frightening applications. Staying at a safe distance has been working well for many decades.

Ionizing radiation is a different and more sinister form of energy, but it is ubiquitous (all around, all the time). It exists inside and outside our bodies, and on average people get an annual dose of about 300 milli-Roentgens or 3.1 milli-Sieverts per year. Most human bodies have adjusted to that dosage and are unaffected by it.

There are three main kinds of ionizing radiation:

• alpha particles, which include two protons and two neutrons
• beta particles, which are essentially electrons
• gamma rays and x-rays, which are pure energy (photons).

Having said all that, we can't change it, so all that's left is to accept it and forget about it. A true case of ignorance being bliss.

didn't they teach you NOT to stand in front of the radar sets

Hows about sitting on them? Spent countless hours sitting on a radar cabinet, as that was where I took photos with a 70mm handheld camera from, and one day, a inflight tech told me to get up. I did, he snapped the pocket clip off the black SkilCraft govt pen and placed it on edge of the cabinet. it zipped to the center and stood up straight.......


Kids all seem normal, but who knows....... :shrug:

Never trust atoms either, they make up everything!

It wasn't just the radar, although I spent many years working on high-energy radar systems which "leaked" RF into the radar rooms, enough to be picked up and displayed on an oscilloscope. Second-hand smoke as a kid, RF from my dad's transmitter, radiation from various nuclear sources in the Navy, etc. And a lot of sunshine. And I smoke, too. And cancer is hereditary in my family. So, DILLIGAFF? Nope.

as someone who was a Plumber for many yrs ..
... working in old apartment buildings repairing water leaks on pipes, there invariable was this card board like insulation I would have to peal off 10 / 20 feet .... to exposed the pipe between 2 joints so I could cut out the bad section ... if it was a good day, the material would be sopping wet and peal right off ... if it was not a good day, most of the material would be dry, and 40 yrs of dust / dirt and Asbestos would fly off in the air ....



did I mention I was a Smoker as well
