Microwaves, Emergencies and Herbs

[subtitle: microwave antennas and herbs for all emergencies]
Hi. Just one more thing. I got a sample of The Preparedness Journal,
which seems to try to cover every possible emergency. Margaret Connelly
wrote an article in a recent issue, called "Microwaving Our Planet."
Here's a quote: "Altogether, 1,500 companies have obtained PCS licenses
from the FCC. The industry is mounting antennas on apartment buildings,
water towers, highway signs, ... [everywhere] -- while telling us that
all this is safe. But the energy emitted by PCS antennas is extremely
close in frequency (1.8-2.0 gigahertz) and power (up to 1,000 watts or
more) to the energy that cooks food in microwave ovens. Essentially,
hundreds of thousands of microwave ovens are being placed on rooftops
and towers -- and they're being turned on with their doors open." She
says studies done over the past 70 years that show harm from various
similar radiations are being suppressed. And "we are being asked to
believe that ..., if microwaves aren't strong enough to cook us, they
will do us no harm. She says a biologist, Allan Frey, published data
"that showed damage to the heart, nervous system, eyes and other organs
even by levels of microwaves permissible in" [Eastern Europe, where
standards are a thousand times as stringent as in the U.S.]. He found
that pulsed signals heat up brain tissue and produce pressure waves
similar to those in convulsions. These can cause audible clicking and
buzzing sounds in the ear. The gov't has given the communications
industry power to set standards for itself and has cut all of the EPA's
budget for studying health effects from these new transmissions. In
Latvia the health effects were found to include reduced motor function,
reaction time, memory and attention in school kids, abnormalities in
cows, duckweed plants and pine trees. Margaret refers to Kathy Hawk's
recent book, Case Study in the Heartland, which reports problems near
cellular towers erected in the Midwest, such as disappearance of birds
and honey bees, increased birth defects and poorer health in farm
families. Margaret says that everywhere the new PCS systems are erected
around the world people develop a long list of symptoms from memory loss
to tremors and dehydration. These new digital systems use much higher
frequencies than do the old analog systems. She complains that
environmental groups have virtually ignored this area of potential
danger, which lends some credence to my suspicion that the major
environmental groups are manipulated, if subtly, by big biz. She
suggests that the public's only hope may be for local communities to
challenge the constitutionality of laws that prevent them from
protecting their citizens and the environment. --- Does anyone know of
any environmental or consumer groups that are warning about these
dangers? I'm a cautious person who tries to keep informed about possible
dangers, including possible large-scale emergencies, such as y2k,
biological warfare, terrorism, war, geological catastrophes, etc.
Herbalist Dr. Richard Schulze has put out a video with a booklet on "The
Top Ten Herbs for Medical Emergencies." Strong cayenne, like Habanero,
is said to cure those in the midst of heart attacks, given with a cup of
warm water. Hawthorn berries are to protect the heart. Lobelia inflata
is for strokes, etc. Garlic, ginger, peppermint, slippery elm, etc. are
for other problems. He points out that people often die or lose a lot of
brain function while waiting for emergency personnel. And if people keep
these herbs on hand they can save loved ones et al in such emergencies.
He usually says the herbs need to be raw and always organic. So I bought
most of the items he recommended from Richters [www.richters.com?] and I
plan to grow them next year. In the meantime I've also made tinctures of
some of them -- just blend fresh herbs with organic apple cider vinegar
or vodka [garlic is blended with olive oil]. With tinctures you normally
only use dropperfuls, or drops. Dr. Schulze says what herbs and
tinctures are available at health food stores, etc. are usually not
organic and are of very poor quality, so as to be almost worthless. This
matter of herbs for emergencies seems to be an area worth investigating
by organic growers. Yes, no? Frontier Herb Co. of Iowa buys herbs from
growers. Aloha. Lloyd
