Report links power lines to cancer
An Australian study says living next to high-voltage power lines increases the risk of cancer.
Researchers from the University of Tasmania and Britain's Bristol University looked at a database of 850 patients in Tasmania diagnosed with lymphatic and bone marrow cancers between 1972 and 1980, and found that living for a prolonged period near high-voltage power lines may increase the risk of leukemia, lymphoma and related conditions later in life.
Those who lived within 328 yards of a power line up to age 5 were five times more likely to develop cancer, while those who lived that close to a power line at any point during their first 15 years were three times more likely to develop cancer as an adult, the newspaper said.
The study was published in the Internal Medicine Journal.
When speaking with Mr. Morgenstern, Communications specialist with the ITC, one of the issues is health effects. Having studied the issue, and watched the video "Beyond Coincidence" the webmaster can only conclude that it is true that EMF causes health problems....the physical evidence is overwhelming.
However, Mr. Morgenstern points to reports by the WHO, the World Health Organization, that high-voltage towers may not cause cancer etc....
Having had prior experience with the WHO, which could be at times named the World ANTI-Health Organization, saying the WHO does not believe that EMF causes cancer is like saying pesticides do not cause cancer, which is another lie. The WHO is a corporate-connected paradox. In reality, the WHO did NOT say that EMFs do not cause cancer, rather they concluded that there was evidence that EMFs cause cancer, but that they want more "evidence" for a final conclusion. Reports saying there is no evidence that high-voltage power lines cause cancer are highly contested and are listed on the Quack Science website which lists supposedly scientific studies which are not scientific but are lies paid for by the connecting payer corporation or entity.
The grid masters are not to be trusted. Neither is the WHO or any other entity which discounts all the human suffering connected with this issue or is reluctant to form a conclusion despite overwhelming evidence and accounts of human (and animal) suffering..
TRUTHS:
The higher the voltage the greater the risk.
The closer one is to the voltage, the greater the risk.
The longer the exposure, the greater the risk.
The younger the person, the greater the risk.
EMFs effect the unborn just as radiation does and should be avoided by pregnant women.
EMFs cause birth defects and cancer.
EMFs have caused childhood, and adult leukemia, at increased rates.
Living downwind from a high-voltage electrical line will increase the risk of lung cancer and other ailments.
There are laws to protect the public; however the laws differ by location and strength. More protective laws are needed everywhere.
The grid masters have nothing to lose by lying.
The public has everything to lose by accepting lies.
THEREFORE
Do Not Sell Off Your Right-of Way
Sign the Petition
Tell your neighbors
Find out when the next meeting is
Attend all meetings
Make your concerns known!
Don't ever give up...you and your children and children's children deserve a right to live, a right to life and a right to environmental integrity to allow you to live in peace and harmony with the creation, and in good health, not in a state of being continually assaulted by electromagnetism or any other environmental hazard.
TRY THIS
Try to get the Company to BURY the power lines.
When it comes down to it, their profits are more
important to them than your health.
HERE'S A LAME EXCUSE
When the lines are buried, it is harder to see where a tree has fallen on them when the power goes out. It is faster to repair lines above-ground than below.
When countered with, the lines will not go down if a tree falls when the line is buried; again, it is more expensive to bury the lines......
Money is more important to them than your health and the beauty of the earth.
What is more important to you??
The ITC is a $300,000,000.00 corporation. They did not get that rich by being nice or caring about people......
"They're going to put it through anyway. We can try to fight them but we won't win."......another excuse from a Twp. official why he hasn't notified residents about the meetings and ITC plans....
Come on, people.....Let's at least TRY!
STOP THE TOWERS
NOW not NEVER

**********************************************************
Spring 2012: The line is almost up. The poles were tilting in some areas where the ground holds water. Bulldozers were brought in to buffer up the poles.
Neighbors sold out their neighbors for $. The ugly gigantic poles mar the landscape. Muddy tracks and industrial machines litter the ground where once graceful trees stood. Lines run close to some homes, and over barns.
How can you forgive yourself when your neighbor begins to experience ill health from a high voltage power line?
Will you regret selling out your rights when you want to move and no one wants to buy your home?
Will you regret it when you can't get a fair market value for your home?
Will you relish the sunset when you see the silhouette of giant electrical towers?
The courts are full of class action lawsuits against high voltage power lines. When they are strung over households and everyone gets luekemia, fibromyalgia, and other chronic illnesses, 2 plus 2 equals you have been hurt. Your neighbors have been hurt.
When it comes to this point, people sometimes band together to seek justice. At this point, people need help with medical conditions. It is especially hard on children.
Perhaps it would be wise to get a medical checkup to provide your health care provider with a baseline to use. Illness from EMF does not always happen overnight. Cancers may take up to ten years to develop.
Yes, times are hard, and some people do need the money. But is it worth it?
