IMPORTANT INFO ON MASSACHUSETTS BALLOT INITIATIVE
RADLIMITS AT LAST TREE LAWS (LastTreeLaws.com)
For public safety, we need a law that limits non-ionizing radiation exposures (from electricity & wireless).
To bypass industry, we need to a voter signature drive to let voters approve the law: a Massachusetts ballot initiative!
LIMITS ON NON-IONIZING RADIATION ARE GOOD:
-
- In Massachusetts, limits exist to prevent electric shock;
- In other states, limits exist on magnetic and electric fields from high-voltage power lines;
- In the US, limits on cell tower transmissions are meant to prevent heating;
- In India, cell tower transmissions are much lower than in the US to reduce harmful biological effects;
- In Chile, limits exist on cell towers near hospitals or schools;
- In Cyprus, WiFi is prohibited in pediatric wards and elementary schools.
WE NEED STRONG LIMITS BECAUSE since c. 2000 most of us sit near computers, routers, and other electrical and wireless equipment while regulations fail to address this chronic exposure.
INTELLIGENT PEOPLE AGREE – e.g. Dr. Olle Johansson, PhD, discovered that computers even without wireless could change the skin biome, with markers such as mast cells increasing. Dr. Johansson is now retired from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, but continues with research and advocacy for limits. Many scientists in this specialized field have appealed for stronger limits citing existing harm, and very few say otherwise – but those who do have their voices amplified by industry marketing and money. In sum most say WE NEED LIMITS FOR OUR OWN INTELLIGENCE, HEALTH & JOY.
WE PROPOSED A LAW FOR STRONGER LIMITS which so far includes:
-
- Tech design that makes turning off or limiting wireless easy or default mode;
- Limits on incidental non-ionizing radiation from electrical and wireless equipment to as little and as safe as possible;
- Wireless facility (e.g. cell towers) maps & ownership public info;
- Require MA telecommunications department prefer technologies that lessen exposures;
- Take steps to hard-wire and limit exposures where under state control in public institutions;
- Set up a commission of first responders to examine how to protect them.
WE COULD IMPROVE THIS LAW WITH FUNDING & VOLUNTEERS NOW to support:
-
- Time for improvements and legal expert feedback;
- Polling to see what voters will support.

A SAMPLE OF SOME SMART SCIENTIST CONCERNS:
– Dr. Robert Becker, MD (1923 – 2008), became famous for bringing media and a generation’s attention to the dangers of high-voltage power lines. Despite his hitherto successful career, he lost his research contracts and retired early because he spoke out against non-ionizing radiation. He wrote the cult classic The Body Electric and was nominated twice for Nobel Prize because he discovered electricity could heal bone.
– Dr. Henry Lai, PhD, and Dr. Narinda Singh, PhD, in 1995 published that wireless signals broke DNA strands, and then dealt with industry attempts to discredit their work. Dr. Singh is best known for developing the comet assay, a technique used around the world to detect DNA breaks. Dr. Lai, who became a research professor at the University of Washington, has published evidence of harm documented in peer-reviewed science for the public on the Bioinitiative.org.
– Dr. Neil Cherry, PhD (1946-2003), who published on how modulation of small amounts of non-ionizing radiation, including solar and geomagnetic activity (such as thunderstorms) can have harmful effects and advocated for making technology as safe as possible. Cherry also examined cancer clusters, such as on high rates of cancer in the line of transmissions from the Sutro Tower in San Francisco. In 2002 Dr. Cherry was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to science, education and the community.
– Dr. Chris Portier, recently retired from the US NIEHS, chaired the committee at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) that in 2015 stated wireless and radiofrequencies were a 2b ‘possible’ carcinogen. Many original members of the committee have since stated wireless is carcinogenic and the classification must be strengthened. In 2022 for a brain cancer lawsuit, Portier wrote 176 pages of testimony with scientific references to prove cellphones cause brain cancer.
– Dr. Sam Milham, PhD, used his access to a WA state database to find workers exposed to more non-ionizing radiation, such as electricians, contracted leukemia more than would be expected, sparking other researchers to look and find similar patterns. After retirement, he did further research and discovered that where electricity was newly introduced, ‘diseases of civilization’ like heart disease arose, about which he wrote the easy read Dirty Electricity. Milham believes the problem is linked to pulsing or surges and harmonics on ‘dirty’ electrical lines.
