Harvard Medical Doctor Warns Against Smart Meters

by Sarah Pope / Affiliate Links ✔

smart meter dangersDr. David Carpenter MD, a graduate of Harvard Medical School and a physician who has worked in the area of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and public health for over 18 years, has a few choice words for power companies that are forcing smart meters down the throats of their customers all over the United States.

Dr. Carpenter adamantly insists that there is no evidence whatsoever that smart meters are in any way safe for human beings.  He goes on to say that there is, in fact, ample evidence that demonstrates “convincingly and consistently” that exposure to radiofrequency radiation (RFR) at elevated levels for long periods of time increases the risk of cancer, damages the nervous system, and adversely affects the reproductive organs.

Dr. Carpenter says that an informed person should demand that they be allowed to keep their analog meter.

The two minute video interview with Dr. Carpenter below is well worth watching.  

If you are having smart meters forced upon you where you live, know that California power customers have recently won the battle to keep their analog meters.   There is both an annual and monthly charge for this “inconvenience” to the power utilities, but at least customers now have a choice to opt out where they did not before.

This precedent for opting out in California should make it easier for others with smart meters who don’t want them in other areas of the United States to be able to get their analog meters back as well.

While smart meters reduce workload and increase profitability for the power companies, they do so at the expense of the health of their customers.  Opting out is the only “smart” way to deal with this corporate incursion.

Smart Meter Dangers – Video

Here is what one prominent industry expert who is also a medical doctor has to say about smart meters. Don’t wait until you have a health problem likely caused or exacerbated by these devices. Be proactive to protect your family!

Note that this does not necessarily include the very similar looking AMR devices.

Can’t Get Rid of Your Smart Meter Right Now?

If you live in a rental property or cannot afford to pay the extortion fee charged by utility companies to remove your smart meter and reinstall an analog, I would recommend getting a device called a Smart Meter Guard (check it out here).

It has been proven to cut 98% of the radiation from a smart meter! Better yet, the power company won’t balk if you use it as long as you don’t break the security seal (don’t EVER do this!). My friend Beth from Minnesota emailed me about it recently as she was informed about this new device by a building biologist who works for the company Intentional Environment.

There are now two other less expensive competitive products, the Smart Meter Cover (available here) and the Smart Meter Shield (available here).

Having one of these smart meter safety devices installed at your home is a must.

    We live in base housing and all the newer houses have smart meters so they can charge us to monitor our own usage and also bill us for going over the so-called average. I asked about them taking the meter out and that is not an option. I’d almost rather live in the older houses, if there wasn’t mold and other worst things to worry about in there…

    Before people had electricity they used candles and kerosene lamps to light their homes and used fire to heat them. Just think of all of the bad things that they got to breath every day.

    Remember, that it is a privilege to have electricity, gas and water. It’s not a right.

      How is this relevant to a Smart Meter? We had electricity with the previous meters. The radiation these meters emit causes illness and fires. I have a right to have electricity, gas, and water without being ill or fearing my house goes up in flames due to the faulty technology.

    I’m in north Texas. We refused the smart meter the first time the installers came around. About 18 months later, they came back. I told them I didn’t want the thing, and they told me that I had the option to refuse. It was my right to refuse. And then the guy said those fateful words, “…but we will be removing the existing meter and the wiring because they belong to us.” The energy options he offered were solar and/or a gas generator…either to be purchased at my own expense. I knew it would take months to save up for those! He had me cornered. Day-um!

      You can purchase your own analog meter for about $80. Search Freedom Taker analog meter.

    The Amish have no electricity and very few live to be very old. And yes they do go to Dr.’s and hospitals if they need to so living with or without these things dont seem to change anything.

    I use southern Ca Edison as service, when they were coming thru area, I just called them that I wanted to OPTOUT, they left my old meter, I do pay extra $5 month because they have to come out to read and if you already been changed to SM, I understand you can still OPTOUT, just call your provider. These SM have a FCC sticker attached because they transmit a signal.

    You should be afraid of smart meters for reasons other than health also! The inside of our home and what goes on in it is our business, not the power companies, not the governments. Our Constitutional rights are truly under assault. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8N7_iryR1A

    What about hair dryers, curling irons, cell phones that you hold up to your head. The electrical wiring in your house. Your computer, laptop, tablet or Kindle. Your TVs. Anything that is electrical especially anything that has an electric motor gives off EMFs. Relax people!

    Here is a question. How are the smart meters powered? Is it possible to determine which fuse powers it and shut it off, or is it self powered somehow?

      I just realized they probably connect to the power even prior to your internal fuse box, so that’s probably not an option. I have heard that some people resorted to physically destroying them.
