Dr. 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. Â 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. Â
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. Â 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. Â 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.

hurray. EMG. breaksdown the immune system. people need to pay attention.
I tried to stop them from putting one of these on our house.
It is still mandatory in Ohio, where I live, or at least was the last time I checked. We have avoided it so far by simply not answering the door when the installers make their little visit. We’ve had multiple intimidation letters threatening to shut off our utility, but I know they can’t do that as long as I keep paying my bill on time (at least, not for now). They finally stopped visiting and harassing us so often. Hopefully they will just leave us alone now.
The doctor states that large amounts of RF for large amounts of time can cause cancer. Not questioning this.
But the amount of RF given off by the meter is incredibly small. This post seems more interested in fear than fact.
Well Said!!
TV’s, cell phones, computers, Microwaves, Meters, tablets, hand held gaming equipment, etc…our RF exposure keeps increasing. Perhaps the Meter isn’t the biggest risk on its own, but it could very well have a cumulative effect. Is that a risk you would want to take? I wouldn’t. Cancer has never been stopped no matter how much money they throw at it.

Unbelievable!!! Harvard grad or not he is an idiot!!! There is a whole lot more in this world he needs to worry about besides the meter on the side of ones house.
I wouldn’t say he’s an idiot, but he didn’t tell the whole truth. YES THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK! It’s just not much of a risk.
He’s anti-wifi and anti-cell phone too. I don’t get the sense he’s sensible. Not all doctors are.
What about the” nest” thermostat ? Is that harmful.
can you opt out in Canada?
Please stop telling half truths and phrasing things in which cause alarm. It is very easy to get wrapped up in negative things without asking the right questions and digging deeper to get the whole story.
How much radiation do these meters emit? Compared to other devices? Device in the home like microwaves, tvs, computers, etc.?
I have looked it up and know that it is insignificant.
Do you realize that we get radiation every day? Do you realize that the body has mechanisms to repair that damage?
It’s all about THE AMOUNT!!
Thank you to all those people in the comments that have realized this and took the time to respond.
Please read Snake Oil Science by R. Barker Bausell Ph.D. to become better equipped in the future
I’ve seen the levels measured with gauss meters and they are not insignificant by any means. Perhaps there are some smart meters which are insignificant, but I wouldn’t make that assumption.
I am not familiar with gauss meters, but will look it up. I did not assume anything. I saw the numbers from more than one reliable source and compared it to other household appliances.
What were the levels that you’ve measured and was it a Smart meter?
I wonder if you would share your reliable sources. I think that it’s important that everyone understand that is very easy to manipulate numbers and often in articles/publications that conclude that smart meters pose no risk to health you’ll see the average radiation output. What is possibly misleading about that number? Your meter emits a pulse of radiation for 1/1000 of a second. The other 999/1000 of that second your meter emits zero radiation. When you average the radiation output over the second you factor 999 zeros. That creates a very small average radiation output. If you read the actual power density emitted by your meter in the 10,000+ bursts of radiation that they put out each day you’ll find that they are quite high. I have measured mine myself and the amount of radiation that is emitted is much higher than the radiation that I measure 50 feet from the base of a cell phone tower. This is something that you may want to look into more. Try Googling Stop Smart Meters and see what comes up.
From what I am reading a Gauss meter does not measure EMF, but rather magnetization. Different things
bann them too along with GMO’s.
great info !
