Podcasts about Radiation exposure

As a podcast host, I have had the profound honor of listening to and documenting the powerful stories of community members who have dedicated their lives to advocating for justice. Tina Cordova, the Co-Founder of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, is a tireless advocate who has brought attention to the long-ignored consequences of nuclear testing in New Mexico. Her work illuminates the untold experiences of multiple communities who, in the aftermath of the Trinity Bomb detonation and subsequent nuclear tests conducted in New Mexico between 1945 and 1962, were unknowingly exposed to radiation. This exposure, carried by the wind and lingering in the environment for generations, has inflicted devastating deaths and long-term health consequences on countless families. Despite the well-documented link between radiation exposure and life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, the communities most affected—those who have suffered immeasurable loss and continue to endure the painful repercussions—have yet to receive the full recognition and justice they deserve. Their stories remain largely absent from mainstream historical narratives, making it all the more crucial to amplify their voices and demand accountability. We want to honor all who have lost their lives and those who keep their stories alive. Gracias Tina Cordova and the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium. #Downwinders #JusticeForDownwinders #NuclearTestingImpact #RadiationExposure #TrinityTest #EnvironmentalJustice #HealthJustice #ForgottenVictims #TularosaBasin #RECAAmendment

Darshan H. Brahmbhatt, Podcast Editor of JACC: Advances, discusses a recently published original research paper on cumulative radiation exposure and lifetime cancer risk in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot requiring early intervention.

Today, we're joined by Jan-Rutger Schrader, the visionary innovator behind JRS Eco Wireless, to pull back the curtain on a hidden danger lurking in your home—EMF radiation. Most people have no idea that everyday devices like Wi-Fi routers are flooding their homes with EMF radiation, slowly but surely taking a toll on their well-being. But that stops here.  In this episode, Jan-Rutger is here to flip the script and empower you with the knowledge to fight back. We'll dive into the truth about EMF emissions from your devices, expose the industries that put profits over your safety, and arm you with practical steps to reduce your exposure and protect your health.   In this episode, you will hear:  Cell phone EMF emissions differences between Wi-Fi and 4G connection.  The industrial interests that overtake our health.  What buyers should consider when purchasing a router.  Different parts of the Wi-Fi router emit radiation and how adjusting the levels can affect your Wi-Fi signal.  Using an attenuator to limit your Wi-Fi to just one room.  How the JRS Eco Router or JRS Eco 100 can help you reduce your EMF exposure in your home.  And so much more…   Jan-Rutger, or JR for short, has a PhD in microelectronics and communications technology.  Back in 2007, JR was working in the research lab of a large multinational company in the Netherlands, designing microelectronic circuits for the latest generation of mobile phones.  It was his dream job at the time, or so he thought. Then he noticed that the electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones, towers, and electronic devices was affecting his health and he had to quit his job.  A few years later, he founded his company, JRS Eco Wireless, with a mission to develop electronics that emit measurably less radiation. By 2011, he had managed to develop the Eco Wi-Fi router that emitted significantly less EMF than normal WiFi routers.  He later went on to create the Eco 100 router, which is the world's first Wi-Fi router with a full Eco mode.  This router switches to a completely radiation-free mode when no wireless devices are connected.   Connect with Jan-Rutger Schrader, PhD: Website: https://www.jrseco.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jrsecowireless  Email: info@jrseco.com    Use code: SaferWiFi to save 10% off your eco router   Connect with R Blank and Stephanie Warner:  For more Healthier Tech Podcast episodes, and to download our Healthier Tech Quick Start Guide, visit https://HealthierTech.co and follow https://instagram.com/healthiertech Additional Links: EMF Superstore: https://ShieldYourBody.com (save 15% with code “pod”) Digital Wellbeing with a Human Soul: https://Bagby.co (save 15% with code “pod”) Youtube: https://youtube.com/shieldyourbody Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bagbybrand/  Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bagby.co Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shieldyourbody

Join Dr. Debrah Harding, an expert in integrative oncology, as we explore often-ignored cancer risk factors. We'll discuss environmental culprits like heavy metals and chemicals, along with lifestyle choices related to diet and estrogen balance. These elements significantly influence cancer risk and outcomes. Additionally, we'll stress the value of thorough medical forms in spotting these risks and elevating patient care. We'll also address radiation dangers, highlighting a case study. This leads to a broader conversation on electromagnetic effects, risks of phones being held close, and potential harm from earbuds. Take note: The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies certain radio waves as "2B carcinogens." Next, we evaluate the role of naturopathic oncology care in enhancing cancer treatments.

The Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium (TBDC) is a group of activists who seek justice for the victims of the Trinity Test, the first atomic bomb detonation on July 16, 1945. The test exposed thousands of people living in nearby communities, largely Latino communities to harmful radiation, causing cancers and other diseases. The TBDC was founded in 2005 by Tina Cordova and Fred Tyler, along with other residents of Tularosa, to collect data and raise awareness about the health effects of the test.The Trinity Test was part of a series of 200 atmospheric nuclear tests conducted by the United States between 1945 and 1962. These tests also affected thousands of uranium miners, mostly Native Americans, who provided the raw material for the bombs. The miners and the downwinders were not warned of the dangers of radiation exposure and were not compensated for their suffering.After decades of lawsuits and advocacy, Congress finally passed a bill in 2023 to amend the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), which provides compensation to individuals harmed by nuclear testing and uranium mining. The bill, which was signed into law by President Biden on August 8, 2023, expands the eligibility criteria to include the downwinders of New Mexico and the post-1971 uranium miners/workers. The bill also covers more states and territories affected by nuclear testing, such as Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Guam, Nevada, Arizona and Utah.The passage of the RECA amendments was a historic victory for the TBDC and the Native American communities who fought for their rights and recognition.

For the benefits of earthing when you HAVE to use footwear, this the only choice for me.  I've been using their products for years.  Barefoot is still best, but if you must earth with footwear, check these out:  https://bit.ly/3yJUbxk This is NOT the earthing that revolves around things you buy, rather it's the kind that costs nothing and gives superior results without increasing exposure to harmful manmade electromagnetic radiation. Today we're going to talk all about where, why and how we achieve ‘earthing done right'.To date we've spent considerable time talking about ways to minimize exposure to all forms of harmful man-made electromagnetic radiation. This, in my opinion, is one of the greatest issues of the 21st century. Some of necessity, others through a precautionary approach want to limit their exposure to these environmental toxins; want to protect themselves; protect their children and grandchildren.I believe the reckless spread of harmful man-made electromagnetic radiation over the last 100 years, facilitated by our desires for more convenience, more amusement and more stimulation, is responsible for more suffering and death than all other sources combined.For those of us who understand this issue and may be suffering ourselves, but don't want to run away; don't want to become just another EMF refugee – there is an alternative. An alternative that may provide better access to friends and family. Better access to employment and commerce. And better access to group worship – possibly with the same or even better healing potential. All of this without the vulnerability of becoming a refugee.We've outlined half of this strategy over the course of the last 3 months. It involves a series of choices which result in the elimination or extreme reduction of exposure to man-made EMF.So far we've discussed only the first half of this strategy – avoiding the bad radiation.But there's another half of the equation. In addition to avoiding exposure to all the harmful manmade EMF we need to consider optimizing exposure to legitimate EMF. The non-manmade EMF. That which sustains all life. That which was created in the beginning.There are two obvious physical sources of EMF in nature – the sun and the earth. Both provide for nurturing EMF. Today we're going to talk about making a choice to literally connect with the earth. An electrical connection in fact – one which provides for efficient electron transport from the earth to our bodies. This connection was used by our ancestors throughout the ages. In fact, all the way back to the beginning. In addition to electron transport, the connection we form through earthing gives us the closest connection possible to the resonant frequencies (mirrored in the alpha rhythm of the human brain) and required for healthy circadian and infradian rhythms.Support the showSupport this podcast here: https://www.emfremedy.com/donate/Keith Cutter is President of EMF Remedy LLChttps://www.emfremedy.com/YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8jc5qb0kzFhMs4vtgmNlgReversing Electromagnetic Poisoning is a production of EMF Remedy LLCHelping you helping you reduce exposure to harmful man-made electromagnetic radiation in your home.

Pat Toomey (R-PA): Here's what you need to keep in mind, Jake. First of all, this is the oldest trick in Washington. People take a sympathetic group of Americans — it could be children with an illness, it could be victims of crime, it could be veterans who have been exposed to toxic chemicals — craft a bill to address their problems, and then sneak in something completely unrelated that they know could never pass on its own and dare Republicans to do anything about it because they know they'll unleash their allies in the media and maybe a pseudo-celebrity to make up false accusations to try to get us to just swallow what shouldn't be there. That's what's happening here, Jake. 10:40 Jake Tapper: So one of the questions that I think people have about what you're claiming is a budgetary gimmick is, the VA budgets will always remain subject to congressional oversight, they can't just spend this money any way they want. And from how I read this legislation, it says that this money has to be spent on health care for veterans who suffered exposure from toxic burned pits. Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA): This is why they do this sort of thing, Jake, because it gets very deep in the weeds and very confusing for people very quickly. It's not really about veteran spending. It's about what category of government bookkeeping, they put the veterans spending in. My change, the honest people acknowledge it will have no effect on the amount of money or the circumstances under which the money for veterans is being spent. But what I want to do is treat it, for government accounting purposes, the way we've always treated it for government accounting purposes. Because if we change it to the way that the Democrats want, it creates room in future budgets for $400 billion of totally unrelated, extraneous spending on other matters. Senator Toomey on Face the Nation with John Dickerson July 31, 2022 CBS News Clips 4:10 John Dickerson: 123 Republicans in the House voted for this, 34 Senate Republicans voted for it. Same bill. This week, the bill didn't change but the Republican votes did. Why? Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA): Now, the Republican votes didn't change on the substance of the bill. Republicans have said we want an amendment to change a provision that has nothing to do with veterans health care. The Republicans support this. The Democrats added a provision that has nothing to do with veterans health care, and it's designed to change government accounting rules so that they can have a $400 billion spending spree. 6:25 Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA): Honest Democrats evaluating this will tell you: if my amendment passes, not a dime change in spending on veterans programs. What changes is how the government accounts for it. John Dickerson: I understand, but the accounting change, as you know, is a result — the reason they put it in that other bucket is that it doesn't subject it to the normal triage of budgeting. And the argument is that the values at stake here are more important than leaving it to the normal cut and thrust of budgeting. Jon's Response To Ted Cruz's PACT Act Excuses July 29, 2022 The Problem with Jon Stewart on Youtube Clips 00:20 Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX): What the dispute is about is the Democrats played a budgetary trick, which is they took $400 billion in discretionary spending and they shifted it to a mandatory one. Jon Stewart: What Ted Cruz is describing is inaccurate, not true, bulls ** t. This is no trick. Everything in the government is either mandatory or discretionary spending depending on which bucket they feel like putting it in. The whole place is basically a f * ing shell game. And he's pretending that this is some new thing that the Democrats pulled out, stuck into the bill, and snuck it past one Ted Cruz. Now I'm not a big-city Harvard educated lawyer, but I can read. It's always been mandatory spending so that the government can't just cut off their funding at any point. No trick, no gimmick, [it's] been there the whole f**king time. 1:50 Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX): What's the Republicans made clear is, if we leave that spending as discretionary — don't play the budgetary trick — the bill will pass with 80 or 90 votes. Jon Stewart: I don't know how many other ways to say this, but there was no budgetary trick and it was always mandatory. And when they voted in the Senate on June 16, they actually got 84 votes. And you know who voted for that? Ted f*cking Cruz and every other one of those Republicans that switched their votes. There was no reason for them to switch the votes. The bill that passed the Senate 84 to 14 on June 16 has not had one word added to it by Democrats, or spending fairies, or anybody else. It's the same f*cking bill. ‘I Call Bullshit!' Jon on the PACT Act Being Blocked in the Senate July 28, 2022 The Problem with John Stewart on YouTube Clips 3:20 Jon Stewart: June 16, they passed the PACT Act 84 to 14. You don't even see those scores in the Senate anymore. They passed it. Every one of these individuals that has been fighting for years, standing on the shoulders of Vietnam veterans who have been fighting for years, standing on the shoulders of Persian Gulf War veterans fighting for years, Desert Storm veterans, to just get the health care and benefits that they earn from their service. And I don't care if they were fighting for our freedom. I don't care if they were fighting for the flag. I don't care if they were fighting because they wanted to get out of a drug treatment center, or it was jail or the army. I don't give a shit. They lived up to their oath. And yesterday, they spit on it in abject cruelty. These people thought they could finally breathe. You think their struggles end because the PACT Act passes? All it means is they don't have to decide between their cancer drugs and their house. Their struggle continues. From the crowd: This bill does a lot more than just give us health care. Jon Stewart: It gives them health care, gives them benefits, lets them live. From the crowd: Keeps veterans from going homeless keeps veterans from become an addict, keeps veterans from committing suicide. Jon Stewart: Senator Toomey is not going to hear that because he won't sit down with this man. Because he is a fucking coward. You hear me? A coward. 5:15 Jon Stewart: Pat Toomey stood up there — Patriot Pat Toomey, excuse me, I'm sorry. I want to give him his propers, I want to make sure that I give him his propers. Patriot Pat Toomey stood on the floor and said “this is a slush fund, they're gonna use $400 billion to spend on whatever they want.” That's nonsense. I call bullshit. This isn't a slush fund. You know, what's a slush fund? The OSO, the Overseas Contingency Operations Fund. $60 billion, $70 billion every year on top of $500 billion, $600 billion, $700 billion of a defense budget. That's a slush fund, unaccountable. No guardrails? Did Pat Toomey stand up and say, this is irresponsible. The guard rails? No, not one of them. Did they vote for it year after year after year? You don't support the troops. You support the war machine. 7:10 Jon Stewart: And now they say, “Well, this will get done. Maybe after we get back from our summer recess, maybe during the lame duck…” because they're on Senate time. Do you understand? You live around here. Senate time is ridiculous. These motherfuckers live to 200 — they're tortoises. They live forever and they never lose their jobs and they never lose their benefits and they never lose all those things. Well, [sick veterans are] not on Senate time. They're on human time. Cancer time. 8:20 Jon Stewart: I honestly don't even know what to say anymore. But we need your help, because we're not leaving. These people cannot go away. I don't know if you know this, you know, obviously, I'm not a military expert. I didn't serve in the military, but from what I understand, you're not allowed to just leave your post when the mission isn't completed. Apparently you take an oath, you swear an oath, and you can't leave, that these folks can leave because they're on Senate time. Go ahead, go home, spend time with your families, because these people can't do it anymore. So they can't leave until this gets done. Senator Toomey PACT Act Amendment Floor Speech July 26, 2022 Senate Session Representative Mark Takano PACT Act Floor Speech July 13, 2022 House Session 3:38:20 **Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA): The way this country has dealt with toxic exposure has been piecemeal and inadequate. President Biden recognizes this, too. Shortly after he was sworn in, I met with the President about our shared priorities for veterans. Upon learning of my goal to pass comprehensive legislation to help toxic-exposed veterans, the President leaned over to me and talked about his son, Beau, who served near burn pits in Iraq and Kosovo. It might be hard for most Americans to imagine what a burn pit looks like because they are illegal in the United States. Picture walking next to and breathing fumes from a burning pit the size of a football field. This pit contained everything from household trash, plastics, and human waste to jet fuel and discarded equipment burning day and night. Beau Biden lived near these burn pits and breathed the fumes that emanated from them. President Biden believes that con- stant exposure to these burn pits, and the toxic fumes they emitted, led to Beau's cancer and early death. It was during that meeting when I knew I had a partner in President Biden.
