Harvard Medical Doctor Warns Against Smart Meters
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. 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.

Sarah wrote: “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.” To my knowledge this is very likely false. So maybe some activists got the right to opt out in one power system in the state. That does not mean everybody in the state can opt out.
I live in Los Angeles. When they had the test program running people were allowe to opt out. But I was told years ago by the LADWP that when the test program ended and they rolled smart meters out to the entire city there would be no opt out. And sure enough they installed a smart meter on my condo and I cannot opt out.
So here is a key statement that this author skips over and provides no details at all. Sarah, please show me I’m wrong. Id’ be happy if I am wrong.

That is terrible news! I didn’t know that Los Angeles was doing this. Southern California Edison allows opting out according to this report. https://www.sce.com/wps/portal/home/customer-service/my-account/smart-meters/opt-out/
It seems then that a smart meter guard is you best option at this point or to move to a neighborhood served by Southern California Edison.

The problem with “Short term Studies,” is they are SHORT! More of a problem are those who are doing them. Do I trust Corporations whose bottom line is “Profit over their customers?’ ARE YOU KIDDING? As far as those who do the studies can they really be trusted (like Polls) they are out to make a profit to. Bottom line, Many Companies in Corporate America are Corrupt and the Love of money is the bottom line, not the safety and peace of whom they are to SERVE. It is the responsibility of the consumer to hold them accountable to their Corruption. When good people do NOTHING, evil triumphs. Piranha and wolves have one thing in common, they go after easy single targets. When people fail to unite and fight they will be subdued by the evil of the night.
