He first encountered electronics and wireless at school in the 60’s.
He thought it was “just brilliant”.
He became a radio amateur and used little walkie-talkies to talk to his school friends.
Not surprisingly he trained to become an electrical engineer.
In the 1980s he became involved with a protest group called Electronics for Peace (ECP).
NATO had decided to site nuclear missiles at Greenham Common, an American airbase in the UK. ECP were protesting (peacefully) against it.
The protestors, many of them mothers and grandmothers, claimed they were being zapped.
He went over and took some electromagnetic field (EMF) measurements.
There was no doubt about it. They were being exposed to pulsed microwaves from “funny things on poles around the periphery of the airfield”.
It was written up in the papers as a ‘zapping of some women on Greenham Common’.
In that age of EMF ignorance the public didn’t ‘get’ just how inhumane, dangerous and totally unjustified the treatment was.
Some years later he was talking at an industry conference on ‘Mobile Phones and Their Health Effects’.
On the second day, he happened to find himself sitting at the breakfast table with a very senior person at the Ministry of Defense.
They got talking about the Greenham peace protestors.
It turns out the MOD official had been sent to investigate the zapping of the women.
Then the MOD man leans over and says to him, “off the record, I was sent out there with some people and equipment to test this out. When we measured the fields, I wouldn’t let my men stand where the women were!”
He said, “it was bloody dangerous!”
Subsequently one of the women developed cancer, and a lot of them suffered fertility problems.
Horrific.
This was his first real eye-opener to the dangers of EMFs.
Then later on in the 90’s, he was working at a firm developing instruments for measuring water and soil in farmer’s fields for plant growth.
The instruments used a microwave frequency in the soil. He started to get headaches.
So he kept a diary.
It was clear, every time he was working on the project he would start to develop a headache 3 or 4 hours afterwards.
The headaches would last from like 12 to 24 hours. That was what convinced him.
He say’s “I’ve met a lot of people that are far more electricity sensitive than I am”.
He’s spent some 30 years studying the effects of EMFs on health. And has invented a number of popular EMF meters, including the Acoustimeter – which is still my ‘go to’ meter when I’m looking for a quick reading.
For my next interview I’m delighted to welcome the UKs leading expert on EMFs Alasdair Philips.

Mercola is carrying an article on the effects of "dirty electricity" and microwave radiation on mitochondrial function. There is also a documentary attached which is currently available to watch free for a limited time, through August 11th.
The caption readsThe producers of Take Back Your Power are allowing a full and FREE viewing through 8/11.
Story at-a-glance
The smart grid promised to enhance energy security and reduce energy usage. In reality, 80 percent of households that have received a smart meter report increases on their utility bill
Thousands of people complain of health problems developing shortly after receiving a smart meter on their home. In some cases, blood tests confirm suspicions that RF radiation has impacted health
The smart grid is part of a clandestine surveillance network, violating privacy rights and posing an unprecedented cybersecurity problem
Take Back Your Power
The featured documentary, "Take Back Your Power," directed by Josh del Sol, investigates some of the problems associated with smart meters specifically. The issue came to his attention when a friend suddenly fell ill right after having a smart meter installed in her home.
Can microwave radio frequencies (RF) from smart meters really affect your health? And why are they being pushed so forcibly without public input? As shown in the film, utility company employees have literally broken into homes to forcibly install smart meters. These are just some of the questions del Sol decided to find the answers to.
"Smart meters are part of a much bigger picture, a much bigger design," B. Blake Levitt, an award-winning science journalist, says. "The smart meter is just really the attachment that goes on the outside of a home or a business — a two-way transmission device that ties into the larger smart grid plans that are built out across the world."
I urge you to set aside the time this weekend to watch this excellent film. It's quite compelling, raising many important questions, and revealing just as many provocative answers.
Edit: It's interesting because not only is the smart meter detrimental to health but also to privacy. It's invasive on multiple levels, a double whammy. I have not yet watched the documentary but found the article very informative. No smart meter on our home in this small town yet, but that doesn't mean it won't be coming down the pipeline at some point.
Synopsis:
Since 1997 and the onset of GSM telephony, more and more cellular antennas have been popping up in neighborhoods all around the world to support an ever-growing number of cell phone users. In fact, they have become so prolific in some parts of the world that they disappear into the landscape with the same subtlety as cars on the street. And those that don''t ''disappear'' are cleverly disguised as chimneys, flagpoles, or water towers. Full Signal talks to scientists around the world who are researching the health effects related to cellular technology; to veteran journalists who have called attention to the issue for decades; to activists who are fighting to regulate the placement of antennas; and to lawyers and lawmakers who represent the people wanting those antennas regulated.

snip said:Increasing Demand Requires Dense, Heterogeneous Networks
Wireless networks require the deployment of wireless facilities – antennas and other equipment that convey signals between wireless devices and the network. These facilities are placed on towers, buildings, and other increasingly diverse locations.
Antenna installations on towers and collocations on tall structures like rooftops are often referred to as “macro” sites. These traditional cell sites form the core of a wireless network and are
effective for covering large geographic areas and delivering signals miles away. Today, thanks to billions of dollars in investment, the wireless industry has built nearly 300,000 cell sites across the country.
But the demand for wireless services is driving innovation and deployment of heterogeneous networks that rely on an array of wireless infrastructure technologies. These networks increasingly integrate various smaller antenna technologies to densify their network architecture and add even more capacity. However, a dense network creates siting complications. Because deployments must be wide-spread and close to the consumer, additional sites can be di cult to nd, which is why utility pole access is crucial to further deployment.
Utility poles are ideal sites for technologies such as DAS and small cells, which boost network capacity and improve spectral efficiency. With less traditional, low-band spectrum available, wireless providers are turning to higher band spectrum that covers much smaller areas and requires more tightly packed cells. This means DAS and small cells, which t neatly onto poles, are increasingly important tools for wireless networks.
• Nondiscriminatory access
States must ensure that wireless carriers are a afforded nondiscriminatory access to utility poles (including pole tops) on just and reasonable rates, terms and conditions that are equivalent to those available to other classes of attachers.
Synopsis: A growing number of people are suffering from health problems, and they lay the blame at mobile phones, tv, and wifi; an allergy to electromagnetic fields. Is it real, or is it all in their heads?
Synopsis from https://electroplague.com/2014/04/19/film-where-can-we-live/
Where Can We Live is a 2011 documentary film by director Hélène Aastrup-Samuels tracing the lives of two unrelated Swedish women and their young families as each woman, in her own way, struggles to find peace and safety from the toxicity of wireless radiation. Lisa and Linn are electrosensitive, and each has been forced to abandon the life she knew (including job, home, education, and city) in order to escape the nearly ubiquitous presence of wireless devices.
The director and her crew followed each woman for three years to produce a film that reveals both the logistical and psychological price paid by those suffering from this growing environmental illness. The final result is a narrative work that switches back and forth between the two unfolding sagas throughout the course of the 42-minute film.
The film opens with Lisa and her young children at their small off-grid cottage in the Swedish countryside. For many of us, this would be an idyllic existence. But when one is required to live this way—far from the amenities of the city, and with no electricity—it can also be confining. For Lisa, it meant the end of her academic studies and her ability to have a paying job, relying instead on her husband to support them all.
Within minutes, the film cuts away to Linn’s story, which begins in Stockholm where she is a computer engineer. By the end of the film, after several moves and job changes, Linn is also ensconced in a country home with minimal exposure to electromagnetic radiation. She is still a computer engineer, but she is now enclosed in a specially designed workplace with much shielding.
The director’s cinéma vérité style of filmmaking, in which the camera follows each woman in her daily activities and lets each woman speak directly to the camera about the impact of electrosensitivity of her life, ends up supplying us with a startlingly frank portrait of the full scope of electrosensitivity. (And, although this may not have been the director’s intention, the film is also an excellent travelogue for life in the Swedish countryside. I was ready to pack my bags by the end of the film.)
A highlight of the film is the “house call” from Swedish electrosensitivity physician Dr. Ulrika Åberg, who has seen more than 700 electrosensitive patients over 15 years of treating this problem. Recognizing that electrosensitive people are often unable to travel or return to a city, she goes to them when necessary. We meet her when she arrives by bus to visit Lisa in the countryside.
Dr. Åberg describes Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity as “a barrel overflowing”. On the bottom, she says, “we have metal fillings and other toxins from pesticides and other things.” Add to that, the ever-increasing radiation in our daily lives, plus the emotional and psychological and financial stress that results when a person can no longer function as before, and it is a recipe for total health collapse.
