LIB TALKS *************************************************************** **TIP POSITION ON STEVE DAHL LETTER VS. DUMB “SMART METERS” - One hundred percent appreciation & approval. **TIP POSITION ON HEALTH CARE RE-STATED: In this time of Covid, it is impossible for any organization or person not to speak of the health concerns and responses with which we are dealing. I need to make this very clear – TIP does not endorse any medical treatment or drug, nor are we “Anti” vaccines or specific treatments. As always, we simply stand for openness and fair consideration of the research and science provided by others. Mainstream sources tend to avoid or minimize info about such toxins as are found in products, pesticides in food, and the dangers of radiation. And they ignore or dismiss natural & affordable health care offerings. So, we believe that, as do other countries, Alternative Options for health care should be included in research & reporting, and available as Choices. This is especially important because One Size Does Not Fit All. **TIP RELATED SUGGESTIONS & SUPPORT: We would really like to hear from TIP TALKS readers about their own experiences with toxins in daily life & healthier alternatives. Also, many of our usual website advertisers are dealing with COVID and we have not asked them for payments until they feel they can afford that. So, assistance from anyone who appreciates our work is especially welcomed! See ways to help at the bottom of this TIP TALKS including one at no cost to you.

**CURRENT RI EMF INFO & ACTIONS: ************************************************************ "MY TURN: REBUTTAL TO BRUMBERGER/DUONG OPINION"
Excerpts From a letter by Stephen Dahl,
RI Safe Technology Group 1-25-2021 As the Biden Administration looks to combat climate change, it must examine independent science to achieve that goal with public health in mind. Josh Brumberger and David Duong’s Opinion from December 19, says the solution to the pandemic and climate change is installing “smart meters.” Is this correct? Smart meters are two-way radios which transmit and receive data using wireless radiation, also known as radiofrequency radiation (RFR). (For a good overview of RFR, search for this PBS show: “Burt Wolf: The Danger of RF Radiation.”) “ RFR has been shown to cause biological harm in thousands of peer-reviewed studies, many of which are recent. Dr. Ron Melnick, the NTP study’s designer, a retired senior toxicologist, explains the study that found low-level, non-thermal radio frequency radiation causes cancer and DNA damage in rats. Furthermore, a study by the Ramazzini Institute in Italy found the same results, bolstering its validity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJfK3gbkmMk
Sources misinformed by the FCC will tell you that wireless radiation is safe. But if you investigate, the FCC’s argument fails. Independent science, free of vested interests, shows biological damage including insomnia, metabolic disruption, cancer, DNA breaks, infertility, headaches, flushing, heart problems, decreased learning, memory problems, irritability, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and oxidative stress. RFR exposure increases with each tower, antenna, meter, device, or wearable which emits it. If it were visible, we would find ourselves enveloped in thick electrosmog. Smart meters emit—24/7—polarized pulses, unlike radiation found in nature. Smart meters are placed on homes’ outside walls, which the RFR penetrates.

/rtucker/publications/files/energy-wired-wireless.pdf
Especially now, the rollout of this ill-conceived and opportunistic program will jeopardize physical and mental health. Smart meters add an invisible environmental toxin to the air in a pandemic. The solution is less radiofrequency radiation, not more, by using wired technology. It’s faster, more reliable, and safe.

CRONYISM BLOCKS ANOTHER AFFORDABLE COVID MED
(From the Alliance for Natural Health) https://anh-usa.org/cronyism-blocks-another-affordable-covid-med/ January 28, 2021 Despite positive data, mainstream medicine is ignoring an affordable COVID medicine. The Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) published a paper reviewing the evidence for ivermectin, an off-patent drug for river blindness, arguing that it has antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties that make it effective In the prevention and treatment of COVID. The evidence on ivermectin is, unsurprisingly, being ignored by the medical establishment because it is a cheap drug and can’t make boatloads of money for drug companies—much like hydroxychloroquine. Lib Note: ANH provides evidence re: the problems with hydroxychloroquine on this page of their website: https://anh-usa.org/fauci-tees-up-big-pharma-windfall/
All of this underlines how broken the healthcare system in this country is. The government pushes expensive, often dangerous medicines for COVID (remember remdesivir?) and other illnesses while ignoring low-cost alternatives that either cannot be strongly patented or are off-patent. Who will fund clinical trials on these alternatives when the exorbitant cost of the trials cannot be recouped? And without the trials, they can’t go through FDA approval and thus cannot make disease claims for treating COVID or any other disease. This arrangement keeps medicine expensive and drug companies rich.
Action Alert! Support our legislative proposal to reform a healthcare system that blocks access to natural treatments that generally cannot go through FDA approval. Please send your message immediately at: .https://secure3.convio.net/aahf/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=3734

GOOD NEWS
********************* MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR SIGNS FLAME RETARDANT BAN INTO LAW Chemical flame retardants are in sofas, mattresses, strollers, car seats, nap mats, electronics, and many other items. Over time, they get out of furniture and into our bodies, where they increase the risk of cancer, neurodevelopmental problems, and other harm. In December 2020, Massachusetts banned 11 toxic flame retardants. On January 1, 2021, Governor Baker signed H4900 An Act to Protect Children, Families and Firefighters. Huge thanks to Senator Cynthia Creem, Representative Marjorie Decker, the Professional Firefighters of Massachusetts, Fire Chiefs Association of Massachusetts, MassPIRG, MassCOSH, Clean Water Action, Built Environment Plus and everybody who fought, for over 8 years, to put the health of children and firefighters over the profits of the chemical industry.
MCDONALD’S ANNOUNCES GLOBAL BAN
OF TOXIC CHEMICALS IN FOOD PACKAGING https://saferchemicals.org/2021/01/13/mcdonalds-announces-global-ban-of-toxic-chemicals-in-food-packaging/?link_id=0&can_id=cd382edabb4c81eb1c1f7ac13966bb0a&source=email-you-did-it-53&email_referrer=email_1052680&email_subject=_-you-did-it YOU DID IT! After more than 75,000 people urged McDonald's to ban PFAS chemicals from food packaging, they're doing it! By 2025, these toxic chemicals will be gone from guest packaging at all 38,000+ McDonald's restaurants in 100+ countries! We're urging McDonald's to be more ambitious than their 2025 timeline, but either way, the largest fast-food chain in the world taking this action is a big deal! In the U.S. alone, more than 1 million Big Mac containers are used and discarded each day. And our recent test results showed that those boxes may be contributing to the PFAS “forever chemicals” pollution crisis.
PFAS chemicals have been linked to increased risk for certain cancers, immune system suppression, and reduced birth weight. When people eat food from this packaging, they may end up ingesting some of these chemicals too. And when toxic trash with PFAS goes into a landfill or incinerator, it can contaminate our air and water. McDonald's also disclosed it has already eliminated other toxic chemicals from guest packaging—BPA, BPS, and phthalates. YES!
