No doubt Arthur Firstenberg was a great man. Just to correct the record, his book the "Invisible Rainbow" was not the first such book to connect major diseases with the electrification of society. Eight years earlier, Dr Sam Milham published "Dirty Electricity and the Diseases of Civilization", which also delved into this topic based upon his Thesis for his Medical License and his degree in Epidemiology. However, Arther Firstenberg went in a little different direction talking about the effects upon the ionisphere, and the electromagnetic envelope that encircled the planet, whereas Dr Milham was more concerned with local effects, as well as the effects of traveling electric currents in the earth from so called " grounded" circuits that would travel for many miles making whole communities sick
Arthur was completely dedicated to the cause. His book The Invisible Rainbow is very well researched and supported. This will cause me to find it and begin reading it again. Arthur encouraged and supported me to intervene in the public agency's decision in New Mexico in favor of smart meters years ago. He was so patient. I was not willing to give up my cell phone as he recommended but here in Elk Grove, California I led the grassroots campaign to keep cell antennas away from our homes. This was in 2018 - 2019. The direct result of our grassroots campaign and the 200 people who wrote to the City opposing the zoning change proposed by AT&T was a big victory for the resident, good public policy and the environment. The City Council approved a change in our zoning code that incorporated what I call the "front yard rule for cell antenna placement." According to our zoning code the City will not permit a cell antenna located immediately adjacent to or immediately across the street from the front yard of a residential dwelling. They won't permit a cell antenna in your front yard. There is also an appeal procedure for the carriers. My estimate is that the front yard rule has protected at least 90% of homes in Elk Grove from having a cell antenna nearby. In other cities and counties the carriers can get permits for putting a cell antenna 20' from a home. The carriers have not sued the City over the front yard rule. They have accepted it, through their actions, as being a proper exercise of the City's zoning authority as preserved by the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Arthur would be happy to know this. Every city and county in a state that has not passed a pre-emption law can incorporate the front yard rule into its zoning ordinance.

Thank you World Council for Health for sharing this information. Arthur had such a wonderful sense of purpose. His intelligence, sensibility and most of all his courageousness in establishing the cell phone task force and ongoing research against such greatly opposing powers - so much to be admired. A man who brought people together to communicate their concerns. A brilliant mind who will be sadly missed.
