Naturopath Questions Presence of Cell Tower Near NCNM
Dr. Ariel Policano says the school isn't being honest about possible effects

By: Christen McCurdy


Portland naturopath Ariel Policano has written and self-published a book about electomagnetic frequency radiation – what she and others sometimes call “dirty electricity” – warning of the dangers of cell phones, cell towers, microwaves and other forms of dirty electricity, which she says can cause neurochemical imbalances and is linked to cancers.

Recently, she purchased a German instrument called an acoustometer and started doing readings of the levels of EMF radiation in clients' homes and in other areas in the community, including those close to cell towers – eventually measuring the radiation levels at her alma mater, the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, whose campus is located directly across from a cell phone tower.

Policano has posted a video to YouTube of her carrying the acoustometer through the school's parking lot and into the building, where she got a reading of 50,000 microwatts per meter squared.

“These readings are absolutely off the chart and incredible in a school,” Policano said, which is doubly concerning given that patients are also seen in NCNM's teaching clinics.

“I am deeply concerned about these students. They are receiving levels of radiation that are frightening,” she told The Lund Report. “They have been informed that the tower is 'low emissions' by the school administration. This is a lie or a gross exaggeration of the truth. It is not a stretch to say that the very kind souls who are at this school to help others heal may have their own health seriously negatively impacted. However, no one is telling them anything about the potential dangers.”

Of course, predictably from a naturopath, an N.D. (Not a Doctor).

After consulting with other Health Group hosts, we have decided to lock the thread. Here's why:

This whole EMF business is woo. A great deal of research has been done on cell phone tower emissions, and no link to any harm has been found. The person who wrote this article is not an expert on electromagnetic emissions, and the device used to detect them is something sold on alternative medicine sites and is not recognized by the scientific medical community as a valid way to assess harmful emissions.

The Health Group does not allow questionable medical information like this unproven technology to be posted. You can post in General Discussion and your post will probably not be locked there.
