What is a smart meter and why do utilities want one on your home?
The idea behind a smart meter is that it gives power companies advanced capabilities that are beneficial for them but generally have no benefit for you. Instead, the effects are much more negative in terms of price increases, privacy issues, health issues and if the sources are correct - in the future, your electricity provider will be able to turn off your appliances.
A smart meter is a digital meter that replaces the rotary disc meter in your meter box and measures the amount of electricity used in the home.
It collects data on your electricity consumption throughout the day, and is supposed to be able to distinguish between the use of different devices (a question of privacy) and certainly monitor when you leave the house or go on vacation.
It uses high-frequency radiation to communicate collected data to other smart meters on the street; the one with the strongest signal at the base communicates it to the power company.
It allows utilities to vary the time range of peak and off-peak rates, based on daily changes in usage in the community. This tends to lead to an increase in the electricity bill, even doubling it in some cases.
It allows utilities to offer new electricity "plans" in which the customer agrees to consume electricity at certain times of the day rather than others, with the aim of reducing peak consumption.
A technology has already been developed that will be integrated into appliances such as air conditioners, for example. The smart meter will be able to switch appliances off for you when you use them outside their authorized hours. (Very "Big Brother", some would say).
Many people contact us to tell us that they don't feel very well in the 4 weeks following the installation of the smart meter.
Health: The high-frequency radiation produced by your home's smart meter (or those on the street) seems to be "the last straw" for those who have developed a sensitivity to electronic radiation. There's a lot of high- and low-frequency radiation present in the modern home from both indoor and outdoor sources, and people are exposed to it on a daily basis - that's before Geovital Academy's shielding solutions, of course. The addition of the smart meter just seems to tip the health balance. Therefore, radiation shielding should focus not only on the smart meter, but on all sources of radiation if long-term benefits are to be achieved.
Privacy: The smart meter has been compared to a surveillance system, with the ability to monitor what you do at any time of the day. This data is collected by a private company, which may be tempted to sell the information. Or a hacker could steal the data.
The bill goes up: Often, the cost of these new meters was included in electricity bills years before installation, so you pay for the meter as well as electricity bills often much higher, due to the dynamic ability the supplier now has to bill your electricity.
Vulnerability: The electricity company can very easily and quickly cut off your power remotely, either intentionally or by mistake. In theory, the same applies to anyone else who takes an interest. There are fears that hackers, or even terrorists, could disable entire cities or states if every property can be disabled by a radio signal.
What can I do if such a system is installed?
You can try to have it removed from your home, at the cost of a long and costly trial with an uncertain outcome.
You can stick our Clean-Waves 25mm patch on the meter to cancel out the harmful effect of the emitted waves. On the other hand, our patch can't do anything about your rising bills or the invasion of your privacy. Our technology is limited to your biological protection.
More generally, we advise you to wear one of our Body Guard bracelets to protect yourself against all the daily aggressions of electromagnetic waves which weaken you a little more every day (whether you feel it already or not).
Our technology is the only one to be covered by an international patent and to have demonstrated its effectiveness.
