EMF and Substation May Be A Real Issue - Keep Politics Talk OUT | Page 5

Another training camp is barely off the ground and we already have quite a number of injuries. This thing just doesn't seem to go away. This issue has been crippling this team for many years. I know Lynch and Company did their due diligence, but there's more than meets the eye. Most of the existing safety standard legislation is simply outdated and is not to take into other considerations such as those in Europe do. I am very aware of the effects of electromagnetic frequency radiation as I am a very sensitive to the health effects of EMF radiation. I t is my experience and have observed my reponse to these fields over man years that show that myself and others that I know are affected at levels far below the current U.S. health safety standard levels. It has been my ongoing intuitive sense that this is a significant factor in the statistically unexplainable level of ongoing injuries for the Niners season after season. A number of players have voiced their concerned. These are highly conditioned athletes who are deeply in touch with their bodies and how they are feeling and performing. Some have an intutive knowing that the power station is an issue. Kyle Juszczyk commented that if there is even a small effect on their bodies it should be mitigated as they do everything they can to take care of their bodies. I believe that what is different now is that we are in a very intensified EMF field due due to all the cell towers and other microwave towers from corporations, as well as Wi-Fi and cell phones. Then place your practice field right next to an electrical substation, which generates a lot of extremely low-frequency radiation, radiation, and it's likely you have a very toxic combination. The first link I'll share is a map that shows all the cell and other microwave towers around the practice field. https://www.antennasearch.com/HTML/search/search.php?address=4949+Centennial+Blvd%2C+Santa+Clara%2C+CA+95054 Here is a link to an Ai search I did, which also has links embedded that brings into question the current US goverment safe standards for EMF exposure. https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=why+US+EMF+safe+exposure+standards+may+be+to+high+for+many+sensitive+people.+Would+like+links+to+articles%2C+studies&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 There is now clear evidence that Even weak EMF signals can create oxidative stress in cells, damaging DNA and hindering repair mechanisms—factors linked to chronic disease. (Panagopoulos et al., 2021; Meyer et al., 2024; Schuermann & Mevissen, 2021). Here is a link that discusses this in some depth. https://www.aaemonline.org/recommendations-regarding-electromagnetic-radiofrequency-exposure/ One of the keys that stick out is the oxidative stress in cells causing damage to DNA and hindering repair mechanisms. You will see in the next two links, oxidative stress can have significant effect effect on muscles, skeleton, and connective tissues. Here's an Ai search with links... https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=would+oxidative+stress+have+an+effect+of+miuslce+and+other+soft+tissiues&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Here's another deeper dive by National Library of Medicine, National Center for Biotechnology Information on oxidative stress and it's effects on muscles, skelton and connective tissues. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10299531/ It certainly seems to me that there's more than ample evidence not to brush this whole issue aside, but instead to take a much deeper dive to determine whether any of the above is having having an effect on this unexplainable continuing pattern of injuries on this team. If there is even the slightest that this is the case, they should move the practice field. There are also very successful ways to mitigate EMF.. Here is one company whose products I use that absolutely work and could be used by the team at minimal cost. https://www.blushield.com If any of you have any ideas of how to spread this information and perhaps even get it into to the inner sanctums of the 49ers. It might be one of the most important things that could happen to this team going ahead.

Regardless of what the so-called "scientific studies" say, it just looks unpleasant to be there. The smell of roasted bird from birds being literally cooked mid-flight whenever they fly within 100 ft, the constant loud buzzing sound, the temperature being 10 degrees hotter there than the rest of Santa Clara, high amounts of static electricity leading to being shocked anytime you touch anything. I haven't been there, but that's how I imagine it to be. That doesn't seem like a great environment to practice.

This i 100% agree with. It's not aesthetically pleasing at all. Looks awful (but it doesn't cause injuries)

I read recently Jed has been talking about relocating the practice facility anyways?
I think it's more of finding space for camp. The roster is nearly double the players and adding fans to watch leaves hardly any space

Yes, that was it.

I remember when Kittle said they noticed the trees nearest the substation all died and they players said...wait a minute lol

Maybe move the substation and expand the practice facility where it is? Jed can afford it.

If you aren't poor , you are not letting your kids play near that or live near that .

a house next to that is probably 2/3 the price of a same house further away .

49ers practice if they don't move it soon

Is this like asbestos where they didn't find out it was harmful until years later?

Houses go for 1.5-1.8m around the substation. Peasants!

Which are you blaming more for the high number of injuries to the 49ers players 🤔 pic.twitter.com/LYKgYHKCo8

People would rather blame one guy who's probably following every industry best practice than admit that it's not normal for our players to be unable to walk past a lightbulb without it turning on.

You know every standard he's following?

The simple reality is we keep having injuries at a pace that simply shouldn't be there all while having some players who never miss time which if the substation was involved would be a bigger issue.

What bothers me are soft tissue issues. That's training related to me and I don't understand how after years of injuries the guy in charge keeps getting promoted. What does he have on the front office?

The girl working the front counter at CRUNCH would do a better job training and conditioning the team....#FireDustin

I don't know what standards they're following, but I have a hard time believing we're doing things wildly differently than the other 31 teams. I don't like calling for firing someone without being able to identify what they're actually doing wrong and the injury issues started before they got here. Especially when the team is currently practicing in Chernobyl (and the other 31 teams are not).
