SUMMARY:Brownstone Pittsboro\, NC Supper Club\, Aug. 18th: Larry Burk
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILBrownstone Institute Supper Club\, Pittsboro\, NC \nForest Hall at Chatham Mills \nTuesday\, August 18\, 2026 @ 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM \n$48 includes full meal and non-alcohol drinks\, cash bar available \nWe are excited to be hosting Larry Burk\, MD\, retired Duke associate professor of radiology\, MRI expert and Certified Energy Health Practitioner (CEHP) who now works as an online health coach. \nAbout the Talk \nWireless Radiation Hazards and What You Can Do About It \nThe Telecommunications Act of 1996 prohibited communities from restricting the proliferation of cell phone towers due to environmental concerns. Since then\, there has been exponential growth of the wireless industry driven by billions of dollars of lobbying throughout the states and in Washington D.C. Despite the accumulation of a large amount of scientific evidence about the hazards of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and a successful 2021 lawsuit requiring the FCC and FDA to update their safety standards\, these warnings have been ignored in the rush to compete with China in the development of 5G\, AI and data centers. \nThe 5% of the population with severe electrohypersensitivity\, recently renamed electromagnetic radiation syndrome\, are the canaries in our coal mine signaling by their distressing physical symptoms such as insomnia\, cardiac palpitations\, headaches\, rashes\, and brain fog\, that there is cause for concern for the rest of us who may not sense the danger. This talk will address methods to assess the EMF exposure in your house\, simple actions you can take to decrease it\, and if necessary\, ways to shield against it. There are also opportunities for proactive ordinances in local communities to regulate the siting of future transmitters. In a world of wifi everywhere\, Larry will have many insights to share to help protect our well-being.  \nAbout the Speaker \nLarry Burk\, MD\, CEHP\, is a retired Duke associate professor of radiology and MRI expert who now works as an online health coach. He was one of the pioneering researchers in MRI of the knee and shoulder in the 1980s. His interest in EMF hazards began when he joined the Society for MRI Safety Committee and the Bioelectromagnetic Society. Initially the concerns centered around radar and power lines\, but were rapidly superseded by the expansion of wireless technology. He has experience lobbying the legislature in Raleigh regarding smart meters and 5G without success due to overwhelming industry funding for lobbyists. \nDr. Burk was a member of the Non-Ionizing Advisory Committee for the NC Radiation Protection Commission for 5 years and was instrumental in revising the official government website to accurately represent the EMF hazards. After leaving that position\, he joined the board of SafeTechNC.org\, a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness about educational and health concerns regarding technology in schools around the state including lobbying for bell to bell policies restricting cell phone access during the school day.  He also created an online course on EMF topics in 2021\, Staying Healthy in a 5G World: Heal Your Home\, Heal Your Body. \nAdditionally\, Larry was co-founder of Duke Integrative Medicine in 1998 and has been the administrator of the Frozen Shoulder Healing Facebook Group with 68K members since 2017. His 2025 book Frozen Shoulder Healing: Diagnostic Methods and Treatment Options is an Amazon bestseller in Musculoskeletal Diseases.
