What the World Health Organization Knew about the Dangers of Microwave Radiation Forty Two Years Ago! – Ciò che l’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità conosceva sui pericoli della Radiazione a Microonde quarantadue anni fa!

[EN]

Radiofrequency/Microwave Radiation has been known for several decades as being toxic.
Back in 1974 WHO mandated 60 scientists and issued a 40-report, 380-page, book showing this
toxicity.

It’s titled: “Biologic Effects and Health Hazards of Microwave Radiation – WHO
International Symposium Research Agreement No. 05-609-04 – 1974”

This document does not show on the WHO website today. Why is the WHO denying this information now?

HIGHLIGHTS

• Certain aspects of cell phone use negatively affect semen quality.
• Internet use via cellular networks has become an important risk to semen quality.
• The use of 3G or more advanced networks might have less damage to human sperm.
• Recruiting subjects from a general population makes the study typical and relevant.

ABSTRACT

Epidemiological and experimental evidence for detrimental effects of cell phone use on semen quality is still equivocal. And that recruiting participants from infertility clinic not from general population may raise the possibility of a selection bias. To investigate effects of cell phone use on semen parameters in a general population,We screened and documented the cell phone use information of 794 young men from the Male Reproductive Health in Chongqing College students (MARHCS) cohort study in 2013, followed by 666 and 568 in 2014 and 2015, respectively. In the univariate regression analyses, we found that the daily duration of talking on the cell phone was significantly associated with decreased semen parameters, including sperm concentration [β coefficient = − 6.32% per unit daily duration of talking on the cell phone (h); 95% confidence interval (CI), − 11.94, − 0.34] and total sperm count (− 8.23; 95% CI, − 14.38, − 1.63) in 2013; semen volume (− 8.37; 95% CI, − 15.93, − 0.13) and total sperm count (− 16.59; 95% CI, − 29.91, − 0.73) in 2015]. Internet use via cellular networks was also associated with decreased sperm concentration and total sperm counts in 2013 and decreased semen volume in 2015. Multivariate analyses were used to adjust for the effects of potential confounders, and significant negative associations between internet use and semen parameters remained. Consistent but nonsignificant negative associations between talking on the cell phone and semen parameters persisted throughout the three study years, and the negative association was statistically significant in a mixed model that considered all three years of data on talking on the cell phone and semen quality. Our results showed that certain aspects of cell phone use may negatively affect sperm quality in men by decreasing the semen volume, sperm concentration, or sperm count, thus impairing male fertility.

Good News from Israel – City Removed Wi-Fi from Schools for Health Reasons

20 April 2016 – Letter from Dafna Tachover

Hi All

It has been an exciting week in Israel on the fighting the wireless front, with 2 main developments that are likely related:

1) TV Documentary about Electro-Sensitivity and wireless – “HOW WE ARE KILLING OURSELVES –  WIRELESS RADIATION”

2)The City of Haifa ordered to disconnect Wi-Fi in all schools and planing to install wired Internet instead

 

TV Documentary – “HOW WE ARE KILLING OURSELVES –  WIRELESS RADIATION”

It started with a 30 minutes TV documentary about the epidemic of Electro-Sensitivity that was aired last Tuesday at 9pm on prime time TV and which got the highest rating of the day.

The name chosen for the documentary: “HOW WE ARE KILLING OURSELVES –  WIRELESS RADIATION”  leaves no doubt about the message of the movie. Press here for the movie (it is in Hebrew but some interviews are in English)

The tv channel run constant very effective and alarming promo to the movie that created a lot of buzz and to my opinion was even better than the movie itself:-) You can see the promo on my Facebook page.

The director planned to do 10 minutes on ES as part of a film about the diseases of the 21st century, but eventually, after working with us intensely on it, they understood the extent of the problem and the lie and how important it is to give an uncompromising warning to the public and decided to do a 30 minutes documentary mainly on ES and the Wi-Fi in schools.

The host was a leading TV media person and his tone was uncompromising – no maybes, precautionary etc, the tone was – there is an epidemic out there. Wireless harms an it is time for us to wake up as it is late already. He started by saying that at least 800,000 people in Israel, i.e. 10% of the population already suffer from different levels of ES and twice aired parts of my interview in which I was saying that the rates are already higher and will continue to increase.

The two government “experts” who lied to the Israeli Supreme Court admitted on the show that the thermal safety standard is irrelevant (opposite to what they told the Supreme Court). I intend to take action now that we have them on camera admitting the opposite to what they told the Supreme Court and left no doubt that they committed perjury.

Most importantly, the movie created a lot of buzz, undoubted ES and sent a very alarming message and was another strong warning that radiation harms are not potential but existing, an in a scale of epidemic. There was no “other side”. It is ridiculous to me how anyone who does a program/article on this topic insists on bringing the “other side” – why? Journalism is about exposing the truth. If the truth is clear as it is in the wireless issue, once a journalist understand what the truth is he does not and should not let the “other side” to continue and propagate its lie!

Many participated from Israel (Amir Borenstein, Yael Levin and her daughter Noa gave testimony about what it is like to be electro-sensitive, a few parents who fight the Wi-Fi in schools, I was intervied as an expert and activist, on the medical side we had Prof. Richter and Dr. Yael Stein, and the technical side was  presented by engineer Liran Raz who did a fantastic work)and from the US : Jennifer Wood whose testimony is very powerful and Prof. David Carpenter. They also mentioned the tragic story of Jenny Fry, the 15 Y/O from England who committed suicide because of the Wi-Fi in school.

City of Haifa announced it ordered to DISCONNECT Wi-Fi from schools

This is truly a Breakthrough  – The City of Haifa in Israel announced that it is removing Wi-Fi from schools. This was announced by the mayor, Yona Yahav, who said that “When there is a doubt, when it comes to our children, there is no doubt”. He ordered to have all the Wi-Fi disconnected immediately and to start and put wired Internet instead! I guess the definite tone of the tv documentary that aired this week and the buzz it created helped the city to make the final decision. I believe that now that one city decided to stop WI-Fi the trend will continue and will reverse the pro wi-fi trend. Hope other cities will join. Haifa is the 3rd largest city in Israel.

All of this is really exciting. It seems that the hard work we put in the past few years – the supreme court case, the work on and with the media and the uncompromising message I made sure to send are finally paying off. Please everyone out there – the message should be strong. Electro-Sensitivity is an epidemic it is NOT a 3% of “sensitive population” we are now in the double digits in terms of ES – it is an epidemic and the public must be told and warned. Wi-Fi in schools is a disaster and as a person who spends every day 2-4 hours on the phone with people and children who got sick and many contemplate committing suicide I urge you all to be uncompromising. The truth, and all of it must be told.

Continued good luck to us all and thanks to anyone out there who stands up to evil and stupidity.

Dafna

Vicinity to wireless radiation sources and the prevalence of various health problems – a pilot survey

Background and aim: A rise in exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the general population in the last two decades (e.g. from wi-fi and mobile phone networks) coincides with a rise in prevalence of a broad array of health symptoms; often of allergic/asthmatic/oversensitivity character. Evidence is building up indicating that EMF exposure indeed is the cause of this increase, but possible harmful effects of EMF may present differently in different people and adaptation may occur. The aim of the present pilot study is to survey the possible associations between various common EMF exposure sources and a broad array of symptoms and signs. Moreover, this study will test the usefulness of a questionnaire constructed for the purpose and provide data to design larger future studies.

Methods: An electronic questionnaire asking into EMF exposure sources and subjective symptoms was posted to special interest websites. For five EMF exposure sources (mobile phone, wi-fi, occupational exposure, energy-saving lightbulbs, mobile phone towers) we assessed the association with each of seventeen health problems (e.g. sleep, cognitive, eye problems) in logistic regression models, adjusted for sex, age, urbanicity and smoking status.

Results: Sixty people responded. Significant associations were seen for a nearby mobile phone tower (more cognitive, head, eye, body and skin problems) and for constant wi-fi presence (less cognitive, eye, mouth, skin, lung and immune system problems).

Conclusions: Several significant associations were found in this broad pilot survey of possibly EMF-related health problems. Mobile phone towers seem to be the most problematic of the various EMF exposure sources; this association may well be confounded by attribution bias. The counterintuitive association of fewer symptoms with increased presence of wi-fi may be explained by selection and adaptation since the questionnaire was electronic, and people can shift to cable-based internet at home when they claim wi-fi is affecting them.

Stories From Parents About Their Children

“www.parentsforsafetechnology.org”

“Headaches, insomnia, memory and concentration problems, anxiety, allergies, rashes are commonly reported.

  Read these stories from parents. (Keep scrolling down for more)

 

Effect the Cell Towers Have Had on My Son

From A California Mother in the USA received July 2015

My son developed anxiety, OCD, insomnia, irrational fears, various neurological problems, personality changes immediately after the upgrade of an AT&T cell tower next to his school to 4G LTE technology, which was completed in June 2013.  I didn’t even know there were cell towers next to his school until March 2015 because these cell towers were camouflaged as ball field light poles. (One was 300 ft away from the school, the other was 600 ft away)

His symptoms suddenly began when he started 4th grade in August 2013.  He suddenly became fearful of fire drills, and they gave him anxiety attacks to the point where he had to be called out of class and into the principal’s office prior to the drills.  He developed severe anxiety and a low threshold for stress.  He couldn’t concentrate on his homework.  He would stare at the instructions and not understand what he was supposed to do – I had to explain instructions to him and I had to help him.  He could only work on homework for 20 minutes at a time before he became extremely frustrated and stressed.  He became extremely forgetful, often forgetting his books and other materials needed for homework.  He suddenly developed OCD and became paranoid about germs.  He developed insomnia and could only sleep for 7-8 hours a night, whereas before he used to sleep at least 10.  He cried daily over trivial matters, daily life became overwhelming for him, he often asked why he became sick suddenly and why he felt so stressed all the time, and he even began to say life would be better in Heaven because then he would no longer feel so stressed and sick.  I was devastated to hear my son say these things.

He suddenly had behavioral problems, which his teachers never said he had before the 4th grade.  When I had him undergo a psychological evaluation, it determined he had OCD, Anxiety, and ADD – he did not have any of these problems prior to the cell tower upgrade, except possibly for mild ADD that did not present as a problem.  He also suddenly developed constipation, where he used to be regular.  He developed unexplained rashes on the backs of his hands.  His allergies went from mild to severe.  His personality changed.  He changed from being a sweet and thoughtful child to being angry and stressed most of the time who had a hard time functioning in school.  Simple tasks took him twice as long to do – getting ready in the morning took him 1.5 hrs where it used to take him 45 min. He became a different person and I was terrified I was losing him to some mysterious illness.  Fourth grade was a terrible year for him and for us as a family – it took a tremendous amount of effort just to get through each day one day at a time.

His pediatrician ran extensive tests on him and could not find anything wrong physiologically and ruled out any diseases.  We began all kinds of treatments to try to get him back to normal, including neurofeedback, acupuncture, nutritional supplements, herbal medicine.  He began to see many new medical practitioners that he didn’t have before, including pediatric GI specialists, psychologists, psychiatrists, acupuncturists, allergists, and a neurofeedback specialist.  He had at least 2 medical appointments a week!  In March 2014, after 6 months of hard work and thousands of dollars spent on these various therapies, he began to return to normal and he was able to function normally again.  It was also during this time that we instituted a 504 (special ed) for him for the first time.  No one knew what was wrong, and I didn’t make the connection that it was due to the cell towers next to the school until I discovered them in March 2015.

By June 2014 (after 10 months of therapy) he was almost back to himself, and he was functioning normally throughout the 5th grade until April 2015. His OCD was gone, his anxiety levels were down to a manageable level, and his ADD was mild and manageable.  He became a happy, normal child again, and I was grateful to have him back to himself, even though he still needed to continue with his various therapies to keep his symptoms under control.

Then in March 2015 I saw workers working on the ball field light poles – the covers were off, and I saw cell antennas – that’s when I discovered there were cell towers next to the school.  I asked them what they were doing, and they said they were upgrading the T-Mobile tower to 4G LTE.  I was shocked there was a cell tower so close to school (300ft).  So I went to City Hall to investigate, and that’s when I discovered the presence of a second cell tower (AT&T) next to the school at 600 ft, and that it had been upgraded to LTE in June 2013!  That’s when I realized what triggered my son’s sudden anxiety and severe allergy problems in August 2013.

So I bought an RF meter to measure the RF power densities around the school, and I found that they were at a maximum of 0.3uW/cm2 outside.  So I researched to see what kinds of symptoms could be expected at these levels. That’s when I found the 2012 Bioinitiative Report.  At the RF levels measured, it was high enough to increase the risk of leukemia by a factor of 2, increase headaches, insomnia, memory and concentration problems, stress hormones and anxiety, behavioral issues, and rashes according to the 2012 Bioinitiative Report.  When I saw that the symptoms my son had matched what was in the 2012 Bioinitiative Report for the RF power densities measured at his school, that was further confirmation of what triggered my son’s anxiety and severe allergy problems.  That’s when I started taking action.

Within a few days that the second cell tower (T-Mobile) was upgraded to 4G LTE in April 2015, he began showing the same signs again – extreme allergies to he point that he’s developed asthma now (1st time), OCD reappearing, anxiety escalating.  His younger brother who is 6 years old has started to show some similar symptoms that he had not before. His younger brother has been having GI problems, allergies (never had allergies before), and changes in mood (emotions).  As a parent, having seen him go through these changes twice immediately after the cell tower upgrades, I have to do something.  This could not have been a coincidence.  These are just the effects I am seeing on the outside.  What is going on inside of him?  This must be affecting other kids too.  That’s when I started working on setting safer cell tower setbacks from schools – 1500ft, which is the usual recommended standard based on scientific studies.

That’s my story.  Like most people, I had no idea that cell towers could have such a profound effect on one’s health and well-being.  I have a B.S. degree in Chemical and Bio Engineering, and it was hard for me to accept initially that RF radiation could have been the cause of my son’s illness.  However after doing much research on the subject (including Andrew Goldsworthy’s papers) and experiencing what I did firsthand, it was the only rational conclusion.

I hope you will share your stories too if you or a family member has been affected by cell tower radiation.  By publicizing our stories we will bring awareness to this issue and force our government (FCC) to change its outdated regulations on safe levels of RF exposure from 1996.

 

Headaches From A New Phone?

US parent, Summer 2015

I can hardly believe what I am about to tell you.
It’s about me, my daughter and a phone.

I remember the day that we ordered the new cordless DECT phone  in the spring of 2012.  I plugged it in  and  placed it on the desk  next to our family computer.
Soon afterwords  my daughter started complaining of headaches.

I loved that phone.  I could take the handset and go to my neighbor’s pool and the phone still works great.  I thought it was awesome that I could be lounging outside in the trees,  watching my children play in the pool and still be able to receive phone calls even when I was not at my house.  What I didn’t know is that the fact that the phone worked hundreds of feet away  was an example of just how strong the radiation was from  the phone base to the handset.

I myself started to feel sick and I could not understand what was going on.  I felt extremely tired, had headaches  and basically felt like not doing the things I usually did.  brain fog.  I spent hours working on the computer every day right next to that phone base. (FYI  the computer was fully wired).   Before that phone  came into my life  I was one of those high-powered moms who never got sick,  volunteered for everything, baked muffins  did 300 things at night after the kids went to sleep.  A few weeks after we got that phone I would sit in front of the computer like a zombie every night “too tired” to do anything.

If you were sitting at the computer your head would be 5 to 8 inches away from the dect cordless phone base.  According to the manual of the phone  a person’s body should be 8 inches or 20 CM away from the base so you do not get radiation exposures  at thermal levels.  I, of course, did not know this  at the time.
As a busy working mother I  never made the time to go see a doctor that Spring although  to be honest I actually thought that I might have cancer or chronic fatigue syndrome,  I just felt terrible but in a weird way. I am not the type to complain so I never spoke of it. Yet my daughter did.

I  decided to take my daughter to see the pediatrician because her complaints were so unusual and started all of sudden that Spring.
“Do I have to go to school?”
” I’m so tired mom”
“I have a headache mom’
“I can’t do that mom”
” I just don’t feel well mom”

She was learning to type and would come home from school and immediately go to the computer and play typing games.  Her head was inches away from the phone base. She complained at nighttime. She would complain in the morning and she would complain when I picked her up at school.   Previously  she would not complain about much unless she  was coming down with a fever. I knew something was wrong.

The pediatrician spent a significant amount of time asking my daughter questions trying to  see if my daughter was anxious or had any mental problems.   The Dr. did a full physical exam but held off on blood tests stating that “perhaps  my daughter had an issue with school.” “Maybe this will resolve in the summer,  perhaps something is going on at school that we don’t know about”  she said, ” it  also sounds like she needs more sleep and you should get her to sleep earlier.”

” We have a 7:30 bedtime and always have, ”  I said.  I knew that  going to sleep earlier was not going to solve this problem because we already went to bed early enough.   I also knew that my daughter loved school, her friends and  I did not think this was a psychological issue.

Lo and be-hold  summer came and the headaches stopped.  Immediately after the last day of classes our family went camping and then had back-to-back summer trips.  We were only at home but for a few days that summer to pack and unpack for the next trip. The headaches and tiredness went away. ” Maybe it was stress about school?” I thought. “Maybe she was just tired?”

It was over that summer that I learned that wireless devices emitted radiation.  I walked in the house with a radiation meter and saw extremely high radiation levels coming out of that phone base.  I threw out the phone and got a corded plug in  phone and we have not had headaches like that since.  My daughter does not have the intense complaints that she used to have.

I cannot be sure that that phone cause these symptoms but it sure seems to me that there is an association.  Yes we are exposed to wireless everywhere  but to the levels that we were exposed to from that cordless phone were extremely high.  I would often get headaches from my cell phone if I used it for too long and in response I used it minimumly. (I never had an iPhone and I hear they cause worse headaches.)

I had no idea that the cordless phone base  was emitting radiation all the time.  Even when I was not talking on the phone- the base was putting out a high rate of radiation.  I am not only concerned about the biological effects from low levels of this radiation,  but I am also concerned that me and my children were exposed to  thermal (heating) levels  that surpass our US government guidelines.   Why didn’t we know that it stated in the manual that if we were to close to the phone base we could ” exceed FCC regulations”.

Why was I not informed? 

I wish I had known  this when my children were younger.  I am so thankful that I did not keep this phone base by my bed because I know  a family who keep the cordless phone base on the night stand by their bed.  These are the same friends that also take sleeping pills to sleep and are always complaining that they cannot get sleep.  Could it be the phone base?

Here is how I see the situation now.  Yes, me and my children are exposed to wireless everywhere but  when we got that  phone  we were exposed to constant daily intents radiation levels that we had not been exposed to before.  It was the tipping point. It must have overloaded our system. It was constant radiation.

We have since removed all wireless devices from our home.   Yes, we have a phone and yes, we have a computer but they are all wired (no Wi-Fi) and we are perfectly happy.  There is no lack of technology in our home.  (In fact I still think we look at screens too much). With my radiation meter  I can see that the RF levels are at 0 in my home. ZERO. (Not in the thousands as they were before from that phone)

However,  it is becoming increasingly hard  to find fun family places to go where we are not being bombarded by this radiation at levels that many scientists state are completely unacceptable.   When I go outside  to the local rec center or the library my radiation meter shows levels that are far above levels that have shown harm in research studies. Schools are upgrading their wireless networks and using very powerful systems  which is similar  to having that DECT cordless phone base  right near your head.

When I talk to other parents they (just as I was a few years ago) are usually completely unaware that there are any health risks related to wireless.   Yet so very many people have told me ” I get headaches from my cell phone.”  Perhaps a headache is not the end of the world -but the real question that we should be asking is…”Why are we getting these headaches?”  “What else is going on in our brains ?” “How is this radiation impacting our children’s brains?”

The scientific research that I have read shows that this radiation kills brain cells and very specifically damages young brains and interferes with proper brain development.   I do not want my children to have damaged brains because I simply wanted the convenience of a home cordless phone or laptop.

It is hard to believe that I just wrote a story about my family and a phone.   I am so thankful that I learned about this issue and I hope that every person reading it will take some time to look at this issue.   There is a lot of industry spin out there just like there was in the 50s concerning tobacco and of course –lead in paint.  The wireless industry is far more powerful than the tobacco and paint companies.

Just remember, there was no pre-market testing on these devices.  
Nobody checked to be sure that this radiation was safe for our kids. There is no proof of safety and a lot of red flags. If you are skeptical just try reducing the wifi in your home for two weeks and see how you feel. Try it. My and my husband were  shocked at how much better we slept and how we simply felt so much better physically. My energy is back !

My child’s health is nonnegotiable.  I don’t jump off cliffs and I make sure the kids have seatbelts on.

Exposing children to constant daily levels of an untested questionable radiation just makes no sense.

As a parent it is very hard to find time to do anything other then work and take care of my kids.  Howeverthis wireless business just takes the cake.  We have to do something.  I urge every parent and citizen reading this to take one step outside of your comfort zone . We must raise this issue in our community,  with our friends,  at our  schools,  at our local city Council meeting  and with all our elected officials.
Parents need to be informed about wireless radiation.  We have a right to know. 

 

My Children Are Not Guinea Pigs

Letter from a US Mother July 2015

I am basically a mother who uses common sense with her children. When I learned that wireless radiation was not necessarily safe I took the time to read. The more I read the more concerned I became. I began to wonder about how this radiation might be affecting my child who was being exposed every day at school.
There is no question that this radiation permeates bodies. The scientific question of the day seems to be -to what degree it could harm people.

I frankly don’t care. I don’t care if it is proven or not. There is enough research out there to be concerned. It took decades for cigarettes to be proven harmful and they are still legal. I simply do not think my children’s health should be risked. If this radiation is so safe, then why don’t they do a large research study involving children? Oops. They cannot to do such a research study because that would be unethical. Then why are we exposing our children to it in real life when we cannot expose them to this radiation in an experiment?

I do not need to wait for a scientific consensus. I certainly am not going to wait for the government to take action.

I believe that I have a right as a parent to decide what sort of risks I am comfortable taking with my children.
Does this makes sense?

I am working hard to raise this issue in my local school. Please share this with other parents.

 

We are calling for more stories from parents about how the wireless issue has effected their families.

Please send us your story to share by emailing parentsforsafetechnology@gmail.com.

Letter to School Officials About the Threat of Wi-Fi in Schools

17 Aprile 2016 – “Omega News”

Hi Janis

MANY thanks for sending us your outstanding letter to School Officials. I’m translating it in French and have posted your Engish version at http://www.cqlpe.ca/pdf/LetterToSchoolOfficials.pdf and it is now linked at

http://www.cqlpe.ca/#DR

Please note that while checking the source of the following quote (which I could not find in the Convention on the Rights of the Child) …

United Nations Declaration of the Rights of the Child, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), asserts: “that every child should have the opportunity to grow and develop free from preventable illness or injury.”

… I’ve discovered that it comes in fact from the American Academy of Pediatrics. So I’ve amended your letter accordingly to…

The American Academy of Pediatrics asserts: “that every child should have the opportunity to grow and develop free from preventable illness or injury.”

http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/99/2/279

According to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989):

Article 3

etc.

PS Un mot à Stephanye: Je vais réviser ta lettre ce soir et te revenir là-dessus sans faute. Merci beaucoup de l’avoir préparée. Et bonne idée de laisser faire le sondage détaillé vu que l’arrivée du Wi-Fi est récente.

Hi all

Sorry I don’t speak french but I have a letter that I haven’t sent out yet and thought if you needed to use any of this information you are welcome to

Dear School Officials,
Parents have sent School Officials 1,000’s of peer reviewed studies by scientists and medical experts showing the harmful effects of wireless technology associated with long term exposure to microwave radiation such as increased infertility, neurodegenerative disease and cancer. Experts both nationally and internationally continue to call on the Canadian government to implement much stricter exposure standards for radio frequency radiation to mitigate risk, especially for infants and children who are most vulnerable.

Why have School Officials refused to heed the recommendations from the highest level of public health? The World Health Organization (WHO), declared that parents should reduce children’s chronic exposure to RF/MWR where ever possible to mitigate risk for harmful effects, pointing out that any reasonable measure to limit or reduce exposure would be benefit children, fetuses and those with EHS.

According to a report delivered June 18th 2015, by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health (HESA) the microwave radiation from wireless devices is now a “serious public health issue”.  The Canadian Parliamentary Committee discussed possible links between RF exposure and cancer, reproductive issues and autism. Concerns were raised about RF exposure in schools due to use of Wi-Fi; the need for RF exposure limits to protect vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, infants and children, and persons with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS)

http://www.citizensforsafetechnology.org/HESA-Report-of-the-Standing-Committee-on-Health-June-17-2015,49,4240

The International EMF Scientist Appeal, signed by over 200 EMF research scientists, university professors and medical doctors from 40 countries, called upon the United Nations, the WHO, and the UN Member States to address the emerging public health crisis

http://emfscientist.org/

Health Canada has disregarded or minimized certain recent studies, such as cancer, DNA damage, protein synthesis, stress response, and detrimental biological health effects in humans that occur at radiation levels far below the existing Safety Code 6 Guideline. During the hearings four international experts testified that Health Canada is “either unwilling or not competent” to judge current scientific evidence that wireless radiation is harmful to our health. Health Canada is not protecting the public.

http://www.c4st.org/HCSubmissions

In February 20, 2013, in the Superior Court of Quebec, James McNamee, Health Canada scientist admitted that the Safety Code 6 guidelines for microwave radiation(which includes radiation from devices such as mobile phones, cell phone antennas, Wi-Fi, wireless toys and baby monitors, smart meters etc. is based ONLY on preventing a heating effect!  That is burning of the skin within 6 minutes.

The statement in the Preface of Safety Code 6 (2009) is the following (page 3):

The purpose of this code is to establish safety limits for human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic energy in the frequency range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz. The safety limits in this code apply to all individuals working at, or visiting, federally regulated sites. These guidelines may also be adopted by the provinces, industry or other interested parties.

Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 does NOT apply to provinces, industry, or other interested parties.  The provinces have the authority to establish levels far more restrictive than Safety Code 6.

Dr. McNamee finally admitted that the guidelines in question regarding cell towers are based ONLY on preventing a thermal effect and it is now accurate to say that Canada does not have a guideline to protect Canadians from long-term exposure to “non-thermal” levels of microwave radiation! (Dr. Magda Havas)

In February 2015, Lloyds of London officially reiterated its long-held policy to exclude any liability coverage for injuries, “Directly or indirectly arising out of, resulting from, or contributed to by electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation, radio waves or noise.”  (Exclusion 32)  This would include microwave wireless radiation emitted from the commercial grade Wi-Fi transmitters and the multiple wireless devices.

http://www.citizensforsafetechnology.org/Lloyds-of-London-excludes-coverage-for-RFEMR-claims,2,4168

The Ministry of Education has put the onus on the individual School Boards to approve the installation of this wireless technology thus relieving themselves of any liability. It is made very clear in a letter to the BCCPAC dated November 19, 2012, from the Ministry of Education, the Board of Education has the authority to develop policies addressing the use of wireless technology in schools and to implement the appropriate technology where it is deemed necessary to support the education needs of students.

When parents requested ONE peer reviewed study proving ‘wifi was safe for children and the unborn,’ Health Officers were unable to present one.  The Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Kendall has stated in a letter in March 2015, “Nor, as others have suggested do I make statements that such radiation is ‘safe’ “.

Vancouver Island School Medical Officer Dr. Stanwick has stated: Upon review of the evidence, the prevailing position in this province from experts at the federal, provincial and regional levels is that the evidence reveals that “Wi-Fi exposure in schools does not pose a level of risk that is unacceptable.” The other chief medical health officers in the province, Provincial Health Officer, Ministry of Health and other federal and provincial agencies hold this position.

Stating there is in fact a risk.

Why are School Officials refusing Parents, Teachers and Students their RIGHT TO KNOW http://www.c4st.org/PMB about the health risks from this unregulated technology that has never been tested for safety? Safety Manuals and Disclaimers have not been disclosed, for example:

Apple instructs its users: “Read all safety information below and operating instructions before using iPad to avoid injury.”

“…to be sure that human exposure to RF energy does not exceed the FCC, IC, and European Union guidelines, always follow these instructions and precautions: Orient the device in portrait mode with the Home button at the bottom of the display, or in landscape mode with the cellular antenna (located under the black edge at the top of the device) away from your body or other objects”

A child cannot hold an iPad without being exposed to microwave radiation pulsating every 4 seconds. That’s 900 bursts of radiation in one hour!


The user manual also recommends users (many children): “you can further limit your exposure by limiting the amount of time using iPad Wi-Fi+3G in wireless mode, since time is a factor in how much exposure a person receives, and by placing more distance between your body and iPad Wi-Fi + 3G, since exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.”

Samsung 3G Laptop: “Usage precautions during 3G connection:  Keep safe distance from pregnant woman’s stomach or from lower stomach of teenagers.  Body work operation:  Important safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation (RF) exposure.  To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the Notebook PC must be used with a minimum of 20.8 cm (8 Inches) antenna separation from the body.”

Apple “iPhone’s SAR measurement may exceed the FCC exposure guidelines for body-worn operation if positioned less than 15 mm (5/8th inch) from the body. When using iPhone near your body for voice calls or for wireless data transmission over a cellular network, keep iPhone at least 15 mm (5/8th inch) away from the body, and only use carrying cases, belt clips or holsters that do not have metal parts and that maintain at least 15 mm (5/8th inch) separation between iPhone and the body

Why are teachers being forced to claim disability or early retirement, parents having to take their children out of school for home schooling and others forced in frustration to give up their parental right to protect their children?  Why is it no amount of evidence, peer reviewed studies, presentations by scientists and medical experts fail to make School Officials understand this mandatory exposure to microwave radiation causes permanent and irreversible damage?

Parents want to know why are School Officials willfully turning a deaf ear to the voices of our children who are suffering from this RF exposure?

Polish government prepares act on electromagnetic protection

22 April 2016 – “www.telecompaper.com”

The Polish Ministry of Digitalisation has announced its preparation of an act on the control of the effects of electromagnetic radiation from radiocommunications devices on human life and health, reports Telko.in. The first consultations are planned for the beginning of May. Discussions on public concerns related to electromagnetic radiation are conducted under the patronage of the President’s Office.

After the first round of the discussions, the ministry decided to withdraw the controversial provision on facilitating the placement of radiocommunications devices from the draft amendment of the act to support telecommunications services and network development.

The task of the new consultation group will be discussing the assumptions of the draft act with experts and the public and subsequent preparation of the draft. The group will include representatives of the public sector, the public, telecommunications operators and experts in the field of radio-communications and medicine, namely the Institute of Communications and Collegium Medicum of the University Jagiellonski.

The new acts will enforce supervision of emissions standards, tightening sanctions and increase the influence of the local community on the process of placing new radiocommunications devices.

Depression and Suicide caused by exposure to wireless microwave radiation

18 April 2016 – “Mobilfunk Newsletter – EMF Omega News”, by Martin Weatherall

Attawapiskat First Nation
Ontario
P0L 1A1

Re http://www.torontosun.com/2016/04/10/ontario-first-nation-community-declares-state-of-emergency-after-suicide-attempts

Dear Band Council

I am sorry to hear about the children of Attawapiskat suffering depression and their large number of suicide attempts.

There are a large number of scientific studies which indicate that wireless microwave radiation (cell phones, cordless telephones, smart meters, Wi Fi and community antennas cause serious depression problems and increased suicide.

If you have Wi Fi, cordless telephones and antennas in your community, your children are likely being exposed to powerful wireless radiation 24 hours a day.  This is quite likely to effect them neurologically and cause them to be depressed.  This is not just happening in your community, McLean’s Magazine has reported on depression and suicide at universities http://www.macleans.ca/education/uniandcollege/is-there-a-mental-health-crisis-on-campus/  and  http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/the-broken-generation/ .  Universities were some of the first places to widely use Wi Fi and new wireless technologies, the depression students suffer is most likely caused by exposure to powerful wireless radiation.

A similar problem is also being reported by Canadian school children – Young Canadians are suffering from rising levels of anxiety, stress, depression and even suicide. Close to 20 per cent – or one in five – have a mental health issue http://globalnews.ca/news/530141/young-minds-stress-anxiety-plaguing-canadian-youth/  .  These wide ranging depression problems never occurred prior to the widespread use of wireless technology.

Research over more than sixty years has clearly shown that microwave radiation, even at low exposure levels, causes significant neurological and depression problems.  This is likely to be must more severe and harmful to children whose brains are still developing.  I have attached several documents which will help you to understand the dangers and more links below so that you can do further research.  You should know that Health Canada, the government department that should be looking after your safety in this regard, are the people who are ignoring the masses of scientific research showing biological effects and they are putting Canadians in great danger.  Depression is just one of the well known health problems that wireless radiation is involved.  Heart problems, various cancers and various immune problems and auto immune diseases are also being severely effected by wireless radiation.

Here are some of the links – http://www.c4st.org/WiFiCanadianSchools   http://weepnews.blogspot.ca/    http://www.magdahavas.com/    http://microwavenews.com/   https://www.emfscientist.org/index.php/emf-scientist-appeal    http://www.powerwatch.org.uk/science/studies.asp    http://www.wifiinschools.com/index.html

NO WI-FI DAYS – 29 e 30 Aprile 2016

Elettrosensibili

La Associazione Italiana Elettrosensibili prenderà parte a questa importante iniziativa, della quale condividiamo informazioni come diramate dalle fonti ufficiali:

In concomitanza con l’INTERNET DAY annunciato dal Presidente del Consiglio Matteo Renzi per le celebrazioni del 30° anniversario dello sbarco del web in Italia, abbiamo pensato che fosse necessaria una mobilitazione efficace ed energica.

Abbiamo deciso di creare il Comitato Promotore del NO WI FI DAYS indicendo per il 29 e 30 Aprile 20016 due giornate di mobilitazione ispirate al Principio di Precauzione, in cui invitiamo a spegnere il segnale Wi-Fi per sensibilizzare la collettività sui rischi e i pericoli per la salute pubblica legati all’annosa presenza ubiquitaria dell’irradiazione delle onde elettromagnetiche prodotte dal segnale Wi-Fi.

Vi invitiamo a partecipare al Comitato Promotore del NO WI FI DAYS per indire una contromanifestazione simbolica nelle giornate del 29 e 30 Aprile 2016, attraverso un’azione tesa ad incoraggiare la popolazione italiana a spegnere per quelle giornate il segnale Wi-Fi, per diffondere una maggiore consapevolezza e una presa di coscienza collettiva sul problema, creando una rete di dialogo sui social network, ponendo poi la questione all’attenzione degli organi di informazione e mass media, nonché alla classe politica parlamentare, regionale e locale, alla quale si chiederà di adottare misure di trasparenza e più restrittive sui valori di emissione elettromagnetica.

Pertanto è gradita la partecipazione della Vostra Associazione/Comitato/Fondazione che, in caso di adesione, verrà inserita nella lista dei costituenti il comitato (nel caso in cui si disponesse di un logo-marchio, lo si può inviare per l’inserimento). Sinora è stato predisposto un testo di base di presentazione del progetto che alleghiamo per una vostra condivisione.
