E’ allergica alle automobili La singolare malattia di Debbie

[Articolo molto datato comunque utile da leggere.

Si parlava di casi di Elettrosensibilità già quasi dieci anni fa, descritti come condizioni molto rare e dovute a qualcosa (i Campi Elettromagnetici) la cui pericolosità veniva negata.

Eppure le prove della pericolosità c’erano già allora, solo che allora era ancora possibile permettersi di negare o minimizzare il problema.

Adesso sta diventando sempre più complicato farlo, innanzitutto perché le prove della pericolosità dei Campi Elettromagnetici si sono arricchite di ulteriori studi, inoltre molte vecchie prove prima occultate sono state recuperate, e poi negli ultimi anni sempre più persone si sono ammalate di Elettrosensibilità in modo anche grave.

Si tratta di invalidi sotto ogni punto di vista, i quali sebbene adesso stiano soffrendo nell’indifferenza di tutti, in futuro necessariamente graveranno sulla società, perché prima o poi non si potrà più negare il problema e qualcuno dovrà prendersi carico di tutte queste persone la cui vita è stata distrutta dagli interessi economici dietro al business del Wireless.

Non sarà cosa facile, perché ci si troverà a dover risarcire danni biologici (soprattutto quello genotossico), danni materiali (molti malati hanno dovuto vendersi tutto per sopravvivere, inoltre ci sono i mancati guadagni derivanti dalla impossibilità di lavorare, senza contare le spese affrontate per curarsi e proteggersi) e danni morali (dovuti all’isolamento forzato, che ha portato a dover rinunciare alle relazioni sociali ed in molti casi anche a dover rinunciare a crearsi una famiglia, cosa che già di per sé è devastante).

Ci chiediamo fino a che punto si dovrà arrivare prima di porre fine a questa follia, che si sta configurando come la più spaventosa emergenza sanitaria, sociale ed economica che il mondo dovrà affrontare.]

I campi elettromagnetici le provocano un doloroso arrossamento della pelle
e forte lacrimazione. E deve vivere in campagna in una villa speciale

Se c’è gente che dell’auto non può fare a meno Debbie Bird invece deve assolutamente evitarle: i campi elettromagnetici le provocano un doloroso arrossamento della pelle e forte lacrimazione.

“Non posso più fare cose che fino a poco fa davo per scontate”, ha dichiarato Bird, 39 anni, al ‘Daily Mail’. “La mia vita di tutti i giorni era fortemente influenzata da (strumenti che emanano) campi elettromagnetici”.
“Non posso entrare nell’auto dei miei amici. Altrimenti inizio subito ad avere mal di testa e la pelle del viso mi brucia”, ha aggiunto. “Anche fare shopping è diventato un problema. Non posso andare in posti come Starbucks dove sono installati strumenti wi-fi”.

Bird ha capito di essere sensibile alle onde elettromagnetiche lo scorso anno quando traslocò assieme a suo marito e a sua figlia Antonia a Bowdon, 25 chilometri a sud-ovest di Manchester. Ben presto si accorse, dalle reazioni della sua pelle, che i suoi vicini utilizzavano telefoni portatili e connessione ad internet senza filo.

“All’inizio non riuscivo a dormire”, ha raccontato la donna. “Poi ho iniziato ad avere delle reazioni sulla pelle. Sentivo una sensazione di bruciore al viso, sulla fronte e sui gomiti”.

Bird consultò un dermatologo ma alla fine l’unica soluzione fu di trasferirsi in una nuova casa nella vicina Hale. Qui dovette spendere oltre 3.000 sterline (4.500 euro) per eliminare dalla sua nuova abitazione ogni tipo di campo elettromagnetico.

I muri sono stati dipinti con vernice al nerofumo e le finestre sono state isolate con una pellicola protettiva. Inoltre, lei e suo marito Tony, 45 anni, dormono in un letto protetto da una zanzariera in silver plate che respinge le onde elettromagnetiche. Nel Regno Unito ufficialmente non esiste una malattia che implica sensibilità alle onde elettromagnetiche. Secondo i medici non ci sono prove sufficienti che queste ultime provochino danni alla salute.

EMFs: sense and sensitivity

[Citiamo:

But countering this are the thousands of case studies of people who suddenly suffered fatigue or concentration problems without ever knowing they were in an environment of high EMF levels. In Sweden alone, which has some of the highest reported rates in Europe along with Germany and Denmark, around 250,000 people were identified as EHS sufferers in 2004, while it’s less prevalent in the UK, Austria and France.

Independent research studies are also starting to come down on the side that EHS is very real. One report—entitled ‘Electromagnetic hypersensitivity: fact or fiction?’—decided that it is, indeed, a fact. And more tellingly, the lead author, Professor Stephen Genuis at the University of Alberta in Canada, concluded that “many scientists now recognize that hypersensitivity to EMR (electromagnetic radiation) can be a debilitating medical condition that is affecting increasing numbers of people throughout the world”]

May 2016 (Vol. 27 Issue 2) – “www.wddty.com”, by Bryan Hubbard

Health agencies are in denial over the existence of EHS—electromagnetic hypersensitivity—and especially that EMFs from PCs, mobile phones, Wi-Fi and power lines could be to blame

It’s called ‘electromagnetic hypersensitivity’ (EHS)—a collection of symptoms that range from headaches, concentration problems and insomnia to skin irritation and fatigue. Yet despite the name, the World Health Organization (WHO) and most of the world’s major governments don’t accept that it’s caused by electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from electrical appliances, computers, mobile phones and masts, and power lines.

And there’s only a grudging acceptance that EHS is even a genuine health problem. If it does exist, it affects only around 1 per cent of a population, while the general view is that it’s a problem more in the mind of the sufferer. Sceptics point to studies where EHS sufferers responded more strongly to devices that weren’t emitting EMFs than those that were. Some psychologists have even classified it as an escape from the tensions and pace of the modern world.

So what’s the official line on the causes of EHS? According to the WHO, doctors who have an EHS patient should first order full psychiatric or psychological tests. If the patient isn’t mentally unstable, the EHS could be the result of indoor pollution, excessive noise, poor lighting or flickering fluorescent tubes.

But countering this are the thousands of case studies of people who suddenly suffered fatigue or concentration problems without ever knowing they were in an environment of high EMF levels. In Sweden alone, which has some of the highest reported rates in Europe along with Germany and Denmark, around 250,000 people were identified as EHS sufferers in 2004, while it’s less prevalent in the UK, Austria and France.

Independent research studies are also starting to come down on the side that EHS is very real. One report—entitled ‘Electromagnetic hypersensitivity: fact or fiction?’—decided that it is, indeed, a fact. And more tellingly, the lead author, Professor Stephen Genuis at the University of Alberta in Canada, concluded that “many scientists now recognize that hypersensitivity to EMR (electromagnetic radiation) can be a debilitating medical condition that is affecting increasing numbers of people throughout the world”.1

Follow the money

The cynic might suggest that the reluctance to recognize EHS as a genuine health concern—and EMFs as the cause—boils down to one simple issue: money. Aside from the vast amounts that would have to be paid out in compensation to EHS victims, governments have received enormous sums from the telecoms industry, which has also happened to fund the majority of research that has failed to identify EMFs as a health hazard. The UK government, for instance, garnered £2.3 billion from the auction of the new 4G mobile phone licences in 2013.

But despite the financial pressures, some countries are recognizing EHS as a genuine medical condition. The Swedish government has described it as a “functional impairment”, while Spain has classified it as a “permanent disability” and the Canadian Human Rights Commission includes EHS among a list of environmental sensitivities.

French authorities have gone further and declared EMFs as the cause not only of EHS, but also of various cancers, and small children are especially vulnerable. Last year, they banned the use of Wi-Fi in nursery schools, and ordered that networks be switched off when there are no lessons in schools catering to children aged up to 11. A French court also recognized EHS as a real condition and awarded the 39-year-old claimant, Marine Richard, a £650-a-month disability grant after she described her “allergy” to electronic devices, such as her mobile phone, Wi-Fi router and TV set. Her reactions included heart palpitations, nausea and headaches, and she now lives in a converted barn with no electricity.

Despite its reticence, the WHO has recognized EHS as a “non-specific, multisystem illness”, and has also classified EMFs as possible carcinogens, or cancer-causing agents—although it has stopped short of linking one as a cause of the other.

EHS has even achieved cult status. One of the characters in Better Call Saul, a TV series spin-off of Breaking Bad, is a sufferer who wears a tin-foil sheet when he’s at home.

Do the right thing

Estimates vary for the number of people affected by EHS. Researchers have reckoned that anything from 1 to 8 per cent of a population may be so sensitive that they can’t function properly, while many more could have symptoms, such as insomnia or occasional memory lapses, but never associate them with ‘electrosmog’, as it’s called.

With this build-up of evidence and recognition of EHS by some governments, one group of scientists now wants every major country to accept the dangers of EMFs and limit the exposure of people—and especially children. In 2015, 24 scientists issued a declaration to have EHS “officially recognized” and included in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). They also want government health agencies to adopt simple precautionary measures and warn the public about the potential dangers of EMFs.

In the UK, British doctor Erica Mallery-Blythe has created the organisation PHIRE (Physicians’ Health Initiative for Radiation and Environment), which she hopes will begin to inform the public and get doctors, schools, parents and patients better educated about these risks and working together. “It is impossible” she states, “for individuals to give informed consent, when they are not informed”.

Here in the UK, we use the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) safety guidelines that were devised in 1998 to protect against tissue heating (thermal) effects. But, argues Dr. Mallery-Blythe those standards are obsolete and based on science that has been undermined by thousands of studies that demonstrate serious non-thermal biological effects at intensities far below this level. Other countries, and most other members of the EU, have abandoned the ICNIRP guidelines for far lower safety levels of radiation. She hopes that the UK will take urgent action to protect their citizens as other nations are now doing

So what’s safe?

We’re surrounded by EMFs and always have been. The light from the sun and the earth’s magnetic field are two sources, but from the beginning of the previous century—with the introduction of the electric light bulb and electrical appliances in the home—our exposure started to increase. Today, we live in the electrosmog coming from TVs, power lines, PCs and laptops, Wi-Fi and routers, and mobile phones and masts.

Cases similar to EHS symptoms were reported as early as 1932 and they’ve been given a range of labels over the years, such as microwave sickness or syndrome, radio-wave syndrome, EMF intolerance syndrome and rapid ageing syndrome. In the 1960s, workers in the old USSR and Poland who were exposed to EMR reported a range of debilitating symptoms, and similar patterns were seen among military personnel in 1974.

The science supports the idea that these symptoms are not just ‘all in the head’. Studies have found that EMFs can
affect brain activity, while others have noted changes in the body’s cells, reactions that have been objectively measured by scientists.

Although we can all react differently to EMFs, scientists believe that EMF exposure reduces the body’s melatonin levels while raising nitric oxide (NO).2 These changes affect the body’s ability to fight cancer, and can lead to sleeping disorders, increased cholesterol levels and raised blood pressure.

Brain-wave patterns are also altered by EMF exposures. One study found that 45 minutes of exposure to pulsed microwaves affected choline levels in the brains of laboratory rats. Choline is a building block of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that affects memory, intelligence and mood.3 Mobile phones have similar effects. Researchers in Finland found that just 33 minutes of mobile phone use suppressed glucose metabolism in the brain, which suggests that the brain’s neurons become starved of sugar, so leading to concentration, learning and memory problems.4

These physiological changes are also reflected in population studies. One review discovered that eight out of 10 studies of communities living less than 500 metres from a mobile-phone base station reported an increase in neurobehavioural symptoms and in cancer. Yet, the exposure to EMF radiation in each case was well within the current safety levels.5

Symptoms like headaches, poor concentration and irritability also got worse the closer a person was to a base station.6 And one Austrian study found an association between levels of high-frequency EMFs (like those used in mobile phones) in bedrooms and symptoms like headaches and concentration difficulties.7

Dr Mallery-Blythe describes the rise of EMFs as “the largest change to the earth’s electromagnetic environment that has ever taken place in human history”. Unless we act, she echoes the fears of experts who predict that this could become “the greatest public health disaster in planetary history”.

Paying the piper

Health agencies have pretty much relied on the 13-country Interphone Study results as a gauge of health hazards with mobile-phone use. Its various studies have consistently found no risk, and one even suggested that the devices can protect against brain cancer.

The study was partly funded by the Mobile Manufacturers Forum (MMF) and the Global System for Mobile Communication Association (GSMA), two groups that stand to benefit from positive results.

But funding seems to have skewed the results, as a team of independent researchers from the Republic of Korea found when they took another look at the findings. On analyzing only the independent studies—and putting to one side the Interphone trials, which the researchers said were of very poor quality—they discovered that continual use of a mobile phone for 10 years or longer increased the chances of developing a brain tumour by up to 34 per cent.1

This funding effect was also identified by researchers from the University of Berne, Switzerland, who found that studies paid for by the telecoms industry were the least likely to report any significant effect of exposure compared with those paid for by charities or other independent agencies.2

Dr Mallory-Blythe will be giving a talk on EMFs and the possible dangers to our health at a public meeting at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, 41 Riding House Street, London W1W 7BE, on 7 June 2016. The talk will start at 6.30 pm. Tickets: £15; www.naturopathy-uk.com/events/events-special-uk/#emblon

2 Maggio 2016 – “www.cosmopolismedia.it”, di Marialaura Garripoli

ripetitore Essere affetti da “fatica cronica e da elettrosensibilità” a causa dell’esposizione a qualsiasi apparecchiatura elettronica che genera e scatena campi elettromagnetici: una condizione non riconosciuta, men che meno dall’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità. La storia di Savino e la sua lotta per vedere affermato il diritto alla salute e all’ambiente

di Marialaura Garripoli

Incontro Savino in un tardo pomeriggio. “Per prima cosa,” – mi dice – “spegni il cellulare”. Obbedisco, inevitabilmente, sapendo che per lui è un problema. Un piccolo passo indietro di otto anni: un ristorantino in gestione nella felliniana ed eterna Roma ed il resto del tempo speso per il volontariato. Ma una nuova offerta di lavoro sta per cambiargli la vita, del tutto inconsapevole della svolta che prenderà: entra a far parte di una società appaltatrice per la Apple, la più grande azienda di computer e sistemi operativi. I ritmi sono frenetici, tra software, portate ed impegno sociale. E la stanchezza comincia a farsi sentire; probabilmente, il contraccolpo di questa vita estremamente piena e dei tanti caffè presi per restare attivo. Ma insieme alla stanchezza aumentano i capogiri, gli sbandamenti, i mal di testa, le palpitazioni. Savino va a lavoro e lamenta seri fastidi; torna a casa e sta meglio, se non fosse che sente l’irrefrenabile esigenza di dormire il più possibile. La spossatezza, ormai cronica, non sembra passare; mentre sembrano aumentare anche i disturbi epidermici, rossori ed eritemi al viso. È evidente che qualcosa non va, specie quando sente vicino un cellulare. Aumentano i sintomi, sempre più pressanti: forti acufeni, accentuata astenia e disturbi del linguaggio, dolori muscolari ed articolari, stato confusionale fino alla perdita di coscienza. Ma nessun medico ha una risposta per lui. Da solo, Savino comincia a fare delle ricerche, cercando di capire una plausibile causa dalla quale possano derivare le sue reazioni. Dopo tanti, diversi e diversificati tentativi, nel 2013 incontra il prof. Giuseppe Genovesi, specialista in Endocrinologia, Psichiatria ed Immunologia nonché ricercatore presso il Dipartimento di Medicina Sperimentale del Policlinico Umberto I dell’Università di Roma “La Sapienza”. Il dottor Genovesi parla chiaro: il paziente è affetto da “fatica cronica e da elettrosensibilità” [(ES) o elettroipersensibilità (EHS), ndr], dovuta all’esposizione a qualsiasi apparecchiatura elettronica che genera e scatena campi elettromagnetici. Tradotto: gran parte di ciò che caratterizza e circonda la nostra vita da terzo millennio. E così, Savino dovrà evitare il contatto diretto, l’esposizione e persino la vicinanza a qualsiasi campo elettromagnetico; ed è ovvio che questa singolare condizione “limita significativamente la sua vita di relazione”, configurando un evidente danno morale (in aggiunta a quello biologico). Di colpo, la disoccupazione; il ritorno in Basilicata, sua terra d’origine, e l’adesione all’Associazione A.M.I.C.A. – Associazione per le Malattie da Intossicazione Cronica e/o Ambientale. “Gli attuali limiti di sicurezza ambientale in Italia e in Europa non tengono sufficientemente conto del Principio di Precauzione e sono fortemente condizionate da principi economici” – si legge sul sito dell’associazione; pertanto, “l’informazione è il solo strumento che i cittadini hanno per proteggersi, per fare scelte avvedute come consumatori e per chiedere ai medici e ai politici una maggiore attenzione verso le cause tossiche ambientali di molte delle malattie più diffuse oggi”.

Una condizione non riconosciuta, men che meno dall’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità (OMS), ma che ha portato il Consiglio d’Europa – il 27 Maggio 2011 (con risoluzione n. 1815) – a considerare ed usare il “principio di precauzione”, prestando “un’attenzione particolare alle persone elettrosensibili che soffrono di una sindrome di intolleranza ai campi elettromagnetici e di introdurre specifiche misure per proteggerli, inclusa la creazione di aree wave-free, non coperte dalle reti wireless”; mentre già nel Dicembre 2006, in seduta plenaria, l’Assemblea Generale delle Nazioni Unite adottava la Convenzione con la quale si tutelava chi è affetto da Sensibilità Chimica Multipla, da Elettrosensibilità e da altre forme di disabilità difficilmente diagnosticabili (le cosiddette “disabilità funzionali”). Ma nel suo piccolo, nella sua regione, Savino non molla: nell’Ottobre del 2013, la Regione Basilicata riconosce come rare l’Elettrosensibilità [codice regionale RQG020, ndr], la “Sindrome Gilles de la Tourette, la “Cisti di Tarlov” e la “Sindrome Sistemica da allergie al nichel”, tanto da riconoscerne il diritto all’esenzione dal costo delle relative prestazioni sanitarie. La prima ed unica regione in Italia. Oggi, dopo tutti questi anni, Savino ha imparato (suo malgrado) a convivere con la sua elettroipersensibilità: vive a stretto contatto con la natura, lontano il più possibile da qualsiasi fonte di onde elettromagnetiche; ma mai lontano del tutto. Ha inevitabilmente imparato a gestire la sua condizione. I trascorsi 29 e 30 di Aprile, in tutta risposta all’Internet Day, hanno visto la contromanifestazione simbolica che invita a spegnere il router in favore di salute e ambiente: il Comitato Nazionale “No Wi-Fi Days” ha chiesto alla politica estrema prudenza rispetto alle connessioni senza fili, facendo appello proprio a quella risoluzione del 2011 a firma del Consiglio d’Europa. Per più di qualcuno, i ripetitori non giovano.

Why Die for Wi-Fi? My Child Did – Will Yours?

[via Dave Ashton – Facebook page “UK Electrosensitives”]

Why die for Wi-Fi? My child did – will yours?
by Debra Fry, posted 3 May 2016

On the 11th of June 2015, my 15 year old daughter, Jenny Fry was found by me, hanged in woods near our home in Oxfordshire, UK .

She was utterly exhausted; instead of receiving sympathy and understanding, she was battling the school for giving her detentions and refusing to acknowledge her difficulty around wifi, which had a profound effect on her ability to concentrate, write, explain things, and function in school.

I went into the school on several occassions to try to educate them on the health dangers to all pupils and staff, as well as the effect it was having on Jenny, but I was told that for as many reports that there are showing harm, there are as many available online saying that wifi is safe (although I have not seen any saying this).

The head teacher did say he would double check; I left him a list of information – reports and websites – to check. He also said he could not turn off the wifi for one child; I said it was not just for Jenny, but it would be healthier for everyone.

I even had a heated exchange with a member of staff, saying that Jenny is allergic to wifi.

It’s the same as a peanut allergy – you would not leave peanuts all around the school, so why expose her to wifi? Knowing that it will cause her problems?

They refused to let me measure with my electrosmog meter to find safer, more comfortable areas for Jenny to work in. And they told me off for taking readings at a parents’ evening.

I also contacted the Governors of the school, the local Education Department, the Radiation Advisor used by them, the Chief Scientific Officer, the Chief Medical Officer, the National Radiological Protection board, the Health Protection Agency, Public Health England, and my MP and GPs.

Jenny was an intelligent child who had a great thirst for knowledge, and her education was very important to her. She wanted to put it to good use, and somehow help humanity, as a doctor, exploring the world.

At age 6, she wanted to know how the moon stays up in the sky, and everything about the universe.

She flew through school with no problems until the wifi was fitted in Chipping Norton senior school in November 2012, and for a few months at home.

Jenny was very popular and liked by her peers, and befriended children of all abilities and backgrounds.

She was highly organised and self motivated. She did not have to be asked to do her homework .

She was my wounderful, beautiful, thriving, happy, healthy, helpful, caring, sensitive daughter, until she was exposed to wifi, which emits pulsing microwave radiation, when her physical health began to crumble.

Her death was totally preventable, if I had been listened to earlier.

Her symptoms : headaches, fatigue, joint pains, sleep problems, skin irritation, rash, anaemia, menstrual cycle disruption, heart flutters, difficulty concentrating, temperature control, urine urgency, overwhelming sense of needing to leave some classrooms at school.

She had a really bad nose bleed at home while she was doing home work on her wifi laptop; she came down stairs saying “please help me, I cannot stop my nose bleeding and I have not knocked it.” As a nurse, even I had a job to stop it.

We were both so concerned that I looked up nosebleed / wifi online, and was totally shocked at what I found; the more I researched, the more evidence I found from doctors and scientists saying that wifi was not safe for children, just as mobile phones were not.

I was in the back garden on a sunny day, trying to find a school without wifi and continuing my research into the health effects, using a wifi laptop, when I realised – wow this technology is amazing; it’s coming through brick walls, just like xrays.

This was the moment I realised how dangerous this stuff could be. But at the time I thought that I was trying to save her from future cancer, future fertility problems, as well as the list of symptoms above.

We immediately switched off the wifi at home and fitted ethernet cables, which helped Jenny to sleep, and helped some of her symptoms to go or improve. However, at school, some would return, or be triggered and exacerbated by their Rukus Zoneflex 7982 wifi.

I was also unknowingly affected by the wifi, having a racing heart, sharp pains in my eyes, and tinnitus, which I had just put down to my age, only to be shocked when I realised they had all gone after we had switched the wifi off for Jenny.

I felt so energised, as it confirmed my diagnosis was right for Jenny – having previously tried new lined curtains, a new mattress, visits to GPs and dentists, but all to no avail.

I could not find a school without wifi. I offered to let her stay and work at home, but she was in the middle of her GCSEs, and wanted to be with her friends.

So I tried again to get the wifi switched off at her school, but although I was now being listened to by someone in high office, it was too late for Jenny.

I miss Jenny everyday, and will spend the rest of my life trying to get justice for her, and campaigning to raise awareness of the health hazards from wifi / microwave radiation exposure, which should never have been put anywhere near our children.

I hope to help her to achieve her dreams of helping humanity, by telling her tragic – but totally preventable – story.

So please join the fight to protect our remaining precious children from wifi – before its too late. Prevention is better than cure.

How? Reduce the tsunami of wifi invading their lives. Switch off wifi in schools, homes and hospitals, and provide wired ethernet access to the internet.

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.

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.

Best regards

Jean

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

Janis

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.cmaj.ca/content/187/9/639.full

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?

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.”

Article 3

1. In all actions concerning children, whether undertaken by public or private social welfare institutions, courts of law, administrative authorities or legislative bodies, the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration.

2. States Parties undertake to ensure the child such protection and care as is necessary for his or her well-being, taking into account the rights and duties of his or her parents, legal guardians, or other individuals legally responsible for him or her, and, to this end, shall take all appropriate legislative and administrative measures.

3. States Parties shall ensure that the institutions, services and facilities responsible for the care or protection of children shall conform with the standards established by competent authorities, particularly in the areas of safety, health, in the number and suitability of their staff, as well as competent supervision.

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

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.
