www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org A physician’s group is urging the California Public Utilities Commission to call an immediate halt to installation of “smart meters,” as the regulators prepare to discuss the wireless meters at a public hearing Wednesday. A recently-released letter from the American Academy of Environmental Medicine says FCC safety and health guidelines for radio frequency radiation are based on obsolete studies. The physicians say current medical literature raises credible questions about smart meter radiation causing genetic and cellular defects, blood/brain barrier damage, and increased risk of certain types of cancers. They conclude that continuing to install the meters would be “extremely irresponsible.” PG&E denies there are any such problems with the smart meters and put out the following: “Decades of research have found no links between the radio frequency technology used in SmartMeters and any illnesses. That research predates SmartMeters™ as scientists evaluated the health effects of cellular phones. Cellular phones are held close to the body, broadcast at a much higher strength and for a longer period of time, and are still widely used and accepted.” www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org

www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org Just about everyone of us out there owns a cell phone. Now a days we wouldn’t know what to do without one. They are very convenient, you want to make a call just simply reach into your purse or pocket, reach across and grab it off of the passenger seat of your car and start dialing. No more looking for a pay phone and the correct change you need to make a call. You can also send text messages to anyone around the world, as long as they have a cell phone or a computer. Cell phone users have become known as the thumb generation. But, with the invention of the cell phone, has come many dangers. The National Safety Council estimates 28 percent of all traffic accidents are due to distracted drivers using cell phones. This has lead to a few states to pass a law to band cell phone use while driving. If you drive, there is no doubt you see the distractions of other drivers when they are on their cell phones. Can’t keep a consistent speed, don’t look before pulling out or making a lane change among many others. There is no phone call that is so important that you should risk your own life along with the lives of others. When your driving and your phone rings, find a safe place to pull over and take the call. The best thing to do would be to turn it off until you have reached your destination. Now the latest health risk is you could possibly develop tinnitus-a chronic ringing in the ears. This appears to be increased with ongoing …

Cordless Phones Brain Tumors : www.emfnews.org Blue Tube Headset Reviews : www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org An earlier study by Mild, a cancer specialist, linked brain tumours to the use of analogue mobile phones. The new research repeated this and also looked at digital mobiles and DECT cordless phones. It showed that all three types were linked with increased tumour rates. The extra tumours only start to really show up after about 5 years use, but there is increasing dose-related-response with minutes of use per month and number of years of use. Since 1980, the number of acoustic neuromas (a rare tumour) diagnosed in Britain has risen from one in every 100000 of the population to one in 80000 a year. Some (but not all) other types of tumour also show an increase. Dr Richard Sullivan, head of clinical programmes at Cancer Research UK and quoted in the Sunday Times on 16th March 2003, said the study was worrying. ‘It suggests a strong link between mobile phones and brain tumours. We now need a full-scale study.’ In October 2004, a study from the Institute of Environmental Medicine (IMM) at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden, found that 10 or more years of mobile phone use increase the risk of acoustic neuroma (cancer) and that the risk increase was confined to the side of the head where a phone is usually held.

The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (or AAEM) has just released a position paper on genetically modified foods, stating that they pose a serious health risk. The academy is calling for a moratorium on all GM foods. Citing several animal studies, the AAEM concludes “there is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects. There is causation in the areas of strength of association, consistency, specificity, biological gradient, and biological plausibility. GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of toxicology, allergy and immune function, reproductive health, and metabolic, physiologic and genetic health.”

Usually, I talk about aspects of evolution, and defend it from creatards who are either misinformed, or lie about it outright. However, “Evo” is only one part of my screenname. This is a sort of an attempt to get closer to the “Gen” part of it. Genomics has the power to give us treatments, cures, and an understanding of the causes for various ailments that have plagued us as a species for centuries up until this point. Genomics, especially medical transgenics, is how I want to leave my mark on the world, I want it to be my way of leaving the world a better place than the way I found it. Transgenics can also be applied to agriculture, as a means of bettering the lives of the consumer, but the producer as well. It’s not only a means of bettering life in the first world nations, but especially the third world nations as well. It can cut back on all of the costs, the resources, the risks, and dangerous pollutants that often come from the farming process, and …

Dr. Harriet L. Hardy was pioneer in occupational medicine, colleague and friend of Dr. Alice Hamilton and the first woman to become a full professor at Harvard Medical School. She was committed to social reform and hoped science would solve workplace hazards and improve the well-being of workers. Her investigation of respiratory illness among factory workers in Lynn and Salem, Mass., in the mid-1940′s led to the discovery that they had come down with berylliosis, an often fatal disease caused by exposure to the light metal beryllium. She set up a registry of beryllium illness at the Massachusetts General Hospital that became a model for tracking other occupational hazards and establishing guidelines for their control. In 1947, Dr. Hardy created an occupational medicine clinic at the hospital and remained its director until she retired in 1971. Dr. Hardy also led the occupational medical service at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge for more than 20 years and advised the institute on safety considerations relating to its first nuclear reactor. Over her career, she worked with the Atomic Energy Commission, the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union, United Mine Workers, and Coal Workers’ Safety Board. This interview with Harriet Hardy, was done on her being awarded the 1988 Alice Hamilton Award by the Occupational Health and Safety Section of the American Public Health Association (APHA). She died in 1993, five years after this interview, at the age of …

www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org Since brain tumours often develop very slowly it may be many years before the full impact of our reliance on mobiles becomes clear. But they are already implicated in another area of concern to health professionals, the onset of dementia in those under 65. Experts are at a loss to explain the increase in this condition which has seen a surge in demand for pre-senile dementia units across the country. But can we really be surprised when a study at the Institute of Environmental Medicine in Sweden confirmed this month that exposure to EMFs significantly accelerates brain degeneration? The risks posed by EMFs are recognised not only by scientists, but hard-headed commercial organisations. In 1997, the insurance company Swiss-Re identified EMFs as likely to cause the biggest increase in claims in years to come. Swiss-Re and other insurers have therefore refused to indemnify the mobile phone operators against health claims from their customers. Even so, we should not hold out much hope of our politicians protecting us from EMFs. The mobile phone industry in the UK contributes around £20 billion in tax every year, so it’s hardly likely the Government will take action to reduce the number of calls. Indeed, it seems to be going in almost the opposite direction, encouraging the installation of Wi-Fi networks in our schools with tactics which sometimes verge on coercion. I’ve been told about a school which was threatened that it would …

www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org Out of great concern for the health of our fellow human beings do we – as established physicians of all fields, especially that of environmental medicine – turn to the medical establishment and those in public health and political domains, as well as to the public. We have observed, in recent years, a dramatic rise in severe and chronic diseases among our patients, especially: • Learning, concentration, and behavioural disorders (eg attention deficit disorder, ADD) • Extreme fluctuations in blood pressure, ever harder to influence with medications • Heart rhythm disorders • Heart attacks and strokes among an increasingly younger population • Brain-degenerative diseases (eg Alzheimer–s) and epilepsy • Cancerous afflictions: leukemia, brain tumors Moreover, we have observed an ever-increasing occurrence of various disorders, often misdiagnosed in patients as psychosomatic: • Headaches, migraines • Chronic exhaustion • Inner agitation • Sleeplessness, daytime sleepiness • Tinnitus • Susceptibility to infection • Nervous and connective tissue pains, for which the usual causes do not explain even the most conspicuous symptoms Since the living environment and lifestyles of our patients are familiar to us, we can see especially after carefully-directed inquiry a clear temporal and spatial correlation between the appearance of disease and exposure to pulsed high -frequency microwave radiation (HFMR), such as: • Installation of a mobile telephone …
