Full Signal

2010-02-03T03:44:00.000-08:00

I have added an interview with Talal Jabari director of the new film on cellphone health dangers FULL SIGNAL in the links on the right of this page.

He sounds pretty laid back and Californian and only got into this issue because he had a new baby to worry about and started poking into health risks, first inside his home, then, on looking out and noticing his neighbours antennae wondered about that.

Yup, that is all it takes folks, an inquiring intelligent mind. You poke around a little and the evidence is piled up so high it falls out of the cupboard all over you, once you open your mind to seeing it.

It happened to me since seven years ago now, and it is good it happened to Talal, I hope I have his name right. Though a pretty low-key guy I think he must have been pretty shocked as he put his own money up to make this film, thought it needed to be done, warn people that is.

What really bugs me is these health risks were known to the industry, just google Dr George Carlo who directed their 28 million dollars of research, but they went ahead anyway.
Whatta world eh?

Who holds the keys to the madhouse?

2009-12-10T09:12:00.000-08:00

Ken Kesey the original Merry Prankster worked in a mental institution in California. Its where he got to learn about LSD and liberated a whole lot until Owsley came along as a productive chemist. That is psychedelic history. Ken went on many trippy benders as a proselyetizer of how tiny amounts of powerful stuff affected insights and how you see and understand. Others of us did too and were considered crazy.
He wrote the book 'One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest' in which the unforgettable Jack Nicholson did his manic stuff.
What's not to forget always is "Who holds the keys to the Asylum?" or "Who guards the guards?"

With microwaves they are held by the commercial phone companies panning out GOLD for themselves for all they are worth. They also control those who set the international safety regulations/protocols, 'The International Committee for Non-Ionising Radiation Protection' set up supposedly to protect us, Ha!
The rest of us, even those like me who understand, are like inmates, seen as mad as hatters by some trying to paint us that way. Actually ICNIRP protects the companies and their profits who are using the technology, wow what a scam eh?

HAHA HoHo! as Jack Nicholson would cackle with his bug-eyed stare. But we ain't the crazy ones, no sirree, and neither was the head of the esteemed Academy of Environmental Medicine:

William Rea, MD
Past President, American Academy of Environmental Medicine, Founder & Director of the Environmental Health Center, Dallas says:

“Sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation is the emerging health problem of the 21st century. It is imperative health practitioners, governments, schools and parents learn more about it. The human health stakes are significant”.

Or as I managed to get on the front of the UK Times newspaper just once a few years ago:
"Electropollution is the most important environmental hazard of the 21st century, more than global warming".

I got it from Dr Robert O Becker.

"Hey mama we're all crazy now!"

New Fillum, health danger

2009-12-10T04:21:00.000-08:00

Yup my darlings,
there is a brand new fillum some old contacts have refreshed me with, providing details of.

What delicate language construction I do employ when feeling fizzy!

Go to http://www.fullsignalmovie.com/ and find out details of what is mangling up our only old planet in brand new ways.
Others do notice, and try to get the threat more widely known, I and the few other loons are not alone.

But against the tide of GOLD all find it is difficult.

I suspect these movie boyos and girlos will be in trouble soon over the name alone, judging by what my search engine came up with under 'Full Signal'.

But it looks really good, so go to it all those curious how them thar invisible electromagnetic rays iz gonna gitcha!

IZ ALREADY GITTING YA IN FACT!! ho ho,

ESGuru feelin' loony today.

New scientific report, mobiles and cancer

"Long-term use of mobile phones 'may be linked to cancer'

Long-term use of mobile phones may be linked to some cancers, a landmark international study will conclude later this year.

By Martin Beckford and Robert Winnett
Published: Daily Telegraph 8:00AM BST 24 Oct 2009

Heavy users may face a higher risk of developing brain tumours later in life

A £20million, decade-long investigation overseen by the World Health Organisation (WHO) will publish evidence that heavy users face a higher risk of developing brain tumours later in life, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.
The conclusion, while not definitive, will undermine assurances from the government that the devices are safe and is expected to put ministers under pressure to issue stronger guidance."

Substitute ES or Electro-Hypersesnsitivity for ME

Dr Crippen: the ME debate

Despite recent research, doctors continue to be sceptical about ME
• The Guardian, Tuesday 20 October 2009

The militant wing of the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) brigade broke out the champagne when a recent article in Science reported that a retrovirus had been found in 67% of ME patients compared to under 4% of the general population. Sadly, the study only involved just over 100 patients and is thus inconclusive.
ME is surrounded by a sad potpourri of cod-science, misunderstanding, prejudice, anger, denial and indifference. Both doctors and patients are to blame. Doctors are victims of their rigid training. If the history, examination and tests do not produce a diagnosis, the doctor's wiring starts to overheat and there can be only one conclusion. The patient must be mad. "Mad" is a diagnosis. The doctor sighs with relief. The patient cannot win.
Some people with ME are even more blinkered than the medical professionals. Patients with chronic illnesses such as cancer or heart disease sometimes get depressed and are helped by psychiatric treatment. You cannot suggest this to a militant ME sufferer.
"Myalgic encephalomyelitis" literally means "painful muscles" and "inflammation of the lining of brain tissue". Two scientific concepts irrationally conjoined to provide fertile ground for quacks and malingerers.
Doctors continue to be sceptical, their scepticism buttressed by the many who march under the ME banner but who have nothing wrong with them other than an inability to cope with life.
Some ME patients are mentally ill, I have no doubt. Some ME patients are not mentally ill. Of that I have no doubt either. When you have filtered out the malingerers and the mentally ill – no easy task – you are left with a group of people who are suffering from a chronic illness. Many of them are not receiving the help they so desperately need.

Dr Crippen is the pseudonym for a long-serving GP.

Negative motivation?

2009-10-09T10:28:00.000-07:00

What happens if you enter a negative motivation zone?
Do you go belly-up, flip over and disappear up your own fundament?
I only ask as now the webhost company will cut off our ES-Support website without a cash infusion, its a little under a tenner a month, a form of vanity publishing if no-one but myself pays for it.

So away it goes I decide and I more completely retire.

And then...

A phone call from a Suzy needing explanation, reassurance, help and so on as usual. No-one else can she find and a friend concerned for her health found me on the good old 'interweb'.
So we continue..

Another call from a very sophisticated e-sensitive, a media savvy lady working in the field. She says I should charge fifty quid an hour for personal counselling with my training and experience. Chance would be a fine thing as they say. That would cover the website for a while. And I give it away.., well so many are poor and needy..., heart ruling head?

So I stir myself to have a looksee at the old beast, www. electrosensitivity-support and hey vanity it is! It comes over pretty well, especially Cindy Sage discussing the scientific 'Bioinitiative Report' on a video link. Most upcheering.

So we stagger on into the future, love to all, is anyone there? Hello..

Oh and by the way an excellent new book the lady informs me is titled 'Radiation Rescue' by Dr Kerry Crofton, an expert Canadian, must get it, oh dear £14.99.

Jeremy Vine radio 2 on Wi-Fi

2009-07-26T03:15:00.000-07:00

Last week an eminently sensible and inquiring Jeremy Vine had a DJ from Falmouth named Steve Miller phoning in describing quite factually how wi-fi radiation made him ill.
It circumscribed his life preventing city visits, some pubs and all airports etc.
He suffered all the constant gallimaufry of symptoms and gross inconvenience ES people are accustomed to. As over 500 constantly tell me.

Two more older ladies just this last week found their way to phone me/us for helping reassurance. Unfortunately there is not much more I, our group at ES-support, or anyone else powerless can do against the mighty PR and pseudo-science machine ranged against us.

But you are not crazy or daft, the Electro-sensitive reaction is rare but real and can be devestating, especially for those who made their living in close proximity to emitting sources as in electronic studios like Steve Miller of the Jeremy Vine show.

Well done radio 2 and Jeremy, public service radio at its finest, minority voices getting a hearing.

Bees, birds butterflies and all of nature

2009-05-01T03:46:00.000-07:00

Yes, it is hard to credit on a beautiful April day with our garden burgeoning forth with the new season's life and renewal. BUT...

our beehives are empty, our buddlea's, despite being known as the 'butterfly bush' have no butterflies and our breeding sparrow population is way down. Thrushes have vanished, trees like horse chestnuts are sickening, and all this is beyond the normal, natural, ebb and flow of the wild. WHY?

Those of us who point the finger at our reckless interfering new technology, the massive expansion of unnatural pulsing microwave frequencies (which never formerly existed of course) as interfering with bees navigation - and other insects and animal behaviour - and with the crossover of pathogens by the fine hairs of tree roots, in the same way as our own cell membranes are compromised, de-stabilised in their proper functions, by these invisible EM oscillations, are treated contemptuously at worst or ignored.

When we managed to obtain a meeting with the responsible Government organisation, 'English Nature', at their Peterborough HQ they were at times dangerously close to being openly contemptuous of 'our' science. I watched in amazement as two leading officers would not even pick up from off the table a brief summary of a research report on electromagnetic field effects on nesting storks from Spain.

With all that is on their plates already in terms of environmental pollution affecting nature, we were it seems considered to be unnecessary overload. So this is the way ruination takes place, when responsible scientists turn a blind eye to new unimaginable effects. Now around three years later, this dangerous technology is even more firmly embedded in our societies and economies.

Of course to the seminal scientist twice nominated for a Nobel prize who sadly died last year, Dr Robert O Becker, it was all too easily imaginable. As he says in 'Cross Currents, the Perils of Electropollution,- the Promise of Electromedicine' under 'Our Abnormal Electromagnetic Environment':
"The scientific evidence that will be reviewed in this chapter leads to only one conclusion:the exposure of living organisms to abnormal electromagnetic fields results in significant abnormalities in physiology and function"..

Our own researcher John Rogers, for forty years a government researcher and microwave technician, has worked out new mathematical proofs of the linking mechanisms, and all it brings him is bugging attention and low level threats from other government agencies trying to silence him.

This issue of EMF/microwave effects has too many military and defence applications and implications, never mind economic importance, for the truth to be properly researched and publicised.

As our Home Secretary recently said, we are already engaged in cyberwar, and as always truth is the first casualty. And the first 500 personal sufferers from electromagnetic hypersensitivity, of whom I still speak to many, will continue to be largely unrecognised through having the first politically incorrect illness.

Ho hum...ESGuru

Spring is with us

2009-04-17T01:34:00.000-07:00

Spring is with us and draws me increasingly into healthy and weight reducing work in the garden, and as now semi-retired... and unpaid even for expenses ...for longer periods.

Fessingup? Or recording the obvious, either way I spend less time and caring on the ES issue.

Health effects from emfs/radiation seems to have entered the scientific doldrums, or is that just me? The present scientific stalemate suits the industry well of course, they plough ahead blithely disregarding the damage they tail in their wake as did the devotees of adding lead to petrol. Regulators lazily return to quiet lives, drawing salaries for blind eyes just like the SFA with the bankers.

The potency of the truth means it still squirms away subterraneously surfacing here and there as it will. Two French masts are pulled down immediately by order of the courts, the Daily Telegraph reports how teacher unions are learning, and this month are refusing to co-operate with the "DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT" (Dr George Carlo, House of Commons, Feb 22 2006) of installing WiFi networks in schools.

Elsewhere tree specialists are getting twitchy about Horse chestnuts sickening with increased pathogen take-up alongside the beekeepers and actual twitchers about effects in the 'natural world' ie. all of nature, by these unnatural energies.

Nothing is or can be proven, there are now no unaffected 'controls' available. We live in the sea of our own electromagnetic pollution.

I still respond to concerned and sick inquirers, who are still usually mystified and disconcerted (to put it mildly) at suffering from an officially non-existent condition here at ES-support. So reach me on 01353 775329, or 01353 778151 as before, but you may well find I am outside in me garden having fun.
On occasion even in the sun, that great electromagnetic source bathing us all in this indispensible fundamental universal em energy... oh just stop that...get outside

News - Obama asks for Eileen's dossier

By Neil Elkes

PHONE MASTS: Midland woman sends her evidence to US health panel

US PRESIDENT Barack Obama has turned to a Midland antimobile phone mast campaigner to help the fight against cancer.

Eileen O'Connor, as a founder member of the Radiation Research Trust, has led the battle against the relentless growth of mobile phone masts and technology for the past seven years.

And now the US President's cancer panel, set up by Obama to research the possible links with both nuclear and electro-magnetic radiation, has asked Eileen for her views on the issue.

The trust has supported widespread research into the possible dangers of mobile and wireless radiation and campaigns for the technology to be made safer.

Eileen said:
"Obama's panel has launched an information gathering exercise and I was invited to provide evidence. While I am not building up my hopes, I am delighted the issue is being taken seriously by the President.

"President Obama recently said science is about ensuring that facts and evidence are never twisted or obscured by politics or ideology.

"It's about listening to what our scientists have to say, even when it's inconvenient and I welcome this approach."

The evidence gathered by the panel will be considered in drawing up advice to the new President on measures needed to be taken to improve the health of Americans.

Any steps taken are likely to be considered around the world.

Eileen first suspected a link between mobile phone masts and cancer when the arrival of a mast in her home village of Wishaw, near Sutton Coldfield coincided with a cluster of cancer cases, including her own.

The campaign hit the headlines in 2003 when the mast was pulled down in the middle of the night and residents blockaded the site to stop it being replaced.

The Radiation Research Trust funds and draws together scientific research from around the world and lobbies government to adopt a more cautious approach to mobile technology.

A key theory is that it is the electromagnetic radiation frequency, and not intensity or power of the signal, which can cause the damage.

It is also thought that some people are more sensitive to the effects than others.

End.

It is superfluous to say what positive news this is, but it does not mean all will quickly change as Eileen indicates. Huge commercial company resistance and 'science', plus the PR and lobbying they finance will not melt away overnight.

We at ESS (ElectroSensitivity-Support) have known and worked with Eileen and members of the RRT for years, it is good to see their commitment, determination and skills paying off. There are so few 'lights' in the present darkness.

Idle, hibernating or under-motivated?

2009-02-05T03:51:00.000-08:00

Not that many care.

Xmas, health, snow or despair,
any excuse, I've been there.

Fact is a few poor new bods have discovered what ails them, and called for free objective info and personal support in understanding their new sensitivity. And the lack of recognition, never mind help, out there.

So do so yourself if you find your body objects to electromagnetic radiation (wifi is most common now) on 01353 7753239, mornings please.

But preparing to cross some invisible finishing line into some notion of decrepitude and retirement has been occupying the ESGuru.

I dare say I may, return to the fray, one day.

At the mo its family and self, the rest awaits upon the shelf.

Cold innit?

Scientists Add Kidney Damage To The List of Mobile Phone Ills

2008-12-15T03:28:00.000-08:00

From mainly The Daily Mail. By Sarah Harris
12/13/99

Kidney damage from mobiles

Mobile phones were at the centre of a new health scare last night after claims they can seriously damage the heart and kidneys.

Earlier reports have already linked their use to brain tumours, headaches and premature ageing. Now scientists say exposure to the phones' low-level radiation causes red blood cells to leak haemoglobin. The build-up of haemoglobin, which carries oxygen around the body, can lead to heart disease and kidney stones.

The findings will heighten alarm over the safety of mobile phones which are used by more than 13 million people in Britain. In the latest research, scientists exposed samples of blood to varying degrees of microwave radiation for periods between ten to 60 hours.

Even at lower levels than those emitted by mobile phones, the cells leaked haemoglobin. Professor Edward Tuddenham, a haemotologist at the Imperial College Medical School based in Hammersmith Hospital, West London, said the findings were worrying and he wanted to see the study followed up. 'The accumulation of haemoglobin in the body could result in heart disease or kidney stones,' he warned.

The Department of Health said yesterday that the new study - carried out at the European Research Institute for Electronic Components in Bucharest - would be examined by a Government-appointed committee due to report on phone safety next year.

However, the Cambridge based consumer group Powerwatch head of research Alasdair Philips said with evidence of the risks growing the government needed to do more.

"We are still very much investigating the biological consequences of mobile phones. But there certainly seems to be enough laboratory studies now saying there are effects, to be very concerned,".

Last month, scientists at Sweden's Lund University found that two minutes of exposure to emissions from mobile phones can disable a safety barrier in the blood causing proteins and toxins to leak into the brain.

This can increase the chances of developing diseases such as Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's. The Federation of the Electronics Industry yesterday repeated its claim that there was no conclusive proof that the phones were a health hazard. A spokesman said mobiles operated within strict guidelines on radiation emissions. "The consensus of scientific opinion is that there is no consistent evidence that mobile phones operating within these guidelines have any adverse health effects," he said.

I say notice the qualifications gradually creepuing in their utterances as we keep the pressure on, it is now 'consensus' and 'consistent' evidence needed. Well leaving aside the unhappy fact there is this type of evidence! No longer dare the 'deniers' claim "there is no evidence" as they used to a couple of years ago. We claim there is consistent evidence of damage at the cellular level with membranes and systemic level too: cardiac, neurological, hormonal (of the immune system), respiratory and gastric. If mobiles were food or medicines they would never have been allowed untested.

Past President, American Academy of Environmental Medicine Founder & Director of the Environmental Health Center, Dallas says:

“Sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation is the emerging health problem of the 21st century. It is imperative health practitioners, governments, schools and parents learn more about it. The human health stakes are significant”.

Martin Blank, PhD
Associate Professor, Department of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics, Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons; Researcher in Bioelectromagnetics; Author of the BioInitiative Report’s section on Stress Proteins. makes clear:

“Cells in the body react to EMFs as potentially harmful, just like to other environmental toxins, including heavy metals and toxic chemicals. The DNA in living cells recognizes electromagnetic fields at very low levels of exposure; and produces a biochemical stress response. The scientific evidence tells us that our safety standards are inadequate, and that we must protect ourselves from exposure to EMF due to power lines, cell phones and the like, or risk the known consequences. The science is very strong and we should sit up and pay attention.”

From Paul Doyon we get:

"The greatest challenge to the development of knowledge is the comfort of dogmatism - the security provided by unquestioned confidence in a statement of truth, or in a method of achieving truth - or even the shadow dogmatism of utter skepticism (for to be utterly skeptical is to dogmatically affirm that nothing can be known)..."

‘Our health is endangered by insidious pollution’ says Jean Huss
"More and more scientific studies are proving links between certain pollutants and certain illnesses, such as allergies, respiratory problems, fertility problems or central nervous system disorders", said Jean Huss (Luxembourg, SOC), rapporteur of the Committee on the Environment, at the opening of a conference on the effects of a polluted environment on health, including pollution in our own homes.
There is an omnipresent cocktail of chemical, physical or biological agents which are all around us – electromagnetic fields, construction materials or toxic moulds – and now engendering new syndromes, Mr Huss said. He called for urgent action to make people realise the scale of the phenomenon.
His forthcoming report on the subject will highlight progress achieved in environmental protection and exemplary action by certain NGOs to alert public opinion and political decision-makers. He also aims to develop a few key points for a global strategy to prevent environment-related health risks. A further concern of the rapporteur is that, in terms of treatment, environment-related illnesses are often marginalised by healthcare systems, which regard them as psychiatric disorders. "Environmental medicine must be recognised as a discipline in its own right," he said.
The draft report is due to be debated by the Assembly during its April 2009 plenary session.

This is a new transatlantic group of concerned scientists, citizens with awareness and public spiritedness, like Dr Magda Havas who I had the pleasure of being helped by at the World Health Organisation Conference on Electro-Hypersensitivity in Prague in 2004. Among their resources are contacts with some of the most distinguished and knowledgeable scientists on this issue in the world. They are not only in the USA, but places like Sweden with very advanced research on health difficulties resulting from EMF and all low-level radiofrequency exposures.
One such very senior scientist explains this invisible energy and expresses his alarm about our exposure as follows, (borrowed from their website, my emphases) : http://www.electromagnetichealth.org/

David Carpenter, MD
Professor, Environmental Health Sciences, and Director, Institute for Health and the Environment, School of Public Health, University of Albany, New York, SUNY Co-Editor, The BioInitiative Report (http://www.bioinitiative.org/)

"Electromagnetic fields are packets of energy that does not have any mass, and visible light is what we know best. X-rays are also electromagnetic fields, but they are more energetic than visible light. Our concern is for those electromagnetic fields that are less energetic than visible light, including those that are associated with electricity and those used for communications and in microwave ovens. The fields associated with electricity are commonly called “extremely low frequency” fields (ELF), while those used in communication and microwave ovens are called “radiofrequency” (RF) fields. Studies of people have shown that both ELF and RF exposures result in an increased risk of cancer, and that this occurs at intensities that are too low to cause tissue heating. Unfortunately, all of our exposure standards are based on the false assumption that there are no hazardous effects at intensities that do not cause tissue heating. Based on the existing science, many public health experts believe it is possible we will face an epidemic of cancers in the future resulting from uncontrolled use of cell phones and increased population exposure to WiFi and other wireless devices. Thus it is important that all of us, and especially children, restrict our use of cell phones, limit exposure to background levels of Wi-Fi, and that government and industry discover ways in which to allow use of wireless devices without such elevated risk of serious disease. We need to educate decision-makers that ‘business as usual’ is unacceptable. The importance of this public health issue can not be underestimated.”

Remarkable - High Court victory parallels

2008-11-19T01:42:00.000-08:00

Remarkable – Georgina Downs victory

The first remarkable aspect of this November 14th high court environmental victory by this determined lady and against the odds, is how closely the arguments of campaigners against the dangers to the public from widespread indiscriminate chemical pollution mirror those of low level pervasive electromagnetic radiation, EMR, exposure.

As is now usual the industry has its paid allies placed among those 'great and good' in positions of decisive infuence in the relevant government ministries and departments. DEFRA in this case, so the playing field on which rules and safety standards are set is tilted. The judge saw this for once, if we had the money for barristers maybe EMR would be exposed as dangerous in the same accumulative environmental way.

For those who missed this remarkable legal event it was reported in ‘The Guardian’ 15.11.08 and online as follows, with full report below by David Adam, Environment correspondent: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/nov/15/activists-pollution-pesticides-toxins-defra

“Campaigner wins seven-year battle to force rethink on use of pesticides
• Defra must reassess health risks and policy, says judge• Victim suffered 24 years of illness from crop spraying.

An environmental campaigner yesterday won a landmark victory against the government in a long-running legal battle over the use of pesticides. The high court ruled that Georgina Downs, who runs the UK Pesticides Campaign, had produced "solid evidence" that people exposed to chemicals used to spray crops had suffered harm.
The court said the government had failed to comply with a European directive designed to protect rural communities from exposure to the toxins. It said the environment department, Defra, must reassess its policy and investigate the risks to people who are exposed. Defra had argued that its approach to the regulation and control of pesticides was "reasonable, logical and lawful".

Downs, who lives on the edge of farmland near Chichester, West Sussex, launched her campaign in 2001. The judge described how she was first exposed to pesticide spraying at the age of 11 "and began to suffer from ill health, in particular flu-like symptoms, a sore throat, blistering and other problems".”

Also remarkable is these are almost identical to the symptoms complained about by those claiming an extra-sensitivity to the constant barrage from the accumulation of microwave and low-level EM radiation now broadcast as an ambient mixture in the environment. 80% of them are also chemically sensitive. The body complains about, and resists, all toxic environments in the same way, using the same bodily processes. This electro-pollution causing EHS, electrical hypersensitivity, is from domestic wiring, office equipment, mobile phones, micrwaves and wherever electricity is running and so creating electromagnetic fields. Also it frequently acts in concert with chemical pollution as 80% of sufferers report.
Some doctors, and the World Health Organisation, WHO, have discussed it as ‘Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance’, IEI, which simply means some individuals have this reaction, but 'why' is not yet understood. Well, at its simplest, because some people are more sensitive than others.

We say on the basis of my discussions with over 500 of those reporting EHS is that they have been over-exposed over time – not by simple individual exposures – but the accumulation of toxic damage to cells caused by constant ambient levels now widespread. The EMR compromises particularly the immune system by reducing essential melatonin hormone production. This is from the mutiplicity of devices and technologies now used added on top of a higher level of individual sensitivity in the first place, a simple biological difference we understand, like hay fever, or low tolerance to specific food items.

There is a great deal of new and breaking science, laboratory and clinical evidence examining this. This health damage is not uncovered by the crude simplicities of brief narrow exposures as undertaken by the research at Essex and Kings College under the aegis of the MTHR Health Protection Agency, part paid for by the mobile phone companies exploiting these risky technologies with representatives choosing researchers like Dr Simon Wessely a renowned professional sceptic on such issues, like ME, CFS and Gulf war syndrome.

Remarkable parallels:
Downs said “The Judge has agreed with my long-standing charge that this ‘bystander’ model does not and cannot address residents who are repeatedly exposed.” The model does not account for rural residents exposed to mixtures of pesticides and other chemicals "throughout every year and, in many cases like my own, for decades". Simply substitute Electromagnetic radiation mixtures, EMRM in high level local ‘electrospheres’ for ‘pesticides and chemicals’ in proximity.

The same applies to Georgina also saying: : "The fact that there has never been any assessment of the risk to health for the long-term exposure for those who live, work or go to school near pesticide-sprayed fields is an absolute scandal, considering that crop-spraying has been a predominant feature of agriculture for over 50 years."
For around a 100 years since the adoption and widespread use of electricity, and radiofrequency transmissions, various new ‘plagues’ like cancer and leukaemia, Parkinson’s and Alzheimers, have grown along with the increased background EMR levels. But no-one is responsible for, or studies, the totality of emissions 24/7, 365. Dr Samuel Milham *(see below) has looked at electrification causing childhood leukaemia in the USA.

The adherence to ‘standards’ on this issue means ONLY to thermal levels, heating of flesh, totally extreme and irrelevant to the signal itself in its coded format causing harm by biological interference. 'Internationally approved tests’ means only those approved by the almost totally industry dominated body called ICNIRP, the 'International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection', nobody else has an interest. This is poachers acting as gamekeepers.

Pylons 'double risk of dying from dementia'

LIVING close to pylons and high-voltage cables doubles the risk of dying from Alzheimer's disease and senile dementia, a study claims.
Researchers say they have found a direct link between the electromagnetic fields created by power lines and all types of dementia.
The study by doctors at Bern University's Institute of Social and Preventative Medicine in Switzerland is the latest evidence pointing to the dangers posed by power lines.
An estimated 150,000 Britons live within the 165ft danger zone of electricity pylons, according to Professor Denis Henshaw, an expert on human radiation.
And last night the University of Bristol scientist said: "It is now time that electricity pylons are pulled down and power cables are buried in highly populated areas of the country." However, National Grid, which manages the network, said putting highvoltage cables underground posed different risks and was prohibitively expensive.
It said: "Underground cabling for high-voltage lines can cost between six and 17 times as much as using overhead lines.
"Underground cables can also pose more of a risk because of the danger of them being hit by excavation, and they are more difficult to maintain."
The UK has at least 14,000 miles of high-voltage cable carrying electricity from power stations to homes and businesses.
The Swiss team, led by Professor Matthias Egger, found the risk of developing Alzheimer's increases the longer people live next to electricity pylons.
He said yesterday: "Anyone who lives within the immediate vicinity of high-voltage power lines for more than 10 years has a significantly higher risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer's."
The paper has been published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
Professor Henshaw claims that radiation caused by power lines and other high-power electrical sources stops the body creating the natural hormone melatonin in the pineal gland, which is lacking in Alzheimer's sufferers.
He said: "This paper is like the final piece of a jigsaw. The link between childhood leukaemia and power lines is already accepted by everybody. And there is strong evidence of a link to other diseases as well."
Professor Egger warns that sleeping next to a radio-operated alarm clock or living beside an electrified railway line present a similar dementia risk, due to proximity of the radiation source and the strength of the electric charge. He said: "Anything that is plugged in and that is on all the time and that is near to your body is a source of this type of radiation."
National Grid said last night: "We recognise that there is some scientific evidence suggesting certain specific health effects may be linked to electric and magnetic fields. This can cause public concern.
"However, the balance of evidence remains against electric and magnetic fields causing ill health."
Last night the Department of Health said it was reviewing its position in the light of the study.
End
ES-support says don't hold your breath, we have sent them details of sickness with this kind of cause for years now and know of hundreds of others who have been ignored too. This 'hot potato' they will not pick up.
The DoH says on its website:
“In this country the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) advises on risks from radiations including electromagnetic fields.”

But they know full well the NRPB (which is actually now called the Health Protection Agency or HPA and has been for years) shrugs and says no risks are proven.
Well they never will be because nobody is properly looking, and others mercilessly, and I use the word advisedly, deny health effects, usually for commercial and PR reasons.
Professor Denis Henshaw I used to work with at ElectroSensitivity-UK. He is an advisor to the HPA, and angry they ignore his scientific linking of melatonin deficiency with health effects.

for Michael Bevington Head of Classics at Stowe school debating with professor Fox of Essex University on reality of electro-sensitivity on Radio 4 Today programme on October 6th.

Michael is one of the hundreds of electro-sensitives who turned to us at ES-UK . I helped him in his understanding of what was happening to him. He was the fastest learner I ever dealt with and was supplying us with information within weeks, most usefully how he was dealing with it. As usual chiefly by avoidance, and a co-operative head who removed the WiFi from his classrooms.

Many who feel oddly unwell are unable to make the link, as he successfully did, with a subtle, or as in his case sometimes quite violent, change in their local electrosphere where they spend considerable time.

Still a beginner

Is this a diary, a monologue for no-one or what the heck?
Its what I make of it.
This morning - half-term - teenage girls so what to do?

Ah-ha, the exhibition is in town, the Art and life.

Dear old Syd, why is he that? It used to be Syd Barret the Crazy Diamond who wacked up and left the Floyd, upped the ante over the edge and crashed and burned. Who was the Greek? The winged god in mythology who flew too close to the Sun? Ah, Icarus, he got disrespectful, and scorched his wings? Don't diss the big man baby, you are a flea.

Syd to me was always after the mad youthful MORE, do it, excess, try it, more of it, higher, where does it go and how far can we get? And he went for more for himself and all of us, chaaaarge!! Swinging a friendly peaceful axe into the thorny bush and undergrowth of post-war timorous conventionality and sterile temerity, the bowler-hatted and flat-capped staid staleness of pre-sixties Britain.

Oh yeah, all of us who were there, and dropping acid over the dope in that fine dawn, along with the Piper at the Gates and the Stellar Overdrive. Cosmic.
And now he is gone, and some of us are still here, without his questing.
And how on earth can I introduce my teenage daughters to the meaning of this man, his rise to some highest place of mind expansion, psychedelic blast, into atmospheres too thin to sustain a mind.
"No rules" Syd said, anarchy, but there are in nature and even within bands and pushed too far things become disorganised, break down, no order = derangement, and isolation from common humanity's common understanding. What do I know? We smoked joints off the same lump of hash maybe, but his space was miles away from mine, spinning out there while we drew back from overdrive.

Somehow though, in the garden with the clothes line or borrowing his bike with bells and rings and pretty things to make it look good, we met and melded in Astronomy Domine as he did in the same special way with so many others.

Looking forward to meeting him today:

Long live Syd. Ha, its not even his name!

Break

Now I must try to help this poor lady Yvonne, disbelieved, treated as mad because she was unable to articulate her sickness was due to the unregulated low-level radiation she was so unfortuately extra-sensitive to. Institutionalised for years as crazy too, now so thoroughly damaged I wonder how she can go on, or if she will for much longer.
And what can I do? So little it makes ESGuru a bad joke.

The Ultimate Question

2008-10-15T01:37:00.000-07:00

Why am I here?

From this question, for me, follow all the others. Most urgently, what should I be doing? NOW.

A double answer follows that.

We should all be doing what we feel good about, which means we must find some pleasure in it, satisfaction, growth and achievment. We can enjoy what we do, and we will then want to get on with it and may do it well. No point in half doing anything. What we do must have meaning for us, value.

As social animals that seems to me to mean doing what is valued by at least some others, those who understand what you are about. You cannot please everyone, some may appreciate your efforts later, some may denigrate your activities, but meanwhile share and press on.

If you are lucky, and what you do is sufficiently valued, then there will be people and organisations prepared to pay you to do it, great. But some important, necessary work, slips through the cracks of how our society and much of the world is now organised. Overwhelming weight is presently placed on 'the market' and the commercialisation of most activities. It can be necessary to go 'against the grain' of these pressures.

All who have ever worked with wood will know this throws up real difficulties, with saw or chisel following an unwanted path. In the real world those with an independent income, who can still be bothered, may sidestep the earthy fact you need income to survive, eat, sleep warm, and care for dependents and so on. Most of us cannot but need to be intensely careful about our compromising, our accomodating to the grain of the hard world, or out goes baby with the bathwater.

It can be a difficult balancing act, but if you persist with what you do not feel is worthwhile in your heart, you are tossing your life away as just a means to an end, some one else's end, when it is your ends that matter, that is the end in itself. To a great degree, you are what you do, you define yourself in your actions and become the fruit of your own potential.

Glorious words and sentiments eh!?

But they can all too often lead you to penury, derision and disillusion. For every successful achiever in any field a bunch of unlucky failures may be moodily sour at life's tricks.

Well then for myself it is the old song about "pick yourself up, dust yourself down and start all over again." Get pissed first perhaps too, that can briefly help with the hurt.

So now I find I AM AN ATHEIST ON A MISSION FROM GOD.

One day I will get around to explaing that paradox, if you ever saw 'The Blues Brothers' film you might have an insight, good luck with it.

My purpose is to defy all those who claim there are no health implications from certain widely used and extremely popular electromagnetic radiofrequency technologies and wizard gadgetry. I am not alone in this rather unpopular, unpaid, and much derided crusade. We have intensive scientific backing, much truth few bucks.

Crusade? Well according to my internet dictionary, the third meaning, and leaving religion out of it, is:

“any vigorous, aggressive movement for the defense or advancement of an idea, cause, etc.: eg. a crusade against child abuse”.
