The Danish Health Council has now announced that the country's cancer registry has not been updated since 2001. This was the year that J. Chr. Gøttrik became director for the Health Council, appointed by A. Rolighed, who is the director of the Society for Prevention af Cancer and was minister of health at that time. So Rolighed, Gøttrik, Chr. Johansen were all employed by the same Society. After Gøttrik became the director of the Health Council, he appointed Chr. Johansen as a consultant for the council, so he held two positions. Gøttrik was the one who officially chose to disregard all the the research that established harmful effects of RF. The official reason was that the public should not be worried, but he meant that the mobile phone industry who be very cross with the Health Council, if they came out with the message that RF was dangerous. Now we can understand, why the Cancer registry has not been updated. This was done on purpose to serve the interest of certain groups. Gøttrik was fired earlier this year as the director, but I do not know if he still holds his positions in WHO.

Sandi Lawrence's excellent letter - post editing - appeared in todays Sussex Argus as below

Invisible danger

I have been reading the exchanges between Graham Chainey, M Boyask and Ashley Simmons in The Argus on the subject of wi-fi radiation and keeping my thoughts to myself.

However, after reading Mr Simmons' comment that “the alleged electromagnetic hypersensitivity has never been shown to exist” (letters, May 12) I realised that the time had come to enlighten him.

Why? Because I suffer electro-hypersensitivity and I am sensitive to Tetra, 3G masts and phones, Wi-Fi and more. I know many more people who are sensitised by these newer technologies or have become unwell around them.

I have put up with indifference, disbelief and abuse for three years now, but it has to stop because there are too many of us being affected. We EHS sufferers do exist.

We are here in the communities of West Sussex and across the UK. We have been ignored by the Government and doctors due to lack of scientific evidence but we are here.

How can anyone just say that hundreds, maybe thousands, of people are not unwell or experiencing distressing symptoms and situations? Who has the right to state that these electro-hypersensitive people simply do not exist?

The actual status of scientific “evidence” as it stands is that the “jury is out.” This means no one can be sure either way – with the exception of those who suffer from its effects. We need no science to prove it.

This condition means no mobile phones, WI-Fi; cordless phones; wireless music players or games, microwaves, digital TV or radio, baby alarms, broadband internet access, laptops and other modern devices and gadgets.

It means some means of transportation and visiting most towns and cities, leisure facilities, pubs and clubs are out. It means you may not be able to work in many environments or even drive a car.

Please just be thankful that you are not an EHS sufferer and maybe spare a thought for those who are.

Die Zeitschrift “The Lancet” hat einen Online-Artikel veröffentlicht, der die Verwendung von Untersuchungsergebnissen, insbesondere von gefundenen Auswirkungen, in Empfehlungen der WHO-Abteilungen untersucht. Die Autoren fanden Folgendes heraus: Systematische Überprüfungen und kurze Zusammenfassungen werden selten für die Abfassung von Empfehlungen benutzt. Stattdessen basieren die Prozesse in erster Linie auf der Meinung von Experten der jeweiligen Fachgebiete statt auf denen der Vertreter jener Gruppen, die mit den Empfehlungen umgehen müssen oder der Experten bestimmter methodischer Richtungen.

Primary brain tumors, whether malignant or nonmalignant, have devastating consequences. Unfortunately, few known causes exist. Despite decades of epidemiologic research to identify environmental causes of brain tumors, very little progress has been made. The purpose of this paper is to review the most recent studies in the epidemiology of brain tumors. Popular topics of interest in adult brain tumor epidemiology include electromagnetic fields (particularly cellular phones), occupational exposures, nitroso-containing compounds (especially smoking), hair products, and allergic and immunologic factors. Some of these topics are also applicable to the etiology of childhood brain tumors, but additional areas of interest in the pediatric population focus on parental exposure prior to conception, maternal exposure during pregnancy, and childhood exposure to infectious agents. After an extensive review of the literature since 2001, we present the most relevant studies. Although there are many proposed associations with brain tumors, none possess the statistical significance to confidently ascribe causation. However, new findings and associations, particularly those in allergy and immunology, will present interesting opportunities for further development.

In recent years a growing number of people have begun to use mobile phone technology. This phenomenon has raised questions and doubts about possible effects on users' brains. This literature review focuses on the human electrophysiological and neuro-metabolic effects of mobile phone (MP)-related electromagnetic fields (EMFs) published in the last 10 years. To this end, all relevant papers have been reported and, subsequently, a literature selection has been carried out by taking several criteria into account, such as: blind techniques, randomization or counter-balancing of conditions and subjects, detail of exposure characteristics and the statistical analyses used. As a result, only the studies meeting the selection criteria have been described, evaluated and discussed further. The main goal of this review is to provide a clear scenario of the most reliable experiments carried out over the last decade and to offer a critical point of view in their evaluation. It is concluded that MP-EMFs may influence normal physiology through changes in cortical excitability and that in future research particular care should be dedicated to both methodological and statistical control, the most relevant criteria in this research field.

In the Freiburger Appeal, initially 50 doctors in Germany reported reduced therapeutic efficiency of prescribed drugs correlated with the use of pulsed microwaves, such as those from Mobile Telephone Masts. Some 40,000 signatories have now supported the appeal, including 1,200 doctors. Alongside the Freiburger Appeal there are now similar appeals from Lichtenfels, Hof, Bamberg and Helsinki. In the Irish Republic, the IDEA group of Doctors has its own reports relating to Mobile Telephone Masts which confirm the findings of the Freiburger Appeal doctors.

Radiation from baby monitors 'poses risk'
Infants being harmed by safety devices, say scientists

By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor

Published: 20 May 2007

Baby monitors, bought by parents to keep their children safe, may instead be harming them, some scientists fear. They warn that the devices are bathing the infants in radiation at an age when they are most vulnerable to it.

The radiation, similar to that given off by modern cordless phones, is part of the increasing electronic smog to which mobile phones, their masts and Wi-Fi systems also contribute. The monitors use the same digitally enhanced cordless telecommunication (Dect) technology as cordless phones.

Over recent weeks The Independent on Sunday has exclusively reported growing concern that the smog may be damaging human health. The paper reported that Sir William Stewart, chairman of the Health Protection Agency, has been privately pressing an investigation into the effects on children of installing Wi-Fi networks in schools.

Baby monitors are typically placed close to infants, who are particularly at risk from radiation. An inquiry by Sir William into mobile phones seven years ago reported that a one-year-old child could absorb about twice as much per kilogram of body weight as an adult.

Babies are especially vulnerable because their bodies and nervous systems are still developing and because they will have more time to accumulate exposure to the radiation and for any delayed effects to develop.

Professor Denis Henshaw of the University of Bristol said the monitors are "being marketed without any checks and balances or even studies into their effects".

Professor Olle Johansson of Sweden's Karolinska Institute said that the cells of a growing baby are "very susceptible". Powerwatch, an information service on radiation, says: "A Dect monitor placed in your baby's bedroom will expose them to more pulsing microwave radiation than living near to a mobile phone mast would do. We have had a number of reports from parents that their babies did not sleep well and cried a lot when they used Dect monitors." It added that older wired and analogue monitors do not raise the same concerns.

Dr Roger Coghill, who runs a laboratory specialising in the radiation, suggested that the Dect monitors should be placed at least 10 feet from infants. He said, "You want to hear what a baby is up to, but you don't want to harm him or her."

A spokesman for one company which sells the monitors said it did not believe that there was any danger from the monitors, which more than meet international safety standards.
