All over the United States, garage door openers have gone bonkers ... and it's all the fault of the U.S. Military! The Government Accountability Office in Washington released the results of a special investigation on Thursday, saying the cause of thousands of garage-door mishaps is a new military radio system apparently used all over the country. In a colossal screw-up only the Pentagon could pull off, the new Land Mobile Radio units operate on the same frequencies as most garage-door openers. Every time the Pentagon begins using the new radios at another base, the unlucky homeowners nearby suddenly find themselves playing a deadly game of Garage Door Roulette -- and the military has done nothing to warn citizens of the coming chaos...

Email 11-21-05 to Joanne Mueller from Assoc. Prof. Olle Johansson:

Dear Joanne,

The "Microwave News"-article is so very important! And, your comment: "As Iris points out, "industry" is still very much in control!!! There is a price to pay for dishonesty, greed and deception so the truth continues to come out........." definitely should be included in all future textbooks in science philosophy!

Petition to remove Dr. Mike Repacholi
http://omega.twoday.net/stories/877606/

IN RESPONSE TO ARTICLE RE "KENNEDY RESPONDS TO CORPORATE POLLUTERS" - Milwaukee Sentinel - Business & Your Money - October 2005 - http://www.jsonline.com/bym/news/oct05/364925.asp

Dear John: I am "very angry also!!!" Angry that no politician has the guts to respond to my pleas to report name of person responsible for hiding away the EMF Interagency Committee Report that will trigger the release of information that "prudent avoidance" of certain EMF/EMR (electromagnetic fields/electromagnetic radiation) exposures should be taken particularly on behalf of children toward the prevention of childhood Leukemia as well as all of the quality-of-life health problems such as asthma, sinus infections, ear infections, headaches, poor sleep, ADD, ADHD, gastrointestinal problems and more that occur prior to the development of Leukemia!!! Not surprisingly the government site ( http://www.niehs.nih/gov/emfrapid/home.html ) carefully disguises the fact that this very important report has never been reviewed by Congress and minimizes the results by designating EMF's as a Class 2B carcinogen ("possibly cancer-causing") when former President George HW Bush allowed the EPA to get away with changing classifiication from "probable" to "possible" in regard to carcinogenicity.

The public deserves to know that simple, inexpensive action such as moving electric appliances/devices from close proximity to one's bed -- "anyone's bed, not just children," may prevent or greatly reduce every health problem all the way from poor sleep to cancer. Electrical wiring behind one's bed and/or high frequencies on wiring throughout a house that can be greatly reduced by placement of filters ( http://www.electricalpollution.com ) is another way of reducing electrical pollution.

We citizens of this great country -- the United States of America -- were "ripped off" by a major scam commonly referred to as "EMF RAPID Study!!!" Information leaked to Dr. Louis Slesin, Editor of "Microwave News," ( http://www.microwavenews.com ) revealed the EMF Interagency Committee Report finding "causal connection to immune deficiency and Leukemia" to low levels of EMF's may never be released to Congress!!!! The EMF RAPID Study came about as result of many years of reports of adverse effects from low levels of EMF/EMR and is/was well-known for decades by the Russians as well as our U.S. military!!!

I am including an email I sent to prospective "2008 Presidential Candidate Kerry" that also has gone unanswered.

If you have some way of providing this information to Robert Kennedy, perhaps he will be able to drum up enough anger to properly deal with this tragic situation? If someone doesn't, our health system will continue to plummet toward a disastrous end. Alzheimers will become prevalent in younger and younger persons. We won't have citizens capable of anything let alone running even a corrupt government!!!

Hopefully you can help "spread- the-word" and forward my plea to Robert Kennedy!!! Take care - Joanne

[Email by Joanne C. Mueller (contact info below) 6-5-05 to Senator John Kerry. No response as of 10-24-05.]

Dear Senator Kerry: Even tho your platform "Kids First" is primarily re insurance coverage, the phrase "Kids First" applies to my work over the last 14 years.

"Principles -- make sure Washington stands up for needs and interests of American families" also fits right in with my work.

Immune deficiencies in two grandsons were RARE because low IgG subclasses 1 and 3 indicate "ageing." They were toddlers when their beds were moved away from walls opposite electric meters!!! They "GOT WELL" even tho we were asked if children had died in the family and were told they may develop Leukaemia (British spelling because I have appealed to the Charity, "Children With Leukaemia" for help in replicating findings and help re informing the public). IgG subclass deficiencies are "markers for irradiation......"

Cages with two guinea pigs were placed against "powerwall" (wall opposite electric meter) in our own home. Severe blood changes resulted. Several of the blood tests indicated "hypersegmented neutrophils" (slowed DNA synthesis) which is also "a marker for irradiation." The severe neutropenia and lymphocytosis were apparently signs of a collapse of their immune systems. One out of each set of two died within 30 days.

The $46 million EMF RAPID Study's "EMF Interagency Committee Report" has never been presented to Congress. EMF's have been categorized as a Class 2B carcinogen. Leukaemia and immune deficiencies were a couple of the health problems that were included as being related to EMF exposures in the final report.

The 2002 California EMF Report found connections to EMF's as low as 4.0 milligauss and childhood Leukaemia, brain cancer, Lou Gehrig's Disease and miscarriage.

For every positive study, scientists have been paid to come up with inconclusive and misleading studies and the controversy and arguing goes on all the way to the World Health Organization (WHO) that used to recommend "prudent avoidance." The American Cancer Society used to distribute information regarding avoidance of electrical items near beds.

Withholding of information to the public is an absolute crime!!!! Associate Professor Olle Johansson of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden is willing to replicate findings re my grandsons and guinea pigs and is currently on his way to Switzerland to attend another WHO meeting in regard to another EMR subject.

In addition to information above, I have found countless persons including my own husband who have been adversely affected by sleeping close to electric clocks and electric clock radios. My husband's neuropsychiatric tests (diagnosed with Alzheimers) "improved" after moving his clock radio!

Michael Boyum (age 23), Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, died from Leukaemia. Bonnie Boyum, Michael's mother phoned to let me know he had an electric clock and a small fan on his headboard (I had written to the Boyum's after reading about their family in the newspaper).

A mother from down our street moved the electric clock radio out of her son's bedroom after I checked milligauss readings at their place and she informed me six months later that he was well for the first time in three years (since they moved in and the clock radio was placed near the bed). He suffered chronic infections as did my grandsons.

Asthma is an economy-breaking health problem that greatly affects many and particularly the poor who can't afford healthcare and who often do not have insurance coverage. Asthma was a major health problem before my grandsons were moved away from walls opposite electric meters. "Little coughs" were the first symptoms I observed in my guinea pigs after placing their cages against "powerwall." Two veterinarians diagnosed "asthma......."

Electrical appliances/devices close to beds are causing literally every health problem all the way from poor sleep all the way to cancer!!!

Electrical pollution on electrical wiring is also causing children all of the above problems plus many more problems including ADD, ADHD and learning problems. The future of our society depends on children with "functioning brains!!!"

The website http://www.electricalpollution.com has information regarding simple steps that can be taken to greatly reduce high frequencies that are on electrical wiring in homes and schools around-the-world. The principal of two schools in Wisconsin, who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis, can testify to significant improvement after reduction in EMF/EMR exposure on electrical wiring.

I am sending a copy of this email to Dr. Fatih Uckun, currently the head of Parker-Hughes Cancer Center. Dr. Uckun made a significant contribution to the conclusions of EMF RAPID and knows that immune deficiencies are caused by such exposure. Dr. Uckun knows the same gene (BTK) is responsible for immune deficiency and is the same gene as that for Leukaemia.

I appealed to Parker-Hughes by email last fall asking for help to "get the word out" by perhaps providing a pamphlet or flyer in their clinic. I did not receive a response to the emails. Since the NIH partly funded the Hughes Institute, perhaps Dr. Uckun is bound by some sort of agreement "not to speak out???" Or, to "carefully limit what he says???"

Former President George Bush never responded to an appeal I made to him through a Leukemia Society in Texas many years ago even tho the Bush's lost a child to Leukemia. Senator Hillary Clinton never responded to an appeal I made to her. President Bill Clinton never responded to a letter mailed to him on behalf of all children........

Our health system problems will never be resolved until "responsible and speedy action" is taken to begin to inform the public!!! Alarming the public should in no way be a concern and is a ridiculous and irresponsible excuse to cover-up vital information!!! Not only will thousands of children be able to pay attention and learn in school, they will also not be running around feeling angry and depressed because they can't get proper sleep. Adults will also benefit in the same way. I estimate overall health costs will go down by about 51% just by "informing the public" about information that is vital and necessary for the good of all people -- the right of all Americans to live safely in peace!!!!

God help us all if a candidate with a platform of "Kids First" and "Principles" will follow in the "footsteps of greed, minimization and deception!!!! God Bless You if you are willing to help in the effort to inform the public!!!! Take care - Joanne

Effects of electromagnetic fields on the immune systems of occupationally exposed humans and mice
http://omega.twoday.net/stories/1004430/

Roy: This is the first time I have seen a combined study re mice and humans that confirms immune changes re lymphocytes and neutrophils in the same way I have reported many times that my two grandsons' rare immune deficiencies improved after moving their beds away from a source of chronic, prolonged EMR exposure (electric meter) and the equally significant changes in guinea pigs before, during and after chronic, prolonged EMR exposure (electric meter).

Two CBC's were run on two guinea pigs prior to exposure exhibiting "normal results," severe and significant declines after exposure, and "improvement in white cell counts" in the surviving guinea pig. One died within 30 days of placement against "powerwall"/electric meter. Another set of two guinea pigs were found to have drastic white blood cell changes after exposure. In that set, one also died within 30 days and the other "improved" after moving the cage away from electric meter.

In this occupational study out of France, humans and mice were evaluated in same EMR environment with decline in blood parameters after exposure and improved blood results after EMR reduction. The exposures were apparently not as drastic as those due to sleeping close to electric appliances/electric meters and yet similar results were achieved.

You may recall that the boys' immunologist had told me he knew of a study or studies that found immune changes in mice due to low dose EMR exposures but that he didn't know how much of what happens to mice happens to people. That was about 14 years ago!!!!

The immunologist sent grandsons' blood to EMF researcher, Dr. Fatih Uckun but never told us the blood was going to an EMF researcher doing studies for the National Institute of Health (NIH)!!! Dr. Uckun has made statements that the gene is the same for Leukemia as that for Hypogammaglobulinemia (low immune).

As you know, Prof. Dennis Henshaw, an EMF researcher for the London Charity, Children With Leukaemia, recently released a study re electric appliances such as electric stoves, etc. All studies re EMR are important, but studies that will simulate EMR exposures to which children are now being subjected while trying to get the much-needed sleep to restore their bodies are vital. Assoc. Prof. Olle Johansson has agreed to replicate those findings but needs funding.

It is essential that governments around-the-world re-introduce "prudent avoidance measures" -- recommendations that were being made back in the early 1990's!!!! Health costs are spiraling out-of-control and our children deserve to have their parents know that electric appliances/devices must not be close to the heads of their beds!!!! The children can't study if they don't get proper sleep. They can't study if they develop ADD or ADHD and learning problems due to sleeping close to electric appliances/devices/meters. They can't study if they are sick from EMR-induced asthma and other chronic inflammatory problems such as sinus infections, ear infections. Some go on to develop Leukemia.......

EMR levels in the French study appear to be lower than what would be measured from a bedside electric clock, fan, telephone equipment, power supply boxes, electric meters, monitors, etc. "on-the-pillow," therefor indicating an urgent need for action. The children can't wait while scientists try and determine whether the adverse health effects are promoted by RF (radio frequency) from the clock/meter, etc., whether due to polarization, multi-directional fields from the transformer, or whether a level of 1.0 mg "on-the-pillow" versus 2.0 mg, 3.0 mg or 4.0 mg!!!! High frequencies may be on electrical wiring including wiring right behind or next to a bed.

The children must not have ANY electrical items by the heads of their beds!!! Action required is minimal -- simply moving the electrical items and/or the bed away from a wall opposite a refrigerator, electric meter, etc. and virtually "cost-free!!!"

It is essential that I repeat much of what everyone who works every day for the EMR cause already knows (about our grandsons and guinea pigs) because the French study confirms my "non-expert, anecedotal reports" and, combined with other existing studies, leaves little doubt (unusual re medical/scientific studies) that there are grave reasons for immediate action!!!!

EMR activists also know adults are affected -- often close to "equally" re EMR effects linked to children. Adults die from Leukemia too and suffer from EMR-induced insomnia that causes every health problem. Many of us believe children are "God's gifts" or "gifts from a higher power" and, in fact, if we don't provide proper care, in many instances, the government intervenes to order medical treatment and/or to actually remove children from irresponsible, negligent parents.

As Don Maisch wrote the other day regarding my concerns about three Chinese children developing Leukemia after being adopted in the U.S.: "In a perfect world, all of these cases should be investigated [re EMR exposure]." Don is right, the world is "far from perfect" but there are a whole lot of scientists, politicians, industry leaders and others who continue to "let our children down!!!!"

Those smiles on childrens' faces are perfect and precious -- they depend on us -- they need our help!!!!

You and other EMR activists know the importance of informing the public re prudent avoidance. The "plea for help" is intended for others who will receive this email who know what needs to be done but choose to "pull the covers up" in their own beds, some of whom claim to "care about children" such as most politicians who don't even dare respond to the question "WHY hasn't the EMF Interagency Committee Report ever been released to Congress" and "WHEN will the information be presented to Congress???!!!"

Take care and best wishes to all who really DO CARE!!!! Joanne

The European Union (EU) has recently introduced a directive that aims to protect workers from adverse effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields. All countries within the EU are required to incorporate this directive into their national law by 2008. This legislation applies to all types of occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields with frequencies from 0 Hz to 300 GHz. It has dramatic implications for interventional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, because workers who are close to the MR scanner while scanning is taking place are exposed at levels substantially above the exposure limits. This is especially the case for time-varying magnetic fields in the 110 Hz-5 kHz range, which includes the field from the imaging gradients. In this article, the scientific evidence on which the limits are based is brought into question. It is concluded that an urgent review of the directive is required and that more research, especially at MR gradient frequencies, is needed.

From FGF-Infoline, 25.08.2005

Check out this website. We are beginning to get recognized. http://ieq.nibs.org/intro.php

This is from the National Institutes of Building Sciences on Indoor Environmental Quality. http://ieq.nibs.org/om/gr_policies.php

They make recommendations from EPA standards and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities recommendation as well as from many other Federal sources and professionals.

Here is a brief summary of quotes: "It is recommended that cell phone use be prohibited in areas of a building when requested by an electromagnetically sensitive individual who needs to work or visit that area."

"People with chemical and/or electromagnetic sensitivities can experience debilitating reactions from exposure to extremely low levels of common chemicals such as pesticides, cleaning products, fragrances, and remodeling activities, and from electromagnetic fields emitted by computers, cell phones, and other electrical equipment."

"Reasonable accommodations for a chemically sensitive and/or electromagnetically sensitive individual can include providing a space or meeting area that addresses one or more of the Cleaner Air criteria, upon request, such as

* Require cell phones and computers be turned off"

"Designate areas free from use of cell phones, two-way radios, and wireless equipment."

Recommendations for Accommodations

People with chemical and/or electromagnetic sensitivities can experience debilitating reactions from exposure to extremely low levels of common chemicals such as pesticides, cleaning products, fragrances, and remodeling activities, and from electromagnetic fields emitted by computers, cell phones, and other electrical equipment.

The severity of sensitivities varies among people with chemical and/or electromagnetic sensitivities. Some people can enter certain buildings with minor accommodations while others may be so severely impacted that they are unable to enter these same spaces without debilitating reactions.

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other disability laws, public and commercial buildings are required to provide reasonable accommodations for those disabled by chemical and/or electromagnetic sensitivities. These accommodations are best achieved on a case-by-case basis.

Reasonable accommodations for a chemically sensitive and/or electromagnetically sensitive individual can include providing a space or meeting area that addresses one or more of the Cleaner Air criteria, upon request, such as

* Require cell phones and computers be turned off
