School Refusal and CFS

In "School Refusal"/"School Phobia" many children experience "stomachache, headache or nausea." These are also the same symptoms known to occur in both "Radio Wave Illness" and "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome."

Check out the following article, "Learning and Memorization Impairment in childhood chronic fatigue syndrome manifesting as school phobia in Japan." The main author leaves his contact details at the end of the paper. I called him about two years when I was in the midst of recovering myself from CFIDS but he didn't want to talk to me and he didn't want to even consider EMR as a causal factor. Maybe if some of the well-known doctors, scientists, researchers, activists on the EMF-Refugee list gave him a call (or sent him an email), he would be more open to listening to them (instead of the experience of a person who previously had CFS, was able to clearly connect it to EMR, and was hence able to cure himself of it.)

At any rate, it is unfortunate that politicians and the populace have accepted the idea - as a fact - that it is the Yutori Kyoiku (Relaxed Education) system that is responsible for falling scholastic abilities found in Japan. While we all know that if one fries a child's brain with microwaves it is more than likely to have a deliterious affect on his or her mental functions then the relaxation of a stringent educational system.

Radiation Sensitivity of Human Hair Follicles in SCID-hu Mice (p. 11)

Using an experimental model we developed to study the growth and epilation of the human hair follicle by implanting human scalp tissue onto immunodeficient C.B-17 scid/scid mice, we evaluated the effect of X irradiation on the function of human hair follicles. Our findings suggest that follicular stem cells that survive high-dose exposure in the sheath-like epithelial tissue can reproduce the complete follicle structure, and that our animal model can be used to assess the effects of radiation exposure on human skin and to identify and characterize human follicular stem cells.

This is very good but quite disturbing as it confirms what I have suspected for a very long time which is that mobile use causes aggressive & violent behaviour in large numbers of people. The reports of violence in my regional paper the Argus have grown and grown and grown recently. I am not exaggerating when I say that at least a third of the items in current Argus issues are to do with violent crimes. Today there was a feature about 60 schoolkids who had organised a mass fight via their mobiles. Lots turned up and the police stopped it but it still would have happened otherwise.

Zum Artikel Grenzwerte

Am 07.03.2007 09:25 von Gerhard Kampschulte

Es gibt keine Grenzwerte in Deutschland die der Vorsorge dienen. Alle Grenzwerte werden zum Schutz für die Industrie und für die Planungssicherheit aufgestellt. Sie sollen die Hersteller und Betreiber von Technik und Produkten vor Regress schützen. Beste Beispiele Rauchen und Holzschutzmittel sowie Asbest. Hier wurde klar nach gewiesen das auch unterhalb der Grenzwerte etwas passieren kann. Das gleich gilt für die Mobilfunkstrahlen, die Mikrowellen sind. Es ist nur eine Frage der Dauer wann Schäden auftreten, aber nicht die Höhe der Strahlen. Es ist auch das politische und wirtschaftliche Gezerre um die Deutung was ist ein Hinweis und was ist ein Beweis in der Forschung. Hier legt sich der wirtschaftlich Stärkerer seine Sichtweise zu recht und die wird dann auch von der Politik vertreten hat aber mit der Wahrheit nichts zu tun.

Grenzwerte sind zu hoch

Die Mobilfunkindustrie hat bekanntlich zusammen mit Behörden thermische, aber keine athermischen Grenzwerte nach § 26, Bundesimmissionsschutzgesetz, selbst aufgestellt. Diese wurden so hoch angesiedelt, dass sie wohl nie erreicht werden können. Die gleiche Industrie prüft jetzt ihre eigenen Vorgaben. Daher ist die Grenzwert-Messerei eine reine Augenwischerei, um auch den letzten Zweiflern in Deutschland etwas vorzuspielen.

Wenn die Mobilfunkindustrie zu ihren Grenzwerten stehen würde, dann sollte sie einmal ihre Mitarbeiter nur zehn Minuten der Hälfte der Strahlungs-Grenzwerte aussetzen. Das wäre zwar glaubwürdig, aber viel zu gefährlich. Daher die berechtigte und interessante Frage: Warum tragen eigentlich Mitarbeiter der Mobilfunkindustrie bei Wartungsarbeiten an Mobilfunkanlagen immer Strahlenschutzanzüge? Auch Schornsteinfeger sind angewiesen, sich in Mobilfunkanlagen-Nähe so zu verhalten. Was allen bekannt ist, die deutschen Grenzwerte sind die höchsten in der ganzen Welt. Selbst die alte Sowjetunion hat wegen der möglichen Gefahren viel kleinere Grenzwerte vorgeschrieben. Italien und viele europäische Länder haben sich wegen der Utopien der deutschen Grenzwerte bei der EU mit Grausen abgewendet.

Just look at the list of some of the very varied effects that thyroid disorders can have in people according to allopathic medicine. It is quite a long list. Some of them are what occur with electrosensitivity.

Why then does the occurrence of variable symptoms with electrosensitivity cause doctors a problem?

New York Times: Honeybees Vanish

The question that begs to be asked is "Is there a connection between the rise in electrosmog and the weakening of the bee's immune system - and can this also be related to the 80 or more human immune system disorders that have increased exponentially with the increase in background electromagnetic radiation levels?"

The fact of the matter is that it was not common for people to have herpes simplex - or other herpes-family related illnesses - back in the 70s. However, a number of herpes family viruses are now being found to proliferate in people with conditions like autism, CFS, and Alzheimer's - and members of the herpes-family viruses have infected carp in Japan, lobster off the coast of Florida, and sardines off the coast of Australia.

http://www.nids.net/pdf/slides1.pdf http://www.nids.net/testimony.htm http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/05/000512083302.htm http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/11/031107055048.htm http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=4628 http://www.faqs.org/health/Sick-V1/Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome.html

Depending on one's level of thinking, one can conclude that it is either the virus or rather a weakening of the immune system that is the cause of these problems.

Research has actually shown that exposure to certain electromagnetic fields (EMF) - besides weakening our immune systems - will stimulate the genome of the Epstein-barr virus, a virus in the herpes family that triggers what is called "mono" in the US and "glandular fever" in other parts of the world (the UK, Australia, and NZ).

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=search&DB=pubmed

Can we also assume that these EMFs are stimulating the genome of the other viruses in the herpes family (e.g CMV, HH6V, and so on)? It is a logical assumption - for anyone with half a brain - to assume so, I would think. Of course, further research needs to be done - and not the research funded by the cell phone industry - which almost always with lots of fanfare tells us how safe this technology is. Unfortunately, the people doing this kind of research often have their fundings cut - as was the case with twice nominated for the Nobel Prize, Robert O. Becker due to pressure from the DoD because he was trying to warn us about the dangers of this technology way back in the 1970s.

7. Exposure to long-term microwave radiation has been shown to change a particular form of white blood cell (lymphocyte) ratio - known as the T-helper/T-suppressor (T4/T8) cell ratio - from normal to abnormal.

Immunoglobulin concentrations and T-lymphocyte subsets in workers of TV re-transmission and satellite communication centres were assessed. An increase in IgG and IgA concentrations, an increased count of lymphocytes and T8 lymphocytes, an decreased count of NK cells and a lower value of T-helper/T-suppressor ratio were found. Neither disorders in immunoglobulin concentrations nor in the count of T8 and NK cells had any clinical implications.

PMID: 9587910 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=search&DB=pubmed

Abnormalities in this T-lymphocyte ratio have been shown to lead to an increased susceptibility to viral, fungal, and bacterial infections. Symptoms include sore throats, low-grade fevers, weakness, persistent fatigue, and swollen lymph glands.

T-cells are particularly valuable in relationship to the control of viral and fungal infections. T-cells play a major role in direct and indirect control of bacterial infections (Blumberg and Schooley, 1985; Braverman and Pfeiffer, 1982). Severe defects in T-lymphocyte functions can lead to an increased susceptibility to viral, fungal, and bacterial infections and may also be an indicator of the degree of exposure to environmental carcinogens and toxins (Blumberg and Schooley, 1985). Most T-lymphocyte immunodeficiencies are due to intrinsic abnormalities in the lymphoid/stem cells (Blumberg and Schooley, 1985). The only curative therapy for T-lymphocyte defects and genetic diseases is the replacement of the normal lymphocyte stem cells. Bone-marrow transplantation is the primary therapy for T-lymphocyte defects. Bone-marrow therapy may have a future role for patients with AIDS and/or other T-helper cell deficiencies.

I began studying T-cell ratios (T-helper/T-suppressor) because of the increasing number of patients that I saw complaining of viral-like illness of unknown etiology, e.g., sore throats, low-grade fever, weakness, persistent fatigue, and swollen glands. About 50% of these patients have had T-cell abnormalities. Decreases in T-helper cells are found in viral illness and chronic disease. There may be a new syndrome, a pre-AIDS related complex (pre-ARC). Increases in T-helper cells occur in autoimmune diseases, healing ulcers, and forms of leprosy. T-helper cell deficiency is likely to be an increasing problem even in non-AIDS patients. (Braverman) http://www.pathmed.com/p/119,320.html
