PRESSEERKLÄRUNG

Peitinger Untersuchung liegt vor:
MOBILFUNKSTRAHLUNG UNTER VERDACHT!!!

Peiting (sz) - Endlich liegen die Ergebnisse der Peitinger Mobilfunkstudie vor, und die Ergebnisse bestätigen die Sorgen der besorgten Bürgerinnen und Bürger. Im Sommer 2005 hatten sich 126 Personen aus Peiting (Landkreis Weiheim-Schongau) bereit gefunden an dieser Untersuchung teilzunehmen. Bei allen Probanden wurde ein großes Blutbild erstellt, ein umfangreicher Fragebogen zu den Telefongewohnheiten und zur gesundheitlichen Situation erhoben und zusätzlich der Schlafplatz nach der jeweils vorliegenden Strahlenbelastung gemessen.

Der Wormser Umweltmediziner Dr. Peter German, Mitglied der IGUMED und des Ökologischen Ärztebundes hat sich intensiv mit den vorliegenden Daten befasst und nun das beunruhigende Ergebnis vorgestellt.

1. 40 Prozent der in Peiting untersuchten Personen hatten Reticulozytenwerte unter dem Normbereich. Normalerweise finden sich entsprechende Werte bei etwa zwei bis drei Prozent der Bevölkerung und selbst in höher mit Mobilfunkstrahlung belasteten Gruppen waren es bei ähnlichen Untersuchungen höchstens um die 10 Prozent.

2. Es besteht laut der Untersuchung ein signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen der Höhe der gemessenen Belastung am Schlafplatz (Leistungsflussdichte) und den durch den Fragebogen erhobenen Befindlichkeitsstörungen bzw. Erkrankungen. Das heißt im Klartext: Je höher die Strahlenbelastung, desto kränker waren die untersuchten Personen.

3. Bei vielen, aber nicht bei allen Personen mit höherer Strahlenbelastung fanden sich auch unter der Norm liegende Reticulozytenwerte im Blutbild. Daraus kann man schließen, dass die Probanden eine unterschiedliche Sensibilität gegenüber der vorhandenen Strahlenbelastung entwickeln.

Insgesamt ergibt sich ein sehr bedenkliches Bild in Peiting. Die Untersuchung liefert deutliche Hinweise auf einen tatsächlichen Zusammenhang zwischen mobilfunkverursachter Strahlenbelastung und Störungen von Wohlbefinden und Gesundheit. Zu bedenken ist auch, dass die Untersuchung in Peiting noch vor der Aufrüstung der bestehenden Sendeanlagen auf UMTS bzw. das GPRS-Edge-System erfolgte. Die zwischenzeitlich festgestellten massiven Verschlechterungen im Gesundheitszustand vieler Peitinger Bürgerinnen und Bürger seit dem Sommer 2006 haben die UIP und das Netzwerk Risiko Mobilfunk Peiting dazu veranlasst demnächst eine zweite Untersuchung mit dem selben Personenkreis durchzuführen. Schon jetzt aber wird die Forderung an die politisch Verantwortlichen erhoben, sich endlich um die betroffene Bevölkerung zu kümmern, Grenzwerte in einem ersten Schritt drastisch zu senken und alternative, gesundheitsunbedenkliche Kommunikationstechnologien umzusetzen. Im Zusammenhang mit der gesundheitlichen Belastung durch die derzeit verwendeten Mobilfunktechniken, wie GSM, UMTS, schnurlose Heimtelefone nach DECT-Standart, Wlan und Bluetooth, muss endlich dem Recht auf körperliche Unversehrtheit (GG, Artikel 2) gegenüber den Profitinteressen der Kommunikationsbranche wieder Vorrang eingeräumt werden.

Some people asked me for translating into the English language the scientific article on the damages from EMF(electromagnetic fields) written by myself and issued on february 18th 2007 in the italian newspaper “IL QUOTIDIANO”.

“THE UGLINESS OF THE INSTALLMENTS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR THE SIGHT AND THE HEALTH”-by Prof.Dr.Eng.Giancarlo Spadanuda:Scientific-technical consultant for electrosmog of Italian’s Bench. http://www.spadanuda.it

The technological installments are spread out everywhere in CATANZARO (CALABRIA-ITALY), as in every italian city (but not in Salzburg or Wien) distributed random,without any municipal rules which may correctly discipline the locations.Such as ugliness,such a desorder have become unacceptable both from the stand point of serious biological and clinic effects over the population (the indipendent scientifical studies which argue that are hundred indeed) and the one of the sight environment impact.The sweet beautiful hills (such as Germaneto,Siano),the streets (such as Corso Mazzini),the ancient,noble palaces (of the quartiers la Grecìa,Fondachello) have been violented and brutalized for a handful of dollars. The following ones are some of the last scientific and juridical results. The first studies that are being accomplished in Italy, at Genoa UNIVERSITY (Liguria-Italy) on account of MASSA’s Bench (Toscana-Italy), about the 380 thousand volts power-line LIVORNO-ACCIAIOLO (TOSCANA) reveal a tension similar to the power-line passing by some spots of Catanzaro.Such studies I am interested to, as a technical-scientific consultant on account of the claimants against high-voltage power-line company, “point that a sharp molecolar target has beeen individuated:the very important enzyme Acetylcholin-esterase-ACHE- undertaking an instant,strong and reversible decrease of the activity (about fifty per cent), subsequent to the exposition…with dramatic consequences on the embryo”. The Judge for the Preliminary Investigation (GIP) of the city PAOLA(Calabria-Cosenza -Italy) ,on a request from the District Attorney (Public Prosecutor), has recently issued writ of distress for the telephone mobile antenna and has ordered its disactivation, because of the appeal against the telephone company subsequent to my technical-scientific consultancy on account of the claimants. The provision’s abstract, confirmed by the Tribunal’s Freedom of city Cosenza, translated into the English language-for other ones see url: http://www.mast-victims.org , has been sent to more than forty States all over the world; I receive visits to my url:http://www.spadanuda.it , statements of solidarity and worth, from USA (many Universities), India, Japan, Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and all over Europe (Germany, Holland, Austria, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Sweden-Karolinska Institute for the Medicine Nobel Awards-, Bulgaria-the Academy of Science, and so on…). It’s natural and logic in the light of what I have just said, the Municipality of Catanzaro has the juridical-ethical-scientific-technological duty to resolve, once and for all, the serious problem, that is the reappropriation of its territory. It’s what some Communes (every some Calabrian ones), have done just in these days, deliberating, in wise and correct way, the putting off the “wild” installments, individuating the new places where to locate all the technological installments; all that has been done by the Variant of the General Town Plant (PRG) togheter with the telephone companies (in guarantee of the Tribunal Sentence). The new locations have been chosen according to the criterions respecting the principles of minimization of exposure to electromagnetic fields (Italian Ordinance 7.8.2003) and precaution (art.174 Amsterdam’s Constitution’s Treaty of the European Union). Perhaps progress and beautifulness may sail together without undergoing a wreck?

The UK owes Dr George Carlo a debt of gratitude for agreeing to visit the UK. He has and is still coping with a gruelling schedule, visiting London, Dublin and Jersey and giving back to back interviews with the doctors, scientists, politicians, the public and the media.

Radio 4 "You and Yours" are due to air a pre-recorded interview with Dr George Carlo and Professor Lawrie Challis which was done after the Westminster meeting last week, keep a look out on: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/youandyours/ - listen live.

Read the witness reports to the Westminster meeting which are contained within the Buergerwelle website link: MOBILES 'PUT KIDS AT RISK OF AUTISM AND BRAIN TUMOURS' http://omega.twoday.net/stories/3360329/

Dr George Carlo's Westminster presentation was powerful. He encouraged us to urgently work with medical doctors as people need help. We simply cannot wait for the Government and industry scientists to carry out more research while people suffer with ill health, people need help now while research continues.

Fellow RRT trustee Andrew Mitchell MP opened up the Westminster meeting and RRT trustee Dr Ian Gibson MP chaired the meeting. The Attlee Room is the largest room in Westminster and was at full capacity (150) however; sadly and shamefully the meeting was only attended by approximately four MPs, this is a disgrace when you consider how serious this health issue is and knowing how full the MPs post bags are with letters and petitions from members of the public begging them for help!

Many people are suffering with EHS, cancer and other debilitating illness which they claim is due to EMF exposure. One lady gave a heart breaking account of her suffering and her daughters suffering due to a Vodafone mast near her home, she begged someone to help; she said that she took part in the Essex University double blind study and was able to detect that a phone mast frequency was on or off 100%, she said that she has visited Professor Olle Johansson in Sweden, he said she was suffering with EHS and would be looked after if she lived in Sweden, however, sadly he couldn't help due to the fact that he has no funding and could only offer sympathy. She has visited her MP and doctors, sadly her doctor cannot help her as they have no guidelines to follow. Her account of her terrible suffering moved many people to tears. I hope the stone hearted people in the room realise that this problem is real and start putting health before wealth.

Professor Lawrie Challis attended the meeting, he represents the MTHR Government research programme; he received many heated questions from the audience, one lady asked him if phone masts are safe and he said he could not.

Ingrid Dickenson from HESE-UK asked Professor Lawrie Challis why they haven't reviewed or translated the 1500 German and Russian peer reviewed and published scientific research on EMFs and dangers to health as the research has been done and proved, http://www.hese-project.org

The Radiation Research Trust called for the reopening of the Stewart Report, please see enclosed Resolution. Dr Ian Gibson MP has offered to submit this to Sir William Stewart and we will be encouraging MPs to sign up to this appeal.

A DVD of the Westminster meeting will be available to purchase in a couple of weeks time.

A huge Thank you to Mike Bell, Andrew Mitchell MP and Dr Ian Gibson MP and staff for helping to organise the Westminster event, we are grateful to Andrew for opening up the meeting and to Dr Ian Gibson for chairing the meeting and a big thanks once again to Dr Carlo.

The RRT would like to thank all campaign groups as they helped to promote the meeting to MPs sadly, it appears that they did not listen or realise the importance. We would like to thank the media for showing an interest and for attending the meeting.

Visit to DUBLIN

Read the Irish Independent news report enclosed (see email below)

Dr Carlo was on RTE Prime Time (Irish) TV news, view this excellent report.

http://rte.ie/news/primetime/

Dr Carlo was also interviewed on the Irish radio along with UK celebrity Jasper Carrott; Dr Mike Repacholi, ex-leader for WHO EMF Project represented the mobile phone operators; I was shocked when Mike Repacholi said school children should be safe to use mobile phones, he continues to refuse to accept the overwhelming evidence. Dr Carlo and Japer Carrott both gave strong and excellent interviews.

Dr George Carlo and Dr Gerd Oberfeld from Salzburg both gave excellent presentations to the Irish Doctors on Friday. The Irish Doctors invited us to join forces with them. We should encourage all UK doctors to accept this invitation. http://www.ideaireland.org/emririshresearch.htm

Jersey Inquiry into Phone masts and health

Dr Mike Repacholi recently gave evidence to the scrutiny committee in Jersey as they are considering allowing more phone masts on the Island; Dr John Stather and Dr James Rubin have also given evidence. Barrie Trower, represented our point of view and thankfully Dr Carlo has agreed to visit Jersey today in order to give them his opinion.

The UK is now more aware to the dangers associated with EMFs and ill health. Our Irish friends said they are walking taller today after Dr George Carlo and Dr Gerd Oberfeld's visit to Dublin, it was good to finally hear the truth!

"MOBILES 'PUT KIDS AT RISK OF AUTISM AND BRAIN TUMOURS'" [by] Breda Heffernan

Parents who give their children mobile phones are 'tempting fate' and exposing them to a raft of potential health problems from brain tumors to autism, an international expert has warned. American researcher Dr George Carlo told a conference in Dublin yesterday that he has conducted research which proves that radio waves emitted by mobile phones are causing cellular damage to users. And the scientist says a new study he has conducted, to be published next month, shows a link between electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones and masts and autism. He called on parents not to give children under the age of 12 mobile phones as their DNA and cell membranes are especially vulnerable. Dr Carlo, chairman of the non-profit Science and Public Policy Institute in Washington, was given more than 20m [euro] by the American mobile phone industry in 1993 to investigate possible health risks. After six years of research, he and 200 other scientists from around the globe concluded that manufacturers need to warn the public about the dangers posed by mobiles. Speaking at the Irish Doctors' Environmental Association meeting yesterday, Dr Carlo said his online database set up in 2002 to record incidents from people who believe they have suffered adverse health effects received more than 1 million hits in its first six months and over 30,000 complaints were logged.

HEADACHES In early cases, people were linking their symptoms, which ranged from headaches to sleeplessness, to holding the phone up against their head. However, in the past two years, the vast majority of complaints (up to 90%) have come from people who believe their ailments are due to living next to mobile phone masts.

There are now 2.4 billion people around the world using mobile phones with this figure set to rise. "The big problem is that the wireless infrastructure we have is leading us to a point of no return. As more people use cell phones and Wi-Fi and as we have absolutely stupid experiments of putting Wi-Fi in schools, background radiation is increasing," warned Dr Carlo. He said that rather than relying on masts and antennas, people should put pressure on Government and industry to eliminate health risks by replacing masts with fibre optic cables. He urged people to perform a simple experiment to see first-hand the dangers of mobile phone radiation. When the mobile has only one bar of signal strength, locate the nearest mast and then line up a number of your friends between the phone and the mast. "The bars will go up and up that is because we are great conductors for radiowaves," said Dr Carlo.

LOSS

The conference also heard from severeal dozen members of the public who claim to have suffered hearing loss, irregular hearbeats and sleeplessness from mobile phone msts near their homes. John Cummins, from Cahir, Co Tipperary, said he and his wife Bridget had both suffered hearing loss while their daughter Rebekah suffered a brain seizure at the age of 12. Doctors could not explain their health complaints. "At night we get a humming effect in our eardrums but when we're away from home we don't get it. "In three streets around the mast over 20 people have had cancer in the last four or five years and there have been two cases of MS and Parkinson's."

Interview with Challis and Dr Carlo

Radio 4 "You and Yours" aired a pre-recorded interview with Dr George Carlo and Professor Lawrie Challis which was done after the Westminster meeting last week.

It included Michael Bevington, the teacher who was sick from wifi in his school. The presenter was focussing on wifi.

Prof Challis was saying there is no (or not much) peer reviewed and published research!! Dr Carlo was focussing upon the need for clinical intervention to treat the sick.

You can listen again until next week. The programme went out today, Monday 26th February.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/youandyours/ - listen live.

Could everyone please e-mail in with your thoughts and experiences. Any details of peer reviewed research would be useful to counteract Prof Challis' assertions.

The more e-mails they get the more likely they are to do another programme on the issue. The press really do like these letters. Some of them are beginning to wake up at last.

youandyours@bbc.co.uk


Thanks



The interview is at 8 minutes into the program. Fast forward in 1 min intervals on the BBC radio player that comes up on the web page till you get to it.

Dr Carlo says that the radiation causes hardening of the cell membrane. This is turn means that nutrients can't get in and toxins can't get out. In effect it traps heavy metals including mercury and other toxins inside. Thus it leads to an increase in autism.

He is working with a clinic to remove heavy metals from autistic children in EMR free environmments. They are having good results but still need to work on building up the body's defences.

Calcium ion efflux

The subject of the paper presented at the workshop by Dr Carl Blackman was calcium ion efflux - calcium ions flowing out of cells when exposed to pulsed and modulated EMR. This was first identified in about 1974 by American researchers, Susan Bawin and Ross Adey. Under some conditions the RF induces a flow of calcium ions into the cell.

Dr Blackman has conducted far more experiments in his laboratory on this influx/efflux than anyone else. They have shown that calcium ion alteration occurs at particular carrier frequencies, particular signal strengths, particular modulation frequencies and in particular temperature ranges, but not in others which lie between them.

After summarising these hundreds of experiments Carl Blackman stated that EMR must be treated as chemicals (plural) because we have made the mistake of treating it as a single chemical looking for single effects across the whole spectrum, when it is clear that the effects are very significant and occur at particular combinations of variables, but do not occur at a nearby different combination.

He finished by stating that it is very well established that there is a biological effect called calcium ion efflux and influx that can be caused by EMR at levels that are not involving heating but involving a frequency which has nothing to do with the energy levels. This is therefore a true biological effect, not a consequence of heat but produced by particular combinations of EMR and thus is a separate biological change.

Dr Repacholi accepted that this is a biological effect at low level exposure, but claimed that there was not a health effect. Dr Blackman's response was that such a statement meant that Dr Repacholi was re-writing history. The history of the research is that it began because of the concern that workers working with microwaves had a changed response time and changed behaviour which was identified with an altered EEG (brain scan).

Today's (Sat., 24 February, 2007) IRISH INDEPENDENT has given a full page report on Dr. George Carlos's talk on the dangers of non-ionizing radiation, especially radiative emissions from cellphones and masts, at the I.D.E.A.'s (Irish Doctors Environmental Association) AGM in Dublin yesterday afternoon. Dr. Gerd Oberfield also spoke and gave a superbly clear and sombering presentation of the health dangers from these sources. A generous number of us EHS sufferers living in Ireland also attended. You will probably be send more complete reports for posting later but readers in the meantime might like to read what the IRISH INDEPENDENT has to say.

Today's THE IRISH TIMES also included a report but it was far shorter and more bland (played down the ill-health effects they mentioned) than THE IRISH INDEPENDENT.)

Chemicals and EMF

Hi Imelda,

Here's an abstract I found just now that shows that there is an interacting between chemicals and EMF. That's what I have always insisted on. It's my own experience that EMF do more damage when there are chemicals in the environment. When I'm near a mobile phone mast, I often don't "feel" much but as soon as I'm in a house in the vicinity where people have used chemicals like solvents, fungicides or insecticides I notice an extreme effect on my memory or concentration.

Interactive effect of chemical substances and occupational electromagnetic field exposure on the risk of gliomas and meningiomas in Swedish men.

The objective of our study was to investigate the possible interactive effect of occupational exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELFMF) and to known or suspected carcinogenic chemicals on the incidence of the two main histological types of brain cancer, gliomas and meningiomas, in a cohort of male Swedish workers. The historical cohort of all Swedish men gainfully employed in 1970 were followed 19 years (1971-1989). Exposure to ELFMF and to nine chemicals were assessed using two Swedish job exposure matrices based on occupational codes and industrial activity. Relative risks adjusted for age, period, geographical area, and town size were computed using log-linear Poisson models. The main finding was the absence of ELFMF effect on glioma risk in the absence of a simultaneous exposure to chemical products. The effect of petroleum products was independent of the intensity of ELFMF exposure whereas solvents, lead, and pesticides/herbicides were only associated with glioma in workers also exposed to moderate or high levels of ELFMF. On the other hand, whereas ELFMF seemed to enhance the effect of specific chemicals in the causation of gliomas, we did not find a relationship between ELFMF exposure and meningiomas. The potential for ELFMF to act as an effect modifier of the association of chemical agents and glioma is an interesting new finding. It would be worthwhile to evaluate this hypothesis for other tumors. Also, it is necessary to confirm these results in epidemiological studies with individual exposure assessments, and in experimental studies that may elucidate whether there is a true causal mechanism for the results we observed.

George Carlo Interview in London, 22 February 2007

Way to go, George Carlo!

"We understand that these information-carrying radio waves trigger protein membrane responses at the cell membrane level leading to disruption of intercellular communication and build up of free radicals inside the cell [emphasis mine]. This mechanism understanding is very important because it now explains the wide diversity of symptoms that we are seeing in patients who are reporting electrohypersensitivity and also other conditions such as headaches and unexplained anxiety that henceforth from this point forward now we'll know will be associated with these information-carrying radio waves."

Dr Carlo's Presentation

From David and Vivienne Baron

How we saw it.

The Attlee Suite (the largest conference room in Portcullis House) was pretty well full by 3.00 pm, giving an audience of some 150 souls. As has already been reported, only 3-4 MPs bothered to grace us with their presence - a very poor show. Apart from RRT, HESE, Mast Sanity and other like groups and individuals (Barrie Trower included), notable attendees comprised Prof Lawrie Challis, Head of the MTHR, representatives from the HPA, and Mike Dolan of the MOA accompanied by operator representatives (John Collins of O2 amongst them,for example). The media appeared well-represented with 4 video cameras constantly recording and an undefined number of the press seated within the audience.

Dr Carlo gave a very impressive presentation (30 minutes without pause and without a note in sight). He set the scene by expressing his regret that mobile phone use had been introduced without any safety research or considerations. Next, he highlighted his $29M research programme on behalf of the cell phone industry which began in 1993 and ended when the results proved to be at variance with those the industry had predicted. He moved on to fhis work since 2001 which demonstrated EMR breaching the blood/brain barrier and interfering with the efficacy of cells. (As a layman, I bow out at this point.)

He then turned to electro-hypersensitivity which thereafter remained his focus. Whilst he respected the 'research studies' being undertaken in the UK into radiation and any impact it might have on health), he was highly critical of the absence of a clinical intervention research programme involving the medical profession. People were suffering from ill-effect, the symptoms often extreme, with government, scientists and GPs turning a blind eye. He raised the issue of Wifi and was at pains to express in particular his disgust that children should be of, what he called, a 'mass experiment' (use of such technology in schools).

Many people wanted to asked questions during the half-hour allocated. I found this period a disappointment for two reasons. First, the chairman, Dr Ian Gibson MP, resorted to taking several questions and only then inviting Dr Carlo to respond which is not, in my book at least, the appropriate way to conduct a question and answer period (and I have chaired many). This practice was unfair to Carlo and gave him an extremely difficult task; not surprisingly, it resulted in several individuals being denied any answer at all to their questions. Second, some members of the audience took to either 'making a speech' (which regrettably absorbed valuable time) or focused their questions on causal research studies (not Carlo's theme) rather than clinical intervention.

Against the above, I believe that this was a valuable and successful exercise and the RRT is to be congatulated on sponsoring the event. It was marred principally by the lack of MP interest - particularly disappointing given the time and effort several 'Masts' subscribers put in e-mailing Honorable Members and encouraging them to attend. Much now depends upon how the media reports the occasion!

David

Yes, I agree with D. The cellular phones were not tested for safety before being released on the public!! In witholding information from the public, you can be sued! $1,250,000 has gone to plaintiffs (from insurance) in the States. In the USA and in UK, cell phones and wireless telecommunications are NOT registered for safety. There are three distinct effect windows. ELF window where the magnetic part is dominant.

Public Health l. Limit exposure
2. Minimise effects
3. Repair damage As 2.2 billion people now use cell phones, we have to have an alternative structure to wireless - increase fibre optic and decrease wireless. Primary prevention technology then can be applied. Dr. Carlo said that post market registry is essential. Again, he insisted that clinical intervention programme is needed. What was very interesting is his approach to an alternative way of communicating - a fibre option around your property. (This was met with gasps of approval except from one s...t, (probably Collins in the back row - where else?) who said "What about the laws of trespass. It couldn't work!" (Well, we could all tell them a thing or two about trespass - trespass on our welfare, our schools, our health, the devaluation of property, don't get me wound up!) Anyway, there are 7 different class actions and law suits in the US at present. Why? Because Industry KNEW about the dangers and LIED about them. (Someone take that one further - please) A woman named Sheila (no, not Australian, she is American) said that Dr. Carlo had not had published papers and others had, and I was informed later that she worked for the telecoms Industry. Challis was given a platform to put his views forward, and this was so unfair as this was supposed to be Dr. Carlo's presentation. In front of Jasmin and I, Andrew Miller (MP) made it clear that he was on the side of the Industry. Behind us the science reporter from the Telegraph held up Rubin's paper. James Rubin did research at the Mobile Phones Research Unit, New Medical School Building, London - who is (I think) a pyschoanalyst or something along those lines, but he obviously had impressed the Telegraph journalist, who I cornered later and said to him "Who do you think funds Rubin's research?" But from the look the Telegraph guy gave me, Rubins is either his brother in law, or one of his best friends. After all the hard work from Gary, Angie, and others, the lack of interest from the MPs was shameful. Thanks to Eileen for all the effort she had put into this. From my point of view, it was nice to see old friends and to meet new ones, and to put faces to names. Well done, to those who put questions forward, and I cried along with Syvia whose little girl had developed such a terrible rash and was in so much pain because of EMFs. May we all go forward........

Kind regards,
Vivienne



Dear Vivienne and David,

Many thanks for your notes on Thursday's talk. Below you find mine, which will hopefully complete the picture for all those who could not attend, whilst we wait for a complete transcription.

Summary of Dr George Carlo’s talk on Thursday 22nd February 2007 at Westminster

1. History of the WTR Programme and the Foundation of the Safe Wireless Initiative

Established in 1993 after congressional hearings following a lawsuit in which the husband of a woman who had died of cancer sued because he was convinced her cancer was attributable to cell phones. Cell phones had not been tested for health effects before being introduced to the market and the cell phone industry was not regulated, due to the prevailing thermal view and based on research about microwave ovens. Congress decided that proper cell phone research was needed. A deal was struck between the FDA and the wireless industry, according to which the industry would fund an extensive research programme with $28.5 million (Wireless Technology Research programme – WTR) in exchange for the industry to remain unregulated.

The WTR programme lasted six years and was controlled by a peer review board from Harvard University.

Dr Carlo mentioned the following points amongst the findings:

- Near field radiation causes a leakage in the blood brain barrier

- Genotoxic effects were found at non thermal levels of exposure

- A doubling of the risk of neuroepithelial tumours was found

When presented with the research findings, the FDA claimed the evidence was not strong enough to justify action.

I did not get the details about the lawsuit (was it against Industry who had used Dr Carlo as an expert witness or was it against Dr Carlo himself?) I understood that there was an out of court settlement in which two individuals were paid half a million dollar each and the remaining $250000 left over from the WTR budget were used to found the Safe Wireless Initiative, which is one project within the wider framework of the Science and Public Policy Institute founded by Dr. Carlo in 1994 to advancing scientific and policy debate in the public health arena.

The SWI was created to establish a post market surveillance registry to develop practical solutions and save lives.

2. Scientific background:

Dr Carlo described the three effect windows of the electromagnetic spectrum:

- Lower part of the spectrum: ELFs - the mechanism of harm is a direct magnetic effect. There is believed to be a threshold below which there is no ill effect suffered.

- Higher part port oft spectrum: ionising radiation – the mechanism of harm is a breakage of chemical bonds due to the high energy carried by the wave. There is also believed to be a threshold below which there is no harm (since we are all naturally exposed to cosmic radiation of this type and have evolved to withstand it).

- The window in between the above: radiofrequency radiation:

Dr Carlo claims that a simple unmodulated wave in this part of the spectrum is not able to cause harm since it’s not recognised by biological tissue. Only when modulated to carry information, these waves are recognised.

He explained the mechanism as follows:

Information carrying RF waves trigger the protein vibrational receptors on the cell membrane. These receptors recognise the information as an enemy of the cell (foreign invader) which leads to a series of biochemical reactions within 30 seconds of the trigger:

Cell membranes become less permeable. This leads to a loss of communication between cells.

Nutrients cannot get in, waste cannot get out. Free radical levels within the cell rise.

Specific types of damage occur inside the cell. The increased free-radical concentration leads to both disruption of DNA repair (micronuclei) and mitochondrial dysfunction, leading in turn to complete malfunctioning of the cell. Thus, next time such a compromised cell undergoes cell division (mitosis), the compromised DNA is replicated. The new cells will always react as if under stress even if the original stressor is no longer present. This could be one basis for the triggering of electrohypersensitivity.

When cells undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death), which is nature’s way to eliminate damaged cells, the micronuclei formed from the disrupted DNA repair are released into nutrient rich interstitial (intracellular) fluid and they are free to clone and proliferate -- that is the most likely cancer mechanism.

Specific damage occurs to proteins on the cell membrane -- the effect is that intercellular communication is compromised. Cells can't talk to each other and that damages tissue, organ and organism function. Overall, almost all of the acute and chronic symptoms seen in electrosensitive patients can be explained in some part by disrupted intercellular communication.

These mechanisms explain the wide scope of problems we observe following EMR exposure -- from learning and sleep disorders to birth defects and cancer. The interventive effect occurs at the cellular level, but it is manifested at the tissue, organ and organism levels

There is no threshold below which these effects do not occur.

3. Solutions offered by the Safe Wireless Initiative:

Based on the above information, the SWI is proposing the following interventions, following the

Public Health Paradigm:

* Primary intervention: Eliminate exposure, e.g. by shielding, avoiding exposure where possible and by using technologies that act to prevent the cell membrane protective response from being inappropriately triggered. These act on the "cause" of the problems and include: headsets, active noise field technology and passive noise field technologies.

* Secondary intervention: support the exposed biological system, e.g. by using technologies are those that act to restore intercellular communication and thus can ameliorate the "effects" of the exposure to EMR. These are most effective in conjunction with primary interventions and include: subtle energy technologies, diodes, and some pendants.

* Tertiary intervention: reverse ill effects, e.g. by using technologies that act to rehabilitate and correct cell damage. These work only in conjunction with primary and secondary intervention technologies and include: nutritionals, anti-oxidants and repair supplements

The SWI have established a registry with tens of thousands of cases with clinical data. They also have established a programme to communicate the knowledge gained from their clinical data database to the medical profession. (Andrea’s note: if you want to know more, look up the CERSA program on this link http://www.safewireless.org/Default.aspx?tabid=209 )

SWI’s mission is not to engage in scientific debate, but rather to offer practical solutions now.

Dr Carlo stressed that it would be an important part of the solution to the problem to revert to using fibre optic spines. This could reduce exposure by 90%. He also condemned wifi in schools.

4. Autism Link:

Dr Carlo announced that in 45 days, he would be publishing a study on the link between autism, mercury poisoning and EMFs.

He mentioned his research with autistic children whose condition improved considerably when living in an EMF free environment whilst having the mercury cleared out by chelation.

5. Conclusions for the UK

Dr Carlo identified a lack of and urgent need for a postmarket surveillance system to be established to collect clinical data. Primary care givers need to be alerted to the situation and trained to recognise and treat the symptoms.



Dr. Carlo's presentation

http://www.buergerwelle.de/pdf/dr._george_carlo_notes_on_westminster_address_1.doc

Dr. Carlo made it very clear that we should be changing to fibre optice, as they communicare just as efficiently as the present set up without damaging our health and the environmnent.

He also ended my problem of, 'How can EMR cause so many different health problems?" Of course! If it damages our cells, it's bound to affect everything! The whole system would be compromised. Roll on Fibre optics.

Kind regards,
