The Darwinian evolution occurred in the presence of natural electromagnetic fields. The Magnetoreception is one of the biological mechanisms enabling migratory birds and bees to go. No scientist can assert today that the coverage of our European territories by multiple artificial electromagnetic fields has not, will not, have major repercussions on the behaviour and the preservation of wildlife.

The effects of electromagnetic fields on our health are demonstrated by clinical observation, numerous toxicological and biological investigations and epidemiological studies. It exists in Europe a growing number of patients classified as electrohypersensitive who have become intolerant to electromagnetic fields.

Although the biological mechanisms of electrosensitivity are still misunderstood, it is legally recognized as a disability in Sweden.

We, doctors, acting under the Hippocratic oath, we, researchers, acting on behalf of scientific truth, all of us, doctors and researchers from different member states of the European Union, affirm ... that there is an increasing number of patients who intolerant to electromagnetic fields, this intolerance has created a serious injury in terms of health and work and family life, we can not exclude for them an evolution of a degenerative disease of the system nervous, and even some cancers and, therefore, that damage needs to be recognized and repaired by the welfare systems of different member states of the European community.

We warn the public power that... we can not exclude that after a period of exposure, this intolerance may also affect children and thus be causing a major health problem in the future in all countries using without restriction modern technology with electromagnetic fields.

in spite of insufficient scientific knowledge and even the existence of controversy on some points, the international scientific community is unanimous in recognizing the possibility of a public health risk
assumed serious, requiring urgent implementation of the precautionary principle.

To support some lobbies and sell off the existence of ill health and environmental problems on behalf of economic and financial interests in the short term could only be detrimental to our citizens.

I thank you, we thank you.

Déclaration du 23 mars 2009 : Champs électromagnétiques et santé

L'évolution darwinienne s'est faite en présence de champs électromagnétiques naturels. La magnétoréception est l'un des mécanismes biologiques permettant aux oiseaux migrateurs et aux abeilles de se diriger. Nul scientifique ne peut aujourd'hui affirmer que la couverture de nos territoires européens par de multiples champs électromagnétiques artificiels n'a pas, n'aura pas, de retentissements majeurs sur les comportements et la préservation de la faune.

Les effets des champs électromagnétiques sur notre santé sont démontrés par l'observation clinique, de très nombreuses investigations toxicologiques et biologiques et certaines études épidémiologiques. Il existe aujourd'hui en Europe un nombre croissant de malades qualifiés d'électrohypersensibles, devenus intolérants aux champs électromagnétiques.

Bien que les mécanismes biologiques de l'électrosensibilité soient encore incompris, celle ci est reconnue légalement comme un handicap en Suède.

Nous, médecins, agissant en vertu du serment d'Hippocrate, nous, chercheurs, agissant au nom de la vérité scientifique, nous tous, médecins ou chercheurs de différents états membres de l'Union européenne, affirmons en toute indépendance de jugement, qu'existe un nombre croissant de malades devenus intolérants aux champs électromagnétiques, que cette intolérance leur créé un préjudice grave au plan de leur santé et de leur vie professionnelle et familiale, qu'on ne peut exclure chez eux l'évolution vers une maladie dégénérative du système nerveux, voire certains cancers et par conséquent, que ce préjudice nécessite d'être reconnu et réparé par les systèmes de protection sociale des différents états membres de la communauté européenne.

Nous prévenons les pouvoirs publics qu'en l'état actuel de nos connaissances, on ne peut exclure qu'après une période d'exposition suffisante, cette intolérance puisse concerner aussi les enfants et donc être à l'origine d'un problème de santé publique majeur dans les années à venir dans tous les pays utilisant sans restriction les technologies modernes faisant appel aux champs électromagnétiques.

Malgré des connaissances scientifiques encore insuffisantes et même l'existence de controverses sur certains points, la communauté scientifique internationale est unanime pour reconnaître la
possibilité d'un risque de santé publique présumé grave, requérant d'urgence l'application du principe de précaution.

Faire le jeu de certains lobbies et brader l'existence même des problèmes de santé et d'environnement au nom d'intérêts économiques et financiers à court terme ne pourrait être que nuisible à l'ensemble de nos concitoyens.

Je vous remercie, nous vous remercions.

That which is looked upon by one generation as the apex of human knowledge is often considered an absurdity by the next, and that which is regarded as a superstition in one century may form the basis of
science for the following one. --Paracelsus

"Where do the wars and where do the conflicts among you come from?
Is it not from your passions that make war within your members?
You covet but do not possess.
You kill and envy but you cannot obtain; you fight and wage war.
You do not possess because you do not ask.
You ask but do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your
passions."
