The last few months of the life of Angelika S. / Do adverse health trends correlate with research into Electromagnetic Radiations / Fibre optics

Hi All
 
Being electro hyper-sensitive (EHS) can be painful, bad for health, employment, relationships and quality of life.  Being EHS and having multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS), makes living even harder.  The sad story below is from Germany, but here in Canada, in Toronto, we have a victim who is suffering on a similar scale (maybe worse) to Angelika.  If you feel that you can provide any help or support to 'Linda', please contact me and I will pass your information on.

Chemical sensitivity – MCS is recognized as a disease and as a physical disability in Germany. The disease is coded at ICD-10 with T78.4 as an organic disease. One might think that people with MCS get proper medical treatment, are treated with fairness like other disabled people, get special workplaces and receive help. Sadly all of this is still lacking in Germany. People with MCS are left without medical attention and accommodations. If their families are unable to take care of them they are lost. For the very sick this sad and unacceptable situation can end in disaster as in the following authentic case.

The last few months of the life of Angelika S.
 
Six months ago Angelika S. was still doing fairly well. She lived with her family in a suburb of a German town. She loved animals and had a small animal hostel. She also cared deeply about other people. 
 
I got to know her through my cousin who often visited her and mentioned four months ago that Angelika too had strange symptoms similar to my own. Suddenly, she didn't tolerate fabric softeners – the shower gel of her family, the deodorants and a lot more now made her sick. My cousin told her about me and so we got in touch, first writing letters. She was looking for informational material about chemical sensitivity and I was sending it to her. About the same time I heard that she couldn't tolerate the furniture and the flooring anymore and was sleeping on the kitchen floor on blankets. From now on everything went incredibly fast… 
 
Nearly every day my cousin called me to report new intolerances. Because of the heat in August, she could only sleep outside on the patio on a kind of futon mat made from compatible materials. Then even this wasn't possible anymore for her…
 
Calling an environmental doctor she was told, she would have to wait several weeks (vacation etc.). Then I could contact to her on the phone too. She was able to talk only five or seven minutes, because in addition now she had become electromagnetically sensitive. 
 
Then I gave her the advice to drive to a nature area in her neighbourhood. She did so with her husband each morning between 7 and 8 o'clock. There she did much better. But it speeded up:  difficulty in breathing… heart palpitations …. decreased muscle tonus in the arms and legs …. pulmonary problems …. everything took a turn for the worse. 
 
Since she couldn't use the phone anymore, I talked to her husband instead. In September he brought her to an abandoned campsite of his club and they slept in the car…in small cars…she in her car and he in his car because his one was contaminated with chemicals from his work. During the daytime he had to drive 25 kilometres to his workplace and to leave her alone there. In the evening he was cooking the meals for her and brought them to her… again 25 kilometres … The nights in the car… bad for the joints. 
 
Then her husband called the environmental doctor again and got the advice to arrange a clean room for her in their house. He should tile the room and keep her in it. So he removed the floor, tiled the room and painted the walls with safe chalk paint. Angelika still was at the campsite, alone during the daytime and it started to get colder…Two air purifiers where bought from PureNature, oxygen for the ride to her home… and then the attempt to bring her back to the new safe room. During the whole time her husband had to take time off from work which got more and more difficult. They had to worry that he would lose his job too. 
 
When she was back at home, my cousin couldn't come for a visit anymore. Also no one from the family could come to see her. When her son came, she had to escape, and had no contact to her beloved grandchild. 
 
I have had Multiple Chemical Sensitivity for over ten years now, but I had the chance to grow into the situation and I know what isolation means. The soul suffers…tears come…sometimes depression…and when there is no or little hope and you do not really know what will happen to you…then everything is even worse. 
 
But Angelika was learning fast and tried to avoid everything which made her sick; she ate organic food and changed everything.  But it takes time until all smells are out of a general household. 
 
I supported her as much as I could by calming her down and providing her with information…Then the appointment with the environmental doctor came…He said that she has full blown Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and suggested a therapy only of B12 shots for six weeks daily with added B1 and B6. She started his therapy, but everything got worse. 
 
Angelika had reached the end stage of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity in only six months. 
When she still wasn't doing so badly  – that was in September this year – I had offered her a invitation to come to my place and try it here, but she wanted to try first the tiled room at home. 
 
Last Saturday her husband called me to tell me that they had to drive to the forest or to a graveyard each night.  Otherwise she wasn't able to breathe…The heating period made the air in the town intolerable for Angelika. Each night she suffered from heart palpitations, shortness of breath and many more symptoms.
 
I told them to try to come over to me and so they arrived at nine o'clock Saturday, October 25th.  
 
The last days of the life of Angelika S,
She arrived totally exhausted with a mask and heavy use of oxygen on the ride. We placed her on the porch. 
For me her clothes were totally contaminated from her environment. I had to keep distance. Then she wanted to change her clothes.  I offered her some of my clothes, but she couldn't tolerate them. I had used an unscented safe washing powder which I tolerate very well. 

To let her into the house we had to shower her in the evening. I found old jogging pants of my husband's and a cotton pullover; both had not been washed for a long time, and socks… 
 
But on what should she sleep? She couldn't tolerate wood anymore, no natural wood furniture. It didn't matter if it was old or not. She even couldn't tolerate the very old closet in the room we arranged for her. She wanted to sleep on the floor on linen which had not been washed for a long time and on a blanket which had been hanging in the attic for a long time too. 
 
The windows to the forest were open all night and all day… 
 
We live here in Germany in a wide forest area at Vogelsberg and so she was doing well with the clean air. However, last Monday it got damp and foggy and we had bad weather. 
 
Her hope vanished that she would slightly recover here, but she wanted to try.  She didn't want to go back… 
  
Either she lay or sat on the porch …. I cooked for her, gave her much water to drink …. tried everything possible to help her to restore her soul and mind …. told her about CSN and other sufferers who had recovered by avoiding substances and by isolating themselves. Each day we left for a walk in order to get some fresh air. So far she was still able to walk for an hour.  On Tuesday, though slowly, she was able to walk until a car passed by and left exhaust emissions, which affected her in spite of her mask.
 
Then she said she couldn't live a life as I do, without people around her and in isolation for such a long time and then it got worse and worse.  She had no hope that she could stay here any longer because she couldn't tolerate the damp air especially during the nights.  She refused to eat or drink anymore.  She was in despair and her mucous membranes were – as in her home – bright red and swollen. 
 
She had to leave, but where to go????
 
We were considering many possibilities: Switzerland, North Sea…back to the campsite because there is not that much forest in its neighbourhood…setting up an aluminium shed…but how to heat it…and so forth…. 
 
On Wednesday at 3 o'clock p.m. the son of my cousin came with a big car which was safer than her car. Her husband and we said goodbye… 
 
They didn't know where to go…they didn't know…what to do….so they first drove back to her tiled room and then to the close-by nature site. 
 
She survived the ride at five degrees Celsius inside the car and then I heard nothing from them anymore. 
 
On Thursday afternoon when her husband had to go to work and go shopping for food, she put an end to her life!  I did not learn of it until Friday evening because it was the wish of her husband. 
 
We are in deep grief about this lovely person…a human…who still could be living if there was accommodation for cases like hers in Germany. If there was just one clinic to go to which had clean rooms as at the Environmental Health Center in Dallas / USA. If we just had doctors who could diagnose chemical sensitivity in time.  If we just had support for the relatives who don't know why all this happens.
 
This ignorance and intolerance about environmental diseases MUST stop. These are diseases that have been described by scientists like Prof. Martin Pall and others.  It's well known what these diseases DO exist. 
 
I have seen two suicides since last July.
 
  • Two precious humans who didn't know what to do because of their boundless despair.
  • Two humans who felt as a burden to their families. 
  • Two humans who had worked hard all their lives.  
 
We lament Angelika S. and we are shocked because of the lack of help for people with severe Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.  
 
May the God of solace comfort the suffering of the relatives and may they find hope that their suffering is not forever….
That it will not be like this forever…
That the suffering stops some day…
And that some day there will be a recovery of all things lost…

Do adverse health trends correlate with research into Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR)?

An overview of adverse public health trends from 1996 – 2009

Sarah Benson - 10/08/09      http://www.nzine.co.nz/features/electromagnetic_radiation.html


On the eighth of May 1997, in the first few months of its publication NZine featured an article in which I interviewed Dr Neil Cherry about his research into the health effects of electromagnetic radiation. Such is the worldwide interest in this topic that the article entitled The Electromagnetic Radiation Health Threat - Part I has continued to be one of the most widely read NZine articles with no loss of interest in the topic throughout the last twelve years. Fortunately I was able to interview Dr Cherry for a series of further articles in the years before his death in 2003.

Now NZine is pleased to publish a further series of articles on the topic of the Electromagnetic Radiation Health Threat with the script of Do adverse health trends correlate with the research into Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR)?, a paper presenting An overview of adverse public health trends from 1996 – 2009 by public health advocate Sarah Benson.

Dorothy Hunt

NZine Editor

Do these trends correlate with the research into Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) that indicates a diverse range of adverse public health outcomes as a result of exposure?

Sarah Benson

Introduction

Whilst increases in certain illnesses have been steady for about four decades – most figures are indicating that for the last 15 years we have seen, worldwide, a marked increase in cancers, cardiac illness, obesity, diabetes, asthma, allergies in children, short term memory problems and sleeplessness, to name but a few. The medical fraternity is particularly concerned by the growing incidence of un-explained cancers, with one example being the findings of two Australian neurosurgeons, who in 2009 have admitted that there is epidemic of brain tumours - an epidemic that includes children.

There are many potential causes of illness – genetic and hereditary factors, as well as environmental pollutants such as chemicals. Nevertheless the only completely new pollutant in the past 10 – 15 years that coincides with the sudden spike in adverse health trends is electromagnetic radiation (EMR).

This explosion of microwave and radiofrequency radiation emitted by communications infrastructure – including computers - is relatively new. With millions of antennas and satellites now irradiating the global population 24/7 for the past 15 years, these are clearly implicated as the major culprit, being the only new pollutant affecting populations globally. All other causes, such as chemical and genetic factors are dwarfed by comparison.

Most people don't think about the fact that this radiation is being sent all around the planet - somehow magically finding its way to our phones, TVs and radios - without ever touching us. But the human body has its own sensitive electrical system – one that is easily affected by the EMR and microwaves which penetrate our bodies daily. The human body, says Dr. G. J. Hyland of the University of Warwick, UK, is "an electrochemical instrument of exquisite sensitivity," noting that, like a radio, it can be interfered with by incoming radiation.

The main purpose of this paper is to delineate the links between science and reality, cause and effect, the abstract and the actual. All effects must have a cause – this is a fundamental tenet of the physical universe. To deny this is to be unscientific and lacking the faculty of inquiry that underpins all scientific and intelligent discourse. The secondary purpose is to honour and exonerate the late Neil Cherry, much of whose work is quoted here.

New Zealand physicist Dr Neil Cherry began his work as an electromagnetic radiation (EMR) meta-analyst when he was asked by a residential group contesting the siting of a mobile phone tower if he would be their expert witness. He consequently studied over 600 researchers worldwide, and was shocked to discover that EMR caused DNA breakages, chromosome aberrations, increased oncogene activity in cells, altered brain activity, altered blood pressure and increased brain cancer at very low levels – much lower than those allowed by the Australian standard. He also found that EMR impacts on the pineal gland, thus resulting in a reduction of melatonin - a vital regulator of many of the body's biochemical and hormonal systems and functions and a major scavenger of damaging free radicals.i

Dr Cherry went on to make numerous media appearances, travelling to many countries around the world, speaking to scientists, individuals and communities about the potential dangers to health from EMR; the only scientist to have done this so comprehensively and consistently. He also took time discuss his findings with industry and government authorities, tirelessly explaining that biological effects were being found both in the laboratory and in populations that were well below the government's exposure standard. He did this until he died in 2003.

In 1997 Dr Cherry was invited to address the Australian Senate. Immediately after this address, the then telecommunications Minister, Richard Alston, who had attended, returned to the Senate and accused Dr Cherry of being a snake oil merchant and a charlatan.

However, since that day it has become evident that everything that Cherry predicted has eventuated. His findings have been replicated many times since, and have proved to be prophetic: cancer, leukaemia, cardiac disease, diabetes, sleep disturbances, dementia, weight gain or loss, weakened immune system, asthma, allergies, arthritis, nausea, memory and concentration problems, neurological conditions, and depression – all on a sharp rise. The conditions and diseases he warned of are either endemic or increasing; but unfortunately health authorities – especially in Australia – appear not to be making the connection between these and EMR.

Dr Cherry also found that microwaves can render the blood brain barrier permeable, thus allowing damaging chemicals, viruses and bacteria into the brain which can cause illnesses such as dementia and brain tumours.

Over 40 studies [show] that cell phone frequencies [mirror] the biological and epidemiological studies for EMR over the past four decades. This includes…increased brain cancer. I predict a significant increase in brain tumours in younger groups than normal from the use of mobiles. ii

Dr Neil Cherry

Recently, Dr Cherry's work has been confirmed by a group of 14 scientists and public health and policy experts who in August 2007 published a 650 page assessment and review of the science and public health implications of exposure to EMR called The BioInitiative Report.iii This highly comprehensive report has been widely distributed and accepted as being a true and accurate picture of the current state of the science on EMR and health. They found that:

"Prolonged exposure to radiofrequency and microwave radiation from cell phones, cordless phones, cell towers, WI-FI and other wireless technologies has been linked to interference with short-term memory and concentration, sleep disruption, headache and dizziness, fatigue, immune disruption, skin rashes and changes in cardiac function." However, "These effects can happen with even very small levels of exposure if they occur on a daily basis. Cell phone use is likely to be more harmful in children whose brain and nervous system development can last into late adolescence," says Cindy Sage of Sage Associates, "The public health implications of billions of people who are exposed makes this a matter of critical concern to policy-makers around the world." iv

They found that the existing public safety limits were inadequate for both Electromagnetic Fields and radiofrequency radiation.

In 2001 an Australian Senate Committee handed down a report that had heard from a wide variety of scientists – many of whom voiced their concern for public health at the results of the research being conducted. During the Senate hearings Dr Cherry said:

"I was very surprised there is so much published evidence in reputable, peer review journals that has not been sighted, summarised or integrated. The more I received the more solid the evidence seemed to be and the more consistent it seemed to be. And so when I heard people saying that the evidence was weak and inconsistent, I decided I should debate this with people and go to conferences and talk to them about it. ... This culminated last year at the conference at the European Parliament where I was asked to look particularly at low level effects and epidemiological studies with those response relationships of low level effects. ... Over 20 studies show that radiofrequency microwave radiation damages the genes, damages the chromosomes, damages the DNA, and therefore indicates genotoxicity. I am also aware that many studies only use small samples – they are epidemiological studies or laboratory samples. They find elevated levels but they are not specifically significant and they are often described as showing no effects. But I have supplied with my evidence a summary of brain tumour studies, and I have characterised them as studies showing elevated effects, studies showing significantly elevated effects and studies showing dose response effects. And that is a classical way, I believe, at looking at the evidence trail and asking: was it elevated, was it significantly elevated and have we found dose response elevation?"v

As far back as 1994 Australia's CSIRO did a 150 page literature review on the status of health effects from EMR.vi The report's author, Dr Stan Barnett, said: "whilst researching the scientific database in preparation for this report it has become evident that subtle changes in cell structure and biochemistry have been frequently reported at exposure levels where gross thermal change could not be attributed as a cause."

The fact that some studies have shown no effects is partly due to the fact that many are undertaken or funded by those with vested interests, and partly due to the nature of what is under investigation; electricity is a highly volatile element that is inaccessible to the senses and thus not like any other element that must be scientifically examined.

Health trends

A group of scientists and doctors in Germany presented evidence at a conference in 2002 showing "a dramatic rise in severe and chronic diseases among our patients exposed to radiofrequency and microwave radiation". These included extreme fluctuations in blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes in increasingly younger people, degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's and epilepsy, leukaemia and brain tumours. They also found a rise in headaches, sleeplessness, tinnitus and other ailments that were able to be correlated with the onset of exposure to communications microwaves (see Appendix C).

In 2007 The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare announced that the five leading causes of non-fatal illness in Australia were diabetes, ischemic heart disease, dementia, asthma, anxiety and depression. As 90 per cent of diabetes cases are related to weight gain this could be included as a sixth.

I have no doubt in my mind that, at the present time, the greatest polluting element in the earth's environment is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields.

Dr Robert O. Becker, Nobel Prize winner, 2000vii

Since then other scientists have conducted further studies showing similar results. One, published in August 2007, indicates that mobile phone radiation causes cancer in miceviii, and yet another in the same year, with scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel finding that after only five minutes of exposure to radiation one tenth of the power of a mobile phone, rat and human cell chemicals underwent changes. This study is unique in that it demonstrates for the first time a "detailed molecular mechanism by which electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones induces activation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) cascade and thereby induces transcription and other cellular processes."ix

In 2005 researchers in China found that relatively low-level RF radiation can lead to DNA breaksx, and in 2004 the REFLEX project, which summarised the work of 12 research groups in seven European countries, reported that RF radiation could increase the number of DNA breaks in exposed cells, as well as activate a stress response – the production of heat-shock proteins. The manager of the project, Franz Adlkofer, said: "…available scientific evidence of such critical events demonstrates the need for intensifying research – precautionary measures seem to be warranted."xi There are many such studies.

Dr Peter French, of St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, was able to replicate earlier findings, indicating that mobile phone radiation switched on heat shock proteins:

In plain English, the point is that it has been demonstrated by several researchers that increasing the amount of heat shock proteins in cells results in the increased potential for developing tumours, increased stimulation of metastasis or spread of cancers, the direct development of cancer, de novo, and the decreased effectiveness of anti-cancer drugs.

Dr Peter French, Principal Scientific Officer, Centre for Immunology, St Vincent's Hospital, Sydneyxii

In the USA Marshall and Wetherallxiii found an exponential increase of autism, ADHD, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Alzheimer's since 1984 - the year the first commercial cell phone networks started to spread across the USA. These rates increased even further with the switchover from analog (1G) to digital (2G) in the early 1990s.

In February 2007 Swedish scientists announced in the European Journal of Cancer Prevention that they had observed a connection between the health of the population and population density, suggesting that the two factors having the strongest correlation with decreased health quality were the estimated average power output from mobile phones…and the reported coverage from the global system for mobile communication base stations in each country.xiv

This was confirmed by the German company ECOLOG's report which was commissioned by telecommunications company T-Mobil in 2000. The results of this research - leaked to British group HESE in 2006 - found that cancer, DNA damage, chromosome aberrations, changes to enzymes, changes in the brain, interruption of cell cycle and cellular communication, debilitation of the immune system and changes to the central nervous system were caused by exposure to EMR.

Around a dozen studies in 2006 and 2007 demonstrated similar results, including one that found the signal from a mobile phone affecting genes and neurons in both 'on' and 'off' modes,xv while another found "some evidence of nervous system structural damage after the EMR exposure."xvi

Is it really wise and safe to subject ourselves to whole-body irradiation, all around the clock and wherever we are, with the same mobile radiation which laboratory studies have shown to cause serious injuries and effects?

Olle Johansson, Ph.D. Neuroscientist, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Swedenxvii

In April 2009 the European Parliament announced that mobile phone antennas, masts and other EMR emitting devices should be set within a specific distance from schools and health institutions. Based on a report adopted by the European Parliament, the recommendations were that whilst there were many benefits of wireless technology there were "Continuing uncertainties about possible health risks."

I believe that in Australia it is time that the precautionary principle was implemented. "The precautionary principle is a moral and political principle which states that if an action or policy might cause severe or irreversible harm to the public, in the absence of a scientific consensus that harm would not ensue, the burden of proof falls on those who would advocate taking the action." (See appendix D).

A scientific paradigm change is urgently needed. In his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), Thomas Kuhn discusses the nature of science, scientific research and methodology and paradigms, how conceptual changes come about, and what prevents them. In the introductionxviii he says:

"The most obvious examples of scientific revolutions are those famous episodes in scientific development that have often been labeled revolutions before….Copernicus, Newton, Lavoisier and Einstein. More clearly than most other episodes…these display what all scientific revolutions are about. Each of them necessitated the community's rejection of one time-honoured scientific theory in favour of another incompatible with it…each transformed the scientific imagination in ways that we shall ultimately need to describe as a transformation of the world within which the scientific work was done. Such changes, together with the controversies that almost always accompany them, are the defining characteristics of scientific revolutions."

However,
"The invention of other new theories regularly, and appropriately, evokes the same response from some of the specialists on whose area of special competence they impinge. For these men the new theory implies a change in the rules governing the prior practice of normal science. Inevitably, therefore, it reflects upon much scientific work they have already successfully completed. That is why a new theory, however specialist range of application, is seldom or never just an increment to what is already known. Its assimilation requires the reconstruction of prior theory…an intrinsically revolutionary process that is seldom completed by a single man and never overnight."

"Normal science, for example, often suppresses fundamental novelties because they are necessarily subversive of its basic commitments."

Freiburger Appeal

(Signed by 58 doctors and medical specialists in 2002 - see Appendix C)

"Out of great concern for the health of our fellow human beings do we - as established physicians of all fields, especially that of environmental medicine - turn to the medical establishment and those in public health and political domains, as well as to the public.

We have observed, in recent years, a dramatic rise in severe and chronic diseases among our patients, especially:

  • Learning, concentration, and behavioural disorders (e.g. attention deficit disorder, ADD)
  • Extreme fluctuations in blood pressure, ever harder to influence with medications
  • Heart rhythm disorders
  • Heart attacks and strokes among an increasingly younger population
  • Brain-degenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's) and epilepsy
  • Cancerous afflictions: leukaemia, brain tumours

Moreover, we have observed an ever-increasing occurrence of various disorders, often misdiagnosed in patients as psychosomatic:

  • Headaches, migraines
  • Chronic exhaustion
  • Inner agitation
  • Sleeplessness, daytime sleepiness
  • Tinnitus
  • Susceptibility to infection
  • Nervous and connective tissue pains, for which the usual causes do not explain even the most conspicuous symptoms.

Since the living environment and lifestyles of our patients are familiar to us, we can see, especially after carefully-directed inquiry, a clear temporal and spatial correlation between the appearance of disease and exposure to pulsed high-frequency microwave radiation."
