Is Your Cell Phone Killing You?
A new EMF documentary, "Is Your Cell Phone Killing You?", was recently released and shown on television in New Zealand.
It is an excellent documentary, the picture quality is very good and the story is full of important information that is very interesting.
It was great to see several people from New Zealand, who have been fighting EMF issues over the years and many international experts who are interviewed.

UK Powerline EMF Study
Following the Swiss national study significantly associating AD with living close (within 50 metres) [Huss. et all, 2008; Residence Near Power Lines and Mortality From Neurodegenerative Diseases: Longitudinal Study of the Swiss Population] we are looking to contact people in the UK who believe this may have been a problem for their relatives. Please email: alasdair@powerwatch.org.uk with any information and contact details. Many thanks.

Received Question Re Kindle: Kindle is only an issue as far as RF is concerned when it is downloading from the internet. If that functionality is turned off, the only remaining issue is the low frequency fields as you would have from any gadget like this. We do need to be asking questions like—does it make sense to keep an item like this—or PDA, that we also use for information storage—touching our body for long periods? Personally I would rather be touching the earth, where the earth’s electrons support the body physiologically, instead of for long periods being exposed to disruptive man-made frequencies. A small amount of exposure may be insignificant, but in today’s day and age when it is hard to avoid these kind of exposures, the total amount and chronic nature of these exposures is where we are getting into trouble. The Blackberry, when last I checked, had levels of magnetic fields that were above the level shown in research to cause miscarriage—and people lie around with items like this on their body or next to them on a bed. I don’t know how high the magnetic field from the Kindle gets, however this is something you could easily check with a gaussmeter (EmfSafetyStore.com). If you can, I recommend you curl up with a real book at home or in school, and keep the Kindle for exceptions perhaps when traveling!
