The Dangers of RF Heat Sealers

As with any system that generates high levels of electromagnetic energy, there are potential safety problems associated with their operation

Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy

Recently, Dr. OZ changed the face of healthcare overnight in the US and he asked his audience for help. He introduced a new healing device that was handed down from the space program that uses a therapy called Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy to cure aches and pains. This video shows that low level non-thermal electromagnetic fields do have an effect on the human body, and at the right frequency and intensity have a very beneficial effect.

Also on the Dr. OZ website, In the article that accompanies the video, his featured guest explains that electromagnetic fields from cell phones, cell masts, Wi Fi, cordless phones and smart meters are unhealthy for the human body.

Buildings for EHS

I hereby would like to announce that my PhD student, Eva-Rut Lindberg, very successfully defended her 350-page thesis, "Building Design for Persons with the Functional Impairment Electrohypersensitivity: a Project in the Voltage Field between Belief and Knowledge", last Friday - she was unanimously approved!

During the defense, time was devoted to the general issue about health effects of electromagnetic fields, but of course, the focus was mostly on how building design can reduce or even eliminate the impairment electrohypersensitivity, as well as on various accessibility issues (including the perspective(s) of the Swedish authorities).

The idea to construct a house without electricity I heard for the first time from Mr. Lennart Sparell at the Cancer and Allergy Foundation (which this time also funded parts of Eva-Rut's thesis work). Then I did not realize that the same thoughts were developed at the Royal Institute of Technology, and that I would supervise a highly skilled and independent student towards this very important goal.

During the doctoral dissertation act, the immediate need of continued research was pointed out several times - we all must hope that 2012 will offer just it!

Thank you so much for your support!

(The thesis can be downloaded from: http://kth.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2:455407 )

With my very best regards

Yours sincerely

Updated study contains poor science and should be disregarded

The update of the Danish cohort study of mobile phone use and cancer risk has the serious flaws present in the original publication.1 2 The first flaw in the update is the correct identification of mobile phone subscribers between 1987 and 1995. This resulted in a participation rate of only 58% of identified early subscribers, with the remaining 42% placed in the "non-exposed" category (which, by the authors' own admission, could well be the heaviest user group in the dataset).

Even for the identified subscribers, no information was collected pertaining to actual mobile phone usage. "Number of subscription years" was used as a surrogate, which the IARC monograph panel said could result in "considerable exposure misclassification" earlier in 2011.3 The paper contains no data on mobile phone subscribers since 1995 and no information about actual exposure.

An even more damaging limitation is the exposure classification in the "non-subscriber" part of the cohort, which has been analysed as having no exposure to mobile phones. The proportion of the Danish population with a mobile phone subscription increased from 10% to 95% between 1995 and 2004 (from which the "non-exposed" group are drawn), many of whom will have used their phone for over 10 years. The size of this confounder makes meaningful comparisons in the data impossible.

Finally, the authors made no effort to control for any other forms of radio frequency exposure. Frei et al previously showed that only about 30% of adult microwave exposure currently comes from use of mobile phone handsets,4 with around 30% from cordless phones and 40% from far field sources. This could be highly relevant because Hardell et al have shown increases in brain tumours associated with use of cordless phones,5 which have been in widespread use since 1995.
