"These communication waves may have such a disastrous impact on a wide range of insects using olfactory and/or visual memory, i.e., on bees."

These two articles come from Teslabel. The first study was published in Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine in June 2012, the second is a July 2012 Press Release from Teslabel on similar studies done on ants and protozoa.

Tragedy as young rugby player dies while training

Matthew Dewhirst, from St Martins, was taken ill at Ellesmere College on Thursday and died a short while later.

Matthew, a pupil at the college, was a member of the North Midlands rugby squad and played at front row for the school rugby team as well as for Whitchurch and the county.

Part 1

Hi all, so where do I start?

Firstly by saying a Big Thanks to all those who've made empathic and compassionate, comments and very kind offers of assistance, whether you believe my illness is caused by electromagnetic radiation and fields or not. My heart goes out to all the fellow sufferers who have commented and my message to them is to stay strong and positive as the truth is getting out and will prevail! :) Big thanks also to all who are sharing their knowledge of the huge body of peer-reviewed science providing evidence of the potential biological harm from PULSED electromagnetic radiation and electromagnetic fields that are WELL within international guidelines…in some cases thousands of times lower than permitted, which are the kind of levels of pulsed microwaves that I now noticeably begin reacting to. Final greets go to the industry lobbyists whose arguments are growing so tiresomely thin, transparent (for those of us better informed) and repetitive, to whom I say "Blood on your hands! Shame on You!"

I must point out that there are omissions and errors in the article due to the low word count requested and time constraints which resulted in me not getting to read and approve the article before it was submitted by its author in a race to get the story in the Guardian before potential tabloid coverage (appearance of an article about me in the tabloids first would likely have prevented the Guardian from running the story, which I was very keen for them to do). It doesn't give a thorough description of my symptoms and omits a key one….chronic sleep disturbance…part of the cause of the debilitating Fatigue….levels of pulsed microwaves have to be Very low for me now relatively speaking, to be able to sleep at all, obtain quality of sleep and keep otherwise near constant and potentially completely debilitating headaches at bay …symptoms I believe that wi-fi routers, Cordless DECT phone base-stations and mobile phone masts are inflicting on huge numbers of people throughout the developed world without their knowledge of the cause. This helps clarify why I've had to take such extreme measures to avoid pulsed microwave radiation to be able to keep my health stable enough to function and keep working and supporting myself (I now work self-employed as a gardener). The article also didn't make clear my now intense sensitivity to mobile phone mast radiation, even at distances well over 1km, which makes finding any place to be able to live and function in the South of England a challenge.

The research references are somewhat out of date in that there was no mention of a double blind study conducted last year on a Doctor with self diagnosed EHS that confirmed the patient could identify when exposed to a 60Hz power frequency field; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/%20%20%20%2021793784
and there are papers that demonstrate distinct physiological changes in ElectroHyperSensitive persons….links to a related collection of papers can be found here http://es-uk.info/research.asp. More studies of course need to be done, particularly to demonstrate the ability to identify exposure to pulsed microwaves, but they need to be absolutely free of industry influence (resulting in funding difficulties) and far better designed than previous studies. I would be willing to offer myself for a truly unbiased and well designed study that takes into account and remedies floors in previous studies, but not for one whose intention is to obtain results that would re-enforce the far more convenient fallacy that us EHS are deluded hypochondriacs! There are amply qualified scientists ready and waiting to do such studies but lack the funding. Any parties willing to fund such a study should contact Camilla Rees via the following email address; info[at]electromagnetichealth[dot]org
As for evidence of risks of potentially damaging long term effects of EMF/EMR exposure at power, radio and microwave frequencies well within ICNIRP guidelines, peer reviewed studies raising serious cause for concern are now in abundance, with thousands of papers demonstrating biological effects and little awareness in the general public of these findings.
Despite the relative 'technicality' of the shortage of studies that scientifically confirm EHS peoples ability to Immediately identify EMF exposures, knowledge of physiological changes in EHS persons, effects of EMR / EMF on their bodies and treatment protocols that address it's true nature as a Physiological illness have progressed significantly in recent years and a series of papers by the leaders in the field are in progress.....

**Part 2 of 3**

To quote one of these leading figures, Prof Dominique Belpomme, Professor of Oncology at Paris-Descartes University;

"We know with certainty that electromagnetic hypersensitivity is not psychosomatic", Prof Dominique Belpomme stated in a [November 2010] telephone interview. "EMFs provoke major effects in the brain. The most important of these is the opening of the blood-brain barrier. This allows mercury, organochlorines and other pollutants to enter in the brain, where they cause various neurodegenerative diseases."
"On the basis of more than 400 [EHS] patients who consult with me, we were able to develop a diagnostic test which relies on a pulsed Doppler ultrasound and cerebral blood tests. They serve to highlight an increase of some stress proteins, which reflect the existence of a brain injury. These people are genuinely sick. I can certify that they suffer from intolerance to electromagnetic fields. Furthermore we have developed a treatment that can act to reduce the symptoms."

http://emrstop.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=129:interview-with-oncologist-belpomme-on-ehs&catid=6:emfemr-information&Itemid=36

I had hoped that Prof Belpomme or one of the two British medical Doctors who are self-diagnosed EHS sufferers would be interviewed and/or quoted for the article. Dr Andrew Tresidder GP practices in Chard, Somerset, trained at Guys hospital and is a self-diagnosed EHS, educating doctors about the true Physiological causes of the condition and is curing or mitigating a growing number of his patients maladies with recommendations such as to switch off their DECT Cordless phones, wi-fi routers or not sleep with their mobile (with any wireless connections active) switched on beside their bed. An open letter from him to GPs will be included in another post. He is a trustee of the UK charity and campaign group for Electro-Sensitive persons, ES-UK http://es-uk.info/index.asp
Dr Erica Mallery Blythe is an Emergency Room Doctor in the UK who is also a self diagnosed Electro-Sensitive, also doing much to share current findings on EHS mechanisms and successful treatment protocols with NHS doctors. She is a trustee of the EM Radiation Research Trust http://www.radiationresearch.org/, and also a medical advisor to ES-UK.

The article didn't point out that I was recently asked to vacate the wood I lived in for 15 months due to its change of ownership (where I had been making significant improvements) and I currently reside on a remote plot of land on the edge of a forest. Whilst still being remote, I lack a full surrounding shield of trees and I've taken a big downturn in the time I've been here as EMR levels from masts and neighbours are significantly higher. To complicate matters further, I've just been served an eviction order by the local council, thus no longer have the luxury of time to experiment with shielding to see if I can get levels in my caravan low enough for me to make health gains here and warrant digging in my heels for a legal fight to stay. I'm thus potentially facing having to park up roadside again in a few weeks.

Due to struggles with power, comms and a hand-to-mouth survival, I've not started a blog documenting my experiences as it would be ideal to be able to link to a detailed description of how my illness began, how it has developed and how seriously it effects me on a day to day basis, despite my remote living due to how sensitive I've become. I've thus begun writing this description, and as word count is so limited in such a comments area and I've had to post this comment in parts, I intend to get a blog up and running ASAP and link to it from here so that my full story can be read. It will clarify the frequently debilitating symptoms and describe the measuring and investigative methods I used to confirm what I was experiencing as the illness developed, which provides a very strong argument to refute suggestions that my symptoms could be due to psychological 'nocebo' effects and I hope it will serve as a warning to all those unaware of the potential of serious harm from chronic exposure to pulsed electromagnetic radiation and electromagnetic fields. Of course our minds can be of potentially strong influence and produce 'nocebo' effects, and I don't doubt that my mind can have an influence and exacerbate or mitigate symptoms, but unfortunately in this case to a frustratingly limited extent. How much easier it would be if psychotherapy and/or magic pills could cure this sensitivity but sadly the inconvenient truth (for me as much as anyone) is that I am at the mercy of a man-made environmental bio-toxin whose ubiquitous prevalence is beyond my control.

**Part 3 of 3**

Included below are links to further key evidence. I hope my posts won't be deleted and will stay 'bumped' up the comments section so as to fill in the gaps in the published story.

I can be contacted via electromagneticrefugee[at]fastmail[dot]fm

With thanks again to all who wish me well,

In truth and justice,

Phil Inkley

Mobile phone masts a health hazard

From the Kingdom of Swaziland

Epidemiology research done by scientists have compiled results which many could find very disturbing. About 10 studies have shown that people who have been exposed to the radiation emitted by these structures as they operate have reported more symptoms such as headache, sleep disturbance, irritability, depression, memory loss and concentration problems. One of the even more serious health hazards said to stem from the radiation from the masts is cancer. The scientific studies link a higher rate or levels of symptoms in people with their proximity to the masts.

Silicon Valley's prescriptions for Internet addiction

The people whose livelihoods and egos depend on the success of Internet-powered gadgets have started disconnecting because of all the detrimental things it may or may not do to our brains that we've read about in various trend stories, of late. Unlike us, though, who read about this so-called trend on the Internet, then wrote about it on the Internet, and continued our plugged-in lives, they are doing something about it, according to The New York Times's Matt Ritchel.
