Collective Stop Waves Ariege non- electro

Dear friends,

Our first action is in progress. It is supported by several members of the Collective Stop Waves Ariege (not affiliated with a particular association ) against the state services for non-assistance to people in danger with regard to the extremely precarious position of Elizabeth M. , electro in danger.

Three complaints were filed against the warden of the Ariege and the Regional Health Agency . One by one member of the family of Elizabeth . Another by a member of the Collective Stop Waves Ariege non- electro . The third is paid by me, as to a lesser degree electro Elizabeth . A fourth is in progress. Others may follow if necessary.

This follows a dialogue of the deaf between our collective one hand and the Prefecture of the Ariege and the LRA on the other hand , who feel urgent to wait ( since May ! ) Before helping Elizabeth. But winter is coming and it is not possible that it remains isolated in the small mountain hut where she has taken refuge : total isolation, non- plowed road , 20 minute walk down a very steep terrain where the snow can to 1.5 m, avalanche risk , non- waterproof roof , 3 /4 hour drive from the first phone booth and supplies ...

After five months of reflection, the action of the prefect of the Ariege only recommending us to look for help from other people electro ! Everything is said that we survive or we die, the state is not affected . It is nevertheless supposed to protect us and we guarantee some rights, such as our physical integrity in a healthy environment (Law of 10 July 1976) . But the scientific evidence on the toxicity of wireless and international jurisprudence recognizing the harm suffered by the EHS bloom everywhere.

We are under no illusions about the consequences of these legal actions, which may be closed without , but we are determined . We can not continue to disappear in silence then it would be very easy for the state to protect areas to ensure acceptable conditions of life! Also, if our complaints are dismissed , we will consider other strategies for action.

Do you know that a complaint is not difficult ? It is a right and even a duty if you know someone whose life is threatened. It's free ! And contrary to what some gendarmes , they do not have the right to refuse to take your complaint whatsoever .

If you are considering a similar approach for yourself or a loved one, you can get in contact with me. The more we are together, the more we will be strong and happy!

Madam Deputy,

I have the honor to request an appointment with you during one of your permanence in our district.
I would like to raise with you the issue of artificial electromagnetic fields about which we have already shared , especially electromagnetic hypersensitivity afflicting a growing number of citizens.

Here in Ariege , many people are in great distress. One of them sought refuge in extremely precarious conditions in the mountains. A girl of fourteen, extremely bright student must attend classes by CNED three years. A third person is having to leave his home in St Lizier due to irradiation of the city and taken refuge in a trailer with no amenities . Myself , I came to settle in our beautiful region to escape the wave of the place where I lived. But I 'm not immune to increases in the network.

It is urgent to take our situations , which are a reflection of the enormous loss suffered at present by thousands of people in France account .
As an author who wrote a book on the subject , I get every day new evidence of desperate people .

I inform you that three complaints are to be filed by members of the Collective Stop Waves Ariege against the state services ( prefect , ARS) for failure to assist a person in danger on one of the people mentioned , Elisabeth Mr. this complaint is already now supported by several associations of patients waves at national and international level and by high-level scientists .

Madam, we are sick, exhausted and in great difficulty and we need the support of our elected officials to survive!

I ask you to get me to discuss these issues. In the meantime, kindly ,

We're All Technology's Guinea Pigs Now, Whether We Like It or Not

With the rise of regulatory capture, the agencies that are supposed to protect human health often take orders from consumer products industries, not the other way around. That's the thing: those industries often define terms like "reasonably" not in ways that prioritize health, but in ways that serve the corporate bottom line.

Cellphone users told to cut down use

New Zealand response to French cellphone warning

The French recommendations were issued after a panel of 16 experts weighed up more than 300 recent scientific studies. While it concluded there was "no proven effect" on health, several studies suggested that talking on mobiles led to a higher long-term risk of brain cancer.

Two important new papers show mobile phone use does cause an increase in brain tumours

(1) RF is a Class 1 carcinogen using Bradford Hill criteria; Both mobile and cordless phone use show considerable increase in brain tumour incidence

As Towns Say No, Signs of Rising Resistance to Smart Meters

Some residents resisted, and the smart meter vote played a large role in last weekend's recall of the city's mayor and the electoral defeat of two council members.

"Former US vice president turned off wireless function of implanted defibrillator so it could not be hacked to kill him."

Dick Cheney, the former US vice president, said he disabled the wireless function of his heart defibrillator because he feared terrorists would hack it to give him a heart attack.

Cheney, George W Bush's right-hand-man in the so-called "war on terror", said the device's function was disabled by his cardiologist Jonathan Reiner in 2007, in case a terrorist tried to send his heart a fatal shock.

The scenario is similar to a plot line in the television programme, Homeland, where a renegade US soldier helps hack a device in the body of the US vice-president to give him a fatal shock

U.K. Unexpected rise in deaths among older people

"When we focus on mortality over 75, we observe rapidly increasing mortality for both males and females, presenting throughout 2012, and continuing into 2013.

The PHE report says that, more than halfway through 2013, there has been "if anything, a further deterioration in mortality compared with that observed" in the same period in 2012.

 
 
Increased 4G wireless radiation exposure should be suspected!

Cellphones in the classroom an issue for Halton teachers

The union representing Ontario's public elementary teachers is pushing to have cellphones turned off in the classroom and wireless technology (WiFi) use monitored for potential health-related concerns.

Is the cell phone industry making itself a sitting duck?

ICNIRP is like a "private club". Current ICNIRP members select and invite new members. It is clear from their choices that the new members are selected based not only on their scientific merit and stature but also on their opinion on risk. In this way, ICNIRP always consists of scientists with similar opinions. This prevents real scientific debate; when nobody has an opposing view then all agree and debate is not needed.

Positive Call to Action!!!
 
Consider writing a short story involving ES and submitting it in the CBC - Canada Writes competition. 
 
Wouldn't it be great to have a bunch of us write a story about being ES or something to do with the topic in a creative way so that Canadians will know more about this debilitating and most often isolating condition? 
 
Sorry for the short notice…   but I'm still going to give it a shot too!!!  I could use the $6000 too and would love to do a CBC interview about all of this... All the shortlisted finalists get published on the CBC website, so it would certainly help with the awareness factor.  And wouldn't it be funny it I won and it got published in the Air Canada Enroute magazine??? :)
 
Stories between 1200 and 1500 words have to be in by November 1, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

PS.  For our American and International Cousins please find ways do this in your area!!!  It's a positive project that will certainly help make a change for the better.  

PPS.  Other ideas could be about cell tower battles, wind turbines, wi-fi in schools, etc.  Anything that would help bring awareness to this issue.

Halifax Regional Municipality and Community at impasse with EastLink over telecommunications tower near Lawrencetown Beach

Industry Canada will review case and make final decision

At a meeting last Thursday(Sept 26,2013) in Lawrencetown, community members gathered to discuss next steps in their on-going battle to prevent EastLink from erecting a 251 foot telecommunications tower in their neighborhood and within the view plane of Lawrencetown Beach Provincial Park.

Shane Sutherland,
a local resident addressed the three provincial candidates who were present at the meeting saying, "It not that we are against technology. We want technology sited in the proper location that's compatible with our community."

Residences are concerned that EastLink has asked Industry Canada to overrule Halifax Regional Municipality's (HRM) staff recommendation to reject the proposed site, which is just off of Crowell Road. This is the latest chapter in a controversy that began more than two years ago, when EastLink originally proposed a site on Leslie Road in Lawrencetown in 2011. Public opposition to both sites has been overwhelming, and residents are getting ready to take their case even further.

The matter is currently at the Impasse Process with Industry Canada, in which only EastLink and the Municipality have standing as official parties in the dispute. A group of residents met with Mayor Savage earlier on Thursday to discuss how HRM could work with the local community to ensure all relevant issues are addressed. According to Doyle Safire, who attended the meeting, the Mayor promised greater co-operation and transparency from HRM as the process continues.

In his presentation to the nearly 100 concerned citizen in attendance at the meeting on Thursday evening, Mr. Safire explained how a 1931 Supreme Court ruling that made radio communication the sole responsibility of the federal government, essentially takes away the Province's and Municipality's constitutional right to regulate land use within the boundaries of the province.

Autism and EMF? Plausibility of a pathophysiological link - Part I.

Abstract

Although autism spectrum conditions (ASCs) are defined behaviorally, they also involve multileveled disturbances of underlying biology that find striking parallels in the physiological impacts of electromagnetic frequency and radiofrequency exposures (EMF/RFR). Part I of this paper will review the critical contributions pathophysiology may make to the etiology, pathogenesis and ongoing generation of core features of ASCs. We will review pathophysiological damage to core cellular processes that are associated both with ASCs and with biological effects of EMF/RFR exposures that contribute to chronically disrupted homeostasis. Many studies of people with ASCs have identified oxidative stress and evidence of free radical damage, cellular stress proteins, and deficiencies of antioxidants such as glutathione. Elevated intracellular calcium in ASCs may be due to genetics or may be downstream of inflammation or environmental exposures. Cell membrane lipids may be peroxidized, mitochondria may be dysfunctional, and various kinds of immune system disturbances are common. Brain oxidative stress and inflammation as well as measures consistent with blood-brain barrier and brain perfusion compromise have been documented. Part II of this paper will review how behaviors in ASCs may emerge from alterations of electrophysiological oscillatory synchronization, how EMF/RFR could contribute to these by de-tuning the organism, and policy implications of these vulnerabilities. Changes in brain and autonomic nervous system electrophysiological function and sensory processing predominate, seizures are common, and sleep disruption is close to universal. All of these phenomena also occur with EMF/RFR exposure that can add to system overload ('allostatic load') in ASCs by increasing risk, and worsening challenging biological problems and symptoms; conversely, reducing exposure might ameliorate symptoms of ASCs by reducing obstruction of physiological repair. Various vital but vulnerable mechanisms such as calcium channels may be disrupted by environmental agents, various genes associated with autism or the interaction of both. With dramatic increases in reported ASCs that are coincident in time with the deployment of wireless technologies, we need aggressive investigation of potential ASC - EMF/RFR links. The evidence is sufficient to warrant new public exposure standards benchmarked to low-intensity (non-thermal) exposure levels now known to be biologically disruptive, and strong, interim precautionary practices are advocated.

Why have young people in Japan stopped having sex?
 
Kunio Kitamura, head of the JFPA, claims the demographic crisis is so serious that Japan "might eventually perish into extinction".

Aversion to marriage and intimacy in modern life is not unique to Japan. Nor is growing preoccupation with digital technology.

 But, smart phones in hand, they also admit they spend far more time communicating with their friends via online social networks than seeing them in the flesh. Asada adds she's spent "the past two years" obsessed with a virtual game that lets her act as a manager of a sweet shop.
