Science being abused

Please read the two attached documents about how important scientists, bringing awareness about the dangers of electro magnetic radiation, are being harassed.

This is contrary to any sensible use of science and treatment of scientists.

The situation appears to involve academic institutional suppression of important scientific research which could benefit the world.

The State of New Mexico's Legislature passed House Memorial 32

"House Memorial 32 just passed the House 43-24, with good bipartisan support."

Bloom Energy

With all of the talk about nuclear energy, and the dangers related to transmitting it via wires over long distances, how about Bloom Energy? that is the way of the future and we need to get behind promoting it.

A few months ago - Adobe installed it on their building and are using it to power their head offices. Its a year old now - so perhaps with all of the talk about cancelled Windpower, wireless smart meters, leaking radioactive water from pickerings plants, deciding weather to build more nuclear or not - perhaps with the pending nuclear meltdown, it's time to revisit the story...

http://www.bloomenergy.com/customers/customer-story-adobe/

It's a small box that you put beside or on the roof of a building, feed it natural gas, and it converts it to electricity. No spinning motors for high EMF - no high tension powerlines on the roads or through the fields. You generate your own power locally.

They say you could hook it up to the natural gas in your home - it would be the size of a breadbox and would power everything.

This is not science fiction. The story needs to be told....

Reportlinker Adds Rapidly Growing Radio Frequency (RF) Technologies

American Banking News

There are widespread concerns about the potential human health impacts of extensive exposure to RF emissions, such as a possible link between cell phone use and the incidence of brain cancer. While definitive evidence of cancer or other health impacts of RF exposure has not yet been found, the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) has established international guidelines on human exposure limits for RF fields. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and other governmental agencies have also issued RF exposure guidelines of their own.

In addition to concerns about the human health impacts of RF emissions, there are the environmental issues. The latter range from the esthetic impacts of nearly ubiquitous cell phone towers to the potential adverse effects of low-level RF on wildlife and birds.

Wireless Overload

The updated schedule for wireless educational sessions at the Total Health Show (Toronto, April 8 - 10) is attached.

Several great speakers will be discussing health problems related to electro magnetic radiation exposure.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

W.H.O. and Industry

When Mike Repacholi led the World Health Organization's (WHO) EMF project, he took industry money and gave its people a seat at the table --allowing electric utilities and mobile phone companies to help set the agenda.

Now, Christopher Wild, the head of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a branch of the WHO, is welcoming industry representatives to the most important meeting on RF health risks in a generation.

At the end of May, an expert group will decide whether cell phone radiation can or may lead to cancer. The CTIA, the MMF and the GSM Association will all be there.

MS and EHS

March 23, 2011. Symptoms for multiple sclerosis (MS) and electrohypersensitivity (EHS) are similar and may lead to an initial misdiagnosis of this illness. Also, some people with MS may have EHS. If this is the case, improved electromagnetic hygiene in the home and work environment may alleviate some of the neurological symptoms as shown in this video.

WI-FI: Updated regulations are needed

by Alex Atamanenko on 22 Mar 2011

http://thenelsondaily.com/news/politics/wi-fi-updated-regulations-are-needed-10424

Technology is ever changing at a speed we can barely keep up with. For most of us, the idea of a stationary office no longer exists; it now travels with us in the form of a blackberry and the norm in communication has become a device you carry on your hip.

We stay connected, but at what price and who pays?

Last spring my colleague, Carol Hughes, after attending the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health meetings that investigated the health effects of microwaves from wireless devices such as cell phones and Wi-Fi, was approached by a group from Ontario who reported an illness cluster in their school that is consistent with microwave exposure.

A District School Board in Simcoe Country had installed a blanket microwave Wi-Fi system throughout every school. At one elementary school, parents of students began to report an illness trend involving childhood headaches, nausea, vertigo, insomnia, and even tachycardia (a heart condition requiring medical attention). These symptoms disappeared only when the children were not in school.

Like any concerned parent, they contacted the Simcoe County School Board and were told that the Wi-Fi system is perfectly safe according the Health Canada.

While at a committee meeting, Health Canada officials defended the department's Radiofrequency Exposure Guidelines (Safety Code 6), only to have those same guidelines questioned by international research scientists whose research show that people can experience biological changes in the presence of these low-level microwaves. One scientist also warned about an increased prevalence of cancer if Health Canada's "safe" limits for microwave exposure are not lowered.

Health Canada officials confidently stated there is "no cause for concern that Wi-Fi is dangerous." Perhaps instead, they should have said that in their opinion, that Safety Code 6 is sufficient.

During the committee meeting it was heard that there is no consensus among research scientists that microwave radiation is safe. In a study by the Royal Society of Canada, commissioned by Health Canada in 1999 and updated in 2001, there is conclusive evidence that there are potentially dangerous side effects from microwave exposure, such as:

· The weakening of the blood brain barrier which protects us from disease,

· Increasing certain enzymes known to promote cancer,

· Behaviour change

According to the Royal Society Report, young children are among the most vulnerable when it comes to microwave exposure. The report is clear that these biological changes happen well below the current "safe" limits set by Health Canada.

Health Canada's guidelines are not protecting us. They are outdated and designed for a grown man at 6 minutes of exposure. They don't take into account a 4 year child getting microwave exposure for 6 hours a day, five days a week, for 14 years of public school.

In a recent letter to the Minister of Health by NDP Health critic Megan Leslie, she writes that wireless technology has not existed long enough for long-term tests to be done and that we should err on the side of the precautionary principle. She states in her letter that while we cannot roll back the clock on the introduction of wireless technology into the everyday lives of Canadians, citizens want reassurance that Health Canada is following this issue closely and is reacting to new research as it arrives.

Exposing children to all day Wi-Fi in school is really an experiment, with unknown consequences. This is hardly promoting a safe learning environment for young children.

The New Denver Area Parent Children's Association has joined the ranks of other parents around Canada and the world to push for Wi-fi Free schools and libraries.
