Electromagnetic Sensitivity Gains Observance Month
Connecticut Governor Jodi Rell is the first in the United States this year to declares May 2010 as Electromagnetic Sensitivity Awareness Month.
"People of al ages in Connecticut and throughout the world have developed the illness of Electromagnetic Sensitivity (EMS) as a result of global electromagnetic pollution," says Rell on the proclamation.
In Canada, Don Coombs, Mayor of Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, is the first this year to proclaim January 2010 as Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Awareness Month.
"This illness may be preventable through the reduction or avoidance of electromagnetic radiation in both indoor and outdoor environments and by further medical research," says Coombs on his proclamation.
This is the fourth proclamation in Canada according to Christiane Tourtet in a recent news release. The first one was signed by David Saunders, Mayor of the City of Colwood, B.C. (August 2009). The second one was signed by Dennis O ´ Keefe, Mayor of St Johns´s in Newfoundland (August 2009). And the third one was signed by Mayor Fred Budgell of Norris Arms, Newfounland (October 2009).
"People suffering from EHS have significantly higher natural rates of membrane leakage as measured by their skin conductance (Eltiti et al. 2007). Since their leakage rates are already high, even small amounts of electromagnetic radiation that would not affect non-sensitive individuals can trigger their symptoms. Not everyone gets exactly the same symptoms, but they include false feelings of heat, touch, pressure, crawling sensations, pins and needles and pain," says Andrew Goldsworthy BSc PhD, a retired lecturer in biology at the Imperial College London. "The radiation can also affect the "hair cells of the inner ear, which work in much the same way. Leakage here can trigger false sensations of sound (tinnitus). There is a similar effect on the hair cells of the part of the inner ear that controls balance. Leakage here gives feelings of dizziness and symptoms of motion sickness, including nausea."
EMS may become a major problem for everyone in the world according to Goldsworthy. "Although only a few percent of the population are at present electrosensitive, the condition can be brought on in hitherto healthy people by repeated or prolonged exposure to the radiation. However, it sometimes takes many years to develop so, even if you are currently one of the lucky ones who are not affected, there is no guarantee that it will stay that way."
These words of wisdom remind us why awareness of EMS and an observance month is so important!

A toxic soup of heavy metals, EMF pollution, chemicals, and the body's own toxins produced by disease, is turning long-familiar microorganisms into super stars of destruction. Combined with junk food and a chemical-laden environment, they all add up to the perfect storm where perhaps a few types of biotoxins are produced in us in unprecedented rates.

US Govt. Admits, Child Vaccines Significantly Aggravated And Caused Autistic Symptoms
by LibNOT - News, Video, and Conservative Opinion
For some unknown reason the most vocal and seemingly best protectors of our health are most often branded as "alternative health" practitioners, "health nuts" and so on. The advocates for Americans and other citizens of the world like Dr. Mercola (see his article below), Dr. William Campbell Douglass II, Mike Adams, Jon and Kristin Barron, Jenny Thompson at HSI Baltimore and a host others, are here to report the real goings on with the pharmaceutical companies, the FDA, vitamin/herbal supplements, "organic" foods, food additives, healthy lifestyles, etc. The aforementioned small group of "alternative" health "nuts" are today's true mainstream medical heroes and reporters of truth with a smattering of opinion thrown in for good measure. As the title above indicates, the long held belief that, "thimerosal, a preservative that is 49.6 percent ethylmercury is a contributing factor in many cases of autism" is something that the alternative health crowd has been saying for years. Dr. Mercola's brief article below is informative, troubling, but most of all….it should make you angry. The U.S. government has concluded that childhood vaccines contributed to symptoms of autism in 9-year-old Hannah Poling. The unprecedented concession was in response to one of three test cases that allege the mercury-containing vaccine preservative thimerosal caused autism in children. According to the case, the child was healthy and developing normally until her 18-month well-baby visit, where she received vaccinations for nine diseases, two of which contained thimerosal. Within 48 hours of the shots, Hannah become ill, refused to walk and could not sleep through the night. Within three months, she began showing signs of autism. According to U.S. Division of Vaccine Injury Compensation, the shots "significantly aggravated an underlying mitochondrial disorder" and resulted in a brain disorder "with features of autism spectrum disorder." Although federal officials continue to say there is no link between autism and vaccines, this concession says otherwise. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has determined that Hannah's family is entitled to compensation from a federal vaccine injury fund in an amount that is still being determined. There are currently 4,900 autism cases pending in Federal "Vaccine Court." Sources: * Organic Consumers Organization February 25, 2008 * The Atlanta Journal-Constitution March 6, 2008 This is an unprecedented admission by the U.S. government, which, until now, has clung to their statement that vaccines do not cause autism. Though they are still saying this, they have now conceded that the vaccines "significantly aggravated" an underlying disorder and caused autistic symptoms in at least one child. It will be interesting to see how the other 4,900 cases waiting to be heard will turn out. No doubt many of these cases will report similar stories to Hannah Poling's, where a healthy infant receives vaccinations and then suddenly becomes withdrawn and unable to communicate as they did before. There is little doubt that thimerosal, a preservative that is 49.6 percent ethylmercury, is a contributing factor in many cases of autism. It is a well-established fact that exposure to mercury can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions — all similar to traits defining, or associated with, autism. There may also be another component in vaccines that is causing damage. For instance, according to Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD: "Another important factor with regard to mercury on the mind … is synergistic toxicity — mercury's enhanced effect when other poisons are present. A small dose of mercury that kills 1 in 100 rats and a dose of aluminum that will kill 1 in 100 rats, when combined have a striking effect: all the rats die. Doses of mercury that have a 1 percent mortality will have a 100 percent mortality rate if some aluminum is there. Vaccines contain aluminum." Have Autism Rates Declined Since Thimerosal Was Removed From Vaccines? Thimerosal was taken out of most childhood vaccines at the beginning of the decade. In 2006, studies of two government databases indicated that autism rates went up as thimerosal dosages increased, then began to decline as thimerosal was removed. Yet, if you look at this Time magazine article, it says that autism rates have continued to climb since thimerosal was removed from vaccines in 2001. Why the discrepancy? It could be due to the fact that in 2002 the U.S. government began recommending flu shots to children under 2 (and now recommends them for kids until they're 18). Well, most flu shots still contain thimerosal, so many infants are still being exposed to mercury. There is also the issue of vaccine timing. "Giving too many vaccines over too short a time to infants whose nervous system is not yet fully developed can also trigger autism and its spectrum of disorders," Dr. Miller says. And, according to Dr. Russell Blaylock, multiple vaccines given close together over-stimulate your brain's immune system and, via the mechanism of "bystander injury," destroy brain cells. What Else is Fueling the Autism Epidemic? Autism now affects about one in 150 U.S. children. A small portion of these cases, perhaps 1 percent, may be due to genetic defects, and the rest are likely caused by exposure to toxic chemicals, viruses or other environmental influences. One environmental influence that you may not have heard about was suggested by a November 2007 study in the Journal of the Australasian College of Nutritional & Environmental Medicine. It found that electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from cell phones, cell towers, Wi-Fi devices and other similar wireless technologies may be an accelerating factor in autism. After five years of research on children with autism and other membrane sensitivity disorders, the researchers found that EMR negatively affects cell membranes, and allows heavy metal toxins, which are associated with autism, to build up in your body. Meanwhile, autism rates have increased concurrently along with the proliferation of cell phones and wireless use. EMR, the researchers say, could impact autism by facilitating early onset of symptoms or by trapping heavy metals inside of nerve cells, which could accelerate the onset of symptoms of heavy metal toxicity and hinder therapeutic clearance of the toxins. If Your Child Has Autism … There are several things you can do to help: 1. Have your child eat a diet tailored to their nutritional type. In my experience, nearly ALL children seem to respond favorably to the dietary changes when properly implemented. 2. Avoid giving your child pasteurized milk. This is imperative to the treatment of autism, and includes all milk products, such as ice cream, yogurt and whey. Even natural flavorings in food must be avoided unless the processor can guarantee, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that caseinate is not included. Anyone managing this illness without restricting milk is deceiving themselves. 3. Eliminating sugar, juice, soda, French fries and wheat (pasta, bagels, cereal, pretzels, etc) from your child's diet is also highly recommended. 4. Make sure your child is getting proper sun exposure, as there is a link between rampant vitamin D deficiency and the proportionate jump in autism. The vitamin D receptor appears in a wide variety of brain tissue early in the fetal development, and activated vitamin D receptors increase nerve growth in your brain. 5. Use an effective intervention to address any emotional stresses your child faces as soon as possible. Potent energy psychology tools such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) are excellent for this purpose. You can do EFT with your child, and also teach him how to do it himself. 6. Homeopathy may also help ameliorate symptoms.
