(Anyway his findings on EMF effects on the BBB were also confirmed by
others).

REMEMBER:

Dr. Neil Cherry, (May 2000). "My problem is that there is so much
research that shows adverse biological and health effects, but there is
a concerted campaign to ignore, discredit or attack the messengers.”

Dr. Neil Cherry (27 Oct. 2000) “Leif Salford’s research on microwaves
and the Blood Brain Barrier is probably very relevant.  The BBB protects
the brain from toxins and viruses. About 2 minutes on a cell phone can
open the BBB and allow toxins, including prions, into the brain”.

Dr. Neil Cherry. University of Lincoln (February 5, 2000) “Since our
brains detect and use very low frequency signals from the Schumann
Resonances, which have a mean intensity of about 0.0000001
microwatts/sq. cm. (0.1 picowatts/sq. cm.), it is not surprising that at
exposures which are millions of times higher, there is increased brain
cell damage and an increased risk of brain tumor in a dose-response
manner. This kind of result is indicative of cause and effect.”

SUNDAY MIRROR (19.3.2000). "SWITCH OFF YOUR MOBILES UNION WARNS STAFF"

"THOUSANDS of civil servants have been warned by their union to stop
using mobile phones amid fears they could be damaging their health."

Union leader Barry Reamsbottom said: “We are probably the first union to
warn all its members against using mobile phones”. "We are simply saying
medical opinion is still divided over the possible health implications
of long term usage."

· "Our message is, 'Don't gamble With Your Health'."

Dr. George Carlo (October 1999). “The most important measures of
consumer protection are missing: complete and honest factual information
to allow informed judgement by consumers about assumption of risk; the
direct tracking and monitoring of what happens to consumers who use
wireless phones; and, the monitoring of changes in the technology that
could impact health”.

Dr. George Carlo. (October 1999). “I am especially concerned about what
appear to be actions by a segment of the industry to conscript the FCC,
the FDA and The World Health Organization with them in following a
non-effectual course that will likely result in a regulatory and
consumer backlash."

Subject: Protesters topple mobile phone masts

Protesters topple mobile phone masts as health scare spreads
By Daniel Foggo
(Filed: 30/11/2003)

Activists have begun tearing down mobile-phone masts around the country,
as public concern over the health impact of the radiation they emit
continues to grow.

The destruction of the masts - as many as four in a single week -
signals a dramatic stepping up of the campaign to stop them being placed
on top of, or close to, people's houses.

Earlier this month, masts were brought down at Wishaw and Dudley in the
West Midlands, Crosby in Merseyside and Tiverton in Devon. At least four
have also been brought down in Northern Ireland in recent months.

Although government advisers say there is no evidence that the masts
threaten peoples' health, those living near them have complained of
illnesses ranging from cancer to motor neurone disease. Some scientific
studies have suggested that the radiation produced by the aerials has an
impact on sleep patterns and could have health implications.

Lisa Oldham, the director of Mast Sanity, a group that campaigns against
the masts being sited close to communities, said: "We don't condone the
use of criminal acts to bring down the masts, but this does suggest the
level of protest against them.

"We are swamped with people protesting about them. There are thousands
of groups trying to get masts moved or trying to prevent new ones being
placed near their homes."

At Wishaw, a village near Sutton Coldfield, a 74ft mobile mast was
pulled down in the early hours of November 6 by a protester using a rope
and haulage equipment. The mast, which was put up 10 years ago on a
narrow patch of land between a field and a livery yard, has been blamed
for causing a cluster of cancers in the area.

Among those living in the 18 houses within a 500-yard radius of the mast
there are 20 cases of serious illness, including cancers of the breast,
prostate, bladder, lung. One man is dying of motor neurone disease. Many
of the people affected are in their thirties and forties.

Since the mast was toppled, residents have refused to let the network
provider, T-Mobile, replace it and the situation has now developed into
an uneasy stand-off.

Eileen O'Connor, who lives within 300 yards of where the mast used to
stand, had breast cancer two years ago at the age of 38. She noticed
that many of her neighbours were attending her hospital with similar
problems and set up Sutton Coldfield Residents Against Masts (Scram).

"We have absolutely no idea who took the mast down, and obviously it was
a dangerous and inadvisable thing to do," said Mrs O'Connor, who runs an
internet advertising business. She and her children, who also suffered
ill-effects, sleep under copper-mesh "mosquito nets" in an effort to
deflect any mobile phone radiation.

"The first I knew about it was when I looked out of my window in the
morning and couldn't see the mast. Apparently the company said that they
lost the signal at 12.30am. Someone had unbolted the mast and pulled it
over using a rope."

Clare Villanueva, a solicitor and Scram campaigner in Wishaw, has
written to Crown Castle, the company that owns the land on which the
mast stood, saying that it cannot legally gain access to the site to
replace the mast because its path crosses someone else's land.

Residents are now carrying out a 24-hour vigil to ensure that a new mast
is not set up, and both sides are paying for security guards to patrol
the borders of the land. The locals have suggested an alternative
location away from habitation for T-Mobile to use, but this has been
rejected by the company.

A spokesman for T-Mobile said that the police had been called to
investigate. "It defies belief that nobody in Wishaw noticed when the
mast was coming down," he said.

A spokesman for the Mobile Operators' Association, which represents the
five network providers on health and planning issues, said that all its
members operated within accepted World Health Organisation guidelines
for radiation emissions and there was no proof that masts caused health
problems.

She added: "The number of masts being brought down is very small in the
overall scheme of things. However, it is certainly worrying that people
are taking direct action, because they could seriously hurt or even kill
themselves."

Medical report from EMF victims in the Netherlands
---------------------------------------------------------------
The general practitioner after all the exhausting clinical and
laboratory tests thinks e.m.-fields are the cause of our suffering. We
have to move and try to find a better place, I myself am unable to sleep
in our apartment anymore and am almost unable to function in daily life.
Since a month I started checking the internet for other people and it
seems there are many with the same fate. One, two years 24 hours
(including sleeping) in fields of up to 185 V/meter and 68 mikroWatt/m2,
probably very low frequency fields (caused by interference) as well, is
enough to 'kill' anybody. The damage is not just for a few people who
become less happy; every human is damaged more or less (most of them
less, but if you count all these damages the total is huge).

Frans van Velden


Patient: ..... , 1-X-1952, male, 1,92 metres, 110 kg.

anamnesis

burning footsoles, tingling legs
vibrations, tremors, convulsions, muscle pain, cramp, trembling
sweating, heating
sleeping disorders (awakening suddenly, staying awake), fatigue, exhaustion
burning feeling (skin, eyes), electrical currents through body, fingers,
toes
dizzyness, feeling unwell, weakness, pressure on head, headache
short memory lapses, concentration problems
heart beat sometimes fast, breathing sometimes fast
blood pressure up or down (115-160 or 95-140)
changes in eye tests (three times different)

Patient lives and works in the Bezuidenhout area in the centre of The
Hague (Merkusstraat .... c.q. Juliana van Stolberglaan .....). Elsewhere
patient has symptoms, but far less.

medical data

Clinical tests, blood- and urine tests, echo-scan, thorax-pictures do
not show any disease or abnormality known to g.p., neurologist,
internist, eye specialist, toxicologist and company doctor. Psychiatrist
does not find any psychopathology.

Blood- and urine tests: all within reference values, liver is 'working',
indicators for muscle- and cell-damage are high, mercury mean high.
Vitamin B10 tested two times: 11,1 and 6,9 nmol/l (reference values
6.0-39.0).

Pseudocholinesterase: 8 IU/ml (reference values 7-19). If the standard
deviation is used chances are low that 8 IU/ml is the normal value for
this person. Patient does not have a history of pseudocholinesterase
deficiency. According to electro-acupuncturist (method Voll) patient had
a toxic load caused by articaine, successfully treated by homeopathic
medicine. Articaine is contra-indicated for persons with a
pseudocholinesterase deficiency.

technical data

The apartment where patient lives is about 800 metres from a radio/tv
emission tower, about 100 metres from the nearestby GSM-bases (corner
Theresiastraat/De Sillestraat) and about 300 metres from the next
GSM-bases (corner Theresiastraat/Laan van Nieuw Oost Indië). In the
building are many apartments with electronic devices, GSM-handsets and
DECT-wireless telephones.

The office where patient works is about 150 metres from the radio/tv
emission tower and nearby a large amount of GSM-bases, next tot the
Utrechtsebaan highway. In the building are many electronic devices and
GSM-handsets. There is a tram in front of the building and the Central
Station is nearby. Patient works with a computer daily.

conclusion

The symptoms are understandable as caused by chronic exposure to
electric, magnetic and/or electro-magnetic fields/radiation, this is
called EMFS (Electro Magnetic Field Syndrom) or ES (Electro Sensitivity).

Patient probably suffers from symptoms caused by chronic exposure by
e.m.-fields/radiation.

Writing above done by patient himself, but I can confirm.

Greenpeace: Threatened Amazon activists need your urgent help!

---------------------------------------------------------------
Greenpeace Forest Campaign Urgent Update

Three hundred loggers from Porto de Moz in the Amazon surrounded the
Greenpeace vessel MV Arctic Sunrise earlier this week, and local forest
activists were threatened with attacks that sent them fleeing for
sanctuary. As of today the situation is still highly dangerous. We need
your help to strengthen the support of Brazil's federal government.
