Dear Klaus:   This website is regarding USAMRMC (Military Operational
Medicine Research Program) and focuses on Parkinsons and related
neurodegenerative processes.    While the site has a date of 1999, I do
not ever recall having seen it and thought the info should be
distributed to your group.

On the second page, there is a small picture with the caption "new
technology is increasing soldier exposures to radiofrequency radiation. 
Nonthermal effects on neural tissue are being actively investigated for
militarily relevant frequency and power mixes."

The site was last updated on 06 October 1999.  One paragraph mentions
"....there are currently 63 discrete research projects in the program."

I hope the year 2004 will be a great one for you and all others fighting
to reduce EMR pollution!!!!   Take care  -   Joanne

CHILDREN AT ENVIRONMENTAL RISK (Part 2)
--------------------------------------------------------
"For what is certain is that if the scale of the assault on our bodily
well-being is not reduces, but instead continues to accelerate at the
speed witnessed over the past quarter century, then humanity will itself
become the species facing a slow, but inexorable, journey to extinction.
We have, perhaps, five years to make the choice."
James Bellini, author of "High Tech Holocaust" 1987

Sperm counts down by a third, study shows
http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/health/story.jsp?story=478185

By Danielle Demetriou

05 January 2004

Fears about the declining levels of male fertility have been raised by
new research which reveals sperm counts dropped by almost a third in
little more than a decade.

The average sperm count plummeted by 29 per cent between 1989 and 2002,
a study at the Aberdeen Fertility Centre in Scotland shows. The findings
of the research prompted immediate calls for further investigation into
the factors that influence male fertility.

Dr Siladitya Bhattacharya, who led the research, said: "It highlights
the need for research to discover what the reasons might be as well as
the need for further studies elsewhere in the country to see if they
support our results."

Previous research recorded sperm counts falling around the world by an
estimated 50 per cent in the past half-century, but scientists have not
established the full extent of external influences that may affect a
decline in the quality of sperm. Drug use, alcohol, smoking and obesity
are among the factors most frequently blamed. The effects of the
environment, including the presence of pesticides, chemicals and
radioactive material, have also been linked to decreases in fertility.

The preliminary findings of the research will be presented today to the
Association of Clinical Embryologists and the British Fertility Society
at a conference in Liverpool.

The study, entitled Semen Parameters in the Northeast, was based on an
analysis of 16,000 semen samples from men who attended the Aberdeen
Fertility Centre, the only such clinic in the Grampian region.

There has been speculation that the low sperm levels may be a
consequence of fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986.
Rainfall as the radioactive dustcloud passed over eastern Scotland may
have exposed people in the area to unusually high amounts of radiation.
But Dr Bhattacharya said it was "almost impossible" to confirm or deny
precise factors.

DON's COMMENT:
-------------------------
On December 6-7 I attended a conference titled: "Children"s Health in
the Modern Environment" in Sydney (see below). The message out of this
conference (attended by GP from many countries) mirrors previous
CHILDREN AT ENVIRONMENTAL RISK (Part 1)
Omega: see under
http://www.buergerwelle.de/body_emf-omega-news_04-01-04.html.  Figures
were given on the alarming increase in a whole range of childhood
diseases in the US, with some areas reporting increases up to 1300% in
Autism rates since 1995.  When I asked the presenter what these
increases meant for the future of the US she mentioned that with the
toxic load of chemicals in children being born today, within our
lifetimes we may see the modern world as no longer having a sufficiently
healthy (and numerous)  young generation to maintain the economy/ society.

- A threat that makes the Bush "War on Terror" a minor distraction.


Children’s Health in the Modern Environment   Sat/Sun, Dec 6th-7th
Facilitator and Main Presenter - Dr Robyn Cosford
Other speakers to include - Dr Chris Reading, Barry Zworestine
(psychologist)

At least one workshop with this excellent presenter should be mandatory
for all GPs. Dr Cosford is at the forefront of researching and obtaining
results with young patients suffering from a variety of so-called modern
diseases’ linked to environmental factors. They include neurological,
immunological and  gastro-intestinal conditions. This workshop will be
covering practitioner approaches to ADD/ADHD, chronic fatigue syndrome,
autism and gastric dismotility syndrome. Biochemistry of conditions and
the roles of environmental factors and nutritional status on young
patients’ health will be covered. This workshop promises much practical
discussion and exploration to equip those attending to better handle
these patients themselves.

Mast protestors hire security guards
-------------------------------------
Residents campaigning against the re-erection of a mobile phone mast
near Sutton Coldfield, have employed security guards.

The mast at Wishaw led to a number of protests by villagers who blamed
it for a cluster of cancer cases.

The 22-metre mast fell down on Bonfire Night after bolts were removed
from the base, in what police described as an act of vandalism.

In an attempt to stop workmen getting on to the site campaigners have
hired security guards, paid for by the group's campaign fund.

Alternative site

Security guard David Roney said they questioned anyone who tried to get
onto the site.

"If anyone turns up and tries to get through the gates, we find out who
they are and if they have a legitimate reason.

"If it's the phone company we won't let them on the site."

Representatives from the Wishaw group met council planning chiefs before
Christmas to discuss their concerns.

The authority has since agreed to write to the government asking for an
inquiry into the effects of mobile phone masts on people's health.

Crown Castle Communications had said it would work with the residents to
find an alternative site.

But then the company changed its mind following a statement from mobile
phone network T-Mobile, which said it was determined to put the mast
back up.
