Important message in own matter!
------------------------------------------
Dear friends and readers of the EMF-Omega-News:

We are happy to announce, that Citizens' Initiative Omega as member of
the Buergerwelle (incorporated society), Umbrella Organization of the
Citizens and Initiatives to the Protection before Electrosmog, has
decided for the synergy and bundling of the common strengths, to work
together narrowly with the Buergerwelle (incorporated society) in the
area of public relation, because our intentions and ideas concerning the
view from the dangers through the mobile-radio and relative
technologies, particularly in the consideration of the future health of /
our children and teenagers, is congruent to a large extent.

The EMF-Omega-News therefore will be published in future in the
framework and under the roof of the Buergerwelle (incorporated society),
without however losing it's editorial autonomy and own-responsibility.

We have the strong conviction that the bundling of our forces, will
strengthen our effectiveness in the sense of our common matter
considerably and we ask you, like until now, for your further support in
solidarity. We can have only success if we place ourselves all into the
service of the common matter and give up every personal ambitions and
prejudices. Only together we are strong and can reach something for the
health and future of our population. Apart we are separated and we will/
be pulverized. We can through solidarity, unselfish cooperation of all
mobile-radio-critical powers, alter however the public opinion, the
politics, the science, the justice and the business-politics of the
mobile-radio-operators.

Please help us with all your strength with this task! Thanks, also for
everything, which you have already achieved for the common matter until
now.

Life of Gaia
---------------
This miniseries is dedicated to our planet earth, so we may better
appreciate how she lives and sustains all creatures large and small,
that we may learn to dance to the complex rhythms of her life music
without stopping her in her tracks.

Space scientist and inventor Jim Lovelock first proposed in the 1970that the entire earth is a self-organizing, self-regulating entity,
rather like an organism. He named the earth Gaia, after the Greek earth
goddess.

The idea that Gaia is alive and has a life of her own immediately caught
fire. It inspired many earth scientists to look for the dynamic
processes that organize and regulate the currents of the earth, to make
a congenial home for all her inhabitants. These scientists are richly
rewarded.

Records from ice and deep sea cores show detailed globally correlated
changes going back at least 800 000 years, leaving us in no doubt that
the earth behaves from moment to moment as one coherent whole, just like
an organism. Not only can we can read Gaia’s life-history from her deep
memory stores, we can also tune in to her life-force pulsing as she is
living today.

Gaia spinning in her perpetual dance around the sun, her mighty breath
tumbling from hot belly to the poles, swirling across the continents,
bringing welcome rain to forests, grasslands and crops, or torrential
downpours, floods and hurricanes. Vast slow vortices of water connect
her oceans from the furthest northern reaches to the southernmost
haunts, from the shimmering sea surfaces to the dark deep beds,
distributing warmth and nutrients, sustaining life with life.

Gaia’s breath is our breath, her water our water. Let Gaia live that we
may live.

CANCER FEARS ARE RAISED BY MAST SCHEME

12:00 - 25 September 2003

Blood disease sufferer Tory Ashby has spoken of her fears about working
in the shadow of a telecommunications mast that mobile phone company
Vodafone wants to upgrade. Tory Ashby, 24, from Hammet Road, Cullompton,
developed aplastic anaemia, which can lead to full-blown leukaemia, two
years ago. She is now in remission but is worried about plans by
Vodafone to upgrade the mast near her office at her family's Otter Plant
Sale business in Beare, near Cullompton. She said: "I am more prone to
infections and more at risk to leukaemia and similar illnesses.
"Fighting the constant applications for various masts is becoming
tiresome and it seems as though, when we win one battle, another phone
company makes an application. "We are worried for our long-term future.
There has not been enough study to confirm just what risks there are."

The Vodafone plan is the third mast application for the small hamlet,
which has about 35 residents.

Another application by Hutchison 3G to put a 15-metre transmitter on the
same trading estate is currently the subject of an appeal.

East Devon District Council refused the application on visual grounds,
its close proximity to residents' homes and the stress and anxiety it
would cause them and the impact in their quality of life.

Another application for a mast share on the site was approved by the
council but never utilised after strong protests from residents.

Miss Ashby developed the illness two years ago, a year after she started
working at the
Beare office. The cause is unknown.

Miss Ashby has been in remission for about six months and attends the
Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital for monthly check-ups. She remains worried
that her condition, where the bone marrow stops producing enough blood
cells, could return. Miss Ashby's worried father and employer, David,
51, has put extra cladding on the walls of the business premises.

She is the second person in the small hamlet to contract a
cancer-related illness. Jenny Wright, whose home is 40 metres from the
mast, is recovering from breast cancer. The retired school teacher said:
"This thing is sapping away at our energy and our finances. We feel that
we are trapped."

Councillor Ruth Burrow has criticised Vodafone for wanting to upgrade a
mast within yards of the workplace of a recovering cancer victim. The
original mast went up seven years ago and Vodafone wants to install
newer technology. Cllr Burrow, who has checked over the site with fellow
councillors, said: "I feel so sorry for the residents of Beare who are
being threatened by one telecoms application after another. They have
nowhere to go and all the while their houses are being devalued."

Local vasodilator response to mobile phones.

the National Heart and Lung Institute, London, UK.

OBJECTIVES:

The use of mobile phones with the resulting generation of potentially
harmful electromagnetic fields (EMF) is the focus of public interest.
Heat generation and the activation of the inducible form of nitric oxide
(NO) synthase may be possible causes of the biological effects of EMF
exposure. We investigated if a mobile telephone conversation can modify
skin temperature, NO, and nasal resistance.

METHODS:

We studied the effect of an EMF (900 MHz) generated by a commercially
available cellular phone during a 30-minute telephone conversation on
skin temperature, nasal NO measured by chemiluminescence, and nasal
minimal cross-sectional area (MCA) measured by rhinometry. Eleven normal
subjects (mean age +/- standard error of mean [SEM], 32 +/- 5 y; 10
male) were studied.

RESULTS:

There was a similar and significant increase in skin temperature of the
nostril and occipital area on the same side as the telephone (maximal
increase 2.3 +/- 0.2 degrees C at 6 min) as well as a tendency for
higher nasal NO levels (maximal increase 12.9 +/- 4.9% at 10 min),
whereas the MCA was significantly reduced (maximal decrease -27 +/- 6%
at 15 min).

Such changes were not recorded when an earpiece was used to avoid the
direct exposure to the electromagnetic field.

There were no changes in the skin temperature and nasal NO measured on
the opposite side to the mobile phone, whereas the MCA was significantly
increased (38 +/- 10%).

CONCLUSIONS:

Exposure to EMF produced by a mobile phone produces biological effects
that can be easily measured. Microwaves may increase skin temperature
and therefore cause vasodilation and reduce MCA.

Further studies are needed to study the long-term effects of mobile
phone use and the relation among NO production, vasodilation, and
temperature.

Subject: a global heat

A myth is that the standards protects against heat.

This myth is sold all over the world, with a clear conscience of the
bodies that run public's lives, globally. The standard talks about
heating of 1 degree.

Here is a study that shows heating up to 2.3 degrees within 6 minutes-
at the same side of the head where the phone is.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=
PubMed&list_uids=11192886&dopt=Abstract


What's more, the study shows activation of the inducible form of nitric
oxide in the nose.

I would like to ask:

A. If this happens after 6 minutes, what happens after 30 minutes?

B. Who is going to tell the public all over the world, that the standard
not only doesn't protect against non-heating effects, but it is
scientifically proven by a very formal institute, Imperial College
School of Medicine at the National Heart and Lung Institute, London, UK-
that the standard does not protect against heat- who will dare to tell
it to the public? What is all the silence about it? I have never heard
so strong a silence! It's the imperial College, isn't it a very
respected institute? This is not a "rebellious" scientist who disturbes
the beauty sleep of the WHO, ICNIRP, FDA, etc. etc...

C. Who is going to tell public that all the "standard research" is
simply, wrong? Who will admit that? Is it going to be Dr. Michael
Repacholi? Never. Never will he tell the parents of the world about the
mass-brain -heating of the children all over the world. No compassion.
Clear conscience. The greatest disaster- this silence consequence- is
yet to come. And next year, the WHO will publish another report. And the
report will say again that the cancer rate is expected to rise next
years. What are the reasons? Nothing new under the sun: Eat "balanced"
nutrition, go jogging, don't smoke and hoops! You are protected against
cancer ! So simple.

Research papers on congruity of microwave bioeffects and schizophrenia
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Klaus: As you can see below, John has given his permission for the
draft of his paper to be released, although it is not in its final
edited form, because he realises the research he presents is too
important for helping those who are badly affected and the medical
personnel whom they approach for help. It is really generous and
selfless of him to share his thorough research with all of us, even
though this is not his final polished draft. Not all of us might
rise/bow to such humility.

Best, Imelda, Cork.


Dear Imelda,

Thank you for your encouraging comments. Attached is the Microwave
Bioeffect Congruence with Schizophrenia paper with Table. You may send
it to whomever you will, though I have not formally copyrighted it yet,
it is more important to get the information out. Thank you especially
for the more academic people to send it to. I hope to more fully respond
later. Will send the Remote Behavioral Influence Technology Evidence in
another email. Thanks.

NEWS: Psychiatrists answer hunger strike, again
--------------------------------------------------
Hi Klaus: I am forwarding the second statement, dated September 26,
2003, by the APA (American Psychiatric Association) to MINDFREEDOM
association in which the APA addresses major challenges to its treatment
of mental illness. A full account is available on
http://www.MindFreedom.org.

My comment: The content of the APA statement raises many questions in
light of the detailed research presented by John J. McMurtrey in the
draft of his paper, "Microwave Bioeffect Congruence with Schizophrenia."
The most obvious question is: how can John have shown so unequivocally
from a huge trawl of the scientific, medical and technical literature
(and the original sources are presented by him in 233 endnotes that
anyone is free to check out) that myriad observable bio changes do occur
and yet the APA write of a "lack of a diagnostic laboratory test capable
of confirming the presence of a mental disorder"? Comments from your
group regards this would be most welcome.

May I also add that I think it would make a tremendous difference to all
if the term Mental Disorder were changed to Mental Reordering. And
indeed, that may also reflect with greater accuracy what exactly happens
to the minds/brains of many of those who are affected by EMF emissions.
It IS a reordering of the mind/brain. I am rushing here so can't develop
this
further right now.

Best, Imelda, Cork.

Love Sickness
-----------------
The article "Love Sickness" by Brian Deer, in yesterday's--28/09/03--THE
SUNDAY TIMES (Magazine section, pages 42-50) highlights once again the
self-serving pharmaceutical trend to pathologise what really may be just
normal/healthy preferences in social behaviour and states of
contentment. The medical doctor leading this campaign is, Dr. Rosemary
Basson. She is well-funded by pharma money to promote the reality of a
female sexual disorder/disease whose dominant symptom is that the female
patient has no interest in sex.

Brian Deer points out "For hospital ethics committees to approve
new-product trials, they must first have a disease for the product to
treat. No disease, no treatment. End of story. But if the campaign
Basson launched to change definitions succeeds, sexual interest disorder
becomes a bona-fide problem to which remedies may be properly
addressed." And he discloses that a major concern he has is that "the
British doctor may be pathologising healthy women, and bringing medicine
where it doesn't belong."
