The Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation (CERA)
Over the past five years CERA has received an increasing number of calls from tenants being made ill from the poor indoor air quality in their apartment buildings. Most of these clients have a condition called Multiple Chemical/Environmental Sensitivities that makes them particularly sensitive to contaminants in the air. In the process of advocating on behalf of these individual clients, we realized that a more systematic approach was needed. With funding assistance from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, CERA launched HomeSafe, an initiative to educate tenants and multi-unit housing providers on strategies to improve indoor air quality and create healthier living environments. We are currently in the process of developing a voluntary set of guidelines for housing providers and an associated resource guide.
The judicial council of the Drôme accused them to occupy of private land
valence / Saoû
The 14 electro-hypersensitive (EHS) installed in the forest of Saou will find another shelter. The judge rendered his decision yesterday and left them five weeks after the notification of the decision to leave.
The General Council of the Drôme, owner, had accused of illegal occupation of a protected natural site. At the hearing ten days ago, EHS had requested asylum Didier Guillaume, President of the General Council Drôme, explaining that the forest was one of the few places untouched by the Drôme electromagnetic fields. Yesterday Serge Sargentini representing EHS, called the decision "no bacon or pork (quick translation...). There is not even a financial penalty. If EHS leave, they will go elsewhere anyway. It is a matter of survival. "
"There are government services, the Ddass, a Minister of Health"
And the latter to turn to Royanne Patrick, vice president of the council and Isabelle Elzière-Delalle, Chief of Staff of Didier Guillaume, to request an appointment to find a new place. But the interlocutors have to understand that this was not within the competence of the Department: "There are government services, Ddass, a Minister of Health, noted Patrick Royanne.
It is truly a national and international cause not a battle in the Drome area.
The EHS have until early September to find a new site away from electromagnetic fields.

'The syndrome describes ARTAC intolerance to electromagnetic fields
Professor Belpomme has indeed received in consultation at the European Hospital Georges Pompidou in many patients suffer called electro-hypersensitive (EHS) in recent months. These are real patients with severely disabling symptoms related to EMC, which make life impossible ...
In the continuity of Appeal of Paris and its various recommendations, ARTAC research has focused on the study of health effects, particularly carcinogens, chemical pollution. But the patients remain at the heart of his struggle. However, chemical pollution is now accompanied by electromagnetic pollution.
We had suspected for several years the carcinogenic role of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from reading the various scientific studies, including those of Professor Lennart Hardell, who was invited to attend the 2nd Conference of the Paris Appeal to UNESCO in 2006, and with whom we have established a scientific collaboration.
There are indeed two types of cancers where the role of EMF is demonstrated: acute leukemia occurring among subjects living within 200 meters of a power line and tumors of the brain in subjects who used a mobile phone at least one hour per day for over ten years.
In the first case, the causal link is strongly suggested due to a "dose effect" demonstrated by a meta-analysis of several epidemiological studies: more distance from the power line, the greater the risk of leukemia decreases. But it is still above normal at least 600 meters.
In the second case, the associative link was much more difficult to identify, given the long latency period (the exhibition spans over ten years).
However, toxicological and biological data as outlined in the report of international consensus "BioInitiative" provide additional indirect evidence of a possible causal link. This is also what we suggested in two articles written in collaboration with Lennart Hardell.
Today, we must go further and go beyond oncology.
Professor Belpomme has indeed received in consultation at the European Hospital Georges Pompidou in many patients suffer called electro-hypersensitive (EHS) in recent months. These are real patients with severely disabling symptoms related to EMC, which make life impossible, frequently resulting in job loss, the overriding need to protect themselves from EMC - ubiquitous in our environment - and often change their place Residential or transform into a true "Faraday cage", without counting the societal problems of any kind that entails.
Focus on patients:
On behalf of the Hippocratic oath ARTAC therefore initiated an urgent research in these patients by setting up a working group including several doctors and consultants in radiation physics. This resulted in the clinical description of a syndrome of intolerance to electromagnetic fields (SICEM) and exploring different avenues for the diagnosis of this syndrome.
The scientific work of ARTAC beginning to be recognized by the public authorities of our country, following the growing scientific reputation ARTAC at European level.
Dr. Philippe Irigaray, Research Coordinator of ARTAC, was heard by January 6, 2009 AFSSET about links between cancer and environment, and Prof. Belpomme will be on January 28 next EMC.
Important
The ARTAC more than ever need your support to ensure the independence of its research!
I would like to provide some information about the potential significance of this for those of you who may never have heard of Mary McBride. She has worked on many important panels and studies: Interphone Study with Daniel Krewski, Health Canada's Royal Panel to review the adequacy of Safety Code 6; Industry Canada's Antenna Siting Policy, just to name a few. Many of the studies upon which she has worked have been funded to a significant degree, if not entirely, by the telecommunication industry.
Her stance with regard to electromagnetic radiation has consistently been one in support of industry. For example, she has attended meetings at schools where parents are expressing concerns about proposed cell transmitters on or near the school. She has appeared as the lone representative, the expert, who has reassured parents that there is no known evidence of harm or danger cell transmitters. One such meeting in Surrey, BC, is on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvYtXSaVV-c

Subject: A word to the wise....
Under any other circumstances, I would begin by saying: "What were you thinking, Ms. Mary McBride? What in the world were you thinking?"
But knowing your many years of involvement in the academic community, I must assume that you have a perfectly reasonable explanation. I just can't imagine what it could be. So I'm asking, help me out here.
For years you have been an avid supporter of the wireless communications industry. For years that support was given an enormous amount of weight by virtue of your academic credentials. But it turns out that for years that weight, that respect, has every appearance of being undeserved. Though you have been publically identified as Dr. Mary McBride since 1997, according to the academic status attached to your publications, you are not Dr. McBride at all. Your highest academic degree is listed as a Master of Science.
I have been connected to the academic world for decades, Ms. McBride, and, as we both know, this cannot be trivialized as a mere breach of etiquette. Not only has this apparent misperception been allowed to gain credence, it's been allowed to fester and grow for well over thirteen years. Plain and simple, Ms. McBride, this is academic fraud. So this has to be accounted for.
Without an accounting, I know how this will be perceived, Ms. McBride. It will be said that it matters not at all that in your research papers your academic credentials are properly identified, if in all matters outside the parametres of those papers the perception is allowed to continue that you have an academic background that you do not. No comment will be necessary, then, about your ability as a research epidemiologist. It will be said that you have done that yourself by assuming the mantle of scholarship rather than earning it.
Without a clarification that I am sure you can provide, this perception of academic dishonesty will cast a pall on every bit of research with which you have been involved. Your colleagues will feel they deserved better. Indeed, the entire scientific community will feel it deserved better. Your every claim to scholarship, your every claim to academic status, will carry with it the admonition: "caveat emptor", let the buyer beware.
A case in point, Ms. McBride: despite your lacking a PhD, the Canadian Cancer Society alleges that you are an Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia. That institution denies that connection.
I'm sure you have a perfectly acceptable explanation for this confused state of affairs, Ms. McBride. Would you do me the kindness of offering it now?
Dennis Noble
Tonight at 6:14 on CTV news, Mary McBride was "outed" for not being a doctor while being listed as such on the Canadian Cancer Society's webpage. She said that she wasn't aware of how she was listed that way - meanwhile, as recently as May 17th she was referred to as Dr. McBride on the CTV website in a print story (which I believe was deleted today). Kudos to Sharon Noble for pursuing this! Hopefully this will air later tonight again.
And now the Canadian Cancer Society is now on the hot seat for this as well. Ms. McBride was a co-researcher on the Interphone Study.
I wonder if any of the mainstream media will ever put 2 and 2 together when they see TELUS's $1,000,000 gift to the BC Cancer Agency listed in their 2009 Annual Report and wonder if it influenced Dr. McBride's or the BC Cancer Agency's advice on cell phones and cell towers. How can they be impartial in face of over $1M in funding?
Many of you have seen this 2004? YouTube video of Sullivan Heights School fighting a cell tower and Ms. McBride saying that there was no convincing evidence that cell towers cause harm (or some version of that gobbley gook):
Can you imagine parents thinking "well if a doctor from the BC Cancer Agency says cell phones are OK for kids (and cell towers) the they must be!"

Ph.D is just a word
One more question- if that is what the cancer society in Canada does - invents degrees in order to get things advanced better, what else do they do that we don't know? Inventing a Ph.D is quite a task, and to think they got away with it for 14 years and she did not even feel uncomfortable with it until the TV got involved.

Subject: Where is the outrage?
Where is the outrage when a prominent researcher for the BC and Canadian Cancer Society has admitted to allowing herself to be misrepresented as having a PhD for more than 14 years? Why aren't people demanding a review of her work and the decisions to which she has contributed? If she has been dishonest about her credentials isn't it likely she has been dishonest in her work?
Mary McBride has participated in many important panels and studies which affect us all. She was named to the prestigious Royal Society of Canada and participated in the review of Safety Code 6, for Health Canada, approving the extremely high amounts of radiation we can be exposed to by cell phones, transmitters, etc. She participated in development of Industry Canada's Antenna Policy, determining that transmitters could be placed near homes, schools and hospitals, and that the public need not be informed. She was a member of the team working on the Interphone Study which, according to most scientists, was a poorly done, using faulty assumptions and unrealistic parameters. I am sure there have been more, through the Cancer Society of which I am not aware.
This is the same Mary McBride, while working at the BC Cancer Centre with children, who reassured concerned parents that cell transmitters on schools were safe. She said this while being fully aware of many studies done by independent scientists showing radiation from these transmitters pose serious health threats, especially to children.
Why aren't people demanding that these studies and their results be reviewed? If one person with questionable integrity participated, perhaps others did. In fact, many involved in these important decisions have direct ties to the telecommunication industries -- receiving funding both directly and indirectly. If due diligence was neglected in selecting researchers, confirming educational qualifications and ensuring no conflict of interests, aren't the results highly questionable? Why do these very same individuals work together on panels and studies relating to wireless devices, over and over again? Could it be because they keep coming up with the same results, the same results the corporations want?
Where are the investigative journalists who should be looking into this, who would have in years gone by? Are corporate interests at work here as well?
The lack of outcry over this deception seems to be a sad commentary on our current society. We've grown accustomed to people misleading us, to products making us sick, to our governments not protecting us. As a consequence we've stopped being shocked or angry when we learn that our water is no longer fit to drink, our air is filled with carcinogens, and our homes are radiated by transmitters.
This apathy is what the corporations depend on -- and we get what we deserve. Reseachers who lie to us, often in return for research dollars spent on providing results the corporations want. Being told that we need devices like WiFi and cellphones even though the corporations know the inherent dangers, and even though there is safe technology that would do the same job but it costs the corporations more in infrastructure. And, don't forget, our governmental agencies which depend on corporate financing, such as licensing fees from telecommunication companies which amount to billions of dollars a year. Health Canada will assure everyone that their guidelines are adequate to protect us, even though they are among the worst in the world, and despite thousands of studies showing otherwise rather than risk this income.
Without outrage what kind of world are we leaving for our children and our grandchildren?
Outraged!

Interphone led to the first lawsuit in Israel: phone and cancer
A father of five filed a lawsuit a week ago after he heard of the interphone results. He has agressive lymphoma, went through chemotherapy. During his calls he felt his ear was heating, afterwards the area near his ear was blown 2.5 years ago, and he was diagnosed with cancer. He has experts opinions, one of them is of oncologist prog Shmuel Ariad, who wrote that he had several causes together, and a causal relationship can be drawn between his lymphoma and the use of the phone. Manager of oncology in the hospital Soroka in Beer Sheva prof Reuven Hod wrote that the cancer arrived on the after excess exposure from the mobile phone, to which he was exposed during two years before appearance of the disease. The suit claims that companies did not warn the public properly and that he tried several times to understand from them what the levels of the phone are and he did not receive an answer. Orange in reply said they would respond when they learn the suit, in court. Today he was supposed to talk on the radio but at the last moment they brough an oncologist who ruled out the relationship - Dr. Noa Ben Baruch. She represents the chemical factories in another lawsuit filed by fishermen with cancer who say the chemical factories spilled their chemicals into the water and this was the reason for their cancer, so she spoke on the radio instead of the cancer patient. The cancer patient ordered a check of radiation and understood there is a problem with the radiation level from his phone, he is a lawyer and he filed the suit though lawyer Gideon Pener. It is not said in the article how many lawsuits were filed following the interphone.
I received confirmation in writing from the government department concerned (GDARD in my story) that they are prosecuting 30 illegal masts, as I stated, which I only had over the telephone -- so everything in there is correct.
Olle Johansson told me he was the first person to point out that this microwave radiation of populations is "the biggest experiment ever carried out on the human race". To my knowledge, this criminal case I lodged is the first time someone has used this Nuremburg Code to refuse to be used in such an experiment. I would be interested to know if you are aware of other cases. I do feel this is a very powerful "golden bullet" that can be used legally around the world, and I hope other people pick up on this.
Sein Einfluss erstreckte sich nicht nur in den französisch-sprachigen Raum, sondern auch in den englisch-sprachigen Teil der Welt, in den er zahlreiche Kontakte über E-mails unterhielt. Er beendete seine Mails stets mit dem Notruf der Funker: Mayday, Mayday. Wie recht er hat! Ich habe ihn letztes Jahr kennen gelernt und war beeindruckt, mit welcher Energie er sich seinem Thema widmete und welches Wissen er zusammen getragen hatte. Seine Kenntnis der Literatur zu Mobilfunk war wirklich unschlagbar. Ihm war völlig klar, was ihm selber passieren konnte, aber er blieb unbeugsam und kompromisslos in seinem Kampf. Das machte ihn sicherlich einsam, wie viele elektrosensible Kämpfer.
Erschüttert über Philippes Schicksal und voller Bedauern über den Verlust, den dies für die mobilfunkkritische Bewegung bedeutet,

Obituary Philippe Hug
As I met him last year, I was impressed by his energy and his ideas. His knowledge of the literature on mobile telephony was unrivalled. He had many contacts, not only in Switzerland, but to people all over the English speaking world, too. He used to end his letters with: Mayday, Mayday, the emergency signal of the radio operators. He is right!
He was fully aware of what might happen to him soon, a seriously sick electrosensitive person, but he kept fighting uncompromisingly which might have contributed to his rather lonesome life, besides the EHS condition.
Shocked by Philippes destiny I am regretting the bereavement for the EMF critical asociations too.
