Where do we live?

Hi Dorothy,

You are interested to know about Israel - Actually there is something to
tell, I've just read now - after an atricle about power lines in a
health magazine, some people reacted and told their stories with power
lines:
One woman wrote that her sister got twice leukemia - the second time she
died. There were power lines near them, and she connects it to the power
line now. Another one told that on her street, with massive power lines
that it's not logic to have such like them near residents - 4 people
have cancer at the same street. Although the residents told this to the
local council- they were ignored. The council told the magazine that the
electricity company pressures not to do anything about it.

People could make a connection to the illness thanks to the article.
But the article cited the head of radiation department in the government,
saying that if there was something proven that magnetic fields at
levels of 3-4 mG cause danger, he would lower the standard. He added
that anyway leukemia is a disease that is easy to cure, and that the
illness rate of leukemia is half a case for a year.

At the same article a doctor said that leukemia is the most common
disease in children, and another doctor said they fight it hard.
Anyway the article was enough to open some's people eyes, and it's the
most important thing.

I would like to draw the attention to 3 things I see again and again,
that I think prevent public from taking actions, and prevent them from
thinking in other direction from what they are used to:

A. Cancer is normal, exposure to carcinogenes is justified. When this
"expert" says that leukemia is actually not so serious disease, that
reminds me of a doctor who said on the television that today a breast
cancer is easy to cure. (something like a flu?) He said it because
doctors give to women carcinogenic hormones that cause agressive breast
cancer. So they make it legitimate to expose people to carcinogenes by
moving the weight to the "easiness" of diseases that people die of, with
metastasis.

I have to ask - where do we live, that it is normal to cause people
cancer, and then say that cancer is not really a serious disease. What
kind of normes do people grow to live in? Is that a wonder that people
are so blocked when they hear that something is dangerous (GMO food,
pollution, cellular phones, chemicals, hair dyes, etc) and they will
just say: "Everything makes cancer, but we only live once, we have to
enjoy"- they won't even try to change it, to resist it, to protest that
this is how they are being treated - they see this as NORMAL !! Because
that is how they are educated.

B. Blaming our "Bad Genes" - a distraction.
The second thing is that when people get cancer, they are told that
reasons for cancer are unknown, but it is mostly because of their
genetics. The genetic industry is very successful. You can buy your
genes map and give it to the employer, "the future is in the genome map"
they will say, you can buy the biotechnology drugs, etc. again we serve
the industry: the genetic industry. It is all very perfectly planned for
their interests. Genetics is only 1%-5% of the cancer causes.

But What about US? On one hand they mess up our genes, and on the other
hand they will blame cancer on our genetics - not on any carcinogenic
exposure.

The World Health Organization WHO published a report lately, where it
states that in the future the cancer rate will be much higher.(but WHY?
they don't they say WHY it will be higher !) The report says that if we
want to avoid cancer, what we have to do is this:
1. not smoke
2. eat "RIGHT" (ignoring that our food is threatened by the GMO and the
chemicals they spray - just eat "balanced" and you will not need vitamin
supplements...)
3. do sports.

That's it. So all the industries can continue polluting the air - water
- food, add electromagnetic radiation, and it doesn't have anything to
do with cancer. And we can stay passive. In Israel this report is cited
now in the newspapers, over and over again to "explain" the people. This
way people are distracted not to think that there is a link between
environmental toxins and cancer. They will just do their thing - some
exercise, some balanced food and non smoking. But guess what - they are
still at risk for cancer. and not because of their "fate".

That's sad. Very sad. But it also points on the problem - people need to
get free from this wrong education.

C. The winner takes it all, the looser standing small.
The third thing is that the industry people do not win the game - they
just think they win.
- They are eating the soup they cook.
- Their genes are no different from ours.
- And they are physically at the same environment.

The industry people are hurt even quicker than the public:
They have higher exposure standards but they are not protected - they
get diseases from EMR, chemicals, etc. The "big sharks" who think every
problem can be solved with money, go in the country, travel abroad, in
other words they walk in the EMF cloud themselves. They talk on the
phones, they cannot get away from the electromagnetic soup they cook for us.

So they are not too clever, but we don't have to suffer because of their
stupidity.

To Whom It May Concern
-----------------------
My name is Angela Olstad and I am one of the many people in the
Melrose-Mindoro School District who are feeling better because of the
recent electrical clean up. This problem is known as electrical
pollution or "dirty" electricity. I suffered for 3.5 school years with
unexplainable health conditions. The most frightening included numbness,
exhaustion, severe headaches, double vision, and memory loss. I went to
see a neurologist. After two MRI's of my brain and many other tests, I
was diagnosed with benign MS. Benign MS, which I believe, is a term
given when no other answer can be found.

To clean up the electrical pollution the electricians rewired the
computer lab and put filters into the many outlets throughout our
building. This took a few days and the costs were minimal. Yes, it was
that easy. However, the demand on electrical wiring is getting greater
everyday, everywhere. Our school, for example, is 36 years old. The
wiring in those days does not stand up to the demands of today.

Since feeling better I have decided to learn more about this very
serious problem. I have spent much of my summer reading peer reviewed
reports, EPA reports and books. I realize now how endless these reports
are and how the right people are not acknowledging they've read them.
While working with Mr. Dave Stetzer I've found an endless supply of sad
and happy stories.

I've worked with children for 14 years. The children in my school are
now learning in the safest environment possible. I want all children to
have the opportunity to learn without worrying about suffering the
consequences of electrical pollution. Every night I go to sleep and hope
tomorrow the electric companies do something about this problem.

If you would like more information about this problem see-

http://www.electricalpollution.com/
http://www.stetzerelectric.com/

I hope this information is helpful in your search to help others who are
suffering needlessly.

I have attached an article I wrote that will be included in the WI
Teacher magazines this fall, and a letter from our school nurse.

If I can be of any help please feel free to email me.

Thank you,

Angela Olstad

Many people in the Melrose-Mindoro School District are feeling better
because of the recent electrical clean up in our schools. This problem
is known as electrical pollution. The staff suffered from unexplainable
health conditions for years. The list of symptoms includes: fatigue,
memory loss, facial flushing, rashes, headaches, numbness, eye
irritation, depression, sleep disturbances, double vision, asthma
difficulties, sinus infections, bronchitis, loss of taste and smell.
These health conditions began when school started and gradually went
away throughout the summer months.

Mr. Dave Stetzer, a power quality manager, was hired to evaluate the
electrical condition of our schools. He found many problems in the
electrical system. The ubiquitous meter readings should have been zero,
but our school had numbers as high as 150+. Dr. Martin Graham a
professor from University of California, Berkeley has defined ubiquitous
pollution.

Dr. Neil Cherry a professor from Lincoln University says a safe level of
exposure to RF (radio frequency) is zero. To clean up the electrical
pollution the electricians rewired the computer lab and put filters into
the many outlets throughout our building. This took a few days and the
costs were minimal. Yes, it was that easy. The readings in the building
are now averaging 15 or below. An acceptable level could be below 20.
The Mindoro Elementary School, for example, is 36 years old. The wiring
in those days does not stand up to the demands of today. The demand on
electrical wiring is growing rapidly everyday, everywhere.

Mr. Stetzer has also evaluated the electrical condition for
Blair-Taylor, and Brighten Schools. These schools are now living the
benefits from their electrical clean up. Problems were also found in the
Marshfield and Spencer School Districts.

The results are incredible- healthy people! Staff attendance has
improved greatly, and students are now being called their right names.
Every symptom above is gone or has improved significantly. Once again we
enjoy teaching.

The students are also benefiting from the electrical clean up. The
school nurse has documented no need for the commonly used asthma
nebulizer and inhaler use is down. In addition the attitude and effort
of the students has improved.

It is important that if you or others you know are having these same
symptoms that you do something about it. Do not let these problems ruin
your life. The Melrose-Mindoro School District is very lucky, the school
board and superintendent came to us with this information. In order to
get the help needed talk to your school administrators about electrical
pollution until they listen. Do the research and know the facts.

Yes, electrical companies deny this is happening, but soon they will
have to open their eyes and admit there is a problem. People are
suffering for no reason. Are you one of those people? Electrical
pollution can be cleaned up and help is available, affordable and
necessary. Do not let another day go by without doing something to help
yourself and those around you. Insist that your schools get checked for
electrical pollution so you can start feeling better today. Your health
can improve that quickly, ours did.

To Whom It May Concern:

Angela Olstad asked me to document some of the health changes I have
noticed in myself during my time at Mindoro Elementary.

I am the reading specialist at Mindoro Elementary. I have worked in this
position for the past 10 years. Traditionally I have experienced
fatigue, headaches, stress, and general feelings of malaise throughout
the school year, with the end of the year being the most unpleasant.
These changes were pronounced enough to prompt my husband to comment
each year that when June came around he would get his "real wife" back.
And he was right because after being out of school for a short period of
time, the symptoms would disappear only to reappear over the course of
the falling school year. I have always attributed these symptoms to job
stress; however, at the end of this year, I do not feel ill at all
despite having many of the same, plus some additional, situations to
deal with. I now have the energy to complete my tasks at work and enjoy
my evenings.

I began noticing a change in myself in January. As a Title I teacher I
conduct three parent teacher conferences throughout the school year.
Conferencing can be a tiring experience; in the past I remember leaving
the school feeling extremely exhausted and headachy. Knowing how I would
feel at the end of the night I would dread having to spend the extra
time in the building in the evenings for conferences. After the January
conferences I was pleasantly surprised to notice that I did not have the
same level of fatigue that I usually would; I was tired, but not wiped
out. I also was able to concentrate much more easily than I had been at
the November conferences or conferences in previous years. I wasn't sure
what had made the difference, but it was a very pleasant change. The
same was true at the March conference times.

I have not changed my work habits or anything in my personal life that
would contribute to these changes I have noticed.

If you would like to contact me to personally discuss these comments
feel free to call me at school 857-3410 or at home 781-3843.

Sincerely,

Constance M. Alvin

North East Wales Mobile antenna plan defeated

The antennas could have been put up within the Flexsys site

People living near a factory where it was proposed to erect three mobile
phone antennas have won a planning battle against phone giants 02.
Wrexham councillors refused the application at a meeting on Monday
because of health fears over the plan.

The company wanted to put up the antennas on top of a building in
Flexsys, a rubber chemical firm in Cefn Mawr.

Last Thursday more than 30 residents marched to the plant, which employs
200 people, to voice their concerns. With banners flying, they then
asked to speak to manager Russell Owens about the proposed development.
He accepted their letters outlining their fears and he told BBC News
Online that the company were neither for or against the scheme.

Jan Morris, who has lived in Cefn Mawr for 25 years, said local people
were not against the phone antennas but they did not want them placed
near to houses. She said she was concerned about the possible health
implications.

Local county councillor, Warren Coleman, has said that he would support
the application if it meets with the advice from the Welsh assembly on
health matters.

Thank you! Gracias! Obrigado! Danke Sehr! Grazie! Merci!

We are most grateful to those thousands of friends residing in more than
120 countries across five continents, who adhered to the recent message
sent by Unidad Cubana, addressed to 100 world leaders on behalf of Cuban
political prisoners. From Havana, via telephone, Elsa Morejon, wife of
Cuban political prisoner Dr. Oscar Biscet, sent a moving message of
gratitude. Though we were unable to make direct contact with family
members of Martha Roque, we learned that communist authorities were
forced to provide her with, at least, minimum medical assistance that
was being denied as she was transferred to a Military Hospital where she
remains in critical condition. Providing information worldwide of the
tragedy Cuban political prisoners are suffering helps to protect their
physical integrity though it might not obtain their much desired
freedom. The communist regime is very much aware that the eyes of the
world are presently on Cuba. Once again, we offer our gratitude. To
continue receiving updated information concerning the state of health of
these and other Cuban political prisoners, you may write to Unidad
Cubana amigos@unidadcubana.com or Mrs. Laida Carro joseito76@aol.com

A marine wonderland under threat

The Australian Government recently released a draft plan
proposing to zone 32.5% of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park as a marine
sanctuary. Currently marine sanctuaries - places where commercial and
recreational fishing are prohibited - comprise only 4.6% of the Marine Park.

WWF-Australia, with Panda Passport holders, has long campaigned that
this is completely inadequate to keep the reef safe from the range of
threats it faces, and is pleased that the draft plan has significantly
increased protection for the reef.

However, WWF has some key concerns about the Government's draft plan,
including:

- many turtle nesting sites and areas of dugong habitat remain
under-protected
- sea floor trawling, a practice that destroys up to 10 times more
marine life than is harvested, remains permitted along large parts of
the coastline and between a number of reefs
- many special and unique sites are lacking the protection they require

WWF believes that to help ensure the reef is healthy for future
generations to enjoy, around 50% of the Marine Park should be declared
a marine sanctuary.

Establishing such a large network of marine sanctuaries has never been
attempted before, and this plan could set a new benchmark for marine
conservation that will have global significance.

Achieving WWF's goals and turning this plan into law will not be easy,
however you can help to make it a reality. Please make a submission to
the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority calling for around 50% of
the Marine Park to be declared a marine sanctuary.

Submission deadline is August 4 2003.

Your time and effort is greatly appreciated.

The insidious truth about "non-lethal" weapons
Seattle Times
by Joshua Ortega

"We have fully entered the era of doublespeak that George Orwell warned
us about over 50 years ago. We numb ourselves to the reality of our
actions with euphemisms, and we intentionally manipulate language to
pretend that everything we do is for the good of humanity, rather than
acknowledging that sometimes we're doing it for higher profits or more
power." (07/27/03)
