My thanks to Rod Read for pointing out a few million problems with EMFs and microwave transmissions.

Dear both,

When an issue is as large in importance and ramifications as dealing with the favourite convenient global energy form there is an enormous embedded unconscious (often) resistance to comprehending the reality and scale of the issue.

Dr Sam Milham has shown how the rural electrification program back in the thirties correlates with Childhood leukaemia and since then we have reached in the UK a stage of 17.2 million sufferers from chronic illnesses like Parkinsons CFS/ME, Alzheimers, cancers and many others it is now becoming revealed are linked to, worsened and promoted by (but not necessarily initiated by) EMFs and microwaves.

Key seems to be melatonin reduction, and immune system damage well known to be down by half by EMFs.

As for the World Health Organization, read up on Repacholi (former head of radiation studies at WHO) and the justified, we believe, vitriol from

 Professor Andrew Marino, author of 'Electromagnetism and Life' at; Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center or at Dr Marino on Repacholi

We cannot exaggerate the damage this twisting of the meaning and place of science has done, and is doing. I will quote Marino at a little length in his calculated (libellous?) words, not ours.
Dr Marino says scathingly, and this agrees with what many of you Martin and other ES sufferers have often suspected, and some expressed:

"At the bottom of the barrel is the EMF scientist who functions as a brainwasher to deceive the public, innocent young and old alike, into giving themselves cancer and other diseases. There is no purer example of such a man than Michael Repacholi. He is at the end of a historical line of change that must be recognized before science can once again resume its task of finding the best truth possible.

Repacholi acts as if he were invested as regards the natural world with powers like those exercised by priests over souls. Amazingly, people believe the daydream that he has the ability to identify true and certain knowledge regarding EMFs. He has perpetuated this myth, with almost no critical questioning.

Not only is there the myth of Repacholi's wisdom according to which he can see through the mist into the truth of things, but also the myth that absolute truth about exactly what EMFs do and how they do it can be discerned if only we looked in the correct fashion. He has succeeded in hiding any sense of the complexity of nature, so the ordinary person does not understand that the best EMF science could ever hope to do was to produce imperfect and uncertain understanding, and to achieve knowledge about EMFs that was only somewhat better than a guess.” End.

This is unusually strong language, necessary to match the scale of distortions in public policy, and the place of ‘science’ in its formation, that Repacholi is responsible for. His trajectory from backwoods Aussie court witness to a public world face of science on radiation and EMFs can be seen as the consequence of skilful and subtle promotion by the Telcos and nuclear industry engaged in a ‘long game’, as befits its size. He has risen through successive positions of power as a placeman to now lobbying for Chernobyl radiation as ‘good for your health’ on BBC 2 ‘Horizon’ last week, so finally overreaching.(July 2006).

Jeffrey Archer might make it up, few others possess the effrontery.

 

So we deal not with a conspiracy, but some vested interests and a general reluctance to abandon old dogmatic principles of physics.

Once you know over three hundred honest rational sufferers of electrosensitivity as I do, many highly qualified scientifically and professionally, not the least flaky, then the new perspective allows everything to fall into place.

We have an enormous, denied problem crying out for serious applied research to start to come up with solutions.

So cheers, please don't bicker, be open minded - and appalled -
