Dear Klaus Rudolph
Thank you for the daily newsletters.
Regarding "Messages from Italy" 1 December, I have put my views
on the Vatican's Transmitter as a postscript to an article I wrote for
Simon Best's Newsletter which is attached.

State Ruling
Acknowledges EMF/Cancer Link

Biological Effects of Nonionizing Electromagnetic Radiation [BENER]
Digest Update, Volume 4, Number 2, 1994
On 29 June, Washington state's Department of Labor and Industries ruled
that a former smelter employee of Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation
in Tacoma was entitled to worker's compensation for cancer he claims was
caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on the job. This is
the first ruling by a U.S. government body acknowledging a link between
EMF exposure and cancer. The complaint filed by James Brewer pointed out
that eight Kaiser employees out of the 90 who worked with him in the smelter's
"pot room" had developed lymphoma or leukemia and died. Aluminum
smelting requires unusually high levels of electrical power and consequently
workers are exposed to high magnetic field levels during the manufacturing
process. In the pot room Brewer was also frequently exposed to intense
heat and noxious chemicals including benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Mr. Brewer's physician, Dr. Samuel Milham, has asserted a link between
EMF and cancer in aluminum smelters in his research. Dr. Milham studied
Kaiser's aluminum plant during the 1980s and found "way too many
cases" of leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma among workers there.
The high incidence of cancer in the Kaiser workers coincides with similar
findings in other aluminum plants. Other occupational studies, however,
including one by Southern California Edison Company on 12,000 of its electrical
utility workers, have found no unusual cancer levels among workers exposed
to EMF.
Commenting on the case, a spokesman for the Department of Labor and Industries
stated that the Department is not claiming that EMF exposure causes cancer.
Rather, the ruling resulted from a lack of response by medical claims
processors to a state inquiry for medical information. The ruling was
based on very limited information because claims processors at Alexis
Risk Management Services failed to respond to the Department's request.
Kaiser has requested a review of the ruling. Spokeswoman Susan Ash said
that Kaiser will file medical evidence in support of an appeal, and is
confident the ruling will be overturned. Kaiser has 60 days to appeal
the ruling.

Subject: Cell Phone Tower
Hi Milt
I need your help. My family have been suffering ill health as a result
of a cellular phone tower that is situated approx. 1000' from our house.
The tower, mysteriously, went up about 1.5 years ago. My 10 yr. old son
has been diagnosed with migraine headaches and has missed approx. 4 months
of school since last December. He now hears a high pitched squeal in his
head and has very little energy. He was the best athlete on any sports
team. We wonder how long he will last trying to function under these extremely
toxic conditions. My symptoms are more severe. I suffer from dizziness,
clumsiness, memory loss, confusion, anxiety, emotional upset, sleeplessness,
panicky feelings in my stomach, aches in my lower back and kidney areas,
high pitched squeal in my head all of the time, hot ears, face and neck,
sharp pains in my head, stiff joints and sore muscles. I think thats everything.
Oh, and terribly noisy digestion and strong smell. Who can help us? I'd
really like to talk with others who believe me and who can help.
Looking forward to speaking with you

Toxic exposures including
EMR (excerpt)
I just finished watching the Montel Show (Fox 9 KMSP here in the Twin
Cities of Minnesota -- Tuesday, December 3, 2002). Actress Kelly Preston
was featured under the title of "A Mother's Crusade."
Ms. Preston's two year old son was dying and she didn't know their home
was to blame!!!! Ms. Preston is married to John Travolta.
Toxicologist Michael Wisner (correct name may be R. Michael Wisner) spoke
in regard to Ms. Preston's crusade to help save children from toxic exposure.
Dr. Wisner explained how we carry toxins such as lead into our homes from
air pollution, vehicular pollution, etc. He said, "the lead (and
I assume other toxins) accumulate and/or are carried into homes on persons'
shoes." He went on to say, "this can lead to neurotoxins in
the brain......."
Dr. Wisner demonstrated how we can greatly reduce lead exposures by using
proper methods in regard to cleaning carpets such as using regular soap
instead of chemicals and a "hepa....vacuum cleaner." He
also commented on reducing carbon monoxide from gas ranges by keeping
a vent on while using the stove and also by opening a window.
Dr. Wisner went out into the yard of Montel's manager (the place from
which he demonstrated) and explained that the preservative used to treat
wood on a child's outdoor swing set, etc., is "hexavalent chromium
also known as arsenic." He recommended repainting all wooden surfaces.
All of a sudden, I heard Dr. Wisner say, "powerlines can give off
radiation just like cell phones!!!" Montel then commented "when
I use my cell phone, my head gets warm.......am I microwaving my brain?!!!"
Dr. Wisner replied, "well, it comes back to the whole subject of
toxins........if you reduce overall exposures........!!!!"
Dr. Wisner also talked about a detoxification program or study whereby
3,000 "well people" were evaluated with evidence of clearer
thinking patterns, increases in immune function and also said that the
persons appeared to be "much happier......"
Take care - Joanne Mueller
