Dear Philippe: Thank you
for your assessment re WHO, EMF, science and Repacholi. My time is
very limited for the next week -- we will be going away for several days
-- and I am working on another important aspect of EMR
exposure that I will be posting hopefully before we leave --
but, I want to add to your heartfelt comments, that it is my opinion, any and
all studies that are rely on magnetic field measurements in
homes, schools, offices, etc., while important as "investigative
infomation and investigative tools," will never allow for conclusions re
causation.
I was reviewing a report I came
across yesterday that mentions measuring ambient magnetic fields in homes and
also in bedrooms and even "over pillows." I am not
recalling right now and it may be one of the items you are referring
to.......anyway, the report, like many others, alludes to the fact that something
may be missing (re the evaluation, etc.).......
It is true that an electric clock measures
200.0 mg over the mechanism in the clock and/or the electric meter, and that
the magnetic field "over pillow" may be as low as 1.5 mg to 2.0 mg
assuming the clock is fairly close to the head of the bed, but there is a
whole lot more involved than the "magnetic field," itself.
The only way this issue is going to be
resolved without doing the sort of studies Olle is waiting for funding to do
(white blood cells -- lymphocytes, neutrophils, chymase, tryptase, histamine,
etc.) re close, chronic, prolonged EMF/EMR exposures, is for researchers to use
the gaussmeter and other measuring devices as "investigative tools"
-- locating bad wires, currents on waterpipes -- documenting and moving
electrical and telephone items away from beds -- checking rooms on other side
of bed for appliances, etc.and at the same time, documenting health problems of
persons sleeping close to such items with follow-up re improvement in symptoms.
In other words, while the ability to measure magnetic fields is important,
magnetic fields can not be relied upon when it comes to determining levels of
harm due to EMF/EMR exposures.
I am working on promoting investigations
here in my area through parent-teacher involvement. Basic knowledge
regarding moving electric items and telephone equipment away from beds will be
provided by a simple brochure/flyer to teachers and parents. Teachers can
even do this as a school project. In each instance, the school nurse or a
counselor can be person in charge of accumulating the data. A volunteer
group of parents and teachers can assist students and/or a parent-teacher
group. Childlren (age appropriate) can even make graphs after being
provided with statistics re the various electrical items that are moved away
from beds and also document various details such as improvement in sleep,
headaches, asthma, sinus infections, ear infections. While such data may
be subjective, I believe very strongly that the results of such efforts will
quickly reduce the need for many "objective tests" because the
children will not need to have nearly as many doctor appointments.
One of my grandsons never saw a
doctor for at least 2-1/2 years after he got well when his bed was moved away
from wall opposite electric meter. He continues to live in a
neighborhood with a high voltage powerline about 175 ft. away -- "ambient
magnetic fields between 1.0 mg and 2.0 mg -- there is a radio tower in the area
and numerous cellular antennae are within walking distance of their
house. He takes melatonin before bed more often lately because he
has ES symptoms since increasing his computer time -- constantly plays computer
games -- but was "hit and miss" for many years re supplements and did
not take them at the time he improved after moving his bed away from the
electric meter. Until he developed the facial redness and last
winter a sinus infection or two, he remained well for over 10 years in spite of
the other exposures including a fair amount of computer time. He does
almost nothing now except computer.....
We know my husband, Bud, has improved in
three parts of his Executive Function after moving his clock radio off his
nightstand and starting him on melatonin. Taking him off of toxic statins
that "added to the mix" has helped with additional
improvement. However, Bud still sleeps in an "ambient
magnetic field" as high as 7.5 mg the other night. He is now
said to no longer have Alzheimers. Bud also no longer uses his inhalers
-- no more asthma -- no more visits to respiratory doc -- no sinus problems we
can't stop by using Ibuprofen, saline solution and one Benadryl before bed
and that only happened twice last winter and required only 2-3 days of
intervention as opposed to what used to be week after week on
antibiotics..
Roger Coghill has done studies re close
exposures to EMF/EMR. His asphalia products offer
"radioprotectivity" -- "radioprotective
neutraceuticals......" See: www.asphalia.co.uk
and/ www.cogreslab.co.uk As with taking synthetic melatonin,
moving the electric and telephone items away from beds would still be
important -- mainly the cost of a battery-operated
clock. Melatonin is also
"radioprotective." I view these choices to be
essential toward achieving the healthiest lifestyle when combined with proper
foods and exercise. Sleep is vitally important and definitely
improves when moving electrical and telephone items away from beds. Adding
melatonin and other supplements helps restore energy necessary to deal with the
other EMF/EMR assaults. Doing these things will help in determining
"survivable distances" re telecommunications antennae, radio towers,
high voltage transmission lines, wifi, etc., if in fact, humans, animals and
bees are going to survive with "functioning
brains...." .
The situations regarding increases in
wireless in schools certainly have the potential to complicate evaluations such
as I suggest. Awareness re appliances may help parents and teachers
identify problems in the schools and data acquired within a school district by
school nurses can then be used to challenge use of wireless, create more
awareness regarding cell tower placements, high voltage line placements,
etc.
We already have decades of peer-reviewed
studies that continue to be challenged even when the studies are conclusive on
various levels. We have epidemiological studies that admit to probable
confounders not being identified.
I think it is time for the people to take
charge while still working toward obtaining funding for the sort of responsible
studies Olle Johansson and his colleagues are willing to do. Parents
and children can do what scientists apparentely can not........
I do not see this as a hopeless situation
as long as we have persons like you, Philippe, who help to
"spread-the-word!!!" Welcome back,
Olle -- take care everyone!!! Joanne
