Re: Electromagnetic hypersensitivity / need for public protection, radiation-free zones

[Guest guest]

Thanks for sending this. If enough of us send copies to our legislators maybe

something will happen.

I didn't know about the NRAO in Green Bank. I'm to the point where I can't

handle fm radio.

My son turned it on in the car & I got instant pain in the temples w dizziness.

I'm can hardly handle driving w the amount of towers  needed for 4G -every 1

mile apart. In many  many cases 2 towers wn a mile.

They also put up the  solar radiating antennas along major streets.

There has been a lot happening in the U.S. and around the world regarding

electromagnetic hypersensitivity and the need for radiation-free zones:

 

Final resolution adopted by the Council of Europe

 

On April 11, 2011, a committee of the Council of Europe had unanimously

passed a resolution calling for immediate action by its member states to

protect the public from the harmful effects of cell phones, WiFi, baby monitors

and other wireless technologies. A form of that resolution has since been

adopted by the Council's Parliamentary Assembly, and now has the authority of

the full Council of Europe behind it. Every country in Europe is a member of

the Council of Europe. Although Council resolutions do not carry the force

of law, they carry great weight.

 

The text of the resolution adopted by the Council of Europe on May 27,

2011 is here: http://assembly.coe.int/Documents/AdoptedText/ta11/eRES1815.htm.

Among other things, it recommends that member states " pay particular

attention to 'electrosensitive' people who suffer from a syndrome of intolerance

to

electromagnetic fields and introduce special measures to protect them,

including the creation of wave-free areas not covered by the wireless network. "

 

Belgian Parliament to consider official recognition of Electrosensitivity

 

On July 20, 2011, three Green Party members of the Belgian Parliament

introduced a resolution calling on Belgium to officially recognize

" electro-hypersensitivity " as an illness and a disability. Among other things,

the

resolution calls for a requirement, in public places, that zones be

established

that are free from WiFi, WiMAX, and cordless phone systems, where the use of

portable telephones would be prohibited. It also calls for courses about

environmental illness to be included in the core curriculum of medical schools.

The text of the resolution, translated from the French, is here:

EHS Refuges have been created in France and Italy

 

The first refuges for people with electromagnetic hypersensitivity have

been set up in France and Italy. Information about them, including directions,

and how to contact them and arrange for a stay, are here:

e.pdf

 (France) and

http://www.cellphonetaskforce.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/EHS-Refuge-in-Italy\

..pdf (Italy).

 

There is as yet no official EHS refuge in the United States. However, some

people have been moving to Green Bank, West Virginia, where the National

Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) is located. The observatory has a huge

radio telescope that it uses to observe radio signals from the stars. Since

radio astronomers cannot do their work if there is interference from artificial

radio waves, Congress established the National Radio Quiet Zone in 1958.

This is a land area of about 13,000 square miles surrounding Green Bank. Inside

the Quiet Zone no one is permitted to install radio transmitters that will

interfere with the operations of the observatory. In other words, radio

transmissions are not permitted to be aimed at Green Bank. The protected area is

only ten miles in diameter, but as one travels toward Green Bank the amount

of radiation gradually diminishes. Cell phones do not work there.

 

New study from Louisiana State University

 

Dr. Marino and his colleagues at Louisiana State University have

just published a study proving the existence of electromagnetic

hypersensitivity as an organic syndrome. They did a thorough medical workup on a

subject

(a female physician) who claimed to have EHS, and showed that she reacted

within 100 seconds of being exposed to low-level pulsed electromagnetic fields

with headache, muscle twitching, skipped heartbeats and other symptoms. This

was a carefully designed double-blind test, repeated many times. Although

the subject could not consciously perceive the field, her body reacted every

time it was turned on. This has just been published in the International

Journal of Neuroscience. The abstract is here:

http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.3109/00207454.2011.608139

 

Dr. Marino worked for many years with the late Dr. O. Becker,

author of The Body Electric, to elucidate some of the effects of electromagnetic

fields on living organisms. His new study has come to the attention of the

BBC News, which as a result is planning to do a story on electromagnetic

sensitivity. The reporter who contacted me plans to visit Green Bank next week.

I could hardly visit my son's school.

.. I was truthful w 1 of his middle school teachers.

I don't know what she thought, but she was understanding.

We have open house this week. I'm going to try, but might not make it. Told her

I'd sit in the back of his classes.

My son's blessed, he doesn't feel it, yet or we'd be homeschooling. Two new

towers are close, 1  under a mile from the school.  It was bad enough w stray

emfs & the florescent lights.

We deserve a safe place to live.

Hi Kathy,

 

I live in NJ where over the past year our State utility company PSE & G contracted

with Petra Solar to install 200,000 solar panels on utility poles throughout

muncipalities within the state.  In July, 2010-- PSE & G then contracted with

AT & T to have each and every one linked wirelessly to communicate through the

" smart grid. " These things can fry you up good.  I don't tolerate them very

well, but I'm doing better now that I am using the folded Sof't 'n' Safe

material by Less EMF-- this is the 50db attenuation fabric that seems to fully

shield me, but only when 2-ply. 

 

These solar panels can completely surround schools, municipal buildings,

businesses etc.

and can feel like mini-cell towers when placed in front of private homes.  They

are really nasty.

 

Is this the type of solar device which you refer?  Where are you located?

Here, here...

 

I work in schools and on the neurological unit of a hospital.  It was very

discouraging before I found relief with my Soft 'n' Safe fabric.

 

Teachers and doctors are on microwave devices like straight dope.  Aghast.
