Eileen O´Connor: Tribute to the people suffering because of Mast radiation
United Kingdom Created: 8 Sep 2005
SCRAM (Seriously Concerned Residents About Masts) - www.scram.uk.com

Please add your tribute to the growing list, find some time to read the enclosed information some of it is heartbreaking, but shows the true suffering. We will not be remembered as just another statistic.

e-mail me your thoughts, hopes and prayers, I intend on making our thoughts known to Government and will be putting them on our website. Thank you so much for your contribution.

Tribute from Eileen O’Connor
As a tribute to people throughout the world suffering from Cancer, Brain Tumours, Brain degenerative diseases, asthma and electro sensitivity. Many of these diseases are man made and many causes can be attributed to chemicals and radiation. Governments throughout the world continue to put billions of pounds before our health; many people are suffering for the sake of big business and industry at the hands of the people we elect into Government. Now it’s our chance to send a message loud and clear, it will soon be our chance to take our vote to the ballot box, question all local candidates from each political party and find out if they support your views before you make any firm decision.

I believe without any doubt that my breast cancer was brought on at the age of 38, three years ago as a result of living 100m next to a huge mobile phone mast for over seven years.

I know your suffering and I understand your fears. I constantly fear cancer returning and have had many scares since, I have thought long and hard on whether I should share my feelings with you and feel its time to represent the billions of people world wide who are going through the same fears and the same suffering.

I fear for my life and the chance to see my children grow, I recently had another cancer scare, this time my doctors thought it had travelled to my spine, towards the end of 2004 I had to undergo another series of MRI scans and bone scans. No one can tell you how frightening it is waiting for the results, no one can tell you how awful it is for your family watching you suffer and sometimes wondering whether you are about to take your last breath. My husband lay awake many nights watching me breathe when I was undergoing chemo therapy and struggling to get through, he has since told me about his fear listening to every breath I took and wondering if it would be the last. No one should suffer this torture. While laying in the MRI and Bone scanner again recently I thought about all the people throughout the world who are in the same position and about the billions of people who have sadly lost their battle. I prayed to God to help us stop this un-necessary suffering for the sake of profit. I sometimes despair and wonder if we will ever be listened to, only time will tell. It may take many years, the smoking and asbestos industries have finally been proved after many years of people sacrificing their lives.

I need your help, we need to help our selves, if you have to use a mobile phone, only use it for emergency use only and buy the lowest radiation phone on the market. Use your vote in the election wisely and question your MP’s intentions. Join the many voices fighting for life and help those who no longer have the ability to fight for their life anymore.

I am one of the lucky ones my scan results turned out to be only signs of wear and tear now I’ve reached the grand old age of 41, I hope to see my 80th Birthday “God wiling” I hope to see my children grow, to live life to the full to laugh to cry to treasure my friends and family. I will live to fight another day. Sadly some of my friends and neighbours have not been as lucky and I miss them dearly. I just know that when that day does come and I am ready to take that last breath, I hope I can look back and in the words of my favourite film say “It’s a wonderful life” and know I’ve made a difference, you can make a difference to, don’t wait like I did to get a wake up call.

I am inviting everyone to put just one sentence or short paragraph together, add you name and the area you live in, I will build up a file of quotes to go with this letter and send it on to leaders of the world. Send your quote to the SCRAM (Seriously Concerned Residents About Masts) website www.s-c-r-a-m.co.uk send this to all your friends and family.

I would like to end by saying a thank you to all the dedicated campaigners, independent scientists, the media and people in positions of power who are working hard towards a safer future and ask God to guide us and protect the vulnerable.

Best wishes and God Bess to everyone.

Tribute to People Suffering

I cried when I read Eileen’s email. Every word she said was true and from the heart. I met Eileen as a result of my only daughter aged 13 dying from bone cancer in August 2003 and there is nothing in the whole world that could be worse than watching your child suffer and taking her last breath, whilst cradled in your arms. My daughter was old enough to be frightened and pleaded to the Drs and ourselves as her parents to get her better, she loved life so much, had so many dreams and so much to live for and yet we felt so helpless and scared ourselves, we did not know what to do and put our trust and childs life into the hands of the doctors and hospitals. Our Jen asked us WHY? why did she get cancer and why are so many people being diagnosed with cancer.
I believe that Eileen and her team have found a possible cause, and this cause needs to be looked into regardless of the millions of pounds of revenue that may be lost. Millions of lives may continue to be lost unless the government act now -our children/teenagers and future generations depend on us to protect them and give them a safe environment to grow up in. We must act now before it is too late.
I would never wish for any parent to go through what we have been through and are still going through, our lives will never be the same again without the beautiful smile and laughter of our daughter, who made our lives so complete and worth living.
Please back Eileen and her team for what they are trying to achieve and fight for on behalf of families like mine.

I urge leaders of the world to place the elimination of the causes of cancer, such as mast emissions, car emissions, chemicals in food, passive smoking etc, at the front of their agenda as they do oil supplies and its sources. On the multiplication of masts, and emissions alone, we could start by setting a European standard.
If only taking account of the economics, this will save billions on health care and services, in most of the developed world.

ICNIRP guidelines are absolutely useless as only heating effects are considered.
We need a change in the law to prevent ANY masts from being erected within 500 metres of schools hospitals and residential areas. When drawing up this law, advice should be taken from EMINENT INDEPENDENT SCIENTISTS such as Dr Hyland, Dr Blackwell, Dr. Walker, Professor Coghill and Barry Trower. The views of Government career scientists and scientists working for telecom companies are biased and need to be ignored. The final decisions should be made by a committee of the above named INDEPENDENT scientists not UNQUALIFIED judges.

Dear Eileen,
Thank you for this beautiful and inspiring tribute.
I feel we have a lot in common.
Not only do I strongly agree with your principles, but I also pray for God's guidance to work towards a safer future on this issue and I would go as far as to say that I am driven to fight this cause.

Coincidentally,
"It's a Wonderful Life" is also my favourite film!
I've submitted a quote to the website.

As a seriously concerned resident against masts I believe that present cavalier attitudes regarding exposure to microwave radiation will have a ripple effect through the whole of humankind on a scale that is bigger than anyone can comprehend. We must look to the dangers now for our future survival and may God preserve us.

Dear Eileen and other members of SCRAM,

I am currently a mother of three and a very concerned resident of Kensington and Chelsea in London. The telecommunications technology has swept this generation without any real consideration of the possible dangers to our health. As someone with a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Physics from Cornell University, I am acutely aware of the power and potential of electromagnetic waves and do not believe the fields created by telephone masts, mobile telephones, and indeed wireless modems will not have any adverse effects on humans.

Sadly, the huge profits made by this industry have blinded many in the corporate world and government to any thought to these risks. There is no significant

Global scientific research into this area in spite of the pervasiveness of the technology. I urge governments to promote such research by the industry
Itself by creating more stringent requirements for planning applications. I am sure that there will be a number of ways to render this technology as safe as
Possible in the future as long as the industry is forced to make heath considerations a vital focus.

Thank you for all your good work,
Sincerely yours,

Clare Pelham

We feel that our life is in danger

We feel that our life is in danger
We lived at a distance of about 300 meters of a 4 mobile phone antennas at the water reservoir in Schöllbronn in D-76275 Ettlingen till end of 2003. The units were constructed in a short time beginning in February of 2000.
With the erection of the mobile radio-unit, began for us a terrible sorrow time.

Insomnia, dizziness, muscle cramps, heart lawn, nightly sweating and freezing, trembling at the entire body are only some examples what my wife's experience and I since then had to go through. In addition I got a Fibromyalgia and ringing in the ears through the effect of the mobile radio, my wife suffers because of the radiation of the mobile radio-unit under epileptic attacks and vertigo with several collapses yet.

We are both for some time already no longer in the situation to work. Sometimes we do not know how we yet should live on. We feel that our life is in danger and similar to your neighbour we have to leave our house we have rented for the last 8 years, because we can not pay the rent anymore and we have many debts. We don't know where to go, because we have all over these antennas and mobile phones. From 2000-2003 we lived nearby this MW broadcast tower and we got EHS. Since the end of 2003 we live in a flat but we have the same problems because of our EHS we got since 2000.

After and after we learned that many other citizens are concerned in similar manner.
All efforts to move the operators to a dismantling of the units or to an attitude of envoy activity, remained without success, also the lawsuits we undertake to force the mobile phone operators to end their work of destruction. All that and many useless shielding actions cost many money.

There is little help from anybody, although our story is well known in Germany and elsewhere. And there are many similar cases in Germany and around the world. There had to be funds and places for us tortured victims, but nobody is caring, especially not our governments and the mobile phone industry which is responsible for our damages.

Hi Klaus: On Friday, June 6, 2003 THE IRISH TIMES

published on page 13 a full page poignant article "Living in the Shadow of Death" by Caitriona Crowe whose brother died of an epileptic seizure just a year ago. We know that one of the severest symptoms for a number of us who are EHS (electrohypersensitive) are seizures of various intensity. As I have disclosed on numerous occasions (most recently, in my report of the COST 281 Worskhop, posted at C.I.Omega for 20/5/03) I get brain seizures when falling off to sleep, following exposure to excessive EMR levels, hence my particular interest in "this mysterious illness" as Caitriona terms it.

Some points she makes that may particularly interest EHS members of your group who suffer from seizures:

A 2002 U.K. published report on epilepsy related deaths ("National Sentinel Clinical Audit of Epilepsy-Related Death") concluded that "'it was difficult to establish the true number of epilepsy-related deaths from certification data . . . Epilepsy-related death . . . is still underestimated by healthcare professionals, and this may reflect the mistaken belief that epilepsy is a benign condition. The risk of death associated with epilepsy appeared rarely to have been discussed with patients or their families.'"
Caitriona Crowe suggests that "It is crucial that healthcare professionals take the condition properly into account when treating patients for other problems and are aware of the risk of seizures and the danger they pose."

To add a few words about "this mysterious illness."

Posted for 15/2/03 on Citizens Initiative Omega is my entry captioned "an ES sufferer reports." This concerns quite an awful week I survived of RF/MW harassment following my opening of an esisreal email account with a specific Irish carrier. (Naturally, that account became quickly inactive as I wished not to be killed!) Right in the middle of that week I had one night of continuous brain seizures from the severity of the harassment. I telephoned the Irish BRAINWAVE Society (The Dublin based support group for epileptics) to let them know what was happening and I was told they knew nothing about a connection between exposure to external interference from electromagnetic sources and seizures. Hearing that, of course I sent the society quite a batch of literature. But there still is not a public word from BRAINWAVE about the connection between excessive (that is as geared to the susceptible individual's tolerance level) e-levels and their triggering seizures.
Last week, I happened to share a bus-seat with the mother of a young man who has been suffering from epilepsy for the last few years. I didn't know this when I sat beside her but I had all the details by the time we got off that bus. And I had particularly noted one fact: that a specific neurosurgeon here in Cork whom her son had consulted had warned him to stay away from electric equipment for at least a year!
She happened to mention in particular an electric hedge-trimmer that he might have used, so it was not just in case of epileptically induced seizures from flickering screen lights, etc. Nice to know that there is at least one Irish medical specialist here who will not confuse seizures triggered by the very real exposure of a susceptible/sensitive person to external EMR sources with self-induced hallucinations of being affected - that is "psychotic episodes" - as, in my very painful experience, has been the case.

Best, Imelda, Cork, Ireland

Dear Eileen
Thanks for your note “Tribute to people suffering” and I and I can fully identify with your comments and thoughts.
It does seem to me that the incidence of cancer in all its form is becoming more common, whether that is a reflection of our lifestyle or advancement in technology in identifying such illness in a debateable point.
There is no doubt that advances in technology could give greater cause for concern as advancement have over the years.
Increased technology always seems to come at a price what we should question is the price too much and are the health problems (like you) due to this increased technology.
I think we should all be concerned at the potential risks of both phones and masts especially with the young who seem to spend hours and hours using mobile phones, what happened to good old face to face conversation.
Anyway good luck with the campaign and keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Allan Naylor

Dear Eileen

I am very concerned about this whole issue. I live in Wetherby, West Yorkshire and worry every day when I see my local High school covered in masts. Also major buildings in the cantre of Harrogate covered. I totally support your campaign.
Good look in the campaign and in your life.

Hi Eileen - Reading your input I feel a tremendous surge of anger at the irresponsible way that the Government and phone companies are ignoring the evidence before their eyes. I have just heard of a colleague in my village (pop. 4,500) who is very seriously ill - something I am hearing almost on a daily basis (three people in one night recently requiring an ambulance) - with symptoms which are all linked to living near to phone masts, by dedicated independent scientists.

I came across a profound quote made by a poet and author from a century ago, Rev. J. H. B. Masterman - "How often is it still true - that what we need is not fresh evidence, but a fuller understanding of what we have already". And it is still true 100 years on! When will they learn?

What can I say? For seventeen years I have been trying to tell the world about the insidious dangers of exposure to EMF against a background of polarisation, obfuscation, procrastination and downright deception by the power utilities, the telecoms and computer industries, and the military. I am still going, and now I think we have found a way of prophylaxis. But there is still a long road ahead, and time is closing in on both me and the people. Even those most likely to benefit scarcely believe me!

Best of luck with it all, Eileen

Dear Eileen, As founder of Northern Ireland Opposed to Masts I saw first hand the suffering in communities during battles with rich powerful mobile phone companies and what they thought were their own government ignoring their wishes. I also witnessed cancer clusters near these masts, just like the ones being found in the rest of Britain. One cluster was in a rural area of County Tyrone, where a large mast cluttered with equipment was mounted at the top of a hill. At the bottom of the hill were five homes with six people of various ages with cancer. The only time their government or the phone companies involved took notice was when the people cut the mast down. Shortly after the mast was taken down I had to attend the funeral of a mother of four who had fought to prevent the mast from going back up. She was the fourth cancer death and she had buried her husband six months before with cancer. The government didn't race out to find out if their mast was involved...NO, their only concern was to try and get it back up!
Neither the government nor the phone industry cares about the damage these masts and phones are doing. They only care about the big money involved. Time after time I watched communities beg these companies to move the mast out away from people only to find the mast forced up a few nights later. The only time they take the people seriously is when their equipment hits the ground at a hundred miles an hour!
Yours sincerely,
Walter Graham

Having watched my friends and neighbours suffer and die because of this, i now hear of the problem occurring all over the country where people now suffer the same symptoms as they did. Olle Johansson needs funds to further his work, and we need to raise funds for this. Advertisements paid for, and printed in the main newspapers, and on TV is the way to shame the Government and the companies. Funds could be raised from donations asked for in the adverts and fund raisers. I would suggest tins to collect money, and the noise at supermarkets that can be heard on the acousticom as a way to raise funds.… By highlighting the truth, we can educate other people. Dr Hyland, John Walker and Graham Blakwells papers could be used as well. If Eileen and the radiation trust took this up i feel it would work. We need to stop putting faith in the democratic way forward via politicians, as there is no democracy, and it is a waste of money time and energy. By taking this into our own hands we would start to get somewhere. Exposing the lies, and embarrassing the people who are paid to protect us, is the democratic route to take now. Expose and shame is what is needed.

Man destroyeth and animals and environment suffereth.
How selfish the human race is to adopt guidelines and protection measures without any thought for the animals and environment with which we are entrusted to protect. Ask yourself if ICNIRP guidelines are inadequate to protect us, what hope lies for the wildlife in whose back yard ALL these structures are erected. The mobile phone industry tells us that exclusion zones extend out to no more than 15m from the antenna and 4.3m below the antenna, but industry forgot to tell the birds who perch upon these structures.

Per the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) 'I do acknowledge your concern and also importantly note that the Stewart Report made very little mention of any potential impact of these masts on the health or welfare of farm or wild animals living nearby, choosing to focus nearly exclusively on the perceived or potential consequences for human safety .As such this is a matter of concern and I would agree that the issue requires further closer examination'.

Per the Scottish Prevention for the Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), 'the objectives of the Scottish SPCA are to prevent cruelty to animals and to encourage kindness and humanity in their treatment. A specific policy of the Society is Conservation. Since the Society is concerned with the welfare of wild animals it deplores changes made to the environment which disturb the balance of nature. Like the RSPCA the Scottish SPCA has not had any dealings in this area, however, I feel that both the above policy statements would indicate that if full scientific evidence demonstrated a link to domestic and wild animal health and welfare then the Scottish SPCA would most definitely voice its concern.

French study shows lab rats only getting sick from cellphone radiation while surfing Mast-Victims.org website
France Created: 7 Sep 2005
A new French study, sponsored by telecoms, shows that scientists have only observed adverse radiation health effects in lab rats while subjecting them to the Mast-Victims website.

The lab rats used in the study have been specially trained by the scientists to use computers and surf the world-wide-web in order to explore the relation between the writings of anti-mast protestors and the experience of adverse health effects.

The study found that especially the most susceptible lab rats with low self-esteem, fragile and receptive to the rantings of anti-mast protestors, immediatly experienced headaches, dizziness, nausea, sleep pattern disturbances and even vomiting while being forcibly subjected to the writings on the www.mast-victims.org website.

René Russo, the general delegate of AFOM (Association Française des Opérateurs Mobiles) organization representing the French TELCOS, says that this proves his point beyond any reasonable doubt. In explanation he said:
"There are indeed, today many sick people".
"These patients exist... not because of the electromagnetic radiations but because of the fear, which you have often inspired to those people, of the pseudo harmful effects of the masts. Fragile and receptive to your speeches or your writings, these people induce, by nocebo effect, the true diseases starting from false causes."

He went on to explain his excitement and relief: "after years of cultivating naive web-surfing rats we now have proof of the harmlessness of our masts and cellphones. The symptoms are all 100% psychosomatic".

When asked about the whereabouts and condition of the lab rats, now after the research is over, Mr. Russo said: "the rats are doing fine and are recovering rapidly from their stress now that the lab computers have been disconnected from the Internet"

This study is an evaluation of the environmental sustainability of the UMTS mobile communication system in Switzerland
Switzerland Created: 7 Sep 2005
This study is an evaluation of the environmental sustainability of the UMTS mobile communication system in Switzerland

Goal, Scope and Background. Goal of this study is an evaluation of the environmental sustainability of the UMTS mobile communication system in Switzerland by means of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). A baseline environmental impact profile across the full life cycle of the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) and its predecessor, the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) is presented. The baseline assessment was a necessary first step to evaluate the environmental impacts of the mobile communication systems use and growth, thus permitting the evaluation of its environmental sustainability.

Main Features. Two functional units are defined: a data set of 1 Gbit (1.000.000 kbit), and the yearly mobile communication of an average customer. In the UMTS, both data packages and calls can be conveyed. In order to be able to standardize the results, an equivalence between these two kinds of transmission is formed.
Two different options are defined, which represent different ways of transferring the data: mobile phone to mobile phone, and mobile phone to fixed network. All components of the UMTS network like the mobile phones, base stations, antennae, switching systems and the components of the landline like cable system and switching centers, are assessed. The environmental impacts are assessed taking into account all major life cycle phases like raw material extraction, manufacturing, use, disassembly and disposal of the product and the needed infrastructure. Electronic components like printed wiring boards and integrated circuits are assessed using a simple model based on the size (for IC) or number of layers (for PWB), respectively. Mining of precious metals (gold, silver) is included.
The study was carried out by ESU-services, Motorola, Swisscom and Deutsche Telekom. Thanks to the industrial partners it can rely on primary data for the production of mobile phone and base station, and for the operation of the networks. As the UMTS network is still being built, no actual data of network operation is available. Data from the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) were used in case of data gaps.

Results and Conclusions. About 25 kg CO2 are emitted and 800 MJ-eq (non-renewable) primary energy are required for the transfer of 1 Gbit information from mobile phone to mobile phone in the UMTS network. For a transfer from mobile to fixed network, these values are 20 kg CO2 and 640 MJ-eq, respectively. On the other hand, the fixed network requires more resources like copper (0.07 kg for the mobile to mobile option vs. 0.12 kg for mobile to fixed network).
From an environmental point of view, the mobile telephone is the most important element of the mobile communication network (UMTS and GSM). The short service life of the mobile phone plays a substantial role. Increasing the utilization period of the mobile phone (e.g. by leasing, re-use, extension of the innovation cycles, etc.) could thus represent a large potential for its improvement. The second most important components are the base stations. In the assessment mainly the use phase proved to be important. The lower environmental impact (per Gbit data transfer) as compared to the mobile phone can be explained by the longer service life (around factor 8). Main impacts are caused by the electricity consumption, in particular the energy needed for cooling the base stations. By choosing an environmentally benign electricity mix and/or by increasing the portion of renewable sources of energy, the network operators have a substantial potential of lower the environmental impacts (in particular the greenhouse gas emissions) of mobile telecommunication. Furthermore, the manufacturing of electronic components, the life time of the appliances and energy consumption are key parameters influencing the environmental profile of the networks most.
Given its larger data transfer rate, the UMTS is ecologically more favorable in terms of data transfer rate than its predecessor, the GSM system. The higher energy consumption and the more complex production of the devices in the UMTS system are compensated by the faster data transmission rate. Per customer, the result is inverse, however, since the higher efficiency is compensated by the higher data communication per user in the UMTS system. The UMTS network in its state of 2004 according to the 2001 planning and with the accordingly calculated number of customers and data transfer causes 2.1 times more CO2 emissions and requires 2.4 times more (non-renewable) primary energy per customer than for the GSM system in its current state. It must be noted, however, that the UMTS technology supports other services than the GSM system. The development of the UMTS is accompanied with an increased consumption of resources and emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases regarding the entire system for mobile telephone communication.
The GSM system is a mature technology, while the UMTS is still at the beginning of its learning curve. Thus, it can be safely assumed that large improvement potentials are still present for the UMTS network components concerning expenditures and emissions both at production and by the use of the devices. This study provides the necessary information where such improvements are most effective in environmental t

There is about 3 times the average rate of Cancer. in the beam patches.
United Kingdom Created: 7 Sep 2005
Abstract
There is now very self sustaining and well agreeing information over several countries:-
To answer question 1 Is there any effect of mobile telephone base station radiation on living beings e.g. human and animal health?
There are results of ill people in houses in beam patches (7 patches) so far tested (120 ill people by 2005)
There is about 3 times the average rate of Cancer. in the beam patches.
Ill people in flats in mast beams in Midlands (600 ill people)
Ill people in a school near mast (75 ill pupils and teachers)
To answer question 2 How is the incidence of ill health related to the strength of the radiation?
In Spain Navarro & Oldfield 0.13 volts/metre for an Odds ratio of 39 for increased depressive tendency.
In UK Beam patches about 1,5 volts/metre outside correspond to about 0.5 volts/metre inside buildings
In Germany Bamberger <0.06 volts/metre give 30% illness, 0.06 -0.2 volts/metre gives 60% illness
These values are relatively close compared to ICNRP 41 volts/metre!

“An Unofficial View” of Health v Mobile phone Mast Non Ionizing Radiation September 2005
Introduction
Newspaper cuttings were collected a few years ago, of illness near mobile telephone base station masts around this country and some from Europe. The worst case was 4 cancers in 5 adjacent houses by an old mast; this seemed to be too much of a coincidence.[Evening Standard 20 February 2002] Most of the articles were followed up by a visit, to find the extent of the illnesses at each location.
A more scientific approach was needed.
It was found that three pole mast beams, 120 degrees apart, often hit the ground at a distance away from the mast equal to 10 times the height of the mast and it is here, at the area of highest field intensity, that the illness patches occur.
Question 1 Is there any effect of mobile telephone base station radiation on living beings e.g. human and animal health?
Human Data available
A HOUSES
(1) 7 patches of illness were found in the highest signal level of the radiation (non ionizing) near masts around the country. Approximate simulated average fields were used,. this is of the order of 1.5 Volts/metre.outdoors and corresponds to 0.5 Volts/metre indoors
1a) The number of ill people:-
1a1) in a single beam patch is proportional to the cumulative integrated dose of radiation received over the years e.g. 8 ill after 8 years, 21 ill after 13 years and
1a2) in a two beam crossing patch, 31 ill.after 11 years.
1b) The radius away from the mast of both beam patch and illness patch agrees well.
1c) The angular phase of the illness patch relates to the angular position of the poles of the mast e.g. 120 degrees or 240 degrees (maximum error so far only 12 degrees).
B) FLATS
600 people were found to be ill in flats which were at high field levels. Note: - in multistorey flats, each person’s rooms are all on the same side of the building, so the inhabitants cannot escape the radiation unless they sleep in the corridor!
C SCHOOLS
Surveys in schools
A survey in a Warwickshire school, close to a multi array mast 11 years old, showed the teachers to be twice as ill as the pupils (The teachers have more years at the school and therefore get a larger integrated cumulative dose of radiation) and the pupils to be twice as ill as the population in a West Midlands town with a merely 2 year old mast.
If the data answers Question 1 in the affirmative, then the next question is:
Question 2 How is the incidence of ill health related to the strength of the radiation?
The latest Bamberger study from Germany shows well (at 4 levels of radiation) the relation between the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection) Guidelines, the local Salzburg Guidelines and
the levels for 60% illness at 0.06 – 0.2 volts/metre
and 94% illness at 0.21 – 0.6 volts/metre in the 356 people studied
Note - the level in the beam patches in Question 1 is 1.5 volts per metre externally which is of the order of 0.5 volts/metre internally in houses. This agrees fairly well with the more detailed Bamberger study.
This also agrees well with the Oldfield Navarro results of 0.13 volts/metre for an Odds ratio of 39 for increased depressive tendency.
The remaining question is:-
Question 3 What are the mechanisms by which illness are caused?
If over time, radiation suppresses our nightly melatonin cycle, evolved by all vertebrae (humans and animals) etc over many millennia, then our immune system protection against cosmic rays is seriously compromised.

I have not yet found an old mast that has not got an illness patch. If you have any data which disagrees with the above, if there is any, I would be glad to receive it.

“An Unofficial View” of Official Views
About 1997, ICNIRP (International Commission for Non Ionizing Radiation Protection) took a very narrow view of the reasons for susceptibility of the bodies of living beings to Non Ionizing Radiation. They merely considered the heating effect and ignored the most important effects. They persuaded most governments and institutions with plausible arguments to their view. They did not know then what we know now. They had no feel that on this earth “we see through glass as but darkly”.
It is easy to think that, although some of us can stand a few years of radiation without any obvious effects, that there is no effect. However this is really living in myth land and ignoring what is going on.
1) An Establishment statement
The balance of evidence to date suggests that exposures to RF radiation below NRPB and ICNRP guidelines do not cause adverse health effects to the general population
This is a non quantitative statement that has been static for several years. It is more political than scientific. It is a chameleon, depending on the population which is being considered.
A) If this is applied to the general population of UK then it is apparently True. But highly diluted results are being obtained due to averaging many people outside beam patches with a few people inside beam patches.
B) But if this is applied to the general population of a Beam Patch, then it is False. The illness applies to up to 50% of the people, with an illness density of about 3 times that of the surrounding area which is at a much lower radiated field level.
2) An Establishment view
There are so many masts about that there is sure to be some coincidences with random cancer clusters.
The data on the previous page shows that mast induced illness is very far from being random and is in fact extremely determinate.
Note - if mast induced illness is random, then it is out of control of the establishment and from an economic viewpoint, then maximum wealth should be generated by the expansion of the mobile telephone industry.
3) A Consensus view.
People feel they are safer if their views agree with the “general consensus” however it is possible on odd occasions that this view may be erroneous particularly when:-
A) A new situation occurs - much higher frequency, digital, squarer waves, as compared to the old lower frequency sinusoidal waves of broadcasting.
The establishment will pretend it is not a new situation.
B) And from my work so far, I feel that ICNIRP’s decision was extremely misleading, because they had not got the data then that we have now.
The establishment will attempt to defend the old consensus by calling new scientific data merely anecdotal and by destructively fastening on unimportant points and neglecting important points.
Defence of an old consensus can be very unfair scientifically.
4) Paralysis of advancement of knowledge by cutting funding
Several scientists have said that there was no funding for key work.
1) At Universities students who wanted to do worthwhile work were dissuaded because it would be controversial (Universities depend on Government for their funding.).
2) This means that any real work must be done voluntarily by a retired scientist within the cost limits of the volunteer.
5) The Suppresion of anti policy statements has maintained the myth for several years.
6) Generalisations and logicality not rooted in actuality do not help health.


Instrumentation
The Acousticom makes one aware of radiation, but it does to a certain extent indicate the source.
However a digital frequency analyser is much more versatile and about one tenth of the cost of the old analogue versions
TheSpectran HF 6080 has a directional aerial and can detect amongst other things GSM 900, GSM1800, UMTS, Dect etc
It can be hand held and gives an Acousticom sound of the wave modulation and % of ICNIRP level as well as the spectra etc and two channel storage of signals.etc.

Chromosomal damage in human diploid fibroblasts by intermittent exposure to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields
Austria Created: 7 Sep 2005
Chromosomal damage in human diploid fibroblasts by intermittent exposure to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields.

Environmental exposure to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) has been implicated in the development of cancer in humans.
An important basis for assessing a potential cancer risk due to ELF-EMF exposure is knowledge of biological effects on human cells at the chromosomal level. Therefore, we investigated in the present study the effect of intermittent ELF electromagnetic fields (50Hz, sinusoidal, 5'field-on/10'field-off, 2-24h, 1mT) on the induction of micronuclei (MN) and chromosomal aberrations in cultured human fibroblasts. ELF-EMF radiation resulted in a time-dependent increase of micronuclei, which became significant after 10h of intermittent exposure at a flux density of 1mT.
After approximately 15h a constant level of micronuclei of about three times the basal level was reached. In addition, chromosomal aberrations were increased
up to 10-fold above basal levels. Our data strongly indicate a clastogenic potential of intermittent low-frequency electromagnetic fields, which may lead to considerable chromosomal damage in dividing cells.

( WHO bases its decision on the science)Previous earlier animal experiments already showed a dose-dependant genotoxic effect under high frequency radiation. Further, in the brains of rats increased functionless nerve cells were found after two hours of mobile phone radiation. Two corroborative epidemiological studies showed a three- to four-fold increased risk for auditory nerve cancers after ten years of mobile phone use.


Dear Mr Repacholi:

You claim that WHO bases its decisions on SCIENCE.
If that is trully the case then I would suggest that you start to look at the scientific studies that are available.
I don't mean,just the wireless industry funded studies. If you are not concerned about the preservation of adult health ,then for Gods sak ,
at least,protect our childrens health.

Vienna Doctor’s Chamber (Wiener Ärztekammer) warns of excessive mobile phone use by children.
Data for the cancer risk from mobile phone radiation are increasing new catalogue of guidelines advises cautious contact with mobile phones.
Wien (OTS) - The Vienna Doctor’s Chamber (Wiener Ärztekammer) warns expressly against excessive mobile phone use especially by children.
The reason for this is the recently presented “Reflex Study” (Reflex-Studie) in which a definite genotoxic effect of mobile phone radiation was proven.
The first consequence is that the Doctor’s Chamber (Ärztekammer) has now drawn up a catalogue of guidelines, which stipulates specific rules of behaviour
for use of mobile phones.
The Reflex Studie (Reflex Study), which was supported by the EU at a cost of more than two million Euros, was carried out at various important research
centres in Europe including the Wiener AKH. In the course of this study, the so-called mutagenicity of a substance, in this case in by electromagnetic field,
was tested. They looked for changes in the genes which are the possible beginning of a cancer disease. One part of the study tests was carried out on
human promyelocytes a preliminary stage of the cells of blood formation. A mutation of such cells can as a further consequence lead to leukaemia and
similar illnesses of the blood forming system.
The results from these studies can be summarised in one sentence: There is indeed a genotoxic effect on human cell cultures from mobile phone radiation
at a strength that is supplied by every GSM mobile phone.

First studies confirmed
Previous earlier animal experiments already showed a dose-dependant genotoxic effect under high frequency radiation.
Further, in the brains of rats increased functionless nerve cells were found after two hours of mobile phone radiation.
Two corroborative epidemiological studies showed a three- to four-fold increased risk for auditory nerve cancers after ten years of mobile phone use.
With the now presented “Reflex Study” (Reflex Studie) a cell-biological relationship has been proven for all these results.
Eric Huber, Speaker for Environmental Medicine for the Doctor’s Chamber for Vienna (Referent für Umweltmedizin der Ärztekammer für Wien):
“If medications delivered the same test results as mobile phone radiation one would have to immediately remove them from the market”.
The Vienna Doctor’s Chamber (Wiener Ärztekammer) finds it necessary to call upon the population to take more care with use of mobile phone equipment, especially children. Huber: “We must assume that children are more sensitive towards high frequency radiation than adults since the skull bones are thinner
and the children’s child-like cells show an increased rate of division, in which they are more sensitive to genotoxic effects”.
That is why they have decided to follow the example of the British Ministry of Health and the Danish Health Council, and to also warn against excessive
mobile phone use, especially by children, in Austria.
The following guidelines for mobile phones should according to Huber, “Expressly not only be valid for children”.
> Children under 16 years should not use mobile phones.
> Only use mobile phones in emergencies and then only telephone briefly.
> A mobile phone in the trouser pocket and also the sending of SMS messages under the school desk can influence fertility and should be completely avoided.
> If sending SMS messages keep the mobile phone away from the body.
> Turn off the mobile phone at night if left turned on, do not keep it near the head.
> Also, headsets are not recommended, since the cable frequently transmits the signal like an antenna.
> Play no games on the mobile phone.
> Keep the mobile phone away from the head during the telephone connection.
> Keep a couple of metres distance away from other people, they are being radiated with you.
> Less mobile phone telephone calls mean less radiation from mobile phone

masts.
> Internet via cable connections UMTS and WLAN lead to high radiation exposure.

Robert WHO bases its decision on the science...if the science does not support your position this is not my problem.
It is a cheap shot to say that because the WHO position is the same an an industry position that we are in bed with industry...t
his is patently untrue and it does you no good to even suggest it..
Our Director General claimed to be hypersensitive...this does not mean that we should base our decisions on anything but the valideated evidence..
Pity is that people such as yourself wont listen to the science...it is one of our greatest resources...all successful countries reply on it.

French TELCOS: "Il y a effectivement, à ce jour, de nombreuses personnes malades". (also in English)
France Created: 5 Sep 2005
"Il y a effectivement, à ce jour, de nombreuses personnes malades".

Ces malades existent bien... "non pas à cause des rayonnements électromagnétiques mais à cause de la crainte, que vous avez souvent inspirée à ces personnes, des pseudos effets néfastes des antennes.
Fragiles et réceptives à vos discours ou à vos écrits, ces personnes induisent, par effet nocebo, des vraies maladies à partir de fausses causes."

Extract in English:

An Etract of the article of the Ecologist in French for September, October, November 2005 for those who don't understand French.

René Russo is the general delegate of AFOM (Association française des opérateurs mobiles) organization representing the French TELCOS.

"There are indeed, today many sick people".

These patients exist... "not because of the electromagnetic radiations but because of the fear, which you have often inspired to those people, of the pseudo harmful effects of the masts.
Fragile and receptive to your speeches or your writings, these people induce, by nocebo effect, the true diseases starting from false causes."...

TO MR. RENÉ RUSSO: Association française des opérateurs mobiles:
LET US SEE YOUR PROOF AND EVIDENCE OF HARMLESSNESS!!
YOU MUST HAVE PROOF OF WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

ACCORDING TO YOU WE ARE ALL HYSTERICAL!
YOUR LANGUAGE: PHSYCOSOMATIC!

BUT THERE IS A CURE FOR THAT:
PROOF TO US, ONCE AND FOR ALL, THAT THE RADIATION FROM YOUR ANTENNAS IS HARMELESS TO HUMANS AND OTHER LIVING THINGS, INSTEAD OF ALL THIS WOFFELING.

ACCORDING TO YOU, ALL OUR SYMPTOMS WILL DISSAPEAR WHEN WE BELIEVE THE EMISSION IS SAFE.

SO WHAT IS KEEPING YOU??? CURE US!! PROVE TO US THEY ARE SAFE !!

GIVE US IRREVOCABLE PROOF THAT YOU ARE TELLING THE TRUTH,
COME ON, WE CHALLENGE YOU !!

You have the power, you have bought some Scientists, you have bought Organisations, you have bought Governments, so what are you afraid of?
Produce the evidence for what you say !!

Agnes.
www.mast-victims.org

P.S. A lot of French Telco´s are visiting Mast-Victims daily anyway (we keep logs of everything) so on your way out just drop the evidence of harmlessness in our mail, and we will publish it and be friends for ever.
If you do not, we will all know that your intimidations are "JUST HOT AIR"

Dublin maps its phone masts
Ireland Created: 5 Sep 2005
Dublin maps its phone masts

THE location of mobile phone masts in Dublin has been published for the first time by Dublin city council, allowing residents concerned about radiation to check the proximity of antennae.
The new database reveals the Wax museum, the Ormond hotel and the Vicar Street venue as city-centre buildings hosting masts.
ComReg, the state regulator of the electronic communications industry, refused to disclose where the masts were located on the grounds that it was commercially sensitive information.
Each operator is required by law to notify local authorities of the erection of antennae exempt from planning permission.
But health campaigners believe phone companies don’t always comply. “Under an FOI (Freedom of Information) application, I discovered that until October 2004, Meath county council had not received one exemption notification from any operators,” said Don MacAuley, a campaigner with Masts Action In Meath.
Enda Dalton, technical adviser to the Irish Doctors’ Environmental Association, welcomed Dublin council’s decision to publish the list.
The council’s website discloses the exact addresses of all antennae exempt from planning permission.
Phone companies said they were happy for the information to be published. “If any of the local authorities want to make the information on exempted masts public, we don’t object. As far as we’re concerned, our dealings are completely transparent,” said Johanna Cassells, head of corporate affairs at O2.
In May, the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications recommended that the monitoring of masts should be vested in the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland.
“It would be better housed under that body, for the reason that ComReg aren’t equipped to monitor masts, they have to buy in expertise,” said Noel O’Flynn TD.

DATA RETENTION IS NO SOLUTION!
Created: 5 Sep 2005
Data retention is no solution!

The European ministers of Justice and the European Commission want to keep all telephone and internet traffic data of all 450 million Europeans.
If you are concerned about this plan, please sign the petition.

What's wrong with data retention? The proposal to retain traffic data will reveal who has been calling and e-mailing whom, what websites people have visited and even where they were with their mobile phones. Telephone companies and internet services providers would be ordered to store all traffic data of their customers. Police and intelligence agencies in Europe would be granted access the traffic data. Various, competing proposals in Brussels mention retention periods from 6 months up to four years.

Data retention is an invasive tool that interferes with the private lives of all 450 million people in the European Union. Data retention is a policy that expands powers of surveillance in an unprecedented manner. It simultaneously revokes many of the safeguards in European human rights instruments, such as the Data Protection Directives and the European Convention on Human Rights.

Data retention means that governments may interfere with your private life and private communications regardless if you are suspected of a crime or not.

Data retention is not a solution to terrorism and crime!

In July 2005 the European Parliament adopted a report by Parliament member Alexander Alvaro on the mandatory data retention plan. The report concludes that the proposal is disproportionate. The report also questions the necessity, effectiveness and high costs for industry and telecommunication users.

No research has been conducted anywhere in Europe that supports the need and necessity of creating such a large-scale database containing such sensitive data for the purpose of fighting crime and terrorism.

The attacks on London are an attack on human rights. The protection of those human rights matters most when governments and societies face times of crisis. The worst possible response would be to jeopardise those carefully wrought rights by a panic-inspired response. A mass surveillance response to terror would result in a resounding success for the perpetrators of these attacks: a fundamental undermining of our most fundamental values.

What can you do to stop this plan?

If you are concerned about the European plans for data retention, please sign the petition and alert as many people as you can to support this campaign.
The signatures will be sent to the European Commission and the European Parliament.

Petition

I believe that:

- Data retention is an invasive tool that interferes with the private lives of everyone;
- Retaining personal data on everyone is an illegal practice in terms of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, as it is disproportionate;
- Security gained from retention may be illusory, as it is likely that traffic data that is associated to one individual may actually be linked to activity taken by
another, or by a process that is unrelated to the activities of that user;
- The means through which this policy is being pursued is illegitimate, as some member states who have failed to pass this policy through their own
Parliaments are now trying to push it through the EU instead in the name of harmonisation and international cooperation.

I call upon the European Commission and the European Parliament to examine the proposal for data retention very critically and uphold the protection of human rights, including privacy, in these difficult times.

Secret Report On Cell Phone Dangers And Tetra, Strictly For The Police Federation Of England and Wales

Secret Report On Cell Phone Dangers And Tetra Confidential Report On TETRA Strictly For The Police Federation Of England and Wales

INTRODUCTION

With respect to my fellow scientists I shall be writing this report in non-scientific speak for all of those readers who have not had the benefit of a scientific education.

We being water based animals act like aerials to these waves. As the waves go into our bodies an electric current is generated inside our bodies which is
how aerials work; waves come in and electricity is generated. The electricity generated in our bodies like all electric currents goes to ground through our
bodies and like all electric currents it takes the path of least resistance. Unfortunately the path of least resistance through our bodies, although only
representing 10% of our pathways, carries 90% of our traffic rather like the M1 motorway. The traffic in our bodies, namely hormones, antibodies, neurotransmitters know where they are going because they also carry an electric charge. The hormones, antibodies and neurotransmitters know where to
"get off" because there is a corresponding opposite charge at the site of delivery rather like the positive and negative ends of a battery.
The problem is if you have an electric current passing through the body it can change this charge, either on the hormones, antibodies or neurotransmitters
or the site of delivery.

Yvette Cooper backing the people in a Mast row
United Kingdom Created: 3 Sep 2005
Mast row

ANGRY Airedale residents will be meeting mobile phone bosses later this month in a bid to stop plans for a 28ft mast in the middle of their estate.
More than 500 objectors – backed by MP Yvette Cooper – signed a petition against the mast to be built on a patch of grassland in Elizabeth Drive.
Bosses from Vodafone have now agreed to meet residents at a special drop-in session at Castleford Civic Centre on Wednesday September 21
from 4-7pm.
Petition organiser James Dakin, who lives on Elizabeth Drive, said: "A drop-in session suggests Vodafone wants to deal with residents individually instead of as a whole group. It could split people's opinions and we want to tackle the company together.
"This is typical of what's happening across the country with these masts. Mobile phone companies and councils just railroad them through despite the potential health risks. I would have expected the council to at least allow us to put in our objections first."
Ms Cooper said she had written to Vodafone three times to ask them to consult residents.
She added: "I am appalled that Vodafone didn't meet residents before putting their planning application forward, despite having assured me three
times that they would.
"I am now urging them to conduct a proper consultation before anything goes ahead and that means listening to what residents have to say and not simply coming to talk to them."
A Wakefield Council spokesman said: "Planning permission for the mast was given to Vodafone on August 10. It was a delegated decision so it didn't need to go to full committee."
