Streit um Referentin Dr. Caroline Herr und Grenzwerte
Mobilfunk: In aufgeheizter Atmosphäre im Kurfürstensaal ist keine Annäherung von Gegnern und Befürwortern möglich
HEPPENHEIM. Buhrufe für Bürgermeister Gerhard Herbert (SPD) und demonstratives Klatschen für kritische Frager begleiteten am Donnerstagabend die Mobilfunkveranstaltung, zu dem der Magistrat der Stadt Heppenheim in den Kurfürstensaal eingeladen hatte. Umweltmedizinerin Dr. Caroline Herr hatte als einzige Referentin einen schweren Stand. Die Mobilfunkgegner, die gut die Hälfte der 80 Zuhörer ausmachten, werfen der stellvertretenden Direktorin des Instituts für Hygiene und Umweltmedizin an der Universität Gießen Befangenheit wegen von der Mobilfunkindustrie mitfinanzierten Studien vor und unterbrachen sie häufig. Zur Einstimmung verteilten Bürgerinitiativen im Foyer Zeitungsartikel.
Der Magistrat habe die Referentin wegen ihrer wissenschaftlichen Qualifikation ausgewählt, weil sie als Fachärztin mit der aktuellen Forschung vertraut sei, betonte Herbert. Es sei schwierig, Experten zu finden, die der geforderten Definition von Unabhängigkeit standhielten. Diese verträten dann entweder eine Außenseiterposition oder hätten noch nicht über das Gebiet publiziert, sagte der Bürgermeister. Er appellierte, lieber die Referentin zu befragen, statt am Modus der Veranstaltung „rumzukritteln“.
Die vorgeschlagenen Zweitreferenten seien alle keine Mediziner gewesen, führte Herbert aus. Man habe sich bewusst gegen eine Podiumsdiskussion entschieden, bei dem sich nur Experten die Bälle zuspielen. Stattdessen habe man einen kurzen Vortrag mit langer Diskussion geplant. Mitten in der Einleitung des Bürgermeisters klingelte dessen Handy und verdeutlichte so die Allgegenwärtigkeit der Technik.
Caroline Herr ging auf verschiedene Strahlungsarten ein: niederfrequente wie bei Hausstrom, hochfrequente wie bei Mobilfunk, Fernsehen, Rundfunk und Mikrowelle und ionisierende, radioaktive Strahlung. Eine von Jörg Michaelis (Mainz) geleitete Studie komme zu dem Ergebnis, dass niederfrequente Felder von Nachtspeicheröfen bei über 0,4 Mikrotesla Feldstärke erhöhtes Leukämierisiko bei Kindern bewirkten. Nach seiner Berechnung könnten drei bis vier von 620 kindlichen Leukämien in Deutschland auf solche Felder zurückgehen. Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation WHO stufe extrem niederfrequente Strahlen als möglicherweise krebserzeugend ein.
Die Umweltmedizinerin warnte davor, Korrelationen zwischen zwei Ereignissen mit ursächlichen Zusammenhängen zu verwechseln. Scheinkorrelationen gebe es auch zwischen der Zahl der Störche in einem Gebiet und der Zahl der Kinder pro Familie. Auf diesen Vergleich reagierte ein Teil der Gäste mit Missfallen.
Kernpunkt des Streits ist die Festlegung von Grenzwerten für Mobilfunkstrahlung in Deutschland, die bisher ausschließlich sogenannte thermische (Wärme-) Effekte der Strahlung berücksichtigt. Diese seien die einzigen, die im Labor nachzuvollziehen seien, sagte Herr. Mobilfunkgegner bezweifeln dies und verweisen auf Studien. Beim Telefonieren dürfe sich der Kopf nicht um mehr als 0,1 Grad erwärmen, so Herr. Dies ergebe Feldstärken von 61 Volt pro Meter bei UMTS, 58 im E-Netz und 42 im D-Netz.
Zu den diskutierten nichtthermischen Wirkungen der Mobilfunkstrahlung gehörten Auswirkungen auf Zentralnervensystem, Blutbild, die Entstehung von Krebs und Befindlichkeitsstörungen. Laut Herr soll die Energie der Strahlung aber zu gering sein, um Tumore auszulösen. Eine Förderung vorhandener Tumore werde diskutiert. Versuche mit Zellkulturen, die eine genschädigende Wirkung gezeigt hätten, seien nicht wiederholbar gewesen und deshalb „nicht valide“ (gültig).
Kritisch setzte sich die Medizinerin auch mit der Naila-Studie von Hausärzten in der oberfränkischen Stadt auseinander. Diese hatten fünf Jahre nach Aufstellung eines Mobilsenders eine Verdreifachung der Krebsfälle im 400-Meter-Radius im Vergleich zum Fernbereich festgestellt.
Im Vergleich zum saarländischen Krebsregister gebe es in dem Gebiet aber keine erhöhte Krebsrate, kritisierte Herr. Es seien zudem alle Krebsfälle erfasst worden, auch solche, die mit anderen Umweltfaktoren zusammenhingen.
„Sie sind nicht ganz objektiv“, warf ihr ein Mann vor, der dafür Beifall erhielt. „Das ist alles einseitig“, kritisierte eine Frau. Auf den einstündigen Vortrag folgten 1,5 Stunden Diskussion. Viele Zuhörer, von denen einige bis aus Wald-Michelbach kamen, zitierten weitere Studien und verwiesen auf die ihrer Ansicht nach vorbildliche Mobilfunkveranstaltung von acht Odenwald-Bürgermeistern im April 2006 in Mörlenbach.
Eine Annäherung war in der aufgeheizten Atmosphäre nicht möglich. „Es ist nicht gut, dass Frau Herr heute alleine dieser Stimmung ausgesetzt war“, bilanzierte die Grüne Stadtverordnete Rosemarie Sutholt.

Studien und Prozesse zum Thema Mobilfunkstrahlung
HEPPENHEIM. Die von Mobilfunkgegnern häufig zitierte Naila-Studie beruht auf Statistiken von Hausärzten im oberfränkischen Naila. Sie hatten von 1994 bis 2004, nachdem dort 1993 der erste Mobilfunksender installiert worden war, neu aufgetretene Krebsfälle dokumentiert. Es wurden im Nahbereich (Radius von 400 Metern um die Sendeanlage) 320 Personen erfasst, im Fernbereich 647 Personen.
Im Zeitraum 1994 bis 1998 traten im Nahbereich fünf, im Fernbereich acht Krebserkrankungen auf – ohne signifikante Unterschiede zwischen beiden Bereichen. Von 1999 bis 2004 – ab fünf Jahren nach Installation des Senders – traten im Nahbereich 13, im Fernbereich acht Neuerkrankungen auf. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit für eine Neuerkrankung lag im Nahbereich um das 3,38-fache höher als im Fernbereich. Die Autoren gaben an, dass die Patienten im Nahbereich durchschnittlich auch 8,5 Jahre jünger waren. Das Brustkrebsrisiko sei 3,5-fach erhöht; letzteres war statistisch nicht signifikant.
In der Bewertung der Studie lobte das Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz zwar die Wahl der Studienregion im ländlichen Raum mit wenigen Sendern und langjährigen Bewohnern. Bemängelt wurden methodische Schwächen. Beispielsweise seien Alter und Geschlecht der Patienten nicht statistisch ausgewertet worden. Ein Vergleich mit dem saarländischen Krebsregister zeige, dass im Fernbereich weniger Krebsfälle auftraten als zu erwarten. Deshalb sei das Risiko im Nahbereich eventuell überschätzt worden. Außerdem seien andere Risikofaktoren nicht erfasst worden.
Als bisher erste Patientin hat übrigens die Amerikanerin Sharesa Price 2005 einen Prozess gegen die Mobilfunkindustrie gewonnen. Bei der Frau, die täglich stundenlang Handys bei einem Telekommunikationsunternehmen programmiert hatte, wurde 1999 ein Hirntumor festgestellt. Nach mehrjährigem Rechtsstreit wurden ihr 30 000 Dollar Entschädigung zugesprochen.

Dr George Carlo
Following the recent emergency announcement - Joseph Moor Research Assistant to Andrew Mitchell MP Shadow Secretary of State for International Development has sent message saying people can get to the Attlee Room on their own – reception at portcullis house will direct everyone where to go, the room will be open from 2.30 and the meeting is scheduled to run from 3 – 4pm
The meeting room is large and as a result I do not need to supply a list of names, it is free for anyone to attend.
A film company has agreed to film the event and a DVD will be made available for purchase, this is good news for all ES people who cannot attend.
This event is beginning to attract attention from around the world.
The Attlee Suite is the largest of the multi purpose rooms in Westminster and is located on the first floor of Portcullis House. Members of the public should enter via Embankment for meetings in Portcullis House. Once through security the staff at reception will direct visitors up the stairs behind the desk, these lead to the first floor and hence the Attlee Suite.
A sign will be posted on the door of Committee Room 9 on the 22nd directing people to the Attlee Suite should they end up there by mistake.
I would like to thank fellow trustees from the EM Radiation Research Trust - Andrew Mitchell MP and Dr Ian Gibson MP and staff for all their hard work helping to organise this event. Andrew Mitchell MP, Dr Ian Gibson MP and Dr Caroline Lucas MEP have all agreed to help promote this important meeting to all their colleagues. Phil Willis MP has also sent confirmation and I have encouraged him to promote this to members from the Lib Dem Party. Let’s hope MPs respond and represent members of their constituency as this is a growing concern for many people and deserves their full attention!
I would also like to thank HESE-UK, SCRAM, Mast Sanity and Mast Action, and all campaigners for helping to promote this event.

Electrosmog in the clear with scientists?
http://omega.twoday.net/search?q=Electrohypersensitivity
--------
http://technology.guardian.co.uk/weekly/story/0,,1992315,00.html
Informant: Mark G.
--------
The Rubin study was MTHR. They released a literature review (published in the American Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine) http://www.psychosomaticmedicine.org/cgi/content/abstract/67/2/224
then their provocation study published in the BMJ. (see also discussion at the end) http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/332/7546/886
which features in WHO's "factsheet" on EHS: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs296/en/print.html
Rubin's team concluded that since the sensitive people reacted to everything equally but differently from the control group, the response to "sham" shows it's all psychological.
What they assumed was that the standard MTHR mobile phone dummy fields were too low in "sham" condition. The mobile unit in fact produces equal signals in all modes, it just runs to a "load" rather than the antenna. Powerwatch also has some critique of this
This is criticised by Frans in Don's blog: http://www.emfacts.com/weblog/?p=436
Rubin's boss is Simon Wessely, but let's not be prejudiced. It's just that Wesseley's agenda on MCS, ME on GWS and on EHS is that "idiopathic environmental intolerance" can be wished away with cognitive behavioural therapy. The most disturbing fact about the Wessely approach is that he has been funded by insurance companies, which is ideal in the case of GWS. Martin Walker ("Skewed") tells some disturbing accounts of the effects on people's lives and health of misinterpreting ME (a subject on which you should look up the Countess of Mar as a protagonist vs Wessely).
Here's my reply to the Guardian, should they wish to file it away or use it:
Andy
Dear Sir
With reference to Technology Guardian "Electrosmog in the clear with scientists" (18 January) your article is over-conclusive. There is a real difficulty with provocation testing - ie subjecting a person who claims to be electro-sensitive (ES) to double-blind exposure in controlled conditions.
First, there are two few studies, even those interpreted as "best" by the Rubin team, that truly replicate each other without introducing fresh variables in what is in all probability a complex biological interaction. Any "sham" testing should achieve a natural EM environment, since ES people show sensitivity to extremely small changes, and this is rarely achieved. The Kings college researchers assumed that extraneous fields were simply too small to affect their results, and this has been challenged.
Second, testing for responses takes very little account of "lag time", ie it assumes an instantaneous response in the course of a 40 minute changing EM environment, and this is far from often the case.
Third, introducing placebo and nocebo advances us nowhere. If the mind affects the body in this way, there is a fair chance that at least part of that neurological communication itself involves endogenous electromagnetic communication.
The human body is highly energetic, not a bag of chemicals.

The Rubin study was MTHR. They released a literature review (published in the American Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine) http://www.psychosomaticmedicine.org/cgi/content/abstract/67/2/224
then their provocation study published in the BMJ. (see also discussion at the end) http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/332/7546/886
which features in WHO's "factsheet" on EHS: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs296/en/print.html
Rubin's team concluded that since the sensitive people reacted to everything equally but differently from the control group, the response to "sham" shows it's all psychological.
What they assumed was that the standard MTHR mobile phone dummy fields were too low in "sham" condition. The mobile unit in fact produces equal signals in all modes, it just runs to a "load" rather than the antenna. Powerwatch also has some critique of this
This is criticised by Frans in Don's blog: http://www.emfacts.com/weblog/?p=436
Rubin's boss is Simon Wessely, but let's not be prejudiced. It's just that Wesseley's agenda on MCS, ME on GWS and on EHS is that "idiopathic environmental intolerance" can be wished away with cognitive behavioural therapy. The most disturbing fact about the Wessely approach is that he has been funded by insurance companies, which is ideal in the case of GWS. Martin Walker ("Skewed") tells some disturbing accounts of the effects on people's lives and health of misinterpreting ME (a subject on which you should look up the Countess of Mar as a protagonist vs Wessely).
Here's my reply to the Guardian, should they wish to file it away or use it:

Dear Sir
With reference to Technology Guardian "Electrosmog in the clear with scientists" (18 January) your article is over-conclusive. There is a real difficulty with provocation testing - ie subjecting a person who claims to be electro-sensitive (ES) to double-blind exposure in controlled conditions.
First, there are two few studies, even those interpreted as "best" by the Rubin team, that truly replicate each other without introducing fresh variables in what is in all probability a complex biological interaction. Any "sham" testing should achieve a natural EM environment, since ES people show sensitivity to extremely small changes, and this is rarely achieved. The Kings college researchers assumed that extraneous fields were simply too small to affect their results, and this has been challenged.
Second, testing for responses takes very little account of "lag time", ie it assumes an instantaneous response in the course of a 40 minute changing EM environment, and this is far from often the case.
Third, introducing placebo and nocebo advances us nowhere. If the mind affects the body in this way, there is a fair chance that at least part of that neurological communication itself involves endogenous electromagnetic communication.
The human body is highly energetic, not a bag of chemicals. There is abundant scientific research showing that EM fields can alter the skin (mast cell activity and conductance), the blood (red cell flocculation and leukocyte balance), blood pressure, gene expression and EEG rhythms. It seems hardly conclusive to compare provocation studies and psychiatric analysis with the physiological indicators, especially when an increasing number of people are developing a quite unexpected sensitivity. The HPA report on hypersensitivity and EM fields (Irvine, 2006) itself identified the most effective remedies of ES as being removal of EMF sources.

Bees and GM-crops: Is this the lethal combination?
Wild Bees Reject Genetically Engineered Crop--Potential Major Impact on Pollination
* Ecological Society of America, Dec 23, 2006
http://www.organicconsumers.org/2006/article_3665.cfm
From Ecological Society of America Referring to a Sept. 2004 peer-reviewed article
Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, British Columbia, V5A 1S6, Canada
Abstract. The ecological impacts of agriculture are of concern, especially with genetically modified and other intensive, modern cropping systems, yet little is known about effects on wild bee populations and subsequent implications for pollination. Pollination deficit (the difference between potential and actual pollination) and bee abundance were measured in organic, conventional, and herbicide-resistant, genetically modified (GM) canola fields (Brassica napus and B. rapa) in northern Alberta, Canada, in the summer of 2002.
Bee abundance data were collected using pan traps and standardized sweep netting, and pollination deficit was assessed by comparing the number of seeds per fruit from open-pollinated and supplementally pollinated flowers. There was no pollination deficit in organic fields, a moderate pollination deficit in conventional fields, and the greatest pollination deficit in GM fields. Bee abundance was greatest in organic fields, followed by conventional fields, and lowest in GM fields. Overall, there was a strong, positive relationship between bee abundance at sampling locations and reduced pollination deficits. Seed set in B. napus increased with greater bee abundance. Because B. rapa is an obligate outcrossing species, the lack of pollination deficit in the organic (B. rapa) fields likely was due to the high bee abundance rather than a lower dependence of B. rapa on pollinators than B. napus canola. Our study illustrates the importance of wild bees to agricultural production and suggests that some agroecosystems may better sustain wild bee abundance, resulting in greater seed production.
Further research on why some cropping systems, such as genetically modified, herbicide-resistant canola, have low wild bee abundance would be useful for management of agroecosystems to promote sustainability of food production. Key words: agriculture; bees; Brassica rapa; Brassica napus; canola; conventional; genetically modified; organic; pollination; sustainable development.

Hi Margaret, Hi All !
It's seems that the Koblenz study is unknown, so I sent it to you in attached file.
http://www.buergerwelle.de/pdf/etude_koblenz.pdf
This study shows that a simple DECT phone under a beehive has a catastrophic result! We all have to rouse every people about that! Regarding the article in the Spiegel, I conclude that all around the world, people are not looking in the right direction, because they are looking either for chemical causes or GM cause. If GM is largely spread in USA, it is not the case in Germany (0,06 %), nor in Switzerland and France where the bees problematic is the same. And chemical are less employed. We just have to stop EMF. Quick! One year more and it will be too late! If people don't care about their own health, maybe they will about bees and consequently the humanity! I suggest we all have to think about a letter we have to write and send to our mutual Government, with a copy to the media! Mayday, mayday, mayday! Please do some!
Best Regards.

Re: Der Spiegel International Article - Are GM crops killing bees
Dear Don, Dear All !
Unfortunately, I haven't an English version of the study and I only have a pdf version of it. Nevertheless, I can give you this abstract:
2 beehives were not exposed and 2 beehives were exposed with a DECT phone. They catch 25 bees in all beehives and released them 800 meters away. On the non exposed beehives, 16 & 17 bees came back after respectively 28 & 32 minutes. On the exposed ones, only 6 came back after 38 minutes and the other beehive were totally deserted ! An other fact is that on the exposed beehives, there were 21 % less of cells construction in the frames of the beehive after 9 days. Unfortunately, there is no explanation. Just FACTS ! Do we really have to wait to get the formal evidence? In Science, nothing is never proved. That the accumulation of studies and evidences who could reach something plausible or possible. But do we really have the time to wait for a confirmation of the Science which can take several years before acting, if the humanity disappear before the results ???
Be the way, if somebody understand German (I do not), he can visit this website: http://www.mikrowellensmog.info/bienen.html
[English machine translation under: http://tinyurl.com/26w4ow ]
Keeping bees seems not possible at 2000 uW/m2, it means 0,87 V/m.
We all know that bees are one of the best kind of bio-indicator. If they disappear, the humanity will follow in the 4 or 5 years. Isn't it wonderful? WE HAVE TO ACT NOW! ANYBODY OWNING A MOBILE PHONE HAS TO CANCEL IT ! NOW ! Again, I repeat: Mayday, mayday, mayday... Please do some !

RE: Der Spiegel International Article - Are GM crops killing bees
We already have the Koblenz study and Dr. Warnke promised to give me the phone numbers of the researchers. I have to speak to them asap. I am in total agreement with Philippe Hug. The bees need to be our priority. I have seen this coming for quite some years now and everyone laughed at me when I voiced my fears regarding the bees and the birds. It now seems that my nightmare is coming true. Let's not be mislead by reports of other possible causes. I am alerting UK government ministers and defra. We all must do our best to alert the media and our government representatives, otherwise Einstein's prediction will come true and mankind will only have four years left after the demise of the honey bee.

Re: Der Spiegel International Article - Are GM crops killing bees
Dear Philippe, Don and All: Philippe makes the point re "the facts" surrounding close exposure to DECT phone in the same way I have been emphasizing for years (and Olle has been trying to obtain funding for....) -- that we must inform the public of dangers of EMF exposures that are close to one's body before common sense can be applied to the more distant exposures!!!
We should be asking for what reason did the American Cancer Society send me a copy of the "USA Today" article back in 1993 when I made a query as to whether they had any information on EMF's. The file number on this item clearly indicates the American Cancer Society considered EMF's due to electrical appliances close to beds as "radiation."
I am preparing another email re the bees and EMF exposures........ Take care - Joanne

RE: bees
Dear all,...this is my rough/quick content of the Koblenz study translated.
If I am wrong somewhere, please correct me.
Thanks,
Hans Karow.
Content of Koblenz study:
It's a pilot study and they found differences between the radiated and non-radiated bee hives with regards of (filled)honeycombs’ weight, and time of bee’s return flights to the hive, both cases have been illustrated in the figures.
Re honeycomb weight: a difference of 21.1 % less with the radiated bee hives.
Re: return to the bee hive: numbers of returning non-radiated bees are definitely higher compared to radiated bees;
Return flight-time of radiated bees is definitely longer than compared to non-radiated bees.
That's roughly what the study says.
At the end of that paper they suggest variation/recommendations for future studies.

NATIONAL GRID -
Electric and magnetic fields ---
6.4 Bees
6.4.1 It is clear that the electric fields created by transmission lines do affect the health and mortality of honey bees inside wooden hives(9). The most likely explanation for this is that the bees receive small, but frequent, shocks from the currents induced in the hives. If a hive is placed near transmission lines, this adverse effect can be mitigated by screening the hive. No-one who made a sub-mission to the Inquiry suggested that he or she wished to keep hives on or near to a transmission line easement and the adverse effect of the lines on bees in hives does not appear to create any practical problems.

Re: Bees and GM-crops: Is this the lethal combination?
Hi All
In relation to http://p211.ezboard.com/Are-GM-Crops-Killing-Bees/fchemtrailschemtrails.showMessage?topicID=8570.topic
All these theories reminds me of the poem "The Blind Men and the Elephant" by American poet John Godfrey Saxe.
We all are taking a blind stab at what we think is the bee killer based on our particular experiences or interest. Perhaps "all of the above" is the right answer but I think the microwave factor should be right up there with the other main contenders. There is some good research that could be done here but as Professor Kaatz said in the first article. "Those who have the money are not interested in this sort of research, and those who are interested don't have the money."
Sound familiar?
Anyone know if a new wireless system was rolled out in the US around November last year?
Don Maisch
Excellent comment, dear Don, so very true! Particular the part by Professor Kaatz: "Those who have the money are not interested in this sort of research, and those who are interested don't have the money."

With regard to the bees issue, two points to add:
* Our work suggests that the informations carrying radio waves would disrupt intercellular communication in the bees and cause them to become spatially disoriented. Thus, no way home to the hive and certain death.
* Regarding Don's question about any new rollout in the U.S., we do know that for the past two years, there has been a very rapid increase in the density of satellite radio repeaters installed throughout North America. It seems to be under the FCC's radar screen -- I suppose that is no surprise. Although not the same frequencies as mobile phones, there are wave patterns within that technolgoy that are in the range that would trigger adverese cell membrane reactions.

HONEY BEE POPULATION DROPS SHARPLY, AND MORE FROM CRS
A "sharp decline" in the U.S. population of honey bees is examined in a new report from the Congressional Research Service.
"This phenomenon first became apparent among commercial migratory beekeepers along the East Coast during the last few months of 2006, and has since been reported nationwide," the CRS report said.
Various potential causes have been postulated, including parasites, pathogens, chemical contaminants, poor nutrition, and "stress."
The declining bee population is the subject of a hearing today before the House Subcommittee on Horticulture and Organic Agriculture.

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR BEES?

Posted by Jim Hightower
Listen to this Commentary
http://www.jimhightower.com/sites/jimhightower.civicactions.net/files/13_15_thnc.mp3
Bees are dying. Dying all across America. Lots and lots of bees.
Starting in Florida last fall, the great bee die-off has spread to 24 states. Whole colonies are dying. In Western states, commercial beekeepers report up to a 60 percent loss of their bees, with losses 70 percent in Texas and on the East Coast. It's unprecedented.
Who cares? Well, few people realize that many of America’s food crops – from almonds to watermelon – rely heavily on commercial honeybees for pollination. No bees, no fruit. One study finds that these bees pollinate every third bite of food that we consume.
Another little known fact is that bee pollination is increasingly a highly concentrated industry. Rather than a dispersed system of local hives, a few commercial operators now haul tens of billions of bees from coast to coast, trucking their hives in 18-wheelers.
"Colony Collapse Disorder," as it's now called, could be the result of this industrialized model of pollination. First, the bees themselves have been bred into single-purpose super-pollinators, rather than bees with multiple functions (make honey, feed the queen, maintain the hives, and extend the species). The industrial bees have lost the diversity and natural traits of wild bees.
Second, constant trucking puts stress on the bees, suppressing their immune systems and making them vulnerable to viruses, mites, and diseases. Also as part of their forced migration, the bees are fed a limited diet of high fructose corn syrup – about as healthy as humans trying to live on Cokes. Other research is indicting certain pesticides and genetically altered organisms that have been artificially spliced into many field crops.
This is Jim Hightower saying... Once again, we have the heavy hand of mankind messing with Mother Nature in ways that come back to mess with us – big time. It's not just bees these food industrialists are messing with – it's our food supply.

But do we really have the time to wait for a confirmation of the Science which can take several years before acting, if the humanity disappear before the results ???

RE: Der Spiegel International Article - Are GM crops killing bees
We already have the Koblenz study and Dr. Warnke promised to give me the phone numbers of the researchers. I have to speak to them asap. I am in total agreement with Philippe Hug. The bees need to be our priority. I have seen this coming for quite some years now and everyone laughed at me when I voiced my fears regarding the bees and the birds. It now seems that my nightmare is coming true. Let's not be mislead by reports of other possible causes. I am alerting UK government ministers and defra. We all must do our best to alert the media and our government representatives, otherwise Einstein's prediction will come true and mankind will only have four years left after the demise of the honey bee.

Re: Der Spiegel International Article - Are GM crops killing bees
Dear Philippe, Don and All: Philippe makes the point re "the facts" surrounding close exposure to DECT phone in the same way I have been emphasizing for years (and Olle has been trying to obtain funding for....) -- that we must inform the public of dangers of EMF exposures that are close to one's body before common sense can be applied to the more distant exposures!!!
We should be asking for what reason did the American Cancer Society send me a copy of the "USA Today" article back in 1993 when I made a query as to whether they had any information on EMF's. The file number on this item clearly indicates the American Cancer Society considered EMF's due to electrical appliances close to beds as "radiation."
I am preparing another email re the bees and EMF exposures........ Take care - Joanne

RE: bees
Dear all,...this is my rough/quick content of the Koblenz study translated.
If I am wrong somewhere, please correct me.
Thanks,
Hans Karow.
Content of Koblenz study:
It's a pilot study and they found differences between the radiated and non-radiated bee hives with regards of (filled)honeycombs’ weight, and time of bee’s return flights to the hive, both cases have been illustrated in the figures.
Re honeycomb weight: a difference of 21.1 % less with the radiated bee hives.
Re: return to the bee hive: numbers of returning non-radiated bees are definitely higher compared to radiated bees;
Return flight-time of radiated bees is definitely longer than compared to non-radiated bees.
That's roughly what the study says.
At the end of that paper they suggest variation/recommendations for future studies.

Re: bees
NATIONAL GRID -
Electric and magnetic fields ---
6.4 Bees
6.4.1 It is clear that the electric fields created by transmission lines do affect the health and mortality of honey bees inside wooden hives(9). The most likely explanation for this is that the bees receive small, but frequent, shocks from the currents induced in the hives. If a hive is placed near transmission lines, this adverse effect can be mitigated by screening the hive. No-one who made a sub-mission to the Inquiry suggested that he or she wished to keep hives on or near to a transmission line easement and the adverse effect of the lines on bees in hives does not appear to create any practical problems.

Re: Bees and GM-crops: Is this the lethal combination?
Hi All
In relation to http://p211.ezboard.com/Are-GM-Crops-Killing-Bees/fchemtrailschemtrails.showMessage?topicID=8570.topic
All these theories reminds me of the poem "The Blind Men and the Elephant" by American poet John Godfrey Saxe.
We all are taking a blind stab at what we think is the bee killer based on our particular experiences or interest. Perhaps "all of the above" is the right answer but I think the microwave factor should be right up there with the other main contenders. There is some good research that could be done here but as Professor Kaatz said in the first article. "Those who have the money are not interested in this sort of research, and those who are interested don't have the money."
Sound familiar?
Anyone know if a new wireless system was rolled out in the US around November last year?
Don Maisch
Excellent comment, dear Don, so very true! Particular the part by Professor Kaatz: "Those who have the money are not interested in this sort of research, and those who are interested don't have the money."

With regard to the bees issue, two points to add:
* Our work suggests that the informations carrying radio waves would disrupt intercellular communication in the bees and cause them to become spatially disoriented. Thus, no way home to the hive and certain death.
* Regarding Don's question about any new rollout in the U.S., we do know that for the past two years, there has been a very rapid increase in the density of satellite radio repeaters installed throughout North America. It seems to be under the FCC's radar screen -- I suppose that is no surprise. Although not the same frequencies as mobile phones, there are wave patterns within that technolgoy that are in the range that would trigger adverese cell membrane reactions.

HONEY BEE POPULATION DROPS SHARPLY, AND MORE FROM CRS
A "sharp decline" in the U.S. population of honey bees is examined in a new report from the Congressional Research Service.
"This phenomenon first became apparent among commercial migratory beekeepers along the East Coast during the last few months of 2006, and has since been reported nationwide," the CRS report said.
Various potential causes have been postulated, including parasites, pathogens, chemical contaminants, poor nutrition, and "stress."
The declining bee population is the subject of a hearing today before the House Subcommittee on Horticulture and Organic Agriculture.

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR BEES?
Wednesday, April 25, 2007
Posted by Jim Hightower
Listen to this Commentary
http://www.jimhightower.com/sites/jimhightower.civicactions.net/files/13_15_thnc.mp3
Bees are dying. Dying all across America. Lots and lots of bees.
Starting in Florida last fall, the great bee die-off has spread to 24 states. Whole colonies are dying. In Western states, commercial beekeepers report up to a 60 percent loss of their bees, with losses 70 percent in Texas and on the East Coast. It's unprecedented.
Who cares? Well, few people realize that many of America’s food crops – from almonds to watermelon – rely heavily on commercial honeybees for pollination. No bees, no fruit. One study finds that these bees pollinate every third bite of food that we consume.
Another little known fact is that bee pollination is increasingly a highly concentrated industry. Rather than a dispersed system of local hives, a few commercial operators now haul tens of billions of bees from coast to coast, trucking their hives in 18-wheelers.
"Colony Collapse Disorder," as it's now called, could be the result of this industrialized model of pollination. First, the bees themselves have been bred into single-purpose super-pollinators, rather than bees with multiple functions (make honey, feed the queen, maintain the hives, and extend the species). The industrial bees have lost the diversity and natural traits of wild bees.
Second, constant trucking puts stress on the bees, suppressing their immune systems and making them vulnerable to viruses, mites, and diseases. Also as part of their forced migration, the bees are fed a limited diet of high fructose corn syrup – about as healthy as humans trying to live on Cokes. Other research is indicting certain pesticides and genetically altered organisms that have been artificially spliced into many field crops.
This is Jim Hightower saying... Once again, we have the heavy hand of mankind messing with Mother Nature in ways that come back to mess with us – big time. It's not just bees these food industrialists are messing with – it's our food supply.

Anhörung im Bayerischen Landtag zum Thema Mobilfunk
Bei der Anhörung am 7.12.2006 nahmen neun Experten aus Medizin, Strahlenschutz und Mobilfunkindustrie Stellung. Die dpa informiert in einer Pressemitteilung über die Ergebnisse. Nach Angaben der Experten gibt es bisher keinen Nachweis für gesundheitsschädliche Wirkungen der drahtlosen Kommunikation. Das Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (BfS) rät aber Eltern, ihre Kinder nicht unnötig den Strahlen eines Handys aussetzen, da Langzeitfolgen derzeit wissenschaftlich nicht erforschbar seien.
Das Münchener Umweltinstitut mahnte, aus den Schadstoff-Skandalen der vergangenen Jahre zu lernen. Es sei falsch, erst etwas einzuführen und dann die möglichen Folgen zu untersuchen. Deshalb solle das Vorsorgeprinzip konsequent umgesetzt, die Standorte für Mobilfunkanlagen optimiert und die Grenzwerte deutlich gesenkt werden. Die gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Grenzwerte werden von den Experten aber nach wie vor als sicher angesehen. Auch aktuelle Ergebnisse aus dem Deutschen Mobilfunk Forschungsprogramm bestätigen diese Einschätzung.

December 7, 2006 -
Dear Dr. Albert: The need to notify the public about moving electric items (and some phone equipment) away from close proximity to beds is "critical!!!"
I have a copy of an article from "USA Today" (1993) that recommends moving all electric appliances away from beds. This contains a file reference to "radiation" and was sent to me by the American Cancer Society in 1994.
Two of our grandsons were diagnosed with "rare immune deficiencies" (low IgG subclasses 1 and 3 while infant/toddler ages -- signifiies "AGING") and "got well" after we moved their beds away from electric meters. The meters are/were mouned on the outside of the boys' bedroom walls.
I conducted guinea pig studies in my home. Their CBC's with diffs indicated severe neutropenia, lymphocytosis and hypersegmented neutrophils (slowed DNA synthesis/"markers for irradiation"). One out of each set of two guinea pigs died within 30 days after their cage was placed against our back bedroom wall opposite the electric meter.
One guinea pig lived for over two more years in our basement with "ambient milligauss readings" of between 3.5 to 4.5 mg at side of cage. She died from "Reactive Renal Amyloidosis" (a TSE-like problem -- "mad cow family of diseases"). We have two high voltage powerlines only 50 ft. from the front of our house. I also discovered a waterpipe that is carrying high current that was close to the cage.
My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimers about 17 months ago in spite of a PET Scan that did not reveal any pathology to explain his severe cognitive and memory problems. At that time, he had improved in one portion of his Executive Function. "Improvement" came about after I moved his electric clock radio off of his nightstand.
Shortly after that, I discontinued my husband's statin (Lipitor). Well-known to cause memory and muscle problems (although being kept from the public -- see www.spacedoc.net ), statins are wreaking all sorts of havoc, not the least of which is robbing one's brain of protection by reducing one's own production of Coenzyme Q-10. Cholesterol, itself, also offers brain protection.
My husband is now said to "not have Alzheimers" and he also recently improved in three areas of his Executive Function Test. Unfortunately, he is said to have "moderate to severe cognitive and memory impairment." I consider the combination of "close electromagnetic radiation exposure at night" PLUS ingestion of any statin, to be "a deadly combination!!!"
I give my husband several melatonin capsules (without Vitamin B-6) every night as well as a large number of other supplements including Coenzyme Q-10, selenium, magnesium, ginko biloba, etc.
You most likely know that the Leukemia drug, Gleevec, was at least at one time being considered as possible treatment for Alzheimers. Obviously, "inflammation" pertains to the development of Leukemia as well as formation of amyloid in Alzheimers' patients. Chronic inflammation is also associated with immune deficiencies.
SO, in our family alone, we have grandsons with chronic inflammation -- unrelenting asthma and sinus infections -- with diagnosis of "rare immune deficiency." No genetic link. When I brought up subject of high voltage lines in front of our house (we were daycare providers at the time of diagnosis), the Immunologist said, "well, we do know EMF's affect immune function in mice, but we don't know how much of what happens to mice happens to people.....!!!"
We had four guinea pigs with severe immune decline -- one who died later from "reactive" kidney amyloidosis -- all related to "chronic, prolonged, low level EMF/EMR exposure (electric meters).....
Our daughter has 21 noncaseating granulomas on her lungs and trachea, the cause of which remains "unexplained." She slept in a bed close to two electric meters as a child.
I was diagnosed with "pre-senile dementia" many years ago. It was only in the past few months that I realized the gas meter is the "likely culprit" regarding my health problems at that time. Not knowing the gas meter was behind "pillow position" of my bed, I just happened to move to a different location and began taking melatonin. Moving away from the gas meter (also clock radio on opposite side of bed -- induces currents on metal mattress springs), would have helped to restore natural production of melatonin also.
I have been "on a mission" to save children from Leukemia ever since. I have now been researching the toxic effects of "chronic, prolonged EMF/EMR exposures" (particularly those at night when one's body is trying to restore circadian rhythm, etc.) for well over 15 years.
Bonnie Boyum, RN (Vet's Hospital in Minneapolis) lost her 23 yr. old son to Leukemia. She phoned to tell me Michael had an electric clock and small fan on the headboard of his waterbed. Bonnie has extended permission to use her name and Michael's name in order to promote awareness in an effort to help save others.
I know of a case in the UK re a young boy dying from Leukemia. He slept close to an electric meter and a burglar alarm.
Another case in Australia -- I have the EMF measurements (file) by utility/government officials -- a teen boy died from Leukemia. His mom strongly suspects the electric meter he slept close to as the cause.
I have a booklet that was intended for distribution to power company clients as well as schools, that was prepared by the utilities' communications' experts that suggests one might want to replace electric clocks with battery-operated or wind-up clocks. This was printed after the $46 mil EMF RAPID Study -- the resultant EMF Interagency Committee Report has never been presented to Congress designating low level EMF's as Class 2B carcinogens -- and was "taken out-of-print in 2001.....!!!"
I am aware of the fact that research is ongoing re developement of drugs to halt and/or reverse formation of amyloid. While such efforts are important, we victims are pleading for the release of information to the public regarding "prevention!!!"
It is becoming more and more difficult to keep up with all of the press releases, etc. regarding younger and younger persons having cognitive and memory problems and many being diagnosed as having EOAD (early onset Alzheimers' Disease). As you know, compartively speaking, very few cases of Alzheimers are genetically linked.
I sent a plea to the Alzheimers' Association Media for the release of "prudent avoidance information" to the public while awaiting further studies. My plea(s) remain "unanswered.....!!!"
Someone needs to step up and take responsibility for informing the public that simple, cost-free (exception of possibly purchasing a battery-operated clock) measures can be taken that may help stem-the-tide re development of all health problems all the way from poor sleep to cancer!!! Alzheimers, alone, will wipe out Medicare if nothing is done in regard to "prevention!!!" This is "an avoidable healthcare crisis.....!!!!"

Dear Dr. Bohnsack: It is imperative that the parents of these two boys be contacted immediately regarding probable exposure to electrical items at night. Due to privacy issues, if it is possible to get my contact information to them by whatever route, I would be glad to share my experiences and information at no cost and also to provide references for EMF/EMR mitigation re possible improper wiring and/or grounding problems, etc.
I will send you a copy of a recent email to a member of the Alzheimers' Task Force -- my stories are long. During this "holiday season," time is limited for all but I am glad to share any and all details that will help you to help others.
The "bottom line" re your above-cited study is that I have two grandsons (cousins) who were diagnosed with rare immune deficiencies (also with no name but ony the definition of "hypogammaglobulinemia"). Both boys were deficient in IgG subclasses 1 and 3 (signifiying AGING) and they were infant/toddler ages at the time.
I discovered the boys were both sleeping close to electric meters in their own homes. They were also taken out of waterbeds and beds were replaced with standard beds. In spite of metal mattress springs -- known for carrying currents induced by electrical items and wiring close to beds, both boys' overall IGG's rose within five months of the changes. Both boys' problems were related to B-cells. One of the boys has a sister who does not have the immune deficiency but she also did not sleep next to the electric meter. Our home (daycare providers) as well as homes of both boys are/were less than 200 ft. from high voltage powerlines. The "only change" was reducing amount of "close, chronic, prolonged exposure at night" plus discontinuing daily care in our home.
I conducted guinea pig studies in my home to determine how much of the boys' exposures were related to waterbeds versus the close proximity to electric meters. One out of each set of two guinea pigs died within 30 days' of exposure!! One lived a couple more years in our basement (in spite of EMF's in range between 3.5 mg and 4.5 mg but died due to Reactive Renal Amyloidosis. That particular guinea pig initially developed osteomyelitis in one leg in addition to severe neutropenia, lymphocytosis and hypersegmented neutrophils. Three other guinea pigs were identified with same blood changes but they did not develop osteomyelis. After the move to the basement, the osteomyelitis disappeared much to the surprise of the vet.
All four of my guinea pigs (two sets of two each) developed "hyperactive airways." Asthma was also a chronic problem in both boys. I now believe the boys' breathing problems were due to hyperoxic changes/epithelial injury as opposed to a more allergic-type problem such as asthma.
I am in the process of writing a book with Prof. Olle Johansson, Karolinska Institute, titled "Inflammation and EMF/EMR" and have an accumulation of hundreds of studies related to all of the above subjects. Let me know if I can be of any help to you.
You will see from the other email I am forwarding (one to Dr. Marilyn Albert/Alzheimers' Task Force), that electric clocks are also a major concern. I would be glad to send you a copy of the "USA Today" article that I received from the American Cancer Society in 1994 recommending persons move electric clocks, etc. away from close proximity to beds. I have similar info that was prepared by power company consultants.

Happy New Year, and thank you for all you do to keep us informed. Your work is greatly appreciated.
One little tidbit. Perhaps you are already aware, but Dr. Perlmutter was the physician for Susan Reynard in 1993 and was a witness in the law suit that David Reynard brought againt the cell phone industry that year claiming cell phones caused his wife's brain cancer and consequent death. Dr. Perlmutter and Mr. Reynard appeared on Larry King Live with Susan Reynard's brain scans and pointed out the proximity of her brain tumor to the area where she used her cell phone. He was the first physician to postulate publicly that cell phones were a cause of brain cancer and it was his courage and forthrightness about his concern that catapulted cell phones and brain cancer into the national spotlight. That appearance led the cell phone industry to hold a press conference where they claimed thousands of studies proved cell phones to be safe. There were no relevant safety studies in reality, and when that was made clear a few days later following media inquiry, Congressional hearings were ordered that uncovered that cell phones were given a waiver by the FDA in pre-market testing -- so they were put into commerce with no safety testing -- and that eventually led to the WTR research program which I headed through the 1990s.
Dr. Perlmutter was one of the early heroes.

Alzheimers and EMF's....Science is Sound...David Perlmutter, MD...2002
Dear Dr. Collin: Please note this very important study by Prof. Olle Johansson, Karolinska Institute:
Hallberg Ö, Johansson O, "Alzheimer mortality - Why does it increase so fast in sparsely populated areas?", Europ Biol Bioelectromag 2005;
1: 225-246 [ http://omega.twoday.net/stories/1388778/ ]
Would you please forward this information also to Dr. Perlmutter? I have not been able to locate an email address for him.
My file notes/comments are in a separate email. I plan to discuss my notes further once I am able to email Dr. Perlmutter. Contact information re Prof. Johansson as well as a response by Dr. George Carlo are included in the other email.
As I am sure you will agree, society can no longer afford not to "actively inform the public" regarding probable adverse effects of sleeping close to electric appliances. Since the American Cancer Society used to furnish EMF information re "prudent avoidance" -- recommendations to move electric items away from close proximity to beds -- I am interested in your comments as well as Dr. Perlmutter's opinion regarding a "focused effort" in this regard.
Prof. Olle Johansson is willing to do the sort of studies needed to confirm EMF/EMR-related toxicity as being causal in the cases of my two grandsons who were diagnosed with rare immune deficiencies. The "bottom line" is that both boys "got well" after their beds were moved away from walls opposite electric meters. The chances of even one boy having their particular IgG subclass deficiency was considered to be "infitismal." Then his cousin (living in another city) was identified........
I have lots of other facts and information. You may be interested in reviewing my latest appeal to one of the new members of the Alzheimers' Advisory Board Task Force which can be accessed by clicking on:
http://freepage.twoday.net/stories/3038870/
If you or Dr. Perlmutter can be instrumental in any way insofar as obtaining funding for the "honest, conclusive studies" that are so desperately needed -- that only Prof. Olle Johansson can provide (he has been battling for "action and honesty" on behalf of EMF/EMR victims around-the-world for years) your help will be greatly appreciated!!!
If you are not able to offer insight or other help regarding funding, you will be providing a valuble service by including the reference to the Hallberg/Johansson Alzheimers' study referenced above on your websites and in other publications [ http://www.townsendletter.com/ ]. The facts reported in the Alzheimers' study involve another aspect of the EMF/EMR problems -- that of being too far away from antennas which necessitates "stronger signals." There are many variables but identifying the need for minimum recommended distances from certain sources will help greatly toward making responsible decisions re all exposures.
Dr. Perlmutter needs to know about Prof. Johansson's major concerns and dedication to the increasingly desperate cause -- "EMF/EMR-related toxicity" due to close, chronic, prolonged exposures. The dangers of sleeping close to electrical items should be emphasized in speeches, during interviews and in publications while awaiting additional studies re the more distant chronic, prolonged exposures such as residences and other facilities located within certain distances from telecommunications' antennae, high voltage powerlines, substations, etc.
Studies and recommendations are, of course, also needed regarding chronic, prolonged cell phone usage as well as radio and monitoring equipment, etc. used in many professions. Many workers including police and firemen carry RF-emitting technology in close contact with their bodies every day of the week. Many "innocent victims" are also sleeping close to some of the same equipment they are exposed to on-the-job!
As you and Dr. Perlmutter already know, vitamins, supplements, diet, exercise and other "healthy alternatives," do help mitigate at least some of the harm from low dose radiation -- whether ionizing or nonionizing.
It will take the combined, serious efforts of many caring persons to begin to help patch up our downward-spiraling healthcare system.........
Thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide! Take care - Joanne

EMF/EMR...night exposures (cell phone under pillow/Alzheimers...2007)
I received the following email response tonight from a woman whose mom has early Alzeheimers (she is still driving and working). She had written a plea for help in dealing with her mom's symptoms (on a chat forum). This lady did not ask any questions about EMF/EMR. I review various sites looking for persons who might benefit from learning about moving electrical items away from beds. When I saw that her dad died from Leukemia AND her mom now has Alzheimers, I knew there had to be one or more connections to EMF/EMR exposures. Take care - Joanne

Thank you for your email... I think you may be onto something. I knew that there are theories and what not that electrics can be linked to alzheimers but I didn't know it could be linked to leukemia. It makes sense though because my dad, as a side job, owned a NuTone business. They did like intercoms, speakers, things like that. And he used to work in an office in our basement. Also, for the past year or so, my mom has been sleeping with her cell phone under her pillow (her boyfriend likes to call her at night and then they talk for hours). I'll read that article tomorrow morning when I get a chance, but thank you again. [name retained in Alz file contact list -- emphasis added by jcm...]

Alzheimers' PREVENTION.....
From: JCMPelican @aol.com

To: Jennifer.Zeitzer@alz.org
Dear Ms. Zeitzer: Please take a look at my appeal to Dr. Marilyn Albert of Alzheimers' Advisory Board Task Force by clicking on: http://freepage.twoday.net/stories/3038870/
"No one" is doing a thing about "prevention!!!" It is totally insane to keep doing research that just pays more and more money to researchers to produce studies that are inconclusive and misleading therefore requiring "more studies....."
I have new information regarding a gene re melatonin synthesis that pertains to autism, Alzheimers and all neurodegenerative disorders. Close, chronic, prolonged EMF/EMR exposures on nightstands and headboards and other bedroom exposures, are causing every health problem all the way from poor sleep to cancer!!!
Any time you think "common sense" is something that "the powers-that-be" might consider, I am more than willing to testify before Congress about this tragic situation that if allowed to continue to spin out-of-control, has the potential of literally wiping out our healthcare system!!!
If you would like the study re the gene as well as other supporting melatonin studies re autism and Alzheimers, I am also glad to send that information.
You might try and follow-up to see why Dr. Marilyn Albert doesn't at least have enough consideration to express concerns regarding my email (above). Also, I have attempted to get information to Senatory Hillary Clinton -- also a member of the Alzheimers' Advisory Board Task Force as well as on at least one aging committee through the senate, and have been unable to make any progress whatsoever.
Thanks for any help you are able to provide to advance this "vital cause...." Joanne

December 7, 2006 -
Dear Dr. Albert: The need to notify the public about moving electric items (and some phone equipment) away from close proximity to beds is "critical!!!"
I have a copy of an article from "USA Today" (1993) that recommends moving all electric appliances away from beds. This contains a file reference to "radiation" and was sent to me by the American Cancer Society in 1994.
Two of our grandsons were diagnosed with "rare immune deficiencies" (low IgG subclasses 1 and 3 while infant/toddler ages -- signifiies "AGING") and "got well" after we moved their beds away from electric meters. The meters are/were mouned on the outside of the boys' bedroom walls.
I conducted guinea pig studies in my home. Their CBC's with diffs indicated severe neutropenia, lymphocytosis and hypersegmented neutrophils (slowed DNA synthesis/"markers for irradiation"). One out of each set of two guinea pigs died within 30 days after their cage was placed against our back bedroom wall opposite the electric meter.
One guinea pig lived for over two more years in our basement with "ambient milligauss readings" of between 3.5 to 4.5 mg at side of cage. She died from "Reactive Renal Amyloidosis" (a TSE-like problem -- "mad cow family of diseases"). We have two high voltage powerlines only 50 ft. from the front of our house. I also discovered a waterpipe that is carrying high current that was close to the cage.
My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimers about 17 months ago in spite of a PET Scan that did not reveal any pathology to explain his severe cognitive and memory problems. At that time, he had improved in one portion of his Executive Function. "Improvement" came about after I moved his electric clock radio off of his nightstand.
Shortly after that, I discontinued my husband's statin (Lipitor). Well-known to cause memory and muscle problems (although being kept from the public -- see www.spacedoc.net ), statins are wreaking all sorts of havoc, not the least of which is robbing one's brain of protection by reducing one's own production of Coenzyme Q-10. Cholesterol, itself, also offers brain protection.
My husband is now said to "not have Alzheimers" and he also recently improved in three areas of his Executive Function Test. Unfortunately, he is said to have "moderate to severe cognitive and memory impairment." I consider the combination of "close electromagnetic radiation exposure at night" PLUS ingestion of any statin, to be "a deadly combination!!!"
I give my husband several melatonin capsules (without Vitamin B-6) every night as well as a large number of other supplements including Coenzyme Q-10, selenium, magnesium, ginko biloba, etc.
You most likely know that the Leukemia drug, Gleevec, was at least at one time being considered as possible treatment for Alzheimers. Obviously, "inflammation" pertains to the development of Leukemia as well as formation of amyloid in Alzheimers' patients. Chronic inflammation is also associated with immune deficiencies.
SO, in our family alone, we have grandsons with chronic inflammation -- unrelenting asthma and sinus infections -- with diagnosis of "rare immune deficiency." No genetic link. When I brought up subject of high voltage lines in front of our house (we were daycare providers at the time of diagnosis), the Immunologist said, "well, we do know EMF's affect immune function in mice, but we don't know how much of what happens to mice happens to people.....!!!"
We had four guinea pigs with severe immune decline -- one who died later from "reactive" kidney amyloidosis -- all related to "chronic, prolonged, low level EMF/EMR exposure (electric meters).....
Our daughter has 21 noncaseating granulomas on her lungs and trachea, the cause of which remains "unexplained." She slept in a bed close to two electric meters as a child.
I was diagnosed with "pre-senile dementia" many years ago. It was only in the past few months that I realized the gas meter is the "likely culprit" regarding my health problems at that time. Not knowing the gas meter was behind "pillow position" of my bed, I just happened to move to a different location and began taking melatonin. Moving away from the gas meter (also clock radio on opposite side of bed -- induces currents on metal mattress springs), would have helped to restore natural production of melatonin also.
I have been "on a mission" to save children from Leukemia ever since. I have now been researching the toxic effects of "chronic, prolonged EMF/EMR exposures" (particularly those at night when one's body is trying to restore circadian rhythm, etc.) for well over 15 years.
Bonnie Boyum, RN (Vet's Hospital in Minneapolis) lost her 23 yr. old son to Leukemia. She phoned to tell me Michael had an electric clock and small fan on the headboard of his waterbed. Bonnie has extended permission to use her name and Michael's name in order to promote awareness in an effort to help save others.
I know of a case in the UK re a young boy dying from Leukemia. He slept close to an electric meter and a burglar alarm.
Another case in Australia -- I have the EMF measurements (file) by utility/government officials -- a teen boy died from Leukemia. His mom strongly suspects the electric meter he slept close to as the cause.
I have a booklet that was intended for distribution to power company clients as well as schools, that was prepared by the utilities' communications' experts that suggests one might want to replace electric clocks with battery-operated or wind-up clocks. This was printed after the $46 mil EMF RAPID Study -- the resultant EMF Interagency Committee Report has never been presented to Congress designating low level EMF's as Class 2B carcinogens -- and was "taken out-of-print in 2001.....!!!"
I am aware of the fact that research is ongoing re developement of drugs to halt and/or reverse formation of amyloid. While such efforts are important, we victims are pleading for the release of information to the public regarding "prevention!!!"
It is becoming more and more difficult to keep up with all of the press releases, etc. regarding younger and younger persons having cognitive and memory problems and many being diagnosed as having EOAD (early onset Alzheimers' Disease). As you know, compartively speaking, very few cases of Alzheimers are genetically linked.
I sent a plea to the Alzheimers' Association Media for the release of "prudent avoidance information" to the public while awaiting further studies. My plea(s) remain "unanswered.....!!!"
Someone needs to step up and take responsibility for informing the public that simple, cost-free (exception of possibly purchasing a battery-operated clock) measures can be taken that may help stem-the-tide re development of all health problems all the way from poor sleep to cancer!!! Alzheimers, alone, will wipe out Medicare if nothing is done in regard to "prevention!!!" This is "an avoidable healthcare crisis.....!!!!"

Dear Dr. Bohnsack: It is imperative that the parents of these two boys be contacted immediately regarding probable exposure to electrical items at night. Due to privacy issues, if it is possible to get my contact information to them by whatever route, I would be glad to share my experiences and information at no cost and also to provide references for EMF/EMR mitigation re possible improper wiring and/or grounding problems, etc.
I will send you a copy of a recent email to a member of the Alzheimers' Task Force -- my stories are long. During this "holiday season," time is limited for all but I am glad to share any and all details that will help you to help others.
The "bottom line" re your above-cited study is that I have two grandsons (cousins) who were diagnosed with rare immune deficiencies (also with no name but ony the definition of "hypogammaglobulinemia"). Both boys were deficient in IgG subclasses 1 and 3 (signifiying AGING) and they were infant/toddler ages at the time.
I discovered the boys were both sleeping close to electric meters in their own homes. They were also taken out of waterbeds and beds were replaced with standard beds. In spite of metal mattress springs -- known for carrying currents induced by electrical items and wiring close to beds, both boys' overall IGG's rose within five months of the changes. Both boys' problems were related to B-cells. One of the boys has a sister who does not have the immune deficiency but she also did not sleep next to the electric meter. Our home (daycare providers) as well as homes of both boys are/were less than 200 ft. from high voltage powerlines. The "only change" was reducing amount of "close, chronic, prolonged exposure at night" plus discontinuing daily care in our home.
I conducted guinea pig studies in my home to determine how much of the boys' exposures were related to waterbeds versus the close proximity to electric meters. One out of each set of two guinea pigs died within 30 days' of exposure!! One lived a couple more years in our basement (in spite of EMF's in range between 3.5 mg and 4.5 mg but died due to Reactive Renal Amyloidosis. That particular guinea pig initially developed osteomyelitis in one leg in addition to severe neutropenia, lymphocytosis and hypersegmented neutrophils. Three other guinea pigs were identified with same blood changes but they did not develop osteomyelis. After the move to the basement, the osteomyelitis disappeared much to the surprise of the vet.
All four of my guinea pigs (two sets of two each) developed "hyperactive airways." Asthma was also a chronic problem in both boys. I now believe the boys' breathing problems were due to hyperoxic changes/epithelial injury as opposed to a more allergic-type problem such as asthma.
I am in the process of writing a book with Prof. Olle Johansson, Karolinska Institute, titled "Inflammation and EMF/EMR" and have an accumulation of hundreds of studies related to all of the above subjects. Let me know if I can be of any help to you.
You will see from the other email I am forwarding (one to Dr. Marilyn Albert/Alzheimers' Task Force), that electric clocks are also a major concern. I would be glad to send you a copy of the "USA Today" article that I received from the American Cancer Society in 1994 recommending persons move electric clocks, etc. away from close proximity to beds. I have similar info that was prepared by power company consultants.

Joanne:
Happy New Year, and thank you for all you do to keep us informed. Your work is greatly appreciated.
One little tidbit. Perhaps you are already aware, but Dr. Perlmutter was the physician for Susan Reynard in 1993 and was a witness in the law suit that David Reynard brought againt the cell phone industry that year claiming cell phones caused his wife's brain cancer and consequent death. Dr. Perlmutter and Mr. Reynard appeared on Larry King Live with Susan Reynard's brain scans and pointed out the proximity of her brain tumor to the area where she used her cell phone. He was the first physician to postulate publicly that cell phones were a cause of brain cancer and it was his courage and forthrightness about his concern that catapulted cell phones and brain cancer into the national spotlight. That appearance led the cell phone industry to hold a press conference where they claimed thousands of studies proved cell phones to be safe. There were no relevant safety studies in reality, and when that was made clear a few days later following media inquiry, Congressional hearings were ordered that uncovered that cell phones were given a waiver by the FDA in pre-market testing -- so they were put into commerce with no safety testing -- and that eventually led to the WTR research program which I headed through the 1990s.

Since the American Cancer Society used to furnish EMF information re "prudent avoidance" -- recommendations to move electric items away from close proximity to beds -- I am interested in your comments as well as Dr. Perlmutter's opinion regarding a "focused effort" in this regard.
Prof. Olle Johansson is willing to do the sort of studies needed to confirm EMF/EMR-related toxicity as being causal in the cases of my two grandsons who were diagnosed with rare immune deficiencies. The "bottom line" is that both boys "got well" after their beds were moved away from walls opposite electric meters. The chances of even one boy having their particular IgG subclass deficiency was considered to be "infitismal." Then his cousin (living in another city) was identified........
I have lots of other facts and information. You may be interested in reviewing my latest appeal to one of the new members of the Alzheimers' Advisory Board Task Force which can be accessed by clicking on:
http://freepage.twoday.net/stories/3038870/
If you or Dr. Perlmutter can be instrumental in any way insofar as obtaining funding for the "honest, conclusive studies" that are so desperately needed -- that only Prof. Olle Johansson can provide (he has been battling for "action and honesty" on behalf of EMF/EMR victims around-the-world for years) your help will be greatly appreciated!!!
If you are not able to offer insight or other help regarding funding, you will be providing a valuble service by including the reference to the Hallberg/Johansson Alzheimers' study referenced above on your websites and in other publications [ http://www.townsendletter.com/ ]. The facts reported in the Alzheimers' study involve another aspect of the EMF/EMR problems -- that of being too far away from antennas which necessitates "stronger signals." There are many variables but identifying the need for minimum recommended distances from certain sources will help greatly toward making responsible decisions re all exposures.
Dr. Perlmutter needs to know about Prof. Johansson's major concerns and dedication to the increasingly desperate cause -- "EMF/EMR-related toxicity" due to close, chronic, prolonged exposures. The dangers of sleeping close to electrical items should be emphasized in speeches, during interviews and in publications while awaiting additional studies re the more distant chronic, prolonged exposures such as residences and other facilities located within certain distances from telecommunications' antennae, high voltage powerlines, substations, etc.
Studies and recommendations are, of course, also needed regarding chronic, prolonged cell phone usage as well as radio and monitoring equipment, etc. used in many professions. Many workers including police and firemen carry RF-emitting technology in close contact with their bodies every day of the week. Many "innocent victims" are also sleeping close to some of the same equipment they are exposed to on-the-job!
As you and Dr. Perlmutter already know, vitamins, supplements, diet, exercise and other "healthy alternatives," do help mitigate at least some of the harm from low dose radiation -- whether ionizing or nonionizing.
It will take the combined, serious efforts of many caring persons to begin to help patch up our downward-spiraling healthcare system.........
Thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide! Take care - Joanne

EMF/EMR...night exposures (cell phone under pillow/Alzheimers...2007)
I received the following email response tonight from a woman whose mom has early Alzeheimers (she is still driving and working). She had written a plea for help in dealing with her mom's symptoms (on a chat forum). This lady did not ask any questions about EMF/EMR. I review various sites looking for persons who might benefit from learning about moving electrical items away from beds. When I saw that her dad died from Leukemia AND her mom now has Alzheimers, I knew there had to be one or more connections to EMF/EMR exposures. Take care - Joanne

Email from Anonymous Chat Forum Person to jcmpelican @aol.com 5-01-07:
Thank you for your email... I think you may be onto something. I knew that there are theories and what not that electrics can be linked to alzheimers but I didn't know it could be linked to leukemia. It makes sense though because my dad, as a side job, owned a NuTone business. They did like intercoms, speakers, things like that. And he used to work in an office in our basement. Also, for the past year or so, my mom has been sleeping with her cell phone under her pillow (her boyfriend likes to call her at night and then they talk for hours). I'll read that article tomorrow morning when I get a chance, but thank you again. [name retained in Alz file contact list -- emphasis added by jcm...]

Alzheimers' PREVENTION.....
From: JCMPelican @aol.com

To: Jennifer.Zeitzer@alz.org
Dear Ms. Zeitzer: Please take a look at my appeal to Dr. Marilyn Albert of Alzheimers' Advisory Board Task Force by clicking on: http://freepage.twoday.net/stories/3038870/
"No one" is doing a thing about "prevention!!!" It is totally insane to keep doing research that just pays more and more money to researchers to produce studies that are inconclusive and misleading therefore requiring "more studies....."
I have new information regarding a gene re melatonin synthesis that pertains to autism, Alzheimers and all neurodegenerative disorders. Close, chronic, prolonged EMF/EMR exposures on nightstands and headboards and other bedroom exposures, are causing every health problem all the way from poor sleep to cancer!!!
Any time you think "common sense" is something that "the powers-that-be" might consider, I am more than willing to testify before Congress about this tragic situation that if allowed to continue to spin out-of-control, has the potential of literally wiping out our healthcare system!!!
If you would like the study re the gene as well as other supporting melatonin studies re autism and Alzheimers, I am also glad to send that information.
You might try and follow-up to see why Dr. Marilyn Albert doesn't at least have enough consideration to express concerns regarding my email (above). Also, I have attempted to get information to Senatory Hillary Clinton -- also a member of the Alzheimers' Advisory Board Task Force as well as on at least one aging committee through the senate, and have been unable to make any progress whatsoever.
Thanks for any help you are able to provide to advance this "vital cause...." Joanne
