(Summary of Radio-Canada Interview by the Editor of this blog)
Original broadcast in
French
Dr. Belpomme, President
of ARTAC (Association for Research on
Treatment Against Cancer) is asked by the interviewer about his creation nearly
three years ago of the European Cancer
and Environment Research Institute (ECERI). The Institute
collaborates with 15-20 European teams researching the environmental causes of
not only cancer but also other diseases and disorders, including Alzheimer's
and autism.
According to Dr. Dominique Belpomme, 80-90% of cancers are linked
to the environment. Living was not always “carcinogenic”. Cancer is a
recent disease due to the fact that it has become a scourge of huge
proportions. Cancer as well as obesity and type 2 diabetes have exploded. We
are obliged to ask why. The answer is: life style and pollution:
chemical
pollution, pesticides, electromagnetic fields (EMF) produced by wireless
technology. Do we continue this technology for purely economic reasons or
do we take into account the very high health costs that we will be paying
as a result?
Referring to the Canadian safety code, Dr. Belpomme mentions the
scientific denial - for purely economic and financial reasons. There is no
scientific controversy. High-level independent scientists all agree that there
is a major risk from propagation of wireless technology: appearance of certain
cancers (EMF are recognized as“potentially carcinogenic” by WHO) and the risk
of Alzheimer’s in electrosensitive persons.
In less than four years, Dr.
Belpomme has questioned and examined clinically more than 1,000 electrohypersensitivity
(EHS) – self reported patients. These are real sick persons who are in a
pre-Alzheimer’s state.
Canada’s safety code recognizes heating of tissues. What
is the most conclusive scientific proof of biological effects? : animal
experiments (psychological explanations for their afflictions cannot
be attributed to animals) and biological tests of electrosensitive persons
which indicate a pre-Alzheimer’s state. These tests include:
- Brain imagery
showing vascular hypoperfusion in the area of the brain (the limbic system)
where Alzheimer’s starts
- 2-10 times higher levels of histamine in the blood.
-
Detection of other markers of the opening of the blood brain barrier.
- Higher
levels of auto-antibodies against O- myelin and / or stress proteins
- Decrease
in the production of melatonin in 24h urine
These indications are
objective and show the same biological anomalies as found in animals exposed to
EMF.
What can we do? Treat these sick persons with natural anti-inflammatory
products and anti-histamine medications and anti-oxidants; correct the deficit
in vitamins and oligo elements to avoid Alzheimer’s. The sick persons are
partially reimbursed by the French system, but these medicines are not
recognized as specifically for treating electrosensitive persons, only for
their biological or clinical properties. More and more electrosensitive persons
are being recognized as handicapped.
We must take daily measures to protect
ourselves: never use a cell phone for more than 20 minutes a day, in sequences
of 6-minute calls. Limit use of cell phones by children and adolescents. Ban
cell phones before age 12. Pregnant women should use cell phones as little as
possible to protect the very vulnerable fetus.
Dr. Belpomme then talks about
smart meters: better to call these “intelligent” meters, “dumb” meters. They
add to the electrosmog. The interviewer says these emit 83 seconds a day. Dr.
Belpomme replies that more than the dose, it is the repetition of the dose that
makes the poison.
Electrosensitive persons are also affected by artificial and
solar light.
Today, risks from exposure to electromagnetic fields are
recognized by the whole scientific community. The latest statistics from Europe
indicate that 10% of the population suffers from this syndrome of intolerance
to EMF and the numbers are growing. These people are totally handicapped in
their lives. Statistics in peer-reviewed publications predict that in the next
50 years, from 25 to 50% of the population will be afflicted. Dr. David O.
Carpenter in the United States says exactly the same.
The interviewer asks,
how can you explain that the most renowned organizations contest the research,
saying there is no scientific evidence or at best, weak evidence?
Dr. Belpomme
replies by referring to the three BioInitiative Reports compiled by 30 of the
top world experts. Out of over 3,000 articles published in the best
international reviews, two-thirds say there is a health risk. He goes on to
emphasize again the denial and financial interests which push the media to
misinform the public.
When asked about his own use of wireless
technology, Dr. Belpomme says he uses a cell phone for only a few minutes a day
– for emergency calls. There is no Wi-Fi in his offices, everything is wired.
