"_5-HT contents change in peripheral blood of workers exposed to microwave and high frequency radiation
Zhonghua Yu Fang Yi Xue Za Zhi. 1989 Jul; 23(4):207-10
The 5-HT contents of in the whole blood were inversely proportional to the power density of microwave and high frequency groups. The incidence of neurasthenic syndrome, unsymmetical skin temperature in both limbs and hypotension was higher in the microwave and high frequency radiation groups that that in the control group. The incidence of bradycardia and some abnormal items of electrocardiagraph in the microwave group was obviously greater.
Note decreased 5-HT levels are associated with decreased serotonin levels and are an indicator of inflammation. 5-HT is the direct source in the body of serotonin. Decreased levels of serotonin are associated with depression or anxiety regardless of the illness that they are associated with, that is decreased serotonin levels are associated with cancer and depression, depression and rheumatic illness, depression and neurological disease, depression and infectious disease._"
From "Would You Stick Your Head In A Microwave Oven?" By Gerald Goldberg
I don't know if there is anything else that would explain the symptoms of anxiety that affect people with CFS. But I am sure some out there will offer alternative explanations. [Of course, depression can be a result of just being sick - but this I would postulate works in conjunction with a decrease in 5-HT and hence seratonin in the brain.] The unexplained anxiety that I felt when I was sick was strongest at peak cell phone usage times here in Japan.

Acupuncture
Hi,
I have been getting acupuncture treatments for the severe allergic reaction I had from eating AjinoFuckinMoto's chemical poison flavoring. I had developed a horrible ithcy rash all over my body. Anyway, it's been two weeks since then and the acupuncture seems to be working quite well. I am impressed and so are my acupuncturists. I decided to give a few acupuncture places a try. Acupuncture seems to be very cheap here in Japan - I am paying about $15 US per treatment and each treatment is about one hour. Because of this I have also been introduced to a Japanese form of acupuncture which is called Ryodoraku. It is quite interesting and I hope to be able to bring my body into balance with these treatments. Every practitioner (I've seen three so far) seems to do things quite different from the others and I believe that it is all working. Unfortunately, because of the added electrosmog from digital broadcasting I am feeling quite electrosensitive especially when I go out since our apartment is somewhat shielded. Also, I am seriously thinking about trying NAET (Nambudripads Allergy Elimination Technique) - (see http://www.naet.com/subscribers/index.html) to get rid of my allergies for once and for all. Then hopefully I can get on with my life and take care of the other problems, the number one of which is finding a place in this world where I can live with my wife and son away from this debilitating electrosmog.
Today, my wife and I went to speak to the PTA at an elementary school about this problem. I spoke about my personal experience and then my wife, Chihiro, spoke covering most of the bases regarding the hidden dangers of this horrible technology.
On another note, one of our favorite restaurants had changed hands when I came back from our trip and went there. It is a Nepali/Indian restaurant. I ran into the owner on the street the other day and he told me that he had suddenly become sick and couldn't work so they had to sell their restaurants. I had told him before that his cell phone would make him sick but he seems to think rather that someone put an evil spell on him. Oh well! I guess some people can not think beyond certain limitations. What can you do? It is one of the problems with the world we live in. People are just too simple minded.
Anyway, that's all for now. Over and out.
Cheerio!

MICROWAVING IRAQ: July 9th, 2006
MICROWAVING IRAQ
“ Pacifying” Rays Pose New Hazards To Iraqis
By William Thomas 01/24/05 ( World Exclusive )
Preface
Desperate to improve images of civilian carnage, US commanders are using portable electromagnetic-frequency weapons in Fallujah and other “hot spots” in the Sunni Triangle to pacify restive neighborhoods with invisible EM radiation. “Active Denial” antenna arrays mounted on Humvees are also being deployed to panic and disperse hostile crowds by flash-burning exposed flesh with microwaves. But unintended side effects from the hidden rooftop transmitters are reportedly triggering violent attacks by exposed insurgents—while leading to AWOL rates of up to 15% among US forces disoriented by these same weapons, as well as the electromagnetic emanations from high-power radars, radios and “jammers”.
On the rooftop of a shrapnel-pocked building in the ruins of Fallujah, a team of GI’s stealthily sets up a gray plastic dome about two-feet in diameter. Keeping well back from the sight lines of the street and nearby buildings, they plug the cable connectors on the side of the “popper” into a power unit. The grunts have no clue what the device does. They are just following orders.
“ Most of the worker-bees that are placing these do not even know what is inside the ‘domes’, just that they were told where to place them by Intel weenies with usually no nametag,” reports my source, a very well informed combat veteran I will call “Hank”.
“ Intel” stands for “intelligence” officers who target the most restive neighborhoods in a country gripped by anarchy and chaos. The lack of nametags indicates membership in a spooky “alphabet agency”, either within or outside the military chain of command. Similar “black: teams removed “Made In The USA” chemical weapons from Iraqi trenches after Desert Storm. [Bringing The War Home by William Thomas]
The grunts call the plastic devices “poppers” or “domes”. Once activated, each hidden transmitter emits a widening circle of invisible energy capable of passing through metal, concrete and human skulls up to half a mile away. “They are saturating the area with ULF, VLF and UHF freqs,” Hanks says, with equipment derived from US Navy undersea sonar and communications.
But its not being used to locate and talk to submarines under Baghdad.
After powering up the unit, the grunts quickly exit the area. It is their commanders’ fervent hope that any male survivors enraged by brutal American bombardments that damaged virtually every building in this once thriving “City of Mosques”, displacing a quarter-million residents while murdering thousands of children, women and elders in their homes—will lose all incentive for further resistance and revenge.
A dedicated former soldier, whose experiences during and after Desert Storm are chronicled in my book, Bringing The War Home, Hank stays in close touch with his unit serving “in theater” in Iraq. When I asked how many “poppers” are being used to irradiate Iraqi neighborhoods, he checked and got back to me. There are “at least 25 of these that have been deployed to theater, and used. Some have conked out and been removed, so I do not know how many are currently active and broadcasting.”
As a patriotic American, Hank believes that wars must be fought by the rules he was taught and the principles his country stands for. Like many Desert Storm veterans, he would like to get his hands on retired General Norman Schwartzkopf, who covered up combat log reports of confirmed chemical weapons exposures during that 1990-‘91 conflict. Veterans say Schwartzkopf’s “treason”—to use their word—was largely responsible for more than the officially admitted 12,000 deaths, and 200,000 Gulf War Illness casualties among returning GIs. [Bringing The War Home by William Thomas]
Now Hank wants to warn his comrades that they are again at grave risk from radioactive heavy metal particles inhaled form microscopic depleted uranium debris. Be careful around Najaf, he adds, where mustard agents from Desert Storm and Saddam’s post-war repression still linger. Having been there, Hank concurs with historians who concluded that the Shia and Kurdish revolts would have brought down Saddam’s regime if Bush Sr. had not allowed the dictator’s gunships to fly against the uprisings he encouraged.
Hank is still losing friends in Iraq, where front-line soldiers put their current casualty figures from all causes—combat, accidents, psychological crackups and suicides—at 5,000 dead and 22,000 to 30,000 injured.
But these GIs volunteered to extract “payback” against a country many were falsely told was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Iraq’s traumatized children want only to grow up with their families and play with their friends in the suburbs. Hank blames those at the top for hospital counts of upwards of 65,000 children killed since the 2003 invasion.
He is also concerned that innocent Iraqi families and unsuspecting GIs alike are being used as test subjects for a new generation of “psychotronic” weapons using invisible beams across the entire electromagnetic spectrum to selectively alter moods, behavior and bodily processes. “Bottom line,” Hanks says about the poppers, “they are very powerful transmitters, have multi-channel/frequency send/receive multi-task capabilities, are being placed inside the area(s) where people live without their knowing it “
The Air Force and Navy have been working for decades on beam weapons that can just as easily be turned against Americans at home.
“ The ‘poppers’ are capable of using a combo of ULF, VLF, UHF and EHF wavelengths in any combination at the same time, sometimes using one as a carrier wave for the others,” Hank explains, in a process called superheterodyning. The silent frequencies daily sweeping Fallujah and other trouble spots are the same Navy “freqs that drove whales nuts and made them go astray onto beaches.”
MICROWAVING IRAQ
The Gulf War veteran observes that occupied Iraq has become a “saturation environment” of electromagnetic radiation. Potentially lethal electromagnetic smog from high-power US military electronics and experimental beam weapons is placing already hard-hit local populations–-particularly children—at even higher risk of experiencing serious illness, suicidal depression, impaired cognitive ability, even death.
American troops constantly exposed “up close” to their own microwave transmitters, battlefield radars and RF weapons are also seeing their health eroded by electromagnetic sickness. It’s common, Hank recalls, for GIs to warm themselves on cold desert nights by basking in the microwaves radiating from their QUEEMS communications and RATT radar rigs
RATT TRAPS
According to Army manual TM 11-5820-890-10-1, SINGARS voice and text messaging radios have a range up to 22 kilometers when mounted on a Humvee. Operating in the microwave bands between 30 MHz to 87.975 MHz, each 2320 channel transceiver radiates electromagnetic energy from base stations employing a pair of antennas placed at least 75-feet apart.
But even this is not enough to defeat the tyranny of distance. As an Army “after action” report revealed after Desert Storm, “With a front of nearly 350 miles and a operating depth of 200-400 miles long range communications became imperative.”
But the AN/VRC 46 SINGARS—essentially a military version of a mobile phone network—did not work well. “Because of the great distances involved teams were not able to maintain communications in order to relay information, request support, or be notified of additional incidents,” the report states. “The operations also saw a total break down in the ability + or all types of Communications Army wide…between the CP [Command Post] and unit teams.” [ARCENT Unit: 22D SUPCOM Box ID: BX005554]
The same communications breakdowns occurred between units during the long drive to Baghdad along “ambush alley”. The solution is to use up to 50 Humvees scattered in line-of-sight across the flat desert sands as “retransmit” stations to relay messages to distant units. Humvee and backpack-mounted SINGARS are also used extensively in Iraq’s urban areas. The result: constant and pervasive electromagnetic pollution that interferes with cellular processes in human brains and bodies.
Constant microwave emissions from ground-sweeping RATT rigs and SINGARS mobile microwave networks are much more powerful than civilian microwave cell phone nets linked in many clinical studies to maladies ranging from asthma, cataracts, headaches, memory loss, early Alzheimer’s, bad dreams and cancer.
Even more powerful US military radars, radios and “jammers” blasting from ground bases and overflying aircraft add to this electromagnetic din.
Like ocean waves “piggy-backing” into rogue giants, harmonic waves from this storm of randomly intersecting frequencies cause unintended power spikes, while creating new wavelengths of woe never before encountered by anyone on Earth.
This is bad enough. But this is also Iraq, Hank says, where ever-present sand acts as miniature quartz reflectors, unpredictably amplifying the ricocheting electronic smog so thick that if it were visible, every vehicle in Baghdad and the surrounding Sunni Triangle would be driving blind with their headlights on.
THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
This is grim news to friend and foe alike—already overloaded by constant adrenal stress, waterborne pollutants, infectious sand fleas, dehydration, pharmaceutical drugs and exposure to radioactive Uranium-238 fired in “hose ‘em down” exuberance by US ground and air cannons and cruise missiles.
As Hank puts it, DU is “the gift that keeps on giving.” For the next four billion years, medical investigators say, large populated expanses of Kosovo, Afghanistan, Puerto Rico and Iraq will remain lethally radioactive from Made In America depleted uranium dust.
What kind of people would do this?
Clinical tests have repeatedly shown how microwaves “rev up” incipient cancer cells several hundred times. Triggered by nuclear radiation, and turned rogue by electromagnetic warfare unleashed by US forces, human cancer cells have been found to continue proliferating wildly—even after the power source is turned off. [Scorched Earth by William Thomas]
Another wild card is radon, Hank reckons. Typically found wherever oil pools underground, pockets of this invisible, odorless and potentially deadly gas tend to concentrate in natural bowls between dunes and other niches out of the desert wind.
Ordered to “dig in”, grunts typically scrape a 300 to 1000-foot diameter position to a depth of five feet, Hank explained. They then spray the ground with diesel fuel, adding to the toxic effects of any radon they’ve just released. Hank claimed that during Desert Storm, his unit’s radon detectors went off even more often than the constant ringing of chemical warfare exposure detectors. [Bringing The War Home by William Thomas]
Just standing around a QUEEMS or RATT rig, “makes you stupid,” this combat veteran added. Which is precisely the intent behind that transmitting dish on Fallujah roofs.
“ It’s basic stun weaponry,” Hank explains during an interview filled with revelations that later check out. The idea behind microwaving Iraq’s more restive cities, he says, is to keep them “so agitated they cannot coalesce into a full force” of resistance fighters.
Overriding subtle bodily processes, selectable frequencies beamed invisibly through neighborhoods can depress the central nervous systems of everyone within a half-mile, “destroying their initiative and making them docile and lethargic.” At least that’s the plan.
COOKING CLASSES
Details of various directed energy weapons used by US forces in Iraq to knock out electronics, induce psychological passivity, and possibly even melt people and vehicles remain under tight military wraps. But world media is reporting deployment of portable “directed energy” weapons in neighborhoods as troublesome as any in the USA if foreign troops murdered Americans and destroyed their homes.
Dubbed “active-denial”, this supposedly “non-lethal” mobile microwave weapon was developed through the 1990s at the U S Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland, New Mexico, and the Marine Corps’ Joint Nonlethal Weapons Directorate. [Daily Telegraph Sept 21/04]
Researchers soon found that frying flesh at a distance is not easy. With up to two-thirds of directed microwave energy scattered through transmission, the only way to heat skin painfully enough to encourage its owner to flee the area is to hit her with frequencies much higher than the microwave ovens linked to pathological changes in human blood chemistry. [Journal Franz Weber #19; Electromagnetic Fields by B. Blake Levitt]
A triumph of misdirected talents and treasure, a microwave array mounted on a Humvee can heat water molecules in the skin at a distance. But what makes this microwave weapon so appealing, say its PR-conscious boosters, is that projected agony equivalent to grasping a hot light bulb leaves no visible wounds—and stops instantly when the beam is avoided or removed. [Daily Telegraph Sept 21/04; [India Telegraph Sept 19/04]
Just how enthusiastically the rest of the world greets illegal gadgets wielded during an illegal occupation remains to be seen. International treaties signed by the United States ban directed energy weapons.
Continued <<
Legalities and morality aside, the numbers for the Pentagon’s latest energy weapon are impressive: 95-GHz transmitted energy tuned to penetrate flesh to depth of 1/64 of an inch at an officially admitted range beyond 1,000 yards.
By contrast, cell phones and portable phones have been shown to emit hazardous microwaves at “just” 2 to 6 GHz.
Despite an “earliest estimated” deployment in 2009, “heat ray” prototypes have been rushed to Iraq by a military desperate to improve the images of carnage being beamed into hundreds of millions of Muslim homes by an even more powerful beam weapon: satellite TV.
BRINGING THE WAR HOME
Hank, whose contacts also extend into Congress and the Pentagon, claims that the Humvee-portable microwave “crowd control” system was unveiled in September 2004 against some 400,000 Americans protesting genocide in Iraq at the Republican National Convention in New York City. It is not known if the microwave weapons were actually used to augment chemical agents dispensed along with beatings by police. [www.veteransforpeace.org; EE Times June 6/01]
...........
That same month, at least four US Army and Marine units received ray gun equipped Humvees, dubbed “Sheriffs”. Each will have to be protected after extending a 10-foot diameter “bulls eye” antenna into an environment bristling with rocket propelled grenades and suicide bombers. [Daily Telegraph Sept 21/04
In a bloodless sequel to the butchery in Somalia mythologized in “Blackhawk Down”, the army hopes their invisible heat beams can disperse crowds enraged over the continuing tortures at Abu Ghraib, and as many as 100,000 civilians killed since the invasion began—without injuring too many
Iraqis permanently. [Reuters Oct 28/04]
Getting microwaved beats getting shot, argues the Pentagon. A 2-second burst from an Active Denial beam heats exposed skin to 130° F.
“ It’s not harmful to internal organs because it doesn’t penetrate the skin beyond 1/64 of an inch,” soothes PR spokesman Conrad Dziewulski, “It will be swept across the battlefield or directed at an individual for a few seconds.”
Dziewulski did not elaborate on the likelihood of frightened young soldiers used to hosing down “threats” with automatic weapons fire similarly holding down the trigger on microwave guns aimed at the same angry crowds. While the army says their jeep-mounted weapon cannot be “dialed up” to higher power levels, US forces are authorized to use continues, steady microwave “fire” to cook snipers.
Highly disciplined US military volunteers confirm after live tests that the pain inflicted by this latest wonder weapon is so intense, the instant and overwhelming reaction is panic. Rich Garcia was subjected to the microwave beam during testing in New Mexico. “It just feels like your skin is on fire,” he said. “When you get out of the path of the beam, or shut off the beam, everything goes back to normal. There’s no residual pain.” [India Telegraph Sept 19/04]
Alan Shaffer, director for plans, pain and programs with the Pentagon's Office of Defense Research and Engineering, believes the new weapon will curb Iraqi resentment by burning and humiliating them instead of killing and maiming them outright. “You get hit with the high-powered microwave, and you run away,” he enthused.
Now a contract employee working for the Army, Ret. Lt. Col. Wesley “Bo” Barbour, says that the non-lethal weapons being used in Iraq “will enable commanders to break the cycle of violence. Instead of shooting them dead and promoting further violence, you modify their behavior.” [www.defesnetech.org; Aug 2002]
But which way? After having their anger further inflamed by a heat ray, Iraqis opposed to an Israeli-style US occupation will most likely return with old-fashioned AK-47s, rocket launchers and improvised bombs.
For protesters who opt for the proven power of nonviolent witnessing, effective countermeasures against this $400 million microwave weapon include wearing thick clothing and carrying a tin trash can lid as a shield or reflector.
US “SUPER WEAPONS” ALLEGEDLY TESTED IN BAGHDAD
According to veteran combat cameraman Patrick Dillon and interview subject Majid al-Ghazali, the first US forces pushing into Baghdad also tested another electromagnetic “super weapon”.
Compelled to serve in the Iraqi National Guard for more than three decades, Majid is intimately acquainted with conventional weaponry. But on April 12th, 2003, Majid was sheltering with his family in their Baghdad home when he saw an odd-looking tank wheel into their street.
Suddenly a blinding stream of “fire and lightning” shot from the tank, engulfing a passenger bus and three cars. The big bus become semi-molten, sagging “like a wet rag” before shrinking to a twisted blob about the size of a VW bug, Majid says. Hundreds of soldiers and civilians were shriveled “to the size of newborn babies” amidst puddles of metal and fibers from melted tires. [Cox News Thursday, Aug 15/02]
Other Electromagnetic Pulse weapons (EMP) and special cruise missiles were also apparently used to knock out Iraq’s phone and electrical grids—with unknown electromagnetic effects on children and other members of the civilian population.
AS SAFE AS DEPLETED URANIUM
Practicing its own version of active denial, the Pentagon says it doesn’t want to hurt anybody. At least not with its microwave oven gun. The army has spent $4 million testing the device on male volunteers to ensure that their heat rays will not permanently harm big healthy males.
Infants, young children, elders, pregnant women and their fetuses will be tested for the first time in Iraq by being exposed to an invisible energy traveling almost instantaneously for more than a kilometer through concrete, glass and steel.
Experts warn that their still developing nervous and immune systems, and brain-wave activity make children especially vulnerable to deep microwave penetration into their thin skulls and soft brain tissue. Children’s brains are affected for long periods after very short-term exposure to much less powerful cell phones and cell phone towers.
“ Their brain wave patterns are abnormal and stay like that for a long period. This could affect their mood and ability to learn,” says British electromagnetics researcher Dr. Gerard Hyland. [“Dialing Our Cells” by William Thomas]
After acknowledging acute non-thermal dangers from their own electronics in the late 1950s, the US military effectively lobbied against stricter public health limits on electromagnetic exposure. [Scorched Earth by William Thomas]
Today, military officials who censor medically confirmed radiation casualties among families felled by depleted uranium fallout in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Puerto Rico and Iraq also insist that their “crowd-control” microwave weapons are completely “safe” because they do not actually burn skin. This is like saying that smoking is safe if you don’t singe your fingers.
“Perception of skin warming by microwave frequencies in up to 100 GHz is not a reliable mechanism of protection against potentially harmful exposure,” explains doctor John Mercola. Recent studies “are finding significant biological effects at lower and lower power densities.” These effects include short-term memory loss and decreased ability to learn—crucial capabilities for anyone attempting to survive in Iraq. [“Dialing Our Cells”}
Being continuously swept by concealed “poppers”, as well as routine radio and radio transmissions, can trigger a cascade of changes in human cells acutely sensitive to Earth’s subtle electromagnetic field. As researcher Robert Becker points out, even low power microwaves “can interfere with the cues that keep our biological cycle properly timed.”
Human eyes, ovaries and testes are particularly vulnerable to microwave radiation. But the Pentagon says no one will be blinded or sterilized by their Humvee-mounted microwave, unless the probing beam lingers.
Military researchers have published studies claiming that unborn babies can be cooked slightly by microwaves without suffering lasting harm. But despite assurances from experts who have dedicated their lives to hurting complete strangers, radiation emitted by military radars, communications and weapons systems are known to cause learning disabilities in fetuses, as well as damaging fetal immune systems.
Russian researchers call these adverse health effects, “microwave sickness.” As Becker relates in The Body Electric:
“ Its first signs are low blood pressure and slow pulse. The later and most common manifestations are chronic excitation of the sympathetic nervous system [stress syndrome] and high blood pressure. This phase also often includes headache, dizziness, eye pain, sleeplessness, irritability, anxiety, stomach pain, nervous tension, inability to concentrate, hair loss, plus an increased incidence of appendicitis, cataracts, reproductive problems, and cancer. The chronic symptoms are eventually succeeded by crisis of adrenal exhaustion and ischemic heart disease [the blockage of coronary arteries and heart attacks].”
Clinical studies show that the genetic effects of microwave poisoning—including weakened immunity and predisposition to cancer—are passed down through subsequent generations. Excessive exposure can also lead to depression and suicide, as seen among EMF-exposed GIs in Iraq. [Scorched Earth]
The negative health effects of microwave exposure are cumulative and irreversible. A former member of the World Health Organization’s review panel for Radio Frequency research, Professor Stephen Cleary of Virginia lost his funding after demonstrating an altered rate of DNA synthesis from a single exposure to microwave radiation. [Electronics Australia Nov/99]
Electromagnetic pollution has also been found to amplify the carcinogenic properties of chemical and radiological exposure. [Scorched Earth]
MICROWAVING WOMBS AT GREENHAM COMMON
While the mobile microwave weapons currently deployed in Iraq may or may not lead to lasting harm, rooftop “poppers” and “domes” left to radiate for days at a time are irradiating unsuspecting families already coping with illness, wounds, hunger and the stress of losing homes and loved ones, whose rotting corpses cannot be buried under the sights of marine snipers.
A preview of what lies in store for long-suffering families in Iraq can be gleaned from Greenham Common, where the British Army reportedly used an electromagnetic weapon against 30,000 women who had camped for nearly two decades around that UK military base to protest the deployment of nuclear-tipped US cruise missiles.
One day in the summer of 1984, more than 2,000 British troops suddenly pulled back, leaving the fence unguarded.
Peace mom Kim Besley recalls that as curious women approached the gate, they “started experiencing odd health effects: swollen tongues, changed heartbeats, immobility, feelings of terror, pains in the upper body.”
Besley found her 30-year-old daughter too ill to stand. Other symptoms typical of electromagnetic exposure included skin burns, severe headaches, drowsiness, post-menopausal menstrual bleeding and menstruation at abnormal times. Besley’s daughter’s cycle changed to 14 days and took a year to return to normal.
Two late-term spontaneous miscarriages, impaired speech, and an apparent circulatory failure prompted the women to begin monitoring for a directed-energy beam, Using an EMR meter, they measured beams sweeping their camp at 100-times normal background levels. [Scorched Earth by William Thomas]
Another harrowing example involves the sudden illness and cancer deaths of US embassy staff in Moscow after being deliberately targeted with very weak pulsed microwaves by Soviet experimenters and fascinated CIA onlookers running “Project Phoenix” in 1962. [Scorched Earth]
Very Low Frequency (VLF) weapons include the dozens of “poppers” currently deployed in Iraq, which can be dialed to or “long wave” frequencies capable of traveling great distances through the ground or intervening structures. As air force Lt Col. Peter L. Hays, Director of the Institute for National Security Studies reveals, “Transmission of long wavelength sound creates biophysical effects; nausea, loss of bowels, disorientation, vomiting, potential internal organ damage or death may occur.”
Hays calls VLF weapons “superior” because their directed energy beams do not lose their hurtful properties when traveling through air to tissue. A French weapon radiating at 7 hertz “made the people in range sick for hours.”
Located at the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum, symptoms of VLF sickness include “giddiness, nausea or fainting”.
At the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum, symptoms of microwave sickness include cataracts, headaches, earaches, blurring of vision, short-term memory loss, numbing, tingling, buzzing, fatigue, anxiety, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and cancer.
[“Dialing Our Cells”]
“DRIVEN NUTS” BY ELECTROMAGENTICS IN IRAQ
Like so many other American blunders among the ruins of Babylon, the intended microwave “pacification” of rebellious neighborhoods is having unintended effects. In actual “field-testing” in the Sunni Triangle, Hank has learned that the hidden, dome-shaped devices “are removing inhibitions”. Armed individuals, already highly motivated to kill American forces are reportedly “losing all restraint” when exposed to the electromagnetic beams.
Such variable effects have been known scientifically since 1963, when electromagnetics researchers Dr. Robert Beck found that exposure to certain frequencies sparks riotous behavior, while other frequency beams can cause a sense of well-being—or deep depression. [Scorched Earth]
According to Hank’s buddies in Baghdad, the frequency-shifting “poppers” “are having some remarkable effects on the locals as well as our own people.” But these effects differ. Possibly, Hank surmises, because Americans come from daily domestic and military environments saturated with electromagnetic frequencies, while many Iraqis still live without reliable electricity in places largely free from electromagnetics before the American invasion.
“ Iraq is not really as saturated with EM as it is here,” Hank points out. “The fact that the locals have not been exposed to this type of radiation from birth as we have might mean they have a different reactivity to this stuff.”
According to members of Hank’s former unit, constant exposure to invisible emissions from radar and radio rigs—as well as to their own microwave weapons—is backfiring. “Our people are driven nuts,” Hank says. “It makes them stupid for two or three days.”
The Desert Storm veteran compared the emotional effects of constant exposure to military microwaves to a lingering low-pressure weather system that never goes away. “You feel way down for days at a time,” he emphasizes
As a consequence, AWOL rates among “spaced out” US troops are as high as 15%, Hank reports. For many deserters, it is not cowardice or conscience that is causing them to absent themselves from duty. “They are feeling so depressed,” Hank explains. “They don’t feel good. So they leave.”
According to Hank’s front-line buddies, Iraqis exposed to secret beam weapons “get laid back, confused and mellow, and then blast out in a rage, as opposed to our folks going on what could only be called a ‘bender’, and turning into a mean drunk for a while.”
Once they wander away from direct electromagnetic-fire, startled GIs come to their senses. They return to their units, Hank explains, saying, “What was I thinking?”
The recovery rate among US troops “seems to be about a day or so, where the locals are not getting over it in less than a week or more on average,” Hank has learned
While electromagnetically disoriented GIs are not being court-martialed for inadvertent absence from duty, they remain at heightened risk, with reaction times and brain functions sharply degraded by electromagnetic pollution in a combat environment.
Or their bodies and brains may sicken later, after even more vulnerable women and male GIs return home dosed with microwave-enhanced depleted uranium illness—and are mustered out of a military that is still not counting more than one million civilian corpses since the first American attacks in 1991.
It is Hank’s hope that his revelations will prompt public debate over the secret use of electromagnetic weapons in Iraq. But lost in the arguments over these supposedly “non-lethal” weapons is a much bigger question: What are Americans doing there?
Whether soldier or civilian at home, it is our imperative duty to stop supporting those responsible for ongoing “weapons tests” in Iraq. As electrochemical “beings of light,” the strongest electromagnetic force on Earth is human conscience, acted upon.

At the end of September, 22 physicians and supporters met in the area of Freiburg with the aim to prepare the now completed FREIBURGER APPEAL.
In the present climate of heated discussion if and to what degree humans could be affected by mobile phone radiation in their vicinity, we as physicians in particular have to take an official stand! We are convinced that it is our duty as physicians not just to support our patients theraputically but also to keep the principle of precaution in mind, in particular when precaution is being sacrificed for political reasons on the alter of socalled progress.
If you agree with our views detailed in the FREIBURGER APPEAL then we would ask you to support this call with your signature
.
Date:
Doctor's stamp
I support the FREIBURGER APPEAL expressly with my
Signature........................................................................................................
please send me information of the next planned meeting (prospective 28/29.3.2003)
My address:

We have sent the FREIBURGER APPEAL to our representatives, to all Members of the Bundestag, to all health insurance companies, to the protestant and catholic church. We have directed it at trade unions, at environment organizations, Campaign groups and at the press, broadcast, television and
technical periodicals.
We have already been overwhelmed by the response to this appeal, which we released both in Germany and abroad. However the number of signatories achieved so far, who support our view, is not sufficient to make it clear to the decision makers how serious we are about the demands set out in the FREIBURGER APPEAL!
We therefore call on everyone who supports us to spread our message.
We want as many signatures as possible. Both from doctors and physicians as well as from all supporters ( campaign groups and organisations concerned and involved with the subject of Mobile Telephony, vets, nurses, therapists, teachers, archtiects etc) . We want signatures from across Europe so please spread the word.
Therefore we are encouraging the duplication of the Freiburger Appeal. We ask that you fill in clearly the signature page, sign it and either email it to : HYPERLINK "mailto:igumed@gmx.de" igumed@gmx.de or fax to Germany 07761 913491 or send by post to IGUMED Bergseestr.57, 79713 bad Saeckingen

Microwaves and Oxidative Damage - and NIDS
From "Would You Stick Your Head In A Microwave Oven" by Gerald Goldberg
Oxidative Damage
Increased oxidative damage or for that matter burn damage can result in a shorter life span. Consistently in the scientific literature has been noted that animals and humans subjected to microwave radiation show decreased levels of SOD, catalase, glutathione, CoQ10 along with evidence of increased byproducts of oxidative stress to cell membranes, MDA. Depletion of anti-oxidants has been shown to be an independent risk factor in the development of cancer and other illnesses associated with aging.
SOD, catalase, glutathione and CoQ10 are substances that the body
produces to protect itself. These substances are considered anti-oxidants. The body is continuously producing energy. Energy production produces heat and causes free electrons to be generated. The challenge that the cell had to overcome was how to cook within itself. Overcooking would cause the cell to literally cook itself. The difficulty issue for the cell is that is you burn down your own house, then you simply cannot continue to cook (produce energy).
In a simple manner anti-oxidants act much like insulation that one would have around the kitchen. It is desirable to have an oven or a furnace. However, it is not desirable to burn down the house. This is the equivalent role of anti-oxidants. If there is excessive damage to a cell, than this will be reflected in lower anti-oxidant levels. The anti-oxidants are getting used up faster than they can be produced or replaced. The level of anti-oxidants thus become a measure that the body or cell is overheating.
The body is continuously involved in a balancing act. The balance is the ability to generate energy and the ability to cope with burn damage. Anti-oxidants protect the structural parts of a cell from damage; these include cell membranes, structural proteins, and the genetic material of the cell. If the anti-oxidents are deficient than the cell will literally age or degrade at a very rapid rate. Sustaining adequate levels of anti-oxidants is a critical part of the diet. The level of anti-oxidants in the body play a critical role in determining the amount of work an individual can do. The levels of anti-oxidants in the body have been shown to be the most sensitive indicators in stress, aging, infections, and various other disease states. They are considered the most sensitive markers of aging used by investigatory science. Refer to the references at the end of the chapter for more complete references on this matter and the role of anti-oxidant substances in conferring protection to the cell.
Catalase is critical in reducing hydrogen peroxide to plain water. The prevents the buildup of too much H2O2 which can damage cell membranes. Notably this is critical in the perixosome, nucleus and the mitochondria. Decreased catalase levels have been found to be an independent marker of cell aging. Decreased levels of catalase in the mitochondria (cell furnace) have been found to be one of the most accurate predictive markers of accelerated aging and premature death in multiple animal models.
Microwave radiation has been shown to produce marked disruptions in energy production in cells. This has been noted as well as decreased ATP and creatinine phosphate production. ATP is considered to be the most important molecule that allows for the transfer of energy in the body. It is kind of like a miniature biological battery within the cell. If you do not have enough batteries than the cell stops working. Simple enough. The studies which are mentioned at the end of this section repeatedly found that microwave radiation decreased the ATP content of the brains of the animals that [they] studied. A brain that looses the ability to generate energy (ATP) ceases to work efficiently at all. The end result is that one can become neurologically or behaviorally impaired. This is what one finds in a child who is autistic, has ADD or other behavioral problems where the issue is impaired concentration. The same findings are also seen in individuals with psychiatric diseases, extremes of anxiety or depression as well as in dementia or Alzheimer's disease. These findings have been consistently found in all tissues examined. The scientific literature reflects that the damage can be attenuated or slowed down by the use of certain anti-oxidants (refer to the last section) and herbal products. Ultimately the body must rely on its diet to replace nutrients; it really has no other choice. Central to this point is that maintaining an adequate level of anti-oxidants in the diet, refer to the last section, will confer some degree of protection to the individual from continous exposure to microwave radiation as well as other factors.

FREIBURGER APPEAL: 6000 German Doctors Have Signed
9. Oktober 2002
FREIBURGER APPEAL
http://www.starweave.com/freiburger/
Out of great concern for the health of our fellow human beings do we - as established physicians of all fields, especially that of environmental medicine - turn to the medical establishment and those in public health and political domains, as well as to the public.
We have observed, in recent years, a dramatic rise in severe and chronic diseases among our patients, especially:
• Learning, concentration, and behavioural disorders (e.g. attention deficit disorder, ADD)
• Extreme fluctuations in blood pressure, ever harder to influence with medications
• Heart rhythm disorders
• Heart attacks and strokes among an increasingly younger population
• Brain-degenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's) and epilepsy
• Cancerous afflictions: leukemia, brain tumors
Moreover, we have observed an ever-increasing occurrence of various disorders, often
misdiagnosed in patients as psychosomatic:
• Headaches, migraines
• Chronic exhaustion
• Inner agitation
• Sleeplessness, daytime sleepiness
• Tinnitus
• Susceptibility to infection
• Nervous and connective tissue pains, for which the usual causes do not explain even the most conspicuous symptoms
Since the living environment and lifestyles of our patients are familiar to us, we can see especially after carefully-directed inquiry a clear temporal and spatial correlation between the appearance of disease and exposure to pulsed high -frequency microwave radiation (HFMR), such as:
• Installation of a mobile telephone sending station in the near vicinity
• Intensive mobile telephone use
• Installation of a digital cordless (DECT) telephone at home or in the neighbourhood
We can no longer believe this to be purely coincidence, for:
• Too often do we observe a marked concentration of particular illnesses in correspondingly HFMR-polluted areas or apartments;
• Too often does a long-term disease or affliction improve or disappear in a relatively short time after reduction or elimination of HFMR pollution in the patient's environment;
• Too often are our observations confirmed by on-site measurements of HFMR of unusual intensity.
On the basis of our daily experiences, we hold the current mobile communications technology (introduced in 1992 and since then globally extensive) and cordless digital telephones (DECT standard) to be among the fundamental triggers for this fatal development. One can no longer evade these pulsed microwaves. They heighten the risk of already-present chemical/physical influences, stress the body's immune system, and can bring the body's still-functioning regulatory mechanisms to a halt. Pregnant women, children, adolescents, elderly and sick people are especially at risk.
Our therapeutic efforts to restore health are becoming increasingly less effective: the unimpeded and continuous penetration of radiation into living and working areas particularly bedrooms, an essential place for relaxation, regeneration and healing causes uninterrupted stress and prevents the patient's thorough recovery.
In the face of this disquieting development, we feel obliged to inform the public of our observations especially since hearing that the German courts regard any danger from mobile telephone radiation as 'purely hypothetical' (see the decisions of the constitutional court in Karlsruhe and the administrative court in Mannheim, Spring 2002).
What we experience in the daily reality of our medical practice is anything but hypothetical!
We see the rising number of chronically sick patients also as the result of an irresponsible ' safety limits' policy, which fails to take the protection of the public from the short- and long-term effects of mobile telephone radiation as its criterion for action.
Instead, it submits to the dictates of a technology already long recognized as dangerous. For us, this is the beginning of a very serious development through which the health of many people is being threatened.
We will no longer be made to wait upon further unreal research results - which in our experience are often influenced by the communications industry while evidential studies go on being ignored. We find it to be of urgent necessity that we act now!
Above all, we are, as doctors, the advocates for our patients. In the interest of all those concerned, whose basic right to life and freedom from bodily harm is currently being put at stake, we appeal to those in the spheres of politics and public health.
Please support the following demands with your influence:
• New health-friendly communications techniques, given independent risk assessments before their introduction and, as immediate measures and transitional steps:
• Stricter safety limits and major reduction of sender output and HFMR pollution on a justifiable scale, especially in areas of sleep and convalescence
• A say on the part of local citizens and communities regarding the placing of antennae (which in a democracy should be taken for granted)
• Education of the public, especially of mobile telephone users, regarding the health risks of electromagnetic fields
• Ban on mobile telephone use by small children, and restrictions on use by adolescents
• Ban on mobile telephone use and digital cordless (DECT) telephones in preschools, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, events halls, public buildings and vehicles (as with the ban on smoking)
• Mobile telephone and HFMR-free zones (as with auto-free areas)
• Revision of DECT standards for cordless telephones with the goal of reducing radiation intensity and limiting actual use time, as well as avoiding the biologically critical HFMR pulsation
• Industry-independent research, finally with the inclusion of amply available critical research results and our medical observations.

They heighten the risk of already-present chemical/physical influences, stress the body's immune system, and can bring the body's still-functioning regulatory mechanisms to a halt. Pregnant women, children, adolescents, elderly and sick people are especially at risk.
Our therapeutic efforts to restore health are becoming increasingly less effective: the unimpeded and continuous penetration of radiation into living and working areas particularly bedrooms, an essential place for relaxation, regeneration and healing causes uninterrupted stress and prevents the patient's thorough recovery.
In the face of this disquieting development, we feel obliged to inform the public of our observations especially since hearing that the German courts regard any danger from mobile telephone radiation as 'purely hypothetical' (see the decisions of the constitutional court in Karlsruhe and the administrative court in Mannheim, Spring 2002).
What we experience in the daily reality of our medical practice is anything but hypothetical!
We see the rising number of chronically sick patients also as the result of an irresponsible ' safety limits' policy, which fails to take the protection of the public from the short- and long-term effects of mobile telephone radiation as its criterion for action.
Instead, it submits to the dictates of a technology already long recognized as dangerous. For us, this is the beginning of a very serious development through which the health of many people is being threatened.
We will no longer be made to wait upon further unreal research results - which in our experience are often influenced by the communications industry while evidential studies go on being ignored. We find it to be of urgent necessity that we act now!
Above all, we are, as doctors, the advocates for our patients. In the interest of all those concerned, whose basic right to life and freedom from bodily harm is currently being put at stake, we appeal to those in the spheres of politics and public health.
Please support the following demands with your influence:
• New health-friendly communications techniques, given independent risk assessments before their introduction and, as immediate measures and transitional steps:
• Stricter safety limits and major reduction of sender output and HFMR pollution on a justifiable scale, especially in areas of sleep and convalescence
• A say on the part of local citizens and communities regarding the placing of antennae (which in a democracy should be taken for granted)
• Education of the public, especially of mobile telephone users, regarding the health risks of electromagnetic fields
• Ban on mobile telephone use by small children, and restrictions on use by adolescents
• Ban on mobile telephone use and digital cordless (DECT) telephones in preschools, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, events halls, public buildings and vehicles (as with the ban on smoking)
• Mobile telephone and HFMR-free zones (as with auto-free areas)
• Revision of DECT standards for cordless telephones with the goal of reducing radiation intensity and limiting actual use time, as well as avoiding the biologically critical HFMR pulsation
• Industry-independent research, finally with the inclusion of amply available critical research results and our medical observations.

It's the Microwaves: How I Recovered from CFS
Please read the following:
It's the Microwaves 02/09/06 01:51 AM
Hi, I cured myself of CFS and now just have what I would call a mild form of electrosensitivity (ES). I had all the symptoms of CFS and the viral infections and the mycoplasma infection(s). All my symptoms are gone. However, some of them come back intermittently when I am overexposed to high levels of ambient electromagnetic radiation in my environment, which is difficult to avoid in this day and age unfortunately. All I can say is that I sincerely believe that it is the microwave/radiofrequency (and other forms of) electromagnetic radiation that is the main causal factor making many people ill in this day in age and until people realize this, wake up, and come together, more and more people are just going to get sick — and this will just be accepted as "normal."
I wrote the following letter because I found out what was making me sick and I found out what to do to get better and I wanted everyone else that has had to go through this hell to REALIZE what very well might be a hidden cause behind their health issues. When something is out of sight, it is also out of mind — and microwaves from cell phone towers are invisible so it is difficult to fathom them as being the culprit. But from my own personal experience and research, I know they are, and am able to actually sense them when I get exposed to them at a certain level. I am now able to tolerate exposures that I was not initially able to tolerate when I got sick. When someone used to make a cell phone call near me, I would become very ill. Now, I am hardly bothered by it — while in the back of my mind, I know it is not good. Anyway, read the letter I initially wrote in 2006 and feel free to contact me.
Peace,
Art KAB
Dear friend,
Dr. Robert O. Becker wrote 21 years ago in his book "The Body Electric" the following regarding EMR:
"The dangers of electropollution are real and well documented. It changes, often pathologically, every biological system. What we don`t know is exactly how serious there changes are, for how many people. The longer we as a society, put off a search for that knowledge, the greater the damage is likely to be and the harder it will be to correct."
p. 304
Most likely you have been brainwashed by the media into believing that these devices are the next best thing to sliced bread, and admittedly they are extremely convenient and useful devices, but the truth of the matter is that the electromagnetic radiation given off by your cell phone or smart phone — and the towers that connect them may very well be insidiously be weakening your body and its immune system and eventually causing you some kind of illness now or somewhere down the road.
If you care about your friends, your family, yourself, and the world in which we live, please read the following and pass it on to your friends — and hopefully to everyone you know.
Since the advent of the cell phone, I have noticed an unprecedented number of people around me becoming sick. Just when cell phones were starting to be sold on the market, I remember a student of mine's daughter dying of influenza. This was the first time I ever knew someone whose daughter died of influenza, though I understand that it does happen. Since that time, a friend of mine's wife committed suicide, another friend's son developed leukemia, the grandson of a colleague was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a former teacher of mine developed breast cancer, a friend of a friend developed a brain tumor, another acquaintance lost his vision (cause unknown), a 50-year-old colleague had a stroke and his children both have school phobia, with his daughter trying to commit suicide. I have known a number of women having miscarriages — and in the latest case the fetus was deformed. This woman was an avid user of her cell phone.
In April of 2005, I personally had a hard time recovering from some kind of viral flu; by May I started to exhibit the symptoms of what is called "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)." (CFS was originally known as "Yuppie Flu," because it started to originally affect "Yuppies" working in Silicon Valley in the mid 80s just as cell phone networks and microwave relay stations were being set up across the country. The “Yuppies were also among the first to own cell phones and computers.)
The symptoms included (1) excessive thirst, (2) night sweats, (3) brain fog, (4) swollen lymph glands, (5) fatigue (6) insomnia, (7) a weakened immune system, (8) nausea, (9) heart pain, (10) back pain, (11) unexplained anxiety, (12) neurological symptoms, (13) vision problems (14) testicular pain, (15) loss of appetite, (16) rapid weight loss, (17) frequent urination, (18) dry eyes and mouth, (19) impaired memory, (20) inability to concentrate, (21) the inability of my body regulate its temperature (i.e. chills) and so on.
I didn't know what was happening to me. I went to several hospitals and had blood tests but they always came up normal. I even had two HIV tests — just to double check — (they both came up negative). I finally concluded that I had all the symptoms of what is inappropriately labeled "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" (CFS) or "Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome" (CFIDS) but also called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and Neuro Immune Deficiency Syndrome (NIDS). I went to Kyushu University Hospital, where they confirmed my diagnosis and added the additional diagnosis of “autonomic nervous system disorder” (jiritushinkeijicchoushou) (自律神経失調症).
I read "The Ampligen Diaries" and was frighteningly surprised at how similar to my own situation was to this woman’s — since I also taught at a university and remember feeling the same way not being able to concentrate in front of the computer:
http://www.cfids-me.org/marys/mystory.html
After being ill every day for around six months, I began to suspect the microwave radiation emitted by the cell phone towers and wifi devices as perhaps being the culprit. I did some research and found that the symptoms of CFS were almost identical as what had been termed as "Radio Frequency Illness" from experiments done by Russia during the cold war with electromagnetic radiation but in modern parlance now called “Microwave Illness.” Further research has shown that these symptoms also frighteningly resemble “radiation sickness.”
http://www.megadisc.com.au/index_files/rfsickness1.htm
http://www.stetzerelectric.com/filters/research/radio_wave_sickness_symptoms.pdf
I finally decided to rent a cabin up in the mountains in Saga Prefecture — out of cell phone range (one of the very few places) — and immediately started to feel better with the disappearance of many symptoms and with most of the rest of my symptoms gradually disappearing over a two-month period. Unfortunately, whenever I used to get back into cell phone range, these symptoms would start to come back. I would feel my head starting to swell, I would feel nauseous, I would feel pain in the lymph nodes under my right arm and in my right testicle. Fortunately, through multiple chelation treatment modalities (Homeopathy, Chinese Medicine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, DMSA, and IV EDTA) of chelating the metals out of my body, plus having all the gold removed from my mouth, I was gradually able to increasingly "tolerate" the EMFs better and now feel fine unless I am in extremely "high" EMF environments.
I ended up staying in the mountains of Saga for four months but could no longer afford the high rent — since this condition (CFS) had pretty much broken me financially — with all the doctor visits, experimenting with all kinds of treatments, and buying anything and everything that was supposed to help this illness (i.e. herbs, vitamins, and various supplements and antioxidants). At the time I was unable to work and was put on half salary — and finally had to leave my position when my contract expired.
I bought a High Frequency Meter http://www.lessemf.com/rf.html for measuring microwaves — and found the city of Fukuoka to have extremely high levels of RF EMF — and realized that there were four microwave/cell phone towers within a kilometer of my home. I went to measure my office at the university and immediately felt nauseous, and found there to have extremely high levels of microwave radiation.
From the research I have read on the subject, I believe that the microwave radiation emitted by cell phones and cell phone towers (or masts or base stations) is the main causal factor behind CFS and I there is increasing evidence coming from respected scientists that it is also behind autism, ADD or ADHD, and Alzheimer's disease — and in Japan, responsible for falling academic abilities, school refusal, increases in leukemia, increases in depression, increases in suicides, an inability to conceive and bear children, and increased violence and crime.
Micoplasma infections are common in people with CFS, autism, ADHD, and Alzheimer’s — which I attribute to a suppression of the immune system and a drastic decrease in Natural Killer (NK) cells. They are also common in people who have been exposed to radiation (e.g. nuclear power plant workers). Could there be a similar process here between exposure to the ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation (microwaves)? I believe so, but in the later case, it is a more long-term, slow, and insidious process. Is it a coincidence that most of the symptoms in CFS are also found in Microwave Sickness and Radiation Sickness:

This is what happens to the blood after someone makes a 1.5 minute phone call. The first picture is normal blood, the second picture is blood taken after a 90 second phone call, the third picture is the blood taken after 20 minutes and the fourth is the blood taken after 40 minutes:
http://www.buergerwelle.de/pdf/cluster.jpg
In the following video clip, Dr. Robert Young states the following:
http://www.qlinkworld.co.uk/media/london.html
“When we are exposed to lower frequencies ranging between 10 hertz and 100 hertz, those particular frequencies have a tendency to disturb cells significantly that they start disorganizing, breaking apart, and giving birth to perceived viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and molds.”
And this is exactly what happens to people with CFS - their immune system is weakened and they start getting viral, bacteria, yeast, and mold infections.
Dr. Coghill took blood samples exposing one sample to the radiation emitted by a cell phone in standby mode while the other sample was not exposed to any electromagnetic radiation.
“Mr Coghill took white blood cells, known as lymphocytes, from a donor, keeping them alive with nutritients and exposed them to different electric fields.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/194065.stm
He found that after seven-and-a-half hours, just 13% of the cells exposed to mobile phone radiation remained intact and able to function, compared with 70% of cells exposed only to the natural electromagnetic field produced by the human body.”
Since microwaves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation weaken the immune system, is it not possible that Avian Flu is just birds succumbing to a virus that their immune system would be able to handle under normal circumstances in an environment with low or no microwave radiation?
However, that is far from the case with the advance of microwave technology in the form of cellular phone networks and digital broadcasting.
We are now all being exposed to extremely high levels of electromagnetic radiation mainly from the cell phone base stations which are popping up like mushrooms all over the world. According to the late Dr. Cherry of Lincoln University in New Zealand, these levels of electromagnetic radiation are about 10,000 times what we would naturally experience in nature.
The microwaves pass through just about everything and damage our DNA. We are constantly —24 hours a day, seven days a week — being bombarded from the cell phone towers. Young men and women who hope to have healthy normal children in the future especially should — at least — not be carrying these radiation boxes. There is already evidence showing that the microwaves are causing deformities in plants and animals:
http://www.japanfocus.org/article.asp?id=172
http://members.aol.com/gotemf/emf/animals.htm
Dr. Gerald Goldberg has written a book called "Would you stick your head in a microwave oven?" He states
"Microwave radiation poses an extreme public health risk that may become fully realized in the next 5 to 7 years. At the point that the epidemic becomes fully realized up to 60 to 75% of the general population may become affected and incapacitated. We are potentially faced with a health crisis that will cripple most industrialized nations. If these estimates are correct than we are on the verge of a crisis that our current health infrastructure will be incapable of dealing with. The purpose of this book is to increase public awareness, facilitate corroborative interpretation of epidemiological data and to formulate preventive strategies before this epidemic comes to fruition."

Moreover, doctors in Germany, sensing something is gravely wrong, have put forth the Freiburger Appeal, because they have seen an unprecedented increase in all kinds of diseases with the advent of the cell phone (ADHD, autism, CFS, leukemia, behavior problems, suicides, etc.)

If the public really knew and understood what has been kept secret from them, that these devices are much more dangerous than they imagine, would they still be on the market? Unfortunately, with the profits being made and the conveniences that they endow, the answer is unfortunately, "Yes."
The cell phone industry — with their eyes on making hundreds of billion dollars in profits — has ignored the research showing clearly that these devices are extremely dangerous. They have naturally only been spinning the science.
It is difficult to fight an industry that is making hundrends of billions of dollars in profits and has control of the governments, media, and to a certain degree the research institutes and can spew out its commercial propaganda. But I can do my part by sending you this grass-roots email and ask you to take action and spread the word.
The Internet is a powerful tool for freedom, democracy, and human rights and a powerful tool against commercial interests which threaten these. We should have a natural-born right to not be exposed to health-damaging microwave radiation. We have a right to be told the truth about the dangers of cell phones, their towers, and the radiation they emit. We have a right to not be sold things that are harming our health.
IT'S UP TO YOU! You can choose to be part of the solution or you can be part of the problem. But I can assure you that if you do the research — and you can see through the spin — you will find that the evidence points to these being very dangerous devices and that they are making a lot of people sick and that they should never have been put onto the market. Believe me, no one more than I and people in my predicament wishes that they were not.
One is reminded of Martin Nemoller's warning with regards to Nazi Germany:
"First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I said nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats, but I was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then came the Trade Unionists, but I was not a Trade Unionist. And then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did little. Then when they came for me, there was no one left to stand up for me."
Don't wait until you are SICK to take action! THE CELL PHONE COMPANIES WILL NOT PAY YOUR MEDICAL BILLS. DON'T PAY THEM TO PUT UP MORE TOWERS AND MAKE MORE PEOPLE SICK - including you and your family.
If you really do care about your friends, your family, yourself and the world you live in, you should do the following:
(1) Do the research. See through the spin.
(2) Forward this blog post to everyone you know.
(3) Become informed and inform others.
(4) Contact your politicians and tell them what you think.
(5) Take action by joining support groups.

The Research
From Electromagnetic Fields, pp. 356-357
"In humans, EMFs in various frequencies have been found to adversely affect calcium binding on the cell surface, DNA synthesis, and cell division; to alter circadian rhythms, affect or alter some important enzyme activities, and affect specific glands like the pineal and the hypothalamus area of the brain, as well as the production of certain neurotransmitters, like serotonin and dopamine; to increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier; to create artificial stress responses; to overstimulate the immune system initially, then suppress it and decrease T-lymphocyte production; and to promote malignant tumor growth with particular concentrations in the central
nervous system, in the blood and the skeletal systems, and in glandular tissue. The eyes, the brain and the testes seem to be especially prone to abnormal effects from the RF frequencies....
The Soviet Union did some interesting RF/MW research on behavioral abberations that is unparralleled in the United States. It has been known for many years that low-intensity EMFs produce adverse effects on the autonomous and central nervous systems of humans and animals in strengths far to low to cause tissue heating....
Radio-wave sickness is the term the Soviet researchers used to describe a clinical syndrome in those occupationally exposed to EMFs, particularly RFs/MWs. It included functional disturbances of the central nervous system such as headaches,, increased susceptibility to fatigue, increased irritability, dizziness, sleepiness, sweating, concentration difficulties, memory loss, depression, emotional instability, mild limb tremors, cardiac arrythmias, increases in blood pressure, and appetite loss. Thyroid enlargement, benign adrenal gland tumors, and rashes were often observed. Less common but also reported were hallucinations, insomnia, fainting, and internal organ or intestinal difficulties. Also, auditory channels were stimulated when the head was exposed to low-power, pulse-modulated EMFs."
pp. 128-129
"...Test animals appear not to know they are stressed, yet blood tests show high levels of cortisone, a substance released in the body under conditions of long-term disease,as opposed to adrenaline, which is released in a fight-or-flight response. Monkeys exposed too a 200 gauss magnetic field for four hours a day showed a generalized stress response for six days which then declined, suggesting that animals had adapted to the exposure. Reseachers who stop the experiment at that point can reasonably conclude that there has been no long-term damage. However, in subsequent experiments, it has been found that when the exposure continues, hormone and immune levels will fall far below normal and remain there. The immune system becomes exhausted and unable to rebound, opening the body to infectious diseases and an inability to fight malignancies."
From Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Is prolonged exposure to environmental level powerline frequency electromagnetic fields a co-factor to consider in treatment?
http://www.emfacts.com/papers/cfs.html
"INTRODUCTION
With any illness characterised by chronic fatigue, such as CFS, Chronic Fatigue (CF) and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS), Chronic Epstein-Barr Virus (CEBV), Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), the important outcome is a severely dysfunctional immune system.
Evidence that these conditions involves an immunological disorder is accumulating rapidly. Within the past few years various abnormalities have been found in the immune system of CFS patients, for example. These include alterations in the activity and cell surface structure of two important types of white blood cells: natural killer cells and T-lymphocytes. In some patients subtle changes have been found in the levels of neuroendocrine hormones in the brain. Evidence indicates that CFS is associated with, if not directly caused by, a persistent, low-level impairment of the immune system.
Irrespective of the 'trigger' of the condition, whether it be viral, an environmental factor, a genetic predisposition, stress, or a combination of these factors, any additional contributing factors which may also detrimentally affect the immune system should be identified, investigated and eliminated (or reduced) as part of the treatment.
In this regard a co-factor may be considered anything that may cause hormone disruption and biological changes at a cellular level, thus interfering with immune system function. This co-factor may not have initiated the condition, but exposure to it may further stress an already affected immune system. As long as such a situation exists, any treatment is unlikely to have any lasting effect.
Existing evidence indicates that exposure to environmental level 50 - 60 Hz EMFs may be an immune system stressor with the potential to cause hormone disruption and changes at a cellular level. Therefore, EMF exposure should be evaluated as a potential risk factor for people suffering from disorders with the common feature of unexplained chronic fatigue."
The Statistics
With the advent of the second generation cell phone going digital in 1990:
"The incidence of ME / ICD-CFS is known to be rising: in
April 1994, the insurance company UNUM (one of the largest
disability insurers) reported that in the five years from
1989 - 1993, mens' disability claims for CFS increased
360%, whilst womens' claims for CFS increased 557%. No
other disease category surpassed these rates of increase.
In order of insurance costs, ME/ICD-CFS came second in the
list of the five most expensive chronic conditions, being
three places above AIDS. At the Fifth American Association
of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome International Research and
Clinical Conference held in January 2001 in Seattle, the
Associate Director of the University of Washington's CFS
Research Centre (Dr N Afari) confirmed that the incidence
is indeed rising."
"In the 1990s, reported autism cases among American
children began spiking, from about 1 in 10,000 in 1987 to a shocking 1 in 166 today. "
It is possible that there might be a connection?
"Influenza deaths have increased substantially in the last 2 decades..."
http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/289/2/179
"According to a recent study, the average number of
influenza-associated deaths was approximately 19,000 per
year from 1976 to 1990, but 36,000 per year from 1990 to
1999."
http://www.antibiotic-consult.com/secure/articles/EMR121304.pdf
That's a dramatic increase - almost double - and (perhaps
mistakenly) attributed to the aging population and more
virulant strains but...
"Motorola introduced the 16-ounce "DynaTAC" phone into
commercial service in 1983, with each phone costing the
consumer $3,500. It took seven additional years before
there were a million subscribers in the United States."
That's 1990. Maybe it's just a coincidence.
"In the 1990s, second generation (2G) mobile phone systems
such as GSM, IS-136 ("TDMA"), iDEN and IS-95 ("CDMA") began
to be introduced. The first digital cellular phone call was
made in the United States in 1990, in 1991 the first GSM
network opened in Europe. 2G phone systems were
characterised by digital circuit switched transmission and
the introduction of advanced and fast phone to network
signalling. In general the frequencies used by 2G systems
in Europe were higher though with some overlap, for example
the 900 MHz frequency range was used for both 1G and 2G
systems in Europe and so such 1G systems were rapidly
closed down to make space for 2G systems. In America the
IS-54 standard was deployed in the same band as AMPS and
displaced some of the existing analog channels.
Coinciding with the introduction of 2G systems were trends
which meant that the larger "bricks" disappeared and tiny
100?200g hand-held devices became the norm. These trends
included technology improvements such as better battery
technologies and lower power electronics, but also are
largely related to the higher density of cellular sites
caused by increasing usage levels."
