A Film by Sean A. Carney 2023

 

A wife and entrepreneur devoted to her family and business tragically loses everything as her health mysteriously declines. Why is she now left alone and unable to function in society? She finds out the answer through a series of events and a final, uncomfortable diagnosis. How was she crippled by a taboo disability that has surprisingly been reported for over 100 years? The weight of the stigma attached to the disability is shocking, as is the increasing reporting of the condition in the population. In this frank and revealing animated film we come to understand the human rights issues, the deep anxieties, the sense of vulnerability and search for remedy in the face of such steep adversity. We come face to face with a woman who is like everybody else, because she had thought it was “crazy” to be ill in this way and could never have happened to her. We are all taking our chances with our health, just like she did and this urgent story needs to be told, because there is little help or acceptance for those struggling to live with this inconvenient disability. Sadly, we have invited the problem and must stake steps to tame the destructive influence on our health.

A true story, animated over a recorded EHS testimony. The animated character expressing the testimony was designed by Sean A. Carney. Multilingual subtitles can be activated. The film was officially selected and nominated a “Monthly Pick” at the Rome Prisma Film Awards 2023.

CASE REPORT: THE MICROWAVE SYNDROME AFTER INSTALLATION OF 5G EMPHASIZES THE NEED FOR PROTECTION FROM RADIOFREQUENCY RADIATION

Posted on January 24, 2023 by ES-Ireland

New study by Dr Lennart Hardell and Mona Nilsson from the Radiation Protection Foundation.

Published 10th January 2023

Conclusions:

‘5G is being rolled out without any studies showing that 5G is safe for humans and wildlife. To our knowledge, this is the first study of health outcomes in persons exposed to 5G RF radiation. Within a couple of days, a new 5G base station caused severe symptoms in two previously healthy persons that correspond to the microwave syndrome. The deployment of 5G also caused a dramatic increase in maximum (peak) microwave radiation exposure, from 9 000 µW/m2 to >2 500 000µW/m2 . The symptoms quickly reversed when the couple moved to a dwelling with much lower exposure. This case is in line with scientific findings reported already 50 years ago on effects of exposure to microwave radiation and that most symptoms disappear when the exposure is discontinued. This study and previous studies show that the microwave syndrome appears at levels well below the current limits recommended by the ICNIRP.”

7th 5G Appeal – The EU’s Illegal Precedence of Economy over Health

Posted on January 23, 2023 by ES-Ireland

The 7th Appeal to the EU, signed by more than 400 scientists and doctors, asking that the exposure limits guidelines set by ICNIRP be reduced dramatically to protect the health of all living things and a moratorium on 5G be established.

EXCERPT:

To the EU Legislative bodies                                                             12 January 2023

The EU’s illegal precedence of economy over health

On behalf of over 400 scientists and MDs, we are sending the 5G appeal to the EU for the 7th time since 2017. We expect that EU decision makers will take the 5G Appeal and thousands of relevant  scientific articles as indicative of what is now known about the harmful and energy wasting effects of wireless electromagnetic fields (EMF) and all forms of Non-Ionising Radiation (NIR). We expect the EU to take appropriate measures to protect EU citizens from these effects. We request a meeting with,as well as a direct, written response from the EU commissioners of Health, Environment and Competition and members of the Council of the Ministers

1. The Charter of Fundamental Rights , primary law as well as case law from the European Court of Justice make it mandatory for EU decision-makers to protect the EU population, especially children, from all kinds of harmful health effects of wireless technology. Article 168 of the consolidated version of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) reads as follows: A high level of human health protection shall be ensured in the definition and implementation of all Union policies and activities. EU Case law clearly states that: The protection of health takes precedence over economic considerations. We therefore expect protection of health to be the primary principle adopted by all decision-makers in the EU, including European commissioners, members of the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers.


2. Since 2017 we have not seen any proof of this . In the six replies we have received to earlier 5G Appeals there has not been any clear intention to prioritise health over economics. Instead, the EU continues to advocate the economic benefits of wireless (5G) communications more than health and to consider the inadequate ICNIRP guidelines as protective of human and environmental health, including for children and the most vulnerable. The history of EU responses to consecutive 5G Appeals  demonstrating an ongoing lack of attention to health concerns has been published in a recent review.


3. The EU continues to refer to the ICNIRP guidelines because ICNIRP has been endorsed by Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC as the EU’s main external advisory group concerning NIR protection. Even in the face of thousands of studies stating the contrary, ICNIRP and Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC continue to deny that there is scientific proof of non-thermal, biological effects far below current policy radiation guidelines. Given the state of play of independent science today, there are increasing questions concerning the continued legality of Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC and the EU EMF-health protection policy in general.

ICNIRP Guidelines are a grossly inadequate basis for EU policy in general.

4. There is now clear evidence that ICNIRP guidelines are not an adequate scientific basis for EU’s policy regarding wireless electromagnetic fields (EMF) policy. ICNIRP guidelines have been shown to be flawed by, amongst others, Cherry , Favre , Hansson Mild & Hardell , ORSAA , Redmayne , Nordhagen & Flydal and recently the ICBE-EMF . On top of this, 256 Scientists in the EMF Scientists Appeal attest that ICNIRP guidelines do not protect health. Over 400 scientists and medical doctors have endorsed the 5G Appeal. All have asked the EU to apply the Precautionary Principle in such a way that EU policy takes not only heating (thermal) but also non-thermal effects into account. This is increasingly supported by a number of successful lawsuits in USA , Germany , Italy and elsewhere in the European Union, demonstrating that signals from mobile communications are seen to be the cause of several kinds of harmful effects such as acoustic neuroma (brain cancer) in people exposed to cell phones. The environment, including plants, trees, bees,  insects, birds, mammals, rats and cows are also harmed by NIR far below the ICNIRP guidelines. Therefore, NIR poses a serious threat to not just humans, but also to the environment and to everything that lives. …

Abstract

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic and systemic condition that causes widespread chronic pain, asthenia, and muscle stiffness, as well as in some cases depression, anxiety, and disorders of the autonomic system. The exact causes that lead to the development of FM are still unknown today. In a percentage of individuals, the symptoms of FM are often triggered and/or exacerbated by proximity to electrical and electromagnetic devices. Plasma metabolomic profile of 54 patients with fibromyalgia and self-reported electromagnetic sensitivity (IEI-EMF) were compared to 23 healthy subjects using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) coupled with multivariate statistical analysis techniques. Before the GC–MS analysis the plasma samples were extracted with a modified Folch method and then derivatized with methoxamine hydrochloride in pyridine solution and N-trimethylsilyltrifuoroacetamide. The combined analysis allowed to identify a metabolomic profile able of distinguishing IEI-EMF patients and healthy subjects. IEI-EMF patients were therefore characterized by the alteration of 19 metabolites involved in different metabolic pathways such as energy metabolism, muscle, and pathways related to oxidative stress defense and chronic pain. The results obtained in this study complete the metabolomic “picture” previously investigated on the same cohort of IEI-EMF patients with 1H-NMR spectroscopy, placing a further piece for better understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms in patients with IEI-EMF.

Introduction

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a condition characterized by a constellation of symptoms, including chronic pain, depression, anxiety, autonomic disturbance, fatigue, and memory and sleep dysfunction1. These numerous symptoms of functional and emotional origin seriously compromise the life quality of patients making the treatment harder and difficult2. At present, FM patients are diagnosed using the 2016 revised FM criteria3 based on the Fibromyalgia Research guideline4. According to these revised diagnostic criteria, fibromyalgia may be diagnosed in adults based on: (1) presence of generalized pain, defined as pain in at least 4 of 5 regions, (2) presence of symptoms of similar intensity level for at least 3 months, (3) widespread pain index (WPI) ≥ 7 and symptom severity scale (SSS) score ≥ 5 or WPI of 4–6 and SSS score ≥ 9; in addition, (4) a diagnosis of fibromyalgia does not exclude the presence of other clinical important illness3. However, the key causalfactors/mechanisms involved in FM development have not been identified yet5 and the lack of objective parameters to diagnose the pathology renders the discovery of more effective and safer diagnostic biomarkers urgently needed. Sometimes, FM is associated to electrosensitivity (EHS)6. EHS is described as a multi-organ adverse reaction to electromagnetic field (EMF), characterized by a wide range of unspecific symptoms. They can vary with intensity and duration and are experienced as a result of exposure in the workplace or home to EMF emitted by various sources, whether low or high frequency. Since the 60s, in countries of East Europe, there were reports of a new workplace disease defined as “microwave sickness”7: these cases involved thousands of workers in the manufacture, inspection, repair, and maintenance of microwave equipment such as radars and radio/TV stations. These reports have been extended to mobile phones in the last forty years. Researchers generally outline three characteristic syndromes: 1) neurological and/or asthenic: heaviness of head, fatigue, irritability, sleepiness, memory loss, and electroencephalography changes; 2) autonomic vascular changes: sweating, dermographism, blood pressure changes; 3) cardiac: heart pains and electrocardiography changes. Notably, workers exposed for periods above five years exhibited greater symptomatology. In addition, ceasing work was found to bring about a stabilization or improvement of symptoms7. The prevalence of EHS may continue to rise in the future, coinciding with the increasing exposure to local and global wireless networks. This could lead to an increased interest in the scientific community for the discovery of specific biomarkers. To better understand the pathogenesis of FM and EHS and to identify disease-specific biomarkers, we recently have compared the metabolomic profile between patients with FM and Idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic field (IEI-EMF)8 and healthy subject (controls) by using 1H-NMR spectroscopy and multivariate statistical analysis. Self-reported IEI-EMF patients are subjects characterized by the amplification of fibromyalgia symptomatology in association with the proximity of EMF source exposure9.

Data obtained have shown a different plasma metabolomics profile between IEI-EMF and control subjects with the first being characterized by higher levels of metabolites mainly involved in oxidative stress defense, pain development and muscle metabolism. To better define and characterize the physiopathological mechanisms associated to the IEI-EMF, in the present study we have compared the plasma metabolomics profile of same IEI-EMF patients and control subjects studied by Piras et al.8 by using the mass spectrometry gas chromatography (GC–MS) analysis. GC–MS is a highly sensitivity technique that allows detection of many metabolites in complex biological samples. GC–MS and 1H-NMR provide complementary information about different metabolites, so that the integration of both techniques can be a major advantage to obtain a more holistic view of the metabolome10.

Results

Psychosocial descriptors

Patients had to fill in a questionnaire and the psychological tests according to the European EMF 2016 Guideline11.

In addition to the tests previously administered to IEI-EMF patients8, the PAI test allowed to evaluate further clinical and psychological characteristics such as: anxiety, depression, related anxiety disorders (like obsessive–compulsive disorders (OCD), phobias, etc.) and emotional instability. No differences between groups for clinical variables (e.g., depression, anxiety, anxiety correlates and emotional instability) were observed (p ≤ 0.05) and all subjects were located under the clinical cut-off (Supplementary Table S1 a) and b)).

Metabolomics: multivariate statistical analysis

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was then carried out to visualize the global distribution of samples and to highlight possible outliers. None of the samples had to be removed as outliers. Additionally, the quality control (QC), featuring a mix of all samples, was positioned in the middle of the PCA scatter plot indicating a reliable performance and reproducible of the GC–MS analysis (Figure S1).

A supervised OPLS-DA analysis was subsequently conducted on the same dataset. OPLS-DA scores plot showed a clear separation based on the metabolomics profile between IEI-EMF subjects and controls (Fig. 1a). The optimum OPLS-DA model was established with two predictive components and one orthogonal component, with R2X(cum) of 0.456, R2Y(cum) of 0.825 and Q2 of 0.614. The validity of the OPLS-DA model was evaluated through a permutation test (Fig. 1b) using 500 cross validations.
