Excerpt:

“I have worked in Health and Social Care for 35 years, supporting some of the most disabled and vulnerable members of our society and advocating to ensure their rights have been upheld. To have been on the receiving end of societal prejudice, discrimination, ignorance and misunderstanding, has been devastating”, says the 59 year old social worker, Sally Burns.

Mrs Burns is sensitive to non–ionising radiation (NIR) such as Wi–Fi and mobile phone emissions. She experiences dizziness, headaches, palpitations, sleep disturbance, vibrating sensations and sensitivity to noise and light. She feels pain in body areas which are most proximal to the radiation sources, such as heat and pain at the ear from mobile phone use and abdominal pain from computer use. Her reaction is severe enough to have caused her to have to avoid using mobile phones and computers and even to try to avoid public exposures such as phone masts and pubic Wi–Fi / phone emissions. You can imagine how disabling that is within a society that has become so dependent upon use of these technologies in all areas of public life. She is disabled by electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS).

Sally’s professional life has been prematurely ended by growing dependence upon radiofrequency radiation (RFR) in the workplace: “My work has been important to me, I hoped to be able to work well past retirement age, not to go early”.

In relation to EHS, the Independent Registered Medical Practitioner (IRMP) report concludes: “Mrs. Burns has a medical condition that renders her permanently incapable of undertaking any gainful work. There currently are no treatments available for her condition; avoidance of emissions is the only way to significantly reduce her symptoms.” Whilst such emissions were historically presumed to be biologically inert, and are still purported to  be safe by many to this day, there is now highly credible evidence to the contrary…

… Dr. Erica Mallery–Blythe – Founding Director of Physicians Health Initiative for Radiation and Environment (PHIRE) and author of the 2020 NIR Consensus Statement states: “We will continue to witness escalating, preventable morbidity and mortality from rising NIR exposures, until we take serious steps to reduce emissions and educate the public. This is entirely feasible, but is currently being held back by ignorance and political conflict. Biological safety guidelines are urgently required to reduce risk of both EHS and also many disease endpoints of rising public health importance”.

PHONEGATE

What the cell phone industry doesn’t want you to know

• The sanitary scandal finally revealed to the world

• Success of the book in France

• Anyone who uses a cell phone will be interested

• Preface by Devra Davis, PhD, MPH

Summary

There are more than 5 billion cell phone users in the world and we keep these phones permanently in contact with our body, in our hands, in our pockets or even next to our ears. And this since a very young age!  Some of us even sleep with it. The manufacturers have been lying to you for years: YOUR CELL PHONE IS DANGEROUS. Few still know that the manufacturers of our dear smartphones have knowingly overexposed us to the radiation of our phones, by establishing standards and international regulations tailored to their interests, or even against their internal competition, by rigging the software, as in Dieselgate. This scandal has a name: PHONEGATE.

In 2016, Dr. Marc Arazi obtained proof that enabled him to denounce this fraud. With the help of brave men and women the world over – doctors, lawyers, politicians, scientists, friends and devoted volunteers from all walks of life — he has been fighting to bring the truth to light ever since. In 2018, the NGO Phonegate Alert was founded to support them in that task. The issue gained some prominence in the U.S. after Chicago Tribune reports by Pulitzer-prize winning journalist, Sam Roe. Dr. Arazi has addressed the European and Italian Parliaments, the U.S. National Toxicology Program, Environmental Health Trust, and other forums regarding this issue.

After reading the book, you will be eager to change your habits and especially those of your children. A few simple gestures can protect your health and that of your loved ones. You will also understand why a moratorium is necessary by public authorities in the face of the forced deployment of 5G. We can no longer trust the cell phone industry with our eyes closed!

THE ALERT IS LAUNCHED : Become an actor of change

The deputy chair of An Bord Pleanála voted to override his own planning inspectors in the vast majority of applications for telecommunications masts over the past two years.

Paul Hyde, who has stepped aside from his role at the planning body pending the outcome of two investigations into his voting record, voted to overturn refusal recommendations by planning inspectors in 31 of 36 mast applications since September 2020.

Mr Hyde provided the final planning authorisation for 30 of them.

In contrast, other members of the nine-strong board voted to overturn the recommendation of planning inspectors on three out of nine occasions over the same timeframe.

While it is not unusual for An Bord Pleanála to overrule its own inspectors, sources familiar with the process have indicated that such overrulings occur in roughly 10% of cases, which would make Mr Hyde’s rate of overturning his own inspectors roughly eight times the average.

Investigation

At least 100 applications to build telecommunications masts or antennae were lodged in the 20-month period under investigation, with 88 approved, 34 of them against the recommendation of An Bord Pleanála’s own inspectors.

Of those 100 applications, Mr Hyde voted on 75, second only to fellow board member Michelle Fagan, who voted on at least 78 of them, and some distance ahead of any other members of the board.

Mr Hyde made 71 of those decisions in collaboration with Ms Fagan. Just one of those 71 decisions involved a third board member.

Many of the masts in question have been built close to residential areas and amenities, contrary to ministerial guidelines

In one application by Eir — for a 15m high communications pole in Kells, Co Kilkenny — the planning inspector stated that the applicant “has not provided a sufficient examination of alternative sites”, adding that the build would be “contrary… to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area”.

Overruling the inspector, Mr Hyde said: “The proposed development would not seriously injure the visual or residential amenities of the area.”

Source Article: Action Against 5G

Secretary of State to be challenged on failure to give adequate information to the public about the risks of 5G and to explain the absence of a process for investigation of any adverse health effects

We are delighted to announce that the Court of Appeal has today granted permission for our case to proceed on two grounds concerning:

1. The failure to provide adequate or effective information to the public about the risks and how, if it be possible, it might be possible for individuals to avoid or minimise the risks;

2. (a) The failure to provide adequate and sufficient reasons for not establishing a process to investigate and establish the adverse health effects and risks of adverse health effects from 5G technology and/or for discounting the risks presented by the evidence available; and/or (b) failure to meet the requirements of transparency and openness required of a public body.

These grounds advance a breach of the Human Rights Act 1998 by omissions and failings in violation of the positive obligations to protect human life, health and dignity, required to be met by Articles 2, 3 and/or 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The case will now be sent back to the Administrative Court and we await the directions as to the full hearing in due course.

To our wonderful supporters: this is YOUR victory. Without your unerring faith in our case, this would not have been possible.

STOA study in German translation

EU review on carcinogenic and reproductive health risks

In June 2021, the Science and Technology Options Assessment Committee (STOA) of the European Parliament published the study “Health effects of 5G. Current knowledge on the carcinogenic and reproductive development risks associated with 5G, as derived from epidemiological studies and experimental in vivo studies result”. The STOA Committee is a committee of the European Parliament dealing with science and technology assessment.

The results of the STOA report can be summarized as follows:

• In the synopsis of the results from epidemiology, in-vivo and in-vitro studies, there is evidence from animal experiments for a carcinogenic potential, especially for the previously used mobile radio frequency ranges of GSM, UMTS and LTE (FR1: 700 to 3,800 MHz), as well negative effects on fertility.

• There are no adequate studies available for 5G in the higher frequency range (FR2: 24.25 to 52.6 GHz). That is why the study describes 5G as an experiment on the population.

• In the assessment, the non-thermal effects must be taken into account, which has not been done so far. The ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) is directly criticised for this. The reference values ​​of their guidelines only protect against thermal effects.

• The authors of the study call for a 5G expansion freeze (for 5G in the higher frequency range, FR2: 24.25 to 52.6 GHz), further research on the high 5G frequencies FR2, education of the population and a focus on the expansion of fiber optic networks.

This is significant in two ways: According to the STOA report, the probability that the radiation of the frequencies used so far (FR1: 450 to 6000 MHz) causes cancer, damages fertility and particularly vulnerable organisms is confirmed by the latest research results. Anyone who claims that 5G (FR2: 24 to 100 GHz) is harmless is passing off ignorance as knowledge.

The report therefore proposes the following consequences:

• “7.1 Deciding on a new technology for mobile phones that enables a reduction in RF exposure…
• 2 Revision of public and environmental exposure limits to reduce RF exposure from cell towers…
• 3 Adoption of measures that provide incentives to reduce RF-EMF exposure…
• 4 Encourage multidisciplinary scientific research to assess the long-term health effects of 5G and find an appropriate method for monitoring exposure to 5G…
• 5 Promotion of information campaigns about 5G.”(p. 152 ff)

For almost a quarter of a century, researchers have been studying and publishing on the effect of calcium on Alzheimer’s Disease. Research has led to the development of the calcium hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease, which argues that Alzheimer’s is caused by excessive intracellular calcium.

Calcium causes changes to the brain

Calcium build-up in cells results in diverse range of changes in the brain. There are two significant changes that develop conditions for Alzheimer’s disease.

1. Specific increases in the amyloid precursor protein, BACE1 and amyloid beta protein aggregates
2. Less specific neurodegenerative changes including hyperphosphorylated tau protein and neurofibrillary tangles, cell death produced by apoptosis or by destructive autophagy, synaptic dysfunction produced by changes in neuronal structures required for synapsis between brain neurons, oxidative stress and inflammation

EMFs and calcium build up

Pulsed electronically generated electromagnetic fields (EMFs) used for wireless communication are coherent producing strong electric and magnetic forces that act in the cells of our bodies primarily via activation of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). VGCC activation produces rapid increases in intracellular calcium levels. Therefore, EMF exposures produce changes with lead to excessive intracellular calcium. This buildup explains the effects on the brain in Alzheimer’s disease.

These EMF induced changes to intracellular calcium levels have been demonstrated in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease. Research has shown the involvement of two pathways that lead to Alzheimer’s disease. Each of the two pathways producing pathophysiological effects following EMF exposure are important in Alzheimer’s causation: the excessive calcium signaling pathway and the peroxynitrite/oxidative stress/inflammation pathway.

Professor Martin L. Pall, at the Washington State University has been studying this phenomenon for a decade. “EMFs act via peak electric and time varying magnetic forces at a nanosecond time scale.”, says Professor Pall. Such peaks are vastly increased with each increase in pulse modulation produced by smarter cell phones, smart meters, smart cities and radar in self driving vehicles. “Any of these may produce the ultimate nightmare – extremely early onset Alzheimer’s Disease.”

These findings provide powerful evidence that EMFs can cause Alzheimer’s disease. Human and animal studies add still more evidence to the calcium hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease.

A look at some more evidence

Professor Pall summarizes the evidence in a recent review in Current Alzheimer Research.

Human genetic and pharmacological studies show that elevated VGCC activity causes increased Alzheimer’s incidence. Consequently, it is not just calcium that is important. VGCC activity, which is directly greatly increased by EMF exposure, is also important in causing Alzheimer’s.

12 recent occupational exposure assessments have found that people having occupational EMF exposures have higher Alzheimer’s incidence. Some studies suggest that EMFs shorten the normal 25-year latency period of Alzheimer’s disease.

Earlier occupational exposure studies (in the 1970s and 1980s) showed that neurological / neuropsychiatric reported effects, associated with EMF exposures, developed cumulatively, such that longer times of exposure to the same EMFs, produced more severe effects. This parallels cumulative effects in neurodegeneration.

The age of onset of Alzheimer’s has decreased over the past 20 years or so, with the timing corresponding to the large recent increases in wireless communication EMF exposures. Recent studies report age 30 to 40 Alzheimer’s cases.

Very young people who are exposed to cell phone or Wi-Fi radiation for many hours per day may develop digital dementia.

El-Swefy et al, in 2008, showed that 2 hours per day very low intensity mobile phone base station (cell phone tower) radiation produced massive neurodegeneration of the brains of young rats. 34% of the brain cells died in 4 weeks. 11 measured brain changes and 4 observed behavioral changes were each greatly lowered by the VGCC calcium channel blocker amlodipine. These findings show is that EMFs most of us are exposed to every day, acted via VGCC activation to produce universal massive, extraordinarily rapid neurodegeneration in young rats. The researchers did not examine any Alzheimer’s specific brain changes.

However, Jiang et al. (2013 & 2016) looked at EMF pulses in rats found Alzheimer’s specific changes but also some less specific changes in the hippocampus, a brain region which is heavily impacted in Alzheimer’s. Jiang 2013 exposed rats to a series of EMF pulses in one day to 2-month old rats, finding apparent universal Alzheimer’s effects in 20 month old rats (roughly the equivalent of 42-year-old humans coming down with near universal Alzheimer’s). The 2016 paper exposed the rats to EMF pulses once a day, causing Alzheimer’s at 10 months of age (similar to 21-year-old people with extremely early onset Alzheimer’s). Both El-Swefy and Jiang found massive neurodegeneration in young rats simply from exposing them to EMF pulses.

What needs to be done?

Three types of studies are urgently needed to be performed by independent scientists:

1. Brain marker surveys of Alzheimer’s disease and MRI brain scans for abnormalities among young people who show signs of digital dementia.

2. EMF exposures assessments for pre-diagnosis environments for people aged 30 to 40 who have been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease. These assessments should compare phone and cell phone tower radiation, Wi-Fi radiation, smart meter and dirty electricity radiation levels with normal controls.

3. Examinations for early signs of Alzheimer’s disease among people living near small cell antennae for a year or more.

Findings from each of these studies should be shared with the general public, so that everyone can take the steps necessary to reduce the incidence of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.”
