Since 1990 brain tumors and tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) have more than doubled, according to a report by the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation Stralskyddsstiftelsen published January 20, 2017 [1].
The number of patients is on a steady increase since 2004-2005. Is that coincidental with the increase of smart technology, which uses microwaves to implement instant access and networks? In 1990 the rate was 827 patients, whereas in 2015 it more than doubles to 1807 patients or 2.185 times!
The rise in malignant and non-cancerous tumors is happening in younger patients, those who are more likely to be using smart technology gadgets, e.g., iPhones and Wi-Fi at school or work.

European coordination of organizations for an EMF exposure regulation which truly protects public health
27 January 2017
Open letter of “No Confidence” to the World Health Organization (WHO)
The “European coordination of organizations for an EMF exposure regulation which truly protects public health”expresses its full support for the BioInitiative Working Group Letter to the WHO International EMF Project of 19 December 2016, entitled “WHO RF EHC Core Group Membership is Unacceptable”. In this “No Confidence” Letter, the WHO is urged “to make changes to the WHO RF EHC Core Group membership to more fairly reflect membership and expertise of the 2011 IARC RF Working Group” (see Annex 1).
“Newly released animal studies conducted over a 16-year period by the NIEHS National Toxicology Program now report clear carcinogenic effects of chronic exposure to RF. In June of 2016, the NTP documented statistically significant risks for cancers of the brain and heart, as well as pre-cancerous lesions in animals exposed to RF, but not in control animals. Both human and animal results are now available to incorporate in the RF EHC risk assessment. This important effort can only be assured with a more balanced composition of core participants in the process. As well, the membership needs to be inclusive of under-represented countries such as Russia, China, India, Turkey, and Iran whose research communities have produced the majority of studies on non-thermal effects of RF in recent years”.
The preponderant presence of members of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) reminds us that this organization has steadfastly refused to accept new scientific evidence of potential health risks from non-thermal, low-intensity radiofrequency radiation despite recent scientific advances in knowledge on the subject.
The ICNIRP not only does not guarantee transparency or independence but is known that there are conflicts of interest within it, undermining the impartiality that should govern the regulation of limits on non-ionizing radiation people. Although it is essential that industry be involved and cooperate in this process, industry should not be allowed to bias its processes or conclusions (see Annex 2, report prepared by AVAATE in June 2015 on these conflicts of interest of the ICNIRP).
In 2015, more than 220 scientists from 41 nations that have published peer-reviewed papers on the biological or health effects of non-ionizing radiation, requested the WHO and the UN to protect human and wildlife exposure to such fields. “Numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plant and animal life. These findings justify our appeal to the United Nations (UN) and, all member States in the world, to encourage the World Health Organization (WHO) to exert strong leadership in fostering the development of more protective EMF guidelines, encouraging precautionary measures, and educating the public about health risks, particularly risk to children and fetal development. By not taking action, the WHO is failing to fulfill its role as the preeminent international public health agency” (see Annex 3, International EMF Scientist appeal, and Annex 4, list of organizations that support it).
We emphasize the need to ensure a high level of transparency, impartiality and plurality of expert assessments on health risks of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF), at all levels of decision, on basis of the WHO rules (point 4.2 of the Regulations for Expert Advisory Panels and Committees, points 2.6 and 4.6 of the Regulations for Study and Scientific Groups, Collaborating Institutions and Other Mechanisms of Collaboration, and articles 44-47 and 67 of the Rules of Procedure of the World Health Assembly), and in line with points 8.5.7 and 8.5.8 of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, Resolution 1815 (2011) on the potential dangers of electromagnetic fields and their effect on the environment, as well as with the Aarhus Convention (1998) on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decisionmaking and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters. The implementation of these principles would guarantee not only a pluralistic WHO RF EHC Core Group membership, but also the presentation of alternative scientific interpretations, the “views” of citizens and the presence of relevant groups involved with this issue.
The European Coordination of organizations for an EMF exposure regulation, which truly protects public health, is driving the European Manifesto in Support the ECI in favour of the precautionary regulation of the EMF exposure. Amongst the signatories to this European Manifesto there are scientists, researchers and experts, as well as professional bodies and associations and representatives of civil society organizations (from health advocates, consumers, neighbours, environmentalists, ecologists, labour union, parents of students, people with central sensitization syndromes -electro-hypersensitivity, multiple chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, etc.-, brain tumour patients, concerned citizens and activists associations working in the field of electromagnetic pollution), coming from 26 countries (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Macedonia, Netherlands, Panama, Poland, Portugal, UK, Russia, South Africa, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and USA).

Article by Lynne Wycherley
“As Kraków, Poland’s second city, takes steps to protect its citizens from rising electromagnetic ‘smog’ from mobile phones, wifi, Bluetooth, smart meters and other devices, Lynne Wycherley summarises 2016’s news highlights on the emerging bio-risks of rising exposure to non-ionisiong radiation.
For how much longer can governments continue to ignore the growing evidence of harm?
The first mayor of Kraków to be elected by popular ballot, law professor Jacek Majchrowski is tackling an environmental issue most governors avoid: the electromagnetic pollution in his city.
Following work on air pollution, and in response to growing demand, he is initiating forums for citizens to discuss the growing ‘smog’ of electro-magnetic fields (EMFs).
In a world first he is also initiating the provision of meters to detect radio-frequency (RF) / extremely low frequency (ELF) EMFs so people can collect objective data on their exposure.
In December, Majchrowski hosted an international conference on EMF pollution and citizens’ ‘right to information’ – an echo of the new Right to Know law in Berkeley, California (cell-phone sellers must supply safety information).
Speakers included Sławomir Mazurek, a pro-reform Polish minister for the Environment. Majchrowski and his team are now re-zoning mobile-phone masts (cell towers) to reduce EMF exposure levels.
With similar boldness, Argentina’s Lower National Congress proposed a new health law last year to regulate electromagnetic pollution.
Supported by trade unions and NGOs, its radical draft measures included hard-wired networks in schools (also hospitals) – recalling the recent Green-led French law on“electromagnetic sobriety” (2015) and recommendations of the American Pediatrics Society and British Doctors’ Initiative.”

19th December 2016
The BioInitiative Working Group has advised the World Health Organization’s Dr. Emilie van Deventer that the membership composition of the RF Environmental Health Criteria Core Group is unacceptable. WHO is urged to make changes to the WHO RF EHC Core Group membership to more fairly reflect membership and expertise of the 2011 IARC RF Working Group. At present the WHO RF EHC Core Group is indistinguishable from ICNIRP (1, 2) undermining credibility of the process and ensuring doubt about conclusions. Even if schedule delays occur as a result…

Recently the following appeal has been posted at http://olgasheean.com/who-emf/:
“Make your voice count
Sign this VOTE of NO CONFIDENCE in WHO’s EMF Project
We, the undersigned, being aware of and/or harmed by the adverse biological effects of EMFs, hereby declare our VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE for WHO and its EMF Project, headed by industry-biased Emilie van Deventer—an electrical engineer (with no medical or health credentials), who has publicized her support for the wireless telecommunications industry and has a major conflict of interest, given her industry-funded research aimed at promoting and advancing wireless communication technology.
We demand that:
1. Emilie van Deventer be immediately replaced by a qualified independent professional who has the appropriate medical credentials and a medically informed understanding of and respect for the millions of individuals experiencing microwave sickness/electromagnetic sensitivity, and who will act on the body of science that confirms the adverse biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
2. WHO and its EMF Project take immediate action to acknowledge, and make science-based decisions regarding, the proven harm caused by EMFs, without any bias or regard for commercial or industry interests, and with full disclosure to the public. With a mandate of preserving the health of the global population and, via its EMF Project, of ‘investigating the detrimental health effects from exposure of people to non-ionizing radiation’, WHO must ensure its complete freedom from industry bias and corruption.”
IARC as part of WHO evaluated radiofrequency (RF) radiation in May 2011 and concluded it to be a possible human carcinogen, Group 2B. However, in a fact sheet issued by WHO in June 2011 shortly after the IARC decision it was stated that ‘To date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use’.
WHO has still not acknowledged health risks form RF radiation: ‘No major public health risks have emerged from several decades of EMF research, but uncertainties remain’.
WHO plans to publish in 2017 an Environmental Health Criteria Monograph on RF radiation. It has been open for comments and parts of our letter to WHO is shown below:

Comments on the WHO draft: Radio Frequency fields: Environmental Health Criteria Monograph
The following comments relate to section 12.1 Cancer Epidemiology. Due to the short time for submission of comments it is not possible to make a full review. That would require an in-depth review checking the original publications in detail.
Unfortunately the WHO draft does not state the names of the authors and any conflicts of interest. However, it must be clear that if any current or previous member of ICNIRP is part of this draft it would be a serious conflict of interest. ICNIRP has produced guidelines for radiofrequency electromagnetic (RF-EMF) exposure and accepts only thermal effects. Thus the large bulk of evidence on non-thermal effects is ignored, see the update of ICNIRP guidelines:
ICNIRP statement on the “Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)”. Health Physics. 2009; 97:257-8.
“However, it is the opinion of ICNIRP that the scientific literature published since the 1998 guidelines has provided no evidence of any adverse effects below the basic restrictions and does not necessitate an immediate revision of its guidance on limiting exposure to high frequency electromagnetic fields…..With regard to non-thermal interactions, it is in principle impossible to disprove their possible existence but the plausibility of the various non-thermal mechanisms that have been proposed is very low. In addition, the recent in vitro and animal genotoxicity and carcinogenicity studies are rather consistent overall and indicate that such effects are unlikely at low levels of exposure. Therefore, ICNIRP reconfirms the 1998 basic restrictions in the frequency range 100 kHz–300 GHz until further notice.”
ICNIRP has not published any later statement. Thus, ICNIRP has not changed their guidelines in spite of increasing evidence of adverse health effects from RF-EMF exposure. Being a present or a former member of ICNIRP creates intellectual bias, not the least to adopt their evaluation in any further review outside ICNIRP. In fact, it would be remarkable if an ICNIRP member comes to a conclusion other than the ICNIRP paradigm of “no health effects.”
Another remarkable drawback of the draft is that the following important chapters are missing:Chapter 1: Summary and recommendations for further study. Chapter 13: Health risk assessment, Chapter 14: Protective measures. It is unclear why these chapters are excluded. Is it so that WHO aims to produce their conclusions without comments from the international scientific community?
……………………………
Concluding remarks:
In conclusion the WHO draft is biased towards the null results. Findings on an association between use of wireless phones (mobile phones and cordless phones) and increased risk for brain tumours are misinterpreted, selectively reported and/or omitted in total. The draft cannot be used as science-based evaluation of increased risk. It needs to be re-written in a balanced way by scientists trained in epidemiology and oncology, not the least in medicine, and without conflicts of interest.

ICNIRP: International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
Thus, of the six members five are presently or have been members of ICNIRP. It is no wonder that at least the epidemiology part does not substantially differ from the ICNIRP ‘no risk’ paradigm. It should be noted that the Ethical Board at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden concluded already in 2008 that being a member of ICNIRP may be a conflict of interest that should be stated in scientific publications (Karolinska Institute Diary Number 3753-2008-609).
It is thus pertinent that those concerned about the WHO EMF project, that includes persons with obvious conflicts of interest, should consider the petition:
The initial budget of the WIFI4EU scheme is EUR 120 million between 2017-2019. It will support the installation of state-of-the-art equipment like Wi-Fi antennas in the centres of community life.”

____________________________________________________________________
This given opportunity is taken regarding the European Commission’s COM (2016) 589 final 2016/0287 (COD) Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Regulations (EU) No 1316/2013 and (EU) No. 283/2014 relating to the promotion of Internet connectivity in local communities across Europe.
The Commission’s expected results and impact of the implementation of this proposal is that local public authorities will offer free Wi-Fi connectivity in centres of community life including public buildings, health centres, parks or town squares and all public spaces. Libraries, schools, universities, transport hubs, train stations, airports, research centres, doctors surgeries, hospitals and stadiums will be equipped with Gigabit connections by 2025. The benefits are seen as enabling public authorities and local businesses to offer a range of local digital services, applications and products with a prediction of 40-50 million connections per day.
In order for the Trans-European Gigabit Society to proceed, ‘legal obstacles’ will be removed and the process will be supported ‘through simplified planning procedures and lightened regulatory obligations’.
Additionally, a new legislative concept has been generated in light of this universal service ‘whereby every EU citizen shall have the right to be connected; the right to a functional Internet connection in order to fully engage with the digital economy and society’.
As with national planning applications for telecommunications infrastructure, references to health have ceased, having been labelled as a potential barrier.
Yet, it is estimated that there are now between ‘22.3 million to 37.1’ million individuals (3% – 5% of the population) across Europe seriously affected by the toxic levels of Electromagnetic/Radiofrequency Fields (EMF) in our environment. EMF is radiated mainly from masts/towers, antennas, mobile phones, cordless phones, wireless utility meters, all things wireless (Wi-Fi) including wireless baby monitors and all ‘smart’ devices. These figures are forecast to rise to 10% of the population over time.
The consequential affect of these toxic levels is the environmental/functional impairment referred to as Electrohypersensitivity (EHS). It is thought that this impairment is due to the difficulties the natural internal EMF of our bodies experiences on interacting with extreme external levels of EMF. These levels are now considered to be one million billion times greater than the natural background EMF that life has adapted to over millions of years.
Electrohypersensitivity manifests itself through multiple and diverse symptoms.
These can be debilitating and disabling and are usually experienced through severe headaches, burning sensations, nausea, dizziness, memory/concentration lapses, pain, insomnia, anxiety, eye problems, mood changes and the extremely stressful ‘microwave hearing’ i.e. the auditory perception of radio-frequency fields.
The link between EMF and many modern health issues such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, early dementia, Alzheimers, autism, DNA damage, infertility etc has already been established and recorded in reports such as the BioInitiative Report (2014) and in research undertaken by independent scientists. Children are particularly vulnerable as they absorb more radiation than adults and will be exposed to more radiation over their lifetime.
http://www.bioinitiative.org/conclusions/
|
Conclusions from the BioInitiative Report 2012 Several conclusions were reached from the BioInitiative Report 2012, including health effects caused by exposures to cell towers, wi-fi, EMF, RFR and more. |
One of the main problems identified by those advocating precaution/change is that EMF safety guidelines refer only to thethermal and short-term effects of EMF. Many concerned scientists have been striving to highlight the fact that it is non-thermal EMF emissions that are having the most damaging/life threatening effects on all living things, not just humans.
At the basis of the thermal paradigm is a claim that there is no viable biological mechanism for the action of weak non-thermal fields on human tissue. In 2015 Dr. Martin Pall (Professor Emeritus, Washington State University) established that such a mechanism exists. Dr Pall’s findings have been peer reviewed by experts in the field and have been conclusively tested many times.

|
How does wireless radiation produce harmful health effects? Dr. Martin Pall describes how low intensity (i.e., non-thermal) microwave radiation exposure can cause harmful health effects. |
Sections of the European Union, and their Government representatives i.e. those whom the citizens of Europe have trusted with responsibility for protecting life, are aware of this issue but remain silent. The proposal for the precautionary principal as recommended by the European Parliamentary Assembly (Resolution 1815) (2011) has long been ignored.

When expectations re margins of profit have been attained and when this potential health crisis increases exponentially questions will be asked of those we trusted.
They cannot:
Furthermore, there is a rule of law stating that contrived ignorance or wilful blindness is equivalent to knowledge.(Michener, L. (2010), Contrived ignorance: Wilful Blindness.
The EU Proposal introduces a new contemporary human right, as mentioned earlier. The question is, if ‘every EU citizen shall have the right to be connected: the right to a functional internet connection’ how can this right coexist with the rights of all citizens to liberty, security and protection against discrimination and torture, as expressed in the European Convention on Human Rights? What of the rights of EU citizens who are Electrosensitive, especially those who cannot stay in their homes or indeed who cannot leave their homes due to the torturous pain/’microwave hearing’ they experience in the toxic environment that is being created? These citizens/EU stakeholders have a right to access all public places with equality and with dignity; they have a right to a healthy and electro-sanitized environment. This proposal in effect excludes electrosensitives from society, a society that will become deeply embedded in the use of EMF in order to function.
The establishment of a Trans-European Telecom network that depends on pulsed microwave energy, which has not as yet been properly tested for safety, could be classified as a cross-European biological experiment. Lessons were learnt at the War Crimes Tribunal in Nuremberg out of which a Treaty was drawn up, agreed to and signed by every nation in the world. This informs us that, a person being experimented upon must first:
Give their consent – free from force, fraud, deceit, duress or coercion;
Have sufficient knowledge of what is happening and
Know the possible effects upon one’s health
And they must have the legal capacity to say No.
The citizens of the EU have a right to know about the potential health effects linked to EMF exposure and a right to be asked if they have any objections to taking part in this biological experiment.
There is no doubt that these technological gadgets have bestowed great convenience in communication, especially for those in transit, but these gadgets are not necessary for life. They are a distraction from lived reality and worryingly offer the possibility of mass surveillance.
Given the capability of toxic levels of EMF to create a serious cross-European health crisis, we now ask the EU Commission to postpone this proposal until such time as all scientific research studies are taken into account and until further good and independent scientific research is undertaken that will enable new EMF regulations to be created that will truly protect the citizens of Europe and all living things.

Re: European Manifesto – Urgent Appeal
The link at the bottom of this email will give you access to the European Manifesto as drawn up by the European Citizens Initiative (ECI). The ECI is a group of 23 organisations from 14 European countries seeking new regulations that will reduce Electromagnetic/Radiofrequency Radiation (EMR) to a level that truly protects public health as well as that of all living things.
Electromagnetic/Radiofrequency Radiation (EMR) is emitted mainly from mobile phones, masts/towers/antennae, cordless phones, wireless utility meters/smart meters, all things wireless (Wi-Fi) including wireless baby monitors and all ‘smart’ devices.
The current EMR safety guidelines refer only to the thermal and short-term effects, but many concerned scientists have been striving to highlight the fact that non-thermal EMR emissions are producing very significant effects on our health. The BioInitiative Report 2012, which includes a total of 3,800 research studies, provides evidence of these damaging and life threatening bioeffects.

Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) is a new environmental/functional impairment that has emerged from living in an environment laden with extreme levels of EMR. EHS manifests itself through multiple and diverse symptoms. The link between EMR and many modern health issues such as obesity, diabetes, chronic fatigue, cancer, early dementia, autism, DNA damage, infertility etc has already been established by independent scientists. Children are particularly vulnerable as they absorb more radiation than adults and will be exposed to more radiation over their lifetime.
It is estimated that 22 million people are suffering from EHS symptoms across Europe, including hundreds, possibly thousands in Ireland. Symptoms can be debilitating and disabling and are usually experienced through severe headaches, burning sensations, nausea, dizziness, memory/concentration lapses, joint and muscle pain, chronic fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, eye problems, mood changes and the extremely stressful ‘microwave hearing’ i.e. the auditory perception of radio–frequency fields. Many sufferers, along with their medical advisors are unaware that these symptoms are related to EMR.
Some EHS sufferers are forced to give up employment, some cannot stay in their homes or alternatively cannot leave their homes. Daily and social activities such as shopping, visiting family/public services and using public transport become arduous tasks or even impossible. The seemingly unstoppable installation of innumerable Telecom/Wi-Fi systems has resulted in some sufferers having to shield themselves and their homes with radiation blocking materials.
The Precautionary Principle, as recommended by the European Parliamentary Assembly (Resolution 1815) (2011) has been ignored.

The debate must now heat up and become public before it is too late. We now ask you if you would please support the Appeal of the European Citizens Initiative by signing our European Manifesto.
This request is now urgent in light of the findings of the World Health Organisation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Monograph 102 Part 2 which classified EMR as a Group 2B (possible) carcinogen: http://monographs.iarc.fr/ENG/Monographs/vol102/mono102.pdf
Also, the National Toxicology Program (USA) (2016) has clearly demonstrated links between exposure to EMR and a higher risk of glioma brain cancer and Schwannoma cancer of the heart. http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/06/23/055699
Finally, the European Commission proposal (2016) 589/Fi-en will see every possible space in our environment blanketed in EMR. Everyone will be exposed and everyone is potentially at risk:

The Interphone study included 13 countries during the study period 2000 – 2004. The major results were published after a delay of 6 years in 2010. In a new publication 12 years after the study period, the intracranial distribution of glioma in relation to radiofrequency (RF) radiation from mobile phones was analyzed. Tumour localization for 792 regular mobile phone users was analyzed in relation to distance from preferred ear for mobile phone use.
In Table 2 five categories for the distance were used with > 115.01 mm as the reference category (α = 1.0). An association with distance from preferred side of mobile phone use to center of tumour was found; the closer the distance the higher the risk. The highest risk was found in the group with the closest distance (0-55 mm) yielding α = 2.37, 95 % Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.56-4.56.
The same association was seen if distance was based on point with highest Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) instead of preferred ear and if using a model assuming that the preferred side of phone use was not exclusively used (“mixing proportion”). The latter model generated higher risk estimates than the other two but with wider confidence intervals.
In Table 3 tumour size, duration of phone use, cumulative phone use, cumulative number of calls were analyzed. Although not statistically significant, higher risks with decreasing distance were found in the upper levels of these dichotomized covariates.
