Urgent Need for Biologically-based EMF Public Exposure Standards

Are you Electrosensitive?



It's believed that the first case was reported by the inventor, physicist & mechanical engineer Nikola Tesla. Described by many as a 'genius', and recognized as one of the greatest technological scientists of all time, Tesla suffered late on in his life from a very severe illness believed to be due to exposure to high levels of electromagnetic fields throughout his life


The Pulitzer Prize-winning autobiography of Tesla, written by his close friend John O'neill described his extreme sensitivities:

"To doctor's he appeared at death's door. The strange manifestations he exhibited attracted the attention of a renowned physician, who declared that medical science could do nothing to aid him. One of the symptoms of the illness was an acute sensitivity of all the sense-organs. His senses had always been extremely keen, but this sensitivity was now so tremendously exaggerated that the effects were a form of torture. The ticking of a watch three rooms away sounded like the beat of hammers on an anvil. The vibration of ordinary city traffic, when transmitted through a chair or bench, pounded through his body. It was necessary to place the legs of his bed on rubber pads to eliminate the vibrations. Ordinary speech sounded like thunderous pandemonium. The slightest touch had the mental effect of a tremendous blow. A beam of sunlight shining on him produced the effect of an internal explosion. In the dark he could sense an object at a distance of a dozen feet by a peculiar creepy sensation in his forehead. His whole body was constantly wracked by twitches and tremors. His pulse, he said, would vary from a few feeble throbs per minute to more than a hundred and fifty. Throughout this mysterious illness he was fighting with a powerful desire to recover his normal condition. ".

The Art of Propaganda


How to manipulate people into believing what you say is true/false for political and commercial purposes, known as commercial warfare

This is a time-tested trick that seems to work every time. Take for example the plight of electrohypersensitive (EHS) individuals who are experiencing symptoms from pulsed microwave devices (mobile phones, WIFI, DECT – cordless phones).

Motorola "we think we have sufficiently war-gamed the science"
http://stopsmartmeters.org.uk/rt-exposes-leaked-motorola-email-we-have-sufficiently-war-gamed-the-mobile-phone-dangers-issue/
Here's how they are doing this.....

At regular intervals, those with vested interests trot out a speech, an article or a video to try to persuade the masses to continue with their microwave toys. After all, they tell you, those with EHS are just plain nuts. Oh....what a comforting thought...you can then say.....it's them. I can go right on ahead and continue with my microwave toy...it's safe...and if I start to get any strange symptoms well that too will be my imagination...so I don't need to worry at all.

 
But it's not just what these articles, videos etc. are putting across but the sleight of hand they use to fool you into believing what they tell you.

 
A point in case is the latest video “This video will hurt”. Spoken in a robotic voice which somehow stays in your head.  It assumes that it's viewers will be gullible and believe it, even though it does not cite any source material at all.  It relies on the power of the rumour without giving its audience any information or reference to Scientific material.



You'll be forgiven for watching it thinking oh yeah....they had some EHS in a room, played a film to them about the warning of WIFI and they all became ill. It's all in their mind. What you might have missed is that.....

no Electrohypersensitives took part in this experiment they speak of

the symptoms experienced by the candidates did not correlate with those experienced by EHS persons

there was no report as to whether the candidates continued to experience the symptoms afterwards when exposed to emfs in their homes/workplaces as would happen with EHS persons  (i.e. for years afterwards once sensitised)

the room/s were not shielded from other sources of emfs – mobiles, TETRA (for Emergency services – on hospital roofs), RADAR so even though they weren't exposed to WIFI they may well  have been  exposed to other sources of emf. In fact unless they were in a totally screened room they most definitely would've been exposed to other sources.

The subjects had to put an aerial on their heads (this is metal and would have amplified any ambient fields in the environment)

Imagine being given a freaky aerial to put on your head/on your brain – who in their right mind wouldn't walk out of the experiment, especially given that the candidates had a pre-existing condition of anxiety”

As I say, no Electrohypersensitives took part in this experiment and symptoms reported here did not report to have correlated with those EHS persons experience, but if you watched the video this is the conclusion you will most likely have made. It's what you want to hear i.e. that you aren't in any danger or risk and can carry on just like before, using your pulsed microwaved WIFI.

The test given and conclusion is what is known as a moronic argument. Here's why......

Imagine the same experiment but now we are going to test whether heart attacks are real or whether it's all in the mind. Take a two groups of people, split them up. One watches a film about cheese and how it can give you a heart attack, the other watches a cartoon. All join together to be served with a cheese sandwich. 50% of the people think they might be having a heart attack when they eat the cheese, some even get a little anxious and a small percentage get panic attacks. Candidates have a pre-existing condition of anxiety. Therefore.....this proves that heart attacks are all in the mind and there is no such thing as heart attacks.
 
Convinced? Well you just were when it was Electrosensitives that were the bait. Caught hook line and sinker. Those of you more astute might have noticed I changed the end to 50% of the candidates, but I didn't mention whether that included those who watched the film or not. Just like in nocebo study, they reported those with the severest symptoms came from the group who watched the film, but they didn't say how many were affected with the “severest symptoms”. It could have been one or two people. They let you believe that it was all or the majority of those who watched the film. They led you to believe it was the 50% who watched the film. Whereas it might have been just a few people. In any study you will get people who will be influenced by what they see/hear. How convinced were you of the video with the robotic voice, telling you (without any source material or back-up, that EHS was all in the mind). We are all influenced to a certain degree but when it comes down to an obvious connection of being exposed to emfs & being in pain, not being exposed and not feeling pain you would be plain foolish to ignore that.

There are scores of articles with the same kind of propaganda. You have to ask yourself why would they go to so much trouble to tell you that EHS people are imagining things?

My advice is - be discerning. Apply critical logic and most of all....find the source....the original document, research ....and study it. Scrutinise it. Don't just look for the easy option.

Here is a little selection of more propaganda.






This is another sleight of hand they might use.

If you just read the conclusion you might be tempted to dismiss EHS, so read the whole report and you'll wonder why they made the conclusion. Did they even read the whole report themselves?




From this you'll deduce EHS isn't real because EHS persons felt prickling pain but there was no mobile phone signal. What is so blindingly obvious so much so, you'll miss it is that they are being exposed to an MRI machine (giving out high fields of emfs) which will definitely set off symptoms. Even the HPA agree on that.


In case you miss the obvious, this paper acknowledges the symptoms of Electrosensitivity to magnetic fields, i.e. The magnetic component of electromagnetic fields by the HPA.

Most of IEEE Research is undertaken by J Reilly. You'll see what Reilly has to say here
 
 
 
So that blows the argument that there's no link.

Another strategy propaganda uses is to utterly confuse the reader
Can anyone make sense of this article? They speak of success. Is that success of the placebo effect or success of TMS?

You see from the above experiment Fabrizio Benedetti is mentioned. He is one of the Authors of our video “This video will hurt”.
You'll see he is very interested in cognitive enhancements, “neuroinvasions” in healthy persons.

If you can't absorb all of what is said here go to “Discussion” 3rd paragraph which sums things up.
But again, best to read the whole document if you can to get the full picture.

So what have Doctors like this got to lose if we concede that WIFI is dangerous?
It would call into question the ethics of experimenting on humans with TES & with Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for research purposes – they won't be able to do the tests anymore due to the adverse health effects. This would limit or even put an end to their transhumanism/ neuro-enhancement experimentation.

This is a summation paper on the different reports of Electrosensitivity.
If you read this version you will conclude it's all in the mind

But if you read this version, you'll see that the issue isn't so cut and dry. Don't miss the bit about 7 studies showing EHS persons correctly identifying a signal.
You'll read that it's not the same for all Electrosensitives, some get effects straight away, some get the "hangover" effect as noted here, i.e. There are short term effects and longer term effects for Electrosensitives.

With Rubin's test here,
Again the moronic argument is....well then if they couldn't tell, then they can't be Electrosensitive.
they "hit" the Electrosensitives with the real signal first off and once their brains were blased, they hit them with a sham signal. Could they tell the difference? no, they couldn't tell if the next signal was a sham or not, they were too hammered by the real signal to tell. But you didn't realise that it happened in that order. You just hear Chinese whispers, the urban myth and keep that going because it's more comforting to you.

Here are additional factors which weren't revealed

whether they are earthed, i.e. On ground floor – this influences whether their systems collect a charge. 
 
what their particular frequency sensitivity is before testing begins
(in case you didn't know we are sensitive to a particular frequency, one that resonances with our own)

what their baseline biological rates are, e.g. Heart rate, nerve action potentials, brainwave patterns
all of these can be shown by ECG, EMG, EEG = our electrical measurements
(because we are ALL electromagnetic beings).

What were the flaws of the study?

the signal wasn't pulsed as is the case in real mobile phone signals.

they used a signal which mimicked a 900Mhz mobile phone signal, not an ACTUAL mobile phone signal.

Just ONE frequency was used – 900Mhz so if you're
an
Electrosensitive
who is sensitised
 to
other
frequencies,
you won't be affected.
 
            NO FIELD MEASUREMENTS ARE EVER TAKEN OF THE TEST CONDITIONS
           WITH EMF EQUIPMENT.  WHY IS THAT?
 
Any research can be put a certain way to lead you to conclude what they want you to conclude. Here they report that 60% of EHS correctly identified the presence of a signal, then they report another 63% (but didn't say it was the EHS group!) reported a signal with the sham effect. So it might have been 63% of the controls who thought there was a signal in the sham condition through guesswork thus completely negating EHS perception by a weight of measure approach.
The study confesses a leakage of the sham signal which may have been picked up by sensitives.

Don't miss....“the nature of our data required us to adopt a different analytical strategy from that originally planned. As such, this calculation should be taken as indicative only”.
Or this “

For headache, burning sensations, skin sensations, and eye pain we found evidence of a main group effect—sensitive participants reported greater severity”.

Don't miss the footnote

  • Funding This study was funded by the Programme Management Committee (PMC) of the Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research (MTHR) programme (www.mthr.org.uk), an independent body set up to provide funding for research into the possible health effects of mobile telecommunications.

Powerwatch criticizes the test methodology of Rubin's study



Here's another of Rubin's test that you don't get to hear about.  Here EHS persons registered changes in their sleep!




You can find it here, if not, well you know why......


This test used Tetra-like” signals – so not actually Tetra signals, just similar to them.

It speaks for itself – the signal didn't contain the real Tetra which would be bursts, peaks and troughs, instead they used a constant signal. The room wasn't shielded so would be open to other emfs during the sham part of the testing. Still, it reports sensitives and controls had significant effects, so why does it say at the conclusion...nothing to see here? I think you might find the backward slime adjustments, the mean averaging, the charts with unfathomable lines might help with smoke & mirrors.

In reality, the short term effects experienced by many EHS (we all have variations of symptoms) have been acknowledged for many years as a link to emfs. http://www.euitt.upm.es/estaticos/catedra-coitt/web_salud_medioamb/normativas/ieee/C95.1.pdf

Here is the chart that appears on page 16.  It tells you the maximum time in any one hour for exposure should be 6 mins.



It acknowledges the symptoms of nerve pain & spasms, heart disruption as described by many Electrosensitives. Yes, you read that correctly. You can inform yourself – to be forewarned is to be forearmed. If you experience shock-like symptoms, nerve pain, heart pain or heart disruptions then switch off your mobile, WIFI, move to an area clear of signals (including your neighbours' techno-devices). Do ya feel better now? Well do ya?

Electrosensitivity - Not the Nocebo Effect

For those of you who prefer a little more intelligence in your research. Here are some links to more sophisticated tests of Electrosensitives

.....and don't forget that the HPA themselves acknowledge symptoms


The IEEE (who regulate the limits) acknowledge symptoms to the peripheral nerves and heart from overstimulation of electromagnetic fields

 
 On July 18, 2013, the Israeli Supreme Court ordered the Israeli Government to investigate how many children in Israel already suffer from EHS.
 
Electrosensitivity is not just experienced by a few individuals and year on year is rising.
Here they ask the question.....Will we all become Electrosensitive?

Discussion about present way of testing for Electrosensitivity http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2235218/pdf/ehp0116-a00063.pdf

How should we be testing Electrosensitives?
Tinnitus is the most common symptom in EHS. Also neurotransmitter changes have been observed. It is extremely likely that tinnitus is actually cranial nerve stimulation as demonstrated here

How the microwave limits were decided in the first place
i.e. by asking people....do you feel it now?...what about now?......so it's well known that we all can feel our own sensations and pain. What's happening now is that we are all being told, no, you've got yourself wrong, don't listen to your own body, don't listen to your instincts, don't feel your own senses. Instead.....
we'll make an app for that.

Microwaves are everywhere, aren't they?


When thinking about microwave radiation, most people with a mobile phone imagine that the microwave signals sit uniformly in the air as if they are in waiting for them to use. “It's everywhere” they say. But this simply is not true. There is a background radiation which can be measured with an EMF meter. In my experience of measuring, this is around 3.6mV. It is a steady field, generally unmoving or at least varying only by a few mV which will be a slow random movement.



When the mobile phone is switched on it will draw power to the device from the nearest Telephone Mast. This creates a microwave field around the mobile phone in the region of 1,000-2,000 mV. So the field around you has risen in an instant from 3.6mV to 2,000mV. This intense field isn't there before you switch on your phone. After the initial switch on, the voltage will lower until you begin using the Apps and will spike again on the different connections. Spikes = a power surge, or a burst. This creates, I believe, a shock to the nervous system. It certainly does with Electrohypersensitives. At least, we are able to feel this on our peripheral nerves which results in intense pain. When making a call, the mobile phone voltage peaks very rapidly to around 2,000mV. It will continue at a figure between 1-2,000mV but it will flicker rapidly at differing levels, something that your nervous system will register. This will effect the cortisol in your body.



You and your mobile phone will be in an area known as the near field. This field is calculated to be roughly within 1 meter of the device and will be more intense than in the far field – outside of this range.

 
 

 

Many people criticize Electrohypersensitives for not being able to reproduce the exact same pain in every situation (i.e. changing environments) with a mobile phone. But we need to think....with a mobile phone even, many people walk around their environment trying to pick up a good reception spot, why should our brains be any different? Even standing on the same spot, I hear advice to mobile users are to move 45 degrees to the left/right for better reception. So it makes sense our brain will need to be orientated when being in receipt of a good strong signal (being affected). For WIFI even – does the laptop pick up the strongest signal in exactly the same place and location? No. In the 70's, we used to have to hold an aerial in all different places to get the TV picture to work. Mostly it worked with someone holding it. It transmitted better with a human acting as an aerial. Hotspots are not uniform and are forever changing because the waves are reflected in a moving, living world - on different surfaces, especially metal, the signal bounces around converging, reforming in the space. Where waves overlap this is where the strongest fields are, this is where the signal is its most powerful. Especially where signals cross at 90 degree angles, the signal intensifies. The signals will form in layers and according to physics at this 90 degree angle it doubles.  The electrosensitive brain picks up on the hotspot, the strongest field and pain ensues at this moment.



So in this living, breathing, moving location, this hotspot (brain zap spot) is going to be in a different spot in the atmosphere, especially when you apply the test in different atmospheric locations, so it makes sense that in order to be able to feel the signal or be affected by it everytime at the exact same place, you would need to be in the same situation, eg. In your home where your neighbours' gadgets are emitting from the same place. It makes sense that a moving hotspot in the atmosphere will sometimes miss the target of your brain as you move around so that sometimes you will be “zapped” and other times not. Only when a static device is emitting to a static body will it effect be the same. However, this is missing out half the equation, as a moving body will generate extra electromagnetic fields, or rather calculations should be made on a moving body first as this is what is intrinsic to the nature of a body.



It's acknowledged that the brain is affected by waves that traverse from the side of the head, so if a particular wave is coming at you from the front, your brain will not register it with the same intensity, perhaps not at all (I will leave that for the Engineers). Again if you are moving, then this is also why exact responses cannot be moulded into a definitive experiment.



Additionally, Electrohypersensitives are usually affected by a particular frequency or a set of particular frequencies. Some will be affected by frequencies of a particular mobile phone carrier, others by WIFI, more still by DECT, TETRA or other. So to put Electrosensitives to the test, it should be established first, which frequencies we are affected by or not, otherwise there will be false results.



One test is always quoted to try to persuade the general public that Electrosensitives are not able to register the presence of microwaves. There is no link to this study, but it tells of a transmitter being switched on or off and apparently Electrohypersensitives should be able sense this immediately. Despite the fact that the transmitters will set up oscillations to the nerves which will continue even if the transmitter is turned off. Think about the time when you went to a concert or club and you came out of the doors with your ears “ringing”. Does that stop the moment you leave the club or concert. The moment? How long afterwards do your ears stop ringing? Additionally, in this Test, there is no information being transmitted with the signal from the transmitter and this is what is causing the problem, the information + the signal which overloads the senses, so this test just includes the carrier signal being switched on or off. We are Electrohypersensitives but we are not psychics or machines that go on and off.  I wonder what other disability has to undergo such deep denial and scrutiny.  Imagine the effects of alcohol going through the same process whereby hardcore drinkers were put forward as candidates, why, we would all be saying alcohol has no effect, none at all, and those of you that were inebriated would be amongst the first, shouting...it's having no effect on me.

Reality Bites


Reality Bites

How do the Experts determine the safety of your mobile phone?

SAR (radiation) is measured on a phantom head. The plastic head is filled with water to
represent the human brain. They view this as a worst case scenario, a whole head full
of liquid.

They are looking at this as the more water, the more radiation and therefore even if your brain
was completely full of water, it still would not exceed the limits of radiation according to their computer measurements.



However, what they are not measuring or even contemplating is the effect of the signal, i.e.
the kinetic energy of the pulses. All mobile phones emit pulses of microwave
power (energy), which can be thought of like the power of a gale-force wind firing in tiny bursts.

The effect of this energy pulse works in exact opposite of the measurement calculations above.
According to the plastic vox model, (full of water), the dynamic power of the signal would be like a drop in the ocean, it will be much diluted, but to a human brain with small passages of liquid,
it will have a greater impact. It stands to reason – take a straw and blow through it, try to move
a gallon of water and you will make a small surface wave, but on a trickle of liquid (like that found in your brain) you can blow the water until it runs dry. We are looking at a huge beam of energy pulse on a tiny vessel/ tiny amount of liquid through the cranium or through other passages in our bodies as opposed to a head size full of water. It stands to reason that the LESS water/liquid, the
greater the impact.

Q. How much more impact will this have than the original/ current SAR model?

A. 99.999% in other words, the exact opposite.

If you compare a head full with the most liquid possible...now think of a human
brain with the least liquid and that is what is the calculation should be using as a model.
As a recent report stated, the current method of calculation will not cover 99% of the population.

Reality really does bite.

How do we measure torture?

When most people think about the word torture, they might imagine a scene of a prison cell, probably set in a fictional past, with a man, possibly hooded, strung up in chains which are attached to a stone wall.  In essence, we think of torture as a work of fiction, something occurring to the outer body, and something happening in the past and...definitely....over there - in another country, another place.  Somewhere distant from ourselves.  If you have kept up with the latest revelations on torture you will have heard of waterboarding, oh but wait a minute, this interrogation technically isn't classified as torture, or is it?...it makes a person experience a drowning sensation, gasping for air, oxygen deprived, suffocating...but if it doesn't pertain to the classical model we have of torture, then we don't have to classify it as such, do we?


So it seems despite the world becoming more sophisticated and torture becoming more sadistic and mentally/spiritually torturous we can dismiss any inflictions with a clever re-arrangement of definition.  As long as we can apply rhetoric, we can negate anything.  So how about this....imagine your heart being artificially manipulated, cranked up, forced to beat faster than it should naturally beat.  Imagine the quiet journey of your blood, the fluids through your body, which you aren't normally aware of, being ramped up to a fast RUSH.  Your neurons firing at a faster pace than you know to be your natural workings, so much that you see flashes of light.  Your body trembles, you are agitated, every cell is in fast motion.  In fact, imagine your whole system being turned up on a dial to a manic rate so that you are on fast speed, out of your control.  So that you feel like your whole body and brain is like having a pneumatic drill through it and every cell is shaking at an atomic level.  If that was happening to you at the turn of a switch, or a button, wouldn't you consider that to be torture?  Well it is......and Electrosensitives live out this torture every day with their systems being ramped up beyond its natural level from microwave gadgets in our environment.  Pulsed microwaves are bio-active.  They disrupt the integrity of the cell membrane, interrupt at gap junctions of chemical/electrical pathways, switch on/off ion gate channels, disrupt the heart beat.


Perhaps we have lower blood pressure, quieter (lower voltage) hearts, slower rhythms, we all have different rates, but that doesn't mean our automatic systems shouldn't be entitled to determine its own pace, to work at our bodies' natural rhythms.  Please support our right for our brain and body to operate at its natural pace and not the pace of artificial technology pounding at us from the environment (when an exterior signal is stronger than the bodies own signals, it will overtake & dominate that signal by the law of Superposition).  It's Torture being an Electrosensitive.  Your signature could make a difference to our world.  Thank you.
