This study was sent to me from a newsletter from Quebec Canada: Refusons les Compteurs info: _http://refusonslescompteurs.wordpress.com_ (http://refusonslescompteurs.wordpress.com/) campagne de lettres: _http://www.nousrefusonslescompteurs.org_ (http://www.nousrefusonslescompteurs.org) Changes of Clinically Important Neurotransmitters under the Influence Of Modulated RF Fields — A Long-term Study under Real-life Conditions 2010 Translation: Original study in German: BUCHNER K, EGER H (2011) Umwelt-Medizin-Gesellschaft 24(1): 44-57. Translation By Katharina Gustavs and authorized by the authors and publisher In 2003, the Commission on Radiation Protection was still noticing that there are no reliable data available concerning the public’s exposure to UMTS radiation near UMTS base stations (1). RF radiation exposures below current limits represent a considerable risk potential. A com-prehensive overview is given in the review of 878 scientific studies by Prof. Hecht, which he conducted on behalf of the German Federal Institute of Telecommunications (contract no. 4231/630402) (2, 3). As early as the 1980s, US research projects also demonstrated in long-term studies that rats raised under sterile conditions and ex-posed to **low-level** RF radiation showed signs of stress by in-creased incidences of endocrine tumors (4, 5). This follow-up of 60 participants over one and a half years shows a significant effect on the adrenergic sys-tem after the installation of a new cell phone base station in the village of Rimbach (Bavaria). After the activation of the GSM base station, the levels of the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrena-line increased significantly during the first six months; the levels of the precursor dopamine decreased substantially. The initial levels were not restored even after one and a half years. As an indicator of the dysregulated chronic imbalance of the stress system, the phenylethylamine (PEA) levels dropped signifi-cantly until the end of the study period. The effects showed a dose-response relationship and occurred well below current limits for technical RF radiation exposures. Chronic dysregulation of the catecholamine system has great relevance for health and is well known to damage human health in the long run. Conclusions: In Rimbach, the increase in sleep problems, cephalgia, vertigo, concentration problems, and allergies could be clinically documented after the cell phone base station had been activated. The newly developed symptoms can be explained clinically with the help of disturbances in the humoral stress axis (53). After having exhausted the biological feedback mechanisms, major health problems are to be expected. The possible long-term con-sequences of remaining caught in the exhaustion stage have al-ready been described by Hecht and Selye (3, 16). Thus, the significant results presented here not only provide clear evidence for health-relevant effects in the study subjects of Rim-bach after a new GSM base station had been installed there, but they also offer the opportunity to carry out a causal analysis. This has already been successfully done in the "shut-down study" of Schwarzenburg, Switzerland (54). In Rimbach, the documented levels should return to normal once the relevant base station is shut down. Epidemiological Evidence: There is current epidemiological evidence for the considerable clini-cal relevance of the dysfunction of the humoral stress axis with its endpoints of PEA decrease and adrenaline increase, as documented by us. 1. Decreased PEA levels can be found in a large portion of ADD/ADHD patients. As therapy methylphenidate is used, a sub-stance that is structurally related to PEA. Between 1990 and 2004, the boom time of cell phones, prescription costs for this medication had increased by a factor of 86 (49, 55). 2. As part of the German Mobile Telecommunication Research Programme, approximately 3000 children and adolescents were studied in Bavaria for their individual cell phone radiation exposure levels in relation to health problems. Among the various data sets, the data set regarding behavioral problems showed a significant increased risk for both adolescents (OR: 3.7, 95%-CI: 1.6-8.4) and also children (OR: 2.9, 95%-CI: 1.4-5.9) in the highest exposure group (56). For the first time, the "Rimbach Study" provides a model of explanation in biochemical terms. 3. Pheochromocytomata are adrenaline- and noradrenaline-secreting tumors of the adrenal gland (57). This type of tumor due to microwave exposure has already been demonstrated in animal experiments in 1985 (5). The increase of this disease in the US population is highly significant. Concurrent with the increase in local microwave exposures due to an increased number of base stations and use of wireless communication technologies, the number of cases have increased from 1,927 to 3,344 between 1997 and 2006 (58, 59). _http://www.next-up.org/pdf/Klaus_Buchner_and_Horst_Eger_Rimbach_study.pdf_ (http://www.next-up.org/pdf/Klaus_Buchner_and_Horst_Eger_Rimbach_study.pdf) There is more but I cannot translate it into English: I would dearly like to be able to understand this presentation _http://estrierefuse.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/estrie-refuse-prc3a9s-compteurs-rf-ver-15fc3a9v2013.pdf_ (http://estrierefuse.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/estrie-refuse-prc3a9s-compteurs -rf-ver-15fc3a9v2013.pdf) pertaining to the evidence Quebec used to get the opt outs for the smart meters as well as Safety Code 6 Excerpts from newsletter Un expert de Santé Canada admet devant la cour Supérieure du Québec que le code de sécurité 6 de Santé Canada ne tient pas compte des effets biologiques non-thermiques sur la santé humaine Hydro-Québec, l'Institut National de Santé Publique du Québec et l'école Polytechnique affirment sur toutes les tribunes que les compteurs émetteurs de radiofréquences sont sans danger. Cette affirmation repose entièrement sur la conformité au Code de sécurité 6 de Santé Canada. Or, un expert de Santé Canada, convoqué par la Cour Supérieure du Québec dans le cadre d'un procès opposant la ville de Chateauguay à Rogers au sujet d'une antenne relais située trop près des habitations, admet que les études sur les effets non-thermiques n’ont pas été prises en compte dans l'établissment du code de sécurité 6. Les faits sont relatés par le docteur Magda Havas _http://www.magdahavas.com/health-canada-admits-safety-code-6-guideline-for-microwave-radiat ion-is-based-only-on-thermal-effects/_ (http://www.magdahavas.com/health-canada-admits-safety-code-6-guideline-for-microwave-radiation-is-based-only-on- thermal-effects/) Vous trouverez sur le site de _EstrieRefuse_ (http://estrierefuse.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/estrie-refuse-prc3a9s-compteurs-rf-ver-15fc3a9v2013.pdf) une excellente présentation qui met en évidence, références à l’appui, les lacunes du code 6. Les effets biologiques non-thermiques de l'exposition aux micro-ondes sont démontrés par une équipe de chercheurs allemands _http://www.next-up.org/pdf/Klaus_Buchner_and_Horst_Eger_Rimbach_study.pdf_ (http://www.next-up.org/pdf/Klaus_Buchner_and_Horst_Eger_Rimbach_study.pdf) Une récente étude scientifique pilote (2011) en provenance d'Allemagne vient de démontrer sans équivoque que l’exposition continue de personnes aux rayonnements pulsés artificiels micro-ondes des antennes relaiscrée une réponse de stress physique et un dérèglement chronique du système catécholamines qui est connu pour avoir une grande importance de nuisance sur la santé humaine dans le court et le long terme. Les catécholamines les plus courantes sont l'adrénaline (épinéphrine), la noradrénaline (norépinéphrine) et la dopamine. blessings Shan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
