Prague Meeting

I would be flying to Prague Meeting on Electrosensitivity on Sunday morning(European time). The draft agenda of the Meeting is attached below.

I think that this Group of 100 members is a respectable society, so if there is anything I could pay special attention to for the sake of the Group, or if there would be anybody's particular concern to be addresses with people at the Meeting, please let me know! But immediatelly, as the last term I would be reading my email would be tomorrow (Sunday) morning.

I am sorry I haven't asked that earlier, I am so busy that I am still finishing my paper for the Meeting (so I am still not sharing it with you)...

Talk to you more when I get back!

I'd be interested in knowing what the cure is... :-)

But then again, I think we might figure that out here sooner than they will... :-)

There are a million things that I would like to have raised but in
looking at the schedule there is not going to be much time to talk
about them.
In general, the international community can produce fact books or
research papers that recognize this condition so others that have never
heard about it can get up to speed. I know that Sweden recognizes it
and has disability options.
I would like something from the workshop that is a summary that is
published so I can get a copy to give to my employer and health care
providers so they don't think it is a behavioral and mental issue.

I have done a number of therapies, detox, homeopathic remedies, enzyme
and vitamin supplements, energetic healing, QXCI, etc. to heal myself.
I would like a summary of therapies that have shown dramatic results in
the healing of ES.
I have a particular interest in Cholinesterase and neurological
treatments that are NON DRUG related and totally natural.

I am glad that you are going and look forward to the results!
gratefully,
Andrew

I am interested to know when conventional medical community will recognize
ES as a health problem, so I can get support from my general GP rather than
just ignorance.

This item is interesting. Cognitive therapy is often used for patients who
are encountering heavy mental challenges, to verify if something is a fact
or perception due to mental state. It seems they are implying that people
get neurological side-effects from ES? This is good if they recognize this
aspect of ES, since it has been the most challenging part of ES for me.
Many symptoms are predictable and manageable (with the right
protection/diet). Neurological symptoms put a twist into understanding
symptoms (self-diagnosis) since the mind is alterred so difficult to make
clear judgements about symptoms. This makes it that much worse when doctor
says "its all in your head".
