The radiation poisoning of America

Prior to 1996, the wireless age was not coming
online fast enough, primarily because communities
had the authority to block the siting of cell
towers. But the Federal Communications Act (1996)
made it virtually impossible for communities to
stop construction of cell towers ­even if they
pose threats to public health and the
environment. Since the decision to enter the age
of wireless convenience was politically
determined for us, we have forgotten
well-documented safety and environmental concerns
and, with a devil-may-care zeal that is lethally
short-sighted, we have incorporated into our
lives every wireless toy that comes on the market
as quickly as it becomes available. We behave as
if we are addicted to radiation. Our addiction to
cell phones has led to harder "drugs" like
wireless Internet. And now we are bathing in the
radiation that our wireless enthusiasm has
financed. The addicted, uninformed, corporately
biased and politically-influenced may dismiss our
scientifically-sound concerns about the
apocalyptic hazards of wireless radiation. But we
must not. Instead, we must sound the alarm.

Illa Garcia wore jewelry the first day she went
back to work as a fire lookout for the state of
California in the summer of 2002. The intense
radiation from dozens of RF/microwave antennas
surrounding the lookout heated the metals on her
body enough to burn her skin. "I still have those
scars," she says. "I never wore jewelry to work after that."

Likely Mountain Lookout, on U.S. Forest Service
land with a spectacular view of Mount Shasta, is
one of thousands of RF/microwave "hot spots"
across the nation. A newly-erected cellular
communications tower was only 30 feet from the
lookout. "One antenna on that tower was even with
our heads," recalls Garcia. "We could hear
high-pitched buzzing. There were also three state
communications antennas mounted on the lookout,
only 6 feet from where we walked. We climbed past them every day."

Motorola company manuals for management of
communications sites confirm that high frequency
radiation from these antennas is nasty stuff.
Safety regulations mandate warning signs, EMF
awareness training, protective gear, even
transmitter deactivation for personnel working
that close to antennas. Garcia and co-worker Mary
Jasso were never warned about the hazards which,
they say, demonstrates extreme malfeasance on the
part of agencies and commercial companies responsible for their exposure.

By the end of fire season, Garcia and Jasso were
so ill they were forced to retire and the lookout
was closed to state personnel. Garcia, 52, is now
severely disabled with fibromyalgia, auto-immune
thyroiditis and acute nerve degeneration. Medical
tests confirmed broken DNA strands in her blood
and abnormal tissue death in her brain.

Dr. Gunner Heuser, a medical specialist in
neurotoxicity, states that Garcia’s disorders are
a result of chronic electromagnetic field
exposure in the microwave range and that "she has
become totally disabled as a result." Dr. Heuser
said, "In my experience patients develop
multisystem complaints after EMF exposure just as
they do after toxic chemical exposure."

Jasso, who worked the lookout for 11 seasons, is
now disabled with brain and lung damage, partial
left side paralysis, muscle tremors, bone pain
and DNA damage. Jasso discovered that all
lookouts who worked Likely Mountain since 1989
are disabled. At only 61 years of age, she has
lost so much memory that she cannot remember back
to when her first three children were born. She
fears that communications radiation may be a
major factor in the nation’s phenomenal epidemics of dementia and autism.

Both women say they have been unjustly denied
worker’s comp and medical benefits. Their pleas
for help to state and federal agencies have been
fruitless. Between them they have racked up over
$150,000 in medical bills, although there is no
effective treatment for radiation sickness.

Twenty-two other members of Garcia and Jasso’s
two families received Likely Mountain radiation
exposure. All suffer serious and expensive
illnesses, including tumors, blood abnormalities,
stomach problems, lung damage, bone pain, muscle
spasms, extreme fatigue, tremors, numbness,
impaired motor skills, cataracts, memory loss,
spine degeneration, sleep problems, low immunity
to infection, hearing and vision problems, hair loss and allergies.

Jasso’s husband, who often stayed at the lookout,
has a rare soft tissue sarcoma known to be
radiation related. Garcia’s husband, who spent
little time at the lookout, has systemic cancer
that started with sarcoma of the colon. Garcia’s
daughter Teresa was at the lookout for a total of
two hours during her first pregnancy. Her
daughter was born with slight brain damage and
immunity problems. "That baby was always sick,"
says Garcia. Teresa spent only three days at the
lookout during her second pregnancy. Her son was born with autism.

Garcia and Jasso also have a terminal condition
known as "toxic encephalopathy," involving brain
damage to frontal and temporal lobes. This was
confirmed by SPECT brain scans. Twelve others in
the two-family group who also had the scans were
diagnosed with the affliction. "All of us with
this condition have been told that we’re dying,"
says Garcia. "Our mutated cells will reproduce
new mutated cells until the body finally shuts down."
