World Health Organization vs. electro-smog victims

Do not measure radiation in your house. Says who? says WHO !

World Health Organization writes off electro-smog victims

Is "dirty electricity" in your own suburban dream home making you ill?

According to PooBahs at the World Health Organization, you've only come down
with "Idiopathic Environment Intolerance" (IEI).

Summer smog visible on the skyline over cities like Toronto and Los Angeles
provides a perfect seasonal soapbox for headline hungry politicians.

No politician or environmental activist is doing anything about the
electricity pollution that an increasing number of people say is making them ill, and
certainly not WHO.

WHO, which last week held a workshop on "Electrical Hypersensitivity", in
Prague, Czech Republic wrote off global victims of electricity pollution and
electrosmog-and included a recommendation advising governments to "discourage
measurement in homes".

If electrosmog is not creating problems for human health, then why would WHO
discourage measurement of electric magnetic fields in homes?

Retired Toronto police officer Martin Weatherall, who suffers from an illness
he believes was brought on by electricity pollution, says WHO may someday be
found "criminally irresponsible" in writing off the victims of electrosmog.

Weatherall, who works on behalf of other victims of electricity pollution,
has dispatched a letter to WHO Director General Lee Jong Wok, included here:

10 November 2005

Director-General Lee Jong-wook
World Health Organization Headquarters
Avenue Appia 20
1211 Geneva 27
Switzerland

Dear Director-General:

I have recently read the document entitled "WHO Workshop on Electrical
Hypersensitivity, Prague, Czech Republic, October 25-27, 2004. Working Group
Meeting". I am now writing to advise you how disappointed I am with some of the
recommendations. In particular, I am referring to the recommendations on page 8
under the headings Information for the General Public and Advice to Governments,
both of which include the point: "discourage measurements in homes".

This advice to the General Public and to Governments is so completely
contrary to sensible thinking and so fundamentally wrong that the World Health
Organization may be criminally liable for offences in the countries that follow
these guidelines. I base this statement on my own experience and situations where
I have had personal involvement.

If the WHO is considering only simple EMFs as being the cause of many
people's illnesses, the WHO is quite wrong. A better way to describe the real problem
is "electrical pollution" or "electrosmog". This includes:

1. Electromagnetic fields

2. Electrical fields

3. Ground current electricity

4. Dirty electricity on the power distribution systems

5. Broadcast signals from a variety of different sources, including cellular
telephones, radar and wireless devices.

If the WHO is not willing to consider how all of these problems interact and
cause health problems, the WHO will fail to diagnose the true cause of many
severe illnesses and will fail in its duties to the world population.

In the WHO document, the working group has chosen a description other than
electro hypersensitivity and has called the illnesses "Idiopathic Environmental
Intolerance' (IEI). My description is a little more simple to understand and
is more to the point - "electrical and radio frequency radiation poisoning".
The persons that you refer to as IEI suffer their illnesses only after being
exposed to dangerous levels of electrical pollution. They have been poisoned,
possibly by one of the above named toxic ingredients, but it is more likely that
a mixture of two or more elements caused their illnesses.

It is totally irresponsible for the WHO to discourage the testing of homes of
persons suffering from EMFs and other forms of electrical pollution. Severe
suffering and even death may result for those who do not get help. The WHO
should reverse the current recommendations, and advise complete and thorough
testing of victims' homes and, possibly, their workplaces. It is very important to
identify and quantify the reasons why so many people are being made sick by
electrical pollution. Missing any one of the above "ingredients" of electrical
pollution may fail to find the real reason for a victim's sickness and cause
further suffering and danger. If several new viruses were causing death and
suffering throughout the world, surely the WHO would not simply say to Governments
- "do not try to identify them". Why, then, has the WHO ignored the
significant health damage already occurring in many countries because of electrical
pollution? Is the WHO going to wait until a catastrophic amount of harm is
visible to all the population, before taking action?

My own situation is an example of the need to identify and measure the
different elements of electrical pollution. Considerable ground current electricity
was found inside my home even when all of the electricity was disconnected.
High electrical fields were located throughout the basement and on the telephone
lines. Electromagnetic fields covered the whole house and were particularly
high at the outdoor drilled water well. Various low and high frequencies were
located on the electricity flowing through the house. I suffered a variety of
very adverse health symptoms and developed prostate cancer within one year of
living at my home. My wife and I have been unable to live in our own house for
ten months now, and we have been forced to find alternate accommodation
because the electrical utility company has refused to correct problems with their
distribution system. Canadian health care and government authorities have failed
to provide any meaningful assistance or advice about our electrical pollution
problem. Without the assistance of an electronics expert who provided
detailed measurements, I would not have known what was causing my illness and would
have probably continued to grow increasingly ill. Your recommendations enable
governments and utility companies to continue their bad and dangerous
practices, while at the same time leaving sufferers helpless to correct their
situations.

Within the last few weeks, I have been involved in three situations where the
measurement of victims' homes resulted in the discovery of dangerous
electrical pollution that was causing serious illness. In a rural house northwest of
Toronto, a wireless plug-in telephone jack was causing massive amounts of high
frequency radiation inside the home. After the wireless jack and other
problematic items were unplugged, a female occupant of the home reported a drastic
improvement to her health. She was able to walk properly, climb stairs, and
sleep all night, which she had not been able to accomplish previously. She also
reported that she was no longer experiencing many severe migraines, only "
normal" headaches. Only the use of special instruments located the problematic
devices that were causing so much harm.

Upon request, I recently attended in Toronto at the apartment of a woman who
was disabled by electrical pollution. A defective fluorescent light fixture in
the apartment below seemed to be the cause of very high levels of EMFs that
were emanating from the kitchen floor. In the bedroom of the same apartment,
near to the place where the victim's head lies when she is sleeping, a very high
amount of high frequency radiation was discovered coming from the wall. The
problem was eventually located in the next apartment, where an almost new
wireless telephone was found to be the source of extremely high amounts of radio
frequencies. This was a problem even when the telephone was not in use, and
simply resting in its cradle. Only careful testing with a variety of different
sensitive instruments managed to locate these very serious electrical pollution
problems. Unfortunately, the victim is so electrically hypersensitive that she
still suffers greatly. In her previous efforts to get help from doctors, she
had been referred to psychiatrists and had not been provided with any
meaningful help. The WHO recommendations actually encourage this type of treatment by
failing, as an organization, to explore the connection between electrical
pollution and sickness, and by advising physicians not to search for causal factors
when treating victims. Furthermore, the WHO undermines the serious nature of
this problem by advising governments that there are no grounds to use IEI as a
diagnostic classification.

In a different situation, in a rural home located west of Toronto, I found
another wireless telephone that was producing and transmitting very high levels
of high frequency radiation, but only when the telephone was turned on and in
use. The victim complained of tinnitus, severe ear pain in the area where the
receiver was normally held against her head, and severe pain linked to her
neck and back. In the short amount of time since this problem was identified and
she stopped using the wireless phone, the victim has reported that her
injuries have improved by fifty percent.

In the workplace of an assistant professor at a Canadian University,
extremely high levels of ground current electricity were located flowing through his
office. He has developed such severe sensitivities to the electrical pollution,
that he cannot work in that office and is experiencing great difficulty
finding a place to live where he does not feel ill. A university office tower
located near his office houses many different broadcast and cell phone antennae.
Amongst the workers in the top floors of that tower, there are several persons
who have developed cancer.

In each of these situations, it was difficult to locate and identify the
cause of the harm. Even simple EMF measurements, which you discourage, would have
been inadequate. The victims would have continued to be harmed, their quality
of life would have been degraded, and their lives would have been at risk. If
the WHO continues with its recommendations to discourage the measurement of
homes, you will be ensuring that many people will suffer, become ill, and
possibly die, and that the real causes of their sicknesses will not be identified by
health authorities.

There are clear signs that electrical pollution is becoming a major health
problem throughout the developed world. The recommendations from this working
group will ensure that the WHO stays "willfully blind" to the causes of what
appears to be a major environmental disaster. This health threat is so
significant that the WHO should give it highest priority. Instead, your feeble response
to date is compromising the safety of those you should be protecting.

In conclusion, I recommend that the health dangers of electrical pollution be
brought to the attention of all governments and health authorities throughout
the world. Also, thorough and complete testing of victims' homes should be
recommended to governments, health authorities and health care professionals, so
that the electrical pollution harming citizens can be identified. Only by
this means will the WHO be able to properly recognize the real causes of these
illnesses and be in a position to make recommendations for a safer world
environment in the future.

Yours sincerely,

Martin Weatherall

That is idiocy or evil on the part of WHO. Think I will write them my
own letter tomorrow!
Thanks for the post.

Hello,

the WHO is not worth to talk about it is only worth to fight against.
DR Rath wants to replace the WHO with another organisation which
serves much more the people and not the industry.

Dear Shivani

thanks for posting another superb document. I thought the article
from the Toronto(?) newspaper which you posted was also excellent and
one i will keep.

the only query i have to raise with martin weatherall regarding his
powerful and eloquent article is why, when in nearly every case he
cites he discovered that wireless RF microwaves were the main cause
of illness, why does he put RF emmissions at No.5 on his list of
possible causes of ES. Surely they should be at No. 1.  

I beleive that ES sufferers would save themselves alot of time and
misery if they were to thoroughly check their RF exposure before
looking for other causes, as I believe that particularly with new
cases of ES that this is the most likely ROOT cause of illness.

Shivani, thanks for posting another superb document. I thought the
article from the Toronto(?) newspaper which you posted was also
excellent and one i will keep.

the only query i have to raise with martin weatherall regarding his
powerful and eloquent article is why, when in nearly every case he
cites he discovered that wireless RF microwaves were the main cause
of illness, why does he put RF emmissions at No.5 on his list of
possible causes of ES. Surely they should be at No. 1.  

I beleive that ES sufferers would save themselves alot of time and
misery if they were to thoroughly check their RF exposure before
looking for other causes, as I believe that particularly with newer
(post-2000?) cases of ES that this is the most likely ROOT cause of
illness.

nitpicking perhaps. A brilliant letter, though. We desperately need
such convincing spokespersons.

Hmmm, maybe... I still believe that the root cause of ES for many
is that something was already wrong with them in the first place,
and the electromagnetic fields merely trigger off a reaction
that would not have taken place if they were healthy to begin with.
This is confirmed by cases where people have taken steps to improve
their health, and their ES symptoms diminish as a result.

Yesterday I was at my nutritionist, and I commented that a particular
Vitamin E supplement I had tried seemed to be a cure for my ES
symptoms (if not for the panic attacks it provoked). She commented
as if she had some experience in this area by saying yes, for
some people it can be, for others, calcium supplementation may
be the key, etc.

Marc

I am inclined to agree with Marc. My husband and I have not yet proven thistheory by
resolving the underlying health issues/weaknesses that were triggered by EMF exposure,
causing our ES. But we're working on it. In my case I believe the "root cause" was toxicity
from amalgam fillings (currently being removed, in stages). In the case of my husband I
believe it was toxicity from a root canal (we are searching for the right dentist to do the
extraction now). EMF exposure is obviously a great stressor but clearly people vary in their
apparent vulnerability to this stress. I'm convinced that eliminating toxins and improved
nutrition are keys to recovery. As well as EMF avoidance to the extent possible, of course!
