Mobile Telecommunications and the Brain
-----------------------------------------
5th COST 281 Workshop in Budapest, Hungary, November 15th and 16th, 2003

Call for Participation

The 5th COST 281 workshop will be held in Budapest, Hungary on November 15th and 16th, 2003, immediately following the 6th International Congress of the European BioElectromagnetics Association (EBEA), which will also take place in Budapest on November 13-15, 2003. The general subject area for the COST 281 workshop will this time be "Mobile Telecommunications and the Brain".

This subject has recently gained particular attention in the media because the results of several controversial studies seem to indicated that the electromagnetic fields of mobile phones can have a negative effect on cognitive functions, cause brain damage, or induce brain cancer. The bulk of research in this area, however, suggest that the electromagnetic fields that emanate from mobile phones do not have a negative effect on human health.

Goal of the workshop in Budapest is to provide a forum for specialists and researchers working in this area to share their latest research, to assess the scientific significance of the results of previous studies especially regarding their consequences for human health, to discuss the current state of the art, and to facilitate collaboration between researchers in this field. Topics and subject areas to be presented and discussed include but are not limited to:

· Influence of electromagnetic fields on the blood brain barrier.
· Influence of electromagnetic fields on cognitive functions.
· Epidemiological studies investigating a possible connection between mobile phone use and brain cancer.
· Studies investigating effects that could characterize and explain the non-specific disorders affected persons report about.

You are invited to submit proposals for presentations in these fields to the COST 281 scientific secretary, Gerd Friedrich ( friedrich@fgf.de, or  info@fgf.de).

You are also invited to suggest topics to be included in the workshop program in addition to those mentioned above, or to participate in the determination of the general character and structure of the workshop (e.g. presentation vs. discussion sections). We intend to finalize the general workshop program by end of august.

RF/EMF The Down Fall Of Advanced Society
----------------------------------------
History Repeats Itself - The Down Fall Of Advanced Society (excerpt)
By: John Coates

History has shown the very things that have accelerated civilized societal growth has also contributed to its down fall and total collapse! One might ask, what caused the fall of the Roman Empire? Well Rome wasn't built in a day nor did it fall in a day, but in short I'll explain why it fell. It was the invention of the aqueduct that gave glamour to Rome as the most civilized society in the world.

Over a period of 500 years (from 312 BC to AD 226) 11 lead-lined aqueducts were built to bring water to Rome from as far away as 57 miles. It was not until 27 B.C that Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, an architect from 1st Century Rome, warned against using lead for making pipes to bring drinking water into the city. "Water rushing over the lead-lined aqueducts carried just enough of the harmful element to slowly drive the entire population of Rome insane." Therefore, the invention of the aqueduct contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire.

An analogy can be made with today's wireless industry and electrical power grids that feed the homes in every civilized nation.

In the 25 years of its existence, personal wireless communications have become one of the major sources of Electromagnetic field (EMF) or radio frequency (RF) radiation. Those most susceptible to this new dominant technology are clinically diagnosed with ES (electromagnetic sensitivity syndrome). ES is a disorder whereby neurological and allergic-type symptoms are brought on thru exposure to electromagnetic fields.

Symptoms may include but are not limited to: Headache, eye irritation, dizziness, nausea, skin rash, facial swelling, weakness, fatigue, pain in joints and/or muscles, buzzing/ringing in ears, skin numbness, abdominal pressure and pain, breathing difficulty, and irregular heartbeat. Additional symptoms have been reported in some individuals such as balance problems, body and/or muscle spasms, convulsions, confusion, depression, difficulty in concentrating, seizure, sleep disturbances, and memory difficulties.

A host of conditions has been clustered under the umbrella of EMF illnesses, often over looked is the growing number of birth defects and mental disorders in children, not to mention the simple correlation between cell phones and cancer! RF Radiation has shown to induce accumulative damage on genetic information that opens the possibility of thousands of medical disorders.

Just as the Romans adored their modern convenience of running water they lacked the knowledge to understand the societal impacts of their technical achievements. Today the conveniences of wireless voice and data transmissions from cell phones to laptops flow just as smoothly as the waters from roman aqueducts, and again most lack the knowledge to understand the societal impacts of our modern wireless achievements.

Because of our EMF research, RF Safe has provided plausible scientific theory on genetic hazards induced by non-ionizing levels of RF exposure. These theories are currently supported in universities around the world.

The issue of medical implant or hearing aid device compatibility is a fast growing public concern too. Many incompatibly problems still exist between medical devices and wireless communications devices such as cell phones, the effects range from noise interference to loss of functionality.

RE: Anger at advisers' biotech links
------------------------------------
How interesting, Klaus, that the Observer article last week should mention David Coggon. As you may know he is on record in the literature (either the Lancet or the BMJ, I can't remember which) for saying there is no evidence of adverse EMF bioeffects. He has also recieved a large grant from Lawrie Challis 's directionally-biased fund for cellphone research, and I have no doubt of the findings that Coggon will dutifully report.

That man (Coggon) was chosen by Surrey University to examine my PhD as part of an ambush designed to fail me, after being told to re-examine me by the University Visitor following a judicial review of my complaints. Fortunately I found a typewritten note written by another examiner pre-failing me - written before the viva! - , and hence I refused to take the exam! This other (internal) examiner, one Jefferys, is a member of the UK IEE (Institution of Electrical Engineers, who of course have a vested interest in suppressing adverse EMF bio-effects research.

In general internal examiners are suposed to review the PhD candidate's thesis in draft and make corrective suggestions before it is printed, hence to make surer that the candidate will produce acceptable science, but this character did the reverse!

This scandalous activity by Surrey University's Robens Institute is explained by the fact the University get massive funding from the National Grid who are based at nearby Leatherhead, and have done for decades.

Perhaps, following the Observer's lead, we ought to open a separate website chronicling these scandals? Equally, it may be said that such antics have been a part of commercial politics since the days of the Medicis or Macchiavelli. The only difference is in the 17thC they used actual poison!

I have no objection to your copying this around the web, since it is high time these shenanigans were exposed. Only this way and through media attention can we get clean science into the frame.

As for HAARP, I have submitted a poster for the November EBEA meeting in Budapest suggesting that ozone depletion may also derive from bashing it from underneath with RF/MW for fifty years. This is another piece of science which is being rigorously suppressed because if it got out the public would go mad. You can see my submission on the EBEA website. But with John Male (ex National Grid physicist) on the EBEA Board, they will probably bin it!

If I am right, and I usually am, then the world will have to think about restricting atmospheric RF broadcasting and telecoms transmissions at night, unless they want to give us melanomas or burn us all with UV! The harsh lessons of solar exposure were on the News last night when a melanoma victom's story was featured, incidentally, so some sort of govt inspired campaign is probably underway.

Best, Roger Coghill

"Something has changed in the culture and values of academic science over the last quarter-century. University science is now entangled with entrepreneurship, and researchers with a commercial interest are caught in an ethical quandary. How can an academic scientist honor knowledge for its own sake, while also using knowledge as a means to generate wealth? Science in the Private Interest investigates the trends and effects of modern, commercialized academic science.

This book dives unhesitatingly into some of modern science's messiest and most urgent questions. How did scientists begin choosing proprietary gain over the pursuit of knowledge? What effects have academic-corporate partnerships had on the quality and integrity of science? And, most importantly, how does this affect the public?"

Free energy Theories
---------------------
I have been experimenting with Tesla's Wardencliffe oscillator. You can see some of my experiments with flat spirals online at  http://www.tesla-coil-builder.com.

Tesla's Wardencliffe and related patents describe his invention to a considerable degree. When Tesla's Wardencliffe tower is understood as Tesla designed it, and not as engineers would like to interpret it, his published claims and patents are the definitive instructions for building the device you seek.

One experiment that I did produced the standing longitudinal waves and can easily be reproduced. You can see photos of the effects of the standing waves here...  http://www.tesla-coil-builder.com/FlatSpiralSolenoidCombo.htm

The above experiment proves beyond a doubt that standing waves of electrons can be produced. I'll be glad to discuss the experiment here if you have further questions.

Please paste in news letter a few times a week for a few months if possible

Folks,

Dr. Rebecca Carley is one of the most dedicated, respected, and upright women I know. She has been a guest lecturer at international conferences on the subject of the dangers of vaccines. She is deserving of your support. She is fighting this battle for all of us. In retaliation, NYS government has come down as hard on her as they can. Anything you may be
able to do to help her will be remembered by many.

Subject: Dr Carley's medical license suspended by Medical Mafia

Please be advised that as of 7/11/03, my medical license has been suspended for a year followed by 4 years probation for "practicing medicine with a mental illness; said mental illness being the "delusion" that there is a conspiracy against me. I have been ordered to undergo "psychiatric treatment" for one year. (I will put as much of the 40 page
decision [which is 90% misinformation such as saying my son is in foster care] as I can on my website by the end of the week). They admit that no complaints have ever been filed regarding my treatment of patients. I have also been ordered to release all of the records on my patients, [so they can hunt the children down and catch them up on their vaccines].

I will now be a wholistic practitioner doing iridology and counseling patients on detoxification techniques available over the counter.

However, I will not be able to write prescriptions, order diagnostic tests, and most importantly, I will not be able to write medical exemptions. I am sure that the exemptions I have written will be deemed null and void.

20 years ago, when this was done to Dr. Revisci, his PATIENTS brought an action against the medical board for depriving them of a unique treatment available no where else. His patients won, and his license was restored.

Although I will be bringing my own artice 78 proceeding in my case, I am convinced that the fastest and most likely to succeed strategy is for the patients/supporters/potential patients to bring their own suit.

Jennifer Grinberg (516-798-7642) will be organizing this effort to restore the license of the only court qualified expert in VIDS in the country.

It is time for people to do more than "feel sorry" for me, it's time for ACTION! Since the only people I can NOT write exemptions for are my son & I, I will not be affected.
However, if nothing is done, when they come to your door and with that Smallpox/SARS or whatever vaccine and your exemption is deemed invalid, get ready to roll up your sleeve or go to the quarantine camps as per the Model State Health Emergency Powers Act (already passed in NYS).

I have given all I can; the only thing left for them to take from me is my mind (with psychiatric drugs). I await the response of those who I have served.

In Service to the TRUTH, I Remain, Dr. Rebecca
