Abstract
A health survey was carried out in Murcia, Spain, in the vicinity of a Cellular Phone Base Station working in DCS-1800 MHz. This survey contained health items related to “microwave sickness” or “RF syndrome.” The microwave power density was measured at the respondents' homes. Statistical analysis showed significant correlation between the declared severity of the symptoms and the measured power density. The separation of respondents into two different exposure groups also showed an increase of the declared severity in the group with the higher exposure.

Introduction
The hypothesis that radiofrequency (RF) exposure might produce health damage has been analyzed mainly from several epidemiological studies. Insomnia, cancer, leukemia in children, and brain tumors are the clinical entities more frequently described (Dolk et al., 1997; Hocking et al., 1996; Maskarinec et al., 1994; Minder and Pfluger, 2001; Selvin et al., 1992). Moreover, the clinical consequences of being exposed to microwave radiation such as radar has been evaluated from military and occupational studies (Balode, 1996; Garaj-Vrhovac, 1999; Goldsmith, 1997; Johnson-Liakouris, 1998; Robinette et al., 1980).
A specific symptomatology, linked to radar exposure at low levels of RF, has been termed “microwave sickness” or “RF syndrome.” (Johnson-Liakouris, 1998) With few exceptions, functional disturbances of the central nervous system have been typically described as a kind of radiowave sickness, neurasthenic or asthenic syndrome. Symptoms and signs include headache, fatigue, irritability, loss of appetite, sleepiness, difficulties in concentration or memory, depression, and emotional instability. This clinical syndrome is generally reversible if RF exposure is discontinued.
Another frequently described manifestation is a set of labile functional cardiovascular changes including bradycardia, arterial hypertension, or hypotension (Johnson-Liakouris, 1998). This form of neurocirculatory asthenia is also attributed to nervous system influence. More serious but less frequent neurologic or neuropsychiatric disturbances have occasionally been described as a diencephalic syndrome (Johnson-Liakouris, 1998). All these disturbances following low level exposures (of the order of microwatts/cm2) have been reported for many years from Eastern Europe. The exposures have been mainly low level and long term (Goldsmith, 1997; Johnson-Liakouris, 1998).
Also, several articles have found biological dysfunction at very low density of radiation without temperature elevation, favoring the hypothesis of nonthermal biological effects and pointing to the probability of clinical dysfunction below the actual standard of safety norms in the European Union (Arber and Lin, 1985; Baranski, 1972; Byus et al., 1988; Daniells et al., 1998; de Pomerai et al., 2000; D'Inzeo et al., 1988; Dutta et al., 1989; Kues et al., 1992; Lai and Singh, 1995-1997; Lai et al., 1984, 1989; Malyapa et al., 1998; Sanders et al., 1985; Sarkar et al., 1994; Stagg et al., 1997; Wachtel et al., 1975.
Low levels of RF are found around the GSM-DCS cellular phone Base Stations (BS), where antennas are usually located on the roofs or in the top of tall towers. GSM-DCS cellular phones use pulsed microwaves. These signals have a spectral similarity to radar signals. The spectral power distribution of pulsed signals includes low frequency harmonics. Typical pulse duration time ranges from 100 msec to 0.050 µsec in radar, and 576.9 µsec for each slot of GSM-DCS.
From this point of view, the hypothesis of a “microwave sickness” in the neighborhood of the GSM-DCS Base Stations is analyzed in this study. The present analysis tries to evaluate if there is some statistical justification to the complaints and related dysfunction locally associated with RF exposure from the GSM-DCS Base Stations, as has been found in previous studies (Santini et al., 2001, 2002a&b).

Federal, State Buildings Under Military, Army Satellite Surveillance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its Monday morning you have and appointment that requires you to enter a post office, court house for jury duty, federal or state job are you fully aware of the surveillance you may encounter upon arrival at the federal, state facility?
Satellite surveillance compliments of the military, Army now observe the entries to the governmental, state facilities in attempts to control terrorism. The intelligent individual may devise logic with and explanation of weapons detection however there is yet more of interest to the devised explanation "Thought, mind detection" they wish to know what you are "thinking" or perhaps "planning" as you enter the facility. Its imperative that the reader retain the realization that this is a form of deplorable "personal intrusion" on the person, The technology is described in a more in-depth manner below. Importantly its the concern of many that the technology is inappropriately in use when three young females were stalked, manipulated in the most disgusting manner after routinely frequenting a governmental office. The inappropriate use of the technology is isolated however it's the presented question how many incidents should be allowed with the most deplorable level of violation, intrusion. Even state employees, documented by the immediate below testimony, are not immune from the disgusting military electronic "intrusion".
In example scenario, David, military personel, a frequency administrator of the satellite electronic transmission in a miserable existence of a life while in a room full of Army personel monitoring facilities observes a Senate intern who he has taken a personal interest in stroll through the transmission, immediately the transmission targets the young female intern and follows her through the building and will periodically observe her throughout the day performing tasks even to include personal task within the governmental lavatory of the governmental facility. Should the military maintain the ability to observe even the most personal events of governmental employees?

President Bush Undermines Clean Air Act with New Source Review Decision
------------------------------------------------------------------------
President Bush's final New Source Review (NSR) rule will harm the environment, despite what he claimed in his speech Monday at a Detroit Edison Monroe Power Plant in Michigan. The site of the speech was chosen as a model plant that would benefit from the new NSR rule; however, the rule would enable the Monroe plant to dump at least 30,000 more tons of sulfur dioxide emissions each year [1].
The Monroe plant is the eighth largest emitter of sulfur dioxide in the country [2]. President Bush talked at length about a 1999 request Detroit Edison submitted to the EPA debating whether its planned upgrade would constitute a major modification that would require it to improve its pollution control devices.
The President tried to argue that the EPA's decision was too "complicated" to implement quickly,"[3] but the EPA's response letter clearly gave the company the go ahead and in fact encouraged it to begin its upgrade project: "Detroit Edison has been free to proceed at any time with the Dense Pack project without first obtaining a PSD permit as long as it adheres to its stated intention to not increase emissions as a result of the project.
Indeed, EPA encourages the company to proceed with the project on this basis, since it appears to both reduce emissions per unit of output and not increase actual air pollution."[4]
The outcome for the Monroe plant under Bush's new NSR rule means that it can increase emissions by more than 30,000 tons a year, a 56 percent increase over current levels.[5] And in Michigan, where as many as 22 counties may have air too dirty to consistently meet new federal clean air standards, state environmental officials are concerned about overall air quality. "The challenge we are facing is new ozone (smog) regulations, and counties that will be designated as being in nonattainment," said Patricia Spitzley, spokeswoman for the Department of Environmental Quality. "That's a huge issue."[6]

New Source Review Background: The Administration's final NSR rule changed the requirement that facilities upgrade pollution controls when they replace equipment if the upgrade increases pollution. The new rule exempts factories and power plants from upgrading their pollution controls if the cost of modification is less than 20 percent of the plant's total cost, regardless of its impact on emissions.

Transgenic Trees Spread Mercury Poisoning
------------------------------------------
Is moving mercury from place to place really remediation? Prof. Joe Cummins asks.
Recently, researchers tested trees genetically modified to remove ionic mercury from contaminated soil, then convert that to volatile elemental mercury, which is released to the atmosphere. The researchers seem to believe that the atmospheric mercury will be relatively harmless. The field tests were undertaken in Danbury Connecticut and supported by the United States Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and other interested parties [1]. Danbury is the home of mercury-polluted sites originating from hat- making. Mercury caused
mercury poisoning in workers, who get the "Danbury shakes". The mercury "remediation" project will, however, simply move the pollution to the atmosphere, from which it will be redeposited over the cities of the Northeast and the lakes and waterways of northern USA and Canada. Once deposited in the waterways and streets of cities, elemental mercury will be converted by microbes into organic mercury that will cause nerve damage and birth defects in humans and animals alike.
Last year, I pointed out the dangers of this form of remediation for the cities and waters of the United States and Canada [2]. But my comments were completely ignored by the EPA bureaucrats and the biotechnology industry.
Worldwide, human activities resulting in emission of mercury is estimated to be some 1900 tonnes, about three quarters from burning fossil fuels, particularly coal. Waste disposal sites, cement manufacture and waste incinerators made up the bulk of the remainder. Asian countries contribute over half of the emission while Europe and North America contribute less than a quarter. Gaseous elemental mercury makes up over half of the emitted mercury, while divalent mercury and particulate mercury make up the rest [3]. The emitted mercury tends to be deposited from the atmosphere in snow and rainfall, posing serious threat to humans and animals because elemental mercury is converted to ionic and organic mercury after ending up in the Arctic, in Canada and Northeastern American cities [2,4]. If phytoremediation of mercury-polluted sites were undertaken on a large scale in North America, the global emission of mercury could double in less than a decade.
The mercury phytoremediation scheme is based on introducing a bacterial gene merA into the genome of plants. For efficient genetic activity in plants, a synthetic merA gene with altered DNA sequence is used to modify plants [5-7]. Mercury-resistant microbes are also promoted as an efficient and inexpensive treatment for mercury-polluted water [8]. But the anticipated widespread application of such technology has not considered the consequence of atmospheric-pollution from mercury remediation.
In conclusion, mercury remediation using phytoremediation and bacterial remediation, both cause atmospheric release of elemental mercury, and is being promoted by technologists and government regulators. Such "remediation" is no remediation at all, it is just moving the problem from one place to another! In fact, it is moving mercury from contained contaminated sites to the streets of cities and the bodies of water that give us fish and drinking water.

Bush Administration Miscalculation in Iraq Leads to Calls for Accountability
President Bush's administration has consistently miscalculated the post-war commitment required and Iraqi resistance to the point where a growing number of members of Congress who voted for the Iraq war resolution are now calling for accountability at high levels.
Both Vice President Cheney and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz argued publicly before the war that American forces would be greeted as liberators,1 including Wolfowitz's assertion less than two weeks before the war began that, "Like the people of France in the 1940s, [the Iraqi people] view us as their hoped-for liberators."2
The consistently rosy scenarios articulated by Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz and the administration about much of the war in Iraq, from the required troop strength3 to the length of stay4 ignored potential results manifesting themselves today in the form of additional funding requests beyond original estimates, extended troop deployments, and skeptical allies from whom the U.S. is now seeking assistance to stabilize and rebuild the country.5
The intelligence community, including that of the Pentagon, concluded last fall that "there would be resistance . . . They [Defense Intelligence Agency analysts] said it would be hard to keep the lid on and to keep the various areas of the country from falling apart."6
While the administration insists that acts of violence and terrorism against American forces in Iraq are at the hands of a select few of "dead-enders, foreign terrorists and criminal gangs," some defense officials are also now claiming "it was a mistake for the administration to discount the role of ordinary Iraqis".7
With the recent announcement that called-up reserves will be required to serve an extra tour of duty, senior Army officials are publicly saying that "the Army is strained and stressed."8 Rep. John Murtha, a member who voted for the war resolution, said, "Poor planning by Administration put American lives at risk . . .The architect of this post-war plan has to go."9

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 counselling 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

Federal, State Buildings Under Military, Army Satellite Surveillance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its Monday morning you have and appointment that requires you to enter a post office, court house for jury duty, federal or state job are you fully aware of the surveillance you may encounter upon arrival at the federal, state facility?
Satellite surveillance compliments of the military, Army now observe the entries to the governmental, state facilities in attempts to control terrorism. The intelligent individual may devise logic with and explanation of weapons detection however there is yet more of interest to the devised explanation "Thought, mind detection" they wish to know what you are "thinking" or perhaps "planning" as you enter the facility. Its imperative that the reader retain the realization that this is a form of deplorable "personal intrusion" on the person, The technology is described in a more in-depth manner below. Importantly its the concern of many that the technology is inappropriately in use when three young females were stalked, manipulated in the most disgusting manner after routinely frequenting a governmental office. The inappropriate use of the technology is isolated however it's the presented question how many incidents should be allowed with the most deplorable level of violation, intrusion. Even state employees, documented by the immediate below testimony, are not immune from the disgusting military electronic "intrusion".
In example scenario, David, military personel, a frequency administrator of the satellite electronic transmission in a miserable existence of a life while in a room full of Army personel monitoring facilities observes a Senate intern who he has taken a personal interest in stroll through the transmission, immediately the transmission targets the young female intern and follows her through the building and will periodically observe her throughout the day performing tasks even to include personal task within the governmental lavatory of the governmental facility. Should the military maintain the ability to observe even the most personal events of governmental employees?

President Bush Undermines Clean Air Act with New Source Review Decision
------------------------------------------------------------------------
President Bush's final New Source Review (NSR) rule will harm the environment, despite what he claimed in his speech Monday at a Detroit Edison Monroe Power Plant in Michigan. The site of the speech was chosen as a model plant that would benefit from the new NSR rule; however, the rule would enable the Monroe plant to dump at least 30,000 more tons of sulfur dioxide emissions each year [1].
The Monroe plant is the eighth largest emitter of sulfur dioxide in the country [2]. President Bush talked at length about a 1999 request Detroit Edison submitted to the EPA debating whether its planned upgrade would constitute a major modification that would require it to improve its pollution control devices.
The President tried to argue that the EPA's decision was too "complicated" to implement quickly,"[3] but the EPA's response letter clearly gave the company the go ahead and in fact encouraged it to begin its upgrade project: "Detroit Edison has been free to proceed at any time with the Dense Pack project without first obtaining a PSD permit as long as it adheres to its stated intention to not increase emissions as a result of the project.
Indeed, EPA encourages the company to proceed with the project on this basis, since it appears to both reduce emissions per unit of output and not increase actual air pollution."[4]
The outcome for the Monroe plant under Bush's new NSR rule means that it can increase emissions by more than 30,000 tons a year, a 56 percent increase over current levels.[5] And in Michigan, where as many as 22 counties may have air too dirty to consistently meet new federal clean air standards, state environmental officials are concerned about overall air quality. "The challenge we are facing is new ozone (smog) regulations, and counties that will be designated as being in nonattainment," said Patricia Spitzley, spokeswoman for the Department of Environmental Quality. "That's a huge issue."[6]

Transgenic Trees Spread Mercury Poisoning
------------------------------------------
Is moving mercury from place to place really remediation? Prof. Joe Cummins asks.
Recently, researchers tested trees genetically modified to remove ionic mercury from contaminated soil, then convert that to volatile elemental mercury, which is released to the atmosphere. The researchers seem to believe that the atmospheric mercury will be relatively harmless. The field tests were undertaken in Danbury Connecticut and supported by the United States Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and other interested parties [1]. Danbury is the home of mercury-polluted sites originating from hat- making. Mercury caused
mercury poisoning in workers, who get the "Danbury shakes". The mercury "remediation" project will, however, simply move the pollution to the atmosphere, from which it will be redeposited over the cities of the Northeast and the lakes and waterways of northern USA and Canada. Once deposited in the waterways and streets of cities, elemental mercury will be converted by microbes into organic mercury that will cause nerve damage and birth defects in humans and animals alike.
Last year, I pointed out the dangers of this form of remediation for the cities and waters of the United States and Canada [2]. But my comments were completely ignored by the EPA bureaucrats and the biotechnology industry.
Worldwide, human activities resulting in emission of mercury is estimated to be some 1900 tonnes, about three quarters from burning fossil fuels, particularly coal. Waste disposal sites, cement manufacture and waste incinerators made up the bulk of the remainder. Asian countries contribute over half of the emission while Europe and North America contribute less than a quarter. Gaseous elemental mercury makes up over half of the emitted mercury, while divalent mercury and particulate mercury make up the rest [3]. The emitted mercury tends to be deposited from the atmosphere in snow and rainfall, posing serious threat to humans and animals because elemental mercury is converted to ionic and organic mercury after ending up in the Arctic, in Canada and Northeastern American cities [2,4]. If phytoremediation of mercury-polluted sites were undertaken on a large scale in North America, the global emission of mercury could double in less than a decade.
The mercury phytoremediation scheme is based on introducing a bacterial gene merA into the genome of plants. For efficient genetic activity in plants, a synthetic merA gene with altered DNA sequence is used to modify plants [5-7]. Mercury-resistant microbes are also promoted as an efficient and inexpensive treatment for mercury-polluted water [8]. But the anticipated widespread application of such technology has not considered the consequence of atmospheric-pollution from mercury remediation.
In conclusion, mercury remediation using phytoremediation and bacterial remediation, both cause atmospheric release of elemental mercury, and is being promoted by technologists and government regulators. Such "remediation" is no remediation at all, it is just moving the problem from one place to another! In fact, it is moving mercury from contained contaminated sites to the streets of cities and the bodies of water that give us fish and drinking water.

Bush Administration Miscalculation in Iraq Leads to Calls for Accountability
President Bush's administration has consistently miscalculated the post-war commitment required and Iraqi resistance to the point where a growing number of members of Congress who voted for the Iraq war resolution are now calling for accountability at high levels.
Both Vice President Cheney and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz argued publicly before the war that American forces would be greeted as liberators,1 including Wolfowitz's assertion less than two weeks before the war began that, "Like the people of France in the 1940s, [the Iraqi people] view us as their hoped-for liberators."2
The consistently rosy scenarios articulated by Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz and the administration about much of the war in Iraq, from the required troop strength3 to the length of stay4 ignored potential results manifesting themselves today in the form of additional funding requests beyond original estimates, extended troop deployments, and skeptical allies from whom the U.S. is now seeking assistance to stabilize and rebuild the country.5
The intelligence community, including that of the Pentagon, concluded last fall that "there would be resistance . . . They [Defense Intelligence Agency analysts] said it would be hard to keep the lid on and to keep the various areas of the country from falling apart."6
While the administration insists that acts of violence and terrorism against American forces in Iraq are at the hands of a select few of "dead-enders, foreign terrorists and criminal gangs," some defense officials are also now claiming "it was a mistake for the administration to discount the role of ordinary Iraqis".7
With the recent announcement that called-up reserves will be required to serve an extra tour of duty, senior Army officials are publicly saying that "the Army is strained and stressed."8 Rep. John Murtha, a member who voted for the war resolution, said, "Poor planning by Administration put American lives at risk . . .The architect of this post-war plan has to go."9

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 counselling 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
