From Gerald Goldberg, MD:

Hi Don,
Read your post. I am including this material that you may find pertinent. The nervous system can selectively respond to certain frequencies and produce chemicals and maintain balance. Ear acupuncture has been around for fifty or more years and has been used for a variety of treating many different clinical conditions. Frequently different frequencies have been noted to affect different regions of the ear. The front portion of the ear is called the tragus. It responds to a twenty hertz signal. The points in this region subserve function of the pineal, sinuses, hypothalmic regions of the brain; sympathethic and parasympathethic functioning,temperature regulation, mania, memory amongst other functions. For a partial list refer to the included document.

Frequency jamming, either by using compressed or modulated wavelengths into an appropriate range ie 20 hertz would be one explanation of the disruption at these points. Additionally the direct application of cell phones to the ear has not really been considered to be a disruptive factor. Acupuncture studies using different frequencies of stimulation have been shown to stimulate neurotransmitters. For instance frequency stimulation using a 6 hertz pulse will stimulate dopamine secretion.

Interruption of normal frequency transmission by the nervous system can result in severe disruptions. Of note with autism, as I had discussed in an earlier paper, ie “Emf and autism” was the correlation of the rise in autism with an approximately 20 hertz pulse. Additionally the rise of other clinical syndromes is easily explained by a disruption of neurologic mechanisms that share a common frequency. Note the pineal gland falls in the range of 20 hertz disruption. There was a note in the rise of white nose syndrome in bats which can be explained by a common disruption of nervous system control, reflecting a disruption of common mechanisms shared by all mammals. Also there has been a rise in hypertension, sexual dysfunction, chronic fatigue affecting the lung, adrenal dystfunction, and a plethora of other syndromes which could be explained by a similiar disruption. One can simply look at the rise in the use of certain pharmaceutical substances, ie blood pressure medication, hormonal disruption, etc to see the correlation.

Though the mechanisms that you have discussed are equally significant they do not explain the uniform global rise in illness incidence, which seems to be the concern of the emf community. The physiologic limitations of the nervous system which are integral to whole body functioning, can be disrupted selectively by emf, since the nervous system is programed to utilizing external frequencies and modulatinig them to produce balance in the body. Though other factors contribute, my inclination is to focus on the specificity of signal disruption and the symptoms that they produce. This is not to muddy the waters, but such a simple analysis will help to look at the exact nature of the disruption, ie 6, 20, 40, 80 hertz disruptions.

Not that the point be lost, but earlier investigators, ie Blackwell, Adey and others have looked at and studied the effects of selective frequency ranges. The point is that selective disruption is integral to the mechanisms of illness that one is seeing at the present time. The nervous system is committed to maintaining balance in the body and can be disrupted by the utilization of selective frequencies. This point is centeral to the discussion.

I would appreciate it if you posted or shared these comments with your readership.
Sincerly,

Gerald Goldberg, MD

Wireless Technologies Cause Harm to Children and Adults, Legislators and Journalists Are Told

Washington, D.C., June 30, 2009; Today The National Institute for Science, Law and Public Policy (“NISLAPP”) mailed a report on the health hazards of wireless technologies to Governors, Members of Congress, President Obama and his Administration, as well as to thousands of health and environmental journalists.

Legislators and journalists are being urged to learn about the health consequences of microwave radiation exposure from cell phones, neighborhood antennas, wireless net works, wireless routers, DECT portable phones, and the potential health consequences of further chronic exposures from wireless broadband and new wireless utility technologies.

The National Institute for Science, Law and Public Policy is encouraging all to become engaged with this important public health issue impacting adults and children, as well as animals and nature. Co-authored by Dr. Magda Havas, Assoc. Professor of Environmental and Resource Studies at Trent University in Canada, and Camilla Rees, Founder of www.ElectromagneticHealth.org, “Public Health SOS: The Shadow Side of the Wireless Revolution” reviews the independent science on the health hazards of wireless radiation and offers recommendations to the public on how to live more safely in a wireless world. It answers 110 questions posed by the audience at the Commonwealth Club of California, the nation’s oldest and largest public affairs forum, at an event co-organized by Wide Angle Health, LLC, Citizens for Health and the American Academy of Environmental Medicine.

Globally, public health officials and health advocacy groups are increasingly concerned about symptoms people are associating with rising levels of indoor and outdoor microwave radiation, known as ‘electrosmog’, including sometimes debilitating symptoms experienced near cell phone towers (http://sn.im/kt6pe). In addition, they are troubled by the impact this radiation may be having on children, who are more vulnerable. Schools increasingly….. SNIP. For full article go to:

Brain Tumor Brings Court Victory for a Cell Phone User…
Author: Paul Fitzgerald

Sharesa Price thought it was just another in a series of sinus infections. Her head and eyes hurt, and she was vomiting. But then Price had a seizure, and a brain scan found something far more troubling. “When I got home, the phone was ringing.

It was the doctor’s office, and they told me, `Brace yourself. Honey, you have a brain tumor.’ I was standing by the refrigerator, and I just collapsed, saying, `no, no, no, it can’t be a brain tumor,’” she recalled.

After her diagnosis in 1999 and surgery to remove most of the tumor, Price started looking for answers. She became convinced that exposure to radio-frequency radiation on the job, where she programmed cell phones for new customers, had caused the tumor.

In May, an administrative law judge who handles worker’s compensation claims awarded her $30,000 to pay her medical bills and other expenses. Price may be the first person to convince a judge that her illness was caused by radio-frequency radiation.

The decision is unlikely to have widespread repercussions for the cell phone industry, however, because the settlement was small. Price’s customers at Advanced Communications Systems in northern California were doctors, firefighters, police departments and security departments for casinos, and she loved her work. She used a cell phone several hours each day, and the room in which she worked contained transmitters that emitted radio-frequency radiation, she said. Price said when she filed a workers comp claim, her boss fired her, eliminating her health insurance. Then she lost the case.

The Native American single mother of two daughters was devastated. She turned to Tribal Health, a government health agency for Native Americans, to get anti-seizure medication. “If I hadn’t been Indian, I would have died,” she said. Her former boss, Dave Bohlen, said that he did not fire Price, that she quit based on her doctor’s advice that she not return to work there.

Bohlen said he dropped the insurance because she was no longer an employee. He called her worker’s comp case “frivolous” and said there was no proof her tumor was caused by working in his small shop. “There’s nothing harmful going on here,” he said. After Price recovered from brain surgery, she went to the Internet and found researchers studying the biological effects of radio-frequency radiation, and got to know them. “I would call them up and say, `You are absolutely dead on.

If a rat could talk, this is what it would say. I’m the human rat.’ “Price couldn’t find an attorney to take her case until she contacted Carl Hilliard, a semi-retired lawyer and president of the Wireless Consumers Alliance, a California-based consumer-advocacy group. Hilliard volunteered to represent her pro bono and re-filed her workers comp case.

Hilliard said his group has represented cell phone users in issues involving poor service, billing problems and misrepresentations by cell phone service providers.”We’re the ones who filed a case saying federal law does not pre-empt state law [on consumer issues] and won that case four years ago,” Hilliard said. Hilliard brought in Dr. Nachman Brautbar, an occupational toxicologist and clinical professor of medicine at the University of Southern California School of Medicine, to review Price’s medical records. Brautbar has been an expert witness in a number of high-profile cases, including the chromium poisonings from polluted drinking water portrayed in the movie Erin Brockovich.

Brautbar reviewed Price’s case and wrote a report supporting her claim that the tumor was caused by exposure to radio-frequency radiation.”It’s not a money issue, suing the company, it’s a health and safety issue,” said Price, who speaks to school assemblies and classes about the need to use a headset when talking on a cell phone. “We need to explain to people that just like putting on condoms, you have to take this precautionary measure to make the product be as safe as it can be.”

I have posted this full story because it is a good example of the ignorance of our leaders. What we cannot see, hear, feel or touch is easily dismissed by the population and if it is making the rich, richer even better.

Cracking the Autism Riddle: Toxic Chemicals, A Serious Suspect in the Autism Outbreak
Harvey Karp

America’s most read pediatrician, assistant professor of pediatrics, UCLA.

Over the past 30 years, toxic chemicals, like Teflon, plastics, and formaldehyde have increasingly invaded our homes. We used to think these substances were harmless, but a rising tide of evidence has turned the spotlight on chemical exposures as a possible poison to our children’s developing brains.

One group of substances of particular concern is a ubiquitous family of hormone twisting compounds, known as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). These substances are the focus of intense scrutiny because: 1) they’re found in every home in America 2) they’re increasingly linked to human disease 3) our exposure to them has risen in parallel with the surge in autism diagnoses and 4) they may theoretically affect the developing fetal brain.

In recent years, research has mounted against a virtual police lineup of EDCs, like BPA (in food cans, hard plastic water bottles), phthlates (in soft plastics, cosmetics) and fire retardants (in sofas, computers, flame-resistant clothing). Multiple animal and human studies have linked EDC exposure (during or after fetal development) with a host of hormone-related disorders, like low sperm count, cancer (breast, ovarian, prostate, testicular), congenital malformation of the genitals and even obesity.

In 1996, pediatricians and other concerned scientists convinced Congress to order the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to test hundreds of chemicals for endocrine disrupting effects. The Clinton administration began the process of designing these tests, but the Bush administration defied the law. It ignored this mandate to protect the public health…and organized medicine watched impotently from the sidelines. Today, ten years and tens of millions of dollars later, not a single chemical has been evaluated for endocrine disrupting effects!

Our exposure to EDCs is no mere theoretical concern. In 2000, a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) study found detectable phthalates in 99.9% of adults including women of childbearing age. The CDC also discovered detectable levels of BPA in 93% of thousands of Americans tested (6 years of age and older).

The presence of EDCs in women of child-bearing age is especially worrisome. That is because there is evidence that even minuscule amounts of these chemicals — levels commonly present in a woman’s body — may disturb fetal brain development during highly sensitive periods of neural development known as windows of vulnerability.
