That's also why I try so hard to get the discussion in the Netherlands to the heart of the matter: the bio-eletrical system, very subtile and extremely complex, that is the biological basis of what we call "life", not only in humans but also in animals and plants. Influencing that life system with EMF gest to and hurts the deepest basics of life itself. I strongly believe that this is the kernel of our discussions and it would be good to keep this as a central point, above any technicality. Neil Cherry called the bio-electrical theory a paradigma shift, and I think he is right. Opposed to this bio-eletrical theory there is what I call the "waterbag-theory", where a human being is seen as a (in electrical sense) bag with a waterish substance, that can only be heated bij EMF. That is the paradigma as the ICNIRP/WHO sees it. This view is very profitable, because it leads to rediculous high standards for radiation and cheap equipment (with high profit margins). And it is very wrong and basicly very unscientific as well! By the way, I find it unbelievable, that counting all the votes (as done in any proper democracy) is not the most simple and right thing to do. How on earth can any supreme court in a civilised country decide for something else? Gerrit Teule Netherlands.
