Dear Roy,
I must say that Victor help me a lot. I don't know what is going on but
I thought that you should know it. I wanna say thanks for all list
members because your experiences are being so much important to me. As
Colombia, here in Brazil we don't have any information about EMF health
risks. All brazilian people are in a "cone of silence" when we talk
about this issue. Media is completely out of this issue. They are being
manipulated by the "Tele-Giants". That's is not new! Here in Valinhos we
have a group concerned about ecological issues. We are now begging to
fight against EMF polution too, trying to open people eyes, but they are
so much manipulated by media, speccially TV. But we are only begging...
Thank you list friends! Thank you very much!
Best,
Alexandre.
