.......Can someone get this to Jerry Hall......??
It is good to see that the researchers are moving into the realm of
experimentation involving human subjects!! For those who say that
"more research is needed", guru says: Absolutely - more research is
needed..... But don't let that become an excuse to 'lock-in' some
kind of a five-year plan (like the RAPID fiasco) which would postpone
the inauguration of defensive measures needed NOW.....!!!
Actually, the record seems to show that research is picking up - in spite
of the lack of government funding..... True (PUBLIC health motivated)
science ALWAYS does better without being "owned" by government funding,
anyway..... When it is "owned" by the government (observe the recent
Pentagon case at PAVE PAWS) ... it loses sight of its DUTY to serve the
PUBLIC ... rather than the $$$$$$$ infested 'patronage' interests ...
or the government's OWN interest.......!!!!!
If government funded programs are needed, they should be established
under the management of a "citizens-commission" rather than "turned over"
to America's RICH - industry infested (conflict of interest) -
bureaucracies.....
The last thing the EMF saga needs at this time is another EMF RAPID
program......!!! Rather than that - better we leave it up to the
science "market" which is "out there" ... and "smells" opportunity on
this issue.....
A good example below......
Cheerio....

Cellular Phone EMFs Raise Blood Pressure
(new medical study excerpt found in Our Toxic Times, March 2000, p. 9. and
published by researchers in the British Medical Journal Lancet 351:
1857-1858, 1998)
The use of cellular phones continues to increase dramatically, prompting
some concerns about possible health-effects.
A single-blind placebo-controlled study conducted on seven healthy men
and three women volunteers aged between 26 and 36 years continuously
measured blood pressure, heart rate, capillary perfusion, as well as
subjective well-being in relation to mobile telephone electromagnetic
fields (EMFs) (GSM 900 MHz, 2 watt, 217 Hz frame repetition rate).
The study subjects were unaware of when they were being exposed because
the telephone was fixed in a typical position on the right-hand side of
the head and operated by remote control with no sound.
The exposure protocol involved phases with placebo and with EMF exposure
of 35 minutes each with a fixed sequence to allow for effects that might
persist after exposure.
The researchers found that even though the people subjectively noticed no
differences in well-being, their resting blood pressure increased during
exposure to the EMF: "We conclude that exposure of the right hemisphere
to a radiofrequency EMF for 35 minutes causes an increase in sympathetic
efferent activity with increases in resting blood pressure between 5 and
10 mm Hg, most likely due to more pronounced vasoconstriction."
[Braune, S., et al. "Resting Blood Pressure Increase During Exposure to
Radio-Frequency Electromagnetic Field," Lancet 351: 1857-1858, 1998.]
