.......Response from EMF-L......

Dr. Neil Cherry is certainly right in what he says below.  I am
very familiar with the melatonin (immune system) effects from EMF.
There is much about that in the pages of my website.

But, it seems to me that we are theorizing on that ... from a 
(minimally observable) bioeffect to a "plausible" consequence.  At
this time, we do not have much in the way of ACTUAL epidemiological
(or other) useable evidence to support a causal/promotional
connection between EMF and asthma or diabetes......????  

By the same process, we could "plausibly" explain virtually ANY 
illness which is likely the result of a weakened (or altered) 
immune system??......  Could we not????......guru.......

Dear Roy,

EMR/EMF reduces melatonin and alters the calcium ion signalling of cells in 
the brain, heart and immune system, etc. Reduced melatonin impairs the 
immune system made worse by calcium ion changes and the fine particles, 
pollens etc attracted to the static fields around VDUs. This is a possible 
connection for Catherine and her fellow workers for short term problems. 
Chronic problems are multitudinal.

Regards
Neil

...........Serious question from EMF-L.......

I hope many of you who have had similar experience (or nearly so)
will respond.....  Though, for my part, I am not convinced about asthma
or diabetes.....  Though I realize that some readers may
be........guru.....
(Asthma has SOMANY potential causes......)

Dear Roy,   I work in 911 communications center and am growing more and
more
concerned about the ill-effects emf may be having on me and my
coworkers.
Let me fill you inon what has transpired over the last year.  My
co-worker
started having astma attacks while on duty and her job is now in
jeopardy.
It all started last august. she started getting short of breath and
eventually that  night the paramedics were called-well this started to
occur
regularly and just while she was inthe 911 center.  I raised the issue
of
mold in the center. management had the carpet cleaned and ducts cleaned.
The
minute she walks in the building her voice goes up about 10octaves and
she is
hard to understand. Then the shortness of breath and most of the time
they
end up calling the paramedics and if shes bad enough a trip to the
hospital.
Management says they have done what is reasonable to help her situation
and
they take no responsibility.  Now because she is a risk on the radio she
may
lose her job.  I then brought up the fact that maybe we are being
overexposed
to emf.  our center is not that big and there are 8 computers(we sit in
front
of 3) not to mention all the other technology overload. our new police
dept
is in the process of being built so management along with the village
are
reluctant to spend any money because we will be vacating the building
this
summer.  I don't want to end up like my co worker.  We recently had
somebody
quit because she too was having severe asthma and breathing problems
while in
the building.  I ask managemnet to get an emf reading and they say "no
but we
will get you a tin foil hat."  Nice!  Please if you can get me any info
at
all or guide me-i'm really mad and think my concern is real.  Thanks-if
I
hope you understand my dilema.  thank you so much for being out there.
                                                             Catherine
