Subject: RE EMF overexposure (Catherine)(Cherry). Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2001 144157 -0600 From: Roy BeaversTo: guru -------------------------------------------------- .......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....... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: EMF overexposure (Catherine).

This is a possible connection for Catherine and her fellow workers for short term problems. Chronic problems are multitudinal.

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.
