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

More evidence of a connection (maybe) between EMF and asthma....
Again, it seems to me that there is **hint** of the Denis Henshaw
aerosol effect at work here, too......guru....

Hi, Roy,

This is what I've read on the connection between EMF and asthma.

Damaged human mast cells from radiation may lead to asthma. Dr. Peter French has
conducted experiments on human mast
cells in culture that may explain the recent dramatic increase in asthma
sufferers.  Human mast cells, found in the
subcutaneous tissue, mediate inflammatory responses to antigens like dust,
pollen and other substances by producing
histamine.  Elevated histamine levels can constrict the bronchial tube among
other effects.  Under normal conditions,
when the antigen is removed the histamine production stops.  But when the mast
cells are irradiated with weak cellular
phone frequencies, their activity is permanently altered.  An antigen then
triggers histamine production at almost
double the normal level and this continues for a much longer time after
withdrawal of the antigen.  Dr. John A.G. Holt
has stated that “this would appear to me to be the explanation of the 40% rise
in asthma with a 5% rise in asthma death
rates in the last few years.” - Dr. John A.G. Holt, Powerwatch Technical
Supplement no. 2, May 1996, p. 3, Website:


Correlation seen between higher asthma numbers and radiation sources in NYC.
Arthur Firstenberg, author of Microwaving
Our Planet, has looked at asthma occurrence in NYC and seen a pattern closely
matching areas of the city where one would
suspect higher radiation levels.  Looking at a February 22nd, 1998 Daily News
map of asthma rates in the city, and the
table of asthma hospitalizations by neighborhood, Firstenberg observed that,
“some of the highest rates of
asthma...cluster around the city’s two airports, La Guardia and Kennedy.  Hunts
Point, Mott Haven, and East Harlem,
which have the very highest rates in the city, are indeed centers of poverty,
but they are also directly across the East
River from La Guardia, under the flight path of landing airplanes, and are
therefore constantly bathed in airport radar.
  The neighborhoods under the flight path of Kennedy Airport--including Broad
Channel and Far Rockaway--also have very
high asthma rates, and they are not poor neighborhoods....  It is remarkable
that the asthma rate in the Rockaways
becomes progressively less with distance from Kennedy Airport.” - Arthur
Firstenberg, No Place to Hide, Volume 2, Number
1, February 1999, pp. 9-10.
