......I believe we have had previous reports (suspicions) about
arthritis (as well as lupus) in high level EMF environments.....
Anecdotal of course -- which is all we are going to get until
SOMEBODY (our RICH health bureaucracy) does the research......

Dear Roy

The following is from a person who recently contacted me by phone and
E-mail. From our conversations it seems that his EMF exposure at work may
play a role in his health condition. Have you know of any research that
indicates that EMF exposure may be connected with  Arthritis?

Regards

Don Maisch
