Subject: Re: Early recognition of EMF bioeffects.......
Hi everybody:
I would like toappologize to all of those people who are claiming early
contributions in proving that EMF may cause biological response. It is
true that Carl Blackman is one of the pioneers in this area. He was a
co-founder of BEMS (BIoelectromagnetcs Society) exactly 20 years ago and
he has publushed papers in late 70's on this matter. BEMS has now more
than 700 members who are dealing with those investigations.
Number of scientists in Europe, Asia, Australia and America work and
publish in this area. For example, my first publication (now I have more
than 100) came in 1972. This is only clarification: please, do not
figth for priority. Let's the work goes.
Dr. Marko Markov
[......Thanks, Dr. Markov!......Does anybody else wonder -- as I do --
HOW it has been possible for the industry and government(S) to "get
away" with their self-serving denials of (1) reality of bioeffects
at environmental levels of exposure, and (2) avoidance of HONEST
judgment that "probably" at least SOME of those effects are HARMFUL
to human health, including leukemia and cancer -- given the consistency of
epidemiological findings????......The answer to that question goes to the
"prostitution" of science I have been talking about......guru.......]
[.....Yes, the "O.R.s" (odds ratios) of the epidemiological findings
have been consistently low. The answer to that is the "Ugly Secret"
which science has hidden from the public......Read that essay on guru's
web-page......guru.......]
