Hi everybody:

In light of the need for good current information about possible
RF health hazards ... and the denial by one high level British
"scientist" that any research has been done on that subject (Clark,
in earlier message) ... I have decided to forward the following ...
which I was "sitting on" to await some kind of confirmation.....

PLEASE TAKE CAREFUL NOTE:

(1)  As I read the following -- it is not saying that "science" has
found an increase in PCS (RF) related deaths.....  It is saying that
the AUTHOR of the book (Firstenberg) reads the data such that HE sees in
the data an increase in deaths.....

(2)  Others who read this note and who have access to the book -- MUST
read the book carefully to see what (if anything) is really there ...
before the following can be accepted at its face value....

(3)  Since the book was published in 1998, it is possible that others
(the Center for Disease Control???) have already looked at this claim
and found that it does not stand up to "peer" review....  We should
seek out any other such "second opinions."

(4)  But, finally, if it is true (or nearly so) ... it is the kind of
information that we may have to start relying on to fully understand
all of Mother Nature's EMF secrets!!  Why?  Because of the ubiquitous
nature of EMF in our environment!!  The traditional epidemiological
method of trying to isolate one source and one "unexposed" control
group for the calculation of our risk factors MAY NEVER WORK WELL in
the EMF scenario.....  The Blue World is such that a new methodology
... approaching that which we see (a hint of) below ... may be the
ONLY way we can NOW discover the extent of electromagnetic effects
upon mankind.....  It just may be that -- because EMF is everywhere --
we have already passed that point where the traditional "isolated"
comparisons can be made.....

In any case -- let us look WITH SKEPTICISM upon the following ...
until we have more confirmation......

Cheerio.....Yours ... in our "Blue World".....
