Did you know all wireless devices emit microwave radiation?
Did you know that it is now mandatory that every child attending school will be exposed all day to microwave radiation from wifi and all the other wireless devices?
Did you know BC School Health Officer, Dr. Stanwick, has endorsed the installation of microwave radiation a known 2b carcinogen listed next to lead, DDT, methyl mercury, chloroform, and car exhaust as an acceptable risk in our schools?
Did you know School Districts have refused to educate students, parents and staff on how to avoid excessive RFR exposure when handling wireless devices during class time as outlined in the user manuals?
Did you know the federally mandated safety manual that comes with all cell phones says to keep these devices up to an inch away from the body at all times?
Did you know children attending school are pressing these cell phones against their heads, holding them against their reproductive organs and other vital organs, and storing them in their pockets when we know these devices are emitting up to 11 times over the current guidelines?
Did you know recent studies have proven that 90% of cell phones on the market today exceed the Safety Code 6 guidelines for radiation exposure (SAR at 1.6 W/kg at 5mm) when the phones are tested as they are used in real life?
Did you know the federally mandated safety manual that comes with all chromebooks and laptops says to keep them at least 8 inches away from the body?
Did you know that for as little as a one time cost of $500 US dollars, every classroom could be provided with 40 Ethernet ports plus adapters for their wireless devices, costing about $20 per child, a small price to pay compared to brain surgery, chemotherapy, radiation treatments etc.?
Please email jennifer.whiteside.MLA@leg.bc.ca and educ.minister@gov.bc.ca
and ask this question: What will they do to protect our children from the health risks from the long-term exposure to microwave radiation in our schools?
These expressions of risk are serious and require references to back them up. I am not sure what the comment about Dr, Stanwick is supposed to mean – the statement says that he “has endorsed the installation of microwave radiation a known 2b carcinogen listed next to lead, DDT, methyl mercury, chloroform, and car exhaust as an acceptable risk in our schools”. Something is missing in this sentence – either words are missing or punctuation is needed or both. As it is currently stated, it is at best confusing, and at worst, meaningless.
References are needed for all of the remaining statements of risk to render them credible.
I am a retired academic scientist with experience related to toxicology and regulatory matters. I also own and use a cell phone and have grandsons in school.
To protect the credibility of the Creatively United for the Planet community, these questions must be dealt with.
Barrie Webster,
Parents, teachers and students are frustrated because the BC Government, Health Officials and School Officials have willfully dismissed all credible health information presented to them from qualified experts, nationally and internationally, which emphasizes children’s heightened vulnerabilities and the need for “precautionary” measures to reduce exposure and risk from the harmful effects.
In a letter dated Nov. 19, 2014, Dr. Richard Stanwick, School Medical Officer, responded to my request to hard wired the classrooms so my grandson could attend school by stating: “Upon review of the evidence, the prevailing position in this province from experts at the federal, provincial and regional levels is that the evidence reveals that Wi-Fi exposure in schools does not pose a level of risk that is unacceptable. This position is held by the other chief medical health officers in the province, Provincial Health Officer, Ministry of Health and other federal and provincial agencies.”
In 2011 the WHO / International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer1, associated with wireless phone use.

In March 2018, the National Toxicology Program (NTP), a 10-year study on 2G and 3G technologies found “Clear Evidence” of cancer in the heart and brain from the prolonged exposure to wireless radiation from cell phones.
https://ehtrust.org/cell-phone-radiofrequency-radiation-study/
NOTE: There have been no long-term studies on 4G and 5G.
Soon after, the Ramazzini Institute also completed the world’s largest animal study on cell tower radiation and confirmed the findings of the National Toxicology Program increased risk of malignant heart tumors.
https://ehtrust.org/worlds-largest-animal-study-on-cell-tower-radiation-confirms-cancer-link/
Ronald Melnick PhD, formerly the Senior NIH toxicologist who led the design of the NTP study on cell phone radiation now a Senior Science Advisor to Environmental Health Trust (EHT) stated, “All of the exposures used in the Ramazzini study were below the US FCC limits. These are permissible exposures according the FCC. In other words, a person can legally be exposed to this level of radiation. Yet cancers occurred in these animals at these legally permitted levels. The Ramazzini findings are consistent with the NTP study demonstrating these effects are a reproducible finding.”
“The evidence indicating wireless is carcinogenic has increased and can no longer be ignored,” stated University of Toronto Dalla Lana School of Public Health Professor Emeritus Anthony B. Miller MD, Member of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of Canada and the UK, and Senior Medical Advisor to EHT who is also a long-term advisor to the World Health Organization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=bgGJeOVEdQs
Over 240 scientists, who have published peer-reviewed research on the biologic and health effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields, or EMF, signed the International EMF Scientist Appeal, which calls for stronger RF exposure limits.

Researcher Zorach Glaser, Ph.D. spent decades archiving over 4,000 studies beginning from 1961 that examine the association of certain health issues and exposure to microwave and radio frequencies.

I call upon you today to correct the untenable and unconscionable position of Health Canada that Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Radiation (RFR) is NOT a health hazard to Canadians. That position has been proven to be false. It is not based on rigorous scientific data and has been refuted by way of several hundred if not thousands by now, of double-blind, peer-reviewed, and replicated studies from world renowned scientists. Yet Health Canada officials, and the department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) including their ministers, and senior officials deny and reject all scientific evidence to the contrary.
I beg your understanding for this somewhat windy e-mail as the matters before us are highly complex, and HC has been dishonest, criminal in its actions, and totally biassed in favour of the Telecommunications Industry.
Health Canada claims that devices such as baby monitors, baby strollers and chairs fitted with iPads or tablets, Wi-Fi ear pieces, computers, laptops, blue-tooth enabled baby pacifiers, wireless cameras to monitor babies, all things Wi-Fi and wireless, GPS satellites, radar, and the list is nearly endless are to be considered safe because they say so and have published Safety Code 6, a code they claim protects all Canadians from wireless radiation.
I wish to be gin by using my own personal case as a start. I have sent e-mails to Health Canada (HC) and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) on numerous occasions asking for monitoring of the Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Radiation (RFER or RFR) that I am exposed to in my residence. To date, my requests have fallen on bureaucratic mandarins content to ignore them as is typical of HC and ISED.
I have suffered greatly from exposure to RFR by way of a Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT); what you know as the cordless or hands-free telephone, (not a cell phone), with charging base.
The DECTs use the same RFR technology as cell phones but they are not monitored nor assessed by Health Canada nor ISED. The DECTs emit continuous and powerful microwave radiation over the entire day even when the telephone is set in its cradle. More recent DECT technology now turn off or dims the microwave radiation when the telephone is in its charging base.
My neighbour installed a DECT in her bachelor apartment across from the common concrete block wall adjoining our two apartments. Unfortunately my neighbour is hostile and I cannot determine with any accuracy the installation date, and type of and model number of the DECT.
My best guess is that the hands-free telephone with charging base was installed around 2015 and was finally removed around 2020 after I informed my neighbour of the severe health effects caused by DECTs, some of which she clearly experienced.
Health symptoms I experienced were and are:
• Impact on the cardiac rhythm such as heart palpitations, constriction and arrhythmia (I could feel it when my heart skipped a beat, it was very strange and disconcerting).
• Heavy sweating while sleeping
• Headaches
• Abnormal redness of the skin
• “Electrical” tingling in my extremities
• Brain fog
• Loss of balance and on-going balance issues
• Tinnitus, a most disturbing constant hissing, clicking, or roaring noise in one or both ears; there is no cure. (Often referred to by doctors as idiopathic (emphasizing the first 4 letters but adding a “t”).
• Irritated throat
• Inability to keep warm while sleeping
• Cataracts in both eyes
• Dryness of th eyes requiring constant use of eye drops
• Blindness in one eye and deteriorating vison in my remaining eye
• Collapse of the bone structure in my right foot resulting in a Charcot foot
• Non-existent regular sleep patterns
• Disruption of all my Circadian rhythms
Symptoms and health effects reported in the scientific literature are:
• Blood-Brain barrier failure
• Extensive and minor DNA damage
• Glioma (cancer) and other forms of cancer
• Reduced human sperm mobility and destruction of women’s eggs.
• Cell destruction and/or negative impacts of the “Voltage Gated Calcium Channels” including potassium and sodium channels.
• Increased autism
• Effects on the Immune system
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Breast cancer in women and even rarer breast cancer in men.
• Reduced survival rates for children with Leukemia
• Stunted growth
• Reduced intelligence and cognitive abilities
• and the list goes on and on….
My exposure to RFR continues because, in 2010, Rogers Communications installed six cellular towers on the roof of the building where I reside. I have lived in the building since 2009, and thus I have nearly 12 years of exposure from unwanted and deadly RFR from those cell towers.
I recommend you view Dr. Joel M. Moskowitz Ph.D.: “Radio Frequency Radiation Health Risks: Implications for 5G.” for a short synopsis of the health issues. Dr. Moskowitz is the director of the Centre for Family and Community Health in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley since 1993.
I call upon you in your capacity as the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada to launch an immediate investigation of the Radiation Protection Bureau of the Department of Health Canada and in particular the Radiation Surveillance and the Radiation Health Assessment divisions of Health Canada for:
1. Failing to protect the health and safety of Canadians across the land as well as being responsible for the callous death and suffering of thousands (more likely hundreds of thousands) of Canadians by promoting their stance of “RFR safety” for all levels of the Canadian population.
The Federal Government of Canada has put in place the radiocommunication regulations SOR/96-484 by way of the Radiocommunicaitons Act and the Financial Administration Act. By those regulations the Federal Government has given itself the exclusive right to control all radiocommunications (herein after referred to as Wireless) in the land. The Provincial governments, including all other jurisdictions in the land, Municipal Governments, city councils, school directorates, the Provincial and Federal courts, and the Citizens of Canada have no legal standing whatsoever in regard to the Act and thus cannot regulate placement of cell towers, satellites, power usage, nor regulate any aspect of the radiocommunication industry. All control of wireless spectrum falls solely in the hands of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development (previously called Industry Canada).
Canadian citizens can “huff and puff” all they want, protest all they want, march on Parliament hill day and night, but they have no power whatsoever to stop the placement of any cell tower in the land; that jurisdiction is the sole and unique privy of the Minister of ISED, case closed.
Not only do Canadian Citizens have no say they also pay through the nose as the Federal Government sets all the fees it collects by Auctioning, at a time and frequency of its choosing, the Wireless Spectrum bandwidth to the highest bidders. Revenues from the first auction (1999) to 2012 was 14 billion dollars; all payable by subscribers or Canadian Citizens, another form of lucrative taxation.
Investigation of and experimentation with RFR, and living matter, has been supported by the military establishment since the early 1930s. In 1971, and known as Project No. MF51.524.015~0030, the Naval Medical Research Institute, Detachment at Naval Surface Weapons Centre published a report titled: “Bibliography of Reported Biological Phenomena (‘Effects’} and Clinical Manifestations Attributed to Microwave and Radio-frequency Radiation: Compilation and Integration of Report and Seven Supplements.” (More than 2000 references.)
Quoting directly from the report:
This report is a compilation and integration of the first seven supplements, and the alphabetical addenda (appended to the original bibliography), with the revised bibliography of April 1972.
The report is a successor to Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI, Bethesda, MD 20014) Research Report No. 2, completed under Research Work Unit MF12.524.015-0004B in October 1971, by the senior author, and available from National Technical Information Service (Springfield, VA 22151) as AD #734-391.
The original report was revised and reprinted in April 1972, and also contains the first three supplements; No. 1 dated October 1971, No. 2 dated November 1971, and No. 3 dated April 1972.
The revised report which consists of more than 2300 literature citations, is available from NTIS as AD #750-271, and includes, as the first chapter, an outline of the effects which have been attributed to radio frequency and microwave radiation.
Supplement No. 4 (containing 327 citations) was completed in June 1973, as an Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) Project Office Report, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (Navy), (Washington, DC 20372), and is available from NTIS as AD #770-621.
Supplement No. 5 (containing 497 citations) was completed in July 1974 as an EMR Project Office Report, Naval Medical R~search and Development Command (NMR&DC, Bethesda, MD 20014), and is available from NTIS as AD #784-007.
The sixth Supplement (containing 241 citations) was completed in June 1975 (also as an EMR Project Office, NMR&DC Report), and is available from NTIS as AD #A015-622.
The seventh Supplement (containing 345 citations) was completed in May 1976 as a NMRI Report, and is available from NTIS as AD #A025-354.
Supplement No. 8 (not included in this report, but containing 331 citations), was completed in August 1976 as a NMRI Report, and is available from NTIS as AD #A029-430.
27 September 1976
The above is important not only as a reference but also as a rebuttal to those claiming more research is needed and also to refute the claims that there is no clear evidence as to non-thermal effects on humans from exposure to RFR. The telecommunications industry has sought ways to input “doubt” into the equation as it is a very effective tool to counter claims of health hazards from RFR.
Here is a sample of the content of one of the many Naval Medical Research Institute reports authored by Zorach R. Glaser that lists many health effects found in their bibliography. This is essentially all denied by Health Canada officials including the Government of Canada and ISED.

* It is also reported that low levels of irradiation produce a cooling effect – “hypercompensation”. {my insertion: that effect has been particularly pronounced in my case and it bothers greatly to this day.}
End of the Naval Medical Research Institute report. However, the fundamental question to ask while reading the above health issue observations is: “can they all be wrong?” Health Canada would have us believe that the answer is yes.
2. Systematically obfuscating published, and peer reviewed scientific data demonstrating, by way of many thousands of papers clear deleterious effects on humans, plant life, and all other living organisms.
(1) a clear and immediate danger to human and non-human DNA (first shown by the Comet Assay of Dr. Henry Lai demonstrating DNA breaks),
(2) cell structure and damage (erratic control of Voltage Gated Calcium Channels as demonstrated by Dr. Martin L. Pall and others), similar effects are known for sodium and potassium channels,
(3) the development of rare brain cancers (as shown by the unprecedented and historic NIESH study begun in 1999 at a cost of USD30 million, and published in November 2018 by the National Toxicology Program; I refer you to the NTP Technical Report [NTP TR 595] on the Toxicology and Carcinogenesis Studies.
(4) as a side note I point out that the FDA and the FCC agencies deny all risks to humans from cell phones and RFR, and of course, as with Health Canada, deny the entirety of the NTP study;
(5) I also refer you to the Bioinitiative Report published by preeminent scientists and researches on the severe ill effects of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Radiation; and
(6) I also refer you to the Ramazzini Institute (RI), from Italy, that performed a life-span (birth to death) carcinogenic study on Sprague-Dawley rats – their conclusion: the RI findings on far field exposure to RFR are consistent with and reinforce the results of the NTP study on near field exposure, as both reported an increase in the incidence of tumours of the brain {cancer – my insertion} and heart in RFR-exposed Sprague-Dawley rats. These tumours are of the same histotype of those observed in some epidemiological studies on cell phone users. These experimental studies provide sufficient evidence to call for the re-evaluation of IARC conclusions regarding the carcinogenic potential of RFR in humans.;
3. You may recall that in 2011 the World Health Organization through its International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified RFR as a Group 2B – Possibly carcinogenic to humans.
The IARC failed to classify it as a cancer causing agent due to intense lobbying worldwide by the Cellular industry, infiltration of the WHO and the IARC by that same industry, and members of the IARC committee itself that were found to be favourable of that industry and in major conflict of interest by way of their industry interests. In fact one of the principal supporters of the safety of RFR is Michael Harry Repacholi who chaired a Working Group at the WHO (whom incidentally was also once chairman of the ICNIRP, which he co-founded), and whom was also in charge of the Radiation Protection Division of Health Canada (see below). Repacholi also identifies himself as:
“Team Coordinator
Occupational and Environmental Health, Protection of the Human Environment, Radiation Specialist, World Health Organization, Switzerland.”
Repacholi’s online resume also lists himself as employed by Health Canada from 1971-1983:
Health and Welfare Canada
Radiation Protection Bureau
(a) 1971-1974 Head, Medical X-ray Program
(b) 1975-1982 Head, Non-Ionizing Radiation Program
Section head of programs involved with research, measurement, and biological and health effects of radiation. Development of standards for both ionizing and non-ionizing radiations.
A few years after he left Health Canada, Repacholi launched the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and became its inaugural Chairman. ICNIRP is a known cellular industry lobby group and Repacholi is deemed to be largely responsible for the standards set by the WHO for RF radiation exposure. IARC had its hands manacled as long as Repacholi was there. Now the industry has established sufficient lobbying methods and infiltrated the WHO and IARC to manage things on their own selfish interests, those interests are measured in trillions of dollars.
ICNIRP is a non-profit organization. It operates much like the classic “old boys network” though it does have 3 female members at the helm. All members are invited in by existing members. All is kept very confidential and on the basis of “need to know.” ICNIRP has accountability to only itself, it is a self-managed and self regulated organization. Contrary to organizations like the Canadians Standards Association, the Ulderwriters Laboratories and the Canadian Gas Association or even the International Standards Organization (ISO), ICNIRP is not obliged to meet any standards of conduct, discipline nor knowledge and is not certified by any government as meeting specific quality standards, excellence, etc. It is a wild kid on the block. Everyone uses it as a scapegoat and often times to hide their own ignorance of the health hazards of RFR.
To this day, Health Canada officials refer to Repacholi by referencing the following 2007 study in their 2015 Safety Code 6 list of references:
Workgroup report: Base Stations and Wireless Networks-Radiofrequency (RF) Exposures and Health Consequences. Valberg PA, van Deventer TE, Repacholi MH. Environ. Health Perspect. 115: 416-424, 2007
4. I suspect an investigation of Health Canada shall reveal that the position taken by its officials: “there are no ill effects” from any RFR exposure, originated with the U.S. military and was picked up by Repacholi whom to this day, says that exposure to RFR does not produce any non-thermal (a term used to avoid saying biological) effects, that is to say that the only effect due to exposure to RFR is over-heating of tissue and body parts thereof. The claim has always been that the “power density” of devices emitting RFR is too low to cause damage to humans; now proven to be totally false.
5. The major danger of the Health Canada position as well as the U.S., UK, and Australia is that there is much more severe impacts on the health of the unborn, babies, young people right up to the age of 28, as it is around the age of 28 that our skeletons stop growing.
Some of the issues are stunted growth, damage to the neurons in the brain, ADHD, increased incidence of many health issues such as diabetes, irregular heart beats, high blood pressure, etc. psychological issues such as depression, the foggy brain, and much more. Parents lovingly put baby crib monitors and iPads in their child crib without realising they are slowly killing them.
According to Olle Johansson (forced into retirement), PhD, Associate Professor in Neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden, “in the last 10 years, we’ve increased the man-made radiation that penetrates our bodies, quintillion times more – that is 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 times more! (18 zeros).”
It is critical to keep in mind the fact that our bodies are electrically driven organisms, have electrically pulsed communications between neurons, have electrical charges that jump synapses in the brain, that we have an electrical charge in our bodies, our heart pumps because of electrical charges and all of it accompanied by a beautiful chemistry.
Now we are continually bombarding that structure with massive RFR forces; shall we survive?. It is said that humanity has slowly, ever so slowly, over millennia “adapted” to and lives in concert with the background RFR that is 1 X 10-18 less than our current man-made exposure; a recipe to disaster.
6. The claim of no biological effects from RFR has been overwhelmingly refuted by numerous scientists and researchers over the last 20 years. I believe the claim of “tissue heating” was originally made by the military while it developed radar (radio) technology and also by the Medical establishment that used diathermy (treating patients with microwaves) whom did not want to lose that revenue stream; memories of cigarettes touted as safe and used by thousands of physicians until, about 60 years ago, when Luther Terry, then Surgeon General of the United States, convened a press conference to release the first Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health, a financial disaster to the tobacco industry. To this day cigarettes are sold around the world resulting in billions in profits to the industry while it gently kills millions and the astronomical health costs are supported by taxpayers; the industry gets off Scott-free.

These are invaluable sets of abstracts (data-based to be searchable) covering the RFR scientific literature, as well as collections of scientific abstracts on oxidative effects (from both RFR and ELF), and a set specific to Electrohypersensitivity. New comet assay abstracts for RFR and ELF are added in 2017.

14. The cellular industry will do anything to not let the “cigarette scenario” land in their laps; they have the largest lobbying groups and payola to Congressmen in the U.S.; do not think Canada is a good boy in that regard.
15. Further, I refer you to the 1959 Technical Report (see (1) below). Yes, 62 years ago, RFR was of high level interest in the military, {as it still is today, as the military develops more and more RFR weapons (one example is the Active Denial System and let us not forget HAARP of which several countries have their own installations)}; those technologies are quite capable of killing people instantaneously, less we forget the interest in RFR through radar in the first and second World War,
1. I refer you to the 335 pages Technical Report of the “Proceedings of Third Annual Tri-service Conference on Biological Effects of Micro-Wave Radiating Equipments compiled by the Rome Air Development Centre Air Research & Development Command United States Air Force, Griffiss Air Force Base, New York.”
We may well find that the crushing deaths from
the COVID-19 pandemic will look like a walk in the park as over the next 50 years, as it is predicted by some scientists, we will lose our ability to procreate due to RFR exposure. Already, there has been significant reduction in fertility rates in the world.
As with the Titanic, Health Canada officials prefer to sink with the ship or retire early with a nice cushy pension. I trust you are not on the ship.
