Please join us for an important conference on
Sunday, November 8, 2009
at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden,
Colorado.
9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Electromagnetic Radiation Impacts on
Human
Health
Agenda:
Samuel Milham MD, MPH -
"Electrification's Tragic Legacy"
Chronic Disease Epidemiologist, Washington State
Department of Health, 1968-1988
Clinical Associate Professor, University of Washington School of Public
Health, 1968
to present
Dr. Milham hypothesizes that
the 20th century epidemic of the so-called diseases of civilization
including cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes, and suicide was
caused by electrification not by lifestyle. The explosive recent
increase in radiofrequency radiation, and high frequency
voltage transients sources, especially in urban areas from cell phones
and towers, terrestrial antennas, wi-fi and wi-max systems, broadband
internet
over power lines, and personal electronic equipment, suggests that
like the 20th century EMR epidemic, we may
already have a 21st century epidemic of morbidity and mortality
underway caused by electromagnetic radiation. The good
news is that many of these diseases may be preventable by environmental
manipulation, if society so chooses.
Dr. Milham was the 1997 recipient of the Ramazzini
Award for his outstanding
contribution to the epidemiology of occupational disease, with
particular reference to carcinogenic risk from electromagnetic
fields.

Frank Barnes PhD -
"Biological Effects of
Electromagnetic Fields"
Distinguished Professor of
Electrical
Engineering, University of Colorado,
Boulder
A new National Research Council report of the National
Academies of Science,
chaired by Professor Barnes, calls for a stronger
research effort on the potential health effects of exposure to radio
frequency energy tied to the
global explosion in wireless technology like cell phones, laptops and
hand-held pdf's, WiFi, etc. http://engineering.colorado.edu/overview/Profiles/faculty_barnes.htm
Magda Havas PhD - "Evidence
of Health Harm from
Electromagnetic Radiation"
Professor of Environmental
& Resource Studies
at Trent University in
Ontario, Canada
Professor Havas's research on the health effects of
electromagnetic radiation is
directed towards school environments and towards subjects with a
diagnosis of diabetes and multiple sclerosis. She is the author
of numerous published studies and papers on health effects of
electromagnetic radiation.

Garl Olhoeft PhD -
"Electromagnetic
Interference and Medical
Implants"
Professor of Geophysics at
Colorado
School of Mines specializing in Electrical Engineering, Physics and
Solid State Physics.
Electromagnetic energy can play havoc with cutting edge
medical implants.
Translating the complex science and drawing upon personal experience of
such interference with his own implant, Dr. Olhoeft's information poses
important public policy questions on protecting the disabled from
interference. http://inside.mines.edu/~golhoeft/
Jerry L. Phillips PhD -
"Electromagnetic Fields
and DNA Damage"
Professor Phillips is a
Science Educator and
Project Director at the
Biological Science Curriculum Study at the University of Colorado,
Colorado Springs, CO.
Professor Phillips is a past professor and researcher
in cell biology and
molecular biochemistry, and author of numerous studies on the
biological effects of exposure to electromagnetic radiation. http://www.icems.eu/docs/bios_phillips.pdf
Cindy Sage, MA - "The
BioInitiative Report
and a Biologically-Based Exposure
Standard"
The Report was
written by an
international
team of scientists. Ms.
Sage will overview The Report and actions being taken around the world
to protect the public and the clear need for biologically-based
standards. The US has yet to undertake parallel action. Ms. Sage is
an
EMR Environmental Consultant and author of numerous articles and books
on
electromagnetic fields, health effects and public policy. She will
discuss "next steps" in developing biologically-based electromagnetic
human exposure
standards that are protective of public health and that are developed
through traditional public health approaches. www.bioinitiative.org
