Hospital First to Recognize Wireless Illnesses

It's been eight years since I gave my first hospital presentation about Wireless Radiation and Health.  I am available to discuss this topic with media and health care facilities, provider and consumer groups.

Toronto Hospital is First to Recognize Symptoms from Wireless Radiation


Canada NewsWire
TORONTO, June 18, 2012 /CNW/ - Women's College Hospital says family doctors must learn to detect the symptoms of exposure to wireless radiation.

The hospital released a statement saying the symptoms include disrupted sleep, headaches, nausea, dizziness, heart palpitations, memory problems, and skin rashes. These symptoms are now labelled Electro-magnetic Hyper-sensitivity, or "EMS". "Health-care practitioners need to better understand EMS so they can help their patients," said Dr. Riina Bray, medical director of the hospital's Environmental Health Clinic.

Dr. Bray says the world is becoming dominated by wireless internet, cell phones and cell towers, and there can be a broad range of health impacts. The hospital's Environmental Health Clinic has begun holding educational workshops on the subject for doctors.

Last year the World Health Organization placed microwave radiation from wireless internet and cell phones on an official Cancer watch-list. Since then several schools have removed their wifi systems and the Catholic teacher's union in Ontario has called for a moratorium on wifi installations in classrooms.

2012 Dirty Dozen +

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has just released the 2012 Dirty Dozen list.  This year there's a + because a couple of items have been added because of pesticide concerns.
EWG's new Shopper's Guide to the Dirty Dozen will help you know which produce items have the most pesticide risk so you can try to choose organic.
According to EWG -
This year we have expanded the Dirty Dozen with a Plus category to highlight two crops -- green beans and leafy greens, meaning, kale and collard greens - that did not meet traditional Dirty Dozen criteria but were commonly contaminated with highly toxic organophosphate insecticides. These insecticides are toxic to the nervous system and have been largely removed from agriculture over the past decade. But they are not banned and still show up on some food crops.
Commodity crop corn used for animal feed and biofuels is almost all produced with genetically modified (GMO) seeds, as is some sweet corn sold for human consumption. Since GMO sweet corn is not labeled as such in US stores, EWG advises those who have concerns about GMOs to buy organic sweet corn.
The Clean Fifteen is also included.

J & J Mesh Bows Out of Mesh BIZ


If you are experiencing problems because of mesh please consider
looking  to our colleague, Linda Kilpatrick, for more information and support, 

Johnson & Johnson is stopping sales of surgical mesh products that aimed to relieve the intense pelvic pain of thousands of women but resulted in numerous reports of injury and several deaths.
The decision is the latest action by the health care giant tackling a range of problem products -- such as bottles of children's Tylenol and other popular over-the-counter medicines, as well as some contact lenses and certain hip implants -- that the company recalled due to manufacturing problems.
The surgical meshes, sold by J&J's Ethicon unit, are among a class of products made by various companies whose safety and effectiveness the Food and Drug Administration warned about in 2008. J&J's meshes are also subject to hundreds of product-liability lawsuits, according to a May securities filing by the company.
The company is planning to halt sales world-wide of Gynecare TVT Secur, Gynecare Prosima, Gynecare Prolift and Gynecare Prolift+M mesh products, an Ethicon spokesman said. The company has asked the FDA to allow it to keep selling its Gynecare Gynemesh product, but for insertion through the abdomen only, rather than the vagina as is also currently allowed, the spokesman said.
J&J will be stopping sales over the next three to nine months, with the goal of completing the process by the first quarter of 2013, the company spokesman said.
"This is not a product recall and we continue to have confidence in the safety and efficacy of these products. Our decision to discontinue these products is based on their commercial viability in light of changing market dynamics, and is not related to safety or efficacy," the Ethicon spokesman said in a statement.
The FDA didn't have an immediate comment.
Doctors began using surgical meshes in the 1970s to treat severe cases of a painful condition in which organs like the bladder, uterus or bowel drop down and protrude into a woman's vagina after childbirth. Initially, doctors inserted the meshes through the abdomen to support the organs. In the 1990s, gynecologists began inserting them through the vagina.
Between 2008 and 2010, the FDA received some 1,500 reports of adverse events for meshes made by J&J and other companies. In 2008, the FDA warned about complications including erosion, pain and urinary problems.

GMOs and Glyphosate Linked to Infertility, Botulism and SIDS


USDA Deregulates GMO Sugar Beets



On Friday, June 1, 2012, the Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that it has completed the final assessment of Monsanto’s genetically engineered sugar beets that were modified to withstand continued applications of the Monsanto’s flagship herbicide, Roundup.  Since every application for deregulation of a genetically engineered crop has so far beenapproved, it surprised no one when the agency again recommended a complete deregulation.
APHIS prepared two assessments — an environmental impact statement and a plant pest risk assessment.  Both assessments were made pursuant to court orders after a lengthy legal battle with the USDA by concerned consumer and environmental groups.
The initial lawsuit, filed in January 2008, was in response to the agency’s decision to deregulate genetically engineered sugar beets. In September 2009, the district court ordered the agency to conduct a full environmental impact study. The following year, in August 2010, the same court set aside the agency’s initial deregulation decision of GE sugar beets.
The USDA’s response to the court’s August 2010 ruling was to grant industry members temporary permits that allowed continued planting of GE sugar beets, forcing environmental groups back into count to challenge the agency conduct. The district court ruled that seedlings planted pursuant to the permits must be destroyed. An Appellate Court, however,  overturned that decision in February 2011. That same month APHIS announced that it will grant Monsanto’s request for a partial deregulation allowing planting of GE sugar beets with certain limitations until the agency conducts the court-ordered assessments.
George Kimbrell, Senior Attorney with the Center for Food Safety (CFS), one of the plaintiffs in the case, told me that CFS was “disappointed” with the agency’s decision and that CFS is reviewing the 800-plus page assessments to determine if any action is warranted.  SOURCE
