Coghill Research Laboratories
"This Website explores the effects on life of electricity and magnetism".
"Company Overview: We are a small vibrant company with our finger on the pulse of hazards and therapies from new and existing bioelectromagnetics technology. Our research work is presented at conferences and meetings and in the peer reviewed literature. Currently we are undergoing expansion and in 2000 acquired the adjacent freehold premises which have been extensively refurbished inside and out to provide additional workspace. In addition we have built a new 60 square metres purpose-built laboratory on adjoining ground, and developed our botanical nursery plots for the investigation of radioprotective food nutriceuticals."
"CEO Message: As our understanding grows I believe magnetic therapy will be a major factor in treating many ailments in the future. We also believe health hazards of electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones, power lines and other sources are seriously understated. We aim to research these risks and inform you of them. Also we research beneficial effects of magnetic therapy and have products which help with many medical conditions particularly pain relief and circulatory problems."
"Our Mission: Bioelectromagnetics will become the medicine of the 21st Century."

"Electrical Hypersensitivity (ES) is an illness that is little understood except by the people who suffer from it, who are only too well aware of its symptoms, though they may not be aware of the cause of them, or even have heard of the illness. The medical profession on the whole do not recognise ES (like ME (or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) was not recognised as a medical condition when it was first reported). GPs will often refer patients to the psychiatric profession saying that their symptoms are 'all in the mind' and that they are ‘over anxious and with psychological problems’. Depression may well follow as a result of being disbelieved, not only by GPs, but family, friends, work colleagues and employers, but it is not depression. Medical personnel who specialise in ES or are even somewhat knowledgeable are very thin on the ground, and can be based in hospitals which are, for many ES people, an impossible environment even to visit, because of the electrical equipment and fluorescent lighting."
"ES affects up to 35 % of the population. About 5 % of the population has become seriously affected to the extent that that their lifestyle has to be modified, sometimes quite dramatically. Unfortunately, the people who have minor effects may well go on to become more seriously affected by exposure to electrical or microwave sources, if they do nothing to improve their electromagnetic environment, or to boost their immune system."
"ES can be triggered by exposure to a new electrical source (typically VDUs, fluorescent lighting, mobile phones or mobile phone masts) or by chemical exposure (damp proof course, garden or farm sprays, cavity wall insulation, etc)."
"In ES sufferers, eyes and skin react in a multitude of ways, they get headaches of all degrees of severity, sleep disturbances (especially near mobile phone masts), heart problems, joint aches, tiredness, digestive and breathing difficulties, cognitive and behavioural disturbances, etc. According to a Swedish Trade Union, between 1993 and 1996 the number of people suffering serious side effects from exposure to sources of EMF in the workplace doubled, from 10 % to 20 %. There is reason to believe that this escalation in ill-health is contining as the environment is getting increasingly polluted with Radiofrequency radiation (known to trigger ES) from new developments in mobile telecommunications technology and a ‘bluetooth’ world where our electrical appliances talk to each other using microwaves."

Swedish Association for the ElectroSensitive
"Introduction. On this server you will find information in English and/or Swedish about electrosensitivity, formerly known as "Electrical Oversensitivity" or "Electrical Hypersensitivity" phenomenon, and health effects of electromagnetic fields and radiation. You may also find information on current research in this area. Information about the FEB association in Sweden is available in English, as well as addresses to similar associations world-wide."
"The first signs of electrical hypersensitivity are often experienced as a minor irritation when working with VDTs. A frequent symptom is that of warmth or a burning sensation in the face, not unlike a strong sunburn. Some people develop a reddish skin blemish or rash at the same time. These can also be accompanied by tingling sensations in the skin, both facially and/or over the whole of the body. In addition eye problems can occur. You might get the feeling that the mucus membranes have dried out."
"These initial symptoms must be regarded as a serious warning. With these initial symptoms there is still a chance to prevent the development of a more serious electrical hypersensitivity. At this stage the symptoms are usually alleviated when the VDT is switched off or if the distance to the VDT is sufficiently far away from the user."
"For some individuals the problem becomes gradually worse. The symptoms are sustained for longer periods. In the beginning it takes an evening and night for the symptoms to disappear, but as the damage gets more progressive, it takes ever longer. It might take a weekend for the symptoms to disappear, later several weeks."
"The discomfort with VDT use becomes worse. Many describe the warmth and tingling as though the face was boiling. New symptoms occur. The whole body is affected including the nervous system. This might include: difficulties in concentration - dizziness - headache and nausea - teeth and jaw pains - ache in muscles and joints and cardiac palpitations."
"Some describe symptoms such as memory loss, coordination problems etc., a feeling of impending influenza that never quite breaks out."

The EMR Network
"EMR Network Mission Statement: We believe that electromagnetic radiation (EMR), which includes the extremely low frequencies (ELF), the radio frequencies (RF) and microwave (MW) radiation, may be hazardous to life and may constitute a significant threat to public health. This belief is based on credible research, spanning decades of scientific inquiry. Our mission is to enhance local, regional, national, and international efforts to reduce, mitigate, and where possible, eliminate hazardous exposure to EMR."
"We are committed to fostering the appropriate scientific research. Our charge is to educate the public, government officials and those in other scientific disciplines about the biological effects and environmental concerns associated with EMR."
"The EMR Network was created to provide a forum for effective and balanced information for citizen-action groups, the media, municipal agents, government officials and scientists alike."
"Research: The EMR Network recognizes what some scientists have said for decades - that the military and allied RF industries have a strangle hold on the research. This creates conflicts of interest that do not always parallel the best interests of EMR professionals, independent research scientists, or citizens/consumers. Military/industry influence on governmental agencies has overly influenced everything from safety standards to consumer products and to the direction and funding of the research itself. It is because of this undue influence that the public trust has never been gained regarding the safety of radiofrquency/microwave exposures in particular. The same absence of public trust exists regarding ELF powerline frequency exposures as well."
"It is the radiofrequency band of the spectrum that is increasing daily across the planet. It is the radiofrequency band that is of primary concern since the human anatomy absorbs it maximally. It is the radiofrequency band that has had the least amount of appropriate research concerning its bioeffects to humans and all other species alike. It is, therefore, the area that needs the most immediate research."

Council on Wireless Technology Impacts
"The Council on Wireless Technology Impacts is concerned about the safe use of technologies which use electromagnetic radiation, especially where we live, where our children attend school, where we work and where we pray. We are a federally recognized, tax deductible, non profit corporation."
"The notion that non-ionizing radiation is harmless - the assumption of innocence - is no longer tenable. Research findings suggest that radiofrequency exposures are potentially carcinogenic and have other health effects. Therefore, prudent avoidance of unneeded exposures is recommended as a precautionary measure."
The Late John R. Goldsmith, M.D., M.P.H.
Internationally known environmental epidemiologist & public health consultant.

EMR Saftey Network International (2)
"Twelve years ago on advice of a consulting physician, the author of this site, for personal health reasons, reduced exposure to electromagnetic field radiation (EMR) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) in her environment."
"An uncommon number of debilitating physical and neurological symptoms had not responded to orthodox medical treatment, yet were found to abate or not occur at all when EMR avoidance was observed. It soon became apparent, to a keen observer, that the electric and magnetic fields and ESD were forces literally to be reckoned with and that most people were completely oblivious to the connection between EMR and health - while there were quite a number who were in fact aware of this connection, due to repeated experiences with EMR exposure."

TETRAWATCH
Say NO to TETRA
"As UK residents and Council Tax payers, we are concerned about the introduction of the new Home Office police TETRA communications system."
"TETRAWATCH says NO to TETRA. We are protesting that an untested technology is being planted among us without consent, consultation and in complete disregard for the fears of ordinary people. It is being rolled out across the UK in the face of clear scientific indications that shout out for precaution. TETRA communications antennae have been erected close to schools, on top of hospitals, near nursing homes, and just metres away from housing. Often they are added to existing masts, requiring no planning permission (or with no permission at all)."
"We are concerned about the health risks, (indeed many involved in TETRAWATCH suffer the described adverse symptoms). But we are also concerned about the costs, and the capacity of TETRA to provide effective police communications in any case. We believe that the system, called Airwave, is extremely poor value for public money and will not, indeed cannot, deliver to specification."
"Please read around this site. Our concerns are well-founded. We are neither scaremongers nor eco-warriors, Luddites nor Nimbys. The science, the technical details, the experience and the complete lack of democratic rights are laid out here for you to make your mind up too."
"We really do want our police to have effective modern communications, but it has to work, it has to be value for money, and it has to be safe. And yes, this is an issue of national security. Good communications that is; not TETRA/Airwave. Do you remember the time when that miracle substance asbestos was a legal requirement in buildings?"
