Walter Graham, a long time campaigner against wireless connectivity and mobile phone masts, has expressed concern for the health of residents and workers, who he claims, will be exposed to radiation 24 hours a day.

THE installation of Wi-Fi in the centre of Newcastle, England, is "risking the population living in the town", according to a Downpatrick environmentalist.

Planning is already underway for the installation of wireless broadband in the resort town and it is expected to be operational by the end of March.

The aim of installing Wi-Fi from the bus station to the harbour is to enable broadband access to be provided to people using laptops, or mobile phones, from anywhere along the Main Street.

Mr Graham said while it may benefit tourists passing through the town for a day, it will have long term health implications for residents of the area.

"People working full-time in offices will be exposed to this on a daily basis. They will be hit with radiation the same frequency as that produced from a microwave oven."

Mr Graham said research carried out by professor Olle Johansson from Karlolinska Institute in Stockholm revealed how spending 24 hours on a mobile phone is equivalent to 1,600 chest x-rays.

"There is no logical reason for this to be coming into Newcastle.

"You don't need to have Wi-Fi in a town centre. There already is free excess to the internet in the town's library.

"Why would you want your town turned into a microwave oven?" asked Mr Graham.

Caroline Richman, who lives close to Main Street has called on Down Council to delay the implementation of Wi-Fi until the community has been consulted.

The mother of four young children described the fact Newcastle is to become a Wi-Fi hotspot as 'alarming'.

"To notice that suddenly Newcastle is to increase Wi-Fi exposure on the unsuspecting population at a time when internationally, many countries are attempting to reduce exposure, is unbelievable.

"What this proposal means is that every second, every minute, every hour and every day, our community will be zapped by microwave radiation - while research shows that there is no safe level.

"This modern day threat is something you can't see, hear, smell, feel or taste. Children are particularly vulnerable to cellular damage as their nervous systems are still developing.

"I do not want the children of this area blasted with this electromagnetic radiation while they sleep in their beds," the concerned mother said.

Thanks to Gabrielle and the team for another fine season. Looking forward to season 5.

What is Codex Alimentarius?

Codex Alimentarius - Ian R Crane



Having spent the past twelve months investigating Codex Alimentarius, I am deeply disturbed by the almost total lack of awareness (or even interest) with regard to the implications of this pernicious global Commission, particularly amongst those most affected by the excesses of this restrictive legislation. In the words of the National Health Federation[i], the aims and objectives of Codex Alimentarius are as follows: * Only low-potency, “me too” supplements available that will do nothing for your health. * All or most foods genetically-modified. * Beneficial supplements unavailable or sold by prescription only. For many people, this agenda is so outrageous, they cannot believe such goals are achievable; yet this may well be the reality as soon as 31st December 2009, if the Codex Alimentarius Commission continues to disregard input from those who offer a counter perspective to the combined forces of Big Farmer & Big Pharma.

We Become Silent - The Last Days Of Health Freedom




International award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller of Well TV announced the release of a new documentary about the threat to medical freedom of choice. 'We Become Silent: The Last Days of Health Freedom' details the ongoing attempts by multinational pharmaceutical interests and giant food companies — in concert with the WTO, the WHO and others — to limit the public’s access to herbs, vitamins and other therapies. 'We Become Silent’ is narrated by Dame Judi Dench, the noted UK actress who has won multiple Golden Globe awards, an Oscar, and a Tony for her on-stage work.

Dr Robert Verkerk is an internationally acclaimed expert in sustainability. During the course of his work over the last 22 years, he has focused on a diverse array of issues ranging from environmental protection to reducing pesticide and synthetic chemical inputs in homes and in agriculture to the promotion of sustainable health care systems.

He spent some 10 years as an academic at Imperial College London, first as a student, undertaking both his Masters and PhD degrees there, before going on to some 7 years as a postdoctoral Research Fellow. He has worked extensively in Australia, Africa, Central and South East Asia, and has regularly acted as an advisor to governments and development agencies. In 2002, he founded the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH), a pan-European and international, non-partisan, not-for-profit campaign organisation dedicated to positively shaping the regulatory environment to allow the future development of natural and sustainable health care.

The ANH has become one of the most prominent forces in this field through its implementation of a diverse range of strategies based around the application of 'good science and good law'. Dr Verkerk is a patron of the College of Naturopathic Medicine.

It is, in part, its long drawn out timescales for the development and guidelines and standards that makes Codex Alimentarius guidelines and standards so problematic.

Listen to The Red Ice Creations interview with Scott Tipps.

Scott Tips from the National Health Federation joins us on the program to discuss Codex Alimentarius and the Codex Commission. Scott has been specializing in food-and-drug law and trademark law. We get to hear directly from Scott how the process of how Codex is being implemented, the mechanics of the Commission, how their meetings are being run, how "consensus" and decisions are being made. Topics discussed: International Food Standards, Food Trade, WHO, FLA, Laws, international law, propositions, standardization, the limiting of people's health freedom, GMO, vitamins, consequences of the implementation, the power of the European Commission. Don't miss this interesting program that will explain how the Codex Commission functions and how the freedom to make decisions over our own health is diminishing in a step by step process.
