DESCRIPTION:Wireless Stress Syndrome:  Hypothesis or Reality? \n\nThursday, November 
 20th, 7pm - 9pm at the SEIU Union Hall, Santa Cruz  (517 Mission 
 St.)\n\nWireless Radiation Alert Network - Santa Cruz health advocates work 
 through WRAN to educate government and the public of the non thermal bio 
 effects from radio frequency microwaves and to improve existing regulations 
 on exposure levels to rf microwaves. As part of our educational campaign we 
 are sponsoring Alex Richards for his presentation -\n \nWireless Stress 
 Syndrome:  Hypothesis or Reality? \n \nThursday, November 20th, 7pm - 9pm 
 at the SEIU Union Hall, Santa Cruz  (517 Mission St.)\n \nFor the past two 
 years and in preparation for his upcoming book, "The Invisible Threat:  
 Dark Side of Wireless", Alex Richards has been researching the biological 
 impacts of electromagnetic fields (EMF) with a primary focus on the health 
 effects from wireless technologies. \n \nContact Alex Richards at

 Richards\n\nIn the next five years you may see your health decline. It may 
 start with fatigue and stress. You will awaken un-refreshed. Perhaps 
 you’ll have headaches and find it difficult to concentrate. Out of 
 nowhere will come blue moments and panic attacks.  You’ll blame it on 
 your lifestyle.  You’re getting older. You will probably never consider 
 the subtle fact: our environment has fundamentally changed..\n\n\nThe US 
 has become increasingly filled with radiation from radio-frequency fields 
 and microwaves. These radio waves create electromagnetic fields (EMF) from 
 cell phones, satellites, military and airport radar, WiFi, security alarms, 
 baby monitors and even remote control toys. Until the late 1980’s these 
 radio waves were mostly generated by commercial or military sources.  But 
 then we began to bring microwave transmitters like cell phones, WiFi and 
 microwave ovens right into our lives. Our environment, once filled with 
 only thousands of distant fixed transmitters now has become an environment 
 filled with millions of mobile transmitters, many of which beam EMF into 
 our homes. What was once solely a commercial/military source of microwaves, 
 has given way to the “dark side” of the consumer wireless 
 revolution.\n\nMost of us never noticed. These waves are invisible. We 
 can’t feel, taste, or sense them. But their effects can be observed and 
 measured. While measurements show that the intensity of radio waves in our 
 environment has risen between 50-150 times in the last decade, in an eerie 
 parallel, science has been tracking the explosion of unexplained health 
 impacts.\n\nScientists have already linked biological effects, symptoms and 
 disease with low-levels of electromagnetic radiation 
 (www.BioInitiative.org).  Over 600 studies connect EMF with Cancer, 
 Alzheimer’s, depression, suicide, Autism, Leukemia, DNA damage, heart 
 disease, strokes, chromosome damage, migraines, permeation of the blood 
 brain barrier, activation of stress hormones, decreases in melatonin/ 
 serotonin and immune system suppression (www.marinproject.org). Other 
 studies help explain the list of unexplained stress symptoms you may be 
 already be feeling: fatigue, memory loss, anxiety, concentration issues, 
 chronic joint/muscle pain, sleep disturbances and ringing in your 
 ears.\n\nThe Freiburger Appeal (www.WirelessStress.com ) with nearly 30,000 
 signatures by European physicians links cell phones, cordless phones and 
 cell towers with these unexplained stress symptoms.  Along with the growth 
 of wireless since the mid-1980’s, there has been a parallel growth of 
 illnesses without a known cause, so-called mystery illnesses and an 
 emergence of dozens of ‘new age’ diseases, such as Chronic Fatigue 
 Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, MS, Lupus, Gulf War Syndrome and 
 Electrohypersensitivity, all of which share the same primary symptoms as 
 the stress symptoms listed above. The link between wireless technologies 
 and the three tiers of health impacts is astonishing: unexplained stress 
 symptoms; "mystery illnesses" and the explosion of “new age’ 
 illness.\n\nWhen you begin to see these stress symptoms coming, you may 
 receive plenty of advice from your family physicians. You will probably 
 fill prescriptions for sleep, pain and maybe even depression. You will gain 
 a sense of management of the symptoms, but they will persist. You will come 
 to accept it.\n\nYou will never make the connection to an invisible world 
 of electropollution that has silently exploded around you. You will never 
 suspect that the cell phone in your pocket, or the wireless router that 
 brings you WiFi, could be stealing your health. You’ll go on filling your 
 prescription and explaining the nagging symptoms away. You’ll never see 
 it coming.\n\n ###\n\n \n\n\n
