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
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.

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.

Gary 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 Director of the Science Learning Center and Professor of Chemistry at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, CO.
Professor Phillips is 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 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tZDor-_co0
