A letter to Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland From an
EHS Who Gets Injured By Her Cell Phone Use
I read Prof. Havas’s account of
your presentation in Waterloo. I was astounded to discover that you, of all
people, are using a cell phone, even after declaring that you suffer from EHS.
Prof. Havas article ends in a quotation by Gandhi, however, considering your
cell phone use, another Gandhi quotation came to mind, one which apparently you
don’t exercise, “Be The Change You Want To See In The World”.
Recently, Mike Repacholi
idiotically claimed that your declaration regarding your adverse health effects
from cell phones caused millions to imagine migraines. I did not start to
‘imagine’ my EHS headaches and other life threatening symptoms because of your
statement. When I got EHS I was unaware of your situation. But when I did hear
about it, I could not understand how it could be that you would take no
action to help people like me, or actually like us, although people
begged you to do so.
But not only you are not
helping us, you are actually harming us. Despite being one of the only
people with EHS who is in a position to help, you of all people, stood in
Waterloo and legitimized cell phone use by using it yourself in the middle of
your speech. And worse, your use of cell phone wherever you go causes pain
and harm to people like us. Your actions prevent people like us from being able
to go anywhere. Your cell phone use requires antennas everywhere and as a
result people like us cannot live, work, or move about. We can’t even go to a doctor
or a hospital. We can’t even go to court to demand basic human rights,
including the right to life and health that are continuously being assaulted.
Because of your cell phone use, and because of your silence and inaction, millions
are losing their lives, I am one of them!
Let me tell you what a blackberry
specifically like the one you carry, does to me from 10 meters away. It causes
me heart palpitations, my eyes close down and the area in my brain near the
forehead feels as if someone is crushing it. You explained in reply to Prof.
Havas’s question, that you put your cell phone away from your brain and use a
speaker to suggest that this is ‘smart use’. There is no such thing since your
cell phone harms other parts of the body as well and worse, it harms everyone
around you especially those with EHS, just like second hand smoke. Your
response was ridiculous and ignorant. The only conclusion I can arrive at from
your response and actions is that cognitive dissonance seems to be a strong
force in your work.
I am sure you are trying to do
important work as part of the ‘Elders’, but frankly, I cannot see any greater
humanitarian crisis that needs attending, as helping the largest group of
refugees in the world, the people with EHS, especially since they have nowhere
to go. I do not know of any other current humanitarian crisis that affects
between 3-8% of the world. I do not know of any other group that everyone is so
determined to ignore its existence including governments, the media and even ‘humanitarian’
organizations like the WHO… This criminal and intentional disregard is causing EHS
sufferers to be tortured physically and mentally every minute of every day.
What cruel hand is at work, falsely claiming these people are ‘crazy’? It is
all because the existence of EHS is inconvenient to the rest of the world.
If the “Elders’ of this world are
acting the way you do, then that explains why this world is in such a state. I
may be rude, but I am never polite when it comes to people being oblivious to
other people’s suffering, especially those who are in a position to help, but don’t.
I did learn the lesson of what happened to my family in the holocaust because
of inaction and obliviousness. While I was always quite direct, since I got this
condition I am even more frank about my thoughts; I guess that complicated
health problems and so much evil disregard around you, can make you bluntly
honest. I know that many people share my thoughts, but would not dare saying
these things especially in such bluntness considering your power and influence.
But I, Dr. Brundtland,
always preferred to be right rather than smart and I have nothing to lose,
because of EHS I already lost everything there is to lose.
I will quote another elder,
Einstein, whom I always found extremely perceptive regarding human nature. He
said: “The world is a dangerous place not because of those who do
harm, but because of those who look at it without doing anything”. Because
you are using a cell phone even though you know the harm it causes to millions,
and you do nothing to help those millions of refugees with EHS, you are
guilty of both doing harm and doing nothing to help.
True ‘Elders’ would have made
sure that people with EHS would first have a place to live without radiation
before using their cell phones and harming them further. True elders
would have told you that first and foremost, you need to ‘Lead by Example’
which you obviously don’t! At least you should follow ‘Don't
do to others what you don't want others do to you’, but even
this most basic ancient principle, you do not keep!
Sincerely,
Yes, thank you Dafna, for your strong voice of reason in a world filled with those who choose to live in denial.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa. As Mark Twain said - It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled..
ReplyDeleteI think she could do more for EHS and by that achieve here goal
