To All: I have numerous posts on Caregiver portion of this forum. Due to major demands on my time, I am now going to post primarily on the EOAD thread in the hope that many persons will be helped by becoming aware of the very serious issue surrounding "close and chronic EMF/EMR exposures.

I am not mentioning specific appliance and telephone equipment concerns but other posts do. Also, I am glad to answer questions by phone or email.

Below is an email I received from a fellow EMF activist in London. She found herself unable to cope in her job as a TV film producer. Her website link is provided as part of her email:

CELL PHONE CONCERNS....DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME USE -- http://freepage.twoday.net/stories/3717660/

Email from Sarah Dacre ( Sarahdacre ) to Joanne Mueller ( jcmpelican@aol.com) dated 5-09-07:

One of the worst symptoms when I suddenly became incapacitated in May 2005 was an inability to remember anything whatsoever.

I had been growing increasingly addicted to my cell phone and had begun to sleep with it on a table next to my head, using the alarm clock function and charging it all night with the charger pack fixed into the wall 18 inches behind my bedhead and the cell phone 18 inches to the side of my head. The only other item on the bedside table was a simple lamp.

That level of exposure was almost irrevocably ruinous to my health. You should also know that I also had two DECT phone cordless systems in my home, located in other rooms in the house and a microwave emitting burglar alarm where one of the room sensors was located at ceiling height opposite my bed covering the entire room with its beam, 24/7.

This radiation cocktail was completed with infrequent microwave cooking.

In addition to dizziness, right eye deterioration, palpitations, night terrors, erratic and extremely high sudden onset high blood pressure, bladder and digestive disturbances and prolonged deterioration in my immunity, one of the worst symptoms was a complete loss of memory; I would forget the beginning of a sentence, either written or spoken, I would forget what I had jotted as a reminder; I forgot basic family details, birthdays and common recipes and easy domestic arrangements. I had always had photographic recall and I ran a work log book for legal and commercial reasons rather than to support a bad memory.

My ill health was progressive, myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), which meant a prolonged 18 months working on rediscovery of my regular sunny approach to life, right eye sight, heart palpitations, and return to some semblance of health and strengthened immunity.

I now have 95% of my perfect memory back. How did I achieve this? By shielding my life from EMR: moving my bed; switching off all EMF emitting devices; alternative supplements and detox; wearing the 99% EMR proof headnet for motorway driving and a shawl in highly emitting environments such as offices and airports, train stations, shopping centres. I also set out to retrain my short term memory with exercises, lists and soduko. My diet is full of healthy foods and pure supplements and minerals. I have regular Chinese acupuncture where the remedial focus is on memory and a healthy brain and central nervous system.

I know that my previous heavy use of my cell phone for say 4-5 hours each day and the night time phone charging ritual were the principal underlying cause of my memory problems.

We will certainly see an epidemic of similar levels of memory collapse in young people addicted to their cell phones.

We all have an obligation to raise awareness of this invisible peril to all of our young people.


with kind regards

I can't thank Sarah and others enough!!! Those who have shared their stories re nighttime electrical items and telephone equipment close to beds, in regard to themselves or others who are suffering from memory loss and cognitive dysfunction regardless of their "diagnosis are making a very important contribution that will hopefully begin to slow the alarming increases in all health problems and especially, the rapid increases Alzehimers and unidentified memory loss and cognitive dysfunction!!!"

Someone once said "listen to your patients and they will tell you what's wrong..." Problem is, "the public" isn't being informed that toxic EMF/EMR pollution (chronic, prolonged exposures) just might be causing a major part of their memory loss and cognitive dysfunction. In other words, one must "know what to look for in order to be able to "tell their story..."

Take care everyone!!! Joanne (5-12-07)
