Health committee  I must apologize. I thought I would be able to refer to the slides. You have the slides in front of you; I will just mention them as we go along. Thank you for the invitation. You have my credentials on the first slide. I've been in the research business for a long time in the d

Health committee  I'm on the third slide now, which shows a quote from a paper by two of the authors of the report, Foster and Moulder, who say that the “only unequivocal mechanism for bioeffects” of radio frequency is the “heating of tissue”. This just makes no sense at all to a biologist. As I

Health committee  Okay. I'll just mention that I'm referring to Lerchl because he's been one of those who's been a naysayer. Anytime that anything has been presented, he has said that he doesn't believe there's any basis for a biological reaction. He has just published a paper saying the reverse.

Health committee  Well, I don't see that. They didn't elaborate what the biological effects were and what the non-thermal effects were. The only one they referred to was the...I forget the particular ones they had about non-thermal effects. The fact is that they didn't refer to the stress respo

Health committee  That's the body's reaction. You'd never know that because this was not written by biologists. I'm amazed that at the beginning of the report they put in a word for a chemical engineer, another engineer to come on board. They didn't even mention that they need one biologist. The

Health committee  Well, we have been carrying this message out. I'm not a shrinking violet, as you can tell from my presentation. I call things the way I see them. I've published a lot of papers. I was president of the Bioelectromagnetics Society. I've organized symposia on the precautionary princ

Health committee  I think pregnant women deserve a special category. The thing is that they may be classified with the rest of the adults, but the growing fetus in utero, although it's a small target, nevertheless is a far more important target. The fact is that any danger that occurs there will b

Health committee  Not under that title, but I've....

Health committee  No.

Health committee  Yes: programmed cell death.

Health committee  The answer is that I don't know of anything, but there are about 20 different stress proteins that have been identified, and not all of them have been tagged as to what their specific function is. It wouldn't surprise me if there were something like that, although cells and thei

Health committee  Yes, definitely.

Health committee  On a sort of a pure chance basis, given that four of these bases are used by the body to make the code and to use the code, you would expect that in 3 billion base pairs you would find one in roughly every 250 lengths. That means there's a possibility of interacting at any point

Health committee  Yes. That's the one we identified.

Health committee  That's the one we found in the reaction that started the formation of stress protein hsp70.
