SUMMARY:Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome by Dr Magda Havas
DESCRIPTION:TRIGGERS\, CAUSAL AGENTS\, PRECURSORS AND TREATMENTS FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION SYNDROME (EMR-S)\nby Dr. Madga Havas\, Ph.D. \nExposure to radiofrequency radiation has been increasing for decades and a growing population is suffering from exposure at levels well below international guidelines. This form of electromagnetic pollution can affect all systems in the body and consequently symptoms range from neurological\, cardiovascular\, hormonal\, immunology\, etc. \nDoctors unfamiliar with EMR-S may misdiagnose their patients with other illnesses like multiple sclerosis\, for example. Without knowing the cause of EMR-S\, simply alleviating symptoms is seldom adequate for full recovery. The aim of this presentation is to help individuals recover from EMR-S by understanding what precursors may be contributing to their symptoms. \nFive precursor categories are identified: physical trauma to the nervous system; exposure to toxic chemicals; biological infections; acute or chronic exposure to either ionizing or non-ionizing radiation; and an impaired immune system. Recovering from electromagnetic pollution requires deactivating the trigger(s) and the precursors suggest ways this may be accomplished. \nThe acronym R2ID3 may help physicians decide which treatments are likely to be most effective for their patients. \nThe letters signify the following: \n\n(R1) reduce exposure to pollutants\n(R2) rebalance limbic system\n(I) enhance immune system\n(D1) detoxify body\n(D2) test DNA for patient-specific detoxification protocol\n(D3) employ dental procedures to remove infections and metals.\n\nHelping patients recover and minimizing exposure to electromagnetic pollution is of utmost importance from a public health perspective. \nBiography \nMagda Havas\, Ph.D. is Professor Emerita at Trent University in Peterborough\, Canada. She has conducted research as an environmental toxicologist for 51 years and is internationally recognized\, both for her previous work on acid rain and metal pollution and for her current research on the biological effects of electromagnetic pollution and the beneficial effects of electrotherapies (31 years). \nDr. Havas works with people who have developed an intolerance to electromagnetic frequencies and advises health care providers on how to diagnose and treat people with this sensitivity. She has authored more than 200 publications\, has given more than 400 invited talks in 30 countries and at 25 universities\, and is co-author of Public Health SOS: The Shadow Side of the Wireless Revolution. \nDr. Havas serves as a science advisor to various government and non-government organizations and has provided expert testimony on the health effects of power lines\, occupational magnetic field exposure and radiofrequency radiation in Canada\, U.S.\, U.K.\, and South Africa. \nBookings \nFee: \n\nmembers: R200\nnon-members: R300\n\nTo book\, deposit fee and send POP to elma@integrativemedicine.co.za or via WhatsApp to Elma. \nContributions to SASIM Account number: 1357 003986 Nedbank Stellenbosch.

SUMMARY:Biological Effects of EMF by Prof Olle Johansson and Davida Van Der Walt
DESCRIPTION:BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF EMF AS PER THE INITIATIVE REPORT\nby Prof Olle Johansson and Davida Van Der Walt \nHistamine sensitivity is a key feature of MCAS\, a condition where mast cells release too many chemical mediators\, including histamine\, in response to triggers. Unlike histamine intolerance\, which is a reduced ability to break down dietary histamine\, MCAS involves the overactivation of mast cells themselves\, leading to a broader range of symptoms caused by the release of histamine and other substances like leukotrienes and prostaglandins. \nPeople with MCAS can experience a wide variety of symptoms affecting multiple body systems\, which may be worsened by histamine-rich foods\, but also by stress\, temperature changes\, and certain medications. \nBiographies\nOlle Johansson \nOlle Johansson is a professor\, retired from the Karolinska Institute (in Nov 2017\, still active)\, Department of Neuroscience\, head of The Experimental Dermatology Unit\, Stockholm\, Sweden\, and previously at the Royal Institute of Technology\, Stockholm\, Sweden\, upholding positions as an assistant professor\, associate professor\, guest professor and adjunct professor\, in basic and applied neuroscience. The Karolinska Institute and the Royal Institute of Technology are famous for their associations with the Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine\, Chemistry\, and Physics. \nHe has a long background in the neurosciences and has coauthored – together with his supervisor assistant professor Tomas Hökfelt and many others\, including Nobel Laureates – up to the presentation of his doctoral thesis 143 original papers\, reviews\, book chapters and conference abstracts\, a publication record hard to beat! His doctoral thesis at the Karolinska Institute was entitled “Peptide Neurons in the Central and Peripheral Nervous System. Light and Electron Microscopic Studies”. He has participated in more than 300 congresses\, symposia and meetings as an invited speaker\, and with free contributions and as an invited ‘observer’ at an additional 200. His studies have been widely recognized in the public media\, including newspapers\, radio and TV as well as on the Internet\, both nationally as well as internationally\, and he is a regular interview guest in magazines\, journals\, tabloids and newspapers\, as well as in radio shows\, TV programmes and in the Internet-based news blogs and websites. \nOlle Johansson is a world-leading authority in the field of EMF radiation and health effects. Among many achievements he coined the term “screen dermatitis” which later on was developed into the functional impairment electrohypersensitivity which recognition mainly is due to his work. He has published more than 800 original articles\, reviews\, book chapters and conference reports within the fields of basic and applied neuroscience\, dermatoscience\, epidemiology\, and biophysics\, and is one of the authors behind the original Bioinitiative Report\, including the chapters that were published – following peer review – in the journal “Pathophysiology” (2009)\, as well as the Seletun Statement\, The London Resolution\, The Benevento Resolution and The Venice Resolution. He has received a number of awards\, including the Nokia Consumer Electronics Award\, The Grand Environment Award of the Cancer and Allergy Foundation\, the SIF Award\, Tandvårdsskadeförbundets Pris\, and many more. \nHe has on-going international scientific collaborations with\, i.a.\, Switzerland\, Japan\, Belgium\, Australia\, Malaysia\, Uruguay\, Canada\, and the USA. \nDavida Van Der Walt \nDavida is an Industrial Psychologist who has since 2018 been a promoter of integrative health\, supporting those with autoimmune disease to find the root cause of their illness. After developing electrohypersensitivity herself\, working with experts such as Prof Johansson\, she developed protocols for helping persons with electrohypersensitivity (EHS) to live a normal life\, by once again addressing the root cause. \nBookings\nFee: \n\nmembers: R200\nnon-members: R300\n\nDeposit to SASIM Account number: 1357003986\, Nedbank. \nPlease reference your name and the talk. \nSend proof of payment to elma@integrativemedicine.co.za
