<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:14px">There is a new update to this ongoing legal battle between a man trying to save his home in Peachester and the NBN Co. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:14px">The appeal has now moved from the Magistrate court to the Supreme Court and a full hearing of the matter will now be scheduled sometime in the middle of the year. There have been a number of legal irregularities in this case that has seen a move of courts. This will be a pivotal case in Australia. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:14px"> For David to continue his fight he will need financial support. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.emfsa.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/DvG.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13325"/></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:14px">The NBN tower visible from David Evans’ property (300m away) is emitting microwave energy and causing grievous harm to David and his family. Due to the nature of his occupation (Electrician and a High Voltage Linesman) David has become Electro Hyper Sensitive (EHS). People don’t chose to become EHS because it is a very socially isolating and debilitating condition, as shown in this BBC report: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/av/stories-51281856/electrosensitivity-i-didn-t-believe-people-had-it-then-it-happened-to-me" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.com/news/av/stories-51281856/electrosensitivity-i-didn-t-believe-people-had-it-then-it-happened-to-me</a> </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:14px">Ironically, David moved to this rural&nbsp;location so that he might get some respite from EMF exposure when at home. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:14px">Without knowledge or consent, many different communities are being impacted by this form of electromagnetic pollution. Due to these increases, a growing number of people are becoming EHS. The prevalence of this condition is currently estimated to be between 3 to 15 percent of exposed populations. However, personal recognition of the cause, like any allergic reaction, is a slow process as it requires elimination of possible agents. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:14px">David is seeking for the courts to establish an injunction on the operation of this tower based on a Peace&nbsp;and Good Behaviour Order. NBN Co. was made aware of his medical condition prior to the construction of this tower but went ahead anyway with the council approval. The tower Development Approval showed that this approval contravened the council own environmental plan for this rural setting, but &nbsp;they gave approval anyway.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:14px">By constructing this tower they have knowingly assaulted him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:14px">Please support David financially. Just make a small donation and maybe give up purchasing a $5 cup of coffee to support him. If&nbsp; 50,000 people all donate $5 each he would have his fighting fund. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:14px"> You can be part of this historical case. Please buy David that cuppa and please spread the word. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:14px">Thank you to all for your continued support. </p>

<p><strong>24th January 2022, Updated note by EMFSA:</strong></p>
<p>The post above is from 2017. Science has developed since then. See the sterling work done by the South African National WHO Project Advisory Committee:</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The National Research Foundation (NRF) has taken over the role of WHO IAC country reporting and advisory body. One of the aspects is policy formation through developing and nurturing expertise across disciplines. The benefit of more rigorous and fact-based standards will assist in achieving transparent, effective, and accountable government in South Africa.</span></p>
<p><strong>Included in the work of the committee: opportunities and resources for Electrohypersensitives and activists:</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: revert; color: initial;">-Anyone suffering from <strong>Electrohypersensitivity</strong> can request their physician to contact the committee on their behalf for assistance. In previous years this was not possible, but due to the formation of the committee in 2021 this resource now exists.</span></p>
<p>-Creating EMF Safety Standards for South Africa via multiple court applications.</p>
<p>3G, 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi etc. :  Past cell towers, current and future applications are all included under this umbrella, as well as energy transmission.</p>
<p>Again, anyone who believes they have been harmed by previous exposures can partake in the process of creating EMF Safety Standards for South Africa.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Attempts to dismiss/devalue the work of the committee, or to deliberately ignore it, suggest a lack of understanding of its purpose. This has not got the best interests of the South African or global public at heart. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is up to every country to decide how it addresses the EMF issue. South Africa is now doing exactly that.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Abstract</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>This paper constructs persons with environmental sensitivities as comprising a hidden, marginalized group in technological culture that is paying a large price for our industrialized lifestyle. Due to the polluted nature of most public venues, this population is robbed of a sense of “place” necessary to maintain personal relationships. This population is marginalized by health-care providers and shunted into mental health categories, as our current health paradigms are not adequate to frame and categorize health problems caused by our toxic industrial lifestyle. The problem is discussed within the context of the pressures of capitalism, and examples are given of persons with environmental illness receiving mental health diagnoses (an attempted colonization) when they attempt to access mainstream health-care providers who lack knowledge or expertise regarding toxic-induced illness.</em> </p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Crisis deepens at PHE, AGNIR, the ICNIRP and the WHO</strong><br />
The small clique of regulators at PHE, AGNIR,ICNIRP and the WHO is becoming<br />
increasingly discredited scientifically. They still try to cling to<br />
their fringe minority viewpoint that the only microwave, radio and ELF exposure is heating.<br />
This may maximise the wireless industry’s profits,<br />
but it is destroying life &#8211; human, animal and plant.<br />
This Newsletter brings further news of the<br />
continued failure of these groups to fulfil their role<br />
in safeguarding the public.</li>
<li><strong>PHE’s and AGNIR’s “inaccurate” report: failure to safeguard the public</strong><br />
PHE’s AGNIR 2012 report (not peer-reviewed)<br />
was discredited by a comprehensive peer reviewed<br />
study in 2016 pointing out its many<br />
inaccuracies. PHE and the UK government now<br />
appear liable for giving unsafe advice based on<br />
this invalidated report. Critics argue that the AGNIR 2012 report must be retracted.</li>
<li><strong>Conflict of interests by PHE, AGNIR and </strong><strong>ICNIRP: time to replace WHO RF group</strong><br />
The fact that some members of PHE are also<br />
members of AGNIR and WHO’s ICNIRP raises<br />
serious issues of conflict of interests, where this<br />
small clique, with a single and minority viewpoint,<br />
both sets and also evaluates and then approves<br />
ICNIRP’s heating limits.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>See inside for a new WHO group composed of majority experts.</li>
<li><strong>Majority international experts confront </strong><strong>minority WHO and ICNIRP clique</strong><br />
Leading international experts have written to the<br />
United Nations and the WHO requesting up-todate<br />
and much higher scientific standards to<br />
safeguard public health and counterbalance<br />
wireless industry pressures. Some experts met<br />
WHO officials in Geneva on March 3 2017.</li>
<li><strong>To the ‘World Harm Organization’:</strong><br />
“You have failed us utterly”<br />
See inside for news of Olga Sheean’s powerful<br />
challenge to Margaret Chan, the director-general<br />
of the WHO, and Emilie van Deventer, the leader<br />
of the WHO’s EMF Project. She asks, for<br />
instance:<strong> “Are you committed to forever debating</strong><br />
<strong>the science, siding with industry and postponing</strong><br />
<strong>action, or are you committed to protecting our</strong><br />
<strong>health? How can we trust an organization that</strong><br />
<strong>rejects the science, dismisses the epidemic of</strong><br />
<strong>microwave sickness, and supports the very</strong><br />
<strong>industry that’s causing such widespread harm?”</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>        And some good news!</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>There has been excellent TV and media
<p>reports on EHS people in the UK (see inside).</li>
<li>UK courts, unlike the UK government, have
<p>been recognising more and more people with EHS, even if under different names.</li>
<li>More advanced scientific nations are taking action. Paris has rejected ICNIRP’s cooking
<p>limits, reducing its limit to 5 V/m. Cyprus has banned WiFi from kindergartens, like France,</p>
<p>and halted its use in elementary schools.</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Where &amp; When</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Keep a distance</strong>. Avoid holding your cell phone or cordless phone near your head or body during phone calls. Don’t carry your cell phone in your pocket, in your bra, or close to your body when it is powered on. Especially keep the phone away from your head and reproductive organs. Use speakerphone, text, or wired headset. Avoid talking longer than necessary.</p>
<p><strong>Wait for a good signal</strong>. When the signal is poor, your wireless devices emit more radiation so avoid use when surrounded by metal such as in an elevator, or while travelling in automobiles, buses, trains or aircraft.</p>
<p><strong>Reduce secondhand exposure</strong>. Reduce the time you spend in locations where many people are using cell phones in close proximity to each another, especially on public transit.</p>
<p><strong>Turn off wireless devices at bedtime</strong>. Turn off your cell phone, Wi-Fi router, and other wireless devices at bedtime and at other times when not in use.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Who &amp; How</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Minimize children’s use &amp; exposure to wireless radiation</strong>. Children’s health risks are greater so limit their use of cell phones and other wireless devices. Turn off Wi-Fi and cellular on devices used by kids. Teach children to use wireless technology safely.</p>
<p><strong>Pregnancy &amp; fertility</strong>. If you are pregnant or planning for a baby be especially careful as wireless radiation exposure is linked to reproductive health effects and also to sperm damage. Do not use a wireless tablet or laptop in your lap.</p>
<p><strong>Use airplane mode</strong>. Turn off cell phones and other wireless devices when not in use or switch to Airplane Mode. Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use.</p>
<p><strong>Use wired connections</strong>. Use a wired, land line phone whenever possible. Forward cell phone calls to your land line and check on them when you get home. Use wired Internet connections.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Take Action</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Electromagnetic hypersensitivity</strong>. If you think you are developing allergic symptoms from wireless radiation exposure, keep a log of your exposures and your symptoms. Then reduce your exposures for two weeks, and see if your symptoms are reduced. Discuss the results with your healthcare provider.</p>
<p><strong>Governmental action is essential</strong>. Send the International EMF Scientist Appeal (<a href="http://EMFscientist.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">EMFscientist.org</a>) to your elected representatives. Ask them to adopt policies to make wireless technology safer. Encourage them to fund education and research through a modest fee on mobile device subscriptions (e.g. a nickel a month). Work with others to get schools to remove Wi-Fi and provide students with Internet access via wired networks.</p>
