Mobile Telecommunications
in Kempten West Blood levels Alarmingly
Altered
The Citizens Initiative Kempten West ,
which was established after the
installation of the T-Mobile transmitter
on the bank building (in Lindauerstraße)
is now able to present the first results
of the blood tests. Unfortunately, the
results confirm the fears of the
Initiative.
The initial blood samples were taken in
November 2006 before the transmitter
commenced operation (Dec. 2006). The
second set of blood samples were taken
in May 2007, 5 months after the
transmitter commenced normal operation.
All
28 participating residents had already
removed DECT-Telephones and WLAN from
their homes weeks before the first blood
sampling took place and also reduced
their mobile phone use to a few
conversations outside home. Furthermore,
6 families had the electromagnetic
exposure in their houses measured by
technician Herr W. Jogschies,
Wildpoldsried, both before and also
after the installation of the
transmitter mast. The second test
results showed a several fold increase
in the
electromagnetic RF
radiation exposure
(the
medical team has the measurements).
At the suggestion of Dr. med. M. Kern,
the initiator of the `Allgäuer Doctor’s
Initiative’, and of alternative
practitioner E. Strodl, the citizen’s
initiative decided to investigate the
effects of the telecommunications mast
on diverse laboratory parameters. At the
same time, this series of analyses is
part of a German-wide investigation into
the effects of mobile telecommunications
on humans (Dr. med. Hans-C. Scheiner in
Munich (München). The organisation,
implementation and medical supervision
of the project Suburb and the first
summary of the results were handled by
physician Anna Blanz.
The
following laboratory values were
established:
o
The differential
blood picture using whole-blood
o Serotonin daytime level from the blood
serum (8 a.m. -9:00 a.m.)
o Melatonin and from the blood serum
(daytime level)
o Determination of the nocturnal maximum
melatonin excretion through
determination of the melatonin
metabolite
6-Hydroxy-Melatonin-Sulphate (6-OH-M-S)
in the nocturnal total collected urine.
It
is established that both, the “mood
hormone” serotonin and also the “sleep-“
and “immune defence hormone”
melatonin
is formed in the pineal gland of the
brain, whereby serotonin represents a
precursor of melatonin.
In
healthy conditions a maximum of the
sleep hormone melatonin is formed from
serotonin during the night, whilst,
during the daytime, the ‘mood hormone’
serotonin is shown to be clearly
increased, at the expense of the then
severely reduced amount of the ‘sleep
hormone’, melatonin.
In
addition, undisturbed melatonin
excretion synchronises various
biological and hormonal rhythms in the
human body and ensures deep revitalising
sleep.
At
the same time, melatonin represents one
of the most important immune enhancing
substances of our body and, as a free
radical scavenger, it protects all
body- and brain cells against
genetic damage
considered as a precursor to cancer.
Serotonin
acts especially as a messenger for the
nervous system and in the
brain as a mood hormone. A reduction of
the serotonin level is therefore
associated with depression, lethargy and
listlessness, inner agitation and many
psychiatric disturbances.
The
evaluation/analysis of 25 study
participants (13 women, 9 men, 3 young
people) who all live within a radius of
15-300 metres of the telecommunications
mast produced the following results:
Melatonin in the Urine:
Only 8 out of 25 participants (28%) at
the initial testing exhibited initial
blood levels which were in the region
considered to be normal. It was
therefore a group of people that had
already been pre-exposed.
For 14 of 25 participants (56 %), there
was a decrease for the 6-OH-M-S in the
collected nocturnal urine.
For 7 of 25 participants (28%), there
was an increase, in most cases, within a
region considered to be severely
pathological.
Only one out of 25 participants (4 %)
with normal initial level exhibited an
increased level of 6-OH-M-S at the 2nd
[blood] test.
Daytime melatonin in the blood serum:
As a rule, the daytime melatonin level
in the blood serum is very much lower
than the nocturnal maximum melatonin
level.
The
paradox increase in the daytime
melatonin levels reflects the general
tendency to marked daytime tiredness of
people exposed to radiation.
Melatonin
levels clearly increased on average by
about 4.5 times of the initial level for
all 25 participants.
This effect is shown below based on the
mean value (of 25 participants).

Serotonin
in the blood:
At the second measurement 21 of 25
participants (=84%)presented a
reduction of the ‘mood hormone’
serotonin (in the daytime blood serum)
by an average of 46.3%.
Of these, 10 participants showed a
decrease of about 50% and above, with a
maximum serotonin decrease of up to 68
%. For 3 participants it remained
unchanged, for 1 participant the level
was slightly increased.
The following graph shows this change
based on the mean value of 21
participants:

Summary
Evaluation of the Results:
Especially alarming is the fact, that 84
% of participants, almost the whole
group, reacted with a massive decrease
in the serotonin level (average 46%)
following increased exposure from the
operation of the newly erected
telecommunications mast.
The clear increase in depressive mood
disturbances, lethargy and listlessness,
appetite disturbances, inner agitation
and reduced quality of life experienced
by nearly all nearby residents must be
acknowledged by orthodox medicine
Alarming is also the fairly steep
nightly melatonin decrease in the
presence of increasing telecommunication
signal exposure, which is nearly half of
the normal level for more than half of
the group (56%). Even the slow increased
tendency of nearly one third
(28%)represents ultimately, despite a
slight increase, only an upturn within
a mainly deeply lowered pathological
region.
We therefore have to expect considerable
sleep disturbance and immune
deficiencies in 84% (28 plus 56%).
Since, from the medical viewpoint, sleep
disturbance is increasingly seen as a
cancer promoting risk factor, these
numbers must be considered as alarming
The increase of the daytime melatonin
level, that is also normally
substantially lower in comparison to the
nocturnal melatonin peak, also indicates
a displacement of the flattened
nocturnal distribution graph in the
morning direction. Normally, the level
increases about 1-2 hours after going to
bed, it reaches a maximum between 2 a.m.
and 3 a.m. and then drops off again
steeply until the morning hours.
The blood sampling took place in the
morning between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. All
participants went to bed the night
before at the latest by 11 p.m. This
increase indicates, in addition to the
nocturnal melatonin reduction, also a
displacement of melatonin excretion in
the morning direction.
That means:
1. relative melatonin deficiency at
night with shortened phases of deep
sleep. This is indicated by restless
sleep with frequency awakening and
2. increased melatonin level at the tine
of arising from bed. It is symptomatic
of this, that one has difficulty getting
out of bed in the morning and feels
“absolutely whacked”. During the day,
consecutive symptoms appear, such as
tiredness, irritability, loss of
concentration etc. Actually, 16
participants complained about sleep
disturbances, 6 complained that they
were regularly awakened between 2 a.m.
and 4 a.m. and that they then had
difficulty getting off to sleep again.
Since the group of participants had no
other obvious change in their living
conditions, apart from the operation of
the mobile telecommunications mast with
the measured, appreciably increased
radiation exposure, it must be assumed
that there is a direct relationship.
Conclusion:
Since the medically conducted tests
carried out on residents living in the
vicinity of the commissioned operational
telecommunications mast proves a
drastically increased health risk,
immediate action by political and
regulatory authorities , at the
municipal, provincial- and federal level
are demanded.
In
order to prevent further endangerment of
the health of residents, the medical
point of view is that the operation of
the telecommunications mast must
immediately be stopped!
