Conspiracy Theories Part 2

08/06/2011 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  1 Comment

I have just been working my way through the huge pile of EMR (electromagnetic radiation) emails which have accumulated over the last couple of weeks – an exciting two weeks in the EMR world with the WHO’s cancer committee’s warning about electromagnetic fields being possible carcinogens and the Council of Europe calling for ‘all reasonable measures’ to be taken to reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields, especially for children. For more on both see articles in this w/e’s newlsetter.

However, a good deal of the correspondence relates to Dr Olle Johansson, one of the leading figures in the research into the health effects of EMR. He is based at the world famous Karolinska Institute in Sweden – home of the Nobel prize. But along with other scientists working in this area, Dr Johansson has come under increased pressure from his employers who have now evicted him from his research laboratory. Why, you might ask, would one of the world’s most prestigious and respected centres of scientific endeavour be harassing, rather than lauding and supporting, one of their leading lights?

Ah well…..  Who do you think might be the main sponsors of the Nobel prize activities, the jewel in the crown of the Karolinksa Insitute? Yes, you guessed. One of Sweden’s, and the world’s biggest, telecoms companies, Sony-Ericsson.

If you wish to read about the goings on in much more detail click here.
If, having read about them, you wish to add your voice to those demanding Professor Johansson’s reinstatement in his facilities forthwith please email  the President of the Institute, Professor Harriet Wallberg-Henriksson at rektorssekreterare@ki.se copying in Staffan Cullheim, Chairman, Department of Neuroscience at Staffan.Cullheim@ki.se

Oh yes, and…..
In case you have not read or picked it up in John Weigel’s lengthy piece about the Karolinska and Olle Johansson,
Professor Ahlbom, who was supposed to chair the expert group on epidemiology at the IARC (WHO) evaluation of the carcinogenicity of mobile phone radiation, is the cofounder of “Gunnar Ahlbom AB” a Brussels-based lobby firm aiming to assist the telecom industry on EU regulations, public affairs and corporate communications.
In the event, the revelation of this fact by Swedish investigative journalist Mona Nilsson led to Prof. Ahlbom being asked, not to chair the meeting, but to attend as an ‘expert witness’ with no voting rights. He refused…

Disastrous Brexit fallout for medical cannabis users

Thanks to the tireless campaigning of a group of  ‘epilepsy mothers’, lead by Hannah Deacon, the mother of Alfie Dingley, and her consultant, neurologist Professor Mike Barnes, a change in the law in 2018 allowed the prescription of medical cannabis for children with certain rare types of epilepsy, those in chronic pain and for those …

The trouble about gluten-free oats

Oats are delicious – oats are nutritious – they contain high levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and are an excellent source of fibre – they do not contain the protein gliadin, the gluten fraction that coeliacs need to avoid – they add texture to gluten free baking and are easy to cook with. Few …

Happy, if distanced, Christmas!

After this very strange and, for many people, horribly difficult year I wanted to wish you all a very peaceful, safe, healthy and hopefully happy Christmas. And offer you a little allergic chortle. Those of you who used to receive the FoodsMatter magazine will remember all of Christopher’s wonderful allergy related cartoons – the caption …

Good news for those with peanut allergy

The news may be grim on the virus front but there have been two bits of good news this month for those with peanut allergy. Earlier in the month The Journal of Allergy and Immunology: In Practice reported on on a trial which demonstrated that peanut oral immunotherapy is still effective after one year of …

Is it time to subject Vitamin C to serious scientific scrutiny?

Ever since 1970 when the Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling claimed that gram dose vitamin C supplementation could prevent and alleviate the common cold, the argument has rumbled on – how effective can vitamin C supplementation be for respiratory infections both mild (such as the common cold) or more acute (pneumonia and, maybe, COVID19). The evidence …

Share a meal

Yes, indeed – what a lovely thing to be able to do – and one that we have been deprived of for all too long. But, we don’t have to be. Over lockdown my good friend Sarah Stacey, who lives in a tiny village in Dorset, started cooking meals for a poorly neighbour. Talking to …
