Evidence for the effectiveness of homoeopathic treatments is as strong as conventional treatments. A new analysis, published in BMC Systematic Reviews, reviewed six meta-analyses of placebo-controlled randomised efficacy trials of homeopathy for any indication. It found, that contrary to frequent claims, homeopathy has significant positive effects beyond that expected from placebo. The evidence provided by the new study further undermines the continued attacks on homeopathy and shows there's no justification for regulatory or political measures against the practice of homeopathy in mainstream healthcare. QUOTE: "...Download PDF Downloa Methods The inclusion criteria were as follows: MAs of PRETHAIs in humans; all ages, countries, settings, publication languages; and MAs published from 1 Jan. 1990 to 30 Apr. 2023. The exclusion criteria were as follows: systematic reviews without MAs; MAs restricted to age or gender groups, specific indications, or specific homoeopathic treatments; and MAs that did not assess efficacy. We searched 8 electronic databases up to 14 Dec. 2020, with an update search in 6 databases up to 30 April 2023. The primary outcome was the effect estimate for all included trials in each MA and after restricting the sample to trials with high methodological quality, according to predefined criteria. The risk of bias for each MA was assessed by the ROBIS (Risk Of Bias In Systematic reviews) tool. The quality of evidence was assessed by the GRADE framework. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the proportion of MAs showing a significant positive effect of homoeopathy vs. no significant difference. Results Six MAs were included, covering individualised homoeopathy (I-HOM, n = 2), nonindividualised homoeopathy (NI-HOM, n = 1) and all homoeopathy types (ALL-HOM = I-HOM + NI-HOM, n = 3). The MAs comprised between 16 and 110 trials, and the included trials were published from 1943–2014. The median trial sample size ranged from 45 to 97 patients. The risk of bias (low/unclear/high) was rated as low for three MAs and high for three MAs. Effect estimates for all trials in each MA showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo (5 of 5 MAs, no data in 1 MA). Sensitivity analyses with sample restriction to high-quality trials were available from 4 MAs; the effect remained significant in 3 of the MAs (2 MAs assessed ALL-HOM, 1 MA assessed I-HOM) and was no longer significant in 1 MA (which assessed NI-HOM). Discussion The quality of evidence for positive effects of homoeopathy beyond placebo (high/moderate/low/very low) was high for I-HOM and moderate for ALL-HOM and NI-HOM. There was no support for the alternative hypothesis of no outcome difference between homoeopathy and placebo. The available MAs of PRETHAIs reveal significant positive effects of homoeopathy beyond placebo. This is in accordance with laboratory experiments showing partially replicable effects of homoeopathically potentised preparations in physico-chemical, in vitro, plant-based and animal-based test systems. Systematic review registration PROSPERO CRD42020209661. The protocol for this SR was finalised and submitted on 25 Nov. 2020 and registered on 26 Dec. 2020. Peer Review reports Background and rationale Homoeopathy is a therapy system widely used in Europe, India and other countries [1]. Core features of homoeopathy include drug provings (observation of symptoms occurring in healthy persons exposed to substances of mineral, botanical or zoological origin), simile principle (similarity between symptom patterns in drug provings and the symptoms to be treated with the same substance) and potentization (successive dilution of the homoeopathic substance, with each dilution step involving repeated shaking of liquids or grinding of solids into lactose) [2]. The clinical effects of homoeopathic treatment have been investigated in several hundred randomised controlled trials [3] and in systematic reviews (SRs). Among the SRs, two contrasting approaches can be discerned. One approach is to focus on a specific indication (e.g., depression [4], acute respiratory tract infections in children [5]) while often including open-label trials and observational studies. In this approach, data synthesis is grouped by design, thus yielding information about homoeopathy in patient care. The opposite approach is to include all indications while restricting study designs to placebo-controlled trials and aggregating results in an MAs, thus yielding information about the specific effects of homoeopathy beyond those of placebo. A major reason for using this approach has been the claim that ‘homoeopathy violates natural laws and thus any effect must be a placebo effect’ [6]. Since 1997, at least six MAs of placebo-controlled homoeopathy trials for any condition have been published [6,7,8,9,10,11]. These MAs have differed in their methods for trial inclusion, data synthesis and assessment of risk of bias; furthermore, their results and conclusions have been inconsistent. During this period, there have been substantial advancements in methodology and quality standards for MAs and other SRs [12,13,14,15], including SRs of SRs (also called overviews or umbrella reviews) [16,17,18]. To our knowledge, a formal SR of MAs of randomised placebo-controlled homoeopathy trials for any condition has not been performed. Herein, we report such an SR. Objectives Research questions 1. 2. Methods Eligibility criteria for meta-analyses (MAs) The eligibility criteria are presented in Table 1. Table 1 Eligibility criteria for meta-analyses Full size table Information sources and search strategy Databases We searched eight online databases, including four databases largely or totally restricted to SRs (A–D), two generic databases (E–F) and two databases focused on complementary or alternative therapies (G–H) (Table 2). In addition, one private database (author HJH) was searched. Table 2 Online databases and search strategies Full size table Other sources A list of included MAs was sent to experts in the field to identify any missing eligible MAs or additional analyses of the included MAs. Selection process Screening Two reviewers (HJH, AG) independently searched the online literature databases and screened the titles and abstracts to identify potentially eligible MAs. The reviewers compared their screening results, and discrepancies were resolved by discussion (HJH, AG). Eligibility For the potentially eligible MA records, full-text reports were obtained. Two reviewers (HJH, AG) independently read the full texts and assessed their eligibility in accordance with the eligibility criteria (Table 1). The reviewers compared their eligibility assessments, and discrepancies were resolved by discussion (HJH, AG). Data collection process Two reviewers independently extracted data from the full-text reports into Excel files (HJH + [GSK, HK or AG]) using a piloted data extraction form. Reviewer AG compared the two sets of extracted data. Discrepancies were resolved by discussion (HJH + [GSK, HK or AG]). We extracted and summarised trial-level data from tables of the MAs but did not inspect original trial publications (with one exception, cf. Additional file 2, Section 2.3.1). Indications/diagnoses in individual trials were coded according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition (ICD-10). If more than one diagnosis was listed, the first listed diagnosis was coded. If two trials or trial comparisons were analysed separately in one MA and analysed together in another MA, they were counted as 3 trials or trial comparisons, respectively. If more than one trial report for the same trial was listed, only one trial report was extracted. Data items All outcomes in the following subsections refer to the combined effect estimate with a measure of precision for the primary clinical outcome reported in each MA (henceforth ‘effect estimate’). Primary outcome Effect estimates for. 1. 2. trials of higher methodological quality (or lower risk of bias), as stated and defined by the authors of the MA based on an assessment of at least three specified components of methodological quality (e.g. concealment of allocation sequence, blinding of outcome assessors) maximum one single high-quality category defined for the respective MA Sensitivity analyses Effect estimates in sensitivity analyses, calculated after restricting the sample based on the methodological quality (risk of bias) of individual trials, as assessed by: individual quality (risk of bias) components such as concealment of allocation sequence, double blinding [blinding of participants, study personnel and outcome assessors], risk of outcome reporting bias, peer-reviewed trial publication the criterion ‘high-quality trials’ (as in Item 2 above) + one or several additional quality components other combination of quality components, grouped by total number of components in the respective analysis: 2–4 or ≥ 5 cumulative MAs with stepwise removal of trials by risk-of-bias ratings, conceptualised in a hierarchical order by the authors of the respective MA (e.g. ascending numbers in a numeric scale or ‘poor’, ‘fair’, ‘good’) Supplementary analyses addressing meta-bias Effect estimates in supplementary analyses based on assumed risk of bias across trials (meta-bias): Statistical adjustment for possible publication bias/small study bias Sensitivity analyses, with restrictions of included trials, based on trial sample size Analyses addressing possible outcome reporting bias Combined analyses Effect estimates in analyses combining features of Sections 'Sensitivity analyses' and 'Supplementary analyses addressing meta-bias' above. Subgroup analyses With regard to research question 2, five types of trial subgroups in the respective MAs (A.1–5) were examined. The subgroup analyses had four types of results (B.1–4), and they were grouped by the timing of the analysis (C.1–2): A. 1 a b c d e 2 3 4 5 a b B. 1 2 3 4 C. 1 2 Other variables Other variables collected from the MAs are listed in Suppl. Table 1. Assessment of risk of bias in the included MAs Risk of bias/methodological quality of the MA was assessed using the ROBIS tool (Risk of Bias in Systematic Reviews) [13], supplemented with items 7, 10 and 16 from the AMSTAR-2 tool (A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews) [14], which are not addressed in ROBIS. Assessments were performed independently by two reviewers (HJH, GSK); discrepancies were resolved by discussion between the reviewers. The outcome of these assessments was the composite body of reports, comprising. 1 2 3 Effect measures Effect estimates of each MA (cf. Section 'Outcomes', above) were reported using the metric reported in the MA (e.g., odds ratio [OR], standardised mean difference [SMD]). Standardised mean differences for homoeopathy vs. placebo were reported with point estimates > 0 indicating a benefit of homoeopathy. Synthesis methods Effect estimates were summarised in table format and classified as follows: 1 2 3 If both fixed effects and random effects models had been used for the same analysis, the results from random effects models were used for the data synthesis herein. Meta-bias assessment See Sections 'Supplementary analyses addressing meta-bias' and 'Combined analyses', above. Confidence in cumulative evidence/certainty assessment Confidence in cumulative evidence for the two research questions (Sect. Research questions) was assessed. For question 1, the conceptual framework of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) group [20] was used, with a focus on six issues: risk of bias of individual trials [21], inconsistency/heterogeneity [22], risk of publication bias/small study bias [23], imprecision [24], indirectness [25] and occasions for rating up the quality of evidence [26]. For question 2, results of subgroup and heterogeneity [22] analyses were used. Results Identification, screening and inclusion of meta-analyses From the eight online databases, we identified 293 literature records of potentially eligible meta-analyses (search completed on 14 Dec. 2020). After the removal of 82 duplicates, 211 records were screened, of which 191 were excluded and 20 were further assessed for eligibility. In addition, searches in the database of reviewer HH (20 Jan. 2021 + addition of Gartlehner 2022 on 04 July 2022, cf. Section 'Additional data: Gartlehner 2022') and letters to experts (sent 10 Feb. 2021) yielded a total of 9 nonduplicate records that were also assessed for eligibility. Thus, 29 full-text reports were assessed for eligibility, of which 13 were excluded. Thus, 16 reports of 6 different MAs were included (PRISMA 2020 [27] flow diagram, cf. Fig. 1). Fig. 1 PRISMA 2020 flow diagram for new systematic review which included searches of databases, registers and other sources Full size image By 30 April 2023, a period of 30 months had passed after the end of the report time frame according to the original eligibility criteria (reports published up to 31 Oct. 2020). We therefore conducted an updated search of reports published in the period from 01 Nov. 2020 to 30 April 2023. We searched databases A–C, E, G–H (Table 2; D was no longer available, and F was omitted for budget reasons, having yielded no nonduplicate records in the primary search) and the database of reviewer HJH. The updated search yielded 13 records, of which 11 were excluded and 2 were assessed for eligibility. Of these, 1 report had already been included on 04 July 2022 (Gartlehner 2022 cf. Section 'Additional data: Gartlehner 2022'), and 1 was excluded (PRISMA 2020 flow diagram for the update in Additional file 4). A list of the 14 excluded publications (original search: n = 13, update n = 1) with reasons for exclusions is presented in Suppl. Table 2. The 16 reports consisted of 6 primary publications of one [6,7,8, 10, 11] or two [9] MAs, 2 published MA protocols [28, 29], 7 publications of additional analyses [3, 30,31,32,33,34] and 1 error correction [35] (Table 3). Table 3 Overview of included meta-analyses and publications Full size table Description of meta-analyses Chronological overview The six MAs were published in the period 1997–2017. The two first (Linde 1997 [6] and 1998 [7]) and the two most recent (Mathie 2014 [10] and 2017 [11]) MAs were MA ‘pairs’, i.e. they were conducted and published by the same first author with overlapping co-authorships. The other two MAs (Cucherat 2000 [8], Shang 2005 [9]) were published by different author groups. The MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6] was the first MA of placebo-controlled homoeopathy trials for any condition worldwide. The primary publication was followed by a detailed assessment of the relation between study quality (risk of bias) and effect estimates (Linde 1999) [30]. The MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7] was an updated subgroup analysis of Linde (1997) [6], restricted to I-HOM. The MA conducted by Cucherat (2000) [8] originated from a homoeopathy report prepared for the European Parliament by the Homoeopathic Medicine Research Group (Boissel 1996) [31]. Compared to the Boissel report, the MA conducted by Cucherat [8] had modifications in some analyses. We considered this MA the definitive work, but we also consulted the Boissel report as an additional source of details on the methods and conduct of the MA. The MA conducted by Shang  [9] was designed as a prospective comparison of two MAs of placebo-controlled trials: one MA of any type of homoeopathic treatment for any disorder and one MA with matched trials on conventional treatment. According to the protocol for the present SR [37], the results of the latter MA were beyond the scope of this SR. However, the authors of the MA conducted by Shang [9] used the results of the MA on conventional treatment to draw inferences about the homoeopathy MA results. We therefore included comparative data on the two MAs (presented in Additional file 2). The MAs conducted by Mathie (2014, 2017) [10, 11] were part of a comprehensive MA program (Mathie 2013) [3], covering placebo-controlled trials of individualised [10] and nonindividualised  [11] homoeopathy, respectively. Methods of the meta-analyses Research objective or hypothesis The main research objective concerned the efficacy of homoeopathic products vs. placebo in all six MAs: generally stated [7, 8] or in terms of outcome difference between homoeopathy and placebo [6, 10, 11] (full text excerpts in Suppl. Table 3). In the MA conducted by Shang [9], the research hypothesis was further specified: ‘We assumed that the effects observed in placebo-controlled trials of homoeopathy could be explained by a combination of methodological deficiencies and biased reporting’ (Discussion, p.730). Eligibility criteria Design, publication types In all six MAs, parallel group randomised trials were included, while crossover trials were excluded from four MAs [6, 9,10,11], included in the MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7] and not mentioned in the MA conducted by Cucherat [8]. Four MAs had no restrictions regarding publication format, while two (Mathie 2014 and 2017) [10, 11] were restricted to peer-reviewed journal articles of at least 500 words (Suppl. Table 4). Patients and indications Restriction to disease groups as such was not applied in any MA (Suppl. Table 5). Notably, in the MA conducted by Shang [9], the homoeopathy trials were compared to placebo-controlled trials of interventions used in conventional medicine, matched for indication. For 94.0% (n = 110/117) of otherwise eligible homoeopathy trials, a trial of conventional medicine for the respective indication could be found, while 7 unmatchable homoeopathy trials were excluded. Interventions, comparators In the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017) [10, 11], the homoeopathic intervention types were restricted as follows: radionically prepared medicines, anthroposophic medicine, homotoxicology, and homoeopathy combined with other (complementary or conventional) treatments were excluded (Suppl. Table 6). Other In the meta-analysis conducted by Cucherat [8], ‘only trials with a clearly defined primary outcome’ were included (Suppl. Table 7). Literature search and inclusion, data extraction and analysis For all six MAs, previously published MAs or SRs [38] were consulted. Between 4 [6] and 19 [9] online databases were researched. For all MAs, experts in the field were contacted for information on additional trials; manual searches of reference lists were used in five MAs but not in the MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7], which was largely an update on their previous MA from 1997 (Suppl. Table 8). Screening of titles and abstracts was performed independently by two reviewers in the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6] and by one reviewer in the MA conducted by Cucherat [8]. The screening approach was not reported in the four other MAs. Full-text assessments were performed independently by two persons in the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6]; by one person and checked in part by another person in the MA conducted by Cucherat [8]; and by one person in the MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7]. The full text assessment approach was not reported in three MAs. Data extraction was performed independently by two persons in five MAs and by one person in the MA conducted by Linde (1998 [7]). Risk of bias assessments were performed independently by two persons in three MAs [6, 10, 11] and by one person in the MA conducted by Linde (1998 [7]). The number of persons performing risk of bias assessment was not reported in two MAs. Lists of excluded trials were available in three MAs [9,10,11]. The reasons for exclusion of trials were provided in all MAs except the one conducted by Linde (1998) [7] (Table 4). Table 4 Quality of trial data handling Full size table All six MAs used one main clinical outcome for each trial or trial comparison. For the MA conducted by Cucherat [8], this was the primary outcome as reported in the trials (cf. Section 'Eligibility criteria', above); for the other MAs, a predefined hierarchical list of criteria for extraction of the main outcome was used (Suppl. Table 9). Protocol For two MAs (Mathie 2014 and 2017) [10, 11], a prepublished protocol was available; for two MAs (Linde 1997. Cucherat [6, 8]), a protocol was referred to in the publication; and for two MAs (Linde 1998, Shang 2005 [7, 9]), a protocol was not mentioned in the publication, while one single design criterion (outcome extraction in both cases) was explicitly stated as predefined. Risk of bias assessment, heterogeneity, meta-bias High-quality trials High-quality trials according to our criteria (cf. Section 'Data items' / 'Primary outcome', above) were performed in four MAs [6, 9,10,11]. The criteria for high-quality trials were described as predefined (Linde 1997) [6] or fully (Mathie 2017) [11] or partially (Mathie 2014) [10] defined in a prepublished protocol. One MA did not mention this aspect (Shang [9]). The criteria for high-quality trials were as follows: The MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6] used a combination of two score-based instruments: Jadad score [39] (range 0–5 points, thereof 0, 1 or 2 points each for items no. 1 and 3 and 0–1 point for item 11 in Table 5): ≥ 3 points Internal validity scale [30] (range 0–7 points, thereof 0, 0.5 or 1 point each for items 1–2, 4–7 and 11 in Table 5): ≥ 5 points Table 5 Criteria for high-quality trials Full size table The instruments used in the following MAs consisted of sets of mandatory criteria, all of which were to be fulfilled. The MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017) [10, 11] used the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (RoB, version 2011) [40]: low risk of bias for items 1–2 and 4–5 in Table 5, low risk for two of the three items 8 and 12–13 and low or uncertain risk for one of the latter four items. In the MA conducted by Shang [9], the number of quality components used was variously described as 3 or 4, corresponding to fulfilment of items (1–3) or (1–3 + 10) in Table 5. Lüdtke [32] interpreted Shang [9] as having used 3 components (Suppl. Table 29). Details in support of either 3 or 4 components are presented in Suppl. Table 11. The high-quality criteria were based on 8 [6], 7 [10, 11] and either 3 or 4 quality components [9] (Table 5). Risk of bias (methodological quality) otherwise The total number of methodological quality components assessed in each MA (including components of high-quality criteria as well as other components) ranged from 3 [8] to 10 [6, 7], details in Suppl. Table 12. Associations between quality components and outcome were analysed with hypothesis testing in four MAs (not in the MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7] and Cucherat [8]). Cumulative MA with stepwise removal of trials according to increasing quality categories was performed in four MAs using interval-scaled [7, 10, 11] or rank-ordered [8] categories. Of the two other MAs, one [7] had outcome analysis in 4 ranked quality subgroups instead of cumulative MA. Statistical heterogeneity testing was performed in four MAs (not in the MAs conducted by Linde (1998) [7] and Cucherat [8]); all but one MA [7] included an assessment of publication bias/small study bias (Suppl. Table 14). Potential conflicts of interest were stated and explained for at least one author in two MAs (Mathie 2014 and 2017) [10, 11]; a statement of no conflicts of interest for any author was included in one MA (Shang) [9], while this issue was not addressed in the three other MAs. Trial characteristics Number of trials, trial comparisons and trial reports For each MA, between 150 and 359 full-text records were assessed for eligibility (data available for four MAs) and between 16 and 119 trials were eligible for SR, including 16–110 trials with extractable data for MA. Altogether, 182 different trials (or in some cases, trial comparisons) reported in 165 different publications or other trial reports were included in the 6 MAs. Of these, n = 88 trials were included in 1 MA, 65 trials in 2 MA, 24 trials in 3 MA and 5 trials in 4 MA, with a total of 310 trials or trial comparisons (Suppl. Table 15). All following descriptions refer to these 310 trials. Availability of descriptive data Summary descriptive data on 12 different trial properties (excluding design, trial quality and results) were presented, ranging from 3 [8] to 9 [7] items per MA (Suppl. Table 16). All six MAs had at least one table with characteristics of individual trials. A total of 38 different items were presented (or summarily stated as present/absent in all trials), ranging from 8 (Shang [9]) to 33 items (Mathie 2017 [11]) per MA (Suppl. Table 17). The most frequently reported items were as follows: first author, number of patients, indication (brief), intervention in homoeopathy group, outcome, summarised rating of methodological quality (presented in n = 6 MA) indication group, graphical display of effect size with 95% confidence interval (n = 5 MA) Descriptive data The trials were published in the period 1943–2014 (Table 6). The median trial sample size per trial was in the range of 45–97 patients with a minimum sample size of 5–28 and a maximum size of 175–1573 patients. The trials of each MA had been performed in 11–15 countries (data available for four MAs). The countries where each trial was performed was reported in three MAs [7, 10, 11]; the most common countries were the UK (n = 18 trials among the three MAs, multiple responses possible), Germany (n = 17), USA (n = 9) and France and India (both with n = 6 trials) (Suppl. Table 18). The most common languages of trial publications were English (range 39–95% of trials), German (5–29%) and French (0–28%) (Table 6). Table 6 Literature searches, characteristics of trials with extractable data for meta-analysis Full size table Data on age groups and gender were available in three MAs [7, 10, 11] with a total of 94 trials (multiple responses possible). A total of 14.9% (n = 14/94) of all trials included children only, 55.3% (n = 52) included adults only and 29.8% (n = 28) included both adults and children or unknown. A total of 14.9% (n = 14/94) of trials included only females; 2.1% (n = 2) of trials included only males; and 83.0% (n = 78) of trials included both genders or did not report these data (data on individual MAs in Suppl. Table 19). Indications for all 310 trials (multiple responses possible) were coded according to ICD-10: The most frequent ICD-10 Diagnosis chapters were J00-J99 Diseases of the respiratory system (24.5%, n = 76/310), S00-T98 Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (11.9%, n = 37), K00-K93 Diseases of the digestive system (11.0%, n = 34) and M00-M99 Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (8.7%, n = 27) (Suppl. Table 20). The most frequent ICD-10 three-digit diagnoses were J30 Vasomotor and allergic rhinitis (7.1%, n = 22/310), J11 Influenza, virus not identified (4.8%, n = 15), J06 Acute upper respiratory infections of multiple and unspecified sites (4.2%, n = 13) and K91 postprocedural disorders of digestive system, not elsewhere classified [postoperative ileus] (4.2%, n = 13) (Suppl. Table 21). Interventions, results The intervention was I-HOM in all trials for 2 MAs [7, 10] and in 0–18% of trials of the four other MAs. In these four MAs, the NI-HOM intervention was clinical homoeopathy in 44–71% of trials, complex homoeopathy in 6–44% (Mathie 2017 [11]: including ‘combination products’) and isopathy in 6–13% (Table 7). The homoeopathic products used were high potencies only (≥ C12 or ≥ D24) in 29–39% of trials. Table 7 Interventions, metric of main outcome, trial resultsa Full size table The main outcome was binary in 43–89% of trials. The main outcome analysis showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo in 14–65% (weighted mean 36.5% (n = 113 of 310 trials), a nonsignificant superiority of homoeopathy in 18–55% (weighted mean 44.2%), a nonsignificant superiority of placebo in 16–32% (mean 19.0%) and a significant positive effect of placebo compared to homoeopathy in 0–1% (0.3%, n = 1 trial) (Table 7). Assessments of bias and heterogeneity Risk of bias (methodological quality) of trials Overview of methodological quality components For 10 different methodological quality components, the number of trials fulfilling the respective criterion was assessed in at least two MAs, with a total of 43 analyses (Table 8, components 1–10). Fulfilment rates ranged from 17% (allocation concealment adequate in the MAs conducted by Mathie (2017) [11]) to 100% (8 cases); 44% (n = 19/43) of analyses showed a fulfilment rate of ≥ 50%. Weighted mean fulfilment rates for each of the 10 components (multiple responses possible, as trials could be included in more than one MA) ranged from 20% (no funding-related vested interests in the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014) [10] and (2017) [11]) to 89% (publication format = journal article in all six MAs). Three components (journal article, double blinding adequate, no selective outcome reporting) had weighted average fulfilment rates above 75%. Table 8 Risk of bias (methodological quality) of trials: criteria used in ≥ 2 meta-analyses Full size table Outcome reporting bias In the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6], 23.6% (n = 21/89) of trials had a predefined primary outcome (effect estimate after sample restriction to these trials reported in Suppl. Table 28). In the MA conducted by Cucherat [8], only trials with one single ‘clearly defined’ primary outcome were eligible. In the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017) [10, 11], the risk of outcome reporting bias was assessed in Domain V of the Cochrane RoB tool by comparison of the results section with the protocol or, if no protocol was available, with the methods section of publications. In the MA conducted by Mathie (2014) [10], freedom from risk of outcome reporting bias was rated as ‘yes’ in 86.4% (n = 19/22) of trials in the MA, ‘uncertain’ in 4.5% (n = 1) and ‘no’ in 9.1% (n = 2). In the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11], the corresponding ratings were ‘yes’ in 74.1% (n = 40/54) of the trials in the MA, ‘uncertain’ in 9.3% (n = 5) and ‘no’ in 16.7% (n = 9) (Table 8, component no. 5). Effect estimates for the 19 and 40 ‘yes’-rated trials, respectively, were not published. High-quality trials The proportion of high-quality trials ranged from 6% (n = 3/54) of trials analysed by Mathie (2017) [11] to 29% (n = 26/89) of trials analysed by Linde (1997) [6] (Table 8). Notably, the criteria for ‘high quality’ differed widely among the MAs: High quality (named ‘reliable evidence’) in the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017) [10, 11] approximately corresponds to an internal validity scale of 6.5 points or higher in the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6], which was fulfilled by 8% (n = 7/89) trials in the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6], while 29% fulfilled the high-quality criteria of the authors for Linde (1997) [6]. If the high-quality criteria in the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017) [10, 11] had been restricted to the quality components 1–3 in Table 8 (corresponding to the 3-component model in Shang), the proportion of high-quality trials had been 23% instead of 14% of trials in the MA conducted by Mathie (2014) [10] and 11% instead of 6% in the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11]. When applying the same criteria to the MA conducted by Cucherat [8] (which did not have a ‘high-quality trial’ assessment as defined in this SR), they would be fulfilled for 94% of trials. For the three MAs using a set of mandatory criteria for ‘high-quality’ (Shang with 3 or 4 criteria; Mathie (2014) [10] and (2017) [11] with 7 criteria each), methodological quality was compared with the quality of other trials, assessed according to identical criteria: Shang [9] included such a comparison: Among 110 HOM and 110 CON trials, matched for diagnosis and outcome type, the proportion of high-quality trials was significantly higher among HOM trials (19.1%, n = 21/110) than for CON trials (8.2%, n = 9/110), (p = 0.0294) (Additional file 2). Mathie [10, 11] used the Cochrane RoB tool (2011 version) with 6 standardised criteria and 1 nonstandardised item ‘other sources of bias’, which was omitted from the subsequent RoB version 2 [41]. In an evaluation of this instrument, the methodological quality of randomised trials in 100 Cochrane SRs and 18 non-Cochrane SRs published at the end of 2014 was summarised using the 6 standardised criteria. The two SRs conducted by Mathie ([10, 11], including trials eligible for SR but not for MA) and the Cochrane SRs had similar proportions of randomised trials rated as having low (A: 3–6%), uncertain (B: 33–38%) and high (C: 59–61%) risk of bias, respectively, while the non-Cochrane SRs had comparatively more trials with uncertain risk (53%) and fewer trials with high risk (41%) [42] (Table 9). Heterogeneity Heterogeneity in the full sample Significant statistical heterogeneity across trials was found in 3 MAs [6, 9, 11, 30] and was not found in 1 MA (Mathie 2014) [10], while heterogeneity was not assessed in 2 MAs [7, 8] (Suppl. Table 23). Notably, in the MA conducted by Cucherat [8], the likelihood of statistical heterogeneity because of clinical heterogeneity was stated as a major reason for choosing p value combination instead of meta-analytic effect estimation. Heterogeneity after sample restriction or ‘trim-and-fill’ In the MA conducted by Linde (1997/1999) [6, 30], heterogeneity was τ-squared 0.43 in the full sample (n = 89 trials). After sample restriction to trials with higher methodological quality, heterogeneity was reduced in 6 of 7 univariate analyses, with τ-squared ranging from 0.31 for double-blind trials (n = 81) to 0.41 for explicitly randomised trials (n = 64). In one multivariate analysis, heterogeneity was reduced to τ-squared = 0.28 for explicitly randomised trials (Suppl. Table 23). In the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11], heterogeneity (I-squared 65%) was not reduced after the ‘trim-and-fill’ procedure for funnel plot asymmetry (FPA, I-squared 79%). Nonreporting bias, small study bias Unavailable trials Extensive searches for potentially eligible trials were performed for five MAs (not Linde 1998) [7], and unpublished trials were eligible for three MAs [6, 8, 9] but not for the two MAs conducted by Mathie [10, 11]. Data on unavailable trials were reported for three MAs: Linde (1997) [6]: The authors assumed that 15–30 unpublished trials that they could not obtain might exist, but did not present any quantitative findings supporting this assumption. Cucherat [8]: The authors identified 1 unpublished trial, for which data were protected by industrial property protection laws and hence unavailable. Shang [9]: The authors reported 9 unavailable trial reports, thereof 5 journal articles in English (n = 2) and Spanish (n = 3) language, respectively, and 4 conference proceedings in English language. Of these nine reports, one journal article had been misclassified, as it was actually a case of multiple publication (Straumsheim 1997, included in the MA conducted by Shang [9] as homoeopathy trial No. 87), three journal articles were listed in Mathie (2013) [3] as placebo-controlled trials but not eligible for the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014) [10] (n = 2) and Mathie (2017) [11] (n = 1), respectively, because they had not been published in a peer-review journal. One conference proceeding (Lara-Marquez 1997) was included in the SR performed by Linde (1998) [7] but not in the respective MA, as it was only available as an abstract (Suppl. Table 24). Unidentified trials Mathie (2013) [3] identified the following: 25 trial reports (2 peer-reviewed, 23 not peer-reviewed) potentially eligible for inclusion in the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6] but not listed therein, 41 trial reports (14 peer-reviewed, 27 not peer-reviewed) potentially eligible for the MA conducted by Shang [9] but not listed therein. Funnel plot, full sample Funnel plot inspection was performed in four MAs. Funnel plots were constructed by plotting the effect estimate for each trial—expressed as the log odds ratio [6, 9, 10] or standardised mean difference (Mathie 2017 [11])—against the standard error. In three MAs [6, 9, 11], FPA was found, with trials with higher standard error having larger effects. In one MA (Mathie 2014 [10]), the funnel plot was symmetric. Egger’s test was significant in the first three MAs but not in the MA conducted by Mathie (2014) [10] (Suppl. Table 25). Trim-and-fill tests were performed in three MAs [6, 8, 11]. Random effects and nonparametric selection models to assess possible missing trials were used in the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6]. Under different conditions, the number of fictive additional trials with zero effect required to change results from a significant to a nonsignificant superiority of homoeopathy ranged from 11 (Mathie (2017) [11]) to 4511 (Linde (1997) [6], fixed effects model) (Suppl. Table 26). Funnel plot, trials with higher quality Sterne (2001) [36] constructed a funnel plot of n = 34 trials with ‘adequate concealment’ + ‘double-blinding’ from the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6] (not the n = 26 high-quality trials according to Linde (1997) [6]). On inspection, FPA was found, and the corresponding tests were significant (rank correlation: p = 0.014; regression: p < 0.001). Lüdtke (2008) [32] constructed a funnel plot of the 21 high-quality trials analysed by Shang [9] by plotting the log odds ratio against the standard error. The plot showed a cluster of 18 largely symmetric trials and 3 extreme outliers, with 2 strongly favouring homoeopathy and 1 strongly favouring placebo. Egger’s test showed a large but not significant FPA (asymmetry coefficient 0.40, p = 0.17); this was also the case for the 8 largest high-quality trials (1.15, p = 0.94, funnel plot not shown) [32] (Suppl. Table 25). Associations between methodological quality and effect estimates Associations between methodological quality or other subgroups and effect estimates were analysed in 4 MAs (Linde 1997 [6], Shang [9], Mathie 2014 [10] and 2017 [11], Suppl. Table 27). Linde (1997 [6] and 1999 [30]): The authors analysed uni- and multivariate associations between four single quality components and the effect estimate and found significant associations for ‘double blinding’ (uni- and multivariate) and ‘explicitly randomised’ (multivariate) but not for ‘adequate concealment of random allocation’ nor ‘complete follow-up’ (neither uni- nor multivariate). Univariate analyses showed significant associations between three composite quality measures (A: Jadad scale > 2; B: Internal validity score > 4.5; C: A and B) and effect estimate. On the other hand, scatter plots of the Jadad scale and internal validity score against odds ratios showed no clear linear relationships (Suppl. Table 27). Linde (1997) [6] / Sterne [36]: The authors analysed uni- and multivariate associations between ‘English language publication’ and ‘Medline-indexed publication’, respectively, and effect estimates: two of four analyses showed significant associations (‘English language’, univariate + ‘Medline-indexed’, multivariate Suppl. Table 27). Shang [9] analysed univariate associations between six single quality components and effect estimates, and significant associations were found for three (‘Medline-indexed’, ‘double-blinding’, ‘adequate generation of allocation sequence’). Likewise, a significant association was found for high-quality trials (Suppl. Table 27). In multivariate analyses, as summarised by the authors ‘the standard error of the log odds ratio (asymmetry coefficient) was the dominant variable. Coefficients of other variables, including study quality, were attenuated and became non-significant’ (Shang [9], pp.929-930). The MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 [10] and 2017 [11]) revealed no significant associations between ‘publication free of vested interest’ and effect estimates (both MAs, Suppl. Table 27). Risk of bias of meta-analyses ROBIS According to our ROBIS [13] assessments, the risk of bias was low in three MAs (Linde 1997, Mathie 2014 & 2017 [6, 10, 11]) and high in three MAs (Linde 1998, Cucherat, Shang [7,8,9]) (Table 10). ROBIS assessments of each MA with our comments on individual items are presented in Additional file 1. Table 10 Risk of bias of meta-analyses: ROBIS assessments of individual items, domains and overall risk Full size table AMSTAR AMSTAR [14] items 7 (list of excluded studies), 10 (funding sources for included studies) and 16 (conflict of interest of review authors) received the poorest ratings possible (0) for the first three MAs (Linde 1997 & 1998, Cucherat [6,7,8]) and the best ratings possible (1 or 2) in the most recent MAs (Mathie 2014 [10] and 2017 [11]). The MA conducted by Shang [9] had two ‘0’ ratings and one ‘1’ (0–2 possible) (Table 11). Table 11 Risk of bias of meta-analyses: AMSTAR items 7, 10, 16 Full size table Primary outcome of this systematic review All trials with extractable data for meta-analysis Effect estimates—or for the MA conducted by Cucherat [8]: combined p values—for all trials with extractable data were reported in five MAs (not from Shang [9]). All analyses showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo (Table 12). Sample restriction to high-quality trials Effect estimates for high-quality trials Data items / Primary outcome were available for four MAs (not for the MAs conducted by Linde (1998) [7] and Cucherat [8]). Three MAs (Linde 1997, Shang/Lüdtke, Mathie 2014 [6, 9, 10, 32]) showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo, and one MA (Mathie 2017) [11] showed no significant difference between homoeopathy and placebo (Table 12). Table 12 Primary outcomes of systematic review: effect estimates for all trials and for high-quality trials Full size table Secondary outcomes Sensitivity analyses: Sample restriction to trials fulfilling quality criteria Sample restriction to trials fulfilling 1 quality criterion Sensitivity analyses with sample restriction to trials fulfilling 1 quality criterion were reported in four MAs [6, 7, 10, 11], with a total of 12 analyses based on 7 different single quality components (‘explicitly randomised’, ‘adequate concealment of random allocation’, ‘double-blinding stated’, ‘follow-up adequate/complete’, ‘main outcome predefined’, ‘Medline-listed’, ‘free of [funding-related] vested interest’). Of the 12 analyses, 11 showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo (Suppl. Table 28). Sample restriction regarding 2–4 quality components Sensitivity analyses with sample restriction regarding 2–4 quality components were reported in 3 MAs. In the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6], trials with a Jadad score > 2 had a significant positive effect of homoeopathy. In the MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7], the effect estimate for trials fulfilling 3 criteria (Medline-indexed + double-blind + “no other obvious relevant flaws”) did not differ significantly from placebo. In the MA conducted by Shang [9] and analysed by Lüdtke [32], the effect estimates for high-quality trials (interpreted as based on 3 components) fulfilling one additional criterion (Medline-listed, English language, Intention-to-treat principle, respectively) analysed with random-effects or meta-regression did not differ significantly from placebo (Suppl. Table 29). Sample restriction regarding ≥ 5 quality components Sensitivity analyses with sample restriction regarding 5 or more quality components were reported in 3 MAs with one analysis each. In the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6], trials with an internal validity score > 4.5 (n = 7 components) had a significant positive effect of homoeopathy. In the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017) [10, 11], high-quality trials and A- and B-rated trials (trials rated as having low or uncertain risk of bias in all seven domains of Cochrane RoB), respectively, both sets in addition rated as free from publication-rated vested interests (n = 8 components each) showed no significant effect differences between homoeopathy and placebo (Suppl. Table 29). Cumulative MA with stepwise removal of trials by risk-of-bias ratings Cumulative MA with stepwise removal of trials by risk-of-bias ratings was performed in four MAs, including three (Linde 1997/1999, Mathie 2014 and 2017 [6, 7, 10, 11]) using incremental removal according to interval-scaled instruments and one (Cucherat [8]) using a rank-ordered scale. The scales used by Linde (1997/1999 [6, 30]) were additive (sum of score points), while the remaining scales were in part [10, 11] or fully [8] hierarchically constructed. In the MA conducted by Linde (1997/1999) [6, 30], two cumulative MAs were performed: (1) For the Jadad score (range 0–5, 5 points indicating highest possible quality), a significant positive effect of homoeopathy was retained with a score of 5 points (n = 10 trials). For the internal validity score (range 1–7, 7.0 points indicating highest possible quality), significant positive effects of homoeopathy were retained up to 6.5 points (n = 7 trials), while no significant difference was observed for 7.0 points (n = 5 trials) (Suppl. Table 31). In the MA conducted by Cucherat [8], a cumulative MA was performed using a rank-ordered scale, with step 4 indicating the highest possible quality assessed by the authors. Significant positive effects of homoeopathy were retained up to step 3 (double-blind + dropout rate < 10%, n = 9 trials), while no significant difference was observed at step 4 (double-blind + dropout rate < 5%, n = 5 trials) (Suppl. Table 33). In the MAs conducted by Mathie (2013/2014 [10, 28] and Mathie (2017) [11]), one cumulative MA was performed based on the Cochrane RoB tool (2011 version), with 7 items for which the risk of bias was rated as low (A), uncertain (B) or high (C). Trials with 7 × A were rated A, trials with 7x (A or B) were rated as B and trials with ≥ 1 × C were rated as C. In addition to this hierarchical classification, Mathie counted the number of A- and B-rated items for each trial, allowing for a more differentiated assessment. In the MA conducted by Mathie (2014) [10], significant positive effects of homoeopathy were retained throughout the range up to high-quality trials (criteria in Sect. 3.2.2.5, n = 3 trials) (Suppl. Table 31). In the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11], significant positive effects of homoeopathy were retained up to two steps below high-quality trials (n = 14 trials), while no significant difference was observed at one step below high-quality trials (n = 13 trials) (Suppl. Table 32). Supplementary analyses: risk of bias across trials (meta-bias) Statistical adjustment for possible publication bias or other small trial effects Statistical adjustment for possible publication bias or small trial bias—without any additional sensitivity analysis—was performed for two MAs (Linde 1997, Mathie 2017 [6, 11]). In both cases, a significant positive effect of homoeopathy was retained after adjustment (Suppl. Table 34). Sensitivity analyses with sample restriction to trials with a higher sample size Sample restriction to trials with a higher sample size—without any additional sensitivity analysis—was performed for two MAs (Mathie 2014 and 2017) [10, 11]. In both cases, the sample was restricted to trials with a sample size above the median, and in both cases, a significant positive effect of homoeopathy was retained (Suppl. Table 30). Combined sensitivity analyses Sample restriction regarding methodological quality + restriction to trials with a higher sample size was performed in two MAs (Shang [9]: high-quality trials + “large” trials; Mathie (2017) [11]: A- and B-rated trials + sample size above the median for all trials). In both cases, no significant difference between homoeopathy and placebo was observed (Suppl. Table 35). Lüdtke [32] performed a cumulative analysis, varying the cut-off point for ‘large trials’ among the 21 high-quality trials included in the MA conducted by Shang [9]: a significant effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo was observed with a sample restriction to the 20, 19, 18, 16, 15 and 14 largest trials, respectively, while no significant difference was found with a sample restriction to the 17, 13 and 1–12 largest trials, respectively [32]. In the MA conducted by Shang [9], meta-regression analyses of ‘predicted effect in trials as large as the largest trials included in the study’ (without further specification; we assume the authors meant the intercept from the regression of odds ratios on the standard error) showed no significant difference between homoeopathy and placebo (Additional file 2). Subgroup analyses Tests for interactions Subgroup interactions were analysed in 3 MAs (Shang, Mathie 2014 and 2017 [9,10,11]). No significant associations were found for duration of follow-up, indication type (acute/chronic/prophylaxis) or type of homoeopathy (4 groups) (Suppl. Table 36). Effect estimates Effect estimates were analysed in a total of 23 subgroups, pertaining to indication (acute or chronic), type of homoeopathy (n = 10 subgroups), homoeopathic potency (n = 6) and outcome metric in trials (n = 5) (Suppl. Table 37). Of these 23 analyses, 21 showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy, while two showed no significant difference from placebo: potencies < 12C in the MA conducted by Mathie (2014) [10], which was restricted to I-HOM; homoeopathic combination products in the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11] (a category only described and evaluated in this MA, cf. Suppl. Table 10). No subgroup analyses were performed on patient age groups. Statistical homogeneity/heterogeneity, funnel plot inspection and related tests Neither statistical homogeneity/heterogeneity nor funnel plot inspection with related statistical tests were reported in any subgroup as defined in Section 'Methods / Subgroup analyses'. However, withstanding that Mathie (2014) [10] and Mathie (2017) [11] were part of one MA programme, these two MAs can be considered subgroup analyses pertaining to the type of homoeopathy. For I-HOM (Mathie 2014 [10], n = 22 trials), neither heterogeneity nor FPA was found. For NI-HOM (Mathie 2017 [11], n = 54 trials), significant heterogeneity as well as FPA were found (cf. Section 'Assessments of bias and heterogeneity', above). Timing of subgroup analysis Of the 23 subgroup analyses, 15 were specified in a prepublished protocol (Mathie 2014 and 2017 [10, 11]), while 8 analyses—albeit from MAs based on predefined protocols—were not explicitly stated to be prespecified (Linde 1997 [6], Cucherat 2000 [8]). Of the 15 former analyses, 14 showed a significant positive effect of homoeopathy, while 1 did not (Mathie 2014 [10], see above). Additional data: Shang [9] Data for the comparison of MAs of placebo-controlled trials of homoeopathic and conventional treatment in Shang [9] are presented in Additional file 2. Additional data: Gartlehner [34] After literature searches and data collection for this SR had been completed, an additional subgroup analysis of the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11] was published, which we decided to include, as it concerned an item that had not been analysed for any of the MAs: trial registration (Gartlehner 2022) [34]). The 54 trials included in the MA conducted by Mathie (2017) [11] were published in the period from 1976 to 2014, and 20 of those trials were published from 2002 to 2014. Of this group, Gartlehner et al. analysed 19 trials, stratified according to clinical trial registration, which had been available at ClinicalTrials.gov since 2000. A random effects MA showed a positive significant effect of homoeopathy compared to placebo in n = 6 registered trials (SMD 0.53, 95% CI 0.20–0.87) and no significant difference from placebo in n= 13 unregistered trials (SMD 0.14, 95% CI − 0.07 to + 0.35). However, the between-group difference in effect estimates was not significant (meta-regression: SMD 0.39, 95% CI − 0.09 to + 0.87) [34]. It is not clear why trial #A93 of the MA conducted by Mathie (2017 [11], Lewith 2002, listed in Gartlehner [34], Supplement Table 3 as ‘not registered’) was not included in these analyses. The proportion of registered trials was 100% (n = 3/3) among high-quality trials and 19% (n = 3/16) among the other trials (Suppl. Table 38). Confidence in cumulative evidence The assessment of confidence in cumulative evidence for research questions 1 and 2 (cf. Section 'Research questions', above) according to the GRADE framework (cf. Section 'Confidence in cumulative evidence/Certainty assessment') is presented in Additional file 3. Conclusions are summarised in the following Sections: Conclusion 1: Positive effect of homoeopathy beyond placebo? The quality of evidence (high/moderate/low/very low) for significant positive effects of homoeopathy beyond placebo is moderate for ALL-HOM and NI-HOM and high for I-HOM. If the data sources were restricted to MAs with a low risk of bias [6, 10, 11], the quality of evidence would be changed to high for ALL-HOM and remain high for I-HOM and moderate for NI-HOM. The available data yield no support for the alternative hypothesis of no outcome difference between homoeopathy and placebo. Conclusion 2: Common effect across different treatments and indications? Different types of homoeopathic treatment The notion of a common positive effect is supported for effects across different homoeopathy types, including different subtypes of NI-HOM, supported for effects of I-HOM, not supported for effects of NI-HOM. As the MA of NI-HOM (Mathie 2017 [11]) comprised different indications treated with different homoeopathic products, the latter finding suggests that the effects of NI-HOM may differ across different indications and/or different homoeopathic products used. Such effect differences may include significant positive effects of NI-HOM as well as no significant difference between NI-HOM and placebo in different subgroups. Different types of indications The limited data available support the notion of a common positive effect of homoeopathy for acute as well as chronic indications. The issue of effect differences among different diagnoses or diagnosis groups is outside the scope of this SR. Discussion Main findings In this first SR of MAs of placebo-controlled randomised trials of homoeopathy for any disorder in humans, homoeopathy had a significant positive effect compared to placebo for all eligible trials in 5 of 5 evaluable MAs and for high-quality trials in 3 of 4 MAs. Assessed by the GRADE system, the quality of evidence for positive effects (high/moderate/low/very low) was high for I-HOM and moderate for ALL-HOM as well as for NI-HOM. There was no support for the alternative hypothesis of no outcome difference between homoeopathy and placebo. Strengths and limitations This systematic review as such The strengths of this SR include a detailed, prepublished PRISMA-P [12] -compliant protocol with two focused research questions, comprehensive presentation of findings, the use of well-established assessment instruments (ROBIS [13], GRADE [20]) and adherence to standard reporting guidelines (PRISMA 2020 [27]). The scope of this review had two clear limitations: it was restricted to efficacy in placebo-controlled trials and did not address results for specific indications or indication groups. We used the GRADE system to assess confidence in the cumulative evidence and found it very helpful. Nonetheless, there are three relevant differences between the GRADE approach and this SR: (1) The GRADE approach is indication- and outcome-specific, while we studied MAs with effect estimates for trials with different indications and outcomes. (2) The GRADE framework is tailored to comparative effectiveness, while we assessed MAs of placebo-controlled trials. (3) The GRADE assessment of confidence in cumulative evidence refers to the magnitude of effects, while our research question concerned the existence of significant effects of homoeopathy beyond placebo (yes/no). Accordingly, our conclusions on confidence in the cumulative evidence may not be directly comparable to those of other SRs in the same research field. The meta-analyses included in the review According to the ROBIS framework, the risk of bias of the six included MAs was rated as low for Linde (1997) [6], Mathie (2014 [10]) and Mathie (2017 [11]) and high for Linde (1998) [7], Cucherat [8] and Shang [9]. A particular feature of the MA conducted by Linde (1997/1999 [6, 30]) was the detailed assessment of associations between risk of bias and effect estimates in the second paper. Low risk of bias. The MA conducted by Linde (1998) [7] was an update on the MA conducted by Linde (1997) [6] but restricted to I-HOM. Compared to the 1997 MA, the 1998 MA had a more descriptive and discursive outlook. Having relied on formal and statistical assessments in the 1997 paper, in 1998, the authors made conscious use of subjective judgement, also for the assessment of the risk of bias. Some of these features are not reflected in the ROBIS framework. High risk of bias. The MA conducted by Cucherat [8] had two particular design features: Because of the expected heterogeneity, p value combination was used instead of effect estimation. While other MAs have used a hierarchical algorithm for the selection of outcomes for MAs, the authors restricted eligibility to trials with a single primary outcome. This led to a substantial loss of information that was unaccounted for in the discussion. High risk of bias. The MA conducted by Shang [9] had an additional comparison between placebo-controlled HOM and CON trials matched for indication and outcome type. Regrettably, the only published effect estimates were those of small subsamples from extreme scenario analyses with severely compromised matching. The authors aimed to demonstrate that effects of homoeopathy could be due to bias. Thereby, they strongly relied on funnel plot-based analyses that had been developed by the senior author [43]. Their approach and the published results were marred by an underlying circular logic, which can be expressed as follows: ‘We assume homoeopathy doesn’t work and found FPA, which may be due to publication bias and small study bias. Admittedly, there are many causes for FPA other than bias, and we know that the funnel plot-based approach cannot prove that results are due to bias (as conceded elsewhere [36]). However, because we assume homoeopathy doesn’t work anyway, we feel confident that the FPA in our MA was due to bias.’ High risk of bias. The MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 [10] and 2017 [11]) were a predefined MA pair, covering individualised (2014) and nonindividualised (2017) homoeopathy. The problem of persistent heterogeneity and FPA in the earlier MAs could now be clearly localised to the NI-HOM trials, while the I-HOM trials had neither heterogeneity nor FPA. The work also benefited from advances in methodology, guidance and reporting standards. Low risk of bias for both MAs. The evidence generated in this systematic review The evidence generated in this SR is based on 6 MAs, of which the risk of bias was rated as low for 3 and high for 3. If the data were restricted to the 3 MAs with a low risk of bias, the quality of evidence would be rated high for ALL-HOM and I-HOM and moderate for NI-HOM (Additional file 3). Compared with trials of nonhomoeopathic interventions, which were assessed with identical rating instruments, the methodological quality of the homoeopathy trials in the MAs of this SR was similar for the MAs conducted by Mathie (2014 and 2017 [10, 11]) and higher for the MA conducted by Shang [9]. Significant associations between methodological quality and effect estimates were found in 12 of 24 analyses. After restricting the sample to high-quality trials according to predefined criteria, effect estimates were reduced [6, 11] or increased [10], with 3 of 4 MAs showing significant effects of homoeopathy compared to placebo. When adding a 5th MA (Cucherat [8]) to the assessment and applying the same high-quality criteria as in the 3-component model of Shang [9], 4 of 5 MAs showed significant benefit of homoeopathy. As assessed by the GRADE system, the quality of evidence for positive effects (high/moderate/low/very low) was high for I-HOM and moderate for NI-HOM and ALL-HOM. In comparison, among 608 Cochrane reviews published from January 2013 to June 2014, the GRADE-assessed quality of evidence for the primary outcome was high in only 13% of reviews, moderate in 31%, low in 32% and very low in 24% [44]. In a randomised sample of Cochrane reviews up until 2021, 90% of 1567 GRADE-assessed interventions were not supported by evidence of high quality [45]. This SR had two limitations. (1) As this was a SR of MAs rather than of individual trials, the trials examined herein were limited to those included in the MAs. Thus, eligible trials published after 2011 and 2014 for I-HOM and NI-HOM, respectively, could not be included. (2) Differential effects of homoeopathy on different indications and patient groups were only assessed for acute and chronic indications and for adults and children, with very limited data available. Interpretation of the results in the context of other evidence According to this SR, homoeopathy can have positive effects beyond placebo on disease in humans. This is in accordance with laboratory experiments showing partially replicable effects of homoeopathically potentised preparations in physico-chemical [46], in vitro [47], plant-based [48, 49] and animal-based [50,51,52] test systems. Implications of the results for practice and policy In contrast to frequent claims, the available MAs of homoeopathy in placebo-controlled randomised trials for any indication show significant positive effects beyond placebo. Compared to other medical interventions, the quality of evidence for efficacy of homoeopathy was similar or higher than for 90% of interventions across medicine [45]. Accordingly, the efficacy evidence from placebo-controlled randomised trials provides no justification for regulatory or political actions against homoeopathy in health-care systems...'

Safer is Wait brought their leaflet and school's template letter for schools. Their info and letter take a simpler approach to our previous templates, so Is worth adding to your repertoire. DOWNLOAD THE ABOVE LEAFLET The words from the leaflet Safer to Wait Protecting Children’s Health The flu vaccine and our children A call for caution from Safer to Wait This autumn, the UK government will offer the nasal flu vaccine to all primary and secondary school children. Flu can be unpleasant, but it is a relatively low-risk and short-lived illness for the majority of us. Some people are of course more vulnerable to the influenza virus, so particular care must be given to them during the flu season. We support the use of proven, safe and effective pharmaceuticals when genuinely necessary. But every medical intervention carries some risk. We firmly oppose asking children to receive a vaccine to ‘protect’ other, more vulnerable, groups. It Iis not appropriate to use children as a safety shield. We are also concerned about the creeping normalisation of drug reliance for children, and the associated dismissal of natural health. After the clear regulatory failings around the Covid-19 vaccines, questions are understandably arising about the true safety and efficacy of other vaccines. Research suggests that the flu vaccine is "inadequate", [1] and it has also been shown to cause a wide range of negative and serious health effects, including febrile convulsions, Guillain-Barré syndrome and oculo-respiratory syndrome. [2] Studies of flu vaccine safety and efficacy are not good enough — as highlighted by Cochrane. [3] They note that: “five children need to be vaccinated to prevent one case of influenza, although there is huge uncertainty around these estimates" (emphasis ours). They continue: “There is little evidence on prevention of complications [or] transmission". Tom Jefferson, the lead author of the Cochrane Review on Vaccines for Preventing Influenza in Healthy Children, puts it plainly: “Influenza vaccines are about marketing and not science”. [4] He adds: “The science is missing and so making an informed decision is very difficult”. A 2016 study showed that Strep A bacteria was “substantially higher in vaccine (flu nasal spray) recipients”, [5] with a 2023 study; showing that the vaccine also led to an increase in strep A infections. [6] Strep A killed at least 30 children in 2022 in the UK alone. [7] We believe that supporting children's natural immunity during the autumn and winter months is the best — and safest — protection against illness. Safer to Wait’s SENSE web page and leaflet suggest some simple ways to do this. [8] Hundreds of studies have demonstrated that Vitamin D supplementation helps during the months when there is less sunlight, especially if flu and respiratory infections are a particular concern. It’s effective in reducing the risk of infection and, if infection occurs, reducing viral load, duration and severity of illness. [9] [10] [11] The average child will have been given a cocktail of pharmaceuticals by the time they’re 18 — what are the associated long-term or cumulative effects? Nobody knows. But we do know that children are sicker — more allergies, autoimmune disorders, autism, cancers, the list goes on — than ever before. [12] Until we know exactly why, perhaps a more cautious and restrained approach to the administration of drugs to our children is wise. Perhaps it’s safer to wait? If you and your child decide not to go ahead with the flu vaccine, you need to make it clear to their school, in writing.

From 1st September 2023, all secondary school students in the UK are being offered Fluenz, a nasal spray vaccine for influenza. Fluenz was formerly known as FluMist, which was found to be barely 3% effective in the 2016-17 flu season. More worryingly, Fluenz currently has 311,999 adverse events reported on the WHO's official vigiaccess.org site. This leads to many questions and the need for resources that I have listed below. (the post is long so click on any question to jump to the relevant section) What is Fluenz? Who makes Fluenz? Is Fluenz safe and effective? Adverse event data - Reported Fluenz injury Did Fluenz kill 19 children in the UK? Excess deaths in Fluenz areas Fluenz ingredients Fluenz package insert What do the schools say? School vaccination leaflet What is shedding? How long should I keep my children out of school? What can I do? >>> TEMPLATE LETTER 1 TO DECLINE VACCINE >>> TEMPLATE LETTER 2 TO DECLINE VACCINE WARNING - What is Gillick's competency? >>> LEGAL STATEMENT UNDERMINING GILLICK COMPETENCY WHAT IS FLUENZ? Fluenz Tetra nasal spray is a vaccine designed to protect against influenza, commonly known as the flu. (see our article When did influenza become annual?) Unlike traditional injections, this new style of vaccine is administered through a nasal spray. Fluenz Tetra contains weakened live flu viruses that are designed to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies, in the hope of providing immunity against flu symptoms. WHO MAKES FLUENZ? AstraZeneca Just as if we were choosing a new car, it is worth considering the manufacturer's recent reputation. AstraZeneca's C19 vaccine earned the street nickname ´The Clott Shot´ Their C19 vaccine topped the ´UK yellow card adverse event fatality charts´ with over 1,413 deaths including 36 child deaths In 2021 many EU countries banned the AZ vaccine. Did you notice that the AZ C19 vaccine was also quietly withdrawn from the UK public after it was used on teens with we suspect disastrous results? The UK vaccine was marketed under Covishield in India resulting in multiple legal cases IS FLUENZ SAFE AND EFFECTIVE? First of all, what does the manufacturer AstraZeneca say? ¨...Like all medicines, this vaccine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. In clinical studies with the vaccine, most side effects were mild in nature and short-term...¨ This is the official AZ Fluenz side effect data presented on medicines.org.uk Very common (may affect more than 1 in 10 people): runny or stuffy nose reduced appetite weakness Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people): fever muscle aches headache Uncommon (may affect up to 1 in 100 people): rash nose bleed allergic reactions Very rare (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people): severe allergic reaction: signs of a severe allergic reaction may include shortness of breath and swelling of the face or tongue. They add ¨Tell your doctor straight away or seek urgent medical care if you experience any of the effects above.¨ They also add ¨You can also report side effects directly via the Yellow Card Scheme at www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard or search for MHRA Yellow Card in the Google Play or Apple App Store. By reporting side effects you can help provide more information on the safety of this medicine.¨ SOURCE This leads to three more key questions: How did Astrazenca achieve the above statistics? Are the statistics reliable? How many reports of minor and serious side effects of Fluenz have been reported? How did AstraZeneca achieve the above statistics? The company performed safety trials Are the statistics reliable? The data from Fluenz studies have produced doubt in many. Fluenz has been approved based partly on extremely short clinical trials using no placebo. Serious scientists (and even Wikipedia) consider experiments without placebo and double-blinding as pseudo-science, Trial PMC4796333 followed 385 participants for only 14 days Trial PMC4181477 followed participants for 13 weeks. Amazingly the trial concluded: ¨Recipients of influenza vaccines had about 1.6 times more ILI episodes (Influenza Like Illness) than did unvaccinated children, and although this may be at least partly explained by a healthcare service-seeking bias, further investigations are warranted into whether influenza vaccine increases the risk of non-influenza ILI, as health-care-seeking behaviour did not predict ILI in a regression model...¨ That last paragraph is worth reading several times. This study suggests that anyone worried about the flu and lets their children take the Fluenz vaccine, will see their children 1.6 times more likely to suffer the very influenza symptoms they were trying to avoid. If the vaccine reduced the likelihood of flu symptoms by 1.6 times, I think it would be considered successful, so this appears to be having the wrong effect. Admittedly, the trial uses small numbers of participants making all the results not as reliable as we might hope for. How many reports of minor and serious side effects of Fluenz have been reported? We all know companies produce shining data to sell everything from broadband, to cars and computers. Who with a mobile phone trusts the manufacturer's claim of battery life? What car achieves the manufacturerś's fuel efficiency claims? And if anyone expects to achieve the broadband speeds advertised, I suggest monitoring them independently! Let's take a look at the reported adverse events for Fluenz. REPORTED ADVERSE EVENTS WHO's official vigiaccess.org site currently has 311,999 adverse events reported as of 20th September 2023 for Fluenz. These include: Facial Paralysis Heart Inflammation Pericarditis Brain damage Meningitis Encephalitis Guillain Barré Streptococcus This is a screenshot of the Fluenz adverse event data which you can access and check here DID FLUENZ KILL 19 CHILDREN IN THE UK? In late 2022, Fluenz was rolled out to all UK primary school children. Just 4 weeks later, 19 children had died. The deaths were blamed on Strep A. However, Strep A is listed as one of the side effects of Fluenz. The UK Government refuses to publish how many of these children took the nasal flu spray. EXCESS MORTALITY IN FLUENZ AREAS Fluenz Tetra children’s live flu vaccination study finds excess mortality was higher in pilot areas compared with non-pilot areas. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/irv.12898?

The schools are in a strange position where on one hand they are pushing the vaccine but on the other declining responsibility. This is an excerpt from a recent school email to parents. Dear Parent/Carer Please find below and email from the immunisation team. Please note that xxxxxxx school act as a host for the immunisations to take place however any questions you may have relating to consent need to be directed to the immunisation team and contact details can be found below: Dear Parent/Guardian, Your child's flu vaccination is now due. This vaccination is recommended to help protect your child against flu. Flu can be an unpleasant illness and can cause serious complications. Vaccinating your child will also help protect more vulnerable family and friends by preventing the spread of flu. Please complete the consent form using the following link: xxxxxx Please ensure you complete your child's consent 48 working hours before your school session to ensure your child receives their vaccination. We are visiting your child's school on xxxxxxxxxxxx The vaccination is free and is a quick, simple and painless spray up the nose. Even if your child had the vaccine last year, the type of flu can vary each winter, so it is recommended to have it again this year or they won't be protected. A leaflet explaining the vaccination programme for secondary-aged young people can be accessed below and includes details about the small number of children for whom the nasal vaccine is not appropriate. The nasal spray vaccine contains a very small amount of purified porcine gelatine as an essential ingredient to keep it stable and able to work. For those who may not accept medicines or vaccines that contain porcine gelatine, a flu vaccine injection is available. Since the programme was introduced, most children offered the vaccine in schools have had the immunisation. Yours sincerely, xxxxxxx VACCINATION LEAFLET GIVEN TO PARENTS The title UK Health Security Agency infers gravitas for something once thought of so lightly that any kid with a sniffling nose was sent to school not to miss an important lesson. This is from their website. Fascinating the way they mention infectious diseases next to germ and nuclear warfare. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is responsible for protecting every member of every community from the impact of infectious diseases, chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear incidents and other health threats. We provide intellectual, scientific and operational leadership at national and local level, as well as on the global stage, to make the nation’s health secure. UKHSA is an executive agency, sponsored by the Department of Health and Social Care. Is this a moment to remember how pre-2020 we teased Skivvers for having what we called man-flu? ;) Back to the leaflet being distributed to parents... DOWNLOAD THE LEAFLET HERE Here are screenshots of the school leaflet The leaflet is glossy and persuasive. Let me provide some alternative reasons to the last page. 1. Protect yourself. The vaccine will help protect you against flu and serious complications such as bronchitis and pneumonia - Research shows the vaccine makes the subjects 1.6X more likely to suffer flu symptoms The leaflet is glossy and persuasive. - where is the evidence suggesting the vaccine protects against complications such as bronchitis and pneumonia? 2. Protect your family and friends. Having the vaccine will help protect more vulnerable friends and family - This is ignoring the established risk of shedding meaning the unvaccinated, and vulnerable are at risk from the live attenuated virus 3. No injection needed. The nasal spray is painless and easy to have - True enough 4. It’s better than having flu. The nasal spray helps protect against flu, has been given to millions worldwide and has an excellent safety record - The safety record can be seen here by looking at reported adverse reactions. Of course, this needs to be weighed against the total number of subjects, but we must also take into consideration the CDC and other official bodies admit only 1-10% of adverse reactions get reported. This means the injury data must be multiplied considerably by a factor of 1-100 to get a true idea of the risks 5. Avoid lost opportunities. If you get flu, you may be unwell for several days and not be able to do the things you enjoy - If you get the nasal spray studies indicate you are 1.6X more likely to get flu symptoms. - If you are unvaccinated and in school for the days after the flu nasal mist has been used you are likely to suffer from shedding and to experience flu symptoms. WHAT IS SHEDDING? Shedding is a widely accepted and understood side effect of using live virus in vaccines. When the vaccinated cough, sneeze, or detox via their breath or skin, they will pass the virus on. It means that unvaccinated children, parents, and grandparents catch the live weakened virus from those who have been vaccinated. i.e. the vaccinated spread the virus to the unvaccinated. Many studies have set out to measure shedding Study PMC6695509 seen on pubmed here, found that up to 67 % of vaccinated participants were shedding vaccine particles. HOW LONG SHOULD I KEEP MY CHILDREN OUT OF SCHOOL? The standard has always been to take the children out of school on vaccination days and keep them out for at least 3 days. Many now believe this should be 2 weeks. Of course, this presents the issue of childcare for many. I asked a well-informed mother what she had done in the past. This was her reply. ¨...It all depends on risks to child or other family members. When my friend´s father in law was undergoing chemo she pulled her two children out for a week. I’ve removed xxxxxxxx for a week, 5 days, 3 days and last year just the vaccination day. xxxxxxxx has never experienced shedding symptoms with the exception of last year, so in my book is deffo do 3 days off....¨ However, if we take a closer look at the above leaflet focusing on page 6, there is a more revealing clue. It indeed looks like 2 weeks is the official 'unadmitted' expected window of shedding. I imagine the risk from shedding moves in an exponential decline as in this graph. So after three days, the risk will be significantly lower, and near negligible at 2 weeks. WHAT CAN I DO? Carry out your own research Double-check the above data and information understanding some of it might be hard to find. Be aware sites like Wikipedia and YouTube and search engines like Google are controlled by industry and agendas As a starting point NEVER let your child (or anyone) have a vaccination when ill or off-colour. I have lost count of the parents who have told me their jab-injured child was not well on the day of the procedure. If in doubt, wait. A child can always have the vaccination later if you so decide. Safer to Wait have an excellent website based on the concept Remember to be kind to headmasters and teachers who are doing their best, but are limited by their knowledge. Decline consent for your child to have the vaccine. Use a template letter as seen below. Take them out of school for the shedding period, requesting home-schooling lessons so they don´t fall behind. Request that these days are not counted as absence, Present uninformed teachers with key information. Remind them attempting to use Gillick's competency could result in prosecution. Inform other parents of the risks at your child's school so they can make informed choices. We all want simple conflict-free lives. Of course, it needs courage to stand against the flow of the majority. My father often reminded me when in similar situations, such as being slower to cross a busy road than my friends... ¨It is better to appear a fool for a minute, than be one for a lifetime.¨ TEMPLATE LETTER TO SCHOOLS This letter template has been provided by Lawyers Date/Address Dear Sirs, [Your child's name] year [xx] The flu nasal vaccine is to be given to all school children this September. Accordingly, this letter is to formally and unequivocally withdraw my consent for you to vaccinate [your child's name]. If Gillick competence applies include the next paragraph. If it does not, remove the next paragraph. In all cases remove this paragraph that is in red. My daughter/son is at the age where s/he could be considered Gillick competent. Given this I have discussed the risks and benefits of the nasal flu vaccine with her/him and s/he declines informed consent to receive the same. Consequently my daughter/son has signed this letter to also refuse the vaccine. Recent research suggests that the flu vaccine "may not work as well as previously thought", (1), and further the vaccine has been shown to cause a wide array of negative and serious health effects, including Guillain-Barré syndrome, narcolepsy and Oculo-respiratory syndrome. (2), (3) (4). Given this, I am concerned that the risks from the vaccine outweigh the risk to [your child's name], a healthy child, from the flu itself. Please include the paragraphs below only if you intend to take your child out of school for the shedding period and in all cases remove this paragraph that is in red. Given the shedding from the vaccine, a further well-documented risk (5), this letter is also to inform you that to protect [your child's name], s/he will not be in attendance at school on vaccination days and for 2 weeks following the last day that the school administers the vaccine, to ensure that her/his health is not adversely affected by dissemination of particles from a vaccinated child. Given this, I would be grateful if you could supply 2 weeks of class work for [your child's name] to carry out at home, and I will ensure that this is completed. Given that the school has decided to administer the nasal vaccine in a non-clinical setting en masse, and my grave concerns as to the health of [your child's name] from shedding, you will appreciate that I do not expect any penalty for keeping [your child's name] away from school for the two week shedding period, and I reserve my right to take independent legal advice about the same should I receive notification of a penalty. Please place a copy of this letter in my child's school record. Yours sincerely, Your name Child´s signature here Child´s name here https://www.science.org/content/article/why-flu-vaccines-so-often-fail https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X20304023 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/199859 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0264410X03000951 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/irv.13149 DOWNLOAD LETTER TEMPLATE HERE TEMPLATE LETTER 2 BY MIRI Dear [name of headteacher], I am a supporter of the campaigning group, Informed Consent Matters, an initiative that promotes the vital legal and ethical importance of informed consent in medicine. I understand that you, along with every other secondary school in the country, will be offering the nasal flu spray to all of your pupils this coming September. I harbour grave concerns about this initiative, given the relative risk to healthy children from acquiring the flu is very low, whereas the flu nasal spray can potentially cause a wide array of negative health effects, some of them serious. I would therefore like to request a copy of the school's risk assessment regarding the mass administering of a risky medical product in a non-clinical environment, with particular emphasis on the controls put in place should a child have an adverse reaction. Studies have shown the nasal flu spray can cause a child to develop severe, life-threatening respiratory issues that require immediate ICU admission, amongst other potentially serious adverse effects. As you are aware, schools are not clinical environments, nor are they able to maintain the professional standards of such environments, and that one would expect when administering invasive, risky medical products to children. In the first instance, if a child needs urgent, professional assistance in the face of a medical emergency (such as a severe adverse reaction to the vaccine), schools are not equipped to provide this. Healthcare settings are, which is why, traditionally, children have always received their vaccinations in healthcare settings, rather than school gyms. In addition, children are also highly liable to become distressed at the prospect of vaccination, and the insertion of a foreign object into their nasal cavity, which is a particularly invasive procedure that could even prove painful if administered without sufficient care (unfortunately it is well documented that such care is often not taken when things are being inserted into the nose).. Therefore, children as young as 11 who are to be subject to such potentially distressing processes should be supported by trusted family members, not strangers who are "batch processing" hundreds of other children. This is a potentially highly traumatic experience for a child, especially one who may be dealing with ASD or a similar condition, as many children are. All these factors - both the physical and emotional risk to children of applying the flu nasal spray in school - should be taken into account in your risk assessment. A further risk which has been well and extensively documented by studies is the phenomenon of vaccine "shedding", where the flu nasal spray disseminates its particles from the vaccinated child, to others around them who have not been vaccinated. This phenomenon means parents cannot genuinely give "informed consent" to vaccination in school, because their child may inhale some of the vaccine from shedding classmates, even if that child themselves has not received the vaccination. This is another reason why vaccines should not be given in schools, but (for families who want them) in controlled clinical settings, where the risk of shedding can be minimised. Giving a shedding vaccine in schools, environments which are known to be "superspreader" environments for communicable infections like headlice, inevitably creates a high-risk situation where communicable aspects of the vaccination could be spread to many others, causing illness in those people. The flu vaccine is known to cause a wide range of infections and health conditions, including strep A (which swept through schools last year) and the flu itself, with a 2021 study showing 81% of flu cases in children were caused by the flu nasal spray. As such, I am concerned that administering this vaccine to an additional 3 million children, as the secondary school flu vaccination programme aims to do, has the potential to drive a wave of illness in children that could be declared as another "pandemic", and lead to more of the ruinous "lockdown" policies that so disrupted children's education and lives in 2020 and 2021. I am sure that you are as keen as I am to avoid that fate, so please consider very carefully whether you wish to administer the flu vaccine in your school (rather than letting families arrange for their children to receive this vaccine in the appropriate medical setting should they wish), and please also, as I have requested, furnish me with a copy of your full risk assessment should you decide to proceed with administering the flu vaccine in your school. As a member of the community, I am concerned for both the children at your school who may receive this vaccine, and the wider public (including vulnerable groups), who may be adversely affected by this vaccine and its ability to "shed" and cause illness - an illness that may potentially be declared by government officials as another "pandemic" (please note that the then-UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson declared in 2022 that if a wave of illness that specifically affected children ever emerged, another lockdown would likely be introduced). It is incumbent on you, as a headteacher with safeguarding and pastoral responsibilities to the children in your care, to ensure their optimal safety whilst they are at your school, and not to expose them to avoidable and unnecessary risks. It is the contention of myself and the Informed Consent Matters campaigning group that the flu nasal spray being administered in schools is an avoidable and unnecessary risk. If you cannot prove otherwise with a comprehensive risk assessment that takes into account all the evidence (not merely "cherry-picked" evidence that may confirm existing bias), then we will conclude that you are derelict in your obligations to optimally safeguard children, and we will therefore respond to this situation accordingly. Thank you for your time. Yours sincerely, [Name] WARNING - WHAT IS GILLICK COMPETENCY? As a parent, you have made up your mind. Although responsible for all your children until the age of 16, there is one loophole the industry/NHS/schools use. Even though your child can not purchase alcohol, tobacco, have a tattoo, engage in sexual activity, buy a gun or drive a car, they can potentially override your wishes on vaccination by citing Gillick Competency. What is Gillick Competency? Gillick Competency, is a legal concept established in the United Kingdom through the Gillick v West Norfolk and Wisbech Area Health Authority case in 1985, pertains to the ability of a child under the age of 16 to provide informed consent for their own medical treatment or decisions. To be considered Gillick competent, a minor must demonstrate a level of maturity and understanding that enables them to make informed choices about their healthcare without parental consent. The irony of this ridiculousness is that a child is not offered the Gillick Competency loophole to refuse a jab - only to accept one. It's a one-way rule that would make a perfect narcissistic gaslighting demon within any work of fiction, yet we accept this from our Health Security Agency via the NHS and our schools? Yes, it's bonkers. Fear not. A friend asked Philip Ridley of Weston A Price U.K. chapter to create a document with regards to the school´s vaccination program, Gillick competence and injury litigation. Philip has presented a simple argument that debunks this supposed loophole denying basic parental rights to protect a child, In summary: Gillick's Competency cannot be applied to teenagers as they cannot litigate for themselves as minors, should injury ensue. LEGAL STATEMENT ON THE VALIDITY OF ´GILLICK COMPETENCY´ USE THIS TO TACKLE THE RISK OF SCHOOLS OR VACCINATION TEAM ATTEMPTING TO BYPASS PARENT'S WISHES BY CITING ´GILLICK COMPETENCY´ Gillick Competency Parents are made by authorities to believe that Gillick Competency from Gillick v West Norfolk and Wisbech AHA [1985] UKHL 7 is an end entirely to their involvement in their child's medical treatments, but this is simply not true and parents have been misled. What Gillick's case states, citing Blackstone, is that parental responsibility flows from parental duties and that these duties and therefore rights fall away as a child develops competency of their own. Firstly, the case isn't clear that 12 is a cut off date, the date of competency will vary from child to child and children with mental capacity issues may never obtain capacity. Importantly, the case only refers to a child developing competency for bodily autonomy but this is not the only factor in a parent's involvement. The way in which autonomy is ultimately protected is through prosecution and litigation, being able to prosecute or sue those who violate bodily autonomy. What Gillick fails to explain is that children only develop competency to prosecute or sue another person upon reaching the age of 18, because prior to that age they are prohibited by law from entering into contracts, hiring a Solicitor or committing to proceedings that could result in them losing and being shouldered with a debt. Therefore, Parents have the parental duty and therefore responsibility to be a litigant friend for their child to the age of 18. This means that it must be unlawful to prevent the parent of a child under the age of 18 from observing the consent process, perhaps with a solicitor present, to secure that their child's consent is lawful and informed and so that they may take legal action on behalf of the child if necessary. That process simply cannot occur via mass vaccination at school and must happen in the privacy of a GP's surgery and so a parent seeking to exercise this right should act to prevent vaccination in school and demand that the consent process occur with their family doctor. The first duty of a child's litigant friend is to assess whether consent is lawful. If it is not, the treatment is a violation of bodily autonomy in the form of trespass to the person and the crimes and torts of assault and battery may have occurred. For assault to be committed, a defendant must have performed a positive act that made the claimant think that someone is about to apply force directly and voluntarily to their body without lawful consent. For battery to be committed, a defendant must have directly and voluntarily applied force to the claimant’s body without lawful consent. For the crimes of assault and battery, the statute of limitation is 6 months but additional time is provided after a victim has made a statement or a video recorded interview but there are circumstances where the offence can be indictable, including if grievous bodily harm occurs or if the battery results in manslaughter or murder. An offence can be reported to the Police or a private prosecution can be had but prosecutions are expensive and the burden of proof is beyond reasonable doubt, so it is generally advisable to focus on suing for the tort violations at least first if there is not overwhelming evidence. Assault and battery are also torts, which are proven on balance of probability and battery resulting in physical or psychological injury must be sued within three years. However, the 3 year limitation for a child does not commence until they are 18 and it does not start for a person with mental disability until or if that disability ceases, see the Limitation Act 1980. Consent is not lawful if a person lacks capacity either due to not obtaining Gillick competency or as a result of having a mental disability. There could be a whole host of reasons why a child of 12 or older may not have obtained capacity yet and capacity will vary depending on the complexity and implications of the proposed treatment. Consent is also not lawful if it has been coerced, "Duress, whatever form it takes, is a coercion of the will so as to vitiate consent." Hirani v Hirani [1982] EWCA Civ 1. For example, it could be argued that peer pressure in a school environment renders some children to be under duress. Battery may also occur if the patient has not been advised in broad terms of the nature of the procedure to be performed which was arguably the case for many who took Covid vaccines who were not advised that the treatments were intended to be gene therapies and it is doubtful that a 12yr old would understand that sort of treatment. However, so long as that basic requirement is satisfied, an allegation that the risks inherent in a medical procedure have not been disclosed to the patient can only found an action in negligence and not a crime Rogers v Whitaker [1992] HCA 58. The law around clinical negligence regarding the duty of disclosure is set out in Montgomery v Lanarkshire [2015] UKSC 11 from Paragraph 87. 87. The correct position, in relation to the risks of injury involved in treatment, can now be seen to be substantially that adopted in Sidaway by Lord Scarman, and by Lord Woolf MR in Pearce, subject to the refinement made by the High Court of Australia in Rogers v Whitaker, which we have discussed at paras 77-73. An adult person of sound mind is entitled to decide which, if any, of the available forms of treatment to undergo, and her consent must be obtained before treatment interfering with her bodily integrity is undertaken. The doctor is therefore under a duty to take reasonable care to ensure that the patient is aware of any material risks involved in any recommended treatment, and of any reasonable alternative or variant treatments. The test of materiality is whether, in the circumstances of the particular case, a reasonable person in the patient’s position would be likely to attach significance to the risk, or the doctor is or should reasonably be aware that the particular patient would be likely to attach significance to it. 88. The doctor is however entitled to withhold from the patient information as to a risk if he reasonably considers that its disclosure would be seriously detrimental to the patient’s health. The doctor is also excused from conferring with the patient in circumstances of necessity, as for example where the patient requires treatment urgently but is unconscious or otherwise unable to make a decision. It is unnecessary for the purposes of this case to consider in detail the scope of those exceptions. This case relates to adults of sound mind, and so prior to Gillick competency, the law is the same, but the consent of the Parent must be obtained and the test of materiality relates to a reasonable person in the Parent's position. Once Gillick competency is reached, the Parent is advocating for the child's position rather than advocating for their own views as parents. A parent can sue after the event for damages, but they can also sue for an injunction and parents combine their efforts in group litigation orders. Whilst going to court is expensive, parents can also launch a formal complaint or pre-action proceedings if they have time, which cost nothing but which may elicit a response from the school's or doctor's insurers. It would likely be a test case, but there is a case that parents could sue for the tort of malfeasance if they are prevented from exercising their parental responsibility and right to be their child's litigant friend. If more parents were aware of this, it could be the end of mass vaccinations in schools or at least schools may be required to respect those parents who wish to proceed with the consent process in the privacy of their GP's surgery rather than the peer pressure, rush and parental alienation that occur when vaccinations take place in school.

HEALING FREQUENCIES OF RED AND INFRARED LIGHT AKA PHOTOBIOMODULATION The claimed healing effects of red light are far-ranging. * Fight skin ageing, wrinkles, and cellulite and look 10 years younger * Lose fat (nearly twice as with diet and exercise alone) * Rid your body of chronic inflammation * Fight the oxidative damage that drives ageing * Increase strength, endurance, and muscle mass * Decrease pain * Combat hair loss * Build resilience to stress at the cellular level * Speed up wound/injury healing * Combat some autoimmune conditions and improve hormonal health * Optimize your brain function and mood * Overcome fatigue and improve energy levels Red and Infrared Light Therapy therapy have become mainstream and have now earned the more scientific name tag of Photobiomodulation i.e. controlling our biology with light. The work of Tiina Karu in Russia was instrumental in putting the mechanism [of redlight in infrared light therapy] on a sound footing by identifying cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondrial respiratory chain as a primary chromophore, and it introduced the concept of “retrograde mitochondrial signalling” to explain how a single relatively brief exposure to light could have effects on the organism that lasted for hours, days or even weeks SOURCE Scroll down for more information on: SKIN WRINKLES WEIGHT LOSS BRAIN INJURY WOMEN'S HEALTH ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION BONE HEALING If you want to cut to the chase, these are the recommended machines. 1 - Handheld device - TARGETTED TREATMENT AREA 2 - Desktop device - TARGETTED TREATMENT AREA (high power) 3 - FULL BODY TREATMENT (The owner has given us a special discount for NOTB members too - read on for details) WHICH FREQUENCIES DO I NEED? RED OR INFRARED? To understand the machine's suitability there are a few factors Frequencies (read on below) Dosage (make sure the machine is powerful enough - basically avoid cheap machines) Cost RED LIGHT (suitable for skin) Red light therapy involves exposure to fairly strong sources of visible red light in the 610-700nm range. Most of the studies and interest towards these frequencies relate to skin conditions, but there are many other applications. The absolute optimal single wavelengths are 620nm and 670nm as can be seen on the dark line on the graph which relates to The Cytochrome absorption - i.e. how the cells react to that frequency. Graph showing this light’s spectral output & red absorption peaks in cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria (T. Karu et al., 1995-2008) SOURCE The Red shading on the graph indicates the light that the RED LIGHT MAN's Pure red light machines give. The red shading has 4 blended peaks due to the four frequencies used. 610nm – 25% – Orange-Red 630nm – 25% – Red 660nm – 25% – Deep Red 680nm – 25% – Far Red If you only want a machine to treat skin-deep issues then this RED LIGHT MACHINE that covers the twin peaks with four frequencies is perfect. NEAR INFRARED (deep tissue penetration) Infrared light refers to photons with a slightly longer wavelength than red, being just outside of the human eyesight perception range. There are 3 types of infrared; Far, Mid and Near-infrared. We are only interested in near-infrared for the purposes of light therapy. Infrared light therapy works on a very similar mechanism to visible red, however infrared cannot be seen by the human eye. Infrared actually passes further inside the body than red, so it can reach muscles, bones, organs, and even the brain. As can be seen on the graph below, the green line shows how the 830nm and 760nm are absorbed more efficiently by cells than other wavelengths. COMBO - RED LIGHT AND INFRARED - suitable for skin and deep tissue I personally chose a combo machine to gain the full range of the benefits of red light and Infrared. Red light is useful for skin conditions or for reducing subcutaneous fat Infrared is useful for deeper penetration into tissues Using a device with Red light and Infrared frequencies means it is useful for tackling skin issues and penetrating deeper tissues. The graph below shows how the use of four frequencies within the RED INFRARED LIGHT COMBO unit follows the frequencies found to be most effective in studies. 620 25% – Orange-Red 670 25% – Deep Red 760 25% - Near Infrared 830 25% - Near Infrared HOW MUCH COULD THIS COST ME? FREE The primary basic option is exposing as much of the body to the sun's rays at sunrise and sunset. This God-given resource is free and best done naked! PAID The next option, which enables higher doses, as and when desired, comes via manmade light machines. Red light and Infrared machines vary from £15 to over £100,000 BOTTOM END - Cheap torches and handheld devices Most low-cost machines are ineffective and too weak. Be warned, when coming across red light therapy for the first time, many at first buy red lights that are weak and ineffective, later upgrading and wasting money in the process. TOP-END - PHOTOBIOMODULATION BEDS BY PRO THERAPISTS. The larger £100,000 machines are like sun beds that enable both sides of the body to have an even dose. These machines are great. These beds are perfect for therapists offering clients 20-minute sessions. The cost is about £50-£100 per 20-minute session. However, the same benefits from the same frequencies and same power output can be achieved with the home solution below. THE MIDRANGE SOLUTION During my research, I came across the devices below. They are powerful and affordable enabling frequent sessions for all the family. i.e. once bought they offer unlimited free sessions for the price of the electricity used.

FAQ LASOR OR LED? LEDs are far safer for home use. New technology enables a much stronger concentration of LED lights meaning LEDs are a long-lasting effective and durable solution. THE REDLIGHT MAN is at the forefront of these technical advances, hence the incredible power/effectiveness/price ratio. DOSAGE - HOW OFTEN? FOR HOW LONG? The closer the unit is to the body the stronger the dose. The longer the device is kept by the body the stronger the dose. To work out approximate doses we first need to know the strength of a machine. Then a set of calculations using strength and time can be used to work out the length of exposure. Light therapy dose is calculated with this formula: Power Density x Time = Dose Fortunately, most recent studies use standardised units to describe their protocol: Power Density in mW/cm² (milliwatts per centimeter squared) Time in s (seconds) Dose in J/cm² (Joules per centimeter squared) Power densities over about 200mw/cm² are not typically indicated for skin treatment as they are quite powerful. However thigh power densities sin the skin can be used for short periods when targeting deeper tissue. Power densities in the 500-1000+ range offer excellent penetration, useful for muscles, joints, brain tissue, etc. DOSING GUIDE (as you read on you'll see I have chosen powerful machine meaning lower times to achieve deep tissue healing) FURTHER RESEARCH If you need more info before buying, I recommend this book below BOOK DESCRIPTION Is Red Light Therapy a Miracle "Drug"? If there were a pill that was scientifically proven to help you look 10 years younger, lose fat, improve hormonal health, fight pain and inflammation, increase strength/endurance, heal faster, improve your brain health and increase your energy levels, it would be a billion-dollar blockbuster drug. Doctors all over the world would call it a "miracle drug," and millions of people would be told to start taking it. Here's the crazy part: That "drug" exists. But it's not a pill. It's red light therapy! Did you know that light has the power to heal your body and optimize your health? Of course, everyone knows about the importance of vitamin D from sunlight (from UV light). But few are aware that there is another type of light that may be just as vital to our health - red and near-infrared light.... read more and buy here ARTHRITIS Some sources of near infrared and red light have actually been used clinically for the treatment of arthritis since the late 1980s. By the year 2000, enough scientific evidence existed to recommend it for all arthritis sufferers1 regardless of cause or severity. Since then there have been several hundred quality clinical studies trying to refine the parameters for all joints that can be affected. Ensuring penetration to the joints The two main things affecting tissue penetration are the wavelengths and the strength of the light hitting the skin. In practical terms, anything below the wavelength of 600nm or over the wavelength of 950nm won’t penetrate deeply. The 740-850nm range seems to be the sweet spot for optimal penetration and around 820nm for maximum effects on the cell. The strength of the light (aka power density / mW/cm²) also affects penetration with 50mW/cm² over a few cm² area being a good minimum. So essentially, this boils down to a device with wavelengths in the 800-850nm range and greater than 50mW/cm² power density such as this machine. SKIN WRINKLES WEIGHT LOSS The mechanism of red light therapy for weight loss is quite simple – it increases metabolic rate. As mentioned in our descriptions of red and infrared light, light therapy stimulates our mitochondria (the cell’s power source) to increase glucose oxidation. This is because light between 600nm and 1000nm stimulates a key copper enzyme in our cells. This inevitably results in more ATP, or cellular energy, being produced. More glucose burned efficiently means less stress, and healthier cells, which results in a stronger metabolic rate – ultimately leading to fat loss. This effect can be seen in muscle tissue, as well as fat.

LEDs are safer for home use and are of the same frequency. "...Not only may new brain cells be formed after LLLT but the existing brain cells may be encouraged to form new synaptic connections in the process known as synaptogenesis or synaptic plasticity. If these processes can be reliably shown to occur after transcranial LLLT it opens the door to the treatment being applied to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and many diverse psychiatric disorders...." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5379852/ WOMEN'S HEALTH Many people experience relapses and recurrent infections, so finding a long-term solution is crucial. Both of the above potential effects (healing without inflammation and sterilising the skin of harmful micro-organisms) of red light may lead to a downstream effect – healthier skin and better resistance to future infections. Low amounts of candida/yeast are a normal part of our skin flora, usually causing no negative effects. Low levels of inflammation (from any cause) actually promote the growth of these yeast organisms specifically, and then the growth leads to more inflammation – a classic vicious cycle. The tiny increase in inflammation quickly escalates into a full-blown infection.6 SOURCE MEN'S HEALTH Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a highly common problem, affecting pretty much every man at one point or another. It has a profound effect on mood, feelings of self-worth and quality of life, leading to anxiety and/or depression. Although traditionally linked to older men and health issues, ED is rapidly increasing in frequency and has become a common problem even in young men. The topic we will address in this article is whether red light can be of any use to the condition. Many researchers note that vasodilation is stimulated by light therapy (and also by various other physical, chemical and environmental factors – the mechanism by which the dilation comes about is different for all the different factors though – some good, some bad). The reason that improved blood flow helps erectile dysfunction is obvious, and is necessary if you want to cure ED. Red light could potentially stimulate vasodilation through these mechanisms Nitric Oxide As mentioned above as a metabolic inhibitor, NO actually has various other effects on the body, including vasodilation[3,7]. NO is produced from arginine (an amino acid) in our diet by an enzyme called NOS. The problem with too much sustained NO (from stress/inflammation, environmental pollutants, high-arginine diets, and supplements) is it can bind to respiratory enzymes in our mitochondria, preventing them from using oxygen. This poison-like effect prevents our cells from producing energy and carrying out basic functions. The main theory explaining light therapy is that red/infrared light might be able to photodissociate NO from this position, potentially allowing mitochondria to function normally again. READ MORE BONE HEALING Red light therapy is a type of treatment that utilizes low wavelengths of red light in various forms of healing. It infiltrates the surface of the skin deep into the bones producing several functions including: Healing of bones Increasing mineral density of bones Reduces swelling and inflammation Reduces osteoporosis Improves general bone health Making bones stronger Pain attenuation Neural function restoration Immune modulation Bone repairment and remodeling Mechanism of Red-Light Therapy The mechanism of red-light therapy is simple; it works on stimulating the mitochondria, also known as 'the powerhouse of the cell' to produce more energy. After the light penetrates the skin, light energy is soon converted into biochemical energy, initiating a cascade of events resulting in many physiological changes. Most importantly, oxygen release, ATP production (extra energy), and DNA replication. This extra energy in the form of ATP goes into reducing oxidative stress, regeneration, and healing. This is particularly beneficial in the case of broken bones, where subjecting them to red light therapy can prove advantageous in rejuvenating the healing process by expanding blood circulation, collagen formation, and decreasing inflammation.2 REFERENCES Hawkins D, Houreld N, Abrahamse H.

Personally, I see old Charlie as a WEF WHO numpty. However, some more respecting citizens have started this campaign and we need to approach this subject in all the ways we can. This is their letter to The King We write respectfully as Your Majesty’s loyal subjects. During Your Majesty’s recent coronation, you swore on oath, before God, Parliament and your subjects, to yield none of our national powers to any international organisation. This means preserving our right to govern ourselves under the Bill of Rights and common law. We, as your subjects, declare loyalty to Your Majesty, but in return we expect you to keep your Oath to preserve our inalienable right to govern ourselves. Unless you act decisively, Your Majesty’s government will shortly breach our right to govern ourselves. It gave provisional approval in May 2021 to the World Health Organisation (WHO)’s Pandemic Preparedness Treaty and its accompanying International Health Regulations. This Treaty would confer unprecedented personal power upon the unelected Director of the WHO to be able to declare a worldwide health pandemic, and to mandate your government to take extreme measures to control any such pandemic by ordering national lockdowns, compulsory vaccination and the closing of national borders. The WHO is unelected and unaccountable. Moreover, the Pandemic Preparedness Treaty would give sole powers in any future pandemic to its Director, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The WHO has from the beginning sought to take worldwide powers. Its first Director, Brock Chisholm, spoke frequently on this issue, repeatedly insisting that, “to achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from men’s minds their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism and religious dogmas.” The WHO is a threat to the independence of the United Kingdom. On 24 May this year, WHO boss Tedros declared, “The world must prepare for a virus that is even deadlier than Covid. The threat of another variant emerging that causes new surges of disease and death remains, as does the threat of another pathogen emerging with even deadlier potential.” Yet one of the key lessons of the Covid-19 epidemic is how wrong the WHO was on so many issues. Crucially, the WHO recommended ‘lockdowns’ as the best means of controlling the spread of the virus. There is little or no evidence that these worked, but there is huge evidence of the vast damage they caused: many businesses and livelihoods ruined; the depression, mental illness and loneliness caused by isolation; children unable to go to school; the financial cost of propping up businesses etc. It has also been shown that people’s immune systems were weakened by isolation. Other serious mistakes were made by the WHO; they recommended mask-wearing; yet all studies to date show that wearing masks had no effect on the transmission of Covid-19. The WHO claims that they know best what to do in a pandemic, yet the case of Sweden shows how wrong they were. While nearly every European country blindly followed the WHO’s diktats, the Swedish Director of Health ignored their advice, merely advising the public to take sensible precautions. Their Covid ‘death rate’ was less than those of other countries, but without the horrors of a lockdown. As your government is preparing to give one man sole responsibility for the world’s response to any pandemic, we respectfully advise Your Majesty as follows. Tedros’s main claim to fame before being installed as WHO Director was as the second-in-command to the militant Tigray People’s Liberation Front. Later, as a health minister in the Ethiopian government, he failed disastrously to contain three separate cholera outbreaks, and covered up his errors. The New York Times report, 13 May 2017, ‘Candidate to Lead the WHO Accused of Covering Up Epidemics’, gives further details. Furthermore, Tedros only became WHO Director due to the Chinese government’s pressure on African, Asian and South American nations to vote for him. We respectfully refer Your Majesty to this passage in the Washington Post’s article of 25 October 2017, “China worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help Tedros defeat the United Kingdom candidate for the WHO job, David Nabarro. Tedros’s victory was also a victory for Beijing, whose leader Xi Jinping has made public his goal of flexing China’s muscle in the world.” Tedros is being given unprecedented powers by your government. No-one should be given such powers, but for these powers to be given to Tedros is surely unthinkable. Moreover, the WHO recently published a further document (WHO CA+ Bureau Draft) which, if implemented, would result in a highly centralised global public health governance which would not only further remove national sovereignty in a health emergency but also gives the WHO powers to monitor and censor dissenting voices (Article 18). In May this year, North Korea won a seat on the WHO Executive Board allowing the current supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, to influence the WHO’s agency, policies and appointments, which potentially includes an eventual replacement for Tedros. Unless Your Majesty’s government rescinds its provisional agreement by 27 November 2023, these totalitarian powers assumed by the WHO will take effect from 27 May 2024. We believe this would be totally unacceptable to your subjects as a breach of our Constitution. ​ The unelected WHO is wholly unaccountable to your government yet claims to have the authority to override the decisions of our democratically elected Parliament. Moreover, we believe that acceptance of these proposals via the Royal Assent or by any other means would be a direct violation of Your Majesty’s Coronation Oath to yield none of our national powers to any international organisation. From Magna Carta to the unrepealed Bill of Rights (1689) the principle is enshrined in our law that: “No foreign prince, person, prelate, state, or potentate hath, or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm.” Your Majesty’s subjects restored the Constitutional position in the Referendum on 23 June 2016 in which the people decided that we should be free of rule by the European Union. In order to uphold the law, we hereby exercise our constitutional right to petition you to stop our government giving any powers to the WHO or any other international organisation such as the World Economic Forum, the United Nations or any of the international banking organisations which are promoting central bank digital currencies and looking to replace cash payments. To make Your Majesty aware of the strength of public feeling on this issue, we have devised the ‘Petition the King’ campaign to encourage individuals to appeal directly to you to protect our inalienable rights for exclusive, national self-governance. This will take the form of distributing many thousands of Petition postcards addressed to you, opposing the giving of Royal Assent to any legislation or other measure giving powers to the WHO or any international organisation. We also plan to issue regular bulletins on the immediacy and danger of your government ceding powers to the WHO. We seek Your Majesty’s written assurance that you will remain faithful to your most solemn oath to keep our nation free from foreign rule so that we, the people, are then able to maintain our loyalty to Your Majesty as our King. We are, Sir, Your Majesty’s humble and obedient servants. Graham Wood Chairman The Petition Committee See the Petition the King website here: https://www.petitiontheking.org/our-campaign

I think most of us now realise that the reason the world's countries responded to an apparent world emergency in perfect lockstep, was not due to the leaders of 150 or more countries leaders having the same idea on how to respond at the same time, but due to contracts they had previously signed with the WHO. These contracts forced a response that had to obey the WHO's take on the pandemic they had themselves declared. The plan worked well. The few leaders who did not obey often died suddenly or faced internal resurrection by well-funded political opposition. If you didn't catch Tanzania President John Magufi's hysterical speech as he read out the results of his testing of the validity of the C19 PCR tests by sending in fake samples, you can see it here. A must-watch. Spurred on by their 2020 Plandemic success, the WHO have increased their ambitions and made a grab for even more control. In summary by declaring a 'Pandemic' they gain control over our elected governments. The extent of the WHO's embedded power via bribes and corruption and well-placed insiders is displayed by the lack of resistance at the governmental level, making in comparison the WW2 collaborating French Vichy government look like national heroes. It is quite clear from recent events that we should have doubts trusting our own government irrespective of political persuasion. Yet, as they say, keep your enemies close. Handing over any power to distance entities, whether in Geneva or further afield, is contemptuous to all that we stand for and all those who fought and died over many centuries to keep our country independent. The UK petition started by Tess Lawrie of the World Health Council is just one way to fight back.

The amendments that were adopted on 27 May 2022 have not been debated in or voted on by Parliament. The UK has the authority to reject them under Article 61 of the IHR, but any such rejection must be within 18 months of their adoption. Parliament must be given the opportunity to vote on whether to reject the amendments that have already been adopted, and also the 307 proposed amendments that are currently being negotiated by the UK delegates to the 76th World Health Assembly.

This 2020 speech by John Mugufi had many of us crying with laughter. The president had done some basic tests on the validity of the c19 PCR test by sending back to the test station swabs that were not of human origin... He was one of the few World leaders that defied the WHO's pandemic mandates. My post via the Not On The Beeb Telegram channel on March 17th 2021 My hero of 2020 The funniest speech of the year as he ridiculed the PCR test by sending in samples of fruit and announcing live on TV the positive results. Did his speech and non-compliance on the world Covid stage cause his death? Is this murder?

Understanding PTSD and Current Treatments PTSD is a mental health condition characterized by intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, hyperarousal, and avoidance behaviors. The condition can significantly impact an individual’s daily life, causing emotional distress, impaired relationships, and a diminished sense of well-being. Traditional treatment approaches for PTSD typically include psychotherapy, medication, and cognitive-behavioral interventions. However, some individuals may seek alternative therapies to complement or enhance their recovery process. The Emergence of Bee Sound Therapy Bee sound therapy, also known as apitherapy, is an alternative healing method that harnesses the calming effects of bees’ sounds and vibrations. Bees produce a gentle, low-frequency humming sound as they fly and communicate with one another. These vibrations are believed to have a soothing and therapeutic effect on the human nervous system. How Bee Sound Therapy Works Bee sound therapy involves creating a controlled environment where individuals can experience the gentle hum of bees in a safe and supportive setting. This therapy can be conducted in various ways, such as using specially designed beehive enclosures, audio recordings of bee sounds, or observing live bees from a distance. It has been scientifically proven that bees are most alert and happy when buzzing in the middle key of “C.” Benefits of Bee Sound Therapy for PTSD Deep Relaxation: The low-frequency vibrations emitted by bees can induce a state of deep relaxation, helping to reduce anxiety and tension associated with PTSD. This therapy promotes a sense of calm and peace, allowing individuals to feel more at ease in their bodies and minds. Grounding and Mindfulness: Bee sound therapy can serve as a grounding technique, enabling individuals to focus on the present moment. By directing attention to soothing vibrations and sounds, individuals can develop mindfulness skills that aid in managing intrusive thoughts and overwhelming emotions. Sensory Stimulation: For individuals with PTSD, sensory stimulation can play a crucial role in their healing process. The gentle hum of bees provides a non-invasive and natural way to stimulate the senses, diverting attention away from distressing memories and creating a positive sensory experience. Social Connection: Some bee-sound therapy sessions may involve group activities or shared experiences, fostering a sense of community and support. This social aspect can be particularly beneficial for individuals with PTSD, who may benefit from a safe space to interact and engage with others who have experienced similar challenges.

MHRA YELLOW CARD REPORTING SUMMARY UP TO 30th AUG 2023 The stats have been taken from the new interactive format data Yellow Card Adverse Event Reports Pfizer-mono 177,307 Pfizer-bivalent 5034 AZ 248,490 Moderna-mon 43,009 Moderna-bivalent 5463 Novavax 82 Unknown brand 2602 TOTAL: 481,987 people have had injury reports filed, which is an increase of 329 in 5 weeks. Some general statistics derived from the MHRA Yellow Card reports 74.7% of these reports have been classified as SERIOUS by the MHRA 12.9% of all the serious reports are of unkown age 1 in 112 people injected filed a Yellow Card Adverse Event 1 in 150 people injected filed an adverse event classified as SERIOUS* 1 in 187 reports are associated with a fatality, which may be less than 10% of actual figures according to MHRA The problem with the above stats is that all the official bodies that deal with collecting this data with the UK and USA, admit that only 1-10% of incidents are reported. That means the real numbers are up to 100X greater than the numbers above. How can this be possible? 1- First of all doctors or patients need to connect the injury to the cause. Bullets are easily attributed to a gun whereas for example, heart attacks and heart failure have many hard-to-pinpoint causes. 2- Doctors need approx 45 minutes to file a report. A European doctor told me apologetically that she had simply given up filing them as one she had no time, and secondly, at the end of the 45 min process she often got an error losing all the data meaning she needed to start again.

Over 405 of the above fatalities are of ‘Unknown Age’ which is 15.7% of all fatalities 147 are of ‘Unknown Sex’ which is 5.7% of all fatalities As we can see by the graph below, reporting on deaths is falling off with time. Is this because less people are dying as a result of the vaccine? Or, is this because due to the time difference, less people are connecting the dots to the most probable cause?

Most had the Pfizer jab which explains the weighting below. It is also important to know that many categories of vaccine injury (with less than 5 reports per type) have been “retracted´ and reported as just under 5. i.e 1, 2, 3 or 4 are just reported as Less than 5.

This is our petition requesting urgent investigation and analysis of the C19 Vaccines To the British Police, Judiciary, Crown Prosecution Service and members of Parliament. The people of Britain (and the world) request the British police seize multiple sample vials of the C19 vaccines and conduct an immediate open, independent and detailed analysis of the contents. ​ The signatories of this petition back the work of lawyers Lois Bayliss and Philip Hyland working alongside Dr Samuel White, Mark Sexton and team submitting evidence under Hammersmith Police crime number: 6029679/21 1 - Why are so many people suffering adverse events and death after COVID-19 vaccinations? ​ 2 - Why are so many of our fittest sportspeople collapsing and suffering myocarditis, heart attacks and death post-vaccination? ​ 3 - Why have the vaccine manufacturers withheld ingredients? Undisclosed ingredients are illegal and involve the deception of the public. ​ 4 - Why have independent scientific reports of Graphene Oxide and other contaminants not been publically investigated? ​ 5 - Why are the various batches of the vaccine clearly different? As per VAERS data, most adverse reactions are coming from a few batches. This clearly indicates suspect manufacturing. ​ 6 - With all these doubts concerning safety, why is the vaccine rollout continuing in British schools 7 - As of December 6th 2022 why has such a product with such a record been authorised for our youngest children between 6 months and 4 years old? ​ NOTE>>> If you are a nurse, doctor, health professional, scientist, or have relevant qualifications, please sign the Health expert's petition I, the undersigned, request the British police seize samples of the vaccine and instigate an urgent public scientific review, regarding the safety, legitimacy and ethical implications of the ingredients and the biotechnology that are causing widespread serious adverse reactions post-COVID-19 vaccination. ​ Concerning the vaccination programme, we request an immediate injunction forcing a nationwide pause on the roll-out for all age ranges until we have clear answers from the police investigations.

Do we need a water distiller? I’m in two minds. On one, hand distillers are noisy and use a lot of electric. On the other hand, we need clean water and distillers deliver this. The question really is do we need to clean our tap water and if so, what is the best method? The ideal scenario is drinking spring water direct from the source. You might be surprised to find you have spring close to you. Collecting water directly from the source means it will also be 'structured', meaning it is highly bioavailable which means it also has healing qualities. The next best is bought spring water, but you must check the producer. I personally would not trust any bottle produced by the conglomerates. We tested two brands of water across two nations, bottled directly from independent springs. We found them both contaminated by the same fibres. Both brands are owned by the same swiss food/coffee corporation. Fibres that we believe are most probably hydrogel-filled carbon nanotubes. Dr T also found the same fibres in the blue surgical face masks as shown in these videos. The good news is that the fibres are large, almost visible to the naked eye and easily caught by water filtering. Our basic tests confirmed filtering did get rid of these fibres. Other than acquiring trusted spring water, the next best option is probably the top-end and highly-priced Berkey water filters. These work well and are affordable to run once you’ve paid the initial £400 or so cost to buy one. However, some doubt their efficiency and the cheaper alternatives have mixed reviews. However, this might be due to copies being sold on amazon and ebay so don't buy a Berkey there! (more on Berkey in upcoming emails) Jug filters are definitely better than not using them. But they are not totally effective. Even the admired 'Zero' filter failed to eliminate fluoride in tests run by Mike Adams. As he said previously: "...Fluoride is an extremely difficult element to work with due to its high reactivity (which is one reason why you probably shouldn't drink it). It is also very difficult to remove from water..." What about tap water? Tap water is far from pure, made worse by the toxic chemicals that have been added to ‘clean’ it. Roland Gilmore sent this detailed run down on the state of UK tap water. Hi Mark There are a number of problems with mains "drinking water" quality that followed on from the government selling off these monopolies. At privatisation, The Drinking Water Inspectorate was formed. Sounds reassuring however; DWI cannot tell water companies what to test for. It is in the water company's gift to decide what they test for. I did an FoI request some years ago on this subject and that was the response. My request was centered around agricultural chemical runoff including glyphosate and the two most common pesticides. Back in the early 2010s there was an EU proposal to require water companies and municipalities to remove pharmaceutical residues from drinking/potable water. As you should know, any new EU Directive must be agreed by all member states. The Water Companies said that it would add £80 a year to domestic bills. The UK Government objected on the grounds of cost and so, the Directive was never adopted. The situation with contaminated mains water is probably at its worst in London. Most of London's drinking water is abstracted from the non-tidal Thames to the west of the city at Hampton. Upstream there are 125 sewage treatment works that discharge to the Thames. Sewage treatment processes do not break down pharmaceutical residues such as estrogen from the millions of women taking birth control pills, metformin from those with diabetes and powerful cancer drugs. Scientific research has shown that estrogen in particular is leading to aquatic organisms in the river (and tributaries) changing gender and fish becoming hermaphrodites. There are also problems with high levels of phosphates and nitrates. The only plant extracting phosphates is at Reading. It is commercially successful. As you point out, distillation is expensive because of the energy required. Activated charcoal filters do remove many pollutants but also remove some beneficial, bioavailable nutrients. The only economically sustainable, long term solution is legislation requiring water companies to supply truly wholesome drinking water. Kind regards, Roland Gilmore PS Cocaine residue has been found in molluscs in the Thames Tideway. Swimming in the Thames is risky, particularly after discharges from Mogden STW (believe it or not, allowed by the Environment Agency). Also, not every sewer overflow is being connected to the Thames Tideway Tunnel (e.g. at Barnes) Rowers at Putney receive alerts from Thames Water when Mogden is releasing untreated water. Chlorine Chlorine can be filtered out from drinking water, though it also needs to be taken out from shower water. Chlorine can be neutralised by using Vitamin C in shower heads in the same way as pure Vit C powder can be added to water tanks or containers. Very little is needed. If you can’t get rid of the chlorine before ingesting it, or if you’ve been swimming in a chlorine-rich swimming pool, a high dose of Vitamin C will help the body detox from what has been absorbed. Flouride Flouride is harder to get rid of and many standard tabletop filters fail on this level. Distilling is how we can get guaranteed purity. Water reaches boiling point, the water evaporates leaving the contaminants behind. The steam, which is pure H20, then is condensed back into pure water. The same trick is used in desalination plants turning seawater into drinking water. Distilled water is also too pure and needs remineralising. The distillers we feature have these winning attributes.

Unpacking Video To conclude, there is no perfect option but for sure, never drink tap water. I'd ask locally where the nearest spring is. This is a US service to find a local spring. If anyone knows of a way to find UK springs other than asking locally, please let me know. UPDATE: (Sept 23 - thanks David W) UK drinkable springs. https://www.facebook.com/Britains.Drinkable.Springs/ Professor Michael Clark wrote back with this information. In response to your request for publically available spring water I would recommend the Malvern Hills springs of which there are several. The public has access to filling up containers with the water as there is no restriction placed. This could change but for the moment Malvern Hills spring water is still freely available. Kind regards Professor Michael Clark Nothing beats structured spring water. In future posts, I will share some details on how to make structured water at home.

Republishing this article from May 23rd 2022 WIRELESS RADIATION AND OSTEOPOROSIS Arthur has done it again. After suffering a fracture himself he did a deep dive discovering research that bones are breaking at an unprecedented rate, By Arthur Firstenberg I was astonished by the number of people who contacted me after I broke my arm telling me they had broken theirs too -- some of them this year, and others within the last few years. It occurred to me to wonder: has there been a significant increase in osteoporosis and bone fractures around the world? and if so, is this yet another health effect caused by the use of cell phones and their infrastructure irradiating our bones as well as the rest of our bodies? I remembered reading some fascinating facts about bones in the groundbreaking 1985 book, The Body Electric, written by orthopedic surgeon Robert O. Becker. Bones, he discovered, are semiconductors, and they owe their electrical properties to being doped with tiny amounts of copper. The atoms of copper, he found, bond electrically to both apatite crystals and collagen fibers -- the two main components of bone -- and hold them together, “much as wooden pegs fastened the pieces of antique furniture to each other.” “Osteoporosis,” wrote Becker, “comes about when copper is somehow removed from the bones. This might occur not only through chemical/metabolic processes, but by a change in the electromagnetic binding force, allowing the pegs to ‘fall out.’ It’s possible that this could result from a change in the overall electrical fields throughout the body or from a change in those surrounding the body in the environment.” I also remembered, from the old Soviet Union literature, summarized in my 1997 book, Microwaving Our Planet, that radio frequency radiation redistributes metals throughout the body. With these facts in mind, I have searched the world’s medical literature for studies on the incidence of both osteoporosis and fractures, and the evidence seems fairly conclusive: (1) There has been an enormous increase in the incidence of both osteoporosis and bone fractures of all types throughout the world in children and adults since about 1950; (2) the incidences of both continue to rise, worldwide; (3) most studies published in the past couple of decades have found that osteoporosis in children is correlated with the amount of time spent daily looking at screens; (4) rates of osteoporosis do not correlate with the amount of time children spend sitting but not looking at screens; and (5) these trends are independent of the amount of exercise people get. The authors of these studies have been at a loss to explain their findings, but they are easily explained when one remembers the electrical properties of bones, and the effects that cell phone and computer screens, all emitting radiation, are likely to have on bones and on the copper atoms within them -- and that exposure to radiation from radio, TV, radar, and (more recently) cell tower antennas has increased tremendously since World War II. Here is a sampling of the studies I have collected: Louis V. Avioli reviewed the world’s literature in 1991. During the second half of the twentieth century, he found, both osteoporosis and fracture rates had risen dramatically in the United States, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Italy, the UK, Belgium, Australia, and elsewhere. The incidence rate of hip fractures in the United States had been increasing by about 40% per decade. (1) M.L. Grundill and M.C. Burger, in 2021, found that the incidence rate of hip fractures in a population in South Africa had more than doubled in men and almost sextupled in women compared to what had been reported in 1968. (2) Emmanuel K. Dretakis et al. found that the annual number of hip fractures in Crete increased 21% in just four years, from 1982 to 1986, while the population over 50 remained the same. (3) Hiroshi Koga et al. examined the records of children aged 6 to 14 in Niigata, Japan. The incidence rate of all fractures more than doubled from the early 1980s to the early 2000s in both girls and boys, and almost tripled in girls in junior high school. (4) ​ P. Lüthje et al. found that the incidence rate of hip fractures throughout Finland quadrupled between 1968 and 1988. (5) ​ In 2012 Ambrish Mithal and Parjeet Kaur found that hip fracture rates had increased two- to three-fold throughout Asia during the previous 30 years. (6) ​ Hiroshi Hagino et al. found that hip fracture rates in Tottori Prefecture, Japan had risen by almost 40% between 1986 and 1992, and by more than 60% in men and about 50% in women between 1986 and 2001. Increases in fracture rates occurred not only in the elderly, but in people in their 30s and 40s. (7) ​ In 1989 Karl J. Obrant et al. did an analysis of fracture trends in Malmö, Sweden, where all X-rays have been saved since the beginning of the twentieth century. They found that the yearly number of fractures in that city had increased seven-fold between 1951 and 1985, and the incidence rate of fractures among children had doubled between 1950 and 1979. “There are signs that there is a deterioration of the quality of the skeleton in successive generations,” wrote the authors. “With the same or even diminished trauma, we sustain more serious and more comminuted fractures today than previously.” The increase had nothing to do with changing estrogen levels, because fracture rates had increased even more in men than in women. The daily consumption of both calcium and Vitamin D had increased during that time. But the incidence of hip fractures was higher in cities than in rural environments where, we know, there was less radiation. (8) Haiyu Shao et al., in 2015, looking at hours per day spent playing video games by Chinese adolescents, found that adolescents with longer video game time were more likely to have lower bone mass density in their legs, trunk, pelvis, spine, and whole body. (9) Anne Winther et al., studying 15- to 18-year-olds in Tromsø, Norway in 2010-2011, found that longer screen time was associated with lower bone mass density in both boys and girls, regardless of the amount of daily physical activity, calcium intake, vitamin D, alcohol consumption, smoking habits, height or weight. (10) Sebastien Chastin, examining youths aged 8 to 22 in the U.S. in 2005-2006, found that screen-based sitting was associated with lower bone mass density in hips and spine. Non-screen-based sitting was not associated with lower bone mass density. (11) Natalie Lundin et al. found that annual incidence rates of pelvic and hip socket fractures in Sweden increased 25% from 2001 to 2016, and that increasing incidence rates were seen in all age groups. (12) Daniel Jerrhag et al. found that the incidence rate of forearm fractures in Sweden was 23% higher in 2010 compared with 1999, and that the increase was greater in men and women 17 to 64 years of age than in the elderly. (13) Michiel Herteleer et al. found that the incidence rate of pelvic and hip socket fractures in Belgium doubled between 1988 and 2006, and rose another 26% by 2018. (14) Neeraj M. Patel found that the annual incidence rate of fractures in children aged 6 to 18 in New York State almost quadrupled between 2006 and 2015. (15) A reader alerted me to research proving that electromagnetic radiation causes osteoporosis. A 2016 study in Turkey by Kunt et al. found that electrical workers had significantly lower bone mass density, as well as an increased tendency to severe osteoporosis, than a control population. The average age of both groups was 38. Sieroń-Stołtny et al., in an astounding experiment in Poland, kept 10 young rats in a plastic cage for 28 days and put one Nokia 5110 mobile phone underneath the cage. The phone operated in silent mode and was only turned on for 15 seconds every half hour between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and again between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. In other words, the animals were exposed for a total of four minutes per day for 28 days. Ten control animals were in an identical cage but without a mobile phone beneath it. At the end of the experiment, the rats were sacrificed and examined. The vertebrae of the exposed rats weighed on average 12.5% less than the vertebrae of the unexposed rats. The leg bones of the exposed rats had on average 12.44% less calcium and fractured more easily. Most of the calcium loss occurred during the first week of exposure. Blood analysis also indicated that collagen was lost from the bones. In 2013, Ahmet Aslan et al., in Turkey, exposed 30 five-month-old rats, whose legs had been broken, to mobile phone radiation for 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week, for 8 weeks. At the end of 8 weeks, healing was significantly delayed in the exposed compared to the unexposed rats. In 2011, Fernando Saraví, in Argentina, found that carrying a mobile phone on your hip causes osteopenia in that hip. Men who carried their phone on their right hip had lower bone mass density in their right hip than in their left hip. Men who carried their phone on their left hip had lower bone mass density in their left hip. And from readers: Marie-Reine, in Québec, broke her left humerus in three pieces on April 2. A friend of hers in Nova Scotia broke her humerus in March. Jackie, in Wisconsin, writes that she developed osteoporosis after she moved into a house with radio towers outside her bedroom window. Leonore, in Massachusetts, writes: “A friend who never broke a bone in his life, recently broke his femur when he tripped playing basketball.” Sara, age 55, wonders why she suddenly became susceptible to breaking bones in 2018. She broke a bone in her right foot that year, and then in 2021 she broke a bone in her left foot. “The thing that was so odd about both of these incidents is that I did almost nothing to provoke it. In one case I was trying to keep my sandal from getting sucked off my foot by the current during a rafting trip. All I was doing was flexing my foot. The second time I just tripped while inside my house, walking on a flat surface and I ended up with a fracture.” Denise, age 66, broke her hip on April 19. Her father and mother, in their eighties, both broke hips several years ago, and this March her mother broke her other hip. Marilyn, in California, writes that “Despite a strong exercise history and a strong healthy diet, I have been plagued with two broken hips (femur necks) and a fractured shoulder” since “a cluster of cell towers were installed 100 feet from my bedroom.” WIFI ROUTERS AND MICROWAVE OVENS Don, in Idaho, writes: “This year we relocated our seedlings next to the router in our pantry for convenience. We have experienced an across-the-board failure with them. Skinny plants, some of them dead. This includes tomato seedlings. Your email really struck a chord with me. Thank you!” Carolyn, in France, writes: “This is the first time I have ever heard anyone else say that they had stomach pain from eating restaurant food that had been microwaved! I have realized the same thing -- that foods that I normally eat with no problem, cause me stomach pain, often severe when I eat it in a restaurant in which it has most likely been cooked or reheated in a microwave. I can usually sense it with the first bite I take as well -- it just doesn’t feel right… I have to be so careful about ordering things that will be definitely cooked fresh, and request that nothing be heated in a microwave. Sometimes I forget though, and then I pay for it.” Read Arthurs ground breaking book INVISIBLE RAINBOW Here is a brief book summary https://www.notonthebeeb.co.uk/post/invisible-rainbow The last 39 newsletters, including this one, are available for viewing on the Newsletters page of the Cellular Phone Task Force.

NOTB 'BOOK OF THE CENTURY' The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life (2017) by Arthur Firstenberg TRANSLATIONS OF THE SUMMARY ARE AVAILABLE IN: ENGLISH - FRENCH - ITALIAN - SPANISH - GERMAN Arabic Hungarian Chinese Czech Bulgarian Portugese I've bought 5 copies of The Invisible Rainbow for friends and family. However, it is a doorstopper of a book, that I know a few friends admire on the coffee table, but have not read. A large proportion of the book is the extensive reference section to back every droplet of fact, as we are taken on a wild journey through the history of electricity to a world-view changing conclusion. For those that don't have time, or would just like a taster, here is a 20 min fast-read summary of the key points within the book. The whole book in a few easy-to-consume bite-size chunks. But first here are two forewards to whet your appetite. The first is from Dr T and the second is from Dr Andrew Goldsworthy DR T - RETIRED GP It is hard to comprehend how systematic and deliberate the silencing of the harm that electromagnetic radiation causes has been. It is not accidental that the very youngest have been 'educated' into regarding many of the devices that have incredibly high EMF radiation as essential for their lives. Whatever age we are we have been programmed to accept more and more EMF radiation into our lives. The other side of this is that those canaries in the coal mines that have been suffering from severe effects of the EMF radiation have been mocked and dismissed by all forms of the biased media. Startling instances of men, women and children suffering harm have been suppressed. Moving forward to our present time we can now see that so many of these devices that are causing harm are also part of surveillance capitalism. It is little wonder that this agenda of 'smart' everything would be pushed forward regardless of any harm it may be causing. This book is so valuable in that it tells the story from the beginning and is immensely readable (yes, I know it's long), and then has all that evidence to back up what is written. I knew this book was important when it arrived as a gift from Mark, and I have been recommending it to others ever since. Knowledge is power. Dr T DR ANDREW GOLDSWORTHY RETIRED BIOLOGICAL SAFETY OFFICER IMPERIAL COLLEGE - LONDON This is an excellent summary of Arthur Firstenberg's book "The Invisible Rainbow", which is itself a much longer summary of the timeline linking the exposure of animals (especially humans) and plants to a wide range of illnesses and metabolic disorders. These include microwave sickness (aka electromagnetic hypersensitivity) diabetes, heart attacks, cancer and many more. The villain of the piece is pulsed and other alternating electromagnetic fields in the environment that interfere with electric currents used by our own bodies and, in particular, the electric currents that flow through our cell membranes. Their main effect is to make these membranes leak. This short circuits and reduces the normal voltage (trans-membrane potential) that provides the energy for most of our bodily functions In effect, they starve us of our energy and this can have all sorts of unexpected effects. For example, the mitochondria (the cells' powerhouses) use an electrochemical gradient across their membranes generated from the food we eat to make ATP, which is the main energy currency of our cells. But this ATP is used by the external membrane of the cell to absorb nutrients and excrete toxic byproducts, So, not only do these electromagnetic fields starve us of energy (giving, among other things, symptoms of chronic fatigue) they also poison us with our own toxins. Also, since ATP is needed by our immune systems, we become more susceptible to disease and also to cancer, which arises from the inability of the immune system to weed out precancerous cells. That said, the body does try to fight back. In particular, the inflow of calcium ions through our leaking cell membranes stimulates metabolic activity in general and repair mechanisms in particular. If you think about it, this is the only way that a cell can "know" that its membrane has been damaged. But the increased metabolic activity needed to repair the damage has side effects, particularly on the cells of the nervous system. Here the extra activity makes our sensory cells send false signals to the brain to give us the symptoms of electrical hypersensitivity, including ADHD as our brain cells become hyperactive and pain and false feelings of heat or cold anywhere on our body. When the inner ear is affected, we may experience tinnitus, loss of balance and all the symptoms of motion sickness, including nausea. It is not nice to be electrosensitive and no one knows this more than Arthur Firstenberg, who is the most electrosensitive person that I have ever come across Please read on to see more details and the observations and experiments that inspired Arthur to write his book, "The Invisible Rainbow".

About Arthur Firstenberg the author Arthur Firstenberg is a scientist and journalist who is at the forefront of a global movement to tear down the taboo surrounding this subject. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa from Cornell University with a degree in mathematics, he attended the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine from 1978 to 1982. Injury by X-ray overdose cut short his medical career. For the past thirty-seven years he has been a researcher, consultant, and lecturer on the health and environmental effects of electromagnetic radiation, as well as a practitioner of several healing arts. About the Book This remarkably well-documented and -referenced book is a cornerstone in the sense that it traces the deployment of electricity in our civilization, in terms of its interaction with living organisms, from its initial discovery in the 1740s all the way to our time, and even projected into the future. It should be noted that the title refers to the entire electromagnetic spectrum comprising the colors of the rainbow, including the invisible frequencies such as radio frequencies and the fields generated around conducting wires. THE SUMMARY PART 1 1. Captured in a Bottle 1746 saw the first discoveries involving electricity in Europe. Leyden’s experiment consisted of revealing the electric fluid by means of rubbing the hand on a glass globe spun rapidly on its axis. The static electricity thus produced made a great impression in the schools, fairs and on private persons who had the financial means to acquire this device, with some producing electrical arcs and others brief electric shocks. The phenomenon was so popular that it was not socially acceptable to suggest that electricity could be dangerous, even though the shocks caused headaches, nosebleeds and fatigue in certain experimenters and in the animals used in the tests. Society was taken over by electromania and the most fervent exponents of being electroshocked in good company between two glasses of champagne began to perceive harmful symptoms. In spite of this, the medical establishments equipped themselves with the Leyden flask (the forerunner of the condenser), for the purpose of carrying out medical experiments for abortions or other applications. In this way a completely new field of knowledge emerged concerning the biological effects of electricity on people, plants and animals – knowledge that was then much more extensive than that of our contemporary physicians, who daily see patients suffering from the effects of electricity without recognizing them for what they are, and who are generally ignorant of the very existence of this knowledge. 2. The Deaf to Hear, and the Lame to Walk Noting the – rarely positive, and far more often negative – effects of the application of electrical voltage on living organisms, the researchers and physicians concluded that living organisms function in conjunction with electricity. Certain cures were brought about using electricity – as for example in 1851, when the neurologist Duchenne treated deafness in dozens of patients by means of locally applied electrical impulses. Experiments were carried out – notably by Volta in Italy, as well as other researchers in the western world – which found evidence that the nervous, cardiac, cardiovascular, gustatory, sudatory and other systems could be stimulated using the electricity produced by galvanic couples. It was found that the number of curative effects were significantly fewer than the harmful effects that were listed, which include the symptoms of electro-sensitivity (ES) known today, such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, mental confusion, fatigue, depression, insomnia, etc. 3. Electrical Sensitivity The French botanist Thomas-François Dalibard – who carried out electrical experiments on living organisms – confided in a letter to Benjamin Franklin dated 1762 that he was unable to continue his work as his own organism had developed an intolerance to electricity. He was one of the first people to be officially declared electro-hypersensitive (EHS). Reading that account, it is clear that this botanist must have been severely affected. Other professors and researchers had the same unfortunate experience and were thus forced to stop their work. Even the famous Benjamin Franklin was affected by a neurological illness during his researches on electricity from 1753 onwards, and the symptoms are largely reminiscent of electro-hypersensitivity. So much so that, at the end of the 18th century, it was generally acknowledged that electricity could make people ill, depending on the sex, the morphology and the physical condition of the individual concerned. It had similarly been observed that certain individuals reacted strongly to changes in the weather, which often correlated with electrical changes in the atmosphere. The names of some of those individuals are still famous today – among them Christopher Columbus, Dante, Charles Darwin, Benjamin Franklin, Goethe, Victor Hugo, Leonardo da Vinci, Martin Luther, Michelangelo, Mozart, Napoleon, Rousseau and Voltaire. 4. The Road Not Taken During the 1790s, science was faced with an identity crisis regarding the interpretation and unification of the four different fluids – electricity, light, magnetism and heat. Where electricity was concerned, on the one hand there was Luigi Galvani, who regarded electricity as an integral part of the living organism, and on the other Volta's theory that electricity was only a “secondary” effect of internal chemical reactions in the living organism. Volta, the inventor of the extremely useful electric battery, which had the potential to become a great money-spinner, succeeded in winning the argument against the more global view of the interaction between electricity and the living organism. 5. Chronic Electrical Illness From the end of the 19th century onwards, urban landscapes were transformed by the installation of telegraph lines throughout the industrialized countries. This technology used voltages of the order of 80 volts on a single conductor, with the return current being earthed. That period saw the emergence of the first stray currents to which living beings were exposed. It was then that one saw the appearance of diseases of civilization such as neurasthenia, which afflicted Frank Lloyd Wright and Theodore Roosevelt, among other well-known figures. It should be noted in passing that neurasthenia is very similar to electrohypersensitivity, which is the more modern term for the same sensitivity to electricity. Around half of the telegraphists who were employed to manipulate the electrical current sent through the lines, and were thus exposed to very strong electromagnetic fields, were afflicted by telegraphic sickness. Once again, the symptoms were the same as those of EHS. Later on, in around 1915, it was the telephone operators who were experiencing the same symptoms – for they were exposed to electromagnetic fields from the communications for hours on end at their desks. In 1989, it was noted that in Winnipeg 47% of the telephone operators were suffering from the same symptoms. However, in 1894, the noted Viennese psychiatrist Sigmund Freud wrote an article whose effect was disastrous for all the unfortunates who suffered from telegraphic sickness, neurasthenia, microwave syndrome or EHS. Rather than seeing the external cause ‒ which was electromagnetic pollution – he attributed these symptoms to disordered thoughts or poorly controlled emotions. As a result, today millions of citizens affected by electronic smog are being medicated instead of reducing their exposure to this pollutant. Sigmund Freud renamed neurasthenia – which was known to be caused by electricity – as a neurosis anxiety, an anxiety attack or a panic attack. This opened the way for the reckless deployment of electrification to continue unimpeded. It should be noted that in Russia, neurasthenia is listed as an environmental illness, as Freud's damaging redefinition was rejected there. 6. The Behavior of Plants Sir Jagadis Chunder Bose and other researchers conducted numerous electrical experiments on plants and other living organisms, whose results showed definite effects. He discovered that the nerves of plants or animals display variable behavior and that their resistivity can vary considerably, depending on the application of the current and its polarity. He also noted that the intensity of current necessary to modify the conductivity of the nerves is infinitesimal in terms of the voltage applied – something in the order of 0.3 microamperes (0.3*10-6). That current is significantly less than the current that is induced through a telephone conversation using a cell phone. Bose likewise discovered that the threshold of a current’s bioactivity is 1 femtoampere (1*10-15)! As this researcher was also familiar with radio-frequency transmissions, he carried out an experiment in which a plant was exposed to a radio signal of 30 MHz at a distance of about 218 yards (200 meters) and found that the plant's growth was retarded during the emission period. He likewise showed that the circulation of sap in the plant slowed down when it was irradiated by the same radio signal. 7. Acute Electrical Illness During the 1880s, London was supplied with direct current, but certain physicists had discovered that the distribution of alternating current generated fewer ohmic losses in the wires. There followed a battle of the currents, even though many scientists, including Edison, strongly criticized the more dangerous effects of alternating current. Ironically, it’s precisely because alternating current is more harmful that it is used in the electric chair. And as everyone knows, the electrical current of the power grid is... alternating! In 1889, full-scale electrification was carried out in the USA and, shortly thereafter, in Europe. That same year, as if by chance, doctors were inundated with cases of flu, which had until then appeared only infrequently. The victims’ symptoms were far more neurological in nature, resembling neurasthenia, and did not include respiratory disorders. The pandemic lasted for four years and killed at least a million people. In 2001, Canadian astronomer Ken Tapping showed that the influenza pandemics over the previous three centuries correlated with peaks in solar magnetic activity, on an 11- year cycle. It has also been found that some outbreaks of influenza spread over enormous areas in just a few days – a fact that is difficult to explain by contagion from one person to another. Also, numerous experiments seeking to prove direct contagion through close contact, droplets of mucus or other processes have proved fruitless. From 1933 to the present day, virologists have been unable to present any experimental study proving that influenza spreads through normal contact between people. All attempts to do so have met with failure. 8. Mystery on the lsle of Wight In 1904, bees began to die on the Isle of Wight following the installation of radio transmitters by Marconi. These transmitters work at frequencies close to megahertz levels. On the other side of the Channel, Jacques-Arsène d'Arsonval showed that “sharp and hooked” electromagnetic signals are far more toxic than sinusoidal signals. The truth was that, after a year and a half of experimenting with radio transmitters in full health at the age of 22, Marconi began to develop fevers. These attacks continued for the rest of his life. In 1904, while working on setting up a transmitter powerful enough for transatlantic communications, these fevers became so intense that they were thought to be malaria. In 1905, he married Beatrice O'Brien and after their honeymoon, they settled on the island close to a transmitter. As soon as Beatrice had settled in, she began to complain of tinnitus. After three months, she fell ill with severe jaundice. She had to return to London to give birth to a baby who only lived for a few weeks and died of “unknown causes.” During the same period, Marconi spent several months suffering from fever and delirium. Between 1918 and 1921, he suffered suicidal depression while working on a shortwave transmitter. In 1927, while on his honeymoon from his second marriage, he collapsed with chest pain and was diagnosed with serious cardiac disorders. Between 1934 and 1937, while he was developing microwave technology, he had nine heart attacks – the final one killing him at the age of 63. On the same island, at Osborne House, Queen Victoria suffered cerebral hemorrhages and died on the evening of January 22nd 1901, just as Marconi was putting a new transmitter into operation less than 13 miles away. In 1901 there were “only” two transmitters, while in 1904 there were four, making this island the most irradiated place on the planet, leaving bees no room for survival. In 1906, a survey revealed that 90% of the bees had completely disappeared for no apparent reason. New colonies were brought to the island, but these likewise died within a week. This epidemic spread across England and then across the western world, and then gradually stabilized, until the armies equipped themselves with various high-powered radio transmitters towards the end of the First World War – triggering (as we have seen) the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918, which actually began in the United States, at the Naval Radio School of Cambridge, Massachusetts, with 400 initial cases. This epidemic rapidly spread to 1,127 soldiers at Funston Camp (Kansas), where wireless connections had been installed. What intrigued the doctors was that while 15% of the civilian population were suffering from nosebleeds, 40% of the Navy suffered from them. Other bleeding also occurred, and a third of those who died did so due to internal hemorrhaging of the lungs or brain. In fact, it was the composition of the blood that had been altered, as the measured coagulation time was more than twice as long as normal. These symptoms are incompatible with the effects of the influenza respiratory viruses, but totally consistent with the devastating effects of electricity. Another incongruity was that two-thirds of the victims were healthy young people. A further atypical flu symptom was that the pulse slowed to rates of between 36 and 48, whereas this is a common result of exposure to electromagnetic fields. In addition, it was possible to successfully treat some sufferers with massive doses of calcium. The military physician Dr George A. Soper testified that the virus was spreading faster than the speed of movement of people. Various experiments were conducted attempting to infect subjects either by direct close contact or by inoculation with mucus or blood – but the experimenters were unable to demonstrate any infection by this means. It can be seen that each new influenza pandemic corresponds to a new advance in electrical technology, such as the Asian flu of 1957-58, following the installation of a powerful radar surveillance system, and the outbreak of Hong Kong flu from July 1968 onwards, following the commissioning of 28 military satellites for space surveillance at the altitude of the Van Allen belts, which protect us from cosmic radiation. 9. Earth’s Electric Envelope With a core consisting mainly of iron, the rotating earth is primarily protected by the ionosphere, then the plasma sphere – delimited by the Van Allen radiation belts at an altitude of between 1,000 and 55,000 km – and by its tail: the magnetosphere, which is exposed to solar winds originating from our sun and constitutes a kind of dynamo, a complex electrical system. The exchanges of electricity between the earth's crust, the atmosphere and even the ionosphere are permanent and constant. They are in a delicate balance, and a kind of electrical “respiration” of the entire system has allowed life to develop on our planet, which is charged with negative ions, balanced by the positively charged ionosphere. An average vertical electrical field of the order of 130 volts per meter can be observed, with values that can, for example, rise to 4,000 volts per meter during storms. In 1953, one of the primary parameters of this electrical oscillation of our environment was discovered, in the form of (Winfried) Schumann’s frequencies, which “respire” at 7.83 hertz, with harmonics at 14, 20, 26, 32 Hz, called very low frequencies (VLF). It is no wonder that the organisms living in this environment are imbued with these physical values and that, for example, our brain rhythms lie within these frequency ranges – such as the alpha rhythm, which lies between 8 and 13 Hz. While we perceive the visible frequencies – ranging from blue to red – of the electromagnetic spectrum, some animals are able to see other electromagnetic frequencies – such as bees, which can see ultraviolet frequencies, or those salamanders or catfish which can see the low electrical frequencies, while snakes are able to see the infrared frequencies. Laboratory experiments on hamsters, for example, showed that reducing the temperature and shortening the duration of daylight was not enough to put them into hibernation. Similarly, hamsters raised in Faraday cages refused to hibernate, even though the light and temperature parameters corresponded to those of winter, until the Faraday protection was removed. Other experiments were conducted, such as that carried out at the Max Plank Institute in 1967 by the physiologist Rütger Wever, using two buried rooms without windows or outside contact – one shielded from natural electromagnetic fields, the other one not. It was shown that in the shielded chamber, the circadian rhythms of the volunteers became desynchronized and could vary between 12 and 65 hours, accompanied by metabolic disorders, while the subjects in the chamber immersed in the earth's fields kept a coherent rhythm of around 24 hours and their metabolism continued to function more normally. It has been scientifically demonstrated that a living organism needs to be bathed in the electromagnetic system of our natural environment in order to function well. Moreover acupuncture, the ancient method used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, works by using our own electrical properties and modifying the energy flow of the meridians. It has been known for some time (since the 1950s) that these meridians actually correspond to electrical circuits and that the Chinese Qi corresponds to the concept of electricity. These meridians serve dual functions: they not only transport information and energy internally from one organ of the body to another, but also serve as antennas for picking up the flow of environmental electromagnetic energy. In the early 1970s, atmospheric physicists discovered that the earth's magnetic field was significantly disturbed by human electrical activity. By injecting a signal into space and capturing its echo, it was established that the initial signal had in fact been modified by multiples of the 60 Hz power grid used in North America. However, this discovery did not prevent the HAARP project from being launched to deliberately modify the electromagnetic properties of our planet. Similarly, the Van Allen belts that protect us from cosmic rays have already been altered by our electrical activity – and it may be that these double belts were originally only a single belt which, under the influence of the human emission of electric charges into space, has been depleted at its centre. Satellite observations show that the radiation emitted by high voltage lines often has the effect of suppressing the natural radiation of lightning. In light of this fact, it is logical to conclude that the influenza pandemics of recent decades are linked to human electrical activity. 10. Porphyrins and the Basis of Life Any transformation of energy in the biological domain involves porphyrins [pigments made up of four pyrrole molecules]. The fact that our nerves are able to function properly is thanks in part to porphyrins, which play a role in our cell processes. These are special molecules that function as the interface between oxygen and life. These molecules are highly reactive and interact with toxic metals or synthetic elements derived from oil, and with electromagnetic fields – which, in excess, cause porphyria, which is more an environmental sensitivity than a disease. Dr. William E. Morton's research showed that 90% of people with multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) are deficient in one form of porphyrin enzyme or another, as are electro- hypersensitive individuals – which means that the two forms of sensitivity are only different manifestations, with one and the same cause. Porphyria, which was discovered in 1891, afflicts about 10% of today’s population and first appeared at the same time as the general electrification of the western world from 1889 onwards. Porphyrins are central to the effects of electronic smog, because they not only cause EHS, MCS or porphyria, but also cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes, as they are involved in a multitude of energetic biological processes. In the 1960s, the biologists Allan Frey and Wlodzimierz Sedlak showed that our organisms definitely have a bioelectronic component, and that some of our cells sometimes behave like conductors or capacitors or semi-conductors (transistors), like the components that we find in our electronic devices. This is the case with myelin – the sheath that covers our nerves – which contains porphyrin bonded to zinc. Should environmental poisons such as chemical products or toxic metals affect this equilibrium, the myelin sheath will be damaged, which alters the excitability of the nerves it surrounds. The entire nervous system then becomes hyperresponsive to stimuli of all kinds, such as electromagnetic fields. The system enters a state of divergent instability, the effect becoming the cause. Contrary to the view that mitochondria are the elements of our cells that produce energy, the concept of the myelin sheath as being one giant mitochondrion is beginning to gain credence. The connection between porphyria and zinc was discovered in the 1950s by Henry Peters, at Wisconsin Medical School. Patients suffering from porphyria and neurological symptoms were excreting a great deal of zinc in their urine, which led him to the idea that zinc chelation might improve their condition. He did indeed see an improvement, despite the widespread belief that zinc deficiency is related to those specific disorders. Similarly, certain experiments have shown that zinc chelation improves Alzheimer's disease. An Australian medical team demonstrated in autopsies that the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease contained twice as much zinc as those of healthy patients. Part2 ...to the presentday 11. Irritable Heart In 1980, cardiac arrest in young athletes was rare, with only nine cases a year. From then on, cases steadily increased by 10% per year until 1996, when the rate suddenly doubled to 64 cases, rising to 66 in the following year and 76 in the last year of the study. The American medical community could find no explanation for this, while in Europe in 2002, German environmental physicians launched an appeal calling for a moratorium on antennas and cell towers, as the waves they were emitting were causing cardiovascular disorders. That was the Freiburg Appeal. Dr. Samuel Milham, an epidemiologist at the Washington State Department of Health, showed through his work that cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer are largely, if not entirely, caused by electricity. Paradoxically, studies of cholesterol dating from the early 20th century did not show that cholesterol levels correlated with a higher risk of heart disease – contrary to what is commonly regarded as fact nowadays. A study of animals at the Philadelphia Zoo showed that from 1916 to 1964, cholesterol levels in mammals and birds increased by a factor of between 10 and 20 even though their diet had remained completely unchanged! The only parameter that had dramatically changed was the increase in radio frequencies. During the Second World War, a number of soldiers complained of symptoms similar to those of neurasthenia. It was initially believed, in accordance with Freud’s doctrine, that these soldiers were suffering from anxiety problems: however, a study of 144 cases was then conducted by Dr. Mandel Cohen. This study revealed that the soldiers were in fact physiologically less resistant and suffered from irritable heart. They had difficulty in assimilating oxygen and had to breathe twice as fast as their comrades in better health in order to get enough oxygen. It emerged that their mitochondria were not functioning efficiently. In the end, the study showed that these soldiers were hypersensitive in a general sense, but particularly to electricity. From the 1950s onwards, scientists in the Soviet Union also observed that radio frequencies altered the electrocardiograms of individuals exposed to them, as they modified mitochondrial efficiency. Graphs showing the statistics for death rates from heart disease broken down by the degree of electrification of the American states in 1931 and 1940 are also very explicit and leave no doubt as to the toxicity of electromagnetic fields for the heart, thus exonerating cholesterol and diets deemed too high in fat. 12. The Transformation of Diabetes Thomas Edison, who was involved in discoveries relating to electrical technology and was therefore exposed to electromagnetic fields to a far greater extent than his fellow citizens of the time, was diagnosed with diabetes – a disease that was very rare in 1889. Another researcher, Alexander Graham Bell, who worked in the field of telegraphy and invented the telephone, was known to constantly complain of the symptoms of neurasthenia, known as EHS today. In 1915, he too was diagnosed with diabetes. In 1876, the book Diseases of Modern Life by Ward Richardson described diabetes as a rare modern disease caused by mental exhaustion due to overwork or by a shock to the nervous system. The excessive intake of toxic, addictive sugar in our modern diet naturally provides a convenient explanation of why diabetes, including prediabetes, affects more than half of all Americans today. However, this explanation is too simplistic. Dr. Even Joslin showed that between 1900 and 1917, sugar intake had increased by 17% while mortality from diabetes had doubled. Later, in 1987, a study of Native Americans showed radically different rates of death from diabetes, depending on territory, ranging from 7 per thousand in the North-West to 380 per thousand in Arizona! During those years, neither lifestyle nor diet could explain such a divergence. One environmental factor, however, can indeed explain such a difference: the electrification of Native American reservations proceeded at different paces, and those in the North-West were only electrified much later. By contrast, the Arizona reservation lies in the immediate vicinity of Phoenix. Moreover, this Native American community had its own power plant and its own telecommunications system. Another example is the population of Brazil – a major sugar producer for centuries, where diabetes was still unknown in 1870, after it had already emerged as a disease of civilization in North America. Even today, Brazilians consume 70 kg of refined sugar per year and per person – more than North Americans: and yet they still have two and a half times fewer cases of diabetes than the USA. In Bhutan, diabetes was virtually non-existent until 2002, after which the electrification of the country began. In 2004, 634 new cases of diabetes were announced, in 2005 – 944, in 2006 – 1,470, and in 2007 – 2,540, with 15 deaths. In 2012, there were 91 deaths and diabetes was the eighth leading cause of death in the country, even though people’s diet had not changed! As we saw in the previous chapter, electronic smog acting on mitochondria prevents the efficient use of absorbed sugar – i.e. the combustion of sugar. The sugar which cannot be converted into mechanical energy is stored as fat by the body. Statistical graphs for diabetes death rates, broken down by the degree of electrification of the American states in 1931 and 1940, are also very explicit and leave no doubt as to the role played by electromagnetic fields in the appearance of large-scale diabetes, thus exonerating sugar consumption to some extent. In 1997, there was a 31% increase in the number of cases of diabetes in the United States in a single year, which precisely correlated with the mass introduction of cell phones in the country. 13. Cancer and the Starvation of Life In February 2011, the Supreme Court of Italy accused Cardinal Roberto Tucci, the outgoing president of Vatican Radio, of having created a public nuisance by polluting the environment with radio frequencies through negligence. In fact, in the period from 1997 to 2003, the children living within a 12 km radius of the radio antennas had an eight times higher rate of leukemia, lymphomas or myelomas than those who lived further away. The same held true for adults, with a rate seven times higher. The German doctor and professor Otto Heinrich Warburg, winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1931, showed that cancer is a regression of oxygen-deprived cells, which drives them to multiply anarchically, as in a primeval world where oxygen was not present to the extent that it is today. The initial oxygen deprivation is due to a malfunction of the mitochondria – which, as we have seen, can be caused by electromagnetic fields or other pollutants, such as smoke, pesticides, food additives and air pollution. The same principle of cellular oxygen deficiency applies to diabetes, which is why there is a higher rate of cancers among diabetics than in the rest of the population. At Philadelphia Zoo, from 1901 to 1955, a rise in the rate of malignant tumors was noted in mammals, varying from twice to 22 times more between those dates. Cancer death statistics show a clear correlation between the electrification of countries and cancer rates. For example, in the USA, the rate was 6.6 per thousand from 1841 to 1850. It subsequently more than doubled from 1851 to 1860, with a rate of 14 per thousand. The true explanation for this can be found in the mass deployment of the telegraph in 1854. In 1914, there were two deaths from cancer among the 63,000 Native Americans living in reserves without electrification, while in the rest of the country the cancer mortality rate was 25 times higher. Between 1920 and 1921, following the introduction of the first AM radio stations, cancer mortality increased by between 3 and 10% in western countries. The Swedish researchers Olle Johansson and Orjan Hallberg have shown a clear correlation between breast, prostate and lung cancer rates and the exposure of the population to radio frequencies. They point to a significant increase in rates in 1920, 1955, 1969 and a decrease (!) in 1978, corresponding respectively to the increase in radio frequency smog due to the introduction of AM radio, FM radio and TV1, the arrival of color TV2, and then the cessation of AM radio broadcasts. These same researchers have likewise found a very clear linear correlation between the number of FM radio transmitters per region and the incidence of melanomas, with the exposed locations having 11 times more melanomas than the “white zones”. They also found that melanomas rarely appear on those areas of the body most exposed to the sun, such as the forehead, nose, shoulders and feet, but more often in those areas of the body usually protected from the sun. Moreover, the proliferation of skin cancers occurred before the coming into fashion of seaside holidays, during which sun exposure is intense. This shows that melanomas are not predominantly caused by the sun, but by radio frequencies. The statistical graphs of death rates from cancer, as well as from diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, broken down by the degree of electrification of American states in 1931 and 1940, are likewise very explicit, leaving no doubt whatever that electromagnetic fields play a role in the increase in cancers. Genuine data on brain tumors is hard to find, as the cell phone lobby has been infiltrating this field for decades in order to commission biased studies. One of their studies even shows a decrease in the incidence of tumors, correlating with the intensive use of cell phones! However, the University of Calgary has found evidence of a 30% increase in the incidence of malignant brain tumors in the period from 2012 to 2013, and Lennart Hardell, Professor of Oncology at the University Hospital of Örebro in Sweden, has demonstrated that 2,000 hours of cell phone use increases the risk of developing a tumor by a factor of between three and eight, depending on the age of the subject and their phone habits. In 2000, Neil Cherry analyzed the cancer rates of children in San Francisco in relation to the distance between their home and the television and FM radio transmitters on Sutro Tower. Children living on hills or ridges were more affected. Those who lived within 1 km of the antenna had a 9 times higher incidence of leukemia, a 15 times higher incidence of lymphoma and a 31 times higher incidence of brain cancer — overall, an 18 times higher rate than those living outside that 1 km radius. 14. Suspended Animation A Practical Treatise on Nervous Exhaustion (1880) by George Miller Beard, the electrotherapist and friend of Thomas Edison, contains an intriguing observation: Although these difficulties are not directly fatal, and so do not appear in the mortality tables; although, on the contrary, they may tend to prolong life and to protect the system against febrile and inflammatory disease, yet the degree of suffering they cause is enormous. Those who suffered the most seemed rather young for their age. Furthermore, Beard noted that one rare disease seemed more likely to afflict the neurasthenic subjects than the rest of the population: that disease was diabetes. Beard had already observed that the increase in life expectancy did not go hand in hand with life quality. The mysterious correlation between the sufferings of neurasthenic people – whose symptoms were the same as those of contemporary electro-hypersensitive people – and the prolongation of their lives pointed to a major dysfunction. In addition, it has long been observed that an ascetic lifestyle with a low-calorie diet can increase life expectancy and health. This is the case, for example, with the population of Okinawa, where the number of centenarians is forty times greater than those in the population of richer prefectures further to the north. Researchers in the field of ageing have pointed out that the force that drives and sustains our lives is the system of electron transport in the mitochondria of our cells. It is here that the air we breathe and the food we eat are combined, at a rate that determines our rate of ageing and hence our life expectancy. Whereas the achievement of a slowing down of the combustion process within our cells through moderating the amount of energy delivered may be beneficial, another way of slowing down may conversely be disastrous. This is the poisoning of the electron transport chain. One possible way of being poisoned is chronic exposure to artificial electromagnetic fields. This ever-increasing pollution subjects the electrons of our mitochondria to external forces, slowing them down, depriving our cells of oxygen and causing EHS symptoms. 15. You mean you can hear electricity? In 1962, a woman contacted the University of Santa Barbara (CA, USA) asking for help in finding the source of the mysterious sound that she was hearing everywhere at home, even though she lived in a quiet residential district. This sound was keeping her awake and was detrimental to her health. Measurements did indeed show that particularly strong electromagnetic fields were emanating from all electrical conductors, not only from the grid but also from the radiators and other metallic elements, yet the stethoscope itself detected no sound at all. The engineer carried out an experiment, recording the measured fields on tape and playing them to the woman affected by these noises. She confirmed that that was what she was hearing. So, this woman was able to hear the electromagnetic fields in her environment. Grounding facilities and electronic filters were installed to reduce disturbances to an acceptable level. However, long before that, Volta and other researchers had already conducted experiments in which they had successfully produced various sounds by applying voltage to the ears. Much later, in the late 1960s, the biologist Allan Frey published articles on the ability of some subjects to hear emissions from a radar installation. The mechanical model of the functioning of the ear as taught in schools does not provide any explanation for these observed phenomena. Noting this, the biochemist Lionel Naftalin developed a new model of the functioning of the human ear, taking into account the well-known phenomenon of piezo-electricity (a force utilized by electronicians), which he discovered in the gel covering the cilia of the inner ear. In this gel, which is found nowhere else in the human body and has special electrical properties, a voltage of 100 to 120 millivolts was present – which is considered high in the field of bioelectronics. This piezo-electric gel transforms sound waves into an electrical signal that is communicated to the cilia of the inner ear. This new, revised model of the functioning of the human ear not only explains the ability of certain subjects to hear an electromagnetic signal under certain conditions, but also why so modern-day people suffer from tinnitus, and why certain groups of people, amounting to 2 to 11% of the world's population, are hearing a global humming all around the planet. Today, about 44% of American adults suffer from tinnitus at various levels of intensity, while in Sweden the number of young people affected was 12% in 1997 and 42% in 2006. These parasitic sounds are largely the result of living in an environment that is heavily polluted with all kinds of artificial electromagnetic fields. 16. Bees, Birds, Trees, and Humans Alfonso Balmori Marinez, a Spanish biologist, has correlated the population density of sparrows with the radio-frequency radiation values in their habitats. Sparrows cannot survive in the most irradiated places, where levels exceed 3 V/m, whereas there are still 42 birds per hectare at levels of 0.1 V/m. He has also observed a marked change in the behavior of storks, whereby stork pairs will fight instead of building the nest or incubating the eggs if they are within 200m of a cell tower. The United Kingdom classed the house sparrow as an endangered species after its population declined by 75% between 1994 and 2002 – a period that coincided with the deployment of cell phone technology. Homing pigeon breeders on several continents have found that, when released, up to 90% of pigeons fail to find their way back to the dovecote, whereas this percentage should normally be tiny. In 2000, English breeders tried to reroute a race so as to avoid cell towers, in order to give the pigeons a better chance of homing successfully. In 2004, those same breeders commissioned more extensive studies on the impact of microwaves on pigeons. In 2002, the US National Park Service issued a note to biologists studying wild animal behavior, explaining that RFID chips attached to those animals to track them with radio frequencies can radically alter their behavior due to the radio frequencies generated. In environments polluted by electromagnetic fields, robins cannot find their bearings for migration – whereas when they are in a Faraday cage, they are able to do so. An experiment on frog tadpoles reared in two separate pools within 140m of a cell tower, one without and the other with electromagnetic shielding, displayed mortality rates of 90% and 4% respectively. The same type of harmful effects are found in insects when they are exposed to the electronic smog that we encounter on a daily basis, and Dr. Panagopoulous, who has experimented on fruit flies, reports that exposure to microwaves at common levels – even for just a few minutes a day for a few days – is the worst known stressor in our daily lives, even worse than chemicals or low-frequency electromagnetic fields. Bees are also being negatively impacted, as we saw on the Isle of Wight at the beginning of this summary. Dr. Daniel Favre (Switzerland) has demonstrated that in the presence of microwaves, bees emit the sound typically heard when they swarm, which suggests that the insects want to escape the emission source. The varroa mite is generally blamed for colony collapse syndrome; however, we forget that this mite has cohabited with bees for a long time. In addition, it can often be observed that nowadays even a dead colony is not infested with parasites, even though this used to be the case “before”. The finger of blame is also levelled at pesticides – yet, as we have seen, 90% of the bees on the Isle of Wight disappeared without any pesticides having been used in that area. The true cause of colony collapse is found in human-generated electromagnetic fields, especially cell phone technology. In the 1980s, a burning issue emerged: the death of forests. This was blamed on acid rain – yet the most remote areas with the cleanest air were equally affected. Research was carried out in Germany and Switzerland, and although the soil in the affected forests did indeed prove to be acidic, observation and experimentation showed that such acidity could also be the result of the slow electrolysis of the soil via trees exposed to radar waves, for example. Moreover, trees on ridges were more severely affected as they were more exposed to the new radars installed in the 1970s. Another observation was made at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The gigantic Russian radars at Skruda, which were heavily irradiating the whole region in their task of monitoring the West, had not only caused harm to the forest, but also to animals and human beings. After numerous studies, it was found that the growth rings of the trees during the years when the radars were operating were much smaller than those from either before or after that period. In Schwarzenburg in Switzerland, a shortwave radio antenna was installed in 1939, and the transmission power was subsequently increased to 450 kW in 1954. This was followed by a deterioration in the health of the local inhabitants, who complained of EHS symptoms. The village children had difficulties at school and seemed unable to advance to higher education, unlike the children of less exposed neighboring villages. Finally, in 1992, a study was carried out which confirmed that, within a radius of 900m of the antenna, the physiological analysis parameters of the people and animals at the site were abnormal. It was also found that the tree growth rings were compressed – but only on the side facing the radiation source. On March 28th 1998, the transmitter was shut down and a “before-and- after” study was carried out; this demonstrated that the melatonin levels of the 58 subjects tested had increased again. A 50-year-old villager was finally able to sleep for a full night without interruption for the first time in his life. On May 29th 1996, Philippe Roch, Director of the Office for the Environment, stated that there was “a proven correlation between the sleep disorders and communications operations". 17. In the Country of the Blind How much longer do we have to wait before being able to say "Your cell phone is killing me!” rather than "I'm electro-hypersensitive”? And yet the number of people suffering from headaches due to using cell phones is huge. In 2010, two-thirds of Ukrainian university students interviewed admitted the fact that it is not socially acceptable to openly discuss this issue. Gro Harlem Brundtland was EHS when she was head of the World Health Organization. She was quite open about the fact, but was forced to resign from her post one year later. This deterred other high-ranking public figures from following her example. Only a minority of people suffering from electromagnetic pollution know what they are suffering from, while the great majority have no idea. The entire population is being electrocuted by remote control and one almost has to apologize for being electro-sensitive or, to be precise, electro-hypersensitive, just as if one had to apologize for being "cyanide- hypersensitive". For the truth is that electricity, as it is currently being used, is toxic. Moreover, statistical graphs clearly show an increase in the mortality rate of the inhabitants of nine American cities shortly after the first base stations were put into operation. This increased mortality ranges from 25 to over 80%. A survey conducted by a daily newspaper, which asked New Yorkers to report whether they had begun suffering from a number of EHS symptoms after November 15th, 1996, gathered hundreds of testimonies from a wide range of racial and social classes. The date in question was the day when the first cell phone network went into operation. The Cellular Phone Task Force, an organization started by Arthur Firstenberg in 1996, is inundated with requests for help from people harmed by microwave radio frequencies. So many emitters of all kinds proliferate – from WiFi, WiMAX, radar stations and irradiation emitted from the sky by telecommunications satellites, that it seems as if soon there will be nowhere to escape to. Prof. Olle Johansson of the prestigious Karolinska Institute, who is famous for awarding the Nobel Prize for Medicine, has focused on demonstrating the effects of electronic smog on living organisms since 1977. The success of his studies led to his being marginalized at his institute, the funding for his research disappearing and to his receiving death threats; on one occasion, he narrowly escaped an attempt on his life through the sabotage of his motorcycle. Despite everything, he continues to inform the world of the truth in order to defend, among others, those suffering from EHS, whose lives have become hell on earth. He is disgusted by the way in which the governments of so-called “democratic” countries have simply abandoned the victims of radio frequencies to their fate. Dr Erica Mallery-Blythe, who has dual British and American nationality, completed her studies in 1998. In 2007, after following her F-16 pilot husband to the USA, she became severely affected by EHS without realizing it. Her internet researches finally enabled her to understand what was happening to her. As a doctor, she was puzzled as to how such a profound and disabling condition could exist without her ever having heard of it in her profession. To set her mind at rest, she decided to undergo an MRI to rule out the risk of brain cancer. She believed that her death was imminent when the high frequency pulsations were engaged, but recovered full health and vitality in Death Valley, far from radio frequencies. Since then, she has dedicated herself to informing and helping the 5% (at least) of the population who are EHS and have been totally abandoned by the authorities. Yury Grigoriev, who is generally regarded as the grandfather of electromagnetic research in Russia, is extremely concerned about young people above all, and has stated that this is the first time in the history of humanity that people’s brains are being openly exposed to microwaves – which is extremely serious in the eyes of a radiobiologist. In particular, he cites a Korean study which shows that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is connected to the use of cell phones. In the late 1990s, the Swedish neurosurgeon Leif Salford and his team proved that cell phones make the blood-brain barrier permeable, causing Alzheimer's disease. In 2003 they showed that a single exposure of only two hours causes permanent damage to the brain. In 2015, Turkish scientists irradiated rats for an hour a day for a month, using typical cell phone waves. The irradiated rats had 10% fewer brain cells than those that had been spared that treatment. The same team experimented on pregnant rats for 9 days at the same radiation level. The rats’ progeny showed degeneration of the brain, spinal cord, heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, thymus and testicles. The same experiment repeated on young rats caused atrophy of the spinal cord together with decreased myelin, like that seen in multiple sclerosis. In September 1998, the first 66 satellites for space telephony went into operation, causing an increase in the USA’s national mortality rate of nearly 5% in the two subsequent weeks. During the same period, it was observed that birds were no longer flying and that EHS people became particularly ill. Today, about 1,100 artificial satellites fly over us, but several companies – Google, Facebook, SpaceX, OneWeb and Samsung – are planning to launch up to 4,600 new communications satellites each by 2020, in order to blanket the entire planet with high-speed Internet access. In 1968, even the first small fleet of 28 military satellites precipitated a worldwide flu pandemic. Unlike a ground-based antenna, whose radiation is highly attenuated when it reaches the magnetosphere, satellites act directly on it through mechanisms that are still poorly understood, thus compromising life on earth. We forget the warnings of Ross Adey, the grandfather of bioelectromagnetics, and of the atmospheric physicist Neil Cherry, that we are electrically regulated by the world surrounding us and that the safe level of exposure to radio frequencies is therefore zero. This potentially catastrophic initiative must be opposed and the organization leading the way is the Global Union Against Radiation Deployment from Space (GUARDS; www.stopglobalwifi.org/). In 2014, the physician Tetsuharu Shinjyo published a "before-and-after" study. He evaluated the health of 122 inhabitants of a building on which base station antennas had been installed. Twenty-one suffered from chronic fatigue, 14 from dizziness or Ménière’s disease, 14 from headaches, 17 from eye pain or infections, 14 from insomnia and 10 from chronic nosebleeds. Five months after the antennas were removed, only 2 cases of insomnia, 1 case of vertigo and 1 case of headaches remained! This human rights emergency, which affects hundreds of millions of people on a planetary scale, and the environmental emergency that threatens the extinction of countless species of plants and animals must be faced with clear-sighted and unflinching resolutions.

NOTB 'BOOK OF THE CENTURY' The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life (2017) by Arthur Firstenberg TRANSLATIONS OF THE SUMMARY ARE AVAILABLE IN: ENGLISH - FRENCH - ITALIAN - SPANISH - GERMAN Arabic Hungarian Chinese Czech Bulgarian Portugese I've bought 5 copies of The Invisible Rainbow for friends and family. However, it is a doorstopper of a book, that I know a few friends admire on the coffee table, but have not read. A large proportion of the book is the extensive reference section to back every droplet of fact, as we are taken on a wild journey through the history of electricity to a world-view changing conclusion. For those that don't have time, or would just like a taster, here is a 20 min fast-read summary of the key points within the book. The whole book in a few easy-to-consume bite-size chunks. But first here are two forewards to whet your appetite. The first is from Dr T and the second from Dr Andrew Goldsworthy DR T - RETIRED GP It is hard to comprehend how systematic and deliberate the silencing of the harm that electromagnetic radiation causes has been. It is not accidental that the very youngest have been 'educated' into regarding many of the devices that have incredibly high EMF radiation as essential for their lives. Whatever age we are we have been programmed to accept more and more EMF radiation into our lives. The other side of this is that those canaries in the coal mines that have been suffering from severe effects of the EMF radiation have been mocked and dismissed by all forms of the biased media. Startling instances of men, women and children suffering harm have been suppressed. Moving forward to our present time we can now see that so many of these devices that are causing harm are also part of surveillance capitalism. It is little wonder that this agenda of 'smart' everything would be pushed forward regardless of any harm it may be causing. This book is so valuable in that it tells the story from the beginning and is immensely readable (yes, I know it's long), and then has all that evidence to back up what is written. I knew this book was important when it arrived as a gift from Mark, and I have been recommending it to others ever since. Knowledge is power. Dr T DR ANDREW GOLDSWORTHY RETIRED BIOLOGICAL SAFETY OFFICER IMPERIAL COLLEGE - LONDON This is an excellent summary of Arthur Firstenberg's book "The Invisible Rainbow", which is itself a much longer summary of the timeline linking the exposure of animals (especially humans) and plants to a wide range of illnesses and metabolic disorders. These include microwave sickness (aka electromagnetic hypersensitivity) diabetes, heart attacks, cancer and many more. The villain of the piece is pulsed and other alternating electromagnetic fields in the environment that interfere with electric currents used by our own bodies and, in particular, the electric currents that flow through our cell membranes. Their main effect is to make these membranes leak. This short circuits and reduces the normal voltage (trans-membrane potential) that provides the energy for most of our bodily functions In effect, they starve us of our energy and this can have all sorts of unexpected effects. For example, the mitochondria (the cells' powerhouses) use an electrochemical gradient across their membranes generated from the food we eat to make ATP, which is the main energy currency of our cells. But this ATP is used by the external membrane of the cell to absorb nutrients and excrete toxic byproducts, So, not only do these electromagnetic fields starve us of energy (giving, among other things, symptoms of chronic fatigue) they also poison us with our own toxins. Also, since ATP is needed by our immune systems, we become more susceptible to disease and also to cancer, which arises from the inability of the immune system to weed out precancerous cells. That said, the body does try to fight back. In particular, the inflow of calcium ions through our leaking cell membranes stimulates metabolic activity in general and repair mechanisms in particular. If you think about it, this is the only way that a cell can "know" that its membrane has been damaged. But the increased metabolic activity needed to repair the damage has side effects, particularly on the cells of the nervous system. Here the extra activity makes our sensory cells send false signals to the brain to give us the symptoms of electrical hypersensitivity, including ADHD as our brain cells become hyperactive and pain and false feelings of heat or cold anywhere on our body. When the inner ear is affected, we may experience tinnitus, loss of balance and all the symptoms of motion sickness, including nausea. It is not nice to be electrosensitive and no one knows this more than Arthur Firstenberg, who is the most electrosensitive person that I have ever come across Please read on to see more details and the observations and experiments that inspired Arthur to write his book, "The Invisible Rainbow".

About Arthur Firstenberg the author Arthur Firstenberg is a scientist and journalist who is at the forefront of a global movement to tear down the taboo surrounding this subject. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa from Cornell University with a degree in mathematics, he attended the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine from 1978 to 1982. Injury by X-ray overdose cut short his medical career. For the past thirty-seven years he has been a researcher, consultant, and lecturer on the health and environmental effects of electromagnetic radiation, as well as a practitioner of several healing arts. About the Book This remarkably well-documented and -referenced book is a cornerstone in the sense that it traces the deployment of electricity in our civilization, in terms of its interaction with living organisms, from its initial discovery in the 1740s all the way to our time, and even projected into the future. It should be noted that the title refers to the entire electromagnetic spectrum comprising the colors of the rainbow, including the invisible frequencies such as radio frequencies and the fields generated around conducting wires. THE SUMMARY PART 1 1. Captured in a Bottle 1746 saw the first discoveries involving electricity in Europe. Leyden’s experiment consisted of revealing the electric fluid by means of rubbing the hand on a glass globe spun rapidly on its axis. The static electricity thus produced made a great impression in the schools, fairs and on private persons who had the financial means to acquire this device, with some producing electrical arcs and others brief electric shocks. The phenomenon was so popular that it was not socially acceptable to suggest that electricity could be dangerous, even though the shocks caused headaches, nosebleeds and fatigue in certain experimenters and in the animals used in the tests. Society was taken over by electromania and the most fervent exponents of being electroshocked in good company between two glasses of champagne began to perceive harmful symptoms. In spite of this, the medical establishments equipped themselves with the Leyden flask (the forerunner of the condenser), for the purpose of carrying out medical experiments for abortions or other applications. In this way a completely new field of knowledge emerged concerning the biological effects of electricity on people, plants and animals – knowledge that was then much more extensive than that of our contemporary physicians, who daily see patients suffering from the effects of electricity without recognizing them for what they are, and who are generally ignorant of the very existence of this knowledge. 2. The Deaf to Hear, and the Lame to Walk Noting the – rarely positive, and far more often negative – effects of the application of electrical voltage on living organisms, the researchers and physicians concluded that living organisms function in conjunction with electricity. Certain cures were brought about using electricity – as for example in 1851, when the neurologist Duchenne treated deafness in dozens of patients by means of locally applied electrical impulses. Experiments were carried out – notably by Volta in Italy, as well as other researchers in the western world – which found evidence that the nervous, cardiac, cardiovascular, gustatory, sudatory and other systems could be stimulated using the electricity produced by galvanic couples. It was found that the number of curative effects were significantly fewer than the harmful effects that were listed, which include the symptoms of electro-sensitivity (ES) known today, such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, mental confusion, fatigue, depression, insomnia, etc. 3. Electrical Sensitivity The French botanist Thomas-François Dalibard – who carried out electrical experiments on living organisms – confided in a letter to Benjamin Franklin dated 1762 that he was unable to continue his work as his own organism had developed an intolerance to electricity. He was one of the first people to be officially declared electro-hypersensitive (EHS). Reading that account, it is clear that this botanist must have been severely affected. Other professors and researchers had the same unfortunate experience and were thus forced to stop their work. Even the famous Benjamin Franklin was affected by a neurological illness during his researches on electricity from 1753 onwards, and the symptoms are largely reminiscent of electro-hypersensitivity. So much so that, at the end of the 18th century, it was generally acknowledged that electricity could make people ill, depending on the sex, the morphology and the physical condition of the individual concerned. It had similarly been observed that certain individuals reacted strongly to changes in the weather, which often correlated with electrical changes in the atmosphere. The names of some of those individuals are still famous today – among them Christopher Columbus, Dante, Charles Darwin, Benjamin Franklin, Goethe, Victor Hugo, Leonardo da Vinci, Martin Luther, Michelangelo, Mozart, Napoleon, Rousseau and Voltaire. 4. The Road Not Taken During the 1790s, science was faced with an identity crisis regarding the interpretation and unification of the four different fluids – electricity, light, magnetism and heat. Where electricity was concerned, on the one hand there was Luigi Galvani, who regarded electricity as an integral part of the living organism, and on the other Volta's theory that electricity was only a “secondary” effect of internal chemical reactions in the living organism. Volta, the inventor of the extremely useful electric battery, which had the potential to become a great money-spinner, succeeded in winning the argument against the more global view of the interaction between electricity and the living organism. 5. Chronic Electrical Illness From the end of the 19th century onwards, urban landscapes were transformed by the installation of telegraph lines throughout the industrialized countries. This technology used voltages of the order of 80 volts on a single conductor, with the return current being earthed. That period saw the emergence of the first stray currents to which living beings were exposed. It was then that one saw the appearance of diseases of civilization such as neurasthenia, which afflicted Frank Lloyd Wright and Theodore Roosevelt, among other well-known figures. It should be noted in passing that neurasthenia is very similar to electrohypersensitivity, which is the more modern term for the same sensitivity to electricity. Around half of the telegraphists who were employed to manipulate the electrical current sent through the lines, and were thus exposed to very strong electromagnetic fields, were afflicted by telegraphic sickness. Once again, the symptoms were the same as those of EHS. Later on, in around 1915, it was the telephone operators who were experiencing the same symptoms – for they were exposed to electromagnetic fields from the communications for hours on end at their desks. In 1989, it was noted that in Winnipeg 47% of the telephone operators were suffering from the same symptoms. However, in 1894, the noted Viennese psychiatrist Sigmund Freud wrote an article whose effect was disastrous for all the unfortunates who suffered from telegraphic sickness, neurasthenia, microwave syndrome or EHS. Rather than seeing the external cause ‒ which was electromagnetic pollution – he attributed these symptoms to disordered thoughts or poorly controlled emotions. As a result, today millions of citizens affected by electronic smog are being medicated instead of reducing their exposure to this pollutant. Sigmund Freud renamed neurasthenia – which was known to be caused by electricity – as a neurosis anxiety, an anxiety attack or a panic attack. This opened the way for the reckless deployment of electrification to continue unimpeded. It should be noted that in Russia, neurasthenia is listed as an environmental illness, as Freud's damaging redefinition was rejected there. 6. The Behavior of Plants Sir Jagadis Chunder Bose and other researchers conducted numerous electrical experiments on plants and other living organisms, whose results showed definite effects. He discovered that the nerves of plants or animals display variable behavior and that their resistivity can vary considerably, depending on the application of the current and its polarity. He also noted that the intensity of current necessary to modify the conductivity of the nerves is infinitesimal in terms of the voltage applied – something in the order of 0.3 microamperes (0.3*10-6). That current is significantly less than the current that is induced through a telephone conversation using a cell phone. Bose likewise discovered that the threshold of a current’s bioactivity is 1 femtoampere (1*10-15)! As this researcher was also familiar with radio-frequency transmissions, he carried out an experiment in which a plant was exposed to a radio signal of 30 MHz at a distance of about 218 yards (200 meters) and found that the plant's growth was retarded during the emission period. He likewise showed that the circulation of sap in the plant slowed down when it was irradiated by the same radio signal. 7. Acute Electrical Illness During the 1880s, London was supplied with direct current, but certain physicists had discovered that the distribution of alternating current generated fewer ohmic losses in the wires. There followed a battle of the currents, even though many scientists, including Edison, strongly criticized the more dangerous effects of alternating current. Ironically, it’s precisely because alternating current is more harmful that it is used in the electric chair. And as everyone knows, the electrical current of the power grid is... alternating! In 1889, full-scale electrification was carried out in the USA and, shortly thereafter, in Europe. That same year, as if by chance, doctors were inundated with cases of flu, which had until then appeared only infrequently. The victims’ symptoms were far more neurological in nature, resembling neurasthenia, and did not include respiratory disorders. The pandemic lasted for four years and killed at least a million people. In 2001, Canadian astronomer Ken Tapping showed that the influenza pandemics over the previous three centuries correlated with peaks in solar magnetic activity, on an 11- year cycle. It has also been found that some outbreaks of influenza spread over enormous areas in just a few days – a fact that is difficult to explain by contagion from one person to another. Also, numerous experiments seeking to prove direct contagion through close contact, droplets of mucus or other processes have proved fruitless. From 1933 to the present day, virologists have been unable to present any experimental study proving that influenza spreads through normal contact between people. All attempts to do so have met with failure. 8. Mystery on the lsle of Wight In 1904, bees began to die on the Isle of Wight following the installation of radio transmitters by Marconi. These transmitters work at frequencies close to megahertz levels. On the other side of the Channel, Jacques-Arsène d'Arsonval showed that “sharp and hooked” electromagnetic signals are far more toxic than sinusoidal signals. The truth was that, after a year and a half of experimenting with radio transmitters in full health at the age of 22, Marconi began to develop fevers. These attacks continued for the rest of his life. In 1904, while working on setting up a transmitter powerful enough for transatlantic communications, these fevers became so intense that they were thought to be malaria. In 1905, he married Beatrice O'Brien and after their honeymoon, they settled on the island close to a transmitter. As soon as Beatrice had settled in, she began to complain of tinnitus. After three months, she fell ill with severe jaundice. She had to return to London to give birth to a baby who only lived for a few weeks and died of “unknown causes.” During the same period, Marconi spent several months suffering from fever and delirium. Between 1918 and 1921, he suffered suicidal depression while working on a shortwave transmitter. In 1927, while on his honeymoon from his second marriage, he collapsed with chest pain and was diagnosed with serious cardiac disorders. Between 1934 and 1937, while he was developing microwave technology, he had nine heart attacks – the final one killing him at the age of 63. On the same island, at Osborne House, Queen Victoria suffered cerebral hemorrhages and died on the evening of January 22nd 1901, just as Marconi was putting a new transmitter into operation less than 13 miles away. In 1901 there were “only” two transmitters, while in 1904 there were four, making this island the most irradiated place on the planet, leaving bees no room for survival. In 1906, a survey revealed that 90% of the bees had completely disappeared for no apparent reason. New colonies were brought to the island, but these likewise died within a week. This epidemic spread across England and then across the western world, and then gradually stabilized, until the armies equipped themselves with various high-powered radio transmitters towards the end of the First World War – triggering (as we have seen) the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918, which actually began in the United States, at the Naval Radio School of Cambridge, Massachusetts, with 400 initial cases. This epidemic rapidly spread to 1,127 soldiers at Funston Camp (Kansas), where wireless connections had been installed. What intrigued the doctors was that while 15% of the civilian population were suffering from nosebleeds, 40% of the Navy suffered from them. Other bleeding also occurred, and a third of those who died did so due to internal hemorrhaging of the lungs or brain. In fact, it was the composition of the blood that had been altered, as the measured coagulation time was more than twice as long as normal. These symptoms are incompatible with the effects of the influenza respiratory viruses, but totally consistent with the devastating effects of electricity. Another incongruity was that two-thirds of the victims were healthy young people. A further atypical flu symptom was that the pulse slowed to rates of between 36 and 48, whereas this is a common result of exposure to electromagnetic fields. In addition, it was possible to successfully treat some sufferers with massive doses of calcium. The military physician Dr George A. Soper testified that the virus was spreading faster than the speed of movement of people. Various experiments were conducted attempting to infect subjects either by direct close contact or by inoculation with mucus or blood – but the experimenters were unable to demonstrate any infection by this means. It can be seen that each new influenza pandemic corresponds to a new advance in electrical technology, such as the Asian flu of 1957-58, following the installation of a powerful radar surveillance system, and the outbreak of Hong Kong flu from July 1968 onwards, following the commissioning of 28 military satellites for space surveillance at the altitude of the Van Allen belts, which protect us from cosmic radiation. 9. Earth’s Electric Envelope With a core consisting mainly of iron, the rotating earth is primarily protected by the ionosphere, then the plasma sphere – delimited by the Van Allen radiation belts at an altitude of between 1,000 and 55,000 km – and by its tail: the magnetosphere, which is exposed to solar winds originating from our sun and constitutes a kind of dynamo, a complex electrical system. The exchanges of electricity between the earth's crust, the atmosphere and even the ionosphere are permanent and constant. They are in a delicate balance, and a kind of electrical “respiration” of the entire system has allowed life to develop on our planet, which is charged with negative ions, balanced by the positively charged ionosphere. An average vertical electrical field of the order of 130 volts per meter can be observed, with values that can, for example, rise to 4,000 volts per meter during storms. In 1953, one of the primary parameters of this electrical oscillation of our environment was discovered, in the form of (Winfried) Schumann’s frequencies, which “respire” at 7.83 hertz, with harmonics at 14, 20, 26, 32 Hz, called very low frequencies (VLF). It is no wonder that the organisms living in this environment are imbued with these physical values and that, for example, our brain rhythms lie within these frequency ranges – such as the alpha rhythm, which lies between 8 and 13 Hz. While we perceive the visible frequencies – ranging from blue to red – of the electromagnetic spectrum, some animals are able to see other electromagnetic frequencies – such as bees, which can see ultraviolet frequencies, or those salamanders or catfish which can see the low electrical frequencies, while snakes are able to see the infrared frequencies. Laboratory experiments on hamsters, for example, showed that reducing the temperature and shortening the duration of daylight was not enough to put them into hibernation. Similarly, hamsters raised in Faraday cages refused to hibernate, even though the light and temperature parameters corresponded to those of winter, until the Faraday protection was removed. Other experiments were conducted, such as that carried out at the Max Plank Institute in 1967 by the physiologist Rütger Wever, using two buried rooms without windows or outside contact – one shielded from natural electromagnetic fields, the other one not. It was shown that in the shielded chamber, the circadian rhythms of the volunteers became desynchronized and could vary between 12 and 65 hours, accompanied by metabolic disorders, while the subjects in the chamber immersed in the earth's fields kept a coherent rhythm of around 24 hours and their metabolism continued to function more normally. It has been scientifically demonstrated that a living organism needs to be bathed in the electromagnetic system of our natural environment in order to function well. Moreover acupuncture, the ancient method used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, works by using our own electrical properties and modifying the energy flow of the meridians. It has been known for some time (since the 1950s) that these meridians actually correspond to electrical circuits and that the Chinese Qi corresponds to the concept of electricity. These meridians serve dual functions: they not only transport information and energy internally from one organ of the body to another, but also serve as antennas for picking up the flow of environmental electromagnetic energy. In the early 1970s, atmospheric physicists discovered that the earth's magnetic field was significantly disturbed by human electrical activity. By injecting a signal into space and capturing its echo, it was established that the initial signal had in fact been modified by multiples of the 60 Hz power grid used in North America. However, this discovery did not prevent the HAARP project from being launched to deliberately modify the electromagnetic properties of our planet. Similarly, the Van Allen belts that protect us from cosmic rays have already been altered by our electrical activity – and it may be that these double belts were originally only a single belt which, under the influence of the human emission of electric charges into space, has been depleted at its centre. Satellite observations show that the radiation emitted by high voltage lines often has the effect of suppressing the natural radiation of lightning. In light of this fact, it is logical to conclude that the influenza pandemics of recent decades are linked to human electrical activity. 10. Porphyrins and the Basis of Life Any transformation of energy in the biological domain involves porphyrins [pigments made up of four pyrrole molecules]. The fact that our nerves are able to function properly is thanks in part to porphyrins, which play a role in our cell processes. These are special molecules that function as the interface between oxygen and life. These molecules are highly reactive and interact with toxic metals or synthetic elements derived from oil, and with electromagnetic fields – which, in excess, cause porphyria, which is more an environmental sensitivity than a disease. Dr. William E. Morton's research showed that 90% of people with multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) are deficient in one form of porphyrin enzyme or another, as are electro- hypersensitive individuals – which means that the two forms of sensitivity are only different manifestations, with one and the same cause. Porphyria, which was discovered in 1891, afflicts about 10% of today’s population and first appeared at the same time as the general electrification of the western world from 1889 onwards. Porphyrins are central to the effects of electronic smog, because they not only cause EHS, MCS or porphyria, but also cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes, as they are involved in a multitude of energetic biological processes. In the 1960s, the biologists Allan Frey and Wlodzimierz Sedlak showed that our organisms definitely have a bioelectronic component, and that some of our cells sometimes behave like conductors or capacitors or semi-conductors (transistors), like the components that we find in our electronic devices. This is the case with myelin – the sheath that covers our nerves – which contains porphyrin bonded to zinc. Should environmental poisons such as chemical products or toxic metals affect this equilibrium, the myelin sheath will be damaged, which alters the excitability of the nerves it surrounds. The entire nervous system then becomes hyperresponsive to stimuli of all kinds, such as electromagnetic fields. The system enters a state of divergent instability, the effect becoming the cause. Contrary to the view that mitochondria are the elements of our cells that produce energy, the concept of the myelin sheath as being one giant mitochondrion is beginning to gain credence. The connection between porphyria and zinc was discovered in the 1950s by Henry Peters, at Wisconsin Medical School. Patients suffering from porphyria and neurological symptoms were excreting a great deal of zinc in their urine, which led him to the idea that zinc chelation might improve their condition. He did indeed see an improvement, despite the widespread belief that zinc deficiency is related to those specific disorders. Similarly, certain experiments have shown that zinc chelation improves Alzheimer's disease. An Australian medical team demonstrated in autopsies that the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease contained twice as much zinc as those of healthy patients. Part2 ...to the presentday 11. Irritable Heart In 1980, cardiac arrest in young athletes was rare, with only nine cases a year. From then on, cases steadily increased by 10% per year until 1996, when the rate suddenly doubled to 64 cases, rising to 66 in the following year and 76 in the last year of the study. The American medical community could find no explanation for this, while in Europe in 2002, German environmental physicians launched an appeal calling for a moratorium on antennas and cell towers, as the waves they were emitting were causing cardiovascular disorders. That was the Freiburg Appeal. Dr. Samuel Milham, an epidemiologist at the Washington State Department of Health, showed through his work that cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer are largely, if not entirely, caused by electricity. Paradoxically, studies of cholesterol dating from the early 20th century did not show that cholesterol levels correlated with a higher risk of heart disease – contrary to what is commonly regarded as fact nowadays. A study of animals at the Philadelphia Zoo showed that from 1916 to 1964, cholesterol levels in mammals and birds increased by a factor of between 10 and 20 even though their diet had remained completely unchanged! The only parameter that had dramatically changed was the increase in radio frequencies. During the Second World War, a number of soldiers complained of symptoms similar to those of neurasthenia. It was initially believed, in accordance with Freud’s doctrine, that these soldiers were suffering from anxiety problems: however, a study of 144 cases was then conducted by Dr. Mandel Cohen. This study revealed that the soldiers were in fact physiologically less resistant and suffered from irritable heart. They had difficulty in assimilating oxygen and had to breathe twice as fast as their comrades in better health in order to get enough oxygen. It emerged that their mitochondria were not functioning efficiently. In the end, the study showed that these soldiers were hypersensitive in a general sense, but particularly to electricity. From the 1950s onwards, scientists in the Soviet Union also observed that radio frequencies altered the electrocardiograms of individuals exposed to them, as they modified mitochondrial efficiency. Graphs showing the statistics for death rates from heart disease broken down by the degree of electrification of the American states in 1931 and 1940 are also very explicit and leave no doubt as to the toxicity of electromagnetic fields for the heart, thus exonerating cholesterol and diets deemed too high in fat. 12. The Transformation of Diabetes Thomas Edison, who was involved in discoveries relating to electrical technology and was therefore exposed to electromagnetic fields to a far greater extent than his fellow citizens of the time, was diagnosed with diabetes – a disease that was very rare in 1889. Another researcher, Alexander Graham Bell, who worked in the field of telegraphy and invented the telephone, was known to constantly complain of the symptoms of neurasthenia, known as EHS today. In 1915, he too was diagnosed with diabetes. In 1876, the book Diseases of Modern Life by Ward Richardson described diabetes as a rare modern disease caused by mental exhaustion due to overwork or by a shock to the nervous system. The excessive intake of toxic, addictive sugar in our modern diet naturally provides a convenient explanation of why diabetes, including prediabetes, affects more than half of all Americans today. However, this explanation is too simplistic. Dr. Even Joslin showed that between 1900 and 1917, sugar intake had increased by 17% while mortality from diabetes had doubled. Later, in 1987, a study of Native Americans showed radically different rates of death from diabetes, depending on territory, ranging from 7 per thousand in the North-West to 380 per thousand in Arizona! During those years, neither lifestyle nor diet could explain such a divergence. One environmental factor, however, can indeed explain such a difference: the electrification of Native American reservations proceeded at different paces, and those in the North-West were only electrified much later. By contrast, the Arizona reservation lies in the immediate vicinity of Phoenix. Moreover, this Native American community had its own power plant and its own telecommunications system. Another example is the population of Brazil – a major sugar producer for centuries, where diabetes was still unknown in 1870, after it had already emerged as a disease of civilization in North America. Even today, Brazilians consume 70 kg of refined sugar per year and per person – more than North Americans: and yet they still have two and a half times fewer cases of diabetes than the USA. In Bhutan, diabetes was virtually non-existent until 2002, after which the electrification of the country began. In 2004, 634 new cases of diabetes were announced, in 2005 – 944, in 2006 – 1,470, and in 2007 – 2,540, with 15 deaths. In 2012, there were 91 deaths and diabetes was the eighth leading cause of death in the country, even though people’s diet had not changed! As we saw in the previous chapter, electronic smog acting on mitochondria prevents the efficient use of absorbed sugar – i.e. the combustion of sugar. The sugar which cannot be converted into mechanical energy is stored as fat by the body. Statistical graphs for diabetes death rates, broken down by the degree of electrification of the American states in 1931 and 1940, are also very explicit and leave no doubt as to the role played by electromagnetic fields in the appearance of large-scale diabetes, thus exonerating sugar consumption to some extent. In 1997, there was a 31% increase in the number of cases of diabetes in the United States in a single year, which precisely correlated with the mass introduction of cell phones in the country. 13. Cancer and the Starvation of Life In February 2011, the Supreme Court of Italy accused Cardinal Roberto Tucci, the outgoing president of Vatican Radio, of having created a public nuisance by polluting the environment with radio frequencies through negligence. In fact, in the period from 1997 to 2003, the children living within a 12 km radius of the radio antennas had an eight times higher rate of leukemia, lymphomas or myelomas than those who lived further away. The same held true for adults, with a rate seven times higher. The German doctor and professor Otto Heinrich Warburg, winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1931, showed that cancer is a regression of oxygen-deprived cells, which drives them to multiply anarchically, as in a primeval world where oxygen was not present to the extent that it is today. The initial oxygen deprivation is due to a malfunction of the mitochondria – which, as we have seen, can be caused by electromagnetic fields or other pollutants, such as smoke, pesticides, food additives and air pollution. The same principle of cellular oxygen deficiency applies to diabetes, which is why there is a higher rate of cancers among diabetics than in the rest of the population. At Philadelphia Zoo, from 1901 to 1955, a rise in the rate of malignant tumors was noted in mammals, varying from twice to 22 times more between those dates. Cancer death statistics show a clear correlation between the electrification of countries and cancer rates. For example, in the USA, the rate was 6.6 per thousand from 1841 to 1850. It subsequently more than doubled from 1851 to 1860, with a rate of 14 per thousand. The true explanation for this can be found in the mass deployment of the telegraph in 1854. In 1914, there were two deaths from cancer among the 63,000 Native Americans living in reserves without electrification, while in the rest of the country the cancer mortality rate was 25 times higher. Between 1920 and 1921, following the introduction of the first AM radio stations, cancer mortality increased by between 3 and 10% in western countries. The Swedish researchers Olle Johansson and Orjan Hallberg have shown a clear correlation between breast, prostate and lung cancer rates and the exposure of the population to radio frequencies. They point to a significant increase in rates in 1920, 1955, 1969 and a decrease (!) in 1978, corresponding respectively to the increase in radio frequency smog due to the introduction of AM radio, FM radio and TV1, the arrival of color TV2, and then the cessation of AM radio broadcasts. These same researchers have likewise found a very clear linear correlation between the number of FM radio transmitters per region and the incidence of melanomas, with the exposed locations having 11 times more melanomas than the “white zones”. They also found that melanomas rarely appear on those areas of the body most exposed to the sun, such as the forehead, nose, shoulders and feet, but more often in those areas of the body usually protected from the sun. Moreover, the proliferation of skin cancers occurred before the coming into fashion of seaside holidays, during which sun exposure is intense. This shows that melanomas are not predominantly caused by the sun, but by radio frequencies. The statistical graphs of death rates from cancer, as well as from diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, broken down by the degree of electrification of American states in 1931 and 1940, are likewise very explicit, leaving no doubt whatever that electromagnetic fields play a role in the increase in cancers. Genuine data on brain tumors is hard to find, as the cell phone lobby has been infiltrating this field for decades in order to commission biased studies. One of their studies even shows a decrease in the incidence of tumors, correlating with the intensive use of cell phones! However, the University of Calgary has found evidence of a 30% increase in the incidence of malignant brain tumors in the period from 2012 to 2013, and Lennart Hardell, Professor of Oncology at the University Hospital of Örebro in Sweden, has demonstrated that 2,000 hours of cell phone use increases the risk of developing a tumor by a factor of between three and eight, depending on the age of the subject and their phone habits. In 2000, Neil Cherry analyzed the cancer rates of children in San Francisco in relation to the distance between their home and the television and FM radio transmitters on Sutro Tower. Children living on hills or ridges were more affected. Those who lived within 1 km of the antenna had a 9 times higher incidence of leukemia, a 15 times higher incidence of lymphoma and a 31 times higher incidence of brain cancer — overall, an 18 times higher rate than those living outside that 1 km radius. 14. Suspended Animation A Practical Treatise on Nervous Exhaustion (1880) by George Miller Beard, the electrotherapist and friend of Thomas Edison, contains an intriguing observation: Although these difficulties are not directly fatal, and so do not appear in the mortality tables; although, on the contrary, they may tend to prolong life and to protect the system against febrile and inflammatory disease, yet the degree of suffering they cause is enormous. Those who suffered the most seemed rather young for their age. Furthermore, Beard noted that one rare disease seemed more likely to afflict the neurasthenic subjects than the rest of the population: that disease was diabetes. Beard had already observed that the increase in life expectancy did not go hand in hand with life quality. The mysterious correlation between the sufferings of neurasthenic people – whose symptoms were the same as those of contemporary electro-hypersensitive people – and the prolongation of their lives pointed to a major dysfunction. In addition, it has long been observed that an ascetic lifestyle with a low-calorie diet can increase life expectancy and health. This is the case, for example, with the population of Okinawa, where the number of centenarians is forty times greater than those in the population of richer prefectures further to the north. Researchers in the field of ageing have pointed out that the force that drives and sustains our lives is the system of electron transport in the mitochondria of our cells. It is here that the air we breathe and the food we eat are combined, at a rate that determines our rate of ageing and hence our life expectancy. Whereas the achievement of a slowing down of the combustion process within our cells through moderating the amount of energy delivered may be beneficial, another way of slowing down may conversely be disastrous. This is the poisoning of the electron transport chain. One possible way of being poisoned is chronic exposure to artificial electromagnetic fields. This ever-increasing pollution subjects the electrons of our mitochondria to external forces, slowing them down, depriving our cells of oxygen and causing EHS symptoms. 15. You mean you can hear electricity? In 1962, a woman contacted the University of Santa Barbara (CA, USA) asking for help in finding the source of the mysterious sound that she was hearing everywhere at home, even though she lived in a quiet residential district. This sound was keeping her awake and was detrimental to her health. Measurements did indeed show that particularly strong electromagnetic fields were emanating from all electrical conductors, not only from the grid but also from the radiators and other metallic elements, yet the stethoscope itself detected no sound at all. The engineer carried out an experiment, recording the measured fields on tape and playing them to the woman affected by these noises. She confirmed that that was what she was hearing. So, this woman was able to hear the electromagnetic fields in her environment. Grounding facilities and electronic filters were installed to reduce disturbances to an acceptable level. However, long before that, Volta and other researchers had already conducted experiments in which they had successfully produced various sounds by applying voltage to the ears. Much later, in the late 1960s, the biologist Allan Frey published articles on the ability of some subjects to hear emissions from a radar installation. The mechanical model of the functioning of the ear as taught in schools does not provide any explanation for these observed phenomena. Noting this, the biochemist Lionel Naftalin developed a new model of the functioning of the human ear, taking into account the well-known phenomenon of piezo-electricity (a force utilized by electronicians), which he discovered in the gel covering the cilia of the inner ear. In this gel, which is found nowhere else in the human body and has special electrical properties, a voltage of 100 to 120 millivolts was present – which is considered high in the field of bioelectronics. This piezo-electric gel transforms sound waves into an electrical signal that is communicated to the cilia of the inner ear. This new, revised model of the functioning of the human ear not only explains the ability of certain subjects to hear an electromagnetic signal under certain conditions, but also why so modern-day people suffer from tinnitus, and why certain groups of people, amounting to 2 to 11% of the world's population, are hearing a global humming all around the planet. Today, about 44% of American adults suffer from tinnitus at various levels of intensity, while in Sweden the number of young people affected was 12% in 1997 and 42% in 2006. These parasitic sounds are largely the result of living in an environment that is heavily polluted with all kinds of artificial electromagnetic fields. 16. Bees, Birds, Trees, and Humans Alfonso Balmori Marinez, a Spanish biologist, has correlated the population density of sparrows with the radio-frequency radiation values in their habitats. Sparrows cannot survive in the most irradiated places, where levels exceed 3 V/m, whereas there are still 42 birds per hectare at levels of 0.1 V/m. He has also observed a marked change in the behavior of storks, whereby stork pairs will fight instead of building the nest or incubating the eggs if they are within 200m of a cell tower. The United Kingdom classed the house sparrow as an endangered species after its population declined by 75% between 1994 and 2002 – a period that coincided with the deployment of cell phone technology. Homing pigeon breeders on several continents have found that, when released, up to 90% of pigeons fail to find their way back to the dovecote, whereas this percentage should normally be tiny. In 2000, English breeders tried to reroute a race so as to avoid cell towers, in order to give the pigeons a better chance of homing successfully. In 2004, those same breeders commissioned more extensive studies on the impact of microwaves on pigeons. In 2002, the US National Park Service issued a note to biologists studying wild animal behavior, explaining that RFID chips attached to those animals to track them with radio frequencies can radically alter their behavior due to the radio frequencies generated. In environments polluted by electromagnetic fields, robins cannot find their bearings for migration – whereas when they are in a Faraday cage, they are able to do so. An experiment on frog tadpoles reared in two separate pools within 140m of a cell tower, one without and the other with electromagnetic shielding, displayed mortality rates of 90% and 4% respectively. The same type of harmful effects are found in insects when they are exposed to the electronic smog that we encounter on a daily basis, and Dr. Panagopoulous, who has experimented on fruit flies, reports that exposure to microwaves at common levels – even for just a few minutes a day for a few days – is the worst known stressor in our daily lives, even worse than chemicals or low-frequency electromagnetic fields. Bees are also being negatively impacted, as we saw on the Isle of Wight at the beginning of this summary. Dr. Daniel Favre (Switzerland) has demonstrated that in the presence of microwaves, bees emit the sound typically heard when they swarm, which suggests that the insects want to escape the emission source. The varroa mite is generally blamed for colony collapse syndrome; however, we forget that this mite has cohabited with bees for a long time. In addition, it can often be observed that nowadays even a dead colony is not infested with parasites, even though this used to be the case “before”. The finger of blame is also levelled at pesticides – yet, as we have seen, 90% of the bees on the Isle of Wight disappeared without any pesticides having been used in that area. The true cause of colony collapse is found in human-generated electromagnetic fields, especially cell phone technology. In the 1980s, a burning issue emerged: the death of forests. This was blamed on acid rain – yet the most remote areas with the cleanest air were equally affected. Research was carried out in Germany and Switzerland, and although the soil in the affected forests did indeed prove to be acidic, observation and experimentation showed that such acidity could also be the result of the slow electrolysis of the soil via trees exposed to radar waves, for example. Moreover, trees on ridges were more severely affected as they were more exposed to the new radars installed in the 1970s. Another observation was made at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The gigantic Russian radars at Skruda, which were heavily irradiating the whole region in their task of monitoring the West, had not only caused harm to the forest, but also to animals and human beings. After numerous studies, it was found that the growth rings of the trees during the years when the radars were operating were much smaller than those from either before or after that period. In Schwarzenburg in Switzerland, a shortwave radio antenna was installed in 1939, and the transmission power was subsequently increased to 450 kW in 1954. This was followed by a deterioration in the health of the local inhabitants, who complained of EHS symptoms. The village children had difficulties at school and seemed unable to advance to higher education, unlike the children of less exposed neighboring villages. Finally, in 1992, a study was carried out which confirmed that, within a radius of 900m of the antenna, the physiological analysis parameters of the people and animals at the site were abnormal. It was also found that the tree growth rings were compressed – but only on the side facing the radiation source. On March 28th 1998, the transmitter was shut down and a “before-and- after” study was carried out; this demonstrated that the melatonin levels of the 58 subjects tested had increased again. A 50-year-old villager was finally able to sleep for a full night without interruption for the first time in his life. On May 29th 1996, Philippe Roch, Director of the Office for the Environment, stated that there was “a proven correlation between the sleep disorders and communications operations". 17. In the Country of the Blind How much longer do we have to wait before being able to say "Your cell phone is killing me!” rather than "I'm electro-hypersensitive”? And yet the number of people suffering from headaches due to using cell phones is huge. In 2010, two-thirds of Ukrainian university students interviewed admitted the fact that it is not socially acceptable to openly discuss this issue. Gro Harlem Brundtland was EHS when she was head of the World Health Organization. She was quite open about the fact, but was forced to resign from her post one year later. This deterred other high-ranking public figures from following her example. Only a minority of people suffering from electromagnetic pollution know what they are suffering from, while the great majority have no idea. The entire population is being electrocuted by remote control and one almost has to apologize for being electro-sensitive or, to be precise, electro-hypersensitive, just as if one had to apologize for being "cyanide- hypersensitive". For the truth is that electricity, as it is currently being used, is toxic. Moreover, statistical graphs clearly show an increase in the mortality rate of the inhabitants of nine American cities shortly after the first base stations were put into operation. This increased mortality ranges from 25 to over 80%. A survey conducted by a daily newspaper, which asked New Yorkers to report whether they had begun suffering from a number of EHS symptoms after November 15th, 1996, gathered hundreds of testimonies from a wide range of racial and social classes. The date in question was the day when the first cell phone network went into operation. The Cellular Phone Task Force, an organization started by Arthur Firstenberg in 1996, is inundated with requests for help from people harmed by microwave radio frequencies. So many emitters of all kinds proliferate – from WiFi, WiMAX, radar stations and irradiation emitted from the sky by telecommunications satellites, that it seems as if soon there will be nowhere to escape to. Prof. Olle Johansson of the prestigious Karolinska Institute, who is famous for awarding the Nobel Prize for Medicine, has focused on demonstrating the effects of electronic smog on living organisms since 1977. The success of his studies led to his being marginalized at his institute, the funding for his research disappearing and to his receiving death threats; on one occasion, he narrowly escaped an attempt on his life through the sabotage of his motorcycle. Despite everything, he continues to inform the world of the truth in order to defend, among others, those suffering from EHS, whose lives have become hell on earth. He is disgusted by the way in which the governments of so-called “democratic” countries have simply abandoned the victims of radio frequencies to their fate. Dr Erica Mallery-Blythe, who has dual British and American nationality, completed her studies in 1998. In 2007, after following her F-16 pilot husband to the USA, she became severely affected by EHS without realizing it. Her internet researches finally enabled her to understand what was happening to her. As a doctor, she was puzzled as to how such a profound and disabling condition could exist without her ever having heard of it in her profession. To set her mind at rest, she decided to undergo an MRI to rule out the risk of brain cancer. She believed that her death was imminent when the high frequency pulsations were engaged, but recovered full health and vitality in Death Valley, far from radio frequencies. Since then, she has dedicated herself to informing and helping the 5% (at least) of the population who are EHS and have been totally abandoned by the authorities. Yury Grigoriev, who is generally regarded as the grandfather of electromagnetic research in Russia, is extremely concerned about young people above all, and has stated that this is the first time in the history of humanity that people’s brains are being openly exposed to microwaves – which is extremely serious in the eyes of a radiobiologist. In particular, he cites a Korean study which shows that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is connected to the use of cell phones. In the late 1990s, the Swedish neurosurgeon Leif Salford and his team proved that cell phones make the blood-brain barrier permeable, causing Alzheimer's disease. In 2003 they showed that a single exposure of only two hours causes permanent damage to the brain. In 2015, Turkish scientists irradiated rats for an hour a day for a month, using typical cell phone waves. The irradiated rats had 10% fewer brain cells than those that had been spared that treatment. The same team experimented on pregnant rats for 9 days at the same radiation level. The rats’ progeny showed degeneration of the brain, spinal cord, heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, thymus and testicles. The same experiment repeated on young rats caused atrophy of the spinal cord together with decreased myelin, like that seen in multiple sclerosis. In September 1998, the first 66 satellites for space telephony went into operation, causing an increase in the USA’s national mortality rate of nearly 5% in the two subsequent weeks. During the same period, it was observed that birds were no longer flying and that EHS people became particularly ill. Today, about 1,100 artificial satellites fly over us, but several companies – Google, Facebook, SpaceX, OneWeb and Samsung – are planning to launch up to 4,600 new communications satellites each by 2020, in order to blanket the entire planet with high-speed Internet access. In 1968, even the first small fleet of 28 military satellites precipitated a worldwide flu pandemic. Unlike a ground-based antenna, whose radiation is highly attenuated when it reaches the magnetosphere, satellites act directly on it through mechanisms that are still poorly understood, thus compromising life on earth. We forget the warnings of Ross Adey, the grandfather of bioelectromagnetics, and of the atmospheric physicist Neil Cherry, that we are electrically regulated by the world surrounding us and that the safe level of exposure to radio frequencies is therefore zero. This potentially catastrophic initiative must be opposed and the organization leading the way is the Global Union Against Radiation Deployment from Space (GUARDS; www.stopglobalwifi.org/). In 2014, the physician Tetsuharu Shinjyo published a "before-and-after" study. He evaluated the health of 122 inhabitants of a building on which base station antennas had been installed. Twenty-one suffered from chronic fatigue, 14 from dizziness or Ménière’s disease, 14 from headaches, 17 from eye pain or infections, 14 from insomnia and 10 from chronic nosebleeds. Five months after the antennas were removed, only 2 cases of insomnia, 1 case of vertigo and 1 case of headaches remained! This human rights emergency, which affects hundreds of millions of people on a planetary scale, and the environmental emergency that threatens the extinction of countless species of plants and animals must be faced with clear-sighted and unflinching resolutions.

£72.5-million investment for laser and radio frequency weapons From: Ministry of Defence and Defence Science and Technology Laboratory Publishedm14 September 2021 Three contracts awarded to produce new Directed Energy Weapons advanced demonstrators for British Army vehicles and Royal Navy frigate The MOD has awarded three contracts worth around £72.5-million to UK industry to produce advanced laser and radio frequency demonstrators as part of the Novel Weapons Programme (NWP). Known collectively as Directed Energy Weapons (DEW), these next-generation technologies could revolutionise the battlefield and reduce the risk of collateral damage. The systems are powered by electricity and operate without ammunition, significantly reducing operating costs, increasing platform endurance and providing unprecedented offensive and defensive flexibility to personnel on the frontline. UK’s Dragonfire Laser Directed Energy Weapon Started Trials: SOURCE Awarded to consortia headed by Thales and Raytheon UK, the four-year contracts will create at least 49 new jobs and sustain 249 jobs. The first laser will undergo user testing onboard a Royal Navy Type 23 frigate by detecting, tracking, engaging and countering Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), whilst the British Army’s Wolfhound armoured vehicle will host a laser demonstrator that will investigate capability against UAV and other air threats. The radio frequency demonstrator will also be used by the British Army, hosted on a MAN SV truck to detect and track a variety of air, land and sea targets. This will create around 30 new jobs at Thales in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Minister for Defence Procurement, Jeremy Quin, said: “We are investing £6.6-billion in research and development across Defence over the next four years, reaffirming our commitment to provide the Armed Forces with truly advanced capabilities. “Directed Energy Weapons are a key element of our future equipment programmes and we intend to become a world-leader in the research, manufacture and implementation of this next-generation technology.” Marking a significant step towards the use of high-powered laser and radio frequency weapons across Defence, the investment reaffirms commitments outlined in the Defence Command Paper ensuring UK Armed Forces are equipped with the best possible equipment ready to deal with new and emerging threats. Further supported by an increase of £24-billion of Defence spending over the next four years and an additional £6.6 billion of funding for research and development, this a prime example of how the MOD is using research partnerships with industry to invest in the technology of tomorrow. These innovative capabilities will be integrated onto existing platforms for the Royal Navy and British Army and will undergo user experimentation from 2023 to 2025. The experimentation will focus on operation and maintenance of these new systems and will provide invaluable knowledge, information and experience to assess whether DEW can be fully embedded on other Defence assets in the future. MOD Director Strategic Programmes, Shimon Fhima said: “These technologies have the potential to revolutionise the future battlefield for our Armed Forces, enabling the prosecution of new targets in the land, sea and air domains and allowing commanders to meet mission objectives in new ways. “We must exploit at pace the cutting-edge technologies developed by the talented scientists and engineers across the UK to capitalise on its benefit.” The newly formed Team Hersa brings together the best acquisition skills from Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) and the best in technical expertise from the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl). Team Hersa will manage delivery of the demonstrators and is responsible for preparing Defence for the introduction of innovative weapons systems, ensuring the UK Armed Forces can successfully integrate the weapons on current aircraft, ships and vehicles. The new contracts will exploit decades of MOD experience developing cutting-edge laser and radio frequency weapons technology and globally recognised strengths in performance testing and evaluation of these systems.

Wild rosemary intake is directly associated with improved overall health and healthy aging/longevity, as demonstrated by the Italian village of Acchioli, where regular rosemary users enjoy robust health and long-life. For optimal results take the Rosemanol daily, along with the aromatic essence, the Essence of Wild Rosemary. ROSEMARY & RADIATION - A STUDY Abstract Several herbs have been screened for their antioxidative activity using the chemiluminescence method. Rosemary contains phenolic diterpenes, phenolic acids and flavonoids which protect cells and their organic constituent molecules from free radical radiation-induced oxidative damage. Effects of 0.1 and 0.2 g/Kg body wt. of Rosemary extract on radiation-induced morbidity and mortality in mice exposed to 10Gy of gamma radiation were studied for the characterization of high-efficiency protection exhibited by Rosemary extract. Conclusions Rosemary extract shows remarkable activity in stabilization of organic substrate. Rosemary extract could offer protection against the effects of ionizing radiation because of their ability to scavenge free radicals. Phenolic diterpenes, caffeic and rosmarinic acids associated with flavonoids in Rosemary extract suppress lipid peroxidation and stop oxidative DNA damage and so it may be useful as radio-protective agent. Chemiluminescence has proved its versatility in fast and accurate assessment degradation study.

by Peter Geoghegan for Open Democracy 29 April 2022, 10.01am Michael Gove smeared us. Now we have been vindicated by an official inquiry. The levelling up secretary attacked our ‘Clearing House’ reporting. Today, he is the one who looks ‘ridiculous’ The levelling up secretary attacked our ‘Clearing House’ reporting. Today, he is the one who looks ‘ridiculous’ Here at openDemocracy, we are no stranger to smears from politicians. MPs have intentionally spread inaccuracies about our journalism. They have accused us of acting in bad faith. They have even tried to sue us into silence. But in March last year, for the first time that I can recall, a sitting British cabinet minister attacked our journalism in an official government statement. Michael Gove – in a letter headed with the Queen’s insignia – declared that openDemocracy’s revelations about the existence of a secretive Freedom of Information ‘Clearing House’ in his Cabinet Office was “ridiculous and tendentious”. Today, Gove’s words have been exposed for what they always were: a cheap smear designed to distract and obfuscate. But they have failed. A newly published report into the ‘Clearing House’ by the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (PACAC) – sparked by openDemocracy’s investigations – is a damning indictment of the British government’s attempts to block even basic transparency. PACAC details a culture in the Cabinet Office of secrecy and opacity in which the Clearing House has been vetting Freedom of Information requests from journalists and others and advising departments on how best to frustrate requests deemed sensitive. These aren’t a bunch of opposition MPs aiming a politically-motivated kick at the government. PACAC has a Conservative majority. Its chair, Tory MP William Wragg, didn’t mince his words. “Cabinet Office has dragged its feet for too long on this issue and must act now to remove suspicion around the Clearing House, improve compliance with FOI laws and regain public confidence,” Wragg said today. Neither Gove – now the UK’s levelling up secretary – or his successor as Cabinet Office secretary Steve Barclay have commented at the time of writing. Freedom of information in Britain is broken. This matters. FOI exists for all of us. The right to know belongs to you as much as it does to me. But time and again since openDemocracy first reported on the clearing house in late 2020, the British government has sought to silence our journalism. When a dozen current and former Fleet Street newspaper editors signed an open letter from openDemocracy calling for an inquiry into the FOI, the government published a long rebuttal on the gov.uk website. If I were being kind, I’d call it “ridiculous and tendentious”. (You can read it for yourself here.) The Cabinet Office spent £40,000 of public money on lawyers last year to try to avoid releasing information about the Clearing House to us. It lost, with judge Chris Hughes finding that there was a “profound lack of transparency about the operation”, which might “extend to ministers”. But still the government kept pretending there was nothing to see. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) watchdog, which regulates FOI, offered to audit the Clearing House. The Cabinet Office said no. When MPs launched an investigation into the Clearing House, the Cabinet Office responded by announcing that it was running its own inquiry. It only appointed someone to run the review yesterday, and still has yet to set the terms of reference. (The PACAC report branded this an “unacceptable delay”.) The sunlight of transparency is the best form of political disinfectant. That’s especially the case with Boris Johnson’s government. This is a government mired in cronyism, an administration in which massive COVID contracts are doled out to ‘politically connected’ VIP firms and Tory donors get a hot line to the centre of power. Against this backdrop, it’s hard to see the record low rates of FOI responses in Whitehall as a coincidence. The British government’s attacks on transparency are part of a wider pattern of undermining democracy. Boris Johnson has introduced an elections bill that will make it harder to vote but do nothing to stop flows of ‘dark money’ into British politics, policing legislation that will criminalise peaceful protest, and a nationality and borders bill that can strip British citizenship with the flick of a pen. But we should not get despondent yet. Today’s parliamentary report is hard evidence of something that is all too easy to forget: that change is possible, especially when we act together. Parliament’s inquiry into the Cabinet Office’s clearing house followed dozens of stories on openDemocracy about the perilous state of FOI in Britain, investigations that revealed the inner workings of this secretive unit at the heart of government. But the PACAC probe also came in the wake of a huge mobilisation by our readers and supporters. Last year, nearly 50,000 people signed a petition opposing this government secrecy. More than 4,000 openDemocracy readers responded to a survey on FOI. Readers crowdfunded public opinion polling, which showed that 87% of respondents said they were much less likely to vote for a party with a record of government secrecy. We will keep fighting to make our FOI system fit for purpose. Last month, more than 110 journalists and campaigners signed an open letter urging the new Information Commissioner to do more in holding ministers and departments accountable. At openDemocracy we believe in giving you – our readers – the tools to make change. That’s why we recently introduced a new tool that allows readers to write to their MPs on the back of our stories, something tens of thousands of you have done in a few short months. No wonder Michael Gove and his colleagues in government use smears to block even basic democratic accountability. But today it’s clear who is “ridiculous and tendentious”. And it isn’t us.

Many of you will remember the great work Lois had been doing helping parents formulate letters to schools and her part in the Metropolitan police case of which many members of NOTB aided in collecting witness statements. She is still being harassed the Solicitor's governing body. OPEN LETTER BY LOIS BAYLISS TO SRA Solicitor's Regulation Authority The Cube 199 Wharfside Street Birmingham B1 1RN 25th July 2023 Dear Sirs OPEN LETTER I refer to your letter dated 21st of April 2023 whereby you confirmed that you would update me by the 21st of July 2023 which said date has now passed. As you will no doubt be aware, I have at all times met with deadlines for responses agreed with the SRA and I am somewhat surprised that the 21st of July 2023 has indeed passed without any acknowledgment or communication from yourself. The fact is, I have received no communication from you since the 21st of April 2023. The SRA is clearly aware of the stress and anxiety these matters can cause to practitioners as evidenced by the fact that you have provided information to these psychological harms with previous correspondence. Given the circumstances, I would propose that matters are moved forward and to this end I suggest we engage in a round table recorded event to discuss the matters of the allegations made against me. The underlying science behind this case is entirely relevant. It is therefore, strongly suggested that the SRA brings its own legal, medical and scientific team to the table, and I will do the same. This will provide a forum for matters to be discussed openly and frankly, from a detailed exchange of research information as well as statistical data which will be relevant to the case as well as any other matters either party should wish to raise. I reserve the right to draw this letter to the attention of the court on the issue of costs as it is quite apparent that the SRA have presented no substantive response in rebuttal of the scientific evidence disclosed by me which in itself is fundamental to driving my motivation, nor indeed have they even commented upon the witness evidence (approximately 1,000 emails) and 100s of signed statements of truth regarding adverse events caused by the Covid19 vaccinations. Furthermore, the SRA have failed to substantively respond to complaints against them raised by me and almost 1,000 complaints from members of the public which have comprised of many elements. Not only is this unacceptable but the published times in which a substantive response ought to be expected has been exceeded. Finally, I would point out that although your investigation against me was initiated in or around February 2022, despite several request from me, you have failed to provide any complaints which have been made against me until April 2023. I am appalled that the SRA has seen fit to deprive me of material disclosure relevant to this case in order that I might properly defend myself prior to the SRA arriving at the decision to refer me to the SDT. This has severely disadvantaged and prejudiced my position which is unacceptable and upon review of the disclosed complaints from April 2023 it is clear you have still failed to provide full material disclosure of the same. As I am sure you are aware, the SRA have previously confirmed in writing to me; “..we are not relying on these complaints” in relation to this action. As I have already indicated, this is clearly nonsensical - but for any complaints, no investigation would have even begun. There is a clear contradiction by the SRA which has yet to be explained. I look forward to hearing from you with extreme urgency in relation to the above. Please note that this is an open letter and will be released immediately into the public domain (as will your response) as it relates to a matter which is of obvious widespread public interest and is a matter of international importance. Yours faithfully, Lois Bayliss Broad Yorkshire Law DOWNLOAD THE LETTER

A group of scientists and doctors have gathered the evidence we have been waiting for and published a paper in the Lancet that was censored within 24hrs. The paper collated 325 autopsies of the vaccinated and found that an incredible 74% of them had indeed died from one of the C19 vaccines These are the paper's authors. Nicolas HulscherBS Paul E. Alexander, PhD Richard Amerling, MD Heather Gessling, MD Roger Hodkinson, MD William Makis, MD Harvey A. Risch, MD, PhD Mark Trozzi, MD Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: This landmark paper reviewed the largest number of autopsy reports published to date relating to COVID-19 vaccination, injury and sudden death. They identified 44 papers with 325 autopsy cases and three physicians (including myself) independently reviewed all deaths and found: 74% of all deaths were either caused or contributed to by COVID vaccines 53% of these deaths involved the cardiovascular system 17% of these deaths involved the hematological system 8% of these deaths involved the respiratory system 7% of these deaths involved multiple organ systems The mean number of days from vaccination to death was 14.3 days. AUTHOR'S CONCLUSION COVID-19 vaccines should be immediately taken off the market and the entire LNP/mRNA platform should be suspended and thoroughly investigated. SIGN OUR PETITION HERE As you know Not On The Beeb has been calling a withdrawal of the vaccine and calling for an investigation since the summer of 2021 If you have not already done so, please sign our petition Petition requesting urgent investigation and analysis of the C19 Vaccines To the British Police, Judiciary, Crown Prosecution Service and members of Parliament. The people of Britain (and the world) request the British police seize multiple sample vials of the C19 vaccines and conduct an immediate open, independent and detailed analysis of the contents. ​ The signatories of this petition back the work of lawyers Lois Bayliss and Philip Hyland working alongside Dr Samuel White, Mark Sexton and team submitting evidence under Hammersmith Police crime number: 6029679/21 1 - Why are so many people suffering adverse events and death after COVID-19 vaccinations? ​ 2 - Why are so many of our fittest sportspeople collapsing and suffering myocarditis, heart attacks and death post-vaccination? ​ 3 - Why have the vaccine manufacturers withheld ingredients? Undisclosed ingredients are illegal and involve the deception of the public. ​ 4 - Why have independent scientific reports of Graphene Oxide and other contaminants not been publically investigated? ​ 5 - Why are the various batches of the vaccine clearly different? As per VAERS data, most adverse reactions are coming from a few batches. This clearly indicates suspect manufacturing. ​ 6 - With all these doubts concerning safety, why is the vaccine rollout continuing in British schools 7 - As of December 6th 2022 why has such a product with such a record been authorised for our youngest children between 6 months and 4 years old? ​ NOTE>>> If you are a nurse, doctor, health professional, scientist, or have releva. nt qualifications, please sign the Health expert's petition I, the undersigned, request the British police seize samples of the vaccine and instigate an urgent public scientific review, regarding the safety, legitimacy and ethical implications of the ingredients and the biotechnology that are causing widespread serious adverse reactions post-COVID-19 vaccination. ​ Concerning the vaccination programme, we request an immediate injunction forcing a nationwide pause on the roll-out for all age ranges until we have clear answers from the police investigations.

It's been good news to see Subject Access requests by Nigel Farage have outed the lies of the banks and forced a public apology. You might remember that just a couple of weeks ago both Coutts and NatWest were closing his accounts, apparently due to simple financial decisions on behalf of banking terms and conditions. Farage used the Subject Access legislation forcing the banks to reveal the inner communications, proving Farage's suspicions were correct and indeed the banks had closed his accounts purely due to his political beliefs. Love him or hate him, the banks were breaching Farage's basic rights, since all citizens must have full access to financial services. PayPal are still guilty of closing multiple accounts of freedom-fighting organisations and alternative media outlets including Not On The Beeb, and by association the personal accounts of NOTB founder Mark Playne. NatWest CEO apologises to Nigel Farage over 'deeply inappropriate' Coutts banking fiasco By CHRISTIAN CALGIE - SENIOR POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT , MILLIE COOKE - POLITICAL REPORTER It comes after Coutts bank closed Mr Farage's account after he fell below their £1million wealth threshold but evidence provided by the former UKIP leader suggests the closure was due to his political views. Natwest Bank has formally apologised to Nigel Farage following days of a high-profile media storm. Mr Farage was exited as a customer of Coutts last month and began a campaign to change rules around freedom of speech and a right to a bank account. In a letter to Mr Farage, Alison Rose, the CEO of Natwest - which owns Coutts Bank - said: "I am writing to apologise for the deeply inappropriate comments about yourself made in the now published papers prepared for the Wealth Committee. Alison Rose said the views expressed in the 40-page memo acquired by Mr Farage "do not reflect the view of the bank". She added: "I believe very strongly that freedom of expression and access to banking are fundamental to our society and it is absolutely not our policy to exit a customer on the basis of legally held political and personal views. "To this end, I would also like to personally reiterate our offer to you of alternate banking arrangements at Natwest." In a statement, Mr Farage hit back: "Dame Alison Rose’s apology is a start, but it is no more than that. "She needs to take responsibility as CEO, and is wrong to say the views of her own committee’s report don’t reflect the bank. "I will now defend thousands of other people that have been de-banked on her watch." A source told the Daily Express that a senior executive at Coutts told Mr Farage that the issue had been "taken out of their hands" before the decision to close his account was made. On July 4 Coutts sources briefed the BBC's Simon Jack they hadn't closed Mr Farage's account because of his political views, but because he had fallen below their £1 million wealth threshold. Bombshell evidence revealed by Nigel Farage this week, however, seemed to disprove that claim. Mr Farage submitted a Subject Access Request to the bank, a legal means by which you can force a company to hand over their data about you. The document he received showed an extensive briefing about his pro-Brexit, pro-Donald Trump views, as well as accusing him of having links with Russia. Last night the Telegraph revealed that the BBC's Simon Jack sat next to Natwest chief executive Dame Alison Rose at a dinner in London the night before he published the banks' counterclaims about Mr Farage's wealth being insufficient. Mr Jack and the BBC are yet to apologise or amend their original claims. https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1793367/NatWest-CEO-apologise-Nigel-Farage-Coutts-bank

This is another stunning denial by the UK government esp since the publication of this paper proving the link between vaccinations and sudden deaths. The Government has responded to the petition you signed – “Launch a Public Inquiry into excess mortality in England and Wales”. This was the simple petition's simple and urgent premise. The excess deaths are of huge concern to the public and the causes must be established. Some are concerned that these excess deaths may be a result of the Covid 19 vaccines. An urgent investigation is needed to establish the true causes. (Thanks to Daf and Karl for drawing attention to this) Government responded: The Government has no plans for a further public inquiry. It is taking steps to reduce excess deaths. There is no evidence linking excess deaths to the COVID-19 vaccine. The ONS published analysis in February 2023 that showed that the COVID-19 mortality rate has been consistently lower since the COVID-19 vaccine booster introduction in September 2021 for people who have had at least a third dose or booster, compared with unvaccinated people and those with just a first or second dose. When looking at deaths from other causes, mortality rates are broadly consistent between those who have received at least a third dose or booster and those who have not received any. The observed excess deaths are likely caused by a range of factors, but COVID-19 vaccination is not one of them. Safe and effective vaccines have underpinned our strategy for living with COVID-19 and have saved tens of thousands of lives, whilst also significantly reducing the pressure on the NHS. Each candidate COVID-19 vaccine is assessed by teams of scientists and clinicians on a case-by-case basis and is only authorised once it has met robust standards of effectiveness, safety and quality set by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). The MHRA has also implemented a proactive vaccine safety surveillance strategy for monitoring the continued safety of all UK-approved COVID-19 vaccines. Antivirals and other treatments provide a necessary additional defence by protecting patients who become infected with COVID-19, particularly those for whom the vaccine may be less effective such as the immunosuppressed. We are preparing for variants of COVID-19 and seasonal flu infections with an integrated COVID-19 booster and flu vaccination programme, minimising hospital admissions from both viruses. We have also launched a COVID-19 Inquiry to examine the UK’s preparedness and response to the pandemic and learn lessons for the future. Throughout the pandemic the Government acted to save lives and livelihoods, prevent the NHS being overwhelmed and deliver a world-leading vaccine rollout, which protected millions of lives across the nation. The Department is committed to supporting the Inquiry. The Inquiry also plans to add a Module on Vaccines and Therapeutics (Module 4). In addition to work to reduce deaths from COVID-19, we are also taking steps to reduce deaths from other diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recent data shows that more people are now receiving an NHS Health Check, a core part of our CVD prevention pathway, than before the pandemic. However, we want to go even further by creating a national digital check. The Department of continues to work with partners to consider what more can be done to improve the prevention, detection, diagnosis and management of CVD and we will set out our plan in the Major Conditions Strategy. Further information: https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2023-01-24/hcws514 We know that when people have heart attacks and strokes they need urgent care. That is why we have set an ambition in the recently published delivery plan for recovering urgent and emergency care services for ambulances getting to patients quicker: with improved ambulance response times for Category 2 incidents to 30 minutes on average over 2023/24, with further improvement in 2024/25 towards pre-pandemic levels. Further information:https://www.england.nhs.uk/2023/01/major-plan-to-recover-urgent-and-emergency-care-services/ The NHS has published a delivery plan setting out how the NHS will recover and expand elective services over the next three years. The plan commits the NHS to deliver 9 million additional treatments and diagnostic procedures over the next three years and around 30 per cent more elective activity than it was doing before the pandemic by 2024-25. Through the pathway improvement programme, we will create extra capacity for elective care and improve patient health outcomes.

UPDATE 10th JULY: DOJ APPEAL REJECTED! A federal judge on July 10 denied the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) request to stay a ruling that places limits on government communications with social media firms, rejecting the White House’s argument that such an order could put a damper on law enforcement activity online. SOURCE In a rather surprising development a U.S. District Judge, Terry Doughty, has temporarily blocked the White House, along with a number of federal agencies including the Justice Department, the FBI, the CDC, and others from pressuring social-media companies to censor free speech. (Missouri v. Biden). The case Missouri v. Biden opens with thisquote I may disapprove of what you say, but I would defend to the death your right to say it. Evelyn Beatrice Hill, 1906, The Friends of Voltaire They followed by reminding us of the USA's Founding Father's wisdom. For if men are to be precluded from offering their sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of speech may be taken away, and dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the slaughter. A US lawsuit followed with this opening: This case is about the Free Speech Clause in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The explosion of social-media platforms has resulted in unique free speech issues— this is especially true in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. If the allegations made by Plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history. In their attempts to suppress alleged disinformation, the Federal Government, and particularly the Defendants named here, are alleged to have blatantly ignored the First Amendment’s right to free speech. DOWNLOAD THE FULL CASE PDF HERE Mark Schneider writes for Protect Our Kids.... "...In a rather surprising development a U.S. District Judge, Terry Doughty, has temporarily blocked the White House, along with a number of federal agencies including the Justice Department, the FBI, the CDC, and others from pressuring social-media companies to censor free speech the government doesn’t happen to like (Missouri v. Biden). It’s fitting that the ruling was issued on Independence Day. Prompting it was government actors openly strong-arming companies like Twitter, Facebook, Google and a raft of other media organizations to censor viewpoints that challenged the government’s Covid narrative. Following Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, it came out that some 80 FBI agents had been embedded into social-media companies for this purpose. Writes Bret Swanson of the WSJ: “The agents mostly weren’t fighting terrorism but flagging wrongthink by American citizens, including imminent scientists who suggested different paths on Covid policy.” Of course, and as Judge Doughty notes in his Ruling, “the censorship alleged in this case almost exclusively targeted conservative speech.” Regardless of the outcome in Missouri, expect an appeal, then another one, until the Supreme Court is asked to map out the parameters of the First Amendment in our ever more censorial society. In the meantime, another form of censorship is raging across the nation, where dissenting voices are quashed, de-platformed, terminated from their jobs, or simply bullied into submission. I’m referring here to gender ideology. It’s been said that if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually believe it. Children are especially subject to such manipulation. According to the prevailing narrative in the public schools, we now get to choose our gender. And those who identify with a gender different from the one mistakenly “assigned at birth” must be “affirmed” in their gender choice. If not, according to the narrative, they will suffer a host of mental and emotional consequences that, if left untreated, may result in suicide. Along with the federal government and the nation’s public schools, this narrative is being pushed by the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and most other professional medical organizations. Medical schools too are being pressured to cave to the new orthodoxy or risk losing accreditation. Radicalized state legislators are similarly pushing the narrative. California's AB-957 would make parents who don't go along with their child's gender identity akin to child abusers. The gender narrative relies on two essential claims, both false: 1) Sex is not Binary, and 2), “Gender Affirming Care” (i.e., puberty blockers, cross-sex hormone treatment, gender transition surgery) results in beneficial, healthy, outcomes. Dr. Miriam Grossman, a practicing psychiatrist, author, and speaker, has been on the front lines of refuting the gender narrative before barely anyone knew it was an issue. In light of Judge Doughty’s ruling, Grossman’s remarks in the video below, made last year, are more pertinent than ever. During the Covid pandemic, as Bret Swanson notes, “legions of doctors stayed quiet after witnessing the demonization of their peers who challenged the Covid orthodoxy. A little censorship leads people to watch what they say. Millions of patients and citizens were deprived of important insights as a result.” It’s one thing for private professionals to suppress their opinions on matters of wide public interest; it’s quite another for the government to compel such suppression. This is something new, but “during the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth.’ “ U.S. District Judge, Terry Doughty, Missouri v. Biden. Today the same and worse is happening to an entire generation through gender ideology. This has been allowed to happen, in large part, through the silence of medical and other informed professionals who know better. It’s well past time to speak out. As Dr. Grossman exhorts, “We can’t be complicit in the lie by staying silent.” Indeed, we mustn’t..." Mark Schneider SOURCE

Pine needles have more Vitamin C than lemons or oranges by a whopping 4 to 5 times. Full of vitamins C & A, white pine contains many different acids, essential oils (terpenes, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes), resin, & starch. The pine needles contain a compound referred as alpha or beta-pinene. This compound acts naturally as a decongestant and has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antimicrobial, and anxiolytic properties. These healing properties when used properly can act as an expectorant, a circulatory stimulant, a mild diuretic, an immune stimulant, and even as emotional support! PINE NEEDLE TEA ANF THE FLU Pine needle tea as a cure for C19 symptoms and fighting long covid has hit the headlines over the last two years. What is the flu? Why does pine needle tea work? What is the role of shikimic acid and where else can we find it? INFLUENCE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSES & SOLAR STORMS Influenza comes from Italian, from the Medieval Latin word influentia meaning "influence." The term was shortened to flu in the first half of the 19th century. : It was used to describe epidemics because of the insight that influenza outbreaks were connected to solar flares - AKA, the influence of the stars. More on this here: INFLUENZA & THE SUN SPOT CONNECTION - 1990 https://www.notonthebeeb.co.uk/post/influenza-the-sun-spot-connection-1990 WHEN DID INFLUENZA BECOME ANNUAL? https://www.notonthebeeb.co.uk/post/when-did-influenza-become-annual FLU SYMPTOMS The cause of flu is up for debate with some arguing it's caused by a virus and others that its clearly caused by EMFs which leave a virus-like residue called exosomes., Irrelevant to the cause, the cures for the symptoms of 'flu' are known. PINE NEEDLES, SHIKIMIC ACID Pine needles and shikimic acid have been widely studied in relation to the flu and are of great interest in 2023 for their anti-clotting and detoxification benefits. Shikimic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in various plant species, including pine needles. It is also the key ingredient used in the production of the antiviral drug called oseltamivir, commonly known as Tamiflu. Many have been making or buying pine needle tea for its curative properties Here are some of the benefits. Respiratory Health In traditional medicine, pine needle extracts have been used to support respiratory health. They are believed to have expectorant properties, helping to alleviate congestion and clear the airways. AntiCoagulant Shikimic acid derivatives have shown promise in inhibiting specific enzymes involved in the clotting cascade, such as thrombin and factor Xa. These derivatives possess anticoagulant activity, which may contribute to their potential therapeutic application in preventing or treating clot-related disorders. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/305639160_Anti-platelet_and_anti-thrombogenic_effects_of_shikimic_acid_in_sedentary_population Antiviral Properties: Shikimic acid has demonstrated antiviral properties, particularly against influenza viruses. It works by inhibiting the replication of the virus, thereby reducing its ability to spread and cause illness. Immune System Support: Pine needles are rich in various nutrients, including vitamins A and C. These vitamins play essential roles in supporting a healthy immune system. A robust immune system is crucial in fighting off viral infections, including the flu. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Pine needles contain certain compounds with anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is a common response to viral infections, including the flu. By reducing inflammation, pine needle extracts may help alleviate symptoms such as fever, body aches, and sore throat. Relaxation and Stress Relief The aroma of pine needles is often associated with relaxation and stress relief. Inhalation of pine needle essential oils or spending time in pine forests may promote a sense of calmness, which can be beneficial during times of illness and recovery. Anticancer Potential: Shikimic acid has shown promising anticancer properties in several studies. It has been found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in various cancer types. A study published in the journal Fitoterapia in 2016 demonstrated the anti-proliferative effects of shikimic acid on human breast cancer cells (PMID: 27742424). Another study published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry in 2020 investigated the anticancer potential of shikimic acid derivatives against lung cancer (PMID: 31935040). Antioxidant Activity Shikimic acid exhibits potent antioxidant activity, which can help protect against oxidative stress and its associated damage. Oxidative stress plays a role in various diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and aging. A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in 2012 demonstrated the antioxidant activity of shikimic acid extracted from pine needles. (PMID: 23050937). Anti-inflammatory Effects Shikimic acid possesses anti-inflammatory properties, making it potentially beneficial in conditions characterized by chronic inflammation. Research has shown that it can inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators and reduce inflammatory markers. A study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences in 2020 investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of shikimic acid in a model of acute lung injury (PMID: 33238519). Neuroprotective Effects Shikimic acid has demonstrated neuroprotective properties, indicating its potential for the prevention or treatment of neurological disorders. It has been shown to protect against oxidative stress-induced neuronal damage and inhibit neuroinflammation. A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in 2018 explored the neuroprotective effects of shikimic acid in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease (PMID: 29701487). Anti-diabetic Activity Some studies have suggested that shikimic acid may have anti-diabetic effects. It has been found to regulate glucose metabolism, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce oxidative stress associated with diabetes. A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in 2015 investigated the anti-diabetic potential of shikimic acid in a rat model of type 2 diabetes (PMID: 25844952). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30227208/ Detoxification It serves as a precursor for the synthesis of various essential compounds, including glutathione, a potent antioxidant involved in detoxification reactions. Glutathione plays a crucial role in neutralizing and eliminating harmful toxins and free radicals from the body. By providing the necessary building blocks for glutathione synthesis, shikimic acid supports the body's detoxification pathways. Additionally, shikimic acid possesses its own antioxidant properties, which further contribute to its detoxifying potential. Through these mechanisms, shikimic acid may help protect cells and tissues from oxidative stress and promote overall well-being. The Process in detail Shikimic acid serves as a crucial precursor in the biosynthesis of glutathione, a tripeptide molecule composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. Glutathione is synthesized through a series of enzymatic reactions within the body. Shikimic acid provides the carbon skeleton required for the production of cysteine, one of the three amino acids involved in glutathione synthesis. Cysteine is derived from the precursor homocysteine, which is generated from methionine through a process called transsulfuration. Shikimic acid's carbon atoms are incorporated into the structure of cysteine, thereby supporting the availability of this essential amino acid for glutathione formation. Furthermore, shikimic acid indirectly influences glutathione synthesis by participating in the production of other molecules that are involved in the process. For example, shikimic acid contributes to the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids, such as phenylalanine and tyrosine, which are necessary for the production of precursors that eventually lead to the formation of glutathione. By providing the necessary carbon backbone and promoting the synthesis of essential amino acids, shikimic acid plays a role in facilitating the production of glutathione. Glutathione, in turn, acts as a critical antioxidant and detoxification agent, helping to neutralize harmful substances and protect cells from oxidative damage. Summary Researchers have found that shikimic acid helped to stop blood clots from forming. It protected people from respiratory infections. It displays anticancer, antiviral and antibiotic properties. It helps the body to detoxify from pollutants PINE POWER by North American Herb & Spice A concentrated source with each teaspoon equivalent to 23 cups of pine needle tea Raw Pine Power Plus is the power of wild harvested Northern American and Canadian white and red pine needles (both high in shikimic acid.) Long utilized as a natural medicine, it is high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is high in terpenes including alpha-pinene, D-limonene, Beta-Caryophyllene (BCP) germacrene, and many more. BCP is known to support brain cognition, nervous system function and the body’s healthy response to inflammation. Raw, wild pine and spruce provide support for healthy eyes, respiratory health, immune function and red blood cell production. Terpenes are highly cleansing to the body, especially BCP, which also supports the detoxification of the brain and nervous system. Shikimic acid has been shown as a potent agent for supporting immune and detoxification processes. Taoist priests drank the tea as a regular infusion, believing it aided longevity and increased stamina. This formula is said to aid a sense of well being and is a tonic akin to 23 cups of pine needle tea.

The Ukraine Recovery Conference has revealed the ulterior motives of the government. By Anthony Webber The Ukraine Recovery Conference on 22nd June was a revelation. Up until now the British public must have wondered what justified their government pouring billions of pounds of their money into a conflict in Ukraine? Why there? As opposed to anywhere else in the world, where there are many conflicts going on, and many more in need of help. After all, the UK was involved in Afghanistan, but the cost ( £1bn annually) was a fraction of the UK’s costs of involvement in Ukraine. Afghanistan was seen as a worthy cause, in that it was protecting human and women’s rights, the education of women, and some freedom and democracy. This cause of 20 years was embarrassingly dumped due to a “deal” with the Taliban, who had never won a major battle, and there was the great betrayal of veterans and the 26 million Afghan people. The Truth It seems that this betrayal was all so that resources could be switched to involvement in Ukraine. This decision seemed to be bizarre as no direct strategic or economic interests were at stake for the UK. The public were told it was to protect “our values” and “freedom and democracy” in Ukraine, but had we not just abandoned doing that in Afghanistan? It soon transpired that there was little of these “values” in Ukraine as their government shut down opposition political parties and media and banned the Russian Orthodox Church. It also became obvious that Azov Neo Nazis had too much political and military control, and that a policy of hatred towards anything Russian was very much fostered. So hardly a country whose government encourages values of love and understanding between those of different languages who live there. There is a petition on this issue which is worthy of signing: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/629895 The mystery of why the UK government became involved in Ukraine at last became clear with the launch of the Ukraine Recovery Fund. This means Blackrock and J P Morgan will be setting up bespoke funds in order to “help” Ukraine. It has been revealed that a number of global corporations are interested in investing in the “recovery” of Ukraine. What they want, is to make a financial killing on the backs of other people’s miseries. To help themselves! The scheme is based on a “partnership” of public and private backing. In reality, this means that the taxpayers take all the risks by underwriting losses which could happen in a conflict or a post conflict situation. Meanwhile, if there are any profits, then these private corporations will take them! This all dates back to ongoing discussions President Zelensky and his associates had with Black Rock hedge fund, a massive corporation which owns both Pfizer and AstraZeneca pharmaceutical companies, who they signed a “memorandum of understanding” with in November. This has led to comments such as “Ukraine is being privatised and sold off to companies like Blackrock, while being enslaved to the IMF ( International Monetary Fund), the US and EU through crippling debt.” ( Going Underground-Twitter comment). It is a fact that Ukraine is heavily in debt and is being propped up by the governments of the UK, USA, and EU. If this support ended, the conflict would end without delay. This petition is well worth signing: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/629895 Control of governments and media by global corporations In this world, large global corporations are able to control government decisions by controlling their key politicians and public servants. It had always been assumed in the past that bribery and corruption was not a problem in the UK. However, we have had instances of it, and it is more likely if there are no checks and balances to prevent it. In the UK, the government have not let go of the means of control of the media they took during the covid “pandemic.” This control has tightened to the extent that it is virtually impossible to obtain any form of debate on the government’s policies on Ukraine and Russia. Globalist corporations involved in the media are compliant in this control because it protects their interests. The control of the media makes it impossible for any government whistleblower to know who to turn to in order to safely provide information. More reasons to sign the petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/629895 The Opposition parties are supporting the government, so approaching them would be risky, and a whistleblower would be reticent about even approaching the police. The situation is a bit like when the mafia-controlled Sicily, the whole of the political/legal/police hierarchy had been taken over, and there had to be major effort for good to overcome evil. Some countries are having similar problems combating the control and influence of powerful drug cartels. The threat to governments by the forces of evil and greed cannot be ignored. In the UK we have now had three Prime Ministers pursuing the same policies on Ukraine and Russia, and it could be argued that their predecessors were preparing the ground for conflict in Ukraine before that. Why is no one asking the questions? Who is asking if the current Prime Minister is acting on behalf of the best interests of the British people or the best interests of certain globalist corporations? Currently no one. Not the Opposition, not MP’s not the Select ( Scrutiny) Committees, such as on Public Accounts, Foreign Affairs and Defence. This is exceptionally risky for the wellbeing and security of the nation. If Prime Ministers with Presidential powers ( as they do de facto have in the UK) as well as senior Ministers can make major decisions and then disappear from office, and then receive large sums of money ( or even before), then our whole system of democratic accountability has been lost and we must regain it. This is another reason to sign the petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/629895 What then are the real reasons for the UK government taking the side of the Zelensky government in this conflict? Ukraine is a country rich in natural resources and there is a contest for who will own them. The globalist corporations had backed the President Zelensky government and had intents on taking control of these resources. It just so happens that a huge proportion of these resources are in the lands now under Russian control, which are worth trillions of dollars, and this is why so much emphasis is being put into the so- called counter offensive. Those who control the Zelensky government ( and that is a mix of global corporations, corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs and the USA/Uk/EU governments) are determined to win these lands back, irrespective of the massive losses incurred and with no regard to the fact that the citizens of these lands have voted by referenda to become part of Russia. They are solely concerned with corporate profit. It is nothing to do with liberating these lands as the people do not want to be “liberated!” To give an idea of the natural resources of Ukraine, they are: Natural gas and petroleum Untapped lithium Iron ore, coal, manganese, salt, graphite, sulphur, kaolin, titanium, nickel, magnesium, mercury and timber Very fertile black soil, corn, wheat, barley, rapeseed oil, and more. The UK is one of the major governments giving massive military and other aid to the Zelensky government. Without “western” military aid Ukraine would have had to agree a peace deal a long time ago. However, this is more panic aid as the global corporations are terrified of losing their investments. They are not paying a penny for this military intervention on their behalf, but they are making sure the politicians invest their taxpayer’s money on their behalf! So next time Rishi Sunak says that the UK “will stand with Ukraine as long as it takes,” remember that this does not mean the Ukrainian people, as the globalist corporations could not care less about them, but we know it mean their ulterior motives. This government link shows how extensive this latest commitment to Ukraine is: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/global-businesses-pledge-to-back-ukraines-recovery-as-pm-sets-out-major-financial-package https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-boosts-ukraines-recovery-at-major-london-summit https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_3350 It is noticeable how much the UK’s Ukraine commitment is in line with that of the EU’s. There are other related concerns: https://updfund.com/ https://www.intellinews.com/blackrock-launches-ukraine-development-fund-together-with-the-ukrainian-government-278041/ “The Ukraine Development Fund” is a means of channelling money apart from full oversight and is a major money laundering threat. Such risks appear to be ignored. We have to stop this flow of our money into a corrupt system as the likelihood of all these billions being wasted is extremely high. More reasons to sign the very worthy petition which has been no platformed by the mainstream media: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/629895 The government links show the UK government underwriting £2billion of lending to Ukraine. Yet another £240m bilateral assistance A further £250 m investment in Ukraine All on top of supplying weaponry of £5bn and still increasing. All totalling about £15bn plus This expenditure is going on when the government is telling the public that there is not the money available for even basic services Also, when the whole country is affected economically in every single area And they have the gall to make us suffer so that globalist corporations can make fat profits! Without any democratic mandate! This is all to prop up a bankrupt regime! The ulterior motives are that the government expending billions of our money on their Ukraine warmongering is nothing to do with so called “freedom,” “ democracy” and “values.” It is about globalist vested interests, and those are not the interests of the UK and its people! This conflict is about, food, energy, raw materials and security. If we want to protect these then the UK should be neutral. If not, there will be a longer protracted battle for one side owning the natural resources of Ukraine, which the UK will lose out by taking sides. Ukraine is losing this conflict and never had a chance in the first place. The British public have been fed a pack of lies by this government, which is immoral and deceitful. Rishi Sunak promised a government which would be open and transparent and which would earn our trust. He and the government have done none of this and they must resign even if it means yet another Prime Minister before the next election.

Prof. Dolores Cahill on Magnetic Reactions in Vax Recipients Part 1 [VIDEO] In this 2021 article, Europe Reloaded summarises the Dolores Cahil and Not On The Beeb's Mark Playne vaccine-induced Magnetism discussion. ER Editor: We recommend watching this short 14-minute video interview (Part 1) for the visuals and graphics interviewer Mark Playne questions Prof. Dolores Cahill about. Using the list of ingredients for the mRNA BioNTech vaccine (Pfizer), Playne questions Cahill about how the magnetic reaction in some vaccine recipients could arise. Cahill angles her replies around what is listed in the vaccine ingredients. For the past year, she has called for independent lab analyses of the vaccines being pushed on us, offering to be part of this effort. From what we’ve read to date, this phenomenon seems to be happening with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine; the ‘blue tooth’ reaction seems to occur in relation to the AstraZeneca. Both are satisfied that this phenomenon is real, contrary to the debunking done by the MSM. Here’s a summary of the discussion: From a list of ingredients for the mRNA BNT 162b2 vaccine (see video), it’s not clear which one of them would cause this magnetic effect, so further analysis is needed. An UNLISTED ingredient leads to issues of misrepresentation under the law on behalf of the manufacturer. It could be considered fraudulent. Dr. Cahill has been calling for independent lab analysis of these vaccines for over a year. The list of ingredients mentions lipids. They’re supposed to protect the mRNA in the injections because, as compared to DNA, mRNA can be rapidly degraded. Polyethylene glycol is used, which is known to cause anaphylaxis (allergic reactions). But otherwise, these ingredients should not be magnetic. (see video diagram) There are 5 types of lipids: one of them is a charged ionisable lipid which is called CATIONIC LIPIDS (“cationic lipid coated magnetic nanoparticles associated with transferrin for gene delivery 2008”). These lipids are charged when they enter the cell and release their payload of mRNA. Could this charged lipid be holding enough magnetic pull to account for the magnetic phenomenon? Cahill: It isn’t likely, but it can be tested by taking the lipids to the lab and checking their magnetic criteria. It’s up to the regulator and/or independent labs to test for this. So manufacturers should be required to let independent labs test the vaccine components. But no, these lipids shouldn’t account for this magnetism. Playne: when magnets were placed on people’s arms, the magnets were jumping around to get the right polarity. From this it’s been determined that the stuff injected into the arm has a positive charge. So if it’s not lipids, what would we expect it to be? Would it be some form of iron or iron oxide? (see text on screen) Could Spions be used? Cahill: Nanoparticles inside lipids should be listed as components, so if it is iron oxide, for example, it should be listed. Is there any possibility that the naturally-occurring iron in the body is being deployed in some way? Cahill: If so, then the magnets should stick to other parts of body, such as the other, non-vaccinated arm. This isn’t happening. However, a picture was sent to her of an elderly person with a magnet sticking to her lungs, so this isn’t natural. If it’s possible that blood components are being used in some way, then it must still be related to the vaccine ingredients.

Our Telegram groups at Not On The Beeb have been infiltrated so many times, we see it as a joke. Back in the heat of the plandemic propaganda in 2021, each Monday two members (we presume) of the UK's 77th brigade, an offshoot of the main military intelligence unit M15 used to join our telegram group. They would team up, appearing to spontaneously message each other, dismissing our reports, in an attempt to create division and chaos. Their tactics became so transparent that after just a few weeks, we would have them outed and blocked within 20 minutes or so. The pattern would repeat weekly. The laughable part was the regularity. Each Monday they would appear mid-morning, presumably after that week's morning briefing. Their instant stand-out transparency and their comedic attempt at 'banter' caused us much mirth. For the hardened and wisened group admins, outing these infiltrators and their successors has become a bit of a turkey shoot. Each day we have to tackle scores of spammers. Our groups (we have many) are bombarded with invites to other groups such as Q, Trump, DUMBS or groups faked under the names key freedom fighters. These groups are diversionary and we believe run by the other side. We believe them to be diversionary psy-ops in the same vein as Flat-earth and Tartarian empire. Fake theories seeded amongst genuine consprisacy designed to dilute, divert and confuse. I can hear the shouts and chairs scuffling on the floor :) For anyone believing in the integrity of one of the above groups, I'll ask you why have they alone designed bots to spam our telegram groups? It is not humans that spam our groups. The bots are set to spam each time we b]post, often seconds later. The posts are either gumpf grooming 'truthers' to join their ranks or crypto scams. Why have all the trusted telegram groups from CHD to Monotti to British Nurses to Jam for Freedom not done the same? Why don't spam our groups? Groups like Q are designed to ensnare, misdirect, and confuse. Worse, they leave the participants feeling either disempowered or sitting at home doing nothing, falsely feeling safe in the belief that some white hat or yellow-haired superhero is about to fly in and save the world. Genius. Hat's off to those that thought up the white hats. Mind, the highest award for genius to be given to the 'other side', must surely still go to the banking institutions intent on getting rid of cash. Early in the pandemic, I saw a sign within a huge ASDA store explaining that due to hygiene concerns contactless was preferred over cash. To the bewilderment of the masked shoppers passing by, I slow-clapped in appreciation at this pinnacle of propaganda. A response only surpassed when I came across a sign on my local cash point which declaring, "Rest assured. The banknotes in this machine have been quarantined for 72 hours." Aye, the memories... Priceless. 2022 to 2023 with new problems Since Feb 22 we have experienced a new issue within our groups. It is more serious and one we have not as yet overcome. The NOTB channel and groups have been infiltrated by software that secretly deletes our members, leaving no trace within the channel's or group's history. This is a highly effective form of 'shadow banning' where we are not outright closed down, but lead to continue our work to an ever-decreasing group of followers, feeling disillusioned by the ineffectiveness of our efforts. It also targets the most active within our groups and leaves the inactive giving a sense of a silent uninterested mass. Again, genius. How do we know this for sure? Many of those deleted are personal friends or loyal NOTB members that made contact wondering what they had done wrong to get a ban. The dispelled members are of course disgruntled. Offended and silenced within telegram, only a few find alternative ways to contact us. I've even found comments in other groups where our deleted members have said "Don't trust NOTB. They kicked me out for just saying xxx or yyy." Again, genius. Sadly, Telegram has not responded to any of our messages or complaints, so we can only presume they are part of the problem. One thing is for sure, we are best presuming that ANY group we are in, is infiltrated. Never post private or sensitive information. What can we do? We must not give up. They attack our information as they see it as a threat, which means our work is effective. We must continue to post the truth non-stop. Even the hardest of trained agents will absorb what they read. Things seen, can not be unseen. Things read, can not be unread. Dots linked, can not be unlinked. These understandings will refuse to wither and will sprout new cognitive pathways. Famously, youtube's one-man 'fact checker' commentators had to be brought back to base for 'retraining' every 6 weeks or so. The truths of the so-called fake-news they had been employed to seek, had found a way into the operative's psyche. Two plus two equals four, Things that add up, have a symmetry and balance that feels right. Truth has a reality, that lies and propaganda can not own. The truth always wins, just as light always overcomes the dark. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. All we need to do, is tip the balance. All we need to do, is keep on keeping on.

FBI Contractor Created Fake Online IDs to Join Chatrooms Run by Groups Organizing Against Vaccine Mandates An FBI surveillance contractor infiltrated the chatrooms of two airline industry groups opposed to vaccine mandates to collect intelligence on the groups’ organizing activities, investigative journalist Lee Fang reported. By Brenda Baletti, Ph.D. An FBI surveillance contractor infiltrated the chatrooms of two airline industry groups opposed to vaccine mandates to collect intelligence on the groups’ organizing activities, investigative journalist Lee Fang reported. The contractor, Flashpoint, which in the past infiltrated Islamic terror groups, now focuses on “anti-vaccine” groups and other domestic political organizations, according to Fang. In a webinar presentation for clients last year, which Fang analyzed on his Substack, Flashpoint analyst Vlad Cuiujuclu demonstrated his company’s methods for identifying and entering encrypted Telegram chat groups. He explained how the company attempted to join chatrooms of transportation workers resisting the COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Fang described the presentation: “‘In this case, we’re searching for a closed channel of U.S. Freedom Flyers,’ said Cuiujuclu. ‘It’s basically a group that opposed vaccination and masks.’ “As he clicked through a database, Cuiujuclu showed a chat group on Telegram sponsored by Airline Professionals For Justice, another group formed by airline industry workers opposed to the mandate. The forum, he added, provided useful insights, including Zoom links for meetings of the grassroots organization. “‘Private chats,’ said Cuiujuclu, ‘require for you to have an invite link,’ which he noted can often either be found by scrolling through public forums or by ‘engag[ing] the admin of that channel.’” Flashpoint also offers clients artificial intelligence and internet scraping tools. According to Fang, the firm is a leader in the “threat intelligence industry,” a growing number of security and surveillance firms that create fake online identities to infiltrate Discord chats, WhatsApp groups, Reddit forums and dark web message boards to gather information for clients, including corporations and the FBI, to monitor potential threats. Joshua Yoder, president of US Freedom Flyers, said he is aware that Flashpoint infiltrated private chat groups associated with his organization. Yoder told The Defender: “Tradecraft and other strategies are often used to gain inside knowledge of conservative organizations with the intent to disrupt, mislead and otherwise thwart effective campaigns. “Infiltration is a tactic used by the deep state to prevent the truth from being told by attempting to destroy the advancement of the message. The team at US Freedom Flyers has been successful in recognizing these attacks and we have taken decisive actions to protect the organization and our members.” Aviation industry workers were some of the most vocal and organized against COVID-19 vaccine mandates. They wrote an open letter to the aviation industry signed by thousands of organizations, physicians and pilots. They also organized research on the risks of vaccines for pilots, spoke publicly about the “culture of fear and intimidation” around the mandates in the industry, and filed multiple lawsuits in Canada, the Netherlands, and the U.S. US Freedom Flyers brought a lawsuit against Atlas Air, one of the largest air cargo carriers in the aviation industry, in May 2022. Fang told The Defender the targeting of American citizens resisting the vaccine mandates fits into a long history of surveillance being used to subvert democracy. He said: “There is a long sordid history of informants and surveillance contractors working to undermine democratic engagement in this country. “The push against regular citizens opposed to COVID-19 vaccine mandates has come in many forms: censorship, demonization and in this case, surveillance.” The growing market for spying on domestic dissent Flashpoint advertises its surveillance success on its website, providing examples of its work undermining environmental activism, G20 protests and protests against the aviation industry. The webpages describing these activities were taken down after Fang published his investigation, but they can be found on the Wayback Machine internet archive. For example, Flashpoint described its capacity to monitor activists organizing against pollution and the aviation industry. The website said: “By monitoring the situation and assessing tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP’s), Flashpoint was able to assess the impact of upcoming protests, and determine that these groups would likely continue to protest and attempt to impede airport construction and expansion projects through direct action. “Based on this information, Flashpoint customers were able to take actions to help control the impact to business operations, and to ensure the safety of their employees and facilities as well as the safety of those protesting.” Flashpoint was founded by Evan Kohlmann, former NBC News contributor who investigated Islamic terror groups and whom The Intercept described as “the U.S. government’s go-to expert witness in terrorism prosecutions.” Jack Poulson of Tech Inquiry, a group that researches the surveillance industry, told Fang that “Flashpoint has been selling its chatroom infiltration services to companies and governments for years.” But, he said, it has shifted its focus from “surveilling Muslims after September 11” and “followed the money into both the Pentagon’s information warfare programs and the business of monitoring domestic protest groups.” Last year, Flashpoint acquired Echosec Systems, another intelligence contractor, and last month it formalized a partnership with Google Cloud. These acquisitions come in addition to “a steady stream of contracts to Flashpoint in recent years from the FBI, the Department of Defense, Treasury Department, and Department of Homeland Security, among other agencies,” Fang wrote. Fang also spoke to Jay Bhattacharya, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine at Stanford University, research associate at the National Bureau of Economics Research and one of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration. Bhattacharya said: “This kind of domestic spying violates the implicit protection Americans have in these kinds of settings. “This isn’t terrorism, this doesn’t have anything to do with national security. “This is a private set of employees, workers who are trying to maintain their jobs in the face of unscientific demands for COVID vaccinations.” Originally published by CHD: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fbi-fake-online-ids-chatrooms-vaccine-mandates/

25th January 1990 - Nature. Letters page F. HOYLE N.C. WICKRAMASINGHE University of Wales, School of Mathematics, Senghenydd Road, Cardiff CF2 4AG, UK SIR-Some years ago, Hope-Simpson (1) pointed out a remarkable coincidence between peaks in the sunspot curve , when solar activity is at a maximum, and the occurrence of influenza pandemics associated with antigenic shifts of the virus. He pointed to five coincidences over the period 1919-1968 as shown in the figure below. Using historical evidence on flu-like epidemics as summarized by Beveridge', we extended the comparison before 1919 as shown. The first column ignores the abnormally low sunspot maxima in the years 1816, 1883 and 1905, and the second column includes both "certain" and "possible" pandemics in the judgement of Beveridge'. Although the correspondences between the figure and our table are clearly not precise, they do add credence to the speculation that s Solar activity and influenza activity may have a causal link. The two phenomena, which have irregular periods (with an average period of 11 years), appear to have kept in step over some 17 cycles. Past experience has shown that false correlations of phenomena with the sunspot cycle may look good over a few cycles but go seriously adrift after an appreciable number of cycles. This does not happen for the postulated sunspot-flu connection. Following the broad sunspot peak in 1968-70, the next peak occurred in 1979-80 coinciding closely with the 'Red Flu' pandemic of 1978-79 (see figure). The sunspot relative numbers from May to October 1989 are given as follows: 159, 166, 172, 176, 176, 175. The indications are that a peak has been reached in August/September 1989, and that this peak is the second highest on record . The highest recorded sunspot peak which occurred in 1957 coincided with the Asian flu pandemic of 1957-58. It is tempting to connect the recent flu epidemic in Britain with a maximum or imminent maximum of solar activity. The rise of sunspot numbers towards this peak is possibly amongst the steepest on record. Although the new wave of flu and flu-like illness has not yet assumed pandemic proportions, the chances of this happening within a single complete cycle of terrestrial seasons must be reckoned to be high. In conclusion we note that electrical fields associated with intense solar winds can rapidly drive charged particles of the size of viruses down through the exposed upper atmosphere into the shelter of the lower atmosphere , the charging of such particles being due to the photoelectric effect. This could define one possible causal link between influenza pandemics and solar activity. F. HOYLE N.C.

An excerpt from The Invisible Rainbow In 1889, most historians agree, the modern electrical era opened. And in 1889, as if the heavens had suddenly opened as well, doctors in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia were overwhelmed by a flood of critically ill patients suffering from a strange disease that seemed to have come like a thunderbolt from nowhere, a disease that many of these doctors had never seen before. That disease was influenza, and that pandemic lasted four continuous years and killed at least one million people. Influenza is an Electrical Disease. Suddenly and inexplicably, influenza, whose descriptions had remained consistent for thousands of years, changed its character in 1889. Flu had last seized most of England in November 1847, over half a century earlier. The last flu epidemic in the United States had raged in the winter of 1874–1875. Since ancient times, influenza had been known as a capricious, unpredictable disease, a wild animal that came from nowhere, terrorized whole populations at once without warning and without a schedule, and disappeared as suddenly and mysteriously as it had arrived, not to be seen again for years or decades. It behaved unlike any other illness, was thought not to be contagious, and received its name because its comings and goings were said to be governed by the “influence” of the stars. But in 1889 influenza was tamed. From that year forward it would be present always, in every part of the world. It would vanish mysteriously as before, but it could be counted on to return, at more or less the same time, the following year. And it has never been absent since. Like “anxiety disorder,” influenza is so common and so seemingly familiar that a thorough review of its history is necessary to unmask this stranger and convey the enormity of the public health disaster that occurred one hundred and thirty years ago. It’s not that we don’t know enough about the influenza virus. We know more than enough. The microscopic virus associated with this disease has been so exhaustively studied that scientists know more about its tiny life cycle than about any other single microorganism. But this has been a reason to ignore many unusual facts about this disease, including the fact that it is not contagious. In 2001, Canadian astronomer Ken Tapping, together with two British Columbia physicians, were the latest scientists to confirm, yet again, that for at least the last three centuries influenza pandemics have been most likely to occur during peaks of solar magnetic activity—that is, at the height of each eleven-year sun cycle.

The depopulation agenda manifests in many forms This is an excellent article by Chris Mathews published by the Daily Mail and republished here for the public record. Twelve-year-olds are being taught about anal sex in school while nine-year-olds are told to 'masturbate' for homework: The shocking lesson plans used by teachers in UK classrooms EXCLUSIVE: Schools across Britain taught kids to masturbate and have anal sex Teachers have also 'indoctrinated' children with false claims about biological sex ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN'S LESSON PLANS? Email chris.matthews@mailonline.co.uk Schoolchildren are being taught about anal sex and orgasms before they have reached puberty and set 'masturbation' as homework, secretive lesson plans reveal. Many teachers are 'indoctrinating' children with scientifically false claims about biological sex, presenting gender as fluid and furthering a narrative that people can be born in the wrong body. It comes as the NHS is facing a mass legal action from 1,000 families who claim their children were rushed into taking life-changing puberty blockers' by the Tavistock Centre. MailOnline has found graphic teaching material — including a sex manual for pre-teens — being taught to children in classes around the UK. It follows a concerned mother being denied the right to see the content of the lessons being taught to her 15-year-old daughter in her Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) classes, which became compulsory three years ago. Despite a judge refusing Clare Page the right to see the material, MailOnline can reveal that a wealth of questionable teaching resources are already available online. Colouring books, word searches and cartoon drawings have also been given to young girls and boys by 'activist teachers' in their 'overarching mission to sexualise children in the name of inclusion'. Since September 2020, Relationships Education has been compulsory in primary schools and RSE mandatory in secondary schools. The change left many teaching staff seeking guidance. The void was filled by charities — some harbouring unconventional views on biological sex and sharing material on their websites that references underage sex. MailOnline can reveal that some children are: Taught that from birth until the age of one, babies can 'experience pleasurable sensations' by touching their genitals Given ways for 12-year-old girls to orgasm while masturbating, including pinching or stroking the clitoris Given 'masturbation' homework from a pre-compulsory RSE resource Told that girls as young as 12 can find sexual pleasure from anal, vaginal and oral sex Taught that it's normal to want to masturbate during and even before they hit puberty Informed that it's normal for prepubescent children to be sexually attracted to anyone Told that gender is different from sex but is a much more intrinsic part of who a person is Taught that people can change their sex from being a man to being a woman Also taught that some 'non-binary' humans are neither men nor women Taught that men with the male Y chromosome can actually be women ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN'S LESSON PLANS? Email chris.matthews@mailonline.co.uk Many teachers are 'indoctrinating' children with scientifically false claims about biological sex, presenting gender as fluid and furthering the 'trans' narrative that people can be born in the wrong body. Pictured: A lesson plan from a school in Dorset, for schoolchildren in Year 10, aged 14 to 15 An 'award-winning' teaching pack for children as young as nine who have learning disabilities created before RSE was made mandatory was similarly graphic. One of the lesson plans suggested teachers 'show the group pictures of male and female masturbation' and 'simulate anatomically correct dolls masturbating' A colouring book aimed at children as young as five invited users to colour in Zoë, who is 'non-binary', which according to the book means 'they are neither a boy or a girl'. Another lesson resource, a book called Great Relationships and Sex Education that is 'extremely popular with RSE educators', points children aged 11 to 13 to a 'hands on guide' to masturbation that suggests it can be 'highly pleasurable' to touch your anus, genitals and nipples The Sex Education Forum (SEF), Coram Life Education and Brook are some of the leading charities that create lesson plans for schools, hold PSHE workshops and point teachers towards related educational material. Coram Life Education supports 50,000 teachers. Their PSHE education reaches more than 600,000 pupils each year. Meanwhile, SEF states on its own website that it 'has a long history of successfully influencing policy'. Some teachers and educators believe RSE and Relationships Education are necessary subjects for children to learn. Danielle Baron was a teacher and assistant head for 10 years and has run her own education and coaching company for eight years. She said: 'It is of utmost importance to educate children about navigating relationships, as they are particularly vulnerable, and education and knowledge empowers them to recognise warning signs. 'By providing children with this education and support, we can help them navigate relationships safely and empower them to protect themselves against potential abuse.' A trainee teacher at a multi-academy trust in southeast London who teaches RSE three times a week in 20 minute session said it was 'vital' for it to be compulsory for children to learn about sex and relationships. He said: 'Schools have a role outside of family and religious groups to teach it, informed by science. The kids need to know it. 'Teaching about gender is important. 'Many schools think [RSE is] secondary. Teachers want resources given to them. The issue is that the resources are not good enough. 'Maybe we need a firm curriculum. If it's left up to private groups then potentially different schools give different RSE.' Yet others disagree. Ray Freeman is the director of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists. He told MailOnline: 'We need to let children be children. What I fear is more of a political movement, where we have classes of girls saying they are a different sex. 'Sex is biological. Gender is socially constructed. The aggressive movement is mixing the two. 'It's dangerous. Has the world gone mad? 'I think it is psychologically damaging and it can be physically damaging for a young person to be told they are or can be the opposite sex. 'We have a duty to protect our children. How can we if you don't know what they are being taught?' The Family Education Trust's Lucy Marsh told MailOnline 'activist teachers' were on a path to rip children from their families. She said: 'It's an overarching mission to sexualise children in the name of inclusion. 'If you normalise underage sex to children, it's grooming and exposing them to sexual abuse. 'It's a mission to sexualise children and people don't understand there's a huge safeguarding risk in that. It is child indoctrination. 'When you think of cults, the first thing they do is separate people from families. 'They are trying to put a distance between children and their families.' Mrs Marsh has had personal experience of her child being taught shocking sexual material. She said: 'My daughter came home and asked if she was asexual. I said, ''Well I hope you are, because you're 11!'' 'Children come home and become very upset about it. 'We need a full public inquiry into the Department of Education. A lot of these providers are sanctioning underage sex. 'We would like [the government] to press pause on RSE lessons until this investigation is over. Vagina Matters is the top free teaching resource on sexual health charity Brook's website. The book (pictured) aimed at 12 to 14-year-olds girls covers sex, masturbation and orgasms It includes cartoons of a woman's naked breasts, buttocks and vagina (pictured) The guide, for 12 to 14-year-old girls, says: 'You can be sexually attracted to anyone.' It also listed ways to find 'sexual pleasure' that included 'anal sex' and 'oral sex' The guide also normalises sex 'before your first menstruation'. Most girls start to menstruate between the ages of eight and 13. Sex before the age of 13 is legally considered as rape Under an 'advice' heading it added: 'You can use your fingers to play with your clitoris - stroke it, massage it, rub it, pinch or squeeze it lightly' 'We don't think that gender identities need to be taught in school because it's not based on fact or science. 'In primary schools they don't need to be taught the ins and outs of sexual pleasure.' Meanwhile, political activist Laurence Fox told MailOnline: 'Disgusting ideologues are trying to put children down an irreversible path of manipulation. 'The fact they want to hide what they are doing is disgusting. It should alarm every parent. 'This is entirely anti-scientific dribble. It's total warfare on the family in the name of inclusion and kindness.' Although the government's guidance on delivering RSE and Relationships Education does not mention masturbation, it hasn't stopped schools across the country from giving the green light to unorthodox teaching material. Here, MailOnline can reveal the wealth of lesson plans and teaching material being taught in schools across the country: Masturbation, wet dreams and sexual feelings Coram claimed: 'We believe masturbation would come under the statutory requirements to teach.' It said it first taught about masturbation in the summer term of Year 4, 'when most children are already nine years old'. A lesson plan adopted from SEF by Merrywood House Independent Special School, in Surrey, intended to teach boys and girls as young as nine about 'masturbation', 'wet dreams' and 'sexual feelings'. An 'award-winning' teaching pack for children as young as nine who have learning disabilities created before RSE was made mandatory was similarly graphic. One of the lesson plans suggested teachers 'show the group pictures of male and female masturbation' and 'simulate anatomically correct dolls masturbating'. For homework, the lesson plan suggested the children should practice 'shutting the door and being private if [the] person wants to masturbate'. Calverley Primary School in West Yorkshire lists 'wet dream' and 'masturbation' in its agreed vocabulary for nine and 10-year-olds' RSE classes A lesson plan adopted from SEF by Merrywood House Independent Special School, in Surrey, intended to teach boys and girls as young as nine about 'masturbation', 'wet dreams' and 'sexual feelings' Rotherham School Improvement Service also lists 'masturbation' in its 'key vocabulary' for children in Year 6 Similarly, Westfield Primary School, in Surrey, includes 'clitoris', 'masturbation' and 'wet dream' in its Year 6 Sex Education vocabulary list Another lesson resource, a book called Great Relationships and Sex Education that is 'extremely popular with RSE educators', points kids aged 11 to 13 to a 'hands on guide' to masturbation that suggests it can be 'highly pleasurable' to touch your anus, genitals and nipples. The Vagina Matters book, which is the top free teaching resource on Brook's website, advised 12 to 14-year-old girls to 'get to know your body and what you like' by masturbating. It described a woman climaxing, making sounds of pleasure, her muscles tightening and said fluid may squirt from the urethra during female ejaculation. It added that trying out masturbation would 'help you experience sexual pleasure more when you're with a partner or alone'. The teaching resource said: 'Listen to your own body and find out how you like to be stimulated.' Under an 'advice' heading it added: 'You can use your fingers to play with your clitoris - stroke it, massage it, rub it, pinch or squeeze it lightly. 'You can also do the same with your nipples, breasts, inner thighs, ears, neck or other parts of your body that evoke pleasant sensations.' Gender and sex In a different lesson plan from a school in Dorset, schoolchildren in Year 10, aged 14 to 15, were to be told: 'Many transgender children notice a difference between their body and their gender from a young age.' It also defined gender as 'the state of being male or female socially or culturally,' while sex was said to be 'the state of being male or female biologically'. Another school's lesson plan said nine and 10-year-olds needed to learn that gender identity could differ from biological sex and that diversity and inclusion was important in promoting career opportunities. Similarly, an in-house resource created by a London secondary school and taught to children in Year 9 (aged 13 to 14) said a person's gender was not the same as sex and was 'a much more intrinsic part of you'. An in-house resource created by a London secondary school and taught to children in Year 9 (aged 13 to 14) said a person's gender was not the same as sex and was 'a much more intrinsic part of you' A lesson plan created by sexual health charity Brook said one learning objective from a class on gender and stereotypes was to be able to 'identify a range of gender identities, sexual orientations and recognise that how we identify is on a spectrum' This school's lesson plan said nine and 10-year-olds needed to learn that gender identity could differ from biological sex and that diversity and inclusion was important in promoting career opportunities In a TES lesson plan for PSHE, scientifically false claims are made about biological sex and the Y chromosome. The presence of a Y chromosome in a human means that person is a man. Even if they have more X chromosomes than usual, such as being XXY or XXXY, they are still men. However, the TES lesson plan makes the false claim that being XXY (also called Klinefelter's Syndrome) means you can be male or female, or neither. This is false. As the NHS points out, only men can be XXY. A lesson plan created by sexual health charity Brook said one learning objective from a class on gender and stereotypes was to be able to 'identify a range of gender identities, sexual orientations and recognise that how we identify is on a spectrum'. Graphic and vulgar cartoons Teaching material made by Norfolk County Council's Educator Solutions and shared by Mulbarton Primary School, which is near Norwich, includes cartoons of naked toddlers to show to five and six-year-olds. It suggests pupils should point out the penis and vulva but warns teachers not to tell off children for using slang words for genitalia. The RSE resource said: 'If pupils correctly identify that their genitalia are different but use incorrect terminology, do not say that this word is ''wrong'' or ''naughty'', congratulate them for noticing the difference and say we are going to learn the scientific word.' Teaching material made by Norfolk County Council's Educator Solutions and shared by Mulbarton Primary School, which is near Norwich, includes cartoons of naked toddlers to show to five and six-year-olds. Pictured: A naked male toddler, originally not blurred It suggests pupils should point out the penis and vulva but warns teachers not to tell off children for using slang words for genitalia. Pictured: A naked female toddler, originally not blurred Vagina Matters also showed explicit cartoons of a woman's naked breasts, buttocks and vagina. The guide for girls as young as 12 also pointed out where the clitoris was using a graphic diagram. Sex with prepubescent children Vagina Matters is the top free teaching resource on Brook's website. It is a tool aimed at 12 to 14-year-old girls that covers about sex, masturbation and orgasms. It also normalises sex 'before your first menstruation'. Most girls start to menstruate between the ages of eight and 13. Sex before the age of 13 is legally considered as rape. The guide even advises pre-teens different ways of stimulation, from massaging their clitoris with a finger to being penetrated by a penis, licked with a tongue and using sex toys on themselves. The schoolgirls' guide to a vagina also said: 'During puberty, and even before that, it's normal to have the desire to masturbate and to imagine how you would want to be touched by someone else.' The guide, which targets 12 to 14-year-old girls, added: 'You can be sexually attracted to anyone.' In the next paragraph, it listed ways to find 'sexual pleasure'. It said: 'These could include masturbation, fingering, penetration of the vagina with a penis or sex toy, penetration of the anus with a penis or sex toy, [and] using the mouth and tongue to stimulate your partner's genital area.' Sexualised children's games Vagina Matters incorporated a sexually transmitted diseases word search into the sex manual for the young girls. Another guide, this time aimed at primary school children, introduced children as young as five years old to 'trans terminology and the LGB community' with an 'LGBT Colouring And Activity Book'. The colouring book was created by the LGBT Foundation, which defines a woman as 'someone who identifies as a woman' and claims not all people who can menstruate and become pregnant are women. In the colouring book, primary school children were invited to colour in a smiling cartoon figure called John. It said although when John was born 'people thought he was a girl,' he is actually 'a man who is trans'. In scientific terms that translates to John being a woman who thinks her gender is male. The children were also invited to colour in Zoë, a 'non-binary' person, which according to the book means 'they are neither a boy or a girl'. The colouring book also features a word search for children aged five to 11 where they can find different sexualities. This colouring book was created by the LGBT Foundation, which defines a woman as 'someone who identifies as a woman' and claims not all people who can menstruate and become pregnant are women In the colouring book, primary school children were invited to colour in a smiling trans cartoon figure called John The book has 14 pages for children to colour in as they learn about 'trans terminology and the LGB community' The colouring book teaching kids about 'trans terminology and the LGB community' features a word search for children aged five to 11 where they can find different sexualities Vagina Matters also incorporated a sexually transmitted diseases word search into its sex manual for girls as young as 12 Sex Education Forum said it 'provides a range of resources for educators that are informed by the latest evidence on the delivery of effective and age appropriate relationships and sex education lessons.' It added: 'This resource is not a lesson plan, it is a page from a tool the Sex Education Forum created to support educators in designing developmentally appropriate RSE curriculum. 'The tool is made up of questions that children typically ask and informed by issues educators tell us are raised by pupils. It covers questions about life-cycles, my body, feelings and emotions, keeping safe and relationships. 'We recommend that teachers use the tool alongside knowledge of their own pupils and their needs, as well as recommending they share the tool in their parent communications about RSE, in line with good practice.' A Norfolk County Council spokesperson said: 'The characters [cartoon of naked toddlers] are featured within a lesson plan for primary aged school pupils. Schools may choose to use this as part of a broader developmental curriculum. 'The lesson aims to help children learn scientific terms for the private parts of their body and normalise the appropriate use of these as part of good safeguarding practice. 'When this subject knowledge is taught and how is ultimately a decision for the school, which has responsibility of developing a policy and curriculum in consultation with parents that is compliant with statutory guidance.' Merrywood House Independent Special School said: 'Merrywood follows the national curriculum in all areas according to key stages and in line with the RSE statutory guidance. Merrywood is a specialist school supporting pupils with complex needs and is regulated by Oftsed and the Department of Education.' LGBT Foundation said: 'Our LGBTQ+ Activity Book promotes understanding and acceptance of diverse identities and family structures. 'Education is key in the fight for equality. This book supports those teachings, providing fun activities and positive messages that encourage well-being, self-acceptance, and a celebration of diversity among LGBTQ+ individuals and families.' Rotherham School Improvement Service said it 'provides a list of words which children of different ages may use when asking questions to teachers or other adults during RSE and health education lessons.' It added: 'This is in line with DfE advice and relates to a range of subjects, including sex and sexuality. Each school will determine its own approach to RSE and may or may not adopt or utilise this curriculum model.' Westfield Primary School, in Surrey, declined to comment. Brook, Calverley Primary School, Coram Life Education, Hillcrest Primary School, TES and Vagina Matters have not responded to MailOnline's requests for comment.

In this key article from the 10th of June, the telegraph exposes thee basics of the BBC censorship protecting the government narrative. This is an important step, but it is far from the full picture. ‘The BBC has a reputation as a truth-teller – but in Covid it did what the Government wanted’ Current and former staff members say debate around lockdown at the corporation was often stifled Telegraph Newspaper Uk - By Gordon Rayner, ASSOCIATE EDITOR 10 June 2023 • 10:00am The BBC is so proud of the fact that it once employed George Orwell that a statue of him stands outside its Broadcasting House headquarters to inspire its staff on their way into work. Carved on the wall behind him is his observation that: “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” Some of those staff have come to ponder what the author of Nineteen Eighty-Four would have made of the BBC’s reporting of the Covid pandemic, and its participation in the Counter-Disinformation Policy Forum, a body set up by the Government to kill off what it deemed to be fake news. Its very name could have fallen from the pages of Orwell’s greatest novel, and the irony is not lost on BBC journalists who were effectively accused of thoughtcrime if they dared to suggest open debates on the Government’s lockdown strategy. There is growing evidence that during the pandemic the BBC morphed from a national broadcaster founded on impartiality into a state broadcaster that stifled voices challenging the authoritarian response to Covid. The Telegraph has spoken to current and former BBC journalists who described a “climate of fear” existing in the corporation during the pandemic, with experienced reporters “openly mocked” if they questioned the wisdom of lockdowns, or called “dissenters”. Some complained to senior managers about the BBC’s blinkered stance, but were ignored. Others communicated via secretive WhatsApp groups to share their frustrations, like members of a resistance movement. Current and former BBC journalists described a 'climate of fear' existing in the corporation during the pandemic CREDIT: Getty While other news organisations made their own assessments of conflicting scientific evidence on coronavirus and the best ways to weigh them up, the BBC was alone among news gatherers in attending the Counter-Disinformation Policy Forum, which was chaired by ministers or civil servants. The BBC has claimed it only attended the meetings as an “observer”, and has played down its significance, but it inevitably leaves the corporation open to accusations that it was taking dictation from the Government, rather than allowing its journalists to scrutinise all of the evidence independently and impartially. “There was open censorship,” says one journalist. “There was no debate about who should and who should not be given airtime, that was very clear. People were saying to me ‘it’s dangerous to ask questions’, which is extraordinary. If you suggested to editors that anything other than the one-way narrative about Covid was even possible, you would be met with a look of abject horror." “We are now talking about the long-term harms caused by lockdowns and they have contributed to that damage by not being critical and not having a debate.” The person sent by the BBC to attend meetings of the Counter-Disinformation Policy Forum was Jessica Cecil, founder of the Trusted News Initiative, which was set up under the then director-general Tony Hall in 2019 – before Covid – to smoke out fake news and warn media partners of untruths circling the globe. Instead of allowing the TNI to do its job by spotting rogue reports, however, the BBC sent Cecil along to the Forum’s Zoom meetings, which began in December 2020. Jessica Cecil was sent by the BBC to attend the Counter-Disinformation Policy Forum They were chaired on some occasions by Dame Caroline Dinenage, the then minister of state for digital and culture, and otherwise by Sarah Connolly, director of security and online harms at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Attendees included other officials from the DCMS; an official from the Department of Health and Social Care; representatives of social media firms; academics from six universities and someone from the broadcast regulator Ofcom. It was initially set up to prevent untruths about the Covid vaccines being disseminated online, but at a meeting in January 2021 the group discussed “whether the scope of harms should be confined just to Covid-19/the vaccine”, suggesting it was possible the clampdown on so-called disinformation would go beyond Covid. Its very existence – along with that of the separate Counter-Disinformation Unit within the Government, exposed by The Telegraph last week – was kept under the radar at the time, and it is not difficult to guess why. Robin Aitken, a former BBC journalist and author of the book The Noble Liar: How and Why the BBC Distorts the News to Promote a Liberal Agenda, said it was “alarming” to discover that the BBC took part in the Forum, which he suggested was “a conspiracy against public debate”. He said: “Who knew about it? There is no transparency. The BBC has a worldwide reputation as a truth-teller but something like this unit gives the lie to that, because it shows that when it chooses to, it toes the line and does the job the Government wants it to do. “This whole idea of disinformation is a method of enforcing an orthodoxy on the public debate.” Former BBC journalist and author Robin Aitken said it was 'alarming' to discover that the BBC took part in the Forum CREDIT: Claire Lim The BBC is desperate to play down the significance of the meetings, saying Ms Cecil attended them in an “observer only capacity”, though it failed to explain what that meant. Ms Cecil herself, who has left the BBC and set herself up as a consultant global disinformation specialist, said it was a “BBC matter” and referred The Telegraph to the BBC press office. According to one source who attended the meetings, they quickly became “a round-robin of public affairs people from internet companies telling the minister what a great job they were doing”. Dinenage scrapped the Forum after six months. Nevertheless, the BBC’s decision to attend the Forum was consistent with its decision to back the Establishment line on pandemic response, enforced with grim reports from Covid wards to which it was given extensive access. Regardless of whether it came as a direct result of the secretive Forum (which refuses to publish unredacted minutes of its meetings), there is no doubt that many who questioned the efficacy of lockdowns, masks or school closures was given short shrift. “It was the matter of the greatest importance in our lifetime but there was no debate about it,” said one ex-BBC journalist. “We have to put our integrity and impartiality first and foremost and that did not happen. “People were suggesting eminently qualified experts as alternative voices, but in my experience not one of them was put on air.” The journalist was one of three people who gave evidence in private to Parliament’s all-party group on pandemic response and recovery last November. Their evidence was never made public, but they have agreed to share their experiences with The Telegraph. All of them are too fearful of the repercussions of speaking out to be identified by name. A second witness told the APPG at the time: “Downing Street pursued its lockdown strategy with a reckless disregard for the mental health of the public, lacing its messaging with fear and guilt to ensure broad compliance. “This approach should have sounded alarm bells for every freedom-loving journalist in the BBC; instead, many of my colleagues were cowed. The apocalyptic atmosphere in the newsroom was fuelled by new in-house health and safety rules designed to ‘stop the spread’, many of which were absurd and the sort of box-ticking theatre the BBC is more than adept at.” The source raised their concerns with senior managers including programme editors, but was “openly mocked” by them. BBC reporters were told not to use the word “lockdown” in a memo from a senior editor on the day the first lockdown was announced, but instead to talk about curbs and restrictions, in line with Downing Street policy. The third journalist who spoke to the APPG talked of a “climate of fear” in the BBC of stepping out of line, and shared an email with the committee they had sent to a senior editor pointing out that eminent scientists who had been regarded as trusted sources in the past had been silenced because they challenged the Government line. The Telegraph has seen the email, and the response from the manager, but is not reproducing it because it would risk identifying the source. The journalist told The Telegraph: “The response I got was patronising and humiliating. The gist of it was ‘get back in your box, you can’t have an opinion’.” The same source was astonished at his editor’s reluctance to allow him to report on anti-lockdown marches happening in London, some of which attracted tens of thousands of protesters. They said: “In editorial meetings if you raised the fact that there were lockdown marches going on, you were told, ‘no, that’s not on the agenda’.” Anti-lockdown protesters at Parliament Square in July 2021 CREDIT: Shutterstock Anna Brees, a former BBC news presenter who left the corporation before Covid, was contacted by a like-minded BBC senior editor when Brees tweeted about her lockdown scepticism. An email from the editor, sent in May 2021, said: “I need to know who shares our concerns. It’s impossible to be up front in top level meetings without knowing who’s in with us, and it’s not like you can just come out and ask – try that and people look at you like you have two heads. “So it would be helpful if you let me know if you have the ear of anyone in News … get people to email me or just let me know who they are if I have any allies in the room. I don’t name names.” The editor promised that: “I’ve got a seat at the top table and can organise the pushback.” Brees, author of the book Shame: When Journalists Stopped Listening, says that the attempt to organise the pushback failed because BBC journalists were so worried that it might be a trap to identify dissenters that they were too frightened to contact the editor. The pandemic, and lockdowns, proved to be a ratings hit for the BBC. In 2020 the average audience for the News at Six between mid-March and June leapt from 4.1 million in 2019 to 6.3 million in 2020. This year the figure was down to 3.4 million. As a Left-leaning organisation, it follows that the BBC would be in favour of state intervention, and as a publicly-funded body it may also have been over-eager to show the Government it was doing something to counter fake news. Yet the BBC is not usually slow to pick fights with the Government. Its journalists believe another factor, which mimics the newspeak vocabulary of Nineteen Eighty-Four, is at play: groupthink. “I wasn’t party to any conspiracy but I do believe there was a combination of groupthink with noble cause censorship,” says a current BBC journalist. “The BBC is populated by people who come from a certain background and share certain views. There was a sense that lockdowns were an annoyance, but that they were necessary. About 80 per cent of BBC staff were working from home so they were also initially saving money. “If there had been more people from working class backgrounds, or people who were cooped up in seventh-floor flats with children, there would have been a degree of scepticism about whether lockdowns were worth the cost.” Among the scientists who became unwelcome at the BBC, despite having been accepted as eminent experts in their field before the pandemic hit, was Carl Heneghan, professor of evidence-based medicine at Oxford University. In the early days of the pandemic he was a familiar voice on BBC radio and television, discussing how he thought the pandemic would evolve and what could be done to counter it, but when he began to question government policy he was dismissed by BBC editors as “an outlier”, according to one whistleblower. Prof Carl Heneghan: ‘For the whole of 2021 I was virtually ghosted by the BBC’ CREDIT: Talk TV Prof Heneghan says: “For the whole of 2021 I was virtually ghosted by the BBC. I was sometimes booked to go on programmes but then it would be cancelled or I would be told I wasn’t needed. “I was told by some of the people at the BBC that it was supporting lockdowns and editorially it was not deviating from that line. “It got to the point where the BBC was at times just the broadcast arm of the Government, for example the way they reported death figures without giving any context to them.” Meanwhile others with no medical qualifications were being put on the approved list simply because they were on-message. The APPG examined the case of Devi Sridhar, professor of public health at the University of Edinburgh. In June 2021, when the Pfizer vaccine was approved for use in children aged 12 to 15, Prof Sridhar told the children’s current affairs programme Newsround that the Pfizer vaccine was 100 per cent safe for children. The APPG heard that journalists – aware that no medical expert would ever claim that a vaccine is 100 per cent safe – raised the alarm with managers, pointing out that Sridhar is not a virologist, immunologist or expert on vaccination. Esther McVey MP, co-chairman of the APPG and a former TV presenter, says: “I started at the BBC and the whole thing is to get all sides of the argument and get new insights into the situation and be open-minded, not have the story written for you and fit the facts into that. Given the number of hours of coverage that Covid got, the lack of curiosity was outstanding.” The BBC denies that it did not include “a range of voices and views” in its Covid coverage. The broadcasting regulator Ofcom might have been expected to hold the BBC to account by reminding it of its duty of impartiality, but instead BBC journalists believe Ofcom was part of the problem, if not the cause of the BBC’s blinkered approach to Covid. On March 23 2020, the day Boris Johnson announced the first national lockdown, Ofcom issued guidance on “broadcast standards during the coronavirus pandemic” which had a profound and immediate effect on editors, according to multiple sources. It warned of the “significant potential harm” that could be caused by material that was broadcast, including “accuracy or material misleadingness in programmes in relation to the virus or public policy regarding it”. It said any breach arising from “harmful coronavirus-related programming” would be considered “potentially serious” and could result in a statutory sanction. Boris Johnson addressing the nation as he placed the UK on lockdown CREDIT: PA According to the third witness who gave evidence to the APPG, “many previously questioning journalists became scared to present any thought, idea or opinion other than the official government line”. Ofcom, let’s not forget, also sat on the Counter-Disinformation Policy Forum along with the BBC. Graham Stringer MP, co-chairman, with McVey, of the APPG on pandemic response and recovery, said: “Ofcom seems to have fallen short of its remit and we have seen how its coronavirus guidelines acted as a barrier to critical analysis of the Government’s approach to Covid-19 … “Lockdowns, mask mandates and other restrictions were a leap into the unknown. It is shocking that we didn’t have a robust debate about them on national broadcast channels.” A BBC spokeman said: “We totally reject this characterisation of our Covid coverage; we featured a range of voices during the pandemic, including those sceptical of lockdowns, in line with our duty of due impartiality. “We do not recognise this description of our working environment. Like other news organisations the stories we cover are the subject of robust editorial discussion and debate. The BBC attended the Counter Disinformation Policy Forum in an observer-only capacity. The person who attended was not a BBC News executive and played absolutely no role in editorial decision making.” An Ofcom spokesman added: “Our rules do not prohibit the broadcast of content that challenges public health policy and advice concerning Covid-19. Our guidance reminded broadcasters to be mindful of the potential harm that could be caused by misleading claims about the virus. We’ve also been consistently clear that, given the unprecedented restrictions on public freedoms imposed during the pandemic, the right to freedom of expression, including questioning and challenging government advice and policy, was made all the more vital.” As we now know, the first Spring lockdown is estimated to have saved 1,700 lives, according to a landmark study published earlier this week, set against an as-yet unknown number of people who have died of cancer, heart attacks and other illnesses because care was interrupted or unavailable. Not to mention blighted educations, a rise in childhood mental health problems and the enormous cost to the economy. Aitken said: “The Government was panicked into a lockdown and the BBC instantly shut down the debate about whether lockdown was the right approach. There were rational, very well-qualified people who felt lockdown was wrong, and they weren’t given airtime. That is a betrayal of the BBC’s primary purpose, as the gatekeeper of the national debate.” SOURCE: TELEGRAPH https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/06/10/bbc-state-broadcaster/ Download full article as a PDF
