World Health Organization: Setting the Standard for a Wireless World of Harm

Olga Sheean, a former international civil servant, brain-tumour survivor and electro-sensitive individual issued a call for action and accountability to the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding their International EMF Project. On January 30, 2017, Ms. Sheean sent her document to Dr. Margaret Chan (Director-General of the WHO), other WHO regional offices, government agencies, Members of Parliament, investigative journalists, advocacy groups and scientists worldwide.

Ms. Sheean’s frustrations with the WHO are expressed succinctly when she writes,

The World Health Organization should be the ultimate authority on health-related matters. Nations and institutions look to you for guidance…but you have failed to live up to your mandate. You claim to be promoting health yet, with regard to EMFs, you are promoting harm.

She goes on to describe the four key ways the WHO is failing its global citizens regarding electromagnetic radiation and electromagnetic fields.

1. Industry Infiltration – The EMF Project has become a front for industry interests. For example, the head of the International EMF Project, Emilie van Deventer, is an electrical engineer. She has no medical or health-related qualifications and has instead worked to improve cell phone performance.
2. Intentional Ignorance – The WHO has distorted, dismissed or dodged facts, science and studies linking EMR and negative health-effects. They have even gone as far as claiming electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) could be a psychiatric issue.
3. Denial of Science – Despite the studies, scientists, experts and millions of people suffering from ESH, the WHO continues to deny that there is any EMR-related harm.
4. Disregard for Humanity – One of the biggest threats to humanity is allowing technology to become more important than people. Currently, the wireless telecoms industry is dehumanizing us, putting profits before people, the planet and prosperity.

She ends the report with a demand to the World Health Organization:

It’s time to come down from your ivory tower and inhabit the real world.
Microwave sickness/electro-sensitivity is happening all around you.
It is undeniable. It is real. It is rapidly spreading.
Your inaction is costing lives and it is unacceptable.
You are accountable to us for protecting our health.
Respect the science.
Accept the facts.
Do your job.
MAKE IT HAPPEN
