Dear
Deputy Minister Stephen Brown,
We
would like an investigation as
to:
- - Why the Ministry
of Health, Adrian Dix and
the Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry has put our
correspondence on a
FYI list of “frequent
writers”
giving
them option NOT to respond to any of our emails? See FOI attached
- - Why they listed
one of the subject matters as
Monsanto?
- - Why our
Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie
Henry, has refused
to provide us
with an official response to the
2018, current findings
of the US National Toxicology Program and the supporting
Ramazzini Institute
Study who concluded there is “Clear
Evidence of Carcinogenic Activity” and the association of cancer in the heart and
brain and cell phone
radiation?
- - Why
they have ignored more
than 27,000 studies that confirm that exposure to RF/EMF is
associated with
many health effects, including cancers and other serious
debilitating effects,
like autism, Alzheimer’s, hormone problems, DNA damage,
fertility, etc.?
- - Why Dr. Bonnie
Henry relies on Dr. Kosatsky
who appears to have no educational background in the biological
effects from RF
radiation to advise her on the safety of Wi-Fi in our schools.
Dr. Kosatsky
stated, “ while I am not a cancer epidemiologist, nor a
specialist in the
health effects of non-ionizing radiation”?
- - Why they rely on
the advise of the BC Cancer
Agency when this agency clearly have a vested
interest in supporting the
wireless industry in return for millions of dollars in
donations?
- - Why we
have not been provided us with a copy of these studies and the
recent publications
that they recently "reviewed" along with the names of the
scientists
and medical experts?
- - Why they keep
quoting Safety Code 6 when we
all know there are no regulations put in place for non-ionizing
radiation?
- - Why Dr. Bonnie
Henry states that “. . .
and we continue to recommend people make personal choices to
reduce their
exposure.” How can parents make a Personal Choice
to protect their
children when microwave radiation exposure is mandatory in
all our public
schools?
- - Why a known
2b carcinogen listed next to
lead, DDT, methyl mercury, chloroform, and car exhaust is an acceptable
risk
in our schools?
- - We
want to know is Cancer an acceptable risk too?
Our Provincial
Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie
Henry, and the Ministry of Health, Adrian Dix, has failed to do
their due diligence and take immediate action to mitigate
the risk by informing the School Boards throughout the province
of the
established health risks associated with long-term exposure to
microwave
radiation by recommending the use of hard-wired connections to
access the
Internet in our schools. For as little as a one time cost of
$500 US dollars
every classroom would be provided with 40 Ethernet ports plus
adapters for
their wireless devices, costing about $20 per child, a
small price to
pay compared to brain surgery, chemotherapy, radiation
treatments etc. http://octowired.com/
We
are hoping for a timely
response.
Sincerely,
Janis

Dear John Horgan and Adrian Dix
We are appalled that Dr. Bonnie
Henry felt a regurgitated form letter from Kendall’s library
of lies and deception was good enough to send
to a large group of parents, teachers and students who are
concerned about the current proven health risks to our
children from the mandatory exposure to microwave
radiation exposure in our schools. Dr.
Kendall disregarded and
minimized thousands of peer-reviewed studies, providing proof
of cancer, DNA damage, protein synthesis, stress response, and
detrimental biological and health effects in humans that occur
at radiation levels far below the existing Safety Code 6
Guideline.
Dr. Kendall was unable
to provide the parents with even ONE peer reviewed study by a
scientist or medical expert stating “exposure to microwave
radiation is safe for children and the unborn.” The link Dr.
Henry provided to Dr. Kendall's information is dead.
Dr. Stanwick, our
School Health Officer, has endorsed the installation of a known
2b carcinogen listed next to lead, DDT, methyl mercury,
chloroform, and car exhaust as an acceptable risk
in our schools. We want to know is Cancer an acceptable risk
too?
Dr. Bonnie Henry
stated in her recent email
that, she along with my colleagues across the country,
continue to monitor
the science around electromagnetic fields and have reviewed
the recent
publications with scientists at the BCCDC and the BC Cancer
Agency. We
are requesting a copy of these studies and the recent
publications that were
recently "reviewed" along with the names of the scientists and
medical experts who stated microwave radiation exposure is
safe.
We want to know how can Dr. Bonnie
Henry even consider
using the BC Cancer Agency for a reference for Wi-Fi safety in
our schools when
they clearly they have a vested interest in supporting the
wireless industry in
return for millions of dollars in donations? Telus, Glentel and
BC Hydro are
long time supporters of this organization.
This scandalous report shows just how reputable
this organization is. CEO,
Dr. Max Coppes from The BC Cancer Agency receives $561,000
in salary, while they celebrate volunteers, working for
free, to raise money!

We are aware Health Canada administers the Radiation Emitting Devices Act which governs the sale, lease, and importation of radiation emitting devices does NOT have any regulations in place to protect the public from long-term exposure to the biological effects of the “non-thermal” levels of microwave radiation. In 2013, in the Superior Court of Quebec, James McNamee, scientist for Health Canada, admitted that the Safety Code 6 guideline for microwave radiation emitting from wireless technology is based ONLY on thermal effects, heating of the skin.
On page 3, inside the Safety Code 6 document it states, “These guidelines apply to all individuals working at, or visiting, federally regulated sites and may also be adopted by the provinces, industry or other interested parties.” Schools are not federally regulated sites and, therefore, SC 6 does not apply to wifi in schools. The fact that the provinces may Adopt SC 6 means that the provinces are free to set their own guidelines.

Dr. Bonnie Henry
states that “. .
. and we continue to recommend people make personal choices
to reduce their exposure.” How can parents make a Personal
Choice to protect their children when microwave
radiation exposure is mandatory 6 hours a day 5 days a week in
all our public schools and 24/7 in hospitals?
Our Provincial Health
Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, has failed to provide us with an
official response to the 2018, current findings of the US
National Toxicology Program and the supporting Ramazzini
Institute Study along with over 27,000 peer reviewed studies
that confirmed the link to Cancer from Microwave Radiation
Exposure.
Canada agreed the Precautionary Principle
would be implemented when an activity raises threats of harm
to human health or the environment, even if some cause and
effect relationships are not fully established
scientifically. The Precautionary Principle shifts the
burden of proof, insisting that those responsible for an
activity must vouch for its harmlessness and be held
responsible if damage occurs. http://sehn.org/wingspread-conference-on-the-precautionary-principle/
Health is a Provincial Jurisdiction. You have an
obligation and a duty to protect our children by taking the
reasonable steps to reduce wireless radiation in our schools
immediately given the overwhelming amount of evidence of harm.
Respectfully,
Janis Hoffmann

Dear Janice Hoffmann:
I am responding to a number
of emails and letters you have sent in the last few months. I am
aware that you have had several responses from my predecessor
Dr. Kendall and from staff at the Ministry of Health on this
issue. The Honourable Adrian Dix, Minister of Health, asked that
I respond on his behalf.
In
British Columbia, the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) also
provides information regarding the human health effects of
electro-magnetic exposures. This information can be found at: http://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/health-your-environment/electro-magnetic-exposures.
In
addition the statement from Dr. Kendall and frequently asked
questions on this issue is available: http://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/health-your-environment/electro-magnetic-exposures/radiofrequency/do-cell-phones-cause-cancer-statement-from-provincial-health-officer-dr-perry-kendall-optical.
In
my role as Provincial Health Officer I, along with my colleagues
across the country, continue to monitor the science around
electromagnetic fields and have reviewed the recent publications
with scientists at the BCCDC and the BC Cancer Agency. There
continues to be more research needed around cellphone use and
cancer and we continue to recommend people make personal choices
to reduce their exposure. The scientific consensus, however,
continues to support there is no evidence that exposure to wifi
and smart metres and other devices which use radiofrequency
transmission at current exposure levels poses a threat to health
of children or adults in BC. The statement above remains the
position of my office on this issue.
Sincerely,
Bonnie Henry, MD
MPH, FRCPC
Provincial Health Officer

Horgan, Premier
Honourable
Adrian Dix, Minister of Health
Honourable Rob Fleming, Minister of
Education
