In Memoriam Arthur Firstenberg (28 May 1950 -25 February 2025)
Arthur Firstenberg was born in Brooklyn in 1950. Due to an overdose of X-ray radiation during medical treatment, he became Electro hypersensitive. Because of this experience, he saw it as his duty to educate the world about the dangers of electromagnetic fields (EMF). Through radio and TV interviews, books and writings, he showed the world how to deal with the problems that electro-sensitive people experienced in the vicinity of transmission masts, smart meters and other sources of EMF indoors and outdoors.
He campaigned all the way to high legal circles in the USA to draw attention to the problem of radiation. In vain, he fought several lawsuits to get rid of those EMF sources. He was very strict in his approach to the issue and felt that anyone who used mobile communication was guilty in perpetuating the system. He himself owned no mobile phone or TV and did his necessary internet work on a PC in the Santa Fe Public Library.
His voluminous book ‘The Invisible Rainbow’ was published in 2017. In it, he describes how, since the invention of wireless telegraphy, starting with Nicola Tesla's inventions, EMF emissions increased visibly and people in the neighbourhood suffered from the symptoms we now call electro hypersensitivity (EHS). At the time, electro-sensitive people received no recognition and complaints were trivialised - as is still often the case today. Arthur also explains how all living things use electricity in one form or another and that the EMF in the environment can interfere with the functioning of organisms and cells.
Earlier, in 1997, he published Microwaving Our Planet: The Environmental Impact of the Wireless Revolution and still this year his latest book, The Earth and I. Where almost all environmental books treat the environmental crisis as though humans are in charge of nature, rather than part of it. Arthur Firstenberg wrote the first book to put all preconceived notions aside and to ask, naïvely: Who are we really? What is our relationship to the earth?
With the passing of Arthur Firstenberg, we miss an important advocate for a world unburdened by the sickening technology that is increasingly defining our world.

The international appeal of EHS people. The organisers request to sign and share it. The concept of the organisers is that everyone will be able to use this to show to their government how many people feel concerned.

Book from The Netherlands
Author: Jolanda van den Berg
Title: Ongecontroleerd bestraald (Uncontrolled irradiation)
Being an electrotechnical engineer and a project manager, the author in the past was involved in the building of the GSM network. After becoming electro-sensitive herself, she started to delve into the technical side of radiation. With sharp logical reasoning and humour, this homeless radiation refugee brings to light the shortcomings of the government regarding wireless.
Starting point for the book was an official online course ‘Antennas’ under the auspices of three organizations affiliated with the Ministry of Economic Affairs. This course is meant for people with professional interest in mobile communication antennas. The course itself, the debates with the instructors and investigations afterwards gave the author good insight into the arguments used by the central government.
The government’s vision expressed in this course is analysed by the author mainly on technical arguments. The book discusses several flaws, like the lack of insight into actual radiation levels (too few measurements, undocumented measurements, wrong methods) and the inadequate rules for unlicensed antennas that can lead to dangerous situations. There is no proper monitoring and the communication is biased.
No wonder that MPs, municipal officials, doctors and citizens have the impression that wireless is safe and just repeat the mantra that below the ICNIRP values there is nothing to worry about. For those who know different, the book can be a help finding clues how the false arguments can be refuted.
