    Honorary Member: British Society of Ecological Medicine (BSEM)
    Medical Advisor: Oceania Radiofrequency Scientific Advisory Association (ORSAA)
    Medical Advisor: Electrosensitivity UK (ES-UK)
    Member: International Guidelines for Non-Ionising Radiation (IGNIR)

    Emergency Trauma Medicine is her area of expertise in hospital, and in training for this specialty she has a broad base of medical experience including surgery, anaesthesiology, obstetrics, paediatrics and intensive care (both neonatal and adult). She has worked in hospital emergency rooms, led trauma teams, taught on trauma medicine courses throughout the UK and abroad and was selected to instruct doctors on teaching within medicine for Advanced Trauma and Life Support (ATLS).
    In 2008, she began researching biological effects of non-ionising radiation with a special interest in Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS). She has lectured globally on non-ionising radiation health effects with a focus on the need for medical education and protection of vulnerable groups including children as well as those with EHS. She formally transitioned from clinical medicine to full time research in 2015, and continues to advise where appropriate and necessary. Given that the task of providing such support for ever growing numbers is escalating, she founded PHIRE (Physicians’ Health Initiative for Radiation and Environment) to facilitate education on a larger scale.

    Presentation: Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS), Current insights from the field
    Lecture Content: Dr. Mallery-Blythe will briefly outline some of her findings from work in this field over the last 15 years, including some highlights from the recent publications from ICBE-emf.org. She will describe some of the issues currently faced.

    Alain Thill

    Dipl.-Ing. Jörn Gutbier

    Chairman of the board of the Diagnose-Funk e.V. and freelance architect (AKBW), building biologist (IBN).

    The focus of diagnose:funk‘s work is to raise awareness of the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields from various sources on health and the environment independently of industry and politics, thereby changing the behaviour of consumers and politicians, identifying solutions for sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies and supporting local authorities in formulating and implementing a precautionary mobile communications policy.

    Presentation: The range of scientifically proven risks of mobile phone technology
    Jörn Gutbier is going to present the range of scientifically proven risks of mobile phone technology, to discuss the (protective) value of mobile phone limit values, to describe the future of mobile communication in terms of precaution, and to point out technical and structural alternatives. The lecture will be rounded off with practical tips for everyday use of smart phones, DECT phones and Wi-Fi in the home.

    Presentation: How to protect ourselves from EMFs
    Understanding how EMFs impact us and strategies we can take to minimise negative health impact. In this talk we will focus on gaining insight into the things we can control, so we can function in a wireless world that we have little control over.
    After this talk you will be able to identify things in your daily life you can control to bring down your EMF exposure, understand co-existing conditions that make you more vulnerable to the damaging impact of EMFs,prioritise nutrients that can protect from the cell damage of EMF.

    Prof. Dr. Dr.habil. Klaus Buchner wurde am 6. 2. 1941 in München geboren. Nach dem Studium der Physik in München und Edinburgh / Schottland, u.a. bei Prof. Higgs (Nobelpreis 2013) arbeitete er am Max-Planck-Institut für Physik und Astrophysik, München, dessen Direktor damals Prof. Heisenberg (Nobelpreis 1932) war, an den Universitäten in Kioto / Japan (unter Prof. Yukawa, Nobelpreis 1939) und in Chandigarh / Indien, am Internationalen Zentrum für Theoretische Physik in Triest und zuletzt an der Technischen Universität München. Insgesamt verfasste er gut 80 wissenschaftliche Arbeiten in verschiedenen Gebieten. Er verbrachte Gastaufenthalte in Ägypten, Dänemark, Griechenland, Italien, Polen, Rumänien, Ungarn und USA. Von 2003 bis 2010 war er der Bundesvorsitzende der Ökologisch-Demokratischen Partei ÖDP. 2014 wurde er ins Europäische Parlament gewählt; 2020 übergab er sein Mandat an seine Nachfolgerin Manuela Ripa. Im Parlament war er in der ersten Legislaturperiode in den drei Ausschüssen für Außenpolitik, Menschenrechte und Sicherheit/Verteidigung und als stellvertretendes Mitglied im Ausschuss für Außenhandel. In der zweiten wechselte er zu den Ausschüssen Umwelt/Energie sowie Industrie/Forschung, blieb aber stellvertretendes Mitglied des Ausschusses für Außenhandel.

    Außerdem war Buchner von 2014 bis 2020 Mitglied der EU-Delegation für den Iran. Als Kernphysiker konzentrierte er sich auf das „Nuklearabkommen“ JCPOA von 2015 und die Situation nach der Vertragskündigung durch die USA. Ein besonderes Anliegen war ihm außerdem die Verletzung elementarer Menschenrechte im Iran.

    Thomas Thrän

    Thomas Thrän

    Specialist in psychosomatic medicine, psychotherapy and naturopathy from Germany, Neu-Ulm

    Presentation: ELECTROHYPERSENSITIVITY! What is that?

    An “illegitimate disease” as an expression of a danger to humans, animals and plants. Electrohypersensitivity is often dismissed as a purely psychosomatic illness.

    The speaker provides information on the clinical picture according to the latest scientific findings and presents his own studies on the subject. He gives specific tips for those affected, relatives and practitioners on how to deal with it.
    The general ignorance of the population regarding the massive health risks posed by radio waves is in stark contrast to the worrying results of free science, which conducts research independently of the industry lobby. In addition to the political aspect, the presentation will focus primarily on the clinical picture with definition, diagnosis, biological pathological effects and therapeutic approaches. In particular, the current study by Belpomme will be presented, which clearly proves by laboratory, radiology and ultrasound that EHS is a treatable physical and neurological disease associated with organic changes.
    It also explains exactly how you can protect yourself and your family from excessive exposure to electromagnetic fields. On this day, the speaker will provide information on these and many other aspects, in particular the effects on health. With just a few simple steps, you can save yourself around 75% of the radiation exposure. Mr. Thrän will show you how. We promise!

    Mgr. Petra Bertová Polovková

    Chairman of the Elektrosmog & Health, IT teacher, Programmer, Candidate for the EP election in Slovakia

    Presentation: You can also get involved in forming EU laws. EU claims that. But is it true? Is EU still a democratic project? An institution that respects the values of freedom, solidarity and human rights, or is it just another autocratic, central state body outside of democratic control, losing legitimacy?

    Petra will be talking about EU Parliament, European Commission and citizens’ political tools that the citizens can use to raise his/her voice and whether it matters.
