Letters/Initiatives - Health
Writing formal letters isn't everyone's favourite pastime. For most of us, it is a lot of work, and our busy lives interfere with good intentions. Even when written, letters on this topic more often than not seem to fall on deaf ears, or result in a formulaic response and nothing more. A frustrating process. Group initiatives are even harder to organize.
Yet voices are necessary if any kind of progress can be made, with anything. Informative conversations, and letters to physicians, caregivers, community members, industry and government authorities, can all help to raise awareness about the biological health effects of electromagnetic fields and RF microwave radiation.
In this part of the CST website, we will attempt to present an ongoing collection of letters, articles and initiatives already undertaken that may serve as examples and springboards for others.
Hopefully, the more people hear and learn about the problem, and the more strategies and solutions are shared, the sooner we can work together to find relief and alternatives for those who are having difficulty coping in today's technological world.
