We are well aware that frequently worldwide EHS patients are
misdiagnosed as psychotic and in a number of instances are "sectioned"
(placed involuntarily in psychiatric facilities). This appalling medical
practice/abuse would cease if there were legally protected patients
rights in individual countries.
Last night I read a short text entitled "Consent: Bridging the Gap
between Doctor and Patient" (Cork U Press, 2002, ISBN 1 85918 275 5) by
Professor Mary Donnelly (Law Faculty, University College Cork) where
this fact was made abundantly clear to me.
New Zealand leads in patient orientated rights. These are spelt out in
its "Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers' Rights" of 1996,
and, most importantly, this code has the legislative force of N.Z.'s
1994 "Health and Disability Commissioner Act."
Ms. Donnelly notes: "The [N.Z.] code, which refers to 'consumers' of
healthcare services rather than patients, sets out ten rights accorded
to consumers.
Among these rights are
- the right to respect;
- the right to effective communication;
- the right to be fully informed;
- the right to make an informed choice and to give
informed consent.
The existence of these rights imposes corresponding duties on healthcare
and disability service providers. They must take reasonable actions in
the circumstances to give effect to the consumers' rights. . .." (pp.
72-73)
This N.Z. charter would appear to protect the interests of EHS patients
very well indeed: with such protective legislation for patients the
chances of patients presenting with EHS symptoms being snap-judged as
psychotic and over-hastily shooed into psychiatric facilities would
end--the law would insist it would end.
The N.Z. code can be accessed at: www.hdc.org.nz while the status of
patients' rights worldwide can be viewed at:

RE: WEAKER AND WEAKER FIELDS PRODUCE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS
Dear K. RUDOLPH,
I did read your web page and the ''WEAKER AND WEAKER FIELDS PRODUCE
BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS''.
This is not only reality but there are more. Not only low powered
microwaves produces biological effects but low powered medium waves also
produces biological effects when there are the suitable conditions of
the resonance. It is not necessary to use high power transmission. It is
sufficient to use very low power transmission when the special
parameters (resonance) are perfectly applied.
In this condition also we can avoid the every type of the side effects.
Since more than 30 years I did work about this matter. With the clinical
applications of the this low powered medium waves in the treatment of
the physiotherapy and rehabilitation applications obtained very good
results. I send to you some example in attacment (14 files). Application
parameters should be suitable, othervise, it is not possible to obtain
result which we wanted and also it will produce some side effects. If
any body interest the scientific information about this matter, they can
contact me by e-mail. [email protected]
With my best regards.
GORGUN.
