In April 2013, in my capacity as member of the Swiss advocacy group, ARA (www.alerte.ch), I wrote the following letter to Dr. Maria Neira, Director, Public Health and Environment at the World Health Organization. Unlike Dr. van Deventer and Dr. Chan, she seemed to be someone more open to the issue of the potential health risks of exposure to electromagnetic fields. My letter forwarded the one from a member of the EM Radiation Research Trust addressed to the three doctors at the IARC concerning the 2B classification of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. Following are the two letters, being re-posted in order to place them on the Facebook site, "Cell Tower Radiation is Killing Us". I never received a reply from Dr. Neira.

Dear Dr. Neira,
I would like to share with you a letter from Susan Foster, member of the International EMF Alliance, addressed to the three doctors responsible for the IARC 2011 Press Release announcing classification of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) as possibly carcinogenic to humans. In the letter, she expresses her concerns regarding the dilution of information from WHO about the potential risks of exposure to electromagnetic fields.
More and more persons are becoming sensitive to EMF. It is a very disabling syndrome which erodes the quality of life. Persons who are electrohypersensitive are misunderstood by those closest to them and by the medical profession which is not trained to diagnose and treat this syndrome. The Swiss Federal Office of the Environment goes so far as to state, as does the WHO Fact Sheet on EMF that “the simple fact of anticipating exposure to electromagnetic fields can sometimes make symptoms of electrosensitive persons appear and also reinforce them.”
