“On some days we left the flat hastily”

We are a family of five members with 3 children in the aged 14, 12, and 9. For fourteen and a half years we have lived in Hemberg—a little village in Toggenburg with approximately 900 residents. My husband and I, together with two employees and a trainee, lead a workshop for the repair of agricultural machines and cars. During our time off we enjoy nature, walking during the summer time and skiing during the winter. For the children and for us this living in the countryside is something very beautiful. We cannot imagine ourselves living in a city.

But late summer 2002 our peace was massively disturbed.

“We almost had forgotten about the Natel-antenna”

At this time we accidently learned about the Natel-an-tenna of Swisscom, which was going to be installed in the tower of the Catholic Church—which was at a distance of 100 meter from our house. This led us to give it serious thought because of the emissions. We consulted the electro-biologist Urs Hafner from Degersheim, SG, and wanted to know from him to what extent such an antenna could be harmful for us. Urs Hafner informed us immediately that the location could not have been better for us. The angle position of the antenna was harmless for us. Nevertheless, Swisscom could change the angle position in such a way that the electro-magnetic fields would be directed over our house roofs and thus be absolutely problem-free for us.

We discussed this issue together with the district president, Swisscom and Urs Hafner. After several weeks we were informed that the angle position could not be changed and that the construction license had been given through the municipality.

What can we do? “We have to live with it” we told ourselves. “Perhaps everything is going to be fine and our fear and concern about health problems were unfounded”. We were ok and almost forgot the whole subject.

Suddenly my husband got pneumonia

After 3 months my husband felt exhausted, as if he was going to get a cold. He was barely getting through daily work. At the same time I had frequent headaches, dizziness and severe pain in the neck muscles down to the shoulders.

As we had a lot to do in the workshop, we thought that our complaints were the result of work-stress.

But my husband’s condition got worse. He became hoarse and finally his voice failed completely. He got an appointment with the physician, who immediately examined his lungs. Further investigations and moments of fear followed this first visit. Finally we got the results. He was suffering from a hidden pneumonia. Only after several weeks of medication with antibiotics did he started to feel better.

Meanwhile I felt more and more sick. The muscles became tenser. On some days I had to interrupt the office work, had to lie down and massage my neck. I needed always a longer time to be able to get back to work. In the evening I was so exhausted that I was happy when the children were in bed, and I was able to go to bed too. More and more we had the suspicion, that the reason for our complaints was the Natel-antenna in the church tower.

We discussed the issue with my parents in law, who live opposite to us. I was informed by my mother-in-law, that she was suffering at this time from health problems, but thought, that this was due to her age. We went together to the district president and talked to him about our health problems. We expressed our wish to transfer the antenna to another location. I mean, an antenna does not belong in a church tower in the middle of a village. He listened to us, and promised to discuss the matter with the municipality.

Our Kids could not sleep any more

After a while our second daughter could not sleep as well, she had never before suffered from sleeping problems, she used to get up in the room crying at 22:30 because she could simply not sleep, and the next morning she had to skip school.

In the beginning I used to suggest that she read a few pages so that she would get tired, but that did not help. We were also wondering whether she had problems in school or elsewhere, but that proved not to be the case. Then she switched sleeping places with my husband and Sara found sleep in his bed within a few minutes. On the other hand, my husband could never find sleep in Sara’s bed and next morning he said I will never sleep in that bed again. It was amazing what a bad night that was for him, his eye lids were swollen and his eyes tired.

Next night I tried my luck in Sara’s bed. I was restless as well. All night I was cold, then it was too hot and I woke up every few minutes.

It was obvious that we had to find another solution. We have noticed, that we do not feel unwell to the same degree in all places of the house. It was extremely bad in the kitchen. We were only able to stay there for a short period of time.

We felt head pressure, tense musculature and our energy was really drifting away. On the ground floor, where our workshop is, we sometimes felt better. And in the basement our complaints were reduced. So my husband moved to the basement for several months. Sarah slept with me in the parents bedroom. Thus our sleeping condition had finally improved a little bit.

But then my eldest daughter and my son started to have sleeping problems too. My daughter woke up every night and sat in the middle of her room on the floor. My son woke up sweating every night. We found a sleeping place for my daughter in the bathroom. She slept on a mattress and mostly was able to sleep through the night.

With expensive foils we tried to protect ourselves against the electro-smog

After a certain while we heard about an enterprise, which produces construction foils for shielding purposes and which deals with shielding material. We covered the ceilings with construction foils in different rooms, and with special shielding material we made a kind of tent around each bed, in order to be protected against the emissions.

This cost us a lot. But at least we were able to sleep again in our usual beds- with the exception of my husband. During summer time it was too hot for him under this tent. But the aggressiveness among ourselves, initiated through the massive loss of life-quality and the energy loss during the day, this all remained and we needed a lot of strength and nerve.

We often asked ourselves whether to search for another place to live. But due to business and financial reasons it was not possible. So we only had the option to avoid our house as much as possible. On some days we felt better. On other days, especially on weekends we left our house hastily, because we couldn’t stand it anymore.

It was especially bad in Christmas. We hoped for good snowy weather conditions, so that we could ski a lot. Unfortunately this was not the case. We will never forget Christmas 2002. Our family life was very disturbed and difficult. Everybody tried to keep to himself, and to act the best way possible under the given circumstances. All day we were in a bad mood, and rarely did anybody laugh. We were all tortured by the fear of how things might continue. We were disappointed because only very few persons understood our problems. We became outsiders. The issue of the mobile communication antenna was not understood by our community. The sum of all the stresses and burdens were hard to bear. And we just wanted one thing: to get our previous life back.

A scientist from Egypt helped

During the summer vacation we travelled for two weeks to the Caribbean. There we had no complaints and were able to gain back some of our strength. Back home we slept the first night well, and were all very happy about it. But already the next day complaints and problems started all over again.

Then—a few days later—we were informed that the OMK would intervene. Dr. Ibrahim Karim, an Egyptian scientist, would try to bring our suffering to an end through the use BioGeometric elements. We were awaiting the day desperately on which he would start his pilot project in our village. About four months have passed since that time. Dr. Ibrahim Karim has helped us through his work and through the use of BioGeometry to get back a worthwhile life. Our family is intact again. For this we would like to express our deepest gratitude.

Dr. Karim had to install BioGeometric elements in the church tower. Finally access was arranged on August 20. The effect of these elements was a relief. We were at last able to breathe and our heads were clear again. On the same night as well as on the following days we observed bats coming back again.

Four days later we experienced a major set back and started to search for the cause. We felt that “something” was coming toward us from another side. We noticed that the antennas on Saentis, Hochhamm and Schoenegrund were also influencing us negatively.

Dr. Karim had to deal with this new problem. He installed provisional BioGeometric elements. We immediately felt better again and the birds came back.

Dr. Karim sent his son back to Egypt for the production of the specially designed elements for the Natel-antennas. Dr. Karim had to get back to the church tower to install a stronger element near to the antenna. On September 19, he got the permission for installation.

“We had to protect ourselves from military radio transmissions as well”

Now we have our well-being. In the village, people were sleeping better. But at the end of October we faced a new problem. We frequently experienced bad times—actually only for some hours, but very severe in effect. immediately When we searched for the reason, we found out, that each time we felt ill, the military had activated radio-transmission from stations in the direction of Saentis.

It was difficult to handle, as the military radio-transmission stations were always repositioned in different locations, so that we always had to change the direction of our elements. Upon Dr. Karim’s wish, my husband prepared a special fixture. On this device we mounted BioGeometric elements pointing to all directions. Thus we were “armed” against all emissions.

The Hemberg project was a fruitful time for us, we learnt a lot and we valued the close cooperation with Dr. Karim, his wife and their son. Dr. Karim had foreseen one week work for the Natel-antenna project, but it was extended to four months. We are all very thankful for his efforts. We felt all the time, that he was taking us seriously and that we were in good hands.
