PHIRE Medical Doctors

Dr Erica Mallery-Blythe

BM (Soton) - UK / USA

Founder of PHIRE

Dr. Erica Mallery-Blythe is a Special Expert at the International Commission on Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF) and Founder of Physicians’ Health Initiative for Radiation and Environment (PHIRE). She is a UK trained medical doctor with a decade of experience within hospital medicine. Emergency trauma medicine was her area of expertise in hospital, and in training for this specialty she has a broad base of medical experience including surgery, anaesthestics, 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 been invited to lecture globally on this issue and discussed the public health issues surrounding non-ionising radiation exposure at the highest political level both in the UK, and in Europe.

She formally transitioned from clinical medicine to full time research in 2015 and founded PHIRE (Physicians’ Health Initiative for Radiation and Environment) to facilitate education on a larger scale. The group is currently constructing best practice guidelines for non-ionising radiation (NIR) health safeguarding for multiple settings including hospitals, schools and workspaces.

MBBS MRSB - UK

President of the British Society for Ecological Medicine

Dr Downing is President of the British Society for Ecological Medicine and was for 20 years Editor of the Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine. He serves on the Editorial Board of the Orthomolecular News Service and the Board of the Neurolipid Research Foundation.

His 1988 book Daylight Robbery pioneered our understanding of how vital sunlight and vitamin D are for health. The Vitamin Cure for Allergies was released in 2010, and
The Vitamin Cure for Digestive Disorders came out in 2014

He practises as part of New Medicine Group in Harley St, London.

He has particular interests in membrane lipids and lipid therapy, in mitochondrial dysfunction, in environmental toxic effects, and of course in sunlight and vitamin D.

Damien Downing practises Ecological Medicine, a systems approach to health that considers interactions between individuals and the environment, and their health consequences.

Dr Elizabeth Evans

MA(Cantab), MBBS(Lond), DRCOG - UK

Medical adviser to SSITA (Safe Schools Information Technology Alliance)

Dr. Evans studied preclinical medicine at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge (1990-1993) then went to St Mary’s Hospital Medical School, London to complete her clinical training (1993-1996). After her House Officer jobs she worked as a Senior House Officer (SHO) in A&E for 6 months. She joined a GP training scheme in 2000 in Haywards Heath, Sussex and did SHO jobs in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Psychiatry, as well as GP Registrar posts.

She cofounded Stop Smart Meters (UK) with Mike Mitcham in 2012 and is medical adviser to SSITA (Safe Schools Information Technology Alliance). She has given a number of public talks on the adverse health effects of wireless radiation and in April 2013 she gave evidence to the Commons Select Committee overseeing the UK Smart Meter roll-out, on the adverse health effects from wireless smart meters.

She is a member of the British Society of Ecological Medicine (doctors who practice Allergy, Environmental and Nutritional Medicine) and attends a number of their training modules and scientific meetings.

Professor Lennart Hardell

MD, PhD - Sweden

Lennart Hardell, MD, PhD, has a long career as a clinical and medical research doctor, currently at the Department of Oncology, University Hospital, Örebro, Sweden. He has also served as a professor at the Örebro University. He is specialised in oncology with a focused interest in environmental risk factors for cancer that he has studied in epidemiological investigations. He was a Research fellow at School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley, USA in 1985.

Over the years he has been awarded several scientific prizes for his research. In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s he was the first to show an increased riks for cancer in persons exposed to phenoxy herbicides and contaminating dioxins. His research group has also made studies on pesistent organic pollutants and cancer risks, such as PCB and the risk for malignant lymphoma.

In recent years much research has focused on use of mobile phones and cordless phones and the risk of brain tumours. His reseach has contributed to the cancer classification of different agents such as TCDD, PCB, the herbicide glyphosate, and radiofrequency fields. He has published more than 300 peer-reviewed scientific articles.

Dr Andrew Tresidder

MB BS Lond, MRCGP 1989, Cert Med Ed - UK

Andrew has been a GP since 1989, seeing a wide range of Primary Care Practice. He has a special interest in Health and Well being, both physical and emotional, and has studied this whilst working with his patients. He seeks to give the best of orthodox diagnoses and treatment, and also recognise other factors that contribute to and may maintain ill health, in order to eliminate them if possible. I have a wide-ranging knowledge of factors that affect health. Currently he works for NHS Somerset CCG as a GP Patient Safety Lead, for the University of Bristol as an Examiner and Educator and former Somerset Academy GP Lead, and is approved under the Mental Health Act as a Section 12 Doctor. He is also a trustee of the charity ES-UK, which post has given him the privilege of access to more information and research about the condition than many clinical colleagues.

He has a particular interest in teaching about health and well-being, as well as understanding illness, and in the psychology of what makes us tick as people, and how to tick better

From research, he has learnt about the importance of sleep, posture, breathing, emotional support, nutritional correctness, and freedom from electromagnetic transmission fields amongst other areas. His interest in the environmental effects of electromagnetic fields started after seeing a child with headaches some 20 years ago (cured by removal of a nearby electrical device). He has seen a number of people who feel unwell in the vicinity of wireless transmitters, mobile phone masts, cordless phones, from using a mobile phone, and from active alarm sensors, amongst other things, and also knows this from personal experience.
