Agency Admits EMFs Can Sicken You

 

For the first time, the British Health Protection Agency (HPA) hasacknowledged that nausea, headaches, and muscle pains are potentialside effects of the electromagnetic fields of mobile phones andcomputer screens.

 

Electrosensitivity

 

Electrosensitivity, a heightened reaction to electrical energy, willbe recognized as a physical impairment. The HPA has reviewed allscientific literature on the subject and concluded that it is a realsyndrome. It had previously been dismissed as a psychological effect.

 

Many are believed to be affected to some extent by this syndrome.Symptoms can also include dizziness, irregular heartbeat, and loss ofmemory.

 

300,000 Swedish Sufferers

 

Britain will join Sweden in recognizing electrosensitivity as aproblem. About 300,000 Swedish men and women are sufferers. Citizensthere have received government assistance to retrofit their homes andoffices with gas stoves and wall and window coverings designed toreduce exposure to these fields.

 

The acknowledgement may fuel legal action in Britain against mobilephone companies by those who suffer from the problem. There isparticular concern about exposure to emissions from large mobile phonetransmission stations, which are often located near schools or hospitals.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

 

Although the media would have you believe that EMF radiation danger iscontroversial, there are many articles that I have posted thatdocument the damage they can do to your health, particularly fromcellular phone use and computer monitors.

 

Government agencies have debated the damage you can sustain from EMFexposure for a long time, but Sweden acknowledged this problem somefive years ago, and now the UK has finally done the same.

 

On top of the electrosensitivity problem, there is evidence that EMFsfrom cell phones can cause:

 

* Brain cancer * Tumor growth on the auditory nerve * Possibly Alzheimer's disease * Many other potential problems

 

However, the danger decreases exponentially the farther the cell phoneis from your body. If you have a cell phone, I strongly recommend youuse a headset or speaker phone, and keep the phone itself well awayfrom your body.

 

I can tell you that I believe this danger to be real and am verydelighted to have the new air cell phone headsets that we have justintroduced. I always use it on my cell phone and will not talk withoutit. All my family members and the physicians in our clinic regularlyuse it to virtually eliminate the danger their cell phones pose totheir health.

 

If you use a cell phone without the speaker phone feature, then thisis simply a must. There is no excuse to not use this technology, whichvirtually eliminates all the dangers of using a cell phone.

 

Another possibility is attaching one of the ferrite beads I offer inmy Web store to your regular headset; this can lower your exposure toradio frequency radiation (RFR). I actually use both of these optionswith my cell phone.

They might admit but there seems little understanding as too how bad the

problem is and the fact its also linked to not only weather changes and

certain types of infection.

 

Carbon is not the enemy; but unmeasureable levels of electropollution

from so call small technology... Air conditioning and wind turbine are

being sold as power effeicient...They arn`t only producing

electropollution but nanopaticles.
