ELECTRO-POLLUTION:

 

 

 

A damning new 44-page report published this month by What Doctors

Don't Tell You has found that we are all being exposed to 500 times

more than the safe limit of electromagnetic radiation, most of which

happens in our own homes and offices, causing a range of conditions

from headaches and a flu-like feeling, to chronic fatigue and

depression - and in extreme cases, leukaemia and tumours.

 

Occupational studies and anecdotal evidence have revealed that people

are damaged by over-exposure to electricity in ways that medicine

cannot recognise or fix. Many of us walking around with inexplicable

symptoms may simply be suffering from an overload of the electricity

we are assaulted by every moment of our lives. In a recent Swedish

study from the prestigious Karolinska Institute, it was estimated that

as much as 3 per cent of the population suffer from extreme adverse

reactions to EMFs.

 

Here's the harrowing experience of one WDDTY reader, and the dramatic

effect electromagnetic radiation has had on his life:

 

" My first experience with electrosensitivity was seven

years ago, while working very near a satellite-communications base

station. I worked in that job for

 

11 months, and had concentration and short-term memory problems for

most of that time. About three years ago, I installed wireless

networking in my home and office. So, for 18 months, I had

near-continuous exposure to wireless networking, laptops, computers,

and DECT [digital enhanced cordless telecommunication] and mobile phones.

 

" It was then that both I and my close colleagues noticed a

significant effect on my work capability - poor concentration/focus,

poor short-term memory, headaches. I also noticed I could tell when

the wireless network was on because of sensation in the skin of my face.

 

" I moved house to a semi-rural location, but my issues with

concentration/motivation/ memory still gave me problems. For example,

once a week, I used to have to go to the Institute of Directors in

London for regular weekly meetings. But every time I went, my symptoms

got significantly worse, and those days were a complete write-off for

me. I discovered they had wireless broadband in the building.

 

" I had to resign from my firm. "

 

 

For decades it has been an open secret that workers exposed to

continual electro-magnetic radiation - for example, electronics

technicians, TV and radio assemblers, welders and train drivers - run

a significantly higher risk of brain tumours and leukaemia - in some

cases, as much as three times the risk. But it's not just workers in

the electronics and electrical industries who are at risk. Just six

months ago, a team from Oxford University concluded that children

living within 100 metres of overhead power lines had almost twice the

risk of developing leukaemia.

 

The problem is that we understand how electricity works better than we

understand how we ourselves work. Modern medicine is still stuck in an

obsolete paradigm, believing that the body's basic signal is a

chemical one. Small wonder that doctors, in the main, refuse to

believe that symptoms of electrosensitivity are anything but the

sufferer's paranoid imaginings.
