Agency Admits EMFs Can Sicken You

 

 

For the first time, the British Health Protection Agency (HPA) has

acknowledged that nausea, headaches, and muscle pains are potential

side effects of the electromagnetic fields of mobile phones and

computer screens.

 

Electrosensitivity

 

Electrosensitivity, a heightened reaction to electrical energy, will

be recognized as a physical impairment. The HPA has reviewed all

scientific literature on the subject and concluded that it is a real

syndrome. 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 of

memory.

 

300,000 Swedish Sufferers

 

Britain will join Sweden in recognizing electrosensitivity as a

problem. About 300,000 Swedish men and women are sufferers. Citizens

there have received government assistance to retrofit their homes and

offices with gas stoves and wall and window coverings designed to

reduce exposure to these fields.

 

The acknowledgement may fuel legal action in Britain against mobile

phone companies by those who suffer from the problem. There is

particular concern about exposure to emissions from large mobile phone

transmission stations, which are often located near schools or hospitals.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

 

Although the media would have you believe that EMF radiation danger is

controversial, there are many articles that I have posted that

document the damage they can do to your health, particularly from

cellular phone use and computer monitors.

 

Government agencies have debated the damage you can sustain from EMF

exposure for a long time, but Sweden acknowledged this problem some

five years ago, and now the UK has finally done the same.

 

On top of the electrosensitivity problem, there is evidence that EMFs

from 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 phone

is from your body. If you have a cell phone, I strongly recommend you

use a headset or speaker phone, and keep the phone itself well away

from your body.

 

I can tell you that I believe this danger to be real and am very

delighted to have the new air cell phone headsets that we have just

introduced. I always use it on my cell phone and will not talk without

it. All my family members and the physicians in our clinic regularly

use it to virtually eliminate the danger their cell phones pose to

their health.

 

If you use a cell phone without the speaker phone feature, then this

is simply a must. There is no excuse to not use this technology, which

virtually eliminates all the dangers of using a cell phone.

 

Another possibility is attaching one of the ferrite beads I offer in

my Web store to your regular headset; this can lower your exposure to

radio frequency radiation (RFR). I actually use both of these options

with my cell phone.
