Hidden danger for
the EHS |

More and different technologies are being
added now and pose a potential risk for all living things, but also hidden
dangers for the electro hypersensitive can be a minefield. As a general rule we are all most affected
by the technology which first sensitised us. Mine is TETRA but yours could be
3G, DECT phones, mobile phones………… whatever. NOTE: There may be exceptions to the rule but we just
don’t know enough. This is because no one is monitoring the people who are
EHS or carrying out meaningful and useful research in the Just this year I have discovered two areas
that can cause more concern for the EHS: 1. The effects of mixing
technologies – adding to the agony 2. The effects of being “zappedâ€
by two different technologies – how and why your body /mind can
malfunction for a short while. NOTE: I can only
explain in full my own reactions, but the accounts of other electro
hypersensitive people who have shared their experiences with me are
surprisingly similar when they share the same primary sensitiser i.e. TETRA. I don’t talk to
many people who have another technology as their primary sensitiser and some
people don’t know which technology sensitised them originally, so is this
just a TETRA + other technology off-shoot? Again we do not have enough
information/ It could be useful
to know about the different reactions to different technologies as a primary
sensitiser, within mixing technologies and after double exposures (I call it
zapping). The collective findings could be used to make electro
hypersensitives aware of the dangers; in media quotes; and perhaps to raise
awareness with GPs/official bodies. If you want to share your
experiences in confidence please email me at : MastSicknessUK@ If you are in the UK and
want to phone me, please Contact Rod Read of ES-UK on 01353
778151, who will pass on my phone number. Rod’s email electrosensitivity@ Website: www.electrosensitiv There will be no need to
give confidential information but it might help to include your country or
area. I will collate them and
pass them on where they will be of most use. In this present political climate we have very little
choice on how to seek advice and help. We can only share information with other sufferers, or
with those professionals who support our cause, and we only have one official
overworked EHS organisation in the Therefore we need to help ourselves by sharing
information and doing what we can. I do realise that many can do very
little and some can’t use computers, but we can write letters to MPs or send
written comments about articles we see in the newspapers etc. We can also get an advice sheet from Rod Read of ES-UK
and try talking to our GPs, if we feel a little thick skinned! Every
little helps! I have written a letter for you to send to
MPs/MEPs if you are in the You can however write to your MP and ask
him/her to support EDM1316 before 20th July 07 which requests an
alternative to the energy saving light bulbs which affect us and those with
epilepsy and other illnesses. Life experience – Mixing Technologies Extracts from my log of events since December 2002 TETRA mixing with 2G/3G and the Harmonics of TETRA JULY 06 During the weeks before the 14th to 17th
July 06 people in this area who are sensitive to TETRA had to endure days of
high power testing on and off. I was one of them. We also experienced TV
disruption and videoed programs with pulsed lines across them. As a result of
not being able to watch, or record on, the TV at times we cancelled our TV
licence from 31st July 06 and complained to OFCOM which was an utter
waste of time. Between the 14th and 17th July
06, the power of the TETRA was so high that all the birds disappeared, even the
pigeons, magpies and jackdaws! The seagulls were screeching furiously and
flying in circles as if a massive storm was imminent and then they cleared the
area, too. The same was happening over Bognor with the seagulls but I have
no info about the other birds from that area. (Update of 25th September 06 – three
people in Bognor have confirmed that all birds cleared the area and very few
have returned) Only high powered TETRA causes that. That is the only
time the birds clear the area suddenly and then slowly return a few days/weeks
later all bedraggled and scared. A few days after this, 8 or 9 of the birds, who
are regulars of 50+ birds to include fledglings we had the week before, came
back. No babies came with them. We love animals and wildlife and have got to know the
behaviour and habits of our regular birds. Some do disappear gradually once the
babies are fledged, but never have we known them all go together. This
happens every time a new TETRA mast is turned on, or there is testing for
changes to TETRA, which means that there is excessive high power. Usually it
has been just the smaller birds and not the magpies, crows, pigeons and
seagulls. The people who are sensitive to TETRA suffered badly
and those who are not had flu-like symptoms, headaches, and felt physically and
mentally drained. I had some really bad nights and some awful
experiences with pain and discomfort in the daytime despite extra protection I
was provided with due to the weeks of testing beforehand. My husband was having sleepless nights or nightmares
– which he has never had in his life. There is only a small area of our flat that is not
affected by TETRA/3G/2G so we now sleep within that small space on each side of
a dividing wall to protect ourselves despite having double the protection we
used to have. This flat was tested by two people using 2 different
methods. Both found THREE TETRA lines of emissions, two of them
the conventional TETRA pulsing at 17.6 Hz and one pulsing at 20.26Hz –an
entirely new addition – but both are on the Beta Brain wave frequencies. We are actively seeking a new place to live because we
cannot stay here. Most of our flat is dangerous to live in as the lines
of emissions cross each other, creating secondary frequencies as they mix
together. NOTE: I later learnt that we lived with a secondary
frequency just one degree off what the My health may be deteriorating and I am in constant
pain and/or discomfort. It is useless to go to a doctor because they are not
informed of the effects to people who are sensitive to this technology. I suddenly plunge into deep depressive states, become
very apathetic, mentally confused, have memory/concentratio OCTOBER 06 – after we had moved I cannot yet get my head round what we experienced
there. [in our former home] My husband was awake on and off most nights, had
terrible nightmares - something he has never had in his life - and was a
different person - aggressive, uncaring, impatient. He luckily has returned to
his usual placid, kind and helpful self, or we wouldn't be together now. When I was still sleeping in the “nightmareâ€
bedroom I used to have dreadful nightmares or wake up to find I could
not move or could not breathe. Some nights I had the feeling thatI was plugged
into the electricity supply and my body was jerking or rippling with the stuff. Even after we moved our beds to the safer spot
either side of the middle wall, we still experienced nightmares and were awake
in the night. I had tingling sensations, sharp chest, head and neck pain
and woke up panicking and in terror. Sometimes one or other side of my body was
cramped badly and I had to try to force my body to move mentally. I had great trouble remembering/ (I should have listened as I was way off beam!) I had waking hallucinations/ paranoia/ trouble
relating my feelings to family. Sometimes it was better and I was more able to
concentrate/ Now that I am away from it I realise that I
was unable to feel, think or do anything as I did before. I realise that I was way off beam. I have just remembered what V said, that she let me
have the chalet because she thought I was cracking up! She was right, but it
wasn't me cracking up, it was the TETRA affecting me. I couldn't see it at the
time. I couldn't see it after. I even fled to my daughter's for one night
and she thought I was cracking up and suicidal. I wasn't. It was the TETRA. Having been totally away from sleeping in that place
for over 2 weeks I am beginning to feel myself again. I still have
some problems with remembering/ I have spoken to others who have described
similar things - X in Bognor and Y in TETRA mixing with 2G Update November 20th
06 I feel very unwell and unable to sleep
much. My neck, knees, feet and head are all exceedingly painful and I am
getting depressed and doing silly things again like putting a tea towel close
to the oven and coming back to find it alight! The birds have all gone,
what few we had! I know it is TETRA but cannot think how it came here, if
it is here. I feel it is in this flat. There had been high powered
TETRA signals for a few days then yesterday it was really bad and all the birds
to include the seagulls, pigeons, crows, magpies – all the larger birds –
were squawking and screaming and circling as they moved away westward. This
at Late NOVEMBER 06 It seems it must have been some sort of
testing or realignment as the flat has been tested and the harmonic line of
TETRA pulsing at 20.16 Hz reaches a good 5 metres into the living room and the
main bedroom. I can’t go into those rooms now. I could before despite
2G emissions at either end of the flat. We have to find another place to
live. DECEMBER 06 I don’t know WHAT it is but I know WHERE it is
because I can feel it - and this “other TETRA†is worse than the original
brand it runs parallel to. I am at least 2 miles away from the nearest
known TETRA masts so we are talking about TETRA lines of emissions here. I have experienced it and know how awful it is. If you take away physical, mental and emotional
coordination what are you left with? If people then become unable to
think straight, concentrate, remember and feel emotion are they still useful
human beings? If, further, they begin to lose their beliefs and
spirituality isn’t that abuse of humanity? Are people who say the suicide rates are up because of
TETRA right? I would say definitely yes, and other effects too are quite
dangerous. You can have accidents when your mind blanks while out and about; or
cause accidents in the home; or fail to understand something or pay something
etc. and get into hot water somehow. TETRA
mixing with Wi-Fi 03 January 07 The harmonic TETRA line receded when TETRA
was not on higher power but it was on higher power quite a lot over the last
month or so. We are still looking for a new place to live. On New Year’s Eve we watched the birds
all go up in a screeching, circling flight towards the west again – hundreds
and hundreds of seagulls etc. Don’t know what is going on but I don’t feel
very comfortable and I am in pain on and off of some sort. 06 January 07 I went to Bognor yesterday and really
could not handle it. I felt sick and ill and my neck and legs/feet really hurt.
My blood circulation slowed badly in my left foot. I also had trouble breathing. January 11th 07 Went to Bognor again on the 9th and I was even
worse. I got an electric shock from a police handset (TETRA) when the
policeman answered a call. The TETRA handset was 40 to 50 yards away from me. It felt like a bolt of strong electrical current had
run through my right foot. It stopped me dead in the middle of the road and I
stumbled because my foot wouldn’t work. There was oncoming traffic, but
luckily flowing slowly! After a few minutes I had the most awful pains in
various parts of my body, which lasted for almost an hour. I was unwell for two
days after that. Late January 07 I have had further bad experiences in
Bognor to include crossing a known TETRA line by car and getting an electric
shock. When we turned the corner there was an ambulance and a paramedic
car parked outside of a house. One evening, I also experienced both of my
legs/feet becoming numb/red/mauve/ up to the knees where the circulation
slows right down when I am within TETRA emissions. Obviously the WiFi
makes it worse! My protection provider says WLAN (Wifi) is
covering Bognor and mixing with TETRA and mobile phone mast emissions. He
says TETRA mixing with WLAN created new frequencies of between 5 and
12HZ. The effect on me is that I have trouble breathing and all the usual
symptoms are worse. When I try going out even in Aldwick I get so
breathless that I feel I am going to pass out. I also get heart palpitations
and chest pain. My husband has been coming out with me but we both agree that I
need to stay home all the time. My protection provider cannot provide
protection for this. He can only treat the effects of it
afterwards. I have become extremely sensitised through all that has
happened since last Summer and it is imperative that we move soon. Late February 07 I had to go to Bognor to arrange for fees
for our new flat. My bank is in an area with lower emissions than the rest of
the shopping centre so I hoped it would be alright. I hadn’t felt comfortable
in the bank for a while but it was better than other places. I had only been in the bank for a few
minutes when I started to feel really queer. I couldn’t think straight, said
words wrongly and my breathing was difficult. The bank staff knew of my condition from
previous visits so when they said it would take a while I said I would go out
and come back. I walked to a safer area and began to recover. My husband
had gone to do some shopping for me, as he had for the last month or so, so I
went to the car to see if he had returned. He had to move the car for some
reason and we got stuck on a TETRA line for a few minutes. It really shook me
up. My husband came back to the bank with me
and we had only been there for a few moments when I felt I was going to pass
out. My husband said I just collapsed and was not breathing until he moved me. I
can only remember that I was having trouble breathing. When I began to recover
I shook violently and could not talk straight. I was unwell for days and
will not go into Bognor anymore. JUNE 07 I used to be able to feel the emission
lines of TETRA as pain and so I could always avoid them quickly, but I have
lived in an almost emission-free flat for four months now and healing has
lessened my sensitivity a great deal. I only feel TETRA now when I have been in
the emissions for several minutes and I only know because of the way my head
feels; and because the red blood cells in my left foot start to clump
together, causing my foot to colour from red to mauve/white where the blood
flow slows down. After I had been zapped by a TETRA line along a part
of the beach I had not visited before, I felt a bit strange but not
unwell. I also mixed words up or couldn’t remember what I was going to
say a second or two before, but otherwise I was fine. Going home I thought that the power output must be
high on the masts in the area because I could slightly feel something. When I
hit the point of a TETRA line I had already located earlier, when I was still
very sensitive, I thought “Wow! TETRA power is really high today. I can
actually feel it.†NOTE: I was told later that the TETRA was not on high
power. I had simply been sensitised again when I encountered the TETRA
emissions accidentally and that is why I could feel it again as I used to. As I
said, TETRA was my original sensitiser and so it affected me more than another technology
might have done. Two hours or so later I went to visit family and my
head felt the heaviness of emissions of some sort as I entered the house. I
asked permission to turn off the DECT phone and the broadband internet
connection on the computer but the pressure in my head remained. Some ten to fifteen minutes later I literally exploded
verbally when I saw a young girl with a mobile phone in her hand holding it
close to her head, her younger brother’s head and a puppy’s head. I am capable of fiery anger to defend people but it is
usually controlled until I can use it coolly to fight verbally for
others. However when affected by pulsed microwave radiation, there have been
times when I have lost control and this was one of them, although I did not
realise it at the time. NOTE: Can the increase in violence, verbally and
physically, be associated with this ‘lose of control’ phenomena around some
of this technology? I DEFEND when angry, other are prone to ATTACK when angry. I ‘threw the book’ at this family verbally for not
showing due care and concern for their children and a young animal! Since
they believe that this technology cannot possibly harm anyone or anything it
was a really bad move! That they are family usually makes me a bit more tactful
and careful of their feelings than I would be with mobile phone operators! NOTE: What I am trying to point out here is that
normal control goes out of the window sometimes when people who are EHS are
zapped. So take this as a warning sign that you are being affected if it
happens to you or if you get more restless, anxious or irritable……..or if
non-sensitive partners/family members do. Non-sensitives are sometimes
affected without realising that they are. About half an hour after this I began to feel quite
sick and unwell. My head was swimming and I couldn’t think straight. The children were going berserk, screaming
and shouting, arguing and fighting and nothing their father did or said made
any difference. I had never seen the children so out of control. Then the
normally placid puppy was tearing round the garden and in and out of the door
head-butting anyone in the way. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It
was madness. The children’s and pup’s eyes looked wild and weird. I wandered into the lounge to watch the
local news on TV. It was a digital TV broadcast but normally I can
tolerate this for short periods of time. That day I couldn’t. I
felt I would pass out, so I left the room and sat in the dining room. My chest was very tight and I was having
trouble breathing properly and I suddenly remembered my previous attack and
tried to call my husband. I couldn’t call him or move to get up, my
body was like jelly. With great effort I managed to bring up my arms
before my body rolled forward so that my head did not hit the table. I don’t remember how long I was like
that. My husband thinks for between 20 to 30 minutes. I remember vaguely
hearing someone talk to me, a child, and I tried to ask whoever it was to get
my husband but whoever it was went away. After that I could hear children
talking and playing normally and then my husband found me. I tried several times to ask him to open a
window or get me outside because that helped with the last attack (I don’t
know why). He could not understand what I was saying as the words were
not coming out right. I still could not get up or move,
but once the patio door was opened I felt a bit more normal. Suddenly I
began to shake and shiver violently all over my body. This lasted probably for about 10 minutes
I am told. After that I gradually got back to normal but felt exceedingly
drained and still unwell for a further day or so. I also had
concentration and memory loss. I had previously had an identical attack
when I had visited my bank after sitting in a car on a TETRA line of emissions
for a few minutes when my husband was trying to park and had to wait for
another car to move. In both cases the other technology I walked into
after being zapped by TETRA was Wi-Fi. Had my husband not been with me, bank
staff would have called an ambulance and I could have had a second zapping from
a TETRA handset! If I had been taken to hospital what would they have diagnosed
my symptoms to be, I wonder? July 02 I had a really bad weekend and I am
definitely sensitised again. Hopefully time will heal me again unless Wi-Fi has
been added in this area. I had the thought that we
need to think carefully about the effects of mixing/double zapping technologies
if we are alone or out in public. Hopefully it will not happen, but if we
prepare for the worst then at least we have a safety net in place. I have
sent for a Wi-Fi detector. Has anyone come across a red blood cell de-clumper,
please?? Sandi, I just
sent this to half a dozen Guardian editors, their email addresses are on
media lens website. Do circulate it if you wish, I can't be arsed as my
dirty-mouthed son says. Cruel and
unfair comment in your paper Dear Alan
Rusbridger, Cards on the
table, I have a clear interest. I am the director of the only registered
charity to support and help electrosensitives, 400 now. Our other
registered aim is“to advance the education of the general public in all
areas relating to electrosensitivity”. Yes, this letter goes on too long,
but we have powerful feelings to vent. In this
capacity we entered in good faith into a dialogue with your Badscience
columnist Dr Ben Goldacre, sending scientific reports and personal cases
anticipating an objective and scientific, even typically Guardian response. One
with some ‘liberal’ leanings towards understanding the context of the
powerless, and indeed sick individual, up against powerful gung ho corporations
and a modernising government licensing this technology for huge rewards (£25
billions for one round) . We work in a very hostile environment with
distortions of ‘the science’, so hoped for fairness. Far from it, he
selects only studies which suit his orientation, ignores the contributions of
Dr George Carlo, the medical specialist and man who supervised the 25 million
dollar US Cellphone Safety Research and who has spoken in the House of Commons
on this subject. I suppose
if you have read this far you think I have a case of ‘Sour Grapes’. Well on that
front I only ask for a fair hearing, for your readers benefit too. Ben G is
usually right about the quacks and health solution peddlers, we tell him so,
but we are different, there is a great deal of scientific evidence on our
side of this debate, else why would Sir William Stewart speak out on Panorama
(21.5.07) and set up a new Health Protection Agency committee to “help
develop suitable precautionary advice for the general public regarding exposure
to electromagnetic fields” (press release HPA 27.04.06). Our chief
scientific advisor Alasdair Philips sits on that committee, but Ben G
excoriates his credentials and has gloried in publicising a powerful personal animus
against him, repeatedly, and in your columns. He never once mentioned Sir
William when commenting on the Panorama programme but attacked Alasdair, who
also sits on a DoH committee, SAGE, is senior science advisor and Conference
Organiser to ‘Children with Leukaemia’ and can stick up for himself, so
enough of that. But such ad hominem attacks are an abuse of your columns
and readership we feel, and have been subtly extended to myself and ES-UK as
deliberate self-interested deceivers of vulnerable ill people. That is
low, even vile. Worse. Unable to
refute, even with one-sided science, the reality of people with the
electrosensitive condition, Ben G has withdrawn into a defensive corner dancing
on his scientific pin where he grants, with hollowly effusive but genuinely
patronising, condescension, that “the symptoms are real but sufferers of
them are deluded as to their cause being ‘electrosmog’”. I paraphrase a
little, not much, ask him. Our members who
encounter this in your paper are really hurt, wounded at this dismissal of
their rational and sensible capabilities. This denial of their powers of
comprehension and common-sense damages other aspects of their lives,
relationships, work, confidence etc. It is injurious, iniquitous even,
insulting and de-humanising; they repeatedly tell me so. It is an untenable
absurdity which does not reflect compassion, as he has dared to claim, but is
cruelly arrogant, he goes so far as to suggest we as ES-UK in representing them
are instead corrupting and misleading them, preventing their chances of proper
diagnosis and treatment of whatever is ‘really’ ailing them. Other science
and technology journalists on your paper seem to congregate without exception
around this position, Dr James Randerson for instance. So your newspaper’s line
is now far and away the most dismissive of our case we have to deal with. Quite
outside your long-standing factual traditions which have had me reading it for
over forty years. Geoff Lean on the Independent has reported sympathetically on
our situation as has the Mail and The Times on WiFi in schools especially, and
the Telegraph’s Nic Fleming is always scrupulously fair. Please if you
feel it worth your time have a look at the correspondence in the BMJ website at
http://www.bmj. A readers response
would be something, I was invited, wrote one and then was disallowed. If you really
have time I enclose a sample case below, one sent to Ben G but never ever
referred to. Yours sincerely Rod Read ElectroSensitivity- Trustees:

some of the emails bouncing around between yourselves, Rod Read and Alasdair
Philips, I thought I might add my two penny worth. Your arguments on the
face of it are very sound but I think lacking some Common Sense and certainly
lacking any serious investigation into the subject. Over ten years ago Dr
George Carlo discovered while working for the cell phone industry that
microwaves damaged cells, damaged DNA and damaged the blood brain
barrier. He carried out the experiments on cell cultures and repeated
them on rats. That’s when the cell phone industry pulled the plug on his
research. What did the media say about this? Almost no
comments. Why? The first serious investigation into wireless
technology and the industry gets away with stopping the research when it tells
it something it didn’t want to know. A dozen years later, we
finally get around to repeating these experiments officially and what do we
find. Exactly the same (The Reflex Project sponsored by the EU at
Universities in Berlin, Vienna, Stuk, Bologna, Milan, Hanover). Microwaves
are damaging cells in cultures. What does the cell phone industry say to
these experiments? 1.
It’s only in ‘cell’ cultures! So it doesn’t mean anything. 2.
No ‘people’ are affected. Now this is when it
requires some Common Sense. Experimentation is showing we have a
problem. Damaging cells. The industry and the scientists have been
saying for years this is not possible. Common Sense – the
scientists are Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. What is the consequence for this
science if they are wrong? There are thousands if
not millions of people across all the countries that have developed wireless
technology that are now becoming electrically hypersensitive. Common Sense. Damage being done to cells and people becoming ES. Maybe
there is a connection. This ES condition has only been around for 20/30
years, approximately the length of time that wireless technology has been
around. I work in the food
industry. Approximately one year ago a food scandal hit the headlines, Sudan
1 in ready meals. The company I work for had to throw £1/4 M of ready
meals away because a scientist had shown that rats eating tons of Sudan 1
developed cancer. Common Sense. Microwaves, at many times less than the legal limit are
destroying cells in rats. The mobile phone industry says it’s not a
problem. Guardian agrees not a problem. Sudan 1 damages rats at
thousands of times above the permitted level. Problem.
Recall all the product. Headlines in newspapers - Ready Meals cause
cancer alert. If I as a food
manufacturer had used the argument that the mobile phone industry had used, I
think that I would have hit the headlines. If I had refused to destroy
stock with Sudan 1 in it, what would you have thought of me? What would
your headlines have said? Why are you applying double standards for the
mobile phone industry? Why do ‘you’ let them get away with their
deceit? Might ‘you’ be being influenced, like the Government, without
even realising it, that they spend a lot of money with you? Common Sense Multiple Schlerosis. Chronic fatigue syndrome. Fibromyalgia. Multiple Chemical
Sensitivity. Light Sensitivity. Hyper Acusis. Pea Nut Allergy. All started off
according to our medical and scientific community being psychosomatic. They
were wrong, wrong, wrong. Common Sense You could write a book
on all the things that human beings can be sensitive to. Pollen,
chemicals, medicines, light, dark, pea nuts. This list is almost endless. So, pea nuts can kill us
but the one thing that no one can be sensitive to, is putting microwaves to
your head for 20 years. This does not even sound logical. All these things devised
by god or nature can kill you but microwaves devised by man, at these
extraordinary levels, can’t do you any harm????? Isn’t that what they
said about Radiation, X Rays, and Pylons? Do you not have any
Common Sense? Newspapers have been the
scourge of establishment. Forcing scientists to admit the truth about
food scares, BSE, Global Warming, the ‘cover ups’, you know better than me, are
too numerous to mention. But microwaves to the head, and all these people
having their lives ruined, no cover up. Whiter than white, all these
people are deluded. Mass hysteria. FACT I used a mobile phone
for 15 years. 14 years not a problem, no issues. 15th
year. Severe pain in my head and ear, only when I put the mobile to my
head. Why is my pain, psychosomatic? Put the phone to my
head. Instant pain, take it away and pain goes away. Problem.
What is happening??? This can’t happen! Although I cut down on
using my mobile I did not stop completely. Why, good question. I
was assured by all it was only temporary and like a fool I believed the
scientists, the medics, the media. Then, one day putting
the mobile to my head an explosion in my ear. So much pain I could not
bear the mobile to my head. This can’t happen! Thereafter, the
weird experience I had over the twelve months earlier using a mobile phone, I
started to experience in front of my computer, in front of my TV and in my car. This developed over time
to an ordinary phone, video, washing machine, dish washer etc. Whatever
damage the mobile phones/microwaves, can do had been done to me. When you become
hypersensitive to something, it is not confusing, it is not a case of I don’t
feel well, I wonder what it is, can it be my microwave!!! Its use a phone
for 5 minutes – pain in ear and head. Don’t use the phone – no
pain. Use the phone – pain. Don’t use the phone – no pain. After
you have done this experiment on yourself a few hundred times, it becomes more
than a coincidence. I have been studying ES for 5 years. Every
hour, of every day, of every month for 5 years. Believe me it is not
confusing. Wishing to prove my
condition I signed up for the tests at Kings College and had to pull out when I
found what they wanted to do to me. I did suggest a less invasive way of
proving this but was ignored. Last year I signed up for the test at Essex
University and attended the first of three sessions to prove this
condition. I ignored my cynicism because the questionnaire seemed to be
only concerned with my financial state and levels of stress. I ignored
the fact that the people were psychologists, not scientists. I ignored
the fact that they couldn’t tell me the level of strength of the mast. I
ignored the fact that they had not consulted anyone ES when devising the tests
and I went ahead with the first one hour session. THE RESULT I have been made
permanently worse; I had to pull out of the remaining tests. Although
double blind I knew that the mast was on. How, I bled internally for two
weeks. That is what happens to me when I get too close to a mast for too
long. Bleeding internally, can this be psychosomatic I ask myself. Perhaps
my gut has decided to join in on this misinformation. Maybe my gut is in
league with my brain in deluding me. I went to my doctor when I first
bled. He referred me to a Specialist. The Specialist was very
chatting and friendly until I told him why I was bleeding. I then became
the enemy. A lunatic. I had a barium enema and a
colonoscopy. All clear. When I asked therefore
why I could be bleeding (I was bleeding before and after the investigation) I
was told by the Specialist in a very aggressive voice “THERE IS NO REASON WHY
YOU SHOULD BE BLEEDING”. He didn’t want to see my stool, didn’t want to
check the most obvious way of telling if I was being truthful or not. End
of Examination, Go Home! That is what it is like
being ES. The tests have been devised so that the people who are best
able to prove this condition are precluded. People find it inconvenient
to be more thorough. Don’t ask the obvious questions, simply dismiss it
and trust the scientists investigating this, sponsored by the mobile phone
industry. No reason to be concerned. In theory, this should
not happen. If damaged by a drug, I
don’t think the drug industry saying we didn’t do any research into this drug
because in theory it should be safe, would be good enough. The mobile phone
industry gets away with it. They are not required to do any safety
research because the NRPB (HPA) are responsible for this and of course they are
totally independent and impartial like the newspaper industry. Who do not
want to rock the boat. When I challenge
scientists, politicians, health industry, NRPB, Media, that this is not
difficult to prove I can prove it. They change the subject. I
could go on for hours but why bother. Sadly, you and your
family have to become affected to rock the boat. I hope you have the good
grace to apologise in a few years time when your collective incompetence
results in millions of people being affected because that is what will happen. Correction,
this is what is happening while you don’t use your common sense or investigate
this seriously. If the research is
correct, that it causes geno-toxin effects, single and double stranded DNA
breaks, damage to chromosomes and reductions in melatonin, how will this be
detected in humans when doctors, specialists, scientists etc refuse to examine
us seriously. The best any ES person has had is a two minute examination
and the assurances we are perfectly OK. If these things are
happening, what symptoms are we allowed to have? Please advise me. What
symptoms am I allowed to have if I am suffering from the above!!! Meanwhile, incidents of
brain tumours, mouth tumours, ear tumours, eye tumours, once very rare, are all
suddenly appearing and increasing. Probably psychosomatic. Wake up.” Brian Stein 17.5.06 ElectroSensitivity-UK (registered
