More 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 UK into its cause(s) and the reactions and symptoms that sufferers have to deal with without any relevant health authority to advise them.

 

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 “zapped†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/knowledge due to lack of monitoring and research. Read extracts of my notes below. It is just a diary of events since December 2002 and some of it may be slightly inaccurate or not using the correct terminology because I have been quite unwell at times.

 

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@aol.com.

 

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@hotmail.com

Website: www.electrosensitivity.org.uk

 

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 UK which runs on limited funding with some voluntary support.

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 UK but I guess we should wait until after the holiday recess.

 

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 US Embassy staff were subjected to in their Embassy in Moscow in the 1950s.

 

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/concentration lapses. My husband has disturbed sleep; nightmares; memory/concentration lapses; an aggressive and irritable attitude previously never present in his nature.  It is hell. Our relationship is under real pressure.

 

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 “nightmare†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/concentrating/coordinating mentally, emotionally and physically. I could not do simple things. I was doing silly things like putting articles in places I don't normally put them, or adding a tea bag to coffee instead of sugar. I sat for hours some days unable to motivate myself to do anything and had to try to talk myself out of it. I experienced the deepest of depressions which I also had to try to get myself out of. I kept experiencing the "fear/flight thing" and it was to my mind unreasonable, so I ignored it.

(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/remember/ think without confusion/get the gist of a whole email/article/or conversation, but a lot of the time it was dreadful.

 

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/concentrating etc but I have my feelings back. I feel now as if I was totally locked away then, in many ways.

 

 I have spoken to others who have described similar things - X in Bognor and Y in London, also Z in Leicester. All of them have said this after July 06 - after the TETRA at 20.26Hz pulse rate began to appear.

 

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 9.15 am! They must have also come from the Bognor area to the east as there were so many of them.

 

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/white

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.â€

 

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??

 

 

Rod Read ES-UK v Ben Goldacre

 

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.com/cgi/eletters/334/7606/1249#170160 or for real virulence from some of his acolytes his own website on www.badscience.net/ speaks for itself on this issue.

 

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

Originally an email to the Guardian newspaper, Dr Ben Goldacre ‘Badscience’ columnist. This is commonsense not ‘rocket science’.

 

“Sirs,

 

Having been copied in on 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.”
