"When we first figured out what was wrong, we were relieved," Jordan's mother Karen recalls. "At last we had an answer. But then we thought about what it means—it's like being allergic to society."
"It is really a life-altering issue that adds an entirely new dimension to almost every decision Jordan makes," Karen says.
There is evidence for robust interactions of weak ELF magnetic fields with biological systems. Quite apart from the difficulties attending a proper physical basis for such interactions, an equally daunting question asks why these should even occur, given the apparent lack of comparable signals in the long-term electromagnetic environment. We suggest that the biological basis is likely to be found in the weak (50 nT) daily swing in the geomagnetic field that results from the solar tidal force on free electrons in the upper atmosphere, a remarkably constant effect exactly in phase with the solar diurnal change. Because this magnetic change is locked into the solar-derived everyday diurnal response in living things, one can argue that it acts as a surrogate for the solar variation, and therefore plays a role in chronobiological processes. This implies that weak magnetic field interactions may have a chronodisruptive basis, homologous to the more familiar effects on the biological clock arising from sleep deprivation, phase-shift employment and light at night. It is conceivable that the widespread sensitivity of biological systems to weak ELF magnetic fields is vestigially derived from this diurnal geomagnetic effect.
http://communities.washingtontimes.com - Technological development of wireless communication has brought an unprecedented increase in human, animal and plant exposure to microwave radiation.
Currently available biomedical research indicates that even at the low levels permitted by the safety standards, radiation exposures induce acute biological effects. The possible impact of the chronic exposures is not known beyond, at the most, the first 10-15 years. We do not have the faintest idea what will happen when exposures will last for a lifetime.
timeslive.co.za - Zakhele Gininda has nowhere to hide. Moving to a remote farm in rural KwaZulu-Natal would keep him away from his family and diminish his prospects of a stable income.
Hiding out in his brother's Durban home is not a long-term solution either.
"I have no hope," the 44-year-old said, covering his ears.
Gininda has been to several doctors throughout the country but still has no explanation why his face feels as if it's on fire, his head aches, his throat becomes dry, his ears buzz and his heart races when he is near cellphones and in Wi-Fi hotspots.
EMR Policy Institute (nieuwsbericht) - July 18, 2013, the Israeli Supreme Court ordered the Israeli Government to investigate how many children in Israel already suffer from EHS [electrohypersensitivity].
The Order was issued in response to a Petition to the Israeli Supreme Court to ban WiFi in schools that was submitted in August, 2012.
"The BBC covered the impact of electromagnetic radiation, wi-fi, and mobile phones on health and the prevalence of electrosensitivity (ES) or electrohypersensitivity (EHS). The program features former electronics expert and now EMF Refugee, Phil Inkley. ES-UK Trustees, Professor Denis Henshaw, and medical doctor Andrew Tresidder help viewers understand aspects of EHS--the possible source of problems including headaches, tinnitus, sleeplessness, and heart rhythm variability."
Het stadje Greenbank in West Virginia kent een toestroom van elektrogevoelige vluchtelingen. Greenbank bevindt zich in de 'US National Radio Quiet Zone' waarin alle vormen van telecommunicatie verboden zijn. In deze zone bevindt zich namelijk een ultragevoelige radiotelescoop die zwakke straling opvangt uit het heelal. De ontvangst van de telescoop mag niet gestoord worden door straling van bijvoorbeeld gsm-masten, microgolfovens en WiFi-zenders.
