Wireless Allergy Sufferers?

Posted August 29, 2009 7:29 AM

In England, a DJ is claiming that he suffers from Wi-Fi sensitivity, convinced that the signals have caused him a variety of health problems. And in Vancouver City, Canada, the mayor declared August Electromagnetic Sensitivity (EMS) Month. EMS is recognized in many countries as a chronic disease — with no cure — portraying symptoms of headaches, fatigue, weakness, and more. The mayor says that limiting exposure to cell phones, cell transmitters, and wireless technology can bring relief to sufferers. Are these cases psychosomatic or could wireless allergies be real?

I have noticed that as long as I am wearing my specially designed tin foil hat, yes it has to be tin as aluminum allows bad stuff to pass, my head is fine. But when I take it off I get these head aches and see visions, really scary visions, of a crazy person doing very bad things.

They're almost certainly psychosomatic (when not fraudulent) in that these kinds of things never seemed to occur when people were listening to radios in 'the good old days', etc. (i.e., when radio waves permeated the air, like they still do). Or when they turn on their car engines and there's sparking in their alternator. Or when they're sitting by the computer. Or when lightning strikes.

Etc., etc., etc.

Here's a cure for EMS ... Effexor. Or Prozac. Or many others ...

You guys remind me of all the chemists I know who handle stuff normally meant to be inside impermeable tankers. "It's just a little bit, won't hurt..." Jules

As I have suffered with this supposed imagined only problem for some time I can tell you I wish it was something I could just change my mind over and get relief from the constant pain and side effects.

What is not understood, as yet is that wireless, which is a form of microwave and gives off very mild heat, is being lived in by children, babies, elderly, ill and healthy adults 24 hours a day...and as more and more families are turning to the wireless broadband systems in their neigbourhoods they and their developing babies and children are living in this environment 24 hours a day also.

As more of their neighbours get wireless systems they are living in all of each other wireless systems as well. A block of 20 brand new apartments car park I chose to investigate with my lap top computer to see how many wireless systems I could pick up showed at least 16 all ranging from 50% to 95% and all of those families living in them would have no idea they where exposed to such an environment 24 hours a day. Even all the local beaches are not free of wireless bleed.

There is no research this early in the process to be able to predict the outcomes of such long-term exposure of this new modern system. We can only guess at what this is doing to us all over an extended period of time after the fact.

As for us older humans who have spent all of our lives living in and being poisoned by chemicals that only became wide spread in our lifetime. The mild symptoms of say dieldrin poisoning over 50 years on the intestine and digestive systems of a human body are now because of the exposure to wireless mimics the same mild heat in those same areas which respond as if they were still exposed to that poison.

There is only one part of my home that is wireless free as a very kind and caring neighbour chose to turn their wireless off for me. The other has chosen not to. My system gets a rest while I live in this part of my home but all the other time I go out I am exposed to it.

I can go now where else in the metropolitan area without being immersed in it at some level or not. All of this has happened to me in the past 2 years.

The amount of people my age who are now on permanent Cortisone or steroid treatment is outstanding to what the last generation had. If anyone would like to do that research to see where the increase in anti-inflammatory usage increases in a community you will find an increase and introduction of the wireless systems.

So be fore you laugh and poke fun at us sufferers please just remember the past things the professional scientific world dumped on us grassroots humans that we are still suffering over and dieing from…would you like me to list them?

From what I have personally experienced and what I am observing happening to many others around me wireless gets in and aggravates any existing or past inflammation area.

also are now living in many seperate wireless in increasing some cases which
