If you type "Internet addiction" into Google, you'll find over 29 million sites. "Cell phone addiction" results in four and a half million sites. Frequently now, I read about teenagers and children who become violent when their Internet privileges are taken away. I read statements from physicians who liken Internet addiction to heroin addiction.
Lots of folks just don't feel well after they get Wi-Fi or a new mobile device or their utility installs smart meters or a cell tower goes up nearby. They don't sleep. They develop headaches and memory problems, eye strain, nausea and strange rashes. Plenty of European and Russian studies since the 1960s associate these symptoms and many more with exposure to radiofrequency radiation from military radar and now mobile devices, cell towers, Wi-Fi and smart meters.
As for wildlife, a Spanish biologist studied a common frog habitat 140 meters from a cell tower. He placed metal screens--shields--around some frogs. Two months later, these shielded frogs had a mortality of 4.2%. The unshielded frogs had a mortality of 90%.
In a German study, 65% of bee colonies abandoned their hives after nearby cell towers went live. GMOs, pesticides and monocultures likely also play roles in bee colony collapse. But ill bees typically die in or near their hives. In this study--as with most cases of bee colony collapse--no ill bees were found.
To navigate, bees use cryptochromes, magnetically sensitive genes in their eyes, that can sense the Earth's electromagnetic energy fields. Exposure to EMR emitted by cell towers disrupts cryptochrome-based navigation.
Consider insurance underwriters' assessment of man-made EMR: A.M. Best and Lloyds of London advise insurance companies not to ensure against damages to health caused by wireless devices. Swiss RE rates exposure to man-made electromagnetic fields higher than any other emerging risk, including fracking, GMOs and the re-emergence of asbestos.
In 1996, the year that Congress passed the Telecommunications Act, and a year after Congress stopped funding the EPA to study EMR exposure's effects on our health and environment, Gary Olhoeft was diagnosed with Parkinson's. This neurodegenerative disease associated with several likely causes, including exposure to pesticides like those Roy Olhoeft sprayed in the family's yard, and solvents like gasoline, which Gary used to wash his hands.
For 13 years, to contain symptoms, Gary took pharmaceuticals. Eventually, the medicines' side effects created more problems than the Parkinson's. He considered getting a deep brain stimulator--a DBS. He was especially concerned about how other electronics might interfere with such a medical implant, but he knew of no better alternative.
