Would you say that children with autism whose health improves after their EMR exposure is decreased have EHS?
Would you call someone who uses a cell phone for up to ten years (without sensing a problem), then gets a brain tumor "sensitive?" Would you consider them "sensitive" before or after the diagnosis? http://www.electronicsilentspring.com/gonzales/
I know of a child (age 9) who developed high blood pressure after the schools upgraded its Wi-Fi. A doctor prescribed beta blockers for this child. Would you call this kid "sensitive?" As a first measure, would you suggest returning to wired-Internet connections? Would you first try a nutritional approach? Or just keep to beta blockers so that Wi-Fi can continue?
Let's also consider people with medical implants--i.e. cardiac pacemakers, insulin pumps, deep brain stimulators, etc. According to NIH, in 2000, 8-10% of the population had a medical implant. These devices can malfunction or even shut off because of electronic interference with signals from another electronic device. For example, proximity to a "smart" transmitting utility meter can shut off a cardiac pacemaker. If a person with a deep brain stimulator (implanted for Parkinson's) gets into a Prius or another car with lots of computers, the magnetic fields emitted by the car's braking system can shut off their implant at every stop.
The remedy in such situations? Avoid and prevent electronic interference as much as possible.
Would you call wildlife "sensitive" to EMR? Consider bee colonies that have collapsed after cell towers go live near their habitats. Reputable scientists report that if pesticides, GMOs, the Varoa mite or harsh winters had caused the collapses, we'd see weak or ill bees. But after the cell towers go live, the colonies simply disappear. To my mind, keeping cell towers live thereby risks more bee colony collapses. It shows that we prefer wireless technologies to bee colonies.
If a living creature is not "sensitive" to EMR exposure, are they "insensitive?"
In the past 150 years, our species has nearly saturated our environment with frequency fields and amplitudes that do not exist in nature. Every living creature is affected.
What do I want? I'd vote for anyone concerned about health (including doctors, parents, teachers and every one of us) asking, when headaches, insomnia, moodiness, nausea, tremors, memory issues, cancer, diabetes, addiction...or some other ailment shows up, Could this be related to EMR exposure? Could I reduce use of any of my electronics for two weeks and notice whether my ailment changes?
I'd welcome restoration of wired communications.
I'd welcome restoration of eye-to-eye contact, voice-to-voice communications, more engagement in activities that do not require electricity.
I'd welcome more discussion around the questions you've raised.
In an
environment saturated with man-made EMR, what
do we give our attention? What is health now? What encourages health in my
family? in my community? our ecosystem? Do we believe in First, doing no
harm ? If so, how do we practice it after realizing
that we've ravaged Mother Earth in order to manufacture and operate
technologies...that we believe we need to survive?
