Electro-Smog

Electricity has only been used domestically for about 100 years and in great quantities since the 1950’s. This has triggered a condition known as ‘Electro-Sensitivity’ (ES). ES sufferers experience adverse effects at power levels below those thought to have biological effect. Symptoms include headaches, tiredness, depression, epilepsy, behaviour changes in children, skin complaints and possibly cancer. Most at risk of ES are children, pregnant women and convalescents.

DECT cordless phones have the same technology as mobile phones and emit pulses of microwave radiation. Locate away from beds and preferred sitting areas.

• Sleep disorders

• Headaches
• Depression, mood changes, including anger and crying
• Irritability
• Stress and anxiety attacks, feeling out of control
• Fatigue, a feeling of being drained of energy
• Burning sensation and sweating

• Susceptibility to infections

Nobody knows the full extent of what we might encounter over the next 20 years, but it is interesting to look at the information we do have at the moment

• In the 1980’s hardly anyone had a mobile.
• In the 1990’s very few people had a digital mobile phone.
• Also mobile phones were fairly expensive to use.
• Then in 2000 the prices started to fall and the availability of mobiles began to increase.
• In 2001 picture phones became popular.
• In 2003 further changes came with 3G which caused prices to fall and provided kids with the right package.
• In 2005 Sir William Stewart in his government report on mobile technology said that anyone under 16 should only use a mobile in an emergency and he stopped his grandchildren from using them altogether!
• These days everyone over the age of 10 seems to have a mobile phone permanently attached to their ear.
• In recent years, records show that incidences of inner ear brain tumour and eye cancer’s is rocketing.

• 20 years ago there were a few thousand low powered analogue masts.
• Today digital mobile phone masts are everywhere.
• More of us are investing in microwave phone (DECT) know as Digital Electronic Cordless Telephone.
• Most of our workplaces and schools have installed DECT and wireless computer networks.

• The effects of exposure to Electro-smog are cumulative. If you are exposed but then move to an Electro-smog free area you get better.
• It is difficult to avoid Electro-smog and it will get worse before it gets any better.
• Many scientists believe that the increase in UK cancer is due to Electro-smog.
• We are only seeing the effects of the first fifteen years of Electro-smog – think about the next five or ten years and what may be in store for us if nothing is done.

Your home can be checked for Electro-Smog hot spots. Emissions from electric and microwave radiation both inside and outside your home will be checked with specialist meters. The most important areas to check are where you spend most of your time such as sitting watching TV or your sleeping areas.

Advice will be given on how to practice ‘prudent avoidance’ and possible solutions recommended.
