Agency Admits EMFs Can Sicken You

EMFsFor the first time, the British Health Protection Agency (HPA) has acknowledged that nausea, headaches, and muscle pains are potential side effects of the electromagnetic fields of mobile phones and computer screens.

Electrosensitivity

Electrosensitivity, a heightened reaction to electrical energy, will be recognized as a physical impairment. The HPA has reviewed all scientific literature on the subject and concluded that it is a real syndrome. It had previously been dismissed as a psychological effect.

Many are believed to be affected to some extent by this syndrome. Symptoms can also include dizziness, irregular heartbeat, and loss of memory.

300,000 Swedish Sufferers

Britain will join Sweden in recognizing electrosensitivity as a problem. About 300,000 Swedish men and women are sufferers. Citizens there have received government assistance to retrofit their homes and offices with gas stoves and wall and window coverings designed to reduce exposure to these fields.

The acknowledgement may fuel legal action in Britain against mobile phone companies by those who suffer from the problem. There is particular concern about exposure to emissions from large mobile phone transmission stations, which are often located near schools or hospitals.




Dr. Mercola Dr. Mercola's Comments:

Although the media would have you believe that EMF radiation danger is controversial, there are many articles that I have posted that document the damage they can do to your health, particularly from cellular phone use and computer monitors.

Government agencies have debated the damage you can sustain from EMF exposure for a long time, but Sweden acknowledged this problem some five years ago, and now the UK has finally done the same.

On top of the electrosensitivity problem, there is evidence that EMFs from cell phones can cause:

However, the danger decreases exponentially the farther the cell phone is from your body. If you have a cell phone, I strongly recommend you use a headset or speaker phone, and keep the phone itself well away from your body.

I can tell you that I believe this danger to be real and am very delighted to have the new air cell phone headsets that we have just introduced. I always use it on my cell phone and will not talk without it. All my family members and the physicians in our clinic regularly use it to virtually eliminate the danger their cell phones pose to their health.

If you use a cell phone without the speaker phone feature, then this is simply a must. There is no excuse to not use this technology, which virtually eliminates all the dangers of using a cell phone.

Another possibility is attaching one of the ferrite beads I offer in my Web store to your regular headset; this can lower your exposure to radio frequency radiation (RFR). I actually use both of these options with my cell phone.
