My heart jumped after reading this article , a scientific paper on the effects of wireless signal and cell phones. I landed on the link not expecting it to have anything to do me or my morgellons, just clicked on it because I have seen headlines a few times questioning wether or not cell phones and cell phone towers were a health hazard or if they may be causing brain tumors. I am shocked to read this:
"Effects of electromagnetic fields on the immune
system
An ever-increasing number of studies has clearly shown
various biological and medical effects at the cellular level
due to electromagnetic fields, including power–frequency,
radiofrequency and microwaves. Such fields are present in
everyday life, at the workplace, in homes and places of
leisure.
5.1. The functional impairment electrohypersensitivity
(EHS)
One of the first observations of a direct effect on the
immune system was the finding in the 1980s of persons with
the functional impairment electrohypersensitivity (EHS),
namely those who claim to suffer from subjective and
objective skin- and mucosa-related symptoms, such as itch,
smarting, pain, heat sensation, redness, papules, pustles, etc.,
after exposure to visual display terminals (VDTs), mobile
phones, DECT telephones,WiFi equipments, as well as other
electromagnetic devices. Frequently, symptoms from internal
organ systems, such as the heart and the central nervous
system, are also encountered [13].
with EHS experience[glow=red,2,300] facial skin symptoms (sensory
sensations of the facial skin including: burning, Stinging, itching,
erythema, rosacea), eye irritation, [/glow]
impaired sense of smell, hoarse dry throat, coughing,
sense of pressure in ear(s), tinnitus, fatigue, headache, “heaviness”
in the head, sleeplessness, nausea/dizziness, cardiac
symptoms and difficulties in concentrating. In the Cox [14]
report on electrical hypersensitivity in the United Kingdom,
mobile phone users’ symptoms included headaches (85%),
dizziness (27%), fatigue (24%), nausea (15%), itching (15%),
redness (9%), burning (61%), and cognitive problems (42%).
For those individuals reporting EHS symptoms in the UK
population, the percentage of persons with symptoms from
cell phone masts was 18%, DECT cordless phones (36%),
landline phones (6%), VDTs (27%), television (12%) and
fluorescent lights (18%).
