The very Real Dangers of School Wi-Fi to yor Children.

[FriedSheep]

Since the proliferation of Wi-Fi in 2006, I have developed a severe form of real physical electro-sensitivity diagnosed by the NHS. However, the NHS does not fund treatment for this condition. You can see a photograph of the inflammatory effects of electro-sensitivity upon me in my profile.

Leading scientific experts in electro-sensitivity such as Dr Barrie Trower, Prof Olle Johansson and Dr Andrew Goldsworthy have warned the public of the health hazards to the population, in particular of the hazards to children, posed by wireless and microwave radiation.

Wireless radiation and microwaves are not only identified as a class 2b carcinogen but these forms of radiation are linked to numerous diseases. Research has found that foetuses exposed to radiation from mobile phones in the womb are born with less brain cells than foetuses who are not exposed to this radiation.

In addition to this, both Dr Trower and Prof Johansson have warned that these forms of radiation are linked to infertility and that children exposed to it now will sustain injuries to their ovaries and testicles which will raise the incident of birth deformities in their children and their children's children.

The International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection has stated that certain groups of the population such as the elderly, those with chronic health conditions and children may well be sensitive to wireless and microwave radiation. Therefore, it is the legal responsibility of individuals such as head teachers to set wireless radiation in schools at a level below what is accepted as safe. How many head teachers have done this?

In addition to this, the ICNIRP states that if any child in a school sustains an injury, such as damage to her ovaries, from wireless radiation then it is the head teacher who is culpable in law for this and not the communication industry. This is because the ICNIRP warned of the dangers of wireless and microwave radiation to children.

This is also why insurance companies are now refusing to insure clients in the event of prosecution for injuries caused by wireless and microwave radiation. Still skeptical? Then ask Apple and facebook why they have offered to freeze the eggs of their female employees? Are they anticipating lawsuits?

Those links are not peer reviewed academic evidence, they are YouTube videos. You may have other conditions but the one in your op has not been proven to exist. Do you think you may suffer from anxiety?

'In 2004, Ollie Johansson was awarded the "Misleader of the Year" award by the Swedish Skeptics Society. Here is a quote from the award citation: "Olle Johansson receives the award as one of the most prominent representatives of the far too many scientists who, to draw attention to themselves and funding for their own activities, disseminate worry among the public in mass media by presenting unsubstantiated hypotheses as established facts. According to VoF, Johansson's own research pertaining to electromagnetic fields is of low quality.'

The post is not all YouTube videos. Research papers are listed in it. The WHO's International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation itself also state that children and some elderly and/ or chronically sick will be sensitive to what is considered to be safe levels of non-ionizing radiation for healthy adults.

But our physiology produces these hormones naturally and do not cause symptoms of radiation poisoning.

OP, with kindness, focus on the other potential causes of your discomfort both physical and mental, you'll feel better for it

I'm not using Wi-Fi.

Badders123, the link between M.E. and multiple chemical sensitivity is very well documented.

No, treaclesoda, this is my first post to mumsnet.

I think the round up of the thread so far is;

You believe to be/have been diagnosed with electro sensitivity via the NHS
You have been diagnosed with ME
You have posted wishing to inform others about the dangers of wifi
No one has agreed with you yet

I think it's fair to say we all wish you well but we think you are wrong regarding the wifi

Ah
The breakspear!
Say no more....
Enjoy your homeopathy and very expensive urine

Debunks the concept of multiple chemical sensitivity

PleasantPhesant, can I correct you if I may. An NHS consultant has provided written evidence, which I have a copy of, to confirm that I have real physical multiple chemical sensitivity and real physical electro-sensitivity. My GP concurs with this diagnosis.

I think some of the harsher posters might be kinder to bear in mind the OP may be mentally unwell tbh. I don't like saying that but well.

Ok. I'm happy to agree to disagree fried. I can see we're not going to agree. Best wishes regarding your health.

OP if your posts are not a bunch of lies, then indeed you have been unfortunate. However the dangers of Electro Magnetic Fields are covered in the EU's EMF Directive which doesn't appear to take your hysterical approach.

Good luck Op

Are you Saul Goodman's brother?

So are you using wifi to connect to Mumsnet? Maybe that's your problem

Why is this focussed on schools?

Most people have wifi at home nowerdays. Just walking 50m down my road my phone will pick up maybe 7 different wifi signals.

That's life.

How much scientific evidence is required for people to stop asserting that there is no evidence of harm caused to living organisms by microwave radiation? Here are 5000 scientific studies, just to get you started - that is, if you are open minded enough to look at the science. www.justproveit.net/studiesPlease also be aware that because someone is communicating via the internet, it does not follow that they are using WiFi. Using Ethernet cable enables use of the internet without exposure to microwave radiation.

Sorry - there should have been a gap between the www.justproveit.net/studies link and the word "please"!

Karuna I googled the first few studies in that long list you linked to. I could not find some of them as they aren't published and of the ones I did find the results of the studies showed no link or harm. Giving a long list of studies with scary sounding titles but not linking to them or advising what the actual results of those studies are is so utterly misleading it suggests no credibility at all to the claims made on that site.

There is no doubt much that we don't know about all sorts of things and I am sorry that you are ill, OP, whatever your diagnosis or root cause of your illness is

However, while there are cars and global warming and terrorist threats and poor diet and lack of exercise and childhood obesity and on-line bullying and STIs and any number of other things a potential threat to my children, I really do not see radiation that surrounds us as a comparable threat.
The world is filled with radiation on all sorts of frequencies, and always has been.

What are you looking for from this thread?
Genuine question.

InfinityPlusOne - I'm sorry if that list of studies was not immediately useful or convincing. Perhaps this list will be more fruitful: www.emfanalysis.com/research/
