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

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?

Reference my name Wink. Someone's been watching a bit too much Better Call Saul. I do enjoy a good Netflix series and Mumsnet seems you do to

OP

Perhaps you could delete all the personal identifying information in your letter from the Immunologist at St Georges and post a copy of it?

Because I'm willing to bet an awful lot that either they are a Quack who also happens to be employed by the NHS, or that the letter does not say what you claim it does, given your unique spin on the "research" you linked to.

I was expecting to find a website called "digital disconnect" which echoed the concepts outlined in the post from the user of the same name at 14:51 but the only results of a quick Google were a lot of results pointing at this book which appears to be expounding on the theme that the Web gives so much easy access between credulous people and the malevolent people who which to exploit them that it is threatening our entire civilisation. I wonder if there is a chapter on the huge increase is psychosomatic illnesses since people started using Dr Google?

I think the OP has left us now to try a more receptive audience instead!

ICNIRP do recognise Thermal Heating the following video shows them discussing it.
But…did one of the speaker liken it to the effects of watching an adult film!

Rather than being shocked, I immediately thought, how does a baby in a cot combat this 1 degree rise? It cannot turn, it cannot take any clothes off, it cannot reach for water. How does it cool to combat this rise? How does this affect a baby over 8 hours in a cot in the same position?
So many questions.

Some people focus on the guidelines for work, say in hospital setting. For which I am sure they are adequate and easy apply. In the home this technology is growing so fast and it is not so easy.

Are the 'general' guidelines still suitable for say when we have 30 pupils on a metal bus downloading data at the same time? A 3yr old in nursery with in a class of 20 all on a lap top?

All who have children are willing for someone to come up and say it is low level and safe technology, no matter how powerful it gets (I guess this technology will get more powerful in future output?).

Watching the video, ICNIRP are bringing up good discussions but at the end of it they set the same guidelines as before. I am also finding it hard to see why our government is not giving even the minimal of health advice in relation to children in regards to mobile phone when so many neurosurgeons advise safer use.

Maryland, US has opted for safer schools, so I think people are accepting that we go cautious and hard wire and download where we can.

But you are right I do not know understand the technical details of mobile telecommunications. I would like to be convinced it is safe. But my questions would be how the low safe level may have an accumulative effect over years. Is it possible that I can pm you for more details?

Maryland State Children’s Environmental Health and Protection Advisory Council Recommendations To Reduce Wi-Fi

“Children’s environmental health experts respond to new US study linking wireless radiation to cancer after the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends reducing cell phone exposures”

ehtrust.org/maryland-state-childrens-environmental-health-protection-advisory-council-recommendations-reduce-wi-fi

peukpokicuzo: The propensity for hypochondriacs to inappropriately self-diagnose with reference to search engines and the like is not to be ignored, certainly. Nor too, however, is the plight of those succumbing to the effects of chronic exposure to anthropogenic pollution repeatedly shown to induce adverse physiological effects

Molliekat19: You are entirely right to question the sensible application/extension of existing guidelines. As the forthcoming documentary film Generation Zapped points out, in line with your own rhetorical question, classrooms choc full of wireless tech are cause for concern

Institutional guidelines are woefully inadequate, however, and many public buildings, including most hospitals, have become toxic places as a result (and intolerable for people with ES/EHS i.e. paradoxically and perversely liable to make health matters worse for them, by default)

The following chart provides a flavour for the wide variety of regulatory benchmarks out there (very few of them informed by meaningful analysis of contemporary biophysical/medical data):

www.wirelesstechsafety.com/international-standards.htm

For a clue, or two, as to why Western establishments, and their proxies, have historically been reluctant to engage with certain inconvenient truths (by no means limited to this issue), consider the scale and vested special interests of related industries

The UK wireless industry employs hundreds of thousands of people, brings in tens of billions to the economy each year, and requires massive, fairly long term investment and planning. All of this against a backdrop of public debt running at over 90% of GDP

Consider also, the market capitalisation of directly and indirectly linked companies, and the ownership of their stocks not just by private individuals of varying personal wealth, power, and influence but by public (and pension) institutions: many pension funds are already shaky as it is

Corruption/extortion and economic hard headedness aside, there’s also the question of recklessness and (in some cases deeply) compromised public institutions/experts (e.g. Iraq War and the 'dodgy dossier') and apathy/neglect (e.g. Flint, Michegan)

Plainly, it would be extremely naive to assume that political actors will always act in the best interests of the people and without hesitation; hence, the rise of anti-elite populism

Spot on, DigitalDisconnect Thanks. The Trailer was a little scary and overwhelming. The interview at with the film maker is informative and highlights ways emmission can be reduced, as we will never give up completely. They mention a low emissions wi fi router at 35:09min which sounds something that I would consider.
Stick with the interview it is long!
We can choose not to listen but at least we can become informed to make a choice. Otherwise the standard uniform may have to become as was it MistressMerryWeather posted
