Do You Have Microwave, Cell & WiFi Sickness?
http://omega. twoday.net/ stories/3277817/
Paul Raymond Doyon

Many people have a hard time fathoming that something that they
cannot see, touch, smell, taste or hear - sense with the five
senses - can harm them so much. But if people did really know the
facts regarding the dangers of cell phones and WiFi and the masts
that emit a pervasive level of microwave radiation, would they still
be willing to use them? Would they still be willing to allow
the antennas to be built in vicinity of their homes, work places,
schools, and hospitals?

Dr. George Carlo, who used to run a multi-million dollar research
program for the cell phone industry and went public regarding the
dangers posed by cell phones, uses the analogy of putting a frog in
water. If you put a frog in boiling water, it will jump out.
However, if you put a frog in cold water and gradually heat the
water, you can cook the frog because the frog's body will adjust
to the slight changes in temperature and it will not notice it is
being cooked. Well, the same thing might be happening to an
unsuspecting public - a public that has not been informed about the
real dangers of microwave radiation from cell phones, WiFi and other
high-frequency- radiation emitting devices and antennas.

The truth of the matter, your cell phone and your WiFi might very
well indeed be making you and those around you sick! Please read on!

1.Symptoms known to be caused by exposure to microwave radiation:
insomnia and other sleep disturbances, headaches, swollen lymph
nodes, depression, anxiety, loss of appetite, hypoxia (lack of
oxygen getting to your tissues), inability to concentrate,
forgetfulness, dizziness, irritability, nausea, hyperactivity,
fatigue, vision problems, dry eyes, eye inflammation, weakened
immune system, allergies, frequent urination, night sweats, extreme
thirst, etc. These symptoms very often suddenly appear in people who
have had a cell phone tower installed nearby their home.

2. Microwave exposure induces Oxidative Damage leading to depletion
of the body's natural store of antioxidants like Super Oxide
Dimutase (SOD), Catalase, Glutathione, CoQ10, and Melatonin. When
the body becomes depleted in antioxidants, premature aging,
increased infections, and sticky blood are just a few of
the consequences. With a depressed level of antioxidants in the
blood, for example, high-density lipoproteins (HDL) or the good
cholesterol will bind with free radicals (oxidants) turning the good
cholesterol into bad cholesterol or low-density lipoproteins (LDL).
This leads to more viscous blood which in turn can lead to blood
clots leading to strokes and even heart attacks.

3. Microwaves have been known to effect an abnormal influx of
calcium into cells. When there is an abnormal influx of calcium into
mast cells, for example, they produce histamine. This is just one of
the ways in which microwave exposure has been known to trigger or
aggravate allergic reactions.

4. Microwave exposure has been known to induce mitochondria
dysfunction. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell.
Dysfunctional mitochondria will interfere with the cells' ability to
produce energy and can be linked to fatigue and possibly even
obesity.

5. Microwaves have been shown to depolarize the body's red blood
cells. This will cause the red blood cells to clump together and
when this happens, the amount of oxygen getting to the brain cells
and the cells of the body's other organs is diminished substantially
leading to hypoxia. This can cause symptoms similar to altitude
sickness: nausea, dizziness, inability to concentrate, and so on.

6. Microwave exposure has been shown in studies to induce a decrease
in the numbers of Natural Killer (NK) cells, a form of white blood
cell which is the body's first line of defense against pathogens.
This leads to the body's weakened ability to recover from viral and
other types of infections. Therefore, people exposed to microwave
radiation would take longer than normal to recover from your day-to-
day infections.

7. Exposure to long-term microwave radiation has been shown to
change a particular form of white blood cell (lymphocyte) ratio -
known as the T-helper/T-suppress or (T4/T8) cell ratio - from normal
to abnormal. Abnormalities in this T-lymphocyte ratio have been
shown to lead to an increased susceptibility to viral, fungal, and
bacterial infections. Symptoms include sore throats, low-grade
fevers, weakness, persistent fatigue, and swollen lymph glands.

8. In fact, research has shown that exposure to microwaves and other
electromagnetic radiation has been shown to increase viruses,
bacteria, mold, parasites, and yeast in the blood of the human host.

9. Microwave exposure has been shown in studies to induce what is
known as "subliminal" stress ( since the body does not know it is
being stressed) causing the adrenal glands to excrete an abnormally
greater amount of cortisol and adrenaline. Excretion of adrenaline,
for one, can lead to irritability and a feeling of hyperactivity -
the latter now very common in children with Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In a continuous state this will
eventually lead to adrenal exhaustion, in which the adrenal glands
just stop working.

10. Microwave exposure has been shown to cause a decrease of 5-HT in
the blood. 5-HT is a precursor to the production of the brain
hormone serotonin. Low levels of serotonin have been linked to
anxiety and depression. An increase in anxiety and depression can in
turn be linked to to an increase in the number of suicides.

11. Microwave exposure has been shown to induce a decrease in levels
of the brain hormone norepinephrine. This hormone is essential for
control of the autonomic nervous system, and lack of it can lead to
autonomic nervous system disorders. For example, if the autonomic
nervous system is not working properly, the body will have trouble
regulating its temperature - i.e. cooling itself when it is warm and
heating itself when it is cold. This could lead to feeling
colder than one would normally when it is cold and feeling warmer
than one would normally when it is warm. An abnormal decrease in
norepinephrine levels has also been connected to short-term memory
disturbances and depression.

12. Production of the brain hormone melatonin has also been shown to
be altered by exposure to microwaves. This brain hormone and
antioxidant is necessary for proper sleep. 42 million (approximately
one in five) Americans now take sleep medication for insomnia while
others often experience sleep disturbances due to exposure to
electromagnetic radiation (EMR). A drop in melatonin levels
has also been connected with increases in breast cancer.

13. A drop in the levels of the brain hormone, dopamine, has also
been shown to be connected with microwave radiation exposure. A drop
in dopamine levels have been linked with depression.

14. Exposure to electromagnetic radiation has been shown to effect
an abnormal drop in the levels of the neurotransmitter
acetylcholine. A drop in the levels of this neurotransmitter has
been linked to a number of neurological and neuromuscular disorders -
including Alzheimer's disease.

15. Some electromagnetic frequencies have been shown to induce
restlessness and hence may very well also be responsible for a
syndrome called restless leg syndrome (RLS).

16. Electromagnetic fields- like those emitted by cell phones - have
been shown to alter regional cerebral blood flow. In conditions like
autism and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) it has been shown via
SPECT (Single Proton Emission Computed Tomography) scans that there
is a decreased flow of blood to the brain.

17. Numerous studies have connected microwave and other
electromagnetic radiation exposure to an increase in allergies.
Microwave exposure has been shown to turn on mast cells to produce
more histamine - the chemical responsible for allergic reactions -
and other electromagnetic fields have been shown to actually
increase the number of mast cells in the body. Microwaves have also
been found to increase Immunoglobulin antibodies in the body.
Immunoglobulin antibodies are responsible for triggering an allergic
reaction to a particular substance or protein. Many researchers and
scientists were - and still are - puzzled by the fact that the East
German population had so few allergies in comparison to the West
German population when the two countries unified. But what they
failed to examine is the simple fact that East Germany had much
stricter regulations regarding ambient radiation levels than West
Germany. Since East Germany adopted West Germany's standards,
allergies in former East Germany have since reached par with the
levels of former West Germany.

18. Microwave exposure has also been shown to adversely affect the
heart and could very well be linked to heart irregularities and
responsible for triggering heart attacks.

19. Exposure to microwave radiation has also been shown to effect an
abnormal increase in nitric oxide (NO). One theory holds that an
abnormal increase in cellular calcium will also lead to an abnormal
increase in cellular NO, which in excess produces a damage-producing
free radical or oxidant called peroxynitrite.

20. Microwave exposure has been shown to open the blood brain
barrier (BBB). The BBB protects the brain from foreign substances
like viruses, bacteria, and chemical toxins in the blood which may
injure the brain. Thus, exposure to microwave radiation could very
well open people up to viral and bacterial infections of the brain
which they would not normally get otherwise.

21. There has been a drastic increase in brain tumors and other
cancers - not to mention diseases such as autism, ADHD, Chronic
Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome, and Alzheimer's - with the
advent of the cell phone. Especially, after 1984 (the year the first
cellular phone networks were set up in most major cities in the USA)
there was a notable jump in children's brain tumors according to the
National Cancer Institute (NCI). Brain tumors are now the number two
cause of death in children followed by leukemia. Just last year
seven people in Melbourne at RMIT University working in a building
on the top two floors underneath a cell phone mast suddenly were
diagnosed with brain tumors. There has also continuously been an
exponential increase in autism since the advent and increase in
numbers worldwide of the cell phone.

22. There have been numerous confirmed cases of deformities in
animals and plants near cell phone towers. Now, in heavily
electropolluted Japan it is very common for women to have
miscarriages in their last trimester of pregnancy. Usually, the
fetus is deformed. Cell-phone use has also recently been shown to
lower sperm count in men the longer they use the phone ( e.g. one
hour as opposed to four hours).

The cell phone industry makes 100s of billions of dollars in profits
every year. They have the money and the power to influence
politicians, the media, and even the research. Unethical researchers
receive mass funding from this industry and are pressured to tell
you it's safe while the researchers who inform us of its dangers
have consistently had their funding cut. Over 6000 German doctors
have signed "The Friedburger Appeal" after recognizing a connection
between many of the symptoms listed above and exposure to microwave
radiation and other EMR and after the German government has failed
to act to protect its citizenry. The only way the cell phone
industry gets its power is because consumers pay them their money.
They have created an imaginary need or addiction. But if you heed
the information above, then you will realize that you do not need
this "unnecessary evil" - or rather you need it like you need a
brain tumor. As a consumer you have the power to affect change.
Hence, you are either part of the problem or part of the solution!
You can decide. You have a choice - that is - unless you are
Unconscious!

P.S. The cell phone industry has been buying up the patents on
inventions that help protect cell phone users from the harmful
radiation emitted by cell phones. Unfortunately, it is a catch-22
situation for them since if they use them, they are hence admitting
what they have been denying all along - that cell phones are
actually dangerous. This would open them up to a plethora of
possible lawsuits. Either way, the consumer loses.

Some people have asked me for the resourses for my short article "Do
You Have Microwave Sickness?" Most of them can be found below. If it
is not below then I am sure that one can find what they need by
doing a google search.

Exercise has been shown to increase the production of oxidants.
Fortunately, regular endurance exercise results in adaptations in
the skeletal muscle antioxidant capacity, which protects myocytes
(muscle cells) against the deleterious effects of oxidants and
prevents extensive cellular damage (McCully et al.
1996; Powers et al. 1999).

[Various psychological parameters in subjects occupationally exposed
to radiofrequencies] [Article in Italian] Antoniazzi D, Vittadini G,
Pugliese F, Rubini V, Biazzi L.

Because of increasing interest for electromagnetic fields biological
effects we examined possible effects on behaviour produced by
prolonged exposition to radiofrequencies on some wood industry
workers. The results of psychological tests seem to prove a
significant difference between exposed and control groups
in the answers concerning social relations and anxiety. However
these results have to be confirmed by other and more complete
studies.
