Anyone here have cell phone and/or WiFi health issues?
I was able to use cell phones starting in the late 90s up until about 3.5 years ago. I was never a heavy user but was not bothered by them at that time.
Somewhere along the way, things happened. I got the Hep B series of vaccinations in '06 and my health has never been the same. On the day of the third and last of the Hep B, I came down with a mild fever and had aches all over. This was the beginning of my fibromyalgia. It wasn't long after that, I started to notice just tiny annoyances with cell phones. Then in the fall of '07, I would notice a distant and unique disturbance of some sort in the head when using a cell or cordless homephone. And then I noticed it while using a wireless laptop. But the thing is, these symptoms would go away soon after getting off of the devices. Now things are much different. If someone just turns on a cell phone even 15 feet away from me, and is only on it for a couple of minutes, I feel it not just when the phone is on, but for a good 18 hours or so. Heat in the head, heart spasm, strange sense of discomfort.
I found this forum while surfing through the old esens board. That place does not seem very active anymore.
I need solutions. I don't know why very little is being done for sufferers of electrical sensitivity or radio wave sickness. I mean, there are drugs out there for everything from dry eye to restless leg syndrome. And yet even though there are 50 million tinnitus victims in the US, never a word about it on CNN or NBC. Why?
I fear that there will not be any help in the near future for things like tinnitus or EMF issues. I've been trying vits and supplements for over 15 years now for various health concerns and nothing brings perfect health. But when I stopped the diet cokes, that made a big difference. Now I just need to get this gut healed from the Hep B vaccinations and I don't know how long that will take.

Anyone here have cell phone and/or WiFi health issues? Yes, and scanners, xrays, MRIs (magnetic) and so on.I was able to use cell phones starting in the late 90s up until about 3.5 years ago. I was never a heavy user but was not bothered by them at that time. Post ADRs, I react to bluetooth, burning skin, buzzing, and other sensations on the skin, as well as heart symptoms.Somewhere along the way, things happened. I got the Hep B series of vaccinations in '06 and my health has never been the same. Hum, this is so typical. There are hundreds on CFS/Fibro forums who also fell ill post vaccines. I believe that vaccines contributed largely to all my health issues, as well as ADRs from possibly FQ, other antiotics and mefloquine. See a brief health bio here: adr-centralreactiontomedications.blogspot.com/
Have you seen Professor Nicholson's vids and articles about the damage by vaccines. I contacted him, a while back. Its really not good news. The toxicity level from vaccines is multisystemic, and according to Prof Nicoholson, it also causes damage to ion channels. On the day of the third and last of the Hep B, I came down with a mild fever and had aches all over. This was the beginning of my fibromyalgia. Fibromylagia, yes, thats what they call ill health caused by toxins from vaccines for some of us.It wasn't long after that, I started to notice just tiny annoyances with cell phones. Then in the fall of '07, I would notice a distant and unique disturbance of some sort in the head when using a cell or cordless homephone. And then I noticed it while using a wireless laptop. But the thing is, these symptoms would go away soon after getting off of the devices. Now things are much different. If someone just turns on a cell phone even 15 feet away from me, and is only on it for a couple of minutes, I feel it not just when the phone is on, but for a good 18 hours or so. Heat in the head, heart spasm, strange sense of discomfort. Oh, you have heart spasms too? What do yours feel like? I have been posting about those heart spasms in the hope someone would come up with a solution.I found this forum while surfing through the old esens board. That place does not seem very active anymore. Yes, am member of Esens and EMFrefuge too.I need solutions. I don't know why very little is being done for sufferers of electrical sensitivity or radio wave sickness. I mean, there are drugs out there for everything from dry eye to restless leg syndrome. And yet even though there are 50 million tinnitus victims in the US, never a word about it on CNN or NBC. Why? Ha ha, would it not be greed and $$$$$?
Dr Haavas, Dr Johansson and several others have shown the toxicity of elektropollution to little avail. have you read and seen their vids? There is also evidence published on PubMed about EMF causing DNA damage.The solution is avoidance until you decide what approach you will take to deal with this. I keep raving about Medical Qi Qong, and Ayurvedic medicine (compounds such as Triphala which recently showed to alleviate radiation, published in PubMed), nothing else helped.
I had to stop the Ayurvedic compounds, being unable to metabolize, I had no choice but to try something non invasive and that works. For me, it was Medical Qi Qong, breathing works, and meditation, such as Bone Marrow, and another easy type of meditation/visuallzation, which can be practice, anywhere and anytime.
The Medical Qi Qong is working wonders. Recent blood test results show liver function to be optimal, kidney function test - normal, hypothyroid tests - normal, BNP for heart failure - improved, and more...
Please read a book written by Kenneth S Cohen, called "Qi Gong The Art and Science of Healing" It explains how it raises the Sodzyme, endorphines, DHEA, changes at cellular level, etc... Plenty of scientific research out there. I will post about it.
Its not placebo, (which is an area of dissent and contention). I was desperate, and neutral when I went to see the Qi Gong Grand Master. I had no knowledge of what it was, and how it worked. The difference was instant and visible.
The GM said it would take about a year, or more to regenerate good cells. Based on my own improvement and that of his other patients, including doctors with cancers, I am hopeful.
It does not work for everyone. The success rate is much higher than other modalities I looked at. Sustainable if Qi Qong is practice as well as lifestyle modification.
In anycase, I will continue, and have little doubt that it works.
If you choose Vits and Supps, or meds, which ones can actually alter dysfunction at cellular level? Everything is connected.
Another book worth reading which comes close to explaining disease state is Dr Jerry Tennant, "Healing is Voltage" Its very similar to what Medical Qi Qong is about. If the electromagnetic field in the body, and other elecrical pulses are dysfunctional, should these not be addressed?
I don't subscribe to everything Tennant writes about, nor do I subscribe to using modulators or Dr Clark's Zappers (these have helped many but worsened others). Dr Clark's zapper is being researched. Cutting edge medicine often discuss using infra red, electricity and lasers as means to cure, kill infectious pathogens and more. Yet, those very doctors such as Dr Clark, and the other who invented the Rife Machine were persecuted and hunted down. Ironic.
I fear that there will not be any help in the near future for things like tinnitus or EMF issues. I've been trying vits and supplements for over 15 years now for various health concerns and nothing brings perfect health. But when I stopped the diet cokes, that made a big difference. Now I just need to get this gut healed from the Hep B vaccinations and I don't know how long that will take. Which vits and supps have you tried so far? Are you taking any meds? Any scans, ionic xrays, MRIs during the last few years? Detox and how?
Don't give up, there are options out there....

Reading most recent articles, in particular those cited below, it shows how much intra-cellular damage EMF as causal. The article below mentions chromosomal aberrations causing DNA strand breaks, as well as INCREASING LEVEL OF FREE RADICALS. NB. several other studies have shown strong evidence of the what is mentioned below about 20 years ago or more!! Read the research about Triphala in Radiation thread, it seems to help. READ ON: J Cell Biochem. 2004 Sep 1;93(1):83-92.Click here to read Links Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields as effectors of cellular responses in vitro: possible immune cell activation. Simkó M, Mattsson MO.
Division of Environmental Physiology, Institute of Cell Biology and Biosystems Technology, University of Rostock, Albert-Einstein-Strasse 3, D-18059 Rostock, Germany. myrtill.simko@biologie.uni-rostock.de
There is presently an intense discussion if electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure has consequences for human health. This include exposure to structures and appliances that emit in the extremely low frequency (ELF) range of the electromagnetic spectrum, as well as emission coming from communication devices using the radiofrequency part of the spectrum. Biological effects of such exposures have been noted frequently, although the implication for specific health effects is not that clear. The basic interaction mechanism(s) between such fields and living matter is unknown. Numerous hypotheses have been suggested, although none is convincingly supported by experimental data. Various cellular components, processes, and systems can be affected by EMF exposure. Since it is unlikely that EMF can induce DNA damage directly, most studies have examined EMF effects on the cell membrane level, general and specific gene expression, and signal transduction pathways. In addition, a large number of studies have been performed regarding cell proliferation, cell cycle regulation, cell differentiation, metabolism, and various physiological characteristics of cells. Although 50/60 Hz EMF do not directly lead to genotoxic effects, it is possible that certain cellular processes altered by exposure to EMF indirectly affect the structure of DNA causing strand breaks and other chromosomal aberrations. The aim of this article is to present a hypothesis of a possible initial cellular event affected by exposure to ELF EMF, an event which is compatible with the multitude of effects observed after exposure. Based on an extensive literature review, we suggest that ELF EMF exposure is able to perform such activation by means of increasing levels of free radicals. Such a general activation is compatible with the diverse nature of observed effects. Free radicals are intermediates in natural processes like mitochondrial metabolism and are also a key feature of phagocytosis. Free radical release is inducible by ionizing radiation or phorbol ester treatment, both leading to genomic instability. EMF might be a stimulus to induce an "activated state" of the cell such as phagocytosis, which then enhances the release of free radicals, in turn leading to genotoxic events. We envisage that EMF exposure can cause both acute and chronic effects that are mediated by increased free radical levels: (1) Direct activation of, for example macrophages (or other cells) by short-term exposure to EMF leads to phagocytosis (or other cell specific responses) and consequently, free radical production. This pathway may be utilized to positively influence certain aspects of the immune response, and could be useful for specific therapeutic applications. (2) EMF-induced macrophage (cell) activation includes direct stimulation of free radical production. (3) An increase in the lifetime of free radicals by EMF leads to persistently elevated free radical concentrations. In general, reactions in which radicals are involved become more frequent, increasing the possibility of DNA damage. (4) Long-term EMF exposure leads to a chronically increased level of free radicals, subsequently causing an inhibition of the effects of the pineal gland hormone melatonin. Taken together, these EMF induced reactions could lead to a higher incidence of DNA damage and therefore, to an increased risk of tumour development. While the effects on melatonin and the extension of the lifetime of radicals can explain the link between EMF exposure and the incidence of for example leukaemia, the two additional mechanisms described here specifically for mouse macrophages, can explain the possible correlation between immune cell system stimulation and EMF exposure.www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15352....ogdbfrom=pubmed

At long last, (regardless of the motive,which is probably political), EU leaders discuss banning WIFI and Cell phones at schools. Some forward thinking countries, in regards to EMF, implemented and no WIFI zone in libraries and some schools!! The second article discusses a G8 Meeting concerning so called digital intellectual property etc... hum, connecting the dots? I suspect the censorship will be stringent as the economies of the EU worsens with social unrest and rising crime. The latest buzz on EMF: Ban mobile phones and wireless networks in schools, say European leaders Mobile phones and computers with wireless internet connections pose a risk to human health and should be banned from schools, a powerful European body has ruled. www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/mobile-phones/8514380/Ban-mobile-phones-and-wireless-networks-in-schools-say-European-leaders.htmlG8 Meeting: www.accessnow.org/page/s/G8-Protect-the-Net

Hundreds and thousands of published research for more than 30 years show negative effects of EMF on physiology and health, yet, this is consistently denied by scientists on high tech firms's payroll. If I remember correctly, some states in the US have issued warning on cell phones, made it illegal for children under a certain to use cell phones, banned cell phones in some schools. The radiation cell phones emit are different from computers, blue tooth etc... Much to read. Some countries have banned Wi-Fi in schools, public libraries, other countries recognize EMF suffers as a disabling condition. The second study below is not an isolated occurrence. I know many people who developed palpitations from their cell phones. Others were suffering from constant headaches, salivary glands infections and other symptoms. Far too much trust in institutions telling us pesticides are "safe", chem trails are "safe" transgenic foods are "safe", medications are "safe" vaccines are "safe" and so on. Why do people continue to believe in governments that have consistently failed to protect us, whose priorities and interest lie with large corporations. Cancer and other diseases are on the rise, predicted that one in two will die of cancer, nothing to do with "genetics" lol, generation X showing signs of illnesses on the rise, and predicted to have a shorter life span. Generation of people in their forties now showing signs if disabilities and diseases earlier than the previous generations. Constant assault leading to disease states... Latest evidence from Sweden confirms risks of wireless phonesLennart Hardell’s group at University hospital, Orebro, Sweden, have been investigating the brain cancer risks of mobile phones since the late 1990s, and conducted several case-control studies in which cancer cases were compared with matched controls in terms of exposure to microwaves from mobile phones and more recently, also cordless phones. The group has consistently found that wireless phones increase the risks of brain tumours, both malignant and benign, especially on the side of the head where the mobile phone is used. The most persuasive results came from two large case-control studies on brain tumours assessing the use of mobile phones and cordless phones. These were done by a standardized questionnaire mailed out to people, and answered in total by 905 (90 percent) of cases with malignant brain tumours, 1 254 (88 percent) cases with benign tumours and 2 162 (89 percent) population-based matched controls. A pooled analysis of the data from these two studies confirmed the association of mobile and cordless phone use with brain tumours. The highest risk for both malignant and benign brain tumours was found for the same side of the head of those who have used wireless phones for more than 10 years. Significantly, the risks are several times greater for the youngest group: people who started to use mobile phones when they are less than 20 years old. www.i-sis.org.uk/Wireless_Phones_and_Brain_Cancer.phpTurk Kardiyol Dern Ars. 2010 Jul;38(5):352-4.

Symptoms are varied depending on the individual, and can mimic many diseases, although, all disease have one common denominator and that is inflammation regardless of the trigger, likewise, most diseases are caused by toxicities or nutritional deficiencies as is the general consensus by many doctors and scientists alike. (I agree with this). Previous posts show links to cancer and other disease process, including diabetes! Permission to copy and paste: Overloading of Towns and Cities with Radio Transmitters (Cellular Transmitter): a hazard for the human health and a disturbance of eco-ethics Karl Hecht, Elena N. Savoley IRCHET International Research Centre of Healthy and Ecological Technology Berlin - Germany 1. A Very Serious Warning 36 Years Ago "The electromagnetic radiations emanating for radar, television, communications systems, microwave ovens, industrial heat-treatment systems, medical diathermy units, and many other sources permeate the modern environment, both civilian and military." "Unless adequate monitoring and control based on a fundamental understanding of biological effects are instituted in the near future, in the decades ahead, man may enter an era of energy pollution of the environment comparable to the chemical pollution of today." "The consequences of undervaluing or misjudging the biological effects of long-term, low-level exposure could become a critical problem for the public health, especially if genetic effects are involved." These quotations are excerpts from the US government report "Program for Control of Electromagnetic Pollution of the Environment", which was published in December 1971. The government report was drafted starting in December 1968 by an expert group made up of nine people, "The Electromagnetic Radiation Management Advisory Council". "The President's Office of Telecommunications Policy" issued the order. This report was an urgent warning for the future. 2. Today (2007): Ignoring This Warning and Irresponsible Deception About 36 years have passed since the publishing of this report. Unfortunately, this urgent warning, which is scientifically well-founded, is currently not taken seriously. The beauty of landscapes and cities are spoiled with "forests of radiant radio antennas" in order to serve a new addiction of people: telecommunication. From this unethical, environment-disfiguring antenna forest, people are continuously bombarded by invisible, imperceptible, health-damaging, stressing, high-frequency, electromagnetic radiations. As predicted 36 years ago in the US government report, our planet today is more "contaminated" by "electronic smog" than with the chemistry that already heavily strains people. Those responsible have unfortunately still not considered a possible double strain of these two harmful factors. The telecommunications and microwave industry even contends that these high-frequency electromagnetic radiations are not harmful for people's health. That is irresponsible deception. Facts support the opposite. 3. Radio Wave or Microwave Sickness Known for 75 Years Seventy-five years ago in August 1932, the German doctor Erwin Schliephake published scientific data in the German Medical Weekly about radio transmitter-induced "microwave" or "radio wave sickness" with the following symptoms: severe tiredness and fatigue during the day, fitful sleep in the night, headaches to the point of intolerability, and high susceptibility to infection. These symptoms, which are also observed in neurasthenia (enervation), were not to be traced back to the thermal effects, but rather to the athermal effects of high-frequency 1electromagnetic radiation, according to Schliephake's view. The health-damaging effect of high-frequency electromagnetic and electric radiation was reproduced in thousands of investigations. This microwave sickness, induced by athermal high-frequency EMF radiation, was verified by the scientific work of the Russian author Zinaida Gordon from the Moscow Institute for Industrial Hygiene und Occupational Diseases, in 1966 in the Russian language and in 1970 in the English language, among many others. She examined more than 1,000 workers who worked at radio installations, electric utilities, radar stations, etc., over the duration of 10 years. She established the following symptoms: * daytime tiredness - neurovegetative disorders * loss of productiveness - neurosis * sleeplessness - depressions * headaches - hyperactivity and inner agitation * cardiovascular regulation changes of various types According to Prof. Gordon [1966], the symptoms strengthened with increasing duration of exposure, and sensitivity to the microwave radiations increased.Reports from Poland were presented by Baranski (1971, 1967, 1966) and Czereski et al. (1972, 1964) about: * microwave syndrome * lchromosome damage, and by Minecki [1967, 1965, 1964, 1963, 1961] * psychoneurovegetative disorders - chromosome damage * neurasthenia - embryonic development disorders after the chronic influence of weak high-frequency fields. Karel Marha, from the Institute for Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Diseases Prague (1968-1971), reported about analogous symptoms, like they had already been described by the others. He stressed, though, that the brain functions are especially sensitive to high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. In the USA from 1955 until 1969, eleven large conferences took place under the title "Microwaves - Their Biologic Effects and Damages to Health". The so-called Richmond Conference in 1969 presented such overwhelming facts that the above-mentioned government report had to be compiled. Besides the microwave symptoms mentioned, gastric bleeding, leukemia, chromosome breakages, cancer, and clouding of the eye lenses were also observed by doctors in the USA. Already in November 1958, the "Security Measures for Persons in the Range of Microwave Generators" was instituted by order of the Minister of the Soviet Public Health Service. 4. Eastern Threshold Value Around Three Orders of Magnitude Lower than Western Threshold Value. The threshold value was established at the value of 0.01 mW/cm2 for full-time contacts with high-frequency electromagnetic radiation, based on research results in Russia (the former Soviet Union). The threshold value was bindingly stipulated at 10.0 mW/cm2 in the USA at the 1955 conference at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. With the establishment of NATO, this threshold value became binding also for Western Europe. This difference of three orders of magnitude between the threshold value in the East and the threshold value in the West still exists today. In the East, electrical smog is taken more seriously. The annual report of the national Committee of Russia for non-ionizing radiation of the year 2002 addressed the following themes among others: * Emotional stress and EMFs" (electromagnetic fields) * Electromagnetic Fields and Cancer * The State of Health and Work Conditions of Workers in Civil Aviation Who Operate Radar, Navigation, and Communication Equipment * The Functional Brain Hemisphere Asymmetry Under the Influence of Magnetic Fields They adopted the following recommendations for the protection and safety from mobile telephone use: mobile telephones should not be used by children under 18 years old, pregnant women, patients with neurologic diseases, neurathenia, psychopathy, neurosis, sleep disorders, memory loss, or epilepsy syndrome. Basically, it is recommended to keep mobile phone conversations as short as possible and in no case to have a conversation longer than 15 minutes. 5. Research into the Findings in the Russian-Language Scientific Literature Shocked German Authorities Prof. Dr. Karl Hecht and his associate Hans-Ullrich Balzer were commissioned in 1996 by the German Federal Institute for Telecommunication to carry out research on the Russian technical literature about the health-damaging and biological effect of high-frequency electromagnetic radiations from the years 1960-1996. In 1997, the authors turned over the report, which was based on 878 scientific works, to the sponsor. The data was so overwhelming for the German conditions that the report immediately disappeared into the archive. 6. The Duration of the Effect of High-Frequency Electromagnetic Radiation - Decisive for Health Damage * First: Initial Phase In the first 1-3 years, predominantly a sympathicotonic deflected initial phase was predominantly demonstrated, which proceeded in three sub-phases: * First Subphase = Pronounced sympathicotonia (hypertonia) activation phase. This phase is comparable with the alarm phase of the general adaptation syndrome of Selye and with theunspecific activation according to Lindsley [1951], Lacey [1967], and others. * Second Subphase: Performance-promoting, increased sympathicotonic reaction phase in the sense of a eustress reaction or an emotional activation [Lindsley 1951]. According to Selye [1953], it is to be interpreted as a resistance phase. * Third Subphase: Adaptive, balancing phase with less sympathicotonic deflection. The body functions are still located in the range of homeostasis, so normal values are measured, although latent, intermittently appearing ailments may already express themselves. This phase, too, is still to be assigned to the resistance phase, according to Selye [1953]. * Second: Pre-Morbid or Early Phase of a Chronic Disease After 3-5 years of influence duration, weakly visible and/or strengthening pathologic developments of neurasthenic basic symptoms with vagotonic reaction tendencies, sleep disorders, and daytime tiredness appear. * Third: Exhaustion Syndrome Pronounced neurasthenic symptoms with increasing pathologic lapses of the regulation system, neurotic and neurasthenic symptoms, sleep disorders, daytime tiredness, and general exhaustion are dominating appearances. Effect duration > 5 years. Schema of the stages of illness development after long-term influence of EMF radiation Figure 1.Schema of the stages of illness development after long-term influence of EMF radiation in comparison with the stages (CD, ©, and ®) of the General Adaptation Syndrome according to Hans Selye [1953]. I = activation phase, A = activation (excitement), B = positive stimulation, C = adaptive phase; II = latent, weak pathologic development; III = strong pathologic development. Based of the findings of a literature review [Hecht und Balzer 1997]. 7. Essential Findings after Long-Term EMF EF Effect Objectively gathered findings: * neurasthenia, neurotic symptoms * EEG changes (decay of the alpha rhythm into the theta rhythm and isolated delta rhythm) * sleep disorders * deformation of the biologic rhythm hierarchy * disorder in the hypothalamohypophyseal adrenal cortex system * arterial hypotonia, more rarely arterial hypertonia, bradycardia, or tachycardia * vagotonic displacement of the cardiovascular system * resting tremor of the finger * hair loss * tinnitus * increased susceptibility to infection * hyperfunction of the thyroid * potency disorders * digestive function disorders * slowing down of the sensory motor System Subjective Complaints: * exhaustion, lack of energy * daytime tiredness * quick tiring under stress * constriction of physical and mental ability * concentration and memory decline * night sweats * spontaneously occurring excitability from hypotonic reaction situation, especially in the case of external pressures * cardiac pain, heart racing [Rubzowa 1983; Rakitin 1977; Drogitschina et al. 1966; Gordon 1966; Drogitschina und Sadtschikowa 1965, 1964; Piskunova und Abramowitsch-Poljakow 1961]. * weakness of concentration * headaches * lightheadedness 8. Factors That Can Influence the Development of an Illness through Athermal/Biologic, Non-Ionizing EMF Radiation Duration of Influence: At the earliest, pathological appearances appear after ca. 3 years; duration of influence > 20 min. daily, 5x per week has no pathological consequences. Age: Younger organisms show greater electromagnetic sensitivity than older ones; children especially must be protected. Individual State of Health Electromagnetic Sensitivity: decreasing healthiness increasingly raises electromagnetic sensitivity Status of the Elektrolyte/Mineral Balance: lack of minerals and toxic stress increases electromagnetic sensitivity Additional stressor effects, e.g. noise, other radiations, conflicts, and stress, increase the risk to come down with microwave syndrome. Active Ingredients and Medications: stimulants, e.g. caffeine, can increase electromagnetic sensitivity. 9. What Good Are Short-Term Research Projects? The research projects of today's cell phone, microwave, and telecommunication industry run for at most one year, very rarely two years. According to the state of knowledge shown, no harmful effect of the high-frequency electromagnetic radiation can be established at all. How the factor of the duration of influence is handled in these research projects should be explained with an example of a BUWAL study (BUWAL = Switzerland's Department of the Environment). The findings of a table of scientific works regarding the investigation of the duration of effect of high-frequency microwave radiations on various function systems or states of health, which one of us extracted and compiled from the tables of the BUWAL document, shows that among 129 analyzed scientific works or studies, an immediate effect (up to 1 h) was investigated in 44% of them. The duration of effect was tested for the short-term (up to three days) in 22.5% of them and for the middle-term (3-30 days) in 11% of them. Only 22.5% investigated the duration of effect of high-frequency microwaves longer than a month. It must be added that cardiovascular, hormone system, and immune system symptoms of radio-wave or microwave sickness are cited in the BUWAL documentation in the form of headaches, sleep disorders, general condition, EEG changes, and information processing, which the authors could not explain with their one-sided conceptions of the thermal effects of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. With such erroneous research approaches, of course no health-damaging effect can be found. Such research projects are also completely unnecessary, because the athermal, health-damaging effect of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation has been known for 75 years and has been confirmed again and again during this time in more than a thousand investigations, whenever serious principles of research were guaranteed. 10. The Following Definitions Are Cited For Better Understanding of the Effect of High-Frequency Electromagnetic Radiation on People and Corresponding Interpretations 10.1 Health Definitions Various views have existed about the term "health" for 60 years. Conventional medicine defines health as the exemption from organic, verifiable sicknesses. Such a definition does not correspond to the realities. The so-called "functional syndrome" or somatoform disorders (ICD 10F) are not accounted for in it. In the founding preamble of WHO, health is defined as follows: "Health is the condition of the complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not the exemption from sicknesses and ailments." In the Ottawa Charter of 1986, this definition was extended as follows: Health is to be understood "as a satisfactory measure of functional capability in physical, mental, social, and economic regards and the ability to take care of oneself until an old age" [WHO 1987]. 10.2 Bioactive Effect and Health Damage The terms health damage, bioactive effect, or bioactive reaction are frequently used without being sharply delimited from one another, thus leading to confusion. Therefore, a short definition for clarification: A bioactive effect is mostly an unspecific reaction of the organism to outside influences of various natures (physical, chemical, social, bacterial, viral). It must be differentiated: - if this reaction is temporary and the homeostasis (norm) recuperates through a reversible transient effect; that is an individual's normal adaptation reaction, or - if the changed reaction remained temporarily (e.g. several days) and then "normalized" again through a reversible transient effect. That would be equivalent to a health disorder in which the foreign influence was effective as a trigger, or - if the triggered changed reaction involves problems, losses of abilities to do things, and quality of life for the long-term and is not reversible. That is damage to one's health. Under health damage, we thus understand enduring or intermittent irreversible changes of the physical, mental, and social functional capability of the person, which can arise from noxious influence developed over the short-term or long-term, or also from intense, short-term influences (e.g. shock). (Noxa = pollutants, harmful agents, pathogenic causes) 11. Animals and Plants are Also in Danger Animals and plants are also very negatively influenced by this high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. In the case of cows, reduction of the milk yield and malformed offspring have been proven. Graver for humankind could be the death of bees observed everywhere due to the electro-smog contaminated environment. When the bees are dead, people not only have no more honey, but also no more fruit, because pollination of the flowers is impossible without bees. Humankind stands today before an important decision: further development of the technogenic pollution of the environment or finding our way back to Nature. Let us remember the report of the Club of Rome [1983] in which there is the following statement: "The pressure of the facts is so great that we must either change our way-of-life or disappear from the face of the Earth www.eirewaves.com/

There are thousands of published papers concerning elekropollution. Here is another one. Not having symptoms from EMF does not preclude from falling ill. Most don't make the connection!!! Avoidance is the key, minimize exposure. Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity: Evidence for a Novel Neurological Syndrome. Home » Latest PubMed Articles » The International journal of neuroscience » Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity: Evidence for a Novel Neurologi...Summary ABSTRACT Objective: We sought direct evidence that acute exposure to environmental-strength electromagnetic fields (EMFs) could induce somatic reactions (EMF hypersensitivity). Methods: The subject, a female physician self-diagnosed with EMF hypersensitivity, was exposed to an average (over the head) 60-Hz electric field of 300 V/m (comparable with typical environmental-strength EMFs) during controlled provocation and behavioral studies. Results: In a double-blinded EMF provocation procedure specifically designed to minimize unintentional sensory cues, the subject developed temporal pain, headache, muscle twitching, and skipped heartbeats within 100 s after initiation of EMF exposure (p < .05). The symptoms were caused primarily by field transitions (off-on, on-off) rather than the presence of the field, as assessed by comparing the frequency and severity of the effects of pulsed and continuous fields in relation to sham exposure. The subject had no conscious perception of the field as judged by her inability to report its presence more often than in the sham control. Discussion: The subject demonstrated statistically reliable somatic reactions in response to exposure to subliminal EMFs under conditions that reasonably excluded a causative role for psychological processes. Conclusion: EMF hypersensitivity can occur as a bona fide environmentally inducible neurological syndrome. www.bioportfolio.com/resources/pmarticle/225406/Electromagnetic-Hypersensitivity-Evidence-For-A-Novel-Neurological-Syndrome.html

One more study withg strong supporting evidence of low EMF transmission causing immune system dysfunction. Electromagn Biol Med. 2006;25(2):79-85. Suppression of natural killer cell activity on Candida stellatoidea by a 50 Hz magnetic field.Canseven AG, Seyhan N, Mirshahidi S, Imir T. Source Department of Biophysics, Gazi University Medical Faculty, Ankara, Turkey. canseven@gazi.edu.tr Abstract Exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) is ubiquitous for almost all individuals living in industrialized countries. Epidemiological and laboratory studies suggest that exposure to Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) EMF increase cancer risk. The immune system functions as one of the body's main protective mechanisms, and Natural Killer (NK) cells are a subset of lymphocytes that can destroy several types of tumor cells. In this study, we investigated, NK cell activity after exposure to a 50 Hertz (Hz), 2 mT magnetic field generated by a Helmholtz Coil. Nineteen male, 10-12 week old guinea pigs were used, and NK cytotoxic activity of splenocytes was measured in vitro by natural anticandidial colorimetric index. The Mann-Whitney U test was applied for statistical analysis. NK cell cytotoxic activity was decreased in exposed compared to controls. Our data suggests that part of the immune system, the NK cell, can be suppressed by a 50 Hz magnetic field. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16771296

Studies about RF spanning well over 30 years, and governmental health policies have not changed, favorising industries profit over health...Int J Radiat Biol. 2012 Feb 21. [Epub ahead of print] Single-strand DNA breaks in human hair root cells exposed to mobile phone radiation. Cam ST, Seyhan N. Abstract Abstract Purpose: To analyze the short term effects of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) exposure on genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of human hair root cells. Subjects and methods: Hair samples were collected from 8 healthy human subjects immediately before and after using a 900-MHz GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) mobile phone for 15 and 30 minutes. Single-strand DNA breaks of hair root cells from the samples were determined using the 'comet assay'. Results: The data showed that talking on a mobile phone for 15 or 30 minutes significantly increased (p< .05) single-strand DNA breaks in cells of hair roots close to the phone. Comparing the 15-min and 30-min data using the paired t-test also showed that significantly more damages resulted after 30 minutes than after 15 minutes of phone use. Conclusions: A short-term exposure (15 and 30 minutes) to RFR (900-MHz) from a mobile phone caused a significant increase in DNA single-strand breaks in human hair root cells located around the ear which is used for the phone calls. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22348707PMID: 22348707 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

An important study by Professor Johansson. Regardless if you have symptoms or not, Rf will affect everyone. Symptoms vary amongst RF sensitives. No wonder cancer rates have risen since 1950s exposure growing. There are no doubts of the biological effects of RFs. Prof Olle Johansson: ki.se/ki/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=21984&a=54583&l=enA theoretical model based upon mast cells and histamine to explain the recently proclaimed sensitivity to electric and/or magnetic fields in humans.Gangi S, Johansson O. Source Experimental Dermatology Unit, Department of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. Abstract The relationship between exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and human health is more and more in focus. This is mainly because of the rapid increasing use of such EMFs within our modern society. Exposure to EMFs has been linked to different cancer forms, e.g. leukemia, brain tumors, neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, asthma and allergy, and recently to the phenomena of 'electrosupersensitivity' and 'screen dermatitis'. There is an increasing number of reports about cutaneous problems as well as symptoms from internal organs, such as the heart, in people exposed to video display terminals (VDTs). These people suffer from subjective and objective skin and mucosa-related symptoms, such as itch, heat sensation, pain, erythema, papules and pustules. In severe cases, people can not, for instance, use VDTs or artificial light at all, or be close to mobile telephones. Mast cells (MCs), when activated, release a spectrum of mediators, among them histamine, which is involved in a variety of biological effects with clinical relevance, e.g. allergic hypersensitivity, itch, edema, local erythema and many types of dermatoses. From the results of recent studies, it is clear that EMFs affect the MC, and also the dendritic cell, population and may degranulate these cells. The release of inflammatory substances, such as histamine, from MCs in the skin results in a local erythema, edema and sensation of itch and pain, and the release of somatostatin from the dendritic cells may give rise to subjective sensations of on-going inflammation and sensitivity to ordinary light. These are, as mentioned, the common symptoms reported from patients suffering from 'electrosupersensitivity'/'screen dermatitis'. MCs are also present in the heart tissue and their localization is of particular relevance to their function. Data from studies made on interactions of EMFs with the cardiac function have demonstrated that highly interesting changes are present in the heart after exposure to EMFs. One could speculate that the cardiac MCs are responsible for these changes due to degranulation after exposure to EMFs. However, it is still not known how, and through which mechanisms, all these different cells are affected by EMFs. In this article, we present a theoretical model, based upon observations on EMFs and their cellular effects, to explain the proclaimed sensitivity to electric and/or magnetic fields in humans. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10859662?dopt=AbstractPlus

I read an article the other day about IT workers in India suffering multi symptoms, falling ill due to EMF exposure. The article below is easy to read, about the damage it does to mitochondria etc.. PERMISSION GRANTED TO POST The importance of being informed regarding chronic, prolonged EMF/EMR (electromagnetic radiation/electromagnetic fields) exposures, particularly nighttime exposures, can not be over-emphasized. Sleeping with an electric clock on a nightstand or the headboard of one's bed, or sleeping close to the powerwall (inside wall opposite electric or gas meter), can significantly lower immune function, which may predispose persons to every health problem from poor sleep to cancer. Electric currents and pulsating magnetic fields are known to disrupt cell signaling which may be linked to autism, Alzheimers and other neurodegenerative disorders. Children (and others) are suffering and even dying due to health problems that can, in many cases, be greatly reduced by simply providing distance between beds and electric appliances -- numerous types, including electric and gas meters, some telephone equipment, transformer boxes for cordless phones, electronic games, cell phones, etc. Security alarms, carbon monixide detectors, intercoms, monitors, small fans, touchlamps, lamps with dimmer switches, aquarium pumps and heaters, noise machines, air purifiers, electric blankets, heating pads, heated mattress pads are some other items that should not be close to persons all night long. Even too much light in a room, including leaving a TV set on all night may disrupt sleep and therefor, "circadian rhythm" which, in turn, may trigger symptoms due to electromagnetic pollution. The wall of the room adjacent to bedroom wall should be checked for refrigerators, microwave oven clocks, stoves with clocks, computers, TV's and more. Electric items close to beds -- particularly distances closer than 3 ft. induce currents on metal bedframes, metal mattress springs and metal headboards. Some of the symptoms being reported as ES/EHS (electrosensitivity/electrohypersensitivity) -- which I prefer to call "EMF/EMR-related toxicity," are poor quality sleep or inability to sleep, asthma, sinus infections, ear infections, headaches, depression, difficulty concentrating, memory problems and learning disorders, behavioral problems, muscle aches and pains, fatigue, lack of energy, irritability, heartburn/reflux problems -- literally, any symptom. Many persons are reporting these symptoms and diseases including heart problems, M.S., Type II diabetes, various cancers and more as being related to close proximity to cellular antennae, radio towers and high voltage transmission lines. Brain tumors, malignant and benign, are being linked to heavy cell phone usage. There is an urgent need for scientific focus on studies re "close, chronic, prolonged, low level EMF/EMR exposures -- particularly at night -- in order to begin to establish possible safe distances or at least "recommended distances......" High frequencies on electrical wiring in homes and schools as well as grounding problems are other issues requiring urgent attention. Filters and remediation measures re grounding are being reported as helping to reduce some health problems. The mitochondria are the principal energy source of the cell. Chronic, prolonged EMF/EMR exposure, particularly at night, appears to be be a "primary adverse event" that interferes with restoration of one's circadian rhythm partly due to resultant increase in cortisol levels (stress), reduced oxygen to the cells and reduced production of Melatonin (necessary for healthy, restorative sleep as well as youthful energy levels and delaying the aging process itself). EMF/EMR-related toxicity also promotes chronic, extracellular and intracellular inflammation that is indicative of aging, and is known to be a precursor of precancerous changes. Two of our infant/toddler grandsons (cousins) were diagnosed with "rare immune deficiencies" -- low IgG subclasses 1 and 3 -- only a definition, hypogammaglobulinemia -- "no name" for their rare disease(s). I discovered both boys' beds were close to electric meters (powerwalls) -- adjacent to location of electric meters in their respective homes. The boys "got well" after replacing waterbeds with regular beds and placing their beds against different walls. We were told the boys may develop Leukemia, Lymphoma, stomach or colon cancers. I later learned the reason the boys' immune deficiencies were rare is because that combination of low IGG subclasses applies to adults. This means the boys' cells were aging! See: www.feb.se/EMF-L/EMFL-3-98.html Hughes Institute/Dr. Fatih Uckun. - ".....conclusive evidence that inside cells, electromagnetic fields can activate certain signaling pathways that have been associated with cancer....." www.cogreslab.co.uk/cog_chall.asp - "Coghill's Challenge" -- to the electric power utilities and the National Radiological Protection Board (UK) www.guineapigsrus.org/

Look up other studies consistently showing low level exposure over time will cause health damage. Electromagnetic Fields and Leakage of the Blood Brain Barrier: Dr. Leif Salford Posted on June 18, 2012 stopsmartmetersirvine.com/2012/06/18/electromagnetic-fields-and-leakage-of-the-blood-brain-barrier-dr-leif-salford/ The following video is a presentation of Dr. Leif Salford, neurosurgeon and researcher, discussing his animal studies on radio frequency radiation and its effects on the brain. **Dr. Salford,** writes Arthur Firstenberg in his paper Silent Wireless Spring, ** exposed over 1600 experimental animals to low level microwave radiation. Their results were consistent and worrisome: microwave radiation. . ..caused the blood-brain barrier . . .to leak.** (It was repeated in 2003 on 32 additional animals; they waited this time 8 weeks before *sacrificing them*–and found **up to two percent of the neurons in all areas of the brain were shrunken and degenerated.** Dr. Salford, says Firstenberg, called the **potential implications *terrifying* ** An argument is sometimes made (not necessarily accurately) to those who express concern about radiation from *smart* meters, Wi Fi, etc, that the radiation emitted from these devices is at such a low level that the public needn*t worry about it. However Dr. Salford*s studies showed opening up of the blood brain barrier from very low levels of radiation. In fact, Cindy Sage and Dr. David Carpenter write in a 2008 paper (Public Health Implications of Wireless Technologies www.ntia.doc.gov/legacy/broadbandgrants/comments/6E05.pdf ) it was **the weakest exposure level [which] showed the greatest effect in opening up the BBB [blood brain barrier].**

Documented symptoms and research show sufferers from radio frequencies report about 4000 various symptoms. These will vary as will effects such anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, allergies, nose bleeds, seizures, memory loss, arythmias and other cardiac issues, hypglyemic attacks, hypothyroidism, diabetes, cancers and so on. The article below discusses neurophysiological effects of RFs., and please note, that low level RFs are considered as health hazards. The article is long, informative, worth skimming over. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1807758/?tool=pubmedFor easier read, a blog by activist and sufferer, Paul Doyon, latest updates and vids. prd34.blogspot.co.uk/I do not use wi-fi, or any blue tooth technology, no TV, no high tech gadgets, there is a small fridge and small freezer in the kitchen. The electricity is turned off as often as poss. A few weeks ago, severe symptoms worsening/cropped up. I knocked on the apartment next to mine. I asked my neighbor if she had WI-FI. She laughed it off... I went to the City last week. I started developing strong symptoms. When I arrived to my destination, I was so weak, I couldn't stand up. I was collapsing, literally. Two days later I asked a friend to check the area. It was found that G4 was switched on in the area of the City I was visiting!! As a rule, I prefer to document symptoms, and look for possible triggers and exclude, afterwards, rather than reading on possible triggers beforehand. The purpose is to find out the culprit rather than conjecture. Obvious triggers are tingling, burning skin when on the laptop, or using a blue tooth phone. Sometimes, the reaction is immediate. Other times, its more insidious. I borrowed a canopy, to be used about the bed. Its made of bamboo and silver. I had no expectations. Since, using the canopy, I sleep better than I have for over 15 years. Its been four days underneath the canopy, and already, its made huge difference to sleep pattern. I will keep a diary of other symptoms, and fluctuations. The canopy is very expensive, I am looking at cheaper options. Meanwhile, its possible to ground yourself, by walking barefeet on the grass, ground, sand, take showers and baths, or simply buy a mat, or, put on a silver bracelet, connect with an earthing connection. Out the small crocodile clip on to the bracelet and put plug in socket, switched OFF. AVOID and find out the legalities of smart meters. The next post will include a talk from an attorney who explains clearly YOUR RIGHTS. Be aware, and practice AVOIDANCE.

In spite of high profile governmental officials falling sick personalities falling very ill due to exposure from RFs, scientists and research showing it causes damage to DNA strands leading to inflammation and various illnesses, telecommunications companies continue to exercise political muscle driven by greed.
A small town in Olvera, Cadiz Spain was to become the first free elctropollution zone, unanimous agreement by villagers and the municipality.
This was over ruled by central governmental officials!!
Meanwhile, more people in France, the EU, the USA, India, worldwide are complaining of severe symptoms from various RFs.
The government in India is taking precautionary measures to protect its population by looking at implementing regulations to ensure minimal exposure of RFs to it population.
Sadly, few will avoid exposure at home an work, fewer will bother reading up on accumulation of low radio frequencies on health.

Comment: symptoms variability amongst individuals, same as with exposure to other toxicities. Likewise, its possible to have no symptoms, and still suffer diverse physiological damage, which will show up eventually. Neurosurgeon Shows How Low Levels of Radiation Such As Wi-Fi, Smart Meters And Cell Phones Cause The Blood Brain Barrier To Leak Neurosurgeon and researcher Dr. Leif Salford has conducted many studies on radio frequency radiation and its effects on the brain. Dr. Salford called the potential implications of some of his research "terrifying." Some of the most concerning conclusions result from the fact that the weakest exposure levels to wireless radiation caused the greatest effect in causing the blood brain barrier to leak. Since he began his line of research in 1988, Dr. Leif Salford and his colleagues at Lund University Hospital in Sweden has exposed over 1,600 experimental animals to low-level radiation. Their results were consistent and worrisome: radiation, including that from cell phones, caused the blood-brain barrier--the brain's first line of defense against infections and toxic chemicals--to leak. Dr. Devra Davis, author of "Disconnect" explains the science of cell phone radiation in a very comprehensive way. For example she shows photos of two cells, one whose DNA has been damaged by "gamma" radiation (which is what was emitted in Hiroshima) and another cell damaged by low level pulsing non ionizing radiation (from a cell phone). Both cells look very damaged compared to a normal cell; but she even goes on to say the DNA from the cell exposed to the cell phone radiation looks worse. She also discusses the campaign to discredit reputable scientists and their studies--some of these reputable studies having been around since 1972 (Frey). In May of 2011, the World Health Organization official recognized that wireless radiation such as emitted by "smart meters" is a possible carcinogen. After decades of corporately-funded, biased research being held up as "industry-standard", there are hundreds of independent peer-reviewed scientific studies now showing there is a clear health hazard with technology emitting wireless radiation in the range that "smart meters" do. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people with a "smart meter" installed, have contracted illness, insomnia, rashes, headaches, and worse. And many have been forced to leave their homes entirely, due to health effects. What's more, in apartment buildings where 30+ "smart meters" are installed in a single electrical room, the dangers are even higher. There have been no long-term health studies done on this high level of Electromagnetic Radiation. PBS Interview with Dr. Keith Black (neurosurgeon) regarding WHO's classification of RF Elecctromagnetic radiation as a 2b possible carcinogen. "We haven't had any good studies in the pediatric population. A child's skull is much thinner. . . .and the amount of radiation that goes into the pediatric brain is much higher than in an adult. So we should be cautious with how we allow our children to use a cell phone. They're going to be the ones that not only are going to use it at a much younger age but at a much longer duration."

Worth a read!!! A Unified Theory of Weak Magnetic Field Action McGill University Professor Proposes Radical New Outlook Share on facebook Share on linkedin Share on twitter Share on email September 27, 2012 Paul Héroux has a problem. He believes he has identified a way to control the growth of cancer cells, but he can't get his ideas into print. "We think we have the Rosetta Stone that will allow us to unravel the intricacies of cancer physiology," says Héroux, a professor at McGill University in Montreal. Yet, one scientific journal after another has refused to publish what he has found. Part of Héroux's problem is that his argument is based on an even more controversial proposition than a possible cure for cancer: That extremely weak magnetic fields can bring about major changes in DNA. That is a tough sell. Héroux ups the ante another notch by claiming to show that those changes are so easy to spot that you don't need hi-tech instruments to see them, just a standard issue microscope. All you have to do is count chromosomes, admittedly with close attention to detail. And that's not all. Héroux says he has pinpointed where and how the magnetic field acts on the cell. Héroux is in McGill's Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health and runs the InVitroPlus Lab at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. Counting Excess Chromosomes Héroux and his former graduate student, now postdoc, Ying Li have been counting the numbers of chromosomes in cancer cells before and after they are exposed to miniscule magnetic fields, much less than a 0.1 µT or a milligauss. The science is called karyology, the study of chromosomes— the karyotype, as they are collectively called. Karyology has been around for close to a hundred years, but it long ago lost favor as a research tool to more sophisticated techniques of modern molecular biology. A change in the number of chromosomes may be a somewhat gross measure of genetic changes, but it does have the advantage of being easy to see. Unlike normal human cells, which have 46 chromosomes, cancer cells can have a larger —and variable— number of chromosomes. (Having more than 46 chromosomes, known as hyperploidy, is usually a sign of trouble, as in Down's syndrome.) A type of breast cancer cell, known as MCF-7, has an average of 74 chromosomes. When exposed to a 60 Hz magnetic field of as low as 25-50 nT (0.025-0.05 µT or 0.25-0.5 mG) for six days, the cells lose more than 10% of their chromosomes, according to Héroux and Li. They call the effect karyotype contraction and say that the change is highly statistically significant. They repeated the same experiment with four other cell lines —those of lung and colon cancer and two different types of leukemia— and found essentially the same effect every time. The cells exposed to magnetic fields show a number of remarkable properties: • After three weeks in the field, the number of chromosomes returns to baseline numbers; • Once adapted to the magnetic field, the cells become exquisitely sensitive to further variations of the magnetic field. An increase or decrease of only 10 nT (0.01 µT, 0.1 mG) will prompt another round of karyotype contractions. • The karyotype contractions vary very little over a wide range of field intensities —from 100 to 500 nT (0.1-0.5 µT, 1-5 mG). That is, there’s no dose-response. Héroux and Li concede that much of this behavior is “unusual” and runs counter to "classical toxicology and epidemiology." They say that they're in unchartered territory that's "unforeseen by conventional toxicological principles." In all five cell lines, the effects “are strikingly similar," they write, and this suggests a "common, basic mechanism." ATPS: A Molecular Engine That Pumps Energy into a Cell Héroux and Li propose that the magnetic field acts on ATP synthase (ATPS), an enzyme that catalyzes the production of adenosine triphosphate or ATP, the energy source for all living cells (see figure below).

Copied and pasted from an email sent to me. This is very serious. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/vadodara/Cellphones-ring-in-death-knell-for-plants-Study/articleshow/16715290.cmsCellphones ring in death knell for plants : StudyThe writer has posted comments on this articlePrashant RuperaPrashant Rupera, TNN | Oct 7, 2012, 11.05PM IST VADODARA: Even as Union government has rolled out new norms to reduce impact of cellphone radiation on people, a new study has revealed that the increasing electromagnetic wave energy (EMWE) pollution is adversely impacting even plant issues.EMWE pollution is caused due to mobile towers, power plants, high voltage towers and diagnostic tools which use electromagnetic waves of different frequencies in radio wave spectrum. A group of scientists of Gujarat after studying the impact of EMWE on tulsi and spinach have concluded that the electromagnetic waves leave behind harmful effect even on plants.The scientists selected the two types of plants and raised them by providing nutrients, water and temperature under laboratory conditions. These plants were exposed by EMWE of frequency 900 Mega hertz and field strength 1.9 milli tesla for 72 hours. The scientists carried out both physiological and biochemical analysis of these plants. They noticed that morphological changes like decrease in growth rate in terms of height, number of branches and leaves is seen in such plants. Their leaf size gets decreased, leaves become more brittle and they fell off early. " The biochemical tests indicated that after exposure there is a decrease in assimilatory pigments like chlorophylls and anthocyanins which shows decrease in photosynthetic rate in plants. At the same time, the carotenoid pigment content increased which resulted in the aging effect," director of Junagadh-based Noble Group of Institutions Ved Vyas Dwivedi said. Dwivedi carried out the research along with Chandni Upadhyaya, lecturer at Anand-based P M Patel Institute of Biotechnology and Trushit Upadhyaya, assistant professor at Charotar University of Science and Technology (CHARUSAT) at Changa. "At the same time, carbohydrates like starch and cellulose which are the main constituents of leaf cell wall decrease upon long term exposure. Sugar and water content also got decreased," said Dwivedi. Shockingly, in tulsi, which is a medicinal plant, its anti-microbial activity reduced after the plant was exposed to electromagnetic waves. Protein content of electromagnetically exposed and unexposed plants was analyzed by the scientists and comparative study indicated difference in protein profiling of the exposed plants. "Protein content of those plants which were exposed to radiation had fallen drastically compared to those plant which were grown naturally," added Dwivedi. According to the scientists, cellular service providers and operators have specified limits by defining their Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for human bodies but they have nothing specified for the plants. "If plants and trees are not taken care of, then it would be unrealistic to think of green world in a few years," they say. The scientists now plan to submit their work and results to Gujarat Council on Science and Technology, Gandhinagar so that a mass scale awareness campaign can be taken up.Also remember the previous study from 2008 by Roux et al. in Planta: High frequency (900 MHz) low amplitude (5 V m-1) electromagnetic field: a genuine environmental stimulus that affects transcription, translation, calcium and energy charge in tomato.Roux D, Vian A, Girard S, Bonnet P, Paladian F, Davies E, Ledoigt G. Planta. 2008 Mar;227(4):883-91. Epub 2007 Nov 20. PMID: 18026987 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
