National Health Freedom organization empowers consumers

National Health Freedom organization is standing up for consumers in a unique way to empower individuals to be able to choose how they handle their health needs and treatments. They also are speaking out for electrosensitive people - an estimated 3-8% and growing - in a culture largely oblivious to the new scourge.

Here is one shining beacon of their work:

Magnetic sensors may (partly) explain microwave sickness or sensitivity

Birds can do it.
Fish can do it.
Rats can do it.
Why can't we?

Well, who says we can't feel magnetic changes in our environment like the animals do?
This article may shed some light on why some people report sensations from changes in environmental fields, including growing electro-pollution. A fascinating read, just the kind of evidence needed to debunk naysayers' assumptions!

Of course, other biological impacts and factors may be contributing to physical experience of the fields, including the actual damage in process to cellular and system function. A person's metal burden (stored heavy metals and chemicals) could also be factors. Metals especially would interact with electromagnetic waves. But this finding is important and the next step is to look for magnetic sensor in human cells.

Discovery of magnetic sensors in fish and rats may explain why some people can 'feel' wi-fi, smart meters, power lines and electropollution

History of Microwave Mania: Silent Wireless Spring says it all

Anti-microwave radiation trail blazer Arthur Firstenberg exposes the calculated moves by powerful groups in the U.S. and internationally to push forward with a technology that has been proven for decades to be extremely harmful to living creatures. Firstenberg is a founding father, who early on spread the sane and sobering truth about where we are headed. His 2007 article speaks about the dangerous place we are today, despite the willful ignorance of those who refuse to see.

He writes:

One can imagine two very different futures. In one, these stories appear on the front pages of The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. The Food and Drug Administration suspends cell phone sales, and the Federal Communications Commission shuts down cell towers. Cities stop building Wi-Fi networks. Internet cafes dismantle antennas and install cables. Public service announcements tell people to put wires back on their home phones and computers. Wireless technology takes a place in history beside other mistakes like lead water pipes, asbestos insulation, thalidomide and DDT.

In the other future nothing changes. The news media continue to ignore those stories, and many others like them. Governments issue no warnings, and take no steps to protect the public or the environment.

We are waist-deep in "the other future." Add in many consumers' growing dependence on and addiction to cell phone products and apps, plus utility, educational and medical groups at the alter of wireless technology, and maybe we are neck-deep?

Many people have symptoms of Radiofrequency Sickness/Microwave Sickness but are unaware of the environmental cause. The growing number of people realizing they have this sensitivity must deal with a culture that would rather ridicule their sensitivity or call it psychological than take in the truth. We are a consumer culture and people like their stuff. They like to point out that all these microwave devices are legal. Of course, this is due to morbidly outdated and lax federal standards. (see Firstenberg's article for historical details)

The questions remain: Are we a stupid culture, unable to understand new information, even with facts staring us in the face? Are we a gullible culture that believes what the authorities tell us even if our experience says otherwise? Are we a cruel and selfish culture that wants what we want no matter what affect it has on others? Before these questions can be wholly answered, the culture must be exposed to the truth and given a chance to understand. And that it where Mr. Firstenberg and the rest of us are working.

Note: Arthur Firstenberg, for his early and continued work and articles bringing the reality of bio-effects from RF/MW to light, is now designated as a FDNHB Hero.

History of Microwave Mania: 40-year-old US Government Report issued URGENT WARNING on Electromagnetic Pollution

This 2007 article (or try this link) by Karl Hecht and Elena N. Savoley of IRCHET International Research Centre of Healthy and Ecological Technology should be a call to action. Their well-researched piece, Overloading of Towns and Cities with Radio Transmitters (Cellular Transmitter): a hazard for the human health and a disturbance of eco-ethics, exposes the current US government's shocking disregard for public health and safety.

The article opens with the following quotations from a US government report on electromagnetic pollution from 1971 that issued an urgent warning about these emissions 40 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.”

Hecht's article also vindicates the existence of electrohypersensitivity syndrome (EHS), also called Radiofrequency Sickness, Radio Wave Sickness or Microwave Sickness. It states that in 1932, the German doctor Erwin Schliephake published scientific data in the German Medical Weekly about radio transmitter-induced "microwave" or "radio wave sickness" with these symptoms: severe tiredness and fatigue during the day, fitful sleep in the night, headaches to the point of intolerability, and high susceptibility to infection. THIS WAS 80 YEARS AGO, people.

The article goes on to show how the newly discovered illness was verified as "microwave sickness, induced by athermal high-frequency EMF radiation." That's ATHERMAL, meaning below levels that cause heating effects. Our current government standards are ONLY based on heating effects, such as happens in higher settings of microwave ovens.

Hecht writes that the Russian author Zinaida Gordon from the Moscow Institute for Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Diseases scientifically verified Dr. Schliephake's findings, and examined over 1,000 people who worked at radio installations, electric utilities, radar stations, etc., over the duration of 10 years. Here are the common symptoms she established for microwave sickness:

daytime tiredness

loss of productiveness

sleeplessness

headaches

cardiovascular regulation changes of various types

neurovegetative disorders

neurosis

depressions

hyperactivity and inner agitation

Professor Gordon also found that the symptoms strengthened with increasing exposures, and sensitivity to microwave radiations increased.

Our government has been well-versed about the dangers of electromagnetic pollution for forty years, and its negligence is causing people to fall very ill from a scientifically documented condition, which has been in the literature since 1936 - nearly 80 years - and there is NO EXCUSE to ignore this. 

New scientific study finds electromagnetic hypersensitivity "a bona fide syndrome"

A new scientific study finds electromagnetic hypersensitivity to be "a bona fide environmentally-inducible neurological syndrome." But did the authors really need to call it a "novel" neurological syndrome in the title? Novel means strikingly new, unusual, or different.

Radiofrequency Sickness Syndrome has been around for decades, and there is nothing "unusual" about having functional impairment upon exposure to radiofrequency/microwave radiation. Just the fact that the syndrome is currently experienced by a small percentage of the population does not make it unusual any more than having a deadly reaction to peanuts is unusual.

Nevertheless, this is an important finding to add to the long, growing list of "studies to ignore" by the U.S. FDA and FCC if they ever want to update their grossly outdated wireless exposure standards.

ELECTROMAGNETIC HYPERSENSITIVITY: EVIDENCE FOR A NOVEL NEUROLOGICAL SYNDROME

Authors: David E McCarty, Simona Carrubba, Andrew L Chesson, Clifton Frilot, Eduardo Gonzalez-Toledo, Andrew A Marino

The International journal of neuroscience. 07/2011

ABSTRACT Objective: We sought direct evidence that acute exposure to environmental-strength electromagnetic fields 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 to 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 < 0.05). 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.
