Electromagnetic Sensitivity
Electro-sensitivity (ES) is a condition which can develop when people are exposed to mobile phones, mobile phone masts, powerlines, substations, computers, WiFi wireless networks, domestic wiring, DECT cordless phones and other household appliances.
What are the symptoms of ES?
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are produced by electrical and wireless appliances in homes and workplaces and outside in our everyday environment. These EMFs can provoke ES. The most common symptoms are head/ear pain when using a mobile phone, redness, burning on the face or arms when using a computer or headaches and sleep disruptions when living near a mobile phone mast, sleeplessness, lethargy, even miscarriages and depression when living near powerlines. Other symptoms include concentration and memory problems, muscle and joint pains, cardiac palpitations, fatigue, irritability and erratic high blood pressure.
Unfortunately, ES is usually progressive and over time the sufferer may become sensitive to a wider range of frequencies and / or their reactions may become more severe or they may begin to react to chemicals or develop food allergies.
When, because of EMFs all around, a person can no longer go to work, use a computer, watch television, go to the shops, go out in a car or even use a telephone, their lifestyle becomes very restricted. Often family, friends and GPs do not believe their symptoms can be caused by modern technology and suggest it is 'all in the mind' and their GP may even refer them to a psychiatrist. It is hard for the sufferer not to believe they are indeed going mad.
Who develops ES and what happens to them?
Anyone can develop electrical sensitivity, at any age, it is impossible to predict. It is estimated that about 5% of the UK population suffer quite badly from electrical sensitivity. That is more than 2,000,000 people.
Many adults lose their jobs when they can no longer tolerate modern work environments. Some have to move home, though getting away from substations and mobile phone masts is not an easy task. Most GPs and other medical professionals have no training in recognising or treating ES.
Are powerlines, substations, mobile and cordless phones, phone masts and WiFi networks safe?
Hundreds of scientific studies show increased risk of cancer, depression, Alzheimer's disease, leukaemia, brain tumours, fertility problems, miscarriages and damage to DNA as a result of exposure to EMFs from powerlines, masts, mobiles and DECT phones.
Why doesn't the government do something?
The government follows outdated advice that only protects the general public from acute effects such as electric shocks and being cooker. The exposure guidelines are not meant to protect us from the chronic effects such as those listed above.
What can be done?
Ella Dunbar is a Scientist (PhD, BSc Hons), a qualified Nutritionist, a Bio-resonance practitioner and a MORA therapist. (There are less than 20 qualified MORA therapists and approx. 45 practitioners in bio-resonance across the whole UK.) Using MORA therapy, Ella can help minimise the effects of ES.
