Editor,
Everybody loves the convenience of their wireless technology: cellphones, iPads, Wi-Fi, smart meters and so on. All that portable information and communication with no cables or strings, right?
Nothing to see, therefore nothing to worry about. Well, sadly, this is not the case, as is revealed by the accumulating research data too numerous to list here but easily accessed by a simple Internet search on the effects of unnatural electromagnetic radiation (EMR), i.e. emissions from telecommunications transmissions, on people, plants and animals.
As a medical doctor who specialized in the electromagnetic effects on the human body, I am very familiar with the potential harmful effects. The human body and all living things are electromagnetic systems, the healthy functioning of which can be interfered with by external electromagnetic radiation, all the more so with increasing strength, frequency and duration of exposure. The list of health issues found to be increased in studies on people working or living within or near EMRs is wide ranging. Sleep disturbances, nervous disease, leukemia, lymphomas and other cancers — not to mention those with EMR hypersensitivity whose lives are ruined in the effort to try to isolate themselves from its effects — are all examples. As for the environment, for instance, EMRs can affect bees and bird flight and migration as it is thought to interfere with their brain’s homing ability.
