"I think it's a terrible mistake," she says. "Is Wi-Fi going to turn out to be the tobacco, asbestos or Thalidomide of the 21st century? It's looking that way.

"And instead of testing it out properly, what are we doing? We're putting it into schools, exposing small children to it all day long, and opening up entire Wi-Fi areas - they've just created a giant new Wi-Fi zone in the City of London.

Still doesn't rule out it being entirely psychological.
What is the relevance of picture phones? She seems to make a big thing about someone coming to her house with a picture phone. Surely these do not transmit any more power or frequently than non-picture phones?

Article also mentions blinded testing when people did not know if phones were on or not and it failed to show a link to the radio waves

Well NMM, as all the UK's mobile networks have had to be massively upgraded in order to carry MMS and video, then I would suggest that whatever adverse effect might have pre-dated "picture-phones" might be somewhat dwarfed by the effects we suffer now.

Apologies for my side of the Prince Charles/GM side-track, but now I would like to introduce another potential side issue: Calcium precipitation in my head.

I have read that one of the concerns about the effect of some types of radio-waves on human cells is to cause some cells to lose calcium.

I have in recent years suffered infrequent vertigo attacks. Once or twice in the past, I have been prescribed SERC and had "suspected Menieres disease".

Until recently, I had always supposed that the episodes of vertigo were brought on by a possible bacterial or viral infection of the inner ear.

2 or 3 months ago however, I caught a Radio 4 programme which talked about a possible benign condition which could sometimes be solved not by medicine, but by physical manipulation. I did not think anymore about it but remembered it when I suffered a vertigo attack, and someone else in their forties said they'd also had one and that their doctor had cured it almost instantly.

I had actually booked an appointment with my GP, but after looking up the treatment on the internet I tried DIY and more or less fixed myself! I cancelled the GP appointment.

3 weeks later and I again have suffered vertigo this weekend.

What's all this got to do with radio-waves?

Well, the treatment I refer to is designed to manoeuvre loose calcium in the inner ear to a place where it does not interfere with balance.

How and why does the loose calcium get there in the first place? Might surplus free calcium have accumulated after exposure to radio waves?

That is my question.

Spotted this sign outside a pub in the Czech Republic this week and thought it might be a place that caters for your needs peter.




But when I went into the pub I realised it was actually access to WiFi that was free. :rolleyes:

Some of this is way too technical for me, but intresting all the same. I don't know but when i stay at the inlaws I never sleep that well. They live on the top of a hill with 5 large transmitters & micro links within 1km & 3 of them within 500 mtrs. I try to sleep, with the window wide open just a little blanket in the middle of winter & I am cooking. I lie there sweating away feeling so hot & I can't understand it. I am normally the first one to feel cold and get another blanket. Maybe the stress of the inlaws? I don't know but I do wonder if i am not being slowly simmered by the energy buzzing around. Our bodies must be absorbing some of this energy.
I suppose in comparison wi-fi is negligable but still we need to be aware of the potential dangers and keep up the research as these waves are going to be more common and stronger.

I suggest you do some calculations based on the specific heat capacity of water (close to that of the human body) and work out just how much energy would need to be absorbed to heat the body noticably

Iwas going to use a modified electric blanket that was earthed & the coils earthed as a screen to see if that helped when i was next up there.

to be honest I was wondering when someone would think of this. I was amazed by the amount of ppl that needed wifi in their home, when to be honest its a bit on the crud side.
I guess we will now gets all the ppl that HAD to have wifi will be asking to have it taken out and wires put in. lol
