Are WiFi Radio Waves Frying Our Brains?
By Larry Hendrick | April 24, 2007
I have read several articles about people that claim WiFi makes them sick. I am not sure how much validity their claims have, but enough is happening now that it raises concern.
This article out of the UK brings WiFi and Cellular into the same camp, citing the increased likelyhood of brain tumors for heavy cell phone user. It quotes a few people that think more testing should be done before it’s to late.
Danger on the airwaves: Is the Wi-Fi revolution a health time bomb?
So far only a few, faint warnings have been raised, mainly by people who are so sensitised to the electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobiles, their masts and Wi-Fi that they become ill in its presence. The World Health Organisation estimates that up to three out of every hundred people are “electrosensitive” to some extent. But scientists and doctors - and some European governments - are adding their voices to the alarm as it becomes clear that the almost universal use of mobile phones may be storing up medical catastrophe for the future.
A recent authoritative Finnish study has found that people who have used mobiles for more than ten years are 40 per cent more likely to get a brain tumour on the same side of the head as they hold their handset; Swedish research suggests that the risk is almost four times as great. And further research from Sweden claims that the radiation kills off brain cells, which could lead to today’s younger generation going senile in their forties and fifties.
What are your thoughts on this subject. Are we in danger of radioactive damage?
