The Microwave Factor
Microwave - and other forms of electromagnetic - radiation
are major (but conveniently disregarded, ignored, and
overlooked) factors in many modern unexplained disease
states. Insomnia, anxiety, vision problems, swollen lymph,
headaches, extreme thirst, night sweats, fatigue, memory and
concentration problems, muscle pain, weakened immunity,
allergies, heart problems, and intestinal disturbances are
all symptoms found in a disease process originally described
in the 1970s as Microwave Sickness.
Dangers of Wi-Fi in Schools
'Wi-Fi should be considered as
an impediment rather than an aid to learning and may be
particularly hazardous for pregnant teachers.'
Dr Andrew Goldsworthy - November 2011
Most of the damage done by digital telecommunications is not
due to heating but by the electrical effect their pulsating
signals have on living tissues, which occurs at much lower
energy levels.
The human body can act as an antenna and the signals make
electric currents flow through it in time with the
pulsations. It is this that does the bulk of the damage by
destabilising the delicate membranes that surround each cell
and also divide it into internal compartment such as
mitochondria (the energy factories of the cell) and the
lysosomes (the cell’s recycling factories).
All of these membranes are just two molecules thick and have
a similar basic structure. They are liquid crystals, made
largely of negatively charged molecules (which repel one
another) stabilised by divalent positive ions (mostly
calcium) that sit in between them by mutual attraction and
hold them together like mortar holds together the bricks in
a wall.
It was first shown by Bawin et. al. in the 1970s that weak
amplitude modulated radio waves, where the strength of the
signal rises and falls at low frequencies, could remove some
of this calcium from brain cell membranes. This destabilises
them and make them more likely to leak. The low frequency
pulsations of Wi-Fi and mobile phone signals can be expected
to behave in much the same way.-
This is important in the brain because the normal function
of brain cells depends on the controlled passage of specific
ions through their membranes. When these membranes leak,
ions flow through them in a relatively uncontrolled way,
which results in brain hyperactivity and may cause attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in some people. When
this occurs in the brain of a foetus or very young child it
prevents normal brain development, which may result in
autism (see http://mcsamerica. org/june2011pg2345.pdf ) .
Wi-Fi should therefore be considered as an impediment rather
than an aid to learning and may be particularly hazardous
for pregnant teachers.
Effects on the peripheral nervous system are equally
damaging since hyperactivity here causes false sensations
such as pain, heat, cold, and pins and needles in some
people (i.e. symptoms of electromagnetic hypersensitivity).
Hyperactivity in the cells of the inner ear can cause
tinnitus and affect the sense of balance causing dizziness
and symptoms of motion sickness, including nausea.
Pupils showing any of these symptoms should be treated with
sympathy and the Wi-Fi switched off.
Many other effects on health can be attributed to membrane
leakage, including damage to DNA due to the release of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) from mitochondria, and
digestive enzymes from lysosomes. Such DNA damage can cause
a loss of fertility and an increased risk of getting cancer.
Membrane leakage can also open the blood-brain barrier,
leading to Alzheimer’s disease and early dementia. There are
similar barriers protecting all of our body surfaces from
foreign chemicals.
Damage to these can cause or exacerbate a variety of
illnesses, including asthma, multiple allergies and
autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis. More on
these, including references, can be found at
http://www.hese-project.org/hese-uk/en/papers/cell_phone_and_cell.pdf
Fortunately, because of genetic variability, not everyone
will suffer the same symptoms and many may suffer none at
all but, for the sake of those that do suffer, Wi-Fi is not
a good idea in schools or anywhere else for that matter.
Andrew Goldsworthy BSc PhD is a retired lecturer from
Imperial College London. He spent most of his career there,
where he taught and researched a variety of topics ranging
from plant and animal physiology and biochemistry to the
ways in which living organisms use weak electric currents to
control their growth and metabolism. These currents are due
to specific ions flowing through cell membranes in a highly
controlled way. Much of his work was on calcium ions, which
are important in the control of metabolism and in
maintaining the stability of cell membranes.His studies
involved making measurements of the weak natural currents
flowing into and out of living cells, looking at the ways in
which artificial electric currents and electromagnetic
fields affected them and also their consequences for normal
growth and development. Following his retirement in 2004, he
took a special interest in the effects of the radiation from
mobile telecommunications on both animals and plants. The
effects observed on plants preclude any possibility that
they are of psychosomatic origin.
