Being Electrosensitive (in a microwaved world)

  Professor Alexander Lerchl, who is leading a study examining the effects of 5G on human cells (funded by the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection), has been found guilty by the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court of Bremen of disseminating false allegations about the results of the 2004 REFLEX EMF study. Professor Lerchl has to bear the costs of the legal proceedings... (Below is an auto-translation of an article published by Diagnose:Funk on 28th January 2021 - please see the original article for links) The Hanseatic Higher Regional Court of Bremen sentenced Professor Alexander Lerchl to withdraw his falsification allegation against the REFLEX study  Text of the judgment and report by Prof. Adlkofer The final judgment was made in December 2020: The falsification claims against the REFLEX study may no longer be repeated. In other words: the results of the REFLEX study from 2004 that cell phone radiation has a genotoxic potential are correct. We document ...

  We are bombarded on a daily basis with 5G propaganda, both in terms of breathless, gushing articles extolling the virtues of the nascent technology (and of the necessity of 'winning the race' to saturate our respective countries with 5G coverage), and also of articles condemning - often in the most strident and offensive terms - those 'conspiracy theorists' and 'Luddites' who urge precaution in our adoption of the next generation of possibly carcinogenic technologies. Indeed, President Macron of France recently compared such people to the Amish. I was confronted by an article in the Guardian this morning, reporting on the recent results of a study from the director of the 'Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab', Dr Sander van der Linden, who is a 'Social Psychologist', and also 'co-convener of the Cambridge Special Interest Group on Disinformation and Media Literacy': Poor numerical literacy linked to greater susceptibility to Covid-19 f...

  In a development that is likely to shock and infuriate EMF-aware and electrosensitive people around the world, Dr Gideon James Rubin, a psychologist, has been awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for 2020 [1], which recognises the 'the outstanding achievements of people across the United Kingdom'. Rubin's name is notorious among the EMF/EHS advocate community, for his repeated claims that EHS is a 'nocebo effect': in other words, that electrosensitivity is a sort of irrational fear of technology, which precipitates symptoms which the World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises are 'certainly real', but which are not linked to electromagnetic fields. According to the WHO, the symptoms:  'include dermatological symptoms (redness, tingling, and burning sensations) as well as neurasthenic and vegetative symptoms (fatigue, tiredness, concentration difficulties, dizziness, nausea, heart palpitation, and digesti...

Quite often, people who have recently joined up the dots and linked exposure to EMFs to their symptoms - in other words, people who have realised that they are 'electrosensitive' - try to get their heads around what has happened to them, and why. I know that I did. A dawning awareness of the harmful nature of the electrosmog which now pollutes our homes and everywhere else prompts incredulity that the 'authorities' can let it happen. Surely, if the NHS, Public Health England, the Government, the World Health Organisation, and so on, are just told that people are becoming extremely ill as a result of all of the wireless technologies everywhere, they will urgently leap into action, and sort this growing public health disaster out with all of the determination and competency that they are currently showing in handling the Coronavirus pandemic? (Ok, perhaps with a little more determination and competency than that...). In the early days, like many people, I tr...

The story so far... Last year, I complained to the BBC, concerning its woefully biased coverage of the EMF/Health issue on a tv programme it broadcast called Health: Truth or Scare: Mobile Phones: BBC Bias https://beingelectrosensitive.blogspot.com/2019/05/ To cut a long story short, the BBC refused to accept that this programme was biased and that it misrepresented the science on the health effects of wireless technologies such as mobile phones, mobile masts, Wi-Fi and smart meters (although it did concede one or two points that I made in my complaint). I escalated my complaint through all stages of the BBC's complaints process, and then, because I still wasn't satisfied with the responses that I received, I escalated it to the regulator, Ofcom. My complaint then, to all intents and purposes, disappeared into the ether. I may publish the full correspondence between the BBC and myself on this blog at some point. Since then, the BBC has continued t...

The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life, by Arthur Firstenberg This book, written by Arthur Firstenberg in 2017, is one of the definitive texts on electrosensitivity, in all of its different shapes and forms. The 'Invisible Rainbow' of the title refers to electricity and the electromagnetic spectrum, most of which is completely invisible to humans, apart from a tiny portion of it which we can perceive as visible light; the colours of the rainbow. Just as most of the electromagnetic spectrum cannot be seen with the naked eye, so it seems that 'electrosensitivity' is invisible to most non-sufferers. Symptoms arising from chronic exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and radiation in the environment are probably experienced by most, if not all, people, and yet - officially - these harmful effects don't even exist, or else they are given to different causes. As well as writing this book in 2017, Arthur Firstenberg has l...

The UK Government is currently conducting a public consultation into its plans to ease the deployment of 5G infrastructure, through changes to the planning system. This consultation ends on 4th November 2019 , and you can find details of the Government's plans, and how to comment on them, here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/proposed-reforms-to-permitted-development-rights-to-support-the-deployment-of-5g-and-extend-mobile-coverage The Government is seeking responses to six questions concerning its plans, which you can see via the link above. Questions 2-6 are relevant to private individuals, as opposed to companies. I've submitted a response, in which I go into a number of issues concerning 5G (as well as existing wireless technologies), and how the radiation emitted by 5G masts and small cells will pose a particular challenge for electrosensitive people such as myself. This was produced in quite a hurry, so there are probably many mista...
