Are you allergic to Wi-Fi? Strange new illness with even stranger cure.

I have more issues from my cordless home phone than my cellphone or wi-fi to my laptop. My home can give me a headache and a warm ear...but I haven't gone to the doctor...I just talk too long and will probably eventually just buy a new phone.

The headaches, chronic pain, and muscle spasms are from hunching over your laptop for hours on end. Yeesh.

*Rolls eyes.* Or it could be she was having a heart-attack and headaches induced by sitting on her butt staring at a computer screen. Just a thought.

This woman is clearly insane.

Interesting.

This article and the comments are so badly flawed that they are either sensational or just stupid. For example one guy equates RF energy with AF energy (from his car amplifier)... not the same at all, goof ball.

When I played with something I thought safe, but my father worried about it....I would say, in defence, "It doesnt hurt." He answered, "It is not doing you any good, either."

That is the current state of science on RF radiation and the human body. i.e. Not conclusive either way, but, to bodies, RF is not doing you any good (except with diatheramy treatements, maybe). Anybody can see that grass grows more under high voltage power lines, but people are not grass.

Massive amounts of RF energy are already present (none, basically, during cave man days) now, and to turn it off would be a catastrophe everywhere, but human defenses to RF... unlike white blood cells, hard fingernails, and foot soles that can be so thick as to walk un hurt over broken glass... has no genetic nor adaptive strategies the body has developed over the centuries (or over several years walking barefoot). We are totally defenceless above a watt or so, at which our skin and flesh just heats up a little and sluffs the effects off. But what happens with hundred thousand watts of RF from a TV tower? Get close enough to RF emmiters with a flouriscent bulb (not plugged in, just the bulb) and RF will light it up. Old Tesla wanted to broadcast electric power on some frequency...think about that (no wires, just ur home antenna to catch some power). The cats whisker radio powers itself from the RF in the air..... no batteries needed.

So, good luck on knowing what to do. Believe me, NO ONE who uses or sells RF devices wants to know that it is bad because to shut all that stuff down would shut our world mostly down.

Unbelievable. This article makes it sound like any of these claims have ever been substantiated. They have not. EHS is fake. It's made up/imagined by hypochondriacs and con-artists pursuing fraudulent lawsuits. There has never been a single case where a so-called sufferer was able to demonstrate that they could "perceive" when wireless radiation was "on" or "off." The vast majority of studies about cell phones and radiation conclude that there is no correlation with brain cancer or increased radiation beyond what we get from radio transmissions, microwaves, being on an airplane, etc. This entire topic is merely an illustration of how many intellectually lazy people there are in this country who perform armchair science with no idea what they're talking about, and who perpetuate myths and urban legends without bothering to merely perform a 1 second Google search to see if they're spouting nonsense or not. This is a terrible, terrible, terrible article. Piper, you should be ashamed of yourself.

um wow.. this is really stupid.. I'm so sick of these crazy allergies/illnesses, it'll all in your head..

I just had back surgery. After my surgery, everything was better except occasional numbness of my fingers...both hands, not in pattern with my former injuries. I questioned my Neurosurgeon...a guy so knowledgable that doctors fly from Italy for him to operate on themselves. His response: "That's your cell phone."

I am inclined to agree with you Fred. I have two degrees in engineering and a degree in law. However:

A couple of years back I carried a cell phone in the front pocket of my jeans. And that sucker would put an occasional burn on my thigh like no one's business. Never a blister, never even redness of the skin, but sure as hell a painful HOT footprint wherever that phones footprint fell on my body: left leg, right leg, hip, no matter. Always at random, couple of times a week. Not associated with call activity. Annoying as hell, I can assure you of that.

I got rid of the phone, and the problem has never recurred.

I think there's something to these complaints.

Are you allergic to your wi-fi ?? If you are your TV/Radio stations are killing you!!!!
I read this stuff all the time and the engineering and physics do not support the warnings.
TV/Radio stations broadcast with powers between 50,000 watts to 100,000 watts. Your wi-fi is around 1 watt.
The magnetic field around the high tension power lines is huge. When you have AM on your radio you can hear the static caused by such power.
The amplifiers in your car produce far more wattage than any wi-fi in use today.
I read this article and found it NOT BASED on physics or engineering but here say.

If you believe this move to Death Valley to avoid power lines, transformers, TV/radio stations because they are killing you.

Crazy

Fred

Are you allergic to your wi fi?? That's a new one.
Remember an article on xrays showing a cell phone shaped tumor on a person? I believe you Piper on this article, we're gonna be needing new body parts with all the new technology. Eeeeek!

HMMM. Sounds like I need to get my old snake oil kit out and hit the road.

This electromagnetic hypersensitivity is the same thing that's killing off the honey bees.

Hmm... Yes, I can feel my fingers tingling as I type this into the comment box from my smart phone!
