CONCERN ABOUT EMFs
To: Roger Hillier, Petitions

For the past 3 winters I have suffered from a very aggressive skin
rash on my hands with symptoms of edema, redness, itch, pain, heat
sensation, papules and pustules. The first winter the rash appeared
after the installation of wireless computer technology. My children
moved out with all their wireless and electromagnetic devices and the
rash disappeared. During the second winter I started installing compact
fluorescent (CFLs) light bulbs including two 2 large full spectrum
bulbs in my kitchen for task lightning. The rash came back with a 5cm
area on the palm of one thumb, more like an open wound. I left my home
for 2 months in January and February to live and work in another
province and the rash cleared up. My doctor really didn’t know what was
causing the symptoms and diagnosed the rash as eczema.
This past winter I had installed 12 CFLs in my home. The rash is
back with a vengeance. The right hand on the back extending into the
fingers looks like radiation burns. There is quite a bit of swelling,
very red, weeping pustules and the hands are extremely itchy. The left
hand thumb on the palm side including the base of the thumb into the
palm and extending around to the front of the thumb is an open wound. I
am wearing white cotton gloves at night with creams recommended by the
pharmacist. I have surges of anxiety with the itchiness. My hands are a
mess. I’m also now experiencing blurry vision, dizziness and nausea.
I’m exhausted. I have become a very sick person.
Good Fortune. I have attended a presentation on electromagnetic
frequencies (EMFs) and their biological effects recognized by the World
Health Organization as EHS – ElectroHyperSensitivity. I am advised that
the CFLs in my home could be causing "dirty electricity" and causing
the "mess" on my hands. All CLFs are removed from my home and my
hands start healing immediately. Blurry vision, nausea and
dizziness cease. My doctor, dentist and optometrist have all been
advised. I now avoid going into a person’s home or frequenting
businesses or stores that have CFLs or wireless technologies.
I have shortened this story connecting the episodes and I can prove
my case. Several people have witnessed my condition. On April 7th,
2008 Health Canada admitted there might be problems with CFLs and skin
sensitivities. I very much expect that EMF contamination will
exacerbate many other health issues having adverse effects. I’m
concerned about our children being exposed to electromagnetic
pollution. This is a very serious health issue. I will continue to tell
my story, educate myself and inform my family, friends, and colleagues
on this matter.
Your immediate attention to this emerging health crisis is
imperative. I look forward to Health Canada’s recognition and support
for persons with (EHS) ElectroHyperSensitivity.
