Dear Dr. Havas:
Two weeks ago I
noticed a small news item about parents wanting Wi Fi out of their
schools in Simcoe County. The next night, I took a look at the Wi Fi
‘box’ at the foot of my bed, and decided to unplug it.
The results were
immediate. I couldn’t believe it! I felt energized, and I felt
like all the nerves in my body were ‘coming back to life’.
Over the last two weeks I have felt so good – I’ve got my
life back!
Two years ago I bought
a new desktop computer, and since I had a laptop as well I decided to
go ‘wireless’. People at work said: “Go for it –
it’s great!” When the chap from Rogers came to install
it, he suggested a shelf beneath the TV in my bedroom. Since this was
going to be pointing directly at me, in my bed, and wasn’t far
away, I did ask him if it would be all right. Would I have any
problems? Without hesitation, he indicated everything would be fine.
It was installed and that was the last I thought about it.
Between then and two
weeks ago….
Ø
My leg muscles were getting weaker. (I walk a lot, so this didn’t
make sense.)
Ø
I was listless, had no energy, and, now that I look back, I know was
depressed. (This was huge for me.)
Ø
My body felt different – a lack of appetite and I was
constipated; I had back problems (sciatica and muscle spasms).
Ø
I had a summer cold that I just couldn’t shake. (I have had
two, maybe three, colds over the past 10 years, so this was highly
unusual for me.)
Of course, when I had
the back problems and then the cold, I spent more time in bed –
putting heat on my back and feeling rotten – and, you guessed
it, I was spending more time close to my Wi Fi!!!
I did continue to
work, but I took the subway two stops instead of walking. And, work
was about all I did. I no longer walked by the lake or in the park,
groceries were a chore, and forget any other kind of shopping. I was
in bed before 9:00 (which wasn’t a good thing, obviously). And
all that happened was that more and more of my energy was
disappearing.
Earlier in the same
evening that I unplugged THE BOX, I was talking to my sister and told
her I felt so terrible I was going to go to the doctor to request a
chest x-ray and echocardiogram because I was fearful that my heart
problems (congestive heart failure) from twelve years ago were
returning. Well, I haven’t had to do that!!
The last two weeks
have been a totally different story! I have my life back and I love
it!
People love ‘their
technology’ – their microwaves, cell phones, wireless
laptops – but these side effects are too big a price to pay.
This just may be the ‘cigarette’ of this generation. The
problem is, it’s invisible, so the battle will surely be long
and difficult.
I find your website
very informative and I do applaud you for what you’re doing –
thank you so much!
In case you haven’t
seen it, here’s an article I came across the other day. It
basically describes my experience – just change ‘office’
to ‘bedroom’.
