‘Open letter by UK medical doctors:
Health and safety of Wi-Fi and mobile phones
We wish to highlight our concern over the safety of exposure to microwave radiation from wireless technology, particularly for vulnerable groups like children, pregnant women, the elderly and those with compromised health.
There is growing concern that chronic (long-term) exposure to radiofrequency/microwave radiation from wireless technologies causes damage, particularly genetic damage, cognitive damage, cancer and decreased fertility. There is now substantial evidence of a link between mobile phone use and brain cancer. This was recognised by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)’s 30-strong panel of scientists, which in 2011 classed radiofrequency radiation as “possibly carcinogenic”.
Additionally, doctors are encountering a significant and growing number of people presenting with a range of acute (short-term) symptoms from wireless radiation, including headaches, palpitations, rashes, fatigue, sleep disturbance, allergies and memory and concentration problems.
International medical agencies have recognised the evidence of harm (see appended list) but these rulings may take many years to be reflected in public health policy. This controversy is a common characteristic of scientific understanding when environmental exposures are new.
New technologies and substances often come with scientific conflict, which can continue for several decades before consensus is achieved. Commercial pressures often delay the acceptance of health risks, even when scientific evidence is compelling. In the case of tobacco, asbestos, x-rays and leaded petrol, for example, it took many decades before damage was established and accepted by health agencies and during those decades millions of people suffered ill-health and death as a result of the delay. Now, despite evidence of harm, wireless technology is being rolled out widely.
We urge health agencies and the public to act immediately to reduce exposure to radiofrequency/microwave radiation. This is especially important for children, who are physiologically more vulnerable to this exposure and for whom adults have a safeguarding responsibility.
Children’s health should be put ahead of convenience and commercial benefits. Children should not use mobile phones except in an emergency, and WiFi should be replaced with wired alternatives in schools and other settings where children spend considerable time.
Yours faithfully,

GovWatch: Has heard that they are implicated in the occurrance of house fires.
Unfortunately, as Kerry Cassidy explained, these folk have a need to monitor everything. They don’t trust the ‘punters’ to give correct information about their meter readings and don’t want to employ meter readers. They are also so psychotic that they need to know where all the punters are all day and night. Hence the licence reg plate readers on the roads now. They are logging your car journeys. They even want to know how many times kettles are boiled each day. When you last went to the loo. How many times you flushed the thing afterwards etc. This stems from fear that your free will might kick into action so you stop adhering to the habits they’ve carefully installed with you on one side, and on the other an obsessive need to see how much money they can make out of you. They fear you because you have that glorious creative spark that they lack. When you create something, their first instinct is to buy it up so they can ‘control’ it. 3D printing caused them headaches until Bilderberg 2013 where they discussed how to control that technology. Harvest your seeds and re-use next growing season? Oh no Monsanto wants to charge royalties every year on seeds. GovWatch, enough yada yada. Gove yes he wants to crush creativity – wonder why? He was probably rubbish at Art, Electronics, Food Tech, Visual Basic etc…… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yNoUTPRbl0

Oh Hello NLAT, is that the time? What did you say? Cam Jong’s ill? Pardon? I’m afraid I’ve been over at ‘TheTap Blogspot.’ I missed it. Yes a cup of tea would be great thanks. No sugar!
Oh, I see. Very funny. Sim to that Sunspot post I did earlier.
