Onverklaarde gezondheidsklachten (Upd + 2 nd ext.)

Onverklaarde gezondheidsklachten:
“Veel mensen in onze geciviliseerde wereld hebben gezondheidsklachten die veroorzaakt worden door elektromagnetische velden (EMV, ook wel straling genoemd). Zij voelen zich regelmatig of chronisch moe, lusteloos of gedeprimeerd en lijden aan hoofdpijn of andere lichamelijke of psychische pijnen of klachten. Meestal zijn het aandoeningen die medisch geen eenduidige oorzaak hebben. De arts of specialist kan meestal geen specifieke oorzaak vinden en denkt al gauw aan psychische problemen of stress. Maar het is duidelijk dat vaak uitwendige factoren in het spel zijn, zoals sommige geuren, licht, lawaai en EMV die heersen rond bijna alle elektrische apparaten, machines en installaties. Over deze laatste factor handelt deze brochure.”

Een van de vele voorbeelden van vage klachten: slapeloosheid.
23 % van de Belgen slaapt slecht. Oorzaak?

Wilt u nog een voorbeeld?
Momenteel slikken volgens een onderzoek van de universiteit van Keulen viermaal zoveel kinderen en jongeren kalmeringsmiddelen als in 2000. Oorzaak?

You´ll Never See It Coming
By Alex Richards
In the next five years you may see your health decline. It may start with fatigue and stress. You will awaken un-refreshed. Perhaps you´ll have headaches and find it difficult to concentrate. Out of nowhere will come blue moments and panic attacks. You´ll blame it on your lifestyle. You´re getting older. You will probably never consider the subtle fact: our environment has fundamentally changed..
The US has become increasingly filled with radiation from radio-frequency fields and microwaves. These radio waves create electromagnetic fields (EMF) from cell phones, satellites, military and airport radar, WiFi, security alarms, baby monitors and even remote control toys. Until the late 1980´s these radio waves were mostly generated by commercial or military sources. But then we began to bring microwave transmitters like cell phones, WiFi and microwave ovens right into our lives. Our environment, once filled with only thousands of distant fixed transmitters now has become an environment filled with millions of mobile transmitters, many of which beam EMF into our homes. What was once solely a commercial/military source of microwaves, has given way to the ''dark side'' of the consumer wireless revolution.
Most of us never noticed. These waves are invisible. We can´t feel, taste, or sense them. But their effects can be observed and measured. While measurements show that the intensity of radio waves in our environment has risen between 50-150 times in the last decade, in an eerie parallel, science has been tracking the explosion of unexplained health impacts.
Scientists have already linked biological effects, symptoms and disease with low-levels of electromagnetic radiation (www.BioInitiative.org). Over 600 studies connect EMF with Cancer, Alzheimer´s, depression, suicide, Autism, Leukemia, DNA damage, heart disease, strokes, chromosome damage, migraines, permeation of the blood brain barrier, activation of stress hormones, decreases in melatonin/ serotonin and immune system suppressionwww.marinproject.org). Other studies help explain the list of unexplained stress symptoms you may be already be feeling: fatigue, memory loss, anxiety, concentration issues, chronic joint/muscle pain, sleep disturbances and ringing in your ears.
The Freiburger Appeal (www.WirelessStress.com ) with nearly 30,000 signatures by European physicians links cell phones, cordless phones and cell towers with these unexplained stress symptoms. Along with the growth of wireless since the mid-1980´s, there has been a parallel growth of illnesses without a known cause, so-called mystery illnesses and an emergence of dozens of `new age´ diseases, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, MS, Lupus, Gulf War Syndrome and Electrohypersensitivity, all of which share the same primary symptoms as the stress symptoms listed above. The link between wireless technologies and the three tiers of health impacts is astonishing: unexplained stress symptoms; ''mystery illnesses'' and the explosion of ''new age´ illness.
When you begin to see these stress symptoms coming, you may receive plenty of advice from your family physicians. You will probably fill prescriptions for sleep, pain and maybe even depression. You will gain a sense of management of the symptoms, but they will persist. You will come to accept it.
You will never make the connection to an invisible world of electropollution that has silently exploded around you. You will never suspect that the cell phone in your pocket, or the wireless router that brings you WiFi, could be stealing your health. You´ll go on filling your prescription and explaining the nagging symptoms away. You´ll never see it coming.
