Most of the damage done by digital telecommunications is not due to

heating but by the electrical effect their pulsating signals have on living

tissues, which occurs at much lower energy levels.

The human body can act as an antenna and the signals make electric

currents flow through it in time with the pulsations. It is this that does the

bulk of the damage by destabilising the delicate membranes that surround each

cell and also divide it into internal compartment such as mitochondria (the

energy factories of the cell) and the lysosomes (the cell’s recycling

factories).

All of these membranes are just two molecules thick and have a similar

basic structure. They are liquid crystals, made largely of negatively charged

molecules (which repel one another) stabilised by divalent positive ions

(mostly calcium) that sit in between them by mutual attraction and hold them

together like mortar holds together the bricks in a wall.

It was first shown by Bawin et. al. in the 1970s that weak amplitude

modulated radio waves, where the strength of the signal rises and falls at low

frequencies, could remove some of this calcium from brain cell membranes.

This destabilises them and make them more likely to leak. The low frequency

pulsations of Wi-Fi and mobile phone signals can be expected to behave in

much the same way. – This is important in the brain because the normal

function of brain cells depends on the controlled passage of specific ions

through their membranes. When these membranes leak, ions flow through them in a

relatively uncontrolled way, which results in brain hyperactivity and may

cause attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in some people. When

this occurs in the brain of a foetus or very young child it prevents normal

brain development, which may result in autism (see

(http://mcs-america.org/june2011pg2345.pdf) ) . Wi-Fi

should therefore be considered as an impediment rather than an aid to

learning and may be particularly hazardous for pregnant teachers.

Effects on the peripheral nervous system are equally damaging since

hyperactivity here causes false sensations such as pain, heat, cold, and pins

and

needles in some people (i.e. symptoms of electromagnetic

hypersensitivity). Hyperactivity in the cells of the inner ear can cause

tinnitus and affect

the sense of balance causing dizziness and symptoms of motion sickness,

including nausea. Pupils showing any of these symptoms should be treated with

sympathy and the Wi-Fi switched off.

Many other effects on health can be attributed to membrane leakage,

including damage to DNA due to the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS)

from

mitochondria, and digestive enzymes from lysosomes. Such DNA damage can

cause a loss of fertility and an increased risk of getting cancer.

Membrane leakage can also open the blood-brain barrier, leading to

Alzheimer’s disease and early dementia. There are similar barriers protecting

all

of our body surfaces from foreign chemicals. Damage to these can cause or

exacerbate a variety of illnesses, including asthma, multiple allergies and

autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis. More on these, including

references, can be found at

Fortunately, because of genetic variability, not everyone will suffer the

same symptoms and many may suffer none at all but, for the sake of those

that do suffer, Wi-Fi is not a good idea in schools or anywhere else for that

matter.

Important New Russian Research on Cell Phone Radiation’s Effect on

Cognitive and Other Functions in Children

Summaries of the 2-part study are posted at ElectromagneticHealth.org.

This news reinforces what Rau, MD of the Paracelsus Clinic said in

his interview with Electromagnetic Health.org–that if we continue to expose

children to this radiation, we will end up with “Dumb ChildrenI think it

is high time we refocus the discussion about this emerging public health

issue to include, beyond the predictions for brain tumors growth (which are

unfortunately now starting to manifest in the recent trend data from UK,

Israel, Finland and Norway), the cognitive effects on us all, which are

happening to many people and now. Other priorities should be the DNA effects,

and

the potential long term consequences for children, and for the human

species, from blanketing ourselves in this radiation.
