Research and Case Studies:
These highly
publicized, "damage control studies" are probably the ones you
and your doctor recall seeing.
Symptoms of radio
wave sickness (excerpted from No Place To Hide April 2001):
Neurological:
headaches, dizziness, nausea, difficulty concentrating, memory
loss, irritability, depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue,
weakness, tremors, muscle spasms, numbness, tingling, altered
reflexes, muscle and joint paint, leg/foot pain, "Flu-like"
symptoms, fever. More severe reactions can include seizures,
paralysis, psychosis and stroke.
Cardiac:
palpitations, arrhythmias, pain or pressure in the chest, low or
high blood pressure, slow or fast heart rate, shortness of
breath.
Respiratory:
sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma.
Dermatological:
skin rash, itching, burning, facial flushing.
Ophthalmologic:
pain or burning in the eyes, pressure in/behind the eyes,
deteriorating vision, floaters, cataracts.
Others: digestive
problems; abdominal pain; enlarged thyroid, testicular/ovarian
pain; dryness of lips, tongue, mouth, eyes; great thirst;
dehydration; nosebleeds; internal bleeding; altered sugar
metabolism; immune abnormalities; redistribution of metals
within the body; hair loss; pain in the teeth; deteriorating
fillings; impaired sense of smell; ringing in the ears.
Why is the symptoms
list so broad? Symptoms are affected by body type, duration and
regularity of exposure, and frequency (hertz).
Further Findings:
It is interesting
to note that Canada is lacking behind in its efforts to pursue
research and perform case studies and it is for this reason that
we are forced to use foreign illustrations.
The faculty and
staff at Mindro Elementary School in Melrose, Wisconsin could
not figure out why its students and teachers had various health
problems during the school year. The story of this school's
experience is documented in The Health Effects of Electrical
Pollution by The National Foundation for Alternative Medicine,
Washington, D.C.
One teacher at the
school reported that since becoming an instructor there she had
chronic fatigue and developed a migraine headache problem
disabling her to instruct her students. Two other teachers in
the report stated that their allergy problems significantly
worsened during the school year. The school could also not
explain various behavior problems of students, not experienced
outside of the school year. In the story, a teacher relates that
during the school year, she experienced fatigue, headaches,
stress, and malaise which end at the conclusion of the school
year.
The school installed stray voltage filters
in the school to reduce electrical pollution in the building.
Teachers reported a significant improvement in the behavior of
the students and the well being of teachers. Before the filters
were installed, the affected teachers could not find reasoning
for the health problems and strange behavior. After two months,
the affected teachers experienced improvement in their health.
One of the teachers stated, "I have not changed my work habits,
or anything in my personal life that would contribute to these
changes I have noticed," said teacher Constance M. Alvin (The
Health Effects of Electrical Pollution by The National
Foundation for Alternative Medicine, Washington, D.C. pg 5.)

Why bother? The
July 5, 1999 issue of Fortune (industrial issue) states that
"Dirty power costs U.S. industry anywhere from $4 billion to $6
billion a year, according to Karl Stahlkopf, a vice president at
the utility financed Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)."
Due to insufficient isolation between the phase wires and the
primary neutral, "cleaning up" the power returning to the
utilities will "clean up" the power coming from the utilities.
"Cleaner" power can pay great dividends by extending equipment
lifetime and reducing down time. Furthermore, "cleaner" power
would reduce human and animal exposure to high frequencies,
thereby reducing the incidence and severity of symptoms of radio
wave sickness, leading to a healthier more productive future.
