ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been sensitive to radiofrequency (RF) radiation since about the time it became widely adopted. As coverage grew, I had to limit cell phone and DECT phone usage, as these cuased headaches within minutes. Having avoided cell phones for years, I became tolerant to a degree, and after living in a remote area my symptoms went away completely and I could even tolerate some RF. However, now that I had to move back to the city for work, despite not using a cell phone, I can feel the negative effects from other people's phones and nearby towers. Research is now conclusive that it is impossible that RF is not causing some negative effects, and we can be sure they are going to be varied, and have a greater effect on children and people with underlying conditions. Studies have found that schools with RF or cell phone towers placed near them have a higher incidence of childhood cancers. Studies on cell phone radiation have shown immediate negative effects to blood viscosity, and other biological markers. The FCC's rules are very dated, and do not account for the science since the 80s, nor the experts' testimony such as that found in the Bioinitiative Report (2012). I believe the recognition of this issue is long overdue, and imperative for the health of future generations.
