Motor neurone disease and other illness near a cell phone mast with Tetra
I am an individual consumer and neighbour to other individuals, adversely affected.
From 2004 to 2007 I lived 30 metres from a cell phone mast at a fire station in the south of England, UK. The mast would have been 2G, but also included TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio), which was first utilized in emergency service communications in the early 2000s.
My neighbour Anne, moved to this small new estate early in 2005. She lived 10 metres from the mast. She experienced almost immediate illness, first severe facial pain, then extremely high blood pressure before we left in 2007. She moved house in 2008, but then got breast cancer. She was then diagnosed with Parkinsons’s Disease, followed by Motor Neurone Disease of which she died in 2018.
Another neighbour Chris had already been living 40 metres from the same mast before we moved to the area. The mast may have been erected in 1999. An FOI request states about this mast, “the earliest reference to a lease for a mast at this site is 14 April 1999, however, we cannot confirm that this is the date that the mast was erected”. However, before we left in 2007 Chris had already developed symptoms of Motor Neurone Disease and died a few years later.
The medical practice (St. Helen’s Medical Centre, Isle of Wight), serving the area with the mast, currently has 6595 patients, 5 of whom currently have Motor Neurone Disease according to a recent FOI request.
My experience of ill health after living near the mast for 3 years.
At the time (2004 to 2007) I experienced chronic fatigue, through which I could work. In the third year I began to have panic attacks and stopped working. At that time, I was taking good care of my health, taking vitamin supplements (anti-oxidants) and walking by the sea, which may have offered some protection against EMFs from the mast.
After I moved house in 2007, I gradually developed more symptoms, such as long bouts of flu-like illness (aching and severe fatigue) but without any respiratory issues. I was unable to work for lengthy periods. I also had severely swollen glands in my neck for weeks at a time.
At this time, I had not connected my illness with EMFs and we had Wifi and DECT cordless phones in the house, though we did not have smartphones or other smart devices. I did not visit the allopathic doctor, as I did not believe they could help, other than provide medication which might deal with symptoms but not the root cause.
Another ill-effect was severe temperature regulation problems. Once I became over-heated, it took very many hours to cool down. In addition, I have had sleep problems, tingling in the hands and feet, tinnitus, as well as fibromyalgia (diagnosed in 2018 in The Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine).
Eventually from 2019 onwards, by which time I was fully convinced that EMFs had caused my ill-health and the death of my 2 previous neighbours, we got rid of wireless radiation at home and I have visited bio-resonance therapists, who have identified high EMFs levels in the hypothalamus area of the brain, in particular in connection with temperature regulation and sleep regulation. High EMFs were identified elsewhere in the body too - I can't be more specific.
In the UK, however, NHS doctors are not trained in the adverse health effects of EMFs, but private bio-resonance therapy is very helpful. It can test the systems of the body for the presence of man-made EMFs and can regulate the system by putting in frequencies which harmonise body systems, but I sense there has been some permanent damage and this cannot fully repair itself over time, because I am almost continuously exposed to EMFs of all types, both from electricity and from the higher frequencies of wireless communications.
