Wireless signal making you sick?

Friends,
Here is the latest from Raleigh's ABC-TV news 11. Thank you all that
have been writing letters to the City Council members. ABC reporter
Jon Camp noticed the international attention especially the letter
from Roger Moller in England and interviewed me today.
We'll find out tomorrow if the council will continue the discussion/
exploration on Wi-Fi in Raleigh.

Thank you all!

Andrew

RALEIGH (WTVD) -- The City of Raleigh is joining a growing number of
cities looking at wireless signals from a health perspective.

On Tuesday, Raleigh City Council will take part in a presentation on
microwave radiation sickness and hear a testimonial.

The discussion stems from a growing number of people who say wireless
signals make them physically ill.

Raleigh resident Andrew McAfee says it all started about seven years
ago when he and his wife bought a house next to a television tower.

"After a couple of months living there, I started getting more
headaches and bags under my eyes, my skin became like reptile
leather," he said.

McAfee says his symptoms kept getting worse and he eventually made the
connection.

"Driving by the tower I'd just start feeling like, 'wow, something hit
me from the tower,'" he said.

They wound up moving, but McAfee says other electronics, including
cell phones had also begun to make him sick.

"It was very difficult to have this reputation that 'oh, you can't be
around Andrew with a cell phone,' and especially for my career, it's
been very difficult," he said.

The studies on electro-magnetic sensitivity are inconclusive. But
increasingly, cities are starting to take stories like McAfee's
seriously.

San Francisco just passed a law requiring cell phone retailers to post
how much radiation their phones gives off. And many cities are
considering moratoriums on building new towers.

McAfee is hoping Raleigh will do the same, but knows not much is
likely to change anytime soon.

So in order to deal with it, he wears a lead hat when he travels by
plane.

"It's typically used by people after they get a radiation treatment to
not let the radiation get out of their head; I've found it helps
lessen the radiation that comes into my head when I'm around other
people with cell phones," McAfee said.

In Raleigh, one doctor's office tells us they've treated multiple
cases of electro-magnetic sensitivity and in that McAfee sees hope.

"There are now more and more of us, locally, that are supporting each
other, so I don't feel so alone anymore," McAfee said.

Hi Andrew,

Great work in raising awareness! Interesting that your sensitivity
occurred with radio/TV towers. One common defense of cell towers is
that radio/TV towers are safe, and so cell towers should be too.
However, the premise is false! There are both studies on cell towers
and radio towers:

Cell Tower Studies:
"Cancer:
●Naila, Germany: 3x new malignancies <400m after 5 years exposure
(Eger, '04)
●Netanya, Israel: 4x cancer < 350m (Wolf and Wolf, '04)

Electrosensitivity:
●Spain: Increasing health symptoms the closer you get to a cell
phone transmitter (Santini, '01)
●Also: Egypt (Abdel-Rassoul, '06), Cyprus (Preece, '05), Poland
(Bortkiewicz, '04), Spain (Navarro,'03),

What about Radio & TV Towers?
Similarly, increased cancer incidence and health symptoms also
occur near Radio and TV towers:

Cancer:
●Rome, Italy: Radio tower, (Michelozzi, 2002).
●Sutro Tower, San Francisco (Cherry, 2000)
●Sutton Coldfield TV tower, Great Britain (Dolk, 1997)
●Australia TV tower, (Bruce Hocking, 1996)

Other Health Symptoms:
●Schwarzenberg, Switzerland: Sleep/attention;
●Ouruhia, NZ : Cancer, electrosensitivity, heart problems,
asthma,..."
