interesting news article on invasive technology- Britian

LONDON (Reuters) - A British company has developed a camera that can
detect weapons, drugs or explosives hidden under people's clothes from
up to 25 meters away in what could be a breakthrough for the security
industry.

The T5000 camera, created by a company called ThruVision, uses what it
calls "passive imaging technology" to identify objects by the natural
electromagnetic rays -- known as Terahertz or T-rays -- that they emit.

Hello,

from the article, it is not clear which frequencies they are actually using.

The american company Brijot has developed for some time a video camera,
which measures differences from 90 GHz, from 80 to 100 GHz.
Apparently, the body frequency here lies at 90 GHz.

Our body carries also frequency fields af about MHz, which I can measure
with this RFI system.
(See *Auras* under *alternativ* on my HP.)

Yes, when I tell people that I'm bothered by electricity, sometimes
these
people volunteer that they seem to affect electrical items around them.
Just a few weeks ago someone said to me that they could never wear a
wristwatch, because it would always stop!

I met someone like that too. But as I kept listening the person eventually
volunteered that she showers and sleeps with her watch on.

RE: people affecting electrical items

Sarah Paine
although I wouldn't describe myself as electrosensitive, for some bizarre
reason I can't wear a functioning digital watch. Analogue ones are fine, but
within a couple of days of wearing a digital one, it starts to behave rather
erratically, sometimes running slow, sometimes fast. Most odd, and an easy
solution, I just stick to the standard analogue "clock" face type, which I
think are far nicer anyway.

And I don't shower with my watch on, although I do sleep with it on.

I've heard this several times before. May be even more well-known
than electrosensitivity as is discussed here.

Such persons may also seem to, temporarily or permenantly, put out
streetlight bulbs just by walking under them.

Hi, Bill,

I have never been able to wear a watch (since at least the age of 5) without breaking it, if it is touching my skin. I have broken watches in days of buying--they just stop. Don't have to sleep in it or shower with it. I can wear pendant watches or watches with leather wristbands that go under the watch successfully tho. And it doesn't matter whether it is battery or wind-up, got the same results. I also blow lightbulbs. If I am particularly ill this is really a problem. I have blown every light I tried to turn on in one day when I have been ill. I used to crash my computer alot and had problems in general with electronics malfunctioning. I try not to use electronics or computer when I am ill as I seem to affect and get affected by them more when I am ill.

I am affected worst by magnetic frequencies. I also react to cell towers and cell phones and digital equipment. I do not seem to be affected by light frequencies as others are here. Fluorescents only bother me usually when the ballast is bad and the lights are flickering. I do have problems with light flickering.

My 2 cents on this subject,
Diane

As for reacting to cell towers, there is one
in particular that is a nuisance (rt 78 E Exit 24)
in Jersey. It's at ground level.

Sometimes I hear a low frequency hum. Just yesterday
60 seconds after passing this tower my tinnitus flared
up and then I got pain in my ear.

There is a claim that baseball player Johnny Evers (of
Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance double

it as
a publicity ploy.

Do a Google search for "Street lights go out walking under", and you'll
find a surprisingly high number discussions about this.
This happened to me several years ago, although I could never convince
my wife that it was more than a weird coincidence... :-)

I've never had trouble with a watch, but regularly have had streets
lights go out just as I approach them in the car, sometimes two in a
row.

Oh interesting thought. Yes, I am also very prone to static shocks, but
mainly from getting in and out of my car (I'm partially disabled so I was
writing that off as a side effect of me having to pretty much slide across
the seat to get out) - generating enough static sometimes that when I earth
myself I get a visible spark!

Never had an EEG or EKG, but a PRO meter doesn't measure higher for me than
for anyone else - not noticeably anyway. But I'm not sure that would be
relevant, it's for measuring electric fields outside of the body..

Re: diane, same re: affected by

In reply to this post by sheila wade
Hi, Sheila,

Sorry if I missed your questions to the group. Actually, I did not miss it really, I just didn't want to answer because I knew to explain what you asked would take forever and be complicated. I assume that just saying head pain is not what you are looking for. Ask me again personally if I don't answer what you really wanted to know. Actually, I would usually send this personally, but for those here who are in for a long read and really want the knitty-gritty of pain, here goes.... ;)

I get bad head pain from cell towers--usually on the right side, but I can get pain elsewhere if the tower is to the left or back or front of me. I can actually tell the direction of the tower. The car often is shielding me, but even when driving (seated on the left), I get worse pain on the right than on the left. I get pain in the bottom back of my skull and dull right side pain when tower is behind, pain in forehead and sharp pain in eyes when tower is to front along with dull right side pain. When to the left I get pain in my left jaw and ear (both of which I have had illness in since youth) and my left eye. Sometimes I also have left side head pain, but also I have dull right side pain even if no leftside head pain. When the tower is on the right, the pain is very sharp in right side and right eye. There are particular towers that hurt worse than others and less than others. So the pain can be very sharp or dull, depending on that. Also, it is always worse
and encompasses my entire head if there are towers in 3 or 4 different directions and I am between them, even when the towers are very far off. Hope you can understand this! Rereading sounds confusing! ;)

I also get pain where I am wearing jewelry, which I rarely do anymore. Tho if the jewelry is on outside of clothing, I sometimes think it helps! I had on a stainless steel neckless over a turtleneck and got no pain in my head during one excursion. My skin under the necklace and turtleneck got a little itchy and red tho. I also get inability to think clearly and confusion, so I now cannot drive to particular places where there is alot of cell tower activity. Sometimes after several hours of going in and out of tower activity, my arm muscles hurt.

When I go places with alot of cell activity, it can make me generally ill and weak. That can then last several hours after going home and I will feel fatigued the rest of the day. I do alot of avoidance driving and riding. We avoid going thru the really bad areas. And like some here just mentioned, particular towers are worse than others. I suspect that one that I pass might be a Wi-max tower. Being that my area is hilly/mountainous, often one is eye-level with towers. It is my experience that this is not always bad! Here the towers high up on mtns are directed downward. I always thought the top of the highest mtn here would be hell. However, I finally checked this out and found it was the least noxious place I could find!

I find that going thru heavily wooded areas, esp pine forest areas, and hilly areas where ground naturally comes between me and the towers gives me brief periods of relief. I react almost instantaneously to the frequencies, unlike some here who say there is a lag in the time between approaching a tower and the symptoms of it. I also react instantaneously to going out of the frequency. However, if I am going in and out of alot of cell frequencies for long or I am in a particularly bad area rife with towers, then it gets chronic and I do not feel much relief from forest and hills (and buildings--they also can block emfs). I wrap my car sun visors in aluminum foil and sometimes use them to help shield me. This only helps for towers to the front or to the side of the car I am on. But sometimes that is all I need. If there is another tower opposite or to the back, however, the foil just compounds the problem and I leave the visor up.

As for cell phones, the pain is very similar. I get sharp side head pain and eye pain on the side the phone is on. Pain seems worse on right than left. I get some right side pain/right eye pain and forehead pain usually when I hold the phone on my left. Plus my left jaw and ear hurt badly, so I usually hold the phone on the right even tho that causes sharp pain. I might add that I have only actually used a cellphone a half dozen times. My parents bought me a phone to carry with me while driving. I ended up giving it back. The same hold true, tho, for anyone else using a cellphone near me. Pain is particularly bad in that situation if I am between the nearest tower and the person using the phone.

I react differently for microwave towers. And I seem to react badly in particular areas of iron ore deposits. (Magnetic fields higher there???) For both of these situations, I get chest tightness/pain, difficult breathing, head pain, blood pressure plummeting, blood sugar goes haywire, and I get an overall general really ill feeling--a sense of dread and doom and like I am going to die. If I am there more than a few minutes, I have an asthma attack and cannot breathe at all. I have some internal swelling like anaphylaxis, so now we know to turn around fast and get me away. I pass microwave towers all the time. If it is a matter of just passing one or two, this all passes quickly. But there are particular areas here where I cannot go because of the magnetic frequencies being so great. They seem to be pooled in areas of high iron content, for one. At least, this is the best reasoning my research into these areas has produced. After being near an area like this
for more than a few minutes, I am a vegetable for about 2 or 3 days later. I forgot to mention the confusion--like scrambled brains--and my fatigue is really bad for days.

I am a celiac and after going on the gf diet for about a year, I did not have any problems with cell towers. Back at that time (prior to 2000), I did not yet realize towers were the cause of my problems. So, to clarify, I had cell tower symptoms prior to 2000 and then I seemed to be ok or remarkably better after a while on the diet. Then in early 2006, I had a pesticide incident. The cell tower symptoms came back immediately. It was interesting, tho, that at first--the first month or two--I only got symptoms going into valleys. I finally realized I was reacting to cell towers behind us that my head was exposed to only on entering valleys. I can only imagine how many people there are out there going to neurologists and other docs for tests to find out what is wrong with them because they have no clue cell and microwave towers can cause these symptoms!

Okay, I pretty much hit the tower symptoms! Hope this answered your questions and didn't put you to sleep. ;) Understand tho, that my symptoms are not necessarily your symptoms. I know this because I read symptoms of others here are they are not always exactly like mine. Symptoms are similar, but I suspect some of this (like my lift jaw and ear pain), is our individual makeup and response to past injuries.

Write again if you need other info.

diane,

Hi! i also react to cellphone/towers & no one has written me back in my response(s) to this support grp, maybe you can relate,

what are your symptoms thanks

Hi, Bill,

I have never been able to wear a watch (since at least the age of 5) without breaking it, if it is touching my skin. I have broken watches in days of buying--they just stop. Don't have to sleep in it or shower with it. I can wear pendant watches or watches with leather wristbands that go under the watch successfully tho. And it doesn't matter whether it is battery or wind-up, got the same results. I also blow lightbulbs. If I am particularly ill this is really a problem. I have blown every light I tried to turn on in one day when I have been ill. I used to crash my computer alot and had problems in general with electronics malfunctioning. I try not to use electronics or computer when I am ill as I seem to affect and get affected by them more when I am ill.

I am affected worst by magnetic frequencies. I also react to cell towers and cell phones and digital equipment. I do not seem to be affected by light frequencies as others are here. Fluorescents only bother me usually when the ballast is bad and the lights are flickering. I do have problems with light flickering.

My 2 cents on this subject,
Diane

I met someone like that too. But as I kept listening the person eventually
volunteered that she showers and sleeps with her watch on.

Hi Bill,

Yes, I am prone to shocking others and getting shocks. I had also, on rare occasion years ago, gotten a visible spark (arcing) when approaching electric sockets to plug something in.

Yes, I have had both EKG and EEGs. The doctor did not mention abnormalities at the time. I had no idea I had ES then (prior to 2000). He did, tho, say he needed to run the tests more than once, which indicates to me something was not as expected. I have often wondered if I have a higher magnetic field than usual. Or my body might produce more electicity??? If one were under bodily stress (the body is stressed from illness), would this then make the body have more electrical charge? This is what seems to happen when I am particularly ill. I also wonder how these would be checked. Charles, do you know? I have too many irons in the fire right now to check on this, but would like to eventually.

Marc mentioned the street light phenomenon. That happened once to me, also, but I don't consider once enough to conclude I had anything to do with it. I did know a woman who said it happened often with her and I would believe that happens.

Thanks for the info on stopping watches etc. Curious if you
are also prone to electrostatic shocks? Or shocking others when
you touch them? It would be great to measure your electric fields
but not sure of a protocol. Have you ever had an EEG or EKG?

I think they call it SLIDER Phenomenon

There is an actual name for this: Street Light Interference (SLI).
