Well that’s something! All I can say is that at last people may stop looking at me as if I am losing my marbles. Back in 1990s, I was feeling quite ill and tests from my GP showed up nothing. I went to an 'alternative' GP who was testing for sensitivities, and we found that I was 'reacting' to a variety of electrical gadgets that were available back then. I stopped using my battery wristwatch for instance, and got a wind-up one, and also used less of my then 'analogue' mobile phone and things improved a lot.

I think we all tend to forget feeling poorly when we feel right again, and I am no exception, and when digital phone came out, I got one for work – still a weak signal and managed it OK hands free and it was only on if I needed it – pretty useless really, because people couldn’t contact me with it swiyched off!

A few years later I got a smart phone (4G) - and things got pretty bad again so I abandoned it and kept it in a faraday cage for use only when needed to signing in for on-line bank accounts etc. If I forget and leave it on, I get bad headaches. The same with house wi-fi which is permanently turned off unless absolutely needed for a few moments - which I have reduces by wiring everything through LAN cables. I have also purchased an EMF tester which also detects magnetic fields, which is handy to have because without thinking again, I purchased a Lazy Boy recliner chair which gives a reading that is 'off the scale' when plugged into the mains. I have attached it to a switch, so when I recline it, I can immediately switch it off.

Perhaps people will now stop thinking that I am OTT.

Gee whiz! Just when a global transfection experiment is "coincidentally" correlating with increases in cancer and reduced fertility, the timing of this "revelation" can neatly muddy the waters and divert the blame onto us for our addiction to mobile devices and WiFi wireless. How convenient! Not that this EMF isn't yet another way to cull and control us, along with toxic air, water and food, but how clever for our trusted WHO to "discover" this right now, after years in which scientists have been screaming their warnings to deaf ears. The Safe&Effectives remain pristine.

Darn. Just lost another really good conspiracy theory.

I used too speculate that some day smart phones and EMF radiation in general would become the Tobacco of the future. It will be all "nothing to see here" till the lawyers figure out how to get massive class action lawsuit settlements (primarily for themselves) and the mostly lawyer legislators have figured out and codified how to indemnify the bad actors. You know, the ones who put cell towers and the like right next to schools so the kiddies can get more for longer KNOWING the hazards that may result. That sort of thing.

Once the lawyers are paid, the legislators get their kick backs and the worst of the bad actors are protected we can declare the problem solved. The problem of course will remain. May in fact continue to get exponentially worse. But the important part will have been addressed. The proper people will have been paid and protected., except of course, the lab rats. In other words we'll witness the usual arc of solution. Same as we're seeing in mRNA. No big settlements to the lawyers on that one yet (to my knowledge). But all the protections are in place for the windfall profiteers. And the mRNA project itself is still full speed ahead DESPITE the mounting evidence. In fact mRNA is so full speed ahead they're getting ready to deploy self amplifying versions of it. In the perverse clown world of tech some times it seems like the paradigm is more bad is better. It's almost like the not out of the question possibility of issuing newborns microwave tracking bracelets so they can get their fair dose of EMF and be tracked at the same time. You know, to protect them.

Yes, I'm on the exact same wavelength as you (pun intended). I've been speculating since the early-aughts that cellphones will be the new version of cigarettes, in which future generations (assuming there are some) look back and say, "You millennials were nuts! You were holding that device to your head all those years and basking in wifi router radiation all day, leaving the modem on at night!" It'll come back to haunt us for sure.

All the more reason to do away with cell phones, "chip" us all and keep us from talking to each other, sharing nefarious conspiracy theories. Not that the phones could possibly be made not harmful......

"Not that the phones could possibly be made not harmful."

Sounds dangerously similar to the truthful "unavoidably unsafe" observations and arguments that drove the 1986 vax indemnification laws for pharma. Followed by an orgy of releasing ever more and ever more dangerous injections. Nothing drives cowboy behavior more effectively than dismissal of ALL liability.

If we get similar indemnity for EMF/microwave devices and telecom (would not be surprised if we do) the day may come when we can roast hot dogs at known local hot spots. I'm exaggerating. But only a little. Nothing drives excess like complete lack of accountability.

While WHO may have made a smallish u-turn on this subject, in the next breath it will declare a worldwide pandemic and seek to blast poison mRNA injections into every human on the planet IT wants to control via its pandemic treaty sponsored by the gates of Hades.

American cities are now riddled with 5G towers (and if not, certainly 4G antennas around every corner). It's really sad to think how increasingly unlivable the American city is now – however just a few decades ago there was little to no EMF in metropolitan areas, but stay in an AirBnB and you'll be surrounded by hundreds of within-range wifi router signals too.

There's never been any doubt in my mind that cellular/wifi is bad for us. Even just holding my iPhone when it's transmitting data feels hot, fuzzy, and dries out my hand – can't possibly be healthy; keep that thing at a distance at all times as a result.

Excellent article Gillian. A minor correction on the BT Smart Hub 2 - the WiFi can be turned off at the Hub, but you also need to opt out of the public BT WiFi on BT's website. What they don't tell you is that the Hub also emits a DECT phone signal, and there is no way to do disable that.

Thanks, Grahame! I'll see if the original can be corrected! What is the difference in type & frequency between the Wifi and Dect signal?

DECT operates in the 1.8 - 1.9 GHz range to avoid interference with WiFi and other stuff operating in the 2.4.GHz band. It doesn't have the same 10Hz pulsing as WiFi, it's more of a constant drone.

Yes, mine wi fi is turned off unless needed. But we upgraded to use Internet phone. My tester is not showing much of a problem, with very low WEF readings. And I keep it away from my desk. I am retired, and I have noticed that is the phone is turned off - there is little to no, EMF emitting from if I hold the tester inches from the hub.

Authorities validate their endorsement of industry standarts for EMF exposure margins this way: Almost everyone will attest the apparent harmlessness of their gadgets - so "... this studies can't be anything else than disinformation!"

That's why we keep looking at their scientific method therein

with this stupid glass-eyed expression:

A pound of pork meat next to that router hardly heats up against the control in a microwave.

Our brains creators made a flawless, a marvellous masterpiece in shielding it against the full spectrum of natural hazards prevalent on Earth' theater.

They left one Achilles heel open for its designated inhabitants:

The potentiality for gaining control of the function itself.

All questions in one ultimate test -

how smart is that.
