Woman allegic to mordern day technology

Debbie Bird and her husbandCan you imagine what it’s like to live without modern day technology like mobile phone, computers, microwave and even cars? This woman doesn’t have a choice as she is allergic to them.

The 39-year-old is so sensitive to the electromagnetic field (emf) or 'smog' created by computers, mobile phones, microwave ovens and even some cars, that she develops a painful skin rash and her eyelids swell to three times their size if she goes near them.

As a consequence, Mrs Bird, a health spa manager, has transformed her home into an EMF-free zone to try and stay healthy. The walls are all covered in special carbon paint, the windows have a protective film on them and she and her husband, Tony, 45, even sleep under a silver-plated mosquito net to deflect the radiowaves.

Does this mean that modern day technology is harming our bodies?

Doctors say there is little scientific evidence to back up a link between EMF and poor health. They claim the symptoms, often attributed to flu or viruses, are psychosomatic.

But campaigners disagree. They reckon around 500 people are already being treated for ES and as many as five per cent of the population could be affected.

Rod Read, director of Electro-Sensitivity UK, said: 'I have seen hundreds of people who exhibit symptoms they directly attribute to the electrical items around them.

But it is a politically incorrect illness, the Government or electronic companies don't want people thinking their mobile phones or microwaves are dangerous.'

Electrosensitivity or ES is officially recognised in Sweden and Professor Olle Johansson of the Karolinska Institute has published peer reviewed research studies on the change to mast cells in the skin under stimulation from elctro magnetic frequencies.

There are numerous other studies from reputable international scientists who have proved the link between biological damage and EMFs.

The problem is governments or electronic companies don't want people thinking their mobile phones or microwaves are dangerous, hence they do not help to create awareness of this illness!
