EHS: Symptoms and Support
Electrohypersensivity (EHS), originally known as microwave sickness, is receiving international recognition as an emerging public health problem. The Canadian Human Rights Commission, the Americans with Disabilities Act and our Canadian Government now recognize EHS as an Environmental Sensitivity, and it is now recognized in Sweden and Norway as a Functional Impairment.
Over 3,000 doctors agree, " . . . One can no longer evade these pulsed microwaves. They heighten the risk of already present chemical/physical influences, stress the body's immune system, and can bring the body's still-functioning regulatory mechanisms to a halt. Pregnant women, children, adolescents, elderly and sick people are especially at risk." Freiburger Appeal, signed by over 3,000 German Medical Doctors
The damaging health effects of electromagnetic frequency (EMF) and radio frequency (RF) fields - neurological, respiratory and cardiac, as well as others of a more general nature - have been known for decades, but with the explosion of modern wireless devices and infrastructure, ill health effects are being felt by more people every day.
Those for whom symptoms are more subtle do not usually, in the early stages of reactivity, make the RF connection. For those who already know they are electrohypersensitive, this is a life-affecting reality.
The Power Watch Handbook states that between 3% and 35% of our population are sensitive in some way to electormagnetic frequencies. The likelihood will only grow with continued exposure and time.

Doctor's Information Package
Addressed to Medical Professionals. Useful to all. Updated May 1, 2013
The following package is for those who wish to approach their doctors with information regarding the possible health risks from non-thermal microwave radiation. It contains links organized into specific health effect categories. These links can be printed out according to personal areas of need or concern, and used to start a dialogue with doctors who may not as yet have associated certain health conditions with EMF or RF exposure.
The introductory letter on pages 1 and 2 contains a link to the entire list, and may be useful to your doctor as a reference tool.
"Dear Medical Professional:
"Your patient has asked us for support in providing you with information regarding the
possible health risks from non-thermal microwave radiofrequency electromagnetic
radiation, recently reclassified by the WHO/IARC as a Class 2B, possible human
carcinogen.
"This WHO risk category also includes lead, DDT, chloroform, and dioxane, and is
relevant to all wireless devices emitting radiofrequency electromagnetic fields,
including cordless phones, cell phones, IPads, Wi-Fi routers, wireless games, baby
monitors, and smart meters . . .
"Many doctors have already given medical advice to their patients by way of a
medical letter or note on a prescription form stating that the patient should avoid, for
medical reasons, living in a residence or residential complex at which a wireless
meter is operating in order to maintain their health or avoid aggravating a medical
condition. This medical advice stating the health condition and advising the patient
that they should avoid ongoing exposure to wireless radiofrequency and smart
meter emissions will allow your patient to participate in the Human Rights Action
currently underway. We are hopeful that the individual's right to protect their health
as advised by their medical doctor will be upheld by the Human Rights Tribunal, and
this forced exposure within their own home to undesirable microwave
radiofrequency emissions will be replaced with reasonable and respectful
accommodation by BC Hydro . . . "
