Woman Says Her Wi-Fi Connection Is Making Her Sick
CBS New York ^ | 05/20/15

Posted on 05/21/2015 6:30:30 AM PDT by Enlightened1

From using cell phones and computers to watching movies online, wireless technology has made life easier. But now, some say there is a serious downside.

As CBS2’s Maurice Dubois explained, there are those who claim that exposure to wi-fi is making people sick, and some people don’t even know it.

“Brain fog. That’s my worst problem. A brain fog,” Suzanne Hoyt said.

Hoyt said that nothing prepared her for the rush of symptoms that she suddenly developed.

“Headaches, perspiration, pain in my jaws and my heart. It’s like physical expansion of the heart,” she said.

Hoyt said it all started when she installed wi-fi throughout her apartment.

“I started to be very uncomfortable, and I didn’t know what it was,” she said.

With wi-fi everywhere, from parks to restaurants and taxis it turns out Hoyt is not alone.

“It was like a deep burning sensation in my face, in my nose, my jaw, it was like a deep burning sensation,” she said.

It’s called wi-fi sensitivity, and doctors say it’s a very real condition with serious consequences.

Dr. David Carpenter, an Environmental Scientist and expert on wi-fi’s effects said the scientific link between wi-fi and health is clearly emerging.

“There is a body of evidence that is strong. it’s not 100 percent understood, but it’s strong evidence that this is a real syndrome that causes real harm to real people,” he said.

Dr. Carpenter said it’s a significant problem for about 5 percent of the population, many of them have no idea that wi-fi is to blame.

“They walk around feeling ill and they don’t know what to do about it,” he said.

Other doctors counter that the evidence connecting wi-fi to illness just isn’t there.

“It’s a psychological phenomenon,” neuropsychologist Dr. William Barr said.

You might try listening to the episode, so you would actually know his expertise is from military training and research. Your posting history is quite revealing ... And now you’re trying to dismiss this line of enquiry with the same technique you use on other threads to cause dissonance. By what screen name were you previously posting at Free republic?

“you would actually know his expertise is from military training and research”

I looked for any verification of his claimed “military training and research” and there is none to be found, and not even any evidence of the outfit he claimed to work for actually existing. So, unless you have any actual documentation to verify that, I have to conclude he’s just making that up.

“Your posting history is quite revealing ... And now you’re trying to dismiss this line of enquiry with the same technique you use on other threads to cause dissonance.”

LOL! Someone bursts your conspiracy bubble by simply asking for the bare minimum documentation, so they must be part of the conspiracy! Classic paranoid thinking.

“By what screen name were you previously posting at Free republic?”

This has always been my screen name, I’ve never been banned and I’ve never had any other account.

You getting offended by “insults” is truly rich, when you just tried to imply that I’m a retread and a troll, with zero evidence. Don’t want to be insulted? Then don’t post junk science and toss out insults when other FReepers ask you to back up your nonsense assertions.

Having been insulted more than once by a negative naybob, here is the curriculum vitae of Dr. Barrie Trower found easily on the Web, whom the poster sought to dismiss as a liar and kook and thus dismiss me by association, serving some agenda only the poster seems to cherish:

I trained at the Governments Microwave Warfare establishment in 60's. I worked with the underwater bomb disposal unit, which used microwaves. In the 70's I helped de-brief spies trained in microwave warfare. My first degree is in Physics (I specialised in microwaves) My second degree is a research degree. I have a teaching diploma in human physiology. I teach advanced physics and mathematics at South Dartmoor College. Author of the Tetra Report for the Police Federation. I predicted the illnesses, which the officers now complain of. I predicted the illness's the residents now complain of. These are illness's that occurred before my report was published and cannot be psychosomatic. At a conference in Birmingham I said: "This Government, Industry and Government Scientists will be responsible for more deaths (of civilians) in peace time than all the terrorist organizations ever." The evidence I have is showing this is correct. I put my money where my mouth is and stand my ground.

Some posters at FR are not just posters, they work for an agenda ... an agenda converse to Freerepublic.

Are referring to ‘posting history’ as something you want to reference about posts on this thread? Or others not connected with this thread? Just asking.

And Barrie Trower has given testimony under pena;lty of perjury to courts. Here is a link to one case in Oregon:

Wow, you really think the mods are going to care that you got “insulted” because you’re posting junk science from a non-credentialed, non-expert and people called you out on it? Get a grip!

Anyway, let’s review those “credentials”:

“I trained at the Governments Microwave Warfare establishment in 60’s.” - No government agency by this name appears to exist in any verifiable form. The only references to anything by that name come from Trower himself.

“In the 70’s I helped de-brief spies trained in microwave warfare.” - No real citation offered for this, so there is no way to verify it.

“My first degree is in Physics” - Seems to be telling the truth about this, but doesn’t specify the institution so not really verifiable.

“My second degree is a research degree.” - Research degree in what exactly, and from where? Trower doesn’t say, so there is no way to verify.

“I have a teaching diploma in human physiology.” - Again, no insitution specified, so not really verifiable. As he is a high school level teacher, I think we’d have to assume that this was a diploma to qualify him to teach high school-level physiology, which doesn’t qualify one as any kind of expert on biology, physiology or medicine.

“I teach advanced physics and mathematics at South Dartmoor College.” - “South Dartmoor College” is not a university, but a middle school/high school. So he is not teaching “advanced physics”, because they do not teach “advanced physics” in high schools or middle schools. I think we can safely say he is being purposefully deceptive here.

“Author of the Tetra Report for the Police Federation.” - The “Police Federation” is not a scientific journal, so this isn’t really a credential worth mentioning, but I guess it’s all he has got. Surely if he had ever authored a peer-reviewed paper, he would mention that instead, no?

If you think that people around here are going to be impressed by that list of “qualifications”, I think you are going to be sorely disappointed.

“Some posters at FR are not just posters, they work for an agenda ... an agenda converse to Freerepublic.”

Are you talking about yourself here? Posting junk science and attacking people who question it (and calling in the mods to try to suppress such questions) might make this site look pretty bad.

For anyone who is brave enough to step past the arrogant, self-aggrandizing negative naybobbery, here is part one of a two part presentation Barrie Trower gave at an international conference in 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xgJmeQaQmc

Here is another very medically related video with Dr Magda Havas: [[ Dr. Havas is an associate professor of Environmental & Resource Studies at Trent University where she teaches and does research on the biological effects of environmental contaminants. Her research deals with the health effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic energy at the extremely low frequency range associated with electricity (60 Hertz) and at the radio frequency range commonly associated with wireless telecommunication. Dr. Havas is particularly interested in monitoring exposure of the population in urban centres to radio frequency radiation and power-frequency fields. She is the author of numerous works on the subject. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Toronto, completed Post-Doctoral research at Cornell University, and taught at the University of Toronto before going to Trent University in Peterborough, Canada. ]] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYjAAqUfHtE>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYjAAqUfHtE

Well...here's a simple fix for Suzanne Hoyt. She should turn off her wi-fi. Maybe that won't eliminate the exposure but it should produce a reduction in symptoms. If not, then it is likely something else causing her maladies.

Simple troubleshooting technique.
