There
is a tradeoff to everything it seems. You can have more fuel efficient
cars, but they won’t be as big or as powerful. You can have a great
looking body, but you must work at it almost daily. The same appears to
be true for our wireless networks, it seems. Everyone loves wireless. No
more bulky, ugly cables to cart around or to snake across the floor.
However, it looks like there is a danger to this wireless technology
that we have not been paying attention to.
I don’t get it, what’s the problem?
Wireless
routers and modems send signals to your computers, though the walls of
your house, via electromagnetic radiation. That’s right, radiation. If
it’s going right through the walls of your house, what do you think it’s
doing when it comes to your body? If you have a wireless router in your
home or office, then you are living in a dangerous pool of massive
radiation exposure. Read also

One
of the problems with this also, is that no one seems to shut their
Wi-Fi off. EVER. So you are exposed 24/7/365. Let’s not forget that your
neighbors, more than likely, also have Wi-Fi. So you are virtually
surrounded by a massive wave of EMF (Electro Magnetic Frequency) over
exposure.
Haven’t they been tested as safe?
Well,
sort of. Routers emit electromagnetic radiation in the low gigahertz
level, considered safe to a point. The problem is that these EMF’s are
not tested, nor meant to be used 24/7. In home or office environments,
Wi-Fi modems transmit radio signals in roughly the same frequency as
when microwaves cook food.
So is it cooking me?
Not
exactly but there are studies that show that prolonged exposure to the
EMF waves that Wi-Fi routers create can cause brain damage, memory loss,
even tumors. This low frequency EMF’s seem to disturb the human body’s
own energy field which can lead to fatigue, cancer, possibly even DNA
changes.
Is it making me sick?
A number of people
claim that they are having health related issued due to exposure to
Wi-Fi. The symptoms are numerous and wide ranging from irregular
heartbeats, dizziness, headaches, poor concentration, digestive
problems, anxiety or depression, and/or excessive fatigue. Many people
claim they received immediate relief when they turned off their Wi-Fi or
left an area full of Wi-Fi signals.
Take Note.
There
was a very interesting study that was recently completed in Denmark.
Danish students took 400 cress seeds (cress is a very fast grown herb)
and split them between two rooms. Both sets of seeds received the same
amount of care, except that in one room, the seeds were placed next to
two Wi-Fi routers. 12 days later, the seeds that were in the room with
the Wi-Fi signals had failed to sprout while the others sprouted in the
normal fashion.
Perhaps it’s time we made ourselves aware of the
dangers of technology that surround us. Talk with friends and neighbors
about the dangers of these massive energy fields. Hook up that Ethernet
cable and turn off the router when not in use. Your brain and body will
thank you.
