Hazards of Electromagnetic Pollution - ‘Electromagnetic Load’ a
Hidden Factor in Many Illnesses

Thomas M. Rau, MD, Medical Director of the Paracelsus Clinic
February 10th, 2009. Dr. Thomas Rau, Medical Director of the world
renowned Paracelsus Clinic in Lustmühle, Switzerland says he is
convinced ‘electromagnetic loads’ lead to cancer, concentration
problems, ADD, tinnitus, migraines, insomnia, arrhythmia,
Parkinson’s and even back pain. At Paracelsus (
www.paracelsus.ch),
cancer patients are now routinely educated in electromagnetic field
remediation strategies and inspectors from the Geopathological
Institute of Switzerland are sent to patients’ homes to assess
electromagnetic field exposures.
Of note, Dr. Rau says a strategy to consider for those experiencing
‘electrical sensitivity’ symptoms is to remove the electromagnetic
‘hot spot’ in the head created by the presence of metal fillings.
Concern is thus not only for the ‘neurotoxic’ aspect of mercury in
fillings, an increasingly understood hazard, but because fillings
themselves act as antennas in the presence of electromagnetic fields
from cell phones and cell towers, wi-fi networks, portable phones, and
other sources of radiofrequency radiation.
Rau says the removal of dental fillings can be an important early step
in reducing electrical sensitivity, allowing some people to live in
homes they otherwise could not tolerate.
Cultures have shown beneficial bacteria grows more slowly in the
presence of electromagnetic fields, says Rau, allowing pathological
organisms to dominate. Thus, a strategy with electrically sensitive
patients, or with those facing chronic conditions, is the aggressive
supplementation with probiotics and other Biological Medicine
approaches to balance intestinal flora. Many people with chronic
infections likely linked to EMF exposures, such as Lyme Disease, are
symptom- free after an aggressive microorganism rebalancing program.
Electrical sensitivity—originally known as radio wave sickness—is
a sometimes debilitating experience created by these and other
disregulating effects of electromagnetic fields. Linked to many acute
and chronic illness conditions, electrical sensitivity is a serious
emerging public health issue globally and a subject in which most
doctors have no training.
A Petition to Congress, created by
www.ElectromagneticHealth.org is
now circulating on the internet, requesting Congress 1) mandate the
FCC lower exposure guidelines to reflect the large body of science
showing biological effects at exposures much lower than current
standards, 2) repeal Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of
1996, which rescinded state and local governments right to resist
towers on health or environmental grounds, 3) stop the roll out of the
Wi-Max network until Congress better understands the potential health
consequences, and 4) accommodate citizens unable to function
adequately in high EMF environments, including forbidding cell towers
on school properties.
Exposing children in schools to radiation, known to impair brain
function and learning, Rau describes as “criminal”. He says, “It
is unethical to expose children to electromagnetic load in this way.
We know that power stations for electromagnetic waves like mobile
phones are hurting the brains of children, so to put such stations
into schools is really…very, very, very bad. Rau says, the question
is, “Does the school, or does the society, really want to have
intelligent, well-educated children, or not?” He says, “If you
install mobile phone towers, which radiate to the children, their
intelligence, their brain capacity, decreases. You will have more ADD
children, you will have less function of the brain, which in the long
term reflects on the intelligence of the children, of the possibility
to really teach children, and in the long term, the more this
overcomes society, the more we will have dumb children.”
The reality of the health consequences of electromagnetic radiation
eventually will have to be faced, and this will only happen with
active pressure on Congress. It is estimated that 3-8% of populations
in developed countries experience serious electrohypersensitivity
symptoms today, and 35% experience mild symptoms. With increasing
electromagnetic field exposures, these numbers, along with the
suffering involved for people who are impacted, and the health care
costs involved, are bound to go up.
