Electrically Hypersensitive Individuals
Join Hands Across the World
With global industrialization has come the need for
an international tangle of electric power transmission and distribution
lines that now form a global web. Our increased dependence on electricity
and telecommunications has forced the proliferation of electronic products,
power distribution systems and radio frequency transmissions.
People from around the world have developed disabling
and life threatening injuries from exposure to the hazardous level of electromagnetic
fields (EMF) radiation permeating our environment as a result of our dependence
on electricity and electronic products. However it has become apparent
that governments and manufacturers have not yet begun to take the issue
of electrical hypersensitivity seriously.
The many electrically hypersensitive individuals
around the world join hands to tell you - this is a problem. Continuing
to ignore it will not make it go away!
Government and Regulatory Bodies - we ask you
to focus on this issue. A large number of people are being injured each
year by the continued bombardment of EMF radiation. Just as you enforce
health and safety rules and regulations for other hazardous materials and
environmental pollutants, so should you investigate and regulate hazardous
EMF emissions.
Manufacturers - We call on you to take advantage
of available technology to reduce, mitigate and where possible, eliminate
unnecessary EMF radiation from your products. The technology is there -
use it! Where technology is not available, we implore you to develop technologies
that address this matter. This is an issue that demands research.
A world wide consortium of organizations are available
to aid in the dissemination of information on this serious health threat
and to provide educational and support material to hypersensitive individuals.
We stand united. We ask for your support.

to contact any of the following organizations.
