Hello Everyone,

As some of you already know, there are several students in Mountain
View School in Collingwood, Ontario (Canada) who are complaining about
ill health after the school installed WiFi. Rodney, a concerned
father, invited me to give a talk in the Community this past week and
the room was packed with parents, health care professionals, people
from the community, and the media so I hope it will generate more
interest once the articles begin to appear.

See video clip of interviews with some of the students at the school.

cordless (DECT) phone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EI9fZX4iww

What is disturbing is that several students have complained about ill
health, two students are now on heart medication and one young girl is
scheduled for heart surgery on Monday June 14th. A student in a
Toronto school (also with WiFi) fainted while standing in the hallway
near a WiFi antenna. The students with heart conditions have been
diagnosed with one of the following: vaso vagal syndrome,
supraventicular tachycardia (SVT), or Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW)
Syndrome (abnormal connections or accessory pathways in the heart) a
form of atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia (AVRT).

Symptoms for SVT include: dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain,
a pounding sensation in the throat or neck, weakness, fatigue,
lightheadedness, fainting (especially in the case of underlying heart
disease) and resemble EHS symptoms.

Prevelance rate for tachycardia is about 1.6% to 2% for adults.

Prevelance for WPW is 0.15% in children. See:

Arrhythmias in Children, by R Prem Sekar. Indian Pacing Electrophysiol

I recently heard that all the schools in my district (Kawartha Pine
Ridge) are going to have WiFi installed soon. Where are these schools
getting information that this technology is safe? I find this
situation most disturbing. If these heart conditions are related to
WiFi then I think the schools and those who make the statement that
this radiation is safe (Health Canada and local Health Boards) are
culpable.

Have received emails from several of the people who attended the
presentation this past week and learned that some parents are also
having heart palpitations and rapid heart rate because of WiFi in the
home. They didn't know this was contributing to their heart problems
and have, since the talk, disconnected their wireless devices.

Why are doctors not better informed? Anyone who suddenly experiences
a heart irregularity should be asked some specific questions about
whether or not they have wireless routers, cordless phones, energy
efficient CFL bulbs, nearby cell towers, etc. as routine questioning.

The heart problem (arrhythmia or tachycardia), which can be easily
measured, may be a very important test for those who are EHS. Please
spread the word and ask your friends if they experience symptoms of an
irregular or racing heart and if they do ask them when it started,
what changed at that time, if it is occassional-when they experience
it and what they are doing about it. The more information we can
gather the more impact it is going to have on school boards. Getting
rid of WiFi is more difficult than preventing it from being allowed
into a school in the first place.

Please distribute this email to your friends and let's get a better
understanding as to how widespread this heart problem is and the
degree to which it relates to wireless technology and electrosmog
exposure.

Thanks for your help,
-magda

p.s. If you or someone you know is experiencing heart problems, which
may be related to electrosmog, please contact me with your symptoms
and your experience and send a copy to: info@safeschool.ca
