Are you worried about wireless radiation?

A Panorama investigation has highlighted potential risks from wireless (Wi-Fi) networks. The programme found some classrooms had radio frequency radiation levels three times those of a mobile phone mast. While mobile masts are not permitted to be sited near schools, 70% of secondaries and 50% of primaries use wireless networks.

The levels are still 600 times below the Government's safety limits and the official line says there are no risks of adverse health effects. However, some scientists on the Panorama programme linked similar radiation levels with an increase in cases of cancer, short-term memory loss and lower concentration capacity.

Do you think it is time the Government held a proper investigation? Are you happy about your children being exposed to the radiation in schools? Is it time to unplug the Wi-Fi transmitter in your home? Have your say.

    Believe it or not only 1.6% of wireless radiation will affect you and that is because our thick skulls, the human and most animal skulls are thickened from half an inch to one inch, I work with wireless internet all day and keep at a safe position, well if I stared into the laptop over the keyboard permanently, my eyes wouldn't adjust correctly, being so close to a 32-bit graphic screen, even though there is no difference.
    My processor, wireless and bluetooth devices are under the laptop's monitor.

    Wireless radiation only affects, mostly people with thin skulls (this is nothing to do with intelligence) and absorb more radiation than others.

    Here is my advice if you need to stay on your wireless computer most of the day, on your lap or not:

    * Have at least 1 to 2 drinks every hour to keep the chemicals in the brain balanced.
    * Make sure you get up and walk away from the computer (this also prevents DVT).
    For DVT you may also need to swing your legs about a bit while on your computer, if you get itchy or saw, refrain from usage.
    * Any headaches, itchiness, saw-ness or any other annoying sensation, heat, tiredness, headaches or migraines, etc. Please move around away from the wireless hotspot for at least a half-an-hour break, you should feel rejuvenation.
    * Please report any sickness to a doctor, concerning Wi-Fi radiation (and/or even DVT, etc).
    Thanks and regards.

    They irradiate our food, the next step is our kids. It's supposed to retard deterioration. Somehow, I'm very uncomfortable with the use of words like retard and deterioration.

    to Mary Duffy from Leeds...stand a spiny cactus plant close to your pc, sounds a bit like a hoax does'nt it? but I was told the spines collect the radiation given out, and I feel a lot better since I got one.This tip was given to me from a friend in America, where it seems to be a well known thing.Ignore the sceptics and try it.
