Allergy Technology, Technician Computer Choose Living in Forest

A man from England had a strange disease called electromagnetic hypersensitivity. As a result, he felt pain when exposed to a wide range of wave radiation from wireless networks (WiFi), mobile phones, microwave ovens, and its base stations.

Ironically, the man named Phil Inkley had a computer technician and audio are often working around computers and other technology items. All that changed when the wireless communication began to flourish.

So to be near objects that transmits electromagnetic waves, this 36-year-old man experienced a wide range of disease symptoms, such as severe headache, irregular heartbeat, insomnia, convulsions, and nosebleeds.

The doctor who visited worry, Phil had a tumor or bleeding in the brain and suggest the scanning head by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, Phil refused on the grounds of such scanning can make pain worse.

Can not stand the pain, Phil chose exile to the woods in Hampshire, England. He lived in a caravan purchased jointly by his friends. "I think that this is the only way to control pain, the pain and save my life," he said.

Seven years ago, Phil worked as an audio engineer and music producer. "Since childhood I liked the technology. I used to fix a computer belonging to relatives and friends. Everything is fine until the emerging wireless technologies."

Because of his illness, Phil does not get in touch with friends or doing other activities like going to a pub in the city because a lot of people who use cell phones. WiFi network was implemented in many places like cafes.

"The hard part (of life in the forest) is the loss of my friends, no social life or love life. I live in isolation."

Phil is not the only one who experienced it. Two French woman named Anne Bernadette Touloumond Cautain and lived in a cave for three years because of suffering from electromagnetic hypersensitivity.

In England, electromagnetic hypersensitivity has not been accepted as a medical condition because some parties are still skeptical about its existence. However, several studies have found that as many as 3-5 per cent of community members are sensitive to electromagnetic waves.

Small portion of which are very sensitive. Meanwhile, as many as 20 to 30 percent of the population may be suffering from the symptoms and not really know.

Doctors Andrew Tresidder of Somerset also suffered the same thing. He is sensitive to electromagnetic waves, although the disease has not been medically approved.

He said many scientific studies have found that electromagnetic waves have negative effects on biological systems, including humans. However, government agencies today called still think that the disease is caused by psychological factors.

"In the next five years, maybe we'll look back and realize that a health catastrophe has occurred just in front of our noses," he said.
