Woozy from wifi? ‘Electrosensitive’ say modern life makes them ill

Our modern day life is completely surrounded by technology emitting electromagnetic waves throughout the air through each and everyone of us all day long. There are people out there who say they are actually sensitive to the electromagnetic waves. They say that they are "electrosensitve." This is defined as a disorder that causes headaches, nausea, fatigue and even fainting when exposed to too much electromagnetic radiation. However this condition is not recognized as a medical diagnosis but is a big concern for many people in Europe. Bo and Sonja Fredburg live in Varmland, Sweden. This town is out of the reach of any cell phone tower, radio tower, or just any tower that could emit any sort of  radiation. They live without electricity which means no TV, no telephone, no lights, and no refrigerator. They said that when the camera crew came in to get a short video they immediately felt a burning sensation on their skin from the radiation. There are many psychologists and neurologists say that it is simply something that is in their head. The crew even did their own little test and left some of their own cell phones on and they found that overall they couldn't tell that there were any cell phones on in the room other than simply guessing. There are also some neurologists who believe that there are long term effects of of electromagnetic radiation like luekemia, brain cancer and some other neurological diseases.

This story really made me think if there a disorder out there where the radiation from our radios, cell phones and other pieces of technology would cause people harm. Based on this article and what this TV crew say with this couple I really don't believe that there is such a disease. I think that this is simply something that is in their head and they are simply imagining that the radiation is hurting them. I mean really, some of that crew left their phones on to even see if they would notice and they had no clue that there was a single phone on in that room. I think that those who say that they get headaches from technology are just simply stressed about things in their life and some times that maybe from some piece of technology so they simply blame it on that because they just won't come to the realization that they are just stressed. So overall I really do not believe that there is such a disorder that people could be harmed by electromagnetic radiation.
