France Publishes Law on Electromagnetic Waves
The French Journal Officiel has published a law aiming to protect the general public from excessive electromagnetic waves generated by technologies relying on radio frequencies. These include base stations, mobile phones, tablets, and WiFi. The National Agency for Health, Food, Environmental and Work Safety is mandated to periodically evaluate the potential risks and consequences of exposure to electromagnetic fields.
This law also bans advertising which targets children under 14 and bans Wi-Fi in all establishments which provide care, resting and general activities for children under 3. Additionally, in order to reduce exposure to radio frequency radiation, manufacturers or sellers of cell phones are required to mention the use of hand-free kits, clearly and legibly in their advertisements. Finally, regarding persons suffering from electro-hypersensitivity, the government under article 8, will have to submit a report to the Parliament on the issue within a year from the promulgation of this law.

EESC EHS Opinion - plenary vote January 2015
The Section for Transport, Energy, Infrastructure and the Information Society (TEN) of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has now produced it's final draft opinion that we reported on recently. It would have represented a giant step forward in the recognition of electromagnetic hypersensitivity and the need in society to dramatically alter our approach to supporting sufferers of the condition. However today, the 21st January 2015, a Counter-Opinion was proposed and voted on before the EHS Opinion and the Counter Opinion was passed by plenary vote. That means that the good TEN 559 EHS Opinion was dismissed.

By treating the inflammatory symptoms of depression — rather than the neurological ones — researchers and doctors are opening up an exciting new dimension in the fight against what has become a global epidemic.
-----------------
Is Wireless Radiation causing the Inflammation / Depression?
Here are three plausible causes of the global depression epidemic
1. We know that microwave radiation opens the blood / brain barrier, is it allowing toxins to enter the brain, which then causes the inflammation and depression?
2. We know that cell phones held near the head can cause microwave radiation to penetrate the brain and cause a heating effect. Is that heating causing the brain to be inflamed, resulting in depression?
3. We know that people are being exposed to powerful radiation from wireless devices and antennas for many hours each day. We know that this is having many different adverse biological effects on the body. Are these biological effects causing inflammation, which then causes depression?

In 2009, three men got their hands on one of San Francisco's smart parking meters and in three days were able to break into its electronic system and figure out how to use the meter without paying. The hackers weren't thieves but part of a group of security researchers who wanted to find the weaknesses in this promising new technology.
Experts say the reason security is a problem lies in the tiny computers embedded in the devices. Their processing power is limited compared to a laptop or even a smartphone, and there's often only rudimentary security software in place to protect the data. When these devices are connected to the Internet, hackers can exploit the security flaws online and commit fraud or steal data from afar.
----------------------------------------------------------------
According to data compiled by to Ontario Auditor General Bonni Lysyk, buildings where the meters are grouped together can be vulnerable, due to wires getting crossed.

Smart meter problems force Balwyn North family out of home
John Aparo and Virginia Lo Giudice and their two sons, Alexander and Lucas, said they were left with no choice but to move after their smart meter was installed near her bedroom.
"I started having heart palpitations and not being able to sleep," Mrs Lo Giudice said. "It would take me an hour to get to sleep and then I was constantly waking up every couple of hours.
"I also had nausea during the morning and headaches, was always fatigued and had no energy, and just had a general feeling of being unwell."

The contagious thought that could kill you
Today, the nocebo is perhaps most visible in such controversial disorders as "wind turbine syndrome" (sickness and insomnia from wind farms, most common in Canada) and "electro-sensitivity" – an allergic reaction to mobile phone signals and wi-fi. Some sufferers even resort to sleeping in metal cocoons to avoid the constant ringing in their ears. Yet dozens of experiments have shown that people are just as likely to report the same symptoms when they are exposed to a sham transmitter that doesn't actually emit any electromagnetic waves.
Complaint to BBC about the above article
Type of complaint: BBC Online
What is your complaint about: Other BBC Online Website
Complaint category: Factual error or inaccuracy
Contacted us before: No
Complaint title: Poor quality, false reporting
Complaint description:
This article, 'Contagious Thought' is not up to the normal standard of BBC information in many ways but I am most concerned about the falsehood that the writer insinuates about the medical condition known as electrical sensitivity.
This is a condition that may be called Electro Hyper-Sensitivity, Microwave Sickness, Radio Wave Sickness etc. It is an illness that was first noticed by during the Second World War by persons working on radar. It has been well studied scientifically and thousands of studies indicate significant biological effects to persons, animals and living things exposed to microwave radiation.
The writer insults all persons who suffer the adverse effects of microwave radiation and electro magnetic fields, by suggesting they are only imagining their condition.
The writer quotes 'Rubin' whose research is full of faults yet he ignores so many scientists who have conducted serious research and have found significant adverse health effects of wireless radiation.

The invisible poison: a look at the effects of wireless technology
While the convenience of cellphones and other similar wireless devices seems almost a necessity in todays fast-paced world, it is interesting to note that cancer rates across the world continue to remain at an all-time high, especially in Canada, with cancer being the prime cause of deaths, accounting for nearly 30 per cent of all adult causalities.

Better Call Saul
Person suffering from Electo Hyper-Sensitivity in script of new TV show on AMC
This is a spinoff of the TV series Breaking Bad. This show's first episode was 8 February on AMC - you can watch it here:
The main character's brother is EHS, and can't work for his law firm any more due to his EHS illness. You see the brother's house in the dark with propane lanterns and the electrical wiring pulled out of the breaker panel. Interesting to see this main stream drama raising the awareness of electro sensitivity issues and taking it to the masses.

Unmet health care needs for persons with environmental sensitivity.
J Multidiscip Healthc. 2015 Jan 23;8:59-66. doi: 10.2147/JMDH.S61723. eCollection 2015.
Abstract
Studies of unmet health care needs have shown that women, people with poor health, and people with lower socioeconomic status are more likely to report having unmet health care needs. In this study, we examined the types of and reasons for unmet health care needs in 465 people with environmental sensitivities. A second area of inquiry involved negative reactions to general anesthesia. Results showed that the most common barriers to receiving care were the inability to find a provider who understands environmental sensitivities and a lack of accessibility due to chemical and electromagnetic exposures in health care environments. Lower income and poorer health (longer illness, a worsening or fluctuating course of illness, and a higher level of disability) were significantly correlated with the total number of reported unmet health care needs. Some people with environmental sensitivities reported having negative reactions to anesthesia of long duration; most common were nausea and vomiting, fatigue, and reduced cognitive ability.
