Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) will be the major pollutant in the 21st. century. Together with free radicals it will contribute to many chronic conditions, some of which we are just learning about. EMR also contributes to behavioural problems in children.
EMR comes from electrical tools and machinery. The major source, however, is the wireless technology (cell phones, computers) and its transmission towers. One does not feel the damage caused by EMR but most people feel the symptoms such as: anxiety, high blood pressure, headaches, flushed dry skin, etc. To learn more about EMR go to: www.microwavenews.com.
If you wish to get protection for EMR or to learn more about disease prevention call:
