MAYOR DENNIS O' KEEFE PROCLAIMS SEPTEMBER 2009 AS ELECTROMAGNETIC HYPERSENSITIVITY AWARENESS MONTH
It is stated in the proclamation, that people of all ages in St John´s and throughout the world have developed the illness of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EMHS) as a results of global electromagnetic pollution, and that Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity is a painful chronic illness of hypersensitive reactions to electromagnetic radiations for which there is no known cure and that the symptoms of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity include dermal changes, acute numbness and tingling, dermatitis, flushing, headache, arrhythmia, muscular weakness, tinnitus, malaise, gastric problems, nausea, visual disturbances, severe neurological, respiratory, speech , problems and numerous other physiological symptoms that often can develop into Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).
It is also stated in the proclamation , that Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity, is recognized by the Canadian Human Rights Commission, the Canadian Government, as an Environmental Sensitivity, the Americans with Disabilities Act and by many other national and international commissions, and that this illness may be preventable through the reduction or avoidance of electromagnetic radiation in both indoor and outdoor environments and by further medical research.
As the population, worldwide is exposed to more and more electromagnetic frequencies, people are increasingly complaining of ill health, and indeed, exposures to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) have been associated with many types of cancer, miscarriages, diabetes, just to name a few, and most notably of a host of symptoms, which collectively are called electro- hypersensitivity (EHS) which include sleep disorders, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, poor concentration and short-term memory, tinnitus and much more, and more and more doctors are starting to diagnose this environmental illness.
