Dear all who have posted on this topic, and have contributed ideas and suggestions regarding my housing request.
First of all I want to apologize for the delay in answering, the original post was made by my Dad and I have been away quite a bit, with little access to a computer.( cable not wifi of course haha
)
Many thanks to you Ariègeoise for the suggestion.
On the topic of Emf hypersensitivity( EHS-microwave syndrome) , I do not want to go into too much of a debate here, as this is something I don't do much anymore, the positions "against " being (usualy- not always) very grounded in --lack of knowledge of actual scientific information on the actual impact of emf on the human body.
( if one cares to- actually- do proper research on the subject of EHS one can easily find actual "proper medical papers" by actual scientists( doctors, endocrinologists , oncologists etc) that will quickly dispell much of the doubts - and -mass media and industrial lobby supported-myths around the "harmlessness" of high frequency microwave( if you are interested, do actually go and check how this works, why microwaves(yes as in an oven), as well as the frequencies involved.
The impact on -the endocrine system(disruption of GABA, Acetylcholine, Dopamine pathways in the brain et etc etc) , immune system, blood cell production, lymph system etc etc has been demonstrated and is massive. The research is available if one cares to go into it.
Over time this translate as illness, actual physical illness, which is not simply"discomfort", which for an EHS person is already massive.
This is my case, so I cannot "afford to be a "positive thinker"(although I have the greatest conviction and experience of the "power of the mind on the body"(IE "Positive placebo effect").
As a proof of my non-radicalness and willingness to negociate with this condition, I do use a mobile phone infrequently if I need to be reached in my remote area, and accept to pay the physical price accordingly. I do pay the price and that is a chice. I do not "demonize "technology or the modern means of communication, I find them wonderful and use them if I really have to, up to a certain threshold. However I have come to know that even short exposure to Wifi and cell towers ( in my case)will have a massive physical impact on me, translating in days even weeks of endocrine disruption with very serious and painful consequences.
I do take into account the "negative placebo effect" and the fact that some EHS people might be partly -or for some completely- in that space of autosuggestion, while their symptoms are more due to psychological unwellness or certain forms of "burnout".
In that case, CBT or other forms of psychological and emotional therapy will certainly be of great help in "desensitizing " people ( for CBT)or helping them get to the root of their "phobia".
That being said , I think it would be naive, if not downright condescending to think that the huge wave of EHSensitivity spreading over the world is only due, either "unwillingness to be responsible, grow up and embrace progress and the no holds barred technological paradigm", or an "airy fairyness plague" (though I have the deepest respect for a more spiritualy-based view of how to live in this world), and that all these people are irresponsible, self-deluding hippies.
Because one does not experience and illness, or feel or see the causing factors does not mean it doesn't exist!
The financial stakes are massive and it not for any good reason the comprehensive "Reflex " and "Bioinitiative" scientific studies( actual "orthodox"scientists not holistic therapists) and various scientist's appeals to the EU are being buried.
And it is in the interest of the media( Bouygues and Orange being for example massive shareholders in television in France)to portray EHS people as -at best- eccentrics, in order to not have to have to change their policies-or pay indemnities for the rapidly growing number of victims!
Well I have gone into it a bit, I apologize if this was a bit lengthy and and I fear, a bit lecturing, but I thought on this occasion-once in a year- I might clarify why many EHS people feel no one takes their condition seriously and eventualy settle for silence. And why it is so difficult for them to find accomodation that meets their needs.
I am very grateful to all of you, including you Martyn-it was useful , compassionate and relevant information- for your help, concern and suggestions!
A happy festive season to you all
Antoine
