Kids' brains at risk from wireless internet

For me, it is so very odd to read the excellent article ['Ban mobile phones and wireless networks in schools, say European leaders', http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/mobile-phones/8514380/Ban-mobile-phones-and-wireless-networks-in-schools-say-European-leaders.html ] when I, at the very same time, nowadays constantly is being harassed, threathened and soon severely hampered in my activities. The world is not functioning as it should, and some of the intellectual strong-holds have been invaded by greedy commercial forces turning universities into puppets on strings.

I especially see the opposition towards people with the functional impairment electrohypersensitivity. The situation there is now very much like a medical pogrom. When I entered science I thought my task should be to listen to, help, respect and support people in distress. Not to chase them away.

Finally, from the Telegraph article I understand that our Benevento, London and Seletun Statements have made a big difference. For that, I am very proud and very glad!

My strength and time is now running out. Please, keep up the excellent work for the future - it is badly needed.
