Wind turbine syndrome

18/11/2013 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  Leave a Comment

Wind turbinesSo, do you live close to a wind farm? And do you suffer from:

  • headaches
  • sleep problems
  • night terrors or learning disabilities in children
  • ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • mood problems (irritability, anxiety)
  • concentration and memory problems
  • issues with equilibrium, dizziness and nausea

If so, you could be suffering from wind turbine syndrome. Or you could be suffering from any one of the other  300 plus conditions which also cause:

  • headaches
  • sleep problems
  • night terrors or learning disabilities in children
  • ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • mood problems (irritability, anxiety)
  • concentration and memory problems
  • issues with equilibrium, dizziness and nausea….

But never let it be said that we would not take seriously an apparently wacky condition. How wacky did electromagnetic sensitivity seem when it was first mooted and I, for one, can certainly attest to its existence – even if I chose to ignore the mountains of research material that now exist on the subject. And after all, wind turbines do cause a major air disturbance – that is what they are there for – so why should that not affect out health as well as that of bats and birds?

Anyhow, if the question interests you, the How Stuff Works site has a good article on the health fall out from wind turbines, along with a number of links to more research and opinion.

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
