Wifi123, don't it personally when questioned for evidence. When you say something quite outlandish like you think that ME/CFS is due to electromagnetic radiation — an idea for which there is absolutely no evidence at all — you have to expect criticism and hard questions, at the very least.
By evidence, I mean a scientific studies. The world's most comprehensive database of biomedical scientific studies is the PubMed database, which you can access here:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed
If, by searching this PubMed database, you can find some scientific studies that support your ideas of an electromagnetic etiology for ME/CFS or fibromyalgia, then I will be more interested.
The web links you gave me are do not offer any scientific evidence. One website is in fact a manufacture of EMF protection goods, so it is in his interest to promote fear of EMFs.
I actually have a long-standing interest in the interactions of electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields with biological organisms. I could give you lots of info that your may not be aware of (and proper scientific studies). For example, are you aware of the studies by Hallberg and Johansson, demonstrating an association between the county-by-county introduction of FM radio in Sweden in the 1950s, and the subsequent increase in the ferocity of skin cancer found in those counties as soon as FM was introduced in each?
If you want to read Hallberg and Johansson's studies on PubMed, see here:
Melanoma incidence and frequency modulation (FM) broadcasting
Malignant melanoma of the skin - not a sunshine story!
Let me point out though that nobody has replicated Hallberg and Johansson's studies, so until we get some independent verification, we will have to hold judgement on their results. Independent replication of results is very important in science.
I share your concerns for the possible harmful effects of such radiations, just because WiFi and cellular phone transmissions are a new technology, and so they need to be monitored; but I do not subscribe to your wild exaggerations of the possible harms (though as mentioned before, I accept that you and a small minority may be super-senstive to EMFs).
I can also give you references to studies that have shown the positive health-giving benefits of electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Look up transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for an example of how you can use such fields for brain regeneration, to combat depression, to treat stroke, tinnitus, and Parkinson's.
Well my Karnofsky scale was self-appraisal of “ten out of ten”, and that was such until 2007 when Wi Fi and three more cell phone towers were erected ½ km away that it went up to “twenty out of ten”, which was the only way I could gauge my suffering, but now in 2012 it’s “thirty-five out of ten”.
I don't understand what you mean by “ten out of ten”, “twenty out of ten”, and "thirty-five out of ten". The
Karnofsky scale goes from 0 to 100, in steps of 10. A score of 0 means you are dead, a score of 100 means you are perfectly healthy.
As for B12, do you use the dangerous cyanide (cyanocobalamin) or the safe variety (Methylcobalamin)?
I usually take both methylcobalamin and the adenosylcobalamin forms of B12, at the same time. I have also taken the hydroxocobalamin form, but not cyanocobalamin.
Methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin are the best forms of B12 for the nerve health and regeneration, especially adenosylcobalamin, which is required for myelin sheath formation. Adenosylcobalamin is also called dibencozide.
We have a self-taught expert on B12 on the Phoenix Rising forums (he goes by the name of "Freddd"). Freddd found that the B12 content in different brands varied considerably, and he recommends you use either the Jarrow brand of B12 methylcobalamin, or the Enzymatic Therapy brand, otherwise you may get very little B12 in the tablets. The problem with methylcobalamin is that it degrades if exposed to light, and this is why Freddd thinks that some brands have much of the methylcobalamin degraded even at the time you buy it.
For the adenosylcobalamin / dibencozide form of B12, Freddd recommends the Country Life brand of dibencozide.
More info on Freddd's B12 protocol, can be found on
this forum thread.
B12 is of course very difficult to absorb. Injections are by far the best route, but other than that, sublingual or rectal suppositories are acceptable. Freddd's recommendations are to place a B12 tablet on you upper gums, rather than under the tongue, and let it dissolve over 10 or 20 minutes. There is no saliva to wash the B12 away on the upper gums. Even then, you are only going to get around 5% absorption in the mouth. If you take B12 orally into the stomach, you are going to get very low and insignificant absorption.
I turned OFF the wireless with the ON/OFF switch, which I thought disabled the wireless programme, but it didn’t. I then uninstalled the OS for the wireless/Bluetooth. Then I was still suffering and I purchased a new metre and found that the notebook was still transmitting, removed the card, and that stopped it. You can’t be right all the time HIP!
Did you turn off the WiFi on both your router AND your computer/laptop? Both computer and router have WiFi transmitter/receivers, so you have to turn them both off.
Also, wireless cards, like any cards, have their own integrated circuits (IC) which run at a specific clock rate, and these ICs will emit a very weak radio signal at the frequency of the clock rate. So you may have just been picking up the weak transmission from an IC on the wireless card, rather than an actual WiFi signal.
You would need a frequency counter or oscilloscope to prove that the signal you picked up was WiFi, and not a transmission from an IC. I am sure with your background you are familiar with frequency counters and oscilloscopes.
