People with chemical and environmental challenges are part of a growing demographic in our society. Christel Martin and others who are electrically hypersensitive - EHS - and are brave enough to speak up, who refuse to simply submit to societal abuse and ignorance, are not crazy. Hopefully, they have human rights like everyone else.
Can the unseen be real? Not that long ago, microscopic organisms supposedly did not exist because no one could "see" them. People suffered from the effects of plagues, bacterial infection and disease until science caught up with ignorance and opened people's eyes. Human beings relied on superstition and folk remedies to deal with the unknown. Before the microscope, the man who dared to speak to the idea of cleanliness in medicine to prevent infection was thrown into a mental institution where he died from beatings that he suffered there.
Do rainbows not exist because blind people can't see them? Did North America not exist because the world was thought to be flat? Was thalidomide harmless because science did not foresee its effects? Was asbestos the miraculous material it was professed to be by those who promoted its use? History is full of examples like these.
Christel Martin and at least 3-5% of the population (one in 20) are adversely and sometimes profoundly affected by Wi-Fi and other wireless technology. More have pre-existing health problems complicated by our modern lifestyle, but as yet haven't connected the dots. The rest don't want to acknowledge this, yet.
Linda Ewart was born in B.C. and has lived here all her life. As a retired elementary school teacher, she believes that every person has a basic human right to a safe living environment.
