| I wonder...
Most people who have those symptoms (sharp headaches and difficulty breathing, blurry vision) usually are having one H*** of a hangover. Been there, done that.
Blaming it on Wimax is just so lame. And the arrhythmia, well, that comes from way too much COFFEE, while trying to get seriously undrunk.
I told you Starbucks was bad for you.... |

1 edit | Right, and quadriplegia is solved by simply getting up out of the chair. 
Seriously though, this wouldn't be hard to test. If you're in the area and you have symptoms which disappear when you're out of the area, it is hardly caused by having some Irish Coffee in the 'morn. |

True, not coffee in the 'morn under those conditions, but a decrease in symptoms outside of the area also isn't irrefutable proof that it's Wimax. There are potentially many other environmental factors such symptoms could be attributed to. Better to stay in the area and turn the transmitter off to confirm Wimax as the cause.

Blame ur poor productivity and hang over on the new wireless base station. I gotta try it sometime. Im wondering how the cellphone in their pocket and ubiquitous GSM coverage from multiple providers doesnt cause it, but wimax does. |

Ever heard of the placebo effect?
Now I'm not going to say one way or another, but it is certainly possible that they are just blaming their conditions on the unknown.
Sugar cubes have been known to "cure" all sorts of ailments. |

What about this?
Dr. David Carpenter, Dean at the School of Public Health, State University of New York believes it is likely that up to 30% of all childhood cancers come from exposure to EMFs. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns "There is reason for concern" and advises prudent avoidance".

The same reason that your cordless doesn't interfere with your television. It's called frequency and transmitter power. If you modulate the right frequency, you can expose yourself to the right kind of "radiation" to cause health problems. Doubt it all you'd like, but there is a reason these frequencies are licensed, and not just open to anyone who wants them. You have to understand that radio waves ARE radiation, but on different frenquencies/wavelengths. Most don't cause issues with us because they are found naturally, but this WiMax channel being used over there obvoiusly is on a bad channel. I don't claim to know it all though, so flame on, but I honestly believe the health concerns are valid for the technology. I don't like holding a cellphone or cordless next to my head, but I also realize that all my neighbors have one, so I can't avoid it.

| I doubt wimax is being used on anything above 3 ghz, its betweem 500-2500mhz probably, basically same as wifi, 2.4 ghz devices, or as UHF TV or PCS or cellular cellphones. Wimax shouldnt be more 2x a cellphone tower in transmit power, 30 miles vs .5-2 for city and 5-60 (AMPS/analog) miles for rural. I just dont see the difference other than 2x more transmit power. |
