WHEREAS Canadians, in unprecedented number, are becoming ill with
vague symptoms that are debilitating and in extreme cases, may cause
death. The majority of these citizens seeking a diagnosis are referred
to Physciatrists/Psychologists as family physicians are unable to
determine a cause or diagnosis for these symptoms which creates further
stress.
WHEREAS the symptoms
present as: headaches, dizziness, nausea, concentration difficulties, memory loss,
irritability, depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, weakness,
tremors, muscle spasms, numbness, tingling, muscle and joint pain,
flu-like symptoms, fever, seizures, paralysis, psychosis, stroke, pain
or pressure in the chest, low or high blood pressure, shortness of
breath, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, skin rash, burning,
facial flushing, pain or burning in the eyes, enlarged thyroid, dryness
of lips, tongue and eyes, nosebleeds, hair loss, immune abnormalities
WHEREAS these
signs may
indicate serious autoimmune illnesses such as Multiple Sclerosis,
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Fibromyalgia, along with many other
recognized autoimmune illnesses and they all can be indicative of the
sign of electrical hypersensitivity.
WHEREAS there has been no
governmental funded all-inclusive research study to determine why
Canadian citizens are increasingly becoming ill with vague undiagnosed
symptoms and this is a great cause of concern as it is a national health
problem that should have one singular national network for greater
visibility and research networking.
We, the undersigned, hereby
petition the Canadian government(s) to work cohesively to determine the
cause of these illnesses. We ask that the various Ministries of Health, Ministry of the Environment, governing
regulatory bodies for chemicals, pesticides, Natural Resources
development, Watershed management, Radiation regulatory division,
Agencies for Electromagnetic fields and fluorescent lighting, determine
the effectiveness of their current laws and by-laws and work diligently
to enact regulations that will protect and ensure a future for all
Canadians.
