Electromagnetic Sensitivity: The Carlos Sosa Story
Looking for answers
Despite the fact that I tried to get help from local health authorities and the National Ministry of Communications of Colombia, nobody actually helped me. I sent my written reports with medical evidence to our city Health Secretary; he probably laughed.
A few months later I learned of Dr. William Rea who runs the Environmental Health Clinic in Dallas, Texas. I left immediately in search of his help. I already knew I had Microwave Syndrome. The alterations in my physiology were serious enough that I was willing to seek help anywhere in the world. In Colombia, not a single medical doctor is trained in any of the universities to treat this problem. It’s simply not taught in pre-graduate or graduate medical programs and schools around the country. Plus, being a medical doctor, I know of the ignorance and dogmatism of the medical profession.
I have collected some 2000 medical publications on this topic, written by doctors from all over the world. In Dallas I was able to meet people from the five continents with exactly my same story: they had been subject to microwave radiation from a mast that was one, two, three or four blocks away.
At the time I did not think it possible to survive — my neurological functions were deeply affected. My best option at that point in time seemed to be committing suicide and I thought about it every hour of every day. Dr. Rea made the diagnosis of a toxic encephalopathy, immune dysregulation and dysautonomy. All of these diagnoses were considered a direct consequence of microwave irradiation. It had been many years since I had cried. I stayed in the clinic’s rest room for half an hour, trying to erase the traces of the tears and my red eyes. I knew how serious the situation was. Basically my life, my profession, and my neurological integrity was at stake. Dr. Rea taught me a lot and I will be eternally grateful to him. Though he wanted me to stay for two or three months, my economic situation did not allow for it.
Returning to Colombia
In not a single medicine book or journal in the world, be it on genetics, physiology, histology, molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, internal medicine, pediatrics, neurology, or any other text, does it state that the human cell was designed to withstand microwave radiation day and night throughout the years. I returned to Colombia in search of a place to hide from microwaves in the jungle. I visited tens of towns and states around the country. The nation is totally contaminated with electromagnetic smog. And, Colombia is far better than any city in the United States or Europe. I finally managed to find a spot by the Andes Mountains. It was a beautiful place with a creek, a forest, a 200-year-old house with no electricity, and pure air. Though I could sense electromagnetic fields — probably coming from radar units, there was a big reduction in the symptoms that allowed me to start recovering. After staying there for 5 months, I had to return to the city because I was starting to feel the microwaves from airplanes crossing in the sky. Unfortunately, there was an international air navigation route in the sky.
My case, just like the case of other medical doctors who are or have been electro-sensitive, is just another modern version of infamy. Among these is the case of the former director of WHO and Norwegian prime minister: Gro Harlem Brundtland. She had forbidden journalists from using cell phones in her office because of her EHS (electrohypersensitivity). The news was made public in Norway and Sweden. A few months later, she had to abandon the leadership of the World Health Organization. Many point to Michael Repacholi and the the cell phone industry as authors of this proscription.
