Feeling dizzy or nausea after using iPad

Your dizziness is most probably due to the radiofrequency (microwave) emitted by the iPad. When you use iPad to access the internet, eveytime the iPad refreshes a page, it sends radiating microwave signals. Also, whether you are connected to a Wi-Fi network or not, as long as your "Wi-Fi" feature is turned on on the iPad, your iPad is sending out a high level of microwave signals EVERY FEW SECONDS, even tho you cannot see it. Take a look at these videos and the description:

They used to think that ionizing radiation was not harmful and put X-ray machines in shoe stores to check foot sizes... Then people got sick and they realized it's harmful.

They also used to think that non-ionizing radiation was not harmful. Then people have gotten sick and scientists discovered that non-ionizing radiation (from powerlines, radiowaves, microwave such as cell phones and cell towers) can also damage DNA, organs, and lower people's immunitiy. It also causes infertility.

Last year, the IARC (Interntaional Agency on the Research of Cancer) of the World Health Organization classified "radiofrequency electromagnetic fields emitted from wireless communication devices" as Type 2B Possible Carcinogens to Humans. They have subsequently clarified that this classification includes not only cellphone frequency, but other similar frequencies such as WiFi, smart meters and cell base stations (cell towers) etc. If the IARC experts panel had considered the risk of such non-ionizing radiationnon-existent and that it's harmless, they would have classified it as Group 4 "Probably not carcinogenic to humans", or Group 3 "Not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans". Instead they chose to make it a 2B so that we, the general public, can take heed and take precaution.

I always wondered why our governments (especially USA and Canada) are not taking more action to protect citizens (or at least issue more stern warnings like some other European countries have). Then I learned that our governments earn BILLIONS of $$$ each time they license off a portion of the radiofrequency spectrum for commercial use. It makes no monteary sense for them to associate such technology with health risks.

I don't think wireless devices will disappear any time soon, but people need to be aware of the risk and use it with proper caution (such as not putting an emtting ipad next to a child's head when they sleep...). Don't laugh. Today a parent told me that's what she does, so that the 5-year-old can listen to bedtime stories from the ipad. It's not the parent's fault.

Radiation exposure is perfectly normal for humans. The sun and the space protected by the magnetic field, and the ground. Most people have quite high tolerances to all types of radiation. Of course radiation kills but so does pretty much everything else. Flicker however is completely unnatural and probably affects the inner ear and causes dizziness among other things.

Now most of tye people are complaining that they only have a problem with few devices, most of them being ok for use. Now, do you think the radiation levels explqin the variation between devices? I can't see how.. But I do see the flicker and the worse the flicker the worse the nausea and headache. My samsung however is good enough. Less radiation with 3g and bluetooth and wifi compared to ipad2's plain wifi? Maybe radiation is the cure then!

Blaiming everything on Ef radiation is absurd. It does apply to some cases, not all.

Sweet, does this mean I no longer need to wear my tinfoil hat while cooking a chimiconga in the microwave? Just think, since I never do my own research and ask rather than seek anwsers, I could have saved thousands of dollars in tin foil.... The 80s were scary times. Thanks for setting this ridiculous notion back on track of mild normalcy.

Correct that "Flicker however is completely unnatural and probably affects the inner ear and causes dizziness among other things." Just like cellphone or Wifi's "pulsed" microwave is more harmful than the sun's radiation.

There are many variables causing some people to be more sensitive to certain type of electromagnetic radiation. There are genetic differences.

Problem is that our environment is now blanketed by many layers of such frequencies and people who are sensitive can hardly escape. Those who are not sensitive cannot understand. I don't see any normalcy in laughing at people who feel sick.

From what I've measured, safe distance from the microwave oven in cooking mode is about 18 feet. Tin foil hat doesn't really help 😉. But you don't have to believe it. Enjoy your chimiconga and microwave bath!

You are not alone. I started to have vertigo 9 months ago . I think that happened after I got the i pad. I realize that if I spend excessive time of eading or watching video , it will come. Sleeping becomes the key to overcome that.

intresting i had wifi problems on my ipad and i was on the latest ios but that stil did not help and the problem is my router so far the best router i had is the netgear works the best and its fast se if you can reprogram you router to work on open chanel i had D-link and every time i password protect it always re fresh and disconect my ipad every 5/4 minutes try you router and one more thing about dizzy or feeling weard go and check you eye's that is proboly why you are filling weard.

Hi,

I bought the ipad 1 and I got so nauseated and had a bad headache even when the wifi was off I had to return it...the mac air gave me no problems...All I was doing was downloading movies and tv programs from the itunes for my 3 year old...so I thought maybe it was the wifi because generally I dont' have it on in the house but even when I shut it off and my daughter was using the barbie app-I was sitting beside her ...I had to lie down on the couch beside her because I felt awful...once I returned it to the apple store after many hours I felt much better and I have been fine since...too bad because I really like it:(

Hi Karsoph, would you mind clarifying: When you said,"but EVEN WHEN I SHUT IT OFF and my daughter was using the barbie app-I was sitting beside her ...I had to lie down on the..." Did you shut off the Wi-Fi router in your home but leave the Wi-Fi function "ON" on the iPad, or did you shut off BOTH the router and the Wi-Fi button on the iPad?

Everyone has an agenda.. So does Technocity. There are several potential reasons for nausea etc. Some more likely than others. Only by identifying the correct source can you solve the problem. Scaremongering tactics works best for stuff you can't perceive by human senses. But it doesn't make it true.

Use your head.

Hi Wibin,

well...I don't have an agenda...my whole purpose in buying an ipad was to download movies and tv shows for my 3 yr old so when we go away I can pull them up easily to give her something to do...the apps were an added surprise which I really liked...she liked them to...unfortunately I couldn't function feeling sick and with a headache when it was on whether wifi was on or not...now that it is out of the house I dont have any of the symptoms...I am not trying to scare anyone...I am just an honest person and I do think there are others who suffer the same thing...I am an mri technologist and we scan people with headaches and migraines all the time...alot of people end up with nothing showing or no problems yet they have these sypmtoms...I have to question whether their problems are due to what I experienced with the ipad...just a thought?

Wibin

You are right everyone has an agenda. and a point of view, and an experience. So lets just see if wireless is the problem, then it can be ruled out as the problem. As for scaremongering, its just not something you agree with, fine. And never probably will?

An example you may go into a room where there is an terrible smell, and after a while the smell goes as have desensitized. Another person comes into the room, and they can smell it, but you cant. Does that me you made it up. All in the head as you would put it?? Well it isn't in your feet!! : )

As for people who are effected by wireless, sometimes you can desensitize from it before the pain receptors hit home, other times its just too much and the dizzy spells and headaches happen. The human body does not have a clean on off switch. Un like a ipad.

If you have any form of wireless near your bedroom, many people report a disturbed sleep pattern, i.e. waking around 4-am. REM Turn it all off and guess what, you sleep. Remember all in the mind! : )

Carry you phone in your front pocket, get the Phantom text messages sometimes? Thats the phone logging onto the mobile mast. All in the mind. : ) Read the manual it states, never put in your pocket.

For the scientists out there look up Crypto-chromes and Magnetite in the human bodies. Birds are thought to be effected by the earths magnetic fields to navigate, we too have these minerals in our bodies, do some people have more than others?

Hi Wibin,

I dont know why you are writing all this gobblygoop...the fact is that the ipad made me sick even with the wifi off...that is it...no scaring tactics...didn't have my cell phone on or near me...not desensitized because when it is on I am sick when it is away from me I am fine.

I personally know an MRI technologist who had to leave the field because she became sensitive to electromagnetic fields. Every time she went into the room where the MRI machine was, she got extremely dizzy. The MRI machine was something like 1.5 Tesla.

Her sleep was poor and she had most of the classic symptoms of electromagnetic sensitivity.

Karsoph, if you have Wi-Fi turned off both in the house and on the ipad and still feel dizzy, then RF might not be the reason for you. However, you did the right thing by returning it because you did not feel well. Right now it's still unexplained but in future you might find out. Not worth the risk. Wibin has probably not met anyone who is sensitive to these frequencies. When he does he will understand.
