Lady Gaga says no to radiation from mobile phones
Next-up Organisation 28 09 2010
It is rare to see a pop star get involved in the combat over the dangers posed by the artificial highfrequency microwave radiation emitted by mobile phones. But Lady Gaga, who has some health
problems to deal with, pulls no punches in expressing her views on this issue.
The Sun reports that nowadays Lady Gaga asks one of her
associates to dial a number on her mobile and "a member of
her security team always has to hold the phone well away
from her head. Then she talks using the loudspeaker."
It’s been mentioned several times in the media that "Lady
Gaga's Phone Fear". According to a headline in the
International Business Times "Lady Gaga fears Telephone
might cause cancer, brain tumor" And for her millions of fans,
it’s spelled out even more clearly on her official Internet site:
"Save Lady Gaga from her mobile phone radiation".

For the last few months Lady Gaga has had some health problems, and in fact after postponing two concerts in
the US because of exhaustion, the 23-year-old pop star seemed on the point of fainting on stage during one of
her recent shows in Auckland, New Zealand.
"I often get palpitations but it’s all right, it’s just fatigue. The other day in Tokyo, I had some problems breathing
on stage," she says. After being given oxygen in the wings, she carried on with the show in top form, saying like
a real trooper, "People say I should take a break, but I said, why so? What would I do, go off on my holidays?"
In a recent interview Lady Gaga told the Times of London that she had been tested for lupus, without saying if
the result was positive or negative. "I’m very concerned because my Aunt Joanne died of lupus. It’s very
personal, I was tested for the illness, but I really don’t want to worry anyone." [CNN]
Lupus is an illness of the immune system of which the causes are poorly understood; it may involve hormonal,
genetic or environmental factors. Most often it affects women of child-bearing age who are usually in a weak
condition already, therefore more likely to contract other symptoms and pathologies.
However the symptoms of lupus are often similar to those of EHS: great fatigue, headaches for no apparent
reason, depression, chest pains when breathing, irregular heart beat, skin eruptions, pain in the joints, feverish
flushes, etc. Lady Gaga has noticed that when she has a really sound sleep, undisturbed by artificial highfrequency microwave radiation, the symptoms tend to disappear!
Meanwhile Lady Gaga no longer uses a mobile directly, and is in her own way applying the Precautionary
Principle with regard to the microwave radiation from mobile phones, spreading the word and telling
everyone loud and clear, "From now on, I have to look after myself."
