Radio mast rays turned my little girl into 'she devil', says mother
Special report by John Hamshire
A nurse claims her daughter was turned into a 'she devil' by a radio mast
casting rays into her bedroom.
A senior doctor backs Teresa Kennedy's fears about five-year-old Jamie, who
has suffered alarming behaviour disorders and allergies.
'We thought she was going crazy,' said Mrs Kennedy, 48. 'It's been like
living with someone plugged into a mains socket.'
Jamie's personality changed three years ago, says Mrs Kennedy, when she and
her 58-year-old managing director husband Joe moved into a house in
Bournemouth, Dorset, 100 yards from the mast. In the ensuing months Jamie
attacked her 18-year-old sister with a poker, threw a fit in a church, hurled
herself at doors and stabbed herself with pens.
And for three tortuous [sic] years, she slept no more than two hours a night.
Mrs Kennedy said: 'She would hear voices and ringing in her head. If she ate
certain things she would be up all night running round her room. She would
try to climb out of the windows. It was as though she had the devil inside
her.'
The desperate family eventually consulted Harley Street doctor George Lewis,
who suggested the mast might be to blame. A member of both the Royal College
of Physicians and General Practitioners [eh? -m], he said: 'We know that
electro fields [sic] give rise to a range of symptoms and Jamie's hyperactivity
was consistent with this.' Dr Lewith is involved in a medical centre for the
study of complementary medicine.
Scientist Roger Cogshill, from Reading University, visited the house and
confirmed there was an electro magnetic field running through the bedroom.
[Stone the crows, who'd have suspected that, eh? - m]
Dr David Dowson, from the Centre for the Study of Complementary Medicine in
Southampton, said electro magnetic fields can cause mood changes, headaches
and depression. Mother-of-four Mrs Kennedy said: 'No wonder the little
darling couldn't sleep. She has been through a living nightmare.'
The mast, used by the West Hampshire Water Board to co-ordinate vans, has now
been moved, though the Board rejects the claims. [I should hope so too! - m]
