Victims of fibromyalgia, lupus, scleroderma, some forms of dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis are especially at risk while in environments illuminated with CFLs, and British Charities say that the light from low-energy light bulbs are also triggering migraines, epilepsy, disorientation, brain-fog, and lethargy, to name a few disorders. Sufferers have appealed to the British Parliament to exempt them from having to use the new bulbs that will soon be mandated by law...Continue reading...
The low-energy CFL light bulb is replacing the staple incandescent bulb that has illuminated our homes and offices for over a hundred years. Now, researchers and physicians have discovered that use of CFLs are causing even more disorders than originally believed, such as rashes and inflammatory conditions for thousands of people.
In addition to concerns over mercury pollution that broken compact bulbs present, Dr. Robert Sarkany, a photo-dermatologist at St. John’s Institute of Dermatology, St. Thomas’ Hospital in London, told a Daily Mail investigative reporter that he’s treated patients who have skin rashes after exposure to low-light fluorescent bulbs.
Physicians now worry that the new bulbs could even cause skin cancer. “It is important that patients with photosensitive skin eruptions are allowed to use lights that don’t exacerbate their condition,” said Dr. Colin Holden, president of the British Association of Dermatologists. “Photosensitive eruptions range from disabling eczema-like reactions, to light sensitivities that can lead to skin cancer.”
I do not use or recommend any type of fluorescent bulbs because of health-related side-effects as cited above, to mention a few. In addition, I find other conditions are accelerated when the individual is exposed to fluorescent lighting of any variety including, but not limited to, fibromyalgia pain, arthritis, general inflammatory conditions, muscle/joint stiffness, vision disorders, loss of balance, and, I believe, lowered immune responses and allergies.
Health through education are keys to avoiding health-depleting practices. Hoarding information serves no one, it is meant to be shared. That said, denial without putting in the effort to gain knowledge is the highest form of ignorance, naturally.
