Compact Fluorescent Bulbs are Making People Sick
Compact fluorescent light bulbs are filling home and
office environments with dangerous electromagnetic pollution, causing
devastating health effects on some people. Neurologists are increasingly
taking notice of the headaches and migraines being reported by people
exposed to compact fluorescent light bulbs
Here's a video news
report detailing this threat to your health:

It's not only the fact that they cause headaches and skin problems, it's
also the fact that they contain mercury vapor, which is highly
toxic to the nervous system if inhaled. (Unless you're a conventional
dentist, of course, who absurdly believes mercury isn't harmful to the
human body.)
This is why I founded EcoLEDs (www.EcoLEDs.com),
which has been selling mercury-free, eco-friendly LED lights since late
2007. But LED lights are still too expensive for most consumers, and
they're nowhere near the affordability of compact fluorescent bulbs.
Meanwhile, CFLs are all the rage these days, with hotels, offices and
retail stores all turning to them as light sources, unwittingly
unleashing a new wave of electromagnetic pollution onto consumers.
So what should you do in your home? Don't buy compact fluorescent
light bulbs! Buy LED lights and you'll earn back the entire cost of
the lights in just a couple of years due to savings on electricity
expenditures. If you can't afford LEDs, stick with regular incandescent
light bulbs until a better solution comes along. They aren't the best
thing for the environment, but neither are mercury-containing CFL light
bulbs, almost none of which are properly disposed of anyway.
