Frequently asked questions about ES/EHS, by Dr David Dowson  CIRCUIT (Electrical Sensitivity Support Group) (Has a good bibliography) WHO ‘factsheet’: ‘Electromagnetic fields and public health; Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity’. Note the advice on limiting exposure differs from the UK Health Protection Agency, in saying if the kitchen is too hot, stay there: just think cool. Electrical hypersensitivity in Sweden: uncovering the cover up Now available in English, the Swedish ‘Black on White: Voices and Witnesses about Electro-hypersensitivity’ Satori-5: part of the Global Campaign for Recognition of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and related syndromes, including EHS. There is rather too much in common. Many people report symptoms of electromagnetic radiation sickness, WHO (12 Sept 2005) Electrical fields can make you sick: HPA recognition at last? Why recognising EHS is too big a problem Irish Doctors Environmental Association [IDEA], position on electromagnetic radiation ... and people are backing them Indoor Environmental Quality: Electromagnetic Fields. National Institute of Building Sciences: building recommendations. Think about our unregulated Wi-Fi/DECT connected offices. Not just TETRA. A farmer’s nightmare On electromagnetic sensitivity. It is real; ask John Ryan. Does ‘electromagnetic pollution’ cause illness? An inquiry among Austrian general practitioners Electrosensitivity has a history FEB – The Swedish Association for the ElectroSensitive One report from the WHO EHS Conference in Prague, 2004 Electrical sensitivity: a growing global concern. How wireless technology may impact child development and central nervous system functioning. The effect of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields on skin and thyroid amine- and peptide-containing cells in rats: An immunohistochemical and morphometrical study. Mast cells in the skin show that EHS is not a psychological response. Correlation found between mobile phone masts and sleep disturbances A bibliography from Olle Johansson, Sweden. Why are these papers ignored? German/Russian report on electrosensitivity: Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields on Humans in the Frequency Range 0 to 3 GHz Australian Group on EMR safety and electro-hypersensitivity (EHS) From the Electrical Sensitivity Network, Arizona. Note the implication of serotonin Report from Japan: Gauss Network January and February 2005 and follow-up Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Caused by EMF? - Doctors in Japan may be reluctant to diagnose Alzheimers Scientists serious about ‘electricity sickness’ claims One story of mobile phone induced electrosensitivity And another very personal account. Please do note: these accounts are by no means rare, and they are not being listened to. 3G (UMTS) in The Netherlands causing EHS problems, but same official denials Mast Victims started up in mid-2005. Visit it. How it can feel in a wireless world And another recent story of electrosensitivity; this is real, and now  Ever wondered why the symptoms of EHS are very similar to those of multiple chemical sensitivity or chronic fatigue syndrome? Some would have it that we should call them all ‘idiopathic environmental intolerance’, and thus labelled, assign them as psychiatric disorders.
If so, look through the references to Nitric Oxide under our neurological links. It could be there is a common result through disruption of the Nitric Oxide Synthase cycle. Now read this:
EM fields, EHS and epilepsy Great injustices have been done, diagnosing EHS as schizophrenia. It’s the witch’s ducking stool all over again: incriminated if you survive, innocent (possibly) if you’re killed in the process More psychiatric injustices Nonthermal microwave radiations affect the hypersensitive response of tobacco to tobacco mosaic virus. So the question is: are plants psychosomatically inclined as well, since this experiment was single, not double-blind? (return to health links menu at top of this page) |
