Electromagnetic hypersensitivity - Washington Times

Is the self-diagnosis of EHS reliable? If you ask scientists (including myself) or physicians, who lack diagnostic tests for EHS, the answer is no. There is no scientific data available that indicate the self-diagnosed EHS-associated symptoms are caused by electromagnetic fields.

Is this the end of the story?

It is very likely that among us are persons who are, more than others, sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. We respond differently to pollutants, medicines, radiation etc. Why the electromagnetic fields would be different?

Some might say that the current safety limits for different electromagnetic fields are set on levels that protect us all. However, this statement is not supported by the available science. As long as we do not know whether human body reacts to low level electromagnetic radiation, we do not know if the safety limits protect everyone.

Objective information on this matter cannot be provided by epidemiology, animal experiments or in vitro laboratory studies. Such knowledge can be provided only by molecular level studies in healthy and in EHS-affected human volunteers.

The jury is still out.
