Electrohypersensitivity: State-of-the-Art of a Functional Impairment

Recently, a new category of persons, claiming to suffer from exposure to electromagnetic fields, has been described in the literature. In Sweden, electrohypersensitivity (EHS) is an officially fully recognized functional impairment (i.e., it is not regarded as a disease). Survey studies show that somewhere between 230,000-290,000 Swedish men and women report a variety of symptoms when being in contact with electromagnetic field (EMF) sources. The aim of our studies has been to investigate possible alterations, in the cellular and neuronal systems of these person' skin. As controls, age- and sex-matched persons, without any subjective or clinical symptoms or dermatological history, served. Immunohistochemistry using antisera to the previously characterized marker substances of interest has been utilized. In summary, it is evident from our preliminary data that various alterations are present in the electrohypersensitive person' skin. In view of recent epidemiological studies, pointing to a correlation between long-term exposure from power-frequent magnetic fields or microwaves and cancer, our data ought to be taken seriously and further analyzed.

...it demonstrates that 'various alterations in the cellular and neuronal systems are present in the electro hypersensitive peoples skin. Medically this could be important in diagnosing people suffering with EHS.

As Einstein said "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift".

Some of us human beings know intuitively that this technology is dangerous and an investigation of the facts just backs up what we do know intuitively. These are the people who do not own cell phones because they sense on another level that they are dangerous. Most others have lost touch with this intuition and are brain-washed by a society, a media, a corporation "that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."

The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) produced by mobile phones in the head of adults and children is simulated using an algorithm based on the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. Realistic models of the child and adult head are used. The electromagnetic parameters are fitted to these models. Comparison also are made with the SAR calculated in the children model when using adult human electromagnetic parameters values. Microstrip (or patch) antennas and quarter wavelength monopole antennas are used in the simulations. The frequencies used to feed the antennas are 1850 MHz and 850 MHz. The SAR results are compared with the available international recommendations. It is shown that under similar conditions, the 1g-SAR calculated for children is higher than that for the adults. When using the 10-year old child model, SAR values higher than 60% than those for adults are obtained.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate health risk perception as well as to assess the prevalence of self-reported symptoms attributed to electromagnetic fields (EMF) and other environmental exposures in the general population of Switzerland. METHODS: Between May and June 2004, telephone interviews of a representative sample of the Swiss population (n=2048, >14 years old) about: (1) health symptoms attributed to five environmental factors (one of which was EMF), (2) health risk perception related to 12 environmental risk factors (five of which were different EMF sources). RESULTS: We found a prevalence of 5% (95% CI 4-6%) for electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) in our study sample. The most common health complaints among EHS individuals were sleep disorders (43%) and headaches (34%), which were mostly attributed to power lines and mobile phone handsets. In addition, 53 percent (95% CI 51-55%) were worried about adverse health effects from EMF, without attributing their own health symptoms to them. CONCLUSIONS: The large proportion of the population who is concerned or attributes own symptoms to EMF may cause societal conflicts given the ubiquity of EMF in our everyday life.

CEO of Sandy Steele Unlimited, Inc. Exposes Cell Phone Radiation Dangers On Her Radio Talk Show

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 4, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) (PRIMEZONE) -- Sandy Steele Unlimited, Inc., (Pink Sheets:SSTU) announced that the dangers of cell phone radiation and its connection to brain tumors will be the featured topic of the "Honey, trust me on this..."(tm) internet radio show on Friday, January 5, 2007. The one hour talk show is streamed live via Modavox.com (OTCBB:MDVX) over its VoiceAmerica Health & Wellness channel every Friday at 11 a.m. PST. Host Sandy Steele's guest for this show will be Mr. Paul Fitzgerald, founder of the Research Center for Wireless Technology in New Jersey.

"According to the NeurologyChannel.com, malignant brain tumors are the second leading cause of death in children and young adults under the age of 34," stated Ms. Steele. "Furthermore, the World Health Organization issued a medical alert for children to talk less than an hour a day on a cell phone and recommended using 'hands free' headsets. At the same time, The Disney Company is licensing its cartoon properties to Sprint for a major cell phone marketing campaign, targeting 30 million children between 8 and 12 years old."

Ms. Steele added that, "Children are at greater risk for brain tumors because their skulls are so much thinner than adults. However, adults use cell phones much more, so their risk is also heightened. In fact, the famous defense attorney Johnny Cochran recently died from a brain tumor which appeared exactly where he held his cell phone. Cochran's neurosurgeon at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles attributed his death directly to his use of his cell phone and home cordless phones. Studies indicated that sexual reproduction for men and development of healthy fetuses for women may be affected by wearing a phone at waist level."

Mr. Fitzgerald, an expert and consultant in electromagnetic field radiation, has been educating the public on the dangers of radiation for ten years. He'll discuss with Ms. Steele the results of extensive scientific studies which appear to have been withheld from the public by the telecommunications industry. Mr. Fitzgerald will also advise listeners on how to avoid or reduce radiation in their environment.

"I feel strongly that this subject addresses the most important human environmental health issue since cigarette smoking was finally exposed as a mass killer. The amount of data is so vast that I will have a follow-up show, in the very near future, with even more notable experts in this field," said Ms. Steele.
