Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) was first recognized by doctor Erwin Schliephake, a German medical doctor, in 1932. Originally he called this condition "microwave sickness" or "radio wave sickness".
The symptoms he observed were:
It is estimated that between 3% and 10% (with some estimates as high as 30%) of the general population now experience one or more EHS symptoms when exposed to microwave radiation or electrical pollution. Everyone is affected biologically by EMF pollution, but most will not feel the effects for years or even decades.
Because EMF pollution affects the nervous, immune and endocrine systems, symptoms can vary and be wide-ranging.
Primary EHS Symptoms:
Secondary EHS Symptoms:
The following are EHS symptoms that some individuals report when exposed to microwave radiation and electrical pollution. These symptoms can be severe for EHS individuals, but are not as common as the primary symptoms.
“There is no question EMFs have a major effect on neurological functioning. They slow our brain waves and affect our long-term mental clarity. We should minimize exposures as much as possible to optimize neurotransmitter levels and prevent deterioration of health”.
