ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this response as an individual consumer. Question 3 In 2005, when I was about 11 years old, Wi-Fi was installed in my school in every classroom. Laptop computers with Wi-Fi became a frequent used part of the lessons. This became my first experience of illness symptoms from RF/EMF. Today, more than 20 years later, I can still experience same type of symptoms near RF/EMF sources like Wi-Fi routeres, cell towers and mobile phones downloading/uploading data. My primary symptom is a peculiar type of headache. It feels as though a small balloon is slowly being inflated inside my head. It is very different from a headache caused by a fever. It may be accompanied by sudden, intense but brief pain at a random, small spot inside my head. This feels like a small, sharp nail is being hammered into my skull. My other symptoms are slight dizziness and a feeling of exhaustion in the brain - different from when I am naturally sleepy in the evening. Symptoms can appear less than 10 minutes after exposure has begun. After exposure has end, some of the symptoms subside within as little as 2-3 minutes. They generally disappear completely within an hour. However, this may vary depending on the intensity and duration of exposure, etc. My doctor cannot help me with treatment for the condition. I do not suffer from any other medical conditions that could cause these symptoms. In addition, I generally have a very low stress level. My mother consider herself to be suffering from electro hyper sensitivity (EHS) in severe degree. During exposure from RF/EMF she experiences symptoms like mine, and, in addition, other symptoms. I believe she is affected about 5 times more severely than I am. Last year, an acquaintance of mine sent me a copy of a scientific article - “Elektrohypersensitivity as a Newly Identified and Characterized Neurologic Pathological Disorder: How to Diagnose, Treat and Prevent It” – by Dominique Belpomme and Philippe Irigaray, Published in International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 11 March 2020. The PDF file is 16,4 MB in size and cannot be attached here, but it can be read at [https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/21/6/1915]. The content of the article might explain my characteristic symptoms during exposure from RF/EMF. In section 5 – “Radiological identification of cerebral neurovascular abnormalities” – reduced blood flow in parts of the brain, observed in self-reporting EHS-patients, is described. Here are a few excerpts from it: “(…) In fact, as indicated in Table 7, by using transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TDU) in patients with EHS, we showed a decrease in the mean pulsatility index in one or both middle cerebral arteries, i.e., for one artery in 25% and 31% of the cases respectively for the right and left artery, and for both arteries in 50%. (...)” [page 8 of 20] “(…) Moreover, by using ultrasonic cerebral tomosphygmography (UCTS) applied to the temporal lobes [12], we showed there is a significant decrease in mean pulsometric index in the middle cerebral artery-dependent tissue areas of these lobes, especially in the capsulo-thalamic area, which corresponds to the limbic system and the thalamus [12]. (...)” [page 9 of 20] My hypothesis, as a layperson, could be that RF/EMF exposure leads to a further reduction in blood flow to parts of the brain at EHS-patients, and this causes the symptoms described above.
