Is EMF Hypersensitivity Real?

[Jragon]

So in this we mentioned EMF Hypersensitivity and realized we don’t have a cite. I got curious and looked and, lo and behold, it’s very difficult to find anything reliable (half the sites have EMF in the domain…).

So to all the biologists, psychologists, MDs etc, is EMF Hypersensitivity an accepted phenomenon or something else? Perhaps debunked, uncertain, some elements of truth but not totally real?

Thanks in advance.

[Q.E.D]

I know of no study which has shown a significant blind correlation between EMF exposure and symptoms of alleged hypersensitivity. Here is a brief of one such study which says, in part:

The symptoms described by “electromagnetic hypersensitivity” sufferers can be severe and are sometimes disabling. However, it has proved difficult to show under blind conditions that exposure to EMF can trigger these symptoms. This suggests that “electromagnetic hypersensitivity” is unrelated to the presence of EMF, although more research into this phenomenon is required.

Many similar studies also admit that further study may be warranted, although it is important to note that this does not mean that the claims of self-reported EMF hypersensitives are valid.

No not by any stretch of the imagination. The best evidence available is that it is UNRELATED to EMF. Almost all studies to date have been failed to find any connection between the symptoms of EMF-Hypersensitivity (aka IEI-EMF):

A systematic review of 31 blind and double-blind provocation studies yielded no evidence that IEI-EMF individuals could detect the presence of rf-emf, and only seven studies indicated that exposure to rf-emf did affect health indices (Rubin et al. 2005). In two of these, however, the authors failed to replicate their own findings. Another four studies involved inappropriate use of statistics, while one reported improved mood in the active exposure condition.
