Redefining electrosensitivity: A new literature-supported model

Abstract

Overview

In critically examining literature on electrohypersensitivity and the reported somatic responses to anthropogenic modulated radiofrequency radiation (RFR) exposure, it becomes apparent that electrohypersensitivity represents only a part of a broader electrosensitive status inherent to humans.

Findings

• A linear somatic awareness continuum suggests varying degrees of bodily awareness towards RFR exposure.
• A non-linear somatic response continuum indicates that responses to RFR aren't always predictable or uniform.
• The capacity for each person's body to repair damage is crucial, influencing their overall response to electromagnetic exposure.
• The interconnectedness of the immune and inflammatory systems plays a significant role in modulating these effects.

Conclusion

The holistic model proposed suggests varying outcomes from exposure to RFR. While some people maintain homeostasis through routine repair mechanisms, others develop electrohypersensitivity or more severe conditions such as autoimmune diseases or catastrophic illnesses like glioma, due to these exposures.

This model emphasizes the necessity of viewing these responses as a normal part of human variability in adapting to new environmental conditions. Therefore, it is critical to investigate the causes behind these responses and work towards minimizing harmful exposures.

Significant Quotes from World Health Organisation (WHO)

As per WHO's insights, common malaise symptoms linked to Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance are prevalent in the general population, suggesting widespread electrosensitivity. Also, the fact that everyone is exposed to some level of environmental RFR stresses the importance of this health issue.

Actions and Recommendations

EHS should be destigmatized, and those affected should receive the same level of concern and assistance as anyone with recognized immune or allergic reactions. This includes strategies to minimize harmful exposure and enhance the body's repair capacity.
