Bioelectromagnetics, health and well-being : research
In this section we bring you research on health issues relating to non-ionising electromagnetic radiation, categories by type of effect. Some of this will be quite new to you, and will include translations of other European papers. Here you will see that NIEMR can induce or trigger very similar responses to other environmental factors, and that the consequences of these factors acting in tandem must be taken very seriously.
Relevance ratings for the health links:
= base stations;

Ever wondered why the symptoms of EHS are very similar to those of multiple chemical sensitivity or chronic fatigue syndrome? Some would have it that we should call them all ‘idiopathic environmental intolerance’, and thus labelled, assign them as psychiatric disorders.
If so, look through the references to Nitric Oxide under our neurological links. It could be there is a common result through disruption of the Nitric Oxide Synthase cycle. Now read this:
- EM fields, EHS and epilepsy
- Great injustices have been done, diagnosing EHS as schizophrenia. It’s the witch’s ducking stool all over again: incriminated if you survive, innocent (possibly) if you’re killed in the process
- More psychiatric injustices
- Nonthermal microwave radiations affect the hypersensitive response of tobacco to tobacco mosaic virus. So the question is: are plants psychosomatically inclined as well, since this experiment was single, not double-blind?
