EHS: Symptoms and Support

Electrohypersensivity (EHS), originally known as microwave sickness, is receiving international recognition as an emerging public health problem. The Canadian Human Rights Commission, the Americans with Disabilities Act and our Canadian Government now recognize EHS as an Environmental Sensitivity, and it is now recognized in Sweden and Norway as a Functional Impairment. 

Over 3,000 doctors agree, " . . . One can no longer evade these pulsed microwaves. They heighten the risk of already present chemical/physical influences, stress the body's immune system, and can bring the body's still-functioning regulatory mechanisms to a halt. Pregnant women, children, adolescents, elderly and sick people are especially at risk." Freiburger Appeal, signed by over 3,000 German Medical Doctors

The damaging health effects of electromagnetic frequency (EMF) and radio frequency (RF) fields - neurological, respiratory and cardiac, as well as others of a more general nature - have been known for decades, but with the explosion of modern wireless devices and infrastructure, ill health effects are being felt by more people every day.  

Those for whom symptoms are more subtle do not usually, in the early stages of reactivity, make the RF connection.  For those who already know they are electrohypersensitive, this is a life-affecting reality. 

The Power Watch Handbook states that between 3% and 35% of our population are sensitive in some way to electormagnetic frequencies.  The likelihood will only grow with continued exposure and time.
