And, that’s what nearly all such studies have found: “no evidence” that the symptoms are anything but “psychological” in nature, noting that those who claim such hypersensitivity tend to exhibit more obsessive-compulsive, hostile, phobic, and paranoid traits. So, the researchers changed the name. What used to be called “Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity” in the medical literature is now called “Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance Attributed to Electromagnetic Fields,” an acronym that sounds like something straight out of Old MacDonald’s Farm. “Despite the conviction of I-E-I-E—MF sufferers that their symptoms are triggered by exposure to electromagnetic fields, repeated experiments have been unable to replicate this phenomenon under controlled conditions.” And, we’re talking 46 studies involving more than a thousand people who say they have it. But, when put to the test, when you put all the studies together, not only did they find “no [significant] impact” on any of the symptoms, “there was no evidence that subjects were [even] able to detect [the fields].” [...]
So, why does this notion of hypersensitivity persist? Well, there is now an entire industry profiting off of various gizmos claiming to protect people, and the media seem to love the hypersensitivity story; yet, “[w]hy don’t journalists mention the data?” The media have tended to claim “research into this area has been neglected. But, the research has been done”—dozens of studies that appear to have been “systematically ignored by almost every single journalist covering the issue.” Blind “provocation studies” published in the peer-reviewed academic literature, and they’re almost all negative. I mean, you could argue that the evidence is nearly unanimous.
“So why doesn’t the media ever mention the data?” Perhaps they “leave it out” on purpose. Perhaps they’re just “incompetent,” and never looked it up. Or, maybe, they’re just suckered in by the snake-oil salesmen selling “insulating paint” and protective “beekeeper hats.” “Not only do these lobbyists” also conveniently fail to mention the dozens of studies, “they…viciously attack anyone who even dares to mention the data, accusing them of…denying the reality of [people’s] symptoms.”
No, no one is saying they’re making them up; the science just suggests that whatever the symptoms, the cell phones don’t appear to be the cause. And, hey, if you want to go there, one could just as “fairly argue” that those who are trying to sell these poor people a bill of goods “are themselves hindering better understanding” of their customers’ suffering.
