Essential factors

How can categorize the essential factors of eletrosensibilidade?

We present below a link to an assessment questionnaire, filled out by about 250 people eletrohipersensíveis (EHS) in the Netherlands, for a period of 3 years, which contacted the EHS Foundation on its own initiative.

The health problems have been recorded along with the sources of electromagnetic fields (EMF's) -when known-that could have caused these health effects.

Main points of emphasis in the analysis of eletrosensibilidade

1 – The eletrohipersensibilidade (EHS) succeeds in most age groups, from teenagers to the elderly at 80 years of age;

2- most of the people who sought help and advice were women;

3 – There are several factors – environmental and psychological – to modulate either the beginning or the intensity of the symptoms of eletrohipersensibilidade (EHS);

4 – Each person develops his own range of symptoms and complaints vary greatly. 70% of those who participated in the evaluation suffered from chronic fatigue, headaches, trouble concentrating, and other psicosomáticas disorders. The somatic character problems included decreased vision, problems with hearing and smell, as well as on the skin, and aching joints and muscles;

5 – Several eletrosensitivos were stories of diseases they were mining the body and mind, and many felt disturbances due to environmental factors, such as smells, ultraviolet radiation, pollen, and allergic components. Some reported breakdown, post traumatic stress or similar deficiencies related to the environment or the emotional state;

6 – None of the people mentioned a specific font, although the use of home appliances like cordless telephones (DECT), wireless networks (WIFI), TV, PC, and most modern electronic systems, induziram problems in at least half of respondents;

7 – Live in an apartment with several neighbors was risk factor due to electromagnetic fields (EMF's) across the walls;

8 – Most of the respondents consider themselves as having an emotional character;

9 – Some reported that other members of the family also had symptoms of eletrohipersensibilidade (EHS) that indicate the existence of some kind of hereditary factor in manifestation of sensitivity, above average, to electromagnetic fields (EMF's);

10 – It is speculated about the possibility of the context of personal stress being a key factor and determinant in how health issues are understood and resolved.
