International Recognition of EHS
International Recognition of EHS

World recognition in EHS

The recognition in EHS is slowly going forward in two parallel axes. The first axis of recognition is done by international and national bodies, agencies and research institutes, that acknowledgment that EHS is the effect of a sick environment over a person’s life. The second axis is created by courts around the world that ruled in several cases of EHS people that acknowledge the disability of these people as EHS, a disability that is caused because of the exposure to EMF radiation. This is in contrast to the semi-recognition of other bodies, like the “EMF project” group in the World Health Organisation(WHO) of 2005, that acknowledges the suffering of EHS people without acknowledging that it is caused by exposure to EMF.

Pain and suffering not caused by EMF – WHO 

In 2005 the WHO “EMF PROJECT” (a group that is suspected of being influenced by the wireless industry) concluded that the symptoms of EHS are real but found no evidence that they are cause by EMF exposure. In its formal website, the WHO explains EHS and uses several exposure studies as references. Some of these studies suffer from methodology mistakes that are explained in our EHS STUDY page. After the WHO IARC classified Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic in humans in 2011, the WHO was supposed to reevaluate EHS as a formal known health condition. This process was due to end in 2015 but has yielded no change in the WHO opinion of 2005. We believe that the WHO EMF PROJECT will keep these views about EHS as long as it is being influenced by the industry.

Following this partial acknowledgment of the WHO, EHS is partiality recognized by the medical and scientific communities, however, currently, there is no consensus regarding the causes of EHS. Most medical doctors will try to minimize the symptoms of EHS by issuing pain killers to their patients

Acknowledgment in Nordic countries

EHS or “Electromagnetic Intolerance” or “EI-allergy was acknowledged in 2000 as a cause of disability by the Nordic (Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark) council of ministers (as for 09/2019 the following link is broken, we will keep trying to find the doc in a new location):
“Electromagnetic intolerance”“El-allergy”.Usually, general symptoms (tiredness, nausea, memory- and concentrationdifficulties etc.) related to use of TV/PC/data-screens, electrical transformers for fluorescent lamps. Symptoms disappear in “non-electrical environments”.

Parliament of Europe – 2009

In 2009 the Parliament of Europe declared the following:
“28. Calls on Member States to follow the example of Sweden and to recognize persons that suffer from electrohypersensitivity as being disabled so as to grant them adequate protection as well as equal opportunities “

Parliamentary Assembly Council of Europe – EHS is real! 

In 2011 the Parliamentary Assembly Council of Europe adopted a report by the European Committee for the safety of non-ionizing radiation about “The potential dangers of electromagnetic fields and their effect on the environment”. In section 8.1.4. the council acknowledges Electromagnetic hyperSensitivity: 

“8.1.4. pay particular attention to “electrosensitive” persons suffering from a syndrome of intolerance to electromagnetic fields and introduce special measures to protect them, including the creation of wave-free areas not covered by the wireless network;”

In section 4-22 the council of Europe ref to a study, that is not yet published (led by Professor Belpomme, see below), that prove the EHS is “real”:

“4-22 – “Finally, another expert specialising in clinical medicine and oncology confirmed, on the basis of the findings of biological and clinical analysis of several hundred French patients describing themselves as “electrosensitive”, that a syndrome of intolerance to electromagnetic fields (SIEMF) does exist and that those people are not feigning illness or suffering from psychiatric disorder”

FREIBURGER APPEAL

Written in 2002 by a group of German doctors this appeal describes patients with radiation sickness related symptoms that don’t react to pills and pain killers. “Since the living environment and lifestyles of our patients are familiar to us, we can see, especially after carefully-directed inquiry, a clear temporal and spatial correlation between the appearance of disease and exposure to pulsed high -frequency microwave radiation (HFMR)”
