Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome (EHS)
admin2024-07-20T07:14:57+00:00Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome (EHS)
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome (EHS), a syndrome where people experience negative health effects from Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) exposure, is one such growing concern. Many EMF sources are present in today’s lifestyle, including smart TVs, Wearable Technology, Electric Cars, Mobile Phones, Wi-Fi Routers, Bluetooth Devices, and 5G Cameras.
The introduction of these high-tech telecommunication gadgets and wireless devices has occurred without conclusive evaluations of the risks they pose to human health and other living things. Every habitat is experiencing an increase in electromagnetic radiation intensity, which has reached previously unheard-of levels on Earth. Continuous exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) is associated with a wide range of symptoms and disorders. Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome (EHS) is one of the new medical diagnoses associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields. People with electromagnetic hysteria syndrome (EHS) claim to have had negative health effects that they link to electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. Patients who have been exposed to one or more EMF sources exhibit a wide range of non-specific symptoms affecting several organs.
EHS symptoms
People with an EHS diagnosis describe a wide range of symptoms, whose types and severity can vary greatly based on age, length, and degree of exposure. Numerous non-specific symptoms point to multiple body systems malfunctions:
- Neurological Symptoms: Headaches, Insomnia, anxiety, depression, dizziness, fatigue, difficulties with learning and memory.
- Cardiovascular Symptoms: Heart palpitations, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
- Dermatological Symptoms: Skin rashes, itching, and burning sensations.
- Musculoskeletal Symptoms: Weakened muscles, discomfort in the joints.
- Reproductive Symptoms: Infertility problems, miscarriages.
- Gastrointestinal Symptoms: Digestive problems, nausea, loss of appetite.
- Additional symptoms include flu-like symptoms, rapid aging, hair loss, and general malaise.
The patient’s living environment is frequently the root cause of EHS. A person may be predisposed to acquire EHS by a number of circumstances, such as:
• Extended Exposure to EMFs: Frequent and extended exposure to high EMF levels from electronics such Mobile Towers, Power lines, Computers, Wi-Fi routers, and cell phones.
• Hereditary Factors: Some people may be more susceptible to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) due to a hereditary predisposition.
• Pre-existing Health Conditions: People who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune illnesses, poor diet, hypersensitivity to chemicals, or other long-term health issues may be particularly vulnerable.
Because the disorder is not widely recognized and there are differing diagnostic criteria, it is challenging to determine the incidence of EHS. Nonetheless, statistics indicate that up to 15% of the current population may have EHS symptoms, and that both the frequency and identification of the condition are rising quickly.
Diagnosis of EHS
Diagnosing EHS can be challenging due to the non-specific nature of its symptoms and the lack of standardized diagnostic criteria. The diagnostic process typically involves:
- Medical History and Symptom Assessment: a thorough record of the occurrence, course, and possible causes of the symptoms.
- Physical Exam: To make sure that no other medical issue could be the cause of the symptoms.
- Environmental Assessment: Determining the patient’s surroundings’ sources of electromagnetic field exposure.
- Symptom-Reduction Tests: Monitoring changes in symptoms with lowering or removing exposure to electromagnetic fields.
Treatment
Although there isn’t a single, widely recognized treatment for EHS, there are a few strategies that may help control symptoms:
- Reduction of EMF Exposure: Using wired connections rather than wireless ones, shutting down electronics when not in use, and designating low-EMF zones in living and work areas are ways to reduce your exposure to electromagnetic fields.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Reducing the patient’s exposure to electromagnetic fields by extending their time away from sources and minimizing their proximity to them.
- Using EMF Shielding Products: Paints, blankets, curtains, and apparel that blocks electromagnetic fields help reduce symptoms.
- Symptom Management: Treating particular symptoms with the right pharmaceuticals, such as analgesics, painkillers, or sleep aids.
- Alternative Treatments: Some people find relief by employing radiation blockers or electromagnetic field (EMF) neutralizers, like shungite stones around electronics.
How Can Someone with an EHS Diagnose Avoid EMF Exposure?
Reducing exposure to electromagnetic fields is essential for EHS patients to manage their symptoms. Cutting back on EMF exposure can be accomplished by:
1. Using Wired Devices: Avoid using Wi-Fi and cell phones in favour of wired landline and internet connections.
2. Reducing Device Usage: To minimize exposure, use fewer electronic devices and take regular pauses.
3. Establishing EMF-Free Zones: Remove or switch off electronic gadgets to make specific places, including bedrooms, EMF-free zones.
4. Maintaining Distance: Particularly when you’re sleeping, keep electronics away from your body.
5. EMF shielding: To prevent or lessen EMF exposure, use EMF shielding materials as natural shungite stones, paints, and specialty fabrics.
- Monitoring EMF Levels: Use EMF meters to locate sources and implement measures to lessen exposure to those sources.
- Steer Clear of High-Level EMF Areas: Certain public areas, such phone towers, hospitals, libraries, and crowded shopping malls, may have greater EMF levels than others, which might cause symptoms.

What is radiation sickness
admin2024-07-19T07:59:15+00:00Radiation sickness happens when a large dose of high-energy radiation goes through your body and reaches your internal organs. It takes far more than what you might get from any medical treatment to cause it.
Doctors named the illness, which is technically known as acute radiation syndrome, after the atomic bombings that ended World War II. It’s not clear how many of the 150,000 to 250,000 people killed in those attacks died from radiation sickness. But estimates at the time put the number in the hundreds or thousands.
Since then, about 50 people have died from radiation sickness. That includes 28 workers and firefighters who were killed at the 1986 nuclear accident at Chernobyl in what is now Ukraine. More than 100 others at Chernobyl were diagnosed with acute radiation syndrome but survived.
Most of the other people who have died from it were scientists or technicians in U.S. or Soviet nuclear plants during the Cold War. But in 1999, three workers got radiation sickness after an accident involving nuclear fuel in Japan; two of them died. No cases of radiation sickness were reported after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in 2011.
Radiation Basics
The amount of radiation your body gets is measured in an international unit called a sievert (Sv). Symptoms of radiation sickness show up when you’re exposed to levels of more than 500 millisieverts (mSv), or half a sievert. More than 4 to 5 Sv is likely to be fatal. The workers who got radiation sickness at Chernobyl received doses that measured 700 mSv to 13 Sv.
Natural radiation is everywhere — in the air, the water, and materials like brick or granite. You typically get only about 3 mSv — three one-thousandths of a sievert — of radiation from these natural sources in a year.
Man-made sources of radiation from things like X-rays add about another 3 mSv. A CT (computerized tomography) scan, which involves several X-rays taken from different angles, delivers about 10 mSv. People who work in the nuclear industry aren’t allowed to be exposed to more than 50 mSv a year.
Symptoms of Radiation Sickness
The most common early symptoms of radiation sickness are the same as for many other illnesses — nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. They can start within minutes of exposure, but they may come and go for several days. If you have these symptoms after a radiation emergency, you should seek medical help as soon as it’s safe to do so.
You might also have skin damage, like bad sunburn, or get blisters or sores. Radiation may also damage the cells that make hair, causing your hair to fall out. In some cases, hair loss might be permanent.
The symptoms can go away entirely for anywhere from a few hours to weeks. But if they come back, they’re often worse.
Treatment
Radiation damages your stomach and intestines, blood vessels, and bone marrow, which makes blood cells. Damage to bone marrow lowers the number of disease-fighting white blood cells in your body. As a result, most people who die from radiation sickness are killed by infections or internal bleeding.
Your doctor will try to help you fight off infections. They might give you blood transfusions to replace lost blood cells. Or they may give you medications to try to help your bone marrow recover. Or they may try a transplant.
They also will give you fluids and treat other injuries like burns. Recovery from radiation sickness can take up to 2 years. But you’ll still be at risk of other health problems after recovery. For example, your odds of getting cancer are higher.
