Re: Expert Panel Report on radio frequency fields -Reply

I think there is only one real syndrome, the name changes to fit the fear.  For
example, many of the symptoms of drug abuse resemble depression or stress. 
Come to think of it, they're the same symptoms you listed.  I wonder how they
isolated the cause to RF?

    I had the same problem yesterday.  By the way, did you read near the end,
section 8.5 - Radiofrequency radiation (RF) Sickness Syndrome - "Radiofrequency
radiation (RF) sickness syndrome has been defined as a systemic human response
to chronic low-intensity (RF) exposure, RF sickness symptoms include headache,
ocular dysfunction, fatigue, dizziness and sleep disorders. ... I don't suppose
you have ever read about a chronic low level radiation syndrome for ionizing
radiation have you - you know - headaches, dizziness, fatigue, irritability,
from anyone on this listserver about low level effects of radiation ...  well,
it is friday and I couldn't resist my own attempt at humor at the expense of
some very good people.  Have a good day.
