Prof.  Dominique Belpomme, Oncologist, Professor of the Centre Hospitalier  
Universitaire Necker-Enfants Malades, Chairman of Research for  Anti-Cancer
Therapeutics (ARTAC), in lecture  **Diagnostic and  Therapeutic Protocols
for Electromagnetic Fields  Intolerance**, showed  results of a clinical
observation on more than 450 patients enrolled from 2008  to 2011. He and his
team use a new technique to make the diagnosis to people  reporting reactions
to electromagnetic fields. The new technique is the **Pulsed  Eco-Doppler**
of the brain that combines the eco-doppler with a computer to  evaluate
brain perfusion. Unlike some other methods, this one is not  dangerous and it
does not involve any ionizing radiation. The results show that  people with
Electromagnetic Fields  Intolerance have a reduced perfusion in the brain,
particularly in the left part  of the limbic area of the brain, compared to the
control group. This is a very  particular area, because it is the *ancient*
part of the brain that controls  many body functions.  
His  team uses also other tests, such as the dosage of histamine, of
protein  S100B, and of heat shock proteins hsp70 and hsp27 in the blood. The 70%
of the  group of patients observed showed a serious reduction of vitamin D,
about  1-2% of the patients showed an increase of proteins hsp27 and hsp70,
while more  than the 40% of the sample had increased histamine, a fact that
is fully  compatible with a physiological interpretation of this syndrome.
About 10% of  the patients had an increased protein S100B, which is a marker
for Blood  Brain Barrier (BBB) permeability. In one third of the sample, a
reduction of  melatonin in urine was found, and this can explain symptoms such
as fatigue,  insomnia and depression in these patients.
These alterations are quite  similar to the ones found in patients with
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity  (MCS)

particularly regarding the brain perfusion reduction, the  neurogenic
inflammation, the oxidative stress increase, and the  reduction of the defense
mechanism. The fact that EMF induces the  opening of the BBB may interfere with
the brain protection from toxic  chemicals. It is not uncommon, in fact, that
patients with EFI Syndrome have MCS  symptoms, while many patients with MCS
also react to EMF.  
Given the strong  correlation found by six epidemiologic studies on EMF
exposure and Alzheimer  Disease (AD), Prof. Belpomme believes that any
electrosensitive patient with  memory dysfunctions should be evaluated also for AD.
He stresses the fact that  AD is a loss of long term memory while EFI
Syndrome often involves the loss of  short term memory, but this symptom may be
considered as a pre-Alzheimer  condition
