from Olle JOhansson:

Dear All,

I have now made a short summary of our recent article:

Holmboe G, Johansson O, "Symptombeskrivning samt f?omst av IgE och positiv
Phadiatop Combi hos personer med funktionsneds?ningen el?k?lighet",
(="Description of symptoms as well as occurrence of IgE and positive
Phadiatop Combi in persons with the physical impairment
electrohypersensitivity", in Swedish), Medicinsk Access 2005; 1 (5): 58-63
http://www.medicinskaxess.se/nr5/eloverkanslighet5.pdf

SUMMARY
In this paper, the functional impairment electrohypersensitivity is
investigated. The aim of the study was to characterize the complex set of
symptoms and to order them according to the WHO's ICQ10 register of
diagnoses. Furthermore, we also tested for the presence of increased levels
of IgE or signs of a positive Phadiatop Combi (which is a screening test for
allergies towards certain articles of food, pollen, insects and other
animals) which both would be indicators of an immune system alert. If such
increases would be found, they could then be used in the diagnosis of
electrohypersensitivity.

Twenty-two persons (5 men, 17 women) participated. The age range was between
25 and 79 years. The symptoms were given in a ranked scale where the
symptoms were attributed points according to the following: 0 = no symptoms
at all, 1 = occasional, mild symptoms 2 = occasional, severe symptoms 3 =
regular, mild symptoms 4 = regular, severe symptoms.

Symptoms of the skin and the nervous systems dominated the picture. The most
frequent ones were skin redness, eczema and sweating, loss of memory,
concentration difficulties, sleep disturbances, dizziness as well as
muscular and joint-related pain, and muscular and joint-related weakness.
Headache, faintness, nose blockade and fatigue were also common. In
addition, 19 of the persons had symptoms from the gastrointestinal tract.
All (!) the persons with the impairment electrohypersensitivity had
tinnitus.

No connection between IgE blood levels and symptoms could be found, all the
persons with electrohypersensitivity had normal values (<122 kU/l). Only 3
persons had a positive Phadiatop Combi.

In summary, it is of paramount importance to continue the investigation of
persons with the impairment electrohypersensitivity. We would favour studies
of electromagnetic fields' interaction with mast cell release of histamine
and other biologically active substances, studies of lymphocyte viability as
well as studies of the newly described serotonin-containing melanocytes.
Also, continued analysis of the intraepidermal nerve fibers and their
relations to these mast cells and serotonin-containing melanocytes are very
important. Finally, not to be forgotten, a general investigation - of
persons with the impairment electrohypersensitivity versus normal healthy
volunteers - regarding the above markers as well as other markers for cell
traffic, proliferation and inflammation is very much needed.

Such scientific work may lay a firm foundation for necessary adjustment of
accessibility, thus helping and supporting all persons with the impairment
electrohypersensitivity.

Best regards
Yours
Olle

Thanks for the EHS paper, Jan.

I have been sitting here for the last several weeks thinking, "Gees, the people at this forum mention so many of the things I have been studying. I wonder what the connection could possibly be?" While reading this paper, I came upon the list of symptoms people with ES were reporting to have and thought, "GEES, this sounds an exactly like serotonin hyperactivity!" Sure enough, later in the paper, they are relating this to possible "serotonin-containing melanocytes". Hmmm.... looks like I am indeed not in the wrong forum! ;) When I came here, I was looking for more info on H- ionization (specifically negative hydrogen water) to neutralize hyperactive serotonin. This was a very interesting paper, Jan.



Thanks again,

Diane aka Evie aka Mia

Oh, Diane, note that I did try some NADH, and didn't notice any reaction
from it. Meanwhile, I still have a good reaction from Megahydrin powder
(a source of H-).

Also, in the area of adverse reactions, I tried a tablespoon of
Lecithin granules earlier this week. Big mistake. I got a nasty
headache, and my brain has felt like "mush" (if anyone can relate
to that) ever since. I guess the dosage was too large, or that
soybean lecithin is simply not as good as an egg yolk...

Marc

I'm fairly new to this list....am also very excited about the information
posted here.

I've been very busy the last few months....didn't jump into the discussion
about solar activity....although sensitivity to solar/seismic activity
has been my passion for nearly two decades.

Wondering if anyone has studied the work of Felix Gad Sulman?

Best thoughts,
Nancy

Wow, Marc,

re the lecithin granules! I took lecithin about 20 years ago, but my recollection is it was a smaller amount.

I still haven't tried your megahydrin, tho I am getting more serious about it! I am still looking into the negative hydrogen water machine. If anyone here has tried one or knows someone who has, I would appreciate knowing about it. Thanks.

PS on the NADH, you may not have given it enough time or taken enough, Marc. But if you took an equal amount NADH/cost of megahydrin, I'd stick with that anyway if you are happy.
