I think several people (including yourself, Peggy) missed the point
of my message.

If someone joins this group, and says that they have bad reaction
to an apple, and then goes onto say that this means they have
electrical sensitivity because of they are reacting to the EMF
emitted by the apple, I think many people would have a problem
with that. And that is essentially what Garth and myself were
doing when we saw Karen's messages about various things emitting
EMF. However, subsequent messages from Karen confirmed that she
does indeed have ES, although she didn't make that clear originally.

The original intent of this group was for people to share what
they have tried to improve their ES, and whether or not it
worked for them. The idea being that if something works for
one person, then it may work for someone else. Prior to this
forum, most of the information on ES was that it either did
not exist, or there was nothing you could do about it other
than avoid sources of EMF. This group rejects both of
those assertions.

As for this being a "scientific" or "medical" forum, I'm not
sure what you mean by this exactly.

> What is your definition of electrical sensitivity Marc?

If a person has a negative health reaction to something
that operates on electricity, then that's electrical
sensitivity. You'll see that people having a negative
reactions to an apple (or flouric acid) don't fall into
that category.
