The man who was sensitive
October 18, 2024
Do you have allergies?
Then you know what it is to feel sick when you’re exposed to whatever it is that’s the trigger.
But what if the trigger were your wireless devices and the powerlines that service your home?
I’d like to tell you the story of a young man from France who is the subject of a case study by an international team of researchers.
The 25-year-old from Compiegne suffers with a range of symptoms (electromagnetic hypersensitivity) when he’s exposed to electromagnetic fields from electrical and telecommunications equipment.
The researchers say, ‘His symptoms include but are not limited to: sensation of pressure in the skull, sensation of acute and burning cerebral pain following a vascular trajectory; pain in the temporal region and circle of Willis; fatigue; difficulty in concentration; memory loss; lack of focus; reduced motor function; insomnia; nausea; hearing deficit and/or hyperacuity; and problems with vision. In addition, the patient experienced acute thoracic pain, dyspnea, and spasms …; variations in arterial tension; intestinal transit problems; generalized trembling; spasms/microspasms in internal tissues (not related to muscular activity); and contractile sensations in the teeth. There is further generalized pain throughout the body, heaviness in the limbs, reduced sensitivity/feeling in the face and arms, and generalized retraction in the superficial veins’.
The symptoms occur within 20 minutes of exposure and the man requires at least two hours to recover afterwards. They have become more severe over time, making it impossible for him to work or to spend time in the modern technological world.
In search of answers, the man underwent a battery of medical tests – but none of them could account for his severe reactions to electromagnetic fields.
However, subsequent biochemical analysis of his blood provided clues that the research team think could help explain his condition.
They found that the man’s blood had lower levels of antioxidants (Vitamin C, beta-Carotene and Coenzyme Q) than normal. There was also evidence of higher-than-normal levels of ROS (reactive oxygen species), which are unstable molecules that can damage the body and cause oxidative stress.
They also found a 40-fold increase in a toxic byproduct of oxidative stress (called Low-Density Lipoprotein [LDLox]), which can cause hardening of the arteries and inflammation.
The authors think this could help explain the patient’s condition. They say, ‘The current case report provides a clue as to the missing link between the dramatic symptoms experienced by EHS patients and a subtle increase in cellular oxidative stress triggered by man-made EMFs. The answer may lie within the immune system, as demonstrated by the increase in this patient’s antibodies to LDL oxidase [LDLos], a lipid oxidation product formed by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cell. Even a minor increase in LDLox, for instance in exposed membranes of the vasculature, could plausibly elicit a severe auto-immune reaction. This would explain the rapid onset and severity of the patient’s EHS symptoms, including to brain, blood vessels and circulation. Furthermore, the progressive nature of his symptoms, which have worsened over time, are consistent with increasing immune response as a result of repeated exposure (‘boosting’) to an EMF elicitor. The fact that standardized tests for autoimmune or allergen pathology of this patient proved negative (CRC, ANCA, etc.) (Figure 1c) is consistent with the transient nature of the EMF elicitor and the rapid elimination of ROS and ROS byproducts subsequent to EMF removal.’
Further, the authors say that these reactions can occur from exposure to environmental electromagnetic fields that are far lower than and comply with levels specified in international standards.
They suggest that electromagnetic hypersensitivity and multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), which are closely related, could be more likely to occur in people who have lower coping mechanisms for oxidative stress.
