Dr Olle Johansson – Electrohypersensitivity: A Functional Impairment due to a Toxic Environment?
December 27, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Is electrohypersensitivity (EHS) actually the new normal?
In this informative expert briefing, Olle will cover research findings since the 1980s, beginning with the trade unions’ focus on skin changes, even though this had first been observed 100 years before. He will explain findings using various histological, histopathological and molecular tools demonstrating alterations in mast cells, dendritic cells, lymphocytes, Merkel cells, and more. The very interesting dramatic reductions of nerve fibre densities in facial skin biopsies forms a scientific base to explain electrohypersensitivity. He will show how corresponding studies in rat models rule out the impact of psychological/psychiatric factors, stress, conditioning, imagination, mass media-driven psychoses, etc.
He himself has conducted a double-blind test of electrohypersensitive persons using cell phones. He will report on open tests of normal healthy volunteers using household TV-sets and ordinary home computers. Why did it take 6 years for these to be published? He will also discuss his studies showing the connection of FM radio and malignant melanoma. He will examine the prevalence of EHS and the initial complaints – are they the same 2022 as 1982? Perhaps the most fundamental issue is: what is actually wrong here? Are we dealing with an individual functional impairment of electrohypersensitivity … or the toxic environment of electrosmog?
