From: Arthur FirstenbergRe: Fwd: Question on Taiwan EMS/EHS prevalence studyDate: Friday, February 15, 2019To Everyone,I have both general and specific comments. First, the word "idiopathic" in medicine means "cause unknown." The term "idiopathic environmental intolerance" was invented by the petrochemical and telecommunications industries as a technique to marginalize claims that their products are poisoning people. Any study that uses the term "IEI" is an industry-sponsored study in some respect.Second, I also avoid ever using the terms "electrosensitivity" or "hypersensitivity" because they are not medical terms and nobody has ever defined them. When someone is poisoned, they are poisoned, not sensitive. No one uses the term "strychnine sensitivity" or "strychnine allergy." The canaries in the coal mines were not called "allergic to carbon monoxide". Nobody said, "poor canaries, there is something wrong with them." They were perfectly healthy birds. The same with people who notice what EMFs are doing to them and are trying to warn the rest of the population.What is remarkable about the two Taiwanese studies is the obvious decline in public health between 2007 and 2012.Excellent health Good health Fair health Poor health Very poor healthSurvey population 2007 24.8% 37.6% 25.6% 10.6% 1.4%Survey population 2012 5.2% 26.7% 58.4% 8.4% 1.2%IEI-EMF 2007 24.1% 35.9% 21.8% 12.9% 5.3%IEI-EMF 2012 4.5% 21.3% 60.6% 11.0% 2.6%Two important conclusions can be drawn:1. The health of the entire population of Taiwan declined significantly in just five years.
2. The health of people who call themselves EHS is no different from the health of the general population. EHS is not a disease.Arthur
