Yesterday, Arthur Firstenberg published a newsletter which
highlighted the significance of the findings as described in the 2004
letter.
Electrosensitivity is also known as being electrically
hypersensitive (“EHS”). This condition has been reported to affect an
increasing number of people in Sweden, as well as in other countries
such as Sweden, Switzerland and the United States.
Olle Johansson and Örjan Hallberg’s
