    The Brundtland/Repacholi controversy continues : Dariusz Leszczynski comments

    In Dariusz’s latest column he explores the limitations of EHS research studies to date and the role of the nocebo effect and how this has been one of the arguments dismissing the existence of causal link between EHS and EMF. An interesting commentary and well worth the read – whether you agree or not with the points raised.

    Electromagnetic hypersensitivity in limelight in Norway – brought by an unlikely adversary

    Excerpt:

    Former Head of the WHO EMF Project, Mike Repacholi, commented in Norwegian newspapers that the former Head of the WHO, Gro Harlem Brundtland, spread “fear of cell phones” when she publicly admitted to being electromagnetic hypersensitive (EHS). This is an overstatement as 6 billons of cell phone users attest.

    HELSINKI, April 14, 2012″”On April 12, Mona Nilsson blogged that Norwegian newspapers brought attention to EHS. Nilsson is an investigative reporter who in 2011 uncovered the industry connections of Swedish epidemiologist Anders Ahlbom, leading to his resignation from the IARC meeting classifying carcinogenicity of cell phone radiation.

    According to Nilsson’s posting, three major Norwegian newspapers published simultaneously on April 12, a story where Mike Repacholi, former Head of WHO EMF Project and Chairman Emeritus of the ICNIRP, complains that Gro Harlem Brundtland, former Head of the WHO, spread fear of cell phones by admitting that she suffers EHS symptoms from cell phone radiation,. Also, Norwegian journal Plot published in April/May issue a long story about this subject.
