......Drs. Reba Goodman and Martin Blank (Columbia U.) have performed
the cell stress experiments suggested here by Bill Curry......They
found that the stress reaction occurred as low as a 5 mG magnetic
field exposure....guru.....

Roy,
I am a non-medical doctor, but I'd like to put in my two cents worth on the
question of establishing a designation of ES. Some of the papers I have heard
or seen dealing with the stress responses of cells subjected to EMF suggest to
me that, once an individual has become sensitized to EMF, there is something
like an allergic response of the individual. I think this because the
cellular response is to produce stress proteins, and this response is very
similar to the response cells give when under siege by excessive heat or an
unfavorable chemical environment.
In both cases the production of stress proteins confers some protection on
the cell from potentially lethal excessive heating or unfavorable PH levels.
My speculation is that slow evolution of living things (both plant and
animals) developed these protective responses of cells to adverse changes in
their environment long before any organism experienced an environmental stress
due to EMF (except, of course, for those individuals unfortunate enough to be
subjected to lightning). Unfortunately, the cell's response to EMF may be an
inappropriate response, in that it may cause more harm than protection. If
this speculation should turn out to be correct, might it not be possible to
use gene modification to develop a more appropriate response to EMF on the
cellular level? Does this argument make sense to any of the rest of you?
