........From a good man -- Dr. Dahlberg.....  But I do worry that this
kind of suggestion opens the door for a lot of "malingering" symptoms to
be blamed on EMF......Perhaps unjustifiably......guru......

Dear Roy:

As reported in the October 2 issue of U. S. News & World Report, chronic
fatigue syndrome may be a physical problem.  At the American Society for
Microbiology meeting in Toronto, A. Martin Lerner, Clinical Professor at
Wayne State University reported on two small studies in which the research
team found  that 95 % of chronic fatigue patients had abnormal
electrocardiograms.  An abnormal electrocardiogram can indicate heart
damage and Dr. Lerner has suggested that a combination of Epstein-Barr
virus and cytomegalovirus in the heart cause the damage.   He concludes
that the damaged heart is responsible for the symptoms associated with
chronic fatigue syndrome.

Having investigated many cases of health problems associated with exposure
to various sources of electromagnetic energy, I have some questions.

1.  Is there some connection between actions of a virus and electromagnetic
energy?  The symptoms associated with exposure to power frequency, radio
and micro wave frequencies, electrocution from AC or DC sources, etc. are
very similar to those reported by people suffering from chronic fatigue
syndrome and Lyme disease.

2.  Is there a possibility that the abnormal electrocardiogram is caused by
an exposure to electromagnetic energies that affects the electrical
circuits of the heart, and the weakened heart is susceptible to the virus?

3.  Can an abnormal electrocardiogram also be one of the symptoms of
chronic electromagnetic exposure which for some people leads to the
condition of electric sensitivity?  When exposed to sources of
electromagnetic energy, electrically sensitive people also report symptoms
very similar to those reported by those experiencing chronic fatigue
syndrome.
