Essex study [Re: University doing EMF study; any feedback for her?]

[Guest guest]

Another important feedback to mention is that the often cited Essex study that

claims that people can't tell better than chance that the wireless signal is on

or off is deeply flawed. IIRC, it was:

1. Funded by industry.

2. Didn't achieve the proper number of participants needed for a good

statistical analysis

3. Excluded the people who were too sick to continue and had to drop out

4. Had inadequate washout times -- time is needed for patient recovery in

between exposures to avoid false positives

5. Didn't account for the diverse responses which could be caused by different

levels of sensitization to different frequencies, and possibly

electric/Intermediate Frequencies and other exposures which may have also been

present along with the wireless signal

6. A reanalysis of the study found participants actually could tell better than

chance...

The truth is twisted, again... and doctors are most likely to believe it is a

psychological nocebo effect...
