Once again you have no idea what you are talking about. EMF radiation causes all kinds of problems for those people that are sensitive to its effects. You are welcome to move next to the high-tension power lines. Count me out.

Why does Sweden recognize it when there's no scienctific research linking EHS to EMF exposure?

Try living 20 meters from them, which is an entirely different story.

You guys need to focus more on quality instead of quantity.

You seem to believe that the right amount of waves can give relief to fibromyalgia patients yet can't believe that they might cause damage. That just doesn't make sense.
I had no idea about EMF sensivity until I had a cellphone next to my brain. The pain and the headaches that they caused made me want to inform myself and that's when I first heard that I wasn't the only one.

Sure did. You failed to discuss the reasoning behind it. Failed to explain that WIFI and microwave ovens operate on a frequency range that are almost the same.
Also failed to talk about the difference in power output.
Was this information left out on purpose to sway the argument?
It's unfortunate many people aren't accepting our conclusions.

You are correct. It is tuned, just like an antenna must be tuned to a given wavelength. That's more so for the sake of the electronics.
Still there are no long term studies as WIFI is relatively new. That is the point in trying to make.
So your router may not be cooking you like a microwave oven, but there is no evidence yet that all those RF waves are not harming you over the long term.

It's unfortunate many people aren't accepting our conclusions. However, the most significant point to consider is that the vast majority of parties attempting to substantiate their claims that non-ionizing EMF is harmful are being both incredibly deceptive, and trying to sell remedies.

Think of it like this. You can be exposed to a big dose of radiation and die fast, or you can be exposed to a tiny dose over time and die over months or years.
The same very well can hold true to any RF source. You pointed out the sun as a source, thanks for that. Ever hear of skin cancer?

Not believing in EMF sensibility is like not believing someone who's really been abducted by aliens. Just like EMF, you aren't going to get any proof unless you are a victim yourself. Then, you will believe.

When I see blatant ignorance like this garbage opinion piece in the OP, I have to ask a very simple two part question... Are you a scientist or engineer and if so, do you have any, any at all, exposure to this kind of actual research?
I somehow doubt it so I will leave you with a quote;
"When a distinguished, but elderly, scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong." - Arthur C. Clarke

eta: it's MY opinion that there are quite a few researchers who'd love to find something like this, but haven't been able to substantiate it.
