I wonder if there's a burgeoning but untapped market for Faraday headwear.

I use to wonder, when I was a kid, how come a radio can work inside the house. Discovering the electromagnetic waves go everywhere was a little unsettling considering we operate (or not) on electrochemical impulses.
Of course the amount of waves zipping through the air is increasing exponentially. At work, everything coming in has RFID tags and you can't walk 100 feet without passing through a scanning field. At DuPont, the door would unlock as I approached with a RFID in my wallet.... in my back pocket. That means the waves had to go through me. Calling it "hypochondria" or "psychosomatic" doesn't make it so. There are plenty of people suffering from things the majority don't. They are written off as crackpots until someone discovers the cause/effect is valid, even if it only applies to a handful of people. If she was trying to make a buck off it, I'd be immediately suspicious but I doesn't cost me anything to give her the benefit of the doubt.

The failure of the double-blind test makes it hypochondria or psychosomatic. If she were trying to make a buck off of it, it would be neither- it would be fraud, or a scam.

What double blind test? I didn't see any reference to one in the article, did I miss something?

For while when I was young Florsent lights used to mess with me , they would fiicker and I could feel it in my teeth , just a slight buzzing , fillings ????
I can hear some scales working , Electro-magnetic compinsation load cells speficaly , they buzz when they are powered up , a few years ago I took a class and I asked the instructer about this , he said that the coil does vibrate , but most folks can't hear it . I guess that I am just special !!!!

Oh ok, I thought he mean she was double blind tested.
I agree there have been tests of different electronics gizmos and nobody has been able to prove a link to any health problems, yet. That said, I can believe that some people are bothered by them, even if it's only a handful. It'll be 50 years or more before they really know.

Health effects are one thing- an increased incidence of cancer is possible. But if she can accurately detect whether a cell phone is on in a room she's in, she could probably get $1,000,000 from James Randi.
