I am a healthy forty year old, I work out 5 days a week, play soccer and golf at the weekends and can’t remember the last time I visited a doctor but I can tell you straight up that I had to get rid of my wireless router at home as it was making both myself and my wife sick. Count yourself lucky that you don’t have this sensitivity, I work in the IT industry and suffer from it and I can tell you it’s very real.

He is certainly damaged, but appears to be somewhat functional.

Kneil, I think he’s already broken.

The article says that he only feels ill if he enters the building, my my informal survey in Seattle shows at least 3 (usually 5+) wifi signals everywhere downtown. My own (quiet, affluent) suburb has some empty spots, but they are small.

I wonder if this data would cure him or break him…

Great idea – hang the WI-FI sign up where there is no WI-FI. I love it!

Tell them if they’re suffering that much to go live in a cabin in Alaska. It’s hard to find WiFi there.

Sounds like a great JREF million dollar challenge claim to me. I wonder if he (and the JREF) would go for it. Seems like it should be a pretty simple thing to set up as a double blind test.

If he wins, he’ll get a million bucks, which should be enough to buy a really nice Faraday cage, and a leg to stand on when he’s asking others to turn off their wi-fi.

I have a strong feeling that he isn’t willing to put it to an objective test. He could prove me wrong.
