Flawed Essex Study Eliminates Sufferers to Get Desired Result

What a surprise!

After eliminating the most sensitive electrosentive volunteers for being made too ill to continue the Essex study finds that electrosensitivity is all in the mind.

The BBC predictably quote Rubin - the king of other similarly flawed studies - to give the thumbs up.

Predictably "old friends" are cooing here .

Good of the Psychology department to conclude EHS is psychological. Maybe the Biophysics department would have been a better place to look?

Still, you get what you pay for and this one was paid for by the Mobile Phone Industry and the Government (although not very well paid, since most volunteers grumbled at how stingy the expenses paid were for travelling - £30 max I'm told).
