In critically examining literature on electrohypersensitivity and the reported somatic responses to anthropogenic modulated radiofrequency radiation (RFR) exposure, it becomes apparent that electrohypersensitivity is one part of a range of consequences. Current evidence on the necessity of considering patients' overall health status leads us to propose a new model in which electrohypersensitivity is but part of the electrosensitive status inherent in being human. We propose the likelihood and type of response to environmental RFR include i) a linear somatic awareness continuum, ii) a non-linear somatic response continuum, and iii) the extent of each individual's capacity to repair damage (linked to homeostatic response). We anticipate this last, dynamic, aspect is inextricably linked to the others through the autonomic nervous system. The whole is dependent upon the status of the interconnected immune and inflammatory systems. This holistic approach leads us to propose various outcomes. For most, their body maintains homeostasis by routine repair. However, some develop electrohypersensitivity either due to RFR exposure or as an ANS-mediated, unconscious response (aka nocebo effect), or both. We suggest RFR exposure may be one factor in the others developing an auto-immune disease or allergy. A few develop delayed catastrophic disease such as glioma. This model gives the blanket term ElectroMagnetic Illness (EMI) to all RFR-related conditions. Thus, EHS appears to be one part of a range of responses to a novel and rapidly changing evolutionary situation.
在批判性地审视有关电超敏反应和报告的人为调制射频辐射（RFR）暴露引起的躯体反应的文献时，很明显电超敏反应是一系列后果的一部分。目前关于必须考虑患者整体健康状况的证据使我们提出了一个新模型，其中电超敏反应只是人类固有电敏感状态的一部分。我们提出对环境 RFR 的反应的可能性和类型包括：i）线性躯体感知连续体，ii）非线性躯体反应连续体，以及 iii）每个个体修复损伤的能力（与体内平衡反应相关）的程度。我们预计，最后一个动态方面通过自主神经系统与其他方面不可分割地联系在一起。整体取决于相互关联的免疫和炎症系统的状态。这种整体方法使我们提出了各种结果。对于大多数人来说，他们的身体通过常规修复来维持体内平衡。然而，有些人由于 RFR 暴露或作为自主神经系统介导的无意识反应（又称反安慰剂效应）或两者兼而有之地发展出电超敏反应。我们认为 RFR 暴露可能是其他人发展出自免疫性疾病或过敏的一个因素。少数人会发展出迟发性灾难性疾病，如神经胶质瘤。该模型将所有与 RFR 相关的病症统称为电磁病（EMI）。因此，EHS 似乎是对新的快速变化的进化情况的一系列反应的一部分。
