Comment: This is at present a duplicate of the article on electromagnetic hypersensitivity. There is also a sourcing issue here, in that Wikipedia prefers secondary and tertiary sources, as primary sources so often lack context. This is particularly important for contentious topics, where the many primary research papers often give conflicting findings. Most of the papers cited are primary and risk the accusation of cherry-picking in an attempt to support an untenable thesis. They can be used to support the findings of reliable and peer-reviewed secondary and tertiary sources (overviews, popular journal articles, books, etc.) but not to verify any particular thesis. Another issue is the need to cite inline the source of any given contentious claim and not leave the reader to wonder where in the bibliography it might be found. Some useful explanations of all this may be fond at WP:RS, WP:CITE and, in the present context, WP:MEDRS. It is particularly important that you highlight any secondary sources, as defined at WP:MEDDEF, that you have cited, and/or find additional ones to cite. I would also suggest that you format this draft as a set of discrete topics or passages which might be added to the EHS or MCS articles or possibly elsewhere, as it becomes much harder then for the nay-sayers to point at breaches of procedure. All this comes with no promise from me that Wikipedia's current take on the science may not prevail, I remain open on this matter. But I will try to stop procedural wrangling from getting in the way of the science. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 11:00, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Edits to current entry:
Some scientists have been able to conduct successful provocation studies, however, showing that "thyroid dysfunction, liver dysfunction and chronic inflammatory processes in small but remarkable fractions of EHS sufferers as potential sources of symptoms that merit further investigation in future studies. In the cases of TSH and ALT/AST there were significant differences between cases and controls. The hypotheses of anaemia or kidney dysfunction playing a major role in EHS could be unambiguously refuted. Clinically it is recommended to check for signs of treatable somatic conditions when caring for individuals suffering from self-proclaimed EHS. "Our results identified laboratory signs of thyroid dysfunction, liver dysfunction and chronic inflammatory processes in small but remarkable fractions of EHS sufferers as potential sources of symptoms that merit further investigation in future studies"[1]
