Abstract
Myelin
provides the electrical insulation for the central and peripheral
nervous system and develops rapidly in the first years of life, but
continues into mid-life or later. Myelin integrity is vital to
healthy nervous system development and functioning. This review
outlines the development of myelin through life, and then considers
the evidence for an association between myelin integrity and exposure
to low-intensity radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs)
typical in the modern world. In RF-EMF peer-reviewed literature
examining relevant impacts such as myelin sheath, multiple sclerosis,
and other myelin-related diseases, cellular examination was included.
There are surprisingly little data available in each area, but
considered together a picture begins to emerge in RF-EMF-exposed
cases: (1) significant morphological lesions in the myelin sheath of
rats; (2) a greater risk of multiple sclerosis in a study subgroup;
(3) effects in proteins related to myelin production; and (4)
physical symptoms in individuals with functional impairment
electrohypersensitivity, many of which are the same as if myelin were
affected by RF-EMF exposure, giving rise to symptoms of
demyelination. In the latter, there are exceptions; headache is
common only in electrohypersensitivity, while ataxia is typical of
demyelination but infrequently found in the former group. Overall,
evidence from in vivo and in vitro and epidemiological studies
suggests an association between RF-EMF exposure and either myelin
deterioration or a direct impact on neuronal conduction, which may
account for many electrohypersensitivity symptoms. The most
vulnerable are likely to be those in utero through to at least
mid-teen years, as well as ill and elderly individuals.
