As science won't research there one calls it pseudo-science.
Interesting claims, but where is your NON-pseudoscience evidence? Quite contrary to your bogus "science won't research" claim, MANY double-blind studies found that people who BELIEVED they were exposed to EM (even when not) sufferered allergies. Nocebo effect every time. If you are interested in researching your own nonscientific belief system on this topic in a scientific way, follow the references starting here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electr...persensitivity

"Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is a proposed pathological sensitivity to electromagnetic fields in the environment. ... Those who are self-described with EHS report responding to low-level electromagnetic fields at intensities well below the maximum levels permitted by international radiation safety standards. ... double-blind experiments have shown that people who report electromagnetic hypersensitivity are unable to detect the presence of electromagnetic fields and are as likely to report ill health following a sham exposure as they are following exposure to genuine electromagnetic fields, suggesting the cause in these cases to be the nocebo effect."

But electrical exposure does have its uses.

Electric bone growth stimulation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2762253/

Electric brain stim for faster learning: http://www.wired.com/2013/05/brain-stimulation-math/

And for pain relief: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transc...ve_stimulation

And medical diathermy (even using the same 2.45GHz frequency of wifi and microwave ovens): http://www.healthline.com/health/diathermy

And Samsung has been demonstrating VR goggles with GVS (galvanic vestibular stimulation) which electrically stimulate the brain to make you feel rotation that matches the rotating virtual scenery: http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/14/11...t-vr-inner-ear

And a DIY GVS version I posted years ago: http://www.mtbs3d.com/phpbb/viewtopi...100783#p100783

However, as I said before, excessive exposure to ionizing radiation (shortwave UV, X-rays, cosmic radiation, etc.) can cause biological damage. And you get WAY MORE of that flying on airlines than in medical x-rays, which is a concern for repeated exposure: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/airc...radiation.html

Also as mentioned before, even human bodies emit radiation (photons at LWIR frequencies visible on thermal cameras). Here is a wonderful chart from xkcd showing relative exposures (too big to post, so a link): https://xkcd.com/radiation/

So yeah, though politicians are easily confused by science and do pass bogus laws, EM allergies have pretty well been proven false, and websites pushing it are pseudoscience. Wifi is more than safe. Personal beliefs are fine, but your bold public claims need a bold preponderance of evidence, especially when there is a ton on evidence to the contrary as I have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt (and I barelt scratched the surface).

Thus ends another great "little professor" lecture.
