There are two primary barriers that have inhibited the development of a strong research program in EMS. They are a paucity of well-trained researchers with an interest in EMS research and a lack of reliable funding sources to support research. There are also three identifiable secondary barriers to EMS research. They are: a lack of recognizing the need for evidence-based practice; standardizing, accessing and sharing data; and complying with the current established ethical requirements for human research.
To some extent, there is a chicken and egg phenomenon at work within the two primary barriers to developing a comprehensive EMS research program. For example, funding agencies understandably prefer to place their funds with researchers who have a track record of proven productivity. However, since there are not many proven researchers with interests in EMS problems, few funds flow into EMS-related research. On the other hand, academic institutions are reluctant to support the professional development of new, EMS-focused researchers because they cannot identify likely funding sources with a history of supporting EMS research.

Maybe researchers are asking the wrong question about EMF’s August 11, 2006

Research follows a particular methodology. But what if we changed the way we view it? Often medical research has looked for the cause of a particular disease, such as cancer. What if the cause and effect are not directly related?
People may show various illnesses because of their particular vulnerabilities. So the same cause might show up differently in different people. For instance, since radiation seems to affect the cell membrane, and the signaling in the body, the same cause (radiation) may look different in kids, for instance, than in adults.
Kids are more vulnerable because their skulls are thinner. Yet, they may have more immunity than their parents. And they are certainly getting more exposure to radiation that their elders did as kids.
So, setting up a good research program is complicated. It requires asking the right questions. And it requires being convincing enough to get the funding before the answers are there.
Personally, I don’t want to wait for the research. I think it is important to build the immune response against radiation now.
Younger participants in research react more than older persons. August 1, 2006

The amount of radiation emitted by mobile phones could pose serious health risks to users, according to a study released by a local scientist Monday. Kim Deok-won, a professor from Yonsei University’s college of medicine, said in the study that the extensive use of wireless handsets, using code-division multiple access (CDMA) technology, increased sweat in the hands of users. The reaction to mobile-phone radio waves were found to be more significant among younger people, the study said.
Kim’s research team conducted their experiments on 41 people, 20 of whom were under the age of 18. Twenty-three were male.
The study, published on the Internet version of the U.S. journal Bioelectromagnetics, marks the first time that the biological effects of radio waves produced by CDMA handsets were confirmed by solid data, according to Kim.
“It is the first time to find that the extensive use of CDMA mobile-phones could increase hand sweating,’’ said Kim, adding that the biological reaction to mobile-phone radio waves were more significant among the younger participants of the studies.
