It seems that the presence of mobile phone masts can indeed make people severely ill, but
this has nothing to with radio waves - and probably everything to do with the fact that
the sufferers expect to be harmed.

Professor Fox told the BBC that "belief is a very powerful thing .. If you really believe
something is going to do you some harm, it will."

A bit like alleged anthropogenic global warming.

Yeah, and "M.E." - oops, "C.F.S." - oops, "malingering"... ;o)

Those conditions are recognised by the medical world. "mast-sensitive"
as far as I am aware is definitely not recognised (and I pray it never
does become so).

Actually, M.E. has been proven not to exist, and C.F.S. means nothing at
all. ;o)

I know what you mean though...
