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"

Professor Dominique Belpomme found changes in blood molecules (heat shock proteins) and histamine levels that were markedly altered in a highly significant proportion of those tested, in comparison to the control group. Additionally a reduced circulation of blood to the brain compared to the control group was found. They concluded that EHS is “a real physical illness, like cancer or heart disease”.

Professor Magda Havas, a Trent University environmental scientist, used a wireless computer and a router on an EHS adult male. In a blind test Havas exposed him to microwave radiation at levels similar to those in an average wireless classroom. She found the closer the router, the faster the subject’s heart rate. Although the levels she used in the test were under Health Canada’s limit, Havas has a theory that may explain her findings. “Some percentage of the population is reacting to this microwave radiation”
