Anything is possible.
In view of:
- the remarkable range of non-specific symptoms attributed to the
"syndrome";
- the lack of dose-response correlation and;
- repeated failures in blind provocation testing (symptoms reported in
the absence of the supposed stimulus and absence of reported symptoms in
its presence);
I rank the probability of EHS being substantiated as low.
For good or ill, the human mind is a powerful thing. It can keep us
going when we'd normally stop or die. It can also make us ill, or even
kill us.
Suppose I told someone that they had been cursed by a sorcerer. If they
were susceptible, then they might worry themselves sick, attributing
everyday aches and pains to the curse and imagining worse. They might
even die.
I guess it beats burning witches or cutting up albinos to use their body
parts in magic potions.
