Structuring decisions: Should electromagnetic hypersensitivity be acknowledged as a medical condition caused by electric fields?

I examine the question whether Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) should be acknowledged as a medical condition caused by electric fields (EFs) or not.

Figure 1 shows my attempt to structure my thinking about this topic using a decision tree technique. In rest of the post, I explain my thoughts about this decision tree. This type of exercise can help to clarifying thinking, to guide collection of facts and to help at communicating the decision. You can find conclusions at the end of this post.
