ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am now in my 70’s and have been adversely affected by RF radiation since 2009, when a transmitting "smart" meter was installed on my home. My heart was racing, I was unable to think or sleep, was labile and exhausted. I was soon affected by phone towers as much as a kilometer away, as well as by cellphones. Symptoms included insomnia, tinnitus, anxiety, digestive and circulatory problems, fatigue, poor memory, inability to think and make decisions. I could not stand in queues due to others with cellphones, and could not be in buildings with wifi after that started. I had to give up my consultancy career in 2011, due to being unable to be in so many environments. I was affected by fluorescent and LED lightbulbs and obviously unable to use a cell phone myself. I also became affected by lower frequency radiation, from circuitry in the walls at home. I used to travel frequently but now was, and am, unable to use any form of public transport or sleep in any venues with wifi. So I am unable to return to the country of my birth, where my family of origin live. I am unable to wait in waiting rooms, where others are on their phones; am unable to have Xrays, MRIs or CAT scans due to how I might be affected by the radiation; and do not know what would happen if I was ill and had to go to a hospital. Receiving no help from doctors who do not understand this issue, I spent thousands of dollars trying to help myself survive and recover: gadgets, shielding, therapies, blood tests, vitamins… My relationships were affected as many friends could not understand or be bothered with my inability to go places and do things. I see my own family less often than I would have as I had to move away from suburbia. My life has been quite isolated as I cannot join in the groups I used to participate in - learning, teaching, sharing, exercising. Instead I spend much time at home on my hardwired computer. Physically I am lately affected by extreme fatigue for days after exposure, rather than being aware of radiation at the time, as used to be the case. So this technology has in a sense made me an outcast, anxious about going places, unable to join in or contribute as I used to. It has changed my life to a very limited one (in Australia).

Hello, so typing the story again about how wireless radiation has affected my life is different today. Yes, my case has been difficult thru the lose my home and family relations in the process. MC/EFS and late stage chronic lyme disease with many co-infections I was lost without a doctor I trusted per Western terms but also quit stubborn in allowing my body to heal. I purchased a biofield device and treated myself, learning to read again, diminishing my nervous system over-reaction and detoxing all of the "stuff that doesn't belong" out of my body. This process took years with organs and systems running the wild game of catch up. I refused assitance and would not be drugged thus using all of my funds. Some things won't change like never putting on a headset, wearing ear buds, working in an office with dirty electricity not being away that the food I eat plays a role in my health along with exercise and contact withj a growing community of like minded people. This is what I did, stubborn yet up for the challenge. I would love to speak with an audience of what I went thru to not only raise awareness but also inspiration that it can be done against all odds. Respectfully Christy Knight

A former laboratory worker reports longstanding EMF hypersensitivity and barriers to insurance coverage a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been suffering from EMF hypersensitivity for almost 10 years now. I worked for many years at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where high-voltage power lines run across the lab, and RF communication with deep space occurs, so the EMF environment is very intense. My symptoms started gradually, and it took me a while to figure out the root cause. In addition, I used to use my iPhones regularly, speaking on them frequently. The last 10 years have been very difficult for me because my condition is not recognized, and I'm not able to get my insurance to pay for all the holistic treatments that have kept me going. I can hardly ask for accommodations at work because, again, my condition is not recognized. Please investigate this condition! I have found some research papers online that examine the effect of EMF on living beings and humans in particular, but the medical community is very behind and narrow-minded. They don't use critical thinking and assume that if they didn't learn about a condition in school, it must not be true! But technology has expanded so rapidly that the medical curriculum has not had a chance to keep up with this. I'm so grateful that this condition is finally being examined, and I am confident that we will soon have enough evidence that new regulations will be enforced and it will save lives.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a health practitioner, I'm a massage and bodywork therapist in practice for over 20 years, I am a Mother. I am also a Nationally Certifed Massage Therapy Educator. I am 52 yrs. old. I do not use a cellphone. Review RFs as well as the EMFs.WiFI needs to be contained, not floating around spikey waves hitting us & permeating through baby's bodies. Wifi causes pain and damage to the cells, when I am away from wifi, I feel better and have no pain, I notice a huge difference in optimal health. Treat us all like babys, we need nourishment, we need protection, we do not need to be bombarded by dangerous invisible wifi. GO back to ethernet cable, it was safer, faster. Minimize the excess towers & bring it back from 50 towers in our quaint town, minimize to one tower, place that one tower away from residential areas, away from schools so we don't have to be forced to homeschool. Less is more. Since the wifi radiation permeates, I need to use my measuring meters to make sure there are no RFs and EMFs from the neighbor's home permeating in to our new and existing home. I'm being forced to buy 16 or more acres in order to avoid wifi radiation and smartmeter radiation from a neighbor's home,& I also am being forced to turn down house buying arrangements because wifi radiation from a nearby neighbor right near the property line, is too close to the house I'm interested in buying & settling down it. So I am forced not to settle down I am forced to be an EHS-electrosensitive refugee. Solar power has TONS of DE dirty electricity, causes convulsions, pain, headaches, symptoms. Electric Cars have battery packs that have EMFS that exceed way off the charts where people are getting ELECTRICUTED just by sitting right next to the battery pack, it shows on my measuring meters. I bought an electric car thinking it was safe and then I got sick and sold it back 2 weeks later. Remember our bodies are electric. We can not have interference for our bodies to function properly. We don't want to be forced to buy wifi radiation in the vehicles, we always choose no wifi, remove the wifi, we had to remove the wifi out of our SUVs by taking out the radio hub, this is only allowed in Basic Vehicles, do not make this obsolete, keep this as an option. We don't want keyfobs, we do not want wifi controls, locks. We do not want wifi cities or wifi homes, make an option for non-wifi. Please take away these dangerous toys.Please help us, change standards, make strict limitations, minimize. Get rid of the dangerous wifi toys. For every technology run by wifi radiation, we need an analog, non-wifi version with no radiation offered. Do not replace everything with wifi radiation and think that is "better". We always choose non-digital and dials over digital with radiation. We always choose analog over digital, We choose copper landline over digital phone, do not make this obsolete. We choose dsl over fiber internet because fiber has high amounts of DE-dirty electricity. I am not the only one. Most of us are trying to escape the EMFs and RFs and are forced to live in a mobile home and travel around to escape a celltower being built next to us. I am forced to live on 16 acres or more to avoid RFs and EMFs from neighbors. I prefer living next to people but I need to live faraway and seclude myself away from neighbors with wifi radiation. There needs to be wifi radiation quiet zones and neighborhoods, and parts of the town that has no wifi radiation at all. I am forced to work in my home. I can not work in a wifi radiation massage and bodywork office. Electrosensitive are forced to make communities that are safe from the wifi radiation, EMFs, and DE-dirty electricity, quiet zones are very hard to find and make. This is survival away from radiation causing pain and anxiety. I have measuring meters to measure the levels in the sleep room, in the home, and on the perimeters of the home. Safe levels are 1.5 on a Trifield EMF Meter, .1-.3 is safe on an RF meter. Because health is more important. ~sent from an ethernet cabled desktop computer, no wifi.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
RFs - I have negative reactions to my health when I am working with wireless mouse, laptop, etc. vs wired ones. I can fee it in my hands. I get headaches as well when working with wireless equipment and in wireless building because when I do not go to the office and work from home on wired equipment I do not get those. Also, when I used to sleep with my phone charging next to me I was restless and did not have any energy the next day, I was tossing and turning all night, etc. Then, we started charging the phones in the other room and turning off cell and wifi and putting them on airplain mode and turning off the wifi for the house as well, sleep has been great. When I am on my cell phone for long my hand I hold it with starts hurting, when I am not on it it goes away. Not using microwave has helped tremendously as well with digesting foods better and headaches. RFs and EFs/dirty electricity - since sleeping in a bedroom further away from smart meter sleep has improved as well. Kids used to wake up many times per night and they sleep through the night now. They also used to get headaches as well. EMFs - EFs - before starting to turn breakers off at night, sleep was not good, electricity was making sleep not as restful. Putting Dirty electricity filter in the house has made headaches throughout the day better. I am attaching some files one EFs and RFs that the building biologist I worked with shared with me. I hope we can get our homes, schools and workplaces healthier!!!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I had EHS since at least 2015 when my dentist told me I have it (Sydney, Australia). With extreme mould exposure recently those old same symptoms have manifested strongly. Power lines and cell towers create stupidity, fatigue, memory loss, occasioanl 'too much effort to breathe in' situations where it seems as if I just 'stop'. My doctor metnions a relationship between the mould and my EHS. I've yet to be able to afford more tests for confirmations in the normal sense of the word. Hopefully with treatment my mould exposure can be ameliorated. Then hopefuly my EHS will revert back to 'lower' level pre mould exposure so that I cn function normally in society (ie. work in an office replete with emf/rf).

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you SO MUCH for opening this discussion! I have been telling people for decades that EMF / RF is like cigarette smoking -- smoking was everywhere, doctors endorsed it -- and then one lawsuit showed how much companies knew about the health problems, and it was gone. Time is valuable, so I will give a super quick overview of my personal experience with the problems with EMF / RF -- 1. When my son was a baby, he screamed whenever we drove past a cell tower. 2. When driving on the highway, I'll get a head ache, og over a hill, see the cell tower, think, "Oh, that is why my head hurts!", it will hurt until a hill is between me and it; until the next headache and the next cell tower revealed minutes later 3. I had to stop flying, after wifi on planes came, as I was getting nosebleeds 4. My horses take people cell phones out of their pockets and flip them into mud. 5. I wondered why I was getting pneumonia after concerts and similar large gatherings; it was being around so many people in such a small space, with their cell, wifi and bluetooth antennas all blazing away 6. The keyless entry cars give me a head ache. 7. Everyone who has taken my advice, to turn wifi and cell phones off at night, has noticeably benefited 8. I sleep better after making sure that there are no live electric wires running in the wall behind my head 9. Tinnitus inside the house (with really high dirty electricity), but not outside, or when the power is off. 10. The bald eagles on my land have not been able to raise chicks in the nest that gets the full force of the cell tower; plus the high RF areas have killed my trees, including the tree with the bald eagle nest. 12. My children became unhappy and difficult when we moved to a high EMF/ RF area 13. Visitors to my hard-wired, no wifi house sleep better than elsewhere, in spite of the dirty electricity

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Digital meters, 5G, and strong electric lines affect me in various ways! The meter on our house cause severe sleep deprivation and I feel a constant vibration inside my body. Some days/times it's much worse than others, but always constant! I can see a 5G tower from my home, only a few blocks away. Vibrations for stronger after it was installed. Wi-Fi contributes. I also feel a pressure and can get headaches when close to strong power lines. I have also experienced tooth pain and jaw pain from the same and possibly from some other strong electric/EMF fields/devices... As I have have experienced those symptoms without being able to identify what could be causing it...Alway while driving. But after getting some distance away, the symptoms disappear.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We, unfortunately, put solar on our roof. Almost immediately, my blood pressure skyrocked, woke up with heart palpitations, whole body shaking. Thought I was going to have a heart attack. It took a great deal of time to determine the cause. Had the solar turned off after threatening Solar City. We had a guy come and check the energy levels in the house, was through the roof. Changed our electronic meter to a "read" meter. Blood pressure returned to normal 110/70 and have not had an issue since. I have ALL the documentation on this. Shocking to me that people buy electric cars without a thought they are living in an electrical box!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In 2001, Andrew and his newlywed wife moved into a newly constructed home. After about 6 months, they both experienced headaches and an intense fatigue everyday around 5-7pm, showed signs of discoloration under and around the eyes and burning on the skin. Andrew had became electrically sensitive (ES) to everything electrical in the home including cell phones, WiFi, bluetooth and outside TV/radio and cell towers. They began to suspect that the radio tower across the street might have been the cause. Electrical engineer and EMF specialist Charles Keen (emfservices.com) just happened to be driving from Florida through the state the following day. We began our discovery with him and learned about the wiring problems and code violations in our home in addition to the nearby tower radiation levels. For example, Charles found 9V of electricity in the bed which explained the crawling sensation on Andrew's face at night and fans, outlets, panels and other incorrectly wired devices created magnetic fields across the living areas. Repairing the home wiring helped reduce some symptoms, but it was too late. Moving at the 2 year mark to another home wasn't enough to eliminate the pain, headaches and fatigue from a different radio/TV tower or the electric fields from basic home wiring. We moved again to an apartment while looking for the 3rd home. Finally, after finding a home in 2006 that seemed to satisfy all the basic tower minimum readings, living in this new environment led to the discovery of even deeper home wiring issues and grounding problems that my body was becoming sensitive to. Despite seeing every medical professional available specializing in anything related to the symptoms, things became worse. Doctors tried heavy metal chelation therapy, UV blood treatments, Neurological testing, herbal and vitamin therapies, etc., etc. Finding his brother's dairy raw colostrum seemed to help the most, Andrew put up a website to alert others of this unique condition and its pitfalls. Andrew had also been hiring EMF experts like Karl Riley to come and troubleshoot the home wiring problems and had gradually acquired a number of meters and a personal preference to tracing techniques. Being ES, he was aware of some problems that were not being typically traced. His full time career as a professional musician (principal horn of the NC Symphony) became exceeding difficult to perform with this condition (around wi-fi, cell phones, poor electrical wiring) and in 2007 changed to teaching music at UNC at Chapel Hill. The ADA wasn't much support in helping substantiate his condition but through numerous meetings and presentations was able to work out an arrangement with management and tech staff to turn off the wi-fi emitters in his teaching locations. Around 2008, he began receiving calls related to the new radiation producing electric meters. Using his meters and skills learned to help himself, he began helping others reduce their pain by locating and shielding various sources of EMFs. He also led in depth multi-year campaigns petitioning the NC Non-Ionizing Commission, NC Utility Commission and NC legislature for an opt-out to smart meters (and against 5G), as well as other measures. By 2015, his group had successfully achieved a smart meter medical opt-out with Duke Power for Carolinians. With increasing demand from the Lyme and ES community, Andrew ended his major musical obligations and began a full time devotion to the Home EMF Tracing service in May of 2017. Andrew completed and received his Residential Electrician's Career Diploma from Penn Foster in May, 2019 and a Certificate of Completion (Honorary) for 206.2 Electrical Home Wiring from the International Institute for Building Biology & Ecology (BBE) in December, 2019. Started W-2 employment on Jan. 2, 2023 with Bonneville Electric (Carrboro, NC) as an electrician service technician He is also OSHA 10 certified has been a lab leader/teacher for the BBE Advanced Electromagnetic Radiation 302 course. May 28 2025: Passed both exams and now a licensed electrician / electrical contractor in North Carolina and West Virginia for single family dwellings. His tracing practice involves the latest meters and innovations to find the most difficult EMF's a home can hide. Current on the grounding system caused by improper neutral/case connections, appliances, ground/neutral connections, cableTV and water lines, are often disregarded and overlooked. Rewiring with MC cable and adding cut-off switches to lower electric fields that raise body voltage, panel diagnostics to find and remove contact current sources, removing Wi-Fi and installing ethernet and phone lines. Many Lyme, MS, EBV, mold and other chronic conditions have found great relief and improvement by removing EMF's from their home and essential for therapies to work.
