EMF'S? Is Your Health Being Affected?

The Hazards of EMF's

In many ways the Internet and all electronics available today have greatly advanced our civilization. It makes it easy to connect and stay connected with people around the world. I cherish our new technology everyday. When I wake up in the morning I can send a text to my daughter to say "Good morning, how are your doing?", or I can see my son on my cell phone and talk with him about how his day is going in Switzerland, or I can take a picture of an item in the grocery store and send it to my husband to see if that's what he needs. Also, I never get lost when I travel to Phoenix, as a command to "ok google" gives me detailed information about how to get to my destination. There is so, so much more we can do with what is available to us today. It is a wonderful support to improve our lives, but as I have found out myself, it can also become quite addictive. 

Since the total recovery from my terminal illness when I was 17 years old, I can say that I have enjoyed excellent health until just recently. My blood pressure is high, my sleep patterns are disrupted, my ears are ringing, I have dizzy spells, and at times I have anxiety for no apparent reason.  There is nothing going on in my life that should give me these symptoms. 

A few weeks ago I decided to have a consultation with Natalie's Naturopath Dr. Stephanie Gajus. Although I balked at having to see a doctor, as I have not seen a doctor since my children were born (almost 40 years ago), I needed to find out what is going on with my health. To make a long story short, I visited Dr. Gajus just a few weeks ago, and after a 2 hour consultation and many questions, her diagnosis was "Hypersensitivity to EMF's". Kindly, and in great detail, she explained to me about EMF's, and how radiation from cell phones, Wi-Fi, cell towers, smart meters, etc. is affecting me, and so many people.

Some of the symptoms of EMF sensitivity are:

  • Headaches
  • Digestive problems
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Symptoms throughout the ear nose and throat.
  • Depression and inability to focus
  • Loss of enthusiasm for life
  • Lack of motivation and vitality
  • Fatigue
  • Thirsty and dryness in the body
  • Eye blurriness and burning.
  • Skin symptoms like rashes, prickling, and burning.
  • Limb and muscle aches
  • Infertility and sexual changes
  • ...and the list goes on and on

The question is now, what can I do? Dr. Gajus gave me a lot of information and solutions on how I can lower my exposure to EMF pollution. Here are some solutions:

  • While working on the computer or cell phone I wear Swannies blue light blocking glasses
  • I carry my cell phone in an EMF protection cell phone case (you can order this item from Doug and Judy Staab, dstaab@earthlink.net). 
  • I don't have a smart meter at my house. APS charges a small fee for my analogue meter.
  • Every day I make time to spend in the sun, even if it is cloudy (the sun is still in the sky). I started slowly with five minutes and now I enjoy a couple of hours a day.
  • I love to spend time in nature and always feel better.
  • After being on the computer for a little too long I go outside and put my feet on the bare ground or grass for a half hour, to discharge EMF's from my body. 
  • Sometimes I love to sit under the biggest tree I can find with my bare feet on the ground. 
  • I surround myself with stones and crystals known for their EMF protection such as Shungite, Black Tourmaline, Amethyst and Labradorite.
  • Natalie made a necklace for me with all the above mentioned stones, 
  • I made a blanket to protect myself while I am on the computer which contains TitanRF Faraday Fabric. 
  • I wear EMF protection clothing to be always protected wherever I go.
  • I wear EMF protective gloves when I work on the computer.
  • I also bought a big scarf made mostly from silver to protect my thyroid gland.
  • Because electromagnetic radiation can cause cellular damage as well as DNA damage, I take daily a combination of Spirulina and Chlorella. According to some experts these super foods can heal the body and mind from the damaging effects of harmful radiation.
  • Eleuthero is an herb I take daily to protect myself from harmful radiation. It is also known to ease stress. 
  • According to some researchers Ginkgo may protect against DNA damage. Radiation emits free radicals, which in large quantities can cause chromosome damage birth defects and cancer. Mostly, I like to take Ginkgo to improve my memory.
  • Other researchers have found that seaweeds, such as Kelp, Dulse, Irish Moss, may have a neutralizing effect and helps lesson the effects of toxic poisoning, radiation, and chemical toxins. Seaweeds may also protect the thyroid. I take Kelp every morning to support my thyroid gland.
  • Many people take Milk Thistle for its antioxidant properties, which may inhibit free radical scavengers. They also use it as a radiation protector
  • Amalaki and Rosehips contain alkaline vitamin C and may increase the production of interferon. I like to eat my rosehip jam in the morning for breakfast. It's really yummy! 
  • There are many, many more valuable herbs that can protect and may heal the body from EMF's. 

It looks like a long list, but I can truly say I feel so much better. Luckily most of the items are a one time investment, like the cell phone cover and clothing. What was really scary for me at first is that you cannot see EMF's, but they are there, all around us. Small framed people like me, children and small animals are at greater risk. Protect yourself!
