EMF Sensitivity — Fact or Fiction?

They Told Me It Was All In My Head

AT A GLANCE

  • EMF sensitivity is a sign that your body’s natural electrical field has been compromised.
  • Sensitivity to EMFs often results from life-style factors, including an acidic diet, exposure to environmental toxins (including EMFs), and toxic load.
  • The Holistic Nutrition principles of alkalinity, healing at a cellular (mitochondrial) level, and detoxification protocols work together to reduce toxic burden and restore health.

INTRO

If you’re an electromagnetically (EMF) sensitive person, I’m sure you’ve heard people say, “It’s all in your head!”

But I can assure you, it’s not.

How do I know?

Let me tell you about my experience with EMFs.
I was blessed to grow up in a pristine mountain environment.

I spent my youth picking wildflowers and exploring nature. I climbed trees, swam in ponds, and navigated creek banks in the woods.

What I didn’t appreciate was that I was immersed in the symphonic electrical field of LIFE!

My family lived off-grid. Wood fires kept us warm and our internet came down a wire — no Wi-Fi, “smart” devices, cell towers, or power lines.

MY HEALTH WAS GREAT...UNTIL I WENT TO COLLEGE

All of that changed when I left home for college.

No more home-grown home-cooked meals. No more clean fresh air. I was tempted by every kind of bad-for-me food. I skipped meals and dined on glyphosate-laced cafeteria food at the end of the day.

Eating a poor diet, being exposed to a mold-contaminated home, and breathing formaldehyde, in an unventilated school lab, led me to develop an EMF sensitivity.

I experienced debilitating migraines and fatigue, which led to a diagnoses of low thyroid hormone, and I was prescribed thyroid medication.

But in reality, my body was in a state of electrical chaos.

OUR BODIES ARE ELECTRIC

In The Body Electric, Dr. Robert Becker explains that all living organisms function as complex electrical systems, where bio-electricity and electromagnetic fields direct growth, healing, and internal communication. Within the cells of the body, mitochondria generate electricity using nutrients and oxygen. (1) (2)

Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), such as radio frequencies (RFs), can interfere with the body’s electric field. This is measurable through zeta potential and live-blood analysis.

People who live within 90 feet of a cell tower have higher EMF exposure than those living 900 feet away, and there are measurable changes in their white blood cell counts, which suggest increased stress responses and immune activity in those who live closest to these signals.

CELLPHONES ARE THE NEW SMOKING

Widespread use of cellphones and dopamine hits from constant scrolling echoes the addictive nature of cigarettes from decades ago.

People who use cellphones for 4 to 6 hours per day have increased oxidative stress and immune responses. Studies on EMF exposure and safety limits have not been revised in years, and those that exist only focus on the effects of short-term exposure. (3)

WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS MEAN FOR OUR HEALTH?

The World Health Organization (WHO) categorizes EMF sensitivity alongside multiple chemical sensitivity.

Why? Because it’s a sign that your body’s defenses are compromised and you needs to be protected from chemical exposures in your food, water, home, and workplace. (4)

Children are especially at risk due to their growing bones, smaller size, and their high levels of EMF exposure in schools, recreational spaces, and even on roads, with the proliferation of cell towers and Wi-Fi throughout towns and cities. (5) (6)

A POOR DIET AND EXPOSURE TO TOXIC METALS DON’T HELP

Highly processed and “fast” foods can contain contaminants like heavy metals (e.g. mercury, cadmium, lead, and aluminum). Additional sources of heavy metals include chemtrails, unfiltered water, and perhaps most concerningly, vaccinations, which are injected directly into the blood stream, bypassing the body’s organs of filtration.
“WOW, what an eye opening journey Adam has gone through. An incredibly detailed look into a vaccine injury, highlighting strength and resilience in spite of the harm and abandonment.” — G.B.

Early and mid-life exposure to heavy metals may impact cognitive health later in life, since heavy metals can damage the brain by causing oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. (7)

"It took me a few years to reclaim my health and EHI
was a big part of my journey."

Heavy metal exposure is an even greater concern when it comes to EMFs.

This is because heavy metals conduct electricity, but not in a way that supports your body’s natural electrical function.

Our nerves and neurons communicate, and cells organize themselves using electrical frequencies.

When heavy metals lodge in the heart and brain, they can interrupt the body’s natural electrical signaling, which is critical for life.

HOW I REDUCED MY RISK FROM EMF EXPOSURE

It took me a few years to reclaim my health and EHI was a big part of my journey.

I started by learning how to prepare food that was healthy, focusing on raw foods and an alkaline diet. Hot yoga and sweating helped me remove heavy metals and chemicals from my body.

I became a regular at the farmer’s market, learned how to make my own fermented foods to help rebalance my gut microbiome, and hiked in nature. Cold plunges, sunbathing, and grounding became a regular part of my routine.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO LOWER YOUR RISK FROM EMFS

Here are a few things you can do to reduce your exposure to EMFs.

Practice EMF Hygiene:

  • Put your cellphone on speaker and set it on a table when having a conversation.
  • Charge your cellphone in a location away from you.
  • Don’t sleep with your cellphone by your bed, leave it in another room.
  • Turn off your Wi-Fi router at night.
Incorporate These Healthy Practices into Your Life:

  • Eat an organic, whole food diet
  • Ground with a grounding mat when you’re working at a computer
  • Ground when you’re sleeping with a grounding sleep system
  • Go outside barefoot and walk on dirt, sand or clean (no pesticides) grass
  • Take time to breathe in fresh air, take a walk, sit on a rock, or hug a tree
  • Give your eyes frequent breaks from device screens and blue light
  • Take a walk among the trees, by a lake, in the sunshine, and out in nature
