I was waking from a dead sleep with heart palpitations. I came across a documentary on 5G and wireless radiation, they said turn off your wifi to find out if you have issues and I did, the change was so profound, had the best sleep ever in over 15 years. But my husband didn't want it shut off nightly due to work computer updates at night. So I resorted to harmonizers that did help for many years until they put in their Smart Electrical meters all over our community despite my open opposition to our city council for like 4 years, We did get an opt out option with a hefty fee, but all of my neighbors have gotten them. Now I can hardly raise my kids and am exhausted and not able to function somedays especially the days I have to go to Boulder for errands. My labs with my functional doctor showed my thyroid and all were normal then within a year of the meters it want to Hashimoto's Thyroid disease to being even more pre diabetic.  I had an episode where I had to take antibiotics for dental issues and ended up with an insanely itchy all over full body rash that would not go away. I resorted to shutting off the wifi and within 10 minutes the itching stopped and the rash began to fade. I figured it must be my biome out of balance and since my testing showed high levels of mold in my system I figured the mold was running rampant.  I currently have  a rash on my face from our puppy scratching me that won't heal and has been migrating around my face for two months. I don't want to see a doctor and get antibiotics again. I sadly had to get a new phone and I feel like it is why my face won't heal. There is a definite pattern, if I have to text  a  bunch when I'm away from my ethernet wired computer my face starts to itch and burn more. We took a drive a few weeks ago and the first day my face felt great, hardly any cell towers where we were driving, the next day it was a raging mess with the towers on alternating sides of the road every few miles. Also on that same stretch hardly any insects on our windshield despite being in a national grassland with shoulders of the road that had not been mowed.  I remember when I was a kids roads like that would get your windshield a good coating of bug guts.  Another trip driving home from Big Sky MT I got sick from their wireless infrastructure at the resort with their towers at the tops of their chair lifts, I would feel what side of the interstate the cell tower was on based on the sharp pains in my head, I would normally wear a faraday beanie but had given it to my son who was 9 at the time who was suffering massive headache and feeling sick as well. He is also the kid who gets massive headaches and nose bleeds when they do testing at school which is the only time they use computers at his school, a room full of wireless laptops makes my son sick. Talking to the front desk gal my son was one of many kids who fall into this pattern of missing school and getting sick when they do this testing. I've attempted to educate the Directors of the school on this but they refuse and the last one even said there was no science to back my claims. In this day and age you can always find anything to back your beliefs even if they are not true. My husband is mostly in denial it is making me sick and complains whenever I try to buy anything to help myself and refuses to let me hire a building biologist to minimize dirty electricity and reduce my exposure.  So I've basically lost all hope of every feeling good unless I get a divorce and since I can't hardly be out in public due to exposure from all the wireless infrastructure and now traffic cameras all over I can't work and leave. I don't know why you supposed leaders keep ignoring us Human Canaries in the EMF mines of society who are telling you it's making us sick. The ones who notice how when they install more wireless tech, the insect populations take a nose dive, like the bee's for example. The ones who physically feel it and suffer almost daily from it. Now I have this insane insomnia too that is not doing me any favors. Whenever there is weather forecasted I can feel the HARP shit that is charing the atmosphere and feel literally microwaved in the morning. Like I was with the next light internet. The things I used to use to help minimize its impact no longer works with each additional layer of Radiation you keep adding to this world. Faraday clothing helps but it's kind of ugly and expensive.  You must fund the studies there is enough evidence from people like me to warrant such studies. And in the meantime but a halt to more being installed to avoid the  continuation of the mass die off we are seeing of many much smaller species. The damage we are causing to our children needs to stop if we want to continue as a species.
