The practice of grounding counters the negative effects to some degree. Many including myself have begun grounding while we sleep and experienced multiple positive benefits. I’m especially concerned about the deleterious brain development effects of EMFs on children, whose skulls are thinner and whose brains are more vulnerable. 5G is bad enough. 6G is coming. We cannot continue to allow the EMF bombardment of the populace and especially children in schools or who live close to towers without doing thorough and meaningful safety studies.
