ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I first want to say, thank you for opening the floor for us to speak on our experiences with EMF. I want to preface with I had never thought of myself as sensitive to EMFs. When people spoke of the dangers of EMF’s, my general attitude was that we just needed to build resilience to be able to handle the world. That was, until my body was no longer able to buffer its effects. It started with small things. My hands would ache when I’d hold my phone for too long — this often remedied when I’d get an EMF sticker for my phone. And then in 2021 I moved to an apartment complex in Arizona. For 4 years, I had increasingly concerning symptoms — but it took me almost 4 years to understand what it was. Extremely high EMF exposure — later confirmed on an EMF meter. After moving into this apartment, suddenly my tolerance for airports & travel went to zero. I soon after had my first panic attack on an airplane (I had been an avid traveler my entire life), and panic began to be the baseline from which my body lived. But I wasn’t mentally anxious, it was purely physiological. This led to extreme blood sugar swings, low blood pressure, muscle and bone pain, and debilitating neurological symptoms that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. When I’d go to hotels, I wouldn’t sleep and would be in a state of panic the whole night. I’d get in a Tesla and get dizzy and it felt like my whole body was being suffocated from the inside out. I would go to city centers and feel an immense sense of panic and have to immediately leave, I couldn’t make sense of what was happening. It was then, that I finally realized the common denominator — EMF exposure. And I’d finally concluded that the levels I was being exposed to in my home, took away any ability to buffer the outside world. Once I realized this, I sought out a low EMF home to test this theory. Overnight my symptoms went away. My blood sugar stabilized. My reactions calmed. I no longer struggle with airplanes and hotels. My body has slowly made its way back to normal. But I want to note, this was almost impossible to find. I searched every rental home in my city and almost every home had EMF levels equal to or greater than my original exposure. There were 5g towers on every corner. It felt almost impossible to escape. And for the average American, they don’t have the knowledge or resources to find a safe home — and as we continue to expand infrastructure, the odds of being able to find a home like mine — only go down. I work with clients around the country who all suffer from similar issues. Who are severely sensitive to EMF, can’t financially afford to escape it and spend their life savings trying to get better. We have to do better for our citizens. This is only going to get worse unless we make a concerted effort to stop it. And stop putting money and power ahead of the health of our people. Thank you.
