I was installing an AT&T router in my home and immediately became dizzy and nauseous.  We called and turned off the “5G” and that actually made it worse.  I ended up in the ER the next day with double vision and blurred vision.  Every time my husband walks in the front door with his iphone - if the WiFi is turned on I can immediately feel it from 10 ft away.  He’ll look and sure enough, his WiFi is turned on.  Once he turns it off, I get immediate relief.  My son bought the iphone 14 and we were driving and I started to feel dizzy and nauseous.  I told him I thought his new phone was making me sick.  Then, a few moments later, I felt better and thought maybe I was just hungry.  I told him I was feeling better and he asked when I began feeling better.  I told him right as we passed the lighthouse.  He said, “oh, I guess I need to take my phone back as that’s exactly the moment I turned it off to see if you would notice the difference.”   In our home, we have no WiFi.  We can’t. We plug all devices directly into a modem.  And all phones have WiFi turned off.  I have to turn off all smart TVs at night.  I have to turn off all smart tech in new cars.  We have iphone 11’s for when our iPhone 8’s stop working, but after that, I guess we’ll all have to start using flip phones again as the newest phones make me so sick. We were living in Waikiki for a year and I began having heart flutters and severe headaches at night due to all the cell towers.  We then moved to a house where the landlord installed Solar.  The second they installed the firmware I felt it.  And when the solar, with all the inverter boxes, was turned on, it was immediately debilitating for me.  My heart started racing, ears started ringing, I got dizzy and nauseous, had a severe headache and every joint in my body began aching.  I also got the worst insomnia.  I could not sleep at all! I actually could feel my body throbbing.  It was the worst thing I’ve ever felt.  A few days in and I thought I might die.  And then, the power went out in the neighborhood and I had instant relief.  And that night, with no solar or power, I slept so well.  The moment it came back on the next day, I was once again debilitated.  We had to move.  It’s getting harder and harder to find places to live. I can now feel solar from across the road. I’ve also become sensitive to dirty electricity, LEDs, and the magnetic fields of devices.  I can’t have a fan on high or near me now as I feel it.  I can walk into a room and immediately tell you if an outlet is ungrounded.  I don’t need a meter - I AM the meter!  I once felt like I was getting shocked in the shower.  We called an electrician out and he laughed at me thinking I was crazy, till he confirmed there was actually voltage on the pipe.  He said, “there is some voltage, but so small no human could feel it”.  I told him I must be superhuman then as I felt it.  I’ve never been wrong as people continue to “test” me.  I found a church my family and I loved and one Sunday the moment the lights when on I felt an instant headache, severe agitation in my body, nausea and my heart started racing. I ended up in the ER as my heart wouldn’t stop racing.  When I asked the church if they had by chance installed new lights, they told me they had and the lights were high flickering LEDs.  The church wouldn’t change them, so we can no longer attend that church.  I sometimes feel sick from the LED street lights.  In malls and hotels where they’ve installed cell towers or panels on their roofs, or on an elevator or wall, I cannot go near it.  My family likes to hike and I have to stop on the mountain if I get too close as I begin to feel the pressure in my head.  They keep increasing the number of cell towers, yet our phone service continues to get worse.  So clearly, more is not better.  Even electric cars I can’t ride in as I get so sick.   We had to return a rental car when the car had active WiFi in it.  What a terrible idea to put that kind of constant signal in a car.  I have to drive in an office older car with no smart technology. A smart business person would begin catering to the ever growing community of EMF sensitive people.  I know people who can’t even use a cell phone.  Many have moved into homes far from any city.  Some live in their old cars or in a tent.  That’s how bad it can feel.  There should never be any cell tower near a home, school or business.  We need less smart devices and more ways to ground ourselves and not disrupt our body’s natural rhythms.  The people commenting here - we are the canaries and we are warning everyone that damage is being done to your body when you wear a smart watch or put a phone to your ear or wear WiFi ear plugs.
