Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity is an officially recognized disability in Sweden (this is not recognized as an illness because no diagnosis exists for this condition).” Professor Johansson gave the example of a head ache “ how can one measure the pain or prove the existence of a head ache?”

Sweden ranks in the top 10 in the world for healthcare.
Magnetic Flux poses the largest threat to individuals with EMHS.

Introduction to r/EMHS
“In Sweden, electro hypersensitivity is officially a disability which is completely officially recognized (this is not recognized as an illness because no diagnosis exists for this condition).” Professor Johansson gave the example of a head ache “ how can one measure the pain or prove the existence of a head ache?”

Sweden has one of the best healthcare systems in the entire world, ranked in the top 10.

Studies have shown that EMF can cause symptoms in individuals who are not reported as EMHS. In California, a cell tower that was placed over a firestation resulted in the firefighters having abnormal thoughts. They had the cell tower removed and the abnormal thoughts went away. Another study showed that Smart Meters could cause Heart Palpitations in healthy individuals.


Common Dangers for EMHS

  • HV Power lines - 300ft

  • Smart Meters - 50ft

  • Cellphones - 10ft

  • g4 Cell Towers - Within sight

  • g5 Cell Towers - 300ft

  • Coaxial Cables (below 62F) - 6ft

  • Wifi (including neighbors) - 30ft

  • Outlets - 3ft

  • Split Phase Outlets - 6ft

  • Screens - 8ft

  • Aluminum Appliances and Vents Near Bed

  • TV, Xbox, PS4, etc - 20ft

  • Breaker Panel - 6ft


Useful Tools & Programs

*Note: These items have all helped me, I own all of these and use them, but some can also cause adverse symptoms if used improperly.


Supplements and Nutrients for EMHS

  • Dark Chocolate

  • Carrots (organic)

  • Milk (organic)

  • Olive Oil or Amaranth Oil

  • Peanuts

  • Aquafina Water (low NaF)

  • Cats Claw 250mg->4500mg

  • Amyloban3399 100mg->500mg

  • Gatorade

  • Organic source of Vitamin C


More Information

The idea that non-ionzing radiation can cause chemical changes in the body as well as DNA damage is extremely obvious. UV light is classified as non-ionizing yet causes cancer and sunburns. Visible light is non-ionizing but if you look at the sun, you will develop serious retina damage. UV light also causes a number of chemical changes within the body such as creating Vitamin D, melanin production, and visible light affects the body's ability to regulate melatonin.

The FCC has completely failed to understand the affects of RF non-ionizing radiation spending over a million dollars to conduct a six minute study and concluded heat change is the only biological factor. The FCC also has shady connections within the International Telecom Industry. Most notably was the election of Ajit Pai as Chairman to the FCC in 2017, who was originally a Verizon Lawyer lobbyist. Once elected, Ajit immediately dismantled Net Neutrality despite millions of phone calls from the American People and even after the repeal failed multiple times to pass. Every single US State Politician that voted for the repeal of Net Neutrality received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from the telecom industry. Money is obviously affecting our laws and regulations to serve the pockets of the rich, in exchange for the well being, financial, and current life styles of our future generations.

The majority of the studies that show EMF's to be safe are done by Big Business while the majority of studies that show harm from EMF are done by independent researchers. This is common phenomena as money has always influenced personal bias and there's a large motivator to create fake studies to show that a product is better than it actually is. The most common example of this practice was done by the Tobacco Industry where "Tobacco Studies" were done to prove cigarettes a safe and healthy product. Doctors were bribed to prescribe cigarettes and used in ads to support the product.

Shell Oil International also knew in the 1980s the adverse global effects of massive CO2 emissions and then created fake studies showing that opposite.

Haunted homes have also been attributed to EMF exposure, see: Science - How Stuff Works - Ghosts and Electrical Fields. When people are exposed to strong electrical fields, it can change the flow of electrical current in the body turning on different parts of the brain which can induce the experience of seeing ghosts, hearing ghosts, and other related phenomena.

Stray Voltage is also a growing problem in the dairy industry where too much electricity is going into the ground slowly electrocuting dairy cattle.

Looking for more info on protection? These subreddits might have it

Have you heard of Targeted Individuals (TIs)? They are people who believe the government is intentionally hitting them with electromagnetic radiation. Scary stuff.

However, they've figured out different shielding techniques that might be beneficial to you. Here are a few subreddits:

Hope this helps

EMHS is either caused or greatly exacerbated by mitchondrial dysfunction and irregularities in the electron transport chain: https://www.fasebj.org/doi/abs/10.1096/fasebj.2019.33.1_supplement.lb135

The way to work to mitigate your EMHS is by caring for your mitochondria: look up Jack Kruse online. Some stuff you should look into: ketogenic diet (maybe even carnivore), increasing intake of DHA (ideally from lightly cooked fresh fish eg mackerel and sardines), cold thermogenesis (cold water swimming), earthing (very important), Coenzyme Q10 (ideally from fresh animal heart)

EDIT: I experienced great relief from symptoms following the above, though I am now experimenting with the 80/10/10 diet and that feels even better. Please take time to research a vegan diet properly before embarking on it due to potential nutritional deficiencies and health concerns

Tips for EMHS in a developing country?

So, I've been wondering if anybody here who has been experiencing emf hypersensitivity issues lives in the Philippines, or any developing country for discussion's sake. Any tips on how to cope? In here I suppose it's reallyyy rare (and pretty weird) to hear someone raving on and on about their issues with what almost all people use (mobile data & wifi) on a daily basis for extended amounts of time without worrying much about its repercussions. It feels isolating.

Please help. Pulsing feeling in my apartment; -56--70dB; 43-56hz

I am experiencing a pressure and low-frequency vibration that feels as if I am in an electric or magnetic field(?), almost as if I am inside a pulsing frequency. It’s intense enough that I cannot sleep at my apartment. I have tried to trouble shoot the issue by having the hydro utility inspect, to which they found no issue as far as their outside equipment. I’ve turned off my hydro, water, and heating units, and had neighbours do the same, with no luck. There are other sources of vibration in the neighbourhood (subway, busy street, furnaces, commercial fans/vents) but the sensation and humming I’m perceiving remains consistent when those other sources subside.

Yesterday I did a reading using an app named "Spectroid", and saw activity that matched my sensations exactly. I feel that when the decibels go up and the Hz goes down, that’s when the pressure/buzzing/discomfort is heightened. I measured in two areas, one where I was feeling this issue more strongly, and another where it felt lighter/less pressure or vibration. Readings from two different areas:

-56--70dB; 43-56hz (pulsing intensely)

  • 81dB; 59hz (more consistent, small pulses)

As far as audio of the sound, this is my best approximation for it: https://szynalski.com/tone#47,v0.85

Any help is appreciated, thank you. To be perfectly frank I am at my wit’s end it’s taking quite a toll on my sleep, mental health, and work.

Constant ringing

So whenever I go near something electronic I hear ringing. It will give me anxiety too and raise my heart beat :/ I can hear phone chargers, my Xbox... well like I said ANYTHING ELECTRONIC. Does this happen to other people? Just hearing a constant ring when you’re near strong devices? It’s annoying and stress inducing

Grounding to Outlet Ground

If I test my outlet with a multimeter, is there any other precaution to take for using a ground blanket that plugs into the outlet ground? Any particular benefits to planting a ground stake outside your window to connect to?

Is there any danger to being connected to your house ground with all these other appliances capable of creating surges also attached to same ground? Wouldn't electricity upon surge spread throughout ground and shock me? (I'm uneducated on topic, bear with me please!)

Thanks

my progress

last update 02/13

I thought for anyone reading this since I have made much progress and have some insights into this condition suffering from it for over 4 years now I might make a topic on where I'm currently at with it which I hope might help some others that experience the same symptoms as me.

Current stack: chaga tea - 1/2 teaspoon in coffee every morning / B12 2000 mcg daily / D3 5000 IU every other day

Things that also helped but don't use often anymore: Lions Mane - 2000 mg a couple days a week / Chlorella/Spirulina tablets - (no exact dosage I'm gonna put here cause different brands can have different mixes and amount a tablet)

History: I remember mine started years ago when I worked in a very dirty job on top of living in a house with mold problems and previously having an episode of bad food poisoning that left me ill for a very long time until I went vegan and slowly got better. I believe these things had a tidal wave effect but only when I started working that job handling large amounts of change and cleaning supplies daily that it got pushed over the edge. When I was at my worst it felt like my face was always burning up with various degrees of severity depending on the conditions and there was a lump in my throat that I guess was a combo of what my body was dealing with and my thyroid going nuts from it that is now gone. Any exposure to what I didn't handle well to any extent would usually result in intense brain fog, major digestive distress, closed nostrils, and sensory disturbances. I would often feel like I was about to have seizure if the exposure was bad enough. My diet is very plain mostly to avoid things that will make it worse but I also now like it this way since I don't have many cravings for anything but what I need.

Recovery: The first step forward in the right direction was a brief period of supplementing myself with chlorella/spirulina tablets. This cleared up my senses and brain fog a little bit but stopped there minus it cutting out the worst of the digestive issues. Any normal kind of vegetables have done nothing for me. I am also a kava user and noticed that if an exposure I had was bad enough one day it will interfere with the effects of the kava as if it barely gets where it needs to be when my system takes that hit whatever that implies.

For a while I was getting hopeless until I found Lion's Mane which cleared up my brain fog significantly and some cognitive dysfunction over the course of the summer until now taking a 2 a day for 2 days a week spaced out because they also gave my digestive system major issues despite the benefits. I was left with the physical aspects and major cognitive issues that get far worse when exposed to EMR or enough environmental allergens (my movements would get very rigid). It is always accompanied with a burning/tingly borderline painful feeling on the forehead and sides of face (upper cheek? both sides directly opposite of each other, tried to pin point what that exactly is but they're connected). So this means that the brain/neurological damage came after whatever happened and it was probably something involving a toxic overload. It reacts to many things, it's not a constant. Sunday I began taking chaga that I would put in a tea bag in my coffee and it was a major step forward, at day 4 here the feeling in my face is starting to fade more and I became more resistant to EMR. I had time in the morning to wait around so I played a game on my smart phone for around half an hour to give myself a stress test and it certainly did get me somewhere because I now have a higher tolerance threshold for that overload in my system though I was still able to feel it but just not to as much of a crippling extent. If I get anymore progress I'll update this topic. It could be weeks or it could be months but either way I'll remember it when I need to.

update 2/13 - So it's Thursday again, been a week so I gave myself the final stress test on now on my final mix of what I'm taking here that I edited above (if I change that up at all I'll update again). This was a triple threat, something that would have previously made me deathly ill for a week or more. In fact if I did this before I started treating myself I probably wouldn't be here typing this right now. Played on my phone for half an hour, immediately after fired up the other computer running the Windows 10 the great resource consuming destroyer of computer parts, and stood in the room with the wifi router in it for half an hour. The ringing in my ears was much lighter, barely noticeable in comparison to before. The wifi experiment produced the most of it and had the greatest effect on me which was making me more restless and feeling its intensity on my senses of vision and hearing. There was also a slight charged feeling to my face but it didn't evolve into "face on fire, brain exploding" hell like before. Same goes for the PC playing a 3D game getting all the parts going but was much more gentle and not that noticeable. The phone up front tends to mostly affect my vision slightly and produce a little ringing and slight increase in that familiar center forehead warming but when it's at a minimal it alone doesn't seem to be doing anything else but causing a mild discomfort. In the after effects I notice some residual feelings on my face that are just somewhat uncomfortable but not terribly unbearable and a slight degree of EMR fake anxiety (it's just like a somewhat hyperactive feeling with a little residual effects on my visual field/slight pressure behind the eyes, and barely noticeable increased ear ringing) One thing that was previously there that isn't at all anymore is my nostrils completely closing up and my digestive system having a meltdown. In the time I been typing this wall of text it has taken care of itself fairly quickly (not sure how long I was sitting here editing this but I suppose that doesn't really matter since it's been under an hour at least). So my body has greatly increased the bounce back time.

Conclusion - I found out how to cure the bulk of it but some residual issues still remain and I don't live in a situation where I have any reason to absurdly bathe in what I just did all day and night long in sequence with one another so I can't gauge how I would feel after that and I don't think anyone should either in the first place. I also have no perspective on what normal non-EMHS people feel in the presence of all of these constantly throughout their day unprotected since healing this much got me this far but I'm still not completely EMHS free I can imagine it's probably doing some damage they aren't aware of that they feel very slightly or can get a health condition they attribute to something else with long term exposure when it was EMR that pushed it over the edge. If I have any other ideas I'll update this topic but nothing else in mind at the moment. Of course since I'll probably be into playing some games again these basic realistic stress tests will be then normal and that'll probably reveal more useful info to me that could help others as I learn more about how my body is reacting. But one major thing I can say I have learned is that everything about this condition stems from the brain and the rest of the damage that occurs is just a cascade from that. Whether it be the EMR hitting the nerves themselves or some toxin reacting and having effects on the neurological system/body stemming from up there. Chaga was what mainly cured me and whatever the superoxide dismutase did specifically in it.

Eye irritation causes similar symptoms to emhs

Thought - Emhs isn’t what you think. That forehead burn? It’s not really your forehead. It’s actually your eyes that are heating due to microwave exposure or thermal heating from rf waves.

I thought it was my forehead but touching my eye balls and they’re really hot. Sometimes you can confuse pain with one spot and another. Irritated eyes can cause headaches and many other symptoms that we think are caused by emhs ( some may get ocular migraines from rf radiation). Over exposure of rf radiation can heat the eyes and there are little cooling mechanisms in the eye so that’s why there is no cure. And the damage done is Irreversible so your eyes will always be more irritated to rf exposure when using technology like laptops and smartphones.

Thoughts?

My text conversation with Sky broadband provider

Hi all, I would like to share this funny conversation that I have just had with the support team at Sky. I gave up in the end.. Anyone else ever feel patronised?

Me: I'm having issues with my broadband router. The connection is fine. The problem is that the router is faulty in that turning off the WIFI doesn't turn it off, I am still connected to it now even though you can see it is turned off.

Sky: Hi my name is Ricardo from the Sky Team and I will be looking the account for you today. I am really sorry about the hub issues that you are having and I will be send a process to have the matter resolved for you, can you please do this now: There's a small reset button on the back of your hub. If you push it for 10 secs the power light on the front of the router will flash red. When it's done, the lights will come back on in this order: power, wireless then internet. Let me know when all three are back on.

Me: Ok all came back on

Sky: Okay that is great and can I asked that you monitor this for me for the next 72 hours, however I was sure that this will fix the issue and if you have any further issues please contact us. And if that is all have a wonderful day and all the best for the coming holidays. Thanks for getting in touch. You may get a short survey soon asking you to rate my service out of 5, with a 4 or 5 being a positive score. I'd love to get your feedback about our conversation as it really helps my development. When you fill out the survey, please make sure you enter only a number. Anything else will restart the conversation and your answer will not be registered.

Me: No this isn't resolved, the issue is that I can not turn the WIFI off.

Sky: Why would you want to turn the WIFI off?

Me: Because it causes headaches and disturbs sleep.

Sky: Is that light or is there a sound from the hub?

Me: No. The radio waves.

Sky: Okay in that case you will have to turn off the hub from the main and then turn it back on in the mornings. Is that okay?

Me: ...

I wait around 30 minutes before texting back, at which point I realise that Ricardo has closed the support ticket without saying so.

Me: What would a new router cost please?

Sam: Hi, you're though to Sam. There isn't a way to turn off the WIFI router, you'll need to turn the router off at the mains.

Me: Yes there is, You visit the router settings page at 192.168.0.1

----------------------------------------------------

Just for reddit I have taken a screen shot here of that exact settings page - https://ibb.co/ftfcJnf

As you can see there is an option to turn off WIFI - and I have used this option successfully for years.

----------------------------------------------------

Sam: Sorry you're right, You'll need to log in and under the wireless tab disable the Enable Wireless Access Point option. Do this for both your 2.4GHz and your 5GHz settings.

Me: As I've been trying to convey, turning it off on these settings no longer works. The WIFI remains on.

Painting/covering walls for EMF protection - 'sticky' aluminum vs EMF paint

I am considering painting my walls for EMF protection from nearby power lines and am debating between a Yshield type paint or sticky aluminum foil (image below) with zero VOC paint on top. Many of the reviews online are a little rough for EMF paints in general, hard to find one that I can trust and for such a large expense I want to be sure it will be effective.

(Incidentally, the power lines I mentioned appear to be distribution and not transmission lines so of course there's less voltage, 25 kv instead of 50-500 kv, but my EMF meter still reads high so I've finally decided to take action.)

I am aware of the need for grounding with either approach, presumably so I don't electrocute myself if a wire erodes inside the wall, so I will anticipate that.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Just moved next to transmission lines (150m+\-)

Bit of a longer post here, but thought this might be a good place full of knowledge on this type of thing! I just moved apartments and the apartment I moved to is literally right next to massive transmission lines. I don’t suffer from emhs but am very aware that it is very very real. After I moved in I went for a walk and went near the transmission lines and can literally hear the crackling as I walked near them! This prompted me to do some research on living nearby these lines. Growing up, my mom always told me the horrors of living near these lines and how they cause cancer and as a 12 yr old kid I would just write her off. After doing a lot of research however I am now second guessing this move and it’s freaking me out a little. I don’t want to spend thousands to break my lease, but cancer/living with symptoms could be much worse. I found a device online that claims it helps with this problem (an EMF adapter), but it’s $300 and wanted to see if anyone on here might be able to help me out. Thank you so so much.

TL/DR Just moved near transmission lines Found out the health risks post move Are there any devices that are worth the investment that help with EMF radiation?

Link to the device I mentioned: https://www.safespaceprotection.com/product/emf-adapter/

I appreciate your help and I have the utmost respect for this r/.

Simple things to reduce emf exposure and feel better

If you can afford an emf meter get one. I use the Acousticom 2 emf meter. It helped clean up my home environment tremendously. Nowadays, EVERYTHING is transmitting some form of bluetooth or signal. I have NOTHING wireless in my environment. My home network is all hard wired. You can easily achieve this by disabling wifi on your router and run network cables. If that isn't possible consider 'powerline adapters' on amazon. Your tv, game console, router, cordless phone, cell phone, thermostat, smart meter and any new tech in your home can be contributing to emf overload and nervous system sensitivity. Here are a few things you can do right now.

  1. Turn off bluetooth on your cell phone and leave it off. Disable data and wifi on the phone and ONLY toggle them on when needed then toggle off. You will still get phone calls and text messages with data and wifi turned off. Test it.
  2. Sleep with your phone in airplane mode. Try not to sleep with your phone's bluetooth, data and wifi enabled on the nightstand next to your head.
  3. Carry your phone with all the radios off or in airplane mode.
  4. Add a $15 wall timer to your wireless router to turn it off when sleeping.
  5. Add a simple power strip for the tv and game console and physically disconnect it (turn if off) when not in use. These things constantly blasting emf even if they are turned off. Cut power to them when not in use.
  6. Call your power company and tell them you get headaches and ask to replace your smart meter with an analog one. Might cost $10 or $20 a month to have an old school meter, but its worth not having it pulse a million times a month and blanket the house with electromagnetic energy.
  7. Try to avoid using a microwave oven! Use an electric toaster oven and steamer. Might take an extra 5 minutes but will reduce full scale microwave radiation that can be measured with the emf meter 50' away.
  8. If in an apartment or close to many wireless routers, can shield walls or floors with aluminum screen available from home depot or lowes. Consider an emf bed canopy. Your sleep should be emf free at the minimum so the body can rest and repair itself.
  9. Avoid wireless headphones and earbuds. Try not to use bluetooth in the car or elsewhere.
  10. Consider a physical landline or voip line in the house like magic jack or Obihai Obi 200 with google voice.
  11. Use a wired game console controller. Wireless controllers emit tremendous emf interference.

Survey your living environment with an emf meter and track down anything that's transmitting. You'd be surprised whats sending out signals even when electronics are turned off. If you do only 2 things, turn your wireless router off at bedtime and carry your cell phone with bluetooth, data and wifi turned off. You'll still receive phone calls and text messages.

Will the technology in modern cars affect someone who claims to have Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity and what power do the parking sensor and GPS typically operate at?

My mother is EMHS and my Father is trying to buy a new car. She is saying that the sensors in the car will affect her and wants the factory to make a car without the parking sensors or backup camera. In my opinion, she would be experiencing more radiation from the cars around her since the signals are projected out. The research I have done shows that they use ultrasonic sensors which operate at roughly 40KHz. Just trying to find a way to help my father get a car that my mother can also enjoy.

Faraday Cage? A Possible solution.

Hi, I just recently found out about emhs from a documentary and immediately thought of a Faradays cage!

Faradays cage is a mesh of conductive materials which block EM waves. So if you are inside the cage, no EM waves will reach you.

Maybe this tech can be used in the houses of those that are affected by emhs. This will allow them to feel safe and relieved from within their own house.

Eye Pain, Ocular Re-Alignment, and Eye Sensitivity to Electrical Devices. Treat with Japanese Knotweed.

Ever feel your eye have intense pain, being ripped out of orientation, and you HAVE to look straight at the wifi or a other electrical devices, to stop the pain?

This is caused by nematodes, which are highly sensitive (probably 10,000 times more sensitive than us to magnetic fields), and stimulated by electrical devices, and they inhabit your eyeball, and your brain.

In extreme cases, Ocular Misalignment happens, which is more common in youth who have weaker nerves and less control of their environment.

Treatment:

Japanese Knotweed Tincture, Distilled Water, Eye Dropper (usually comes with tincture)

Mix a light amount of Japanese Knotweed Tincture with Distilled Water, close affected eye, drop concoction over eye until you feel it land on the eye lid, open eye, and release another eye drop. Apply as needed.

This will kill the nematodes, which reduces the sensitivity of the eye to electrical devices.
