padElectrical Sensitivity - Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity

       Technology in our world is changing at a staggering pace. People are exposed to forces and energies that did not exist decades ago. Many new diseases and sicknesses have developed since our parent’s generation including electrical hypersensitivity and new types of cancer. Both have direct links to long term exposure to EMF, (electromagnetic fields) and RF, (radio frequency) from electrical wiring, electric devices and wireless communication.

       Electric fields, magnetic fields and RF radiation are invisible yet exist everywhere. They are detrimental to our long term health and we need to reduce our exposure to them. However if we do not know where they lie, we cannot avoid them. Knowledge is the key. The following information was compiled to give you more knowledge of these invisible forces.

   Symptoms of Electrical Sensitivity  and Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity          
  • Neurological: headaches, dizziness, nausea, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, irritability, depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, weakness, tremors, muscle spasms, numbness, tingling, altered reflexes, muscle and joint paint, leg/foot pain, “Flu-like” symptoms, fever.  More severe reactions can include seizures, paralysis, psychosis and stroke.
       
  • Cardiac:  palpitations, arrhythmias, pain or pressure in the chest, low or high blood pressure, slow or fast heart rate, shortness of breath.
     
  • Respiratory:  sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma.
     
  • Dermatological:  skin rash, itching, burning, facial flushing.
     
  • Ophthalmologic:  pain or burning in the eyes, pressure in/behind the eyes, deteriorating vision, floaters, cataracts.
     
  • Others: digestive problems, abdominal pain, enlarged thyroid, testicular/ovarian pain, dryness of lips, tongue, mouth, eyes, great thirst, dehydration, nosebleeds, internal bleeding, altered sugar metabolism, immune abnormalities, redistribution of metals within the body, hair loss, pain in the teeth, deteriorating fillings, impaired sense of smell, ringing in the ears.
