Other Sensitive to electromagnetic frequencies

[HealingInProcess]

I am very sensitive to this, so much I can sometimes pick up a high pitched sound when someone is going to recieve a message! Anyway black tourmalline helps A LOT

Yes I can sometimes tell when a song is about to come on the radio or an incoming call.

I feel a burning sensation in my hand when I use my cell phone that has wireless capabilities, although I only use it for phone and texting purposes. I use the speaker phone option for calls rather than putting it upside my head.

I also feel that same sensation if I try to hold my laptop in my lap, which I no longer do, and when I use the wireless mouse and keyboard for too long. I haven't tried any of the shield thingys yet, but have entertained the idea. Will have to gather my black tourmaline and relocate it. :)

I hear tones and frequencies rather often, too, as in daily. Most especially if I'm sitting in front of the television, where the wireless router is located. I used to think it was simply from attending too many concerts way too close to the giant speakers and I'd screwed up my hearing, but hearing tests have always checked out just fine. My hearing is just as amplified as my sense of smell, which can be both a blessing and a curse.

It feels like I can hear the currents of all things electric, pretty much, but some major fluctuations take place on occasion that make me wonder wtf. I've also wondered how much it plays a part in my and my husband's heart rhythm issues. My bro-in-law lives next to us and his heart has started acting up, too. Things that make me go hmmmm, but that make the medical staff look at me like I have three heads if I bring it up to them. Grrr...

My husband mentions hearing the fluctuations and strange tones once in a while, too, but not so much the frequent ongoing tones. That made me feel a little less "out there" knowing that he hears at least some of the same stuff. We also have overhead power lines running through our yard.

I just add it to my list of many things I'm ultra-f'n-sensitive to and try to remember to turn off the wifi each night before bed and limit my exposure, but good luck with that, be it at home or when you venture out. It's a lot like trying to avoid fragrances. Chances are pretty much slim to none. Hope you get some relief from the pain.

Yes I sometimes hear ringinf tones and intermittent buzzing sounds that are incessant. Think of something like what sound the phones used to make when you had dial up modems but not as annoying. I think these are going on all the time but only sone of us hear. Who knows what effect it has on us.

Yes, the one person I know who is strongly affected by EM frequencies (like unbearably painfully affected) has Parkinson's. And has only had sensitivity with worsening Parkinson's.


(I'm a biologist, so any physicists out there please correct me if I've gone wrong here) from memory, this is to do with the resonant frequency of your ear canals. Which is dependent on the shape and size of your ear canals.

Our physics lecturer did an "experiment" with (really testing my long term memory and biologist brain here) a microphone attached to an ¿oscilloscope. By turning the frequency dial, there became a region of frequencies where suddenly one student was cringing, then another, then another.

I would think that's why some people can't stand chalk on chalkboard (me) and others are unbothered.

@HealingInProcess I'd recommend making EM-free zones in your house. Bedroom specifically. Most of us sleep with our phones right by our heads. Removing sources such as that for 8 hours each day may help your physiology to be more resilient when encountering EM during the day. Then build from there.

Interesting you mention the Parkinsons. That runa in my family and other nerve issues like fibromyalgiam. I'm trying Glycine and NAC for nerves along with Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl Carnitine. These are supposed to help nerve conditions and have other beneficial effects.

This thread made me think of something I saw a while ago that might be of interest.
I promise I'm not being a prat, I'm mentioning this because it seems relevant to this thread.

It is a product which was the result of a crowd funding project that raised almost £14,000.
Whether or not it works, I have no idea. I don't have problems with EM radiation, so I couldn't test it if I wanted too.

Shield headwear

I am testing about some emf clothing right now. Hard to tell if there's much of a diffetence but I think there is.

@HealingInProcess Hopefully the emf clothing is helpful for you.

There are many radio signals in the air. Obviously radios but wireless is a radio signal. So are cell phone signals. The cell companies just released 5G which is rumored to actually cause harm to human bodies. But, just a rumor I have heard.

But, we have lived in a world of radio signals since, well, radios were invented. A tv over the air antenna is a great example as well.

I am not advising that they don't do harm to the human body. But, radio signals by themselves don't. So many of them in the air and then add in a new one, cell 5G, to the mix and yeah, it likely can do some harm. The human body wasn't meant to be around so many radio signals.

That being said, I think we are just speaking of ways one can be sensitive to radio signals. They make a sound when the reciever receives the radio signal. And that sound is what humans are usually picking up on. Many of us are sensitive to high pitch sounds and when electrons vibrate, they tend to make a high pitch sound.

Not sure about these blocks that are sold. To block a radio signal you have to make a faraday cage. A metal box (metal is a block for radio signal which is why when you live in a metal trailer, cell phones have trouble as does wireless internet going inside or outside said trailer). The metal box has to have no cracks of any kind. Preppers tend to make them out of old ammo cans but the point is, you would have to block your entire head inside of a metal box and seal up all the cracks with metal tape. And that's not possible. Miss a crack and your faraday cage is useless.

I think it's helping some.

I don't know if other people are but I am and they give me headaches. Apparently there are shielding devices one can purchase so I'm going to look into it. Has anyone else had this issue?

We had our house inspected by a building biologist about 2 months ago and our EMF situation was bad. We had it all fixed and the changes in our family are very noticeable. Better sleep, less stomach issues, my son had a tic that’s now gone. I can’t recommend an inspection enough.

Interesting. Yeah this is something we should all be more aware of. I think EMF might be a contributing factor for a variety of health issues.

From what I understand a car functions as a faraday cage.

No, because there are gaps between the metal. You have to seal up the gaps with more metal. Metal touching metal all around. Usually metal tape is used. If you go in your car and can play a radio from inside the car (like a hand held radio with the antenna inside the car) then it's not blocking any radio signals. Its a fair test. It should go to just static. From playing a station to just static. Which shows its blocking the radio signal. If it doesn't, it's not blocking anything.

I'm not trying to be argumentative - but this isn't how radio frequencies (RFs) work. It's not so much about the different kinds of signals in aggregate, it's the specific frequency being emitted.

Concerns about 5G are based on it being a high-frequency signal, higher than 2, 3, and 4G. RF waves don't interact with one another in a pile-on way - so, adding one more to the mix does not make them cumulatively dangerous.

RF (also) isn't limited to radio (telecom) signals. The human body is exposed to RF via the sun, to begin with. It's helpful to remember that RF pre-dates technology.

I recommend these pieces, they are comprehensive and relatively unbiased.

Thanks! I wasn't 100% about the collective signals being harmful claim and the sources stating issues with it weren't that creditable which is why I didn't cite any.

I know a crap ton about wireless signals. I know a good amount about cell signal but that was pre-5g. Actually, it was when LTE was being debated. So, a while ago. 2011 area ish.

Didn't know that about the sun. Being in the technology field, that's quite sad! Being that science is my favorite subject, double sad lol.

But will check the site out! Thanks!

Just as an fyi here are some studies on the harmful effects of EMF for those who are interested Research | Protect Your Family from EMF Pollution.

I have not gotten a chance to go through all theae but one interesting fins to your point about the ain is that in that link I provided one if the studies provides that polarized (man-made) EMFs are more biologically active than natural ones and non-polarized like the sun. I'm not an expert on theae matters but I thought that was interesting. Hard to close Pandora's box but I think there are some measures we can take to mitigate the damage like shielding.

And to make it even more confusing?

In my particular area, it’s densely populated with phone towers on every other building.

But if it seems like your home is starting to make you sick and you’re not sure why? 2 of the biggest causes around here are black mould in the walls, and meth in the walls (it sticks there as leftover from prior tenants, and is making people super sick).

Lots of invisible things to get paranoid about!!!!

Interesting because apparently there is cooccurence of mold and people who are emf sensitive. I'm wondering if it encourages this growth but I don't know how it would...
