Being Electrosensitive (in a microwaved world)

This is a special post which includes an auto-translation of the recent legal decision in the High Court of Madrid, which found in favour of an EHS sufferer, an ex-employee at Ericsson. Thanks to Shirley Temple for providing this document. There's a link below the auto-translation to coverage of the case on the Towards Better Health blog. The name of this person has been redacted from the legal ruling, although it is in the public domain. The original legal judgement, written in Spanish, was converted so that the actual text could be selected (it was a .pdf file of a scanned document), and then auto-translated. The resulting text is not easy to read - partly because of the legalese in the original, and partly because of the inherent limitations of auto-translations. I'll replace this whe...

[This post contains links to two e-books on electrosensitivity; Forced to Disconnect, and Black on White. Both were written in Sweden, are available in English, and can be downloaded for free] Forced to Disconnect, Electrohypersensitive fugitives in Sweden, by Gunilla Ladberg (70 pages) 4th Edition. 2010. English Foreword This book is about people in Sweden who after having developed hypersensitivity to electricity or/and microwave radiation from wireless technologies have become fugitives in their own country. I must first say that neither I nor anyone in my family has been affected by this condition. I started to write about the issue after learning about the health hazards caused by cell phones and other wireless communication gadgets. That’s how I met a number of people who had become electrohypersensitive (EHS). This condition has disabled some of them to such an extent that they had to flee from their homes and workplaces to find r...

Name: Stephanie Dickerson Location: Georgia, USA How long have you been electrosensitive (and how long did it take you to make the link to EMFs?) My symptoms started in 2005, and I realised that I was electrosensitive in 2012. Your story: Since I discovered I am EHS, in 2012, I have had to accept loss; loss of my career, loss of my income, family, friends and so much more. It seems every time I feel like I get used to my “new” restricted life, I must face yet another loss. As more places implement wifi, my world shrinks even more, until there is literally no where I can go comfortably. It is impossible for non-ehs people to even comprehend the huge burden and the isolation that this condition creates, and the grief one experiences daily for all that has been taken away. Around 2005 I started having debilitating insomnia and feelings of agitation; I could not relax. I tried everything to keep healthy, and considered many different reasons...

My comment: In addition to Diana's post here, Towards Better Health has published an article about her containing links to interviews and press coverage. There's a link to this below. Edited 4th October 2016: Links to Diana's YouTube videos added Name: Diana Boughton Location: UK How long have you been electrosensitive? Over 15 years Your story: Discriminated against, ridiculed, disbelieved, humiliated, misunderstood, isolated – these are some of the ‘symptoms’ of electrohypersensitivity (EHS), from which I have suffered for over 15 years. I noticed a problem when my parents gave me a computer for my new home, which connected to the internet via dial-up. It was the first piece of technology I’d had during my adult life and within a few days of regular use I noticed that my ears were ringing whenever the computer was switched on. ...

Mandatory Exposure to Microwave Radiation In Our Schools Has Left 11 Year Old With Nowhere To Go To School [My comment: These details have been provided by Janis Hoffman, who is Tyler's grandmother] Location: Victoria BC How long has he been electrosensitive? 4 years His story (This is a letter from Janis Hoffman, published in the Oliver Chronicle on 26th July 2016 - link below) Tyler is 11 years old and has a recognized disability, EHS (electro hypersensitivity), which means with accumulative and prolonged exposure to microwave radiation from wireless technology, he experiences severe headaches, accompanied with vomiting, extreme fatigue, insomnia and now night terrors. For the past four years he has been shuffling between three different school districts to avoid the mandatory exposure, which school officials have decided is crucial to teach the curriculum. Around April 2012, Tyler, who was then seven years old and in Grade 2, sta...

Name: Debra Martin Location: Sydney, Australia How long have you been electrosensitive (and how long did it take you to make the link to EMFs?) I have been Electrosensitive since 2008 but it took me 4 years to recognize what was making me sick. Your story: The story of becoming sick began in 2002. I already had multiple food allergies/sensitivities I was reacting too at this stage but everything got suddenly worse after a mercury filling fell out and I swallowed it. A few years earlier, the same thing had happened and that’s when the food allergies started. I started to experience severe brain/nervous system inflammation and out of desperation, went to a chiropractor. For the following 5 years I worked for 2 Chiropractors and had Corrective treatment of 2-3 adjustments a week. All my symptoms went into remission. In 2008, while working in Administration, I found as the intensity of adjustments wore off, the inflammation began to come back. Then anothe...
