Being Electrosensitive (in a microwaved world)

We Are The Evidence website This new initiative has been founded by Dafna Tachover, the attorney and EMF/EHS advocate. She is currently in Washington DC with Kevin Mottus, and they are lobbying Congress against 5G and wireless technologies, and working to raise awareness of electrosensitivity. I think that they are in DC for the whole of September. At the time of writing, the website is still "work in progress", but Dafna is keen for people to submit their own electrosensitivity and wireless harm stories, so that these can be raised with the decision makers. If you'd like to submit your testimonial, please complete the "I Am The Evidence" form - link below. I said in my previous post words to the effect that we need to make our voices heard. This is an excellen

I made a throwaway comment on Facebook recently, about how I think that we, the electrosensitive community, need to speak out and assert our fundamental human rights, through something that resembles the Gay Pride movement. While LGBT individuals are making great strides around the world in the quest for an end to the stigma, prejudice and discrimination which has faced them in the past, we - by the very nature of our condition perhaps - are collectively much less vocal, and even when we do manage to get our voices heard, we then usually have to endure the barrage of "tinfoil hat" gags, and patronising, ignorant, and/or downright offensive comments. Here's a recent example of the latter, possibly well-meaning (but who knows?), left underneath a Humans of New York photo and comment from an electrosensitive lady: "It seems the hardest thing for people without mental illness to understand

My comment to the FCC - Dave Ashton Following on from yesterday's post about submitting EHS-related comments to the FCC regarding their plans for 5G in the US, involving the installation of "millions" of small cells, I've submitted mine today, which I've copied below. I had real problems submitting a file containing my comments - I tried a number of different file types, but the only one that worked for me was a .txt file. I don't know if other people have experienced this, but if you do, a .txt file should work. Also, there are some instructions below which hopefully simplify the process if you have a text file that you want to submit (rather than typing a comment on their website). To add a file with your comments Use the link below: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings Proceedings - enter number, and select the relevant proceeding from the list (the numbers are 14-177, 15-256, RM-11664, 10-112, 97-95) Na

Ann Hardwick - Life Behind a Closed Door I've never met Ann in person, and due to her condition (and my own), it seems likely that I never will. I've written one or two letters to her, and I received a very nice card from her a while back. Ann has severe multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) and electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), and she has been made housebound by her condition. She cannot have people in her house, and keeps the windows tightly closed, to keep the toxins outside from getting in. People who visit her, including her son, and her helper, Mel, have to communicate with her from outside, through the window. Mel posts online, as Ann is unable to do this herself. At one time, the NHS did pay for her to have treatment from Breakspeak Medical. This helped her to have a near-normal life, but when the funding was revoked after 3 years, she was forced to stop the treatment, and her condition worsened again. Ann then

Call for Awareness of Electrosensitivity  One of the people in the UK Electrosensitives group on Facebook has recently made this short video on electrosensitivity, and has put it up on Youtube. We would like to establish an International EHS Association, run by, and for, people with electrosensitivity. Part of this will involve people like us telling our stories - whether in videos like this, or in blog posts. There are so many of us "out there", and yet - for the most part - we are not heard, and our incapacitating conditions certainly aren't accommodated. This must change, and I think that videos like this are an excellent way of raising awareness. This is what the maker of this video said: Hi all, here is an idea from our recent brainstorming coming to life. It requires your input now. It was suggested that we create videos where everyone who knows EHS is true can have a say. You can - tell your story and show the world what it is like to be EHS - say how

This post is to collect links to EHS and EMF leaflets and cards that might be useful for electrosensitive people. If you know of anything else that could be included, please let me know.
