Fatigue, pain, headaches, dizziness, burning, twitching, nausea, palpitations.
Just some of the symptoms experienced by people who say they suffer from 'electrosensitivity'.

Electrosensitives – who are mostly self-diagnosed - say that electromagnetic fields from mobile phones, wi-fi and other modern technology are making them seriously ill.

Years of well-controlled, double-blind studies have found no evidence that electromagnetic fields cause these symptoms.

The World Health Organisation says electrosensitivity is not a medical diagnosis, and both the WHO and Public Health England say there’s no scientific basis that these symptoms are linked to electromagnetic field exposure.

But, with super-fast 5G mobile technology spreading across the UK, electrosensitives are getting increasingly worried.

  • I use to have a neighbor who had this condition. Anytime he would leave the house he wore this aluminum foil blanket and would run around the yard. He used to light up his house with lamps and candles and one night one of the lamps got knocked over and it caused a house fire and it killed him. Made me feel real bad for him and his family that he had to live like that.
  • This disease is so dangerous-there was a successful lawyer in New Mexico who got it and it ruined his marriage, relationship with his brother (who also became an attorney) and in the end his law firm. He died due to his complications with this disease. It is so sad.

    Hospital physician here. Unfortunately the safety standards for microwave radiation have been set to accommodate economic and military purposes, not long-term public health. The Bio-initiative Report 2012 and NTP study are good places to start when unpicking this issue. Everybody is affected by this, even if it is below the level of their awareness. These frequencies penetrate the skin, right through the skull and skeletal system to underlying organs. They affect the non-visual receptors in the retina which controls how we perceive light to make hormones and neurotransmitters. It stimulates cortisol which is a stress-response. All of these mechanisms translate to a range of damage from a mitochondrial, cellular and neuro-hormonal perspective. This is, by far, the biggest public health challenge we have ever faced. We are microwaving ourselves from the inside-out and, what's more, we are paying for the privilege and enjoying the ride without realising we have been dazzled with comfort and convenience at the expense of our health and safety.

    I have to say that even though I"m not 'bothered' by E-sensitivity, I have do have very keen hearing senses. The high frequency 'buzzing' that occurs from fridges, baseboard heaters, etc... really bothers me and gives me headaches. The world is a very noisy place. I'm not surprised that some people are suffering from all of this 'noise' - electronic, audio or otherwise.

    The worst part is, everyone around you thinks your insane. I can deal with the sensitivities, it's the pieces of dirt who refuse to believe it.
  • Im a living Evidnece foe EMF sensitivity , memory loss, I feel fatigue , skeleton burning , bone pain, pain down my spine ,sleep disorder, waking up in the middle of night , night mare while Im around the WIFI. I feel like Im antenna ., ever since I found out the cause and reduced the use of wifi Im much better than before.

    I too am a sufferer! I can't stand near Bluetooth, WiFi, 3/4G and any electrical appliance! The sharp stabbing pain begins almost instantly! It's like an ice pick going thru my skull! My eyes start to hurt and if I do not remove myself I begin feeling terrible nausea and feeling of faintness. It's so bad that I sleep in the bathrooms of hotels to be protected from WiFi or network emissions as the walls offer some protection and if it's too intense I feel like I am dying! It's horrible that we are not taken seriously or believed! I too like using my iPhone and the likes but I always have to watch that I don't over do it! If someone has their Bluetooth next to me, I don't even have to look or know they are there! The searing pain through my skull tells me straight away! How can they say it's imaginary? Why won't we be believed? The minute I turn off all devices my headache lifts like a veil and the pressure and burning in my skull just dissipate! I am struggling every day with tech emissions! My life revolves around trying to balance it by getting enough sleep away from EMFS and eating anti inflammatory foods! It's like a bucket that overfills and needs to be emptied in order to have any amount of tolerance of EMFs! Please people believe us! We DONT want to be like that! We too used to love WiFi's and mobile phones! We do not CHOOSE to be this way!

    My troubles are with the ELF ... they are 24/7 ... Anyone else deal with this ?
  • I said to my friend I feel like I'm slowly dying. In 2 years I've gone from bieng a driver of 40yrs, now can't drive at all for the last 2years. Been dizzy, head spinning 24,7 bells and vibrations in my head, anxiety is through the roof. Can't bare any noise white noise. Sudden pressure in head. I'm suffering horrific muscles spasms legs, feet, back, neck. Throat, and upper respiratory problems, chronic fatigue, 24,7 just want to lay down and close my eyes. Had brain scan, nothing wrong no tumours nothing. But said I had pppd, and cirvicovirtigo and crystals in the ear, although 3 head manoeuvres failed to help me! Also had neck mri. Having endoscopy 26th Sept, 22 to look at a condition I've had 20 or 30 years oesophagitis reflux disease, and hiatus hernia in my chest. Its never been to much of a problem, but now this last 3 months I can hardly swallow food, I choke at least 4 times a day. My body is not absorbing nutrition vitamins etc. My iron level is 7 it should be 70. I have very low levels of everything. My doctor said we don't want to alarm you, but it may be cancer of the oesophagus, and to see if my hernia is strangling my oesophagus. The doctor said, it's pressing on my other organs causing oxygen restriction, to my brain, and that could be why I'm so dizzy etc. So just waiting for this procedure to see where I am. But right now I have no life, I can't function normally when I feel I've become detached from reality. I am 59 with 5 kids all grown up, 20 grandkids, 1 great grand baby! I can't even hold them for fear I'll drop them, it really upsets me. So to everyone on here, you are not crazy, in England we know it 5geeeee poisoning.
  • @NYCeesFinest
    Its starting to make me sick the only time I feel well is out in nature.
  • @BoloUp
    You are not crazy neither nuts or imagining. The symptoms, headaches, pain, nausea, chest pain, buring when you head phone or sharp pain pain in head are from wifi. When my neighbor shuts off his wifi I sleep better. Will be investing in a cocoon tent to alsp protect me when i sleep. We turn off our wi fi and cell phns. everyone has wi fi it in their apartment, we have it in our cars and now more than ever in most of our city. I have a beanie I wear, it protects about half, lessens my symptoms but when I sense more pressure I go a different route, shut off what I can. My spouse is very supportive. He is an electrical engineer and I have also learned from him. Thank you for this video. We are not alone, those that set up the 5 g towers know exactly what they are doing and the cdc also knows exactly what the cause and effects are long term. Watch out for those companies that offer free phns with your phn package and discounts on pcs..they might be damaged.
  • @erickdavid2412
    WOW there is a lot of physiological illness in the comment section
  • @rpaheather144
    Omg I am going thru this same problem here in my city I. Experiences headaches dizziness nauseous high ringing in my ears feeling warm spots in my chest having heart palpitations for the last 5 months how can I go about getting tested they are in the process of reffering me out to a cardiologist and getting blood work done 😔 This is like tourtue with no one to turn to or no one to run too it's heart breaking
  • I have this though possibly a bit milder but it's still really crap with sleeping and feeling numb and disoriented, mentally dulled, strange skin sensations, I've had pain in some bones in really bad areas but rarely I am in environments like that or I would be really depressed, oh in general it is really depressing, it's like being attacked all the time....crazy world....

    For the last 18 months or so, I've been suffering from inner body vibrations, mainly in my legs and feet. It's driving me crazy, and keeps me awake at nights. Nobody, not even GPs have an answer. There was a 5G tower put up at our local shops while Covid was keeping us indoors, and I can see it from my bedroom, and am now wondering if it's that. We have all the technology in our home, laptop, modem, etc., though, even standing next to our fridge sends the vibrations through me. Is there anybody out there that is suffering from this? (I'm in Australia, if that makes a difference).
  • Omg I’m so sorry :( I can hear wifi too.. I have noticed the kare towers go up here in Australia, I feel constant fatigue (never use to) .. stabbing pain and headaches in the side of my head nearly everyday .. it’s horrendous. I’m so sorry 💔
  • This stuff is real. It's a fact that the 4G makes your water molecules spin on their axis. I get pressure in my ears, elevated blood pressure, kinks in my muscles and back, tightness in my chest, pressure on the glands in my neck. It goes on and on. I draw blood. they are now running heavy Wi-Fi signals in these homes. I had blood coming out of my ears last week. I am ready to quit my job and I am praying for God's guidance. These signals are everywhere, you can't escape them. Also, the residents in the nursing facilities are under these signals 24/7 and i guarantee you, it's slowly killing them. It's actually mass genocide but it's a multi billion dollar industry, there IS a depopulation agenda and they are lying out of their noses about the dangers of this stuff. I feel this woman's pain.
