Practical Tips to Escape Electrosmog from the World Council for Health

Like the proverbial ‘canary in the coal mine’, some people are naturally more sensitive to EMFs than others. We need to pay attention to what they are saying about the symptoms of EMF exposure.

WORLD COUNCIL FOR HEALTH

“The only reasonable explanation for the alarming decline in health of the millennial generation is the life-long irradiation of their brains and bodies from their cell phones.”
– Arthur Firstenberg, The Invisible Rainbow

Electrosmog – invisible pollution

Life on Earth has always been exposed to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from natural sources, such as cosmic rays, solar radiation, heat sources, and radioactivity. But since electricity was first distributed in the late 19th Century, so many artificial EMF sources have been developed that we are now surrounded by an invisible form of pollution known as ‘electrosmog’ (electronic smog). These artificial EMFs are emitted by high-voltage power lines, radar, TV and cellphone transmitters, electrical wiring, and all manner of everyday electrical appliances (e.g. microwaves, refrigerators) and electronic devices (e.g. cellphones, Smart TVs, Bluetooth, Wi-fi). 

Listen to the canaries!

Like the proverbial ‘canary in the coal mine’, some people are naturally more sensitive to EMFs than others. We need to pay attention to what they are saying about symptoms of EMF exposure because it may just take more time for those with higher tolerance levels to experience these impacts.

Common symptoms of EMF sensitivity include headaches, fatigue, poor concentration, and sleep disorders. But research suggests that the increasing prevalence and intensity of EMFs may be doing serious damage to the human body, including causing heart arrhythmias, cancers (including brain tumours), ADHD, fibromyalgia, and weakened immunity. 

How can I reduce my exposure to electrosmog?

It is practically impossible to avoid EMFs in today’s world. For instance, you are probably reading this article on an electronic device connected wirelessly to the Internet. But, as the brilliant infographic below illustrates, there are numerous ways to reduce exposure. It’s about choices – behavioural and technological.

From a behavioural point of view, make it a habit to switch off, step away, and get away from constant EMF bombardment. This could mean switching off the wifi at night, keeping electronic devices out of the bedroom, leaving your phone at home while going for a barefoot walk in the park, or planning a weekend getaway to a remote area with terrible cellphone reception.

Where technology is concerned, wherever practical, go for the least convenient option! If it’s wired, it’s generally safer, and if it’s ‘smart’, it’s generally not (and it’s probably spying on you).

You can also protect your body from exposure to EMFs with specially designed shielding fabrics that are interwoven with metallic threads. Check out the World Council for Health’s online shop for beanies, phone pouches, and bags. Other suppliers stock more clothing items, as well as canopies to shield your bed so that your body has time to recover while you sleep.

If you employ strategies to reduce your daily EMF exposure, let us know about it in the comments on this post!

If you find value in this Substack and have the means, please consider making a contribution to support the World Council for Health. Thank you.

Core Principles for Healing Tick Borne Disease

Core Principles for Healing Tick Borne Disease

By Dr. Hinchey

I highly recommend you print out Dr. Hinchey’s sheet, study it, and take it along with you to your doctor appointment.  There are wonderful talking points and issues that every patient should consider.  Remember – you are a partner with your doctor in this journey and need to learn as much as you can.  As they say, “two heads are better than one.”

That said, I actually learned the most from listening to other patients and reading books and articles on my own.  There’s nothing like experience as a teacher.  Just remember that what works for one patient, may not work for another – so always keep an open mind and be willing to experiment.  As one person put it, “Lyme is a ‘do it yourself’ disease.”  Truer words were never spoken.

It’s also important to state here that sometimes you hit a roadblock with your practitioner.  Perhaps their mind is closed or you just feel they aren’t listening, etc.  After trying to work with them, you may need to consider moving on and changing doctors at some point; however, I must warn you that there are many, many bumps in this road as well as plateaus so be patient and reasonable.  Nothing about treating Lyme/MSIDS is quick or easy!

Implicit Costs of Illness

Implicit Costs of Illness

By Grace Burns

2/7/24

Grace is earning her Master’s degree in Sustainability Management at Columbia University, works at S&P Global, and is a member of Project Lyme’s Junior Board.

My Journey

When facing illness, the last thing on your mind is the price of delivery for an at-home Covid test or order of chicken noodle soup from a local restaurant. Or is it?

As medication, food, and personal wellness prices rise amongst a price gauged economy, the cost of being sick grows increasingly staggering. As a Chronic Lyme and POTS patient for eight years, financing sickness has become woven into the fabric of my short-term and long-term budgets.

I first became sick at 16 years old; the financial burden of my care fell on my parents. My public-school teacher Mom would take sick days to take me to countless doctor’s appointments, take credit cards out to pay for MRIs, and skimp on annual family vacations in lieu of schlepping me to specialists across the country.

Neither my doctors nor my family expected me to need treatment at age 24. The financial burden has now shifted to me, aptly parallel to my transition to adulthood.

When I suffer from cyclical declines in my health: bouts of fevers, chills, flu-like symptoms, neuropathy, migraines and cognitive fogging, I notice a sharp uptick in my daily and weekly expenses. But how much could some broth and Kleenex be, anyway?

Most recently, I suffered from an eight-day long bout of illness related to my chronic Lyme. Below is a breakdown of my expenses across the eight-day span only related to being sick.

The above breakdown denotes expenses made during this bout of sickness, but are generally reflective of the categorical spending areas that increase when I am sick.

By The Numbers

Healthcare in the United States costs $12,555 per person annually. Omitted from that figure are the many ancillary services not listed strictly within the healthcare space. My loss in cognitive and muscle function requires me to get food delivered to my apartment. If I have to leave I use a car service like Uber, as I am too sick to walk, regardless of the distance.

Many of these expenses aren’t within reach for the average person; the tradeoff for maintaining full-time employment while chronically ill is the alleviation of financial burden during these bouts.

However, for the 38 million Americans living below the poverty level, and many more in the middle class, ordering takeout even for a meal is not a reality they can afford. Being sick, and properly caring for your physical wellbeing has barriers to entry in the 21st century.

Without proper immediate and preventative care, many chronic symptoms exacerbate. They result in increased future costs in the form of medication, lost wages when symptoms intensify, and piling hospital bills. As a direct result of the inflationary period in 2022, 100 million Americans– at the time 38% of the population- chose to delay or skip medical treatment and cut essentials like utilities and food to pay their medical bills.

While not all individuals are impacted by Lyme and POTS, 133 million Americans suffer from a chronic illness. The Center for Disease Control cites 6 out of 10 adults in the United States are chronically ill, 4 out of 10 suffering from 2 or more long-term conditions. Health-care, as we address these staggering, and growing, statistics, should address the total cost of operation of care.

There have been countless legislative initiatives in this light. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, amongst others, served to expand health insurance coverage for individuals suffering from chronic disease, though its legislative progression is unclear at this juncture.

Most recently, the Chronic Disease Management Act of 2021 was introduced in the Senate, covering any preventative care service item used to treat a chronic condition, barring cost and efficacy stipulations. The bill never progressed.

There is also a profound opportunity cost of sickness. Along with every-day pain management and aforementioned incurred costs is the opportunity cost of a life without chronic illness.

Often, I have to log off right as the work day is over, or earlier, though I want to get a few extra hours in to prep for the week to come. I turned down demanding job offers with restrictive sick day policies or in-office mandates.

Despite achievement, I am financially bound by my illness, as are thousands of Americans suffering at the crux of an economic and burgeoning public health crisis.

Between the tests for Lyme disease and coinfections, doctor visits, and medications, the charges can add up for patients. Throughout the country, several organizations are working to make it easier to get a proper diagnosis and begin treatment. If you need financial assistance, click here to locate nonprofits that may be able to help you or your family with diagnostic testing and other Lyme-related expenses.

**Comment**

A topic that doesn’t get discussed much but is very important.

Back when my husband and I were in the thick of treatment we spent about $15K per year, per person under the care of a Lyme literate doctor.  I’m certain this has increased exponentially.

Now, after we have reached “remission,” and are no longer in active treatment we spent $25K for the two of us in 2022.  This includes doctor visits, supplements, prescriptions, etc.  I can only imagine what this would cost if we were in active treatment.

Intellectuals for Sale: CDC Retaliates Against Its Own For ‘Wrong’ Mask Research

CDC Warns CDC’s Own Scientists That Their Finding on Masks “Is Not Scientifically Correct”

During a congressional hearing, CDC Directory Mandy Cohen did not rule out mandating masks again for toddlers.

 
PAUL D. THACKER
FEB 8, 2024
 

In a congressional hearing last November on restoring trust in science, CDC Director Mandy Cohen kept evading questions on whether she would bring back mask mandates for toddlers.

“We have a lot of different tools to protect our children,” Dr. Cohen said during her cagey response.

Six days later, a BMJ journal published a study that found “mask recommendations for children are not supported by scientific evidence.”

Director Cohen’s scientific bumbling continued last week as her agency began fighting with CDC’s own researchers over another contentious declaration: N95 respirators work better than surgical masks. In recent years, mask advocates have shifted goalposts and demanded N95 respirators, which they claim perform better than surgical masks at stopping the COVID virus.

Not true say CDC’s own scientists, according to CDC documents I uncovered.

During a presentation last summer, a CDC expert stated there was no difference between N95 respirators and masks in stopping viruses. These findings have been supported by CDC scientists in a study CDC published on the agency’s website last November—just a few weeks before Director Cohen testified before Congress.

To shut down this controversy, CDC wrote a blog last week warning researchers that to suggest that facemasks and respirators are the same “is not scientifically correct.” (See link for article)

______________

**Comment**

Thacker drills down and finds a CDC meta-analysis comparing the effectiveness of surgical masks with N95 against viruses. Result: NO DIFFERENCE.

But truth simply does not matter in the CDC Twilight Zone.

A systemic review noted that N95 respirators filter particles better than surgical masks, but they are NOT any better at stopping viruses in real world conditions.

Thacker then calls out to whistleblowers inside the CDC to contact him privately to discuss what is going on inside the hopelessly corrupt CDC which is beyond all hope and rehabilitation.

The Treason of Intellectuals

1/24

In this interview, Niall Ferguson, Milbank Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and senior faculty fellow of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard University, discusses his stunning essay “The Treason of the Intellectuals,” published in December 2023 in the Free Press.

Anyone who has a naive belief in the power of higher education to instill morality has not studied the history of German universities in the Third Reich. ~ Dr. Niall Ferguson

The essay delves deeply into the changes Ferguson has observed in his 30-year career as an academic, especially over the past 10 years. He has witnessed the willingness of trustees, donors, and alumni to tolerate the politicization of American universities by an illiberal coalition of ‘woke’ progressives, who have betrayed their role by pursuing a specific political goal, but pretending they are engaged in an academic activity.

Intellectuals for Sale

BY JEFFREY A. TUCKER
12 FEBRUARY 2024
 

In the first week of March 2020, as news of a virus was everywhere, intellectuals associated with the Yale University School of Public Health penned a letter expressing the conventional wisdom of the moment: we should not lock down. That harms the poor and vulnerable populations. Travel restrictions achieve nothing. 

Quarantine, if it is deployed at all, said the letter, should only be for the very sick and only in the interest of the health of the community. Government should never abuse its powers but instead find “the least restrictive measure” that still protects community health. 

The letter writers gathered signatures. They found 800 others in their profession to sign it. Of course the whole text was discarded by governments at all levels everywhere in the world. 

Reading it now, we will find that it makes mostly the same points as the Great Barrington Declaration that came out seven months later. After that document, which was wrongly seen as partisan, many of the people who signed the original Yale letter then signed a new letter, this one called the John Snow Memorandum, calling for a zero-Covid policy and universal lockdowns. 

What happened?

(See link for article)

_______________

Summary:

  • Academics, think tankers, authors and pundits all over the world who were initially against draconian measures changed suddenly once every nation in the world other than Sweden locked down.
  • When “Trump’s” COVID ‘vaccine’ came out, Anthony Fauci, Kamala Harris, Governor Andrew Cuomo, Dr. Eric Topol, Dr. Peter Hotez and Dr. Ashish Jha all said that the public should be extremely wary, but turned on a dime a few months later stating it should be mandated despite no data, no evidence, and no new information. 
  • Very few have apologized for anything despite the fact these measures not only did not have any positive impact on COVID, they actually killed people.
  • Currently, those of the professional intellectual class who are truth-tellers are mostly retired.
  • Those dependent upon an institution are less likely to speak the truth.
  • In order to ascend up the ranks in intellectual pursuits, you must be wise and that means not bucking the prevailing ideological trends.
  •  In hopes of rekindling apolitical science, Brownstone Institute began a series of retreats for experts free of back-stabbing faculty politics and bureaucracy, in which serious research and ideas are put on display and valued for what they are.  There is no unified message, no action items, and no hidden agenda.

The Climate Industrial Complex Building ‘Carbon Removal Plants”

For anyone paying attention, the players in this global cabal are all interrelated and are working in lockstep, which has rightly caused a crisis of trust.  While the unelected fully believe they need to dictate our every move due to our stupidity, they’ve been attempting to rebuild trust as they also attempt to ‘build back better,’ but the public is finally waking up to the fact nothing is back and nothing is better, as their freedoms are being removed one by one under the guise of ‘pandemics,’ ‘public health,’ ‘climate change,’ and ‘equity.’

Many are unaware that the climate narrative is part and parcel of this global endgame and that drastic and irreversible climate engineering worries real scientists who state the endeavor should be relegated to the fantasy realm and science fiction.

But it’s all big, big business.

The Climate-Industrial Complex

Foundations and journalists who channel public funds into “renewable energy”

JOHN LEAKE
FEB 14, 2024

Of all rackets, the so-called “renewable energy” racket may be the most fraudulent and nonsensical. What geologists call “Last Glacial Period” occurred between c. 115,000 – c. 11,700 years ago. Pretty much ALL human development has occurred since the glaciers retreated. During the last Ice Age, glaciers advanced as far south as what is now the state of Missouri. They retreated at a time when human population is estimated to have number around 4 million.

The following chart is a visual representation of successive cooling and warming trends and the associated advance and retreat of glaciers.

The so-called greenhouse gases—carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone—comprise 0.04 percent of the earth’s atmosphere. Even scientists who pay lip service to the human induced global warming theory acknowledge that for most of the last 66 million years, Co2 levels in the earth’s atmosphere were much higher than they are today.

In the 1970s, climatologists were concerned that modern man would soon experience another cooling trend, resulting in yet another glacial advance that would bulldoze the cities of Canada and much of the United States. In the eighties, the theory of global warming—induced by human greenhouse gas emissions—became en vogue. What really ignited this intellectual, social, and political trend was the discovery that billions of public funds could be funneled into “renewable energy” industries through the mechanism of subsidies and tax credits.

This morning I stumbled across a notable investigative report titled Secret Partnership Fueling Climate Hawk Journalism. Note that many of the Foundations the are key players in the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex are also key players in the Climate-Industrial Complex.

Facts are facts. Science is science. But journalism should be journalism, too, not activism. When you have politically invested and motivated entities and activists driving an entire major policy area’s news coverage – or if not driving it, certainly attempting to have a hand on the wheel – you have to ask about the objectivity and mission. Journalism, reporting – our world increasingly treats them as commodities and platforms, and the public is growing more accustomed to it. Climate reporting is an area where it’s easy to see. But what about areas where it’s not so easy? That’s why the principle is so important. So you can trust it no matter how hot – or warm – the topic. ~ Caleb Howe, editor and writer

Speaking of “renewable energy” industries….

World’s Largest Carbon Removal Plant Being Built in Wyoming

“Direct air capture is a fairly energy-intensive process.”

“It’s a carbon removal credit, which is the actual financial product that we sell.“

Direct air capture (DAC) is a small but fast-growing sector, with 19 plants in operation worldwide today but with a further 30 in various stages of development.

  • Companies pay Carbon Capture to offset their emissions.
  • Those behind the scheme are convinced 10 gigatonnes of CO2 need to be removed every year by 2050.
  • It is prohibitively expensive costing $600 per ton of CO2 removed from the air.
  • It also snatches hundreds of acres of land from other uses such as growing food.  (Not to mention are quite ugly)
  • Two years in, Climeworks has yet to reveal how effective the technology actually is. 

This should jog the reader’s memory to another recent deployment of a highly popular technology promised to be ‘safe and effective,’ yet isn’t, and in fact has caused more adverse reaction and deaths that are continually being ignored for what is commonly known as “Hopium.”

We’ve already been warned that proposed green solutions are a gigantic scam being pushed for a much bigger agenda called The Great Reset, which if achieved will make the world unrecognizable.

In fact, 80% of carbon offset schemes are ‘likely junk or worthless.’
But controversial DAC got $1.2 BILLION from the Biden administration. Many claim it gives license to pollute.

And this is only the first round of funding in a bigger plan to dole out $3.5 billion to develop at least four DAC hubs across the US. In addition to the Texas and Louisiana projects, the DOE also selected 19 more proposed projects,  including the Gulf Coast, southwestern US, California, North Dakota, Wyoming, Illinois, and Kentucky.
