"All EMF*d Up": A “Sensitive” Person’s Journey with Federally Recognized Disability, Electromagnetic Sensitivity aka Microwave Sickness

By B.N. Frank

Many people are familiar with last year’s news reports about U.S. Embassy workers and family members in Cuba and China who became sick and/or disabled. Microwave radiation-emitting weapons were suspected to have been the culprit.

Unfortunately, even when weapons aren’t used, anybody can become sick or disabled from exposure to sources of Electromagnetic Radiation (aka “Electrosmog”). This seems to be medically recognized worldwide including by the U.S. Access Board. American Academy for Pediatrics and other health experts warn that children may be more vulnerable to this than adults. Exposure affects animals too.

Thanks to Annie Mills for documenting her journey with this illness and offering practical advice in All EMF*d Up. From Physicians for Safe Technology:

What is the diagnosis, doctor? The onset of strange symptoms, in a strange country, in the middle of the night led the author to more than a diagnosis of microwave illness. After suffering months of unexplained nausea, insomnia, ringing in the ears, fatigue and body aches she consulted with a German doctor to help her figure out what was happening. In her journey to find her own health she learned about the secrecy of government agencies and how evidence of health effects are suppressed. Her diary reads like Anne Frank. Chilling and a warning to us all. The last part of the book is devoted to valuable DYI measures to protect your home and family. In the age of wireless this book is a necessary read. Her story is reminiscent of other peoples journey’s into microwave illness and chronic electrohypersensitivity. All EMFd Up (Electromagnetic Fields): My Journey Through Wireless Radiation Poisoning and How You Can Protect Yourself. (2019) by Anne Mills is a good read.

Thanks also to Dr. Madga Havas, Physicians for Safe Technology, Smart Meter Harm. We Are The Evidence and all other organizations for posting great resources online about Electrosmog and Electromagnetic Sensitivity.
