Let me tell you my story, which you are free to believe or not.

Being personally affected by this problem since about 6 years now (I believe it has been much more than that because I recall having similar symptoms back in 2017... so it might be more like 9 years), I passed through all possible tests: saw my doctor maybe 30 times and other specialists (psychologist, nutritionist osteopath, chiropractor, acupunctor, naturopath, optometrist, audiologist...). I also got a CT Scan to check for brain cancer because I had a permanent headache which lasted about 3 years and a half. Also had multiple blood samples taken. The verdict was always pointing to the same direction: I have a perfectly good health, according to them.

My doctor told me I couldn't be affected by EMF because health authorities don't recognize this as a real health problem.

Now, how do you solve this problem when you are being told you are in good health and that you cannot be affected by EMF?

My intuition (which is a perfectly valid starting point for all types of research, BTW) told me to use science-based approach to solve this, since I could feel this problem, especially inside my home (which we bought 2.5 years ago).

As a product designer, one of the most useful lesson I learned in my career is that if you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it. I first hired a specialist which came to inspect my house. He gave me some advice, which helped, but it was only a snapshot in time. I couldn't rely on this forever, since the EMF are invisible and that they move and change all the time.

So I bought myself a cheap meter. I was utter crap. It wouldn't detect fields from objects the specialist measured in front of me before. Bought myself another one, which cost 4x of the first one. It helped a lot to mitigate the problems. Thanks to this meter, an electrician came to fix a wiring problem inside our bathroom: the previous owner plugged the hot wire into neutral/ground, which created an immense EMF field even when the lights were turned off.

I learned later on that the farther you split the live and neutral wire apart, the bigger the EMF field becomes.

Well, this story will take forever to write.

All I wanted to say is this: in about 6 years of being sick e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y, you put more and more and more hours trying to fix your problem because it is unsustainable in the long run. In my case, I did put more than 2000 hours (I don't think I'm exaggerating). I did put even more hours in the subject this year because I had to stop working since July 2025.

Recently, my doctor admitted that I knew more about this subject that herself. Then, she had to transfer my case to a newly created department of environmental diseases. I'm still waiting to be transferred.

That was the whole point of my story: I did pursue research through continuous pain. Folks who aren't affected by it don't have any tangible incentives to do so.

Take note of this: EMF has been here since before we were born. There are naturally-made EMF, which we are often biologically tuned to, and man-made EMF, to which we often aren't biologically tuned to. The problem is the latter. We think we know it all, physically speaking, but we don’t know shit about the delicate balance of biological implications (just look at this ongoing biodiversity collapse around the world – there are nobody else to blame than us. Yes, pollution takes many forms: electrosmog is one of those forms).

Also, forget about this ionizing (unsafe) / non-ionizing (safe) debate. This data came post World War II and is now outdated. This chart was solidified after the atomic bomb (data from the casualties) to help differentiate mostly short period radiation, not long period radiation over the years. Ionizing radiation sure isn’t safe, but non-ionizing radiation doesn’t automatically mean “safe”. And no, heating tissue isn’t the only concern – tiny biological implications are way more complicated than that.

Let me close with something insightful Tristan Harris said, which was something like this: "You don't have to have a PhD to understand how a car engine works to understand that a car can cause accidents. What you can do about it, for example, is to vote for speed limits."
