Personal Stories


Stories are important. Without them, we lose our connection with each others' realities and greatly limit our understanding.  

Here you will find opportunities to see and learn through others' experiences and insights, and hopefully clarify your thinking, consider solutions, exercise empathy, or find your own voice.

beastie"Several years ago we reported of the sudden case of salivary cancer contracted by Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys. We were extremely hopeful that he would conquer this condition of the modern age. Today with great regret, we have learned of his transcending to the Buddhists of the universe. While paying deep respects to his work as a musician and activist, we feel it would dishonor his journey to overlook the fact that he most likely developed his condition through cell phone exposure.

"It has been widely documented that the power supplies within cell phones emit tremendous levels of electron particles when in use. As a cell phone struggles to gain signal the levels can reach four times their normal operational parameters. This exposure to electron clouds ruptures the integrity of your cellular DNA and protein structures, and causes complex organs such as the parotid salivary gland to develop levels of defective cells that your immune system cannot purge prior to developing cancer.

"The issue is so volatile for the trillion dollar industry of cell phones that apps designed to monitor such outputs have been banned from sale by the vendors themselves.

"We urge all of you to buy a wired headset, or use the headset that comes with your phone. It is inconvenient to have a wire to your phone, but it will mean the difference between life and death in the long run . . .

Wireless Networks a Major Health Risk (Tetra)

Police Commander, Police in Southern Skane, Sweden

"To argue as the Swedish Radiation Protection authority that the levels are so low from the wireless network that they do not affect human health, is to ignore the facts. This was written by Roger Carlstrom, Police commander in Southern Sweden in a reply to Adam Lagerqvist, NT debate, 5/5.

"My name is Roger Carlstrom. I am 47 years old and am an external officer at the police in southern Sweden. I'll tell you about my experience with wireless networks . . .

Thilde Jensen's recovery from environmental illness

severe chemical and electrical sensitivities helped by the Dynamic Neural Retraining System



"Thilde Jensen is an extremely likable 39-year-old Danish woman. Her broad cheekbones and piercing blue eyes hold your attention easily. Soft-spoken but not shy, she's the kind of person that enters effortlessly into engaging conversation with just about anyone, and makes you feel listened to; heard. She cries easily when you share of your pain or past trauma. It's this compassionate nature and ability to converse with just about anyone that makes her such a good photojournalist. And those were the conditions I met her under; as a photojournalist traveling across country to document how people with severe chemical and electrical sensitivities are living . . .

"Thilde was a participant of the Dynamic Neural Retraining System in September 2010.  She had suffered from both severe chemical and electrical sensitivities for eight years and at its worst was forced to sleep in a tent for 3 years due to her condition."

Letter to Premier from Doctor

Open letter from Dr Federica Lamech to Premier Baillieu of Victoria, Australia (Stop Smart Meters)

Open letter to the Premier from Dr. Federica Lamech to Premier Baillieu of Victoria, Australia

"Since the completion of the smart meter roll-out in my area, I have been very, very sick.

"I have continuous palpitations, chest pain, a weird taste in my mouth, loss of appetite, lethargy, dizziness, faint attacks, inability to concentrate and complete insomnia.

"I have the feelings at home, in the street, in all the streets of my area and at the shops.

"I am not able to function. I can't work, I can't look after my family, I need my husband, who is now the only breadwinner, to take care of me.

"My symptoms only disappear when I am in an area without smart meters, in a large park or on the beach. When my husband drives me through the Melbourne suburbs, I tell him when I feel my symptoms abate, he stops the car and looks at house fronts and, sure enough, he sees the old-style meters. This can be reproduced very predictably.

"We now have to sell our home and find a place to live, where I get few or no symptoms. In the long-term, we have no choice but to leave the state of Victoria, as even if I find a 'symptom free' home

Surrounded by smart meters

Cowichan resident experiencing health effects

Gillian Sanders, Cowichan Bay
published in Cowichan Valley Citizen

"In February, I started having fainting spells and odd moments of dizziness accompanied by nausea and fatigue.

"When these spells begin, I feel light-headed, my body collapses, my heart races, and during the latest spell, experienced several hours of delirium. It's a little like heat exhaustion. I have been in the ER for two of these episodes only to learn that my blood pressure is normal, even a bit low, other vitals are normalizing, and as yet, medics have found nothing wrong with me. Extensive tests are to follow.

"I lead a fairly healthy low-stress lifestyle, there is no family history of problems of this nature, and I can't for the life of me figure out why this has suddenly started happening.

"The only thing I know that is different is that at the end of January, my neighbourhood, excluding me because I sent "the letter" to BC Hydro and pinned a copy beside my meter, got the smart meter. Unfortunately, my neighbour's meter points down my driveway and every time I come near to it, I feel pounding pressure in my head. I am very sensitive to electro-magnetic waves and microwaves and if I am in a "mood," can cause computers to fail. I am wondering if other readers are beginning to experience nebulous health issues that could, if pondered upon correctly, be caused by smart meters, particularly people with pacemakers?

"I found "Smart Meters - The Real Story" on YouTube to be helpful, as was an Internet search of smart meters and health issues.

"Does anybody have a plan for an inexpensive Faraday cage that I can build around my neighbour's meter? . . .

"I managed to have smart meter installation delayed at my house, but suddenly became sick overnight with palpitations, chest pain, insomnia, dizziness, inability to concentrate and memory loss and fainting spells. AFTER becoming sick I found out that the day I became suddenly sick was the day the smart meter roll-out was completed in my area and the smart meters were remotely turned on from base.

"I can no longer drive, I can't work (I'm a doctor), I have to go and sleep at my mother in law's place (there are no smart meters there yet).

"My life is completely ruined and the energy companies and members of Victorian Parliament completely ignore me. Two doctors have confirmed my disability is entirely due to my sensitivity to smart meters' radio transmission and I am 100% sure of that as I can always tell accurately if I am in a smart metered area or not . . .

Electromagnetic Interference and Medical Implants (Parts 1 and 2)

Dr. Gary R. Olhoeft, professor of geophysics at Colorado School of Mines

According to Dr. Gary R. Olhoeft, professor of geophysics at Colorado School of Mines, smart meters and other wireless devices can interfere with sensitive medical implants, including deep brain stimulators for Parkinson's disease as well as pacemakers.

Dr. Stephen J. Kirsch states that there are links between negative physical symptoms and smart meters and those lying at the extreme ends of the age spectrum that are especially susceptible to health issues like infants and the elderly.

"In Olvera, a beautiful town of Cadiz, the Councillor for the Environment, James Steward, confirmed that the full City Council unanimously approved to declare the town a "Electromagnetic Pollution-Free Municipality". Importantly, with the unanimity of the United Left party, but voted for by the Spanish Socialist Party and the Popular Party, and harnessed it has motivated different political forces, is to ensure a safe and healthy environment the villagers. We can say openly and without fear of error, that there are no official records of municipalities, with the same kind of decision. Just know that in Cartagena and Murcia several villages in neighboring federations called for something similar, as have many provinces of Spain, but have just not progressed.  

"As an extension of the news, Environment Councilman James Waiter said, "As our town is small, we have the typical problem of the tomes of masts on the roofs, on the contrary, the urban landscape of the upper population is adorned by a concrete tower with antennas installed and lack of legality, which we intend to remove it immediately. "

"And every day that this issue gets more heated -- and just last week the newspaper released a story in which a former flight attendant and a former technical director of a university, both of French origin, became refugees living in a cave in the Alps to protect themselves from the "unbearable pain" produced by electromagnetic waves."

The Tipping Edge - Needing to Go Home

38 year-old man attempting to live with electromagnetic sensitivity (ES) in Pretoria, South Africa

"My name is Alwyn Lewies and I am 38 years old. I am giving a short background of my life with an illness called Electromagnetic Sensitivity (ES), which I have been struggling with for the past 12 years since exposure from a cell mast.

"It started in 2000 with a cell phone tower that was erected at my workplace in Wapadrand, Pretoria. We were approached by a cell phone company who was interested in putting up a tower on my premises and we were assured that the tower would have no effect on us at all . . .

"I will continue to fight until the end. I owe it to myself and my family to seek a way to find a normal life. This letter is my last attempt to try and convince the authorities that ES is very real and a life threatening disease. I just want my life back and it really just depends on the cell phone towers closest to my home . . .
