DO NOT TRY AT HOME – EMF DANGER

emaxLeave a comment

Though I no longer suffer life-altering symptoms from EMF Sensitivity I continue to research with a passion for research through the lens of physics.

I’ve had a passion for physics – one nurtured by my physics and calc teachers – since high school.

When I came across an article in BBC Science Focus Magazine today I felt it important to offer an opinion if not a warning – put through the lens of EMF Sensitivity consequences.

The article is titled “I Let Scientists Hack My Brain to Prove Reality Is a Hallucination. It Worked.“

Normally I would provide a direct link to the article but it is not available on their website as of this writing.

I get it through my Apple News Service.

It’s a well-written article about the author’s experience in a sound booth with music and strobe lighting and how it affected him.

Do NOT Try This At Home!

My personal advice.

My relationship with strobe lighting goes back to the weeks and months after brain surgery necessary to repair a subdural hematoma.

I was 10.  

I would sit in a chair in the basement of a hospital – in the dark – with EEG electrodes glued to my scalp.

At least they’d moved beyond needles.

Several times a month month after month.**

Not a good time.

At various points during the test the tech would flash a strobe light in my eyes, sometimes having me add the stress of breathing rapidly, as if I was running a race.

They were trying to make me have a seizure.

Fortunately this didn’t happen and in the years since if I was at a concert or out dancing – where I was exposed to strobe lighting – have never had an issue.  

I’ve written blog posts about this including photos from the concert with the lights.

Here’s the thing.

Inducing seizures in children.

As I write in Riding the Waves: Diagnosing, Treating, and Living with EMF Sensitivity, Japanese families experienced a health emergency when a cartoon with a character whose eyes flashed caused a number of children watching the episode on TV to have seizures.

It’s one thing to undergo something in a lab but exposing yourself to various pulsing light frequencies is nothing to mess with.  It truly has serious health implications.

Be well.

** Every time I was referred to another specialist who wanted to have a peek inside my brain I had to have the test redone because they only trusted “their” techs. Make no mistake – it was hell.

For Better Or Worse: EMF Sensitivity

emaxLeave a comment

Working on my Dragon Core project – thoughts going through my mind.

EMF Sensitivity

Of course.

Not because I’m still sick because of it but because of random circumstance.

Been There Done That

It was after moving to the San Francisco Bay Area in the fall of 2000 I began to experience symptoms I learned were caused by my sensitivity to ultra low and very low EM Frequencies.

Note:  MY sensitivity.  I’ve often liken blaming cell towers for symptoms to blaming an oak tree for being allergic to it.

Not What You’d Think

The theory the San Francisco 49ers’ increased injuries are influenced by their proximity to an electrical substation have made headlines.

Interesting isn’t it that I didn’t get sick until I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area?

For Better or For Worse

What had me ruminating as I work on a fantasy romance series is the fact Aaron and I had only been married a year when we were plunged into the hell of the World of EMF.  A EE he is the one who ultimately figured out what was causing the mysterious and debilitating health symptoms upending my life.  

And together we walked the journey.

Think of that.  Only married a year and having to deal with something unfathomable.

Insult to EMF Injury

Basically the United States is the only country in the world that denies EMF Sensitivity is real.

In other words?  We were on our own.

Over a journey that spans decades Aaron helped me find answers – always ALWAYS believing in me.

Giving me countless hours to validate theories, facts, and remedies I can and have shared with the world.

That’s forever love.

Validation – Later Better Than Never

Couple of days ago I read about the effects of EMFs on the San Francisco 49ers.  

Something I’ve lived, ate, slept and drank since winter 2000.

They interviewed someone who says he’s studied it.  

Did he live it?

I spent close to 3 decades doing the devil’s dance with the hell of being affected by EMF Sensitivity.  It changes you to the point you no longer recognize the person you see in the mirror.

Validation

Months back reconnected with a guy I reached out to before publishing my work. A fellow PhD I consulted on the angle of chem V physics.

Chem ain’t my strong suit.

 Thanks to the time he gave as I paced my lawn and driveway – sick as a dog – mere feet from a fault line?  

Riding the Waves was born.

Aaron and I sat with him – he and I acknowledging life can kick you to the curb as my mentor would say.  

I’ll never forget meeting his gaze – this EMF Sensitivity mentor – validating I’d been run over by a truck I didn’t get the plate of.

Telling me in his way he’d been there too.

When I saw the articles on the effects of EMFs on NFL athletes?  

Yep.

Been there.  Done that.

Lived it.

As opposed to studying something you never experienced.

And you call yourself an expert.

New Fiction: Project Update

emaxLeave a comment

Hope everyone is doing well.  I’m excited to announce after years in which I never thought I’d be able to write again…

Thank you post-Covid burnout.

I’m about to release a work of fiction and already at work on the follow-up.

Soothsayer – a Port Gallatan novel – was released some years ago.  I was never satisfied with it so I pulled it, set it aside.

Never thought I’d touch it again – just assumed I’d work on the follow-on which will launch into a sub-series I’m really excited about.

The Idea That Won’t Die

The same challenge that haunted me years ago has been eating up mental cycles in recent months.  I wanted to move on to this very cool sub-series but there was another book that had to happen first and for that to happen – I had to release the follow-on to Port In a Storm.

Any other way would be a betrayal to the series and my vision for it.

Digging deep I pulled together the same energy that put me on this path in 2011 when I published Riding the Waves.

Courage to face the unknown.

I edited the manuscript, updated it with an eye to how the winds of fiction shift.

In terms of manuscript this translates to grammar as well as the potential for an oversaturated market.

I’m proud to say Soothsayer will be available soon.

With Gimme Shelter in the works.

Release dates TBD.

I’m also determined to make Podcast 4 work.

Stay tuned.

From There to Here: The Journey

emaxLeave a comment

The journey to pursue my dream of being a writer is nothing like I envisioned when I left corporate in 2003.

3 months after being awarded a doctorate in holistic health.

I certainly never thought I’d come face to face with EMF Sensitivity which sent my vision on a serious detour.

From fiction writing.

While I’m the proud author of a number of fiction works nonfiction continues to take a significant place in my work and my life.

I have a passion for drawing on knowledge and experience to help others.

And then there’s the apps. 

Though I spent decades in tech with programming experience in multiple languages it had been years since I’d done any programming.  

Aaron to the Rescue!

My husband who supported my dreams from when I shared them on our first date and who’s been my partner in the madness of leaving safety to follow a dream offered to write the code if I gave him the content and the intent.

I’m proud of my work as all of it has been created with a passion for helping others.

Fiction is a wonderful way to explore a world you never knew existed and to take your mind off your troubles.

I can add that I’m hard at work on Podcast 4: Dealing with stressful and toxic environments holistically.

New EMF App

emaxLeave a comment

I am so excited to announce the availability of Destination Unknown: Explorations of the Paranormal, an EMF project years in the making.

Why so Long?

Experience made me aware of the negative impacts of Sensitivity to Esoteric EM frequencies but I struggled to find a way to do justice to the subject.  

Under the umbrella of my work on EMF Sensitivity.

A Project of the Heart

It was after talking with someone severely affected by these frequencies I knew I had to figure it out.

It was heartbreaking to hear him cry as he recounted experiences that were turning his life upside-down.

I asked him to give me time to organize my thoughts and get tools and strategies into a format I could share with him.

Interest 

It came as no surprise when soon after making the decision to take on this challenge I began running into people expressing interest in the subject matter. Obviously, the Universe was listening.

A good thing as I was feeling quite anxious about the project.

Need

More striking is the number of people who reached out to me in the months after I made the choice, seeking help for dealing with the toll these frequencies were taking on them.  

What makes this so striking is none of them were aware of the project.

I will be following up personally with them in the days to come.

Formats

The information is available as an app and as a workbook.

I hope you enjoy the fruits of a labor of love.  Be sure to listen to the message at the bottom of the page.

Podcast 3: Reflective of Me

emaxLeave a comment

Happy and proud to announce Podcast Three: Caring for Family Holistically is available.

Fork In the Road.

The decision to do podcasts rather than sharing the information in written format has roots in my years in corporate.

Consulting.

The Who

I was having an email back and forth with a friend I’ve known since 1995.  His company was acquired by the Tech Company I was working for two months after I started.  We wound up on the same team and though we lived in different regions immediately connected on a level that went beyond tech skills.  When it came to customer service and how you treat people we shared the same values.  

We’ve remained friends in the years since I left tech.  In a recent email he suggested I share my stories with a wider audience.  I told him I’d think about it.

The What

The Universe must have had an interest because beginning shortly after I got a specifically worded message – repeatedly.

Me: “I’m a holistic doctor who specializes in nutritional healing and using exercise and other holistic healing methods.”

Them: “Oh I would love to do more of that but I wouldn’t know where to start.”

What went unsaid but which came out in the course of a brief discussion was they lacked the confidence to bring it up to their health care provider.

After weeks of this I decided to share the information in podcasts using stories to give context.

I discovered it felt natural.

Like my days in tech.

Another former colleague – one I helped with EMF Sensitivity told me I have a knack for explaining complex subjects in a way that makes them easy to understand.  

It certainly seemed so based on the conversations.  

When I looked at it like that the answer was clear.  I was still consulting.  

Only the subject had changed.

I hope you enjoy learning how to integrate holistic health practices into everday living.

Be well.

Holistic Tool: Audio Nap

emaxLeave a comment

It’s been a chaotic exciting couple of weeks.  What makes it super cool is clearing the towering In Box.  I can FEEL the energy flowing.  To celebrate?  An audio nap.

A What?

As my mom will attest I’ve never been a good napper.

I’m one of those who feels worse after taking one.

Try Another Way

For a time I walked as it cleared the cobwebs.  Unfortunately it also stimulated creativity which somewhat defeated the purpose as I came back and started work on the next bit of chaos.

Which I spent the duration of the walk contemplating.

Music To The Rescue

From the time I was a baby and danced to the Beatles on 8 track on the back seat music has filled my soul in a unique way.

No seatbelts back then.

I grew up dancing in my living room to tunes played on 8 track 45s 33 ½ and 78.

The Beat of Your Soul

I played drums, clarinet, piano then tenor sax.

Letting go when time in tech infringed with playing.  

I had and have the passion of music in my soul – fed through whatever media is available.

We’ve Come a Long Way Baby

Thankfully and thanks to people like Steve Jobs and Neil Young mobile music has improved from the days of the Sony Walkman or mobile CD players that skipped.

The Brain’s Tired

Given how I’ve pushed myself I’m mentally fried.  If I tried having a traditional nap I’d lay staring at the ceiling an adrenal rush keeping me from sleeping as I know I’ll feel worse if I nap.

Audio Nap

They say music soothes the savage beast.  

I know it soothes the overworked soul.

I’ve put together a number of playlists for different moods, different scenarios.

One Scenario.  

My work is a labor of love.  

I sincerely aim to help others.

That drive can be the driver complete with a whip.

Projects

Before I tune into my tunes I’ll share what peeps can look forward to.

  • Podcast Episode Three – Caring for Family Holistically
  • Destination Unknown: Explorations of the Paranormal

An App and companion workbook of tools and strategies to deal with Esoteric EM frequencies.

  • Fix EMF App Update

Dealing with the other 3 GATE EM frequencies.

This app provides tools and strategies for dealing with sensitivity to Geologic Atmospheric and Technologic EM frequencies.

Stay tuned and be well.

Esoteric EMFs – Humans Sensing Earthquakes

emaxLeave a comment

June 1994

Silicon Valley

I’d just moved into my apartment after transferring from Michigan for a job in tech.  I came out of a sound sleep and listened to try to determine what woke me up.  Seconds later the window blinds started bouncing against my window.  Moments later I heard a Pop Pop Pop and seconds after that the building started to shake.  My reacton?  I laughed.

I had a tall glass cabinet I hadn’t yet anchored to the wall.  I hoped I didn’t have to run – barefoot – through shattered glass on my way to the front door.

When I subsequently talked to my brother who’d recently moved back to the Midwest from Los Angeles he explained why I came awake before the shaking started.  

“You heard it.”

He went on to tell me of a time when he was returning from a business trip.  Getting in late and not wanting to disturb his sleeping family he went to sleep on the couch.  At some point he heard a “click.”  Knowing what it meant he leaped off the couch to get to his wife and baby who were asleep on a second level.  By the time he got to the stairs the shaking was so bad he couldn’t go up.

He told me the shaking was so bad the stairs were flat.

As I didn’t recall hearing anything yet knowing earthquake waves are sound waves I accepted the explanation.

Be Quiet!

We’re having an earthquake!

Not long after I was on a customer call in my cube in Santa Clara.  Out of nowhere I blurted – the customer was literally asking me a question “Be quiet!  We’re having an earthquake!”

I Don’t Feel It!

This customer worked in a nearby office.  When he protested he didn’t feel any shaking I snapped “Be quiet!”  Shaking started seconds later.  His response?  “Don’t you hang up on me!”

Colleagues in surrounding cubes dove under desks.  I sat holding the phone to my ear.

There was nothing nearby that might have hit my head.

When the shaking stopped the customer – badly shaken (pun intended) asked “How did you know that?”

I told him I heard it coming.  

Huh?

My explanation didn’t satisfy though two teammates who overheard me understood.

One of them also heard quakes before the shaking started.  He said “Did you notice I turned off my music?”

He used to play CDs in a CD reader on a DECstation.

In 2011 I published Riding the Waves: Diagnosing Treating and Living With EMF Sensitivity. In it I write of my ability to predict earthquakes.

Days before they happen.

I know which fault line will go

Even when USGS isn’t aware of it.

I know the day of the week the time of day within 2 minutes and the magnitude within .1 on the Richter scale.

This ability is due to my sensitivity to Geologic EM frequencies.

The other 3 GATE frequencies I’m sensitive to are Atmospheric, Technologic, and Esoteric.

NEW MATERIAL!

While this technically falls under Geologic the idea we – as humans – can predict earthquakes is esoteric in nature.

Isn’t That Special?

As Church lady would say.

I found it high irony to read an article about how it is so many woke up before the shaking started with a recent quake.  Why high irony?  I’m about to release an app for people whose lives are impacted by Esoteric EMFs.  This phenomenon is covered in the app and accompanying workbook.

It’s fun if not vindicating to see science catching up with nature.  When I published my book?  US scientists and medical professionals were the only in the world to deny EMF Sensitivity was real.

Good thing I ignored them.

I’ll share more on the app soon.

I’ll also be doing an interview about the app with Lloyd Burell of ElectricSense.

Stay tuned.

Metal in the Brain: EMF Life

emaxLeave a comment

It’s been a busy afternoon in EMF land.  I’m about to release an app and Handbook focused on Esoteric EMFs.

  

  • Ghosts
  • Psi
  • Hauntings
  • Sacred Spaces
  • Sensitivity to other People

And how these frequencies interact with and are impacted by

  • Geologic
  • Atmospheric
  • Technologic

EM frequencies.

Filled with tools and strategies that eliminate the negative impact of Esoteric frequencies the app and Handbook will appeal to novice and expert, to skeptic and believer alike.

As I was decompressing with music my mind drifted to one of my favorite human beings in the world.  My high school physics teacher Mr. Robert Parys.  I will never forget the day he learned I had a metal clip in my brain.

Titanium it was put in to stop bleeding from a subdural hematoma the result of falling off a diving board and hitting my chin on it on the way into the pool when I was 10 years of age.

He was – in a word – horrified.

“There’s metal in your brain?!”

As a 16-year-old I wasn’t particularly appreciative of the attention this got me.

I was the only female in the class of about 20.  Everyone turned to me expressions startled and horrified. You know – like I had a disease? 

Can we say “Yay?”

Note:  I had girlfriends who took physics.  They just had classes during a different time period.

To make matters worse – for me – he asked me to stay after class.

You can imagine what it was like to hear male feet shuffling by as they left. The sideways glances.

Oh just yay.

I tried pointing out I needed to get to my next class but he told me he’d write a note.

Joy.

The discussion led to more questions – his – than could be managed so he invited me to stay after school so he could learn more.  I had a job so this wasn’t easy but he was persuasive it would be worth my while.

I liked Mr. Parys.  He had a good sense of humor and related to students in a way that let them know he really cared about them, their dreams, goals, their success in life.

He spent time doing what he could to help students achieve their dreams.

Though I spent time answering his questions about life in the wake of an NDE with a metal clip in my head he is the one who gave the gift. Sharing his insight and access to materials meant I was able to conduct scientific research that helped me feel okay at a time when I didn’t…

I was still limping heavily after being paralyzed and my hair was still growing out after being shaved for emergency brain surgery.  You could still see a pretty big scar on my skull. Not a fun thing for a self-conscious teenage girl.

The groundwork he helped lay has led to the release of this app and Handbook.

Work that will help the world the way he helped his students.

His legacy lives on.

Teachers are amazing people who are often under appreciated.

I’m ever so grateful this one crossed my path.

The world benefits because he was a part of it.

RIP Mr. Parys.
