Getting the correct minerals is not enough to mitigate EMF sensitivity. Vitamin E is the lipid vitamin that protects the cell membrane from being leaky. Good food sources for tocotrienols are annatto seeds and Red Palm oil. Good sources for naturally balanced minerals are sea vegetables, like, irish sea moss, bladderwrack and many others. Sea minerals from sea vegetables seem to have the mineral balance that is optimal for humans. Dairy is the wrong balance for anyone other than a growing baby. Bladderwrack, or fucus vesiculosis, is in the homeopathic materia medica for being the ideal source of potassium iodide and iodine, along with all the other minerals it contains. Sea moss is condrus crispus, or carageenan and also has numerous health benefits.
I am a student of Homeopathy, as well as using it for myself. I was a long time consumer of raw, pastured dairy products and a supporter of the Weston Price Foundation. But, I became severely EMF sensitive during the shut down in 2020 and it has been a long journey back to health and resilience. Dairy has not been a friend, and it took me 2 plus years to figure that out. I took several "Lac" (milk) Remedies, plus Magnesia Muriaticum and Magnesia Carbonicum, both with descriptions in the Materia Medica of "ill effects from dairy". But I kept consuming dairy, thinking it was giving me the minerals and nutrition I needed. I then took "Lac Maternum", which is a remedy made from human mother's milk from several women at different stages of nursing. At first, it made me feel good, but then it didn't and I had an aha moment of, This isn't what I'm supposed to be eating. Milk is for babies. I know that milk has consumed by many cultures for thousands of years, but there is a known Goiter belt in Europe and it was in the mountainous regions where dairy was a large part of the culture. So, that tells me that it isn't the perfect food. On the other hand, cultures eating a lot of sea vegetables have much better health profiles all around. And studies of the components of different sea vegetables have proved this. More importantly, I have the Homeopathic Materia Medica, which has the symptom picture and medical doctors' of the time's experience in using fucus vesiculosis to cure goiter and other ailments. Here is the materia medica for Kali Iodatum, potassium iodide, it is clearly a poison, and it is added to table salt and hailed as a cure, https://www.materiamedica.info/en/materia-medica/john-henry-clarke/kali-iodatum
It seems even raw dairy was giving you issues, am I correct?
"On the other hand, cultures eating a lot of sea vegetables have much better health profiles all around. And studies of the components of different sea vegetables have proved this."
How does this prove that sea vegetables have "naturally balanced minerals" profile just because more people who eat them have much better health profiles?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Well said! Heavy metals displace the trace minerals in the enzymes that drive our biochemistry. You are right on target! I've been doing toxic heavy metal detox since 1989. I know it well. In addition, everyone should make sure they have adequate melanin in their body, which is created during exposure to natural sunlight. Melanin detoxes heavy metals in conjunction with distancing ourselves from technology.
And it's not just being exposed to cell phones and tech gear that brings out the symptoms of heavy metal toxicity. It also being exposed to AC/ DC electricity in buildings, cars, and ground; the electrical Grid. And wireless RF (radio frequency) radiation in the air.
My dietary sources of additional calcium are plain organic yogurt and ground organic egg shells. I absorb magnesium and sulfur by taking Epson salt baths (1-2 c per bath) a few times a week. I remove fluoride by adding a hand full of Borax to the bath water. Amounts are approximate. Kimchi, cilantro, chlorella, and spirulina all help too. Eat only organic whole foods. I primarily eat meat and ocean fish and small portions of low oxalate plants.
Minerals Professor, I updated the above comment to answer your question. Initially though, I replaced all my mercury amalgam fillings and detoxed mercury and other heavy metals with a series of IV vitamin-C chelations monitored by 24 hr urine tests. That work was performed by a biological dentist who took all the precautions. Reference: "It's All in Your Head" by Dr. Hal Huggins. IV chelation was done once. Since then, I've used homeopathic remedies, diet, sweat therapy, and energy therapies. Dr. Bill McGraw is a good resource. Find him at https://www.drbillmcgraw.com/
Yes, I've monitored minerals with HTMA tests for myself and my animals. HTMA = hair tissue mineral analysis test, which can be used to quantify toxic and trace minerals in a hair sample. Naturopathic physicians (NDs) are a good resource for consultation.
I'm laughing as this article described me perfectly: Very aware of VGCCs. Avoided calcium. Taking magnesium. And not thriving. Looks like I need to take a deeper look into this topic.
Very interesting! During the plandemic I sickened myself by supplementing with D3/K2, 5,000u a day. I became hypercalcemic with severe cramping, heart palpitations, anxiety, fatigue, eye twitches, etc. I didn't figure it out until I listened to a podcast with Jim Stephenson on the dangers of Vitamin D supplementation. I discovered RCP, began taking Magnesium, boron, eating high potassium foods and on my own discovered Natto. And of course lots of sunbathing. At 63, I feel healthier than I ever have in my adult life. You say I should probably be taking calcium with the magnesium. RCP says that one can get enough calcium from an ancestral diet. I did do a hair analysis a few years ago that showed high aluminum, iron, manganese and potassium. I am pretty sure the aluminum is from our towns water system, chemtrails, etc. The high potassium is from the D supplementation. I take diatomaceous earth as recommended by RCP to eliminate aluminum from my system. I guess it's time for another hair analysis to see if anything has changed. I dont consider myself particularly EMF sensitive except that I can feel when I do an "airdrop". What do you think is the ratio of magnesium to calcium that one should supplement with? Say, if I take 400 mg. of Magnesium malate, should I be taking 400 mg. of calcium? Also, my well water is super hard with equal parts magnesium & calcium. We drink spring water from a nearby spring but do use the well water for cooking & bathing.
You said this: "I became hypercalcemic with severe cramping, heart palpitations, anxiety, fatigue, eye twitches, etc"
Hypercalcemia being high serum calcium level, correct?
"RCP says that one can get enough calcium from an ancestral diet"
We also have the largest exposure to calcium antagonists in the form of lead, barium, mercury, cadmium, aluminium, strontium in the modern world today.
We also have a serious epidemic of soft tissue calcification health problems which come from a lack of available calcium, which creates a vicious cycle of calcium being pulled from the bones to maintain a normal serum calcium level.
I am aware who RCP are but I think they lack the fundamentals that govern the whole mineral-vitamin-hormonal-glandular web.
"I did do a hair analysis a few years ago that showed high aluminum, iron, manganese and potassium. I am pretty sure the aluminum is from our towns water system, chemtrails, etc."
Having an elevated aluminium, manganese & iron levels do point to inflammation in the body. Did RCP tell you those 3 tend to travel up & down together?
"The high potassium is from the D supplementation"
Did RCP practitioner really tell you that?
"I guess it's time for another hair analysis to see if anything has changed."
What was your motivation for getting a HTMA a few years ago if I may ask?
"What do you think is the ratio of magnesium to calcium that one should supplement with?"
An ideal supplement ratio of calcium & magnesium needs to 5:3 to prevent excesses of each other.
"Also, my well water is super hard with equal parts magnesium & calcium. We drink spring water from a nearby spring but do use the well water for cooking & bathing."
Could you be open to the possibility that the reason for those high iron, manganese & aluminium levels on a HTMA can be due to your use of well water especially if the well water isn't filtered?
"Hypercalcemia being high serum calcium level, correct?" Yes.
"Having an elevated aluminium, manganese & iron levels do point to inflammation in the body. Did RCP tell you those 3 tend to travel up & down together?" I read that synthetic vitamin D can cause the kidneys to "waste" potassium. I was not aware that those three minerals go up and down together. Although there is iron and manganese in our well water, it is in the "reference range" and not super high like the calcium and magnesium.
"What was your motivation for getting a HTMA a few years ago if I may ask?" I got the hair analysis & also bloodwork done for a consultation with an RCP consultant who interpreted them for me and said that I should do blood donations & take diatomaceous earth to help eliminate the aluminum from my system. They seemed to think that was my biggest problem. My calcium, sodium & magnesium levels were all in a normal range and I didn't have any heavy metal (murcury / lead / arsenic) show up as a concern in the testing. I will definitely consider a water filtration system. Not sure what is the best to use though.
Yeah, just because the iron & manganese levels are in the "reference range" for well water doesn't make it optimal & doesn't indicate how your body retains and excretes these nutrients/metals in the body (and find its way to the hair tissue)
After doing blood donations and taking diatomaceous earth, have you done a retest and assessed your aluminium levels?
Did the RCP specialist assessed the mercury, lead & arsenic levels, what did RCP specialist interpret that as?
They didn't seem concerned about the heavy metals. Overall, they said I looked well nourished compared to a lot of test results they see. With regard to the heavy metals, I guess one interpretation would be that my body isn't detoxing these heavy metals and they are still a problem? How do you assess your heavy metal load other than hair analysis? I am getting ready to do another round of bloodwork & hair analysis - it has been two years since the last. It will be interesting to see if the aluminum & iron have gone down at all. I didn't like giving blood - it made me feel very depleted.
Heavy metals can be tricky to assess. Sometimes on a program like mine, you could be detoxing and the urine offers a safe passage so may not deposit in the hair tissue. I'd say longer term trends would be HTMA. Acute trends, some form of urinanalysis, whether it is a Total Tox test or just a standard test for heavy metals.
'You "might" need more calcium'. When we know better we do better - and, as you say, no two people are alike. As someone who struggled with chronic fatigue for decades - and spent a small fortune on HTMA (starting in 2005 after decades of untreated or mistreated symptoms) to try and find the 'root' cause - there might be a half truth in taking more calcium. BUT all manner of things can contribute to a type 4 slow metabolism and, if you ignore (or don't know), the primary cause because it has been hidden from view, well ... . Have you read Van Der Kalk's (2014) 'The Body Keeps the Score'? Because the powers that shouldn't be almost certainly have - and they have no intention of ever allowing the research which would show the links (and/or the cure) - because, as well as Disaster Capitalism being a very lucrative money earner, so too is Trauma Capitalism. And, if you can keep people traumatised (and retraumatised) you can make big bikkies - and besides, most of the victims are women - and who cares about them, or their children?
Hi Josh, I've been away on vacation this week - sorry for not engaging on the comments thus far . I look forward to digging in when I get back next week. Great job!
Respectfully, I believe the term is "Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) Syndrome". Everyone is EMF sensitive - EMF affects plant growth, so there is no doubt it affects humans. Of course not all humans have the same side effects. There is also research indicating those affected by EMR Syndrome are also chemically sensitive. The side of effects of EMR Syndrome are also very similar to mold toxicity, so the people I work with I advise to get checked for that also. Indeed, mold is exacerbated by EMF and with half of buildings having mold and a large segment of the population lacking the genetic makeup to detoxify well, I say mold is the real pandemic that people are facing and do not know - it can cause just about every health problem you can think of from Alzheimer's to ALS to cancer to hormone imbalance to hallucinations to irritable bowel disease - much like EMR Syndrome, the symptoms of mold toxicity are varied and multiple.
Mast Cell Syndrome is also common with EMR Syndrome. The microbiome also seems implicated.
I'm not a doctor either, but I am a Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist Candidate and an attorney who works with those suffering from EMR Syndrome. As someone who has suffered mold illness myself, I am very aware of environmental health issues.
Hi Jennifer. I'd like to ask: what's the distinct difference between "EMF Sensitive" & "Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) Syndrome"? I always want to try & use the most appropriate terminology.
You've made a good point about mold toxicity & the EMR syndrome. Both combined can amplify the effects on illness. There is plenty of overlap on how those 2 can affect the whole mineral-vitamin-hormonal-glandular web that governs our health. Maybe a theme for a future article.
We are all EMF sensitive - we just may not have apparent symptoms - EMR Syndrome is the term for someone whose symptoms are readily apparent based on what I know. If I can ever be of any help, let me know - I know what more than I would like about mold! Be well and keep up the great work! Best, Jennifer
The thyroid and parathyroid controls calcium levels in the blood. Boron is to the parathyroid as iodine/potassium iodide is to the thyroid. They act as a thermometer to maintain a balance of calcium in the blood/bones. Since over 90% of us are iodine/iodide deficient, it may be beneficial to repair the thyroid first.
Yes. Every women I know is having thyroid issues, from in their 20’s to 80’s. Most don’t know it and it is their normal. The thyroid converts T4 to T3 for the metabolism of the entire body. The thyroid uptake is mainly potassium iodide. But the body needs iodine for the immune system also. If there is an imbalance of thyroid and parathyroid it is a disaster. (Dr David Brownstein, Dr Jorge Flechas and Lynne Farrow book The Iodine Crisis).
Ah, by asking the question you know. I am not a medical professional. But my understanding is the thyroid converts potassium iodide T4 to T3 through an oxidation process using TPO and H2O2. Then there is an organification process. There is also T1 and T2. To answer your question it may be Idolactone which promotes cell apoptosis. If a doctor puts someone on Synthroid or desecrated thyroid hormone it can make the person worse since it doesn't solve the iodine deficiency.
That's fine. Hoping you'd quickly reach for that answer.
I talk about this at length on one of the linked articles on this guest post on the subsection: "A Crash Course on Calcium" on Demystifying Calcium Phobia.
Good stuff! I read an article from the Epoch Times awhile years ago or so ago & it suggested that vertebral bone spurs are caused from a lack of calcium. I had a laminectomy in December & have been trying to increase my calcium, k(1,4,7), magnesium (glycinate) currently & d(cod liver oil). I’m taking grass fed bone marrow(whole bone extract). The CT scan revealed I have a kidney stone too, (great.) So, in light of my situation(post menopausal) I concur with your theory of the case. Thanks
I hope you get better soon. For heel spurs and other foot issues I use DMSO topically. It will not cure, but reduces inflammation and pain. Check out A Midwestern Doctor Substack on DMSO and DMSO Hature's Healer by Dr Morton Walker.

Hi Tami. Appreciate the comment.
A number of things I'll say here that deserves an expansion of your thought process.
1. What is your criteria for foods that have "naturally balanced minerals"?
2. What makes dairy products the wrong balance of nutrients other than a growing baby?
I am a student of Homeopathy, as well as using it for myself. I was a long time consumer of raw, pastured dairy products and a supporter of the Weston Price Foundation. But, I became severely EMF sensitive during the shut down in 2020 and it has been a long journey back to health and resilience.

Pulling mercury fillings is a serious undertaking. Congratulations for taking that initiative.
A question worth asking: is mercury from amalgams the only heavy metal source you've tackled? There are at least 2-3 dozen of them.
Apart from a urine test, have you monitored your detoxification capabilities overtime?
Yes, I've monitored minerals with HTMA tests for myself and my animals. HTMA = hair tissue mineral analysis test, which can be used to quantify toxic and trace minerals in a hair sample. Naturopathic physicians (NDs) are a good resource for consultation.
I see. What changes have occurred in your HTMAs over the years?
It sounds like you have read Arthur Firstenberg! Stay well!
A lot of my knowledge about EMF Radiation is likely coming from Arthur Firstenburg indirectly. I haven't directly read his work though.
Thank you so much!
What a wonderful article.
You did some serious hard work to create this article, lots of research, and I hope that readers can appreciate this.
Yeah I appreciate that you found value in this topic of EMFs, VGCCs, calcium, magnesium, heavy metals etc.
I'm laughing as this article described me perfectly: Very aware of VGCCs. Avoided calcium. Taking magnesium. And not thriving. Looks like I need to take a deeper look into this topic.
Glad it made you reflect and call for deeper search.

It seems to me that you perceive that there's an order to the correction of the entire body, am I correct?
Yes. Every women I know is having thyroid issues, from in their 20’s to 80’s. Most don’t know it and it is their normal. The thyroid converts T4 to T3 for the metabolism of the entire body.

Cool. I agree that an increasing number of women have thyroid issues.
The thyroid makes T4 & T3 but it also makes another hormone. What do you think that hormone is?
Ah, by asking the question you know. I am not a medical professional. But my understanding is the thyroid converts potassium iodide T4 to T3 through an oxidation process using TPO and H2O2.

I hope you get better soon. For heel spurs and other foot issues I use DMSO topically. It will not cure, but reduces inflammation and pain. Check out A Midwestern Doctor Substack on DMSO and DMSO Hature's Healer by Dr Morton Walker.
Love a MWD! I use dmso daily. Thanks for the advice.
