I hope I don’t offend anyone that subscribes to these theories I am criticizing. I was researching another subject regarding wireless connectivity. Also, Michelle had stepped into the man-cave/office the other day and commented it looking like NASA, and I should glow in the dark.
I stay in my little world of computers and gadgets, Apparently I have not raised my head up in a long time. I knew the world was getting strange, but the degree of audacity, and lack of caring of our fellow man astounds me.
A dozen other generic symptoms
I remember many years ago, seeing a documentary of a gentleman that had moved to the desert into a cave. He wanted to escape Electromagnetic Radiation, being given off by power grids, TV/Radio towers etc. He claimed that the radiation caused all kinds of symptoms affecting his health. His affliction, if you can call it that, over the years has gained momentum beyond imagination. I have learned that several countries (not the US thank goodness) now give disability for the new term, EHS (“electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome”). So now if you itch, have headaches, nausea, blurred vision, bad concentration, memory lapses, rash, tingling, numbness, lack of coordination, no sex drive, frequent urination, and about a dozen other generic symptoms that are repeated in a pharmacy commercial, you might qualify for disability from an affliction that has not had any solid scientific proof.
Market based on fear
I wonder at what point will insurance be forced to pay for items, that the afflicted say works to ease their symptoms. Hey, I never thought it would get this far, but a whole market has grown based on fear. You know, we used to laugh people out of town that sold things that they know don’t work. 20 years ago it was frowned on to take advantage of people’s fears, offering crazy potions to cure everything. Today? Anything is fair game for a dollar.
We men that may develop a concern for electromagnetic fields while blogging, can check out the cute boxers for men. Only $89 a pair! at Amazon (free shipping with Prime). Personally, I’ll take my chances with the EMF. I don’t want to forget and wear silver threaded undies out in a thunderstorm. Also, explaining to the friendly security at the airport, that your briefs are 42% silver.
Or, for ladies and men, the hoodie that blocks what one site says is 99% of negative EMF. Unless of course the radio waves notice your exposed face, hands, or your cell phone in your hand, or you make that call or text, whoops! At $179.99 and free shipping they urge you to order, there were only 17 left at the time of this post.
Imagine showing up to work, or your next office party in this pacemaker protection gear. Yes, they are quite serious. I would love to read the warning label on this one. I hope it recommends mentions not wearing it outside during lightning storms. Seriously, you have to be really scared of your cell phone to don this outfit.
If it lasts more than 4 hours
Or perhaps the “Grounding Strap” comes with a 12-foot cord so you can clip it to your garment. Plug it into a wall socket and use the buildings electrical ground connection to drain away harmful EMF. Sorry, but I have seen what happens to electrical components, and some people when a ground went bad in a building. With that connected to your shorts… It may be one of those “If it lasts more than 4 hours, seek medical attention” moments.
