I used to wonder why my microwave-shielding fabric was helpful, but not all the time. Now I believe, in those times it didn't help, that it was b/c my dominant problem wasn't actually microwaves, but electric fields. Then, when I tried to escape electric fields, I moved to locations with intermediate frequencies (e.g. kHz and low MHz). Thus, I felt worse.
To get REAL relief, you pretty much have to consider all types of EMF together, and in the process also avoid solutions that have chemicals (e.g., toxic wood finishing, flame retardants in mattresses, PVC outgassing, lead, etc.). Even if you're not sensitive to chemicals, think of it as "not yet". I believe we are all to some extent vulnerable.
After seeing how many forms of EMF I was exposed to, now I have a better understanding how even others who were exposed to the same cell tower radiation that I was, fared much better. I'm guessing most of us became ES due to not just one type of EMF but multiple types of EMF, and perhaps in connection with other prior chemical toxicities (e.g., amalgams). Some of us may have been more exposed to one form than another, and thus became more sensitized to one form than another. However, in the end, I think we should be cautious for all forms of EMF and consider also chemicals as well
I know some have griped about how MCS treatments ignore ES considerations. Likewise, ES treatments should take into account chemicals as well. We need something all comprehensive.
