EMFs

The following are fantastic sources that describe the dangers of EMF, as well as methods of reducing our exposure to it

This site has online webinars that cover EMF in depth: https://myemfwebinar.com/

It does require registration, but it’s free, and you’ll get access to a ton of resources. I know you’ll enjoy the reading, as I did. It is both fascinating and shocking. You will:

Learn why you need to make sure you never live in a home with a smart meter
Learn why EMFs disrupt our bodies so much in the first place
Meet an expert on Qi EMF busting technologies
I also recommend this book: “The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs, or How to Fix Our Stupid Use of Technology” by Nicolas Pineault. I know it may feel like a lot to swallow for a new subject. Don’t get discouraged. Take your time and read slowly through it all. It’s worth it. Happy EMF fasting.
