EMF MCS

EMF MCS Natural Living

A ‘Table of Contents’ page

This website is focused on providing education and encouragement.

Most of what is on this website relates to teachers and parents, such as homeschool families.

But there is also this section of our website for a wider audience, which aims to provide educational insights for a couple of growing environmental and societal concerns:

These are the impacts of cell phone radiation (and other electromagnetic frequency issues) and of toxins in consumer products.

About EMF MCS

EMF and MCS are acronyms for electromagnetic frequencies (sensitivities) and multi-chemical sensitivities. ES is the shorter acronym which means both EMF and MCS together – environmental sensitivities. (I don’t always use acronyms but sometimes I do.)

We take the view that these kinds of things, at the levels they are widely used, are types of pollutants.

Many people can tolerate pollution and so can be around it without much or any noticeable problem (yet).

Some people though, have experienced over-exposures (like myself) and as a result, now live with sensitivities.

The same can happen (and is happening) to more people, causing suffering, much of which could be prevented, by making wiser choices.

The Purpose of this Blog Section

The gathering of information, summarizing, and links also include some personal experiences. Our EMF MCS blog section provides information and summaries as well as encouragement for other people who suffer with these kinds of environmental sensitivities and for those who care!

THIS PAGE AND THIS SECTION OF OUR BLOG ARE “UNDER CONSTRUCTION”

TO MAKE IT EASIER AND QUICKER TO FIND HONEST AND HELPFUL INFORMATION.

The “Table of Contents” is displayed as graphic buttons of posts which I particularly think are relevant to people who want to read things related to EMF MCS and living with hope and joy despite frequent challenges.

  • These buttons (and others to be added) will be linked to the posts as I finish the posts. If they are linked, then they are “up”. 😀
  • Conversely, if a graphic isn’t linked yet when you click on it, that means that I’m working on getting it up so please check back in a few days or weeks or months.
  • Thank-you for your patience!

New Resource (April 2026)!

This is a unit study designed for science teachers (including homeschooling parents and classroom teachers) or anyone else who wants to learn about the science of natural and manmade emfs. You can see the upper-level content on the blog post called, “What are EMFs?” but the printable book version has a nicer layout. (Also, the printable book version was expanded to include more pages especially for lower-level students and parents.) This downloadable resource is currently available for FREE in our shop here.

A general overview of who I am
and what I do.

Q: What is being worked on?

A: Pages which will provide easy-to-access-concise-and/or-detailed-information on specific topics relating to living with MCS and EMF sensitivities.

Yes, some posts will be long in length to cover the topic sufficiently enough on a page or are in a series of posts. But they hopefully will provide the information in a well-outlined manner.

Accessibility

Some people (e.g. staff, workers, caregivers) also want quick information because they do not have much time to sort through the overwhelming mixture of explanations and ideas for solutions that is online these days. So, I want those posts relatively to-the-point for them too – with headings within posts and/or a table of contents. If you want a general gist of “where” to find “what” sub-topic, the pages called “Short Information…” (coming soon hopefully) will list those topics according to the post/page title – like an overview for you.

I will try to make the posts as accessible and refreshing to read as I can!

I realize that many people are trying to get their information or encouragement from wireless devices while feeling an honest limitation in how long they can spend online. (If you want to wire yours instead so that the internet isn’t as painful to browse, please see my post here.) I know that people who are affected by emfs are often very tired and not sleeping well. And some, like myself, also get pain and/or low-vision from screens and can’t read much at a time. (Eventually, we may try to provide more audio content or printable content. There is some at least now.)

Resources

I personally know what it is like to recover and to manage life well with EMF MCS, and without buying gimmicks or specialized treatments to do so*. This is mainly why I used the term “natural living” in this blog section – living with EMF MCS isn’t about finding or buying a “cure”.

In the natural world, it would not even exist.

But in a manufactured environment, it does. To reduce injuries when I’m in such an environment, yes, I use shielded clothing.

But making choices for a more ‘natural lifestyle’ is generally how situations can be managed quite well.

Are there any key documents for EMF sensitivities, recommended for people who want technical information in general?

Yes! I sometimes mention various ones within my posts. But if you’re needing something technical for health care providers or people who question that EMF is really something that damages living cells, here are a couple of key documents to look at:

  1. “A comprehensive mechanism of biological and health effects of anthropogenic extremely low frequency and wireless communication electromagnetic fields” by Dimitris J. Panagopoulos et al., June 2025. (This one is the most-recently published one that I find very interesting! It explains how ELFs (which are frequencies also involved with manmade electricity) has a significant role for the RF-EMF damage seen in cells. It discusses the oxidative stress of the body and explains the so-called “non-thermal” affects of emfs. This document connects or confirms/proves a lot of dots for things some of us were already guessing.)
  2. EUROPAEM EMF Guideline 2016 for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of EMF-related health problems and illnesses – PubMed (This one has been used in hospital-related care. On that page, find the “full article” button to read the numerous pages. A lot of it is good and practical – to avoid the problem where possible and to support general good health and recovery from such injuries.)

Products or Services or Basic Tips?

*We do not sell any emf-mcs-related products or services. (I do sometimes write about this topic within educational resources since part of my role is being an author – but that is not the same kind of item as wires, cloth, herbs, etc.) I may sometimes link to products or information and link to those places with non-affiliate links. For more info about this, please see our page: Weblinks for Environmental-related Products or Information.

The basic solution and even the testing aspect to see if EMFs are causing an issue for you, is free or inexpensive to do!

And it doesn’t take a lot of time on a waiting list either! It’s called “turn off” things emitting RF and/or sleep somewhere (e.g. camping under trees in a backyard or basement) where there isn’t much or any RF for a night or so to see the difference that can make. Then turn off what you can control so that you can sleep and learn more about what you can turn off or avoid.

In other words, don’t start trying to buy various “stuff” or “programs” that are marketed to you, places that say things like, “Keep using wireless like normal but buy this item/supplement/training to solve your symptoms.” Just don’t go that way. Stay away from slick marketing that sounds scientific but likely is partly or fully deceptive.

“What else can I do?”

  1. If you can, consider purchasing or borrowing an RF meter to measure how much wireless radiation you yourself are regularly getting day-to-day. That can be a helpful thing to invest in! A meter that measures several kinds of emfs can be OK but a meter that only measures RF, can be easier to use and tends to be known for better accuracy. I use an Acoustimeter but a Safe and Sound Pro II is similar. (I do not sell emf-related tools.) If you are concerned about sensitivities to household electricity, you might want to purchase a body voltage meter and perhaps a gaussmeter. Or, a certified building biologist might be able to measure your environment for you with his/her tools. An explanation of measuring emfs, is on our blog here.
  2. For RFs, it can be practical to use metallic fabrics in some situations. For electrical issues, aim to get those fixed. (The idea to manage any environmental sensitivity is to improve the environment and the rest of the situation will likely improve.)
  3. Support the direction towards general good health by doing simple things such as –
  • eating good nutrition from all food groups and water
  • exercising in fresh air reasonable amounts but not straining yourself
  • getting as good of sleep as you can
  • avoiding unnecessary medication (but continuing to listen to good medical professional who knows your situation; avoid recreational drugs, getting help for that if you’ve been using them)
  • learning about things that are true

About TRUTH –

It is important for us to understand what is real truth.

Real truth will be supported by real science. Only what is based on real truth will ever actually work to benefit people in the long-term.

False ideas lead down wrong paths which might look great for a time, but in the end, leads to harm – physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

The God of truth (the One Who created the heavens and the earth and all living things) will never be the source behind deceptive techniques or solutions! All of His work is only done in truth! Psalm 33:4.

God cares. Call out to Him.

Find people who personally care about you too.

There truly is HOPE amidst these troubles!!


Questions?

I do welcome questions via e-mail if there is something that isn’t answered and you wonder about or if something needs to be clarified. Please understand that I truly can’t answer everything and that I might not even reply back to you personally about this topic. But it helps me to know about what to blog about sometimes so perhaps I’ll answer your question in an upcoming blog someday.
