Anne first studied EMFs as part of her public health teachings (she’s a public health inspector).
But the research she was given access to showed the health effects were not conclusive.
In 2003 she took the Building Biology training.
Through this training she heard more of the case studies and people telling their stories - so she got more interested.
Despite doing EMF mitigation work with clients who were symptomatic she still wasn’t totally convinced that EMFs could affect everybody.
Then she started seeing more and more clients with issues, real issues like not being able to go out, go to the grocery store, to do certain things.
She began to wonder if some of her own chemical intolerance’s were also electrical intolerances.
She didn’t consider herself electrically sensitive but if she went to a place where there were high-powered distribution lines she felt strange and her hair stood up on its ends.
One time out with a group of friends canoeing under some power lines she says, “all of a sudden, I felt terrible. I’m telling my friends,
“okay, let’s paddle fast! We have to get out of here!” And then I did start experiencing problems myself.”
In 2010 she got a new cell phone.
When the phone was receiving a signal or she had it turned on she began to experience symptoms.
She felt tingling in her arms and her fingers would spasm – causing her to drop the phone.
Within a few days of buying the phone she could not longer use it.
“My fingers just would not let me hold
it.”
She returned the phone and immediately went out and bought an older type cell phone.
She says “after that point I was convinced that this affects everybody”.
