Dear Karen: Your story is very interesting — “quite a ride!”

I am curious as to whether or not through your “journey of healing”, whether you slept close to any electric appliances, telephone equipment such as cordless phone, answering machine and/or any item with a speaker (magnet)?

And/or,prolonged exposure to electronics held close to your head or body for extended periods of time during the day?

Your answers may go a long way toward my work to help others prevent numerous health problems. I am EMF/EMR researcher/activist (non-accredited) working hard to “save children” (of all ages) from “preventable health problems.” All my work is as “volunteer.”

Best wishes and take care – Joanne

Dear Joane,

Interesting questions! Thank you for asking! As a child I lived in an apartment that had one central heating fireplace that was built of brick and forced warm air out through a vent. At times I slept on the floor next to it to keep warm. The bedrooms of this old apartment were always cold. I used the fire stove to dry my hair and keep warm.

Our family had one wall-mounted phone off the kitchen, within ten feet of my bedroom. I don’t recall ever having a cordless phone during my childhood. Were they even invented? That would be between the years 1959-1973. As far as magnets go, I don’t believe so. But I always had a problem setting off alarms, hospital testing equipment, and light bulbs. It may be a coincidence, but whenever I suffered a headache, things happened. I became a family joke that continues today. Recently my brother wouldn’t allow me near a control panel in fear that something would malfunction. Funny? Not so much. In my family I get blamed for all electrical problems, including computers and streetlights. It seems I have always fallen into the range of the “unexplained.”

I continue to be puzzled by my ability to interfere with electrical appliances. I am beginning to get a complex. There must be an explanation. What seems funny at times can become a bit of an annoyance. There are people in my life who believe I harbor too much “electricity.”  I suppose I have a shocking personality!

Thank you for your challenging questions. Love to hear more about your work. Please keep in touch!
