EPISODE 73
Electronic Pollution and Thyroid Health with Lloyd Burrell Part 1
All living things are electromagnetic. That means electromagnetic fields (EMFs) affect everybody, even if you don’t feel them.
At a fundamental level, our cells communicate via electrical charges, which can be disturbed by manmade EMFs, a significant proportion of which are from cell phones. The fact is that cell phones have become an integral part of our world, and they’re here to stay. What we as users need to do is first recognize how big of problem EMFs pose and then figure out the best ways to use this technology safely.
Today I’m joined by author and leader in the field of EMF protection, Lloyd Burrell. Lloyd is the creator of the EMF Health Summit and the Healing with Vibration Summit, the bestselling author of the books Healing with Vibration and EMF Practical Guide, and the founder of ElectricSense.com, which has had over 4 million visits since its inception in 2009.
In 2002, Lloyd had a bad reaction while using his cell phone and what started as an unpleasant feeling soon became an unbearable sensation. Within a few short days, it was too painful to use his cell phone, and he started reacting to all his household electronics. In the end, it took ten years for him to get his health back on track. Now Lloyd is on a mission to educate people about the dangers of manmade electromagnetic fields and share solutions to help them reconnect with the healing forces of nature.
I’ve been following Lloyd for quite some time, and I was very excited to have the opportunity to chat with him. It was such a rich conversation that we went longer than anticipated, so I’m splitting it into two parts. Remember to tune in for Part 2 on Tuesday, January 3, 2023!
In part one of our conversation, Lloyd and I discuss what EMFs are, how they affect the body, the science behind the dangers of EMFs, common symptoms and conditions linked to EMF exposure, sources of EMF radiation, why we should be concerned about 5G, Lloyd’s tips for cell phone use, and more. Enjoy the episode!
