It was the first week of Chiropractic School when he was first taught that all dis-ease in the body was caused from from toxins, trauma and thought. Our exposure to chemicals and pathogens (environmental toxins) the past twenty years has increased at an exponential rate which corresponds with the advent and proliferation of wireless technology (technology toxins). There is a great need to educate on the global health issues associated with the use of EMFs and the stress caused from these Environmental and Technological Toxins (ETT). Millions are suffering from a myriad of symptoms: neurological, neuropsychiatric (anxiety and depression), sleep, eyes, ears, heart, skin, and immune issues.
For the past two years a collaborative effort to research diagnostics and strategies to mitigate these symptoms has been underway with the EMF Sensitivity Project, led by Dr. Russell John Kort. This is a personal issue for him, As he has suffered from tinnitus, headaches, sleep issues, unexplained irritability, and pain when using his technology for nearly two decades. Dr. Kort has Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) and at times, becomes functionally impaired when exposed to EMFs (uv-blue light and wireless technology), especially when traveling via car and on airplanes. Even though he suffers from EHS, he has developed protocols that has helped his brain become resilient to the stress caused from the environmental and technological toxins.
