What we do

EPIC is a volunteer-based not-for-profit.

  • We modernize public awareness about everyday “electrosmog” and how to prevent it.
  • Conscious choices reduce emissions, firsthand and secondhand exposures, and related injuries, illnesses, and environmental harms.
  • We promote e-Hygiene, PracticeSafeTech, education, and kindness in creation of healthier indoor and outdoor environments.
  • And we connect persons affected by electrosmog to various resources.

Electromagnetic Pollution

Topics include pollution sources, reducing your electromagnetic footprint, e-hygiene, and more. Help people you care about understand this. Share with your favourite people-friendly and environmentally-minded organizations, to raise their awareness about this significant air quality issue.

COMMON SYMPTOMS

Detailed information to aid doctors and other healthcare professionals in their clinical practices. Includes 308 references.

An article posted by the Ontario College of Family Physicians: “Radio and Microwave Impacts on Human Health: The Role of the Family Physician.”

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS may want to see the textbook: Integrative Environmental Medicine published in 2017 by Oxford University Press Chapter 10 is “Microwave/Radiofrequency Radiation and Human Health: Clinical Management in the Digital Age” and there are three Canadians among the co-authors, plus it includes a References list of 119 scientific publications.

The Electrosensitive Society helps people who have electro-hyper-sensitivity (EHS) find medical specialists who are familiar with EHS, find remediation specialists who can help reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF), and find and/or create low-EMF zones where they can comfortably live, work, and better enjoy life. The Electrosensitive Society also provides email and phone consultation. [EHS is also known as EMS, electromagnetic sensitivity, electrosensitivity, microwave illness, electrical sensitivity.]

News

[For more news, visit us on TWITTER @iexistworld — you don’t need a Twitter account to see the posts.]

Now, at no charge, anyone can view all the videos associated with the “EMF Medical Conference 2021” — a joint offering by the Electromagnetic Safety Alliance and Advancing Knowledge in Healthcare, convened online in January 2021 with a pre-lecture on EMF basics in October 2020, attended by more than 800 people in more than 30 nations. In these videos, you “learn from the top leaders in EMF science, medicine and protection.” The Conference courses were designed for healthcare professionals by healthcare professionals, researchers, and other experts; the information and resources are still very relevant today. The Conference “was approved for 24.5 Continuing Medical Education/CE credits for licensed health practitioners —  MDs, NDs, DOs, PAs, NPs, and Nurses.” (Credits are no longer available.)

  • ESTIMATED 3 to 15 PERCENT OF CANADIANS suffer illness due to electromagnetic pollution. Using the lowest estimate that’s 1,100,000 Canadians.
  • MORE THAN 91 PERCENT OF CANADIANS ARE LIKELY CHRONICALLY OVER-EXPOSED TO ELECTROMAGNETIC POLLUTION

CANADIANS SAY …

Canadians have a lot to show and tell about electromagnetic pollution illnesses and firsthand and secondhand exposures to electromagnetic pollution.

Kingston Frontenac Public Library uses this sign.

At home we have hardwired our 5 computers, replaced cordless phones with the corded version, removed the microwave to reduce temptations to use this convenient oven, and purchased a router that has an on/off switch for the Wi-Fi transmitter. Family members are learning to use apps that don’t require wireless connections. The kids have turned Wi-Fi and bluetooth off on their iPod Touch. We have disabled the wireless connection to our Wi-Fi printer, replaced wireless headphones with wired headphones and a 25 foot cord. We got rid of our wireless keyboard and mouse, turned off the wireless on all computers, got rid of my cell phone. Within a week we made many of these changes. This summer we hope to conceal the wiring and find convenient technologies for our children to connect with their friends immediately using safer, wired connections. We now purchase child-friendly products with wired connections (my daughter’s Sony computer with a RJ45 wired network port).

Here is the sign on the outside of our front door. ~ Cary in Toronto

One evening, weeks after we turned off the Wi-Fi in our house, my husband called me from out-of-town. I picked up the phone and felt excruciating head pains. Agitated, I told him my head pain was unbearable and I had to cut our call short and leave the house immediately. He said “Wait! Where are you?” I told him I was in the den. He asked me to tell him the colours of the lights on the box on top of the computer. It was 3 green lights and 1 blue light. He told me to press a specific button. My razor-sharp pain went away immediately! I asked him what I had just [pressed]. He told me it was the router Wi-Fi transmitter. He had purchased a router that has a button to easily turn the Wi-Fi on and off. He showed the kids how to enable it to download to their iPods then turn it off again. I found out that they forgot to turn it off again before I got home. I walked into this situation blind, not aware that Wi-Fi was in use until the head pain began. When I am feeling overloaded I ask strangers to save my spot in line so I can put some distance between me and their wireless device. Most people are courteous.

Environmental electrosmog saturation levels need to be regulated and measured by municipal governments.

Thousands with Electrohypersensitivity, search desperately for any tiny corner of this rapidly shrinking world that isn’t saturated, or scheduled to be saturated, with radio/microwaves. Many people keep moving and try to physically protect themselves with shielding materials.
