This is a very strange phenomenon and until May of 2006 I couldn't put a name to it. It was at that time that I picked up the March 2006 publication of
DAMS, International (
Dental
Amalgam
Mercury
Solutions) called "Dental Truth". On pages 6 and 7 of that publication was an
article by Lisa Nagy, an M.D. sharing how exposure to mold (in her house) and mercury (from amalgams) caused her to develop not only a chemical sensitivity but also an electrical sensitivity. She acknowledges that electrical sensitivity sounds wacky, but if one has ever experienced it they know it is for real. Her hand would heat up from holding a cell phone, her ear would burn from the earpiece. Gadgets that spin (like fans or tape decks) would make her weak. Just picking up a phone would bring on an urge to urinate, sweating and chest discomfort.
Achieving her healing involved getting help from The Environmental Health Center of Dallas and having dental restoration done. Essentially, she had to detox her body from all the effects of exposure to the mold and the mercury.
Although I haven't experienced electrical sensitivity to the degree that Dr. Nagy has, I have experienced some. As I write this I am able to spend a few hours at the computer before my brain begins to stress. (10 years down the Road to Recovery)
Also, a cell phone earpiece gets hot up against my ear and I have my limit on how much television I can watch. I discovered several years ago that static electricity would cause insomnia. Each time I vacuumed the carpet I would loose sleep. I am now able to vacuum without it affecting my sleep, but I still spray a fine mist of water on the carpet after I have vacuumed to eliminate the static electricity.
