    I was working on a street repair crew, filling potholes in a residential neighborhood when my coworkers moved quickly away from the area we were filling. I turned around and saw an elderly woman with a floral hat on her head. Just like she was going to church or a Sunday tea. I thought my coworkers were rude and odd for moving away so quickly. I decided to say hello to the woman and be pleasant. What a mistake! This woman started screaming and crying at me saying the government was transmitting radio messages into her head and I was there to kidnap her for the government. As she kept yelling at me she took off her hat to reveal a aluminum foil hat. She told me the metal wasn’t working anymore. And I was there to finally pick her up and deliver her to the CIA. I backed up and moved away from the woman and then ripped my coworkers new posteriors for leaving me there. They knew all about her and thought it was a great prank.

      She's probably aware she's got a problem that seriously interferes with having the normal life she wants to live, And thinks she has found out the cause and solution. It's unlikely, but, if a better (in her mind) solution comes around she might find a way to the new one - provided it's not a physical thing like brain injury or some sort of chemical imbalance. Poor soul.

There are a LOT of street people like that lady; I had a little old lady tell me that God was mad that we put our pipes and plumbing in Antarctica because it's clearly off-limits to human activity by divine decree, and that we should be awaiting His holy wrath. It's sad there's no real safety net for these people; the tent cities out here have tripled, at least, since the pandemic began. With relatively mentally healthy poor people being ignored wholesale now the situation seems even more hopeless for those that literally cannot help themselves.

    I get auditory hallucinations. When I lived in an apartment, I just figured it was my neighbor playing music slightly too loud. After moving to a house, I realized it was all in my head, so I now counter it by sleeping with my own music running. I've spoken with my therapist about the whole thing, and he agrees that it is fairly common, nothing to worry about unless getting 'distressing messages'.

    If you're hearing voices, step one would be to check the batteries in your carbon monoxide detector. If you're still hearing voices, a psychiatrist is your next step. I'm bipolar & had a psychotic breakdown a few years ago. Heard voices, saw things that weren't there, thought Adele was sending secret messages through her songs (I'm into metal & hiphop, so this was particularly weird) thought the CIA was after me (in my flat, in England, lol), the works. Persecution delusions in particular - ie, people being after you, are the most common in disorders like bipolar, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, etc

      All of these people who claim to be getting “secret transmissions” and the like are obviously dealing with some undiagnosed mental illness. It’s pretty obvious when we have overwhelming evidence that hearing voices is a sign of mental illness, whereas there’s no evidence to support secret radio signals or whatever.
      I sincerely hope these people are able to get some professional help bc they need it. Glad to hear that you overcame your own issues too, mental health is nothing to stigmatize or ignore.

    10-20 years ago and even now people mock fibromyalgia sufferers. They said people were exaggerating or plainly faking symptoms of the disease. As someone who suffers from these and lupus..it took over 10 years for doctors to give me the right diagnosis. I was an active soccer and softball player during my early teens until around 16. I developed severe pain in my legs.. so bad all I could do was ball up and cry myself to sleep. Doctors ran test after test and guessed it was some kind of arthritis or mixed tissue disease. None of the treatments or medications worked. I saw several doctors who accused me of faking and drug seeking. I looked up fibromyalgia and a lot of my symptoms matched but all my doctors blew it off.
    It wasnt until I was 27 that the diagnosis of lupus was made. 2 years following that I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I still struggle with pain and weakness every day and it affects my life in a lot of ways.
    I don't know if they electromagnetic sensitivity is real or not but I know how it feels for doctors to mock your pain. Even making jokes about you to the other staff in the clinic. Its disheartening and at times I didn't want to live anymore. Luckily a doctor took me seriously 7 years ago and it changed my world. My heart goes out to all that suffer from illness.. you are strong but you dont have to stay strong all the time. Its okay to break down and feel bad. Dont let people in your life make you feel like you cant be vulnerable in front of them. If it makes them uncomfortable than they weren't good friends in the first place. You are only human and you need people around you thats supportive.... that accept you as you are. 💕💕💕
    Good luck and bless you.

    This was a very interesting watch. I appreciate that it was thorough despite not being a full documentary. After undergoing severe childhood abuse, I was diagnosed with FND - functional neurological disorder. A condition where your body takes stress and mimics any and every illness that it may know.
    But, the tests? The bloodwork? It will be clean every time.
    To a degree because of the wide media exposure in today’s world and the lack of independent thinking encouraged - I think more people have mentally induced conditions than they recognize.
    The brain is powerful. Powerful.
    Also, I have not watched the video on Multiple Personality Disorder, but I hope you did enough research to know that it is properly called Dissociative Identity Disorder and is the result of extreme trauma to the brain. The DSMV does not even acknowledge the existence of a “multiple personality disorder.”
    Great video as always. Keep it up!

    • @101Mant
      @101Mant 2 года назад +7

      Studies of people with electro sensitivity show that their symptoms are very real, its just not caused by exposure to electricity or electromagnetic fields, but the belief they are being exposed to them. Of course if you stand near a power line or cell tower you are being exposed and believe you are being exposed but under controlled conditions the two can be separated and its the belief that causes the sickness.
      The way the human mind can make the body sick is still so poorly understood, I do wonder if these things are somewhat similar to things like mass hysteria which can cause physical symptoms but has a more limited duration.

    • @carissashley
      @carissashley 2 года назад +7

      @@101Mant Yes, that was what I was trying to mention. They are very poorly understood and poorly researched. Most therapists and doctors don’t even know they exist.
      Which is crazy, because FND almost killed me and almost killed my cousin.
      The illness it creates is very real. It is a genuine threat to the person who has it; but it is coming from their brain and not their internal organs.
      Strangely enough, when I was first getting ill from FND, I was given an electro sensitivity blocker and actually found it effective.
      Again, that probably is the brain seeking any kind of relief.
      I still go through periods of intense illness and the two labs that have shown where my body is damaged is in the liver (which filters everything) and the entire digestive system where I contracted Candida.
      Healing from trauma takes a lifetime.
      And that’s why based on a person’s testimony, abusers should be tried in court.

    This is a subject that hit's home for me. Back in 2004 I started hearing voices and spent years trying to understand what it meant. I first thought that it was the government bouncing something off my box spring mattress, then my narrative changed as it was happening away from my bed. Eventually I had decided that I couldn't take it anymore and decided that a hospital might have the equipment to keep the signals from getting to me and who ever was part of the shadow games could get the message that I needed to be protected. In the end it turned out to be mental illness, I had spent 2 years in absolute isolation in my parents basement prior to the event that triggered it. A "friend" came over, first person I had interacted with, and smoked some pot with me. Along the way I even went downtown to the FBI building and told them it had started online and I couldn't say anything else. Over the years as I fought against the schizophrenia building a new life small thing's still lingered, even as recent as a couple years ago I was almost afraid to tell my therapist that I had gone to the FBI because of the computer with a webcam on it. All this while having a life quite normal in comparison to the years previous. For years I dealt with it but once obamacare came around I was able to get a therapist and one on one interaction with a medication doctor and that's when I started to get actual result's. I'm still a broken person but I've defeated so much from my past that I always feel like a new person. Just now getting over drinking too.

      My oldest brother is schizo-effective and VERY deluded. It’s heartbreaking to see your loved ones deteriorate mentally. I can’t imagine being the one going thru it. Sadly, trauma (no matter how big/small the event[s]) addiction and MH go hand in hand: trauma triggers MH issues therefore we self medicate. Self medicating makes our MH worse so we self medicate even more. It’s a vicious cycle that’s so hard to break from. Be proud of yourself for not only seeking help, but continuing to do the work to keep your MH in check.
      Congrats on starting your recovery journey!! There will be bumps in the road, no doubt about it. Just remember the path to recovery is YOURS and YOURS ALONE. Don’t ever let anyone tell you HOW to recover bc everyone’s path is different. What matters is that you get there.

      @@rubigee4397 Thank you, I would say there is some hope for your brother but improvement isn't measured in day's week's or even month's but years. I've been fighting this in one way or another for at least two decades now and I would call myself a recovered schizophrenic, granted I have very low levels of symptoms but it's good enough for me to claim victory. The deciding factor with anyone is the willingness to open up to doctors and therapists which is incredibly difficult to do. For many years I would just say "yeah I'm fine" because I didn't want to be like the other people in the group that would rattle off a laundry list of medications they have been on or are on like it's a badge of honor. But that fear of mine kept it going for far to long. Once I was able to get out of the group medication scene with a doctor and therapist was really the point that I started my recovery, but that's been 7-8 years now so it's not a fast process. As to self medicating, thing's were so bad and so deeply set in time that most of the time I had to do something for some kind of change, even if it was a negative change it felt like I could do something about my situation, so I've been drinking for over a decade out of necessity.

    As someone diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder due to delusions in line with the topic of this video, I can confirm that just listening to this video was triggering. It’s a complex issue that would take a lot to unpack, but suffice it for a comment to say that I had to work hard to maintain a ‘normal’ mindset and not slip back into a delusional one.
    These kinds of problems are hard to explain and even harder to understand. The people experiencing them are treated quite poorly by society in general but also, troublingly, by medical professionals as well. I wouldn’t wish commitment to a mental health establishment on my worst enemy.
    Good luck everybody. No answers here. Just perspectives and questions.

    In The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King, there's a group of people who wear metal hats to keep their thoughts private.
    I remember driving cross country in the United States and it was quite late. I had my radio off and I started hearing things through my speakers. It scared the s#!@ out of me. I later found out that cars (at least older ones) could actually pick up AM radio signals and you could hear it. So I wasn't going crazier than normal, which was a relief.

      If you are close enough to any radio source and you have a speaker oftentimes the speaker will just pick up the radio source. In fact you could make a small powerless radio using the stick coil and a speaker. The coil uses the small amount of electricity that the radio signal gives. Seriously look it up on RUclips if you like. Said radio of course won't be the best quality radio but it used to be a fun electronics project to do back in the day when you were a kid.

    I experienced a strange phenomenon in my late teens, which probably has a scientific explanation (I hope!) I had a job at a woodworking mill, where every shift, I was exposed to extremely deafening levels of noise from the machinery, saws, planes, lathes, etc. We used every imaginable form of hearing protection available, but many of the old- timers who had worked at the mill for years had experienced hearing loss, and wore hearing aids when not at work. When the plane at my left and the gang saw at my right were operating, even with earplugs, one could literally hear nothing except for the deafening roar. But I began to have auditory hallucinations at these times, I would hear pop music through the roar of the blades, top 40 tunes, like listening to a radio at low volume. This would last for several minutes at times, and I was able to recognize particular songs. The mill had nothing resembling Muzak, or any similar commercial or in-house music system, the noise level would have rendered such a program useless. In fact, just to make any kind of announcement over the mill's PA system, all of the machinery first had to be turned off. My ears wouldn't stop ringing from the time that I left work for the weekend until the time that I returned to work on Mondays. I have never experienced auditory hallucinations before, or after, my time working at that mill. It was very strange. The mill is AMF incorporated, in northern New York state U.S., we made bowling pins for the Japanese market, spools for weaving looms, and cores for wooden baseball bats.

    Electrical Engineer here… If you _ground_ the tinfoil cap, it _maybe_ might have _a little_ electrical shielding effect. However, if you leave it “floating,” then, very loosely speaking, it’ll just re-transmit what it receives.
    But yes, the more likely effect would be to set up resonant _standing waves_ reflecting between the opposing surfaces of the cap. That will at best only _amplify_ twice that wavelength of electromagnetic wave.
    That’s how microwave ovens work, BTW: The power from their “magnetrons” are moderately-but-not-extremely powerful - about a Kilowatt, but if you put them inside a “tuned cavity,” then that frequency will be amplified like a vibrating guitar string.

I’ll have a song in my head, and when I turn the radio on in my car, that song is on. It’s happened quite frequently. I start work at 4am so I’m not subconsciously hearing it from another radio in my house or from another car (as there is none). It’s usually not a pop song that’s played often (law of averages is if you’re thinking of a top 10 hit and you turn the radio on, it’s going to be on). Can’t explain it with any logic I can think of

I woke up later that morning, got on the internet to look at the playlists of the local radio stations from the night before (they don't typically post previous playlists on their websites anymore, not since iHeart became a thing), and one of them had, in fact, played that song at right around the time when the song would've entered my head.

    From 2002 on I installed numerous WiFi routers at companies I worked for. Also at home I installed them.
    In those years I started to get severe headaches but thought it was because stress, work and having young children.
    But one day I was in my study and my headache "just" disappeared... I went downstairs to tell my wife about that and she told me she just shutted the main power down, to do some adjustments ...
    So the WiFi ánd the Siemens Giga-set were shut down too at that moment.
    When the power was on again, the headache came back too.
    I also realized our bedroom was just 2 meters from the cupboard in which the WiFi, power etc was located, and we switched the stuff off during the night.
    Nowadays most WiFi routers have a power adjust, an eco mode etc and just emit at only the power needed at that moment...
    Just my bit.

      Switch over to using ethernet cables instead of wi-fi, and keep the wi-fi off as much as possible. Most cell phones can be connected to the internet using some equipment and ethernet cables. You can get ethernet switches to increase your ethernet capabilities. Ethernet is faster than wi-fi. Ethernet cables rated for the highest speed are the best. Slower ethernet cables can slow down much of the network. An ethernet switch can be connected to another ethernet switch. If you must keep the wi-fi on, place the router as far as practical from where you are most of the time. This may not make much sense to you, but there are some indications that routers that are further away have less of a physiological impact than routers that are closer, even if they have the same field strength.

      Whats the diameter of the chain links? You may want to keep it below 5mm, ideally 1mm to prevent the nastier high frequency microwaves from getting through (almost) unhindered. Hint: most commercial grade microwave generators work in the 1 - 10GHz range, that's a wavelength of 3 - 30cm; you want to keep the gaps below 1/10th of the wavelength for ideal filtering - for this range that would be links smaller than 3mm.
      It protects during thunderstorms if you can guarantee that the material between your skin and the aluminium is safe to several megavolts. If the mail touches your skin anywhere you are practically toast because it will also slightly increase the likelyhood of a lightning strike on yourself. Check the tesla coil fans for what they wear.
      Personally I would go for the entire medieval suit of armor style, wearing leather clothing underneath (feels more natural and is pretty EM safe). If you go off the hinge, do it with style and for crying out loud don't let THEM know you are onto them - the medieval knight shtick helps greatly with that.

Ring size would have a correlation with frequency if I was using an open weave such as European 4 in 1, which is the standard for coifs. However, as I use a tight weave that is a hybrid of elven and European 6 in 1, the rings overlap so that no electromagnetic frequency can penetrate my coif from any angle without hitting a ring and being redirected to ground. Of course it is not 100% efficient, mostly due to signal reflection. But it works well enough to block any coherent signal.

After he finally convinced a doctor to X-Ray his head where they found the stimoceiver, the doctor gave him a a big piece of tinfoil from the hospital kitchen to fashion a helmet to help him stop hearing radio signals, since (like a person with an old style mercury filling who has recently had an electric shock) he was picking up radio waves.

When it fails to divert really high-energy particles you get northern lights. That's pretty much all the field does, apart from indicating some slowly moving point in northern Canada as the "magnetic north pole" and another frozen piece of land as magnetic south.
      The heart does generate some electricity while it moves. You can measure it in the millivolts with either a specialized ECG or even a normal Oscilloscope. It's not much, but enough to allow diagnoses that have saved a lot of lifes.
      Hmm. Most cells don't communicate significantly with EM. It's usually chemicals. In the case of nerves those chemicals happen to be ionized, which means you can disrupt nerve signals with electric shocks. Of if you use more advanced tech you can couple some implants directly with nerves (e.g. cochlea implants for hearing).

      Each nerve cell in the brain has a number of tentacles connecting it to other tentacles on other nerve cells. Electricity is transmitted within the cell, but to communicate between one cell an another, chemical reactions are used. Each connection is different and each brain is wired differently. Not just the frequency is needed to communicate, but the exact neurons to fire and the exact connection to fire, and that is difficult. It is even more difficult to do it at a distance. To communicate that way, you would need to trigger not just one connection, but many of them and trigger them precisely and in the right sequence. If I remember correctly, some promising research has been conducted to connect a specific brain to some specific equipment, but it does not follow what I have described here. In a nutshell, it would not be possible to transmit detailed enough information to a brain by use of a transmitter at a specific frequency.

    we did this multiple times, some days it didn't seem to work but if we went down a few steps usually it would start working again.

My instructor made me wear a grounding strap through the rest of my college term. I never had issues with buggy collage computers thereafter...As a young kid, my dad would watch me get zapped by display cases when we'd go to stores with florescent lighting in the cases. He'd watch arcs come off the metal frames....I can see where people would think they're allergic to electrical fields. I think we can all feel electrical charges, but most of us just ignore it like it's the weather....If one is truly sensitive, I would think they wouldn't come out until after sunset, when the planet is between them and the sun...I guess I'm like Newton Pulsifer when it comes to computers and lead based batteries....

When some other kid came by and provided the logic that it's literally just concrete and dirt, it snapped me out of the paranoia the other kids gave me.

    In order for a “tin hat” to be truly efficacious, like any Faraday cage or an analog thereof, it needs to be grounded. A connection to ground allows the energy intercepted by a Faraday Cage to be dissipated away from the protected item.
    In the case of the “tinfoil hat”, the energy that could be intercepted by the hat ends up only attenuated as there’s no really effective means to dissipate or shunt the energy away; as was pointed out, the effect of the hat as constituted, is frequency-dependent.

    I personally am inclined to believe the electromagnetic sensitivity like in better call Saul. Anyone who is a radio enthusiast (myself included) will know that there are often FCC warning labels warning not to be too close to an antenna that is transmitting, as well as some very high frequency transmitters having radiation warnings on them. Also interestingly enough, it’s been found that police officers are at a higher risk of testicular and ovarian cancers due to the high powered radios on their belt near their pelvis. I have also had an experience of my own. Near my Walgreens pharmacy drive through, there is a small black box that says “low frequency” just before the drive through window used to detect cars and give the employees a heads up. I have noticed that when I am parked next to it and it is roughly head height, while I don’t experience pain or nausea, I do get very irritated and over all very uncomfortable. But as soon as I pull away from the box as far as a few feet, the feeling instantly goes away. So do I think the electrio magnetic sensitive people really are being affected in a painful way and really are being affected by electricity, or it’s all in their head? I DONT KNOW. But what I do know is that some frequencies and affect the human body to some degree

I have a first class radiotelephone license with a ship radar endorsement. I have not worked in the field for a long time, and the license might be called something different now. You are right, that the radiation from the radios of five watts is not regarded as strong radiation or high radiation, but integral to this conversation is the thought that this radiation, while weak by radio standards, might cause physical harm. If you double the distance between the transmitter and receiver, the field is 1/4th as strong. The strongest radio transmitters in the U.S. are 50,000 watts, much higher than the 5w police radios. I was told years ago that in Mexico, the strongest radios are 100,000 watts. I have worked as a transmitter engineer at one radio station that ran 5,000 watts in the day time and 1,000 watts at night, and I went to each of the six towers every day to take some readings. I have worked at 50,000 watt stations. I never experienced any symptoms from my exposure to electromagnetic radiation while working in that field. TV transmitters were different. The frequencies were higher, but there was little radiation in the transmitter areas. Police radios are different. They operate at higher frequencies but lower power than AM transmitters. I understand what you are saying and your thoughts and comments are competent and reasonable and even professional, although your assumptions about me are incorrect. There is virtually no radiation from the police radio while he is receiving audio from the dispatcher. There is radiation when he talks on the radio. If he removes the radio and brings it to his mouth when he talks, then I estimate the field strength to the area would be 1/16th the strength to the affected area than if he left the radio on his belt and talked through a different microphone. Decades ago, I also had a General Class Amateur Radio license.

The stuff you buy in the store is aluminum foil. And not offers you no protection from the signals or radiation.

      that's prob cause u have some type of metal in ur blood. prob from eating too much fish or getting too many needles popped in ur arm. or maybe using metal to cook/store ur foods and the little shavings break off into the food. Like fastfood has alot of ppm stuff in it cause of its storage practices. and the MRI is a giant magnet that starts exciting and pulling at that stuff.
