Electrosmog and autoimmune disease: silver-threaded caps result in improved symptoms for 90% of study participants

April 27, 2018 By Trudy Scott 40 Comments

One of the most compelling studies I learned about in the recent Electrosmog Rx course (hosted by Nick Pineault) is the study by Trevor Marshall, MD and Trudy Heil, RN: Electrosmog and autoimmune disease. In this study, 90% of the participants – all with an autoimmune diagnosis of either arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, sjogrens or celiac disease – reported improved symptoms as a result of wearing silver-threaded EMF protective caps.

The paper provides a good overview from NASA on what electrosmog is i.e. all the electromagnetic waves we’re exposed to on a daily basis:

As you sit watching TV, not only are there visible light waves from the TV striking your eyes, but also radio waves, transmitting from a nearby station, and microwaves carrying cellphone calls and text messages, and waves from your neighbor’s WiFi, and GPS units in the cars driving by. There is a chaos of waves from all across the spectrum passing through your room right now.

Patients who were participating in Dr. Marshall’s autoimmune/VDR/electrosmog research were purchasing commercially available shielded clothing and tenting on their own from retailers and reporting symptom improvements:

This clothing typically has silver-coated polyester threads interwoven with the supporting fabric so that the garment is capable of partially blocking microwave Electrosmog.

Fig. 5: A X20 micrograph of a microwave-blocking fabric woven with a mesh of silver-coated polyester strands among the supporting bamboo fibers (Electrosmog and autoimmune disease)

Because there were frequent anecdotal reports of symptom improvement, especially when their brain and brain stem were “shielded” during sleep, Dr. Marshall and his team decided to create a standardized sleeping cap so the EMF shielding effect could be easily analyzed and optimized.

Fig. 6: A photograph of a sleeping cap sewn from the microwave-shielding fabric (Electrosmog and autoimmune disease)

Study participants wore the cap once for 4 hours during sleeping and once for 4 hours during normal activity. The results were impressive, with 90 % of the 64 patients reporting a “Definite” or “Strong” change in their symptoms.

The authors share that those with an autoimmune condition seem to be predisposed to Electrosmog hypersensitivity (now being called EHS) at levels currently existing in typical home and work environments. They suggest the following:

effective control of environmental Electrosmog immunomodulation may soon become necessary for successful therapy of autoimmune disease.

Caution does need to be exercised as some people can feel worse when going from being bombarded by EMFs on a daily basis to much less exposure. This could almost be considered a Herxheimer reaction and is described in the paper as follows:

When the Electrosmog in a patient’s environment is reduced, the immune system tends to become more active. This may result in immunopathology. Indeed, some patients have reported a surge in disease symptoms, occasionally an intolerable surge, after WiFi routers and cell phones have been switched off in their homes. Others have reported that travel to a very quiet area, such as a remote canyon, caused a surge in their immune symptoms.

This is something that Dr. Klinghardt finds when working with his patients and the authors agree that we need a plan on how best to address this. I can attest to this personally – I have discovered that I have Electrosmog hypersensitivity – and as I have started to mitigate my own EMF exposure I’ve had to be careful.

This proposed go-slow EMF mitigation plan includes:

  • the basic foundational work based on my book “The Antianxiety Food Solution” and the material on my blog
  • additional nutritional support specific to the EMF detox: mitochondria support, added antioxidants and melatonin, rosemary, propolis, kombucha, vitamin D and more
  • and only then removal of EMF sources, EMF-protective clothing, grounding and devices such as pendants, and supporting specific symptoms such as increased insomnia/anxiety
  • working with a knowledgeable functional medicine practitioner if heavy metals are being stirred up and are causing worse symptoms (Dr. Klinghardt reports this to be a common issue).
  • reducing some of the support nutrients once EMF mitigation is in place and the ‘herxheimer’ reaction is over, adding them back when you know you’ll be exposed to WiFi i.e. during travel and when ill or during times of stress

I’ll be sharing more about my journey and my detailed proposed go-slow EMF mitigation plan with links to research in a future blog.

Going back to the study – we are still learning more about what this may all mean for someone with an autoimmune disease. The results are clearly very powerful and the benefits wonderful. But for me this study is so promising on many other levels because it shows that:

  • EMFs can and do have an adverse impact on health and this adds to the growing body of evidence (despite this research and many more studies, the dangers of EMFs are not common knowledge)
  • we have control and can do something about the adverse effects of EMFs
  • those of us with less severe symptoms but still sensitive to EMFs, can also hopefully expect to see some improvements when mitigation approaches like this are implemented

I write about how Wi-Fi is an important threat to human health and may contribute to unresolved anxiety, SIBO, oxalate issues and high cortisol. This is just the tip of the iceberg and it’s something we all need to be taking seriously.

I’d love to hear from you. How concerned are you about EMFs and what changes have you made? Did you experience a Herxheimer reaction when reducing EMF exposure and what helped you?

If you’re a practitioner – are you talking to your clients/patients about this and seeing improvements in their symptoms when they make changes? Are you interested in learning more about this topic so you can further help them? If yes, the evergreen digital version of the Electrosmog Rx program created by investigative health journalist Nicolas Pineault is now available.  You can learn more about the program here. I highly recommend it!

His book, “The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs” (my Amazon link), is also recommended reading for all of us.

    Thanks for writing about this and your recent FB posts about your experiences at EMF electrosmog training. I order Pineault’s book last week. I’m interested in hearing more about the go-slow detox idea. After the basics, would using a cap for say 1/2 hour or an hour and then building up be an approach do you think, or does it need to be a minimum threshold to have any effect? I would think if building up a tolerance to the absence of electrosmog, a slow titration up would make sense.

      You’re most welcome and super to see you here on the blog! We just don’t have answers yet as all this is so new. As you know we always need to consider the individual – their unique biochemistry and what their EMF exposure has been/continues to be, plus other environmental exposures (like mold, metals, pollution etc). As you can see, Dr. Marshall and Trudy recommended 4 hours in the day and 4 hours at night but that may be too much for some individuals, and not enough for others.

      When I’m working with a client who tells me they are really sensitive, we go really low and slow with supplements and we could use similar logic with EMF mitigation. But then someone may be so badly affected by EMFs that they may benefit from more lengthy mitigation right away. A friend of mine had such severe effects from EMF exposure that she had to wear a full body suit including face mask (sort of like a bee-keepers suit) whenever she left her home.

      Judy, wireless radiation affects your whole peripheral nervous system and destroys the myelin sheaths. Your PNS is the outer-skin of a human body called the integumentary system. This is were microwave illness begins, including electrical illness. Sadly, you and mot who post on this site are not aware of the dangers of wireless radiation (RFR) and electric-magnetic fields (ELF).

      Placing a good quality head protector is great, particularly at night when sleeping, as it will protect your brain, but will not protect anything else.

      RFR causes neurological, cardiovascular and haemodynamic disorders including nuersasthenic symptoms.

      A detox will help to get rid of the metals, but if you have amalgam fillings or metal-based fillings or dental caps with a metal bridge, all the metal ions will be leaching from those fillings filling your body up with metal ions and making you toxic. If you have fillings that are amalgam or metal get rid of them first before detoxing.

      RFR and ELF isn’t as simple as Nicolas or Judy might claim.

        Hi George,

        It’s August from Tech Wellness. Thank you for pointing this out.

        I agree- but I actually don’t think it’s a good idea to even wear the cap, or any partial shielding at all due to the increased potential exposure at the edges.

        Having EHS and dealing with it for years, I actually feel worse when I wear “shielding” clothing.

        Have you seen the NEW study that points out the drawbacks of partial shielding? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331309945_Shielding_methods_and_products_against_man-made_Electromagnetic_Fields_Protection_versus_risk

        It talks about the Silver Cap study and makes some good points.

      I’ve reached out to the study authors to get details on who to contact to get a cap. It would require you to be part of the ongoing research i.e. they are asking folks to document their use of the caps and report back to them.

      May I ask why you have an interest in getting one? and if you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition? and/or have anxiety? Also, do you have exposure to high levels of EMFs?

        Thank you for getting back to me. Ever since 4 smart meters were installed on the side of my house (just below my bedroom and on my living room wall) I have experienced drastic health problems (insomnia, heart irregularities, depression etc). I have purchased several protection mechanisms but still do not feel comfortable. That’s why I would love to try a cap.

        So glad to see the interest. The best method I’m finding is to purchase a meter (such as a Cornet) and start measuring at home, at work, while in hotels, in public transport, restaurants etc. Seeing is believing! I’ve been doing this and wow! It also gets the skeptics in the family very interested very quickly. It shows trends so then I suggest getting an appointment with a building biologist to get very accurate measurements.

      I have ESH now since 2007, and moved 11 times in 9 years to avoid ever encroaching cell microwave pollution and wifi. At present I live in a relatively low radiation place and my neighbors turn off their wifi at night to help me. What they may not know is turning it off at night helps them too. Mitigating the effects of this ever increasing microwave radiation threat, is much more than for just those of us who know we are sensitive to it. It’s certainly more than a woman’s issue that she must learn to mitigate alone ! it’s a world wide science experiment with all of us as the unwitting subjects ! It’s a world health issue ! We can have digital data streaming, but the levels can be much lower instead of ever increasing amounts of it for great speeds. There is no evidence that having fast data streams is improving business, nor educational outcomes, That’s just a present day fantasy ! It’s a serious health threat to our children, and especially dangerous for ailing, and old people as it speeds the onset and increases dementia ! There has been a 300% increase in children’s brain cancers since 1993 when cell phone use became almost everyone !

        Thanks for sharing your story and yes it’s “a world wide science experiment with all of us as the unwitting subjects”. The scary thing is the lack of awareness and the less obvious effects we’re not seeing like low magnesium, low vitamin D, oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, low zinc, reduced fertility and so much more.

        You’re fortunate to live in a relatively low radiation area. With kind neighbors like that I’d work with them to go completely wired and ditch the WiFi altogether! It will help them too.

    Trudy,
    I have researched EMF effects since 2006 & got training from GIA WELLNESS which uses dual technologies Energy Resonance Technology (ERT) developed by a team of scientists which is a blend of energy frequencies allowing the human body to handle EMF without much harm & Molecular Resonance Effect Technology (MRET) developed by Dr.Igor Smirnov, Russian nuclear/radiation physicist, to harmonize & neutralize EMF. He studied the earth’s magnetic field with low frequencies & Schumann Resonance with 7.83hz. He simulated this when he developed MRET.

    I have been using these dual technologies since 2005 starting with universal guard for computer then adding pendant with copper & ERT, cell guard for phone, airtube headset, home harmonizer with ERT plugged to electric outlet good for 60-feet radius.

    With change in diet from eating most all foods to vegetarian after learning meditation to live foods vegan for some years for deep cleaning & sensitivity to toxins in food, my body has become more sensitive to EMF getting headache within an hour of using vacuum cleaner continuously, 2 hours of wifi environment in front of big TV screen 3 rows away, sitting under the vent in a wifi room. Heart has pain after 2 hours in front of big TV screen years ago. So I have wired internet at home but neighbors upstairs has wifi. I do not get headache from this distance but could still have headache from food not pure. Fabric bamboo is natural but polyester is synthetic & does not allow cells to breathe & can cause skin itch.

    EMF penetrates metals & silver is metal so I am trying to understand how silver can block EMF. My pendant is stainless steel & charged with ERT which is a blend of frequencies making EMF less harmful but EMF still passes through metal. Fabric may have some technology that makes EMF tolerable but article does not directly mention which technology.

      Thanks for sharing about the GIA MRET technology you have been using. I found what I think is the site https://www.thecellphonechipstore.com/ and see this research paper: The effect of MRET polymer compound on SAR values of RF phones https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19227082. I’m very interested in learning about technologies that help mitigate the effects and will be looking into this further. At first glance my concern with this approach is that they only mention benefits for SAR/thermal effects and not all the biological effects.

      Airtube headsets seems to be helpful but we may have to be careful about added exposure to the chest area. I’m going to measure this with my new meter.

      I don’t have answers for you on the mechanism/technology of the fabric used for these particular silver caps as I’m just learning myself. I’ll reach out to the study authors. For now you can read about EMF protective fabrics here https://www.lessemf.com/fabric.html

      Regards to EMF sensitivity many people report benefits with mitochondrial support, approaches to reduce inflammation and boost antioxidants, addressing low vitamin D, low magnesium, low zinc, the microbiome and more. I advocate a real whole foods diet that does include quality animal protein. For vegans, we have to be very careful about low iron/low zinc/low B12/low omegas-3s and fluctuating blood sugar.

    I worked out that wifi was a huge problem for my ASD child when he would scream every time we went into a shopping centre. Also, he wouldn’t sleep in his bed and would come into our room to sleep after we had wifi installed years ago. He sleeps all night now after I turned it off permanently – the router was under his room.
    It is so much worse for those who have a heavy metal burden like my son – wifi, mobile phones etc attach to the metal and won’t let it go.
    I’m very worried with plans for the future – driver-less cars, 5,6,7 G networks etc- what are the consequences of these?
    We have a Tesla plug-in and I think it helps.

      And yes many factors like metals can make it worse. Others include mold exposure, candida, someone who already has inflammation or lowered immunity or nutritional deficiencies/oxidative stress.

    Hi Trudy, please can you tell me where I can get the sleeping cap from? I am more then willing to take part in research.

    I have an autoimmune disease and anxiety. First off I just have to say a massive THANKYOU for all the work you do. For your blog, your summits, and your book. I first heard you speaking in an online summit and was amazed, I bought your book and have learnt so much from you. GABA and Tryptophan are utterly amazing! I wish I had known about them years ago. I wish everyone knew about the outstanding benefits of Amino Acids. I initially tried GABA for the anxiety (it works!), but discovered it also helped immensely with Occipital Neuralgia and debilitating migraines.

    A little bit of my history – As a child I had asthma, many allergies, dermatitis and hyperactivity. However I have been severely unwell for the last 20 years ( I am 43 now). In 1998 I was diagnosed with Systemic Candida, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Generalised Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder. Later the anxiety became Agoraphobia.

    Over the years I saw psychiatrists ( prescribed anti-depressants), psychologists, naturopaths, herbalists, counsellors, many, many doctors, a hypnotherapist, attended yoga classes, tai chi classes, mediation classes, and learnt buteyko breathing and also Cognitive Behavioural Techniques. I still had massive anxiety.

    In 2008 I was diagnosed with Hashimotos (and found out I had very, very low Vit D, Iron and B12 levels) prescribed synthetic thyroid, blood pressure, cholesterol and beta blockers medication. Then in 2010 with Sleep Apnea, ‘Adrenal Fatigue’ in 2011, and with Occipital Neuralgia later that year ( I had shocking headaches 24 hours a day 7 days a week for 3 years).

    FINALLY in 2016 with Pyroluria (started on zinc, B6, P5P, evening primrose oil etc) also I had very high histamine on my tests and found out I was undermethylated. I was switched from the synthetic thyroid medicine to Natural desiccated Thyroid as my TSH was 52.00.

    In 2017 I had a consultation with Dr William Walsh in QLD as part of BioBalance, I then started detoxing from high copper. Later in 2017 I started taking Low Dose Naltrexone.

    Being unwell for so long is like a jigsaw puzzle and I think that EMF’s are an important part of it all.

    THANKYOU again Trudy for helping and educating all of us, it is life changing and life saving information

    Hello….thank you so MUCH. I suffer from Multiple autoimmune diseases. I was in a MVA in 1985 suffered a traumatic brain injury. In 1993 at 42 y.o had a myleogram in a hosp. out patient. I developed staph spinal meningitis and encephalitis. The dr had to poke me twiceduring the procedure NOT using a new needle nor re sterilizing it.
    In a 5 day coma, ending up now with traumatic brain damage. 28 days in hosp. on Vancomycin & Rochepin.
    The home nursing twice a day 1 bag of each, piggybacked. It destroyed my immune system, my nervous system. I ended up with PTSD. Panic, anxiety attacks. Bipolar 1. Developed Prenicous anemia, GERD, fibromyalgia, Insulin resistance, high cholesterol. I already had Hashimotos. Later on I ebded up with EBV.
    CHRONIC FATIGUE. I recently found out I have an MTHFR mut. I can barley leave my home. Or bed. I have chronic pain issues from the MVA, neuropathy. I am pretty much a mess. It itchy rashy skin. Extremely fatigued, weak. I was recommended to get a gamma gobulin infussion, but am to tired to go back to the dr. I need knee surgery , my surgeon will not do it with my immune system. So when looking into stem cell…..found out that with EBV I cannot have stem cell therapy. I have been on more doses of antibiotics in my life than I can stand to think of. Get frequent ear,sinus infections…..and after the Meningitis I was told I MUST get on Antibiotics ASAP.
    Will this cap help me…? I would be willing to do a study if the would take me. Any suggestions where to start ? I live in OC Calif.

I just learned about it, don’t know much about it, but I think I’ll buy a necklace. I enjoy your blog but don’t always catch everything, so maybe you have already written about shungite. Thanks for all you do.

      Thanks for sharing – I haven’t yet written about it. A friend just also shared this site with me and loves her necklace and thinks it helps her (she is dealing with mold issues so has quite a lot going on and so it’s hard for her to tell right now). The jewellery is really spectacular and the information she shares on the site is very thorough and so interesting.

      I’ll share Nick’s concerns about protective devices/wearable items/stickers – we don’t have independent research on their effectiveness; many people get a false sense of security thinking they don’t have to do anything else (like keeping your distance from wifi, no cordless phones etc) – much of this is due to marketing claims on many sites selling items; we don’t yet know what these items are doing – stopping the damage or simply reducing the symptoms while the EMFs are still causing damage.

      I share similar concerns but that being said I currently wear my old Qlink and am sure it helps (based on 3 times in the last month that I didn’t not have it on and didn’t know until later – so no placebo effect). But I have also done a huge amount of EMF mitigation and will continue to find more ways to reduce exposure. You’ll probably also see me wearing one of these necklaces in the near future as I feel there can’t be any harm and there are hopefully benefits especially when I’m away from home and have less control.

      Please do share your experience once you get a necklace and start using it. You know I’ll do the same.

    Hi Trudy,
    I’d be very interested in trying the emf cap or participating in a study. I have Lyme disease and a lot of sensitivity to EMFs. I also suffer a great deal of depression, insomnia, and cognitive impairment. Please kindly inform if there is a way to purchase the cap so I can see if it will help my symptoms. Thank you 🙂

      I’m waiting to hear back from the study authors and will post replies and info as soon as I hear. I’d also check out Darin Ingels’ new Lyme book in the meantime “The Lyme Solution” https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/the-lyme-solution-by-dr-darin-ingels/

      I’ve had great results with Lyme clients who use the amino acids to help with depression, insomnia, and cognitive impairment. Here is one example where GABA helped anxiety and insomnia https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/gaba-helps-with-lyme-anxiety/

    Yes Trudy, the paint and wall paper can be an issue with making things worse. I wrote to http://www.yshield.com in Germany about this and they replied as follows:

    You can shield high frequency fields and via proper grounding also low frequency electrical fields with our paint. But it is very hard to manage to shield a complete room with paint, as you always have gaps (windows, doors,…), pollution will get inside the room and get reflected back and forth maybe inside the room.
    For shielding your sleeping place we always recommend a canopy and a floor mat, to build a Faraday Cage:

    I am also interested in getting some of these for my apartment:

    I have been in detailed correspondence with the inventor and getting all my questions answered.

    Hi Trudy,

    Thank you for your post. It’s August from Tech Wellness. Having EHS and dealing with it for years, I actually feel worse when I wear “shielding” clothing.

    I’ve heard this from many people who also suffer with EHS.

    A new 2019 study from very respected and reliable researchers that have had many electromagnetic radiation studies published, cautions all types of shielding and they specifically address this Silver Cap study:

    “This article did not include statistical analysis, there was no control cap without metal grid to test for a possible placebo effect, and did not report whether the“change in the symptoms”was an improvement or worsening.”

    What do you think about the fact that this study did not use a control group?

    You can see the entire shielding study here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331309945_Shielding_methods_and_products_against_man-made_Electromagnetic_Fields_Protection_versus_risk

    I’m interested in your thoughts and I also want to let people know that there are many of us with EHS and other auto-immune issues that find it’s a much better option to control our exposure to EMF and find that the clothing often increases our symptoms. The increase in EMF on the material edges could be one reason for the worsening symptoms.

    Be Well!

    August

      Thanks for sharing this and the new study which I had not yet seen. Can you share how shielding clothing made you feel worse and what clothing it was?

      I have had this feedback from some folks too.

      Have you reached out to the authors of the silver cap study?

      BTW I edited your link so it points to the researchgate link as I don’t know who has rights to the link you shared
