Under a Rock: An Electrosensitive Survival Guide - 1059

Cell phones, Wi-Fi, powerlines. These "Dark Force Machines" are ubiquitous in modern life, but that doesn't mean they are safe. A growing number of people worldwide have become Electrosensitive, which means that they suffer severe debilitating illness in the presence of artificial electromagnetic fields, yet return to good health when they go to wilderness areas with no cell phone service. Some electrosensitives choose to stay in their homes and be sick, usually losing their jobs, while their friends and family think they are crazy and eventually abandon them. A few brave ones strike out on their own and become "Electrosensitive Refugees," searching the world for the last few places the telecommunication industry has not yet contaminated. Julia Lupine's story is unique is that she was already living in caves when she became electrosensitive. A survivalist and wild plants enthusiast, this was probably just a phase while she figured out what to do with her life as an unemployed thirty-year old. But Julia soon started noticing she didn't feel so great when she went into town to get supplies or socialize: weird head pains, nausea, and dizziness were just the beginning. She noticed her cell phone caused a burning sensation when she put it up to her ear, and decided to smash it with a rock. But the situation continued to escalate, until she found herself living in a real survival situation, alone against a hostile world. Julia could have given up at this point or decided to hate all humans, but instead she decided to look for creative solutions to the problem. Eventually she found others like herself and began to create community. This book chronicles Julia's journey and the tips and tricks she has learned to navigate life as an electrosensitive person. Herbalism, clothing, low-cost building techniques, and how to care for goats are all discussed in these pages, as well as some easy to read information about electrosensitivity and the coverup by the telecommunications industry. Funny, informative, and an inspirational story about persevering stubbornly above all odds, Under a Rock is a must read for any person who is themself electrosensitive, or has an electrosensitive friend or family member.
