One man's fight against a cell tower
For many who feel the effects of electromagnetic poisoning, the night isn’t darkest before the dawn. Days feel like everlasting night.Sometimes the best way to make our way through the darkness is by closing our eyes, and looking within. Once our inner vision adapts to the blackness within and without, we can open our eyes and see through the shadows of our past with an original understanding.Noone can make us let go of control. Nothing can lower our prejudiced defenses, but our Higher Power. No being can force us to see life in a different light - but God. Yet we must be the ones we’ve always waited for - to take our Leap of faith, and believe that someone will catch us, and lift us up where we belong.Today we’re joined by Hank Allen of Idahoans for Safe Technology. Hank transformed his home and health after realizing in 2014 how much exposure to radiofrequency radiation was harming his chance for a life. Hank has been at the forefront in the fight against wireless in Idaho. In 2023, Children's Health Defense came to Hank’s aid, helping him file a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho Southern Division. This lawsuit could set an important legal precedent that would help others who want to fight back against having a cell tower placed near their home.Join us today, as we discuss:How Hank discovered he was electro-sensitiveShielding strategies Hank used to deflect the cell tower by his homeWhy some people can’t clear mold toxins, and how EMF increases mold How the death of Hank’s bees coincided with deployment of the cell towerHow SeaToFarm is helping others find homes protected from EMF This is a public episode.
