Hi. My name is Steven Klockow. I’ve been drawn to “alternative healthcare” and nutrition since my early 20s. I remember consistently getting an upset stomach after eating apples sprayed with the pesticide Alar. When I ate an “organic” apple I felt fine. As my curiosity expanded, I decided to visit a second generation acupuncturist in Amherst Mass where I was completing my undergraduate degree.

This was quite a leap from the health care paradigm of my childhood. I remember going in for a sort of “test” visit. At the end of this short appointment the acupuncturist concluded that I was indeed a good candidate for what he offered. I had no idea what that meant at the time. In reflection I would say that these two experiences are my earliest adult memories of realizing I’m “sensitive” in ways other may not be. I would now call this being a canary. (as in those brought down into coal mines)

Most of us assume wifi to be entirely safe, especially when compared to the signals coming from a cell phone tower. Wifi is everywhere so it must be ok, at least so I thought. I feel tremendously fortunate that a colleague in my office loaned me a client’s Acousticom meter, a high quality RF or Radio Frequency meter that measures the microwave radiation emitted from wireless devices. For the next few weeks I was able to both see and hear a variety of invisible RF radiation frequencies. Thus began my journey of learning obout the massive impact that microwave radiation is having on us as a pollutant in our modern lives.

For many years I had been doing work on my laptop such that my body was always between my laptop and the wireless router in the next room. I never really considered how the wireless signals passing through my body could effect my autonomic nervous system, cellular signaling or the health of my mitochondria. Whenever I occasionally spent 2-3 hours online I began to notice that I would leave my office feeling kind of wired and agitated. This effect was most pronounced when I spent the time running video quality data through my body.
