Review
"Finally, I have someone to trust and rely on when it comes to all things EMF. Thank you, Nick, for your tireless pursuit of the truth and practical ways to protect ourselves." (Dr. Ben Lynch, Author of four time bestselling book, Dirty Genes)
"I thought this book would be the usual 'cell phones might kill you' story... but it turns out it packs a ton of really good independent, scientific evidence. The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs is probably the best book I've ever read on the topic." (Ben Greenfield)
"I love The Non-Tinfoil Guide To EMFs. It's the most well written, well researched book on the subject. Filled with tons of great research and easy to implement solutions. It's a must read!" (Beth Greer, award-winning journalist and bestselling author, Super Natural Home)
"The best part of Nick's book is revealed in his subtitle: 'How to Fix Our Stupid Use of Technology.' The overarching lesson in The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs is this: What you don't see can make you really sick (and it's not germs!). As the pioneer of the clinical framework of Health Optimization Medicine and Practice, I recommend this book to all of my clients running the gamut of insomnia to loss of woody. Often, the simple act of turning off the household WiFi at night is enough to resolve these. Oxidative stress markers can now be measured, and one can literally see the drop in non-hormetic oxidation levels when clients follow his simple tips for mitigating EMF stress, like putting your phone on airplane mode." (Theodore B. Achacoso, MD)

- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2021Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseUPDATE: October 5 - a few months after buying the EMF meter author recommends. What he says in the book is spot on and lines up with what the meter says. His interventions work. I followed his advice, and tested before/after and saw radiation levels drop from deep in the red danger zone to well within the green safe zone. I don’t know what motivates people to say things like I read in the top two reviews, but keep in mind that there are a lot of people very vested in maintaining the status quo by discrediting those attempting to take a stand and educate others. Think about all the businesses that stand to lose money should eMF dangers be more clear and well known. I was in medicine, and it’s a similar dynamic at play there - so much resistance against the tide of new information that threatens the old paradigms. The book is perfect - accessible to the layperson, provides easy and cheap solutions, and importantly, provides advice on how to prove it to yourself (just get a meter if you want to test his claims).
I bought this book when I realized that I was becoming very agitated/tense/angry during iPhone use. I was curious as to whether there was something about the technology itself that might be causing the agitation. I went down the rabbit hole, and landed on this book (at the recommendation of a doctor in a FB group of integrative physicians).
This book was such an eye opener for me. I changed so many of my habits immediately as a result of this book. I turned off my wifi and switched entirely to ethernet connections in the entire house. I turn off the circuit breakers to my bedroom at night. I put timers on my outlets, and stopped using my laptop while it is charging. And most significantly - I got rid of my iPhone altogether and switched to a "dumb" phone that does two things: calls and texts. No apps, no internet browsing, no games. None of that mindless crap that was making me agitated and tense.
My anxiety is almost gone, my sleep has improved tremendously, and I have better dream recall as a result of turning off the breakers at night. I've tested this several times, thinking its a coincidence - breakers on, no dream recall. Breakers off, dream recall. It's crazy to me. And - unrelated to emfs -- without that iphone demanding my attention all the time, I am so much more engaged in actual life. My dogs are even visibly less agitated. My rat terrier is less aggressive and territorial after a night spent in the room with the breakers off. I've tested this a bunch of times, too, thinking I was imagining the change or attributing it to the breaker thing when it had nothing to do with that. But it's consistent and I'm a believer now.
I just ordered the EMF meter the author recommends to see where else I need to intervene to limit my emf exposure.
Ignore the bad reviews - specifically the one by the engineer.
The electrical engineer whose review is so disparaging is an example of the way people flash fancy degrees to try to make it appear as though scientists/engineers have some sort of exclusive claim on knowledge and some special ability to interpret it. He attempts to discredit the author in his review by pointing out that RF/EM/DE etc are all subsets of the same thing, when the author distinguishes between them. Well....there is a very good reason the author distinguishes between the types of EMF, and the fact that the reviewer doesn't realize that makes me wonder whether he actually read the book. It's not like anyone with a scientific background or a high standard for evidence would agree with his criticism. I also am an MD, since we are throwing degrees around, and again, this book came recomended by a group of physicians.
The author admits upfront that he is a guy with no formal education related to the content of the book, and many times as he writes, he acknowledges that some of the claims made in his book and elsewhere both seem "woo-woo" and do not yet have sufficient evidence to make confident assertions. When that is the case, he refrains from recommending action. For example, he won't endorse any brands of radiation blocking equiptment because the science just isn't there for a lot of it. But where there is sufficient evidence, he presents it and follows with strategies for minimizing your exposure to it. This book doesn't set out to be an academic text regurgitating established research and endless citations. That EMFs are dangerous is a novel idea to most scientists and laypeople alike. The research that does exist - and there's enough of it to be very convincing - is made accessible to the layperson in this book. The author encourages the reader to take control of the process and test things for him/herself - get an EMF meter! Measure the radiation in your environment yourself! See what effect your interventions have on those levels - and assess how you feel.
I will agree that the citations are inadequate in some places - not even close to being specific enough to be acceptable - but the points the author makes are redundant enough, and the citations sufficient in the majority of the book, so it really doen't matter at all.
The author of this book is a humble person who admits his limitations upfront, and then proceeds to blow your mind with what he has uncovered about the dangers of EMFs and to enlighten the reader as to easy, budget friendly ways to protect yourself. Excellent book; life changing for me.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI had to take my phone off of airplane mode in order to write this review. So I’ll make this quick.
This electromagnetic frequency poisoning and sickness stuff is for real. I’m shocked that many of the educated and intelligent people I work with still think this is WOO WOO. People believe in electricity, they believe in ultra violet and infrared frequencies , they believe in x-rays, they believe in microwaves- But I can’t seem to get them to grasp the concept of electromagnetic frequencies, magnetic radiation, radar and dirty electricity. They’re not getting it because we are being deliberately kept in the dark in regard to the negative effects of this technology. Too many people have too much money to lose.
Hey! I get it. Most of us would rather die then give up our technology.
But I can’t even get my friends to consider the fact that there might be something to this, that there might be a reason why their kids are sick, that there might be a reason why they are sick or that they can’t get pregnant or why they can’t sleep, or why they have headaches and dizziness all the time or why their doctors can’t figure out what’s wrong with them, Or why they get so many colds, etc
The answer to all of these questions are here in this wonderfully written book by someone who keeps it enough on the light side to make his point.
Highly recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2019Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI have read a lot of books about EMF and the adverse effects on the human body. This book is my favorite on the subject and the one that really opened my eyes to this massive problem. The sad sad thing about it all is MOST people don't have a clue what they are doing to themselves and their precious children by allowing EMFs to bombard our everyday lives. After realizing the facts regarding this, it really makes it hard for me to be comfortable in areas where I am surrounded by it. I value my life! Doctor's waiting rooms are one bad place for multiple cell phones being used... and in many cases , small rooms. One day I wanted to just get up and walk out it was so bad. One lady had a baby in her arms and was just talking away with the baby's head very close to the phone the whole time. People need to wake up regarding this problem. It is going to be a LOT worse when the 5G is everywhere and the Internet of Things. There won't be any escape. We as a people need to speak up and put a stop to it. Which is more important ...convenience or our health!?
Read this book and share all you learn with others. It's very important....especially for little children/babies!! We should be their protectors. We should be making noise about this to our government representatives.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2019Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseGood concept, contains most of the basic info most people need, free of fear mongering and alarmism. But I find the layout a bit confusing and the format exhausting... too many different fonts, crowded and busy pages . And no index! The writing is rather sloppy in places. This book needs a professional editor and designer. I also think there are too many references with no indication of which studies actually hold water and are good quality. Still, thumbs up because a book like this is sorely needed and it covers a lot of good stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very concise and clear oversight
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThank you Nicholaus for taking the time and effort to write this book. It's what I've been looking for: a book that explains EMFs in a clear and not too technical way and that connects all the different dots. Plus it gives a lot of references to studies and other (probably more difficult) books, which I'm confident I'll understand better now than before reading your guide. So a big thanks to you! I can recommend your book to anyone who is interested in being informed about EMFs and I'll probably buy a few more copies to give away.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Single Volume Book on EMF's
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseEMF's pose a risk to everyone, yet most people know nothing about it. This book gives a good A-Z of the subject, the authors work is well balanced, research backed, not too heavy but detailed where it counts and written in a humorous style which is just what this subject needs. Perhaps a note on nutritional support, for example iodine rich foods (e.g. kelp) and magnesium would be a helpful addition. However, still a great book. This is also the best book to buy for someone who needs to know all the key facts but can't commit to reading volumes on the subject. If you only buy one book on the subject then this is a very good choice.
