On episode #5, season 3 of "Better Call Saul", in the ending scene Chuck's character fail to identify a cell phone's battery that is put in his jacket's pocket. Across the net, speculations have been done (and we will most likely will have more of these) that this is just another prof that Chuck's condition is mental and not physical.
I just saw the episode. We need to remember this is just a TV series, but having said that, I see how Chuck could not feel the battery in his pocket. I am an mid level EHS person and I don't react to DC charge from batteries(some people do). What I do react to is RF from cell phones and wireless devices. But this does not mean I can identify it right a way. In addition I can sustain (and so can Chuck's character, as seen in other episodes) some exposure to RF without being dead on the spot. In some cases I can feel specific signals, but in most cases it is the accumulation of exposure that wear me down. For example when I am going out of the house to parliament committees meetings, or in other meeting that people use their smartphone around me, I can function for several hours. I don't feel great, I am not at my best performance and sometimes I can feel pain, but I can function (most of the times). I most cases I do "pay" with pain when the day is over, when the Adrenalin rush is going down and the pain killers' effect is fading.
So, again, placing a cell phone buttery, or a working cellphone, next to me, in most case will not cause a reaction right away (but please don't try it on me, as if the phone will be transmitting in GSM or LTE I will be in a lot of pain after few minutes).
In fact, I have a cellphone battery next to me just now. Does that mean my EHS condition is not real? Does that mean the Chuck's characters' condition is not real? No!
It mean that who ever think that all EHS people react to all EMF exposures right a way, on the spot, as if we are all some kind of human EMF detector, does not understand EMF , RF, their biological effect and EHS.
Spoiler alert - this post include info from episodes 5,7, 8,9 of the first season of "better Call Saul".
Many people ask "How come Chuck McGill could not sense the electric bed in the hospital scene on episode 5 (26:00) of "Better Call Saul?". In this scene, Chuck McGill is in a hospital, surrounded by electric and electronic devices, probably including wireless devices. He is in acete EHS condition, with open eye, but seems to be out of consciousness. His brother, Jimmy McGill then find him and try to turn off all the equipment and remove all cellphones from the people around. After a minute of so Chuck returns to consciousness. The doctor then start to talk with him and in the mean time, turn the electric bed back ON. Since Chuck McGill does not react to the electric bed the Doctor, as some of the media, blogs and sites, conclude and explain that this is a proof that his sickness (EHS - Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity) is not real.
EHS people are not an EMF meter
Most people, even scientists fail to understand that EHS people are not EMF meters. An EMF person can sense one type of EMF (CDMA or UMTS cellphone radiation for example) but will not react to other types of EMF (for example ELF magnetic and electric fields from electric beds).
Even when it comes to the type of EMF that the person is reacting to, in the first few seconds of exposure he may not feel it. It might take some time for the pain or symptoms to appear, according to this person sensitivity. Once the symptoms appear the person will be suffering for some time, even if the exposure ends.
Once symptoms appear and while the symptoms decline in strength after the exposure ends, the EHS person might be oblivious or none responsive to other exposure or to changes in the exposure (type or strength).
This happens to me (and I am an EHS person) all the time. I for example, can not stand GSM signal from mobile phones, RF signal from DECT phones even from 10 meters. But I can be exposed to RF from UMTS or CDMA phones from about 2 meters for several minutes. In addition I will react to WIFI or ELF magnetic fields usually after a few minutes and up to an hour, depending on the strength of the EMF. I for example, would be able to sit for more than a few minutes on the hospital bed before sensing that something is wrong, but use a GSM phone 10 meters from me and I will feel really bad after less than 10 seconds.
There for the fact that Chuck McGill did not react to the electric bed does not mean his condition is not real or caused by EMF exposure.
Remarkable recovery?
As seen in the later episodes of "Better Call Saul", Chuck McGill gets a bit better. First, Chuck starts to practice on going out (episode 7 - 08:20), a bit more every time. Then finds himself completely outside the house for a few seconds (episode 8, 45:30 -46:35 ). On the start of episode 9, Chuck and his brother spend a few minutes outside the house sitting on a bench. Later on on episode 9 (around 20:00) Chuck even attend a meeting in his law firm (armed with a Jacket with Myler lining for RF protection) without losing his consciousness.
Is that really possible or does it prove his condition was only psychosomatic? - No it does not.
EHS people can get better
The first step of getting better is to reducing exposure to EMF. The process involves making EMF measurements, getting rid of all RF emitting devices, using low EMF emitting devices, in some case cutting off the electricity entirely (as in Chuck's case). An important step is using EMF protection in order to protect the house from EMF coming from outside and protecting yourself (RF Protection clothes) when going into the EMF reach environment. Then you need to try and get healthier in any other way: changing your diet, getting rid of metal dental fillings, detox, and every possible way.
Mental training
One of the most effective things I did in order to get better (or stop the decline of my condition) was to break the bio-mental feedback. The thing is that people usually experience pain and suffering in 2 ways, physiological and mental. Every time you will think about the pain and the suffering and of being a victim, this might influence your sensitivity in a way that you will become more and more sensitive. The way to face that is to try and break the bio-feedback cycle and try not to experience a mental pain. Try to concentrate on good things, on successes, on making a positive step forward in a way that the possible bio feedback will overcome the negative bio-feedback. For example, every time I am in pain, I try to think of the good things I will do when the pain will fade-out, and then do it. My EHS and EMF awareness activities serve as a positive bio feedback to my condition as an EHS person.
So, EHS people can get better (usually not a full recovery but a lot better), and Chuck's McGill recovery does not prove his condition is psychosomatic! The hospital scene - episode 5 (26:00)
A new American TV show called "Better Call Saul" is going to be the next big hit in USA and world wide TV. In the middle of this show there is Saul Godman (Used to be known as Jimmy McGill, played by Bob Odenkirk) a small town lawyer , which his brother Chuck McGill, seems to suffer form EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity).
This is big new (I think)!
I don't know how Chuck McGill condition is going to be presented on the show. On one thing I am sure, EHS is going to be widely displayed on TV and then on every column, blog, news paper, Facebook and tweeter feed. People are going to talk about it. People are going to ask "what is it?", "Is it real?", "Could I be suffering from it?", "Can that be why I have an headache every time I am on the phone/tablet/laptop?".
There are going to be lots of wrong answers (see bellow) and it is very important that we EHS activist around the world will get ready with the right answers. Ready to shoot them back at those saying that EHS is not real, only psychosomatic, was never proved, every study showed that EHS people could not tell between exposure and not exposure and so on.
In the past few years, I manage to gather lots of info about EHS and summarized it on my web site - http://www.norad4u.com/ehs.
I call and encourage other activists to post their sites and info page about EHS as a reply to this post, so the info will go around. I call and encourage other activists to post their views about EHS on the existing and future web pages, post, feeds, articles that are going to talk about "what Chuck Mcgill has?"
