Is overexposure to electronics making you sick?
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity is a little understood condition caused by overexposure to electric, magnetic, wireless, radio, or ionizing radiation.
Those suffering from Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity experience debilitating symptoms such as intense burning sensations, whole body aches, migraines and brain fog, which come about when they are in contact/using technology or not.
When seeking a diagnosis through conventional medical channels, patients often are subject to skepticism about the source of their illness. They suspect what is causing their illness but struggle to speak to someone who is familiar with the cause.
The team at Enviromed are amongst the only medical professionals in Toronto able to properly diagnose this often misunderstood condition, allowing them to create treatment plans that address its symptoms and underlying causes.
While you may have Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity, you don’t have to suffer, treatment is possible.
