Inconvenient Disclaimer
Even though I’m legally bound to advise you to talk about the possible health effects of EMFs
with your physician… the reality is that doing so will likely make them slap you with some kind of
bipolar disorder and tell you to stop believing what you read on the Internet.
Most doctors have no idea that even very low levels of EMFs can cause side effects in some
people — ranging from slightly affecting your sleep to the straight up debilitating symptoms
experienced by people diagnosed with electro-hypersensitivity (EHS).
They took the oath of causing no harm… but they simply don’t know what they don’t know.
This EMF ignorance spreads way wider than just in medicine. Most home builders and
electricians have no idea how to reduce the levels of EMFs in electrical systems they install. And
most engineers and physicists still believe that low level EMFs cannot possibly cause harm — and
have convinced most policy makers, politicians and influencers that anyone bringing up the issue
must be a tinfoil-hatted, conspiracy-theory-loving lunatic.
Before our EMF safety standards finally catch up with what the latest independent science shows
is actually safe, my real advice for you is to stay very critical, educate yourself, and do your best
to reduce your
exposure.

Foreword
The Unexciting Story Behind This Guide
I wish there was an amazing hero’s journey behind the creation of this guide. Maybe a riveting
story about how I was holding my cell phone one sunny day, got so sick I was bedridden for
months, and eventually discovered I suffered from a debilitating case of electro-hypersensitivity
(often called “EHS”).
Shortly thereafter, I would leave everything behind to become an internationally-acclaimed
activist fighting for the victims of this crime against humanity.
The truth is… I’m just a guy trying to stay healthy, and who happens to be slightly obsessed with
getting to the very bottom of things.
My name is Nick Pineault, and in the past 4
years I’ve been publishing my findings about
nutrition, our environment, and anything
health-related on a free online newsletter
called “Nick & Gen’s Healthy Life.”1
I’ve written more than 1,500 newsletters that 1
have been sent to tens of thousands of people
from all around the world. In 2013, I also
authored an ebook series about our broken
food supply titled “The Truth About Fat Burning
Foods” — which has been sold in more than
50,000 digital copies. Based on these numbers, I
guess that technically makes me pretty close to
an Amazon bestseller.
Here I go trying to put forward my
accomplishments in order to show you that I
have some credibility. I hate it when I do that.
The truth is that I don’t have special abilities
or prestigious credentials — just a Bachelor’s
in communications, combined with an open,
critical mind and the unique kind of stubbornness you need to dive really deep in a subject,
almost drown in the process, and eventually come back to the surface to explain the whole thing
in a way that makes sense to the layperson.

This guide is the result of countless hours of research — probably well over 1,500 — studying
the published work of amazing scientists, researchers, authors, activists and engineers who
are studying the health effects of EMFs, second-guessing our current safety standards, and
dedicating their entire lives trying to break up the status quo and make the world a better place.
My obsessive research process has included:
• Taking the best out of the top Amazon bestselling books on EMFs including Zapped (Ann
Louise Gittleman), Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation, What the Industry
Has Done to Hide It, and How to Protect Your Family (Devra Davis, PhD), Overpowered: The
Dangers of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMF) and What You Can Do about It (Martin Blank,
PhD), EMF Freedom — Solutions for the 21st Century Pollution — 3rd Edition (Elizabeth
Plourde, PhD and Marcus Plourde, PhD), and Going Somewhere: Truth about a Life in
Science (Andrew A. Marino, PhD) — just to name these few.
• Going through to the most recent work of pioneers in the world of EMF research like
Martin Pall, Magda Havas, Martin Blank, Devra Davis (all PhDs), the Environmental Health
Trust, Powerwatch UK, Microwave News, Daniel & Ryan DeBaun from Defender Shield, and
much, much more
• Listening to dozens of interviews performed by Lloyd Burrell of ElectricSense.com with
top researchers on electro-hypersensitivity, cell towers, smart meters, shielding, EMF
mitigation and multiple other EMF-related topics 2
I would like to particularly single out Radiation Nation: The Fallout of Modern Technology, written
by EMF pioneers Daniel & Ryan DeBaun as a reference for this book.

As I was beginning to write The Non-Tinfoil Guide To EMFs, Radiation Nation was released. Digging
through this book sped up my writing and research process, because the authors have connected
the dots in a way that had simply never been done before.
If you want to learn more about EMFs, all the resources cited above are very useful and will help
you in your journey.
But if you prefer skipping the first 1,500 hours of research and get the gist of what EMFs are, why
you should care, and what you should do to protect your health, then read on. This is what this
guide is all about.

The Honest Truth About This Guide
The last thing I want is for you to read this guide and feel like you’ve wasted your time. So before
we dive in, let’s talk about expectations.
What this guide is:
• An actionable tool to help you learn what you can do today to safely reduce your exposure
to EMFs and their known or potential related health risks
• An open-minded discussion about the overwhelming evidence which shows how outdated
and ineffective our current safety standards are
• An easy reference you can come back to anytime, and that’s written in a way you can
actually understand
• Down to earth education that’s going to make you a healthier, happier person — whether
you think you’re personally sensitive to the effects of EMFs or not
• The definitive proof that we need to use our technology in a safer way while our standards
catch up with the latest science
What this guide is NOT:
• An extensive, hard-to-read book which covers every single topic or health effect related to
electromagnetic fields
• A political exposé on how telecom companies, regulatory agencies and other people are 3
conspiring against your health (although there’s definitely some truth to that)
• An engineer-level guide on EMFs focused on technical minutiae
• A book filled with out-of-context, cherry-picked activist propaganda and scare tactics
about how you should shred your iPhone to pieces as soon as possible
• The definitive proof that EMFs are going to kill you, fry your brain, or give you cancer
If this guide is not what you expected, please write to [email protected] for a full refund
within 60 days of your purchase. No hard feelings.
Before We Move On
I won’t lie — this entire EMF thing will feel overwhelming at first.
At one point, you might even get the intense feeling of an impending doom, and think the world
is a very scary place — especially for those very sensitive to electromagnetic fields or small
children.
But don’t freak out just yet. Take a deep breath, smile, and simply do the best you can with the
knowledge you have.
Armed with the new information you’re going to get in the next pages, you’ll be able to safely
reduce your EMF exposure — 95% of which can be done for free, in just a few minutes. No tinfoil
hat required.
