I found Zapped to be very informative, helpful, and very worthwhile, even though it is now almost 10 years old, which is a lifetime in the tech world. Science has only further supported the serious health effects that the constant and ever-increasing bombardment of EMFs create in our lives.

If you think carrying your phone around in your pocket (or bra!) all of the time or letting your young kids sit with it or an iPad regularly is no problem, I feel very sorry for you, and especially for your children because they are getting more cumulative exposure through immature brains and bodies over their lifetimes than you. You will all drain our social services budgets, though, on your way down the sickness spiral.

Consciousness, critical thinking, and awareness are all needed now more than ever, as we all participate in making our world increasingly more toxic by the choices we make in our lives about what we "need", want, demand in our lifestyles. Religious dogma, such as that below--"I don't agree with the author's views in relation to our oneness with the earth and mother nature. The earth was created by God (as were we) and God sustains the earth and causes it to function despite the consequences of the curse (sin.)"--is just another way to ignore reality, unpleasant truths, and personal responsibility. I, too, believe in a Creator of all that we know and beyond, but I would never assume that this gives me a pass on using the brain that I was gifted in order to improve and protect my own life, that of my family, and our shared environment.

I hope that more people will wake up and read books like Zapped, or watch movies like Generation Zapped ASAP. With 5G rolling out now, and 5G satellites soon to be blasted out into space this summer (2019), time is of the essence. All that's in Zapped will seem like child's play because far stronger and more harmful EMFs will be zapping us all from space, no matter where in the world we are or the infrastructure or devices are concentrated. There really will be nowhere to hide. Google "petition against 5G" if you care. ( )

This was an interesting read....not sure that it's 100% reliable but interesting definitely.

The author explains how electromagnetic pollution is invading our lives and gradually causing our illnesses. She sites various examples of individual cases where it does seem to be likely that EMP is responsible for the health problems experienced. She lists vitamins and minerals that will help combat the problem and suggests a range of expensive gadgets you could buy for your home/car/workplace etc. She provides lists of websites/resources for further reading. She explains how she has implemented some of her own recommendations. She even provides suggested recipes to incorporate various foods into your diet....

However, the book reads as an expose, as if the authorities are deliberately concealing data that is killing vast numbers of people and as if the answers contained in this book will solve any and all health problems. It seems as if the author attributes everything that is wrong in our lives to EMP. A lot of the detail is technical and may be beyond the abilities of the average reader ( a lot of it was beyond me,) this may confuse people and cause them to panic, making them believe that they are being zapped and are about to drop dead any second if they don't buy expensive gadgets NOW!

The biggest problem with this book is that it is meant to be preventative so the author advocates buying all these things, having various tests done etc even if you are currently well. The reality is that most people won't even think about this unless they have always been worried about EMF/mobile phones microwaving their brains etc or they are already ill and trying to eliminate causes. If they are ill already these suggestions may work or at least help but they are unlikely to eliminate the problem altogether as everyone's body is different.

I don't agree with the author's views in relation to our oneness with the earth and mother nature. The earth was created by God (as were we) and God sustains the earth and causes it to function despite the consequences of the curse (sin.)

There are some interesting things in this book and useful resources. Also small things that we can all do to limit our exposure to EMP.....but don't panic on reading it! I have a light exposure to EMP as I don't like gadgets and therefore have very few but a typical gadget holder may be very scared on reading this book.....

Recommended for interest's sake and to learn about EMP.

This is popular alarmist non-fiction (Is that its own genre now?) without being informative of the scientific basis for concerns. Devra Davis does it much better in Disconnect. ( )

This book is awesome!!! It is thorough, detailed, and extremely practical. Not laden with conspiracy theories, just the hard facts. ( )

Zapped - Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn't Be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution by Ann Louise Gittleman is an informative read about the prevalence and damage that electromagnetic fields (EMF) and electronic pollution and how to mitigate these in the home and at work.

As the title suggests, this encompasses radiation from mobile phones, microwaves and high voltage power poles, all generally accepted by the majority of people to 'not be good for us.'

However Zapped goes even further to suggest that today's lifestyle is full of electronic devices such as wi-fi, laptops, ipads, cordless phones, ipods, televisions and time-saving kitchen appliances. Put simply, we are bombarded by EMF every day. Every room in our house has multiple devices plugged into powerpoints and some cases powerboards. At the time of writing this post, I have twelve other wi-fi networks criss-crossing mine at home making thirteen in total. Wow!

Some of us are sensitive to EMF and Gittleman believes that many health related problems that have been attributed to stress or other conditions can be attributed to EMF, even going so far as to suggest conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, headaches, migraines and more. Her evidence and information is quite compelling and certainly makes for interesting reading.

Zapped contains many resources including websites, and suggestions for further reading and I was pleased to see reference to Earthing - The Most Important Health Discovery Ever? by Clinton Ober which is one way to reduce EMF exposure. I've read this book, purchased and use the products daily.

Zapped is a great reference book with measurements, advice and guidance for those wanting to learn more about the environment around them. Did you know you can buy house paint to reduce your own exposure to mobile phone towers?
