In spite of having experienced the paranormal throughout my life, I haven’t paid a whole lot of attention to my psychic abilities outside the incidents themselves. After all, I don’t make a living as a psychic. Instead, I choose to focus on living a life as normal as mine can be.
That isn’t to say I haven’t periodically read up on the subject or watched a documentary or two. But none of those things has prepared me for what life as a psychic is really like. And I’m still learning. For instance, I’ve only recently become aware that my psychic abilities directly affect my glandular system, and the adrenals and pancreas in particular.
The shakes. Before my doctor turned me on to the Atkins diet I was a hypoglycemic. For years, when I went too long between meals, I experienced what I call the sugar shakes. My body literally began to shake from a lack of sugar. My diabetic grandmother explained the problem and I began making sure a glass of OJ was never far from reach. I now know that didn’t solve the core issue and once I began eating a high protein diet my sugar shakes became a thing of the past. Hypoglycemia no longer plagues me.
Ghosts like sugar too. In Angels and Engineers, I talk about a ghost I encountered in Las Vegas. Several months into that relationship I realized that after I’d conversed with him, I felt the sugar shakes. Apparently, my adrenal glands responded to the paranormal encounter by executing the Fight or Flight Response, which dumped sugar reserves into my blood. This, in turn, sent a flag to the pancreas to release insulin to take care of the excess. The end result was feeling worn out and shakey.
Even though it happened more than once, it took over a year before I put it together that the psychic encounter had led to the Fight or Flight response. I certainly didn’t feel panicky or frightened when seeing or talking to a ghost. But my adrenals apparently did. At least on some level.
EMF Sensitivity and the adrenals. I have recently come to understand that EMF Sensitivity is an autoimmune condition. To combat it I implemented a therapeutic regimen that would rebuild and strengthen my adrenals. The results were phenomenal and I now have my EMF Sensitivity well under control. Interestingly, this has exposed a psychic paradox of sorts.
The stronger my adrenals become, the stronger my psychic abilities become. If utilizing my psychic abilities causes adrenal stress then it stands to reason that my hard work treating the EMF Sensitivity will begin to unravel. I believe it’s my ability to sense paranormal energies that leaves me suffering physical (and sometimes debilitating) physical symptoms when exposed to ultra-low and very-low electromagnetic frequencies (ULFs and VLFs).
Comme ci Comme ca. With the good of having enhanced sensing abilities at my disposal goes the bad of EMF Sensitivity induced physical ailments. In utilizing one I am almost inviting the other, but what’s the alternative? And in any case, I can’t turn off my abilities. Nor would I want to.
This bears further study, not just because of interest, but because of necessity. I will publish my findings but in the meantime I wanted to alert the psychic community as I am able that, as I write in my book Riding the Waves: Diagnosing, Treating, and Living with EMF Sensitivity, psychics and those with exceptional gut instincts may be more likely to experience EMF Sensitivity.
This means anyone who relies on their intuition, which circles back to my concern that those in the military may be more vulnerable, along with other law enforcement personnel who rely on their extra senses to help keep them alive and make good choices in their line of work.
