Review: Perhaps the most important book of the time? - This book is excellent and I cannot recommend it enough. After having read it once, I intend to read it again and keep it for reference. I bought it several months ago on the advice of my doctor and only had the time to read it last month while on vacation. I say this because for me in any case, I had to have some downtime wherein it was actually possible to absorb the information. Firstenburg does a really excellent job of writing engagingly about what is essentially a complex problem that has evolved in a convoluted fashion over the last 150 years. At the end of his very carefully researched book I was just marveling at this newfound knowledge revealed to me. Who could have known the damage that is caused by harnessing electricity?! Or that our bodily functions happen thanks to electricity? Or that there is a constant electric exchange between the earth and the skies?! I, for one, had no idea, and this book really opened my mind - including to the damaging effects of electro-magnetic pollution on our bodies. Incredibly I was able to join the dots in terms of my own life and connect health crises I’ve suffered in the last two decades to times in history that I was exposed to higher levels of electro-magnetic radiation. I had a burnout in my mid-20s while working 100 metres from a 60 metre high radio pylon, for example. Had never made the connection before now. Also developed chronic inflammation in the body around 2011-2012 which corresponded with the widespread rollout of WiFi. Coincidence? Then, was able to trace the rollout of electricity to the remote village my father was born in to the early 50s, which was the same time a member of the family got sick with a sort of epilepsy, another got sick with MS, and another member took his own life. Was there a connection or was it a coincidence? I will never know but the information in this book has really caught my attention. The one downside is that Firstenburg is really focused on the problem and offers no solutions whatsoever. At he end of the book he describes how the various multinationals will be sending thousands of satellites into space in preparation for the rollout of 5G from 2020 to 2023 and he says simply that “this must not happen”. Well, I write in October 2020 when it is most definitely happening and we ordinary punters can’t do a thing to stop it!! While the author doesn’t mention it as a solution, I started “earthing” after I read this book. I have found that has helped my chronic health conditions subside, and I am sleeping much better. I don’t know if it will still help once 5G is fully rolled out but I am hoping it’s a step in the right direction. Short of getting these satellites down from the skies, what else can we do?!
Review: A page turner - One of the best books I have ever read this year and particularly on the subject of harmful radiations and their history. How humans as well as all other species and our beautiful planet become ill (if not die) from electromagnetic pollution. The book is full of interesting references. I resisted buying this book for quite some time but it was a big mistake. Fabulously enjoyable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pass this book around for people to read
*by S***H on 22 July 2020*

There are already a lot of good reviews describing The Invisible Rainbow and its contents. The book wholeheartedly feels like one written with a huge amount of work and care - for the purpose of communicating a deeply-felt, experienced and researched subject. When people (and the rest of the World's inhabitants) are being subjected to massively higher and increasing levels of electromagnetic fields/radiation than we evolved with, it is important for people to consider and read around this subject themselves - and to form their own judgements. A lot of good research suggests that there are very big costs in terms of health (to everyone - and not just the growing percentage who are, or have become, electrosensitive). It is interesting to compare some of the emerging symptoms being associated with the current pandemic with those of non-ionising radiation poisoning, as described in this book. It is not necessarily as ridiculous as many so aggressively "shout" that our immune and other systems are being compromised by more than just the virus. The argument that we should "wait for irrefutable proof of harm" before slowing down our microwaving of the planet seems unbelievable. (There feels a similarity there to the long-fought argument against human-induced global warming!) Remembering that we cannot, for example, put thousands of people in lab-controlled studies for several years, where different groups live identical lives except for their exposure to non-ionising radiation, we have to look at a collective of evidence from different studies. There is plenty to find if you look around that gives considerable cause for concern. This book makes for very interesting and worrying reading - and is a great book to lend others.
