The last client of my week this past week brought me to a startling new revelation: how many of our dogs, our very best friends, are being adversely affected by EMFs, electromagnetic radiation exposure.
Dogs, like humans, are exposed to EMFs in their environment, through cellphone towers, electrical grids, microwave ovens, TV and radios. But unlike humans, dogs are often controlled by electric shock collars and underground electrical fences which expose them to shocks that affect not just their behavior but also their health.
A very good friend and professional dog trainer contacted me on Tuesday. She had just learned that her favorite pet had contracted not just one but two kinds of cancer.
The dog, who I’ll call Boo (all my clients are confidential, even the dogs!), had surgery Thursday and came to see me at the end of the day on Friday.
I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect from a dog who had just undergone cancer surgery and had stitches on the top of her head, but suffice it to say that she (like most of my clients) was ecstatic to arrive at my house and garden. We spent a good amount of time sniffing out chipmunks and prowling the front flower beds before coming into my studio to begin the healing.
Although most of my clients are of course humans, I have done medical intuitive readings and healing work on cats, dogs, goats and horses. I have great compassion for animals because they can not exactly point out to us what hurts or what precisely they need to get better. I feel like I am their intermediary, the one who can speak up for them and help their owners understand how to get them the help they need.
I had prepared for Boo by laying yoga mats all over the carpet in my studio. Then I set up my healing table on top of the yoga mats, covered it with a flannel cloth and placed fluffy pillows on top.
My thought was for Boo’s owner, the professional dog trainer, to lie on my table and hold Boo so that I could do Reiki on the dog.
However, Boo was so happy to be at my home and garden, she was not able to settle.
I was quite patient with her as working with dogs is exactly like working with little children. You just have to go at their pace, doing the healing work as they allow and taking short breaks to play and have fun.
I brought down dog cookies, which only served to brighten her spirits even more – as if checking out the chipmunks, running after her ball and receiving Reiki weren’t exciting enough.
After about half an hour of Reiki, I recommended that the dog trainer allow me to do surrogate healing work on behalf of Boo.
A surrogate healing is when the owner or another person takes on the energy of the diseased animal, child or person in another location. I have done surrogate healings on babies in an intensive care unit in another state and all manner of pets and absent persons.
First, I clear the person who is taking on the energy. Then the person takes on the energy of the diseased animals, child or absent person and I proceed as per usual with a healing.
So here was my big revelation.
I set the goal, which was to empower Boo to heal her cancer. Then I used kinesiology to find the emotion, which was faith.
Then I asked what would heal Boo, and the number one thing that came up to help her was to clear geopathic stress.
Geopathic stress is when a person or animal is being adversely affected by stress in their environment.
It is a huge category and pertains to all manner of exposures – both manmade and natural.
I asked the dog trainer how she had come to be Boo’s owner, and she related that Boo had been abused by her previous owners. Among other things, she had been repeatedly shocked by electric collars.
I am sure that many dog owners are not aware how their dog’s health could be affected by wearing an electric shock collar or by keeping them in the yard with an electric fence.
But there it was.
Boo had been shocked so many times she had become sensitive to EMFs and was recovering from not just one cancer surgery on her head but is scheduled for another operation for cancer in her leg in two weeks.
We have to remember that our body – and the body of animals – is electrical. We all have heart rhythms and brain waves. Every biological process in the body can be disrupted by EMFs.
You can read for yourself what the National Cancer Institute has to say about EMFs at this link.
Although there are many devices that protect both pets and humans against EMF exposure, the truth is that different devices work for different individuals.
I used kinesiology to figure out which EMF device would help Boo and recommended that the dog trainer also purchase a device to measure the exact among of EMF exposure in her home, as I found that her two other dogs also had high exposure to EMFs and I did not want the dog trainer herself to become ill.
Researchers at Colorado State University of Veterinary Medicine who studied 230 dogs with lymphoma found a high correlation of cancer in those who had been exposed to high levels of EMFs. Some researchers even believe that our dogs are like canaries in coal mines and can alert us to environmental stress that may make human family members sick.
The dog trainer already knew from professional experience that both shock collars and electric fences are bad for dogs and had been strongly advising all her clients to avoid them. Now she was learning the lesson at an even deeper level.
I am always so thankful to be a medical intuitive and kinesiologist. Only by asking the body can we uncover the true root causes of illness.
Please do not use a microwave oven to defrost, cook or reheat anything that you plan to feed yourself or any of your pets.
Please stop controlling your dogs with shock collars and electric fences.
What is healing? Healing happens when we make the connection between the health of our environment and the health of our families, loved ones and pets.
Shielded clothes for people already exist(http://emfclothing.com) so need to do something similar for dogs!
Hi Jhon, I don’t usually allow links to product sales but in your case I fully support what you are doing. When I have clients who are sensitive to EMFs I usually ask for guidance about what protective measures they take. Q link necklaces and Wave Shield protectors for cell phones are very helpful as well. Thanks for all you do to help sensitive people live in this world! Love and light, Catherine Carrigan
It’s interesting how you do that. I have been suffering with neck spasms for 22 years. I finally got a video of myself, but no doctor wouldn’t investigate what is happening to me.
My name is Derrick
Hi Derrick, I just worked with a client who had neck spasms this past week. Like you she has been suffering for years. If you would like help with that, give me a ring at 678-612-8816. Catherine Carrigan
Hello Catherine, Thanks for the helpful article! Thanks for all that you do!! I wanted to share a recent EMF discovery in our home. My whippet, Otto started developing lots of bumps all over, and eventually one of them tested positive for cancer. After a recent visit to my acupuncturist (for myself), she sent me home with a “stetzerizer” meter which is used to test the EMFs coming out of your wall outlets. Anything over 50 is hazardous. 3 of the outlets in my house were way over the 50 mark, the very worst offender being at 660. That outlet is directly behind Otto’s bed!! Additionally, I realized that his bed is also directly under the smart-meter on the outside wall (our electric company installed these about 5 years ago in all the houses – it transmits the meter reading, and emits heavy EMFs). No wonder he has cancer, and is riddled with lumps. He has been pummeled by EMFs for the last 4 years. I was able to order an EMF neutralizer for the “bad” outlets in the house, and a cloth to hang on the inside wall, opposite the smart-meter, which blocks the EMFs from coming into the house. People should know how much added danger is leaking out of their wall outlets. I had no idea. 🙁
Dear Gina, First of all I am SO sorry about your whippet Otto. My dog Dixie is my constant companion. My heart goes out to you and Otto. I have done medical intuitive readings not only of course with humans but also with animals and babies. I have the greatest compassion for animals and for little babies who are not capable of directly communicating to us about what they are feeling, what they need and what they want. When I lost my dog Belle in July 2015 I was practically nonfunctional for about two weeks. Even though I adore Dixie, I still miss my Belle Belle every day of my life! Dogs are the best!
At any rate, the information you are sharing about the EMFs coming out of the wall outlets and how they have affected Otto is very important for all dog owners to know about.
Many pets sleep in utility rooms where they are exposed to all manner of EMFs.
Many humans are also unaware of how much their minds and bodies are affected not only by EMFs but by other forms of geopathic stress. I explained this in my article What Is Geopathic Stress that you can read at this link: https://catherinecarrigan.com/what-is-geopathic-stress/
We sometimes forget that our environment is the most powerful factor affecting our health. Sending you and Otto love and light, Catherine Carrigan
great article
Hi Susan, Thank you so much for reading my blog! Love and light, Catherine Carrigan
Our absolute darling lab/boxer got cancer (very large growth- baseball sized) in the neck and passed away within a month. The growth seemed to appear overnight. Unfortunately she wore an Invisible Fence collar most of her life. After she was quickly trained I always kept it on her neck very loose to be comfortable but I can imagine the amount of EMFs or just radiation from that much metal being near her body probably damaged cells. The reason we opted for an underground fence was due to wanting her to be free all day every day. For those of you that don’t know, those collars give a warning beep if they get close to edge, then a slight tingle if they get closer to edge then a shock if they get to the edge. There are also visual trainers (flags) to warn dog of the edge. So the dog learns fast and then has a blissful life of freedom. I do wish I took her collar off a lot more often. She only lived for 10 years and our family was devastated. This article makes me wonder if it was the collar that contributed to her cancer. Thank you for your important article. I write this with my EMF device.
Dear Danielle, My heart breaks for you reading this story. Our dogs are truly our BFFs. We do our best to protect them and keep them healthy. I am hoping that you sharing this story encourages other dog owners to inquire about better ways to keep their dogs safe. My cocker spaniel Dixie does not have a fenced in yard. As a result, she and I are out walking – rain, sleet, snow and shine! Whenever Dixie and I are out walking in the rain and I spy a beautiful owl hiding in the mist I am reminded how lucky I am to have to take care of my dear companion in this way rather than just letting her out to do her business in a fenced-in yard. There are unexpected blessings when we personally walk our dogs. I am sorry for your loss and sending you love and light, Catherine Carrigan
I also took her for long nature walks on and off leash all the time- at least once a week. I am a nature walk lover. Don’t want you/others to think I just “let her out to do her business”. She had a very blessed life and went in and out literally whenever she wanted as I am a stay at home mom. She had about 2 acres of freedom to play for hours a day. I wish she had more than that but that’s all we have and live near a fairly busy road.
She had a wonderful life! You two were lucky to be together in the time you had. I still miss my old dog Belle. Even though I adore my cocker spaniel Dixie, there is not a day that goes by that I don’t miss my Belle. She was so sweet. We were attached at the hip! The unconditional love we give and receive from our dogs transcends all space and time! Love and light to you, Catherine Carrigan
Yes, she did and yes we were! 🙂 Oh and actually, I googled dog collar and cancer to see if there was a correlation and that’s how I found this article. I didn’t find much else but I suspect it will be realized more and more that EMFs and metal on our bodies (human, canine, etc) could result in cancer and who knows what else. I’ve tried to quit having a cell phone numerous times but it is almost impossible being a Mom nowadays. 🙁 I put it down or on airplane mode often but not often enough, admittedly. My dream life is off-grid. 😉 Oh and I have seen an owl hiding on a walk too. So cool! One that flew right over my head while driving once as well!
