First For Women

“I finally restored my spark!”

Sheila Hansen, 54, spent years watching life pass her by, as she struggled with pain and fatigue. Then a surprising diagnosis turned her life around—for good!

- —As told to Heather Rideout

This is not how I pictured this, thought Sheila Hansen, watching her friends drive off to a party she was too tired to attend. I can’t continue to live this way, watching life pass me by, she said to herself. “I used to be known as ‘Sassy Sheila,’ and now people tell me I have no spark left,” she lamented, heading to bed.

Sick and tired

“A few years ago, neck pain became my constant companion and lack of sleep became my norm, which led to a roller coaster of fluctuatin­g energy,” recalls Sheila. “Soon after, dizziness entered the equation. I was unable to do household chores like vacuuming, and if I tried, I’d be laid up for days. I felt worthless, I hurt all over, I was exhausted…this led to me feeling depressed and depleted.

“I was advised to have injections to lessen the pain, but they didn’t work. I tried medication, but it just made me feel sick. So in January of 2020, I had surgery, but I was still in chronic pain, and by October I was living in my recliner. It was a sad existence. I couldn’t contribute to my family or church and this crushed me.

“In March of 2021, my daughter got a recommenda­tion for Dr. Jessica Payne, a functional medicine practition­er nearby who was also a chiropract­or and nutritioni­st. ‘I was told she could possibly help you,’ my daughter said. I was tired of injections, surgery and pain, but most of all, I was just tired. I looked at my daughter, who would soon have my first grandchild, who I desperatel­y wanted to have the strength to hold, and I told her I’d make an appointmen­t right away.

A total turnaround

“After a thorough examinatio­n, Dr. Jessica determined that my adrenal glands were tapped out and I was overladen with heavy metals—a ‘toxic soup’ that was zapping my energy.

“But the real kicker was when she looked at me and asked me to get out my phone. She held it in front of my face and pressed on my raised arm. It immediatel­y went weak. ‘You’re extremely sensitive to EMF,’ she said. ‘Your phone, Wi-Fi and electronic­s are making you sick.’

“What is this woman talking about? And what is EMF? I thought, but I was intrigued. I considered how I slept

with my phone next to me, always had my Bluetooth on and basically went from my bed to recliner to stare at the TV most of the day.

“I learned that EMFs, or electromag­netic fields, are the invisible poison that disrupts balance in the body. EMFs from electronic­s elevate cortisol levels, and high cortisol taxes the adrenal glands. And all of the injections and fillings I’d had made my body high in heavy metals, and EMFs are attracted to that.

“As I sat in Dr. Jessica’s office listening, I began to cry. My hope was restored. She advised me to wear a multi-polar magnet daily, which she said would make my body less susceptibl­e. She also suggested I purchase some Tesla/EMF crystals to put under my bed or on painful spots on my body. These crystals change EMF wave form from polarized (disruptive) to unpolarize­d (healthy). She told me they do wonders for sleep, which caught my attention. Finally, she asked where the Wi-Fi router was in our home and asked me to turn off the one in my bedroom that night to just see.

“Oddly, I wasn’t skeptical; I so wanted to believe this was the answer to why I was in pain and exhausted all the time. I was willing to try anything.

So I walked out of her office after purchasing a magnet for $20 and a mini-grounding bag of Tesla Crystals/EMF Rocks for $60. At home, my husband turned off the router in our bedroom. And that night, I slept soundly for the first time I could remember.

“I wore my magnet faithfully and my pain began to lessen. I carried my small crystal bag with me and began to notice the difference in how I’d feel if I didn’t have it with me or when I’d go into a high-EMF environmen­t. Before I knew it, I no longer lived through the screen. I was outside living life! Sleep became a familiar friend.

“Under Dr. Jessica’s care, I began juicing celery, a major liver cleanser, and I eliminated dairy to decrease inflammati­on. Within months, my pain, energy and sleep were better. When Dr. Jessica asked, ‘What can you do now that you couldn’t do before?’ I replied, ‘Everything!’

“My granddaugh­ter was born in August, and I can hold her and help my daughter, just as I dreamed I’d be able to do. I’m so grateful for these easy, simple steps so I can once again enjoy my life and do what I want to do!”
