From the team behind the multi-award-winning EMR Sensitivity Ltd, featured through articles and press coverage in Brainz Magazine, the Areca Plus Card™ introduces a frequency-based wellbeing approach designed to support resilience in today's increasingly connected world.

As modern life becomes ever more shaped by screens, wireless connectivity, and constant digital stimulation, a growing number of adults, children, and even pets report symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, headaches, muscular tension, widespread aches and pains, reduced concentration, sleep disruption, and heightened nervous system sensitivity.


While these symptoms can have many contributing factors, current research and clinical observation increasingly point to chronic environmental load – including electromagnetic exposure – as a potential contributor to nervous system overload for some individuals. Supporting nervous system resilience and reducing unnecessary environmental stress are now widely recognised as important priorities in modern wellbeing.


Context and medical awareness


As awareness grows, several medical voices have called for greater public education on environmental health factors. As French oncologist Professor Dominique Belpomme has stated:


"We have long since moved beyond the stage of doubt. It has therefore become essential to inform the public. This is the duty of all physicians."


This perspective reflects a broader shift toward acknowledging and openly discussing the impact of modern environmental stressors on human health.


A shift in language and awareness


This evolving understanding is also being reflected in language. In early 2025, the OneName Project proposed the term electromagnetic radiation (EMR) syndrome to describe a growing cluster of symptoms linked to chronic digital and electromagnetic exposure – signalling a broader effort to bring clarity, recognition, and constructive dialogue to what is often referred to as the "disease of the digital age".


A frequency-based approach to modern environmental stress


In response to this shifting landscape, the Areca Plus Card™ has been developed as a frequency-based wellbeing support, designed to promote coherence, balance, and adaptability within the modern electromagnetic environment. The technology is positioned not as a means of avoiding technology, but as a complementary tool that supports the body's capacity to regulate and respond more effectively within it.


A technology shaped by lived experience


The origins of the Areca Plus Card™ are rooted not in theory alone, but in lived clinical and personal experience.


In the early 2000s, naturopathic health practitioner Jean-Marc Degioanni, founder of Infinity Alignment Therapy, began experiencing profound physical and neurological distress – symptoms later recognised as severe electromagnetic sensitivity. This period coincided with the rapid global expansion of mobile phones and wireless technologies, introducing unprecedented levels of stimulation into daily life.


As an experienced energy therapist and long-standing meditation practitioner, Jean-Marc regularly worked with meditative and regulatory practices. During this time, his meditative work deepened significantly, allowing new insights to emerge around adaptation, coherence, and the body's response to an increasingly complex electromagnetic environment.


From this work emerged an early EMR-neutralising card known as Open to Receive, which was developed, produced, and used in practice. As understanding evolved and the technology was refined, this original card became the foundation for what is now known as the Areca Plus Card™.


From concept to Areca Plus Card™


Over time, the technology evolved into its current form. The Areca Plus Card™ incorporates symbolic and functional design elements – including a heart motif and a gold-toned grid – that reflect principles of coherence, integration, and balance.


Rather than relying solely on physical shielding, the Areca Plus Card™ is positioned as a non-invasive, frequency-based wellbeing tool informed by principles explored in coherence theory, biofield research, and nervous system regulation. As awareness grew, the technology attracted interest beyond the wellbeing sector, including early engagement from international telecommunications organisations (names undisclosed).


Designed for modern life


The Areca Plus Card™ now sits within a broader ecosystem of supportive tools, including the Areca Plus Necklace™, Kayra Infinity Bracelet™, and Pet Shield+, developed to support people and companion animals living in highly connected environments.


The Areca Plus Card™ is independently certified to meet European safety standards for materials suitable for children of all ages, reflecting the company's commitment to safety, responsibility, and long-term wellbeing.


An upcoming innovation will also see the technology integrated into a plush comfort-support toy designed specifically for infants and young children, helping establish healthier habits from early life onward.


The Areca Plus Card™ is positioned as a complementary wellbeing support, not a medical device, and is intended to work alongside informed lifestyle choices and professional guidance.


"This isn't about fear – it's about empowerment," says Jean-Marc Degioanni.


"We can't remove technology from modern life, but we can support the body's ability to adapt. Areca Plus was designed to help people feel calmer, more grounded, and more resilient in an increasingly connected world."


As digital exposure becomes unavoidable, clear language helps shift the conversation from dismissal to awareness – and from confusion to informed action.
