Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Reading all of these recent posts leaves me feeling a bit discouraged, perhaps because I wish there were easier answers. I am one of those people taking iodine (for fibromyalgia) with excellent preliminary results. I do believe that we (in America) get something like 30x less than the Japanese who do not seem to get fibromyalgia, fibrocystic disease, chronic fatigue or breast cancer the way that we do. There has been some excellent research on it, but of course, we are all different. I think the idea that one size fits all is perhaps the hardest lesson we have had to unlearn. And, for sure, much of the antecdotal information we see on line has the ring of " umbrellas cause rain " thinking. At best, they can hint at an area of exploration. From what I read, the " poisonous " nature of oxalic acid is exactly why it seems to work on cancer patients. Chemo is much more poisonous than this, but the idea is much the same, on a natural scale. I, at least, want to keep an open mind about it. But I love the spirited discussions on this site. Good show and thanks to everyone for sharing their ideas and research. A lot to think about. I wish that the FDA, the doctors and the medical establishment shared our spirit of wholeness in this.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Good rule of thumb is to be at least 4 feet away from an electrical source, including wiring in the walls, which sends out a magnetic field - move your bed into the centre of the room at night or better still turn off as many fuses as you can in your fusebox. The magnetic field reading appears to be exponential, very high close up to vacuum cleaners, heaters, hairdryers, etc then dropping rapidly. What make is your meter? The trifield one is great its frequency weighted, which means that it picks up on the fact that a doubling in frequency of magnetic fields doubles the energy, ie say you are picking up 1mG at 50hz, if it is 100hz should be 2mG, but if not frequency weighted will still show 1mG. http://www.trifield.com/content/the-trifield-meter/ " A TriField meter, when exposed to a 3 milligauss field, will read " 3 " if the frequency of the field is 60 Hz, but it will read " 6 " if the 3 milligauss field is at 120 Hz. In contrast, a non-frequency-weighted (the flat response version of the TriField) meter will read " 3 " in both cases, and a 60 Hz-only meter will read " 3 " and " 0 " respectively (even though in the 120 Hz case, the current induced in a conductive body is twice as much.) " Another thing is that most meters dont measure the intermediate frequency fields (1khz to 1mhz kicked out by appliances such as computers, tvs etc. Also probably missing out on measuring the dirty electricity, radiofrequencies carried in on wiring. Electrosensitives can be sensitive to much lower levels than 0.5mG. You will also need a rf meter, the Cornet is good value, to measure wireless, DECT phone and cellphone/basestation radiation Also measures the police's channel TETRA at 400mhz. http://www.cornetmicrosystems.com/ Would recommend the ED85EX £119.99 which will measure from 1mhz- 8ghz using different antennae, great value for money. I have this and the ED25G £69.99 Hope this helps, Charlie From: Rixta Francis <rixta.francis@...> Subject: more questions than answers Date: Monday, 27 September, 2010, 4:00  Earlier this year I diagnosed myself with EMS and some simple measures I took had effect, which to me proved that I was right. But to know better what to do I bought a Gauss meter and to my big surprise the EMF levels inside the house are very low, at most places less than 0.5 mG. Only the fridge and microwave give much higher readings, but I don't spend half days stuck to the fridge. So what should I do with this information? I'm still convinced I have EMS. Maybe the low readings are still too high for me because I also have ME/CFS? Unfortunately I can't compare it with my old living environment. Anyone any ideas, tips, suggestions, information? I'm quite confused. Regards, Rixta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Gauss meter only reads a limited amount of EMF. For example, it won't register EMF coming from cell phone towers, Wi-Fi, cordless phones, TV/radio/satellite, RF noise on your power lines, etc. So eyou could have a lot of EMF problems without your Gauss meter indicating it!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Yes, you need a microwave detector, RF detector and a Gauss meter. In fact if you have a really good RF detector, you might not need the Gauss meter, since there is always some RF on the lines. But most RF detectors are not good enough. The " POWERLINE NOISE FINDER " at LessEMF is very sensitive (0.3 microVolt!). I have it connected to a Yagi antenna and so far am very pleased and excited. I did get ill using it, but the fields were pretty strong where I was testing. I did not react when I first started using it. I found that a couple of neighbor's houses are emitting tons of RF. I think it is from solar inverters tied to the grid. If anyone has experience mitigating those, please let me know...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I made a simple ankle band from metal chain, connected that to basic electrical wire and got the wire outside into the ground. After getting worse and worse for a long time within a few days I started to feel considerably better. The change was way too significant to be attributed to imagination or psychological effects.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Well I change them but it still goes off fairly quickly thereafter?  Not sure what I can do about it.  Loni  From: Marc <marc@...> Subject: Re: more questions than answers Date: Monday, September 27, 2010, 7:07 PM  > When I turn off the electric in my house the fire alarms eventually go > off.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I also have several meters. 1.microwave/rf meter: to detect cell towers 2.gaussmeter: for powerline magnetic fields 3.Stetzerizer Meter: for dirty electricity In my last hotel, I changed rooms to avoid the roof-top cell tower, but then ended up having a room with high powerline magnetic fields 2-4 mG, and eventually started feeling it. It was like my joints were being impacted. When I left the room I would feel better.

There are different types of smoke detectors -- one requires power from the house, while others depend purely on batteries. If you replace your current smoke detectors with ones that run only on batteries, they won't care if your house power is on or not.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 you can take them out and replace them with battery operated ones.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'm also focusing more on grounding since 4 days, different activities: barefoot walking in forest sitting with barefeet in mud grounded cable attach to body It's kinda early to talk about results, but at first it seems like I benefit from it too. Sue also had very good results with sleeping grounded... And Diane in the past too with walking barefoot in forest and in river. . > > I know that grounding works for me, but so far it has only very > limited effect.
