Re: Do laptops or desktops give the most EMFS?

It depends on how bad the laptop is, how susceptible you are

to the EMF it is producing, and how much you want to use it.

For a good laptop and a healthy person who doesn't use it

much, the laptop may not be causing any problem at all, and

you wouldn't have to spend anything. At the other extreme, a

very sensitive person with a bad laptop who wants to use it

10 hours a day may not be able to withstand it even if you

spend $1000 of EMF protection.

Of the items I mentioned, I'd try things in the following order:

Quantum Byte software (free trial, otherwise < $100)

Springlife Pendant (place on laptop or you or on power cord) (< $100)

Quantum Power conditioner (plug power cord into this) ($30)

Tachyon silica discs or wrist bands (place on laptop or you or on power cord)

($20 - $40)

Quantum Home (place next to laptop or close to power outlet) ($300)

But again, you face the possibility that none of these will work.

Distancing yourself from the source is a more reliable method,

and requires less experimentation.

I'm the type that would have it on in front of me for 10 hours a day.

In my case and since distance is more reliable, do you think it would

be a better choice for me to use a desktop at a distance?

I think it's a safer choice -- I'd only recommend trying to make a

laptop work if you had some important reason why you have to use a

laptop (e.g., portability).

Otherwise, use a desktop and an LCD monitor and put the monitor at

the back of your desk... just make sure that you can read it from

that distance at the resolution you want to use!

Portability isn't real important to me. But why LCD? I have a 57 inch

Rear Projection CRT HDTV. Would I be able to safely use that as my

monitor at a distance of about 6 feet?

Yes, certainly... I just said LCD on the assumption you were using

a desk with limited depth.

So a TV that size won't give off enough EMFs to reach me 6 feet away?

And what do you think about wireless internet? I'm currently using a

wireless router to connect both my PCs and some other devices to the

internet. Should I have long cords running through the house instead?

[Guest guest]

I don't have any experience with rear projection CRT, so I don't know

how bad it is 6 feet away. Has anyone compared these to LCD TVs?

Wireless internet does seem to cause people more problems than Ethernet

cables. If you can turn off the transmitter on your router and use cords

instead, that would probably be healthier.

Are you using wireless internet? And I think Rear Projection CRTs are

similar to CRT PC monitors? So it should be something like sitting 6

feet from a CRT computer monitor. How would that be?

[Guest guest]

I only use wireless internet in hotels, not at home.

I don't think rear projection CRT is the same as a regular

CRT. I think rear projection might actually be more

tolerable than a regular CRT, but I'm not sure.

When I was super-sensitive, I got symptoms even when

I was 10 feet away from a 32 " CRT. However, after

my health improved this was no longer a problem.

If you got symptoms 10 feet way, then the EMFs must reach pretty far.

Maybe 6 feet isn't a safe distance? I know I never feel discomfort

when using my rear projection TV at 6 feet away, but I do feel some

when using my computer 2 feet away, even though I have been for a very

long time.
