Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I always try to get exit row seats but last time I flew American they were only available to Economy Plus passengers ($500 more expensive!). I never, ever sleep on planes. The first time I flew between UK and Hawaii I took a sleeping pill but still ended up awake for 48 hours (could sleep the day after either). Now realize the radiation probably disrupted my melatonin production. This world is becoming more and more difficult to live in......

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Conrad recommends a particular brand of inositol for sleep and emf resistance. I've found it helps w/ sleep. Have not tried on a plane. I flew southwest recently. They had wi-fi, but I did OK. My strategy now is to get on when there are only about 10 seats left, so you can choose a seat without computer users next to you.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hi Aline, If you have not purchased a silverall hoodie from Less EMF, I personally would not recommend one. They are very expensive and the fabric is very flim flam for an item of clothing. Also, if you are trying to block Electro of the EMF, I believe the fabric has to be grounded??? I suggest purchasing some fabric, preferrably reflective, such as ArgenMesh -- enough to put over the back of the seat and enough to put over your body like a blanket to hide under. Whether any of these fabrics, if not grounded, will block the EMF coming from the screens, I do not know. But I made wide use of ArgenMesh during my trip to Los Angeles, the very pit of cell tower radiation. It is like the lining in your coat: very light weight so that you can fold it easily and put it in your suitcase and it hardly takes up any room and weights very little. But remember these fabrics should not make contact with your skin. Maybe put a sheet betweeen it. So now, you can block your whole body, head to toe, from whatever RH is flying around inside the plane and you can also use it when you get to the hotel to put over your blankets on your bed, to drape on the wall to block whatever RH might be coming thru the window, etc. In my opinion, a much better investment for a trip. You can also line a cape with it. Of course, the silverall hoodie has its applications as well. I make no guarantee that your travelling partner will not call you a crazy nut though. ALSO.......remember that the safest part of the plane is the front and over the wings. The back of the plane is the least safe part of the plane according to crash data statistics. And if you have MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity) like I do, the back of the plane is the worst for smells. You get hit with fumes from the toilet and also the jet fuel fumes. So things to consider. Happy Flying C.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 > The back of the plane is the least safe part of the plane according to crash data statistics. Really? I thought that most of the survivors of plane crashes were in the back of the plane. But of course, this is off-topic... :-) I only choose the back of the plane because there is no chance that there will be someone behind me with nasty electronics. Depending on the airplane seating configuration, there may be other good places to sit that keeps you away from the electronics that people bring with them.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yes I didn't get much out of the silver camosol I purchased from lessemf. But I was thinking if you double up on them maybe they work better. But yes expensive trial.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Well, she's merely replying to different topics -- it does take more effort for someone to reply to multiple e-mails in a single e-mail. And then the " thread " of discussion is lost for those later following it via 's web interface. But yes, consolidating things into a single e-mail can be preferable to a series of one-liner messages. Also, taking the time to edit the message you are replying to (as I have done below) is *supposed* to be done on email discussion groups, but very few people seem to do this anymore.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yes I'm not talking like twitter and chat box which I find offensive . But you have been quite rude in the past with others as well.  I only comment on what others are talking about. Not just jibberish.  Thanks Marc. I do go in spurts. Sometimes I can't tolerate the computer at all and then I will read some posts and find I would like to participate. It may look like a lot of posts but others I have noticed do the same.  My posts are usually very short because I can't tolerate the computer for long as well.  Just sayin! Loni > Hello Loni, > this is a forum, not a chat box or Twitter.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Thanks C (?), that is some very helpful info. I like the idea of covering the back of my seat with it! I'm traveling alone (an urgent family visit - I wouldn't put myself through this for pleasure). I'm beyond caring what anyone thinks! It's quite likely the plane will not be full as it's low season so I may even get to lie down. I know it won't block electro-magetic fields but are you saying it won't block electric fields unless it is grounded? And how do electric fields differ on a plane vs from the grid?

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I quite agree with you and see how posts that could help people are literally buried under 'chit chat'. It never used to be a few years ago. People come here often disabled and suffering from the effects of the technology that is killing them and because of it of course many are unable to work and don't have money for expensive things that may not work. It's a good point you made.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Gosh, I was under the impression that esens was a support group. Yes, we do have to read and wade thru various writings to mine the gold that speaks to specific issues. And yes, some solutions can be pricey. But the true blame is on corporate corruption; that we should have to spend precious time/energy UN DOING the damage caused by profiteering monsters. And for way too many, smart meters and their mega biological assaults were NOT an issue a few years ago. Lizzie From: maureenan2@...

Yes, is a support group. If someone is looking for a more concise/ organized/structured document, then they should be looking for a website or a book. I agree that some of the postings here could be improved: - one-liner responses replaced with something more substantial or consolidated into single messages - not replying to everything if there is nothing really new to add - better trimming of original messages when hitting " reply " Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I hear good things about the Argen Mesh fabric at 60% attenuation. So far, I've only tried the Soft N Safe fabric (50% attenuation). It is rose colored and very feminine, flowing... It was the first thing to work for me, made me somewhat sane in public again. I must fold it one time for it to work. If I fold it more than once, it seems to be too much and singled it still lets in more radio waves than I can stand. I have yet to try the others as Loni said they are very expensive. I tried to have it made into a jumper but it seemed like too much. Plus, I'll have to have my seamstress add some high performance silver mesh over the seams. There's still way too much leakage. I read where Bill Bruno talks about seam leakage. Wow...unreal. Does anyone enjoy this yet?  I found the cloak to be most helpful. I intend to expound upon that design and see if it can be improved upon. The bad thing is that the fabric, as pretty as it appears from a distance, doesn't hold up well. It's antimicrobial but stains easily, is difficult to handwash and they say you can't wash it often or it will lose its effectiveness. So... but I do intend to keep trying until I find the right combination. Lessemf fabrics are still much less expensive than Swiss Shield fabrics which don't even have as much attenuation. Good Luck. I'm suppose to fly for the first time since 1999 and prior to coming down with EHS. From listening to you all, I'm not looking forward to it. But my trip should only be about 2 hours to Florida if that long. Peace.  Pam From: alinepapille <haikuron@...> Subject: Flying American Airlines Date: Monday, October 3, 2011, 7:16 PM  Hi, Air travel has become more and more difficult for me in recent years and I am going to have to make a trip from Hawaii to the UK (aaaagh).
