PS not wanting to teach Grandmother to suck eggs, but you don't have a DECT

digital cordless phone in your home do you (or close neighbour)? As you

probably know - that will most likely floor you :-( Again my home page goes

Hello everyone

Apologies for not being at the forum for a good while and only posting now

but I

haven't been at the forum for good reason - i have lost my internet

connection

and am having to make the transition from dial up (which I could use so kept

despite paying through the nose for a very poor service) to broadband - my

only

problem is it all seems to be done via wireless hubs and things like that. I

had

hoped to get an adsl voice router from BT ( i think it is called a voyager

220v)

which my Dad uses at his house and which I know I can use without too much

pain

but they don't do this any more and say that in order to get broadband from

them

I would have to get one of their wireless hubs. I tentatively raised my

health

concerns about wireless broadband with the guy I spoke to on the phone - he

prob

thought I was a total nutter - and he said that if I coneected it using the

USB

cable which is supplied with it and ignored the sim card then that would

effectively convert it into wired broadband (as opposed to wireless) and

there

would not then be any wireless waves in my house.

I am embarassed to admit that I am a tech and pc imbecile and am wondering

can

any of those of you who are tech minded confirm whether the advice he has

given

me is accurate or not . Also I was wondering can anyone advise me how best

to

get broadband (in the UK that is) with least problem for electrosensitives??

I am sorry if I am asking something which has already been dealt with

elsewhere

on the forum but I am emailing from the public library and only have a very

limited time on the computer and didn't have time to check the arcjhive.

My best to you all

Steph

Hi Pamela,

Sorry, I am only online on weekends, so I am just getting to this email!

I use 2 cups (1 pound) of baking soda/ bath. My tub is a standard 3 by 5

feet

and holds about 11 inches of water.

I don't remember the recipe for lemons. One thing here: lemons mess with my

digestive acids a bit too much, so I personally couldn't continue that

therapy.

Alkalized water drops (a supplement which added minerals to raise the pH of

drinking water) worked very well for me, tho. Hydrogen supplements (like

Hydrogen Booster and Mega-H) raise pH too.

Hope this helps you!
