Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi everyone havnt posted in a while. I live on the same block as 2 cell towers and a 3 story building called earth connections which has a few big satelite recievers that are visible on the roof and there may also have antennas. They are like half a block from my house and my room is on the side of the house closest to them. I had painted my room with y-shield about 2 years ago grounded to a 5ft ground rod outside and also tried it ungrounded but both ways made things worse. The best way I can explain it is that it felt like some of the radiation was blocked but a portion was amplified and made worse. It was more intolerable to be inside the room with the paint than when it didnt have the paint. After about 1 year of sleeping in that room I stripped the paint and felt better. Ive also tried sleeping with a copper fabric blanket grounded and ungrounded and it was very similar feeling but more intense to when I was sleeping in the room with the y-shield. Ive had some mild success with the naturashield fabric and copper fabric only when covering certain parts of my body but not as a blanket. I figured that my unsuccesful attempts at shielding were maybe because Ive been using materials that reflect rf and my understanding is that they can cause resonances and if there is a leak then those waves can bounce around inside until they are absorbed. Now my next attempt is by using materials that will absorb the rf waves instead. I figured an absorptive material should not cause these problems and it doesnt need to be grounded. So I bought a queen loft bed which is basically a bunk bed without the bottom bunk. My plan was too cover it on every side with cement board and sleep inside on the bottom. I started by covering the top with two hardibacker 500 cementboards I already had and there was about a 10% drop on the readings on my rf meter. So I slept under this for a week and its actually somewhat worse! Similar to how it was in the room with the paint. I decided to try some natural stone slate tile on top which Ive been sleeping under for about 1 week now and same! It just feels more uncomfortable, at first it felt like there was a noticeable decrease in symptoms like the fields just got quieter but after a while of being under there it got more uncomfortable , also the slight high pitched ringing in my ears is louder and much more noticeable. This does not give me hope that covering all sides will make things better or that an absorption approach will work. Ive slept in the living room which is on the side of the house furthest from the cell towers and is about 20 feet away from my room. I feel more comfortable there the only thing I could explain is that the extra drywall is absorbing more of the rf fields. The rf readings are slightly lower there than in my room like 10-20% lower. So my understanding is that cell phone signals and the like are composed of a carrier signal which is usually high frequency and the modulated signal which is a lower frequency. The modulated signal being what affects us the most. When we are shielding we are shielding the r signal right? So is it possible that the modulated signal is not being blocked or absorbed and possible made more powerful in some way? The rf signal is composed also of a electric and a magnetic portion is maybe the electric portion being absorbed and not the magnetic? -Cris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
