Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hi CJ, No, there was no direct research suggesting the hat was important, but there was some inference on my part. I had been studying the pineal gland and felt that something must be suppressing the pineal gland in CFS. This is because both MSH and DMT are produced by the pineal, along with melatonin, and all three of these master hormones seem to be low in CFS. So there was some weak logic behind selection of the cap. Interestingly enough, my mood was the first improvement with the cap, which I think could be due to improved DMT. I am less sensitive to mold, and tolerate detox/herx much better with the cap, and that could be due to improved MSH. And I do also sleep better, so melatonin may be better. OK, this is no controlled scientific study, but at an amateur level, this does seem to support the contention that the pineal gland is suppressed by something in CFS, and perhaps by EMF. I also am now using a mesh EMF-blocking shirt, and that helps, but the cap is more important. Here is an example of what is happening to me. Today I went on a walk with my 8 year old son. We went about a quarter mile. Three months ago, before I started wearing the hat I could not walk more than 100 ft without resting, and that had been true for about five years. --Kurt Kurt re: EMF I checked out your Blog Kurt & was interested in your experiences with EMF shielding. I am having my new living situation checked out with EMF readings on Monday. I wnant ot make sure my living space is as healthy & safe as possible. I was wondering why you chose the cap as a protection first before any other article of clothing. Did you find some research that the head was more important to protect than other parts of the body outside? Thanks for any info you can share.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Thanks for your feedback Kurt. Do you wear you hat all the time & inside the house too? Sleep with it on? I am going to get some EMF readings tomorrow on this house. I bought a plug in device that is supposed to ground & help with EMF, but so far I have not noticed anything. I did not sleep well & my cats did not graviate towards it like someone ont heir website posted. Luckily there is a 90 return policy. I am worried about the EMF field from my laptop computer that I am on much of the time. But the guy at LessEMF said I had to totally enclose it in their metal mesh fabric to block it. I have to figure out a way to get at the CD & floppy disc openings & the plugs in the back. Sounds like a big project to me. I spend most of my time in my recliner or in bed & am trying to make those areas safer. Have you tried to ground your bed or any other electical field or EMF preventions? I am going to try to cover some cords in their material & some of the chargers for my laptop & modem etc. I keep trying to find new ways to make a healing environment as my finances permit. I think I might order a cap from them, hope it helps my sleep. I sure hope it is as dramatic an effect on me as has been your experience. I can use all the help in healing I can get. Thanks again for sharing your info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Yes, I wear the hat in the house during the day, particularly when using the computer. I also make sure to wear the hat if someone near me is using a cell phone. The hat helps a great deal then. Also, I find it very helpful when riding in the car. No, I do not wear it at night, I don't think that is a good idea because microwave signals from cell towers are directional and when laying down the hat could be a parabolic reflector capturing signals rather than blocking them. Also, there is much less cell traffic at night. So I only wear the hat when I am in a vertical or semi-vertical position. I do have a mesh EMF-blocking t-shirt cover that I wear at night though, and that also seems to help. I wear it also during the day sometimes, particularly when out of the house. I have not tried the grounding products, but would be careful about those as there is a strong charge sometimes moving through the ground, particularly if you are near a power plant. (power plants pull part of their current through the ground, it is not all in the wires.) Hope this helps. I don't know if others can get the same benefits I am experiencing, but can not imagine that the microwave signals from cell phones are good for anyone. After all, they are at a 15 cm wavelength that will cause them to resonate in the human skull (which is typically about 15 cm wide). The high signal frequency also could be a problem, possibly interfering with the brain of people who have high metal load, as do so many PWC. --Kurt Re: Kurt re: EMF Thanks for your feedback Kurt.
