RE: A great email about EMFs

[Guest guest]

Hi Joanne,

I forwarded this to dh and he wants more information - yeah! I'm not for

sure who Sara is but was wondering if she would share the brand of meter she

uses to test around her house.

Subject: A great email about EMFs

Hi All

Today I remembered this email from Sara, and decided to give it another

reads though to remind myself of some of the things I can do regarding EMFs.

And then I thought that would be a great one to forward to the group. I know

some of you saw this last time around but for newcomers there is some very

useful info here

researched them all and tried flavors of all of them. We are actually on a

hybrid Bees and GAPS since we avoid fruits, honey, and limit the sweeter

vegetables like winter squash. After 2.5 years of avoiding all dairy, all

fruit, and nuts, we currently do a very very minute amount of bread made

from ground seeds and nuts since my husband has proven to be very deficient

in all sorts of amino acids, and we also have worked up to several

tablespoons of home made sour cream that has been incubated for 36 hours

with yogurt starter.

>

> I am more than happy to discuss the issue of EMFs and dirty power more

because I remember how desperate we were when my husband was in quick

decline and we couldn't figure things out. My husband gets very depressed

about his condition and feels like his world has diminished so much. He is

also very chemical sensitive and has not had a real job for 3 years. For so

many years, we were just guessing at what was wrong, and when we tried this

supplement or removing that item, it only helped marginally. With all the

cell towers being erected constantly, better and better wifi networks and

technology to boost the signals, and those water smartmeters getting

installed, I feel like we as a society is really in for a lot of pain if we

don't quickly realize all the health issues these items are causing.

>

> I've been reading how in the UK, there has been a lot of protest regarding

cell towers going up and they believe there's a link between the high rate

of suicides in certain areas and cancers to the cell towers. I read an

article recently about how some Canadian mothers are thinking of keeping

their child from school on Wednesdays so the child can have a break from the

wifi. For some reason, I feel like we are much slower to catch on over here

in the US. With most mainstream folks, I rarely discuss this or our diet,

because they always act like we're nuts.

>

> What we have done is to eliminate all the high radiation (electromagnetic

and electric radiation) items in our household, and all items that are

especially high in dirty power. For the electromagnetic and electric

radiation, we have a Trifield meter that takes decent measurements. Most

items with a strong motor (think noisy) will be fairly high in

electromagnetic radiation.

>

> Some of the common items that test high include:

>

> Vacuum cleaner (this tested high in electromagnetic radiation as well as

dirty power) -- we are currently using a roomba, which does not do as good a

job, but okay enough.

>

> Hair dryer - we simply air dry. There's a low EMF hair dryer out on the

market that I've seen.

>

> Hair clipper - we haven't been able to find one that works yet. I am about

to throw in the towel and learn to cut my husband's hair with shears.

>

> Shaver - my husband went back to a regular razor

>

> Waterpik - this tested very high in electromagnetic radiation and we've

been hurting since we stopped using this. We are planning to take it apart

and try shielding it with some shielding foil we found online.

>

> Rototiller -- my husband was sick for 4 days after we tried to set up some

raised beds before we realized we had forgotten to test it. It was high in

pretty much everything including dirty power.

>

> Computers -- this can really vary. Apparently, some companies do a better

job of shielding the equipment. We are currently using apple monitors, which

actually were the most decent of the monitors we tested, and apple laptops.

My Dell laptop issued from work tested very high in dirty power, but I was

able to find a different adapter/charger that was low enough to work. If

possible, don't keep wires and cables near your body. We have everything

wired to go into an equipment rack that sits across the room from my

husband. If using your monitor, make sure you stay a foot or two away.

Monitors have high electromagnetic radiation, but seems to dropoff pretty

quickly.

>

> Phone -- if you are using a cordless phone, this can be as bad as the cell

phones as they are pretty powerful these days and engineered so you can step

into your backyard and still make a call. My husband is so sensitive that

even though we only use a corded phone, he has not been able to use it.

We've even tested him out with a headset. He is currently making calls

through Skype on his computer with no speakers or microphones (he uses the

one in his apple monitor), basically two feet or so away, with nothing

touching his head when making calls.

>

> Fluorescent and compact fluorescent bulbs -- these are extremely high in

dirty power. It has something to do with the mechanics with how they work,

which I can explain more if you're interested. We actually went with no

artificial lights altogether and have several LED lanterns that we use

around the house. These we run with rechargeable batteries that we charge in

a remote room upstairs.

>

> Some things that test high, we've kept if we are able to use it in a

reasonable manner. For example, the stove emits high electrical radiation,

but my husband stays away from it when I'm cooking. The food processor emits

high electromagnetic radiation, so I try to turn it on, step back, and then

turn it off.

>

> We also own a dirty power meter/tester which my husband thought was

completely hokey until I purchased it and found out about the UPS. We

actually had 2 other older brands of UPS (uninterrupted power supply, also

known as battery backup) in our house and they both tested extremely high.

The thing that gets me is that the year that we first got a UPS for our home

was the very year my husband was diagnosed with bipolar. We've also noticed

that the bipolar will flare up when he's been zapped. When we inadvertently

zapped my husband with the rototiller, he not only had bad fibro pain for 2

days, he went manic for 4 days. We've given up the UPS as well and simply go

without any kind of electrical backup for our computers right now.

>

> We keep most of our electrical items unplugged unless we need them. We

also turn off the power circuit to the rooms we sleep in (my husband and I

sleep in adjoining rooms since he is so sensitive to sound and has so many

sleep issues). We have only 7 of our 16 house circuits on during the day --

we keep on the central air, fridges, freezer, and computer room circuits

during the day. At night, the water heater and computer room gets turned

off, so we operate at 5 of the 16 when we go to bed. The dedicated circuits

for the dishwasher, dryer, and washer all are turned off and only get turned

on for the hour or two we use the appliance when we need them.

>

> One more thing -- cars are very high in electromagnetic radiation in the

front seats. People sensitive to EMFs recommend a pared down car with the

least amount of automatic features and computer as possible. My husband sits

in the back when we go out to the park.
