Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi all Looking for thoughts on using an electric blanket.I live in Michigan where the wind chill is gonna be 20 below 0 this weekend. Propane has gotten to 2.89 a gallon here so Im hoping I can turn down the thermostat and crank up the blanket. I have been reluctant to use it because of the EMF and thoughts on how it may affect my cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi. I certainly would not use the electric blanket. I would get a heavy quilt or two and use that. There are some EMF's I can't avoid. But an electric blanket I certainly can and do because with that you are wrapping yourself up or covering yourself with EMF's. What are you thinking electric blanket instead of quilt or quilts, and, if need be a hot water bottle or two or a sock or other material filled with rice that you warm in the oven? Electric blankets are very bad news, from all I have read. Best wishes, Elliot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 My ND said he isn't too worried about electric blankets. I have terrible pain when the weather gets cold and it keeps me from sleeping. I can't afford to heat the whole house, so I set the thermostat for something low and keep the blanket on low as well. The cats love it. ar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 A quilt will work fine, Elliot, if your body produces body heat. Mine does not. Gloves do not warm my hands, nor do warm socks and shoes warm my feet. It's unfortunate that we all can't be built exactly alike. But I can tell you that the pain I experience from cold temperatures is extreme and won't go away easily. ar On Fri, 18 Jan 2008 03:38:32 -0000, " breathedeepnow " <aug20@...> said: > I do not get it.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Chris I think you would be better off putting every blanket in the house on and more clothes if need be.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi Chris: Two companies I know of specialize in EMF avoidance - One is Advanced Tachyon Technologies but their product line doesn't fit your format much unless you choose their blanket/sleeping bag? & put it between yourself & the electric blanket. Better probably & consider in many circles the planetary EMF leader would be Slim Spurling: ? http://www.slimspurling.com/ Probably one step up from Slim's Personal Harmonizer would be an Environmental Harmonizer which would resolve all your EMF conflict & possibly everyone's down the street - Pricey at ~$400 but not as bad as his Storm Chaser which comes in at?$2800 - You might hafta wait on Santa for that one. ? I've used his loops & they produce an immediate noticeable positive effect - Much more dramatic than Lavhosky rings & I'm a big Lavhosky endorser - Good luck... -----Original Message----- From: Frace Hi all Looking for thoughts on using an electric blanket.I live in Michigan where the wind chill is gonna be 20 below 0 this weekend.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Greetings, Any farm feed store will have it. Even with the rise in prices it is still about $7-$9 dollars for a fifty pound bag. This will make a lot of holiday gifts. I found that 2 pounds in an old tube sock is about the perfect size.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Greetings, My thyroid has been checked many times, perfectly normal. I am just a plain freezy person. I moved to Texas to be warmer, but I still need added heat to my bed or I don't sleep from pain.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 There are several books written on " TACHYONS " & if you google " Advanced Tachyon Technologies " , their website will provide an overview - Likewise google " SLIM SPURLING " - His website discusses product usage & a book, " Slim Spurling's Universe " . Slim's Light-Life rings are very similar to Lakhovsky rings altough Lakhovsky used them on major joints whereas Slim puts them anywhere -?Lakhovsky's are?open & were theorized to function via multi-frequency?harmonics - Spurling's are built to be multiples of cubit lengths to produce a waveform of 144 gigahertz which he suggests creates light?- Both rings do great in stimulating plant life growth - Recall that Lakhovsky injected his plants with a cancer agent then cured everyone of them using rings. /New Castle, PA From: szukipoo frankverdiii writes: > Two companies I know of specialize in EMF avoidance How does this work?

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I got some incredibly comfortable socks made with silver coated thread in the bottom portion, http://www.amazon.com/Wigwam-Unisex-Ultimax-Silver-Socks/dp/B000Y7OUCI/ ref=sr_1_5/002-0439032-7525614?ie=UTF8 & s=apparel & qid=1195012687 & sr=1-5 This was the cheapest I could find them, the other ones were $10 a pair but came in more colors. Let me know if you see them cheaper elsewhere. The silver is supposed to be anti-bacterial but I'm hoping also anti-fungal. They feel wonderful. I wear them inside wool socks, and also keep a sweater at the foot of my bed that I stick my feet in when I get in bed. I used to just wear 2 pairs of socks one of which were wool. I find that as long as my feet are warm I warm up quickly and can go to sleep. I sleep hot (my husband sleeps cold) so after a while I have to take all the heavy covers off everything but my feet and I have only a sheet and double-sheet duvet cover on, but the other thing that keeps me warm is sleeping with a warm cloth over my head to keep my head warm and also to shut out any incidental light coming from the outside light outside our bedroom window. I sleep much better since I started keeping my head warm. On Jan 18, 2008, at 6:23 AM, Garth & Kim wrote: > Greetings, > While I live in Texas, this for me means no central heat.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I hear what you are saying Stacie - and I am afraid of those magnetic fields in massage chairs and throw blankets. But I think if you are careful with the blanket like Hope is there is not a problem. I say that because I have slept on a heated mattress cover for more than 10 years with my ICD and I have had no problems. I just won't give up my heat. I don't know why I am not worried sleeping on the heated mattress cover. Maybe it is because the electricity come into the cover at my feet. I am just laying on the heated coils. I do have several layers of sheet and another mattress cover over he top - but that shouldn't matter. mmmmmm But again, like I said - I have slept for 10 years this way and no problems. I usually only sleep on it for a couple of hours while it is turned on...... ~guin LIghtingpaw wrote: > > electric blankets heatign pads and messagers are all to be adioved > !!!!! dor the heatign pad and blanket they cause ecltromagnitic > feilds for ! the messager the vibratiosn acn make the icd think it's > your heart and fire off ! as well as the manetis usealy in thim ! can > cause problems and soem ahve megnetic fields as well ! > > > > From: Hope4843@... <Hope4843@...> > Subject: Re: Re: Magnets to watch out for.
