Advice from a partially-recovered ES person

joshfinley1985
Hi eSens,

I'm a civil engineering student living in Seattle, WA.  I have struggled with electrosensitivity for many years now (my big issue is with wireless technologies), and I have found a few coping mechanisms that I'd like to share with the group.  ES still affects just about every aspect of my life, and I would be nowhere today without the support of my friends and family to help me cope, but at the moment I'm getting through a competitive engineering program and getting by in daily life.  I found out about this group through the Electrosensitive Society, and I'm eager to hear about how other people cope and to be whatever help I can be in helping others deal with this difficult situation.

Here's a short article I wrote recently on how to deal with ES:

Coping with electrosensitivity (ES) is difficult, and there are a lot of dead ends.  If you are ES, the good news is that it is possible to become less sensitive to wireless technology; I've done it, although I'm not "cured" by any stretch of the imagination.  Here are some things I have done that I believe have helped:

1. Reduce exposures.  This is achieved by:
a.  Not using wireless technology, and, for more severely ES people,
b.  Relocating to an area with lower levels of ambient RF.  Although there are many RF exposure sources it doesn't consider,  www.antennasearch.com is a good resource for getting started identifying which neighborhoods in your community are likely to be lower-RF.  A low-cost RF meter will help you quickly narrow it down further. Make sure to use one capable of measuring up to at least 3 GHz, and keep in mind that some exposures---such as high-frequency wi-max---will not be detectable by the meter.  If you're considering going to such lengths as this, you're probably pretty electrosensitive; be sure to stay long enough in the different areas you consider to get a good feel for whether they're going to be positive places for you to be.  And, of course, remember that new antennas go up all the time; today's safe-haven can easily become tomorrow's hell.  Low-density areas with single-family homes on large lots are generally a good bet; also, try to find a house made of concrete or brick, as these materials are generally most effective at blocking RF.  Apartment complexes tend to have more RF exposure because of tenants' wi-fi networks, so you should avoid them if you can.  If you live in an area with RF-emitting electrical meters (so-called "smart meters"), be aware of this variable as well.
c.  RF shielding of your bed.  I haven't personally done this, but other ES people have reported it to be helpful.
d.  RF Shielding of your house.  Difficult and expensive; make sure to consult with someone competent.

2.  Get grounded.  Devices for connecting your body to electrical ground are cheap, easy to use, and helpful at combating the effects of RF.  See www.earthing.com for more info.  I strongly recommend installing your own grounding rod (also available from this site) rather than using the wiring in your house, especially if you are ES; resistance and electrosmog on the building's ground circuit can diminish the effectiveness of grounding for some people.

3.  Negative ion therapy.  I have found a medical device called the E-Power to be helpful; I use it every night while I sleep (laying its' charged belt flat on your mattress under your sheet and turning it on while you sleep is a good way to get in a lot of time with it).  It is, however, not cheap; for those on a tight budget, grounding is a better way to go.  Also, don't use it at the same time as you are grounding or you will get shocked!  Info at: http://www.chimachine4u.com/epower.html<br>

3.  Detoxification and diet modification/supplementation.  This is best done in consultation with a naturopath.  For me, it meant taking various vitamins, changing my diet, removing my mercury fillings, and heavy-metal detox using Calcium-Disodium EDTA (a synthetic amino acid that is FDA approved for the treatment of lead poisoning).  Testing can help determine if this last suggestion is relevant to you, but if you're seriously ES, chances are good that it is.  Seriously ES people, do not underestimate how much metal removal can help!  I view it as probably the most important thing I've done to treat this problem.

4.  Meditation and yoga can help calm your mind and make you more resilient when faced with RF exposure.  The practices I have found most helpful are transcendental meditation and bikram (or hot hatha) yoga.  Hot yoga is one of the most powerful "de-smogging" practices I have found; I do it almost every day, and the practice helps keep me able to function relatively normally in wireless-saturated areas, provided I can stay at least a few feet away from the nearest wireless transmitter.  The trick is to find a studio that isn't right next to a cell tower or in an office park with tons of wi-fi networks (although if this isn't possible, the practice may still prove a net positive; try it and see).   Info at:
www.tm.org
http://www.bikramyoga.com/

5.  Multi-polar magnets can help stabilize the body's electrical field and are relatively inexpensive.  I wear one in each front pocket of my pants, pretty much all the time.  Call Seattle Natural Health and I bet they'd be happy to ship you a couple:
http://www.seattlenaturalhealth.com/

I hope this information proves useful to someone out there.  Please e-mail [hidden email] if you have any feedback on it.  I'd love to hear from you!

Re: Advice from a partially-recovered ES person

That antenna search site was interesting.  I'm within 4 miles of 17 towers and
47 antenna.  I assume that's not good, but I don't know how bad it is
comparatively though.  I have a brick house and heavily treed yard.  Also, we
live within 300 yds of a very large bay. Is that a helpful thing as far as
dealing w/ EMF's and would it mitigate against all the towers around here?


Thanks!  Amy

I was very inspired by Josh's thoughts and comments on treatment options for ES.  I decided to focus my next video chapter on his post.  Enjoy.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBC9iMZt4Z8

4 miles of 47 antennas is pretty good, as these things go.  Downtown Seattle has thousands of antennas within that radius.

I don't think it matters much that you're near a bay, other than that there's at least one direction where not much RF is going to be coming from.

The best way to assess your exposure is by getting a meter.  I have the Extech 480836.
http://www.extech.com/instruments/product.asp?catid=57&prodid=351

It won't tell you anything about what's going on in the spectrum above 3.5 GHz, but it's still pretty good for assessing microwave exposure, since most of our exposure is to carrier frequencies of about 2.4 GHz and below.

Best,
Josh

Re: Advice from a partially-recovered ES person

Thank you so much for this excellent guidance!  I wish I had the funds to remove my mercury fillings.  That's a costly proposition.

That antenna search site was interesting. I'm within 4 miles of 17 towers and
47 antenna. I assume that's not good, but I don't know how bad it is
comparatively though. I have a brick house and heavily treed yard. Also, we
live within 300 yds of a very large bay. Is that a helpful thing as far as
dealing w/ EMF's and would it mitigate against all the towers around here?

Thanks! Amy

Subject: [eSens] Advice from a partially-recovered ES person

Hi eSens,

I'm a civil engineering student living in Seattle, WA. I have struggled with
electrosensitivity for many years now (my big issue is with wireless
technologies), and I have found a few coping mechanisms that I'd like to share
with the group. ES still affects just about every aspect of my life, and I
would be nowhere today without the support of my friends and family to help me
cope, but at the moment I'm getting through a competitive engineering program
and getting by in daily life. I found out about this group through the
Electrosensitive Society, and I'm eager to hear about how other people cope and
to be whatever help I can be in helping others deal with this difficult
situation.

Here's a short article I wrote recently on how to deal with ES:

Coping with electrosensitivity (ES) is difficult, and there are a lot of dead
ends. If you are ES, the good news is that it is possible to become less
sensitive to wireless technology; I've done it, although I'm not "cured" by any
stretch of the imagination. Here are some things I have done that I believe
have helped:

1. Reduce exposures. This is achieved by:
a. Not using wireless technology, and, for more severely ES people,
b. Relocating to an area with lower levels of ambient RF. Although there are
many RF exposure sources it doesn't consider, www.antennasearch.com is a good
resource for getting started identifying which neighborhoods in your community
are likely to be lower-RF. A low-cost RF meter will help you quickly narrow it
down further. Make sure to use one capable of measuring up to at least 3 GHz,
and keep in mind that some exposures---such as high-frequency wi-max---will not
be detectable by the meter. If you're considering going to such lengths as
this, you're probably pretty electrosensitive; be sure to stay long enough in
the different areas you consider to get a good feel for whether they're going to
be positive places for you to be. And, of course, remember that new antennas go
up all the time; today's safe-haven can easily become tomorrow's hell.
Low-density areas with single-family homes on large lots are generally a good
bet; also, try to find a house made of concrete or brick, as these materials are
generally most effective at blocking RF. Apartment complexes tend to have more
RF exposure because of tenants' wi-fi networks, so you should avoid them if you
can. If you live in an area with RF-emitting electrical meters (so-called
"smart meters"), be aware of this variable as well.

c. RF shielding of your bed. I haven't personally done this, but other ES
people have reported it to be helpful.

d. RF Shielding of your house. Difficult and expensive; make sure to consult
with someone competent.

2. Get grounded. Devices for connecting your body to electrical ground are
cheap, easy to use, and helpful at combating the effects of RF. See
www.earthing.com for more info. I strongly recommend installing your own
grounding rod (also available from this site) rather than using the wiring in
your house, especially if you are ES; resistance and electrosmog on the
building's ground circuit can diminish the effectiveness of grounding for some
people.

3. Negative ion therapy. I have found a medical device called the E-Power to
be helpful; I use it every night while I sleep (laying its' charged belt flat on
your mattress under your sheet and turning it on while you sleep is a good way
to get in a lot of time with it). It is, however, not cheap; for those on a
tight budget, grounding is a better way to go. Also, don't use it at the same
time as you are grounding or you will get shocked! Info at:
http://www.chimachine4u.com/epower.html

3. Detoxification and diet modification/supplementation. This is best done in
consultation with a naturopath. For me, it meant taking various vitamins,
changing my diet, removing my mercury fillings, and heavy-metal detox using
Calcium-Disodium EDTA (a synthetic amino acid that is FDA approved for the
treatment of lead poisoning). Testing can help determine if this last
suggestion is relevant to you, but if you're seriously ES, chances are good that
it is. Seriously ES people, do not underestimate how much metal removal can
help! I view it as probably the most important thing I've done to treat this
problem.

4. Meditation and yoga can help calm your mind and make you more resilient when
faced with RF exposure. The practices I have found most helpful are
transcendental meditation and bikram (or hot hatha) yoga. Hot yoga is one of
the most powerful "de-smogging" practices I have found; I do it almost every
day, and the practice helps keep me able to function relatively normally in
wireless-saturated areas, provided I can stay at least a few feet away from the
nearest wireless transmitter. The trick is to find a studio that isn't right
next to a cell tower or in an office park with tons of wi-fi networks (although
if this isn't possible, the practice may still prove a net positive; try it and
see). Info at:

www.tm.org
http://www.bikramyoga.com/

5. Multi-polar magnets can help stabilize the body's electrical field and are
relatively inexpensive. I wear one in each front pocket of my pants, pretty
much all the time. Call Seattle Natural Health and I bet they'd be happy to
ship you a couple:

Please try to locate an experienced dentist who removed fillings.

They will work w you & remove 1 at time as you can afford it.
