Stewart,
Thank you for the good explanation to finding a place to live in this nightmare. You're very helpful.

I have one in my living room and one in my bedroom. Not sure of the square footage but I'm going to turn off the one in the bedroom. I live in an apt. and 2 may be too much.
I do notice cleaner air so I may just run the one in the living room and if it bothers me when I'm there do what you said. I have the mold test kit and it detected zero mold, which might be due to the fact that I have blueair air cleaners running in both rooms. The blueair are OK but the filters give off an odor when new and the air didn't smell as fresh as I'd like. I live off an alley and lots of grime gets in.

Stewart the picture of the future sounds extremely unpleasant! And am aware things moving very fast in this direction.
My longer range goal is to get out of the US altogether. Thanks everyone for all your helpful input.

And go where?
I find it interesting to talk to (email) other EHS sufferers and refugees in other countries as well as from across the US, and I hear Their countries and neighbors are adopting the goodie-fun toys being promoted here. Africa is sprouting towers to skip the copper-wire telephone infrastructure. New Zealand wants to be just like us, (no peaceful middle earth hobbiton there)... Even has bouncers with guns making sure there are no squatters in the Protected wilderness areas. The only places left are really remote spots that have no people living there because it is inhospitable and no food or water (thinking of outback of central Australia or the middle of Pacific Ocean or 10+ feet of snow in the interior of NE British Columbia) not to mention satellite coverage of microwaves from space. Please, point out somewhere still not going under. Stewart iamhamsa wrote: > My longer range goal is to get out of the US altogether. > |
HI Stewart,
You're totally correct, no place is immune. But I believe one may buy time, and get a break from EM assaults, or at least minimize them to a more healthful degree, and in such places be able to afford to live on a lesser income. Sounds like you've already concluded no such place exists. Each of us must follow what feels best. I'm not enamored with the US anyway and this was my intention before I became ES.

hi, steve. sounds like you have it all figured out.

Except I still would like a better air cleaner. The Blueair's are quiet but the filter smell is annoying.

sounds like an air polluter, not air cleaner. :)

I know, but once the smell clears out after a week it seems to help

the negative ion generator should help with the odor.
and, for what it's worth, this is what someone told me once: put the NIG in a cardboard box large enough to accommodate the offending odor maker - filter or entire machine - and run it for a good long time - until the odor is gone. might take an hour - might take a day. unless the material in the filter is so raunchy that nothing will 'fix' it - in which case i think i would send the thing back to its maker. :) love, patricia On Dec 9, 2012, at 10:54 AM, torch369 wrote: > I know, but once the smell clears out after a week it seems to help |
Interesting. I give a week for the odor to dissipate, if it took longer than that I would return the thing. It's not a HEPA filter, it's electrostatic. They say its made from non toxic propylene.

hi, steve.
i heard that in japan they use silver for air cleaner filters. i did a search for : silver air cleaner filters : and got lots of resources. if the odor lingers, you might want to see if they make a silver filter for your machine. ??? in my eyes, silver might be safer than propylene. see these symptoms for propylene health effects on this page: http://www.totalrefiningchemicals.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/GPS%20SAFETY%20SUMMARIES/GPS-Safety-Summary-PROPYLENE.pdf i pray you don't have any of them. my fear is that manufacturers are not all that conscientious about their products. i learned this from wearing women's shoes. :) very few shoemakers make shoes that fit feet... many make shoes that mold your feet to their unrealistic expectations... it's called 'fashion'. :) love, patricia On Dec 10, 2012, at 7:38 AM, torch369 wrote: > Interesting.

Thanks for the link.
I'm searching around for a metal air cleaners that uses HEPA and maybe charcoal filters.

I'm sure that these generate a lot of EMF, though. After trying out virtually every air cleaning technology on the market, I settled on Biozone, which use UV bulbs that generate ozone.

I had tried Austin and I thought they were too noisy. I am very sensitive to ozone so the Biozone probably wouldn't be good for me.
The negative ionizers from comtech don't give off much ozone but if I get too close to it my sinuses act up. The Blueair gives off very little emf and no detected ozone and its quiet. If those darn filters didn't give off a smell it would be perfect. The smell takes about a week to go away. Frustrating.

steve, try putting the filters in a cardboard box with a negative ion generator.
that works to de-odorize many things. patricia On Dec 12, 2012, at 10:20 AM, torch369 wrote: > I had tried Austin and I thought they were too noisy.

well, maybe i should add:
turn the NIG on and leave the two in the box for a day. On Dec 12, 2012, at 12:06 PM, Patricia Robinett wrote: > steve, try putting the filters in a cardboard box with a negative ion generator. > that works to de-odorize many things. > patricia |

Renee,
Have you considered magnets? I wear magnets from BioMagScience.net and have great success. I have them taped to the headboard of my bed, well, the wall. [hidden email] Joan |

You have to understand them as well as be intuitive/sensitive about their energy fields. Used wrong, they can be disastrous. Many sell them and talk about them, and they don't know what the sense they're talking about!! Most magnets are labeled incorrectly, have ambiguous polarity, and aren't necessarily the gauss they state! However... read Donna Eden "Energy Medicine". And see her site "Innersource". She is a TRUE healer, clairvoyant, and intuitive. She SEES energy fields, meridians, chakras. She is the real deal. She cured her own EMF sensitivity with magnets. She talks about the different energy systems in the body including those I mentioned, as well as the body's grids (incredibly important, and I believe messed up by EMF fields).. and she teaches a system called "Electrics". This is messed up by EMf fields, corrected on the Bladder ACP meridian on the back of the neck, where the occiput meets the neck. BTW, magnets - used properly - can get rid of critters and pathogens. this includes viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungus. Takes no time at all... Those critters are sensitive to ELFs. They thrive in their correct field and die in their incorret field. Magnets can fix their hungry leeching selves! Bestest! Judy |
