Hello everyone!
I'm feeling great in the country, but still can't sleep, so have narrowed down the culprit to cell towers (when a storm rolled in with heavy clouds and we had no cell signal in the house, I got very sleepy, but of course it didn't last). I've also been experimenting with a Schumann Resonance audio file, which again, made me feel so much better and slightly sleepy, but again could not drop off. I was wondering if anyone has tried a cell signal jammer -- would that just add more EMF to my home, or do you think it might help? If you've successfully used one, would you share the make/model and where you purchased it? Christine P.S. Removing the GFI outlets and replacing them with standard 15 amp/20 amp outlets worked wonders. After they were replaced, I felt "normal" in my new house. If you have GFIs, I highly recommend having them removed. |

If you have GFIs, I highly recommend having them removed. Interesting. So you replaced them with normal outlets, and not the recommended GFI replacement that you referenced before? I don't think I'd be comfortable not having GFI outlets where they are supposed to be, as you're now risking being electrocuted if there are water problems. Marc |

I would think that a cell phone jammer in your house would make things far worse! I don't have any experience with these, and I also think they are illegal to use... Marc |

jeez, marc, i don't think GFI outlets are all that important.
i didn't even know what they were - and i haven't been electrocuted from water problems. i suspect it's one of those 'one in a million' things that advertising companies use to make their product sound important, to motivate you to BUY NOW! :) i think i'll mention this to my friend who owns this house. i think there are only two in the house... should check around the whole house... but if it helped christine that much, it's something i'd be interested in trying too. love, patricia On Jul 9, 2013, at 12:33 PM, Marc Martin wrote: > On July 9, christinelrc <[hidden email]> wrote: >> P.S.

I promise you that you would not like it ! the jammer has to emit a strong
signal to cancel out the ambient cell signals, they are still present but the signal is just scrambled. They do work though and in small bursts they can be quite satisfying/amusing etc..... puk In a message dated 7/9/2013 6:26:50 A.M.

i see. thanks for the link.
good for whirlpool baths, hot tubs, anywhere water and electricity might be used in lethal doses. :) i guess the hot tub here must have one... the ones i saw were in the bathroom sink area, not really near the water. that might explain why the hot tub area, tho apart from the house by a good distance - out on a big deck, on a lower level - still measures quite high in EMF. that might be the reason. hmm... when people say that EMF doesn't make sense, i think it's just because they aren't considering all the factors. and we, on esens, are really teasing out all the elements that contribute to the problem. thanks for having this list, marc. love, patricia On Jul 9, 2013, at 4:08 PM, Marc Martin wrote: > On July 9, Patricia Robinett <[hidden email]> wrote: >> jeez, marc, i don't think GFI outlets are all that important. > > Hmmm, well *some* people seem to think they are > important... :-) > > http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090603141013AAA40Sx > > Marc |
How about switching out the GFCI outlet for a low-EMF GCFI outlet?
See this 2007 study which points you to the Cooper brand available at ACE Hardware Stores or can be ordered online.

Yes, Marc, the GFIs were not where you would think they would be. None on either side of the kitchen sink, but they were on either side of the stove and beside the back door (none behind the fridge either). In the master bathroom, they were above and to the sides of the sinks, but none for the jacuzzi tub.
I believe we have a GFCI breaker in the circuit panel because it is located on the outside of the house, so according to the home inspector, we are not required to have the GFI outlets. In any case, there are more pressing things to worry about than possible household accidents -- like the chemtrails thing and the fact that my smart meter could be used to transmit wifi against my will. When I get around to creating my own anti-EMF website, I've decided I'll call it "Frogs in a Boiling Pot." They keep turning up the heat, and only a very few of us can leap out.

Interesting, glad you posted this. We might give these a try. We tested ours by measuring body voltage. When 10 feet away, the difference in the amount measured when one GFI is energized and when it isn't is small, but that difference is palpable for me. We normally keep ours de-energized.

gfi's are mandated by building codes. I checked the gfi in my bathroom with a dirt electricity meter plugged into the outlet and it was off the charts
