Earthing question

I haven't been on the forum for some time.  Was diagnosed with dysautonomia, so that has consumed my curiosity for awhile.  However, I just read the "Earthing" book and checked on here about it -- most of the postings were negative.  Has anyone used the sheet or pad and felt better?  I know I feel amazingly better at the beach and that the effect lasts for a couple days.  Still, I can't be there all the time, so am hoping that a lot of you have had success with the pads/sheets or something that I could use at home.

And, btw, have any of you been diagnosed with dysautonomia??

Thanks!  Amy

I haven't been dx'd, but know I have it. I get SLEs from chronic Lyme disease & chronic fatigue syndrome, which have already done so much CNS damage that I'm now severely electro & chemically sensitive. I haven't heard of any pads or sheets; not sure what you're talking about there. Glad you can find some relief @ the beach. What have been your experiences w/ dysautonomia? I've gotten soooo many more seizures & much poorer coordination & insomnia since a 4-day Smart Meter exposure in March. I feel that the EMFs do a LOT of damage to the CNS. How strong an influence do you feel that EMFs have on your dysautonomia?

You don't want to ground yourself in a high electrical environment b/c you can become part of the grounding path for some of that electricity, and that can adversely affect your health.

On the other hand, if you're on the beach, feel free to ground, as long as there's no external sources of electricity such as lightning.

Hey Elysia - I think EMF's play a huge role in my dysautonomia.  I don't think
EMF's originally triggered my autonomic nervous system to go on the fritz, but
being around electrical grids makes everything so much worse.  My main symptoms
are muscle weakness, disequilibrium, fatigue and feeling faint (plus myriads of
other creepy little symptoms).  The worst symptom triggers are the curly little
compact fluorescent bulbs, followed by regular fluorescent bulbs and some types
of recessed spotlight type bulbs.  Because of that, I had to quit my job (I was
a teacher) because fluorescents were everywhere.  At my worst, I was too weak,
dizzy and wobbly to even go into a store or fast food place for 5 minutes.  I'm
a lot better now, but not normal.  I can do computers without too many effects,
and use cell phones and portable phones on most days for a decent amount of time
before I feel any effects.  In stores, I can shop a little now (maybe a half
hour if I'm lucky) but my legs get real weak and I get REAL hot quite quickly.
 If there's a line at the checkout, I'm out of luck because I can't stand still
for very long at all.   When I am outdoors, all my dysautonomia symptoms improve
somewhat (and sometimes a lot)

Being diagnosed w/ dysautonomia didn't help because the "typical" treatments for
it made me worse - and very few Drs. have even heard of it.  So do you feel that
trying to treat EMF sensitivity has made you worse??  (Not very familiar with
smart meters).  That's scary!  What things have you tried that have helped with
EMF's and dysautonomia and what have you tried that has hurt??

Amy

Hi Amy,

If you have EMF sensitivity, you should unplug all digital cordless phones.  The base station (and sometimes also the handset as long as there are batteries in it) radiate continually, even when you're not on a call.  The European parliament, Israel, Germany, and several other countries have cautioned about cordless phones, esp. those with the DECT standard.  (http://www.wireless-precaution.com/main/precautions.php)

As for your computer, if it's a laptop, you might want to unplug it when you're not using it, and keep as much distance as possible.  I used to think electrical sensitivity only happened to those overexposed to wireless radiation.  Now I realized computers have dangerous low frequencies of their own, as detected by an AM radio.  Some computers also cause high body voltage if they are not grounded.  (I think it can be helpful to ground electrical devices, but you just don't want to be on the grounding path.)
