Help please

Hello,

I live in the UK and suffer from chronic fatigue with multiple chemical sensitivity and electrical sensitivity and have frequent headaches, tinnitus, disturbed sleep and brain fog.

I'm deaf with a cochlear implant so am reliant on technology - the more so as I live alone - both for safety and social contact.  

Alongside the cochlear implant I use a Silent Alert 2000 system (www.silent-alert.co.uk) which has phone, doorbell and smoke alarm transmitters around the house. It has a vibrating pager that I need to wear during the day and which is charged at night whilst attached to a vibrating pillow pad. Ihave been advised that this is probably contributing to my problems and that I should look for alternatives.

I also have two Uniphones (textphones) for emergencies which require mains power - one of these is beside my bed; an iMac with WiFi; microwave; tv, pvr dvd and vhs player; etc. etc.    

At present I use a Nokia smartphone for textmessages, email and internet access for when I'm not well enough to sit at my iMac. (+ I would dearly lovea mac laptop or iPad - but that's another story!)

I have a limited capacity to spend time researching online or to understandtechnical information!

I'm trying to limit my time online etc and would be very grateful if any ofyou can advise me of any products that might help me offset the harmful effects of unavoidable expose?

Thankyou for your help,

Kind Regards,

Lucy

Lucy,

I think you need you need to start considering non-wireless alternatives. You shouldn't have any Wi-Fi for your computer. That can be wired, and thewireless capability turned off.

It sounds daunting, to find alternative, non-wireless systems for your special needs due to being deaf. That sounds very specialized. How did deaf people get by, before electricity and wireless technologies? How did they get around these housing issues?

All best wishes to you,
Sue

Dump the microwave. Most here watch TV, but I
don't see how an electrosensitive can be near
one. Try a 7" portable DVD player for video
entertainment (run it on the battery). As for
computer use, limit your time on it to short
sessions - under an hour.

Some have said the imac is terrible, but I recently
spoke to a friend who said he can actually use
one for an hour a week. Most other computers are
intolerable to him. Just shows that we all have
our own specific sensitivities.

For sleep try melatonin 5 mg, liquid calcium and
a sleep aid. That usually puts me out. Alprazolam
also helps.

There's not much that can be done about the tinnitus
other than avoid EMF. TVs, computers, cell phones
and driving cars are the worst offenders for me. I do
notice that daily power drinks help my tinnitus:
- organic carrots
- broccoli
- organic apple
- spinach
- Dr. Kims Greens
- Vitamin C
- Jay Rob egg white protein mix.
- organic wild blueberries
- a banana
Blend it all with water in a Vita Mix 5200

Perhaps you can move that vibrating pillow to some other
contrivance. You want to protect your head from the EMF. That's
where most of our diffuse damage is.

VitaMix Was: Help please

S Andreason
In reply to this post by jaime_schunkewitz
Hi,

I have some first hand experience for that product.

Since mom's 40 yr. old blender is on it's last legs, dad got the Vita
Mix 5200 last month. He asked the sales people if the magnetic field is
low, but of course they never heard of that problem. Never had anyone
complain about that.

I measured 0.08 V/m and 0.007 mW/m2 for the RF spectrum, but Wow did
that thing hurt. When I aimed the Gauss meter at it, and it was off the
scale, over 10 milliGauss out until 3 ft, and I had to back off, way out
to 13 ft to get the needle down to 0.2 mG (nearly background). I have
never measured an appliance so high.

Fortunately, I have some Mu-metal, and I wrapped it around the back and
sides of the blender. Yes, it cut the bubble down, and only exposed the
front at a lower amount, but inside the bubble, where the fingers must
go, it was still extremely high.

When I aimed a digital gauss meter at it, I got 31mG in front at 5
inches, and at 1 inch the maximum reading was 121 mG.
http://seaHorseCorral.org/images/meter/20100621_VitaMix-gauss-level_31_121mG-5974-640e.jpg

We decided to keep trying to use it.
But, after mom made some nice foods, less than half an hour of
intermittent exposure, she was getting the feeling of having her head in
a vice, lots of pressure, plus a burning feeling sitting in the sun, and
her hand was trembling. We remembered the actress demonstrating the
product on the DVD also looked like she had parkinsons. Her hand was not
steady. Maybe it was not just her nerves, or being nervous in front of
the camera, as we assumed at first.

This was unacceptable, since it was promoted as a healthy product.

So we had to send it back. They were very good about taking it back.
The rest of the product was well designed and worked beautifully. If
only the 2 hp motor were better!

Oh, and I couldn't be anywhere near it either without getting a strong
reaction, very very strong magnetic field. Unbelievable hazard for the
public.

I have the Jack LaLanne's Health Master 100 which is comparable to the vitamix & it doesn't bother me but I only use it for juicing for short spurts.  It was less expensive also.  Loni
