Hi Loni,

I am checking out mobile home parks, not RV parks and I don't know if
the electrical is any stronger there than anywhere else. I know the
one park offers cable for TV, but don't believe it has WiFi. I am
checking out parks for mature folks and seniors so this may be better.

Re: Living in a Mobile Home?

In reply to this post by spiralwindintrees
Hi to everyone,

I just wanted to mention that around here in the Los Angeles area where I live about 50% of all mobile home parks are built very close to power towers. Apparently the land there is purchased inexpensively due to it being a health hazard to live there. Here homes can be built right next to pwer towers. There is no legal requirement, such as 200 yards away, as I have read other areas have. This is such an outrage as these mobile homes are made of metal which makes the EMF condition even worse. Many of these are senior parks so when the people become ill there they just assume it is age-related. I have noticed a cluster of Alzheimers in tenants living closest to the power towers. Just wanted to share this with all of you as you may not know about this. Shocking, isn't it?

Thanks Cheryl for the info. I am going to google the addresses of
these parks this evening at www.antennasearch.com to see about cell
towers and anntennas and in the upcoming weeks go out there and see
about transmission lines. I know the one park is not close to any as
I have been there.

Re: Living in a Mobile Home?

In reply to this post by spiralwindintrees
If it's worth mentioning, as it pertains to electricity, I certainly
don't think I'd want to live in a mobile home with AC power hooked up
to it! Not with all metal walls having AC coursing through them...

When I used my trailer, I ran it on battery (which was connected to a
farmhouse via a long extension cord to charge) and picked up no elec.
fields with a Trifield, only some magnetic in certain parts of the
floor/wall when the pump or forced air furnace ran.

In the trailer, be sure to look around well - I was shocked to see in
mine that the...I don't know what to call it, the "fusebox", or the
breaker-switch control with all the switches for the wiring was in the
bedroom under my bed! Ack!

I would not want any major powerlines near...well, any living space,
but especially not a trailer.

Luckily on battery I couldn't get any reading from this! But with an
AC hookup I'd imagine it could've been quite a problem.

(For the bed we removed the cheap metal framed supports and awful
plasticky mattresses and used four cement blocks and 2x4 wood to
support a lightweight wooden slatted frame with my foam mattress on top).

Re: Essiac

In reply to this post by spiralwindintrees
Hi Diane,

I'm confident the energy exercises you gave a link for will be
helpful. I am getting over a bad cold and it wasn't until I began
doing some Jin Shinn Jyutsu that I had any improvement. My sinuses
were so raw I couldn't stop sneezing and my eyes were constantly
watering. I did a 'hold' for sinuses while taking a short nap and
when I got up was about 90% better! I was very impressed and
continued doing more. Today I feel so so much better. I've been using
Jinn Shinn for years and it's possible it is the only reason I am
still here. It might be helpful for ES if anyone wants to try it. I
love it because it is so gentle. I use a book called 'The Touch of
Healing' by Alice Burmeister. Happy to be doing the 'thumping'
and 'cross-crawling' and other exercises now too.

Yes it is an outrage!

Hi to everyone,

I just wanted to mention that around here in the Los Angeles area where I live about 50% of all mobile home parks are built very close to power towers. Apparently the land there is purchased inexpensively due to it being a health hazard to live there. Here homes can be built right next to pwer towers. There is no legal requirement, such as 200 yards away, as I have read other areas have. This is such an outrage as these mobile homes are made of metal which makes the EMF condition even worse. Many of these are senior parks so when the people become ill there they just assume it is age-related. I have noticed a cluster of Alzheimers in tenants living closest to the power towers. Just wanted to share this with all of you as you may not know about this. Shocking, isn't it?

Hi Loni,

I am checking out mobile home parks, not RV parks and I don't know if
the electrical is any stronger there than anywhere else. I know the
one park offers cable for TV, but don't believe it has WiFi. I am
checking out parks for mature folks and seniors so this may be better.

Hi R,

Oh my God!! Fuse breaker box under the bed!! I'm starting to wonder
if I might be better off staying here one block from a cell phone
tower than trying to move into a manufactured home park. At least I
know everything else I'm dealing with here. But I'm wondering too
that there seems to be some oonfusion here between RV's or mobile
homes that really move around and the manufactured type mobile home
that is meant to be hauled to a site and then left there. The latter
is what I am considering. Hope there are less problems with them.

Re: Living in a Mobile Home?

R. Ticle
Hey Kathy,

What I'm talking about is a mobile-home, as you described it -
something meant to be hauled with a vehicle to a site, which is what
mine is.

Yes, the box under the bed just made me shake my head in disbelief. I
was lucky to run on battery power! I once thought about plugging the
trailer directly into the AC to see what would happen, but decided
against it. ;)

I don't know what to say! There are a lot of potential pros and cons
and unknowns to consider. I don't know if it's possible for you (or
if such a place exists close to you), but these days the only area I'd
like to put a mobile home of any sort if I'm living in it is somewhere
rural - less likelihood of cellphone towers and powerlines, though
checking is still important.

It could be a stretch, but you can try looking for organic farmers who
would let you rent a spot of unused land (or if you're able to garden,
perhaps a quarter acre?). Some are willing to listen. I have checked
out five places in the last few years, and had some success at them.
One farmer I just talked to, in his late sixties, seemed amazed at all
this EMF info. He said he never had a good feeling about living
really close to powerlines, but beyond that intuitive suspicion, he
was pretty much unaware - he was very receptive, too.

Again, though, 2 meters, one for RF and one for other EMF, are very
useful and important for scoping out the place...

Re: Living in a Mobile Home?

In reply to this post by spiralwindintrees
Kathy, I, too, live eye shot to about 7 anntennas on 2 towers. No idea about my ES when I bought this house just a little over a year ago. I am now looking in to tinting for all of my windows to try and block the radiation. Ialso considered the RV parks (not mobile home but I think they are similar.) but the underground wiring & the electrical boxes plus cell towers near were not any better for me.

Hi R,

Oh my God!! Fuse breaker box under the bed!! I'm starting to wonder
if I might be better off staying here one block from a cell phone
tower than trying to move into a manufactured home park. At least I
know everything else I'm dealing with here. But I'm wondering too
that there seems to be some oonfusion here between RV's or mobile
homes that really move around and the manufactured type mobile home
that is meant to be hauled to a site and then left there. The latter
is what I am considering. Hope there are less problems with them.

What meters do you have & do you think they are sensitive enough to give a good reading?  Loni

Hey Kathy,

What I'm talking about is a mobile-home, as you described it -
something meant to be hauled with a vehicle to a site, which is what
mine is.

Yes, the box under the bed just made me shake my head in disbelief. I
was lucky to run on battery power! I once thought about plugging the
trailer directly into the AC to see what would happen, but decided
against it. ;)

I don't know what to say! There are a lot of potential pros and cons
and unknowns to consider. I don't know if it's possible for you (or
if such a place exists close to you), but these days the only area I'd
like to put a mobile home of any sort if I'm living in it is somewhere
rural - less likelihood of cellphone towers and powerlines, though
checking is still important.

It could be a stretch, but you can try looking for organic farmers who
would let you rent a spot of unused land (or if you're able to garden,
perhaps a quarter acre?). Some are willing to listen. I have checked
out five places in the last few years, and had some success at them.
One farmer I just talked to, in his late sixties, seemed amazed at all
this EMF info. He said he never had a good feeling about living
really close to powerlines, but beyond that intuitive suspicion, he
was pretty much unaware - he was very receptive, too.

Again, though, 2 meters, one for RF and one for other EMF, are very
useful and important for scoping out the place...

Re: Living in a Mobile Home?

For electric and magnetic I use the Trifield 100 XE. There's some
debate about the accuracy of this meter - some say it reads higher
than true, though if I recall, Bill Bruno likes it because it takes
into account higher frequencies for it's magnetic readings - I think
that's what he said, anyway. No matter, it's what I'm used to using
and how I gauge things right now.

For RF, I use two Gigahertz Solutions meters - one with a range of 800
MHz to 2.4 or 2.5 GHz, the other from 2.4 GHz to 6.0 GHz, which covers
the most common ambient RF from towers, WiFi, etc.

I'm still thinking of getting a cheap AM radio for a quick and dirty
checker for powerline noise.

Unfortunately the Trifield should be called a Duo-Field - while good
for most people's needs for magnetic and electric, its RF mode is, I
find, quite useless for ambient readings; it isn't very sensitive.
The only time I made the needle on it bounce was by holding it
directly in front of a WiFi router doing a heavy file transfer!

Thanks, Kathy,
 
I will look into the "Jinn Shinn", too!  I have heard of it but have no idea what it is.
 
Thanks,
Diane

Hi Diane,

I'm confident the energy exercises you gave a link for will be
helpful. I am getting over a bad cold and it wasn't until I began
doing some Jin Shinn Jyutsu that I had any improvement. My sinuses
were so raw I couldn't stop sneezing and my eyes were constantly
watering. I did a 'hold' for sinuses while taking a short nap and
when I got up was about 90% better! I was very impressed and
continued doing more. Today I feel so so much better. I've been using
Jinn Shinn for years and it's possible it is the only reason I am
still here. It might be helpful for ES if anyone wants to try it. I
love it because it is so gentle. I use a book called 'The Touch of
Healing' by Alice Burmeister. Happy to be doing the 'thumping'
and 'cross-crawling' and other exercises now too.

Re: Living in a Mobile Home?

In reply to this post by spiralwindintrees
Hi, Kathy,
 
Before you make up your mind, do you think you might be able to stay in your friend's mobile home at her park?  Maybe you could even house swap for a week or so, so you could try it?  Just a thought; some people would notmind going there, but you'd have to be the judge of that.  ;)  True that your rented mobile home would still be different, but it would at least allow you to see if there is any chance of it working.  When I go to visit my aunt at her mobile home, I don't have es symptoms but I do have problems with mcs symptoms.  My guess is that it could vary from mobile home tomobile home, tho.  (Just as the wiring varies from house to house.)  Aren't some mobile homes fiberglass instead of aluminum? 
 
Also, I have a link which might (or might not) be helpful to you.  It is for Share, Care, Prayer Ministries.  I was in touch with Carolyn Gormanwho had worked with Dr. Rae's Dallas environmental clinic just before she went to work with Share, Care....  I am not sure what all they do (for me, she told me they could foot half the bill for expenses at Dr. Rae's clinic, if I could first find an es/mcs friendly home to move to--I have yet to do that and Dr. Rae feels I would not do well after the treatment if I return to my present home, so I was never able to go there.)  You can Fax them, but I still don't see a phone number to call on the site!  I talked by phone with Carolyn but I don't think I still have her number.  She was very nice and really helpful re pesticides effects and es.  She was moving full time to Colorado, tho I am not sure where there.  If you can find her, however (perhaps you could fax Share Care and ask if they have a
number or email addy where you could reach her), she might have better ideas for places in Colorado that you could move to, as well as other helpful info.  Just a thought.

Good luck,
Diane

Hi R,

Oh my God!! Fuse breaker box under the bed!! I'm starting to wonder
if I might be better off staying here one block from a cell phone
tower than trying to move into a manufactured home park. At least I
know everything else I'm dealing with here. But I'm wondering too
that there seems to be some oonfusion here between RV's or mobile
homes that really move around and the manufactured type mobile home
that is meant to be hauled to a site and then left there. The latter
is what I am considering. Hope there are less problems with them.

Re: Living in a Mobile Home?

In reply to this post by Loni Rosser
Hi Loni,

One thing that seems to help a little is a silver mesh fabric hung over thewindow. But I do need to cover this with another piece of fabric on the inside of the room or it can make things worse due to the reflection. I am using a thin piece of synthetic fabric (something cheap I found at Walmart but it looks pretty good) and don't know if that makes a differece as compared to something say made from cotton. But I can tell the differece when I stand next to it. I also spend most of my time when home in a room on the other side of the building as there is then an extra wall between me and this tower and that too seems to help. There are towers in other directions but more like 1/2 mile away. Keep us up to date ir the tinting works.

Re: Living in a Mobile Home?

Hi Diane,

Thanks for the link, I don't know if it will be helpful or not but thanks. I don't think my friend (in the mobile home park) is real aware of ES situations. She is sensitive to any artificial oders though so I would be surprised if there is a problem in the trailer she has. I really don't want to alarm her by bringing up the subject of EMFs. She knows about the cell tower close to me but I don't want to go getting her all paranoid about where sheis at when I know she financailly can't do much else. She is happier and feeling much better where she is now than the last apt she rented, though that has a lot to do with privacy issues. Doing a swap for a week or even less wouldn't work for me even. Maybe just hanging out for a few hours and paying close attention to how I felt might give me clues though.

I don't know if some are made of fiberglass. Could be.

> number or email addy where you could reach her), she might have better ideas for places in Colorado that you could move to, as well as other helpful info.  Just a thought.
