Well, I just tried an AM radio tuned to the low end 53, and my whole livingroom is buzzing, and badly so against the wall where the whole apartment complex electricilty and cable TV comes in and also against the front wall of the apartment is bad. So is the metal furnace which is against the bedroom wall but just a few feet from the front wall and front door. The safest place is the kitchen where I have been hanging out!! Even my bathroom is badespecially up against the wall by the comode bordering my neighbors apt. Guess I need to keep my sitting time on the toilet brief!! LOL
So who can I sue for this mess? No wonder I am sick! I am at least feeling better with all my dietary changes and hanging out in the kitchen, but still. Is this AM radio thing reliable? There is litarlly no where in my entireapt where there is only the mild crackle. There is even a mild buzz in themiddle of the kitchen where I sit and do artwork. And this is with the lamp turned off. Maybe if I turn the circuit breakers off. My bedroom is hot of course around the computer, both moniter and harddrive and also against the walls. The middle where I sleep has the mildest buzz. I at least know what to take with me when I go hunting for a new place to live. And I know why I have problems sleeping after doing artwork in the kitchen in the evening. The lamp! During the day I can use natural daylight from the window. Any tips for a EMF free lamp? The one I am using is just a simple 60 watt incandescent. It isn't as bad as the living room but it ain'tgood. Kathy |

If you are reacting to a simple 60 watt incandescent light, that could either mean that you are *really* sensitive, or the electricity is so "noisy" that it is transferring to the lamp (in which case it won't matter what lamp you buy, as they'll all seem bad). My suggestions are the usual ones -- make yourself healthier (diet, supplements, etc.), remove all metal from your person (including dental fillings, eyeglasses, etc.), find something to reduce the noise on the power lines (filters, ferrites, shielding), check for bad wiring on that outlet (buy an outlet tester), or find some EMF protection devices that help you cope.

Hi Marc,
Could I have a lamp that is wired incorrectly? Also could I put a ferrite bead on the lamp cord to help things? I was using a halagen lamp which was worse, but this one definitely affects me but then it is only about 1 1/2 foot away from my head. I need something either really bright to keep at a distance or something safer. I have already done the 'healthier' thing and continue to do so. Excellent advise. I don't wear metal and only have two smallish amalagam fillings as I had the rest removed. At the present time it is impractical to remove these and does not seem to be the most important thing, but yes I would like to get rid of them. I rent an apt so if I test the wiring on that outlet I don't know if there is anything I can do about it. I have heard so many people talk about spending money on protection devises that did not work for them I am hesitant togo there especially as money is a big issue. Right now I am saving everything I can so I can put down a deposit on a new place. I suppose I can try the lamp at a different outlet. Thanks for your tips.

Hi Paul,
"Try finding 12 volt LED lights on a gu10? fitting then run them off a portable battery such as a car battery of smaller sealed gel types which you can get in maplin for about $50-89 dollars." What is a gu10? If I use a car battery how often and how would I charge it?Sorry if this is a dumb question but I just don't understand a lot of thisstuff. I have considered Stetzer Filters but I recall reading that not everyone thinks they improve things and even one person thought they made things worse (not necessaryily at this forum... I don't recall where), plus if you don't use enough they may not work. In any case I can't invest at this time. I'm not sure why the front of the apt is to 'hot' but yes I believe the one bedroom wall is picking up my neighbors electronic stuff. The outside wall in the living room is picking up the incoming electric and cable TV for the whole apt complex. When I tested things during the day today they weren't as bad, or at least the front wall of the apt wasn't as bad. I may be picking up on someone elses 'something' that they use in the evening. This is so frustrating!! Thanks for the tips and maybe someday I will be able to afford some of the meters you mentioned.

> Could I have a lamp that is wired incorrectly?
Actually, with a simple incandescent lamp, I'm not sure if there are any scenarios where the lamp could be wired incorrectly, or the outlet could be wired incorrectly (and the lamp would still work). Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about this. If the lamp uses an unpolarized plug, you could try plugging it into the outlet upside down and see if that makes any difference (probably not). As for ferrite beads, it's possible these might help putting them on the cord... I would personally try an EMF protection device on the lamp or cord, but you already said that your funds were limited for such experimentation (and ferrites are certainly cheaper than EMF devices) And of course, you could try using a lamp that is further away from you, but then you'd probably need a brighter lamp (which uses more electricity, and could end up being worse overall). Also, make sure that the lamp's cord is away from you, and also that you are away from any outlets (or walls which contain wiring) when you are using it. Marc |
Does the lamp buzz the radio when the lamp is off?
Maybe you could get a spot-light type bulb, plug it in far from you (but closer to the panel than you are), and shine it towards the kitchen? Or rechargeable batteries in a flash light? LED bulbs use less power but some people aren't comfortable with the unnatural color rendering. Kerosene lantern if you don't react to chemical smells? A loose connection in the lamp or even bulb could contribute to RF, but given how bad your place is, it's more likely the dirty power...

Hi, Kathy,
I cannot say for sure this will help you or not, but Walmart used to sell "Chromelux full spectrum bulbs". They are more expensive than regular incandescents, but the color spectrum is truer and help with doing artwork, imo. They also cause me fewer problems es-wise. I finally bought these in bulk from a vitamin catalog company--maybe "VitaminShoppe.com" (tho Icall in my orders and they send me a paper copy catalogue). Like I said, this may or may not fix your problem. A stetzer filter might help if you are having dirty electricity. And the idea to reverse yourcord if the plug is not polarized is a good one--have done that and it hasworked for my laptop computer. --- On Mon, 4/6/09, Bill Bruno <[hidden email]> wrote: From: Bill Bruno <[hidden email]> Subject: Re: [eSens] Re: My whole living room is hot!!

I don't think they are really full spectrum, but rather just have less yellow in them. They seem fine to me, ES-wise. Marc |

Hi Marc,
I'll try turning the plug upside down. I did try a brighter lamp, one of those from the hardware store with just the metal reflector and a clamp to attach it to something and it could take 150 watts. I put in a 75 watt bulb and had it further away but I got major major zapped. Figured it was the large metal reflector, so I just took the lamp back.

Hi Bill,
No, the lamp does not buzz the radio when it is off. I did try the spotlight idea but maybe not far enough away. A 75 watt bulb in an 150 watt clamp lamp but it emitted so much EMF from four feet away I took it back. I thought about a flash light!! This may be something I will look into (with LED) though I would have to jury rig something to hold it close to the artwork asLED light is not very bright. I don't think a kerosene lantern would be bright enough and also don't like messing with such stuff, plus potential fumes. I did live without electricity decades ago and used one and recall the light as not being very bright.

Hi Paul,
It is not a metal lamp, it is ceramic. I had a metal desk lamp that used halagen bulbs and it was terrible. Most desk lamps are metal!! So this one isa short lampshade time lamp without the lampshade, the only thing I could find that wasn't metal. (At Good Will for a few bucks). Wouldn't a plastic bulb holder potentially emit fumes? I'm not sure I have ever seen such a thing. Technically I may not be MCS but recovering from cancer I feel it is important to avoid such things. Ideally I am looking for about 75 watts of incandescent light from several feet away or the equivalent amount of light. I know there must be something that will work. I have tried a lighting specialist store but they were not EMF knowledgable. Kathy --- In [hidden email], paulpjc@... wrote: > > > In a message dated 4/7/2009 5:00:41 A.M.

Hi Paul,
I couldn't afford a solar cell at this time but will keep this in mind, butI still don't think a few watts of LED light will be enough.

Hi Paul,
So halagen light run off a car battery will not emit major EMF? I know halogen can be bright enough (I used it for awhile but had headaches and other yukky feelings every time). I thought they used a transformer or something.My little 20 watt plug in desk lamp actually buzzes. I do live in Coloradoso a solar cell (if I could invest in one later) would definitely be doable.

I can try that (Chromelux full spectrum bulb). Actually the bulb I am usingis the new GE Reveal bulb that gives off whiter or bluer light. I wonder if this bulb is a problem! I should try a regular one. I do want to try stetzer filters at some point. Just can't afford to ezperiment now or I won't have damage deposit to rent a new place. I think it most important to get out of here. So I'll buy a regular incandescent first and remember to try reversing the plug too. Then I'll look for a Chromelux full spectrum bulb. Thanks too for the VitaminShoppe.com idea.

Hi Marc,
Sounds good. Chromalux "full spectrum" may be the easiest and cheapest way to go. A few years ago I bought a Compact Fluroecent Full Spectrum bulb andit was very pricey. But then I realized how horrible it felt and stopped using it.
