Need Advice/Help with Phone

Telephones make me feel as if all my circuits are shorting out.  So I bought a duplex speaker phone - so I could talk w/out having anything near my head.   It turned out to be a two line, and it never worked properly so I found a good home for it with a blind minister
who loves it. 
 
Now I am looking for a replacement.  Does anybody have any suggestions that are affordable that they have experience with?  I am homebound with MCS, EI, ES and Lyme's Disease, which is untreatable traditionally because of MCS.  Thanks very much, Josie

Josie, does it have to be a speaker phone? If not, check Ebay. I've bought many old phones off of there over the years and have been happy with them.

PUK replies - try also the ADSL filter at powerwatch.co.uk you can also fit
3-4 in line so reducing the broadband radiation coming from the phone.

I just bought an old speaker phone for $2 at Good Will. My old phone
was giving me earaches (had the dial numbers in the headset along
with volume control). This phone from Good Will has nothing in the
headset and I no longer get earaches, plus it does have a speaker if
I want to use that. So people might want to check thrift type stores
that get old stuff.

There was a good round of telephone advice last year. Here's a link to

I have probably also MCS, maybe not drastic. And I'm addicted to the
place I live in. addiction to that rf stress, and chemicals certainly
since it is an old buiding (30 years old). Plus old TV chemicals,
computer, etc.

Yes, use a landline phone with air tube headset. see

If the phone plugs into an outlet it has a power supply which is likely
a problem. If it has memory functions then it may send a jolt to refresh
the memory, which is bad (but perhaps not as bad as the power supply).

I have a Panasonic speakerphone that seems OK if I'm not too close.

I just bought a phone that is all line powered (no batteries or plug needed)
but it stinks of chemicals and am still airing it out.

RadioShack used to make a "telephone amplifier system" you could use
with a regular phone to make it a speaker phone. Some versions require
a plug in transformer. I think the best one had a model number ending in A
and was from the mid or early '80s. Some of the others are bad EMF wise.

The air-tube headset is good if you find it comfortable--the dimensions are
adjustable but the part that goes into your ear I never liked.

I have to say that getting out of the house with the right attitude may be
very helpful. Many times my symptoms got better and I would go out
thinking I had no more problem only to get really sick again. But recently
I started to get better and had a medical test coming up. So I wanted
my symptoms to be obvious (because these tests are so primitive).
So I told my wife--let's go out and celebrate... I didn't have to worry
about exposure. It turned out the places we chose to go were ones that
we had enjoyed before which really weren't bad EMF wise. But I was
definitely being exposed. It didn't seem to have any effect.

My symptoms did get worse again after some other exposures.
My current thinking is 1) get total exposure as low as you can for
a couple months (which is admittedly very hard). 2) Go out and
get exposed...don't go to the worst places, but if you end up at
one, just think of it as a drug that you were trying to cut back on,
but oh well you OD'd again. I do think it's possible that the body
can detect microwaves and if it associates exposure with fear, the
outcome is worse. Please don't take this as medical advise, it's just
my current hypothesis, and may only work in particular cases if at all...

Multiple Chemical Sensitivities... seems to be common
for ES folks to have MCS as well...
