New; EarthCalm, Q-Link, Faraday Canopy

luminous_blue
Hi, I'm new to the group--so, wanted to first say hello to everyone
here. I've been trying to find SOMETHING to help with my ES. I tried
the Q-Link years ago & noticed NOTHING (and returned it). I just
recently bought the EarthCalm scalar resonator necklace & the
EarthCalm scalar home protection system for EMF sensitive people (that
you plug in in 3 steps). All I noticed so far was that the plug in
system gave me a horrible headache & made me feel nauseated & spacey
for a number of days (which went away now). The pendant gave me chest
pain for a couple of days, but that has gone away now. Yet, I don't
notice any improvement when I'm exposed to the usual problem sources
(appliances, computers, lights, etc.). I also tried the Faraday
Canopy Kit (from www.blockemf.com). It's terribly expensive (well,
all these things are) & hard to put together--and so far, I haven't
noticed any difference. I wondered about other people's experiences
with these items, and if there is anything that REALLY works & has
real science behind it?

Welcome to the group!

Lots of people here have had no benefit from the Q-Link. Fewer
people here have tried the Earthcalm products, but I do recall
at least one person who got benefits from it. You might
try a few other items before giving up on devices. We've
had positive reports on Stetzer Filters, BioProtect cards,
Quantum Products, RADAR cards, Springlife Polarizers (and
a few others, I'm sure). If you don't respond well to
any of these, well, at least you tried! :-)

If your problem is low frequency magnetic fields, a Faraday cage
won't help (unless it's 1/2 inch thick aluminum).
If your problem is high frequencies, it could help, or not if they
are strong enough so that even after 30 dB shielding they are still
above threshold.
If you have a cage, and it was less than $1000, it's probably not
even 30dB. To get the most of it, try not to soil the mesh with
fingerprints even. Try to let it hang straight. Probably best not to
ground it unless you use a dedicated ground rod (but without grounding
it cannot block very low frequency E-fields, which might be OK). Probably
need
to have a conducting floor, which ideally should be in electrical contact
all the way around. If that's not possible, experiment with up to 4"
of overlap between the floor material and the walls.

Getting a meter, preferably directional, is highly recommended.
But first you need to know what you're trying to shield. If your
AC magnetic fields are not low, it could be a waste of effort,
unless you know there's strong microwaves around. Try turning
off all the power for 12+ hours (put ice in the fridge?).

Let us know if you have success! Shielding is not simple....

Thanks, Marc! I'll try to find out more about those.

Thanks for the informative reply, Bill. It sounds like you know all
the technical stuff that I don't know. I might have to pick your
brain sometime. ;-)

I don't know enough about electromagnetic fields to know what types
of frequencies bother me. But I'm bothered by flourescent lights,
machines/appliances (fridge, microwave, TV, computers, cordless
phones, cell phone, washing machine, dryer, etc.) Would those be
considered low or high frequency? Also, there are powerlines with
arcing white light & buzzing & crackling that I can hear--not too far
away from my apartment (I only hear it when I walk over near it--I
don't hear it from my place or anything). I'm not sure if those are
affecting me, too, or not.

I find that my sensitivity level goes up & down--and I'm not sure
what causes that. At it's worst, I couldn't watch TV, couldn't go
within 5' of a computer, and just walking through my apartment, I was
feeling all the wiring in the place--through the floor, walls, etc.
But I haven't been THAT bad in years. Mostly, it's the
appliances/machines & lights that I mentioned lately. Worst is trying
to survive under the lights in stores & offices. There was a time
when even stepping into a Walmart made me so ill, I'd run right out
again. Now, I can just force my way through it. But it still really
bothers me. If I could at least get help for that, that could make a
difference.

I have similar experiences. With fluorescent lights and so forth it's
likely
the problem is mid-range frequencies (dirty power, etc). At these
frequencies
one has to distinguish magnetic from electric, and I don't know which is
likely the problem. If your canopy does not help it could be the magnetic
(or both).

I don't know of a good meter for this range that is affordable. The
Stetzer meter is OK but only measures differential mode on the power
outlets.

If you find that turning off the breakers helps (although going near the box
may hurt), then I'm inclined to recommend plugging the fridge and other
offending appliances into an industrial strength power filter. Model 475
from iceradioproducts is what I have and I do think it helps (although
it's taken a couple weeks for me to improve, so it could be some other
factor).
There's another one at Filter Concepts but is more than twice the price.

I do suggest getting some way to measure magnetic fields, either
a simple buzz-stick or tri-field meter etc. Disconnecting transformers may
help. Switching transformers are in everything now and make tons of dirty
power. Plugging them in to a filter as I said above will help. The filter
should
have a dedicated ground but I have not done that yet. Even without
grounding
iceradioproducts is better than Stetzer, although more expensive (but a
Stetzer
is really limited in what it can do--but can work where you can't unplug the
source, like if it's outside your house).

Someone should modify a Stetzer meter to detect common mode. I guess
one would need a ground rod and wire.
