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! :-) Marc luminous_blue wrote: > Hi, I'm new to the group--so, wanted to first say hello to everyone > here.

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 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. ;-) > > 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. 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.
