New to group

Here goes. I guess you all get this with every new person. "What the heck is going on?"
I've been dealing with MCS for afew years now I get a real computer (I'm onwebtv.)
and I get sick instantly!
I've been going to a holistic Doctor for about 6 months and she uses an EDMmachine on me. Is that a problem?
I have a 5yo girl and she loves the computer. What do I do to make her safe?
I'm 50 so I'm not surprized things are catching up with me but she has a long way to go.
Thanks for being here.    
Yours in peace from the chemically insane, Judi

Welcome Judi (although I'm sure you'd rather not be here!),

Reacting to a computer is similar to reacting to chemicals -- they both seem to
have (more or less) the same cause, and also the same cure. That is, they seem
(for the most part) to be due to excessive buildup of toxins (acidic wastes)
in the body, and also inadequate nutrition (or if you're eating well, poor
absorption). The "cure" is to (slowly) remove the buildup of toxins within
the body, either by taking substances which remove it from the body (chelators),
or by supporting your organs of elimination (liver, kidneys) so that they
can deal with it in the way a person with normal health would.

However, a cure is a long-term solution, and most people merely want to
feel better in the short-term. For that, you can eliminate all wireless
electronics from your house (wireless internet, cordless phones), replace
all energy-efficient compact florescent light bulbs with incandescents,
try to keep a distance from all electronics and power outlets, and increase
your intake of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, minerals, etc. You
may also have luck with certain EMF protection devices on the market (although
in some cases, these may actually make your symptoms worse). Also, the removal
of metal objects on your person (including dental work) will make you less
of an "antenna" for nearby electromagnetic fields.

Note that a person with normal health probably wouldn't have any difficulty
with your computer, so one cannot technically blame the computer, but rather
the blame should be on the poor health of the person experiencing the symptoms.
Of course, there are cases where people are exposed to high levels of
radiation, which could be caused by faulty electronics or faulty wiring.
In such cases an electrician would be need to fix the wiring, or the
electronics replaced with something else.

Given the MCS it is possible fumes, dust, or residue on the keyboard
are to blame. Try leaving the keyboard outside (not in the rain) for a week
or so. Same with the computer and monitor.

But it could be the RF, ELF or microwaves. Make sure any wireless features
are disabled. Then see if it's better keeping the screen and computer as
far from you as possible. Also the cords and power supplies.

I try to make time when the computer is used by my 5 year old the exception,
not the rule.
