Re: High EMF in my home.

The most practical thing you can do inside your house is turn the power
off at night from the fuse box, so whatever magnetic field is being kicked up from your inside wiring is dissolved. The outside magnetic fields are either coming from overhead power lines or underground power lines. Those could be blocked if you had about $150,000. The good thing is magnetics field drop significantly when you move away from the source. You need to find the most immediate source to your immediate area and get away from it. Wires may be running under your floor that are kicking up magnetic and electrical fields. Hopefully it is an inside wiring issue that can be fixed with a good electrician that knows about neutral wires and balancing the phases. Get rid of your dimmer switches. Turning the power off will fix that too. Look into RF/Microwave radiation as a source for your symptoms as well. Turn off your WiFi, cell phones and cordless phones and bribe, cajole or whatever your immediate neighbors to do so as well. Basically everything going on in their house is being broadcast into yours (diminished a little. I love to exaggerate as if this shit wasn't serious enough.) They can put aluminum foil over their WiFi antenna to diminish the range or simply remove their antenna. You can get a relatively cheat RF meter to check that ($150). I won't say which one or the pros on this list will jump on me for endorsing the other guy's product. Then you'll need to get a body voltage meter to see how much electricity is running through your body or your child's body at night in bed or where ever your spend time during the day (sitting on couch, sofa, chair, changing table). Fortunately these meters are cheap ($25-50). Quick fix is to turn the power off at night for many issues except cell tower, cell phones, etc (RF and microwave radiation). Get rid of your metal in your bed (no box spring). Remove clock radios and anything electric from your the area around your bed (if you are not turning the power off). That's a start. Good luck and hope you find some relief soon. Andrew On Aug 11, 2008, at 11:07 AM, nnc200 wrote: > Dear All, > > I am new to this group.

Yes, some products which claim to help with EMF do indeed help, but some may be too costly or impractical depending on how much money and energy you want to put into this. Some people have gone so far as to put shielding materials on their walls and windows, some have used "EMF protection devices" that they carry with them or put onto their fuseboxes, some have turned off their power at the breakers, etc. Some things to look at first: * buy an outlet tester and see if all your outlets are wired correctly. If not, have someone fix them. * replace all dimmer switches with regular switches * replace all energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs with incandescent bulbs * replace cordless phones with corded phones * replace wireless Internet with wired Internet * move all electronics as far away from where you sleep (TV, clock radio) * Minimize the amount of metal you have on your body (jewelry, eyeglasses, dental work, underwire bra, etc.) Marc |

Cell antennas would be RF.

True... I'm just trying to identify what possible sources could be causing the symptoms. Marc |

Certainly the radiation from the data in the cables could be giving off significant rf, check that you are not near the cables also telecom cables. Try using a very cheap AM radio set to white noise to detect such radiation ie will give off noise good to check the partition walls especially if you sit in a sofa against one if the neighbout has a large lcd tv or the like on the other side you will be getting zapped. puk [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

I am in the same boat. We really like our house but our five year old
son is sleeping in our bedroom now in the back of the house because the powerline in front is giving me a reading of 5mG in his bedroom. I really don't know if I need to move or not. I am thinking that the houses on the street are using lots of ac which makes the magnetic field from the powerline stronger - maybe the reading will go down when the weather cools. I've had Dominion out to my house but the guy said that he sees lots of homes with mag readings much higher than mine (from a stove or stove clock etc) and so there's not anything that can be done about the powerline's emissions. I would sell right away were it not for the fact that I can't find anything as nice on the market at the right price. --- In [hidden email], NO Name <nnc200@...> wrote: > > The homes on my block are all pretty close together.

I am not the expert on the best location or prices on these items.
I have the aaronia Profi II for the RF and an expensive guass meter and also a TRIFIELD meter which I usually use to measure Electric and Magnetic fields in hotel rooms (as well as a number of cheap and pretty worthless RF meter/toys). I am not going to endorse one or the other. Please, lessemf and others, please chime in with your suggestions. thanks, Andrew On Aug 13, 2008, at 3:39 PM, NO Name wrote: > Thanks for the reply.

For RF, a low cost and very sensitive meter is the Electrosmog Meter http://www.lessemf.com/rf.html#492 For Body Voltage, see Body Voltage Sensor at http://www.lessemf.com/es.html#183 (note: you will need a volt meter to go with it) Emil |

Hi Marc
You mention an outlet tester - where would you get one of those suitable for UK electricity systems?
