Hi, Ian,
They were not sure. The pesticide in question is tralomethrin and they told me very little is known about this pesticide, as far as what happens inside a home where this was used. The studies show only that this pesticidebreaks down in about a year OUT DOORS. But the guy I talked to told me this could translate to many years indoors, where there is no rain, wind, cold, and perhaps few microbes to work on it. He said there is no way of knowing but 6 to 10 years is not out of the question. I can attest that I am still reacting 16 months later. There were no studies done inside using ozone and he could only say it might work or not. He said it could even make it worse (tho that is not usually the case). Since tralomethrin is the new pesticide of choice in motels, hotels, trains, boats, and planes you'd think that someone would have done better homework! Ah well..... It is also used extensively on veggies. I am highly allergic. No travelling for me and I now wince at broccoli. I still haven't ruled out ozone, Ian. But I have been putting it off because they told me 'I' should not be present when it is done due to my past blood brain barrier issues. My husband has been having serious health problems, too (and I think the pesticide has affected him and he just doesn't feel it physically the same as me.). Anyway, I would just like us both out of here. He has to have surgery in2 weeks and I was hoping he could recover in a new place. Not much movingto do--it comes fully equipped with furniture! (estate sale) I would be cleaning it top to bottom, tho. This house is affordable to try without selling our current house. If we tried it and it didn't work, we could probably resell and maybe even make money, depending on the small fixups we'd be doing. (I wouldn't plant 15 to 20ft trees right away, but would shield the windows, etc, inside first.) I also could ozone our current house intothe next century while we were trying that house out. ;) If it didn't make things worse, we could always return. Let me know how Sue likes the ozone machine.

Everyone is learning new stuff day by day on this subject, so all you can do is deal with what you know and can rationally predict and mix this with a little ce la vie, but not to much. I have noticed that galv iron security fencing near telephone masts really gives off some bad vibes, I think that its readily accepted that metal re-radiates, and takes on elec charge in high esmog areas, so I would tend to steer clear of large areas of metal in/around the home otherwise earth or paint some absorbant paint on the surface and so on, lots of hard facts on this one.

As with so many electrical appliances you never know how the thing will effect you until you have had it for a while.. When it comes to a house purchase, dont rush in, you might be better off renting in the area first if at all possible but obviously do your homework as if you were to purchase. If you are mild/intermittant ES, I would be very wary of moving into what is potentially a high esmog area ie tel masts, neighbours who love thier technology, offices and shops too close and so on, the way things are going these places are only going to get worse. I have a modicom of health by reasonable avoidance of the latter, but knowing how this can change if I accumulate to much esmog damage I would not take the chance of moving toward the smog, but rather away from it. Of course you cant predict to readily where/when a Tel mast will be errected hence my opening line. Still you dont sound like the sort who is complacant, I still think there are many Hard facts out there have you tried Electrosensitivity.org.uk and all the links etc..

Thanks Diane for the info about the possible adverse effect of ozone on the
blood-brain barrier. I hadn't heard about this; do you have a source or guidelines? It's significant because the blood-brain barrier is definitely implicated for Sue so I will have to be very careful! Fortunately Sue is away at the moment so any ozone left over will have had time to dissipate by the time she returns.

Basically, trees, lakes and anything with water in are good absorbers of
microwaves (and turn them into a small amount of thermal heat). But a proportion of waves can "leak" or "bend" round the side of trees, and also unless the leaf cover is very thick, some waves can penetrate. Deep inside a forest one is probably OK, but although a single line of garden trees helps, it's not perfect. In my Dad's back garden we noticed a significant difference in the signal between summer and winter when the trees had lost their leaves. One interesting "angle" is that we all of course absorb microwaves ourselves, being about 80% water. So if Sue and I are walking near a mast, I can walk on the mast side of her as a "human shield"! It does make some difference - the electrosmog detector shows the signal is significantly less where my body blocks it, but the effect only lasts for a couple of feet. (But we don't mind walking that close together!) But basically, as has been said, the biggest single difference comes from shielding windows, using the standard metallic gauze netting. Glass windows have virtually no blocking power (no water in them) whereas external walls are pretty good. However we've also seen "hot spots" inside a room where the beam was coming through a window in another room and then through a thin internal wall; or where it was coming down through the roof space (where there are only tiles or thin walls in the way of the beam).

I will read there and see what it says. I have ES alot while out driving in the car. My home is fairly good, ES-wise, but a nightmare otherwise. I only mentioned pesticides, but there is more to why I should move than this. I do notice that in small valleys and places where there are many trees, and specifically pine trees, or large bodies of water, I am better. I am worst on high open land or where I can visibly see the offending tower. When I first became ES again last year, I was puzzled why I got worse going down into a valley or coming back out. It turned out that the car was shielding me in some areas and when I went into or out of the valleys the frequencies were able to reach me because the car was at an angle. So there seem to be many situations which can positively affect ES. But since I don't live 24/7 in that atmosphere, I am not sure whether I can count on these positive situations to transfer to an environment in which I would live with cell and microwave towers on an ongoing basis. Also, there are many questions I have when one says trees don't work. How high are they? Are there satelite dishes or other electronics close by? What about the effects of various types of siding? Some say aluminum siding will protect the house, but then does that mean that it will reflect the frequencies out into your yard and make the yard "hot"??? Same with a fence or metal screening? It doesn't appear that there is much consensus on any of this. It seems very confusing. There doesn't seem to be alot of hard fact out there.

I remember that lady Cara who was on here seeking advice about buying a house ages ago to ease her ES husband's symptoms. She went for a house at the bottom of a hill with a mast on top of it, even though we all advised her against it, and we had a debate then about measuring devises versus gut instinct in choosing somewhere to live. She got the house and the last thing we heard as far as i recall (tho' i have been a bit out of touch for the past year) she reported back after a week in the new house that everything was great, and as far as i know (correct me if i'm wrong) we've not heard from her since (which i presume must be a good sign??) --- In eSens@yahoogroups. <mailto:eSens%40yahoogroups.com> com, paulpjc@... wrote: > > > In a message dated 6/23/2007 2:00:59 AM GMT Daylight Time, > evie15422@... writes: > > .

Hi, Ian,
No, I have no sources. The people I spoke with at the EHCD and National Pesticide Hotline both indicated that I would definitely not want to be present and mentioned my past health problems. They both said not to be involved with the ozone generator, because I asked specifically if I would be able to do this myself (as I wanted to do what I could to clean up and not have hubby doing every little thing). I asked both people because I thought the person from the EHCD was maybe making more of it than was necessary. Iam not sure whether the bbb was mentioned directly both times, tho I am sure it was mentioned by the person from the EHCD. (I still don't know if there is any hard science here. When you tell someone like that you have hadbbb issues, they sometimes over react.)

Hello Ian,
I must correct you here. Glass windows may have an enormous shielding capacity. I see that daily while measuring. But of course I am speaking about what we call HR++ glass, which is a very thermal insulating glass. The stone walls shield less than those window panes. It is difficult to say where *hotspots* originate from. They are small concentrations of high frequencies. I measure them as some balls (bigger than a tennis ball, but smaller than a football). I use a special meter with a magnetic antenna. I usually measure the *sitting positions* in living rooms, and over the beds. It is so possible to determine where people have trouble in their head, or their chest, or their abdomen, or legs.

Yes, true about special glass. I was thinking only of normal window glass
which is found in most houses. HR++ glass is quite expensive, and I wonder how it compares for cost with draping shielding fabric over the window. Also, of course, if visiting other people's houses, they are most unlikely to have special glass. Building materials' absorption is interesting, I guess there is some data somewhere on what absorbs best? Based on the water content alone I would guess it was: thick wood > brick > stone > thin wood, but of course absorption is also proportional to wall thickess, so thick stone walls could be very effective?

The one I got was from "Prozone" supplied by Vectair Industries of
Basingstoke. I think it may be US manufactured as it comes with a US plug and adaptor to UK 3-pin. The other company I noted were Ozone Industries Ltd in Farnborough (good website). Both of them sounded good and I went for Prozone because it was slightly cheaper and the spec seemed comparable. But I am no expert and there may be a significant difference between them.

In my experience when out walking, i have found that trees definitely
offer some protection from mast emissions, and i have heard the difference on my acousticom. I was walking yesterday about a mile from a big tall mast along a canal path that was shielded by trees for most of its length. Didn't have my acousti-com with me (annoyingly) but could definitely feel the rays. However the trees protected me enuff to prevent full on brain heating/migraine. (the only time when i felt the grip of the mast emissions loosen almost entirely, was when the trees were so tall that they also formed a canopy above my head). j --- In [hidden email], "Ian Kemp" <ianandsue.kemp@...> wrote: > > Basically, trees, lakes and anything with water in are good absorbers of > microwaves (and turn them into a small amount of thermal heat).

"Low E" glass coating is pretty much the default these days in the US. Last year when we replaced all of our windows, we had some difficulty getting good old fashioned clear glass (we wanted to preserve the view and let in lots of light) Marc |
In reply to this post by asurisuk
In my experience metal flyscreen works well *if* it is not weathered.
The crossing wires need to make electrical contact with eachother. On casement-style windows the screen is inside, not exposed to weather when the window is closed, and likely to work well. Low-E glass is apt to shield some, but the low-E glass on my house does not do much. Some metal tint (50% reflective) shield very well, while others do not (in the case of Scotchtint, 'amber metallic' shields well, but silver does not).

well, i'm pretty sure that the windows screen it out, and now i think
about it they're not even dbl glazed, but PVC. But i may be wrong. I will double check when i next visit home. --- In [hidden email], paulpjc@... wrote: > > > In a message dated 6/26/2007 11:27:37 PM GMT Daylight Time, > asurisuk@... writes: > > my dad has got bog standard double glazed windows in his bedroom, > which appears to screen out the rays from nearby mast. > > > > > Unlikely unless hes has low E glass coating ? > > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > |

Dear Julie,
I am using one of Vinnies Coherent Space Devices. I have used it since August last year or thereabouts. I have power poles that are too close to my inner city home and are emitting around 8- 12 mG throughout. One of my main symptoms was mental impairment. That is, I could not think straight, typed incoherently and experienced a vast memory loss among other things. Since I have been using Vinnies wonderful device my memory has returned, I no longer type backwards and it feels wonderful to have my mind back to normal. I don't feel so powerless and debilitated any more. If anything, Vinnies device addresses the mental impairment issues associated with EMR beautifully. I also have 2 friends in Australia (Melbourne) with similar issues to me who have invested in a device and both claim to have had the same mind enhancing experience with it. So I highly recommend the device if you are having mind /balance problems.

I recently began brewing kombucha at home so the fermented products are interesting to me and I like the ingredients used - especially in the Xtra (EM)(r) Filtered and SCD ProBiotica. I would love to hear from people who have taken either of these and had good results? Also, Vinny Pinto also does work with 'space coherence' according to one of the websites listed below. Has anyone ordered any of his products that supposedly help harmonize EMF energetics in the home? Thanks!

By the way, the houses here are all stucco, so they have a layer of chicken
wire in the walls. For an all wood house the effect of the windows might appear very different, ie less transmission than the walls instead of much more.
