cable tv boxes

i think tv cable box gives me chapped cracked lips

about 3 days with no cable tv box and red itchy spot on face is better i think  and lips are less dry and cracked

if the tv box was the reason well im just disgusted i suffered so many months

Cable TV boxes have been known to cause others problems as well... we have some people on these groups who cannot watch television at all, due to either the cable box or the TV set.

like what symptoms?i probably feel on edge when the cable box is on--the RF modulator for a DVD is bad i think--if i use a dvd player that doesn't require a RF modulator i guess its not as bad

but i think the cable box is the all time worst

wish i had a meter or saw a video on youtube of various readings of devices -particularly of this stupid cable box

do you think a flat screen is worse than a old   2002 CRT tv?i also have a  1983 black and white which is the best i guess

I don't think you can generalize based on the year something was made or the type of display technology.  As I've tried a lot of different computer monitors/TVs over the years that used cathode ray tubes, LCD with fluorescent backlights, and LCD with LED backlights, and in each category you can find particular models that are good or bad.  I do think that in general, newer usually means worse, but there are always exceptions to that rule.  For example, the computer monitor I use at home is less than a year old, and is one of the best monitors for ES that I've ever used.

what brand is the monitor?if im near the maganavox flat screen tv from 2012 even if its off a  red light will show and i feel i  have to turn off power strip or i cant sleep

small apt so no bedroom really to escape too


do people accuse people on this forum as being crazy tin foil hat types?

i guess some said that to me

> what brand is the monitor?

The good monitor I'm using right now is a 28" monitor from BenQ.  I actually went through about 7 different monitors to replace my aging previous monitor, and this was the first one I found that was acceptable (and actually probably better than the monitor it replaced).

> do people accuse people on this forum as being crazy tin foil hat types?

Of course -- people who don't have this problem often don't believe that such a thing exists... such is human nature....

connect a DVD player, game console, camcorder, or any other audio/video component to an older TV set that's only equipped with a coaxial or RF antenna input jack

thats an rf

Yes, RF was the old way that TVs were fed a signal, I'm not sure if that's an issue for ES people or not.  These days people use component/composite/HDMI cables, which CAN be an issue I think, especially with full high definition (1080i/1080p) content.  I set my cable box outputs to 720p to help out with that, and it DOES help me.

I have a definite opinion on a CRT monitor for a computer. I was using a CRT monitor 16 plus years ago and it caused shooting pains in the side of my neck. I really had to have use of a computer and the LCD monitors were really high back then. We bought one for $1100 or more and the pain stopped. I didn't like spending the money but it was a must. That was when I learned that I was electromagnetic sensitive and also sensitive to chemicals. That was soon after I had mercury fillings removed.

I would think the TV's would be similar to computer monitors.

i dont  think ive noticed the CRT tv is too bad --i dont know why i keep the old black and white tv as well...the crt tv seems when its off its off yet the flat screen has power in it because a red light is on so ill turn off power strip sometimes

maybe i should get rid of everything ,but the stupid cable box is just unreal -i think it drys mouth and skin-the emf waves are  that strong?has anyone ,measured these things?is there a list somewhere ? i guess each device varies

i think i  resent how doctors never ask or test for these electrical  things and they dont even talk about foods screwing up health anymore

didnt i see a youtube video about cfl bulbs and diabetes?i wonder if diabetes rates started getting worse around 1930 when long tube florescent lights came out

http://www.everydayhealth.com/diabetes/0209/can-electricity-cause-diabetes.aspxSome research claims there's a connection between diabetes and "dirty electricity" emitted from computers, TVs, mobile phones, and other everyday devices.

I am one of those scrap the cable people. There are plenty of options online.

I am off grid and so all I have for TV is a macbook across the room. I shield the bottom. I have flux installed for warmth and run half the time on only battery.

That said yes people think we are crazy. I am often completely outcast in my community because of it. More so because I live on low emf solar and the wtich hunt is really on for living w/ that primitive type of set up. I have been denied a lot of needed services due to that or not being able to tolerate wifi and people have been extremely mean and nasty once they find out about the ES. On the other side there is an agency that shops for me-they do not understand ES or care to think about it, but they are quite kind and go into the wifi health stores and get my food and stuff. so there's 2 sides to the coin.

I have been treated as a crazy when trying to obtain help from ADA law centers and dealt w/ some real nasties from more than one of these. There is going to come a time soon when I am going to put up a real stink. I have enough stress now, but as soon a me and my social worker has time, we will be coming after them, just as I did w/ the home help agency that discriminated against me and my off grid life.

Unless you are one VERY rich, so you can live in a remote area that allows opt outs or are willing to live w/ a smart meter, you will have to live off grid. It's not just ES but many other off grid folks are really demonised. Yes "green" is in, but green means having a grid tie system on your roof which requires 2 smart meters or maybe having a smart home. Those are big problems, not even taking health into consideration.

Media and advertising has big money behind it and these gadgets are a cash cow for the medical industry, cancer treatment business, utility and information marking industries. they are not going to let anyones' health stand in the way of the cash cow that wireless harm creates. Not now not ever.

Oops I meant to say that I find the equipment doled out by the cable companies a huge problem. I have an old telephony modem for use w/ say comcast good, the new stuff they require now makes me ill if it's in the same block, as it was in my last place. That was worse than the high emf stuff that floats around my new place. Also more mini strokes and lights on the RF meter. I have the cellular internet way back near the street behind my house-sends and receives but no hotspot capability-nothing compared to what those infinity boxes and the like put out from a block away. That is part of the issue they have made all the boxes some kind of hotspot.

At one time I had this paper thin "leaf" antenna. Really bought in the digital channels, by hanging this paper thin thing on the wall, but lots of dirty electricity, so I sold if on amazon. Think the digital signals are worse than the old analog.

that's the bottom line, darlin.... 

i dont drink enough water-i wonder if the devices drain me of more water-sounds crazy

a CD player left on all night may also be bad

with the old CRT tv and RF device at least i just unplug the dvd player and i guess it turns off

no cable on for 6 days  or 8 -large gashes in lip have healed but still somewhat dry-maybe as i age this happens
