Is UV the issue with halogens? I thought it was the
transformers that convert AC to DC...

I don't know...just looking for input. I think of transformers as something I can hear & these are quiet.
What about GE Reveal light bulbs - "broad spectrum" but not full spectrum. Anyone know anything about those re UV?

As far as I know, all of the incandescent full spectrum bulbs
don't put out UV. That includes Chromalux, Verilux... They
are actually falsely advertised as being "full spectrum", but
I like these better than regular bulbs anyway.

Also, I did some searching on UV and Halogen, and the manufacturers
claim that the amount of UV they put out is minimal. I avoid
halogen bulbs because I'm under the impression that they are
worse for people with ES than incandescents, but I'm not
sure if this applies to me or not.

I like the GE Reveal ones I think as well or nearly, as the full
spectrum. Full spectrum being the visible light field.

I haven't noticed a problem with halogen at home, but I only have a
small worklight with it, I don't feel that I'd like the house full.  
It is one of the gasses, I can't think of the name at the moment,
like xenon and others. That would be something to look at, if the
gasses bother you.

There are UVA and UVB light bulbs you can buy in the pet store. I
like these, sometimes one better than the other, you just have to try
it. I don't like the UV from the blacklights, it feels almost
tangible, the radiation it puts out.

Just have to try and see what works for your own self I think.

Here is a page that contains a lot of information
on halogen bulbs (towards the bottom of the page):

from this, I see that halogen bulbs *don't* have
a DC transformer, and should be about the same
as an incandescent from an ES perspective.

Hi all,

I had an NMT session yesterday (http://nmt.md). This
certainly falls into the "weird" category of treatments,
but is supposed to fix inappropriate immune system
responses and all kinds of allergies, which ES certainly
could be considered to be. From the things I've read,
one cannot expect to be cured the day after the first
treatment -- instead, the treatment is supposed to
allow the body to *start* healing (fixing problems
in the nervous system that have been preventing healing),
so it may take days, weeks, months. It also may
take more than one treatment -- five to ten is on
the order of what most practitioners seem to say
(e.g. http://www.drbloem.com/nmt.htm)

My reaction to the treatment was that I did feel
different during the session. Then, for the
rest of the night, I felt a bit "shaken" (traumatized?).
This morning, I feel muscle aches all over.
I don't feel magically cured, but I'm going
to watch out for any differences in my reactions
to things... and I've got a second appointment
scheduled for a month from now.

BTW, NMT has only been around since 2002, and
was created by a chiropractor who used to
do NAET for allergy problems.
