Can you say more about the sewing machine? I can't find it...

Hi all, thanks to everyone who has had suggestions for Nicole and me. Just
quickly, to clarify her reactions to batteries, that is to any
battery-operated device, including tiny LED flashlights. She is fine if the
item is off, but once turned on the tiny magnetic field is enough to give
her symptoms, even from a good distance away. We have to use candles (found
one that is MCS safe for her!), and wind up watch. Yes, she has felt tiny
watch batteries!

best,
Jason

An LED flashlight may use switch mode voltage converters, possibly
within the LED bulb.

Listen with an AM radio and try a regular bulb flashlight...

Hi Bill,

Do you mean the handcrank mechanical sewing machine? It's completely powered mechanically by rotating by hand. It's a little hard in that one hand is used up by rotating the crank, but it's still work-able.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-XKviOoCV8&feature=related
http://www.allbrands.com/products/abp07138.html

There's also a treadle (foot pedal) version, also purely mechanical. However, takes up more space.

I've heard industrial seamstresses may have higher rate of Alzheimer's possibly due to the AC EMF. Hence, I've wanted to get one of these for a while. Previously, they were only antiques available that I could find, but nowapparently it's being sold new.

Yup, I just checked one of mine; it's not tiny (2 AA, with three brightnessmodes and strobe, and pretty bright at full power); at medium and high levels it makes the AM radio screech.  Can't say it's bothered me to use it,but still, interesting...

Hi Marc - no it is just much the same as my reaction to cell phones etc - exhaustion, pain, sore throat and glands and migraine/ neualgia type  headache.

Does the battery give you the same kind of symptoms that you get from other
EMF sources, or are the symptoms you get from the battery unique?

My reaction is independent of it being connected to the charger and pluggedin on charge - I still react to it. With my eyes closed I could tell you whether it was in the room or not.

But is it connected to a charger when you react?
The DC electric field should be very easy to screen.
A piece of foil across the (insulated) connectors should
do it (don't short out the battery).

Okay, thanks for that... with all this talk about batteries, I think
I'm going to try wearing a battery-free (self-winding) watch, rather
than the battery ones I have been wearing.

(and then there's the issue of the "glow-in-the-dark" dials/hands,
which at one time was radioactive... not so sure these days)

Sorry to keep asking questions... I'm just trying to be scientific..

Did you try holding a portable AM radio near the battery, listening for
anything on any frequency on the dial? It's possible there's some kind
of electronic charge controller built in (does it have any little lights on
it?).

If it is the DC electric field affecting you, it should be very easy to
shield that so it would not affect you unless you were very close.
