power surge protector

I just ordered and received this poewr sentry surge protector from quantum
health, as they advertised it helps block emf....but it doesn't say that on the
box at all? does this work at all for that? confused...

Hi Jill,

Could you provide a link to the product you bought?

Thx,
Beau

The power strips sold at QuantumProducts.com are modified power strips
manufactured by Power Sentry. They do help with EMF -- in fact, I use
these around my computer almost all the time. They don't help 100%,
but are part of an overall solution.

Marc, picking up on an old (December) exchange between you and Jill regarding
the Quantum Power Strip. I received mine last week and like Jill was confused by
the packaging, which does not mention any EMF protection effect. (I almost
returned it thinking they had sent me the wrong item.) If you know, can you say
more about the modification that has been done to these power strips? And,
does Power Sentry do the modification, or is it done by Quantum Products to the
standard power strip manufactured by Power Sentry?

I am also curious, since I am now trying to reduce EMF at my own workplace
rather than just in my husband's home environment -- in your experience, does
the Quantum Power strip work even if the electrical outlet itself is not correctly
grounded? My ability to ground outlets will be limited at work... I can just imagine
what my boss would say if I started bringing in electricians and opening up the
walls... Do you think the Quantum Power will help regardless?

Thanks,
Cara

As far as I understand it (and I could be wrong), they take a standard Power
Sentry power strip, and then they expose it to a strong magnetic field of
some sort, which alters the materials in some way (I believe it aligns the
particles in a way that's similar to what an MRI does to a person). Then,
when you plug in the power strip, the power strip generates whatever
electromagnetic field that it would already, but the field is altered
because of the altered materials. The altered materials cause the
field generated by the power strip to be "coherent", and when these
coherent fields interact with other "incoherent" fields in the environment,
those fields become more coherent as well. Supposedly the human body
prefers coherent fields to incoherent ones, so the body reacts better
to the environment.

The stock power strip from Power Sentry also contains a EMI/RF filter,
which I'm sure also has some beneficial effect.

Note that I've found the same model of power strip in my local hardware
store, and bought that and compared it to the Quantum version, and they
do have a very different effect. In fact, I reacted negatively to the
one from the hardware store (perhaps the EMI/RF filter is not so good
after all?), but positively to the one from Quantum, even though on
the surface they look like the same product.

I don't know anything about the circuit needing to be properly
grounded -- my feeling is that all you need is to have it turned on
and have electricity for it to work. Mine has a "ground" light which
I assume means that the ground is working properly.

Note that the power strip doesn't even need to have something plugged
into it to work. It works by proximity, and affects any EMF within
about 7 feet from it. I don't have anything plugged into mine, and
have it sitting next to my computer monitor, as the computer monitor
is what causes me the most trouble.
