I agree with all this - but I also think that a list such as this can do
more than help us find good solutions to our problems - it could, in the
long run, mean that ES becomes more widely known, especially in medical
circles. In my opinion, there can never be too much high quality
communication!  

The more widely known ES is, the more people can be diagnosed who don't
know what's wrong with them - and helped. I also see the process of
understanding why something either works or doesn't work as aprt of the
process, perhaps not at the top of the agenda, but nevertheless still an
item on it.

I think this is a very good list and I'm learning heaps. Also love
talking to people about a condition that so many don't even realise
exists, and which can be quite scary.

It seems that some people joined this list for some sort of theoretical
discussion of EMF fields and frequencies. This was not the purpose of
this list. This list is to help electrically sensitive people improve
or overcome their condition. This does not require any sort of
engineering background or knowledge about EMF frequencies and fields.
Just some practical advice from others about what has worked for them
and what hasn't.

Wille's approach seems to be that the first step to a solution is having
a sound theory and scientific studies to back it up. But that's not how
things always work in science and real life. Sometimes you find
something that works, and then you go back and try and understand *why*
it works.

When I first got ES, I looked for the most scientific-sounding
solutions. I moved EMF sources away from me, which helped a little. I
bought a glass grounding shield on my computer monitor, which helped a
little. I bought an LCD monitor, which helped a little. I bought some
EMF shielding materials, bought some gauss meters, etc. But even with
all that, I could still not enter my place of work, and I could still
not stand being in a grocery store longer than a few minutes.

So then I tried an EMF protection device. Of the ones I looked at, the
Q-Link pendant sounded the most scientific and had good testimonials, so
I tried that. It didn't help at all. So then I tried the Bioelectric
shield. Didn't help. Then Tachyon energy discs. I noticed something
from this, but not enough to make any practical difference. Eventually
I found the Quantum Products, which were the first of several useful
things I found. But their website didn't sound scientific at all. In
fact, they had a piece of software to helped with computer EMF, which
sounded absolutely crazy to me! I eventually concluded that there was
no correlation between how good something sounds scientifically and how
well it actually works. In fact, I was seeing almost the opposite trend
-- the crazier something sounded, the more likely it was to help!

So, even though I'm engineer, and even though several years ago I
demanded to know how things worked, in the end the only thing which
really mattered was that it works! Now I'm able to go into my workplace
and go into a grocery store, and that's all that matters to me.

I think if one looks up the history of aspirin, you will also find that
nobody knew how it worked originally, even though it was commonly
prescribed and used. People just knew that it worked. It didn't really
matter to them why/how it worked. Eventually I think someone figured
out how it worked, but at that point it was pretty irrelevant to the
millions of people who already knew that it worked.
