Last Friday we had an electrician install outlets near our circuit box so we could plug in
Stetzer filters (the idea being they'd work more efficiently closer to the main box). The
plan worked great as far as that went -- our Stetzer readings are now down to 15, from
about 25 before. But now we have a new, serious problem.

1. Strong headaches for me, general very high pain for my husband, since Friday. Note
that we had 28 Stetzer filters plugged in before the electrical work was done at the circuit
box, and I was feeling noticeably better (no headaches except sometimes from working at
my old computer). And my husband was reporting surprisingly low pain levelsalso. So, we
do not think the new pain since Friday is caused by instaling Stetzer filters, near the circuit
box or elsewhere. We feel the filters were helping, and that is the reason we wanted to get
our Stetzer readings even lower by putting them nearer the main box.

2. Tonight I took out my old trifield meter and checked magnetic readings around the
apartment. We'd done this several times before and our magnetic readings used to be very
low throughout, except near fridge and furnace. (This is one of the reasonswe're still here
in spite of the other EMF problems.) Our magnetic readings are now VERY high (over 3
milligauss) especially near the circuit box.

I should add that headaches and pain are how my husband and I typically react to strong
magnetic fields. This probably is no surprise to anyone here.

My question is: Did the re-wiring done to install the new outlets somehow create these
strong, new magnetic fields? And if so, how can they be fixed? The electrician who did the
work was our landlord's "official" electrician - the only one they will allow us to use. I am
at my wit's end. I am prepared to sneak some other electrician in here, butI'm not sure
how to frame the problem. Obviously the electrician who created this problem didn't do it
on purpose, and if I brought him back in here he probably wouldn't know howto UNDO
the damage. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
