Hi Soula,

I don't have any info for you as I am a newbie to this subject too
but I have a question:

I feel very uncomfortable and invaded by energy sitting at my
computer and was surprised to find that there were no readings on my
regular Trifield meter where I am sitting.

Now I understand that the Trifield meter is not particularly
sensitive so I am wondering what kind of readings you get on
your "extended sensitivity" meter and where you got it?

I have moved the tower right away but I still can't stand being at
the computer long. What's more, the more time I spend at the
computer, the more bothered I am by the EMFs elsewhere.

Best wishes,
Aline

Hi, I joined the group 3-4 weeks ago and have been reading back
messages. I have a lot to ask and say but am trying to minimize
computer time, esp. since I got an "extended sensitivity" trifield
meter that shows that I am sitting in a maxed out Electric field
right now (4 feet away from my flatscreen monitor but obviously
touching the keyboard).

My pressing question at the moment is about computer shielding. I
don't mean the monitor, which was all that I used to worry about, I
mean the fact that the entire computer (desktop) and even the mouse
and keyboard are putting out huge fields. You have to get several feet
away from them for the field to start to drop, and so you can't use
the mouse or keyboard at all.
 
My most obvious problem so far has been with magnetic fields, and I
have been going to extreme lengths to get away from those. But I'm
afraid my symptoms are getting worse, and want to minimize exposure
but this computer thing is hard to figure out. I looked at lessemf.com
but they do not seem to grasp this problem and only focus on shielding
the monitor or getting away from IT.

It appears that anything plugged into the computer, including
headphones, mic, etc. all carry the field full-strength, including
along the entire length of the cable.

any ideas? I didn't see any discussion in the archives, not that I
could track down.

thanks for this Group!
