Greetings all,
Allow me to briefly introduce myself. We've lived in a house which
has had EMF/EMR levels which some of you would probably gasp at, for
twenty years. I'm talking EMF (strictly AC Magnetic) levels of over
100 milligauss in my Dad's room by his head where he sleeps due to the
fusebox proximity, 50 plus in the kitchen on the floor, 25 plus by my
feet in front of the computer, 4 or more mg in my Mom's bedroom, 30-50
in the bathroom, ambient readings of 10-15 in the air in the living
room...and now we have (for how long, I don't know) RF signals (of
what exact strength and from exactly where I don't know, because all I
have is a multi-directional "broadband" style Zapchecker 185 Meter,
which will tell me pretty much where it's stronger and where it's
not). And there's a bit of an AC field on the wall near one corner of
the heard of my bed, which consists of two spring mattresses on a
wooden frame. (My Mom's got a natural latex mattress on a pure wood
frame, but that was with financial help from someone - no way can we
afford that now ourselves).
I started to become aware of the whole EMF/ES issue maybe a couple of
years ago, lord knows how, but I was furious once I realized how much
people are being kept ignorant about it, on purpose, of course.
I don't think I can say that I have severe ES. I've used a computer
for hours and hours, and once owned a cellphone, though I'm extremely
happy that a so called "leak proof" water bottle leaked all over it
and destroyed it, the hunk of crap. ;)
However, I do feel better with an LCD versus a CRT. And I don't take
well to fluorescent lights, and despise the look (and how I feel
around CFLs). Nor do I enjoy talking on cordless phones. The last
time I used one, was at someone else's place and a friend unexpectedly
talked to me for a long time on a 2.4 GHZ one, and the side of my head
and me overall, were feeling kind of funny after that.
I've had tinnitus for years though it's not severe, and I wager that
it has something more to do with going to loud parties when I was younger.
I have struggled with health issues for much of my life. Physically,
I'm quite fit appearing - slim, good lean muscles, good endurance in
some activities...but I've been prone to depression, other emotional
problems, fatigue, an officially recognized but little known disorder
by which the brain perpetually functions in a state of visual
perception based on hallucinogen use (severity depends on the
individual, of course - I've dealt with it for maybe 6 or 7 years, and
can function quite normally, and generally see quite normally, but
it's like having television static in front of your eyes, particularly
in the dark, and other visual disturbances/perception issues at times,
though my coping and probably the symptoms have greatly improved), a
lifelong issue with recurring candida, and only a year and a half or
so ago did I realize that, through an accurate antibody (or was it
antigen?) and genetic test that I have immune sensitivities and
reactions to gluten and dairy - I developed psoriasis on my elbows at
the pick of my beer drinking and eating rye bread with cheddar cheese
sandwiches phase - but it's since vanished!
It seems like I've been prone to nerve and immune related issues. Oh,
I also have some degree of Chemical Sensitivity. We don't use any of
that garbage here, but I've had some hard times at jobs where
customers wear so much perfume that you can smell them 20 feet away,
or been expected to use such things as windex and oxy-clean). My
tolerance is now somewhat improved, but I do my best to avoid.
Regarding the possibility of me have ES - well, I feel that 2 decades
in an electrically unhealthy home, combined with a cellphone for a
while, and however many accumulated hours of cordless telephones and
whatever else probably didn't do me the best. (We had WiFi for a
while, too, but got rid of that devilry for a much more reliable and
safer wired router).
Since I've been back home (was away for four months), I've been
feeling worse. Lethargic, impatient, sometimes my hands and feet have
tingled/hands have felt like they're burning, etc, a lack of
coordination and clumsiness, just overall feelings of things not being
right, or sometimes "I HAVE to get off of this computer/out of the
house NOW". I'm sure you know what I mean.
Whatever it is, it hasn't been fun.
No doubt there are certain environments I don't like being around/in.
I've always hated how I feel in most stores and malls, a lot of
plazas, some parts of cities, some libraries (found out ours has WiFi,
the a**holes, pardon my tongue)...I know it's a combination of things
- the poor air quality, outgassing products, the general zombie like
state of some people there, slackjawed and going through merchandise,
glued to their cellphones, the poor lighting, and all the EMR.
I don't always feel good in other people's houses - could it be their
phones, their networks, their scented candles? Who knows? I can cope
with some things, but what I'm getting at is that I seem to respond
unfavorably to some stimuli. (My thoughts are that others probably
may too, but dull themselves with so much that they can't feel it - yet!)
Aaaannnywaaay...that was a rather long and winding preamble about my
overall health, I just thought I'd start with that as everyone here
seems to describe their own circumstances.
SO:
After a lot of persistent asking, we decided to do something about the
high Electromagnetic readings we were getting in the house. What we
did was install a di-electric coupler to the main incoming water pipe.
Result?: Some areas of considerable EMF reduction! - in front of my
computer, where it went as high as 25 or so milligauss, is now down to
a maximum of 4, unless I get the Trifield meter to the powerstrip,
where of course it'll jump way up. In the kitchen, only about 2 mg,
where before it was around 35 and up to fifty. The bathroom, much
lower overall, except one spot right above a transformer or perhaps a
main pipe bend that still carries a high EMF level.
QUESTIONS (for those who might know): WHY would the living room's
ambient (head/body level) readings not have diminished? Could it be
because it's above the basement crawlspace where the main ground-wire
is?
And WHY would turning my computer on, upstairs, make the reading on
the floor in the living room above the main water line JUMP up by 15
milligauss?
-------------------
My Dad's room is about the same I'm guessing, because it's above the
damn fuseboxes - truth is, he's known about this issue longer than me,
but money's always been an issue, and though he has some troubles, he
seems to be more resilient in the "sensitivity to things" department
than me or my Mom.
----------------
But I've been so serious about it lately (and been feeling so crappy)
that we've started to take some steps. The next thing my Dad says he
wants to do is make sure all of the outlets and everything is properly
grounded. (This house is an older house, and has been through three
previous owners, all of whom probably contributed some sort of mess to
the wiring situation. We've got pipes on the basement ceiling, wires
all over the place, etc., etc).
After this, we'd like to get someone in here who also deals with
"dirty electricity" as well as the standards of body voltage, EMF/AC
readings, and who actually has a decent directional RF meter to get a
sense of the source and strength of the RF signals. (We turned off
all the power, and the RF was the same, so it's gotta be from outside.
I can't see towers from our street, but in a 25 minute walk-about, I
can count probably 4 or 5 tall ones, plus a couple of arrays on water
towers - and just what is that doing to the vibrational structure of
our water, huh?) People and their f***ing cellphones, pardon my
obscenities, it's just verbalizing my frustration.
Maybe it's that or maybe it's our neighbors, I don't know what their
phones are like, but one thing's for sure, different parts of our
house pick up and re-radiate the signal - some parts in my room, it's
strong by the window! (I've got RF Swiss Shield Fabric, but haven't
gotten it up yet, because right now my meter's broken and I don't want
to bounce the signal around more, just reduce it), but I don't know
the exact source of it, and we don't use anything wireless.
So yeah, if we could, we'd just up and move right now, but that's
currently not an option, so we're aiming to make this place as much of
a safe reprieve that we can actually rejuvenate in instead of feeling
sick, for the time we're still here.
---------------------------------
So What Else Am I doing?
Well, obviously, if you're allergic to perfume, you don't spend your
time in department stores. If you're sensitive to electricity, you
wanna try and reduce your exposure to give yourself a chance to heal,
right? That's why I've been so persistent in trying to make some
improvements here. The overall magnetic reduction is a good start!
There are still some funny spots to take care of, ideally I'd like
zero measurable milligauss, but some of this might take a qualified
electrician and/or mu-metal and/or a relocation of the fusebox.
Next is finding a way to deal with these radio frequencies!
And I'd be thrilled with a cotton spring free futon on an untreated
wood frame for a bed.
Apart from that, I cut out junk food a long time ago, well before all
of this. I'm a proponent of organic. I do drink some tea and yerba
mate, but they are organic (I realize that they contain caffeine). No
dairy except butter, I wish it was raw but we can't get that, no sugar
(have used honey sometimes, but if I overdo it and fruit, my Candida
gets worse), nothing artificially flavored, we don't use a microwave
oven, I do eat meat, but the "worst" of it is free range chicken with
no antibiotics, the best is all organic, free of crap and fully
pastured.
No alcohol these days, or other drugs (apart from the caffeine in my
teas :D ) - was two ten day courses of antibiotics this year, not my
first choice but had two infected injuries in rather critical places,
my knee joint and my face (don't ask, long story), so didn't wanna
risk them, though it may have upset my intestinal flora.
Am trying to sort out my digestive issues and chew better, I have a
very very fast metabolism. I have no fear of fat consumption, well,
at least, I use quality coconut oil, some butter, fat from good
animals, some uncooked extra virgin organic olive oil, I eat some nuts
but stay away from peanuts, and try to eat loads of veggies and dark
leafy greens, but I slack off on that sometimes.
I usually have lemon juice with cayenne and turmeric in it, and I love
ginger.
Have taken probiotics and fermented vegetables throughout but
inconsistently.
Pharmaceutical grade fish oil, too, but not always consistently. A
multivitamin, sometimes Cal/Mag in the evenings when I remember.
I've tried various homeopathics/flower essences, including some of the
Bach Flower ones and "Electro" by Australian Bush Flowers, to perhaps
some success, but again, need to be more consistent.
I've gone through a round of clay detox baths, one for radiation, one
for "environmental", a broad spectrum sort of coverage, I guess.
Sporadic metal cleanses, cilantro pesto, that sort of thing.
DEVICES: I'm a big fan of protective devices, but have yet to decide
what works best for me. I guess I'm an "experimenter", but it can be
damn expensive to experiment like that.
I've tried:
-Geomack - unsure, though possibly good, but I knocked it over several
times and it sounds like something could be loose...arrrgh. But I
still keep it around.
-Cook's Diode - somewhat effective I think, but not a great deal.
-RA*D*AR - really energetic at first, but then I lost it.
-"Harmonic Protector" - didn't really like it.
-Crystal Catalyst Bead - Possibly something, but didn't seem too strong.
-Currently, a Pulsor AcuPulsor (like a pendulum, but they claim it can
be used as a pendant, which I'm doing) - interesting, probably not as
effective as their actual pendant or their discs, which are very
expensive, but I sure felt some interesting things with the point
above my "third eye" area!
I have a BioProtect on the way, based on some of the recommendations
here, and I'd love to evaluate one of Vinny Pinto's devices! I hope
he'd be up for it, with me as a non-"scientific", but rather
interested and subjective researcher, subjective of course, since
device wise, we're dealing with things which, as he so eloquently
explains, don't actually MEASURABLY reduce EMR.
I'm interested in springlife polarizers.
What else will I do? Keep working on the house as time and money
permit, keep trying to get out and into the woods for a bit of
reprieve, though because of proximities, I can still get RF readings
there (is no place sacred anymore?), but I feel that being in nature
and at least away from powerlines is still a good thing.
-Keep on weight training and walking (I don't drive, anyway) - I think
it's been discussed before here, but I really feel that exercise is
good for ES folks)!
-I don't know if I once had mercury fillings as a kid - I might have,
but if so, they've long been replaced by "white fillings" - I've got
to check on that, but keep on detoxing, I've been taking chlorella
without noticeable ill effect, and once tried PCA-Rx, but it didn't
seem to do much for me.
-Try and stay alkaline - I've had acidity problems in the past, and am
prone to stress and anger and sadness and frustration - PLEASE try to
avoid them (said to you all and myself)- they screw up your pH and
weaken your system.
-I guess keep my head up when trying to explain to people/educate. It
can be easy to get so angry, because it can seem like odds are stacked
against you, and folks can be so resistant to hearing something that
they've been brainwashed into believing can't be true (or they don't
want to consider it because if they did, they might have to change
something, heaven forbid).
-I guess everything I can keep doing, as much as money permits.
Dealing with this can be aggravating - it can be costly, and more so
if you're limited in the way of what you can do/where you can be
because of the increasingly unhealthy environments that people, in
their extraordinary ignorance, are creating. My ideal goal is to be
well enough to have no ill effects from any place, but my ultimate
goal would be to have the world changed so that any place, is safe for
any one!
-------------------------
Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, answers, questions, or
whatever, I'd love to hear from you. This is an amazing group, and I
sincerely hope for us to all be as well as possible, and for the world
to wake up and correctly act upon dismantling this and other such
bizarre experiments, all of which seem to be tied to unsustainable
methods, commercial interests, gullibility, and ignorance!
And I'll let you know of my own progress, which will hopefully only be
positive. Ah, and sorry for the lengthly message, that was not
anticipated...I just...started typing.
Easy all.
