Hi there,
well, it's about 35 on average, but it very briefly peaks of over 100
- although that could be well exaggerated by the old design of the
meter, it's hard to accurately tell.
I do not like to say I'm electrosensitive. I know that in some cases
or places I don't feel great, such as a day in the city has usually
left me feeling "wacked out"...but given the overall chaos of a city,
and the super high RF levels, that's probably no surprise for anyone
not accustomed to it...I'm not keen on spending hours on a computer,
and I move away from appliances when possible, but that may just be my
own sense of self preservation, because of all of what I've learned.
Don't like being around towers, obviously!!! Even it's psychological.
Rooms or stores fully lit by fluorescent tubes are something I stay
in for as little time as can be, and I've felt aggravated by working
in close proximity to CFL bulbs. They do, of course, also give off a
harsh, crappy light, and I know what else. I feel things sometimes,
but it's difficult to correlate them to something else, exactly. I'm
fortunate not to have some reactions like some people here do. I
sometimes wonder how much of what I feel is because of what I know,
like, I have tended a lot to emphasize the negative, or to feed what I
fear happening, with fear. It's a bad habit. ;)
Somewhere, there's a thread where Robert Thinker among others share
their thoughts on focus and intent and manifestation. They're all
things I've struggled with in regards to my health and view of the
world. I'm still working on them.
My goal is to strengthen myself as much as possible so as not to react
to things, but also - to avoid them as much as I can, ie, avoiding
cities, towers, wireless anythings, crappy lighting, hot-spots, etc.,
and to stop people from hurting themselves, or me.
I'm always preaching to people, prevent, prevent, prevent! Use the
Precautionary Principle! How many lessons does humanity need to repeat
before we demand and apply it to what needs it's application?
Ahem, so to summarize, I'm not EHS. I feel some things, but I do my
best to practice avoidance, and to heal and be as strong as I can when
I am exposed to things. I hope to educate people and help them bring
about change through awareness.
And if I can do something like shield a magnetic field, why not? Even
if it's for my own peace of mind...although I really am glad to hear
other's voice their opinion that it's probably nothing to worry about.
I can't say that I feel any ill effects from the camera.
Best,
R.
