Today I've worn it 6 hours (under my shirt) and after 2 hours I was getting suffocated in that carbon t-shirt! I was at a family gathering otherwise I would've gotten rid of that t-shirt much faster! In the future I may wear the t-shirt one hour before going to bed, so my "body voltage" lowers a bit...

That must be a good thing Ithink, definitely if you ground it when put one meter in the ground. If you can't do that I'm not so sure about a grounding outlet, because then you'd have to make sure there is no dirty emf.

I have been homeless for 3 years due to Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (I cannot find safe enough housing). It has become apparent that I am getting more and more sensitive to electrosmog, as I stay in Berkeley. I can feel the electrical fields coursing through my body all night when I'm in bed, and they severely disrupt my ability to concentrate and remember, whenever I am at home. I feel very agitated and often distraught and despairing. I've been trying very hard to move back to Marin County, where they have not yet installed Smart Meters, and where the density of cell phone and radio towers is less.
