Strong electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of about 50 to 60 cycles per second

(hertz, or Hz) and the related electromagnetic radiation (EMR) are harmful to

us.

Long-term exposure may aggravate any existing health problems or diseases and

may cause or intensify especially lack of energy or fatigue, irritability,

aggression, hyperactivity, sleep disorders and emotional instability. Increasing

numbers of individuals are becoming hypersensitive to EMR; many can feel the

electricity going through the body and may experience disabling symptoms such

as convulsions, memory problems and depression.

 

Chronic exposure to high levels of EMR, especially while asleep, is a

constant drain on our vitality. It creates chronic stress, which interferes with

the

regeneration and healing that normally takes place during a good night's

sleep. You may compare it to always swimming against a strong current and this

may

well make the difference between recovering from a serious disease and

succumbing to it. For more information on health problems due to electricity and

many

case reports see www.emrsafety.8m.net.

 

EMR exists around power lines, power tools, electric stoves, heaters,

boilers, freezers and television sets when in use, extending several feet or

yards

around the appliance. Stay away from them if possible. Using an electric iron or

an electric keyboard or working with handheld power tools can quickly drain

our energies. When working with electric equipment we can reduce harmful

effects by holding our hands under running water from time to time in addition

to

having a shower in the evening or walking barefoot on grass.

 

Try to minimise electromagnetic pollution, especially while sleeping when the

pineal gland is most susceptible. Also sleep in the dark or at least cover

your eyes to produce the immune-stimulating hormone melatonin. Preferably switch

off all power points in the bedroom and unplug all electric leads with

2-prong plugs before going to sleep but definitely any power points or leads

close

to the bed. This applies also to waterbeds which need to be unplugged

overnight.

 

If the head faces a wall with power-points or other electric wiring inside

the wall close to the bed then move the bed towards the middle of the room so

that you can walk around the bed. The best sleeping position is with the head

towards north or otherwise somewhere between north and east.

 

When using an electric blanket, warm the bed beforehand and pull out the plug

at the wall when you go to bed. Do not habitually remain within a few metres

of a working electric appliance, minimise fluorescent lighting, watching

television, using video games, computers and even electric typewriters and

hand-held electric tools.

 

Stray currents and radiating fields can still be emitted from electric wires

even if appliances are switched off. AC electric fields do not disappear when

an appliance is switched off, only AC magnetic fields disappear. Keep live

wires away from your body. Preferably do not live near high-voltage lines,

microwave towers or electric-train tracks.

 

Television sets also emit harmful X-rays. Preferably sit as far away as

conveniently possible. The field is strongest directly in front and at the back.

View the set at an angle and restrict your exposure to only a few programs daily

- the fewer the better. Computer monitors apparently have stronger radiations

to the sides than to the front.

 

Electro-proofing your house

 

The measures outlined so far will go some way to reduce the harmful effects

of EMR on your health. However, often they are not enough. There is a simple

way to check if your home and workplace are sufficiently safe. You can do this

by measuring the electricity that is absorbed by your body. For this you need a

digital voltmeter or multimeter, which is able to read millivolts. This is

reasonably cheap to buy or a friend may lend you one.

 

Then you get some insulated electric wire that is long enough to reach from

most rooms to the ground outside and attach an alligator clip to each end.

Finally you need a ground stake or earth spike, a copper pipe is good, which you

drive into the ground in moist soil. One end of the wire is clipped to a clamp

at the top of the ground stake and the other to the black probe of the

voltmeter. It is not good enough to attach the earth wire to a water pipe or to

the

main electricity ground stake of the house as they may carry high voltages.

 

To close the circuit you just need to hold the metal end of the red probe

firmly in one hand. However, it is more convenient to hold a piece of copper

pipe, which is connected through a clipped or soldered insulated wire to the red

probe. Now you set the dial to 2 AC Volt. If it shows less than 200 mV that is

good and you can switch the meter to the 200 mV setting. Preferably the

reading should be below 100 mV in commonly used rooms but if you lie down on

your

bed it should read below 10 mV.

 

In reality the readings will be much higher and you may get between 2 and 50

V while lying on your bed. This is a constant drain on your vitality. By

moving the bed away from any electrical wiring you may perhaps get it to read

between 500 mV and 2 V. A relatively easy way of reducing the voltage a lot

further

is by using an earthed electric blanket.

 

The easiest way is to use an old or second-hand electric blanket and cut off

the plug. Then you can easily solder or clip an earth wire onto all three-wire

strands. If you want to keep using it for heating as well, then you may

attach a plug to the earth wire. Lying on a well-earthed electric blanket may

bring

the body voltage down to read one quarter to one tenth of the previous

measurement.

 

If the bed has a steel frame or innerspring mattress then these may also need

to be earthed. Commonly all springs are internally connected and need to be

earthed only at one point but some mattresses have individual springs which

would need to be earthed individually. However, steel frames and innerspring

mattresses still may deflect the compass needle when moved across the bed and

that

is not good either. The needle should continue pointing north everywhere over

the bed. Metal beams in the wall or ceiling may cause the same problem and

the bed should be moved far enough away from magnetic field disturbances.

 

In addition earth any metal parts, such as window frames, metal wall cladding

or roofing iron that show an unacceptably high reading when touched with one

hand while holding the earthed probe in the other. This is especially the case

if there are high-voltage power-lines, microwave towers or transformers

nearby or powerlines that form a right angle as at street corners.

 

Occasionally there may be so much ground electricity that it shows a higher

reading when lying on an earthed electric blanket than without an earth connect

ion. In this case move the earth stake as far away as possible from any power

sources that may cause this problem and find or create a good earthing behind

the house where you can reach moist soil with a long ground stake. With a

short ground stake try to keep the soil around it moist at all times. It is also

possible to get a good earth by connecting the wire to a moist part of a tree

or large outside plant.

 

To get a true reading on a concrete floor or when outside the house you

should be insulated by wearing shoes, otherwise the reading will be much too

low.

 

For sanitising an apartment of office in a large building where you cannot

get a good earth you may just try if an earth connection to the water pipe is

sufficient or get expert help. An upper floor of a building commonly has much

higher voltages than the ground floor, as there may be wiring in the floor as

well as in the ceiling. In this case you may be able to reduce the EMR

considerably by placing earthed wire netting under the carpet. If this is not

possible

with the entire floor, then perhaps just earth a smaller area where you are

usually sitting.

 

In other cases it may be advisable to shield and earth the wiring inside a

wall. This is much more difficult as wall panels need to be removed but it may

be relatively easy under the roof or if the wiring is under the house. You may

simply wrap electric cables with earthed wire netting or aluminium foil or

nail metal strips over them.

 

In addition to these earthing measures, you may disconnect the fuse or switch

in the meter-box for the bedroom (commonly including all power points in the

house) overnight. Alternatively have a separate fuse switch installed for the

bedroom only or a demand switch that only supplies power to the circuit when

needed. In addition, strategically placed copper coils may be used and are

highly recommended to de-stress the whole house. For such coils as well as

digital

voltmeters with hand probes, earth stakes and earth wires see Resources

Earthrays

 

Some dowsers claim to have discovered harmful earthrays from fault lines and

underground streams under the beds of most cancer victims. Earthrays may also

aggravate many other diseases. Try to find someone who is able to check the

location of your bed for harmful underground radiation, even if you sleep on an

upper floor. Commonly dowsing or muscle testing (kinesiology) are used.

Geopathic disturbances can also be detected with a scientific instrument, the

Geo

Test 35 Meter that indicates the degree of distortion of the local geomagnetic

field.

 

An easier but more subjective way to assess the safety of a sleeping location

is muscle testing http://users.mrbean.net.au/~wlast/muscletesting.html

Perform a muscle test while lying in the usual sleeping position on the bed. If

the

arm is weaker than with a test in another part of the bed or the room then

you may have to change your sleeping location. You may also try mental testing.

While your partner tests your muscle strength, imagine lying or sleeping in

the bed. Then imagine an underground stream and harmful radiation underneath the

bed. If the arm is stronger while imagining the usual sleeping arrangement,

then your bed is likely to be in a good spot, otherwise continue the test by

imagining sleeping in a different location.

 

If you cannot have your bed reliably checked, then move it to a different

location if you were sleeping there before any health problems developed. In

addition use a shielding device under the bed: place wire netting under the

whole

area of the bed and connect this to an electric earth. Against fault lines or

ley lines you may also cover the area under the bed with several centimetres

of quartz sand and use additional copper coils but moving the bed is the safest

option. You may also be able to check the bed yourself with a short wave

radio - over a fault line the reception deteriorates. Especially dangerous are

crossings of fault lines.

 

All these warnings apply to the common household alternating (AC) current.

Direct current (DC), on the other hand, is generally harmless, except with very

high voltages, while low voltages are sometimes even used in healing. To make

a car safe, electric charges at the engine, chassis, and interior need to be

returned to the negative pole of the battery.
