EMF and Lyme disease?

I have seem multiple posts about things like EMF and electromagnetic radiation on the forum and how it relates to Lyme disease and I think I even saw someone post about a study done that showed exposure to EMF and radiation and such makes it way harder to heal from Lyme disease. I think EMF and radiation and stuff like that can't be great and it definitely doesn't hurt to reduce exposure and if it were up to me we would not have a smart meter on the house and would not have wifi on. However, my engineer dad 100% does not believe EMF and electromagnetic radiation causes any sort of problems. He thinks it is totally fake and a myth that it causes harm.

So I am wondering if anyone can help me prove things like EMF and electromagnetic radiation is bad and hinders Lyme healing. Can anyone show me any real studies that have been done on the topic?

Or does it really not make a difference and EMF and electromagnetic radiation really are completely harmless even to sickly people like me with Lyme disease?

Thank you :)

I know of a young lady here who is so sensitive to it that she has to carry a meter with her to test places before she goes in. It makes things very hard for her. Not exactly the info. you're after, but it does show how hard it can impact some Lymies.

Too bad you can't live there! :) Welcome!

There are proven studies that livestock doesn't like it. Proven.

Gia sells some sort of EMF absorbing pennant.

They're just regular bulbs - the rounder soft whites ect. They are slowly phazing out some incandescent bulbs. But you can still get many sizes at most stores.

Obviously if you have fixtures that only take florescent tubes, that's what you have to use.

They were phased out quite a while ago here and I haven't seen any more, except for some night lights. I'd rather use them and wish I had bought up a bunch of them. I just wondered where she found some.

Rowingmon, Where did you find incandescent light bulbs?

We are Canadian, and although they are phasing them out here too, I can still find the 40W, 60W and 25W. I am stocking up.

Some of the LED bulbs (the non-dimmable ones) are OK as well according to Dave Stetzer:

"Many LED light bulbs are not electrically polluting, are highly energy efficient, and won't break and contaminate your house with mercury. According to Dave Stetzer, President of Stetzer Electric, none of the non-dimmeable LED light bulbs he has tested thus far have radiated high frequencies or put high frequencies back on the wiring. Dimmeable LED light bulbs are highly electrically polluting. This makes non-dimmeable LED lights the best choice thus far for energy efficient lighting. (Dimmer switches are themselves extremely electrically polluting and thus must be removed so using non-dimmeable LED light bulbs is no hardship.)

There are two other potential problems to consider when purchasing an LED light bulb. One, be sure the light bulbs you purchase do not carry a warning like the following: "This product may cause interference with radios, televisions, telephones or remote controllers." Two, don't purchase an LED light fixture that has a transformer. The transformer is likely to have a large electromagnetic field polluted with high frequencies.

An interesting article (http://www.dolevltd.co.il/UserFiles/File/True%20Cost%20of%20Low%20Energy%20Lighting.pdf) discussed the much lower energy use and good power quality profile of LED lights. Not only are LEDs better for your health, but also better for your wallet. CFL lights claim a 75% energy savings over incandescent lights, but are mostly highly electrically polluting and also transmit radiofrequencies off the bulb, which can be heard as static on the AM dial of a portable radio. LED lights have about a 97% energy savings over incandescent lights without the power quality issues that can cause electric bills to increase - if electrically non-polluting bulbs are selected, see above."

Smart meters are really bad. Lyme as well as other bacteria have been shown to proliferate in the presence of electro smog. Seltzer filters help some people but can actually cause problems for others, as the filters themselves add their own dirty electricity and different frequencies can cause problems for different people. Dr. Klinghart has a really good video that goes into these issues, well worth watching.
