Hey all,

Recently figured out that a flurry of new symptoms are because I've developed a sensitivity to EMF (including WIFI).

Of those who have dealt with this, aside from getting better, what options have worked for you?

A doc of mine is saying PEMF is the key and suggested I buy a PEMF machine, but at $630 unless I know for certain it'll work I'm hesitant to try.

Thanks!

MM

Hey Mister Mike,

Long time no see. I have EMF sensitivities, but mine fluctuates. I've never tried any products or special treatment for it. I'm more sensitive to chemicals and mold.

I wouldn't put any stock in rife machines or in any doctor that claims they can help with anything. I have no personal experience with them, but I've read enough about them. People have landed in jail for selling them after making fraudulent claims about their effectiveness.

I haven't heard of PEMF therapies for this but there are some internet sites saying it helps - daily treatment ofcourse.
I had very bad Electromagnetic Sensitivities - so bad I couldn't live in my house. I am in the country I moved into a bungalow in the backyard. I had to stop driving the car and all in all it was a nightmare.
I got radical help going to a kinesiologist. The first one I went to did a little to shift it by balancing my energies but it went no further. Then I went to someone highly recommended with a waiting list. She wasn't treating EMS issues but she was good. After 2 sessions everything was different there was still some EMS but it was only around the computer and mobile phones. I have been detoxing a lot this year and I have hit the lyme hard and I am noticing there is hardly a trace of any EMS these days.
I hope you find something that helps but I would go the kinesiologist route first - go to a good one. Most of my EMS issues were around my head.
I sleep with my head on a grounding matt I bought. I saw no immediate change with it I just felt it would make sense overall to keep things as healthy as possible for me after reading about grounding.

Hey Mike -

Have you purchased a tester to see what the levels are in various rooms in your house?

I’ve considered getting one - in particular I want to test the bedroom because it’s a big chunk of time spent there.
My husband said he’d paint our walls with the EMf blocking paint if I wanted... but I ended up calming down about it and moved on to another dilemma....
I tend to do this - freak out... then move on to something else to freak out about.

(Not insinuating you are - just has been my pattern)
I have a dental cleaning appt coming up and I’m on the mercury amalgam dilemma now.

Next week it will be something else. Sigh

Girlie,

"I tend to do this - freak out... then move on to something else to freak out about. . . . I have a dental cleaning appt coming up and I’m on the mercury amalgam dilemma now.

Next week it will be something else. Sigh."

I had to laugh. You sound like me.

Come Tuesday I'll be back on the amalgam bandwagon, too. I saw the dentist 3 weeks ago to discuss my compatibility test results and he said someone would call me. No one has called me yet. I just want to get this done and over with.

Hey all - thanks for your thoughtful comments. Much appreciated as always.

Girlie - yeah we bought a tester and the kitchen and living room are through the roof. The bathroom and bedroom are better and the porch is the best. I've been spending a LOT of time on the porch lately. smile I highly recommend a tester if you think you have an issue with it. The problem is that we just moved into an apartment in a "wired" building where everyone buys a wifi package as part of the rent (and the lease doesn't end until March). We've gotten rid of ours but the apartments surrounding us have wifi which bleeds in. Work is also an issue and bless my co-workers hearts they just let me move my office to the safest part of the office and will be moving the wifi box to the farthest point away from me. Love those guys! I bought a grounding mat from earthing and it works great. So I'm spending lots of time on it too including sleeping on it. Feel free to email if you want more info as this has been quite the saga!

Kitchen - what’s in there - besides the microwave which you can control by not using it - right? Or is it the neighbours perhaps ?
What do you do about your wifi? Turn it off except for limited times when you want to use it?

We had a smart meter installed after fighting it for several years - we finally relented - around the time I got sick....it’s on the same wall as our bedroom.. sigh ... this rabbit hole is beckoning me again.

My husband said the smart meter is more than 30 feet away from our bedroom.

Interestingly - I remember when our son was a baby - over 20 years ago - I noticed one day that our electrical wires feeding our house connected on the roof above his nursery. Even back then - I was concerned - and decided to move my son into the other bedroom.
This was many years before Lyme.

Hubby isn’t convinced - he used to work in close proximity to huge motors that gave off massive EMF’s and thinks I’m worrying unnecessarily - but will still listen to my concerns .. lol.. “anything for you babe” he says.

We’ll see if he’s sincere when I shut the wifi off and limit his computer use.. lol

Found a site on EMF’s in the home - should be more concerned about them than the external ones

Basically putting distance between the device and yourself can reduce them significantly -

I think I’m going to buy a tester.

I found a site awhile back with good information on EMF’s including testers - can’t remember the address now - anyone know a good website -

I want to get a tester - a good one that’s reasonably priced.

I have several amalgams - I’m going to pretend I don’t tongue

I had my husband go up into the attic again and check for mold.
He appeased me and said nothing up there and it’s “dry as a bone”

Mister Mike,

Want to move to Green Bank, WV?

Enter The Quiet Zone: Where Cell Service, Wi-Fi Are Banned
/n.pr/2kaa8WT

I wouldn't mind buying a tiny house and moving it to Green Bank.

Obviously, that's not practical for most.

However, here is something that people have allegedly used to recover from Electromagnetic Sensitivities, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, Mold Illness, Food Sensitivities, Tinnitus, and a variety of other conditions. Here is a link to a few pages of success stories.

Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS)
/retrainingthebrain.com/success-stories

The least expensive option is $249.95 (USD) + Shipping & Handling for the DVD series.

Best of luck in your search for relief.

We got a Cornet Microsmog meter which test various types of EMF. about $170. Not cheap but has been helpful.

The kitchen and living room are part of an open floor plan. The hottest parts are where they are next to our neighbor's wall. I assume he has his wifi box right there. I haven't gotten the nerve up yet to introduce myself and then ask him to move it!

Proximity is definitely the key for me.

We turned off the wifi and have our laptop hard wired now.

Art Angel - thanks! I have a grounding mat and it is a life saver.

Dude - dang, if I could figure out how to make a living there I would go there in a heartbeat!
Posted 5/28/2018 2:02 PM (GMT 0)
Mister Mike,

I googled Cornet Microsmog meter, and I didn't find it.

I know zilch about frequencies, so how would I even understand what kind of meter I should get or how to even use it.

I will probably be moving soon. It would be good to have one of these when I go house shopping.

I wish they made a meter to detect mold, mycotoxins, mVOCs, and VOCs.

Why would PEMF be good for someone with EMF sensitivities?
Posted 5/28/2018 3:54 PM (GMT 0)
I’ve been googling and found a site that said you need 4 different testers for the different types of EMF’s

What’s that all about?

Yes
Big changes for me

Keep your phone on airplane mode when not in use or sleeping.

Don’t have anything plugged in near your bed; lights, alarm, phone etc.
Turn off your WiFi router when not in use.

Never mind all the other signals from cell phone towers, the neighbors Wi-Fi routers, smart meters, the electrical cables in your own walls, microwaves, smart TVs, computers, metal plumbing, power lines, etc.

What are the "big changes" you noted?

I’m trying to abide in less emf.

I have been using emf shielding technology for 20 years, I have a dear friend who also has Lyme and he is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to emf. He has all the different meters to test for radio, magnet, emf bands. He gifted me a walk around test of my home, emf glasses and a silver hat that I wear while driving. He wears silver clothes wherever he goes and sleeps in a silver faraday net of over his bed, has retro fitted his house, shielded most walls and takes it to the outer most level when it comes to emf.


We are bombarded. It’s about minimizing what you can. For me it’s my vehical, cell phone and wireless router. I have moved my bed and rearranged my furniture- ie my favorite places to sit in each room.

The electric cables in your own walls are minimized if nothing is plugged in. You can also flip the breaker to your bedroom, reccomended.

....
Big changes
For me I had the worst case of trigeminal neuralgia in my face and head. Left over from lyme enchephalitis, Bell’s palsey. Emf made it so much worse! Especially in my vehical! Now I drive mostly with my stereo face plate unplugged, disconnects the amp which was spitting a large amount of emf.

I am so much more sensitive to my cell phone now and have been dillagent in limiting my exposure, keeping it on airplane mode and away from me. If I don’t I can feel head and nerve pain, tingling, disorientation.

Be well

I do all the easy stuff - like shut off wifi at night, no phone in bedroom, and only one cordless phone in our kitchen - nothing in bedroom. I'm hoping to switch out our smart meter soon. If I was moving into a new house I would have that done if the electric company allows. Ours does, but it costs $300 and an extra $30 a month for the guy to come out and read monthly. So I'm kinda dragging my feet.

There's some kind of net you can buy to go over your bed. Can't remember what it is called right now.

Is it “silver faraday net of over his bed,“

Clearly, you're a Lebowski Urban Achiever. It's good to meet another member.

Wow, your friend is, obviously, very knowledgeable about EMFs. If you've been using shielding technology for 20+ years, then so are you. I became aware of it, around 15 years ago, from people like Dr. Mercola and Mike Adams. But, I've not done much about it. Either I'm lucky to not be affected - or, I'm affected and just don't realize how much. I know there's concern about the upcoming rollout of 5G cellular.

Speaking of silver clothing, this is the silver hat that I use: /bit.ly/2xWDBOp Since I'm unemployed, I couldn't afford one of the more expensive ones.

Kidding aside, do you have any thoughts about the DNRS system I mentioned above in my other post? Some people have claimed improvement/recovery of EMF sensitivity, among other conditions. I'm intrigued by the program.

Wishing you well, too, friend. Keep abiding.

The Dude

Ive looked into the DNRS system a few times... I'd like to talk to someone who has used it.

I also have no phone in bedroom (just cordless in family room downstairs) and cell phone is on airplane mode.

I'm still wondering about our smart meter. It is over 20 feet away from our bedroom...but a little closer to our family room where I spend most of my days.

Maybe I need to spend more time in the living room - on the other side of the house.

jeez....

I wonder if my husband would be so kind and shut off our breaker every night.


A couple years ago..when this was being discussed...someone posted that there's only so many 'off's and on's with the breaker...before its 'done'.

Anyone know if that's true?
