My husband and I are thinking about moving to a house that has master-on-the main floor, as I'm just not liking the stairs any longer. We found a house that's an excellent location on 1/3 acre, and I've Always wanted to get back to my country roots...

But there it is in 'the country', on top of a smallish mountain in beautiful Oregon, but about 500' behind the property is the main path of power lines going right through the mountain!!!

Can Anyone tell me anything they may know about the possible health dangers living just 500' away from those?

Thanks for ANY thoughts

If you are talking about the huge monster looking things with high voltage running through them, I can tell you that they hummmmmm all the time. When there is a storm they will crackle. Hubby and I rode our bikes along the path that the workers created to maintain the lines but they scared me and I felt funny near them. Hard to explain but my adrenaline went into action and I felt the need to get the heck out of there.

I think you need to research how far those lines put out EMFs (electromagnetic fields). I do not know that information.

I'm not sure of the exact information on them either. There are those that say they have no effect at all and those that say it's what made them sick though. I know that some Lyme patients find they are particularly sensitive to EMFs, so if you can, find somewhere you can stay for a bit that's close to a large one and see if you are one of those that are sensitive to them.

I know when I was at my worst, I was sensitive to EMFs, but now, not so much. I do have to be careful, but I don't have to avoid them completely. Kind of like other people's perfumes and colognes - they over power me quickly now, but before they used to make me highly nauseous and I'd have to move or leave in order to not be sick to my stomach and to stop the bad dizziness that would accompany it.

I wouldn't move anywhere near one of those. Seems I remember hearing it was known that cows near those have a reduction in milk. There is a lot of info on the web about it.

We're so sorry that we live as close to a phone tower as we do.

sweetpeaisme if I were you, I would not move to that house. It is wide known that EMFs are potentially dangerous for the health, let alone for the person with Lyme.

Good luck

Thanks everyone for your replies...the owners of the house we were considering will only expect a cash offer; they wont accept contingent on the sale of my existing house in which all our cash is invested...so I guess We wont be moving near those power lines!

sweetpeaisme, I wouldn't even consider it.

I had a friend whose son had childhood luekemia and they were looking for a new house. The realtor told her to eliminate anything near those power lines. The incidence of cancer is always higher within a certain distance of those towers.

It makes a lot of sense that people would have issues if you think about the fact that some people use rife machines.

Our bodies run on electricity at certain frequencies. Those towers put off huge electromagnetic fields and at a frequency that isn't good for us.

I lived by some high power lines and blame them and extreme stress for my accelerated symptoms..you can ground ,net and wear emf protection but silver paint is pricey...dr k said emf cause 6x more proliferation of bacteria and fungus than that in a faraday bag..
