Good for you! Not even a DVD player?I haven’t had a TV in over 20 years! Never need one, never miss one, never bored. Tons to learn and study...
+1 No, not even a DVD...if ever we want to watch a movie, we use Prime and watch on laptop. Rarely actually so no strain. Easy, fun and free.Good for you! Not even a DVD player?
They're so antagonizing and aggravating and manipulative. And all the costs are crazy. The monthly rates go up and the "quality" of the programming goes down and down.
BTW, what kinds of symptoms are you dealing with that you think might be associated with your devices and whatever EMFs?Yes, lots of questions, not enough answers, many ideas for solutions...
Are EF's a function of TV size as you suggest? Maybe maybe not. We know that MF's are not a function of size, so perhaps EF's are also not a function of size. I can test this once I get my meter.
Does the TV emit EF even when turned off? I was reading that all appliances emit some EF even when off.
I would focus on the changes you can make in the meantime before you become a homeowner. It's worth it to own, start saving if you can. For now, just focus on reducing what is within your control (your own unit). You don't have to get a big fancy house. I actually kind of want to downsize, I got too big of a house. Depending on where you live, it's fairly easy to get a house for less than 100k. Just be careful if you go too far below 100k, houses that are in the 50k price range often have potentially hidden problems that may cost you a lot to repair. I see no reason why you couldn't get a 50k house though, if you don't care that it's small and not that pretty. I think it'd be worth it to get away from large EMF's that are so commonplace with renting. You can always get a large 40+ year loan if necessary to fund it. Interest rates in the states at least are quite good these days, so its a good time to buy a house.
To be honest, as I become more "Peaty", my desire to play video games becomes less. I still like to watch anime, but I'm doing other activities like read more than I ever have before. I do use a computer a lot to post here though, and I like this community too much to give that up.
edit - just saw you only have 100$ saved. May be hard for you to move, not sure what to say, other than to try to keep saving I suppose.
The only real pain with a house is the initial up front cost if you don't have a lot of capital. Closing costs and whatnot can slam you with anywhere between 3-10,000$+ in costs depending how expensive the house is.
Maybe then the better / more realistic short term option for you is to find an affordable apartment to move to that has less EMF's (bring your meter(s) with you when you are hunting)
In terms of wiring in the house, if you're short on funds, the best and simplest thing to do is simply to turn off the circuit breaker in at least your bedroom (and even the whole apartment). This not only will eliminate all of your EMF sources (MF, EF, RF, Dirty electricity), though of course you still have to contend with your neighbors' EMF sources.
In my experience apartments should have circuit breakers you can mess with. In houses they're usually in the garage, in apartments from my experience they're often hidden in the laundry room or something.
Wow, you're sensitive. I'm glad you've identified the issues. Did you check out CreateHealthyHomes links to safe use of TVs, computers and RF equipment? He's got a lot there.The thing that really convinced me was turning off my router, and noticed I slept better (insomnia, frequent waking up). Other than that I noticed frequent brain fog, irritability, fatigue while working on my PC prior to that and just thought it was just because of my hypo problems, but I would find I would need to eat stupid amounts of food to keep my temp and pulses from tanking. Wi-Fi is truly strong anti-thyroid.
That and I do feel a tingling in my head when I would have a long phone call against my ear, and I had massive irritability/brain fog/fatigue whenever I drove my car (still do but less now that I put some aluminum foil in some key locations). The fatigue would be so strong that I would have to have a coffee before I left work if I planned to run errands in the evening, due to the extremely potent anti-thyroid effects of my car (even more than the router IMO). I feel tingling in my legs/feet (MF nearly 200 mG at brake pedals). Because of how anti-thyroid my car is, I try to avoid driving whenever possible and barely go out anymore these days. Although, I plan to try to mitigate some of this soon, between pulling the fuse for OnStar / Radio, and putting more aluminum foil, I can probably bring things down to more manageable levels.
The router signal at the car shop the other day was so strong I actually passed out for a few minutes from the extreme fatigue.
Well it sounds like you're pretty up on mitigating but why do you even keep the microwave?I really like my Tri-field scanner, it was a worthy purchase. I did some measurements yes I discussed it some in my thread on EMF's. I was shocked at RF emissions in my house in particular, even with my own wi-fi off I was getting strong signals from my neighbors. Like, upwards of 1000x of recommended limits or even more in some cases. What also shocked me was my microwave emitted 100x+ the recommended limit... 30 ft away from it, at the other end of my house. I told my mom this and she still has her head in the sand (though I did sell on on EMF's from cell phones and routers) about this. She said "it has a built in faraday cage in it so I'm not worried". No not really. Yes it has some reduction but a huge amount still gets through. The only safe place I found from my microwave is the basement lol. I now run to that whenever I have to use my microwave... lol. That was disheartening to me. The one good bit of good news though is I was able to find a "hobbit" like cubby in my basement to hide from EMF's and get my RF readings down to like 0.005 mW/m^2 so at least my sleeping area is safe, also MF down to 0.1-0.2 mG and EF down to 0 V/m, & Dirty electricity to 0 (because I turn off circuit breaker) although it doesn't measure in the fractions of V/m so in reality maybe like 0.1-0.2 V/m still good though. Neither my TV nor my monitors at work seem to emit EF at all except almost point blank actually, Cables can definitely get you though and also the wires in the wall/dirty electricity. I am still having problems though because I found out my CPAP device emits close to 500 V/m at point blank to my face because the hose has heater elements in it. I ordered myself a hose without that so that should help. I also plan to start bag breathing regularly to get my CO2 levels up in the hopes I can cure my sleep apnea and ditch the CPAP altogether at that point. Maybe smart TV's emit more EF than regular ones? I don't have a smart TV. I agree, having a poor metabolism / sleeping poorly will impact sensitivity. I have been EMF sensitive my whole life but it isn't until now that I've identified it as such, and I have also been unhealthy most of my life so it makes sense. RP says a healthy metabolism can handle stressors/toxins of all types better, so getting healthy is the ultimate cure to EMF sensitivity although I still plan to always keep an EMF free house, no point to poison yourself at home since you get poisoned all day long without your consent in public and work.
Cause I'm planning my move, I've started looking at location through EMF glass. I may be wrong, but I decided that the first step is to live at a safe (or at least near safe) distance away from cell towers and other big antennas. I searched the net for a good map with cell towers and antennas locations and found this one and it is the most informative http://www.antennasearch.com/
Type in your address -> Go -> Process -> View stats
-> View Tower Results (and/or download records)
-> View Antenna Results (and/or download records)
And get ready to be unpleasantly surprised... Also they provide info about Future Towers: Newly filed (or pending) applications to construct new towers. Application info includes location coordinates and detailed ownership data.
I am almost certain I can tell if my cellphone is sending data non stop. It triggers headache within minutes. Will do a blind study with my gf soon.
Can't stop laughing when I hear "smart" people tell me it can't be harmful because it's non ionizing radiation.
I haven’t had a TV in over 20 years! Never need one, never miss one, never bored. Tons to learn and study...
So you have EMF sensitivity ?
"The symptoms described by "electromagnetic hypersensitivity" sufferers can be severe and are sometimes disabling. However, it has proved difficult to show under blind conditions that exposure to EMF can trigger these symptoms. This suggests that "electromagnetic hypersensitivity" is unrelated to the presence of EMF, although more research into this phenomenon is required." Electromagnetic hypersensitivity: a systematic review of provocation studies. - PubMed - NCBI
Wow. Nice. Thanks for the formula.I just set up a spreadsheet with all the data from that website to calculate the great circle distances between the LAT/LONG of all the towers and my house. I lucked out really. The closest towers are about 1500 ft which is about 500 meters, which is about the acceptable distance according to Nicolas Pineault. 500 meters is the recommended minimum limit, with 300 meters being absolute minimum (plenty of evidence shows problems with distances less than 300m) so if you're within 1000 feet of any tower may be time to move.
1 mile distance is fine, it's only the short distances you need to care about.
Here is the formula I used in excel if anyone cares to do it (gives you distance in FT)
=ACOS(COS(C2*PI()/180)*COS(E2*PI()/180)*COS((F2-D2)*PI()/180)+SIN(C2*PI()/180)*SIN(E2*PI()/180))*3959*5280
where C2 = Lat 1, D2 = Long 1, E2 = Lat 2, F2 = Long 2 (all in degrees)
Lat 1/ Long 1 are coords for tower
Lat 2/Long 2 are coords for your house (obtainable through google maps)
Where did you get does EMF limit value? I am not doubting them, the limit set by the EU in most countries in Europe is 1oo micro Tesla (yes Tesla) ...That would be insanely high.Holy crap dude, if your apartment is really 1000 milligauss you need to move NOW. If you're having health problems (and I suspect you are, with that kind of exposure) you're not going to get better without changing your environment... How do you feel man?? That would probably be enough stress on the body to cause severe depression, fatigue etc...
You are at a high enough level to easily cause cancer development
I'm scared now to find out how high the EMF is in my own house lol I really hope it's not high because I own a house and it's not easy to move when you own a house :/
At least you can move easily. Just make sure you bring your EMF meter on you while you go hunting for a place so you can be sure it is safe
