AVOIDING OR REDUCING ELECTROMAGNETIC STRESS

Avoiding electromagnetic stress is becoming more and more difficult today. It is especially challenging in cities, where cell phone towers are everywhere, adding multitudes of microwave radiation to the environment. Here are some easy suggestions:

1. If possible, live in a rural area, preferably in a house, rather than an apartment, preferably away from cell phone towers and high tension power lines.

2. Cell and portable phones. Minimize cell phone and portable phone usage. Use the old-fashioned corded phones, as these give off much less radiation. If you must use portable or cell phones, use a good headset, preferably the type that uses air instead of wires to connect the headset to the phone. Also, turn off the phone when not needed. Also, men should not wear them on their belt if possible, when they are on.

3. Computers. Sit far away from your computer, avoid larger computer monitors. If you use a laptop computer, buy an external keyboard and mouse and use these as often as possible so you can sit further away from the machine. Enlarge the print, if needed, so you can see it.

Another option is to use a large screen TV as your monitor, but only if you can sit at least 10-20 feet away from it. The backlit type emits the least harmful electromagnetic fields, as far as I know.

An idea that will help with computer usage is to ground yourself. Attach a piece of lamp cord to the middle screw on an electrical outlet. Attach the other end to your skin, such as tucking it inside your sock so the bare wire touches your skin.

If you use computers, drive a car a lot or travel on planes, go out into the sun for a few minutes whenever possible. This will reduce the damage of electromagnetic stress.

If you use a computer a lot, install above your head or behind you an infrared light bulb. It must be reddish in color, 250 watts. These are sold at most hardware, Home Depot, Lowe’s and other outlets where electrical objects are sold. You will need a socket designed for a 250-watt bulb. Do not shine it directly on your head, however, but at an angle away.

4. Avoid air travel as much as possible. Airplanes have many radar, radio, microwave and engine-related electromagnetic fields that will affect everyone. Also, the x-ray machines at the airports and baggage handling stations are not good, either. Also, air travel exposes you to many germs from other passengers, especially on long flights.

5. Televisions. Always sit back as far away as possible from televisions, especially the large ones. Turn off all electrical appliances in the home, especially near where you sleep, when you go to bed. Do not watch television to go to bed, for example, or have an automatic shut off so the TV goes off after a while.

Some people even turn off the electrical power in their bedroom area when they go to sleep to minimize electromagnetic emissions at night.

6. Fluorescent lights. If you sit under fluorescent lights all day, set up a full spectrum bulb shining on you, if possible, so balance the light rays. Full spectrum fluorescent tubes are also available and are better, if you can install them in your work area.

7. Red infrared heat lamps. If possible, have some reddish infrared heat lamps positioned around your home. They will purify certain frequencies of energy in the home.

8. Auto EMF emissions. Even some cars give off large electromagnetic fields. The only way to check is with an EMF meter. This would only be a problem if you drive long distances.

9. Try a Q-Link pendant to reduce some electromagnetic stress. It is not perfect, but it may help.
