invisiblebloke	Electromagnetic sensitivity Aug 7 2008, 6:45 AM EDT \| Post edited: Aug 7 2008, 6:45 AM EDT A computer user is affected by the electromagnetic fields generated by electrical equipment - especially computers. Their question was whether there is a solution available to overcome or minimise the effects of this sensitivity. From what I have read, it is a very contentious area of ‘disability’ and either not fully understood, or at worst not even recognised in the UK. The bottom line is, that everyone appears to be affected in an individual way. Those who use computers will need to consider various methods of screening in an attempt to minimise those effects. It will be a case of trial and error, as there is no ‘off the shelf’ package available. There are so called ‘neutralisers’ on the market, which claim to minimise or stop these electromagnetic disturbances, but I am unable say if or how well they work. One of my more experienced and knowledgeable colleagues related a story of one individual we tried to help some time ago. We tried absolutely everything, including putting the computer behind a glass screen in one room while the user sat in another – and still without success.

RE: Electromagnetic sensitivity Sep 8 2008, 7:05 AM EDT \| Post edited: Sep 8 2008, 7:05 AM EDT I recently found the following advice (edited extract from:http://www.geopathic-stress.info/index_files/radsick.htm): 'For computers, put aluminum foil on desktop and connect it to aluminum foil under chair with a width of aluminum foil. If there are different pieces, they need to have a good connection between them. The aluminum foil can be under a plastic mat like ones used to protect the floor from desk chairs. This creates a path to the floor for the contact current to take that is lower resistance than your body. • Only use laptops on battery. Recharge them when you are not around. They generate a large amount of "dirty" power and the transformer on the charging cord generates a very large field. • Wear conductive socks or copper insoles (at least 2" wide by 16/1000" thick) connected with stranded wire (at least a single 10 gauge wire or 16 gauge lamp cord with both wires connected in parallel). Electricity travels through the more conductive pathway this provides, instead of through your body from one foot to the other. continued on next post . . . Post reply Do you find this valuable?
invisiblebloke	2. RE: Electromagnetic sensitivity Sep 8 2008, 7:06 AM EDT \| Post edited: Sep 8 2008, 7:06 AM EDT continued from previous post . . . • Walls do not stop electromagnetic fields. Be aware of this when arranging furniture. Sources of electromagnetic fields (EMF) to be aware of as you place your furniture include transformers for electronic gadgets (the box at the end of the cord), televisions, computers, electric clocks (don't put them right next to the head of your bed), fluorescent lights, and your electrical service panel and electrical meter, as well as wires feeding them. You will also want to be aware of where major wire bundles run in the walls of your house and keep the time you spend near them to a minimum. Be aware that televisions and computer screens with cathode ray tubes (CRT) frequently have electromagnetic fields around the sides and back that are as high, or higher, than those in the front. (I find I have trouble getting meaningful work done on a computer with a CRT monitor because of the ionizing and non-ionizing radiation it emits. I have switched to a flat screen (LCD) and find I have no trouble unless the power quality is really bad.) ' Post reply Do you find this valuable?
BioElectricShield	3. RE: Electromagnetic sensitivity May 13 2009, 8:41 AM EDT Putting up protection just on your computer, cell phone, or worrying about individual wiring is only looking at a small part of the problem - there are EMFs coming at you from cell towers, wi-fi networks, everyone else's cell phone, power lines....and the list goes on. All the reading and research I’ve been doing shows long term cell phone use as a huge health risk. I’m not giving up my phone, but I am protecting myself with a cell phone chip on phone and headset AND most importantly I’m wearing my BioElectric Shield www.bioelectricshield.com – The Shield strengthens your energy AND deflects the EMF frequencies so you’re not being affected. The Shield is all natural and we back it up with a money back guarantee. Feel secure, safe and protected. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
