I'm curious about this also. I have had constant problems since moving in 2006. I work from home and have an office I cannot use anymore because I feel so terrible when I attempt to. I do not use wireless internet or cordless phones at all, but I have checked and at any given time 10-11 of my neighbors' wireless signals are bleeding into the room. The "best" it gets in my house is 3-4 wireless signals bleeding in. I cannot afford to move, or make costly renovations to my home.
I use a tiny magnetic chip which I install inside of my own watch. It seems to make me feel calmer and less anxious.

I also use a grounded anti-static mat under my pillow to drain away any EMFs impinging on me while I sleep. It is a good idea to keep yourself grounded as much as you can. For example you can use a grounding mat or wrist strap whenever you are exposed to a nearby EM source such as computer or relaxing in your home.

This site sells devices called RayGuard that are supposed to protect one from harmful radiation. I have decided to try out the cheapest one, RayGuard body&car, and am waiting to receive it.
Has anyone here heard about or tried RayGuard before ?
They have some videos to explain how the RayGuard works and there is also a video that shows how to "de-switch" the brain. Which is supposed to balance the brain hemispheres which they say goes out of balance because of the EMF radiation. Reminds me a bit of EFT, which when done correctly does seem to help almost every issue conceivable.
Not to single RayGuard out -- but this, like many other products, have not tested consistently that there is no biological reaction to EMF at the cellular level when this device is used. In other words, though some individuals may show an initial improvement when using this device, when the individual continues in a polluted environment the body adapts and the symptomatic responses to the device are no longer obvious.
There are a plethora of products out there that claim to cancel or block EMFs. In reality, none of them can block EMF. Electromagnetic Fields are a complex subject that encompass a wide variety of sources and there is no one product or even combination of products that can block it. There are even some products that claim they can convert all "bad" energy to good energy, these are not effective either. At best, some of these products can lessen the impact for a short period of time until the body adjusts to the new contamination and then quite often the symptoms recur. Not everyone responds the same way, therefore -- for some it is immediate improvement that lasts for a while, whereas for others there is littled observed impact. In some cases, the body becomes dependent upon the "device" and no longer uses its own healing energy.
The only procedures that are 100% effective for all individuals and do not have recurring symptoms are to remove the sources or to shield from the sources. These are physical shields that actually block the EMF from reaching the body while sleeping.
The tiny magnetic chip -- the Tesla chip -- has been known to provide some relief; however, it is an external dependency. You might consider methods of tapping into your own body's healing energy for balance to do the same thing without introducing the magnetic field to soothe the intercellular gap junction communication.
As for being grounded at night while sleeping -- excellent idea -- however, be aware that if you use this device with the electricity on in the wires around your bed, then you are increasing drastically your electric field exposure. The electric fields coming from the wiring in the walls, extension cords, and outlets is looking for the closest ground, which is you. There is a measurable increase in current through the body when you are grounded. As Building Biologists, we would suggest that you locate the circuit breaker or fuse that controls the electricity within 6ft of your bed and turn it off at night as well. This in addition to the grounding mat -- will provide you the best exposure to natural EMF and the least exposure to manmade EMF.
I am also extremely sensitive to EMF, and I've tried every product from Q-Link to BioPro. Although I've purchased many products that I haven't been happy with, I have finally found one that has helped me. I've been using this product for almost a year and can't say enough good things about it. I am now able to be in front of a computer a lot longer without being fatigued. All my symptoms are gone. The product's name is Healing Colors DVD, and I bought it from Gaiam.com. I also noticed that Amazon has it. Everyone that I had recommended this product to has thanked me for the recommendation. I hope it helps your friend as well.
I have a few differnt devices that I have found beneficial... I purchased a scalar resonater and a personal pendant from earthcalm.ca that not only helped me health wise... as in, getting rid of plagueing aches and pains.. but also stopped my children fighting!! lol... My biggest issue with EMF's are fluorescent lighting... I pass out anytime I'm within 5 metres of them and end up sick for a few days... HOWEVER... since wearing the pendant I still feel ill when exposed.. but I do not pass out and do not have the lasting effects for longer than an hour or two at most. I still avoid them where possible, but if I have to quickly dash into the bank or post office I can... I feel they have given my life back... I also have a crystal catalyst bead from www.electromagneticprotection.com and truly believe that this bead enhanced my other pendant.. on the one occasion I was exposed without wearing the pendants I was very ill... I know they work... I don't even care what the testing says... they have given me back my life :)
I'm happy to hear that you have found something that helps alleviate your symptoms. That is terrific. I still, however, would recommend that you look into creating a sleeping sanctuary so that this with the addition of perhaps some supplements would enable your body to heal and recover. You will still need to wear the protection that works for you when not sleeping, but when your body is most vulnerable you should eliminate as much of the electrosmog as possible. Our concern is that people will use the "devices" instead of treating the problem -- and in your bedroom the problem is treatable.
In theory it sounds good, but here is the problem. The biological response of the body is to EMF that are both spatially (same shape and size) coherent and temporally (same frequency) coherent. This is necessary for the vibratory receptors on the cell membrane to go into resonance and start the whole cascading effect from the membrane sensitivity syndrome (cell membrane becomes impermeable).
In nature, there exists EMF from a variety of sources, one being the Schumann Resonance; however, in nature none of the fields are both spatially and temporally coherent, they are either one or the other. Without both, the cell membrane receptors will not behave like tuning forks and will not go into resonance, they will simply not respond to the natural sources. However, even if these fields are "huge" as they are by nature without the amplification by devices, the presence of these manmade coherent signals will have a biological impact. These signals will actually travel on the natural earth's energies -- and the body will demodulate the signals, and there will still be the impact at the cellular level.
However, having said that -- one of the other issues in the EMF spectrum to which there are biological responses that is not manmade is the presence of anomalies in the earth's natural magnetic fields due to the presence of metal in a built environment, ore caverns, subterranean rivers, etc. For those sleeping in these anomalies, there can be adverse health effects. For that problem, the devices you mention have merit. In addition, there is some research that supports the concept that our earth's natural magnetic field strength is decreasing -- due to natural pole reversal or perhaps man's interference -- and in those cases the devices you mention would have merit.
Thus, in summary -- these devices will not block or shield from the manmade signals from the power company, communications industry, etc.; however, they have been shown to have beneficial results to overcome natural magnetic anomalies and reduction in the earth's magnetic field. In Building Biology we are concerned equally about OVER exposure to manmade electro pollutants and UNDER exposure to the natural magnetics. These devices can help with the latter, but not the former.
I use a product called Hydra Booster. It's a specially processed water that you add to your drinking water in
small amounts. It makes you more hydrated. This makes it possible for me to use the internet without getting a headache.
I've been seeing a naturopath/clinical nutritionist for quite a few years. She totally believes that one should do their best to limit their exposure to EMF, but that's not always possible. She uses applied kinesiology to test EMF shielding devices and has found that that BioPro Universal chips, the iH20, and the Biopro pendant work the best. I've been using the iH20 for the past couple of months and I've noticed a GREAT improvement in my health. Check out www.mybiopro.com/doctorde
What are these physical shields Vicki and from where can you purchase them?
