			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago I received this message on my website:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Hi There</em></p>
<p><em>I hope you are well?!</em></p>
<p><em>My name is James Russell and I am a film maker in the UK. I have spent the last 2 years making a documentary which examines how our world has changed dramatically due to man made wireless frequencies. A full synopsis is at the bottom of the email if you would care to read it. The film is receiving an incredible reaction as it reveals for the first time the mechanism by which mobile phones cause cancer.</em></p>
<p><em>The film is due for release in the summer of this year but a trailer is available on our YOU TUBE channel at</em></p>
<p><object width="560" height="315" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FqJhjVuEPeQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="560" height="315" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FqJhjVuEPeQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<p><em> our facebook page has lots more information too</em></p>
<p><em> http://www.facebook.com/resonancebeingsoffrequency</em></p>
<p><em> I was hoping you might be interested to feature this on your web site? I believe there is a serious message in this film that desperately needs to be shared.</em></p>
<p><em> Kindest regards</em></p>
<p><em> James Russell&#8221;</em></p>
<p>This is obviously a cause I fully support and having seen the trailer I am more than happy to give publicity to this video through my website.</p>
<p>I wish you well James in this venture and look forward to hearing more about this in the coming weeks.</p>
<p>Below is the synopsis of the video:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;RESONANCE is a sensational eye opening documentary which reveals the harm we are doing by existing in an ocean of man made wireless frequencies.</em></p>
<p><em>The film examines 60 years of scientific research, to uncover for the very first time, the actual mechanisms by which mobile phone technology can cause cancer.</em></p>
<p><em>And, how every single one of us is reacting to the biggest change in environment this planet has ever seen.</em></p>
<p><em>Two billion years ago life first arrived on this planet; a planet, which was filled with a natural frequency. As life slowly evolved, it did so surrounded by this frequency. and Inevitably, it began tuning in.</em></p>
<p><em>By the time mankind arrived on earth an incredible relationship had been struck; a relationship that science is just beginning to comprehend.</em></p>
<p><em>Research is showing that being exposed to this frequency is absolutely integral to us. It controls our mental and physical health, it synchronizes our circadian rhythms, and it aids our immune system and improves our sense of wellbeing.</em></p>
<p><em>Not only are we surrounded by natural frequencies, our bodies are filled with them too. Our cells communicate using electro magnetic frequencies. Our brain emits a constant stream of frequencies and our DNA delivers instructions, using frequency waves. Without them we couldn&#8217;t exist for more than a second.</em></p>
<p><em>This delicate balance has taken billions of years to perfect. But over the last 25 years the harmony has been disturbed. and disturbed dramatically.</em></p>
<p><em>Mankind has submerged itself in an ocean of artificial frequencies. They are all around us, filling the air and drowning out the earth&#8217;s natural resonance.</em></p>
<p><em>To the naked eye the planet appears to be the same. But at a cellular level it is the biggest change that life on earth has endured; the affects of which we are just starting to see and feel.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t <a href="http://electricsense.com/category/emfs-in-your-life/stories/" target="_blank">electrosensitivity</a> essentially a &#8220;problem&#8221; of resonance with certain man-made frequencies?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an ideal world you would have one EMF meter that could &#8220;do everything&#8221;. It would be pocket sized, not too expensive and easy to use.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, whether its EMF meters or anything else as soon as you start to look at the nitty gritty, you realize that the ideal world doesn&#8217;t exist.</p>
<p>I have justed tested the Cornet ED75 EMF meter. It doesn&#8217;t do &#8220;everything&#8221; but for the money, it does quite a lot&#8230;.</p>
<p>This video gives a brief overview of its features:</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MVIawEJazhc" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe></p>
<h1>What Are The Technical Specifications of The Cornet ED75 EMF Meter?</h1>
<p>The technical specifications of the Cornet ED75 are the following:</p>
<p>Dual operation mode: RF power meter mode and LF Gauss meter mode.</p>
<p>Frequency range: 100MHz to 6GHz (RF meter) (useful up to 8GHz),</p>
<p>50Hz to 10KHz (Gauss meter).</p>
<p>Super Wide dynamic range 60dB (RF meter).</p>
<p>High sensitivity –55dBm to 0 dBm (25mV/m to 14.8V/m) (RF meter), 1mG &#8211; 500mG (Gauss meter).</p>
<p>Peak power density measurement 1.5uW/m2 to 0.58W/m2.</p>
<p>LCD Histogram and bar display to display power density level.</p>
<p>Analog RF(AM,FM) and Digital burst RF(GSM,TDMA,CDMA,DECT, ZigBee, Bluetooth, UWB, WiFi, WiMAX 2.4GHz, 3.6GHz, 5.8GHz).</p>
<p>Max and Hold function, mW/m2, V/m, dBm, mG, uT.</p>
<p>Built-in Sensing Antenna.</p>
<p>Small, compact handheld design, 69mmX110mm.</p>
<p>Battery operated (9V DC)</p>
<p>Mmm this sounds all well and good, but what does all this mean in plain english?</p>
<h1>Cornet ED 75 &#8211; Dual Operation RF and Gauss Meter Mode</h1>
<p>The Cornet ED75 can measure RF radiation and magnetic field radiation.</p>
<p>Having a meter that is capable of measuring EMFs at different frequencies is no new invention. The <a href="http://electricsense.com/1336/is-the-trifield-100xe-the-best-emf-meter/" target="_blank">Trifield 100XE</a>, for instance, which has been around for a good for few years, can measure AC magnetic fields,  AC electric fields and radio frequency (RF) radiation. True, but the Trifield has its limitations in so far as RF radiation measurement goes. If you want to check your microwave for leaks or you are wondering what levels of RF radiation your cordless phone is throwing out the Trifield can do this kind of testing admirably. But if you are wanting to check the RF levels from a nearby cell phone tower or your neighbors WiFi the Trifield is soon&#8230;challenged.</p>
<h1>Is The Cornet ED75 A Better Meter Than The Trifield 100XE?</h1>
<p>If your main concern is RF radiation from things like:</p>
<p>- cell phones and PDAs<a href="http://www.radmeters.com/Cornet-ED75-fr.html"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3710" title="cornet ed 75" src="http://electricsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/cornet-ed-751.jpg" alt="" width="154" height="297" /></a></p>
<p>- smart meters</p>
<p>- cell phone towers (base stations)</p>
<p>- WiFi routers and modems</p>
<p>- Cordless (DECT) phones</p>
<p>- Wimax</p>
<p>- Spy cameras</p>
<p>- Digital baby monitors</p>
<p>- Digital TV</p>
<p>- A/V Sender Receivers</p>
<p>- Wireless burglar alarms</p>
<p>- Wireless video games (Playsation 3 and the like)</p>
<p>then yes the Cornet ED 75 is a better choice than the Trifield 100XE.</p>
<p>Its true you can measure radiation from lots of different sources (magnetic, electric and RF) with the Trifield but for measuring RF radiation the Cornet ED75 is a lot more accurate.</p>
<h1>What About Magnetic Field Radiation?</h1>
<p>The Cornet ED75 will measure low frequency (LF) magnetic field radiation. As the spec says it can measure magnetic fields between 1mG and 500mG. Sounds great doesn&#8217;t it? Well it is pretty good but for measuring magnetic field radiation but its not nearly as accurate as the Trifield.</p>
<p>The Trifield even with its two magnetic field settings measures radiation over a narrower range than the Cornet, only 0.2-100 mG as opposed to 1mG &#8211; 500mG with the Cornet . But don&#8217;t be deceived by this. Being able to take readings between 100 and 500 mG sounds good on paper but in terms of personal EMF protection it is likely to serve little purpose. 100mG is already a very high exposure level, generally long term exposures of 2 to 3 mG would be sufficient cause for concern, let alone 100 or 500mG. Being able to measure levels as low as 0.2mG, as the Trifield can, is much more useful.</p>
<h1>Advantages of the Cornet ED75</h1>
<p>-being able to measure LF magnetic fields and RF radiation with the same meter</p>
<p>- its pocket size and lack of external antenna make it extremely portable</p>
<p>- in RF mode you can get readings in mW/m2 but also in V/m</p>
<p>- its range in RF mode, it can measure up to 6GHz (even to 8GHz with less precision according to the manufacturer)</p>
<p>- its sensitivity in RF mode, smart meter radiation can pose a problem with certain meters with slow refresh rates, this is really not a problem for the ED75</p>
<h1> Disadvantages of the Cornet ED75</h1>
<p>- it takes a while to get the hang of using it, the screen presents a lot of information which can take time to comprehend</p>
<p>- its limitations in LF magnetic field mode</p>
<p>- that it can&#8217;t measure LF electrical field radiation (like the Trifield can)</p>
<p>- it does not have an audio output jack, you can&#8217;t &#8220;hear&#8221; the radiation</p>
<p>- it is a single axis meter</p>
<p>As far as it being a single axis meter, in the measurement of magnetic fields this means you have to orient it in different directions to get a true magnetic field reading in a given location. There is no denying, the Trifield is much easier to operate in this respect.</p>
<p>But for measuring RF radiation a single axis meter is not necessarily a disadvantage. By turning the meter in different directions it can allow you to locate the source of the radiation.</p>
<h1>On Balance is the Cornet ED75 A Good meter?</h1>
<p>For the price, yes it is. 2 reasons:</p>
<p>- its sensitivity and accuracy in in RF mode. Its almost as accurate as the <a href="http://electricsense.com/2054/the-cornet-ed85ex-emf-meter-my-review/" target="_blank">Cornet ED85EX</a>, +-3dB (the ED85EX is +-1.5dB)</p>
<p>- it can measure RF radiation in volts per meter. Obtaining readings in M/w² is fine for certain uses but if you are interested in getting accurate and meaningful readings of low level non-thermic RF radiation (which is the reason most people buy an RF meter) V/m wins hands down.</p>
<p>Here is a more detailed video on the meter:</p>
<p><object width="560" height="315" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yoygg5o3L7U?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="560" height="315" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yoygg5o3L7U?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<h1>Why Would I Not Buy The Cornet ED75 EMF Meter?</h1>
<p>If you already bought the Trifield 100XE and the Cornet ED85EX (or the Acoustimeter) then sit tight this meter can offer you nothing that you haven&#8217;t already got. But if this is your first foray into EMF measurement and you are looking for one meter that can &#8220;do everything&#8221;, this is about as good as gets at the moment.</p>
<h1>Where Can I Buy The Cornet ED75?</h1>
<p>You can buy it from this <a href="http://www.radmeters.com/Cornet-ED75-fr.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">company</a>. Their customer service is very good (90 day money back guarantee – they really do refund if you are not satisfied) and free worldwide shipping. If you have any questions on the Cornet ED 75 EMF meter put your question in the comment box below, I would be happy to answer them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Question: how can the World Health Organization (WHO) say on one hand cell phones are possibly carcinogenic and on the other completely ignore cell tower radiation?</p>
<p><em>Especially</em> when we know its the <a href="http://electricsense.com/2951/bioinitiative-report-on-electromagnetic-field-emf-dangers/" target="_blank">cumulative effects</a> that are particularly dangerous&#8230;.remember, unlike cell phones, cell towers emit radiation 24/7.</p>
<p>Professor Girish Kumar of India has been pondering this and other questions relating to cell tower radiation.</p>
<p>Following his <a href="http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-01-07/gurgaon/30601647_1_mobile-towers-towers-in-residential-areas-mobile-operators" target="_blank">campaign</a>, the local government of Gurgaon (a large financial and industrial centre in India), shut down <em>298 cell towers</em> in a residential areas last January.</p>
<p>Want to know how he did it?<a href="http://electricsense.com/3592/how-much-longer-are-the-effects-of-cell-tower-radiation-going-to-be-ignored/cell-tower-radiation-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-3604"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3604" title="cell tower radiation" src="http://electricsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/cell-tower-radiation1-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>He bribed a few officials?</p>
<p>He had friends in high places?</p>
<p>No, none of that.</p>
<p>He just argued a very good case.</p>
<p>Actually he produced an excellent report (several reports in fact) on the dangers of cell tower radiation.</p>
<p>The main one is a reply to a <a href="http://www.scribd.com/Neha@Scribd/d/88233924-REPLY-TO-Comments-on-Prof-Girish-Kumar%E2%80%99s-presentation-on-Cell-Tower-Radiation-at-ASSOCHAM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">72 page </a> long report and well worth the read.</p>
<h1>Report on the Dangers of Cell Tower Radiation</h1>
<p>Just in case you haven&#8217;t got time to read it all, here are the the bits I liked:</p>
<p>- if you are living in the main beam of cell phone towers you are exposed to comparatively high radiation levels, you need particular help</p>
<p>- common health complaints of people living in this main beam are headaches, sleep disturbance, memory related disorders, fatigue, buzzing in the head, joint pain, miscarriage, cancer, etc</p>
<p>- the Telecom Industry likes to play down the <a href="http://electricsense.com/1993/so-cell-phones-are-possibly-carcinogenic-really/" target="_blank">WHO class 2B carcinogen</a> classification, which also has pickles, coffee, etc. in the list. Radiation from cell phone towers is 24&#215;7, people living in the near vicinity absorb this radiation continuously</p>
<p>- the industry experts claim that “Non-thermal biological effects have not been shown to be a health hazard” is wearing very thin. <strong>Non-thermal effects are actually several times more harmful than thermal effects.</strong> Pro Kumar has produced a separate <a href="http://www.scribd.com/Neha@Scribd/d/44736879-Cell-Tower-Radiation-Report-sent-to-DOT-Department-of-Telecommunications" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">50 page report</a> with nearly 200 technical and scientific references to prove this</p>
<p>- average human life expectancy is approximately 70 years. <strong>We should be making EMF exposure guidelines to live safely for at least 70 years</strong></p>
<p>- <strong>the sensation of “hot ear” that many people feel when using a cell phone can cause ear tumors</strong>; the temperature of the ear lobes increase by 1C when a cell phone is used for 20 minutes or more, this warm sensation/pain can lead to <a href="http://electricsense.com/1084/cell-phones-if-you-don%E2%80%99t-get-cancer-you-could-get-tinnitus/" target="_blank">tinnitus</a> and irreversible hearing loss. This can in turn lead to an ear tumor.</p>
<p>- doctors from at least <a href="http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report_jj-hospital-studies-how-cell-phone-affects-hearing_1501947" target="_blank">3 different hospitals</a> (in India) have reported that overuse of cell phones can cause a loss in hearing and also ear tumors especially in teenagers</p>
<p>- if you look in the small print <strong>in the user manuals of cell phones the manufacturers are actually giving (discreet) warnings about radiation exposures</strong>. Notably for the BlackBerry smartphone the user manual recommends keeping the phone at least 0.98 in. (25 mm) from your body when it’s in use.</p>
<p>- the risk for brain tumors from cell phone use is much higher in young adults when compared to older adults, the Interphone study included only adults between the ages of 30 to 59 years.</p>
<p>- <strong>nobody is saying ban cell towers</strong>, we know that without antennas the network would not exist and people could not talk to each. <strong>What we are saying is “why transmit so much power?”</strong>. In India, Telecom operators transmit 20W of power per carrier and they use a number of carriers. Also, antennas of multiple operators are placed on the same roof top or tower to cut down the cost, so cumulative transmitted power is very high. The operators should not transmit more than 1 to 2W of power in the densely populated area.</p>
<h2>Cell Tower Radiation &#8211; Just One Form of Exposure</h2>
<p>I think this is really important information, otherwise I wouldn&#8217;t be sharing it with you.  Its important particularly if you are in the beam (as described above). But don&#8217;t get hung up about cell tower radiation. Instead, concentrate on what you can do, deal with the <a href="http://electricsense.com/2593/emfs-in-your-home-%E2%80%93-my-protection-tips/" target="_blank">other sources of EMF radiation</a> FIRST, before you start waging war on cell tower radiation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wifi radiation is becoming increasingly widespread as more and more people become seduced by the freedom of wireless devices. If you have any doubts as to whether WiFi is safe, <a href="http://electricsense.com/198/is-wifi-safe/" target="_blank">click here</a>. There are some simple steps you can take to limit your exposure to WiFi radiation, in this article I am going to explain what they are.</p>
<h1>WiFi Radiation Protection Tips</h1>
<h3>1. Your Wireless Modem Router</h3>
<p>A wired alternative with Ethernet cables to connect to your computers can always be used in place of a wirele<a href="http://electricsense.com/3544/wifi-radiation-how-to-protect-yourself/netgear-n150-wireless-router-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-3567"><img class="wp-image-3567 alignright" title="netgear N150 wireless router radiation" src="http://electricsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/netgear-N150-wireless-router1-300x241.jpg" alt="" width="295" height="237" /></a>ss router. A good choice is the Netgear N150 which is actually a wireless router which you can easily switch the WiFi function off and it stays off. I have this router in my home and we can run up to 4 computers on it on wired connections.</p>
<h3>2. Learn To Switch Off</h3>
<p>Look for software options to disable the Wi-Fi wireless module on devices like laptops, iPod Touches, iPADs, tablets, printers, projectors and anything else that might have Wi-Fi Capability. Lower Wi-Fi power intensity is now an option on certain wireless set-ups, look carefully what the software allows you to do.</p>
<p>If you are unable to disable Wifi via the software you may be able to have the WiFi module physically removed (requires some electrical knowledge).</p>
<h3>3. Swap Wireless For Wired</h3>
<p>Replace your wireless keyboard and mouse with a USB wired keyboard and USB wired mouse.</p>
<h3>4. Neighbors WiFi</h3>
<p>Legally there is nothing you can do to oblige your neighbors to remove their WiFi so you need to have a softly softly approach. Go and see them have a friendly chat. Ideally take an <a href="http://electricsense.com/category/emf-meters/" target="_blank">RF meter</a> with you, show them the radiation levels they are exposing both you and themselves to. Take some print outs of some of the studies that have been done on the dangers of radio frequency radiation.</p>
<p>If they are unsympathetic EMF shielding remains your only solution. Best to start with a single room using shielding paint and always measuring your RF levels before and afterwards to ensure the effectiveness of what you are doing.</p>
<h1>Reduce Your Exposure To WiFi Radiation Without Eliminating It</h1>
<p>I know that some people can’t quite bring themselves to surrender their wireless devices so here are some tips on minimizing WiFi without eliminating WiFi.</p>
<h3>1. Keep your distance</h3>
<p>WiFi radiation drops off significantly with distance (called the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law" target="_blank">inverse square law</a>). Many routers have a strong enough signal to maintain a connection up to 100m from the router. Make sure you put as much distance between you and your wireless router as you can without diminishing the efficiency of your connection. Remember: walls don’t stop wireless radiation, never situate a wireless router behind a bedroom wall.</p>
<h3>2. Switch off at Night</h3>
<p>Studies tell us that the biggest danger with WiFi radiation comes from nighttime exposures; cellular regeneration,<a href="http://electricsense.com/3544/wifi-radiation-how-to-protect-yourself/electric-timer-for-modem/" rel="attachment wp-att-3575"><img class=" wp-image-3575 alignright" title="electric timer for modem" src="http://electricsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/electric-timer-for-modem-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="298" height="211" /></a> rejuvenation, and detoxification is impeded and notably <a href="http://electricsense.com/988/where-is-the-place-you-absolutely-must-start-if-you-want-to-protect-yourself-from-electromagnetic-radiation/" target="_blank">melatonin production</a> can be significantly reduced. If you really can’t bring yourself to remove your wireless router you can install a simple electrical timer (see attached image) on the socket where you plug your router in. Then just set it to turn the power off during sleep time.</p>
<h3>3. Use USB Adaptors Wisely</h3>
<p>If you use a USB Wi-Fi adapter (for PCs that don’t have a built in wireless network interface card) use it on a USB extension cable (10 feet or more). The same goes if you use a 3G USB dongle to connect to the Internet while you are traveling, an extension cable will significantly reduce your exposure.</p>
<p>Use the above tips to eliminate or reduce your exposure to WiFi radiation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We recently bought a new American style refrigerator for our kitchen at home. Because I am electrosensitive I make a point of testing with my RF (radio frequency) meter everything electrical I bring into my home. Here is the video of what I found.</p>
<p><object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yqomG3xmAcQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yqomG3xmAcQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
You can see that <a href="http://electricsense.com/3259/comparing-rf-radiation-from-different-sources/" target="_blank">RF (microwave) radiation</a> is being emitted from the refrigerator because I only get a reading when the fridge is plugged in. My old fridge did not give off any such radiation, as you can also see in the video. Why is that? This is because this fridge is a smart appliance.</p>
<h2>RF Power Transmitters On Electrical Appliances</h2>
<p>Smart appliances are electrical appliances which have been fitted with a power transmitter. The power transmitter connects to the wireless smart meter installed in your home via a WiFi like network signal. This then connects to the ‘smart’ grid via the ‘home area network.’ (HAN).</p>
<h3>How Does The Smart Meter Network Work?</h3>
<p>I checked out one of the <a href="http://www.trilliantinc.com/library-files/case-studies/CaseStudy_HydroOne.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">companies</a> involved in the smart meter program and found this brilliant diagram which explains things nicely.<a href="http://electricsense.com/3033/rf-radiation-from-power-transmitters-in-smart-appliances/rf-radiation-from-power-transmitters-on-electrical-appliances/" rel="attachment wp-att-3036"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3036" title="RF Radiation From Power Transmitters On Electrical appliances" src="http://electricsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/RF-Radiation-From-Power-Transmitters-On-Electrical-appliances-291x300.jpg" alt="" width="291" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Where it says “in-home conservation and demand management services” what this actually means is that we are being bathed in more electrosmog (electromagnetic fields) from all the electrical appliances in our homes which are fitted with these wireless power transmitters.</p>
<h3>Is Smart Appliance Radiation Dangerous?</h3>
<p>Richard Tell an electrical engineer formerly with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in a 2008 report on Smart Grids for Hydro One Networks, Inc./Toronto (<a href="http://www.ccst.us/publications/2011/2011smartA.pdf" target="_blank">referred to here</a>) established that antennas on smart appliances may transmit at a density of .18watts, each at about 4.5 seconds per hour.</p>
<h3>Cumulative Effects Of RF Power Transmitters On Smart Appliances</h3>
<p>This may sound low but it’s the cumulative effects of the EMFs from these RF power transmitters that are the problem. Imagine 3 or 4 or 5 smart appliances (or more possibly) giving out RF radiation in your home in addition to exposures from your neighbors’ smart appliances.</p>
<h3>Cumulative Effects of Smart Meters and Smart Appliances</h3>
<p>Smart appliances work independently of  smart meters. This means that you get zapped with the radiation from smart appliances whether you have a smart meter or not.</p>
<p>But if your home is fitted with a smart meter, your exposure is higher in 2 ways:</p>
<p>1. Smart meters are continuously sending HAN information both to the in-house display (if you have one) and to the smart appliances using WiFi, Z-Wave, Zigbee or other wireless communication protocols.</p>
<p>2. There is a separate, higher powered signal being sent to and from the utility company. This signal may be sent every few seconds or every few minutes depending on your provider.</p>
<h3>How To Protect Yourself From RF Radiation From Smart Appliances</h3>
<p>I found the solution to my problem by sending the fridge back. When I now buy any appliances, fridge, oven, washing machine, dishwasher etc. I make a point of going in the shop first and asking them if I can test with my <a href="http://electricsense.com/2915/acoustimeter-am-10-rf-meter-%E2%80%93-my-review/" target="_blank">RF meter</a> before I buy. I have found a local electrical retailer sympathetic to my concerns. When I go to see him, he switches everything off in the shop, WiFi router, cordless phones etc. for a few moments so I can do my testing. This can raise a few eyebrows from passersby, but what the heck! RF radiation from smart appliances have no place in my home!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I became electrosensitive I quickly realized that conventional medicine had its limitations.<br />
After a couple of years of popping pills and getting nowhere I started to explore other avenues.<br />
Holistic medicine was the obvious answer.<br />
Looking at the person as whole to achieve not just relief but actual healing is a no-brainer.<br />
Dr Dietrich Klinghardt MD, PhD, has developed his own particular “style” of doing this. He combines non-surgical orthopedic medicine with lots of other disciplines; immunology, endocrinology, toxicology, neural therapy, hypnotherapy and energy psychology.<br />
His strong suit is dealing with chronic pain and illness and he has done quite a lot of work with electrosensitives.</p>
<h2>Treating Electrosensitivity and Other Diseases</h2>
<p>Dr Klinghardt realized that people that were being diagnosed with other “better known&#8221; diseases were in fact electrosensitive. For instance, doctors were diagnosing patients with ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) when the trigger was electromagnetic fields. In patients with diabetes he experimented applying EMF shielding and he observed that they needed less medication or that their <a href="http://electricsense.com/1545/could-emfs-cause-diabetes/" target="_blank">blood sugar levels were stable</a>.<br />
He developed a successful protocol for treating <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.klinghardtacademy.com/images/stories/Lyme_Disease/klinghardt_biological_treatment_of_lyme_disease_protocol.pdf" target="_blank">Lyme disease,</a> which again involved shielding EMFs from the patients environment.<br />
He conducted a study on the EMF levels in the bedrooms of pregnant women whose children were<a href="http://electricsense.com/1646/is-exposure-to-electromagnetic-fields-the-real-cause-of-autism/" target="_blank"> autistic</a>, comparing them with EMF levels of mothers who had healthy children. The radiation levels were significantly higher in the group of mothers whose children were autistic.  He developed a treatment protocol for dealing with autism which involved reducing electrosmog.</p>
<p>By way of introduction to the philosophical model that Dr Klinghardt uses to understand illness here is a short video presentation (with transcript) and below that are his recommendations for treating electrosensitivity.</p>
<p><object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_wvvTx8FoBg?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_wvvTx8FoBg?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<h3>7 Factors That Cause Chronic Health Problems</h3>
<p><em>&#8220;The 7 factors are those issues that are causing chronic health problems.</em></p>
<p><em>1.The foundational one, I’ll just read you through, the first foundation one is toxicity and chronic infections.</em></p>
<p><em>2. biochemical abnormalities, is usually referred to as genetic issues.</em></p>
<p><em>3. is structural problems, the type of stuff that chiropractors and osteopaths deal with.</em></p>
<p><em>4. It&#8217;s what we call in Europe interference fields. That any structure in the body can become electrically active like an additional pace maker in the heart. When some heart cells become dysfunctional, they&#8217;re often scars and autonomic ganglia in the body than can arise to behave, electrically speaking, abnormally and cause trouble in the body. This is less known in the US and in Britain and more known in the Spanish speaking countries, France and in Germany.</em></p>
<p><em>5.The fifth very serious issue and growing issue is <strong>electromagnetic radiation</strong> from cell phone broadcasts, from household current, from radio broadcasting, television broadcasting, from wireless internet, and other household items.</em></p>
<p><em>6.The sixth is food allergies can cause significant health problems.</em></p>
<p><em>7. Last but not least is the realm of psycho-emotional, spiritual, and social problems.</em></p>
<p><em>So I will take you now through the five levels of healing and will remind you of where these 7 factors can be seen.</em></p>
<h3>5 Koshas System of Healing<em><br />
</em></h3>
<p><em>This model of healing arises from the old Yogi tradition. Patanjali, the father of modern Yoga, several thousand years ago wrote about a system of healing that he called the 5 Koshas. The 5 Koshas can be translated in to the 5 bodies or the 5 envelopes that we have. First body is the physical body. The second body is the energy body; I’ll get into that in a moment. The third level is the mental body. The fourth level is the intuitive body or the dream body as the shamans call it, and the fifth level is the spirit. Now let me take you through these levels in a way that maybe helpful in understanding what you can actually do with this system.</em></p>
<h3>Autonomic Response Testing</h3>
<p><em>I want to talk about ART and I want to start in the beginning to introduce you to some of the tools that we&#8217;re using: the tools of the trade. ART stands for Autonomic Response Testing. We’re simply looking for ways of showing if a person goes into a stressed state or into a healing state. In more physiological terms we want to see, for example, if somebody eats wheat if it activates the sympathetic nervous system and creates a stress reaction or does it create a nice relaxed power sympathetic dominant healing state. When the person was hungry, you fill the stomach: the person is happy, everything is relaxed. Many tools are available in medicine and in psychology to determine if somebody is in a healing state or in stressed state. Usually these tools are referred to as bio feedback tools and I have experimented with all of them, many of them. They&#8217;re also used in a form of lie detectors, which are also useful and can be used for this work.</em></p>
<p><em>However, we found that by using feedback from the muscles of the patient we get more accurate readings that are not distorted by inserting an instrument between us and the patients. Many patients today react to anything electronic that you put on their body, and what you will then measure is their reaction to the instrument rather than the reaction to what you&#8217;re trying to test in the patient. Of course these principles have been examined in the field of kinesiology and the field of Chinese pulse testing.</em></p>
<p><em>There are many tools that use various indicators in the body to determine the state of the autonomic nervous system. What we found out as a very simple principle is this, for example, if the patient is deficient in vitamin C and I introduce vitamin C in the patient, it will create a healing state rather than a stress state. If a patient is toxic with mercury and I will introduce tiny amounts of more mercury in the system, the patient will respond with a stress state. That is pretty self evident. What takes a little stretch of the imagination is that how does a patient know that I’m introducing mercury when I just put it in his hands or close to him?</em></p>
<h3>Energetic Immune System</h3>
<p><em>I answer that with one of my deepest learning experiences I had with this. This was a patient who was allergic to local anesthetics, just to keep it short, and went into deep anaphylactic reactions every time a dentist used a local anesthetic. I tried to test her on local anesthetic just using muscle testing. Anytime my assistant came within 6 feet or 8 feet of this patient with the little tray that she brought into my room with local anesthetics on it, the patient would have an anaphylactic reaction. We ended up double and triple blinding this experiment, where neither I knew whether the nurse was with the local anesthetic nor the patient. We could, within half an inch, determine how far away from the patient the local anesthetic had to be and the patient would react.</em></p>
<p><em>Now, I’m assuming that it was not just a gifted patient; one patient in 6 billion who had the ability to sense things in the field outside away from the body. I do know it’s a property of all higher evolved animals. It&#8217;s very well studied in sharks. They can detect their victim through their automatic nervous system up to 16 feet away. They form an inner image of how the person looks like even in the murkiest waters, and many other animals have been shown to have this sense. I call it an energetic immune system that responds to the presence of a particular substance away from the body, and that is the reflex that they&#8217;re using and that is the only thing that will take a stretch of imagination. Is it easy to prove? Absolutely, we can give somebody who&#8217;s had got wheat allergy wheat to eat and record his heart rate variability, that&#8217;s a quantitative assessment of the autonomic nervous system, and demonstrate a stress reaction.&#8221;</em></p>
<h3>Dr Klinghardt&#8217;s Recommendations for Treating Electrosensitivity (ES)</h3>
<p>1. measure the levels of electromagnetic radiation in your home using an <a href="http://electricsense.com/category/emf-meters/" target="_blank">EMF meter</a>, and try to reduce exposure</p>
<p>2. measure your body voltage. Monitor any buildup of electricity in your system and discharge the static electricity</p>
<p>3. use <a href="http://electricsense.com/1299/cell-phone-tower-protection-tips-what-to-do-if-a-cell-phone-tower-is-erected-next-to-your-home/" target="_blank">EMF shielding</a> to reduce exposure using paints and nets</p>
<p>4. create a <a href="http://electricsense.com/988/where-is-the-place-you-absolutely-must-start-if-you-want-to-protect-yourself-from-electromagnetic-radiation/" target="_blank">low EMF environment in the bedroom</a>, where this is not possible for all the bedroom then an EMF canopy should be used</p>
<p>5. detoxing after shielding, this can take up to six weeks, he recommends Chlorella for this</p>
<p>6. use protective clothing made from silver weed cloth where necessary while recovering</p>
<p>7. use of <a href="http://electricsense.com/1825/dirty-electricity-gs-filter/" target="_blank">Graham Stetzer (GS) filters</a> to clean up dirty electricity from wiring and electrical sockets</p>
<p>(Source: Electrosensitivity UK Newsletter June 2011)</p>
<h3>EMF Exposure and Disease<em><br />
</em></h3>
<p>Dr Klinghardt&#8217;s approach brings together Western medicine and knowledge from ancient civilizations. (You can find out more about his methods <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.klinghardtacademy.com/" target="_blank">here</a>). He is one of the few practitioners that have been able to do this AND his approach recognizes the importance of EMFs in healing. Whether you are electrosensitive or are just interested in protecting yourself from EMFs there is much to learn from studying his work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As soon as you start to look into the question of cell phone radiation and EMFs generally, whether it be as just as a an observer or because you start to develop electrosensitivity symptoms, as I did, you quickly realize how little the current &#8220;safety&#8221; guidelines do to protect us.</p>
<p>Well it seems there are some countries where this is even worse. In South Africa, for instance, there seems to be a total lack of legislation and controls on this issue.</p>
<p>Alwyn Lewies has paid a high price for this lack of regulation, here is his story.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>My name is Alwyn Lewies and I am 38 years old. I am giving a short background of my life with an illness called Electromagnetic Sensitivity (ES) which I have been struggling with for the past 12 years since exposure from a cell mast.</em></p>
<p><em>It started in 2000 with a cell phone tower that was erected at my workplace in Wapadrand, Pretoria. We were approached by a cell phone company who was interested in putting up a tower on my premises and we were assured that the tower would have no effect on us at all.</em></p>
<p><em>Unfortunately this wasn’t the truth but the exact opposite than what we were told. Within a brief period since the erection of the first tower, another one appeared only 80 meters away. Four months after these installations, my first symptoms started to appear.</em></p>
<p><em>While being at work, I experienced a ‘burning’ sensation in my head. The pain far exceeded that of a normal headache. After going to my doctor, I was prescribed anti-depressants because the doctor said I was experiencing work stress. We thought the stress was the cause for my headaches.</em></p>
<p><em>In the beginning my headaches were painful, but bearable. But after some time, the pain became excruciating. I then started to go from one doctor to the next, underwent several tests and brain scans, but all reflected as normal. I started monitoring my pain and realized that I only experienced pain after making a phone call on my mobile phone, and when being close to a cell phone tower.</em></p>
<p><em>Research confirmed my assumptions that it was in fact the radiation from these devices that caused my headaches. A short time after, all other electronic devices such as TV’s, electric motors etc. started to affect me. To an extend, I was able to avoid some of these devices, but the cell phone towers were popping up all over the city and was a constant obstacle.</em></p>
<p><em>The radiation started to affect me so badly that I wasn’t able to function in any way. I started to experience a new symptom which was the constant ringing in my ears.</em></p>
<p><em>As time passed, matters got worse, and I met Dr. Cloete in 2004. For the first time, I was diagnosed with EMS and it was a relief to finally put a name to my illness.</em></p>
<p><em>Studies showed that much research has been done, but a cure has yet to be discovered. The best I could do was to boost my immune system as much as possible.</em></p>
<p><em>EMS entails that the person is allergic to radiation and electronic devices these allergies affect me the same way that someone suffers from constant hay fever and can’t stand those allergies. Due to the density of the radiation levels, my pain became unbearable to handle. My body simply couldn’t cope with those levels of radiation.</em></p>
<p><em>I have met a few people who are also being affected by the radiation.</em></p>
<p><em>In 2004 I was forced to seek employment elsewhere at a construction company as my body couldn’t handle the strain of the towers in such close proximity. After two years had passed, I resigned once more after all got worse and I was barely functioning and couldn’t keep track of my thoughts.</em></p>
<p><em>Due to a lack of income, we had to sell our house and our family moved in with my parents. The only room where I felt the least pain was on the dining room floor. The electricity had to be switched off at the main switch in order for me to sleep. During the day, I was confined to this small space, because this was the only place in the house with the lowest radiation.</em></p>
<p><em>With no improvement after some time had passed, an opportunity came along for me to stay on a sheep farm in the Karoo. My family moved to Cape Town to stay with her parents for the birth of our son. My health improved but the distance between us became a problem. I had to get closer, but I couldn’t move back into the radiation.</em></p>
<p><em>I went back to be with them in Cape Town, but I had to sleep in my car every night. I drove to different places to try out where I felt best, but it was very unsafe. This continued for two weeks. After the birth of my son, I was forced to find a place to stay as a family. In June 2007 we found a small cottage in Gordon’s Bay where the radiation was minimal. I was only able to sleep on the kitchen floor where the radiation was lowest. The situation wasn’t ideal, but we were together, and this lifted our spirits.</em></p>
<p><em>We managed to stay there for almost a year, but in the beginning of 2009 I felt a new signal in the area which was very strong. The sleeplessness and pain started again and I couldn’t be in the house any longer.</em></p>
<p><em>Once more the nightmare started, and I didn’t know what to do, or where to go. The anxiety and uncertainty I experienced was frightening.</em></p>
<p><em>The following thoughts were flashing through my mind. I had to leave my wife and two small kids once more and they were too young to understand why I was abandoning them once more. The idea of me having to sleep in my car again was unthinkable and I didn’t know which pain was worse – the burning sensation in my head, or the heartache.</em></p>
<p><em>The turmoil continued for two weeks as I slept in my car next to the side of the road where there was no reception. Sleeping in discomfort and fear, the only times I went home was to eat and clean. It was then when I learned about a lady outside a West Coast town called Clanwilliam, who had also been effected from antennae on her office in Cape Town and now also as a result suffered from the same illness and had to leave her family.</em></p>
<p><em>I packed the car and left for Clanwilliam, but was unable to afford the accommodation. After taking a trail into the bush, I stayed next to the river without food for several days. I later ended up in a small town in the Cederberg called Wupperthal. It is very secluded from modern society and has no cell phone reception. I managed to rent a small cottage from the Moravian Church who owns the town. There I found relief from my constant pain.</em></p>
<p><em>Meanwhile, my family tried their best to visit, but I ended up seeing them only two weekends a month. The distance of 400 km and a very bad gravel road made it a time consuming trip with two young children.</em></p>
<p><em>During this period, I did extensive travelling up and down the West Coast and Cederberg and closer to Somerset West in search for a save place to stay, only to come up empty handed. At that stage I spent every second weekend in my car.</em></p>
<p><em>In 2009 I had to leave Wupperthal because I wasn’t allowed to rent accommodation for a long period of time seeing that I wasn’t a member of the Moravian church. My only option was to move back to Pretoria. One day I met an engineer who specializes in radiation blockage. He assured me that it was possible to isolate a room from radiation although it would be costly.</em></p>
<p><em>During 2010 I did extensive travelling between Pretoria and Cape Town in order to build a safe room, but due to a lack of finances and proper materials it was unsuccessful. I had to remain in Pretoria. In the beginning of 2011 it became clear that my wife was under enormous pressure and I realized that I urgently had to try and get back to them. She struggled to manage with us being apart, the kids and a demanding work.</em></p>
<p><em>This forced me to go back and support my family to the best of my ability, while facing the daily agony, no matter how bad. After three months, my body started falling apart from the constant radiation and living in my car. The spot where I spent most of my time was 30 km away from my home.</em></p>
<p><em>During this period, I have been inspected by the police, harassed and threatened by people under the influence. On one occasion I was nearly killed when a drunken person crashed his vehicle a few meters from mine. Throughout 2011 I stayed with my family for a period of only 3 months while I spent over 90 nights in my car, thereafter I spent the rest of the year in isolation. It is only by the grace of God that I have managed to stay alive and well through these past years.</em></p>
<p><em>I suffered several attacks, similar to epileptic attacks whenever I was exposed to the elements for too long. My wife and I decided that it really was impossible for me to be with them because the next step could be fatal. In the beginning of June 2011 I kissed my family goodbye and left for Pretoria. It felt unreal but I had to push forward for survival.</em></p>
<p><em>On arrival at my parents’ house I was shocked beyond my wildest belief. Their house was no longer safe for me to stay at. I started feeling the agonizing sypmtoms where I had previously coped before. A tower had been erected within very close proximity and although I wasn’t sure what type of tower it was, the signal was too strong for me to handle. I thought I had finally run out of options.</em></p>
<p><em>I didn’t know where to go or where I was going to sleep. I drove out to a farm 230 km outside Pretoria, close to Polokwane, where I created a man-made tent in the middle of the bush. I have been here since then and haven’t seen my family. In the last 6 months while being thousands of kilometers away.</em></p>
<p><em>At this moment I am lonely and cut off from the outside world, friends and family. The only reason I remain here is to sleep and survive. There’s no tower in close proximity of the farm. During the past month my tent, mattress and belongings have been flooded during summer rainstorms.</em></p>
<p><em>During the past few years, I have missed several events in my families’ life which can’t be bought. My daughters’ first tooth pulled her first bicycle ride, her first school concert, and my son’s first pictures he drew and the first time he slept without his diaper. I miss the love and support of my wife.</em></p>
<p><em>Many other people are starting to show similar symptoms, but it’s being swept under the carpet because the radiation is a multi million rand industry.</em></p>
<p><em>In countries such as Sweden, Canada, France, Switzerland and Japan there are certain laws in place to protect citizens from these health hazards. The South African authorities should start looking into this matter because it is becoming a growing concern.</em></p>
<p><em>Should the cell phone industry be willing to look into adjusting the cell phone transmissions close to my home in Somerset West, I may have a chance at living a reasonably normal life with my family. I haven’t lived in my home, nor have I slept next to my wife on the same bed in the last 6 years. During the past 6 years I have moved more than 10 times. At his stage I have spent more than 300 nights in my car.</em></p>
<p><em>Most of these places are barely livable conditions to stay in. I am tired of being on the run and my body is exhausted I have led a nomadic life and been deprived of my rights being a husband, father and friend. Meanwhile my children are growing up without their father and I’m not leading a fulfilling life. I have a need to be part of my family’s lives, but instead we’re being pulled apart. This is the worse punishment that anyone can endure.</em></p>
<p><em>I will continue to fight until the end. I owe it to myself and my family to seek a way to find a normal life. This letter is my last attempt to try and convince the authorities that ES is very real and a life threatening disease. I just want my life back and it really just depends on the cell phone towers closest to my home. I put my trust in God, that He will put the right people on my path that could assist me in ending this terrible nightmare.</em></p>
<p><em>At some point in time, the cell phone industry would have to acknowledge that we are facing a major catastrophe which can’t be reversed. I am pleading with them to see the life through my eyes, put them in my position and see things from my perspective. I am pleading for these cell phone towers to be adjusted and that will give me my life back.</em></p>
<p><em>I can assure you that it would be the miracle that our family had been praying for the past 11 years. Not just one, but four people’s future could be changed for the better. I implore you to make some small changes that would have enormous positive repercussions in many people’s lives.</em></p>
<p><em>I thank you for this opportunity to put my story in writing and sharing it with you. I put all my trust in our system and believe that it won’t be in vain.</em></p>
<p><em>Regards</em></p>
<p><em>Alwyn Lewies&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Thank you Alwyn for sharing your story.<em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>RF radiation (radiofrequency radiation) is not the easiest of subjects to get your head round at the best of times. But when you are suffering from the debilitating consequences of EMF exposure (electrosensitivity) and you are looking for answers, fast, then it can be frustrating. Today I wanted to share with you my reply to one of my readers who is trying to get to grips with EMF exposure. Here is his question:</p>
<p><em>Dear Lloyd, thanks for addressing  my </em><a href="http://electricsense.com/3217/radio-frequency-radiation-worst-offenders/" target="_blank">[last]</a><em> question. Just watched the video <a href="http://electricsense.com/1256/smart-meters-electromagnetic-radiation-money-and-your-health/" target="_blank">The Dark Side of Smart Meters</a> very scary stuff.</em></p>
<p><em>Lloyd, they say that “pain is a great motivator”. And well I feel like crap all the time. I feel fatigued, depressed, headaches.</em></p>
<p><em>So I search and search for and answer. I try to eliminate all toxins, I quit smoking, taking prescription meds. I been try to eat health foods. Still nothing works.</em></p>
<p><em>So I can only guess is it the mercury dental fillings I’ve had in my mouth for the last 30 years, or is it the Aspartamine, or Fukashima? I know what it is .. it all this stuff. It’s the cell phone tower thats 300 yards from my house. It’s the Americium-241 in my Fire Dectector.</em></p>
<p><em>I mean I could go on all day listing the stuff that killing us in this day and age.</em></p>
<p><em>My friends are getting tired of hearing about me talking about toxins and electromatic radiation. They say ” Can’t you just sit back and enjoy life?”</em></p>
<p><em>The answer is no. As long as I feel like crap I can’t enjoy life. So what can I do? Start fighting for my life.</em></p>
<p><em>Lloyd, if you wont take the time to make a list ( a list ) with meter reading levels. I’m going to some day soon. And I will send you a copy.</em></p>
<p><em>Question, If I buy a trifield emf detector for 127$ U.S. will it also detect the nuclear radiation such as that found in smoke detectors. P.S. Americium-241 is right next to Plutonium-239 so would the AMericium decay into Plutonium? The most deadly toxin substance known to mankind?</em></p>
<p><em>Sorry for any typing mistake but I have a headache and i can’t sit to close to my old style computer moniter with out really getting sick.</em></p>
<p>And here is my reply&#8230;</p>
<p>Hi Chris</p>
<p>Yes they do say “pain is a great motivator” and they also say “what does not kill you makes you stronger” I can identify closely with both these ideas.  I became electrically sensitive in 2002, I don’t like to dwell on it much but I do know about pain and suffering, I felt it for every minute, every second of every hour of my day for the best part of 5 years.</p>
<p>Also, when you say “I search and search for an answer. I try to eliminate all toxins, I quit smoking, taking prescription meds. I been try to eat health foods. Still nothing works.”</p>
<p>It might seem as though nothing works, in that you do not feel better, but I can assure you things are working, your body is in a state of crisis, its trying to get out of that crisis….</p>
<p>And yes, your mercury dental fillings (I have mine still), Fukushima, Aspartamine, that cell tower etc etc  its very likely that all these things have their part to play in how you are feeling. But lets take it one step at a time. Clearly you are reacting to the EMFs in your environment, you need to do something about it.</p>
<p>“So what can I do? Start fighting for my life.” I prefer not to see this as a fight where there is a winner and a lose, its more a path you take to try and bring more harmony into your life.</p>
<p>You asked me about getting some RF readings. You remember I explained to you in <a href="http://electricsense.com/3217/radio-frequency-radiation-worst-offenders/" target="_blank">your previous question</a> to me that readings are not as black and white as they may seem.</p>
<h1>Accuracy of RF Readings</h1>
<p>You see, to get &#8220;reliable&#8221; results you really need professional equipment and  then it helps if you are an electrical engineer, to be able to interpret  them. Whereas I use pretty basic equipment. There is a reason I do this, there are several actually, but the main one is I use equipment which anyone can use. The objective is not to get the most accurate readings possible, its to get sufficiently accurate readings in a given environment with a given meter to be able to make decisions about where EMF protection and mitigation is needed most.</p>
<p>I know these readings are sometimes inaccurate. But I also know what an eye opening exercise it is to be able to gain an understanding of what these exposures are. Its about taking action and a meter will enable you to do this.</p>
<p>Second is the problem of general electrosmog. Its difficult to tell the strength of the signal, or field density with RF radiation, in a given location from any one source because there are so many sources contributing. Electrical engineers use a spectrum analyzer to identify different RF sources.  Your main concern is the RF radiation levels in a given place. An RF meter will tell you this, a spectrum analyzer would be overkill.</p>
<h2>Some Typical RF Readings</h2>
<p>Despite my reservations about giving misleading readings, I did not want to disappoint Chris. So here are some RF readings in volts per meter you might get at 1 meter from the source:</p>
<p>DECT phone  3 V/m</p>
<p>Cell phone 4 V/m</p>
<p>WiFi 2 V/m</p>
<p>Cell towers are more complicated still. Different cell towers give off different levels of radiation depending how many antennas they are equipped with. And even the same cell phone tower can give different readings at different times of the day as more channels are used to enable communications during peak periods. But for a cell tower with multiple carriers you could expect to get readings of 1-2 V/m or more at 500m distance.</p>
<h3>Can Nuclear Radiation be measured With An EMF Meter?</h3>
<p>No. I am no specialist on nuclear radiation but I do know it is much higher up the EMF spectrum, so a <a href="http://electricsense.com/1336/is-the-trifield-100xe-the-best-emf-meter/" target="_blank">Trifield meter</a> or even an RF meter will not give you any readings for this type of radiation.</p>
<h3>What To Do With These RF Readings</h3>
<p>First thing is, you do need your own readings. They can vary hugely, not just cell tower radiation (as explained above) , but the other devices also. One brand of DECT phone may emit 50% more or less radiation than another brand.</p>
<p>Secondly its not the RF levels that are important its your exposure to them. How close are you to the cell tower? Thats to say distance from the source. And also duration of exposure. In the above example the cell phone looks the worst culprit but if you are an infrequent cell phone user then cell phones are less of a problem.</p>
<p>And then lets not forget that there is more to electromagnetic fields than just RF readings. For an overview of EMF sources in your home <a href="http://electricsense.com/2593/emfs-in-your-home-%E2%80%93-my-protection-tips/" target="_blank">see here</a>.  RF readings and EMF readings generally are just the starting point you then need to act on this information, reduce your exposure  and look at the <a href="http://electricsense.com/category/electrical-sensitivity/healthy-living-solutions/" target="_blank">bigger picture</a> in terms of your health&#8230;.</p>
