I have been suffering from dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, confusion after being on my computer for any length of time. Then I came across this site:
I'm interested in frequnecy healing and think it's possible that the EMF waves are interacting with the bugs OR some people just may be sensitive.
Alot of people are very ill from this.
I remember I first started really getting ill after buying my first apple computer in 1999.
Check the site out!

Chris, read some of Gigi's post about this subject. I realized several months ago I was sensitive to some things. I used a little electrical reading machine (forgot what it's called) and found areas in my house that were unhealthy for me.
I never stand in the kitchen when I use the microwave. Nothing is plugged in the bedroom but the alarm clock and it's 15 ft from me.
I was sitting between my computer and wall in room that has the entire home electrical panel in it was at my back. I've blocked the electrical panel wall and now sitting at the computer is not effecting me.
Flourescent lights really effect me. Hard to avoid but I do things like when I'm in the docs office I turn lights off until he comes in room.
As the body starts to heal and get stronger, the sensitivities start to die down too.
Take care, Pam

There is the geopathic stress and the biophysical stress.
The man-made electromagnetic stress is getting worse and worse every day. A recent German study shows that the worst stress in that form comes from cordless telephones at home. That is not from cell phones. It is not from the electric wiring. It is cordless phones at home.
The system that is used here in the U.S. broadcasts a 24-hour signal. Wherever you have reception with the cordless phone in the house, it "is not compatible with human life. It is as simple as that." (Dr. K's words). The simple solution is to go and get yourself a corded phone with whatever you need on it. I purchased one at WalMart. They are inexpensive and give much higher quality in reception. You will also get a bit more exercise by having to go back and forth to get to the phone. It will eliminate the main man-made problem that right now exists.
The second big problem is the room you sleep in for seven hours or so. You do not drop into the deep phases of sleep if your bedroom is electrically distured. Dr. K. teaches his patients to locate where the plugs are on the side of walls. Then find the fuses in the fuse box that deadens both sides. It is very important to look on both sides of the wall. You need to find out how to make this wall completely dead. By doing that, especially children have dramatic improvements in their health.
And remember, it takes about 4 weeks. There is not going to be much change the next night. That's why it is being missed by many. It is very hard to find a study in America that looks at the patient for more than three weeks! Most studies end at 3 weeks. You need a study that goes at least 5 weeks for this.
One more thing on cell phones. Yes, it is safer to use the hands-free setup, and you should not wear the cell phone on the body, even if it is shut off. There are dramatic physiological effects. Got a hip pain or a backache?
A friend of Dr. K. did a brain scan study in Germany on cell phones, with a guatitative EEG. In a 3-4 minute phone call she had her group of patients do, she found that there were some changes in the quantitative EEG on the side of the brain and then it went back to normal.
She repeated the study every 4 hours, and she found that pretty exactly after 24 hours after this four-minute phone call, the entire other side of the brain went into a total shut-down mode for 6 hours --- from that 4-minute phone call. She repeated the studies on larger groups - every time the same results.
Ever wondered why so many are so nervous and hyperactive? Many have trouble focusing longer than 5 minutes on anything? Devastating effects on the brain.
Credit cards ---- Dr. Omura showed they can have a devastating effect on medical uptake and tumor tissue. If you have breast cancer and you wear a credit card somewhere on your body, it shuts the system down in a way that the tumor tissue does not take up any of the anti-tumor medication. Take the credit cards out, and it happens again.
When we sleep at night - some of us do - the brain goes into a whole other mode, where it cannot take any stress. When we go into a deep parasympathetic dominant state of the slow brain waves, there are no defenses that our body has. Our energy field gets very porous and sort of weak or rather very receptive. It switches to reception, and if you are surrounded by these strong electromagnetic fields, wonder what happens.............
It is one of the main problems in the terrain that is making us sick.
Heck no, it's not just Lyme ---
Take care.
P.S. Have no time to read this - hope you understand what I was trying to sa. My husband is waiting for me to spend the evening with him --
P.P.S. We pulled the fuses into the bedrooms for many months. Wasn't able to read any longer in bed anyway. I stomped my toe a couple of times - so be ready with flashlight, etc.
Please pay some some attention to this "weird stuff" - believe me after a while you will notice a change for the better.

This is a subject that cannot be explained by e-mail and everyone needs to educate oneself.
Troup, you might want to start with a book available at the library
"Warning: The electricity around you may be hazardous to your life." by Sugarman.
Another good book: Silencing the Fields, by Ed Leeper. www.Silencing the Fields. com.
www.LessEMF.com Current Switch: How to identify and reduce or eliminate electromagnetic pollution in the house. Video by John & Trisha Barta. 2nd Edition.
I have not looked at any of this recently - you may find more that is informative.
I lost some files from old computer to new one - so I am giving you this from memory. When I find the info, I will post it.
Take care.

Here is my collection of info sources for Electromagnetic Frequency exposure. Check your libraries, and do not ignore this subject. It is always a concern with neuro problems, or for that matter, any problems.
PUBLIC EXPOSURE: DNA, DEMOCRACY AND THE WIRELESS REVOLUTION (VHS Video)
This 58-minute film is the first of its kind to explore the potential health risks and consequences of proliferating wireless devices and transmitting antennas (especially cell phones). The state of the science and needed public policy solutions are reviewed from an international citizen's rights and consumer advocacy perspective. This video talks about what the communications industry prefers not to discuss --- how exposure to radiation from wireless communications technology poses a major environmental health threat.
See footage of experts discussing the known biological threats posed by wireless radiation, sit in on public hearings (including pleas by Senator Tom Hayden of California) discussing the need for a rational policy on cell tower sitting, and gain valuable ammunition to help you discuss this important issue intelligently with neighbors, town boards, school boards, anyone involved in tower sitting and attorneys. Also a great teaching tool for students.
Public Exposure Video (Cat. #A635) ..... $20.00

Does anyone have the name/manufacturer of a device that may be able to measure this in a house?

BillATL, Yes, there are devices you can buy that are being used to measure. There are also companies that do the measuring. I cannot begin to tell you here all the details and would only invite myself another problem.
I made the effort to post all the information, to my knowledge, the best information, for easy access to it. That's up to you to research this, by calling some of the places above ---- . You have to do the deciding.
Electromagnetic exposure and the stress it causes has been talked about for many years. I was warned about it ten years ago when I was ill. My doctor alerted me, tested me (with ART) and advised us what to do. It is not a new problem, and yet it is a new one and bigger one every day ---- just like Lyme, just like Heavy Metal toxicity, just like everything that we are still creating daily for ourselves.
In a couple of month my doctor is holding a seminar for doctor, architects, builders, lay people, on the subject of healthy home surroundings --- The reason: he simply has too many ill patients that are sick also because of this exposure in their daily lives.
Once you understand the problem after learning enough about it, you can take simple precautions --- that's a good start. Enjoy learning about it - that's the quickest way and probably most affordable way.
Take care.
P.S. Apparently, some of the new "hybrid" cars are bad when it comes to EMF. Keep your old clunker! This was discussed by some researchers/doctors last year at a "Healthy Home" seminar. It seems in some hybrids, batteries are under the rear seat where the kids usually are sitting!!!!!!!!!!!! I need a new car soon: think I definitely will get a used one that no longer outgases plastics or formaldehyde, etc. The famous new car smell............

I may have some magnetic fild testers sitting around somewhere. They are circuit boards only, no cases. I could give one or two away. They will tell you the number one offender is your computer monitor!!!! Get a flat LCD monitor.
IMO the biggest problem is UHF TV transmitters and cell towers. Next would be using cell phones in cars where the signal bounces off the metal and comes back to you. Use an outside antenna and a handsfree device. If nothing else use the cell phone on the side closest to the window.
