EMF Protection Steps
As in every area of family health, it’s the Woman of the household who is listening and taking stock of the family’s use of electronic devices. Unless the man is already having health issues that he suspects are due to wireless devices, it’s Mom who calls for help!
Get Started – Assess the Exposure/Use of Devices
Take an Inventory of Who in the home is using what devices
Where are they being used? How many hours/day? Have children (over age 12, hopefully) and adults keep their own Diary of Electronics Usage (EU). Children who begin using wireless electronics at younger ages are 500x more likely to have cancer in 20 years, scientists predict. Your children are the experiment!
Hold a Family Conference
Watch together the film Generation Zapped and/or the Netflix documentary The Social Media Dilemma. Pause the film and discuss together what you’re learning, hear the thoughts/feelings/experiences of each one. They may express concerns that had been unspoken previously.
More than 40 States have filed lawsuits against Meta for concealing how the FB and Instagram platforms exploit and manipulate youth, harming “the mental and physical health of our nation’s youth.” 10/2023
Buy a RF meter to discover sources of
EMF or NIR in your home and lives
Without a meter, even those who are knowledgeable about sources will miss 50% of sources—this has been the experience of an EMF-remediation engineer with 30+ years’ experience. This is a budget RF meter recommended by engineers in this field, here. It’s an excellent start. You may decide you also need the meters to measure Electricity and Magnetic fields—they’re all problematic in these years. Living in this decade without at least an RF meter is like living without a toothbrush—it will harm your health
Set Household Rules & Boundaries for use of devices
In a family conference decide 1) in which rooms what devices will be used, 2) time-restrictions—decide how much time each individual needs to or is allowed to be on devices. Visitors to the home—do you want them to leave phones and devices on Airplane Mode in a Faraday bag or a basket at the front door? (Otherwise, they’re bringing NIR into the home.)
It’s a very different experience for children to spend time with friends when whatever they say or do is NOT going to be put out on social media
Get Wired and Shield devices
Now it’s time to consider whether you can hardwire your home with fiber optic cable instead of using a WiFi Router to beam NIR through the house. If you own the property, this is the best option, and that project is beyond the scope of this paper. What everyone can do is Shield the Router and use Ethernet cords to computers, a telephone (land-line type just using the internet instead of copper wires), speakers, and all other wireless devices, including Bluetooth
Tame the Router
It should be placed in the least-used room, not the Living Room or anyone’s bedroom. Since they’re in varying sizes and shapes, the easiest, cheapest method of shielding a router is to buy a roll of aluminum screening material at the hardware store (be certain it’s aluminum, not a plastic imitation). Wrap up the router like a gift package, 2 or 3 layers of screen and use a light wire (soldering wire) to close the top and bottom. Any scissors can cut a slit for cords. I have reduced the radiation levels by 97% using this, and there was still enough connectivity for upper and lower floors of the home.
Bedrooms as Sanctuary
It is during sleep that the body, especially the brain, is restored and rejuvenated. If you don’t have good sleep, you don’t get to GO. And more than 70 million Americans have sleep disturbances. Get a battery-operated alarm clock for the nightstand—no cell phone for a clock! Remove all electronics from the bedroom, including chargers—nada in everyone’s sleep sanctuary. In case there’s faulty wiring in the walls, move headboards 6-8” from the wall. (An Electricity meter would measure this—another project.)
Neighbourhood Pollutants
Much of the NIR in your home may be coming from the neighbors. And as you clean up and improve your exposure in your home and life, you may want to or need to talk with the neighbors. Share the screen material with 3-4 neighbors—you’ll have plenty! My heaviest exposure to NIR that had the longest-lasting impact was from a neighbor’s router 10 feet across the yard. Only a meter would have discovered that for me!
Film on Windows can reduce or totally block outside sources, see choices here. If you live in an older building without fiber optic cable, everyone has a router, and you have dozens of networks available on your phone or computer, shielding your family is more complex—a project beyond the scope here.
Grounding or Earthing
The earth’s soil has negative ions which effectively balance us when we’re charged with NIR. Spending time in a safe outdoors area calms the spirit which has the effect of calming the physical body. Note that the materials of most shoes today block that transference –go barefoot, leather soles, or sit on the ground to gain the healing effects of Mother Earth. After long flights and hours in airports, I spend hours/day for 3-4 days on an (untreated) lawn or on the beach to restore balance. Get children off screens and send them outdoors to play.
