EMF protection, cell phone diodes, and pendants, Oh My!

Posted by Catherine [1260.4388] on June 25, 2008 at 10:27:31:

Hello all,

I have been looking into EMF (electromagnetic field) protection devices and have a couple questions.

I have searched the archives here thoroughly and have seen a few brief references to personal protection devices such as Cook’s diodes and the Clarus Q pendant. (I also took note of an interesting comment by Walt regarding building a Faraday cage in one’s bedroom.) I do not think my questions have been answered by anything posted thus far, so here I go:

1. Is a simple, inexpensive Cooks pocket diode a decent level of protection for the average individual in our current emf-polluted environment? If not, what is?

2. Do the cute, little cell phone diodes that look like round buttons that adhere to the ear piece of the phone really work? If not, what is adequate cell phone protection ?

3. If I have adequate personal protection (in the form of a cooks diode or pendant) do I also need additional diodes for cell phones, appliances, etc?

4. Walt, can you point me to a source of more complete info regarding building a “Faraday cage” in my bedroom?

I have begun to do my own research, but there are so many people hawking these devices on the internet, I am having a hard time telling what’s legit and what’s simply a clever bit of marketing.

Of course, in the meantime I am practicing the 3Ls so as to improve my overall health in a world where I have much more control over that than over things such as emf-pollution.

Many thanks in advance for any answers to the above.

Warm greetings of peace to all,

Catherine

Hi Catherine,

"1. Is a simple, inexpensive Cooks pocket diode a decent level of protection for the average individual in our current emf-polluted environment? If not, what is?

===============
If you believe that your cell phone is too close to your brain, use a WIRED headset not the bluetooth wireless type.
Anything that might protect you from cel phone's EMF
will also affect it's range and lost calls will result.

3. If I have adequate personal protection (in the form of a cooks diode or pendant) do I also need additional diodes for cell phones, appliances, etc?
=======================================
I am sure that the sellers will gladly sell you all that you think you need.
Be skeptical.. They are preying on your fears.

Ron,

Many thanks for your response.

I will look into getting a headphone set for my cell phone.

I agree that skepticism is required in our world where nearly everyone has something to sell. But I don't want to be skeptical of products that truly improve my health.

Again, if anyone has any specific advice regarding EMF protection devices, that advice will be very welcome.

Thanks to all,

Catherine

Found the "Energy Healing" archives

Hello all,

Again.

I just discovered the “Energy Healing” archive and reading through it, including the discussion regarding building a Faraday cage.

Phew. . . dizzying stuff.

Anyway, the impression I’m getting from the archives is that the small, inexpensive EMF protection devices aren’t all that useful. Otherwise, I assume they would pop up as a standard recommendation on a board like this one. More elaborate protection is needed it seems . . .

Or increasing one’s own horsepower—so, back to the 3Ls.

Apologies for my monologue-dialogue.

Thanks again,

Catherine

Catherine, immune strength is a must, no matter what. Sensitivity varies among people, so things like the faraday cage and other devices might really help with some folks. I look forward to hearing Dr. Stoll's response. I just bought the Q-Link pendant because it sounded so good, I am trying to heal a badly injured foot, and because I am highly sensitive. I hope it does something. :)

At many radio frequencies, the human body makes an excellent antenna. A properly designed Faraday Cage can be expected to provide protection against RF radiation. Any device that does not place an actual physical barrier around the human body can not be expected to provide any significant protection from RF radiation.
We are being exposed to greater and greater levels of RF radiation. Cell phone towers, wi-fi, direct broadcast satellites, radar installations and others, are sources of RF radiation to which we are all continuously exposed. Despite offical assurances, the effects of chronic exposure to RF radiation at these levels on the human body is, of course, unknown. It is "assumed" that it is safe. Of course, the ancient Romans assumed that the lead they used to make their water pipes, drinking cups, and dinner plates was safe. It seems they were wrong.

Hi Catherine,

If you are unnecessaryily worried and stressing yourself about things that will probably not harm you, guess what happens to your immune system?

Things that your body is supposed to ward off could end up being more of a risk.

Hi, Catherine.

I really do not know if these "gadgets" actually work or not. I do know that the 3LS is what I use for myself to resist these unavoidable stressors. In my opinion, a Faraday Cage, to sleep in, is the only practical and proven way to cut out a significant portion of the total daily burden of EMS.

Hope this helps.

Walt

Walt,

Your answer helps tremendously, as having read both of your books and followed your BB for years (though with very minimal posting here and there), I trust your insight very much.

I will focus on the 3Ls and read up on Faraday cages.

Many thanks,

Catherine

Ron,

Good point. I thought about that too.

Thanks,

Hi Zapp,

Don't forget,... we have Mercury in Compact Fluorescent Bulbs to make up for the Lead that we now avoid.
