Practical Advice

Avoiding radiation

All doctors who diagnose and treat Electrosensitivity agree that the key requirement for anyone with ES is to avoid radiation.

• "Do You Know That I Love You?" (2017, 3 min.)
  

The importance of everyone avoiding all man-made radiation is becoming overwhelmingly evident. This is especially true if you have, or could develop, a chronic disease. About 40% of US adults have some chronic inflammation.

1. You yourself

• Do not use a cellphone (mobile phone) or Bluetooth.
  Use a land-line telephone instead.
  
• Do not use an iPad or tablet with wireless switched on. 
  Make sure the wireless is switched off; use only cable connections.
• Do not use virtual home assistants, such as Amazon Echo, Alexa or Google Home, especially if there are children, pregnant women or elderly people in the home.
  Instead use cabled devices without wireless.

2. Your home and office

• Do not use a cordless (DECT) phone.
  Use a wired phone with a land-line instead.
• Do not have a wireless smart meter fitted.
  Keep an analogue one without wireless.
• Do not have WiFi
  Use cables or DLAN plugs instead (but keep away from the wiring).
• Remove as many electrical devices from your sleeping area and near your bed as possible.
  Avoid having clock radios and chargers near your bed.
  Do not use an electric blanket while in bed.
  Keep your sleeping area free of electromagnetic exposure.
  
• Do not use virtual home assistants, such as Amazon Echo, Alexa or Google Home, especially if there are children, pregnant women or elderly people in the home.
  Instead use cabled devices without wireless.

3. Your environment and housing area

• Avoid living near a cellphone tower or phone mast, including apartments below roof antennas.
• Avoid living near neighbours with WiFi and wireless smart meters, or ask them to replace wireless devices with wired ones.
• Avoid living near an airport with radar in your direction.
• Avoid living near overhead power cables, mains supplies or substations.
  

4. Your daily activities

• Avoid where possible all schools, medical centres, shops, buses, trains and aircraft with WiFi.
  Wear protective clothing if necessary.

5. 'White' zones

• Find a 'green/white' zone free of wireless radiation. The Council of Europe in 2011 recommended that European states have these for ES people. They should cover the same percentage of  land area as the percentage of people affected, along with public spaces, shops and schools to allow ES people equal rights of access.

• Devices require a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) away from your body to prevent heating, and much further to prevent health effects. Amazon: "This device should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body."
  ​Google Home: "a separation distance of at least 20 cm should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation."

Do not use a cellphone in a car, because the metal body of the car traps the radiation and the cellphone has to emit more radiation to communicate with the nearest tower.

Beware of Bluetooth and Wifi used in the vehicle.

Beware of the battery and other electrical equipment in an electric car.

Ionizing (Nuclear, Atomic) Radiation

Some experts regard non-ionising radiation as more harmful than ionising radiation:
“Comparison of risks for the population of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation leads us to a conclusion that EMF RF exposure in conditions of wide use of mobile communication is potentially more harmful than ionizing radiation influence.”

• ​Grigor'ev IuG: [Ionizing and non-ionizing radiation (comparative risk estimations)] (Radiats Biol Radioecol., 2012) 

Ionizing radiation particles can be absorbed by trees and plants. These radioactive particles can be released through burning, in hearth stoves or in wild fires, years later.

• Gregg Lien: "California’s Wildfires and Nuclear Radiation – A Personal Story" (Akio Matsumura: Finding the Missing Link, August 7 2018)

Radioactive particles, e.g. from Chernobyl and Fukushima, may be attracted to high voltage power lines and other sources of non-ionizing radiation.
