Thank you Simon for your question. The best way to know how to protect yourself, is to first know how much, and what type of EMF you're being exposed to. Do you have any meters to measure AC electric, magnetic, or radiofrequency (RF/ 5G)?
I don't typically like to recommend personal protection, as honestly many devices can only make matters worse. However Safe Living Technologies offers a shielded bed canopy, which they can also install for you. Many times products like earthing mats or shielding are installed incorrectly, or worse yet plugged into the wall, and this can make matters worse especially due to dirty electricity.
I'm in the process of going wired to all devices and eliminating wifi in the home. Other than that, when I'm out and about I'm concerned about what I can not control. You believe most personal protection devices are not worth it? Don't work?
That's terrific to hear Simon. Yes unfortunately I don't think many devices really work. Some people do like pendants using what's called biogeometry, and this has been shown to alleviate symptoms, however I don't personally use this right now, not to say that it can't work: https://www.biogeometry.ca/home
Best practice is to ditch our phones and not use any wireless devices, as this is what feeds the beast of more towers popping up.
If you're looking for a router, I think the Arris surfboard is one that can be wired.
Great question Alyce. Honestly I am not 100% sure, it all depends on your EMF environment. The best way to tell if it's okay is by taking a body voltage measurement, which should still be zero. I aim to not wear any metal. I do use copper tensor rings to help purify my water however. I hope that helps?
When did you become interested /concerned about EMF?
Hi Lizzie, so sorry I missed your message. For the future, always feel free to email me so I don't miss anything, and I usually get back w/in 48 hrs. info@thepowercouple.ca
You can take body voltage 2 ways: buy, or make your own body voltage meter, put the black plug into the ground (connect to a screwdriver) and then connect the red to your skin.
The course we're launching on Feb 26th will have lessons, and a live call covering this and everything EMF:
Does the efield of home wiring depend on the load of the circuit or is it always present if voltage is on the line? Mag field should be current dependent.
In both cases, does metal conduit help mitigate the stray fields? Things that have to be plugged in done so with shorter cords or placed in cable a sheath?
Correct mag field should be current dependent. The efield is always present, especially with dirty electricity and transient voltage from neighbors and surrounding area. The best way to mitigate this is to ensure the circuit breaker and electrical system is properly grounded, and to shut it off the main breaker.
Metal conduit does certainly help mitigate, however unfortunately this isn't used in most residential, only commercial builds.
As to your last question about things being plugged in, I may not be understanding correctly, but I'm not sure if there's a way to sheath most plugs from the appliance to the wall. There probably is a way, but I've never done it before. Best practice I find is just to unplug whatever I'm not using, as even if a plug is left in the outlet with nothing attached, this will cause a "vampire" current to be drawn.
Does this help clarify?
What is your number #1 priority in terms of EMF mitigation? Do you shut off the power to the bedroom at night?
Are you an electrician? Sounds like you know more than most. Thanks so much for chiming in and for your thoughtful questions.
I am in a metal tiny home which does good stuff forr RF shielding but also means all house systems are in the "bedroom" so to speak. making them hard to turn off at night. Fuel stove has 2 ac motors that would be hard to replace or run on DC. Same for fridge. Running conduit is an option though.
My off grid inverters are victron multiplus (in external building away from cabin). These are pure sine wave but likely have some amount of "chop" in the ac signal. That might look like dirty electricity.
RF near bed in uW/M^2 come in at like 15 peak and 0.5 average on a safe and sound pro 2. But ac fields are below my measurement range, by a lot. So, not sure what my priority should be.
Speaking of dirty electricity, I have heard that term but still do not understand it. Is it referring to back emf or reactive power from inductive loads? Or is it the wires in a house acting as a receiver for external sources? If that's the case, how does unpowering the line help?
Good questions again. Dirty electricity occurs as high voltage transients come in through our wiring, as our wiring acts as a receiver like you state. Turning off the power and unplugging any devices that use switch mode power supply (such as laptop and phone chargers) will help a bit, although not completely. Fluorescent bulbs also create dirty electricity through this switching mechanism because they have a switch mode power supply in their base that converts 60 Hz AC current into DC current, then changes the voltage inot a higher frequency, typically around 50,000 Hz. Dimmer switches are another source.
Your inverters may also have dirty electricity, as you mention. They can generate low-voltage DC electricity, which could raise voltage. Monitors and TVs also create dirty electricity because their components run on DC electricity.
Here's a little blurb I wrote about dirty electricity:
I bought Stetzer filters to help measure and filter the amount of dirty electricity. Some people will also buy a whole-house filter, which causes less current to travel through your wires because the voltage is in line with the current, also known as phase correction, and can also reduce magnetic fields, and increase energy efficiency.
Sorry to bug you...but the house I live in was built in 1903 and it also has some remodel wiring features. I am curious how age of home affects the things you speak of like emf
No bugging allowed Alyce! j/k Good question. Older homes can have what's called "knob and tube" wiring, which can sometimes emit higher magnetic fields, but not always. There are many other variables to consider as well, such as dirty electricity and grounding of the wire/ circuit breaker. Best way to tell is to get a meter, like the Trifield TF2 and measure, aside from getting an electrician to come in. You want them to look for "net current."
Thanks for that Patti, it's good to know that you're getting positive results from it. I'm wary to recommend many products, but that's why I love hearing feedback like yours, from verified practitioners and sources like Tennant.
Roman have you looked at Dr Jerry Tennants MD work. I learned about him in 2010 and became one of his educators.
He wrote Healing is Voltage. I think there is a second edition available. He produced the Tennant Biomodulator which can measure voltage in meridians and in acupuncture points and other tissues. I have used it successfully since 2010.
Thanks for this info Patti. Yes I have heard of him, unfortunately haven't read this book yet. I would be interested in learning more about that biomodulator. Are there any links to a reputable source where I coudl buy one?
Roman this book is very thick and addresses the fascia electrical system whis is separate from the nervous system. Excellent material and a great reference book.
Thanks so much buddy. It was a stretch pulling this podcast out, so sorry for the subpar product. I can definitely tell a difference standing in my basement office in front of my computer, barefoot on the concrete. I even sleep on the concrete floor, with a wool blanket as a pad, and it's more comfortable that you would think. Especially for guys like us with strong backbones.
FYI Here's a link to one of those body volt meters:
Hi, does turning your power off/on wear out the fuse? I think an electrician said that to me once. Just wondering if you’ve had any issues with yours, assuming you’re doing this evening/morning. Thanks for your information:)
That's a good question Christine - I'm not sure. I haven't had any issues, and have been doing this for about 6 years now. Good to know, I will ask my electrician when I see him or can track him down!
I know! Those spiders definitely love creeping up on us in the night. If you go into your garage, just make sure you're not close to any electrical panel or smart meter.
At the very least, can you turn off the power to your bedroom? Do you have any metal frames? Can you purchase a bed with a wooden frame, with wool futon?
What are the best home and personal protection devices you know of?

What about gold jewelry? Do you have/use cell phone/wifi in home?
I would take off the gold jewelry before you take a measurement. No I don't have a cell phone or use WiFi.
Since I fainted when "they" turned 5g on in early 2020. Also tennitis began in 2020.
Hey Roman... Book drop...

You probably have it.
Thanks so much John! Sorry just getting back to you now. Yes it changed how I see so much. I work with Arthur.

Dr Tennant makes an EMF Tesla shield. Do you know about it? I have one running 24/7.
Thanks for that Patti, it's good to know that you're getting positive results from it. I'm wary to recommend many products, but that's why I love hearing feedback like yours, from verified practitioners and sources like Tennant.
Two questions:
How does this shield make you feel differently?
Can you send me a link?
Go look up the Tennant website use Tennant Biomodulator to find it. It can treat issues like pain and other things.
Roman have you looked at Dr Jerry Tennants MD work. I learned about him in 2010 and became one of his educators.

More on that later. I haven't sold one in awhile so I have to review the updates on prices etc.
Gotcha. Thanks for the info anyway - and for the reminder to read this book.
Roman this book is very thick and addresses the fascia electrical system whis is separate from the nervous system. Excellent material and a great reference book.
*In a high pitched voice* "Roman has fallen, I...Starscream of the Decepticons am now your leader. Decepticons follow me!!!!"
Get well soon.
Yeah I still need to get one of those meters. I think my garage is good to ground in and walking around barefoot in it does help.
Thanks so much buddy. It was a stretch pulling this podcast out, so sorry for the subpar product.

You can also build your own for under $100. I can show you how.

Thanks for the link. As long as its solid info(which it always is) I could care less about the audio quality.
I sleep on the floor in my bedroom and having been doing it for almost a year now.
I should try my garage though I need to clean it up a bit so spiders aren't copping a feel while I sleep.
I know! Those spiders definitely love creeping up on us in the night. If you go into your garage, just make sure you're not close to any electrical panel or smart meter.
I’m in an apartment with neighbors below and next to me. How can i protect myself from their power/smart devices? Any recommendations?
At the very least, can you turn off the power to your bedroom? Do you have any metal frames? Can you purchase a bed with a wooden frame, with wool futon?
