Serious Public Health Concerns Raised Over Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) from Power Lines and Cell Phones
An international working group of scientists, researchers and public health policy professionals (The BioInitiative Working Group) has released its report on electromagnetic fields (EMF) and health. It raises serious concern about the safety of existing public limits that regulate how much EMF is allowable from power lines, cell phones, and many other sources of EMF exposure in daily life..
Electromagnetic radiation from such sources as electric power lines, interior wiring and grounding of buildings and appliances are linked to increased risks for childhood leukemia and may set the stage for adult cancers later in life. A report from the BioInitiative Working Group (www.bioinitiative.org) released on Friday, August 31st documents the scientific evidence that power line EMF exposure is responsible for hundreds of new cases of childhood leukemia every year in the United States and around the world.
The report provides detailed scientific information on health impacts when people are exposed to electromagnetic radiation hundreds or even thousands of times below limits currently established by the Federal Communications Commission(US FCC) and International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection in Europe (ICNIRP).
The authors reviewed more than 2000 scientific studies and reviews, and concluded that the existing public safety limits are inadequate to protect public health. From a public health policy standpoint, new public safety limits, and limits on further deployment of risky technologies are warranted based on the total weigh of evidence.
The report documents scientific evidence raising worries about childhood leukemia(from power lines and other electrical exposures), brain tumors and acoustic neuromas (from cell and cordless phones) and Alzheimer’s disease. There is evidence that EMF is a risk factor for both childhood and adult cancers. Public health expert and co-editor of the Report Dr. David Carpenter, Director,Institute for Health and the Environment at the University of Albany, New York says “this report stands as a wake-up call that long-term exposure to some kinds of EMF may cause serious health effects. Good public health planning is needed now to prevent cancers and neurological diseases linked to exposure to power lines and other sources of EMF. We need to educate people and our decisionmakers that “business as usual” is unacceptable.”
Health questions about power line EMFs were initially raised by Nancy Wertheimer, a Colorado public health expert and Ed Leeper, an electrical engineer in 1979. She noticed that children were twice or three times as likely to have leukemia tended to live in homes in the Denver, CO area close to power lines and transformers. Now, there are dozens of studies confirming the link, but public health response has been slow in coming, and new standards to protect the public are necessary.
Brain tumor specialist Dr. Lennart Hardell, MD, PhD and Professor at University Hospital in Orebro, Sweden is a member of the BioInitiative Working Group. His work on cell phones, cordless phones and brain tumors is widely recognized to be pivotal in the debate about the safety of wireless radiofrequency and microwave radiation. The evidence for risks from prolonged cell phone and cordless phone use is quite strong when you look at people who have used these devices for 10 years or longer, and when they are used mainly on one side of the head.
Brain tumors normally take a long time to develop, on the order of 15 to 20 years. Use of a cell or cordless phone is linked to brain tumors and acoustic neuromas(tumor of the auditory nerve in the brain) and are showing up after only 10 years (a shorter time period than for most other known carcinogens). “This indicates we need research on more long-term users to understand the full risks” says Dr.Hardell.
Dr. Hardell’s work has been confirmed in other studies on long-term users. A summary estimate of all studies on brain tumors shows overall a 20% increased risk of brain tumor (malignant glioma) with ten years of use. But the risk increases to 200% (a doubling of risk) for tumors on the same side of the brain as mainly used during cell phone calls. “Recent studies that do not report increased risk of brain tumors and acoustic neuromas have not looked at heavy users, use over ten years or longer, and do not look at the part of the brain which would reasonably have exposure to produce a tumor.”
Wireless technologies that rely on microwave radiation to send emails and voice communication are thousands of times stronger than levels reported to cause some health impacts. Prolonged exposure to radiofrequency and microwave radiation from cell phones, cordless phones, cell towers, WI-FI and other wireless technologies have linked to physical symptoms including headache, fatigue, sleeplessness, dizziness, changes in brainwave activity, and impairment of concentration and memory. Scientists report that these effects can occur with even very small levels of exposure, if it occurs on a daily basis. Children in particular are vulnerable to harm from environmental exposures of all kinds.
Co-editor of the report, Cindy Sage of Sage Associates says “public health and EMF policy experts have now given their opinion of the weight of evidence. The existing FCC and international limits for public and occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation are not protective of public health. New biologically-based public and occupational exposure are recommended to address bioeffects and potential adverse health effects of chronic exposure. These effects are now widely reported to occur at exposure levels significantly below most current national and international limits.”
Biologically-based exposure standards are needed to prevent disruption of normal body processes. Effects are reported for DNA damage (genotoxicity that is directly linked to integrity of the human genome), cellular communication, cellular metabolism and repair, cancer surveillance within the body; and for protection against cancer and neurological diseases. Also reported are neurological effects including changes in brainwave activity during cell phone calls, impairment of memory, attention and cognitive function; sleep disorders, cardiac effects; and changes in immune function (allergic and inflammatory responses).
Sage says “the Working Group recommends a biologically-based exposure limit that is protective against extremely-low frequency (power line) and radiofrequency fields which, with chronic exposure, can reasonably be presumed to result in significant impacts to health and well-being”. Contributing author Dr. Martin Blank, Columbia University professor and researcher in bioelectromagnetics says “cells in the body react to EMFs as potentially harmful, just like to other environmental toxins, including heavy metals and toxic chemicals.
The DNA in living cells recognizes electromagnetic fields at very low levels of exposure; and produces a biochemical stress response. The scientific evidence tells us that our safety standards are inadequate, and that we must protect ourselves from exposure to EMF due to powerlines, cell phones and the like.” He wrote the section on stress proteins for the BioInitiative Report.

How to Choose A Home
Here is an interesting and informative article by Christan Hummel from Earth Transitions that summaries some of the important aspects one should consider if they are looking for a new home.
After our dermas and clothing, the house is our third skin and a very important factor in keeping healthy. We should remember that when choosing a house or a site we are defining our future quality of life. Geobiology proposes coherent and structured ways to establish the important criteria bearing on this choice. It suggests the following rules of thumb.
SURROUNDINGS:
Harmony between nature and the inhabitants, flowery gardens, trees absorbing dust and producing oxygen.
Compact and hard ground, stony or sandy.
Atmosphere rich in negative ions, near parks, forest or ocean.
Orientation towards North and West for the living area.
Area with little or no noise, away from high power lines and transformers.
Locate the perturbated zones or have them located.
HOUSE:
Construction materials of high natural quality such as wood, stone, bricks and tiles.
Dimensions respecting the human scale, good relation between height, width and length.
Insulation with cork, coco fibre or mineral wool.
Non toxic paint, take notice of the influence of colours (chromotherapy).
Electricity; avoid the transformation of the bedroom into a research laboratory with TV, radio and other electric appliances. The ideal solution would be to be able to switch off the bedroom areas for the night to avoid long exposure to electromagnetic fields (the effects of these fields can be enhanced by metal beds).
Floor coverings made out of natural materials such as terra cotta tiles, cork, wood, woollen carpets or plant fibres.
It is not recommended to have a bedroom situated over a garage. The metallic mass of cars is a strong agent of disturbance of the natural magnetic field.
It is best to sleep with the head of the bed pointing North as to be aligned with the geomagnetic field.
CONCLUSION:
The Ancients translated in their stone temples the great laws of the universe. They all based themselves on the same principles using the cosmo - tellurian forces. Their dynamic complementarily generated a third vital element for Man, the evolution of all things. We must now rediscover these laws hidden in each of us and communicate them to our constructions, from the most modest to the most sumptuous. Such a realization is possible on three levels:
The technical level, product of reason using the laws of mechanics, physics, chemistry and astrophysics to determine the choice of the materials and the site. The harmonic level, the human soul rejoicing in the vital movements of cosmic cycles.
The symbolic level, the knowledge enabling the elaboration of the "Axis Mundi" and Man's spiritual matrix. This level constitutes the intimate ties giving the other two levels their real grandeur.
When these three levels are balanced the building becomes an architectural medicine, a physical, psychological and spiritual harmony.

Geopathic Stress and Animals
Here is an interesting article I came across that discussed the effects of Geopathic Stress on Animals. For those of you who have a sick pet or animal, you may find this especially interesting....
"I first came across mention of it in an article in the Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, in which the author suggested that, when there were many members of a family (animal and human) that had chronic or frequent health problems that did not respond very well to treatment, it would be worth while looking at geopathic stress as a cause. .
We had major health problems with our hounds and our sheep, so called in a dowser to check out the farm and buildings. He found that our sheep house was built over three lines of geopathic stress, so that the whole building was affected. The area we kept the rams in had several lines running through it, and all but one of our fields was affected by several lines. We housed our sheep overwinter and had had major problems each year with just about every health problem known to sheep, and animals dying suddenly. One of the rooms in the kennel block had a line running right through the bed, and every hound that had lived in that room had died of cancer of some kind. The house itself was clear of lines but the whelping room had two running through it.
The dowser felt there was nothing to be done about the lines except move animals away, but I looked more into the matter and discovered that there were ways of neutralising the energies, which is what we did and had immediate improvement in the sheep's health, with no more sudden deaths. I started dowsing and finding lines of geopathic stress for myself.
A friend in America wrote to say that her young dog had developed bone cancer, which all her hounds had died of. This seemed to me almost certainly a case of geopathic stress, so I did some dowsing and then rang and told her that her kennels and all but one room of her house were affected by geopathic stress. She called in dowsers who confirmed my findings; the kennels were both built over crossed lines, which gives rise to the strongest effects, and the house was affected by a grid with only one room clear apart from the area close to one wall.
I dowsed in one house where there were three Great Danes. They had a line of bedding along the wall of the staircase and their person told me that the three would battle over which part they were to sleep on (they were not allowed to sleep elsewhere but had to go on that bedding) and the one lowest in the pack heirarchy always ended up sleeping at one end, which was where I found a line of g.s. He had had chronic health problems all his life and had now (aged five) developed cancer.
It used to be that before a house was built, a flock of sheep would be driven on to the planned site. If they settled down happily, then the house would be built but if they would not settle but kept trying to get away, then another site would be found. Animals are very sensitive to areas affected by geopathic stress and will mostly try to get away from it, although cats are a bit inclined to seek out lines of geopathic stress. Ant hills are often to be found on lines outdoors. One person's dog would only sleep curled into a ball in an area just in front of the television in the sitting room and that turned out to be the only part of the house, except for the porch, that was not affected by a grid of geopathic stress.
There are a number of devices that can be used to deal with the effects of geopathic stress. These are usually plugged in to the electric circuit (although they don't actually run on electricity) and will deal with the whole building but not the outdoors. There are small devices that can be carried around in order to protect the person from geopathic stress found when away from home, such as in shops or hotels. It is often the case that a person who has been exposed to geopathic stress for a long period or at a high rate becomes very sensitive to it for a time wherever they find it, once their own home has been protected, and some people even get withdrawal symptoms from no longer being affected.
In some homes there may be just a single line of geopathic stress that was running through a person's bed or favourite chair and it is usually considered enough to move the bed or chair away from the line. Where there are several lines, particularly if lines cross, it is probably best to use some sort of a device, although some people will use crystals instead.
So how would you know if you are affected by geopathic stress? If you and/or your family and/or animals have health problems that developed following a move to your present home, especially if these problems do not respond to treatment, or only respond to a certain degree, or as soon as one thing clears up another develops. If you or they feel better when away from home. If the "feeling" about your home causes uneasiness in some members of your family or in some visitors, or if your animals try to avoid certain areas in the home. If the previous occupants suffered serious illness. These are all pointers to the possibility of geopathic stress being present
How we dealt with the lines of geopathic stress that affected our farm buildings and kennel block was by tracing where the lines entered our property and deflecting them by means of a piece of angle iron driven into the ground where each line came into our farm land. However, this would not be a reasonable method to use in blocks or estates of houses, because it would be sending the lines into other peoples' property."

Electrosensitivity
Rod Reid who runs the support group ElectroSensitivity-UK, has collected case histories from many sufferers, some of whom are forced to live in isolation, on a restricted diet, without modern comforts, such as electricity or heating, because they have developed multiple chemical sensitivity in addition to their electrosensitivity (also referred to as electro-hypersensitivity or EHS).
If early warning signs are not heeded, some EHS sufferers can go on to develop allergies to almost everything in their environment, and in extreme cases this can include any source of light.
So what are the early warning symptoms?
In 2002, a group of German doctors made a plea for stricter safety limits on mobile telecommunications technology, which included a list of symptoms based on their clinical observations of patients exposed to EMR in their daily life. In this document, known as the Freiburger Appeal, they state that, “One can no longer evade these pulsed microwaves. They heighten the risk of already-present chemical/ physical influences, stress the body’s immune system, and can bring the body’s still-functioning regulatory mechanisms to a halt,” causing:
1. Learning concentration and behavioural disorders (e.g ADD)
2. Extreme fluctuations in blood pressure, ever harder to influence with medications
3. Heart rhythm disorders
4. Heart attacks and strokes among an increasingly younger population
5. Brain-degenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer’s) and epilepsy
6. Cancerous afflictions: leukaemia, brain tumours
Moreover, we have observed an ever-increasing occurrence of various disorders, often misdiagnosed in patients as psychosomatic:
1. Headaches, migraines
2. Inner agitation
3. Chronic exhaustion
4. Sleeplessness, daytime sleepiness
5. Tinnitus
6. Susceptibility to infection
7. Nervous and connective tissue pains, for which the usual causes do not explain even the most conspicuous symptoms
Not everyone who is exposed is affected to the same degree, or manifests the same symptoms. As a Homeopath used to treating the individual and not the disease I do not find this surprising, but this is often given as a reason for the reluctance in the UK to acknowledge that EHS exists, so the real cause goes untreated and the patient may be persuaded that their illness is psychosomatic.
Recently a new provocation study, to look at whether or not people reported symptoms when exposed to mobile phone mast frequencies situated within the Psychology Department at Essex University. We need to ask why research funds were found for a psychological appraisal, when biophysicists in this country find it so hard to fund research into the bio-chemical and bio-energetic effects of different frequencies on the human body.
Some people who volunteered for the Essex study were rejected on the grounds that they were too sick, and others were cautious in volunteering for fear that any exposure would make them sicker, so it is difficult to see how the results from this study will move the debate forward.
In 2005 the Health Protection Agency (HPA) issued a statement recognizing that some people experience ‘hypersensitivity’, but did not acknowledge that they were being affected by EMR. Only in Sweden and Germany are there retreats designed for people needing to recover from EHS.
In Sweden, EHS has been a recognized disease since 2002, and there is government sponsored support for those who need to live and work in EMR free environments to stay healthy. Olle Johansson, Professor of Neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute, and an expert on the effects of EMFs, was quoted as saying that he estimates “around three percent of the UK population will display hypersensitivity with maybe ten percent to 15% affected in some other way”. (The Guardian, April 10, 2004).
Two years on, and the experts are still trying to draw attention to the need to exercise the precautionary principle with regard to health and safety, as the electrosmog around us grows ever denser.

Symptoms of Electromagnetic High Frequency Illness
Symptoms of Radio Wave Sickness
The original symptoms list below was published in "No Place To Hide" Volume 3, Number 1, April 2001, "Special Issue on Russian and Ukrainian Research" by Arthur Firstenberg, Editor of The Cellular Phone Taskforce.
Neurological:
Headaches, dizziness, nausea, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, irritability, depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, weakness, tremors, muscle spasms, numbness, tingling, altered reflexes, muscle and joint paint, leg/foot pain, "Flu-like" symptoms, fever. More severe reactions can include seizures, paralysis, psychosis and stroke. [Possibly MS as well.]
Cardiac:
Palpitations, arrhythmias, pain or pressure in the chest, low or high blood pressure, slow or fast heart rate, shortness of breath.
Respiratory:
Sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma.
Dermatological:
Skin rash, itching, burning, facial flushing.
Ophthalmologic:
Pain or burning in the eyes, pressure in/behind the eyes, deteriorating vision, floaters, cataracts.
Others:
Digestive problems; abdominal pain; enlarged thyroid, testicular/ovarian pain; dryness of lips, tongue, mouth, eyes; great thirst; dehydration; nosebleeds; internal bleeding; altered sugar metabolism; immune abnormalities; redistribution of metals within the body; hair loss; pain in the teeth; deteriorating fillings; impaired sense of smell; ringing in the ears. [Also leukemia, cancer, Lou Gehrig's Disease....]
Common Sources of Radio Waves
Outdoors:
Broadcast antennas (fixed); broadcast antennas (mobile); radar stations (fixed); radar devices (mobile); television cables; satellites; satellite receiving dishes; satellite sending dishes; cell phones, pagers, two-way radios.
Indoors:
Cordless telephone base units; cordless telephones; wireless computers and their base units; wired computers; televisions; microwave ovens; dimmer switches; security systems; remote controls; fax machines, answering machines, CD players and other digital equipment; (in automobiles) ignition systems; (in theaters) assistive listening systems and devices for the hearing impaired; (in theaters) wireless microphones. [Also variable speed motors, transformers, wireless-broadcasting Palm Pilots, child monitors, some electronic games, high-frequency pest-repelling units, fish finders...]
For many people, the main source of high frequencies is the electrical pollution riding on the 60-cycle current delivered by the electric utility company. RF currents also enter your home via water and gas pipes, phone lines, etc. Once inside, they tend to flow across surfaces, even of things like wooden furniture. Unless you check with a sensitive high-frequency electric field meter, you will not be aware of their presence and they may cause the above symptoms.

Less EMFs in Your Home
Anywhere you find electricity, you find Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMFs). We can run, but we sure can't hide from EMFs. They surround us where ever we are--at our homes, schools, places of employment and even on the streets in our cities and towns.
In recent years, a number of studies have been conducted around this topic, indicting there is a need to be concerned about the health effects when we are constantly being bombarded by a daily bath of EMFs. The best course of action is to stay informed, take reasonable steps to limit your exposure, and continue to do your own homework on the subject so you can make knowledgeble decsions.
REVIEWING DIFFERENT SOURCES OF EMFs:
MAGNETIC:
Commonly found around water towers, above-ground power lines, transformers, computers, low-voltage lighting, a home or building's electrical mast and panel and faulty or outdated wiring
ELECTRIC:
Commonly found emanating from clock radios, laptops and lamps. Anything that is plugged in with a cord can have high electric field readings.
RADIO FREQUENCY:
DECT cordless phones and baby monitors, cellphone towers, Wi-Fi networks
DIRTY ELECTRICITY:
This is electromagnetic radiation riding in your interior home wiring
PLUMBING CURRENT/GROUND CURRENT:
Comes in from outside via the water pipe and ground wires
WHAT CAN I DO?
When preparing to clean up EMFs, target the most frequented rooms in the house such as the bedrooms, home office and family room, and begin to how to reduce their exposure.
Tips to Help Avoid Excess Exposure to EMFs:
Install Graham/Stetzer Filter
In your home to reduce the harmful, dirty electricity being radiated by your home's electrical wiring.
Replace all the Dimmer Switches
In your house with regular switches. Dimmer switches create dirty electricity that can contaminate an entire home's electrical wiring with dangerous high-frequency energy.
Avoid Installing
Low-voltage halogen, fluorescent tubes and energy-efficient compact fluorescent lighting and other energy-efficient devices or appliances that have variable speed drives in them like some furnaces, fans, heaters, front-loading washing machines and so on. Treadmills are also polluters.
When Replacing your Computer Monitor or TV
Buy a new LCD model. They emit much less EMFs radiation.
Clean Up the Electrical Power Cords
And transformers around your computer and desk and reroute them away from your feet and seating area.
Don't have Power Bars
Or power cords near your feet.
Don't Install
A Wi-Fi Wireless Network.
Don't Buy a Cordless Phone
That uses DECT technology because they constantly transmit a strong radiation and electromagnetic fields signal, even when just sitting in the cradle.
Use Cell Phones Sparingly
Limit the time and use a land line whenever possible
Never Use a Laptop on Your Lap
Unplug your laptop from the electrical outlet and operate on the battery when in use or use it with a keyboard.
Get Rid Of
Your clock radio in the bedroom and switch to a battery-operated model.
Don't Buy a Home
Near a cellular phone tower or close to high-voltage power lines.
Have Your Home Surveyed for EMFs
To reduce your EMF exposure at home, consider having an EMF home inspection and consultation.

What are DECT Phones?
DECT PHONES POSE HEALTH RISK
DECT Phones and Wi-Fi pose a significant health risk, especially to children. So what does DECT mean? It refers to Digitally Enhanced Cordless Technologythat has been incorporated into many new cordless phones (and some models of baby monitors) by manufacturers such as Panasonic, GE, Motorola and V-Tech.
These phones have become very popular in the last few years because they are very powerful providing clearer reception. If you've purchased a new 2.4 GHz or 5.8 Ghz cordless phone recently you may very well own a phone that uses new high-powered DECT technology. DECT technology is "always on" and produce a very strong radiation field, similar to that of a cell phone tower -- even when not in use and just sitting idle in the cradle..
FROM EMF SOLUTIONS CANADA:
A cordless phone of DECT standard is often the strongest source of high frequency electromagnetic radiation in a private home. To renounce your cordless phone as a precautionary measure will contribute to minimise your personal radiation exposure. “However, it would be possible for the industry to develop DECT phones which could address the issues of precaution and radiation protection better than the current devices” said Rüdiger Matthes, expert of the Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (Federal Radiation Protection Agency)
Cordless landline telephones of DECT standard have no output control to regulate power output according to the actual power needed. Therefore, the base station and the handset are permanently emitting radiation at the same power level during a call, no matter whether the user holding the handset is one meter or 300 meters away from the base station.
Matthes: “Therefore, we demand that cordless phones should be developed to include a feature of power output control, so that the power output during a call would be adapted to the distance of the handset from the base station, using only the level of power necessary to keep the communication going.”
To secure smooth operation, the base station also continually sends a control signal to the handsets, including when the phone is not in use. According to the BfS, cordless telephones should be devised so that they are emission free on stand by mode. “Luckily, there is a new generation of devices which fulfil just this requirement, and thus help to lower the radiation load in the home.” declared Matthes.
To prevent possible health risks, the BfS recommends minimising personal radiation exposure. The following tips will help you if you are not prepared to completely give up the benefits of a cordless phone: Put the base station in a place where you do not spend much time, for example in the hall. Do not put it directly on your desk. Only make short phone calls. Use the latest generation of phones which are emission free when the handset in connected to the base station.

Stages of Geopathic Stress
Below are the six classifications of Geopathic Stress as identified from the site Safe Your Place
STAGE #1: SUBJECTIVE SENSATIONS
Characterized only by negative feelings and sensations
There are no symptoms yet
STAGE # 2: NEGATIVE EMOTIONS STAGE
Characterized by inhibitions of emotions and sleep disorder
STAGE #3: STRESS HORMONES STAGE
Characterized by the onset of major symptoms
STAGE #4: DIGESTIVE SYSTEM DISORDERS
Characterized by disruption of the digestive system
STAGE #5: BRAIN DAMAGE STAGE
Characterized by learning problems, memory and cognitive function disorders
STAGE #6: IMMUNE SUPPRESSION STAGE
Characterized by immunity breakdown.
Continue on to read specific details of each stage.
SPECIFIC DETAILS FOR EACH STAGE:
STAGE 1: SUBJECTIVE SENSATIONS:
The first stage of Geopathic stress can manifest itself differently from person to person. In some cases, manifestation can occur within a few hours. In other cases, manifestation can take several months to occur.
This stage can be very difficult to recognize. People do not pay much attention to the first manifestation and do not seek professional help. It has no unique pathology of its own, therefore people may not easily recognize it. This is because there are no symptoms in this stage, only negative feelings and sensations.
However, if some people are not recovering from common illnesses at the rate they think they should, then there may be a background of Geopathic Stress within the body. For instance, people may find that they just do not get over something like the flu. The effects hang around for weeks or months. This is the stage where there are no symptoms yet, but the first manifestation of neurotransmitter imbalance already occurs.
Geopathic Stress inhibits neurotransmitters and especially serotonin, which in this state can lead to mood dysfunction and apathy. People usually do not know that those subjective sensations and feelings are Geopathic Stress manifestations. As soon as people avoid Geopathic zones, all adverse manifestations and sensations can be permanently eliminated. If people continue to stay on Earth radiations, it can lead to the second stage of Geopathic Stress.
Some manifestations of the first stage of Geopathic Stress may include: feeling uncomfortable in your bed, favorite chair, or workplace without anyparticular reason; unpleasant sensations;mood disorder; apathy; flabbiness; worry; unreasonable sadness
STAGE 2: NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
In some cases, symptoms can occur within a few days, but normally symptoms take several months to occur. This stage is typically characterized by continued neurotransmitter imbalance which leads to two types of symptoms, sleep disorders and negative emotional effects.
Sleep Disorder:
Constant inhibition of such neurotransmitters as serotonin, GABA, and norepinephrine can lead to insomnia, waking up tired, and restless sleep. Those symptoms can disrupt people’s lifestyle and can lead to other symptoms such as drowsiness, weakness, and dizziness. Also, low levels of neurotransmitters can cause irritability, lack of appetite in the morning, headaches, fatigue, etc. All symptoms are not constant, although people experience them frequently. People don’t go to the doctor immediately. Usually doctors find nothing wrong with the health status and recommend rest, normal sleep, and to avoid stressful situations.
Negative Emotions
Another type of disorder in this stage is negative emotions. Decreases in serotonin, dopamine, or GABA can be the cause of those effects. Negative emotions occur constantly. Feelings of depression, anxiety, helplessness, and impending doom can have great influence on humans. They interact with people’s lifestyles. It affects work relationships, and creates family conflicts. There are significant effects of negative emotions on human’s health. Some researchers believe that the inhibition of expression of specific negative emotions can be tied to specific illnesses. Emotional inhibition might increase the risk of illness because it weakens the body. If a person has a virus or other medical condition, negative emotions can indeed affect the course of the illness, and of recovery. The stage of the emotional relay is the release of hormones, which produce the energy of emotion. As soon as the Geopathic Stress gets to the point where the human body’s hormones get involved, the second stage gradually transitions into Geopathic Stress stage 3.
Stage 2 Symptoms May Include: Sleep disorder, Difficulty falling asleep, Difficult staying asleep, Waking too early, Restless sleep, Waking frequently, Nightmares, Night sweats, Feeling cold or shivering in bed, Impending doom, Drowsiness, Dizziness, Weakness, Headaches, Irritability, Fatigue, Feeling depressed, Anxiety, Lack of appetite in the morning.
STAGE 3: STRESS HORMONE
This stage is when major symptoms occur. In some cases, symptoms can occur within a few months. In other cases, it takes several years to occur. Those symptoms can remain for a long time, but once the cause of the Geopathic threat is avoided, the body function and health conditions usually go back to normal. During months and years, Geopathic Stress gradually and very weakly, but constantly, influences the human body.
At this stage, Geopathic Stress has a negative influence on the body, and serious threats may occur to the physical and mental health. The body starts to actively respond to the natural radiation threat. The human body tries to defend itself and do whatever needs to be done to protect the brain and other organs. When people experience constant intense negative emotions (stage 2) and continual long-term Geopathic Stress influence, the brain responds by initiating 1,400 different responses, including activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) system.
The hypothalamus sends signals to the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic system becomes activated in response to the threat. The sympathetic system is a fast-acting system that allows response to the immediate demand of the situation by activating and increasing arousal. Also, the HPA system triggers the production and release of the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol is very important in the marshaling system throughout the body, including the heart, lungs, circulation, metabolism, and immune system. The HPA system also releases certain neurotransmitters(catecholamines), dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.
Geopathic Stress leads to sexual dysfunction, increases the likelihood of illness, and often the manifestation of skin ailments. Epinephrine (adrenalin) raises the heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and amount of sugar in the blood. Adrenalin and a variety of other psychological mechanisms are needed to combat the stress, and to stay in control. As long as the Geopathic influence is constant, there is a constant release of adrenalin by the adrenal glands. High levels of adrenalin in the blood stream can lead to adrenal dysfunction.
Symptoms may include fatigue and weakness, muscle and bone loss, moodiness or depression, hormone imbalance, and suppression of the immune system. If cortisol stays high for too long, it can be a harmful contributor to hypertension, and emotional problems such as depression. Sustained high cortisol destroys healthy muscle and bones. It also slows down healing and normal cell replacement, impairs digestion, metabolism and mental function, and weakens the immune system. Depression is a well recognized common side effect of cortisol. Cortisol effectively lowers the brain’s serotonin level, which can cause depression.
If Geopathic Stress never shuts off, stress hormones produce feelings of anxiety and helplessness. Over-sensitivity to Geopathic Stress has been linked with severe depression, because depressed people have a harder time adapting to the negative side effects of cortisol. Excessive amounts of cortisol can continue to cause sleep disturbances, loss of sex drive, and lack of interest in sex. Depression and anxiety may contribute to illness in some individuals, but illness also makes some people depressed or anxious. Tense muscles can cause headaches and neck pain. If in this stage, people eliminate Geopathic zones, they will have no further adverse health and emotional conditions.
In short bursts, elevated adrenalin is not damaging or dangerous. In fact, that is what it is designed to do. But when sustained at high levels over a period of time, it can be very harmful. Such long-term over-arousal and excessive flow of this hormone will eventually lead to physiological and psychological distress.
Symptoms of the third stage of Geopathic Stress May Include: Accelerated human heartbeat, Increased breathing rate, Increased blood sugar, Hypertension, Depression,
Muscle cramps tension, pain, Numbness in arms/legs, Tingling in arms/legs, Neck pain,
Anxiety, Loss of sex drive, Lack of interest in sex, Helplessness,Temporary impotence, Migraine headaches
Sexual and Reproductive Dysfunction
Sexual Function: Stress can lead to diminished sexual desire and an inability to achieve orgasm in women. Stress response can also cause temporary impotence in men. Part of the stress response involves the release of brain chemicals that constrict the smooth muscles of the penis and its arteries. This constriction reduces the blood flow into and increases the blood flow out of the penis, which can prevent erection.
Premenstrual Syndrome: Some studies indicate that the stress response in women with premenstrual syndrome may be more intense than in those without the syndrome.
Fertility: Stress may even affect fertility. Stress hormones have an impact on the hypothalamus gland, which produces reproductive hormones. Severely elevated cortisol levels can even shut down menstruation. One interesting small study reported a significantly higher incidence of pregnancy loss in women who experienced both high stress and prolonged menstrual cycles. Another reported that women with stressful jobs had shorter periods than women with low-stress jobs
STAGE 4: DIGESTIVE SYSTEM DISORDER
It takes one to three years for symptoms to occur in this stage. If Geopathic Stress is not overcome, physical changes in response to natural threats are an essential adaptation for meeting negative effects.
The human organism tries to adapt to Geopathic Stress by producing and activating more hormones, increasing blood pressure, and increasing blood sugar level to sustain energy. The result of the adaptation process is in the consumption of the body’s energy reserves.
Geopathic Stress constantly influences the human body, gradually weakening the organism, upsetting homeostasis and internal organs, leaving humans vulnerable to diseases. Geopathic zones have effects on all parts of the body, including the digestive system. Diseases of the stomach and intestines are often linked to Geopathic Stress because the blood has to leave these organs and move to muscles. Prolonged Geopathic Stress can disrupt the digestive system, irritating the large intestine and causing diarrhea, constipation, cramping, and bloating. It’s common to have a stomach ache. This happens because stress hormones slow the release of stomach acid and the emptying of the stomach.
The same hormones also stimulate the colon, which speeds the passage of its contents. Geopathic Stress may predispose someone to ulcers or sustain existing ulcers. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (spastic colon) is strongly related to Geopathic Stress. With this condition, the large intestine becomes irritated, and its muscular contractions are spastic rather than smooth and wave-like. The abdomen is bloated and the patient experiences cramping and alternating periods of constipation and diarrhea. This hormone can increase appetite and cause weight gain.
To reiterate, chronically elevated cortisol levels contribute to the accumulation of abdominal fat, and make it very difficult to counteract tension and therefore gain weight. Weight gain can occur even with a healthy diet in people exposed to Geopathic Stress. The release of cortisol appears to promote abnormal fat, and may be the primary connection between Geopathic Stress and weight gain in such people.
In rare cases, Geopathic Stress may trigger hyperactivity of the thyroid gland. This stimulates appetite but causes the body to burn up calories at a faster rate. Therefore, people lose weight. Stress-induced hormones help the human body provide energy to get through the situation. Cortisol and DHEA work as a team to get people through prolonged Geopathic Stress’ effects. DHEA is the most abundant hormone in the bloodstream. It seems to balance the effects of cortisol by improving the body’s ability to cope with Geopathic Stress. DHEA also provides the course material for the production of many other hormones including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Clinical studies suggest that DHEA can boost energy levels and reduce body fat. But when the adrenals are chronically overworked and straining to maintain high cortisol levels, they lose the capacity to produce DHEA in sufficient amounts. Insufficient DHEA contributes to fatigue, bone loss, loss of muscle mass, decreased sex drive, and impaired immune function.
The adrenal glands get overburdened and worn out. This can have serious effects on the human organism. This can lead to many health and mental problems, including memory impairment, lack of energy, heart and vessel diseases, depression, immune system suppression, and even increased susceptibility to stroke and cancer.
Symptoms of the fourth stage of Geopathic Stress May Appear as: Poor digestion, Diarrhea,
Constipation , Colon Irritation , Ulcer , Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Obesity.
STAGE 5: BRAIN DAMAGE
In this stage, symptoms can occur within 3-5 years. The body has run out of its reserve of body energy and immunity. Mental, physical and emotional resources suffer heavily. Instead of shutting off once the crisis is over, the process continues, with they hypothalamus continuing to signal the adrenals to produce cortisol.
This increased cortisol production exhausts the stress mechanism, leading to chronic fatigue and anxiety. Cortisol also interferes with serotonin activity, furthering the depressive effect. Prolonged high cortisol levels lead to high blood sugar that may develop into diabetes.
Diabetes disrupts the body’s mechanism for moving glucose out of the bloodstream and using it in cells. As a result, levels of blood glucose stay excessively high, leading to serious complications over time. The adrenals become depleted, leading to decreased Geopathic Stress tolerance, progressive mental and physical exhaustion, illness and collapse. This stage is where the depletion is so high that the people lose the ability to adapt to the adverse influences.
The human organism has exhausted its energy reserves trying to contain the Geopathic Stress, and starts to self-destroy. As soon as the Geopathic Stress reaches the exhaustion point, it starts to effect the major organs and systems in the human body. Damaged functions include the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, kidney, muscles, and joints, and more importantly the immune system. The immune system remains significantly suppressed and individuals become more susceptible to infections, both minor and major. Also, it is typical in this stage to have a lack of energy. Very often a person in middle age will think that this is a sign of premature aging, but examining the problem in more depth, it is likely the person has lived with Geopathic Stress for a long time.
A few years’ overreaction to Geopathic Stress overloads the brain with powerful hormones that are intended only for short-term duty in emergency situations. The cumulative effect is damage and death of brain cells. Geopathic Stress in this stage has significant effect on the human brain.
Catecholamines suppress activity in areas at the front of the brain concerned with memory, concentration, inhibition, and rational thought. Stress hormones divert blood glucose from the brain, and energy to the hippocampus is diminished. This compromises the memory and cognitive function that affect learning ability.
The typical victim of long-term Geopathic Stress complains of the following: loss of concentration at work and at home, learning problems, inappropriate responses to major changes in life situations, inability to sit for very long, behavior problems, aggression, problems staying calm, insecurity, self-confidence problems, panic attacks, and emotional problems (anxieties, depression, and exhaustion).
Symptoms of the fifth stage of Geopathic Stress may include:Diabetes, Inability to heal, Panic Attacks, Difficulty concentrating, Learning problems, Behavior problems, Aggression, Memory problems, Lack of interest in doing something, Decision-making problems, Inadequate responses to major changes in life situations, ADD and Chronic Fatigue
STAGE 6: IMMUNE SUPPRESSION
In this stage, symptoms can occur within 5 or more years. This stage is associated with a high risk for serious cardiac events and complete suppression of the immune system. Stress hormones that act on the heart, blood vessels, and lungs may contribute to heart diseases, high blood pressure, and asthma.
Recent research has made it very clear that hyper-arousal of the adrenal system is the essential causative factor in coronary and arterial diseases. The chronic increased flow of adrenalin and cortisol and sympathetic nervous system activities may negatively affect the heart in several ways:
Increases the pumping action and heart rate and causes the arteries to constrict, thereby posing a risk for blocking blood flow the heart.
Emotional effects during Geopathic Stress alter the heart rhythms and pose a risk for serious arrhythmias in people with existing heart rhythm disturbances.
Causes blood to become stricter increasing the likelihood of artery-clogging blood clots.
An increase in the production of blood cholesterol
A decrease in the body’s ability to remove cholesterol
Causes people who have relatively low levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin to produce more of certain immune proteins (called cytokines), which in high amounts causes inflammation and damage to cells, including possibly heart cells
Cortisol levels also appear to play a role in the accumulation of abdominal fat, which gives people an “apple” shape. People with apple body shapes have a higher risk of heart diseases than do people with “pear” body shapes, where weight is more concentrated in the hips. These effects can lead to great risk factors for heart attack, heart rhythm abnormalities and stroke.
Continually high cortisol levels lead to suppression of the immune system through increased production of interleukin-6, an immune system messenger. Research’s findings indicate that prolonged Geopathic Stress and depression have a negative effect on the immune system. Also, adrenal exhaustion which occurs in this stage involves a depletion of energy reserves and loss of resilience.
The body’s energy reserves are exhausted, and resistance to the Geopathic Stress may gradually reduce, or may collapse quickly. This means the immune system and the body’s ability to resist diseases may be almost totally eliminated. The body runs out of the immunity to fight disease, and breakdown will occur. Thereby reduced immunity makes the body mores susceptible to everything from cold and flu to cancer. Geopathic Stress appears to blunt the immune response and increases the risk of infection.
A number of studies have shown that subjects under Geopathic Stress have low white blood cell counts and are vulnerable to infections and disease. Long-term exposure to Geopathic zones can cause bronchial asthma. There is a release of certain chemical substances (histamine, and acethylcholine) within the lung tissue which in turn cause the bronchial muscle to spasm, increased bronchial secretions, and swelling of the bronchial tubes.
Rheumatoid arthritis also can be caused by an aberration of the body’s immune defense mechanism, possibly overactive B cells or defective regulation by T cells. Geopathic Stress has been implicated in increasing the risk for periodontal disease, which is disease in the gums that can cause tooth loss. This stage of Geopathic Stress can worsen many skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, hives and acne.
Thereby all those diseases are connected to the immune suppression process, which very often can lead people to die from such diseases as cancer, pneumonia, coronary disease, or infection. The death does not come from Geopathic Stress itself. The human organism loses all its resistance in its effort to ward off the prolonged Geaopathic Stress
Symptoms of the Sixth stage of Geopathic Stress may include: Cardiovascular diseases, Heart attack, Arthritis , Kidney disorders, Allergies, Skin diseases, Bronchial asthma, Stroke, and Infertility and miscarriages

Great Crystal Resource
There are times when one is doing clearing work of Geopathic Stress that it would be beneficial to have an assortment of crystals available for possible inclusion in the remediation process. Here is an on-line resource I use for purchasing some of my crystals. I do not have any affiliation with this source but find them to be outstanding.
Name: Orgone Crystals
I came across Orgone Crystals when looking for some double terminated quartz crystals for a project I was working on. This site seemed to good to be true, having what I needed at very reasonable prices. I put my order in, then waited and waited and waited. "Uh Oh! I should have listened to my intuition when I thought--too good to be true." What was the problem here? Well, to make a long story extremely short, they had moved locations and in the process had lost my order.
I spoke with the owner Dennis Griffin on the phone. He was a very upbeat, pleasant sounding man, who I thought I could imagine sitting across from me at the kitchen table, having a cup of coffee, talking energy work. Dennis explained that he had recently moved and apologised for the delayed shipment. He took my information again and said he would throw in a few extras.
When the package arrived, I was so glad things happened as they did. I felt like a kid in a candy store, not knowing which crystals to work with first. I can remember my husband and I needed to go out and I didn't want to leave my box, so I took it along with me, examining each crystal, intrigued and surprised by the many wonderful gifts I held in my hands. To this day I still am in awe by the quality of crystals that arrived.
I ordered the Sampler Box which is a goldmine value. Since then, I have ordered this particular item several times, always thrilled about what arrives. I have also ordered other items, but this one is still my absolute favorite. Whether doing clearing work, or just simply working with crystals in whatever fashion appeals to you, this is an great opportunity to explore.

EMFs Radiation
In addition to living in a sea of carcinogens and inheriting oncogens, we have made matters worse by the indiscriminate use of gadgets offered to us by the boom in technology, thus making ourselves vulnerable to the increasing incidence of cancer and other diseases. Various Electromagnetic Frequencies pervading our environment are found to cause disease and promote latent diseases and cancer.Dr. Abraham Liboff of Oakland University found that 'mitosis', a continuous process of cell division and reproduction, was speeded up when cells were exposed to a magnetic field. Several researchers have raised the possibility that low level exposures to EMFs may be altering the genetic process and causing abnormal cell growth and disturbance in Melatonin Metabolism.
EMFs, coupled with other environmental agents, produce adverse effects on atoms and cells in metabolism and biological systems. With the help of modern equipment we can identify the various radiations existing in the environment, their source, intensity and direction. It is worthwhile harmonizing the man-made environment, abiding by the law of nature in accordance with the human system response, finding a natural rhythm for the system and achieving resistance to various hazards.
The Indian Vastu Shastra have probed the subtle effects of the natural and man-made environment on the subtle and complex human energy system. It is therefore a bridge between the man made environment and the human energy system.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
Here is the ranking of the worst hazards by Louis Slesin, editor, Microwave News, from the information collected by him about extremely low frequency fields and the dangers they may pose.
1. HIGH TENSION ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION LINES
Strung along high towers, these lines carry large amounts of electricity over great distances. Homes, schools and playgrounds should not be built anywhere near them.
2. ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION LINES
The kind that carry current down local streets, they generate fields less powerful than those from transmission lines. But distribution wires are much closer to most homes.
3. ELECTRIC BLANKETS
They lie on top of the body for hours at a time. It's a good idea to warm the bed and then unplug the blanket before going to sleep or, better still, get a duvet instead.
4. VIDEO DISPLAY TERMINALS
People spend whole weekdays close to computer screens. They should stay 75 cm. (30 in) from the front and 90 cm. (3 ft.) from the sides and the back. The same rules apply for TV's.
5. BEDSIDE APPLIANCES
Electric clocks and fans run continuously. They should be kept at least 75 cm (30 in) from the head.
6. OTHER APPLIANCES
Shavers, hair dryers, can-openers and microwave ovens, all generate powerful fields, and people should be careful to use them for only short periods of time.
So we see that EMFs may cause some serious health hazards like disturbance of normal sleep leading to faster ageing, cofactors in promoting cancer, low melatonin levels children's brains, leading to death, etc.
In pursuit of material comfort in spite of the knowledge of the harmful effects of EMFs, usage of gazettes goes on increasing. Nevertheless one has to use them cautiously and judiciously because we are not only harming ourselves but also the coming generations by promoting an atmosphere with high ambient Electromagnetic Frequencies and changes which will prevail in our genome in due course of time.
Mankind should never forget the age-old proverb - "Prevention is better than Cure".

What is Geobiology?
GEOBIOLOGY IS...
The science and study of natural and man-made earth energies. These include Hartmann Gid Lines, geopathic Stress and other interference lines invisible to the eye such as radio, infrared and microwaves, that are harmful to soils, air quality, water quality, plant, animal and human life. As in the mining and oil drilling industries, these energies are located by dowsing professionals and geobiologists, who can pin point the desired location with a 90% accuracy or higher. Equipment testing has a 65%or less accuracy rating. .
In addition to locating harmful energy lines that effect health, mental well being, crime rates, business growth as well as environmental concerns, professional geobiologists block the energies flowing through a land site or building. The blocking method is used for businesses and residences. Several countries require by low the locating and blocking of these lines prior to construction of a municipal building, school or hospital to safeguard the health and welfare of the individuals who work or reside there.
In addition, geobiologists use Geobiologic Environmental Harmonizer devices to improve soils, water quality, air quality, as well as the health and well being of those who reside or work in the area in which the harmonizer is installed. Plant life flourishes and destructive or harmful insect populations are reduced. Once installed the geobiologic devices operate continually without maintenance. They operate without electricity and only need replacing if upgrading to a larger size to cover a larger radial area.
Geopathic Stress Remediation May Include:
Diverting harmful energies with copper staples
Installing an energy enveloper, geobiologic harmonizer or geobiologic harmonizing rings
Benefits Often Seen:
Supporting environmental clearing on a broad scale, including indoor air pollution
Improves water quality
Improves sound quality, reduces noise pollution
Neutralizes odors
Reduces EMF pollution
Promotes enhanced growth of plants, trees and crops
Controls damaging insects without sprays
Attracts and supports beneficial insects
Harmonizes the entire body energy system while drawing negative harmonics out of the body
Enhances relaxation, feeling of peace and well being
Reduces effects of computer radiation and stress on the body
Reduces jet lag
Neutralized tendency for violence and theft
Shown to decrease crime in area covered by 30 % or more
Shown to increase financial growth in businesses
Shown to divert violent storm fronts and eliminate drought conditions
The rings improves the taste of foods, beverages and wine while reducing side effects
The ring can be use to “potentize” water making ti useful for detox applications
The rings used on gas tanks has shown to increase gas mileage

Gauss Meter: What is That Thing?
GAUSS METER
Electromagnetic fields (EMF's) are all around us. They exist in the power transmission and distribution lines outside our homes and throughout the household wiring in the house. In addition, EMFs are produced by the use of electronic devices found in the home, such as appliances, computers, televisions, electric blankets and clock radios.
Electrical and magnetic fields are invisible lines of force surrounding any electrical device. They are the result of sending alternating current (AC) through wires and appliances. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reviewed 50 epidemiological studies and hundreds of biological studies and acknowledge that low level electromagnetic fields may increase the risk of cancer. A general recommendation is "prudent avoidance" of exposures above 2-3 milliGauss. An EMF detection meter can help you to determine safe distances form electrical devices and wiring and what "hot spots" around your home should be avoided.
What Exactly is a Gauss Meter?
EMF Detectors are also known as Gauss meters. These meters measure Electro-Magnetic Fields. The meters are used to detect the presence of electro-magnetic energy in the atmosphere.
These meters are utilized to measure the levels of a variety of emissions from a variety of items in a given area. Using a Gauss Meter at regular intervals can help ensure that no emission levels are going over levels that are considered dangerous.
They can also give you and idea of which devices the emissions are coming from and whether they are particularly concentrated around specific devices. They can also help you to decide whether you should take steps to lower the emission levels of the device you are monitoring if the emissions you are measuring are health hazards.
The Gauss Meters will allow you to determine where the fields are strongest so that you can make an effort to avoid them if you are incapable of reducing them. They also can help you to determine where to distribute protection products to ensure that the electromagnetic emissions are decreased to the lowest possible level.
Check out the house or property you want to investigate by walking through the entire building with your Gauss meter and take readings. Walk through several times to ensure a good, accurate reading is received. Make notes of where electrical wiring and appliance are located.
What Are Some of the Uses of a Gauss Meter?
Move furniture away from hot spots and avoid exposure to EMF
Purchase Cellular phones that have low emissions
Purchase appliances and autos that have low emissions
Purchase homes that are not in high EMF areas near power lines
Show children a safe distance form the TV
Purchase computer monitors that are not high in radiation
Check to see if your microwave is leaking
Reduce computer freezes/crashes by placing it away from high spots
Detect if car engine is skipping a cylinder (which uses excess gas)
Detect if someone is using your WiFi connection (could steal your info)
Improve WiFi reception in your home by finding best places to locate unit
Detect plumbing at home that is carrying current due to improper wiring
Detect improper wiring at home (reduce risk of electrocution, fire, shorts)
Cancer patients and parents can avoid electromagnetic fields at home and work
Conduct EMF surveys for home owners
Help home purchasers avoid homes high in EMF
Find metal objects in the beach (treasure hunter)
Detect computer drives which will fail (EMF noisy drives)
An Affordable Gauss Meter
Dr. Gauss is an accurate, easy-to-use, and affordable Gaussmeter developed to allow you to perform your own EMF survey. It detects and measures EMFs (electromagnetic fields) produced by electrical currents found in and around the home, at school, in the workplace and other electrical transmission areas. It is especially important to check for EMF emissions in and around areas and electrical devices that you and your family are exposed to regularly
The Dr. Gauss meter, is a moderately-priced, hand-held EMF detector, costing around $35. This little meter measures the level of ELF magnetic field radiation from power lines, computers, kitchen appliances, and more! The easy to read scale, unique built-in audio signal and auto shut off make it simple to use and a great way to find hidden sources of ELF frequency magnetic fields.
Most experts agree that chronic exposure to more than 2.5 milli-Gauss is inadvisable. This meter will show you which areas are above or below 2.5 milli-Gauss in the 50 - 60 Hz frequency range.
Hand-held, lightweight and durable, with two easy to read scales (0-1 mG, & 0-10 mG), and dramatic audio signal. Our favorite meter for demonstrating the presence of dangerous EMFs to others and paranormal work. Requires one 9V battery (not included). Calibrated at 50-60 Hz.

Geopathic Stress Tutorial 15: AC vs DC
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE: AC vs DC?
- Appliances that operate either with batteries or by plugging into the household wiring usually come equipped with an AC/DC switch.
- If switched to AC, the appliance uses electric power that flows back and forth or "alternates" at a (U.S.) rate of 60 cycles per second (60 hertz, or Hz).
- If DC ("direct current") is chosen, current flows one way from the batteries to the appliance.
- AC fields induce weak electric currents in conducting objects, including humans
- DC fields do not, unless the DC field changes in space or time relative to the person in the field.
- In most practical situations, a battery-operated appliance is unlikely to induce electric current in the person using the appliance.
- Induced currents from AC fields have been a focus for research on how EMFs could affect human health.
And here is the rest of it.

Geopathic Stress Tutorial 13
BENEFITS NOTICED AFTER A SPACE CLEARING:
IS YOUR HOME MAKING YOU SICK?
ENERGETIC STRESSES, like the ones listed below, can trigger an existing condition but does not generally cause an illness. If you are ill, feeling, discomfort or know that something is not right, a space clearing will generally bring relief and allow your body to heal. When a space clearing is done in conjunction with professional medical care you are more likely to return to a state of health.
Distortions can individually cause problems, but when one or more are combined with other distortions can cause unpleasant physical and emotional problems for people that live, work or play in the area. . And here is the rest of it.

Tools and Techniques: Bovis Scale
BOVIS SCALE OR BIO METER
When doing geopathic stress clearing work it is important to have a toolbox of techniques and tools that can assist you in the process. Here we are going to discuss one very important, yet easy to use tool called the Bovis Scale
WHAT IS THE BOVIS SCALE OR BIO METER?
It is a Life Force Index named after a French physicist Antoine Bovis, created it in the 1930's while scale doing research among the Great Pyramids of Egypt. This scale measures "Natural Earth Energy", ranges from zero to infinity.
WHAT DOES THE BOVIS SCALE DO?
The Bovis Scale quantifies or measures how positively or negatively charged a substance is. For living organisms, the key reference point on the scale is found at 6,500 Bovis energy units.
WHAT ARE THE BOVIS SCALE READINGS?
READINGS BETWEEN: 0 to 6,500 BOVIS:
The charge is in the NEGATIVE range, or life-detracting
READINGS ABOVE 6,500 BOVIS:
The energy gradually becomes more POSITIVE, or life-enhancing
DESIRED MINIMAL ENERGY LEVEL FOR HUMANS
Is found between 8,000 to 10,000 Bovis, or slightly positive
THE EARTH
Creates energy in the 7,000 to 18,000 range This energy is also referred to as "Biophotons", which are light particles invisible to our eyes. This positive energy is necessary to the maintenance on Earth
THE IMPORTANCE OF SPIN:
Scientists have discovered a direct correlation between the Bovis scale and the direction of spin displayed by an atom or molecule. Atoms registering in the negative Bovis range will spin to the right, or clockwise. Atoms in the positive Bovis range spin, to the left, or counterclockwise. Examples found in nature of this spin properly include cellular DNA, which is a left-turning spiral: in contrast, cancer cells are in a right-turning spiral.
SOME MORE BOVIS SCALE VALUES: Source
8500: Is person’s top, completely recharge
7500: Person in good health
6500: A tired person
6000: Very tired person, it is final limit, and under this point you are sick
Between 8500 and 9000 : A person is able to heal people using their hands
Above 9000: Able to tap into psychic abitity, medium power
Above 10 000: The good Cosmo -telluric place are often
6500 BOVIS: Human Being
6500 to 16000 BOVIS: Chakras
11000 BOVIS : Church Bell
14000 BOVIS : Tibetan Temple
1000000 BOVIS: Swastika (Any Size)
Note: Reminder, if you are determining a Bovis Scale Reading on another individual, first ask them for permission.
DOWNLOAD THE EXPANDED BOVIS METER SCALE CHART:
This is the Bovis Meter Chart that Scott and I use when we are doing energy clearing. To use simply dowse with a pendulum. We take a general reading of the property or location before beginning the work and then once the work is done. Specific areas can be done as well. For example, inside of a home, each room can have its own reading. You can also go back into the history of a particular location. For example: Show me the Bovis Reading for this property, state the specific location, in the year XXXX.
Recently when working with a home owner, I was trying to determine the time frame from which the property was showing low Bovis Readings. I started at the year 1900 and received a positive reading. For whatever reason, I then jumped to 1960 and barely was able to get a response, the value coming in at less then 1000 Bovis. As I was questioning the homeowner, it came out that the property behind her home, a farm, was identified as a Superfund Site, around 1960. This is a very simple example showing how information can be pinponted more specifically.

Geopathic Stress Tutorial 11
- Are naturally occurring, beneficial electromagnetic waves
- Oscillate between the Earth and certain layers of the atmosphere
- First identified in 1952 by Professor W.O. Schumann, a German scientist
- Are very long waves of extremely, low frequency
- Are present everywhere in the atmosphere on this planet
- Waves have similar frequency as brain waves and follow a similar daily pattern
- It has been suggested that these waves help regulate the body's internal clock, thus affecting sleep patterns, hormonal secretions, the menstrual cycle in women and so on
More information on Schumann Waves here.

Geopathic Stress Tutorial 10
- Defined as underground water veins or streams that give off noxious radiations
- Can be harmful to life above them
- Can be conceptualized as earth meridians whose flow has become stagnant or polluted, giving rise to Negative Energy
- Harmful radiation rises in a vertical plane from the underground stream to the earth's surface
- Have been dowsed to be anywhere from 1 ft to 900ft deep and from 1ft to 300ft wide
- The two edge lines and the center line dowse as the strongest, sharpest potentially most dangerous places on the stream for habitual exposure
- Have been known to change their habitual course, especially after earthquakes and droughts
- Are known to be stronger at midday, mid-summer, full moon, and during periods of heightened solar flare (sunspot) activity
- Have been dowsed as inactive in the Canadian tundra during the frozen winter
- Are also known to be associated with higher levels of ionising radiation, lightning strikes and other atmospheric phenomena
And here is the rest of it.
