How to cope with electro hypersensitivity cont.

 

 

 

 

Telephones
• Regarding cell phones - they have been cited as the third cause of electro hypersensitivity. One of the most important precautions is to use these phones with a hands-free kit. It is also important to have short conversations especially when the reception is bad. Move the cell from one ear to the other and do not talk while walking.
• Choose a phone with the least electro magnetic field.
• Avoid the use of cordless phones.
• Don’t buy a cell phone for children under 10 years old.
• Avoid using your cell phone while driving in your car, because the exposure to the waves is amplified by many times.
• You can use an anti-radiation headphone, because the hands-free use of the cell phone, also emits electro magnetic waves.

Cars
• While in the car, avoid being too close to the sound system especially when pregnant, because it emits significant magnetic fields. This is the same for air conditioners and heaters inside the car.

Home
• Measure the electromagnetic fields in your house and at work.
• It is preferable to live more than 150 metres from a high voltage power lines, and more than 13 km from a cell tower.

Experts advise that while sleeping, there should be no electronic appliances in the bedroom as you are more susceptible to electromagnetic waves while you sleep. It is important to adopt certain precautions, such as:
• The cell and cordless phone (including the base) must be kept away from the bed
• A switch that could be used to turn off all the power to the bedroom.
• Do not use a clock-radio near the bed. Use one that is battery powered.
• Avoid halogen lamps because the transformer is continually under electrical tension.
• Avoid certain electrical heating appliances.
• A bed without metallic parts is preferable. Remove metallic equipment which are located near your bed. Such as metallic lamps, tables, etc.
• If you live in an apartment, avoid placing your head along the wall which is common with your neighbours. Electronic equipment could be placed along the wall in the neighbouring apartment.
