What is electromagnetic stress?
Our exposure to electricity has increased by a phenomenal amount. Our houses are increasingly filled with gadgetry, time saving devices, lighting, TVs and stereos. At work most of us spend the majority of the day on a computer and surrounded by electrical machines. All these electrical appliances give off electrical fields. Electromagnetic fields are always vibrating; they spread out into space indefinitely and carry alternating electric and magnetic vibrations. Electricity has become such a central part of our lives that it is hard to question its unseen effects. Yet evidence of its potential danger to health is continually accumulating, and can no longer be disregarded. Electromagnetic stress affects the immune system, cell growth and tumour formation, foetal development, the central nervous system and the brain.
Symptoms and effects of electromagnetic stress
Exposure to electrical fields has been linked to many conditions including childhood leukaemia. More people are experiencing adverse effects from this exposure and are reporting a wide range of symptoms that are connected to it. Symptoms vary considerably from a feeling of lethargy, lack of concentration and fatigue, particularly when using the computer, to much more severe reactions. These may include immune system dysfunction, psychological problems, inability to concentrate, increased anxiety, depression, insomnia and memory loss, dizziness, breathlessness and high blood pressure.
The Wireless Age and electrosmog
Wireless technology gets rid of unsightly wires but at what cost to the humans who use it? With all these new wireless improvements, there is a huge increase in electrosmog. (We have noticed a steady increase in customers complaining of the highly charged atmosphere in their work- place making them agitated and causing absence from work.) Research into Wi-Fi in schools is causing considerable concern to informed parents. The A-COMED and the Digital Radio Frequency Analyzer will help to find the hot spots in the office, the school, your home or on the street.
Effects of pulsed microwaves
The health effects of pulsed microwaves such as those around mobile phone base stations and Tetra masts include sleep disruption, nosebleeds, headaches, migraines, lethargy, increased blood pressure, skin problems, the triggering of epileptic attacks and electrical hypersensitivity. The A-COMED is sensitive to signals as low as 0.01 V/m and detects the pulsing from sources operating in the range from 50MHz to well over 3000MHz (3GHz).
Geopathic stress
In addition to the complex electrical environment in which we now live, geopathic stress is also an important factor to be considered. Geopathic stress is the detrimental effect of some earth energies on the immune system. The earth behaves like a huge electromagnet with a large number of geo-electromagnetic field lines crossing its surface and rising up through the earth. This natural radiation can be distorted by other electromagnetic fields, subterranean running water, certain mineral concentrations, fault lines, underground cavities, cosmic radiation and artificially created electromagnetic fields. It is important to remember that geopathic stress is not measurable using a meter. Dowsing is the recognised method of determining geopathic stress.
Measuring and reducing exposure
Measuring the fields in your living space could quite literally save your life. How many people are truly aware of the fields coming from, for example, a DECT phone? Though it is not possible to avoid electrosmog, if you know where the fields are highest there is a lot you can do to reduce exposure for yourself and your family. Using an EMF meter allows you to move beds and furniture to places where the fields are safer. The A-COMED or the Radio Frequency Analyzer may alarm you or may confirm that the fields in your living space are safe. It is only when you know where the danger spots are that you can take control of your level of exposure. To reduce exposure avoid using electrical gadgets close to the body - hair dryers and electric blankets give off high electrical fields. Move electric clocks and radios to at least a metre from your head and baby alarms to at least one metre from the infant; sit as far away from the TV or VDU as possible; change your DECT phone for an analogue phone and reduce the use of your mobile phone remembering that microwave fields are magnified when you are sitting in your car or in a railway carriage.

Products offered for electromagnetic stress and microwave exposure
We offer a selection of products to help protect from the effects of electromagnetic and geopathic stress and electrosmog. These include products to help protect you while working on a computer, while using a mobile phone, shielding material to block microwaves from external sources, the Bio-Protective products for specific radiation (Wi-Fi, Sat Nav) and the Energetic Vitalisers for whole house protection from electrical and geopathic stress.
The products we offer will not alter the readings of the meters. This is because the fields are still present but their harmful effects are compensated for. The Daylight Shielding material will block microwaves and this will be evident when using the electrosmog detectors. There are no meters available to measure geopathic stress.
