I'm very sorry if it's not entirely clear in the above post (#60), but only part of that long winded text is mine from a private e-mail. I guess the use of quotation marks in the proper places is difficult when one is drinking.

Maybe they should look into an inductive charging system embedded in a mattress pad.

I think you can probably file that patent with the American Cancer Society. I'm not a huge EMF freak but I would prefer to reduce the amount of EMF versus sleeping on it! LOL

Soooooo, you don't know what an anti-semite is then, huh? Nothing in either of those posts suggest anything like that. Please just STOP with all of this.

The anti-Semitic stuff was in a different thread. I believe Mr. Tuttle called me a "whiny Jew, " or something like that. He sounds like a wonderful guy.

Since when is fruitcake either homophobic or racist? Now I guess Jimmy Buffet is homophobic

Thanks for clearing that up. I looked through this thread a couple times and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. That's terrible that he said that

Not sure about other areas, but where I live, and really moreso when I was growing up, the term was used more to describe someone as crazy.

Yes, but he also thinks the Illuminati run government is controlling the weather. Most everyone else has figured out it’s not worth trying to engage his paranoid delusions.

Yes, I'm aware of the EMF controversy. One opinion yells that we should be wearing tin helmets (or wrap ourselves in tin), while the more scientific side speaks about ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Of course, I'm on the latter side of the discussion, but there are some experiments indicating that radiation well below the ionizing threshold can tinker with cell activity. To my knowledge none of these experiments prove anything long term bad happens, only that there is a detectable reaction.

Fortunately, our DNA coding is quite robust. If one wants to avoid as much radiation as possible, give up the modern life, retreat to a deep cave that contains no radioactive isotopes -- and stay out of the sun. Even then, there will be that random particle blasting in from outer space that could wreck your plan.

A carefully chosen Mercury mine (mercury is denser than lead and blocks more radiation) would be a good choice of venue. I say "carefully chosen" because Mercury is often found along with isotopes that would not be great to live with. Plus, you would not want any free liquid Mercury to be mixed with the environment. At room temperature the vapor pressure of Mercury is very low. While one should naturally avoid Mercury vapor, there will be less Mercury vapor at room temperature than noxious gases given off by our beautiful plastics. Adequate fresh air ventilation will deal with this.

My aluminum foil hat seems to be working, other than the fact that I can't hear what's being said on the phone.

The funny thing is that I never mentioned any religious affiliation. He just seems to always assume things.

I agree that trying to stay away from various forms of radiation is impossible. I find it funny when clients demand reducing WiFi radiation but live in a city that has a public WiFi system. Huh?

Our DNA is robust but they are finding that environmental toxins (chemicals, GMO's, heavy metals, and shit foods) are causing our epigenetics to switch genes on/off and those damaged genes are being passed onto our kids. Who then are having an increased likelihood of auto-immunity, ADHD, autism, cancer, etc, etc, etc. I'm not saying that exposure to EMF causes our DNA to change how it interacts with our cells but I just don't think we know for sure if it's not. From an evolutionary standpoint, it's been only a fraction of time we've been introduced to this amount of EMF.

Plus as I've said, I feel like I have PTSD regarding notifications. When you provide service to clients for AV systems you get a lot of people who can reach you at a moments notice and that creates a stress that is hard to quantify. That's why I like shutting the crap off at night.

Many years ago, I worked for a computer repair company. A woman we we're working with was all worried about the levels of radiation she was being exposed to. So the boss decided we should go prove to here she was safe. We walked her house while the boss metered house, with an analog voltage meter, and an electric turkey thermometer. He held his hand around the end of the cord and up to the meter. He waved the thermometer around and showed her how the needle on the meter didn't move. She was satisfied after that :-D
