You may also want to check to see if you have heavy metal toxicity. Once I

lowered my heavy metals body burden my electrical sensitivity improved greatly.

Hi Rixta,

I would say that if you have had CFS for 16 years it is very likely that you

could develop electrosensitivity, as they very often go together (likewise

with multiple chemical sensitivity). And, as you say, you will probably be

the only person in the environment who's sick.

However there are different types of electromagnetic fields, and different

people react to a different extent to each one - electric fields from wires

in walls or high voltage lines outside, magnetic fields from relays/phone

receivers etc, microwave radiation from masts outside or cordless and mobile

phones inside, and EM frequencies from fluorescent and low energy lights.

For microwave radiation, a simple and cheap meter, the Electrosmog Detector,

gives an indication if there are any " hot spots " , but it may not be

available in Oz. It does show however where localised shielding (e.g. with

metallised gauze) would be particularly useful.

Some basic suggestions which you can try to reduce the effects quickly:

- Avoid cordless and mobile phones, switch off cordless phone base stations,

use standard wired phones.

- Switch off any wireless networks in the house, use wired connections and

modems instead.

- Try replacing fluorescent and low-energy bulbs by old-fashioned

incandescent ones (if still available)

- See if it's possible to switch the house electric power off at night.

Certainly these can be inconvenient to you and your family, but they are

worth trying. Lots of ES people find all these measures help significantly.

It then makes the task of protection and shielding easier.

Lots of similar information in the archives of this group, but that should

get you started..

Hello everyone,

I joined this group a few days ago, because you must start somewhere getting

information and groups like this are usually very useful.

Brief story: I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since 16 years and my condition

was always stable, but since we moved into our new house four years ago my

own research and realized that the high voltage wires that are all around

our house *could* be the cause of my problems. But I don't know that for

sure.

So to start with I would like some tips how to find out if it's really the

electricity that makes me sick. I don't need a meter, for I'm sure the

electromagnetic field here is high, but I'm the only person in the street

Hi Kris,

I have suspected that I'm mercury-toxic - and before I got " sidetracked " by my

electrosensitivity crisis I had been trying to educate myself about Hg

toxicity/detox and trying to take steps toward amalgam removal and chelation.

In exploring what is on the 'Net about this, I somehow came across the work of

Cutler. Many people who have struggled with mercury toxicty, and

suffered through failed detoxes - have become strong " disciples " of Andy

Cutler's method of chelation. Where many other methods of chelation failed,

these people claim that Andy's method was tremendously helpful. Cutler says

that there are many chelation protocols that are simply ineffective - and may

actually make the problem worse instead of better. (He also claims that many of

the " tests " done are inaccurate.) It could be that you are in fact mercury

toxic, and are a " victim " of an ineffective method of chelation.

According to Andy and his followers - you can only succeed in truly getting the

mercury out of your body by taking small, frequent doses of ALA along with DMSA,

or just ALA alone. ( " Freqent Doses " means once every 3 or 4 hours - even

through the night.) One might have to start with VERY small doses of ALA and

DMSA in order to tolerate the rigors of chelation. If the doses of ALA and DMSA

aren't taken frequently enough - you don't succeed in actually moving the

mercury out of your body. Doses that are not frequent enough only redistribute

the mercury throughout your body. A 100mg capsule of ALA or RLA taken once

daily can actually do more harm than good, according to Cutler.

I won't elaborate any more - I'll just give you a link to a website that he

keeps through which you can order his highly-esteemed books (many people swear

by these books as " definitive " sources on mercury/heavy-metal toxicity and

" proper " chelation): www.noamalgam.com

Also, you might be interested in joining the " Frequent Dose Chelation "

group - which is filled with people either going through Andy Cutler's chelation

protocol, or preparing themselves for it. This group is a good way to keep up

with updated information (Andy himself has posted there occassionally) and learn

from some very knowledgable people.

I know what you may be thinking - " Yeah, another guy proclaiming himself to be

an 'expert' - what else is new? " - you may be skepical. But once you explore

the Frequent Dose Chelation group, read archived posts from people following

this protocol (and old posts from Andy himself), and read Andy's books - there

is a good chance that you will be convinced that the guy and his protocol are

legit, to say the least.

Hi Rixta,

There are huge powerlines OUTSIDE your house? Electricity is low frequent and I

don't think there are efficient shielding materials for shielding low

frequencies...

The problem could also be the electricity/wireless phone/internet IN YOUR HOUSE.

At night you could turn off power (electricity) at the electric/fuse panel. You

may feel the difference...

Best regards,
