Guest guest Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hi Ace, I've had an Asrock Ion 330HT Nettop for the last month, and I'm doing very well with it. It's the size of a lunchbox and can easily be hidden/stored away from you. Here's an update on my Asrock Ion 330 HT. I have the 4GB memory upgrade. A few days in the PC is turning out to be a great purchase, EMF and dirty electricity readings have kept very low. The magnetic readings come out of at 1.5ish on the 0-3 magnetic range on a Trifield meter. Nothing coming out of radio or electric ranges. I decided to turn the Wi-fi off. The dirty electricity readings on the stetzer monitor come out no higher than the base of the house. I've tried this by comparing the reading I have with all my sockets turned off, bar the one in use for the meter, and compared this against the one socket in use for the PC. It's a great little PC, not only for normal PC use but also for reducing EMF exposures.

I'm EMF sensitive, strongly to wi-fi signals as well as newer computers. Luckily I have an old monitor that is very low EMF, so no problem. But I need a new computer soon, and I dont know what to do.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi - thanks for the update. May I ask what type of monitor you are using with the Asrock Ion Nettop? As good as this desktop, or nettop sounds, I'm afraid that it just won't be very practical for me go the desktop route (even very small ones would pose a problem). Just one of the reasons: I need something portable that I can hook up to a printer in the basement - I need to bring the computer to the printer, because I won't be able to bring the printer to the computer. (This nettop seems pretty portable, but I would need a monitor to be able to use the printer.) And there are other drawbacks to having a desktop set-up in my bedroom that may/would be hard to live with. ~Svetaswan > > Hi Ace, > > > > I've had an Asrock Ion 330HT Nettop for the last month, and I'm doing very > well with it.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi Ace - I'm in a very similar boat...I've been suffering from symptoms from my laptop/Wi-Fi and I'm in the market for a computer (laptop) that may be more tolerable...so I'll be interested in all responses to your inquiry. I've come across the cactus suggestion too - from more than one source. The idea may not be all that ridiculous - although this doesn't account for how ridiculous you might *feel* for surrounding your computer with cactus/cacti, lol. I haven't tried the cactus-method myself, but it has been my experience that putting things on or near my computer to try to make it more tolerable only has a limited and/or temporary effect. (The things I've tried may have only had a placebo effect.) Granted, I've only tried a couple of " devices " , so there might be something out there (Q-Link Pendant?) that I haven't tried that has a long-term, consistent effect. ~Svetaswan > > I'm EMF sensitive, strongly to wi-fi signals as well as newer computers.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi Ace, I also prefer a laptop for practicality, but the only one I can stand is a 4.5-year-old Acer... in the meantime I've bought another one second hand (not easy to find!) just to have one once this one crashes! I've tried 5 different new laptops 2 years ago: IBM, hp, Apple,... and they all got me sick (even without typing on them and with Wi-fi disabled). I think laptops somehow emit more harmful EMF for me... I seem to have less problems with desktops. Maybe it's because a laptop is closer to the body but I'm not sure that's the reason why... If you would find a laptop you can bear it is advisable to hook up a portable keyboard, otherwise you receive a lot of EMF just by typing. Maybe if there are people you know that have laptops you can test them first? I asked in the computer shop if I could test some different laptops for 20 minutes/laptop in my car... Good luck, in the meantime I'll have a cactus up for a test Best regards, . > > > > I'm EMF sensitive, strongly to wi-fi signals as well as newer computers.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi Again, I actually own a standard LCD monitor - 20.4 inch from a UK firm named DABS. I have the WDS product Computer Clear on my PC. This helps neutralise EMFs coming out of monitor and PC. WDS are a company who work on making products from Bio Resonance technology. I'm very happy with their products, and I can personally recommend them. Here's a link to them, if you want to investigate: http://www.wds-global.com/ In terms of protable net-tops, you could always look at the Fit PC? It's another low energy PC, but it also seems that you can buy a mini 7 " display for it? I don't have any personal experience of this product though. http://fit-pc.co.uk/order-now.html#FitPC2_ACCESSORIES Regards From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of svetaswan Sent: 15 February 2010 11:30 Subject: Re: Computers and Laptops: whats the solution?

Of course, reacting to flame retardants isn't an " EMF reaction " , although it's probably hard for someone to tell the difference if they've got both chemical sensitivities and electrical sensitivities.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 When I first started looking for a solution for my e-sens to computers, I put like 6 cacti around my monitor but there was really no difference maybe a small difference but it was hard to tell , the reason maybe you felt better after watering them was that water emits negative ions into the air while monitors and electronics emit positive ions ( which are not good for you). Ive tried many laptops and a few netbooks and a mac mini, some where a bit better than others, but they all made me feel really bad, I ended up keeping an aluminum macbook pro which was slightly better than the others. My current setup basically consists of my macbook pro connected to a projector using a DVI fiber optic cable. My mouse and keyboard are connected to the computer using a USB fiber optic cable, and everything is connected to a tripp lite isobar surge protector, I can say Im pretty much symptom free now I dont get any symptoms now, only if Im on like the whole day at the end of the day I get some very minor symptoms.I use to start getting face burn and rashes within 5 minutes when I use to use my macbook pro alone. -Cristian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi Diane, Yes it is frustrating if you have to work all day on a computer that radiates you... Me, I have a small business (no employees only seasonal) in Belgium/Europe that's focused on business gifts (chocolates+wines) and export of chocolates to US & Japan. My work involves also like 8 hours/day work on a pc. I can manage the pc-problems because with my 4.5 year old Acer laptop I have not too much problems. I do have problems with more modern laptops. I have less problems with desktops but I kinda need a laptop, that way I can work partially from home as well. Lately I've gotten a lot more sensitive to cars, so for my job that's much more of a problem right now... Teaching might be a good idea for you, I think/guess that the Wifi and mobile phone radiation will be less of a problem than working in front of a pc you can't bear... but probably you'll only know for sure once you try it... good luck, . > > Thanks for the info, on this topic, I am taking this all on board.

PUK replies I have gome through the same predicament as you, I have a BSc Honours degree in Building Surveying and 20yrs experience, but I am now floundering, I have consideredthe Police force (no due to Tetra radios) Perhaps a doctor ( I would make a great one, but no due to modern tech in hospitals and pcs) a Teacher, well thats possible but just like you I keep on stalling - I have not worked for well over a year and was struggling for 5 or more due to ES in office environments, I am now signed off as ES by my GP and get a state benefit of £64.50 per week as opposed to the £600 I used to earn. All other non skilled work is just around the minimum wage of £5.50 per hour so thats a stumbling block to start to slave away at something that has no future, gardening and outside work is a possibility and a little better pay, but again its very hand to mouth. I need to make a decision soon, perhaps if you are interested in teaching then you should go for it, you could always find a scholl later on that is lowish tech to get your foot in the door, for me Physical education teaching and Biology might be an option, the PE is good due to outdoors etc.. The only thing you must master is not to broadcast the fact that you are ES to much, in relation to work, dont expect altruistic traetment you wont get it, you will just be marginalised, there are to many other viable candidates that can fill your shoes. p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 No idea why I can bear the old Acer laptop... Probably I can bear other laptops that are 5 years old... I think it should be one of these 4 that's bothering me with new laptops: 1. The processor/motherboard The new laptops all use the same Intel-processors (also Apple) which are much faster and probably emit other/higher frequencies... but I (think) I can stand new destkops (which use the same processors I suppose?), so that doesn't make sense... 2. Harddrive It could also be the EMF from the harddrive but I don't think so, I have a recent external drive and I can stand that... 3. Wifi card There is no Wifi card on the old Acer, which is just great! But whilst testing recent models I did put off the Wifi so... I had an external Wifi card on the Acer and felt no difference (although I could measure the difference). 4. 3G card For a short period I had a 3G-card from somebody else (for surfing on the cellphone-masts; this is for Europe) and that did got me really sick, but on the laptops I tested 2 years ago there was no 3G-card for standard... So it's not easy to tell why... Probably it's different for everybody... . > > > > > > Thanks for the info, on this topic, I am taking this all on board. > Can I ask everyone what you all do for a living?

It's also possible that it has nothing to do with the vintage of the laptop. I know that we once had a Dell laptop made around 1998 that was utterly intolerable to me, yet a 2006 IBM laptop was pretty good...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hi Diane!  Sorry you are struggling. Yes computer is hard to get away from. Teaching could possibly be a good solution but you know there is usually lots of wireless in a school. Maybe not as much in elementary grades.

Right now I work in admin and am in front of a computer all day and no-one is listening to my concerns so I can't stay here much longer. I am the only peson in the ofice whose filing is bang up to date because I get up and do it every day so I can get away from my desk. I need a career that is not computer based but as you can imagine its hard because most industries are computer reliant. I am thinking of going into primary school teaching because that would mean less time in front of a computer, I have some teaching experience, I love working with children and I think I would be a good teacher.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 VERY BRAVE!! What supplements do you take?

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 > What supplements do you take? I read in one of your posts that your level > of sensitivity has decreased. I take a lot of supplements, and it varies from year to year, but they are often low-potency, whole-food type supplements (as I tend to react to the high potency, synthetic stuff). For reduction of ES symptoms, I find several supplements quite helpful: - H-Minus, by e3Live (antioxidant) - Cellfood, by Lumina Health (antioxidant, minerals) - Eleuthero, by Medi-Herb (siberian ginseng, good for radiation exposure) - NDF, by BioRay (heavy metal detox) - Echinacea Premium, by Medi-Herb (immune support, blood cleanser) - Cholocol II, by Standard Process (bentonite clay absorbs gut toxins) - Cataplex ACP, by Standard Process (whole food vitamin A and C, plus bioflavenoids) - Agrisept-L (immune support, fungus fighter) I also use some adrenal support supplements to fight fatigue (IsoCort, Dr. 's Adrenal Rebuilder). Also, lately I've been experimenting with OSR and alpha lipoic acid for heavy metal removal (which actually makes my ES worse while taking these), and OKG, as my doctor thinks my liver is not properly converting ammonia into urea (seemed helpful at first, but not so sure now). Also, skin lotion is helpful for " face burning " symptoms from excessive computer use (e.g. Shikai Borage Oil skin lotion). The most helpful skin thing I've found is USF ointment from Standard Process, but that stuff stinks (fragrance?) and makes my skin look greasy.
