Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi , Thanks for the feedback. It's possible that dehydration could have played a role in my reaction inside of the Apple Store - but then again, I visited other stores (i.e. stood in an aisle full of LCD TVs for a long while) and didn't have the same reaction. But I'm afraid that my computer addiction and emf " crisis " has had the side effect of me neglecting my dietary values - I haven't been eating and hydrating myself as I should. Maybe I'll get back on track when I finally decide on a " better " computer (provided it's the right choice). Yeah - and it's been said that many people with adrenal fatigue need more salt...but in general, I haven't found that to be the case with me. I've tried to listen to my body...and I don't think my body is telling me that I need more salt/sodium. In fact, when I tried taking the sodium ascorbate form of Vitamin C (which is highly recommended by some) - there were signs that my body didn't like it. My body seems to respond much more positively to mixed mineral ascorbates, magnesium ascorbate, & calcium ascorbate. (I've found pure ascorbic acid to be too " acidic " for me.) Before I got sidetracked by my emf crisis - I had been slowly trying to investigate ways to determine if I have a problem with gluten intolerance, and if a gluten-free, and/or casein-free diet would benefit me. Some " experts " even recommend that you take gluten-free/casein-free a step farther - and follow a " Specific Carbohydrate Diet " . Following these type of exclusion diets would be *major* work and involve a lot of sacrifice - so it would be nice if there was a test or something in which I could find out definitively if I would benefit from one (or more) of these exclusion diets. I don't know anything about " tight junction permeability " - I guess that's something else I'll have to look into. ~Svetaswan > > > > > > > > > From: svetaswan <svetaswan@> > > > Subject: Re: Wifi on Mac Mini desktop - WiFi woes > > > > > > Date: Monday, May 10, 2010, 9:39 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi , > > > > > > Well, my parents' " normalcy " certainly isn't doing me any good. Sometimes " normal " is overrated - a lot of harm is being done by these so-called " normal " people sitting in board rooms making decisions about the technology that is supposedly " safe " for everyone (but what they're actually concerned about is what is more profitable to them). And there are other " normal " people in power making some evil, selfish decisions that harm the masses. > > > > > > I suppose I do have trouble verbalizing my symptoms in the most effective way - the frustrating thing about it is that e.s. has contributed to this difficulty. So e.s. itself makes it more difficult for some people to articulate their e.s.. It can be a real quagmire. > > > > > > But just today, I did receive a bit of hope - from my conversation with my Dad, he seems to be more open to the idea of getting rid of WiFi. He still seems to think that it's " all in my head " - but I didn't receive the strong resistance to the idea of dismantling WiFi that I did a couple of months ago. We'll see where this goes - I hope it wasn't just idle talk. (If this ever gets done, it won't be done right away - it will be at least June/July before it's done.) > > > > > > So your parents have come around - I guess they now see that you were " ahead of your time " . I guess it feels good to have the media finally validate what you've been feeling and knowing for years. I think Europe may be ahead of the U.S. when it comes to considering - and acting on - the dangers of this wireless technology. Then again, Europe is more progressive than the U.S. when it comes to many matters of public welfare (In Europe, " welfare " doesn't seem to be a bad word like it is over here.). I'm afraid that America is just too full of selfish, profit-mongering folks to fully investigate or admit to the harm that all of this " technological progress " is doing. > > > > > > As far as unplugging the WiFi at night - well, it's complicated. My sleep-wake cycle is really messed up and irregular (I'm on disability so I don't work)...often, I'm sleeping during the time when someone else in my household is awake (and using the computer). When I have been able to turn off WiFi, though - I've noticed a definite relief. Also, the company that provides our wireless internet got the *bright idea* to hook up the phone lines to the same device that sends out our wireless signal - so, powering off the WiFi router also means turning off our phone lines. So, to get relief from WiFi - it means risking someone not being able to reach us via phone in the case of an emergency. It's a really messed-up situation. > > > > > > As far as owning a DECT phone - well, I may be guilty as charged. Back in 2006, I bought my parents a cordless phone (with a base station, which is in their bedroom) for Christmas. I'm guessing that this phone uses DECT technology - it works too well for it not to be " dangerous " , lol. But I've never noticed any symptoms from the cordless phone - at least not before my computer-induced e.s. got out of hand and I became more aware of the issue of emf. And when I asked my mom a couple of months ago if she noticed any symptoms from the base station being right beside her bed, she laughed and said " no " . No apparent sleep difficulites. ..nothing. It still doesn't mean that we shouldn't get rid of it, though! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
