101 - Welcome
EMF's are just like microbes and viruses because you can't see them . . . BUT you wash your hands, wipe down surfaces, cook your food and life goes on . . . because if you don't - you get sick.
We need to learn to “wash our hands” of EMF just like we do with microbes and be healthy and safe.
measure
Be informed
It is NOT the last straw that breaks the camels back . . . it is the cumulative load.
EMFSleepSafe is about providing you with the information and tools you need to both measure and understand the problem and make an informed decision. There are many factors that can come into play in regard to insomnia. One, that many people are not even aware of, is the influence of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on sleep and the immune system. EMF does occur in nature, most of it comes from the sun, during the day. Hence, if your body is exposed to EMF in the evening and at night, it reads it as day light and so keeps producing cortisol to keep the body going and does not release melatonin to slow the body down to get ready to sleep, detox and heal, EMF interferes with good sleep . . .
Researchers studying the effects of EMF on museum workers, the results of which were shared in the International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, found that night shift workers exposed to EMF for 20 hours a week had lowered immune system function. They also revealed that women were more prone to the immune system disturbance. Immune system function returned to normal after a change in work site.
If you are not already working with an EMF Consultant in your area who will come out and measure your home for you we can find you one, or we can set up an "EMF-tele-consult." and show you how to measure yourself with our BVK (body voltage kit).
Mitigate
Turn it off
REALITY:
- Human beings are bioelectrical systems and we become charged by electric fields that are generated by anything electric -- including by the wiring inside of a homes walls, by fixtures, electrical outlets, cords and appliances.
- Most electrical items, even if in the “off” mode will emit an electric field. For this reason, simply turning everything off is inadequate.
- The live wiring in your home's walls emits an electrical field that charges your body. Unplugging electrical cords/items does not address this issue. The power to the room must be disconnected for a real, effective solution
- Leaving the comfort of your bedroom and heading out to the main panel to “throw circuit breakers” at bedtime and then again in the morning is one mitigation strategy; however, experience shows that despite the best intentions, people frequently forget and tire quickly of this routine.
- As well, the breakers in your main panel were not built to be frequently used switches and may malfunction over time, possibly representing a hazard, if used in this manner.
THE PROBLEM:
- EMFs cannot be detected consciously by any of our senses: it is easy and convenient to think that they do not exist and that there is no potential harm in our precious modern conveniences and technology. However, there is a growing consensus that an increasing number of people are adversely affected, from insomnia to possibly cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, by the ever-increasing levels of EMF that we are exposed to on a daily basis. There are literally thousands of studies outlining the effects of EMF with some resources listed below.
- Intentionally limiting your daytime exposure to EMF is difficult and at times impossible.
OUR SOLUTION:
- The solution lies in controlling your nighttime environment! Moreover, nighttime mitigation is not only more practical, but likely more important: sleep is your body's regeneration and detoxification time and nnEMF is particularly antagonistic to healthy sleep!
- With the EMFSleepSWITCH, from the comfort of your bedroom, you can remotely turn off and on your selected circuits. In homes where we have installed the The EMFSleepSWITCH, we usually see body voltage levels correct to native background levels -- typically decreasing by a factor of 30 to 100 fold!
- The EMFSleepSwitch is your effective, practical solution that seamlessly integrates in your bedtime routine.
Simply remove the cause of the problem . . . having identified which circuits in our house are affecting us . . . the EMFSleepSWITCH remotely and safely switches them off. No more in home originated electric fields, magnetic fields, dirty electricity or radio frequencies. Maybe now you can sleep. (Manual option also available)
The EMFSleepSwitch is built in a 508A UL industrial control panel shop and come as a complete unit ready to install, which should only take an hour maybe two. Being UL listed they are safe for your home, will pass building inspection and not void your home owners insurance (which a non-UL listed "kit" could). THE safe way for you to control ALL the EMF originating in your house and have an EMF mitigated sleep sanctuary every night. Your breakers are not designed as switches and they can be compromised if used that way regularly.
mend
Work with the design
We are 10x more sensitive to EMF at night. What happens for most people is that once they have an EMF mitigated sleep sanctuary with little to no electromagnetic fields affecting them, insomnia goes away, they sleep better, think more clearly, have more energy. Those that were having symptoms before - find they start clearing up. We have hundreds of satisfied customers . . . why not become one of them?
5,000+ scientific and medical studies show EMF's negative impact and:
100% of us are effected by EMF exposure in some way . . .
30% have symptoms . . .
3% - 5% are EHS (Electrically Hyper-Sensitive) and know there symptoms are from EMF.
During the power cuts in California parents of Autistic children noticed how much better their children did with the power (EMF) off.
Google - Dr. Martin L. Pall, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington and read his work: Compelling Evidence for Eight Distinct Types of Great Harm Caused by Electromagnetic Field (EMF).
Health effects resources:
Historically, the determination of whether or not an energy source was harmful was based on an energy's ability to essentially burn human tissue. We now know that damage occurs far short of thermal injury and that there are many types of molecular and cellular damage that occur with man-made EMFs.
For some people, the jury is still officially out on EMFs specific and long-term health effects and it will likely take years for all of the pieces of the puzzle to come together (remember cigarettes? asbestos? leaded gasoline?...). For health-minded people, there is sufficient current evidence that exposure is harmful and that the escalating cumulative effect is extremely serious. It is a fact that we live in a rapidly expanding technological world and are experiencing exponentially increasing EMF exposure. As such, action is indicated now and every effort should be made to limit EMF exposure wherever possible.
THE BIOINITIATIVE 2012 REPORT:
http://www.bioinitiative.org/table-of-contents/This is an extensive report detailing health effects across multiple organ systems. Though criticized as “cherry picking" studies to support their view, the strength of this report is that it was done independent of governments and existing professional societies that have historically clung to old standards and outdated views. It was independently prepared by 29 expert authors from 10 countries. Over 2000 studies were reviewed and the report is over 1500 pages in length.

are your symptoms emf related?
Take the EMF Sleep Sheep challenge . . .
Find out how much your in home EMF is effecting you . . . take the 6 day sleep sanctuary challenge . . . it's FREE.
Manually turn off the breakers that provide power to your sleep area AND the rooms around you. Find out for sure.
Most people, within 6 nights in an EMF mitigated room, are sleeping better, their symptoms are clearing up, they are feeling better.
We DO NOT recommend manually using your breakers more than 6 night due to safety reasons. You don't want them to fail when you need them most). If you find an EMF mitigated sleep area helps you, that's the time to get a BVK and measure for maximum results and then buy the EMF Sleep Switch that is best for you to SAFELY turn off those circuits.
What are EMF's?
Human beings are exposed to both native (natural) and non-native (man-made) energy sources known as EMFs--electromagnetic fields or forces. The natural ones include such things as the earth's Schumann resonance, sunlight and cosmic radiation. All man-made EMFs are dramatically increasing: wherever possible it is best to limit or reduce exposure. The entire spectrum of energy is referred to as the electromagnetic spectrum as shown in the diagram above.
Reducing EMF exposure basically comes down to a simple strategy: measure with the appropriate meter to understand the environment, mitigate - remove or reduce exposure time with distance and shielding, so you can mend. Categories of EMF with some basic recommendations are outlined below:
ELF/VLF: Extremely low frequency and Very low frequency EMFs are basically the “corded” EMF category and include electrical wiring, all electronics, appliances, computers, etc. Measuring these fields utilizes a body voltage meter and achieving acceptable levels given here. The EMF Sleep Switch effectively addresses limiting this category.
MF: Magnetic fields are a type of EMF typically generated in conjunction with the ELF/VLF fields whenever electricity is flowing through a wire or path. If you use The EMF Sleep Switch, this will most likely be addressed. However, it is a good idea to test your home with a gauss meter as there can be sources distant from your bedroom that would need remediation. This would typically be external power sources requiring shielding or faulty home wiring.
RF: Radio frequency fields include cell phone, radio and microwave energies. Sources include anything wireless from cell phones, to blue tooth, to smart meters and appliances, to cordless phones, to baby monitors, to WiFi . . . Avoiding/limiting usage indoors as much as possible is primary. Blocking sources from outside your home is more involved: options include shielding paints, fabrics and in extreme circumstances the construction of a faraday cage. The EMF Sleep Switch should be used in conjunction with these shielding solutions where ever external originating EMF is an issue. The meter used to assess RF fields is an RF meter.
