Question What about the fiber optic junction boxes? Using your phone wont work. Fiber internet uses a newer technology, and therefore tends to be more reliable and faster. Not to confuse with wireless which is thousands of uW/m2. The non-WiFi modems that seem to work best for electrically sensitive families include the Arris models TM822R, SB6141, SB6183 and SB6190. The primary issue is the equipment that is used. In case Karl Riley is not monitoring this page, let me point you to some resources which might answer your question. Just this summer we bought a Trifield TF2 EMF meter and have made adjustments and rid the house of more EMFs that we were not previously aware of. The other place where the AM radio was extremely noisy (buzzed loudly) was when I held it up to the shielded ethernet cable (Cat 7) where it inserts into the laptop ethernet port. 5G is the newest wireless network. www.ecmweb.com is using a security service for protection against online attacks. This is now how you use the AM radio. This will prevent EMI from the fiber optic infrastructure from conducting along the cable and telephone lines in your walls. This will allow any EMI on the ISP system to be transmitted into your home. I also apologize if you have answered any of this elsewhere and I just have not come across it yet (Im reading as much and as fast as I can!). (2017). Thanks! Devices like the Sine Tamer wont necessarily help with this issue. The ACS says on its website that it does not have any official position or statement on whether or not radiofrequency radiation from cell phones, cell phones towers, or other sources is a cause of cancer. Most U.S. government health agencies, including the CDC, FDA and National Cancer Institute, have stated theres no evidence to support a connection between wireless devices and cancer. Fibre helps us to poo more often, increases the size of Yildirim ME, et al. However there are providers in the area that utilize the existing telephone line that I can choose from (at least for now and the foreseeable future). I started researching anything and everything that could be causing this and I realize they had just installed fiber optics at my complex unfortunately the box for my entire building where they put all the connectors in is right outside my bedroom window. This is in contrast to wireless communications for which the radiation emitted is an intrinsic part of the process. Genisco Filters is a company that specializes in this issue. I dont think so, but it would be nice to have your opinion on this. Now I am made surer that I did the right thing by getting rid of the fiber optics & 1 Gigabit router and went for a cable internet & a slower modem. I have seen several people get better by switching back to their original internet providers (this is with all wireless disabled). Yes, it is possible to use a linear power supply with these units but it would make them unbelievably big and heavy, which is the reason they dont do it. Im pretty desperate as I cant rest well at night. The high-speed fiber optic data must be converted to electrical signals before the data can be transmitted to the home on the existing copper cable or phone line DSL. Now they are threatening to cut off my landline service. Although the paper says there is no radiation in the area because of the observatory, the fact is that the observatory is old, outdated and seldom used other than for training purposes. I always wondered about this. Having a low-EMF home is a key aspect of getting better. Also, the music sounds better because theres no more uhm, buzz etc. Does prolonged radiofrequency radiation emitted from Wi-Fi devices induce DNA damage in various tissues of rats? I responded with suggestions via email. Thank you for responding and for your work in this area. Thanks! But my current concern is should it be installed at all?? That surge has some doctors and researchers concerned that the daily bombardment of a variety of electromagnetic signals may increase our cancer risk. Thanks for writing/asking. Evaluation of mobile phone and cordless phone use and glioma risk using the Bradford Hill Viewpoints from 1965 on association or causation. Id think I might have to ground it but IDK if the fiber cable pulls any more of the converter from the power lines juice into the house worse or on some different frequency than the copper cable. I use a landline and ethernet cable. Hi, we have just had fiber optic broadband fitted to all telephone poles in street. You will eventually want to measure the EMFs. I noticed that when I am using the internet through a LAN in our apartment complex, my hands can feel the electricity and it radiates to my back. lightening) that can reduce speed of transmission. There is no good reason to connect billions of devices which could be using up 20% of our electrical output for wireless communication by 2025. Heh, heh Like every other bird, insect, plant, and living creature, I was born electromagnetically sensitive. Most of the available research involves animals. This activity could be originated by the pyramidal neurons in layer IV. I know many people who do this. These are invisible areas of energy that are produced by electricity and are often referred to as radiation. It is the accidental common mode EMI that is coming in from the telecommunications equipment that is the primary issue in this case. I was surprised by your statement that: Those electrical signals, which carry our internet data, are not inherently problematic because they are in a very narrow frequency range and dont typically radiate from the cable or phone lines.. 3) It would seem that the system/technology my town is installing is that which Mark Williams talked about in his comment. This works as well or better for me than the analog phone option. Pall ML, et al. For now, be sure that you are doing steps 2-4 in this article. Im trying to figure out what to do and what to request from the apartments. I know the modem is in the room below me and I know the side of the room where it is. This typically helps a lot. You can learn more about how we ensure our content is accurate and current by reading our. What are your symptoms? The scientists pointed to data showing electromagnetic fields generated by cell phones, wi-fi and baby monitors may impact human health. They never mentioned the MOA. Other common household wireless devices include: The estimated number of wireless devices worldwide has nearly tripled to 22 billion since 2016. I really need the higher speed for my home office where I teach classes via video teleconferencing. Many of my clients who need the information now get the PDF and print/bind at a local print shop (its about 80 pages and costs $20 to do so). (2014). See the videos I have of this in the comments above. EMI isnt limited to being on electrical wiring. They did exist with the initial brick phones, but were rare. All of a sudden, I cant watch tv without being affected and couldnt sleep all night. IARC classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans. We really have to stay on our toes with all the new technologies and keep sharing what we learn. It provides faster mobile communication by producing higher electromagnetic frequencies. These myths are just that myths. In the building, the two phases are accessible at the dryer and at the cooking range. Im pretty sure its directly associated with the installation. We moved into a new home in a fiber optic community and took that service. I have requested they move the box which they told me no. 6.) Both are a part of a healthy diet that can help lower your cancer risk. Finally, I phoned up technical support and they said turn the router off and then on again. Optical glass fiber is just silica glass. Hello. In fact, the American Cancer Society (ACS) says Bluetooth earpieces send out radiofrequency waves at significantly lower levels than even cell phones. Also, I have no experience with the Furman Power Station. I would like to know if your printed books are available now. Seek the Light we have to change. Many internet providers are now starting to install fiber to the home using GPON technology (Gigabit Passive Optical Network). (2015). Thanks for your comment Dave. Same problem with our landlines. This is why for now I recommend that ES people continue with cable internet. I use only a desktop computer hardwired to an old non-WiFi modem using DSL service. In most areas, even the most basic package is much faster than you will need to stream movies on Netflix or Amazon. I also want to say that I completely understand the need to for a consultation for the in-depth answers my questions would require. Those boxes are between every house in our neighborhood! Thanks in advance. Opinions vary on whether cell phones and other devices that produce radiofrequency energy cause cancer. At this time, there are no third party fiber modems that we could cherry pick (like we can do with cable providers like Comcast and regional ISPs). You do want to check the fiber optic cable coming into your home for EMI. 3.) I think they generate from the same modem. I would be sure to ground the connection before it gets to your computer. (2015). Other experts think fiber's effect on something called " insulin sensitivity" Excessive signal loss due to a cable span thats too long. Sometimes the fiber lines are above ground, up on the poles. Do you know what non-registered antennas means in the list? Insufficient transmitting power. Perhaps you want to reword that section to better explain what you mean. This is what happens when it is done improperly with a cable modem: About EMI filters, what about those ones: https://www.curtisind.com/products/rfi-power-line-filters/? In fiber bundle imaging, the cores can transfer information about image pixels at each corresponding position. And will it even do me any good to move to a different apartment within this complex if it has fiber optics? My goal is to give you practical and effective EMF solutions that actually work. This month Comcast installed underground fiber optic cable and they turned it on yesterday. The Dream Canopy on this page is a good option when you are traveling around: https://www.emfanalysis.com/bed-canopies/. When will you have a paper version of the book? I have so many within .5 miles of our home. Those electrical signals, which carry our internet data, are not inherently problematic because they are in a very narrow frequency range and dont typically radiate from the cable or phone lines. Uncle Google, for some reason, cannot answer this, but if you sleep low to the ground, or on a small mattress on the ground,(so like your building floor is about two feet off earth,), on a wooden floor, is it possible theres Less EMF at lower levels than say at 3 feet, or standard bed height? I have sent you an email with some specific ideas. We live in a wireless world. Ive been to Green Bank . I believe I am experiencing this problem but Im confused because regular tv channels dont cause me to feel ill. 2.) So, as you can see, fiber optic cables play a vital role in global communication. It was great to hear what you had to say at EMFC this year! As for cell towers, antenna search is good. [3] This is contrary to gamma wave oscillatory frequencies which emerge in selective focus tasks., Ive read nearly 100,000 pages of such data, and non-intended electromagnetic induction of neuronal cells and tissues are at the bottom line of altered and chaotic modern behaviors, I know Im not being helpful, but ducking for cover whilst we destroy the Earth is a bit counterintuitive We are murdering the planet with electromagnetic infrastructure so we can talk endlessly about how to stop doing it. WiFi and the electronic devices that connect to it, such as mobile phones, laptops and wireless This is how I do phone/Skype consults: Yes, electromagnetic interference (EMI) is the proper engineering term for dirty electricity. DE is just the term that has been popularized. Thank you so much for the article. There is a big 3-story apartment complex being built up the street from me and it has a brand new cell tower that stands within a hundred yards of the structures. Yes I can see your point, but things are changing and lucky for all of us God is in charge and making changes and these will ultimately be part of the change. This inadvertent EMI then piggybacks on the copper cable and phone lines into our homes where it can radiate from every copper wire. https://www.emfanalysis.com/recommended-emf-meters/, How to Use Your EMF Meters: https://youtu.be/_aVINxa2ERA, Why inexpensive EMF meters dont work: https://youtu.be/TFcl05hkVkE. It is not known to cause cancer. Be sure to do this setup between your modem and laptop. After 35+ years of attempting to wake people up to the biologically destructive properties of electromagnetic induction, I have given up any hope for humanity. Can you comment on the science behind that or direct me to a website? Most traditional routers support FTTP-enabled internet connection, but cannot efficiently handle the high-speed data transmission of fibre optic technology. It could force animals to relocate and plants to die. Or can all remediation easily be done at a later date? This reader comment gets into this issue: Also, beware that fiber can in some cases be used as a trojan horse for small cell development. The changes wont be significant though. The sensor was used to measure the backscattered and transmitted light from frozen and unfrozen ex vivo porcine tissue and in vivo human skin tissue (finger). I have been affected by EMF since last fall and have changed several things in my home based on your recommendations. Let me know how it goes with the NBN fiber connection. Then there is no harm at all. All of there terms confuse me. You could have a low-SAR phone, but still have non-thermal biological effects. Is there a possibility for a cure after this (electromagnetic sensitivity) happens to you? It is the only EMF resource on the internet by an electrically sensitive engineer that has over a decade of experience working directly with thousands of individuals and families. My Mother is insanely affected by things like LED lightingif she sits under an LED light for just 10 minutes she turns from feeling great to literally deathly ill and downright green. Thanks. I explain the topic correctly in a way that any beginner can understand: https://www.emfanalysis.com/healthy-home/, https://www.emfanalysis.com/how-to-create-a-healthy-home/. Unless a cable carrying electrical signals is properly shielded and grounded it by its nature will radiate beyond the cable. Keep up the great work! I typically just run long Ethernet or fiber cables in my home. Of course, they told me there would be no EMF exposure from this because its not using antennas/cell technology. This is the key to safer fiber in my opinion. This is how I work: Jeromy, I have spoken to you on a number of occasions via EMAIL and since Hybrid Fibre Cable (HFC) has come to town, my world has been turned inside out. Work telephone conferences and Internet use the fiber optic thin plastic cable at the same time. Effects of melatonin on Wi-Fi-induced oxidative stress in the lens of rats. (Dining in restaurants is pretty much history for us). Water damage to fiber optic cables causes significant attenuation and transmission deterioration. Not only did I have a horrible headache, and no longer sleep in my bedroom, but my son and I both have kind of a ringing our ears constantly when were at the apartment. If I cant reduce this EMI, I will not be able to use a phone. They also noted that the questionnaire didnt ask if participants were smokers. Also wonderful that you are sharing this information with your community. (2019). Then it will be to the presses. My book is not in paperback form at this time. 5) If installed properly (with the right kind of technology) is Fiber Optic actually safe? with a Fluke, AEMC, Sperry, else? We are on two acres with underground utilities. Most neighborhoods wont have those until fiber optics are installed in the community. It was suggested to me to purchase a Furman Power Station to see if this reduces the sensitivity I am feeling, but I havent had it installed yet. Yikes! My next article will cover what I do in a home that is served by fiber optic internet (see #7 above). Thalamocortical alpha frequency oscillations have been noted in the human occipital-parietal cortex. How long does it take to fix a fiber optic cable? If it becomes a problem I could then go back to the older technology. Does any of this matter? I know different ones are present with different sources such as cell towers, fiber, CAT6 & WiFi. You will be redirected once the validation is complete. Thanks for your question. Thanks for asking. Thanks, Jeromy. to create fiber optic technologies which support accessibility needs for electrosensitive people around the world? Can they emit anything if we are not connected to it? But right now we are faced with the decision to consent or not to Fiber Optics at our house. With the co-axial cables in your home, I might just disconnect the ones you are not using if you suspect that you have this EMI issue. Due to the high volume of comments we receive, we are usually unable to respond to each person individually. If you advocate for fiber in communities, you need laws/ordinances in place that wont allow it to be used to put small cells that are used for 4G/5G on every street corner. This is especially the case if the fiber isnt also being used for 5G small cell antennas out at the street. I have a master's degree in engineering and had a successful career in Silicon Valley before I began to experience negative health effects from wireless technology and electrical pollution. The Federal Communications Commission agrees, but suggests consumers may want to take steps to reduce their exposure to electromagnetic radiation, especially from cell phones. They are putting high amounts of EMI on the home data lines and electrical system. Glad the article has been timely for you. 3.) Should I be concerned about this? This is all getting so complicated and it seems the options are limited. I had not read it before. Fiber itself is perfectly safe, but the equipment converting the light to electrical signals can cause EMI that will be on the neighborhood electrical system and data lines into the homes. I am just not totally sure how to interpret what Im hearing. It can also lower your risk of heart disease and some cancers. An example is that of the power supply units for laptops, netbooks, induction charging docks for portables like phones and tablets, as well as the desktop, let alone the All-In-One (AIO) computers. We are in a rural area of FL and have only been in our home for 2 years, but with the addition of these new towers it really worries me. In addition to your info, (I do not use wi-fi), I shielded my modem and use a ground plug for the modem cable. What model of modem should I look for to connect with iiNet ? (BTW, were in the States where misinformation and greed at the expense of safety abounds.). I have a Comcast router that has no RF emissions, and the electric field measurement by my router and desktop computer is 15 V/m. Thanks for this great article Jeromy! The underground cables are a big unknown. =====, I have a few questions: However, it doesnt capture most of the newer small 4G DAS/5G antennas. A 2016 animal study found that radiation emitted from Wi-Fi causes DNA damage in the testes of rats. I am not familiar with the low-EMI/EMF modem models/providers in Australia. Unfortunately, the modem provided by your internet provider will often produce high amounts of EMI, along with WiFi. WebOne theory is that fiber might prevent this disease by affecting hormone levels, like with breast cancer. I have the lowest bandwith and find it to be adequate for my needs. Older land line copper wire service is now discontinued in NJ. Meese J, et al. Some have WiFi built into them and you will have to work with the provider to get this disabled. Dana-Farber shares patient stories which may include descriptions of actual medical results. Continue internet service with a non-fiber optic provider as long as possible.
