“What EMF product do you sell?”
This is a very frequent question I am asked. After 13 years of studying, measuring and mitigating EMFs, I know one thing for sure. This is a highly complex issue. As a result, my answer to this question is both complex and simple: Enhancing Well-being. That is my “product” – which is very possible when we are committed to low-EMF living.
Here are the reasons why:
There are four different kinds of electromagnet fields (EMF),
which have different frequencies with varying health effects. There is no one solution to quantitatively lower all 4 of types of EMFs. The four types include wireless radiation (or radio-frequency radiation/RFR), electric fields, magnetic fields, and dirty electricity. You can find details about each of these here.
My motivation for this work is not on sales of products. I am a registered nurse with a long background in public health. According to my pledge as an RN, “I devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care.” I take this “environmental nursing” very seriously. I am also driven by a spiritual calling on my life to prevent others from suffering from EMFs. I could never 
recommend any interventions that I was not sure could improve health outcomes. Because the stakes are so high, particularly for our children, the Precautionary Principle is my guiding light. Here is the gist of it: “When there is significant evidence of harm, yet not scientific consensus, it is better to be safe than sorry.” The bedrock for this precaution is the seven decades of science on EMF health effects.
I am committed to helping clients make measurable changes in all four types of EMFs. I was taught well to do thorough EMF assessments in the my training from the Building Biology Institute. BBI is a non-profit with the most rigorous EMF standards and training in North America. I have been honored to serve as one of BBI’s “lab leaders” for its new trainees in 2022, and will do so again in the fall of 2024. Here I am, 
surrounded by some of my mentors during a training of new EMF consultants. (Left to right: Mitch Marchand, Diana Schultz, Larry Gust, me and Eric Windheim)
While one common “solution” promoted is whole-house filtering of dirty electricity, it may actually make things worse! If dirty electricity is caused by a wiring error, and not fixed, then filtering can lead to a massive increase in magnetic fields. Elevated magnetic fields are well documented to break DNA and increase the risk of cancer and miscarriage. Careful assessment is needed before any filtering is installed.
Any EMF product should be considered with caution if we can’t quantitatively measure a reduction in exposure. This includes all types of EMF “chips,” pendants, and subtle energy devices. My husband squirms when I admit I wasted thousands of dollars on such “solutions” that 
did nothing for me. My urgent need to feel better led down a rabbit hole of temporary despair and debt. And this is also the case with hundreds of clients I have served. As a result, I follow the Building Biology Institute’s position on subtle energy devices. Some subtle energy “solutions” may work well as “adjuncts” to quantitative reductions. For some folks, these may provide temporary relief of symptoms. But as exposures increase over time, so does our total body burden of toxins. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine considers the body like a rain barrel of toxins. When new symptoms, the toxic load may have increased. 
When I do recommend a product to lower one particular type of EMF, it is after careful testing by multiple EMF experts with no conflicts of interest. This allows me to be sure of a product’s efficacy. One product that is effective for years may be subpar compared to a newer product that is tested by third parties. Given the complexity of this field, I am grateful that we EMR specialists certified by the Building Biologist meet monthly by Zoom to discuss solutions of all sorts, including which products are helpful and which are not. We have a policy when to meet that prohibits promotion from those with conflicts of interest.
While working with clients, I recommend numerous ways to reduce EMFs/RF that are free or very low-cost. So the most important financial investment is in the assessment itself. At SafeTech NC – the non-profit that I run – there are many 
free solutions to consider for reducing wireless exposure. For those EMF sources that are not clear to you, the first step is always assessing with reliable meters. This is one of the fun things we do together: learning how to use the meters I have and that you may have. This also helps prevent higher EMF exposures in the future, both in your home, at work, and as you travel
Lastly: When we work together to quantitatively lower all four types of EMF exposure, the positive health effects can be stunning! We can turn around a wide array of chronic conditions with low-EMF lifestyles. Why? Because the root cause of many health conditions is an increase in oxidative stress. Ninety-one percent of 290 studies found that wireless radiation exposure increased oxidative damage. (Yes: oxidation, like our cells “rusting”). Well-being is very possible when we are intentional about how we live in this modern world. We want to spread the word on this good news!
Here are some of the stunning results that I and other EMRS have heard and seen from clients following comprehensive EMF assessments and mitigation at home:
- Resolution of symptoms at home related to EMF sensitivity or electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS)
- Brighter mood!
- Clearer thinking / improved memory
- Sound sleep
- Relief / reduction of chronic pain and arthritis
- Improved immune function
- Flourishing fertility
- Improved behavior related to Autism and ADD/ADHD
- And much more!
So in 2024, I will continue to refrain from promoting particular products. I will continue to encourage and carry out comprehensive EMF assessments to lower EMR exposure, and thereby increase your opportunities for well-being.
