Natural Health with Merrilyn Hope

Sensitivity To Electricity and Electromagnetic Energies:

Beware of cell phone towers, electricity transformers, and the new ‘smart’ meters which have high radiation due to microwaves.  Limit the use of a cell phones and wireless computers for your health’s sake.

There are several very good, sensible remedial measures to take if you have been sensitized to electromagnetic energies,  but of course, avoiding exposure to electromagnetic fields is best, if it is at all possible.

Sometimes, a change of life-style is imperative, especially if you live under high-wires, near an electricity transformer, or a cell-phone transmitting tower.  The microwaves which are emitted from new ‘smart’ electricity meters will damage your health before long, if you have to sleep within three metres of the meter box.

It might be necessary to move house if you are being subjected to strong electromagnetic forces from cell phone towers, or high tension power lines, especially if your health is suffering.  There is an added risk to the health now that ‘smart’ electricity meters have been installed in most houses across New Zealand:  These operate on microwaves, and I believe that they are very damaging to the health. It is important to place your bed well away from these microwave electricity meters, and to avoid spending long periods next to them.

Often people ask me why I don’t take certain vitamins or “do something about it” by using a device which absorbs electro-magnetic energies.

Well, that could be useful. However, even though my health has recovered from extreme electricity sensitivity, I take every opportunity to avoid trouble spots when I can.

Any of the following will undermine my health eventually, if I am subjected to their radiation for too long:  an electricity transformer, a cell phone tower, or high tension wires, microwave-operated electricity meters, and even cell phones.  These things all have the capacity to undermine my health, reduce my immunity to candida and other diseases, and re-sensitize me to electrical energies,  even if I was to take the best of remedial measures.

One example of an effect which cannot be lessened by therapies, except by distance from the source of radiation, or the wearing of a special mask, is the burning to the eye tissues, which transformers, cell phone towers, ‘smart’ electricity meters and power lines all cause.

Remedial measures are all very well, but there is nothing better than avoiding the source of the problem in the first place.

I have often had to make a decision to move away from a house or location when my health has been undermined through things I cannot change.

So – What are the symptoms of electricity sensitivity, or microwave or radiation poisoning? If you find that your nerves are shaky, your bones ache, your hair bristles when near power sources, or travelling in the car,  or your hair is falling out, or that you get electric shocks from touching car doors, or metal objects, or even house windows, or you get head aches or your nose bleeds in the car when driving down a motor-way which is lined with pylons carrying high tension wires, you have a few symptoms which are most probably electricity-related.

Depression, anxiety, eczema, heart palpitations, and high blood pressure might go along with any of the above symptoms.  Cancer, arthritis or Parkinson’s disease could develop if microwave or electrical poisoning continues over long periods.

You might like to see a health professional regarding treatment, but some simple steps which I have found to be helpful are the following:

1) Spend as much time as you can “earthing” yourself.  Walking barefoot on grass, especially damp grass after rain or a fall of dew, or walking on damp sand, or paddling in water, particularly sea water, are all very helpful in expelling electrical energies.

Do one of these every day – several times a day if you are severly affected.

2) Walking: Wear soft soled shoes – leather soles are good, because leather does not inhibit the connection between you and the earth. If the sole is to be a man-made material, then choose a thin soled shoe, as this will  “earth” to the ground better than a thick-soled shoe.  Many people suffer unnecesarily because they spend their days at work, or at home, wearing shoes which do not allow the electricity from the body to naturally flow into the earth.  Even if they do get to walk outside on grass or earth, with thick-soled shoes on, the effect is like that of walking on air: they will not receive the health benefits of nature’s natural earthing.

This results in one experiencing electric shocks from touching things, hair falling out, water retention, or simply in shakes and tremors developing, which is a sign  the nervous system is being literally burnt out.

3) Avoid synthetic fibres for all purposes, especially  for clothing,  bed-linen and bed coverings, carpet and drapes.

Clothing made with synthetic fibres forms an encasement around the body which provides a great conductor for electro-magnetic energies. This creates a huge disturbance for the body’s own auric body, or energy field: this system is very finely tuned compared to the super-imposed one which is created by the wearing of synthetic clothing, and a way of life which prohibits the natural expelling of unwanted energies.

Bed linen and coverings also play havoc with the body’s own electrical circuit.  These things are bound to cause restless nights, with headaches and anxieties, and nervous twitching of arms and legs, etc.

Even if you do not have a discernable sensitivity to electro-magnetic fields, you will find you sleep better with pure cotton sheets and woollen blankets, rather than their synthetic equivalents.

4) Avoid the colour red, especially for sheets and garments which you will wear for more than several hours at a time.

Red or orange equate to the colours of radiation. They excite the body’s nervous system and passions.

Red sheets most definitely result in unsettled nights, and do nothing for one who wants to sleep peacefully.

Switch to white, or blue and green, and avoid the “hot” colours for the sheets on the bed. The same philosophy, for people suffering radiation problems, should be applied to the clothing which one wears by night and day.

5) On the subject of sleep: It is imperative that you move your bed away from electricity wires which are usually hidden in the wall to provide lighting for you to read at night.  This placing of the electric wires, right by the head, is the worst place they could be, as they are closest to the brain.  Over time, apart from experiencing headaches and migraines, the pituitary and pineal glands could be affected. This can result in hormonal imbalances occurring.

Move the bed to the part of the room which is furthest away from the transformer and trails of electricity wires in the walls. Move the bed out from the wall if you have to, and put your head at the bottom end of the bed if there is no way, in the meantime, to distance yourself sufficiently from the electric currents.

You are better to get a bedside lamp to put beside the bed – this can be turned off at the wall when you have finished reading. Make sure that if you use an extension cord. that this is not coiled about you, as this intensifies the magnetic effect.

Overhead lights are usually far enough away from the head and body to be of concern, however, if you live in an apartment block, you have to consider where the wiring is below you for the apartment beneath. Move your bed away from the main tracks of wires which lead to the lighting of the flat below. The T.V. sets of the neighbours on all sides, up and down, also needs to be considered. Do not sleep on the other side of a the wall where a T.V. is placed, neither in your own flat nor that of your neighbour’s.

Avoid sleeping underneath T.V. aerials also – these affect the brain profoundly and, if you are sensitive, will cause memory loss within a short time. I find, when I have moved a sufficient distance away from the aerial, say at least 20 feet,  that memory is restored again.

Apartment living, I have found, is particularly disagreeable to my health

6) Drink plenty of good quality water. This helps in taking away toxins from the body, and also in antidoting radiation – partly in the urination process, which contacts us with earth.

You can solarize your water with the colour green.  This helps antidote the red of the radiation which the body has been exposed to. Just fill a green-coloured glass bottle with good water and leave in the sun for five hours. Experiment with different shades of green using different makes of bottles, as the effect of some is definately better than others, depending on what ingredients have gone into the making of the glass.

7) Bath and shower in fresh or salt water daily – several times a day if you are severley affected. Water is the best thing in grounding us to the earth by transporting electrical energies into earth.

Sea water with its salt content is especially healing of electro-magnetic troubles.

8) Cleanse the body of toxins as much as you can. Metals and other poisons in the body contribute toward its holding in of electro-magnetic energies.

Plenty of fruits and green vegetales are essential.

9) Spirulina and kelp are excellent aids in helping to eliminate radiation sickness.  Use also magnesium and calcium-rich foods or supplements. I have found mag.phos., calc.fluor., slica, Vitamin C and Halibut liver oil capsules to be helpful, although I would advise anyone interested to get a professional to advise on the use of these things.

Professional help for the treatment of candida albicans is a good idea: Sensitive people are prone to candida, and also to electro-magnetic vibrations.

However, this should only be a short-term measure, and a long-term solution to the problem of your environment should be sought. Being candida-free certainly makes the body more tolerant to stresses of all sorts, but if you constantly expose yourself to magnetic forces and radiation, the natural beneficial flora in the bowel is destroyed, which means you will be forever buying expensive acidophilus and other things to maintain healthy digestion. I find that avoiding electro-magnetic forces is a better way than filling up constantly on the things which have been depleted by radiation.

10) Lying still on green grass whilst doing breathing exercises is a very healing practice.

When my arms and hands were suffering badly, with constant tingling, pins and needles and numbness, I found going out several times at night onto the cool green lawn to touch the damp grass for 5-10 minutes at a time helped the condition enormously. I made this a practice during the time I spent in the gold-mining town, when the trouble for me was at its worst.

11) The Power of Prayer was the thing which finally brought about a healing for me. This was a remarkable experience: nothing but a miracle. I was at a friend’s house near the gold mine, and felt that I was about to terminate my existence on the earth. I was near collapse. My heart was barely going, and my breathing had become shallow. I felt the only thing to save me was the beach: I had to get down to the beach and get into the water.

My friend drove me down. I  suffered the usual nose bleeds on the way, which appeared every time I drove down a road lined with power lines.  This time, the pain and anguish was terrible, and I thought I would not last the time it took to get to the beach before having a stroke or a heart attack. Nor did my friend, who put her foot down to get me there as soon as possible.

Well – we made it.  I went straight to the water with my clothes on, into the waves, praying hard, drinking the water, putting handfuls of water over my head, continuing to pray, drink handfuls of water and douse my head.

Suddenly, as I did this, something incredible occurred. The “thing”, with all its disturbing facets, just left me. The place was filled with light, and  what I believe people call ‘The Holy Spirit’ filled me with life anew. In that instant, I was aware I was “saved”. I knew I would never have the problem again in the same way I had experienced it.

I was truly healed, and I thank God and my unseen Angels, an the best Angel of all, the friend who helped me get to the beach that day.

I am sensible these days about where I live: I choose my abode as carefully as I can. I am still sensitive to electro-magnetic energies and their high-frequency vibrations, but I am not made sick from them, provided I treat them and myself with respect by keeping my distance.

These sensitivites can be put to good use in matters of healing, which subject will be discussed at another time.

Note:  This post was written around ten years ago.  Now, there is another challenging us all in 2015, and that is the advent of new so-called ‘Smart Meters’ which have replaced our old analogue systems of electricity meters. The rays from these new meters are affecting my health very badly at the moment.  The problem is in having such a small flat where one cannot escape the effects of the microwaves being emitted from these meters: I have not one, but two meter boxes on my lounge wall. It is very much like having two mini cell phone towers in my living room and kitchen.

It is not so bad having ‘smart’ meters if you live in a large enough house where you can get at least 7 metres or so away from the meter box. But theyare a hazardous thing when your living area is so small that you cannot escape their microwaves.  Very bad for the eyesight, the nervous system, mental health and overall physical health.

‘Contact’ energy have been very good and removed the microchip from my daughter’s meter in Dunedin. Alas, the situation with my house is not so straight-forward, since I do not own the house.  Because I have someone else’s meter alongside my own one on the wall, I am subjected to an on-going double dose of whatever the authorities is considered a ‘safe’ dose.

I have moved my kitchen into the bathroom for now, which is the furthest point away from the  meter boxes on the living room wall. It is likely I will be moving shortly.
