Many people now realize that using Wi-Fi is not wise – both for security and health reasons. Wired Ethernet-based internet access goes a long way toward solving these issues. However, even a wired internet system can cause health effects if setup incorrectly. This is because of the electromagnetic interference (EMI) that many new modems and routers… Read More

Solutions for Low-EMF Computing
One of the most common questions I receive from people who have become electrically sensitive is “How can I use a computer without increasing my symptoms?” Some people experience headaches, brain fog, burning skin, chest pain, heart arrhythmia or other EHS symptoms when using a computer. Whether you already experience symptoms or simply want to use a computer… Read More
Why is Xfinity WiFi Harming People?
Update April 2017: I recently dropped into a Comcast Xfinity store in the San Francisco Bay Area and the company is now offering two different modems with no WiFi capabilities to any customer that asks (possibly because of a class action lawsuit that has been filed and because many customers want to use their own router)….
