I have received dozens of emails from people in several countries who report an increase in, or initial onset of, electrical sensitivity symptoms when high-speed fiber optic internet is installed in their neighborhood. How could this be? Isn’t wired fiber optic internet, which uses light to transmit large amounts of data at incredibly high speeds,… Read More
How to Set Up a Low-EMF Internet Connection
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
How to Wire an iPad or iPhone
One question that comes up a lot is how to wire an iPad or iPhone. This can be very beneficial to people who use Apple devices for their work (improved security and health outcomes). A few years ago, this process was complicated and rarely worked. However, in conversations with Apple employees and product users who… Read More
How to Create a Low-EMF Infrared Sauna
One of the best ways to detoxify your body is through the use of an infrared sauna. However, most infrared saunas have high levels of EMF pollution, which can cause health problems over time and acute symptoms for sensitive populations. In this article, you will learn how to test your infrared sauna for electromagnetic fields… Read More

TEDx Talk: Wireless Wake-Up Call
On February 6th, I had the opportunity to speak at TEDxBerkeley. The title of my talk was “Wireless Wake-Up Call.” I discussed the health effects related to the explosion in wireless technology the past few years, along with solutions that can help everyone. Within the presentation, I also talked about how we can develop technology… 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
A New Paradigm in EMF Science
This article was published earlier this year in The Bent, which is the magazine for the National Engineering Honor Society. The organization has a membership of 87,000 engineers across the country and the overall response was quite positive. The article succinctly summarizes how EMF science now shows that wireless technology can harm our health and I point toward solutions… Read More
Do You Have a “Smart” Meter?
Truckee, California (near Lake Tahoe) is unique in that its utility company (Truckee Donner PUD) uses all three types of electrical meter systems: Analog, AMR and AMI (“smart” meters). During a recent visit, I made several short videos of each type of meter system to help you easily identify the type of electrical meter on… Read More
How to Create a Low-EMF Home
I had the opportunity to write about creating a healthy home for Common Ground Magazine this month. I focused on the four types of electromagnetic fields that you want to check for in your home. I have included a short video below that shows you how to measure EMFs. Hopefully this will help you create a healthier home… Read More
Why is Xfinity WiFi Harming People?
Update January 2020: The Comcast Xfinity stores in the San Francisco Bay Area offer modems with no WiFi capabilities to any customer that asks. The non-WiFi modems available are the Arris model TM822R and the Cisco model DPC3008 (which only has internet capability – no phone jack). If your local Comcast provider is giving you a hard… Read More
Is Grounding Good for You?
The short answer is: It depends. “Earthing” or “grounding” is a hot topic these days with health-conscious people. It is often one of the first products of EMF protection that people try out because it has become popularized by the Earthing website and the associated book, “Earthing.” The book outlines a cornucopia of health benefits including… Read More
