Jenny had always suffered from the occasional migraine. However, recently, she had been experiencing them frequently and at times, quite severely. She therefore asked Building Wellness to do an EMF and radio frequency assessment of her home to determine whether or not these exposures may be responsible for her condition.

Test Findings

While radio frequency levels in the home were within the safety levels recommended by Building Biologists, the magnetic field level at Jenny’s pillow position was quite high. The source of the field was traced to new computer equipment located on the opposite side of the wall to the bed head. This equipment was being left on all night, thereby exposing Jenny to a high field for 6-7 hours while she slept.

Recommendations

As magnetic fields are associated with the flow of electric current, they are found around electrical appliances which are turned on. Turning off an appliance will therefore eliminate the field associated with it. Jenny was therefore advised to turn off and unplug the computer every night before going to bed.

Outcome

After implementing this recommendation, Jenny found that the frequency of her migraines reduced dramatically, so that once again, she only experienced them on the odd occasion.
