Best EMF Protection for the Home: A Practical 5-Step Guide

OVERVIEW: An in-depth, hands-on, practical guide to the best EMF protection for the home.

______________

If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve become aware that the technology we’ve embraced has a dark side.

(If not, no worries. You’ll learn why below.)

This dark side—known as EMF radiation—is far more egregious than most people realize.

Thankfully, numerous proven strategies and methods exist for greatly reducing EMF radiation.

This guide offers over a dozen effective EMF protection strategies, especially for the home.

Let’s dive in …

CONTENTS

What is EMF?

EMF stands for electromagnetic frequency.

EMFs can be derived from nature or can be man-made.

For example, the sun and the earth emit EMFs; they have natural electromagnetic frequencies.

However, when people discuss EMF protection, they refer to specific levels and kinds of man-made EMF (also known as “non-native EMF” or “nnEMF”).

Examples of non-native EMF sources are electric power lines, household appliances, and computer devices.

A distinction is sometimes made in the literature between non-ionizing EMF and ionizing EMF.

Non-ionizing EMFs emit low-level radiation while ionizing EMFs produce high-level radiation.

Electromagnetic Spectrum Frequencies

EMF Concerns Related to This Guide

Our focus here is EMF protection for your home.

EMF in the home comes in three forms:

Electric fields
Magnetic fields
Radio frequencies

The electromagnetic spectrum is generally broken into seven bans: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.

First, we’ll focus on protection from non-ionizing EMF radiation from two bans:

RF or Radio Frequency radiation
Microwave radiation

(Engineers often use RF and microwave frequencies interchangeably.)

These forms of EMF are emitted from electrical devices like computers, laptops, smartphones, wireless routers, and Bluetooth, and other sources like microwaves, cell towers, and satellites.

Then, we’ll address EMF protection from electric and magnetic fields from electrical wires as well as “dirty electricity.”

Is EMF Protection Really Necessary?

Are there genuine health effects related to EMF radiation? Or, is it just hyperbole from uneducated, fearful people?

I’ve had this type of dialogue with numerous individuals (including several engineers), and it’s always fascinating to me.

As someone aware of the real dangers of EMF since the mid-90s, I can say clear evidence has always been available. The evidence has always been compelling, and, it continues to mount.

Tabacco Cigarette Magazine Ad Circa 1953

An Analogy With the Tobacco Industry

Our collective ignorance regarding the dangers of EMF is similar to what happened to the Boomer generation with cigarettes.

In the 1950s, everyone was told cigarette smoking was healthy. It was even encouraged by physicians.

Countless millions were spent on advertising campaigns to condition the population to smoke.

Did the tobacco industry know about the harmful effects of smoking? Did they know their products caused cancer?

Yes, they did! By the early 1960s, over 7,000 published papers illustrated this fact.

(The same story can be told for the soda/soft drink industry.)

The Very Real Dangers of EMF

Similar to the tobacco industry, we now have thousands of studies over the last 30+ years showing the adverse biological effects of EMF exposure.

These harmful effects include:

Breaking single and double-strand DNA¹
Endocrine system damage²
Alteration of heart rhythm³
Damage to mitochondrial DNA⁴
Increased blood-brain barrier permeability⁵
Damages sperm⁶

So yes, the dangers of EMF radiation are real and well-documented.

Note: some research suggests that non-ionizing EMF is not directly harmful to humans; however, this does not mean it’s not indirectly harmful.

For anyone who doesn’t believe non-ionizing radiation is dangerous, see this interview with former Royal Navy microwave weapons expert Dr Barrie Trowers.⁷

EMF-Related Symptoms

Symptoms related to EMF exposure include:

Psychological effects: depression, anxiety, ADD, OCD, stress, and irritability.

Immunological effects: inflammation, autoimmune disease, leaky gut, and other imbalances

Cellular effects: epigenetic changes, DNA damage, cancers, blood-brain barrier damage, metabolic dysfunctions, heart problems, and infertility

Neurologic effects: fatigue, weakness, pain, brain fog, dizziness (vertigo), memory loss, insomnia, headaches, brain tumors, and ringing in the ears.

These symptoms are more pronounced in those with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), covered below.

Research on the Biological Effects of EMF

If you would like to review the available EMF research for yourself, here are five excellent sources:

Lloyd Burrell’s Electric Sense excellent research summary page
Jeromy Johnson’s EMF Research page
Powerwatch’s collection of peer-reviewed scientific studies on EMF
RFSafe’s research summary on electromagnetic fields
Jack Kruse’s “What are the Biologic Effects of EMF?”

I highly recommend the above resources for anyone who questions the harmful effects of EMF radiation flooding through everyone’s bodies 24/7 in the modern world.

Note: if you use a popular search engine to research this topic, you’ll get a very different story. The “official narrative” is that “EMF is safe.”

How Does EMF Affect Our Blood?

Before we continue, let’s quickly examine a few visual illustrations of the effects man-made EMF radiation has on nature and our biology.

In the above image, a series of wireless routers are attached to the building above the first floor. These routers are continuously emitting high levels of EMF radiation.

Notice the obvious effects the EMF has on the bush facing the building.

High EMF-emitted devices like Wi-Fi routers have a specific range of influence. The closer you are to these devices, the stronger the radiation.

The following images are from researcher Lena Pu’s September 2019 lecture titled “5G Health Risks, Surveillance, and BioWeaponry” (available online).

Below is an image of healthy red blood cells. Notice how the cells are full (relatively round) with space between them.

The next image below contrasts healthy blood without external influence versus blood with Wi-Fi exposure.

Notice how the subject’s blood cells begin to clump together.

Finally, here’s an image of the blood of a teacher exposed to Wi-Fi and wireless devices after only two school days.

It’s fascinating to hear people (including Elon Musk) say no meaningful health risks associated with EMF exposure exist.

The last image above highlights what EMF does to our blood. Blood cells that remain clumped together like this become cancerous.

Healthy red blood cells are fluid, buoyant, and regenerative. In contrast, cancer cells are constrained, clumped together, and therefore degenerative.

What is the Best EMF Protection?

The best EMF protection for your home reduces or eliminates the primary sources of EMF, especially RF (radio-frequency) radiation.

Where do we start?

First, we must understand the sources of this EMF.

Second, we execute various strategies to mitigate or eliminate these culprits.

Unfortunately, there’s no “ultimate EMF Protector.” Despite many marketing schemes online, you can’t buy a magical device that protects you and your family from RF or microwave radiation. (We’ll comprehensively address this issue in the FAQ below.)

Effective EMF protection requires a comprehensive strategy that addresses radiation from:

Modems and wireless routers
Smart meters
Smartphones
Other “smart” devices

Thankfully, with a good EMF meter, you can easily test the efficacy of your strategy.

What follows might seem overwhelming initially. But the benefits far outweigh the time, energy, and money required to protect you and your family from harmful EMF exposure.

How to Test EMF Radiation Levels in Your Home

Consider investing in a high-quality EMF meter to test your strategies.

“Electro-sensitive” individuals can feel the effects of EMF. But what if you can’t?

How do you know if your home is flooded with EMF or not?
How do you know the sources of EMF radiation in your home?
Also, how will you know if the changes you make are effective?

EMF radiation is entirely measurable. Invest in a good EMF meter if you want to know for certain.

There are EMF meters on the market that measure AC magnetic levels, AC electric levels, and RF (microwave) levels. Let’s run through three popular options.

TriField TF2

One of the most popular options is the TriField EMF Meter Model TF2 (Amazon), which measures all three levels. It’s an AC gauss meter, AC electric field meter, and radio power density meter all in one. It’s fast and accurate, although with a limited range.

I have this meter. It’s a solid meter—reliable and easy to use.

Safe and Sound Pro II

But if you’re serious about testing EMF levels and making changes to protect yourself in your home, I highly recommend Safe and Sound Pro II by Safe Living Technologies.

This meter effectively measures radio frequencies in the 200 MHz to 8 GHz range. (For contrast, Trifield’s RF mode measures 20 MHz to 6 GHz.)

It’s been third-party tested and is capable of testing 5G frequencies.

The most powerful feature of Safe and Sound Pro II is its “sound signature analysis.” It’s one thing to see the gauge determine the EMF level; it’s a more persuasive sensory experience when you hear the sounds/frequencies associated with the electromagnetic frequencies.

Note that the Safe and Sound Pro II only especially radio frequency and microwave signals—not magnetic and electrical fields.

An ideal combination is the Safe and Sound Pro II and TriField TF2.

Safe and Sound Classic III

However, Safe and Sound Pro II is pricier than the other meters. (It’s 2X the cost of the TriField. That said, it’s well-priced for a meter with this high level of sensitivity. Similar EMF readers can cost 3X this one.)

Go with the Safe and Sound Classic III if you want a more affordable version.

The Safe and Sound Classic III still gives you the true response detection range of 200 MHz to 8 GHz and it’s priced less than the TriField.

EMF Protection for the Home: 7 Steps to Massively Reduce EMF Exposure

I’m not saying you need to make all the changes outlined below. However, if you want the best EMF protection for your whole house, here are the steps you can take:

Step 1: Hardwire Your Whole House
Step 2: Cage Your Modem/Router
Step 3: Mitigate the Smart Meter (if applicable)
Step 4: Shield Your Smartphone
Step 5: Ditch all “Smart” Devices
Step 6: Swap Out Your “Efficient” Bulbs
Step 7: Take Control of Your House Grid

Let’s jump right in with Step 1: How to hardwire your home. It’s an essential first step for the best EMF protection.

STEP 1: Hardwire Your Home | EMF Home Protection

The wireless router is the biggest EMF radiation offender in most homes—except for homes with smart meters (discussed below).

If you have a wireless (Wi-Fi) router running in your home, you’re continuously dosing yourself and your family with intense RF radiation.

The closer you are to your router, the higher the radiation exposure.

The router shielding we cover in Step 2 can reduce EMF radiation exposure by over 90%, however, it still emits unacceptable, harmful radiation levels.

Hardwiring your house is the single best EMF protection for your home from RF radiation exposure. It gives you the best of both worlds: high-speed Internet access and massively reduced EMF exposure.

Understanding Modems Versus Routers

First, let’s quickly review the difference between modems and routers for those who aren’t tech-savvy.

Modem

A modem connects your home to the Internet (via cable, DSL, or satellite).

A router connects to your modem, allowing multiple devices to connect to the Internet simultaneously over your local network.

A standalone modem doesn’t transmit data wirelessly; a Wi-Fi router does.

Modems and routers can be separate standalone units, or combined into a single unit called a modem-router.

This distinction is important for EMF protection because the Wi-Fi router emits the bulk of radio frequency (RF) radiation.

Wireless Router

A modem and a router are needed for the Internet to work properly in your home. However, we must disable the router’s Wi-Fi functionality to protect your home from EMF.

Learn How to Disable Wi-Fi on Your Router

The challenge is that not all routers offered by Internet providers have this feature. So you’ll need to determine this first.

Nowadays, many internet providers and router manufacturers provide ways to change your router settings—either via a website or an app.

Most people don’t realize they pay a monthly Wi-Fi fee (5-10 bucks) to their Internet provider (at least in the States). After you complete Step 1, you can call and remove this fee.

If you need to purchase a new router, I believe all Netgear-branded routers offer complete functionality to control your Wi-Fi.

Alternatively, if you want to eliminate Wi-Fi as an option, you can purchase a wired router. There are plenty of affordable options on the market.

Three Options for Hardwiring Your Home

Based on your situation, you have three main options (that I’m aware of). You can use:

Ethernet cables connected directly to your router
Powerline ethernet adapters
Ethernet over coax adapters

Let’s review each option below.

Ethernet to USB Adapter

Option 1: Ethernet Cables Connected to Your Modem

This is the simplest approach.

You plug an ethernet cable into your router and connect it directly to your device (desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone).

For this solution, you need an ethernet cable and, in most cases, an adapter that connects the ethernet port to your device. For example, an ethernet to USB (pictured above) or ethernet to USB-C.

The USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter by TP-Link works for this application.

This option works fine for an individual living in a relatively small space who uses the Internet in one central location.

But it can get unruly with many wires if you’re in a big house with multiple people. In that case, we have option #2.

TP-Link Powerline Ethernet Adapters

Option 2: Powerline Ethernet Adapters (Best Option)

Powerline ethernet adapters will be the most practical and “cleaner” option for the majority.

A powerline ethernet adapter (pictured above) converts your home’s electrical wiring into a wired Internet network. It allows data to move through your home’s existing wires instead of using Wi-Fi.

It’s a “plug-and-play” setup too. You need a minimum of two adapters. One adapter plugs into a wall outlet near your router (which connects to the router via an ethernet cable).

Then, you plug another powerline adapter into a wall outlet near your device. Another ethernet cable (usually included in the kit) connects to your device.

If your device doesn’t have an ethernet port, you’ll need an ethernet to USB adapter like the one in Option 1.

A basic setup with just two adapters will cost less than $100.

I use TP-LINK’s AV1000 Powerline Adapters. But there are other options on the market if you want more speed. AV1000 provides up to 100 megabits per second. Other units provide up to 500 megabits per second.

Ethernet to Coax Network Adapter

Option 3: Ethernet Over Coax

There is a third setup option for those with cable-based internet.

You can hardwire your house using an ethernet-over-coax adapter.

Options include:

ScreenBeam MoCA 2.5 network adapter
Hitron Bonded MoCA 2.5 adapter

Here, you’re hardwiring your house for internet via the coax cables instead of the power lines.

I tried this option first, but couldn’t get it to work. The powerline option worked right out of the box and I suspect it will work best in most cases.

Note: If you can’t live without a Wi-Fi router, you can also search for a “low EMF wireless router”. JRS Eco Wireless makes one, and others may exist as well. However, I can’t speak to how much EMF protection they provide.

Signal Tamers by LessEMF

STEP 2: Cage Your Modem/Router | EMF Home Protection

I did this second step first. Before I learned about the powerline solution, I reduced the EMF from the router by “caging” it.

A router cage surrounds your modem/router with a material that suppresses radio-frequency radiation.

The material might be silver-plated nylon or stainless steel wire knitted with polyester.

Make sure the cover is wrapped completely around the modem/router. Tie it off around the wires in the back of the device(s).

You can make your router cage, or purchase one.

For example, Safe Living offers a Faraday Router Shielding Bag.

QuantaCase for Smartphones

STEP 3: Shield Your Smartphone | EMF Home Protection

Despite the average person’s daily behavior with their phone, smartphones are not your friend.

As Arthur Firstenberg, author of The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life, explains:⁸

If you hold a cell phone in your hand, against your head, your brain is getting 100 times more radiation from the cell phone than it probably gets from the nearest cell tower. If you put the cell tower on a table, 3 feet away (1 meter), you’re only getting 10 times more radiation from the cell phone than you are from the cell tower.

Using an EMF meter on your smartphone is highly revealing. You’ll likely be mortified at the level of radiation from these devices.

You’ll notice massive spikes in RF radiation every two to five seconds. This occurs every time the device tries to ping a local cell tower or a Wi-Fi router.

The Biological Effects of Carrying a Smartphone

A 2018 study by the National Toxicology Program on rats and mice exposed to radio-frequency radiation from 2G and 3G cellphone networks found clear evidence linking tumors in the hearts of male rats.⁹

Based on the blood test images presented above, these results are expected.

Most notably, especially for men, carrying a smartphone in your pocket dramatically reduces your sperm count within a few hours.¹⁰

The clear connection between cell phones and sperm count has been known for over 15 years.

I stopped using a smartphone many years ago. These devices are not allowed in my home.

I still have an old model in case of emergencies or if I need to use it for two-factor verifications. But this phone is on less than an hour or two per year.

EMF Phone Protection (EMF Cases)

I realize this behavioral change will be unfathomable for many readers. If that’s true for you, you’ll want to invest in a verified EMF protection phone case.

However, most popular EMF phone cases aren’t overly effective. Smartphones emit radiation mainly from every angle, but especially from the front and back of the device. Yet, many EMF protection cases only protect the back of your phone.

So if you want EMF phone protection that works, it must completely cover every angle of your phone. Consequently, you need an EMF case designed specifically to fit the make and model of your smartphone.

Three popular brands for EMF phone protection cases are:

DefenderShield
SafeSleeve
QuantaCase

QuantaCase by RFsafe is not as popular as the two mainly because they aren’t as skillful at marketing. But it’s potentially the best case on the market. (It’s what I have.)

EMF Protection vs Risk

To be fair, two EMF radiation scientists, Dimitris J. Panagopoulos and George P. Chrousos, analyzed the shielding methods from various companies and ultimately suggested avoiding these phone shields.¹¹

However, I suspect the issue lies more in the phone case design used in their analysis than the concept itself.

You can test the efficacy of an EMF phone case with an EMF meter. Be sure to place the EMF meter at every angle of the covered phone to test for “leakage”.

Shut Off Bluetooth

Finally, make sure Bluetooth is permanently disabled in your phone settings.

Test the RF radiation levels with your EMF meter when Bluetooth is on.

If you currently use wireless earbuds, test them too. (Watch the quick video above for an illustration.)

Then, determine if you want to subject your brain to this level of radiation between your ears.

(Wired headphones still work but they still send EMF into your head. Find a pair of “Air Tube Headphones” if you want additional EMF protection.)

Smart Meter

STEP 4: Shield Your Smart Meter | EMF Home Protection

Thankfully, not every house has a “smart meter.” But if you do, and you are concerned about EMF protection, this should be a top priority.

A smart meter looks like a regular electricity meter on the side of your home, but it’s “smart.” That is, it records energy consumption, voltage levels, current, and power and transmits this information to the electricity supplier.

While smart meters may seem innocent, they are an egregious attack on humanity. These devices emit many orders of magnitude more radiation than your smartphone.

I highly recommend watching the 2017 documentary, Take Back Your Power, which exposed the smart meter industry. (It’s free to stream.)

The level of microwave radiation from a smart meter is substantially more than your smartphone.

Years ago, I slept at a friend’s house. I couldn’t sleep because it felt like my brain was being squeezed inside a vice. In the morning, I walked around to the side of the house next to my bedroom wall. And there was the offender: a smart meter.

Smart Meter EMF Protection Cover

How to Shield Your Home From a Smart Meter

Unfortunately, effective shielding for smart meters isn’t easy. While EMF protection covers for these meters exist, I don’t see how they can be effective.

A smart meter cover may protect you if you’re standing outside in front of the meter, but not in your home.

The radiation from the meter is emitted through the wall.

So to shield you from this radiation, you would need sufficient shielding material on the interior wall of your home opposite the meter.

You can purchase a superstrong RF shielding material like AL60 Wall Shield and do it yourself.

Additionally, make sure no one’s bed is within at least 10 feet of the wall with the smart meter.

(Personally, if my home had a smart meter attached to it, and the electric company refused to replace it with a regular meter, I would move.)

Amazon’s Echo (“Smart Device”)

STEP 5: Ditch Your “Smart” Devices | EMF Home Protection

I’m sure you see the pattern now.

“Smart” devices are dumb. They continuously emit harmful EMF radiation in your home that you can’t protect against.

If you use an EMF meter near these devices, you’ll notice a sharp spike in RF radiation every few seconds as the device attempts to communicate with your Wi-Fi router.

As an important aside, all these devices track and record your behavior (especially your smartphone). Your devices then upload and store your data in the cloud, owned by the product manufacturer and/or service provider.

For whatever reason, many people are conditioned not to value their privacy. It’s an odd manifestation to witness in the modern world, but so it goes…

If you’re serious about EMF protection for your home, ditch all your smart devices.

Also, be careful when purchasing new appliances. As part of the push for the “Internet of Things,” manufacturers are making “smart” appliances. (Do you really need your appliances “communicating” with each other?)

If you’re purchasing a Wi-Fi-enabled device or appliance, ensure there’s a way to disable this feature. Also, use your EMF meter to confirm that Wi-Fi is switched off.

The De-Evolution of the Light Bulb

STEP 6: Swap Out Your “Efficient” Bulbs | EMF Home Protection

By completing steps 1 through 5, you have likely eliminated up to 90% of the RF (radio frequency/microwave) radiation within your home. (External factors outside of your control including nearby cell towers.)

Next, we address the electrical and magnetic energy fields emitting throughout your home.

You know all those “highly efficient” and “energy saving” CFL and white LED bulbs that were marketed to us?

Well, not only is this artificial white light harmful to our biology, but in most cases, it also produces EMF called “dirty electricity”.

Insiders in the industry call it “junk light.” This artificial lighting is filled with far more toxic chemicals than incandescent bulbs. Also, most LEDs lack natural light frequencies.

White LEDs amplify blue light while reducing or eliminating infrared and red light in sunlight. This is the exact opposite of what you want!

I cover this topic in more detail in this guide on how to block blue light.

So remove this junk light from your home. Swap them with low-wattage incandescent or halogen bulbs while you can still find them. You can also look into “full spectrum lighting.”

Also, anything with a dimmer switch is likely emitting excess dirty electricity (EMF). Remove these dimmer switches as well.

Whole House EMF SAFE Switch with Dirty Electricity Filter

STEP 7: Take Control of Your House Grid | EMF Home Protection

Finally, we come to the EMF produced by the house itself.

A series of wires with a 60-hertz frequency runs through every wall in a modern home, continuously emitting non-native EMF.

Many electro-sensitive individuals can either feel this EMF and/or are adversely affected by it.

Additionally, the appliances and devices plugged into the outlets extend the EMF further into the room—even when turned off.

If your bed is next to a wall, the 60-hertz frequency and any related dirty electricity are emanating through your body as you sleep.

If you have a coiled mattress, the metal springs can potentially amplify surrounding EMF.

This type of EMF is difficult to mitigate, assuming you want power in your home. However, there IS a to mitigate it—especially when you sleep.

Install an Electrical “Sleep Switch” as an EMF Cut-Off

The best option is to completely switch off the power before sleeping. This is hands-down the best EMF protection for your home for electro-magnetic exposure.

There are two approaches:

1. Isolate the fuses associated with your bedroom (outlets and lights) and switch them off before going to sleep.
2. Install an EMFSafe Cut-Off Switch with additional dirty electricity filters. (Use code “CEOSAGE” to receive a discount.)

An EMFSafe Cut-Off Switch enables you to custom wire your home and turn off the electrical current running through your bedroom and other designated zones.

Before ordering this type of switch, use a body voltage meter to determine how much voltage runs through your body when you’re in bed.

In my case, shutting the electricity in the outlets and lighting wasn’t enough. The wires running below my bedroom in the basement were producing an EMF field in the bed. I had to shut all of those circuits off for the body voltage meter to drop down to an acceptable level.

Is it worth the effort? In my opinion, absolutely. The improvement in my sleep quality was reason alone. Plus, the body can relax and restore itself—something that can’t happen when you have non-native voltage/EMF running through it.

Especially if you’re electro-sensitive, creating a sleep sanctuary may be essential for a restful and restorative sleep.

EMF Protection for Your Home FAQ

Now, let’s run through additional questions you might have about EMF protection for your home.

Below, we’ll address:

What about EMF protection for an apartment?
Is there additional EMF protection for the bedroom?
How do you mitigate dirty electricity?
Do crystals and minerals provide EMF protection?
Does shungite provide EMF protection?
Does orgonite help reduce EMF radiation?
Do any EMF protection pendants, chips, or devices work?
Why aren’t EMF protection products the answer?
If EMF is so dangerous, why doesn’t everyone know about it?

We’ll cover numerous EMF protection devices and products on the market and discuss whether or not they work.

What about EMF protection for an apartment?

An apartment often poses additional EMF hazards one needs to address. You can follow all the steps listed above, but if your neighbor has a Wi-Fi router on an adjacent wall, you may still be exposed to high RF radiation levels.

In addition to the above steps, the best EMF protection strategy may be to use additional shielding.

For example, a product like AL60 Wall Shield can be applied to the adjacent wall. Alternatively, there are various EMF shielding paints on the market like CUPRO-COTE and Y-Shield paint.

Then, you can purchase a ground kit designed to ground indoor flat surfaces like walls painted with the above products.

EMF Bed Canopy

What about EMF protection for the bedroom?

The bedroom requires additional care as EMF disrupts our sleep patterns.

Remove all devices from the bedroom. If you have a wireless router, shut it off (unplug it) before sleep. Keep your smartphone off and at least 10 feet from your bed.

Next, your body should not be within at least a foot of the nearest outlet. Ideally, move your bed a foot from the nearest wall.

You can also purchase a bed canopy if you live in an apartment and want additional EMF protection for sleeping.

EMF bed canopies are made of RF shielding material like silver. These bed canopies are pricey because they require a lot of EMF shielding fabric.

Alternatively, you can purchase the raw material and stitch an EMF bed canopy together yourself.

Also, as mentioned above, a coiled mattress can amplify the EMF field. Especially if you’re in an environment where it’s difficult to control EMF levels (like an apartment complex), consider switching to a natural mattress.

Finally, you can also use an earthing bed sheet to help mitigate the effects of EMF. But only do this after you have followed the steps above—if at all.

However, the electricity cut-off switch option I discussed above in Step 7 is the best solution.

How do you mitigate dirty electricity?

“Dirty electricity” (DE) is the noise in an electrical power supply. It’s another common form of electrical pollution, sometimes called “electrical noise” or “voltage transients.”

Anything that converts AC power to DC power can cause dirty electricity. Common devices that cause dirty electricity include light dimmer switches, computers, solar power installations, music and gaming consoles, televisions, smart appliances, Wi-Fi routers, and blenders. Inverters are another common culprit.

Measuring dirty electricity in your home requires an EMI meter (which only provides an approximation).

I’m aware of three options for mitigating dirty electricity:

Stetzerizer® Filters
Greenwave Filters
Whole House DE Filters

Stetzerizer and Greenwave offer DE filters that plug into electrical outlets. They work, however, they are fairly expensive given the number of filters needed for the average-sized home. (You generally need about two filters per room. (I installed Greenwave filters in my home about a decade ago.)

However, if you’re going to invest in the EMF cut-off switch I mentioned in Step 7, you’re better off going with EMFSafe’s whole-house PQFilter.

Shungite Slab

Do crystals and minerals provide EMF protection?

Numerous crystals and minerals are said to have EMF protection qualities.

These crystals and minerals include:

Hematite
Black Tourmaline
Shungite
Pyrite
Citrine
Rose Quartz
Amazonite
Smoky Quartz

All these crystals and others are often used in orgonite (below) to boost its EMF protection properties.

I’ll address the limitations of crystals and minerals for EMF home protection below.

Does shungite provide EMF protection?

Shungite is a particular mineral worth highlighting.

I have seen quick tests with Shungite using EMF meters that do suggest it has genuine EMF shielding capabilities. For example:

Shungite is a rare black stone mainly found in a village in Karelia, Russia. Shungite offers numerous healing properties.¹²

Shungite’s carbon fullerenes appear to absorb or filter harmful electromagnetic fields.

An older 2003 study on rats suggests this mineral provides shielding from electromagnetic irradiation.¹³

Another older study suggested that shungite reduces the level of EMF radiation with a frequency range of 10 to 30 GHz and electric fields of 50 Hz (used in power lines).¹⁴

However, you would need a lot of shungite as a standalone EMF protection for your home. (I keep chunks of shungite on my desk and next to the router.)

That said, of the different EMF protection products I’m covering here, shungite is the one I would recommend.

Shungite is available as solid pieces, pendants, bracelets, pyramids for your home, and more. (Just make sure it’s real shungite from Shunga village.)

Flourite Orgone Pyramid

Does orgonite help reduce EMF radiation?

Orgone was a theory proposed by Austrian physician and psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich (1897 – 1957). Reich considered orgone to be a kind of life force energy or etheric energy, but also closely associated with sexual energy.

He invented numerous devices like the Orgone energy accumulator that reportedly helped remove cancer.

Karl Welz invented orgonite in the early 1990s based on Reich’s research. Orgonite is made from various metal powders/filings, minerals, stones, and crystals encased in resin.

Orgonite is believed to have EMF protection benefits, and many claims are made about its benefits. Many individuals make orgonite as “tower busters” and place them by cell towers and other EMF-dense environments.

However, I’m not aware of anyone who has substantiated these claims.

That said, orgonite is a kind of art form. And many of the creations artists make are quite beautiful. I have orgonite pieces all over and around my home—especially my home office. I even made a bunch of them myself years ago.

While they seem to produce a “warming” effect, I do not consider Orgonite a standalone solution for EMF protection for the home. (I explain why below.)

Do any EMF protection pendants, chips, stickers, or devices work?

As more people became aware of EMF’s harmful effects, many businesses appeared, offering attractive-looking solutions.

The marketplace is now flooded with countless trinkets: “EMF radiation protection chips” that adhere to your smartphone and “EMF pendants” you wear. They all have incredible claims that come with their products.

I understand the appeal for EMF protection pendants. I bought my first one back in 1995. I still occasionally carry it in my pocket when I leave the house.

Similar to shungite, they probably do absorb a certain level of EMF.

However, as a standalone option, these pendants, chips, and devices are insufficient for EMF protection.

In my opinion, they represent a way of “addressing the problem” without actually dealing with it.

These trinkets provide an illusion of security while your body is still flooded with RF radiation. And I suspect that intuitively, everyone knows this.

Why aren’t EMF protection products the answer?

Watch the one-minute clip I embedded above where the man tests shungite next to a wireless router using an EMF test meter.

It’s a compelling demonstration. It suggests that shungite absorbs the radiation.

But here’s why caution is needed: EMF acts as a field. It floods an area—including the human body—based on a particular frequency range.

Consequently, how much EMF protection can a one-inch pendant have resting on your chest or stuck on your phone?

How much EMF protection can orgonite or some high-priced, fancy EMF device provide in your home?

Do you see the problem here? That’s why I said these trinkets are a way of addressing the EMF problem without solving it.

The best EMF protection for your home—and you—is to reduce or eliminate EMF emitting from your devices.

If EMF radiation is so dangerous, why doesn’t everyone know about it?

Knowing your shadow is vital to understanding why. Instead of thinking about people and institutions as “good” or “bad,” evaluate them in terms of interest.

Humans are mostly self-interested creatures. The individuals involved in these industries are following their self-interests—in this case, money and profits.

So where are the incentives to educate the public about EMF dangers?

Big Tech. Small Tech. Telecom. We’re talking about multi-trillion-dollar industries.

Similar to the tobacco industry in the 40s through the 60s, big money kept the general population in the dark.

Do you think the legacy media is going to discuss this topic? They are largely funded by these industries (and are largely owned by the same group of individuals with similar interests).

The “official narrative” is that EMF is “safe and effective.” And it will likely stay that way.

These industries have almost zero oversight. Big players bride politicians to proceed with new technology rollouts (like 5G) without evaluating the health risks.¹⁵

But the main issue isn’t corporate greed or political corruption. It’s all of us and our ignorance. We have blindly accepted this digital rollout without sufficient investigation, skepticism, or due diligence.

Now, the average person appears hopelessly addicted to their wireless devices and the so-called “convenience” it brings. Sad indeed.

EMF, Electro-Sensitivity, and the Future of Humanity

Electro-sensitivity is a relatively new term for people who experience strong adverse reactions and symptoms when exposed to EMF.

The technical term is “electrohypersensitivity,” and naturally, the medical field is labeling it a new “neurological pathological disorder.”¹⁶

It’s not. It’s also not a form of hysteria.

An estimated 3.5% of the world’s population currently has electromagnetic hypersensitivity, also called “electrical sensitivity” or Microwave Sickness.

As we covered in the research above, man-made EMF is highly destructive to human biology. (Search for neurosurgeon Jack Kruse online and watch any of his interviews for a deep dive.)

Even with the rollout of 2nd generation (2G) cellular technology, millions of people were getting sick. And now, they are up to 5G and beyond.

Death by a Thousand Cuts

If this is true, why doesn’t everyone feel these harmful effects? Why aren’t people falling over in the streets?

If we continue our present course with the rollout of 5G, 6G, 7G, etc. that may be exactly what happens.

But for now, current levels of EMF radiation don’t work that way. It’s more of a “death by a thousand cuts.”

It disrupts the body’s energetic fields, sapping our chi and slowly weakening our immune system.

However, a growing number of individuals are reaching a point where they can’t tolerate EMF.

Exposure to high levels of EMF (which is everywhere) immediately makes them sick. Hence, “electrohypersensitives.”

Is something wrong with these individuals? Or are they just more tuned into their bodies?¹⁷

Is Humanity Following an Invisible Pied Piper?

If what it is to be human is associated with the physical body and the vital energy within it, then I would argue man-made EMF cannot—in any way—be considered a “blessing” to humanity.

How can something so destructive to biology and nature be considered “progress”? How could this movement possibly be “evolutionary”?

In my opinion, it seems more accurate to state that man-made EMF represents a treacherous attack on humanity.

It’s worth noting that technologies related to 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G are all “inventions” of the military-industrial complex.¹⁸

As Arthur Firstenberg explains:¹⁹

2G caused enormous health problems. It injured millions. It caused the influenza epidemic of 1996 through 1997. It killed at least 10,000 in the US in a matter of months according to statistics from the Center for Disease Control. If you understand that bandwidth means radiation then you can begin to grasp the enormity of 5G.

As such, the death by a thousand cuts will only accelerate IF we remain on our present course.

The Precarious Road Ahead for Humanity

Over a century ago, Austrian scientist Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) warned us of the damaging effects of electricity on all life.

Consider that the level of radiation in Steiner’s time was substantially less than today. Yet, even in 1923, he stated:²⁰

Today you can travel far and wide, but you can never get so far away that these electric cables do not follow you. They are continuously inducing currents in you … All this robs human beings of their physical body, it brings the physical body into a condition in which the soul simply cannot enter into it. We must be quite clear about this: in the days when there were no electric currents, when there were no electric wires buzzing in the air, it was easier to be human.

Countless studies have now confirmed Steiner’s insights from over a century ago.²¹

Ignorance and destructive ideology seem to be leading humanity astray. Will we correct our course?

How to Change Your Digital-Related Habits

The biggest challenge with EMF protection is that it requires effort to change our habits.

We were conditioned to embrace a wireless world just as past generations were programmed to smoke commercial cigarettes and drink poisonous soda.

Once that conditioning sticks, making changes requires willpower and discipline.

Educating yourself on EMF is helpful as it can change your association with your devices.

Many people seem to have a positive association with their devices. They exhibit classic addictive behaviors related to their devices.

For example, the average person checks their phone approximately 150 times daily.²²

These devices act as drugs as they trigger dopamine just like any addictive behavior.

After you conduct your own EMF research (if you haven’t already), you can begin making small, daily changes. Hardwiring your house and removing Wi-Fi isn’t difficult and doesn’t take long.

However, changing your phone and screen habits is another story—especially for the younger generations born into digital chaos.

These behavioral changes are possible and they are entirely worth the effort.

EMF Protection From Within

This guide ran long, and I suspect it may have been overwhelming for some readers.

I think the main reason people remain ignorant of the harmful effects of EMF is because they are divorced from their bodies.

That is, the digital landscape is attractive when you live mainly in your mind. It’s easy to form an attachment to the black mirror (screen) and passively enter the digital ether. (This is what I believe has happened to much of humanity.)

However, as you reforge your connection with the body, integrate the body-mind, and reawaken your instincts, the appeal of the digital world lessens. (Then, the digital ether becomes a tool you use when needed.)

The more sensitive you become to your subtle energy field, the more pronounced the effects of EMF become.

Consequently, you’ll naturally begin to moderate your screentime and reduce your exposure to EMF without applying extreme levels of discipline.

Spending more time in nature and grounding yourself on the Earth is highly supportive too!
