After five years, my husband and I learned that we had high frequencies on our wiring, which came from fluorescent lights, electronics, variable speed frequency drives (used by heating systems, milking machines and other common appliances) on our electrical grid.

As an experiment, we turned our circuits off at night. Almost immediately, I woke feeling well rested. Many symptoms went away. A week later, I woke full of despair again. I figured that my week of feeling better was a fluke. Then, when a light switch went on, I realized that my husband had forgotten to turn off the circuits the night before.

My private "blind" study showed that electrical pollution affects my health. We installed a dielectric union in the water pipes to prevent electric current from getting onto our water line. We got a gas stove and shut off all non-essential power. After my health improved, my husband and I had two wonderful children.

In 2009, our electric company began installing AMR transmitting utility meters in our area. Immediately, our home's RF levels increased, even though we had no transmitting meter and no near neighbors.

In 2010, our younger son began waking in the middle of the night, sweating profusely. His heartbeat would change from overly fast to slow and irregular, and finally to extremely slow and irregular. I felt lucky to know that RF signals can cause cardiac arrhythmias, including in children.

Realizing that neither our public service commission nor our utility company would mitigate the high frequency fields coming into our house on the utility wiring, and that we could lose our son, we went off-grid. We installed a gravity flow hot water heating system, a solar system and a well pump and sump pumps that operate with direct current. We got a propane refrigerator and battery-operated camping lights. Our computer runs off of our battery bank, and we only use it when the bank is not charging. For Internet access, we dial up. Because the washing machine requires the generator (and its use puts high frequencies on our wiring), everyone gets out of the house at laundry time. We dry our clothes on the line outside.

A DC solar system has restored our family's health.

Paul Harding, EMF consultant, www.totalemfsolutions.com Identifying sources of EMR and cleaning up electrical problems is time-consuming and complex. I start by locating wiring errors and "noise" with GigaHertz Solutions meters--an NFA 1000 for ELFs and magnetic fields, and an HFE 59B for RF fields. I aim to get the fields in a building as close as possible to the Earth's electromagnetic fields, including in a solar-powered home. Once the house is cleaner electrically, I routinely see peoples' sleep improve, headaches go away, even blood sugar levels normalize.
