Geopathic stress and cancer: an introduction
Dr Ernst Hartmann, MD, wrote that "Cancer is a disease of location
triggered off by geopathic stress. We all produce cancerous cells on a
regular basis, but they are continuously destroyed by our body's immune
system. Geopathic stress does not cause cancer, but weakens our immune
system."
Geopathic influences may indeed be among the most neglected
contributing or causative agents for cancer and other disease. Contrary
to what some may assume, geopathic stress is not a “question of belief”,
but an area which has been studied in-depth over millennia and today
includes scientifically measurable and “respectable” quantities and
factors such as electrosmog (electrical field, magnetic field,
electromagnetic fields as those emanating from high-voltage power lines,
electric cables, electrical appliances and synthetic materials) and
high frequency pollution (mobile [cell] phone antenna, mobile [cell]
phone radiation, DECT telephones, hotspot/WLAN, radar). The latter are
also referred to as technopathic stress.
In recent times, there are a few well-known German (and Austrian)
researchers in the field of “water veins” or earth radiation who
collaborated with supervising physicians and others to carefully record
and ascertain the correctness and stringency of observed correlations
between disease - particularly cancer - and geopathic stress influences
from earth radiation (such as Käthe Bachler
[1]).
An official confirmation and endorsement was published in 1985 by Dr.
Veronika Carstens MD (wife of former German Federal President Karl
Carstens): Dr. Carstens authored a study stating that there were
700
cases documented world-wide where terminal cancer patients had regained
their health without any conventional treatment after their sleeping
area had been moved from a geopathic stress zone. All of these cancer patients had been “given up” by their doctors.
Due to the vastness of the subject, this page necessarily gives a general introduction and overview only.
What is geopathic stress?
(Types of ground or earth radiation, plus modern "technopathic" stress)
Geopathic Stress is a synoptic generic term designating the effects of
Water veins (underground streams) – running water only
Geological fault lines – differences in soil density
Benker cube – named after its German discoverer Manfred Benker
Curry lines - a global grid network of electrically charged
lines of natural origin. These lines run diagonally to the poles (true
or magnetic?) and were first discovered by Dr. Wittmann, then published
by Dr Manfred Curry. The Curry Net grid forms 3.5m x 3.5m squares and
runs from South/West to North/East and in reverse.
Hartmann net or Hartmann Lines – a global grid named after
Dr Ernst Hartmann MD, a well regarded German medical doctor, who first
described it soon after the second world war. The Hartmann net consists
of naturally occurring charged lines, running North-South and East-West.
Alternate lines are usually positively and negatively charged, so where
the lines intersect it is possible to have double positive charges and
double negative charges, or one positive and one negative charge. It is
the intersections that are seen to be a source of potential problems,
such as when someone’s bed or workplace happens to be above such a
critical intersection - a so-called geopathic stress zone - the person
concerned is liable to suffer from sleep disturbances and over time
develop disease. The Hartmann Net appears as a structure of radiations
rising vertically from the ground like invisible, radioactive walls,
each 21 centimetres (9 inches) wide and encountered at intervals of 2
metres (6 feet 6 inches), while from East to West they are 2.5 metres (8
feet) apart (the Hartmann Net has a different pattern than the Curry
Net). The grid is magnetically orientated, from North to South. Between
these geometric lines lies a neutral zone, an unperturbed micro-climate.
This network penetrates everywhere, whether over open ground or through
dwellings.
Radioactivity – may emanate from the soil
According to a definition proposed by the Dulwich Health Society,
”Geopathic stress is natural radiation which rises up through the earth
and is distorted by weak electro-magnetic fields created by subterranean
running water, certain mineral concentrations, fault lines and
underground cavities. The wavelengths of the natural radiation disturbed
in this way become harmful to living organisms.”
EMF - As mentioned before, “modern” man-made influences such
as high-voltage power lines, electric cables, electrical appliances,
synthetic materials etc. are also included within the “geopathic stress”
group even if they may be referred to as technopathic stress to
distinguish them from the natural, i.e. non-man-made sources listed
above. This includes the negative impact of cell-phone transmitter
stations in one's vicinity (including cordless DECT stations in one's
own home as well as mobile phones usage and smart meters). For more
information, see
"Pseudogeopathic stress"
A term I first saw mentioned in Erika Herbst's book "Die Heilkunst
von Morgen" [The Healing Arts of Tomorrow"], pseudogeopathic stress
particularly refers to unhealthful energetic "impulses" and charges
deriving from and built up by artificial man-made materials we use and
keep in our close proximity, particularly in our bedroom and workplace.
According to Erika Herbst's research, this pseudogeopathic stress
nowadays accounts for the vast majority of negative (disease-promoting)
influences emanating from geopathic stress. See further down "
How to minimize pseudogeopathic and technopathic stress".

About this time, Gottfried v. Straßburg (Middle High German minstrel of

Dowsers were employed during the 30 Years War to track down treasures.
Middle Ages
The divining rod (wunsciligerta) finds frequent mention in the
Nibelungenlied. Minnesinger Wolfram von Eschenbach mentions the divining
rod in his “Parzival”.
Generally, this lore was wide-spread in Europe in medieaval times
(where it had been passed down, among other channels, as the art of
geomancy from the Celts). Later, as the so-called exact sciences set out
to conquer the world, dowsing was dismissed as mumbo jumbo. In more
recent times, it was reintroduced to the West as part of the Chinese art
of Feng Shui - even our scientists have turned their attention to this
subject again.
1914 - 1918
Dowsers and diviners were used on all fronts of World War I to detect water, caves and duds.
1929
In January, German scientist Baron Gustav von Pohl, a talented dowser
who believed that earth radiation affected tree growth, animal behaviour
and human health, set out to officially prove that cancer deaths only
occurred in people who had been sleeping in beds positioned above a
powerful “water vein” (underground stream). In collaboration with the
Berlin Centre for Cancer Research, Baron von Pohl investigated, i.e.
dowsed and recorded his findings in the town of Vilsbiburg in Southern
Germany. Using his own ‚Pohl‘ scale of earth radiation, the scientist
mapped earth energy lines in the town, then compared them to the records
of the district hospital. It was found that
every single one of
the 48 recently recorded cancer deaths had occurred in people who had
been sleeping in beds standing exactly above one of the powerful “water
veins” (underground streams) Pohl had mapped before seeing the medical
records . The then district physician Dr. Bernhuber MD confirmed the accuracy of von Pohl’s stated correlations (
read the original German minutes
of the “Inspection of the Market Vilsbiburg on the 13th, 14th, 15th,
16th, 17th, 18th and 19th January 1929 by firstly the honorouble first
Mayor J. Brandl, police superintendent Fischer (on the afternoon of the
13th January), Constable Schachtner (every afternoon, the 13th January
excepted), Christian Lechner sen., Lebzelter (on the 13th Jan.), Georg
Brandl (on the 13th January) and secondly the divining rod explorer
Baron Gustav von Pohl, Dachau-Unteraugustenfeld, drawn up under official
supervision” and signed by the town’s mayor.)
With this officially supervised investigation, von Pohl
furnished incontrovertible proof
that all cancer deaths of the previous years registered in the Lower
Bavarian town of Vilsbiburg concerned people who had been sleeping above
a powerful “water vein”, with no exception to this rule.
1930
The Berlin Centre for Cancer Research accepted Pohl's findings and
published the information in their July journal, positing that earth
radiation could be a causative factor in cancer.
Pohl published a book on his work (“Earth Currents as Pathogenic Agents
for Illess and the Development of Cancer”, currently out of print) and a
number of German doctors began working with the material to help their
patients.
1935 to 1953
Pohl's work was further advanced by the German/American doctor Manfred
Curry. Curry was head of a research clinic in Southern Germany and
investigated the earth energy phenomenon. From his work on the impact of
weather on humans and human energy fields, Curry discovered an energy
net that affected human energy levels and even had an impact on blood
sedimentation rates. It became known as the Curry Net. Curry became so
skilled in detecting the Curry Net that he could diagnose a patient
simply by doing a site test and knowing where the patient's bed was
positioned. He knew that where the energy lines intersected in a knot
formation, cancers would manifest.
1950
A German medical doctor, Ernst Hartmann MD, was dowsing for water and
discovered what became known as the Hartmann Net. Hartmann, who
published two books on the noxious impact of energy lines (Krankheit als
Standortproblem Bd. 1 + Bd. 2), spent decades researching the
phenomenon. He found that if people worked or slept over the meridians
of earth energy, they could suffer heart attacks, insomnia, chronic
asthma, migraines, backaches and cancers. He discovered that constantly
disturbed and crying babies would settle immediately when their cot was
moved. He further found that sleeping on a North/South line made people
prone to cramps and rheumatism, with an East/West line making them prone
to inflammations. But most notably, he documented three generations of a
family who all slept in the same bed in the same house where two
Hartmann lines intersected and who had all died of stomach cancer.
Starting in 1953, Ernst Hartmann published observations on the
connection between the incidence of unexplainable diseases and earth
radiations, recording his experiences from a medical viewpoint.
Up
until his death in 1993, Dr. Hartmann had been searching for a cancer
patient whose bed was not affected by noxious earth rays – without
finding a single one.
1970s
Austrian schoolteacher and dowser Käthe Bachler started one of the most
extensive and recent research projects into the earth radiation
phenomenon. Working in collaboration with medical doctors, Käthe Bachler
dowsed over 3,000 sleep and work places in 14 countries interviewing
11,000 people. In next to all unexplainable cases, they found earth rays
to be the cause of the disease. Not only did she find that 95% of the
‘problem’ children that she investigated slept in beds or worked at
desks placed at harmful sites, but she also checked
500 cancer cases; every one was found to be sleeping over harmful radiation.
1970
During the Vietnam war, the US Americans called in radiesthetists to find hideouts, caves and mines.
1985
Dr. Veronika Carstens MD (wife of former German Federal President Karl
Carstens) published a study stating that there were 700 cases documented
world-wide in which terminal cancer patients had regained their health
without any conventional treatment after their sleeping area had been
moved from a geopathic stress zone. All of these cancer patients had
been “given up” by their doctors.
Symptoms of geopathic stress
Geopathic stress apparently does not CAUSE any illness, but lowers
one’s immunity, exerting a weak, but continuous stress on DNA. According
to the Dulwich Health Society, ”the most common indications of GS are:
resistance to medical treatment, a feeling of being run-down and
exhausted, depression, nervousness, loss of appetite, pallor and allergy
to food, affected by electricity and not absorbing the necessary
vitamins and minerals. Not wanting to go to bed and when in bed:
insomnia, restless sleep, feeling cold, cramps, tingling in arms and
legs, sleep walking, grinding of teeth, nightmares and fatigue and muzzy
head in the morning. Children are often bed wetting and babies
continuously crying.”
Dulwich Health Society, USA, studied over 25,000 people with ill
health and concluded that the following groups are Geopathically
Stressed (GS):
100% of people who get SECONDARY CANCER.
95% of people who get CANCER were sleeping and/or working in a GS place before or at the time the cancer was diagnosed.
95% of children who are HYPERACTIVE, have LEARNING DISABILITIES or are DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.
95% of people who get Aids.
80% of parents/caregivers who ABUSE CHILDREN.
80% of DIVORCES are by one or both partners being GS.
80% of couples who CANNOT HAVE BABIES, one or both are GS.
80% of women who have a miscarriage.
80% of babies who died of COT DEATH.
70% of M.E. (Post Viral Fatigue) sufferers.
70% of people who are ALLERGIC TO FOOD/DRINK.
How to detect geopathic stress zones in your home
Apart from calling in professional help such as dowsers,
radiesthetists or geomancers who perform an analysis of geopathic stress
and/or electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) present in your environment,
there are some measures you can take yourself:
Baron Gustav von Pohl discovered that cats and insects were attracted
to areas of earth radiation - cats sleep on such spots, bees and ants
will nest there. So one of the simplest indicators pointing to the
presence of a geopathic stress zone can be found in the behaviour of
animals. If a certain spot is your cat’s favourite resting place, avoid
it - dogs by the way, naturally do.
(The following is copied from Suzy Chiazzari, Copyright (c) 2000, Adapted from The Healing Home)
“When the natural electromagnetic field in the ground is disturbed,
energy can become distorted. This is known as geopathic stress.
In the home, geopathic stress can affect your health, especially if
you are sleeping over an underground stream or watercourse. Places
disturbed by negative energies can be very disruptive to sleep. If you
sleep near high-voltage power lines or even over domestic supply cables,
you will find that your sleep may be restless. If you find that your
sleepless nights have no apparent reason, you may do well to check for
underground disturbances.
There are three ways of checking the magnetic field in a room in your
home. These three are using a dowsing rod, a pendulum, and a compass.
Due to space constraints this article will just offer how to use a
compass.
Using a compass
Use a good compass. Turn it until the needle lies directly north and
move it slowly over the area to be dowsed. As the compass approaches an
area of disturbance, the needle will swing away from the north position.
As it is difficult to hold a compass steady, it is best used over a
small area like a bed, chair or sofa. Pass the compass over the area a
number of times from different directions to ensure accuracy when
pinpointing a disturbance.
Finding geopathic stress
To dowse for energy disturbances in the home, draw a plan of each room.
This does not have to be exact, but it is best to pace out the rooms,
so that you can pinpoint the spot where any disturbance may occur. If
your room is six paces by five, draw a rectangle on squared paper, using
one square per pace. You will need to make a number of passes across
the room or area in two directions which are at right angles to one
another so that you are forming a grid. Then walk diagonally across the
space.
Select a wall and start at the left-hand corner. Walk along the edge
of the room slowly and steadily holding the compass. Count your paces as
you move. If the compass moves from the north position, mark the spot
on your plan. Depending on the size of the room, move two paces to the
right and walk across the room again, marking any points where the
compass moves off true north. Once you have walked across the room in
several straight lines, move to an adjacent wall and start again. You
will be forming a grid. When you have completed this grid you can walk
diagonally from corner to corner in the same way.
Double check any points where you may have found disturbance. If they
are small, mark them in blue on your plan, but if they are major
disturbances mark them in red.
It may be that the metal frame in the furniture itself is the cause
of the disturbance so check the bed, chair or sofa again, passing the
compass carefully over it.”
A comment (written by a person with some dowsing experience) received
by Healing Cancer Naturally shows that not everyone will be successful
using the above “compass method”: “When testing the above method I was
unable to move in such a way as to not already induce a slight movement
of the needle at each step. Additionally I did not notice any additional
movement/deflection of the needle when walking across spots I had
previously determined to be water veins via normal dowsing."
For measuring EMFs (which requires an EMF meter), see
Electromagnetic fields and radiation (EMFs and EMRs): critical protection and avoidance measures.
Home-made remedies for geopathic stress
Metal in one‘s bed distorts beneficial earth radiations and increases
noxious ones. This phenomenon is not only measurable by dowsing (where a
human “detector” is required) but also ascertainable via an “objective”
FM/VHF field meter. In addition, the steel wires of innerspring
mattresses have an antenna effect.
If you‘ve found or feel that your bed is positioned over a geopathic
stress zone but are unable to shift it to a safer place (which would be
strongly recommended), it is possible to at least attenuate the noxious
impact. Do not use spring interiors or any other metal in your bed, but
hair mattresses and other natural materials such as wool and wood.
Incidentally, this also tallies with
Dr. Johanna Budwig‘s
and other naturopaths’ advice on using only natural non-metal materials
in bedding to support optimal health. Dr. Budwig also repeatedly
pointed to the importance of the electromagnetic field (or in a
worst-case scenario, electrosmog) surrounding the person.
There are numerous devices purported to be effective neutralizers of
geopathic stress influences (but they ain't necessarily at all).
Dr. A., a naturopathic physician, has this to say:
“The cancer patient needs to relocate - FAST! As early as the 1930s,
world-famous German surgeon Professor Dr. med. Ferdinand Sauerbruch told
all his cancer patients NEVER to return to their habitual sleeping
place.
For centuries it has been known that certain houses have a much higher incidence of cancer,
arthritis, multiple sclerosis and many other degenerative diseases.
Only in the 1970s was a satisfactory answer found; these diseases are
due to geopathogenic zones, which usually are caused by a conversion of
gravity field energy from radioactive radiation, electromagnetic
phenomena in the neighborhood of subterranean streams or even high power
lines or color TVs. Many times, a good dowser can locate these
anomalies and appropriate measures can be taken to correct the
situation.
As a first step, avoid the use of electric blankets, water beds, hair
dryers and any electric influences that generate an electrical field of
60 hertz (cycles per second). Only if the patient is removed from these
potentially damaging zones, does he/she have a maximum chance of
permanent and speedy recovery in conjunction with diet, lifestyle and
psychological modifications. It may be a bit presumptuous to say that
the above-mentioned geopathical zones CAUSE cancer, however, it is
possible that they CONTRIBUTE to the causation of cancer.”
Some of the easiest and most ingenious remedies against geopathic
stress from underground veins can be found in the highly recommended
books written by the late Father Thomas Häberle, two of which thankfully
have been translated into English. Titled "Helping & Healing" and
"Counselling & Curing", luckily, these books are available (and
inexpensively at that) via
Abebooks (more Abebook links for people in other countries at

How to minimize pseudogeopathic and technopathic stress
While it may sound like a "nature nut's" simplistic advice, it seems
imperative to avoid all plastic and metal materials in one's proximity.
In other words, to the extent possible, use only wool, cotton, silk,
wood and similar materials in your bedroom and workplace, and shift all
objects made of or containing artificial/metal materials from your
immediate surroundings to somewhere further away.
In this context (if you read German), Berta Eggersberger's book "Die
Wahrheit über 'Erdstrahlen' im Wohnbereich - Entstehung und Abhilfe" is a
must-read as well. According to Eggersberger's research, most buildings
nowadays no longer allow "earth radiation" through. Instead it is what
we put into our rooms (particularly objects made of metal and plastic)
that "recreate" the various types of earth radiation. Pure wool (such as
a blanket) laid over "offending" objects seems to be a particularly
"protective" substance.
The same of course goes for what we put directly on and into our
bodies: avoid all metals and artificial (plastic) materials (in fact
this is one of the reasons why
metals in teeth or the mouth in general are not advisable).
If you "take away" and implement just one piece of advice from this
page, minimizing pseudogeopathic stress definitely would be the one to
follow.
And the second major consideration is minimizing your exposure to EMFs, see
- Electromagnetic fields and radiation (EMFs and EMRs): critical protection and avoidance measures
- There is a critical link between EMF exposure and various diseases including cancer (see e.g. Studies on electromagnetic fields and radiation (EMFs/EMRs) & cancer risk),
so today taking proactive steps to protect one's health to the extent
possible must be ranked as a basic measure of "personal hygiene".
Most of the following crucial information on EMF protection measures
has been extracted and compiled from a lecture by physician Dr.
Dietrich Klinghardt to distil what is of general or specific interest to
cancer patients and anyone interested in cancer prevention and
maintenance of good health. It follows up from the more general advice
given in electromagnetic fields and detection, protection and avoidance measures. as well as the tips on "How to minimize pseudogeopathic stress" featured in the article discussing Geopathic stress and cancer.
While we are biologically harmed by the various EMFs bombarding us
"around the clock", it is at nighttime (during sleep) that the human
body is most vulnerable to incoming cell phone radiation as well as
other noxious energies. That's the time when the most damage is done
since the parasympathetic nervous system is active and the sympathetic
system is withdrawn, leaving the body defenseless. So while there are
general rules for EMF protection to be heeded at all times, there are
different measures to be taken for the night than for the day.
General EMF protection
- No cordless phone must be used in the house.
While the so-called smart meters
are probably the most pernicious when it comes to devastating health
effects, cordless phones (DECT stations) rank number two, in fact they
are even more detrimental than incoming cell phone tower radiation.
A cordless phone will broadcast a signal into any room that has
reception 24 hours of every day, and a very devastating type of
radiation at that. It destroys the same number of brain proteins
(compare studies) as the incoming radiation from outside cell-phone transmitter stations (towers, mobile phone masts).
- No wireless internet must be used in the house.
Wireless internet is another huge source of electropollution and HF fields. Use broadband and landlines instead.
- No energy-saving light bulbs (compact fluorescent lights) must be used in the house (they are "completely unacceptable").
Not only do they give off HF radiation wavelengths which are devastating
to brain and health, but they are also mercury-vapour-based.
The mercury frequency piggybacks on the light which entails the
following:
Any person with mercury exposure from dental amalgams, fish consumption
and/or other sources will have mercury stored in the safest possible
places of his or her body. The mercury frequency however, stirs up and
mobilises this stored-away mercury which is then displaced into the
vulnerable tissues of the body such as the brain and the spine, the
hormone-producing glands etc., with all the devastating effects which
ensue.
Additionally, energy-saving light bulbs can burst (as
has happened in Germany to " Herr B." who was paid off by the
manufacturer to keep silent in order to not disturb the lucrative
energy-saving light bulbs business. When this type of light bulb bursts,
the mercury and phosphorus gas contained "explode" into the
surroundings and damage (corrode) the lungs, possibly causing
irreparable destruction of parts of them!
Solution: go back to the (newly-called) heat lamps (previously known as
normal incandescent light bulbs), or invest in the (more expensive) LED
lights.
Nighttime EMF protection (particularly critical)
The patient must
- turn off all fuses at night (which decreases the "body voltage" induced by EMFs*).
All fuses being switched off means the breaker switch, the wireless
internet (which should not be used in the first place, see above), all
telephone support systems, alarm systems etc. are also switched off,
i.e. every appliance in the house. The dangerous smart meter probably won't get switched off (this depends on whether it runs on the same circuit or not).
Note: the easiest way to switch off all fuses in one go is a network circuit breaker.
- have protection from incoming cell phone radiation during sleep. For
this purpose, Dr. Klinghardt uses earthing pads for his patients (it is
carefully tested where to earth the wire).
- measure the density of the microwave radiation in his or her bed location using e.g. a Gigahertz solutions EMF meter:
any value above 5 microwatts per m2 is unaccepable. If the bed area
does show a higher reading, the patient must find a location where the
reading is within the acceptable range and shift their bed into that
position (this is by far the cheapest and typically easiest option).
Alternatively, EMF protection must be provided in the following ways:
a) by repainting the walls with a special protective paint containing
graphite fibre, carbon fibre and conductive particles. This (black)
paint creates a Faraday cage which additionally must be grounded to the
earth by wire.
b) by hanging EMF-shielding curtains over the windows (silver-coated
cloth that reflects incoming cell phone radiation back to the outside).
These two steps combined generally allow the radiation levels to be brought down to an acceptable range.
To illustrate the importance of the above, Dr. Klinghardt adds that
in his experience autistic children will only recover when the above
advice is followed to a T (while vitamins and behavioral therapy will
only show some minor effect), showing that protecting the sleeping area
is paramount.
* another instant way of dramatically reducing
EMF-induced body voltage (ascertainable by a simple voltmeter
measurement) is GROUNDING oneself such as by walking barefoot on the
grass or earth.
Daytime EMF protection
Electricity of course is required during the day but a measure of protection can be achieved by plugging so-called
Stetzer filters
(or Stetzerizer filters) into the electrical outlets. (At around 35 USD
a piece, these filters are relatively inexpensive.) Developed by Graham
Stetzer, the filters reduce the so-called dirty electricity. Canadian
Professor Magda Havas (Environmental and Resource Studies, Trent
University) has shown that stetzer filters lower the biological damage
that electromagnetic fields do to the human body, see e.g.
"Electromagnetic hypersensitivity: biological effects of dirty
electricity with emphasis on diabetes and multiple sclerosis" at
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/171785857/ and "Dirty Electricity and
Electrical Hypersensitivity: Five Case Studies" at
emfandhealth.com/HavasStetzerWHODirtyElectricityStudies.pdf .
Reducing electrosensitivity
While stritctly speaking, Dr. Klinghardt considers electrosensitivity
a myth since everyone is equally affected (even those who feel healthy -
compare
Smart meters),
perceived electrosensitivity can be explained by the antenna function
of the human body which will literally go on reception - that is, more
or less so depending on the body's mineral density, electrolyte and
water content and even its size, with larger and taller individuals more
easily "going on reception" than smaller ones.
Dr. Klinghardt's four-step strategy against electrosensitivity involves the following:
- Heavy metals detox to reduce the body's antenna function
First and foremost, the electrosensitive person must be detoxified, to
the extent possible, from heavy metals, reducing his or her mercury,
lead, nickel, cadmium etc. load stored in the bone marrow, fascial
membranes, connective tissue etc. This strategy has proven very
successful in reducing electrosensitivity. (Compare Dr. med. Dietrich Klinghardt M.D., Ph.D., On Effective Holistic Heavy Metal Detoxification.)
- Normalizing the insulation of the myelin sheath by
a) successfully treating the chronic infection
b) rebuilding the myelin
The shielding of the body's electric "wiring" is provided by
the myelin sheath surrounding the nerves. However in chronic infection,
especially in Lyme disease, this myelin sheath is greatly diminished.
The surface of the Lyme spirochetes (Borrelia species) has the same
surface markers as the myelin, so when the immune system looks for lyme
spirochetes it will also attack the myelin, thus gradually wearing the
insulation thin. In fact according to Dr. Klinghardt, chronic Lyme
patients are identical to electrosensitives and anyone considered highly
electrosensitive would be wise to have himself tested for Lyme since
the test most likely would show him to be positive.
Rebuilding and normalizing the myelin sheath is done using a host of measures such as amino acid IVs and many other things.
- Mushroom extracts from the well-known healing
mushrooms such as maitake, shiitake etc. possess unique protective
properties against electrosensitivity and create an increased ability to
tolerate electric fields in affected individuals. Dr. Klinghardt first
noticed that these mushrooms thrive in electropolluted environments
which inspired him to try them against sensitivity to electric fields.
- Generally: Any metals act as an
antenna for EMFs so wearing metal on the body makes you an antenna. All
jewelry should be plastic [or, presumably, made from wood, shells or
other non-metallic natural materials].
Gigahertz solutions EMF meter
After having done much research and comparisons, it appears that the
Gigahertz Solutions EMF meters are among the most popular for home
owners wishing to conduct an EMR home assessment (they are also
recommended by Dr. Klinghardt).
The
HF35C EMF Meter and the ME3830B lMF Meter (the latter for low
frequencies) cover the most important ranges of concern, identifying
radiation emanating from mobile phones, cell phone towers, electrical
appliances, Wi-Fi, wireless LAN, power lines, microwave ovens, baby
monitors and alarms, smart meters etc.
