Subject: High EMF in home - Success!!!


First let me thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your many
suggestions re my problem with high EMFs in my home.  Armed with your input
I solved it last night.

Many of you suggested isolating the pipes (to which the ground is connected)
from the street side of the plumbing system with a section of plastic pipe
near where the cold water main enters the home.  As I inspected my system I
realized that had already been done when I installed a plastic whole-house
water filter.  Nevertheless, I still had the problem.  I had two
electricians come out and inspect it.  Both told me that all houses have the
same problem and nothing can be done.

Last night I went down to the basement determined not to come up until I had
learned something about the cause of the problem.  The ceiling of my
basement is a lattice work of pipes, electrical conduits and sheet-metal
ductwork for the heating system - all metal and many of them touching each
other.  On a hunch I put a bit of wood in between two of them that were
touching at a point where the EMF was particularly high and the field went
WAY down.  Encouraged, I went around the basement and systematically put
wooden shims between every metal conduit, ductwork and plumbing I could find
that was touching.

The result?  EMF down close to zero in most areas of the house.  So simple
yet so elusive.

Thanks again for all your help.  Had it not been for this list I would still
be pulling my hair out and paying hundreds of dollars to electrician after
electrician, all of whom have no idea how to solve the problem and so
compensate by telling me there's nothing to worry about.

So I am currently not grounded to the street side of the plumbing.  The
inside plumbing and the electrical system is grounded only to a copper rod
driven into the ground.  Can somebody reassure me that I'm not endangering
my family by doing it this way - even if it violates code?  Is there any way
of proving that this ground is really secure?

Thanks, Dean
