Is Your Home Keeping You Sick? Dirty Electricity May Be the Cause [Published in Natural Awakenings]

For many suffering with unexplained chronic pain and fatigue, dirty electricity may be the cause. It’s hard to believe an invisible force coming from everyday devices could be contributing to health issues. Radiation is emitted from cell phones, Bluetooth devices, smart TVs, computers and even air conditioners today. What many do not realize is even the wiring in their homes can emit dirty electricity.

Dirty electricity refers to high-frequency voltage spikes that travel along the wiring in a building. These surges can also be created by appliances, dimmer switches and more. Nearby power lines also introduce electrical pollution into the home. This electric smog interferes with the body's subtle electrical systems. Electricity releases positively charged ions, too many in our environment can lead to a cascade of health issues. Including pain, inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, tinnitus, headaches, and even difficulty breathing.

Negative ions are found in nature near running water and produced by trees, which are beneficial for our health. Unfortunately, many people suffering with health issues isolate indoors, spending more time in a positive ion environment. The place they are seeking comfort in may be the cause of their suffering.

So what can you do?

Open your windows daily for negative ions. Spend time outdoors and get sunlight when you can. If you work from home, consider switching to a Ethernet connection, while keeping your device on airplane mode. Cell phones can be put on airplane mode when not in use. Create a safe space in your home. I keep the breaker off to my bedroom, a no-electricity zone. Purchase grounding bedsheets and avoid using a metal frame or mattress with springs, metal conducts and amplifies electricity. Smart meters emits high radiation into the home, you can purchase a Faraday cage to cover the meter. There are dirty electricity filters that can be plugged into your outlets.
