Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) and the potential shielding from electromagnetic fields (EMF) and low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF). Participants explore the experiences of an individual claiming adverse health effects from exposure to these fields and seek information on materials like MU Metals and PermAlloy for shielding purposes.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes a personal account of experiencing severe symptoms attributed to EMF exposure, specifically mentioning a deep burning sensation and fatigue linked to pulsing signals.
  • Another participant challenges the validity of the reported symptoms, suggesting that they may be psychological rather than physical, and references the placebo effect as a possible explanation.
  • Concerns are raised about the strength of the reported signals, which are described as very small (between 0002 and 0005 V/M), and unlikely to cause physical effects.
  • Participants express a need for information on the effectiveness of MU Metals and PermAlloy in shielding against ELF signals and EM fields.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus among participants. Some express belief in the validity of EHS and the need for shielding, while others argue that the symptoms may not have a physical basis and suggest psychological factors instead.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes varying perspectives on the nature of EHS and the effectiveness of shielding materials, with no resolution on the validity of the symptoms or the efficacy of proposed solutions.

Hello dear reader,

a brief introduction:

Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred. So now they are in the cleanest possible location, meaning no power lines or cell towers, etc. in the vicinity.

We know how to block the RF signal(s) used for Phone, WIFI & other things through RF mesh shielding, so now we are looking into ELF/EMF shielding.

What I've gathered it seems to be a pulse signal that appears around every 3 hours, and is fluctuating in strength during these occurrences between 0002. and 0005. V/M

I am reaching out to anyone in the community that has experience or is well versed in the matter of EMF/EHS and shielding materials, to get as much information as I possibly can about MU Metals / PermAlloy and their ability to shield objects from ELF signals/EM fields

I don't know if anyone on here has encountered this specific application of MU metals / Permalloy metals before, but any information you could share would be greatly appreciated.

kindest regards

Welcome to PF.

The observations you report are inconsistent with what we know about the physical world. While it is possible to screen a human body with electrical and magnetic conductors, it is more likely that the placebo effect would be in play, as the observed symptoms appear to be psychological, not physical.

That is a well known phenomena and belief in some people. It is the origin of the "tin foil hat" that similarly screens the body.

Those are very tiny signals, and not likely to cause any physical effects.

Folks here at PF have lots of experience with EM shielding for normal applications. Here are a couple links that you may find helpful in your searching:

And with that, this thread will remain closed.
