RF Shielded Bed Canopy -- Unparraleled Opportunity to Reduce RF -- Must be Done Right

 Today we’re talking about an amazing, and I don’t use that word lightly – an amazing type of remediation appropriate in SOME (not all) cases. If a bed canopy is appropriate in your situation  you really must consider using one.

There is no more important time and place than during sleep in your bedroom that you need to protect from RF radiation exposure. A quality bed canopy can provide up to 99% attenuation of RF radiation. But the devil is in the details. You’ve got to get this right to really enjoy the benefits. First you must have electric fields under control.  Often there is no better way to quickly turn your bedroom into a sleep sanctuary. This kind of temporary shielding is much safer than painting your bedroom with shielding paint.

Absolutely the single most effective strategy for reducing personal exposure to radio frequency radiation. Incredibly important because it gives this protection when it matters the most during sleep, while your body is recovering, while your body is healing. But it's not for everyone or every home. You have to do certain things to prepare, you need to choose the right one and you need to install it correctly. It's time we had a conversation about RF shielding bed canopies Coming up.

EMF Remedy is dedicated to helping you understand which electromagnetic threats are present in your home and whether, in the context of your current home, when you're considering for purchase or building a new home with comprehensive protection designed in, emf Remedy can help you reduce your family's exposure to harmful man made electromagnetic radiation.

Speaker 1: 1:13

Hi, this is Keith Cutter with EMF Remedycom, host of the EMF Remedy podcast, where we help you take control of the harmful man made electromagnetic radiation in your home. You see, we live in a created world. We are created beings. We are, in fact, electromagnetic in nature. Isn't that wild to think about? So easy to prove.

Speaker 1: 1:41

For many years now decades actually we've been trading. Trading the healing and nurturing electromagnetic environment we were given for an electromagnetic environment toxic to life and health. Why are we doing this? Knowingly or unknowingly? We've traded health and life and, by the way, stewardship for all other life on earth for three really important things convenience, amusement and stimulation that come from the electric grid and smart tech. Some bargain right. You don't have to go along with this. If you want to take a precautionary approach to your family's exposure to harmful man made electromagnetic radiation, or if you must, as a life priority, reduce exposure, you are in the right place. No nonsense EMF assessment and remediation. That's what we're all about. And, by the way, let's bring back an idea from the past Make your home your castle, in this case one that defends the occupants from threats in the electromagnetic realm. Why do we need to do this? Because every form of non-native EMF goes right through common building materials. All right, I'm really ready for this. I'm looking forward to this particular episode. It's been a great week so far.

Speaker 1: 3:38

A stimulating speaking event earlier in the week and a great coaching session this morning from a client who wants to buy some land and build a sanctuary, a home for his family, off-grid, direct, current only man. That's going to be a neat project. All right, so for today. Bed canopies this is a listener request. John wrote okay well, a bunch of flattering stuff about the host, which I'll skip and let's see. In listening to the podcast, I haven't heard any mention of silver or fabric bed canopies. Would these be considered a safe and effective method of EMF mitigation when set up and used properly, An example being the Swiss Shield natural Ultra Bed Canopy including the floor shield? Would love to get your take on them. Thank you so much for the amazing content and guidance. Hey, John, this one is for you, buddy, All right, Today we're talking about an amazing and I don't use that word lightly, I really don't, but this warrants it an amazing type of remediation appropriate in some not all cases.

Speaker 1: 5:12

If a bed canopy is appropriate to your situation, you should know that because you've worked with a local qualified EMF resource and that individual has taken an assessment of the overall situation and told you it's right for you. I understand if you want to move forward on this. Maybe you don't have an appropriately qualified local expert. This may be something I can help you with some phone-based EMF coaching. But anyway, if you know, this is for you. If you don't know, this is for you.

Speaker 1: 5:58

We're going to talk about some of the issues, some of the things that you need to consider before you move forward. So I would say just to start that there is no more important time and there is no more important place than during sleep in your bedroom that you need to protect yourself against non-native EMF in general, but in particular to the relentless radio frequency radiation A quality bed canopy can provide. Are you ready for this? Can you believe this? A quality bed canopy can provide over 99% attenuation of RF radiation over 99% attenuation. But the devil is in the details. You've really got to get this right to enjoy the benefits and you absolutely must have the electric field levels under control. That's something your local resource will be able to help you with, and it is often much more than just turning off your bedroom, the circuit in your bedroom. You really have to have your electric fields under control to install a bed canopy that's like priority number one.

Speaker 1: 7:36

And the reason is because electric fields will interact with the shielding material of the canopy. Notice, I didn't say electric fields will be shielded by the bed canopy. You'd have to look at the frequency attenuation response curve of the fabric. But no, I think it's going to go, it's going to interact, which means there's a possibility of the electric fields becoming far more troublesome inside the bed canopy if you don't get them under control. So I also want to mention that this kind of temporary shielding and that's the category that I would put a bed canopy under this kind of temporary shielding, is much safer than painting your bedroom with shielding paint, particularly if you don't do it for a living. If you're not familiar with the nuance, you can really do yourself a disservice. If you just jump in there and start painting your bedroom with shielding paint, you can create permanent problems for other places in your home. Sure, you might reduce the RF in your bedroom, but it could come at the expense of additional exposure to your children, okay, or additional RF exposure to your office or your living room. Anyway, I love the bed canopy because it is temporary shielding and you can easily measure the width and width out both inside the canopy and outside the canopy in other critical areas of your home just by tucking the bed canopy up, all right, so let's see before we get going. Please, if you have a heart to help us in producing and distributing this type of content, please consider becoming a financial supporter of the show.

Please pray that our efforts here would be a blessing to many. So buckle up. Here we go. Things to consider before purchase. All right. So in the right situation, this can be the single best remediation strategy for RF exposure when sleeping.

Speaker 1: 10:18

An amazing level of attenuation that means reduction is possible with the right canopy preparation and installation and, as I already mentioned, it's possible to get over 99% attenuation. So I like to be a full disclosure kind of guy. I like to tell you the possible benefits and the possible drawbacks too. So I'm just going to lay it all out here as best I can. No form of shielding is perfect. No form of shielding is perfect. That means no matter how much energy or effort you put into your shielding, if you have sensitive enough equipment, you'll be able to measure some remainder coming through. So these are not perfectly shielded structures. If you're in an uninhabitable area, you will for certain be able to get the levels of attenuation that I have mentioned. 99 may be even greater than 99% attenuation. But if where you're living is so far out of whack that the remaining 1% or less still puts you in an unacceptable level of exposure, well, you're living in an uninhabitable area. But what just isn't to say that you shouldn't do this? Of course, if you have 100,000 microwatts per square meter outside your bed canopy and 1,000 microwatts per square meter inside the bed canopy, I would take the 1,000 over the 100,000, of course, but 1,000 is still in the extreme range. Precautionary range of exposure to RF right, all right. So bed canopy is best used in addition to other RF mediation efforts within the home to deal with RF sources that are under your control.

Speaker 1: 12:52

What am I talking about? I'm not talking about the cell phone tower down the block. Okay, aside from some really advanced remediation techniques, you're not gonna be able to do anything about that cell phone tower down the block. It's gonna spoil the RF environment in your yard and in your home. Now, what I am talking about is inside your home, if you've got a Wi-Fi router, because of proximity, because of the inverse square law, and if you're not familiar with that, I have two podcasts the great news about the RF, the inverse squared law and the dark side of the inverse squared law, and I'd suggest that you listen to either one or both of those.

Speaker 1: 13:54

But what it all boils down to is two things about the RF sources in your home. One, the closest source can have a disproportionate effect on the levels of intensity to you just because they're closer. Not that it's radiating less radiation than the cell phone tower down the block, but because it's closer it may have disproportionately more radiation exposure for you than the cell phone tower. Sounds amazing, I know, but the other thing is about sources in your home is they are, by their nature, under your control. Cell phone tower not so much. Sources within your home are under your control. That means you can shut them off Easily. You can shut them off at night because you're not using them. You might want to shut them off entirely and go with an all wired solution, alright.

Speaker 1: 15:02

So bed canopy, best used in addition to other RF remediation efforts within the home, and you must have a way. You have to have the electric fields all around the bed cleared out. You have to get to ideal levels of electric field exposure. We're not going to go into detail in that. We've talked about that exhaustively in other podcasts. So, choosing the right canopy so like purchasing an EMF meter and I did an episode the five things you need to know about purchasing an EMF meter, something like that Consider I would say, consider only third party tested fabrics with documented performance characteristics.

Speaker 1: 16:01

What does that mean? A very similar to what I was talking about with the meters. You've got to know exactly how this will perform. You need to know how much attenuation and over what frequency range, alright. So I saw somewhere a fella was trying to offer well, my shielding fabric is organic. Great, I would love to have an organic cotton shielding fabric in my bed canopy. What are the performance characteristics? Oh well, we don't have that, okay. Well then, it's not worth considering, right? If you don't know what the level of attenuation is, or attenuation versus frequency. I don't care what it's made out of, it's useless, right? Alright? So, choosing the right canopy, make sure you know what you're getting. I recommend it's a third party certification of the characteristics. If your bed rests on a concrete slab, you may not need a floor sheet. Otherwise you may. Certainly if you're in, if your bedroom is above the first floor, you may need a floor sheet.

Speaker 1: 17:43

I would say, in certain cases, even if you're just on a raised floor above the ground, there's room in many cases for RF to get through Depends on what the ambient levels are and best case, you have a qualified person put eyes on it. If you want to be safe, you can always get the floor sheet, even in a case where you might not absolutely need it. So what I mean to say is, if you haven't had an expert come in and look and say you do or you do not need the floor sheet, and you're uncertain because you're not actually on a slab floor, a slab foundation, what I'm saying is you might want to err on the side of caution. Go ahead and get the additional floor sheet. This puts a bottom to the shielded enclosure that we're creating. I would say avoid conductive fabrics. I really would.

Speaker 1: 18:57

And the listener, john, was asking the question about silver fabrics. Yeah, you can get bed canopies that are made out of silver or other metals, but you know these externally conductive fabrics they. The only reason you would provide a externally conductive fabric is to ground it. But grounding conductive fabrics has the potential to open up other issues and we'll just leave it at that. But we just published a three-part interview with Andrew McAfee if you want to delve into that whole issue of the potential for nuisance current. So if you're unsure or if it's unfamiliar, I would stick to the non-externally conductive materials. But also, you know, the silver fabrics. They may lose their exposed silver over time and then the question is where is it going? So some individuals may be sensitive to that direct silver contact than others. So for for all those reasons and more, I would avoid the externally conductive products that are out there and get one that is not externally conductive.

Speaker 1: 20:35

Now what does it look like? If you've never seen one of these things, it's kind of like one of those old movies where you see mosquito netting over a bed and really it just looks like fabric. If you were to look at the window coverings I have here or the type of material that you would have on a bed canopy.

Speaker 1: 20:54

It just looks like sort of a gauzy cotton. It's constructed with silver threads inside and then there's cotton spun around it. I would avoid being in contact with the bed canopy fabric when in use. This caution is not warranted if it's not externally conductive. But I reason that if the shielding is is working so that the RF energy is contacting the shielding and you're in contact with the shielding, probably a not probably a risk worth not taking. And what this boils down to in my mind is there are sort of two types of canopies. I'll call one the tube type of canopy. There's usually a round ring above the bed and the canopy material goes over that ring and then, in sort of a tube like fashion, it covers the rest of the bed. So really you have a great amount of fabric that is either in contact with the top of the bed and you or just inches above, and it's only right over the center of the bed that the fabric is really free for any distance above I find those confining you're much more likely to be in contact with the shielding fabric. I can understand the use of a tube type of a canopy in a traveling situation, for example. I greatly prefer the box type of canopy which has straight walls on the sides, the top and the bottom, so you have a much more open feeling. It's much less confining and you are much, much less to actually be in contact with the shielding fabric while you are inside. So those are some factors to consider in choosing the right canopy. Maybe one more there is a daylight fabric, which it's a more open, airy feeling. The mesh is bigger, the attenuation level is less, but it does promote better airflow. However, it's a synthetic fabric on the outside. So you have to consider all of those things, whether you want a synthetic fabric or whether you'd rather have cotton. So those are all things to consider when you're choosing the right canopy.

Speaker 1: 24:01

It's also important to know that, while most people enjoy the vast majority of people enjoy this type of remediation, a small minority do not. How many? Well, I've never had somebody I don't have any clients that I recommended a bed canopy and it didn't work out for them. I think in all humility. I think because I make sure we're going to address the electric fields and all the other issues before we deploy a bed canopy. And so, while I'm aware that I've seen reports, I've heard reports that some people don't do well in a bed canopy, I think in all humility, maybe it's because the setup that wasn't done right or the prep work was not done properly, but nevertheless, my distributor estimates that not the majority less than 5% certainly may not find it helpful and I just want to be open and very direct about that.

Speaker 1: 25:13

So I think that the main issues are failure to deal with electric fields effectively. And if you don't have a way, the gold standard is the NFA 1000. It's $2,200 and that's an expensive meter, no-transcript. You know if you're doing something else to measure electric fields. You know, like if it's a single axis electric field meter, you've got to take three measurements in each point in space and you use a mathematical formula to figure out what the actual magnetic field exposures are and whatnot. And if you use body voltage, that's imperfect because you don't really know what the reference voltage is. Anyway, nfa 1000s way to go.

Speaker 1: 26:06

People not using something like that may feel like they've effectively dealt with electric fields in the sleep area and maybe they haven't. I think that's probably the biggest issue. Another issue might be strong nearby RF sources not dealt with effectively. So imagine leaving a cell, cell phone, all right armed and deadly on the bed, stand next to your bed canopy. Well, because of the inverse square law, you're going to have some really intense radiation blasted out of that phone and some of it's going to make it through. Even 1% is going to be problematic, so some of that will make it through the canopy. That may be a reason why some people don't enjoy it, or they may have a router nearby, so you need to deal effectively with those local sources.

Speaker 1: 27:00

Other people may have sensitivity to the fabric, which is why the bed canopies that I recommend you can get a free sample of the fabric from the manufacturer before you purchase so you can determine whether you have a sensitivity to the product. You can do muscle testing or whatever you want to check that out. There is also the possibility of a detox effect. All right, so you're actually in a much healthier place for your body and what you're feeling is about the detox. It might last a couple of days, might last a few weeks.

Speaker 1: 27:45

Some people may feel claustrophobic when inside the bed canopy. As I already mentioned, a more open weave may be helpful. Trade off is less shielding effectiveness. A tiny portion may not like feeling their own natural bodily EMF emissions being reflected back toward themselves. So anything inside of this shielded canopy, anything that generates RF, in particular it's going to be reflected back in towards the occupants. We'll talk about that a little bit more in a bit here.

Speaker 1: 28:31

Okay, so how do you prepare? You want to make certain that you've taken the other steps to remediate all the RF in your home before you get into the bed canopy. Don't bring non-native EMF emitting sources into the canopy right Just for the reason that I just mentioned. It's going to stay inside that canopy. It's going to bounce around in there. So take a baseline RF reading using an accurate RF meter of known accuracy and sensitivity. Verify you've eliminated electric fields from the area.

Speaker 1: 29:14

You may need to remove and or relocate the ceiling fan and or the light from above if it's necessary. You'll need to purchase a hardware kit that's needed for the installation. And here's a tip there's something called hardwood dowels. They're inch to an inch and a quarter in diameter and if you go to a big box home improvement store, these rods are often available in. They're called dowels. These dowels are sometimes available in two places in the store and they're a lot cheaper in one place than they are in the other. So go to the closet section, the closet section of the big box home improvement, and they'll have closet shelves and shoe organizers and all that kind of stuff and you'll get a much better price often there than going into the hardwood section for a hardwood dowel, all right. So part of the hardware kit that you're going to need will include the, what you need to mount the bed canopy from the ceiling, the cord that comes down.

Speaker 1: 30:41

You're gonna need something called a plumb bob, a few other things Assemble your necessary tools, familiarize yourself with the installation process, push the bed away from the wall or walls if your bed was in the corner by 18 inches and you will need two people for the installation. If you're one of my customers, I can assist, as I'll probably be there anyway working with the electrician on other issues to deal with the electric field elimination.

Speaker 1: 31:23

But anyway, you're gonna need two people and one ladder at least one ladder, okay. So when you are using the bed canopy, remember don't bring non-native emitting EMF sources inside the canopy. I had a client who you know you can do something quite different than I've been talking about. You can use this bed canopy and most people use the bed canopy. Just like I've said, you just get a canopy the size of your bed and you go in there and you sleep at night. Some people are so sick of electromagnetic radiation that, as a survival technique, they'll get the largest bed canopy, like a king-sized bed canopy, and inside of the bed canopy there's room for a twin bed and a small desk and a chair. So I've had clients who absolutely need to be spending time during the day in a shielded environment. Maybe they're waiting to buy a new home or have a low EMF structure constructed or whatever it is. But just dealing with the radiation exposure during the night might not be enough. So you can actually set up a nice sitting area, a bed to lay down on and a desk and a chair and it's not fun living inside such a small space, but if you need it, a strategy like this can be very helpful. So think long and hard, though, before you bring in your notebook computer, because hopefully, if you're this far along in the game, you will have an appropriate RF meter and know how to use it to maintain what I call RF hygiene in the house, which means you'll be able to verify that your notebook computer is not emitting radiation RF radiation on purpose, but that doesn't mean that it won't be emitting RF radiation and strange electric fields also. Okay, not an intentional radiator. Nevertheless, there is RF and electric fields, the potential for those to be coming off of a notebook computer. So you'll wanna think long and hard about particularly if you've got one of these set up as a day area, about bringing anything that plugs in and even battery powered electronic devices. You wanna think carefully about bringing one of those inside your bed canopy. All right.

Speaker 1: 34:41

So we've talked about a number of issues. It is. This is the premier way of extreme reduction of radio frequency exposure. There isn't a more cost effective, more efficacious way to reduce your personal exposure. There isn't a better time to have that reduction when you're sleeping.

Speaker 1: 35:08

There are a lot of choices to be made. If you can, you should be getting professional help in deciding. Is this right? Can my electric fields be attenuated to a level that it would be okay to install one of these things. How do I do that? On a convenient basis, choosing the right fabric and size and orientation and, just like I say, being careful about what you bring in. So these are the factors that you wanna consider, all right, so I hope that this has been helpful and somewhat exhaustive. Look at bed canopies. They're expensive but they're irreplaceable in certain situations. All right, if you would like to help us in this journey, please consider becoming a financial supporter.
