Nighttime use of an RF shielded bed canopy can be a lifesaver. But what if you need more protection during the day in addition to protection at night? After all, you can't spend all day in bed. If you're in survival mode, you've realized the place you're living is uninhabitable from an RF exposure level perspective, at least for you, and you need a way to endure until you can either find or create a more appropriate living arrangement. This technique may be a real help in the short term, using a second RF shielded bed canopy to create an RF safe daytime use area 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: 5:37

Hi, this is Keith Cutter with EMF Remedycom, host of the EMF Remedy podcast, where we help you take control of the harmful manmade electromagnetic radiation in your home. If you haven't already done so, schedule your personal in-home EMF assessment, because no matter where you live or how much you know, there is no way to move further, faster in taking control of the harmful manmade electromagnetic radiation levels in your home. In a single day, you'll go from not knowing exactly what levels of which types of electromagnetic radiation exist in your home to not only knowing how much, of which types and where, but having a custom remediation plan which outlines reasonable expectations for how much remediation is possible in your specific case and what will be required. I know, I know you're concerned and you should be, but please don't dwell in fear. That's my encouragement for you. Move on to knowledge and a plan and get going so tomorrow you can be on your way to reducing personal exposure for you and your loved ones.

Speaker 1: 7:31

Now, last episode we did a deep dive into the use of RF shielded bed canopies for nighttime RF radiation attenuation, with the thought that there is no more important time and place than during sleep in your bedroom that you need to protect. An equality bed canopy can provide significant attenuation of RF radiation. We discussed in great detail what it takes to be successful. But what if you need more? You need daytime protection, not just protection at night. So this podcast, this specific episode, is for those of you whose lives have been turned on end. Let me put it that way.

Speaker 1: 8:39

EMF avoidance isn't just an idea. You are not just taking a precautionary approach to your family's exposure levels. If you need to get the lowest possible levels of RF protection, in particular as quickly as possible, perhaps while you're building a low EMF home, this podcast is for you. It's not an ideal long term solution and it's expensive, but it can provide significant personal RF reduction during large portions of the day. In a nutshell, we're going to talk about using the very same type of bed canopy that we discussed last episode, but for day use. You got to get this right to really enjoy the benefits and you must. You must have electric field levels under control before even considering this.

Speaker 1: 9:59

There's no better way to quickly convert a portion of your living room or wherever, into a day, use lower RF sanctuary, just like with the bed canopy. This kind of temporary shielding is much safer than painting a part of your home with shielding paint, because unless you really know what you're doing, unless you do this for a living, unless you're working under the guidance of somebody who does, it's really easy to create permanent problems, permanent increases in RF in other parts of your home that you can't just undo by painting over the shielding paint. Alright, and at the end I will give you a link and also verbal information on the canopy that I recommend most option and I do have an affiliate link with or information that will get you a discount on the purchase, if you like. So here's what it looks like. We're talking about an office, a portion of a living room, a spare bedroom or wherever you can spare the space in your home with a large cleared area. I don't know, I would probably try to clear 10 foot by 10 foot square. Maybe you could get by with something less than that, like seven foot square. Potentially it'll depend on the size of the canopy that you get, and what I'm suggesting is you get the biggest canopy made. You know, get a king size bed canopy. So the bed canopy can be erected within the cleared area. So in your living room, in your spare bedroom, in your office, where you have a cleared space, you erect the bed canopy and there are kind of a new, tricky way to do it that may ease the install quite a bit.

Speaker 1: 12:36

Then, inside the bed canopy, create a space for you. You know this is not a long term solution, but you want to create a space that'll be unique to your needs. I would put in a small desk, a chair and perhaps a cot in the canopy, and, yeah, there's room for all of that, depending on what you consider to be a small desk and a cot. The idea is to set up a space, like I say, personal to your needs, an area inviting and suited to you. If you like to write, well, I would definitely have a comfortable writing place and of course we're talking about pen and paper writing. If you like to lounge, have a comfy recliner. Of course there's space limitations, but you get the idea. You can set up more than you might imagine within a king size bed canopy. Now here's the things you want to consider, some of the things you want to consider before purchase.

Speaker 1: 13:52

I'm not looking at your unique situation. You have to determine, or work with an EMF professional to determine, if this is going to be a good idea in your future particular situation. So you must have a way, as I mentioned, to control electric fields all around. No getting around this, no cheating Some people. For some people this will be impossible. By the way, if you live, for example, underneath a power line or near enough a power line that the electric fields can't be remediated, this is probably not going to work for you.

Speaker 1: 14:34

Like I mentioned with the bed canopies before, no form of shielding is perfect. So no matter how good the shielding, some will get through, some will be bounced off and some will be absorbed within the shielding material. In the right situation this can be the single best short-term remediation strategy for RF exposure during the day. Really impressive levels of attenuation are possible with the right material, the right canopy, the right preparation and the right installation. Up to 40 dB that's 99.99% attenuation, is possible. That may not be exactly what you get and it will depend on things like the frequency of the RF pollution in your area and how well you do in setting up this thing so that there are no gaps. Real-world performance in RF is also going to rely. If you need a bottom sheet, you'll need to have coverage all the way around where that bottom sheet meets the sides of canopy.

Speaker 1: 16:06

The shelter is best used in addition to other RF remediation efforts within the home to deal with RF sources not under your control. That's because the RF sources closest to you are number one under your control and number two have a disproportionate effect on the intensity of RF radiation. That means a relatively smaller source like a router in your home can have as much or more impact as a nearby cell phone tower, and that's just because of the proximity. So really important that you get the close sources eliminated, at least while you're in that canopy, to enjoy the best effect. Now you need to know that these canopies are generally not a returnable item. Okay.

Speaker 1: 17:05

So choosing the right canopy it's like purchasing an EMF meter, in that you'll want to consider a third-party tested solutions with documented performance characteristics. How much attenuation over what frequency range can you expect? If the canopy that you're looking at doesn't include that kind of information, I would say move on to the next one, because just because somebody says this is a shielded canopy or that it has RF attenuation, if they're not providing actual performance characteristics. You really don't know. You really don't know what you have Now, how to determine if you need the bottom sheet, the RF shielded floor sheet. If your shelter is going to rest on a concrete slab on the ground, you may not need an RF shielded floor sheet. I would say, try it without, otherwise you may. Certainly if you're above the first floor you want to.

Speaker 1: 18:27

I would say I would encourage you to avoid conductive fabrics, externally conductive fabrics and I'm talking, you know, the metal is on the outside rather than spun into the inside, the canopy that I prefer. It simply looks like sort of a gauzy cotton. You would never really know that there are tiny copper wires coated in silver that the cotton is spun around. But on an externally conductive fabric shelter you're gonna be seeing the metal on the outside. It's gonna be conductive all the way around and some of that metal is gonna flake off. You might not like that. And the externally conductive ones are more complex in deploying them anywhere around electric fields. So I'd, unless for particular reason and maybe under some professional guidance, I would avoid them.

Speaker 1: 19:36

I would also avoid being in contact with the canopy fabric, whether it's externally conductive or not Now box type canopies are. I would consider them to be a must because the tube type are not roomy inside. You wouldn't have the ability to put the things that I mentioned. That's also important to know that, while most people enjoy this type of remediation, a small minority don't. My distributor estimates that this minority is less than 5%, and many factors are at play. I don't experience this and, in all humility, I think it's because I don't recommend one of these solutions unless it's in the right area.

Speaker 1: 20:35

The biggest factor is, I would guess, failure to deal effectively with the electric fields. Also, then strong nearby RF sources not dealt with effectively. Sensitivity to the fabric. By the way, sometimes people who are electrically sensitive are also chemically sensitive, and so the supplier that I work with will provide a free sample of the fabric If you want to do muscle testing or whatever to make sure your level of sensitivity is going to be okay with this product.

Speaker 1: 21:26

There's also the possibility of a detox effect. You know a couple of days to a few weeks where you're actually in a much better place for your body, but the detox effect has you feeling like you've got a flu for a while while your body gets adjusted to the level of exposure it should have been at all along. And some folks might feel claustrophobic when they're inside. A more open weave may be helpful. It comes at a cost. There is a daylight version. It is unfortunately a synthetic product, not cotton. I think the cotton is better for chemically sensitive people, but the daylight fabric, if you're worried about feeling claustrophobic or you have want to have better airflow within, you pay kind of a heavy price on loss of attenuation. But it is a more open weave and I think and this is this is just my opinion, but I think a tiny portion may not like the feeling because we're electromagnetic in nature. You can really see that clearly with you know if you get hooked up to a cardiac monitor.

Speaker 1: 22:49

That's they're looking at the electrical activity in your heart. Right, no electrical activity in your heart and no more birthdays. Likewise, in your brain, the electroencephalogram. You can look at the electrical activity in the brain and there are many other proofs that the body is electrical in nature. So we have this thing called a biofield that emanates from our bodies and perhaps a tiny portion of people won't like that feeling of their own natural bodily EMF emissions being reflected back toward themselves.

Speaker 1: 23:38

I didn't say this in the episode on the bed canopy for nighttime use, but I think the biggest risk of that is in like a sleep sack, you know, like something the size of a sleeping bag, that sort of this metallic material that does attenuate RF but it is much closer to the body. Nevertheless, full disclosure. I just want to mention the small, the remote possibility that it may not be a good fit for you and you won't know until you try it and, like I said before, that these things can't generally be returned. So consider all of that carefully before you make a decision to purchase. All right, so in preparation, what you want to do is, after you've found a way to deal with the electric fields in the area, take a baseline RF reading before and after setting up the shelter using an accurate RF meter of known accuracy and sensitivity. If you need more information on that, look up the episode I've done not too long ago about five factors to consider in purchasing an RF meter.

Speaker 1: 25:00

You may need to relocate or just plain remove or have excuse me, have an electrician. Remove or relocate a ceiling fan, for example, if you have one in the room or a light that would be right above where you're trying to put the canopy, Because, of course, two things can occupy the same point in space at the same time. And if we're getting into vaulted ceilings and all that kind of thing, that's kind of a special deal. You're gonna have to have somebody take a look at that and let you know what it would take to deploy in that type of an environment. And I'm going to talk in a moment about a. Yeah, just in fact, let's talk about it right now. There is a way to get around, potentially and I haven't seen your particular setup, but some people use a pop up tent, a pop up canopy, sorry, and these are available for around oh, I don't know like 75 bucks and you can get them from a number of places online or some of the big bucks grocery slash retail places.

Speaker 1: 26:23

Very simple to set up, could potentially be done just by one person, and you pop up this it's sun canopy. It's just like shielding you from the sun at the top, and there are no sides on this, just four legs and then you can drape the bed canopy over the top. Much simplified installation won't look pretty but and it may not, as I mentioned, be specific for your particular situation you need to determine if this is safe for your unique situation. All right, so that's. That is an option that other people have taken and they like it and it works for them. Otherwise, purchase the hardware kit as needed and specified by the manufacturer for the installation.

Speaker 1: 27:22

Remember that if you're using the type of canopy like the one I recommend and you're doing a traditional installation, you're going to need something called hardwood dowels. They are sometimes cheaper in the closet section of a big box home improvement store rather than in the hardwood section Section. Gets it together, your necessary tools. Familiar yourself with the installation process. You'll need two people for the traditional installation. You might be able to get by with just one doing the other. It depends on your, your abilities. Certainly, if you're one of my customers, then I would be happy to come and help you with that. When you're using this solution, please remember, please remember. You don't want to bring non native EMF emitting sources inside the canopy, especially RF. Anything that emits RF and the things that emit RF on purpose is anything with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or cell phone technology built in. You need to have a meter, you need to own a meter so that you can know for certain whether a device is emitting RF radiation and, I'm sorry to say, computing isn't safe. That's the bottom line.

Speaker 1: 28:51

I should probably do an episode on that one one day, computing itself is not safe from an EMF non native EMF exposure perspective. So even if you manage to turn off all the non the RF emitters intentional emitters just having a computer turned on there's going to be non intentional emissions. We call it radio frequency, um interference, interference. And obviously, if you've got the electric fields under control, you don't want, you don't want to run an extension cord into your shelter and you don't want to have any electrical appliances inside. Okay, so the washing and drying you know I just mentioned briefly. You want to wash on a gentle cycle cold water, iron without steam, lowest temperature setting, no bleaching, no chemical, no dry cleaning. You want to hang this kind of uh deal up to dry. You don't want to tumble dry it. But it's really. I mean you know what? It's miraculous that we have these fabrics and I think it's miraculous we can carefully wash them. I mean, what a huge blessing. So my recommendation and a few closing words and that'll be it for this particular podcast. So my, my favorite recommendation, the one that I recommend for most of my clients, is called a Swiss Shield Naturell N-A-T-U-R-E-L-L Bed Canopy and, if necessary, a Swiss Shield Naturell Floor Sheet. Now what I like about this? There are many things I like about it. It has the maximum RF shielding effectiveness up to 99.99% shielding effectiveness and it is most compatible with people who have multiple chemical sensitivity. These two things electrical and chemical sensitivity seems to be, I don't know, comorbid factors, but anyway, and it looks nice, Like I say, it looks like a gauzy cotton.
