Two nights ago I stumbled across a story about a NASA atmospheric physicist, Antti Pulkkinen (http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/High_Voltage_Transmission_Lines_to_Act_as_Antenna_in_First_of_its_Kind_NASA_Space_Weather_Project_999.html), who is hooking up equipment to monitor the power grid for geomagnetic disturbances. I was familiar with the fact that solar storms had brought down the grid a few times in the last 50 years, which has interested me.
Last night I read one of this guy's white papers, April 2000 geomagnetic storm: ionospheric drivers of large geomagnetically induced currents (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.371.55) and found that there had been 3 major coronal mass ejections (CME) in the last 14 years, and 2 solar max episodes. We are coming to the end of the current solar max. It just so happens that my episodes of joint pain correspond to the 3 major CME in the last 14 years, and 2 solar max episodes. So, I am now seriously working on making grounding apparatus for myself to see if it will reduce the joint pain.
By the way, cherry hard cider, and/or apricot ale, have worked wonders for my joint pain.
-
This is interesting. I'm following your experiments on electromagnetic radiation with interest.
I am glad that your joint pain is under control. It's incredible that a bit cherry hard cider, and/or apricot ale can have so much of an effect.
-
Yes, I am developing an hypothesis that geomagnetic disturbances might trigger inflammation events, as well as possibly trigger psychiatric events.
Yes, it is surprising that something as simple as: cherry hard cider, and/or apricot ale can have such a profound effect upon my inflammation. But it does.
Today I searched for "antistatic grounding strap" and found Eclipse 900-057 Foot & Heel Grounding Strap (http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/products.htm?item=900057&ref=gbase&gclid=CI3CyO2niL4CFciGfgodHAsACQ), and Static Protecting Straps (http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/eclipse/esd-static-protection/straps.htm) at Test Equipment Depot (http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/), where they were inexpensive with free shipping, so I ordered one each to try out wearing them to see if keeping grounded will help reduce inflammation.
To implement the use of grounding equipment for reducing inflammation, I plan to wear the heal strap all of the time, and put the antistatic wrist strap on whenever I am sitting at a desk, or meditating. I will make a 3 prong power plug with only a wire that goes to the 3rd (grounding) prong, and attach the antistatic wrist strap to the plug, then I can just plug myself into any convenient grounded outlet, and/or use an extension cord to reach a grounded outlet.

-
I received the grounding strap about a week ago, and I wear it whenever I meditate. After a few hours of wearing it I found some relief in arthritis pain, so I now wear it every time I meditate. Now, after a week of wearing the grounding strap on my left wrist, my left wrist has significantly less pain than the right wrist.
Here is a link to an article that contradicts what I would expect on the subject of Electromagnetic radiation causing health problems.
Solar Flares Might Actually Help Some Heart Patients (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_146171.html)
-
With success in reducing joint pain in one joint by wearing a grounding strap, I grounded my van, and slept in it last night. The new cabling system also allowed me to ground both vehicles, which meant I slept last night in the grounded van. It might be a coincidence but I slept better than I have in years, and I woke up completely free of joint pain.
-
Yesterday after noon joint pain began to return around 2:00PM. Last night I slept again well in the van. I awoke this morning refreshed from another good night's sleep, and again pain-free. So, I think I am onto something significant. But I am sure the AMA is going to want a cut.
-
I had a 3rd night of good rest, awoke this morning with no pain again, and yesterday the joint pain returned around 2PM, like the day before, but it was not as strong as it has been for the last 3 years. In fact the afternoon return of pain has been lower than the previous day's pain level each day, so it suggests that at some point just sleeping every night in a grounded RFI shield might sustain one all day. So, I am sure I am onto something for myself, and it seems like it is inflammation related, which suggests it might work to reduce any chronic inflammatory condition for anyone.
-
This is my fourth morning waking up pain-free from an excellent night's sleep. Yesterday only a small amount of pain arose by 4PM, came and went in brief moments, but I was otherwise pain-free all day until bedtime.
In the case of just one or 2 joints that are painful with arthritis you may not need to completely cover the whole body in an EMF shield, but just wear an anti-static strap on the offending joint/s, and it might only require being grounded a few hours a day, say when you are meditating, taking a nap, and/or using your computer, or watching TV, or something sedentary.
In the case of chronic headaches, then one might need to wear an aluminum helmet that is grounded, again possibly only for a few hours a day. I know it sounds like the wackos who make aluminum foil hats to get the voices out of their head. But, as crazy as it sounds, it might actually work. I have ordered an aluminum helmet, not because I have headaches ever, or voices in my head, but I have had chronic full-body joint pain for 3 years now, and I will do anything short of drugging myself to reduce or eliminate that pain. And, I do not care how crazy I look to reduce that pain.
-
This is day 5 sleeping well for the night inside a grounded EMI shield and awaking up pain-free. Yesterday there was no pain at all, all day long, and I have been walking erect, not stooped over, as I have for a few years now, even though Space weather (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/SWN/index.html) says there was a Geomagnetic Storms level I in the past 24 hrs.
-
This is day 6 sleeping well for the night inside a grounded EMF shield and awaking up pain-free. Yesterday there was no pain at all, all day long, and I have been walking erect for days, and not stooped over as I have for a few years now, even though Space weather<http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/SWN/index.html> says there were Geomagnetic Storms & Radio Blackouts at level I in the past 24 hrs.

I really am glad to see you are finding some relief from what sounds like crippling joint pain. I am still trying to read up and figure out exactly what geomagnetic storms are and what they do from the link you provided.
Yes, I am developing an hypothesis that geomagnetic disturbances might trigger inflammation events, as well as possibly trigger psychiatric events.
I am also curious if these might affect our mental health.
-
This is day 7 sleeping well for the night inside a grounded EMF shield and awaking up pain-free. Yesterday there was no pain at all, all day long, and I have been walking erect for days, and not stooped over as I have for a few years now.
Additionally, there has been a forest fire burning out of control nearby for about 4 days. I spoke with one of my neighbors this morning he clearly had painful watery eyes, and he complained of bronchitis. Normally I would have burning eyes, and asthma from the smoke, but the smoke has not bothering me at all.
I told my neighbor about my improved health and resistance to the smoke from sleeping for the night inside of a grounded EMF shield.
He said, "I have slept in vans for years, and always found them more comfortable than sleeping in a house. So, I will ground my van, and try sleeping in it tonight, and let you know if it helps."
To figure out just how much EMF affects the health conditions of other people, all we need to do is to have a large number of people with a wide range of medical condition spend time in a grounded and shielded enclosure, and report their health. Eight hours in a grounded and shielded enclosure seems to be enough for me to find a significant improvement in my over-all health, and resistance to environmental deterioration.
I am also curious if these might affect our mental health.
It is starting to look to me like any inflammatory condition might respond to living in a grounded EMF shield; and we may find that even some mental health issues might respond as well.

This is truly incredible. You are no fool. I think we should all take this electromagnetic radiation business seriously.

Thank-you, Michel, for your support. It occurred to me, Michel, that you could easily build a Faraday cage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage) that also attenuates acoustic vibrations for use in meditation with 5 sheets of conductive corrugated plastic (Coroplast (http://corrugatedplastics.net/Conductive_Plastic_Corrugated.html)) that are taped together with 3M 3311 Aluminum Foil Tape - 2" x 50 yards (http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-18880/3M-Single-Coated-Tapes/3M-3311-Aluminum-Foil-Tape-2-x-50-yards?pricode=WY478&gadtype=pla&id=71847641962&gclid=CjkKEQjw75CcBRCz2LiEs5OPsZoBEiQADgUma5PdaluHWcMjpNOcYg3huujGqG9XEp6DWL8A-m0osLvw_wcB). 4 sheets of Coroplast (http://corrugatedplastics.net/Conductive_Plastic_Corrugated.html) could be taped together into a 4'x4'x8' rectangular tube, and one sheet cut in half to function as hinged doors front and back, which would be taped only on top to function as a flap that allows the exchange of air, then you could build a bed inside of the inclosure for sleeping and sitting up meditation practice. You would need to apply Conductive Fabric Tape (https://www.etsy.com/listing/115662976/conductive-fabric-tape?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product_listing_promoted&utm_campaign=supplies_low&gclid=CjkKEQjw75CcBRCz2LiEs5OPsZoBEiQADgUma8LOWneuzt7t96d-9Ep6zv_Xq-24vdJ5yBjSUAdiTTbw_wcB) over one place over each edge, because aluminum tape is only conductive on its outer surface. Then you would apply an Electrode Pad (http://www.lgmedsupply.com/whcl2x2inel.html?gclid=CjkKEQjw75CcBRCz2LiEs5OPsZoBEiQADgUma1_VXC_zI1LzNtPIOhFl49io48O_wgsBVvHiY8eZhO3w_wcB) to one surface, then run a wire from the Electrode Pad (http://www.lgmedsupply.com/whcl2x2inel.html?gclid=CjkKEQjw75CcBRCz2LiEs5OPsZoBEiQADgUma1_VXC_zI1LzNtPIOhFl49io48O_wgsBVvHiY8eZhO3w_wcB) to a grounded power outlet.
This is day 8 sleeping well through the night inside a grounded EMF shield (Faraday cage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage)) and awaking rested and pain-free. Yesterday there was no pain at all, all day long, and I have been walking erect for days, and not stooped over as I have for a few years now.
Additionally, there has been a forest fire burning out of control nearby for several days. Normally I would have burning eyes, and asthma from the smoke, but the smoke has not bothering me at all.
Yesterday I received a report from someone who is observing and testing Faraday cages. He had a lucid dream on his first night in a shielded and grounded enclosure. So, he suspects that it might stimulate lucid dreaming. He also noted that there is a study that confirms this finding.

This is day 10 sleeping well through the night inside a grounded EMF shield (Faraday cage) and awaking rested and pain-free. Yesterday there was no pain at all, all day long, and I have been walking erect for days, and not stooped over as I have for a few years now.
Additionally, the nearby forest fire is still burning out of control, and causing everyone here in Sedona respiratory problems. Normally I would have burning eyes, and asthma from the smoke, but the smoke has not bothering me at all.
Every morning I light a small fire to heat water to make a hot morning drink. Typically I burn the day's paper trash, and a handful of wood. Yesterday, while lighting the small morning fire, I noticed that the used kleenex pile had dwindled so much that I had to add newspaper to the fire to get it going. I have had chronic Rhinitis and conjunctivitis since I was a teenager. I have not had to use eye drops for 10 days, and now it also appears that the Rhinitis has ended as well.
It seems that sleeping about 8 hours a day in a Faraday cage has improved my over-all health. It would be interesting to hear from others who are finding similar results.
I am now looking into ways to be shielded and grounded throughout the day. Here are some products that could help:

My monthly disability check was posted to my account this morning, and finding shielding and ground improved my health dramatically, I ordered a set of conductive garments, below. As long as I wear the shoes, coveralls and hat, then I will be shielded and grounded all day.

It has now been 2 weeks sleeping well through the night inside a grounded EMF shield (Faraday cage) and awaking rested and pain-free. Saturday I processed 50 gallons of my DIY diesel fuel, which meant I had to move about 350lbs (158KG). I have not been able to do that in over a year; however, my back ached a little the next morning.
Additionally, the nearby forest fire is still burning out of control, and causing everyone here in Sedona respiratory problems. Normally I would have burning eyes, and asthma from the smoke, but the smoke has not bothering me at all.
Other interesting improvements in my health observed are: no acne, no sinusitis, no irritated eyes, no chronic fatigue.
I have only had apricot ale once in the 2 weeks, and I just ran out of cherry soft gels, so I plan not to take any more prunus species or any other plant that contains Anthocyanin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthocyanin) to see if just a grounded Faraday cage is enough to maintain my recently improved health level.

Thank-you, Michel, for your support. It occurred to me, Michel, that you could easily build a Faraday cage that also attenuates acoustic vibrations for use in meditation with 5 sheets of conductive corrugated plastic (Coroplast) that are taped together with 3M 3311 Aluminum Foil Tape - 2" x 50 yards. 4 sheets of Coroplast could be taped together into a 4'x4'x8' rectangular tube, and one sheet cut in half to function as hinged doors front and back, which would be taped only on top to function as a flap that allows the exchange of air, then you could build a bed inside of the inclosure for sleeping and sitting up meditation practice. You would need to apply Conductive Fabric Tape over one place over each edge, because aluminum tape is only conductive on its outer surface. Then you would apply an Electrode Pad to one surface, then run a wire from the Electrode Pad to a grounded power outlet.
Sorry, Jhananda. I somehow overlooked this post. Thank you for all the info you've provided for those of us who are interested in the health effects of electromagnetic radiation. I myself only have inflammation or arthritis in some of my fingers. Not very painful, but it prevents me from playing the guitar. I also have very mild hay fever. I think there are a wide range of health benefits to keeping oneself grounded as much as possible throughout the day, as you've discovered yourself. My family would surely think I'm going manic again if they were to see me building a Faraday cage. They are very close minded, so there is no way that I could convince them that a cage would be beneficial to my health. It would be beyond my physical abilities to build it myself, although I'm good with building things. So it would be expensive. I am concerned about the high voltage hydro lines that run close to where I live. They're about 150 yards away.
I sit at my computer 9 hours a day. How would you go about 'earthing' one who sits at a computer?

From what I have learned in the last year is human made EMF is tiny compared to solar EMF sources. However, the high power lines near your home might be an issue. To me the simplest solution, if you can afford it, is to purchase conductive shoes (http://www.all-spec.com/products/C1001-004.html?gclid=CjgKEAjwtZucBRD77aiiq_v4xnASJABkAg8J6CY5lTrEDASqOvX08mJG-a3brxeLKkNw4T4057mnffD_BwE), coveralls (http://www.automotiveworkwear.com/RedKap/CK44NV/work-coveralls.html?gclid=CjgKEAjw2KCcBRCQ_6mztcunhEgSJABPxOF1thSceAox_5ptTRRzCea5_oAAdbsBioJb9V0jK9GrtfD_BwE) and hat (http://www.sourcingmap.com/properties-blue-anti-static-visor-cap-hat-pc-esd-lab-working-tool-for-women-men-p-407840.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=froogle&utm_campaign=usfroogle&gclid=CjgKEAjwtZucBRD77aiiq_v4xnASJABkAg8J__DcVSeCh0Ld9qi5J1iOiUQVHqv_EBR8p6HCtNPnVPD_BwE).
I am beginning to consider that solar originating EMF does not just effect arthritics, but could effect the entire organism of all creatures, not just humans. Thus, your psychoses might very well have been due to solar originating EMF. Do you have dates for your psychotic events?

Today there is an R1 Radio Blackout predicted by Space Weather Now (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/SWN/index.html); however, I slept well within my grounded Faraday cage, and woke up without joint pain. Nonetheless, at about 6AM this morning my back went out bad, so sleeping in a grounded Faraday cage is not a panacea, but then I did not expect it would be.
Arguably I had over-done lifting 10 5-gallon containers of fuel several times from Friday through the weekend, while acquiring and processing waste oil into fuel. However, the R1 Radio Blackout level solar storm activity might be the cause.
Additionally I ran out of cherry soft gels, so Anthocyanins might be an essential companion to the grounded Faraday cage treatment plan.
I just found this list of major CMEs for the 155 years
Impacts of Solar Weather (http://www.thesuntoday.org/space-weather/impacts/)
September 1859
Aurora bright enough to read by seen extremely far south (Cuba). Telegraph systems ran without being powered. Some caught on far and operators were electrocuted. Considered to be the largest solar storm on record (estimates for an event of this magnitude today are up to $2 trillion).
May 1921
Entire New York Central Rail switching system knocked out. Telegraph and telephone disruptions worldwide.
March 1989
Huge magnetic storm caused the Quebec power grid to fail in 90 seconds leaving millions without power for up to 9 hours (total cost not just to the Quebec power grid estimated at over $2 billion).
October/November 2003
Major loss of GPS accuracy with errors over 50 meters, transformer failures in South Africa, major HF radio blackouts, 30 satellite anomalies including one satellite loss (many billions of $s).

I am beginning to consider that solar originating EMF does not just effect arthritics, but could effect the entire organism of all creatures, not just humans. Thus, your psychoses might very well have been due to solar originating EMF. Do you have dates for your psychotic events?
Interesting theory that is worth investigating.
Maybe there is a correlation between EMF and the occurrence of psychotic states. The most significant manic episodes that were particularly strong in my case history occurred in late September 1979; the end of June 1982; and in early December 2001. These episodes typically lasted for three months or so. I can't give you specific dates.
-
Michel, all of your manic episodes seem to correlate with the solar max periods. See Solar cycle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle)
-
Your right, Jhananda. Although it could be coincidental. Of course we would need a much broader set of data.

Yes, a larger data set is in order; however, your data supports the premise.

Last week I received an aluminum hard hat, which I plan to use for shielding my head. I modified it so with a bare copper wire that would be in contact with my skin and hair.

It seems like my back is improving rapidly. I do not need a cane any more, but I still have some stiffness and pain when getting up from a chair.
-
This morning is the first morning in 5 days that I have gotten up to find my back better again, which is a bit of a record for how bad it had gotten on Monday. Perhaps wearing the conductive clothing yesterday is why my back suddenly got better this morning.

A massive formation on the sun made of super-hot magnetic plasma erupted this week in an explosive solar storm captured on video by NASA spacecraft.
The huge plasma tendril, known as a solar filament, erupted on Wednesday (June 4), blowing part of itself out into space in what astronomers call a coronal mass ejection, or CME. NASA's powerful Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded video of the solar filament eruption while the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory tracked the subsequent CME.

I have to wounder why they called it "Earthing?" Is it because if they called it "grounding" the practice would seem to common place?
Also, my findings show it is not just grounding, nor is it just shielding, but both. And both grounding and shielding seem to be about 4 to 10 times as effective than just one or the other. However, it is good to know that others support my findings.

My back was a little tender yesterday, but I was able to work on my swamp cooler and get it running by the end of the day, which was needed because it has been in the 90s F (30s C) here all week. I awoke from good sleep all night and pain-free. Space weather (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/SWN/index.html) has reported an R1 Radio Blackout level in the past 24 hrs.
This morning I completed the electrical connection between my body and the grounding wire that I attached to the bottom of my shoe, so that I am now fully grounded and shielded all day. I found that the grounding strap with the velcro was too small to wrap around my ankle, but the grounding strap with the elastic band would stretch enough to get it around my foot and created a positive contact with my skin at my ankle.
(http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j411/jhananda/Faraday%20Cage/anklegroundingstrap21182_zps98aa5237.jpg)(http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j411/jhananda/Faraday%20Cage/anklegroundingstrap21192_zpsb048a47c.jpg)
I then put a sock on over the strap and wrapped the wire coil around my ankle just to keep from tripping over it when I walk.

As a product of these solar flare emissions we had a G-2 level geomagnetic storm 2 days ago, and yesterday we had an R3 level radio blackout.
2014-06-12 17:58 Region 2087 still bears watching (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/WhatsNew.html)
Solar activity is ticking along at minor to moderate levels (R1-R2 radio blackouts) with the potential to throw more significant activity our way. There are several regions contributing to the activity, but most of it is still coming from NOAA Active Region 2087, which produced those 3 strong (R3) radio blackouts in the previous two days. Forecasters are keeping a close eye on the Sun and we will update you should conditions warrant it.
Stay tuned here for information on these events or additional space weather as it happens.
I had minor level inflammations in the last 2 days, possibly in association with these solar storms. So, I am not sure if the electromagnetic shielding is as effective as I had hoped for. Or, perhaps I need to beef up the shielding. So, I resorted to prunus species ciders, which helped.

The wide conductive belt that I made a few days ago was too wide, making it difficult to maneuver, so yesterday I made another conductive belt by cutting a strip of copper and riveting it onto an existing leather belt. I wore it the rest of the day.

I have not noticed any significant change in my world-view, or health from wearing conductive clothing all day, but my health is better and the joint pain is all gone; but recently my back went out, which healed quicker than normal, possibly due to sleeping in a grounded Faraday cage, and wearing conductive clothing.
My conclusion is spending as much time every day in a grounded Faraday cage is no panacea; however, it does seem to improve my health and reduce my inflammation; therefore it is reasonable to consider that it could help others. It would be useful to hear from others who are spending a significant amount of time every day in a grounded Faraday cage.
-
Jeffrey, I know my exposure to electromagnetic energy is trivial compared with you, but during my 6 year Air Force career I was exposed to the energy pulsed by the radar antennas at at least 7 or 8 sites - my remote Alaskan site for a year. We used Faraday cages to block the energy from making a beep on tape recordings. I did not believe the pulsed energy was harmful to me at the time, but now I wonder... Stu
-
Stu, while it is possible that high frequency man-made EFM signals might pose a health problem due to long exposure; the evidence is indicating that the real health hazard is the naturally occurring low frequency EMF from the global electric circuit during solar max periods, and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs).

Hello Forum
I was just noticing this thread on using a Faraday Cage.
I have been using one to sleep in for about 4 years but took it apart about 1 week ago to renovate the bedroom.
I had been using it to try and stop what is called the "Taos Hum" and
it did work to a certain degree.
Since I have taken it apart my tinnitus is up about 10% and I have more difficulty in sleeping.
I also sleep in the camper sometimes and since it is aluminum and plugged into the power system it is grounded and would probably be
a Faraday Cage and also works for me.
I have been wondering about Solar flares and did have an OOB into the Solar wind and found it was a horrendous experience, it was extremely fast and very noisy, some of that noise I hear right now as tinnitus. The Buddhists I think call the noises the Anahata sounds, any way I am still trying to sleep better. Meditating makes the noise go up in pitch and I feel much better, but if I have a good meditation then I don't sleep?
Bless Valdy
Hope you guys have a good summer : -)

Thank-you, Valdy, for filing your report on using a Faraday Cage. I have not found any reduction in my charismatic hearing, which you called the "Taos Hum," from spending more time in a grounded Faraday Cage.

I have now been sleeping in a grounded Faraday cage for 1 month. While my health has cycled up and down, over all my health has been better than it has in 3 years, so I am convinced that at least sleeping in a grounded Faraday cage has made the most significant improvement in my health than any other thing that I have done; however, Anthocyanin (http://fruitofthecontemplativelife.org/forum/index.php/topic,707.0.html) has also made a profound improvement.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Approves Reliability Standard on Geomagnetic Disturbances (http://www.natlawreview.com/article/federal-energy-regulatory-commission-ferc-approves-reliability-standard-geomagnetic-)
FERC has approved a new Reliability Standard to address Geomagnetic Disturbances (GMDs). EOP-010-1 (Geomagnetic Disturbance Operations) is the first in a set of Reliability Standards addressing the threat of GMDs to bulk-power system reliability. FERC’s concern with GMDs has been that they can create geomagnetically induced currents in transformers, which can, in turn, increase the absorption of reactive power, create harmonics, and cause transformer spot-heating. Ultimately, the loss of reactive power this causes could result in voltage instability, relay misoperations, and equipment damage.

This morning I had one of many conversations with my new neighbor regarding his health problems, which are episodic gastrointestinal inflammations, as well as chronic back-pain. I asked him this time how long had he been dealing with these medical problems.
He said, "It all started 3 years ago when I moved back to Sedona."
The light went on for me, because the current solar max started 3 years ago. He has been following my health progress, and knows it is due to both spending a fair amount of time living in a grounded Faraday cage, and consuming Anthocyanin. He is interested in both.
He is living on social security, which is barely enough to live on, so we are discussing various ways to make it affordable for him to at least sleep in a grounded Faraday cage. The cheapest idea I could come up with was to purchase a pair of conductive coveralls. That was out of budget for him at more than $100. So, the next option is to line his bedroom with either aluminum bug screening, or aluminum foil, but I do not believe it will be cheaper.
For those who can afford to convert, or purchase, a house that incorporates a grounded Faraday cage, then a stuccoed house will be lined with galvanized lath, which could easily be grounded, but is most probably not. Additionally, a steel roof covering would also be needed, and of course grounded. Also aluminum bug screening could replace all of the screened windows that use nylon screening, and they would have to be electrically tied to the shell, and/or grounded. Here are some links to one couple in Boulder, Colorado, who modified their entire house to be a Faraday cage. I do not know if they made sure it was grounded as well.

Jun 30 0008 UTC WARNING: Geomagnetic K-index of 4 expected currently R1 level Radio Blackout
In the more than a month since I have slept in a grounded Faraday cage, and worn conductive clothing I have found that my health still cycles around joint pain and/or chronic fatigue, but nowhere near as badly as it used to. Every other day I will have a good day, followed by either an achy day, or a fatigue day. I still find significant relief from taking foods that are high in Anthocyanins.
This morning I woke up with an achy back, which might be related to the Space Weather alert. It is also possible that the hot weather is another trigger for my various health problems, as I have noticed this in the past, and is why I moved to the higher elevations of central Arizona. I plan to move higher still for the rest of the summer.

Why Has the Sun Gone So Quiet? (http://news.discovery.com/space/astronomy/why-has-the-sun-gone-so-quiet-140722.htm) Jul 22, 2014 07:11 PM ET // by Ian O'Neill. The article clearly shows that solar scientists simply do not know what makes the sun active, and what makes it inactive. My hypothesis is when we spend enough time scrutinizing the sun, then we will find that it is debris falling into the sun that drives its cycle from minimum output to maximum output; as well as the causal force behind the coronal mass ejections (CME); because the meteor shower cycle also follows an 11-year cycle, as does the sun. It is this debris that is in an 11-year orbit around the sun that drives both the 11-year solar cycle (http://www.agu.org/wps/ChineseJGeo/53/03/ly.pdf), and the 11-year meteor cycle (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2007JIMO...35..134D).
It just so happens that if you examine the orbital periods of the planets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet) that Jupiter, being the largest planet in the solar system, has an 11.86 year orbital period. It suggests that Jupiter is therefore the source of the 11-year meteor cycle (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2007JIMO...35..134D), which causes the 11-year solar cycle (http://www.agu.org/wps/ChineseJGeo/53/03/ly.pdf).

Fascinating. I am watching your progress. If Michel or someone were to sleep in a faraday cage, and his unwanted mental conditions significantly improved, I would most likely find a way to make this work.

This is my working hypothesis that a grounded Faraday cage can help a lot of people, but I am still sorting through the variables.
I have been wearing conductive clothing with grounding for about 2 months now, but it does not seem to work significantly, nor does just grounding. On the other hand, I had been noticing for months before this that static electrical discharges from my body to any metallic object was a daily occurrence, but no longer occurs. So, I am leaning toward the problem not being electrical, but magnetic in nature; so I will be looking next into magnetic conductors and mu shields.
-
That sounds promising, as you may recall I had a helmet that use magnetism or electromagnetism to induce pain relief and "mystical" experiences. You had to keep track of the earth, moon and sun to get optimal effects. The theory born of it is that all humans are connected by the earth's magnetic field, further suggesting remote viewing and "knowings" (like when someone you are close with is in danger, yet they are on the other side of the planet), and similar phenomena occur through the field. And that would suggest magnetic shielding could in essence provide one with isolation or desensitization. I explain it poorly, but they have done many experiments. I forget the details, but I watched their experiments with individuals who could remote view (on their own), and it seemed conclusive.

It looked like the topic was going astray in a good way, so I split it off and moved it to the general section, but it just occurred to me that it belongs in the dark night of the soul section, so I will move it again.

This MRI was for my wrist. But I had the same thought. I wonder if immaterial energy is detectable with MRI. This isn't exactly what you meant by your comment, but it's still a wonder of mine. I haven't reviewed the image yet--but it's in my inbox.
-
I would not expect that immaterial "energy" or charisms will be measurable, because it is not electromagnetic; however, there might be some brain shifts associated with becoming charismatic, which might be observable; however, we would need to do MRI brain scans on a larger sample of charismatic subjects than one.

Yeah, that's a good point. That was a pretty stupid comment I made.
I don't know if we'll see the MRI scans (charisms) anytime soon.

NASA maps out giant solar eruption as it swept past Earth's orbit (http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/nasa-maps-out-giant-solar-eruption-as-it-swept-past-earths-orbit/36557/)
Wednesday, September 24, 2014, 12:58 PM - In July 2012, NASA satellites observed three solar eruptions blasting out in quick succession, producing an immense wave of solar matter that, had it impacted on Earth's magnetic field, may have disrupted satellites and caused widespread blackouts here on the surface that could have lasted for months. A new study, using data from those satellites and from Earth-based observatories, is giving us the clearest look so far at the enormity of this event.

I have spent a lot of time in the last 40 years investigating Shielding and grounding for personal health, and in technical research. I know from shielding signals in a research lab that both shielding and grounding are needed for a clean signal.
It occurred to me that it is all too easy to modify, or purchase, a house that is properly shielded and grounded. The building technique called "stucco" is essentially and excellent shield; however, the work crews who apply stucco do not understand shielding and grounding, and are not careful to apply the stucco so that it is a good grounded shield. However, someone who understands shielding and grounding could manage a work crew who could easily modify an existing stuccoed home to make it a good grounded EMF shield.
The all too simple method of assuring a stuccoed structure is a properly grounded EMF shield would be to expose the bottom layer of lath, then bond a solid copper 8AWG wire to the bottom of the lath, then tie the solid copper 8AWG wire to metal plumbing that goes into the ground.
However, shielding the walls without shielding the roof is insufficient shielding and grounding. Nonetheless, a simple metal roof installed on top of the stuccoed home would make the entire structure an excellent grounded shield as long as someone who understands shielding and grounding is there to manage the construction crew.
The all too simple method of assuring a metal roof is a properly grounded EMF shield would be to expose the top layer of lath on a stuccoed building, then run a solid copper 8AWG wire from the roof flashing to the exposed lath. Now you have a fully, and properly grounded EMF shield to live in.
Further, even electrical wires could be run throughout a shielded and grounded structure, as long as all of the wires run through metal conduit. Even all of the outlets could have metal doors on them, which is standard electrical equipment available at any hardware store.
-
All one would have to do to effectively shield high frequency EMF in addition to the above suggestions, would be to install aluminum bug screening on all of the windows and doors, and just make sure that all of the aluminum bug screening is in electrical contact with ground.

Joint inflammation has been increasing for several days. The last few afternoons joint pain has been severe.
I have also noticed in the last week or so that static electricity has returned.
I noticed about 6 months ago that static electricity, which had been significant, had completely disappeared, immediately following when I grounded my van. At the time I thought the disappearance of the static electricity, and my joint pain, were due to the grounding of my van. However, since both are back, the cessation might just have been due to the quietude of the sun, and now that it has gotten active again, both are back.
Coincident with the increase in solar activity, and my joint pain, a friend has reported a severe attack of gout. I believe these are all due to the increase in solar activity.
So far sleeping in a grounded and shielded container is making my joint pain manageable.

Solar storm of 1859, AKA the Carrington Event (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859).
The solar storm of 1859, also known as the Carrington Event,[1] was a powerful geomagnetic solar storm in 1859 during solar cycle 10. A solar coronal mass ejection hit Earth's magnetosphere and induced one of the largest geomagnetic storms on record. The associated "white light flare" in the solar photosphere was observed and recorded by English astronomers Richard C. Carrington and Richard Hodgson.
Studies have shown that a solar storm of this magnitude occurring today would likely cause widespread problems for modern civilization. There is an estimated 12% chance of a similar event occurring between 2012 and 2022.[2]
Carrington Super Flare
From August 28 through September 2, 1859, numerous sunspots were observed on the Sun. On August 29, southern aurorae were observed as far north as Queensland in Australia.[3] Just before noon on September 1, the English amateur astronomers Richard Carrington and Richard Hodgson independently made the first observations of a solar flare.[4] The flare was associated with a major coronal mass ejection (CME) that travelled directly toward Earth, taking 17.6 hours to make the 93 million mile journey. It is believed that the relatively high speed of this CME (typical CMEs take several days to arrive at Earth) was made possible by a prior CME, perhaps the cause of the large aurora event on August 29, that "cleared the way" of ambient solar wind plasma for the Carrington event.[4]
Because of a simultaneous "crochet" observed in the Kew Observatory magnetometer record by Scottish physicist Balfour Stewart and a geomagnetic storm observed the following day, Carrington suspected a solar-terrestrial connection. Worldwide reports on the effects of the geomagnetic storm of 1859 were compiled and published by Elias Loomis, which support the observations of Carrington and Stewart.
On September 1–2, 1859, one of the largest recorded geomagnetic storms (as recorded by ground-based magnetometers) occurred. Aurorae were seen around the world, those in the northern hemisphere even as far south as the Caribbean; those over the Rocky Mountains were so bright that their glow awoke gold miners, who began preparing breakfast because they thought it was morning.[4] People who happened to be awake in the northeastern US could read a newspaper by the aurora's light.[5] The aurora was visible as far from the poles as Cuba and Hawaii.[6]
Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases giving telegraph operators electric shocks.[7] Telegraph pylons threw sparks.[8] Some telegraph systems continued to send and receive messages despite having been disconnected from their power supplies.[9]
On Saturday, September 3, 1859, the Baltimore American and Commercial Advertiser reported, "Those who happened to be out late on Thursday night had an opportunity of witnessing another magnificent display of the auroral lights. The phenomenon was very similar to the display on Sunday night, though at times the light was, if possible, more brilliant, and the prismatic hues more varied and gorgeous. The light appeared to cover the whole firmament, apparently like a luminous cloud, through which the stars of the larger magnitude indistinctly shone. The light was greater than that of the moon at its full, but had an indescribable softness and delicacy that seemed to envelop everything upon which it rested. Between 12 and 1 o'clock, when the display was at its full brilliancy, the quiet streets of the city resting under this strange light, presented a beautiful as well as singular appearance."[10]
In June 2013, a joint venture from researchers at Lloyd's of London and Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER) in the United States used data from the Carrington Event to estimate the current cost of a similar event to the US alone at $0.6–2.6 trillion.[11]
Similar events
Ice cores containing thin nitrate-rich layers have been analyzed to reconstruct a history of past solar storms predating reliable observations. Data from Greenland ice cores, gathered by Kenneth G. McCracken[12] and others, show evidence that events of this magnitude—as measured by high-energy proton radiation, not geomagnetic effect—occur approximately once per 500 years, with events at least one-fifth as large occurring several times per century.[13] However, more recent work by the ice core community (McCracken et al. are space scientists) shows that nitrate spikes are not a result of solar energetic particle events, so use of this technique is in doubt. 10Be and 14C are considered to be more reliable indicators by the ice core community.[14] These similar but much more extreme cosmic ray events, however, may originate outside the solar system and even outside the galaxy. Less severe storms have occurred in 1921 and 1960, when widespread radio disruption was reported. The March 1989 geomagnetic storm knocked out power across large sections of Quebec. On July 23, 2012 a "Carrington-class" Solar Superstorm (Solar flare, Coronal mass ejection, Solar EMP) was observed; its trajectory missed Earth in orbit. Information about these observations was shared first publicly by NASA on April 28, 2014.[2][15]
If we had another one of these events the entire industrial age would collapse and billions of people would starve to death in weeks. Records indicate we have one ever couple of centuries.
There is also some evidence that Coronal mass ejections stimulate conflict among human populations.
The American Civil War, widely known in the United States as simply the Civil War as well as other sectional names, was fought from 1861 to 1865. Seven Southern slave states individually declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America, known as the "Confederacy" or the "South". They grew to include eleven states, and although they claimed thirteen states and additional western territories, the Confederacy was never recognized by a foreign country. The states that did not declare secession were known as the "Union" or the "North". The war had its origin in the fractious issue of slavery, especially the extension of slavery into the western territories.[N 1] After four years of bloody combat that left over 600,000 Union and Confederate soldiers dead, and destroyed much of the South's infrastructure, the Confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and the difficult Reconstruction process of restoring national unity and guaranteeing civil rights to the freed slaves began.
My medical response to geomagnetic disturbances suggests that there would also be wide spread illness, or at least joint pain experienced by people all over the world.

To keep from causing billions of people from starving to death due to a Carington level Solar Event causing the permanent damage of computers, which are the backbone of the infrastructure of the industrial age, which will cause it to collapse; then Radiation hardening of the entire global infrastructure of the power generation, power transmission, transportation and communication network is necessary. Radiation Hardening (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hardening) is the technology that might protect such equipment.
Radiation hardening is the act of making electronic components and systems resistant to damage or malfunctions caused by ionizing radiation (particle radiation and high-energy electromagnetic radiation),[1] such as those encountered in outer space and high-altitude flight, around nuclear reactors and particle accelerators, or during nuclear accidents or nuclear warfare.
Most semiconductor electronic components are susceptible to radiation damage; radiation-hardened components are based on their non-hardened equivalents, with some design and manufacturing variations that reduce the susceptibility to radiation damage. Due to the extensive development and testing required to produce a radiation-tolerant design of a microelectronic chip, radiation-hardened chips tend to lag behind the most recent developments.
Radiation-hardened products are typically tested to one or more resultant effects tests, including total ionizing dose (TID), enhanced low dose rate effects (ELDRS), neutron and proton displacement damage, and single event effects (SEE, SET, SEL and SEB).
Radiation-hardening techniques
Physical:
Hardened chips are often manufactured on insulating substrates instead of the usual semiconductor wafers. Silicon on Insulator (SOI) and sapphire (SOS) are commonly used. While normal commercial-grade chips can withstand between 50 and 100 gray (5 and 10 krad), space-grade SOI and SOS chips can survive doses many orders of magnitude greater. At one time many 4000 series chips were available in radiation-hardened versions (RadHard).[3]
Bipolar integrated circuits generally have higher radiation tolerance than CMOS circuits. The low-power Schottky (LS) 5400 series can withstand 1000 krad, and many ECL devices can withstand 10 000 krad.[3]
Magnetoresistive RAM, or MRAM, is considered a likely candidate to provide radiation hardened, rewritable, non-volatile conductor memory. Physical principles and early tests suggest that MRAM is not susceptible to ionization-induced data loss.
Shielding the package against radioactivity, to reduce exposure of the bare device.
Capacitor-based DRAM is often replaced by more rugged (but larger, and more expensive) SRAM.
Choice of substrate with wide band gap, which gives it higher tolerance to deep-level defects; e.g. silicon carbide or gallium nitride.
Shielding the chips themselves by use of depleted boron (consisting only of isotope Boron-11) in the borophosphosilicate glass passivation layer protecting the chips, as boron-10 readily captures neutrons and undergoes alpha decay (see soft error).
Logical:
Error correcting memory uses additional parity bits to check for and possibly correct corrupted data. Since radiation effects damage the memory content even when the system is not accessing the RAM, a "scrubber" circuit must continuously sweep the RAM; reading out the data, checking the parity for data errors, then writing back any corrections to the RAM.
Redundant elements can be used at the system level. Three separate microprocessor boards may independently compute an answer to a calculation and compare their answers. Any system that produces a minority result will recalculate. Logic may be added such that if repeated errors occur from the same system, that board is shut down.
Redundant elements may be used at the circuit level.[4] A single bit may be replaced with three bits and separate "voting logic" for each bit to continuously determine its result. This increases area of a chip design by a factor of 5, so must be reserved for smaller designs. But it has the secondary advantage of also being "fail-safe" in real time. In the event of a single-bit failure (which may be unrelated to radiation), the voting logic will continue to produce the correct result without resorting to a watchdog timer. System level voting between three separate processor systems will generally need to use some circuit-level voting logic to perform the votes between the three processor systems.
Hardened latches may be used.[5]
A watchdog timer will perform a hard reset of a system unless some sequence is performed that generally indicates the system is alive, such as a write operation from an onboard processor. During normal operation, software schedules a write to the watchdog timer at regular intervals to prevent the timer from running out. If radiation causes the processor to operate incorrectly, it is unlikely the software will work correctly enough to clear the watchdog timer. The watchdog eventually times out and forces a hard reset to the system. This is considered a last resort to other methods of radiation hardening.

Recently my off-grid solar system was criticized for being a source of ElectroMagnetic Field (EMF). At the time I dismissed the criticism, because all of the equipment is heavily shielded by heat sinks. However, yesterday I pulled out my EMF meeter, and waved it about the equipment. The EMF meeter read zero until I got the meeter within an inch of the equipment and cables, then it indeed read the presence of a small ElectroMagnetic Field (EMF).
However, one must keep in mind Newton's theory of gravity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_law_of_universal_gravitation), which happens to apply to all ElectroMagnetic Fields (EMF).
in Newton's theory of gravity, the gravitational field strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the gravitating object.
This means that an ElectroMagnetic Field (EMF) that is only detectable at a distance of 1 inch (2.45cm), is going to be negligeble at the distance of yards (meters), let alone miles. Nonetheless, it is all too easy to enclose the entire off-grid solar system, other than the panels, in a steel shed that is grounded. Doing so should reduce the small EMF emitted by the system to zero.

With the recent increase in solar activity I have noticed that there is an increase in inflammation. Also with the arrival of a 2 day snow storm here I retreated indoors for warmth, which means I have not slept in the grounded Faraday cage for 2 nights now.

With all of the recent increase in solar activity I have noticed static electric discharges are become common. I wonder if anyone else has noticed increased static electric discharges?
Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge. Static electricity is named in contrast with current electricity, which flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy.[1]
A static electric charge is created whenever two surfaces contact and separate, and at least one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electrical current (and is therefore an electrical insulator). The effects of static electricity are familiar to most people because people can feel, hear, and even see the spark as the excess charge is neutralized when brought close to a large electrical conductor (for example, a path to ground), or a region with an excess charge of the opposite polarity (positive or negative). The familiar phenomenon of a static shock–more specifically, an electrostatic discharge–is caused by the neutralization of charge.

I have not experienced an increase in static electricity or discharges. However, the information you provided on it has caused me to see some sort of deeper interconnection regarding static electricity. I find myself looking back on days when it seemed every other moment I accidentally shocked someone or something. It suddenly seems as though static electricity hasn't gotten enough attention.
-
Thanks, Jhanon for your feedback. It could be the reason why I am experiencing more static electricity in my environment than you is the geology here is rich in iron; whereas, it may not be where you are. Another possibility is altitude may have something to do with the difference. Sedona is at 4500 feet above sea level. Perhaps you are much nearer to sea level.
We now have an explanation for why the sun has recently become active again.

I'm not educated enough on either the sun or static electricity to add value to your theories, although I do not doubt I should and will be.
However, this thread about relationships between the sun, electromagnetic radiation, and changes in the human being have caused me to realize something.
If I recall accurately, this sun stuff started getting unusual about 4 or 5 days ago. Which is around the time I began to experience unusual heart/blood pressure abnormalities and associated side effects. But I have not made any changes lately, and have watched carefully food, lifestyle, and medicine. Until I get in to the doctor, I will continue to wonder.
-
There might not be any connection at all between the sun's activity, and your recent "unusual heart/blood pressure abnormalities." I have just noticed some very odd coincidences between solar activity, and my personal health issues. So, this thread is more about encouraging people to observe, and note such coincidences. Perhaps after we accrue sufficient data, then we might be able to make some conclusions.

I understand. I think the reason I don't interact much on this thread in such a way isn't because it's not compelling, but because there are too many personal variables I've yet to eliminate.

There is not much reason to interact on this thread, unless you begin to notice any physical, or emotional, or psychic reaction to the Space Weather (http://origin-www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/alerts-watches-and-warnings). It just so happens that I have had strange intense jabs of joint pain for decades, which has always seemed electrical in nature, but I had no way to identify the source. Now that Space Weather (http://origin-www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/alerts-watches-and-warnings) reported as it occurs by NOAA I can monitor my joint pain along with Space Weather (http://origin-www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/alerts-watches-and-warnings). I just so happens that along with the recent increase in Space Weather (http://origin-www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/alerts-watches-and-warnings) I have had a significant increase in these sharp jabs of joint pain, and it seems to be related to the K-index emissions.

Yesterday, the day before it, and today I've experienced severe stomach pain. I've had stomach pain all my life, but with the introduction of clean eating, MMJ, and the herbal opioid-like pain reliever, I've been fine for most of the last three years.
Eating only fruit is my option when the bad ones come, but even this isn't working today. Because eating is so painful, and none of the doctors, including naturopaths, can figure out how to eliminate it completely--and because I haven't used marijuana for a couple years; I've been wasting away on a few pieces of fruit a day.
Today I had an emotional breakdown, which honestly there was no apparent reason for. The reason the intellect provided wasn't rational. What I think it actually is, is a combination of being starved and in pain.
About an hour ago, this stomach pain returned and is very strong. Interestingly, if i take the medication the doctor gave me for stomach pain, I experience a drunken, disoriented stupor. So I can't take it, either. I've experienced a lot of strange behavior. I even called my doc's nurse and broke down crying on the phone because of the pain.
It's just unusual. So I'm listing it.
-
Sorry to here about your stomach pains, Jhanon. I wish I could do something to help. I hope that you get better soon. Maybe you can be partially feed intravenously?

The more I hear about your health condition, the more I am convinced that you have an underlying inflammation. So, if I were you, then I would concentrate my diet on foods that are rich in anthocyanin (http://fruitofthecontemplativelife.org/forum/index.php/topic,707.0.html).
Also, if you had significant health problems in the last week, then you might also be sensitive to electromagnetic fields (EMF), so if you learn and employ EMF shielding and grounding, then it is likely to help you.
Yesterday I awoke with significantly less joint pain from sleeping in the grounded van, than in the previous days not having slept in the grounded van. Upon waking I changed into work clothes, which are not shielded or grounded. Within a few hours joint pain had become significant, so I put on my EMF shielded suit. Within hours joint pain had receded significantly. So, the EMF shielded suit definitely works during Geomagnetic K-index of level 4 and above solar EMF events, which is what we have been having for at least a week now.
I also have noticed that my morning blood sugar reading has been rising for the last 5 days, and it has risen up to 40 points above my current baseline, with no change in my diet. However, after my first night's sleep back inside the grounded and shielded van, my blood sugar had dropped 33 point. Therefore, I believe it is reasonable to speculate that the cause of the current rising trend in my blood sugar, and the previous spike events in the last 2 months, may all be due to increased inflammation levels due to increasing EMF from the sun in the last 2 months.
Jan 08, My morning blood sugar reading this morning was 160

Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO), the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and the German and Austrian Governments jointly sponsored an international seminar in November of 1996 on the biological effects of low-level radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields. For purposes of this seminar, RF fields having frequencies only in the range of about 10 MHz to 300 GHz were considered. This is one of a series of scientific review seminars held under the International Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Project to identify any health hazards from EMF exposure. The scientific literature was reviewed during the seminar and expert working groups formed to provide a status report on possible health effects from exposure to low-level RF fields and identify gaps in knowledge requiring more research to improve health risk assessments.
It was concluded that, although hazards from exposure to high-level (thermal) RF fields were established, no known health hazards were associated with exposure to RF sources emitting fields too low to cause a significant temperature rise in tissue. Biological effects from low-level RF exposure were identified needing replication and further study. These included in vitro studies of cell kinetics and proliferation effects, effects on genes, signal transduction effects and alterations in membrane structure and function, and biophysical and biochemical mechanisms for RF field effects. In vivo studies should focus on the potential for cancer promotion, co-promotion and progression, as well as possible synergistic, genotoxic, immunological, and carcinogenic effects associated with chronic low-level RF exposure. Research is needed to determine whether low-level RF exposure causes DNA damage or influences central nervous system function, melatonin synthesis, permeability of the blood brain barrier (BBB), or reaction to neurotropic drugs. Reported RF-induced changes to eye structure and function should also be investigated.
Epidemiological studies should investigate: the use of mobile telephones with hand-held antennae and incidence of various cancers; reports of headache, sleep disturbance, and other subjective effects that may arise from proximity to RF emitters, and laboratory studies should be conducted on people reporting these effects; cohorts with high occupational RF exposure for changes in cancer incidence; adverse pregnancy outcomes in various highly RF exposed occupational groups; and ocular pathologies in mobile telephone users and in highly RF exposed occupational groups.
Studies of populations with residential exposure from point sources, such as broadcasting transmitters or mobile telephone base stations have caused widespread health concerns among the public, even though RF exposures are very low. Recent studies that may indicate an increased incidence of cancer in exposed populations should be investigated further. Bioelectromagnetics 19:1–19, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

ABSTRACT
Electric and magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the modern society, and concerns have been expressed regarding possible adverse effects of these exposures. This review covers epidemiologic research on health effects of exposures to static, extremely low-frequency (ELF), and radio frequency (RF) fields. Research on ELF fields has been performed for more than two decades, and the methodology and quality of studies have improved over time. Studies have consistently shown increased risk for childhood leukemia associated with ELF magnetic fields, whereas ELF fields most likely are not a risk factor for breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. There are still inadequate data for other outcomes. More recently, focus has shifted toward RF exposures from mobile telephony. There are no persuasive data suggesting a health risk, but this research field is still immature with regard to the quantity and quality of available data. This technology is constantly changing and there is a need for continued research on this issue. Almost no epidemiologic data are available for static fields.

Abstract
The influence of electromagnetic fields (EMF) emitted by cellular phones on preparatory slow brain potentials (SP) was studied in two different experimental tasks: In the first, healthy male human subjects had to perform simple self-paced finger movements to elicit a Bereitschaftspotential; in the second, they performed a complex and cognitive demanding visual monitoring task (VMT). Both tasks were performed with and without EMF exposure in counterbalanced order. Whereas subjects' performance did not differ between the EMF exposure conditions, SP parameters were influenced by EMF in the VMT: EMF exposure effected a significant decrease of SPs at central and temporo-parieto-occipital brain regions, but not at the frontal one. In the simple finger movement task, EMF did not affect the Bereitschaftspotential. Bioelectromagnetics 19:384–387, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Abstract:
Radiofrequency (RF) waves have long been used for different types of information exchange via the airwaves-wireless Morse code, radio, television, and wireless telephony (i.e., construction and operation of telephones or telephonic systems). Increasingly larger numbers of people rely on mobile telephone technology, and health concerns about the associated RF exposure have been raised, particularly because the mobile phone handset operates in close proximity to the human body, and also because large numbers of base station antennas are required to provide widespread availability of service to large populations. The World Health Organization convened an expert workshop to discuss the current state of cellular-telephone health issues, and this article brings together several of the key points that were addressed. The possibility of RF health effects has been investigated in epidemiology studies of cellular telephone users and workers in RF occupations, in experiments with animals exposed to cell-phone RF, and via biophysical consideration of cell-phone RF electric-field intensity and the effect of RF modulation schemes. As summarized here, these separate avenues of scientific investigation provide little support for adverse health effects arising from RF exposure at levels below current international standards. Moreover, radio and television broadcast waves have exposed populations to RF for > 50 years with little evidence of deleterious health consequences. Despite unavoidable uncertainty, current scientific data are consistent with the conclusion that public exposures to permissible RF levels from mobile telephony and base stations are not likely to adversely affect human health.
Human health consequences of environmentally-modulated gene expression: potential roles of ELF–EMF induced epigenetic versus mutagenic mechanisms of disease† (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/1521-186X%28200007%2921:5%3C402::AID-BEM9%3E3.0.CO;2-N/abstract)

Abstract
In order to determine if there might be biological and health consequences after exposures to extremely-low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF–EMF), either experimentally or epidemiologically, mechanistic understanding of the potential means by which any environmental agent can affect cells in a multicellular organism has to be reviewed. The goal of this limited review is to demonstrate that, while the prevailing paradigm of the environmentally-induced acute and chronic diseases involves either cell killing (cytotoxicity) or gene/chromosome mutations (genotoxicity), alteration of the expression of genetic information at the transcriptional (turning genes “on” or “off”), translational (stabilizing or de-stabilizing the genetic message), or posttranslational (altering the gene product or protein) levels has the potential to contribute to various diseases. This latter mechanism, “epigenetic” toxicity, unlike the former two which are irreversible, is characterized by threshold-like action, multiple biochemical pathways and chronic, regular exposures to be effective. Ultimately, epigenetic toxicants affect one of four potential cell states, namely alteration of cell proliferation, cell differentiation, programmed cell death (apoptosis) or adaptive responses of differentiated cells.

Abstract
Potential adverse effects of electromagnetic field exposure on the developing child have been discussed during the last decades. Effects during fetal development could have major consequences and possibly lead to various adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study summarizes the evidence on adverse pregnancy outcomes in relation to extremely low frequency (ELF) and radiofrequency (RF) exposures and briefly discusses other potential health effects, excluding cancer, following childhood exposures to these fields. Most studies of ELF exposures have not demonstrated any consistent risk increases for adverse pregnancy outcomes, but limitations in the exposure assessment methods and very limited power to study high exposure levels prevents any conclusions. Findings of an increased risk of spontaneous abortion in relation to maximum magnetic field exposures in two studies need to be confirmed. Studies of RF exposure have mostly been limited to physiotherapists and although some positive findings have been reported, no specific type of malformation or other adverse outcome has been consistently reported. Different types of symptoms and effects on cognitive function in relation to both ELF and RF fields have been reported in adults, but scientific studies have not confirmed that these symptoms are caused by the electromagnetic fields. No information is available for children. Bioelectromagnetics Supplement 7:S69–S74, 2005. © 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Jan 09, My morning blood sugar reading this morning was 161
The hole in the sun's corona has produced significant levels of EMF, which has caused me considerable joint pain for the last 5 days. I have found that I rest well at night inside my van, which I keep grounded.
Two days ago I started wearing my electrically conductive outfit, and it helped on the first day; however, yesterday it did not seem to help. As soon as I retreated to my van for the night, I had quick relief from joint pain for the whole night.
So, I will have to revise my conclusions from 2 days ago, and say, the EMF shielded suit made of conductive fabrics definitely works during Geomagnetic K-index disturbances of level 4 and below, which is what we have been having for at least a week now. However, it does not seem to work for Geomagnetic K-index disturbances of level 5 and above, which we had in the last 2 days.
Additionally, my morning blood sugar readings have risen, and remain, 40 points above my previous baseline, which puts it at the top of the scale of normal. So, I believe that there is a relationship between increased solar activity and my blood sugar level. This also suggests that, while the EMF shielded suit reduces joint pain, it does not seem to protect against the rise of blood sugar levels.
Space Weather (http://origin-www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/alerts-watches-and-warnings) did not report any more solar activity

Jan 10, My morning blood sugar reading this morning was 136
I am back to having massive joint pain today. It might be the coming 4 days of rain that we are expecting, but it might also be recent K-4 level solar activity reported today. I have watched this site now every day for about 9 months, and when I have joint pain, there is always solar activity reported there
Also, NOAA site that reports Real-Time Geomagnetic Conditions (http://geomag.usgs.gov/map/#realtime) that reports from magnetic field observatories has turned out to be very useful. The nearest one to me is in Tucson, and I have found when it is in the yellow and above I have massive joint pain, and it is in the yellow today. Total magnetic field (scalar) TUC Tucson Geomagnetic station 47486.6nT to 47525.2nT, a variation of 48.6nT, with a mean of about 47515nT.
I did find a solution. I just tried wrapping a piece of insulated 12 gauge solid wire around my injured knee, which has the worst pain, and it worked in minutes to reduce the pain-level. So, any unplugged in power cord will most probably work, just wrap it around your painful joints.
This actually reminds me when I worked as a psychiatric technician at a state metal hospital for the retarded in Tucson. There was the oldest known Down's Syndrome patient in the world. Next to his bed he had a whole drawer full of extension cords, and every now and then I would see him sitting on his bed draping the power cords all over his body. I thought it was because he was both retarded and insane. But, now I think he was on to something.

Do you use duck tape to hold it in place around your knee? I know Red Green would. LOL

I have arthritis in one of my fingers. I'll try wrapping a copper wire around it and see what happens.
-
Good question, Michel, and thanks for the laugh. Do remember that the Red Green show is a parody of inventors; and I am certain that the writers somehow met me while vacationing in Tucson. However, I have never been big on duct tape. Fact is, solid core copper wire is stiff enough that it really does not need anything to hold it into place, other than properly shaping it around, and above the joint.
The solid core copper wire, by the way, worked quite well. I had it wrapped around all of my major joints. So, the only joint that I had any pain in today was the recently injured knee, and the pain was quite manageable. I did take refuge for a nap in the van in the middle of the day, which further relieved the joint pain.
I have arthritis in one of my fingers. I'll try wrapping a copper wire around it and see what happens.
That I believe is a good idea, and please do let us know if it works at all. Also, do you find that your arthritic finger has variable pain from day-to-day? Or, is it a constant? If it is variable, then it most probably is responding to variations in the earth's electromagnetic field.

I have an abdominal hernia. I use duck tape to keep it in place sometimes when I go out so I won't draw attention. Works real good.

I tried 16 gauge insulated copper wire. It doesn't seem to work. I especially notice the pain in the finger joint when I play the guitar. I don't play very often in part due to this. It is really unnoticeable when I don't use it. I don't notice any variation in the intensity of the pain.
-
Then, copper wire may not help your finger, but you could try bare copper wire, if you wanted to pursue this.

With my health seeming to decline as the Solar Max increased, and my health improving from shielding and grounding, I have taken an interest in understanding more about EMF and its effect on health. So I searched Google for some scholarly articles on the subject and found this one:
Possible effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on human health—Opinion of the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) (http://ec.europa.eu/health/ph_risk/committees/04_scenihr/docs/scenihr_o_007.pdf)
ABSTRACT
The Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) has updated the previous opinion on ”Possible effects of Electromagnetic
Fields (EMF), Radio Frequency Fields (RF) and Microwave Radiation on human health” by the Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment (CSTEE) from 2001, with respect to whether or not exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) is a cause of disease or other health effects. The opinion is primarily based on scientific articles, published in English language peer-reviewed scientific journals. Only studies that are considered relevant for the task are cited and commented upon in the opinion. The opinion is divided into frequency (f) bands, namely: radio frequency (RF) (100 kHz < f ≤ 300 GHz), intermediate frequency (IF) (300 Hz < f ≤ 100 kHz), extremely low frequency (ELF) (0< f ≤ 300 Hz), and static (0 Hz) (only static magnetic fields are considered in this opinion). There is a separate section for environmental effects.
Radio Frequency Fields (RF fields)
Since the adoption of the 2001 opinion extensive research has been conducted regarding possible health effects of exposure to low intensity RF fields, including epidemiologic, in vivo, and in vitro research.
In conclusion, no health effect has been consistently demonstrated at exposure levels below the limits of ICNIRP (International Committee on Non Ionising Radiation Protection) established in 1998. However, the database for evaluation remains limited especially for long-term low-level exposure.
Intermediate Frequency Fields (IF fields)
Experimental and epidemiological data from the IF range are very sparse. Therefore, assessment of acute health risks in the IF range is currently based on known hazards at lower frequencies and higher frequencies. Proper evaluation and assessment of possible health effects from long-term exposure to IF fields are important because human exposure to such fields is increasing due to new and emerging technologies.
Extremely low frequency fields (ELF fields)
The previous conclusion that ELF magnetic fields are possibly carcinogenic, chiefly based on occurrence of childhood leukaemia, is still valid. For breast cancer and cardiovascular disease, recent research has indicated that an association is unlikely. For neurodegenerative diseases and brain tumours, the link to ELF fields remains uncertain.
No consistent relationship between ELF fields and self-reported symptoms (sometimes referred to as electrical hypersensitivity) has been demonstrated.
Static Fields
Adequate data for proper risk assessment of static magnetic fields are very sparse. Developments of technologies involving static magnetic fields, e.g. with MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) equipment require risk assessments to be made in relation to occupational exposure.
Environmental Effects
There are insufficient data to identify whether a single exposure standard is appropriate to protect all environmental species from EMF.
Similarly the data are inadequate to judge whether the environmental standards should be the same or significantly different from those appropriate to protect human health.
After Stu mentioned a flu epidemic in the USA, I then searched Google for it to find out more about the flu epidemic. I found Influenza Pandemics of the 20th Century by Edwin D. Kilbourne (http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/12/1/pdfs/05-1254.pdf)
Three worldwide (pandemic) outbreaks of influenza occurred in the 20th century: in 1918, 1957, and 1968...Not classified as true pandemics are 3 notable epidemics: a pseudopandemic in 1947 with low death rates, an epidemic in 1977 that was a pandemic in children, and an abortive epidemic of swine influenza in 1976 that was feared to have pandemic potential...Major influenza epidemics show no predictable periodicity or pattern, and all differ from one another.
Even though the author states "Major influenza epidemics show no predictable periodicity or pattern, and all differ from one another," it does not take a genius to see that all of these dates are separated by decades. This cannot be a coincidence.
So, I then searched Google for solar cycles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle) and found These influenza outbreaks appear to be decadal; and fall right on solar maximums.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e1/Sunspot-bfly.gif/600px-Sunspot-bfly.gif)
So, I then searched for Comets and Plagues and found this interesting research paper Comets and Contagion (http://journalofcosmology.com/Panspermia10.html), where they link historic data on comets and plagues; and they too fall onto the solar cycles. However, they unfortunately are arguing for Panspermia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panspermia), which means that life comes from space, which I do not have a problem with, but I do have a problem with plagues originating from space.
I believe a better argument is: comets are debris fields and when they pass closely to the sun some of that debris impacts the sun, which causes sunspots (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunspot), and coronal mass ejections (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_mass_ejection), which increase the background Electromagnetic field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_field) (EMF), which tends to increase inflammation in at least a percentage of the population, which makes them susceptible to disease, which can be epidemic proportions if enough people are affected by disturbances of the earth's electromagnetic field. These disturbances of the earth's electromagnetic field can also lead to mental illness, which can result in collective hysteria, which can result in war, or witch burnings.
Conclusion, build a Faraday Cage and have it accessible at all times.

Comet Encke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Encke)
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Hansilk2.png/350px-Hansilk2.png)
A Han Dynasty silk comet atlas, featuring drawings of comets believed by Victor Clube and Bill Napier to be related to the breakup of Encke's Comet in the past
or Encke's Comet (official designation: 2P/Encke) is a periodic comet that completes an orbit of the Sun once every 3.3 years. (This is the shortest period of a reasonable bright comet, but the faint main-belt comet 311P/PANSTARRS has a period of 3.2 years.) Encke was first recorded by Pierre Méchain in 1786, but it was not recognized as a periodic comet until 1819 when its orbit was computed by Johann Franz Encke; like Halley's Comet, it is unusual in being named after the calculator of its orbit rather than its discoverer. Like most other comets, it has a very low albedo, reflecting only 4.6% of the light it receives. The diameter of the nucleus of Encke's Comet is 4.8 km.[2]
Discovery
As its official designation implies, Encke's Comet was the first periodic comet discovered after Halley's Comet (designated 1P/Halley). It was independently observed by several astronomers, the second being Caroline Herschel in 1795.[3] Its orbit was calculated by Johann Franz Encke, who through laborious calculations was able to link observations of comets in 1786 (designated 2P/1786 B1), 1795 (2P/1795 V1), 1805 (2P/1805 U1) and 1818 (2P/1818 W1) to the same object. In 1819 he published his conclusions in the journal Correspondance astronomique, and predicted correctly its return in 1822 (2P/1822 L1). It was recovered by Carl Ludwig Christian Rümker at Parramatta Observatory on 2 June 1822.[4]
Orbit
Comets are in unstable orbits that evolve over time due to perturbations and outgassing. Given Encke's low orbital inclination near the ecliptic and brief orbital period of 3 years, the orbit of Encke is frequently perturbed by the inner planets.[5]
Encke's orbit gets as close as 0.17309 AU (25,894,000 km; 16,090,000 mi) to Earth (minimum orbit intersection distance).[5] On 4 July 1997 Encke passed 0.19 AU from Earth, and on June 29, 2172 it will make a close approach of roughly 0.1735 AU.[5] On 18 November 2013 it passed 0.02496 AU (3,734,000 km; 2,320,000 mi) from Mercury.[5] Close approaches to Earth usually occur every 33 years.
The failed CONTOUR mission was launched to study this comet, and also Schwassmann-Wachmann 3. On April 20, 2007, STEREO-A observed the tail of Comet Encke to be temporarily torn off by magnetic field disturbances caused by a coronal mass ejection (a blast of solar particles from the Sun).[6] The tail grew back due to the continuous shedding of dust and gas by the comet.[7]
Meteor showers
Comet Encke is believed to be the originator of several related meteor showers known as the Taurids (which are encountered as the Northern and Southern Taurids across November, and the Beta Taurids in late June and early July).[8][9] A shower has similarly been reported affecting Mercury.[10]
Near-Earth object 2004 TG10 may be a fragment of Encke.[11]
Mercury
Measurements on-board the NASA satellite MESSENGER have revealed Encke may contribute to seasonal meteor showers on Mercury. The Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer (MASCS) instrument discovered seasonal surges of calcium since the probe began orbiting the planet in March 2011. The spikes in calcium levels are thought to originate from small dust partials hitting the planet and knocking calcium-bearing molecules into the atmosphere in a process called impact vaporization. However, the general background of interplanetary dust in the inner Solar System cannot, by itself, account for the periodic spikes in calcium. This suggests a periodic source of additional dust, for example, a cometary debris field. [12]
Effects on Earth
More than one theory has associated Encke's Comet with impacts of cometary material on Earth, and with cultural significance.
The Tunguska event of 1908, probably caused by the impact of a cometary body, has also been postulated by Czechoslovakian astronomer Ľubor Kresák as a fragment of Comet Encke.[13]
Importance in the scientific history of luminiferous aether
Comet Encke (and Biela's Comet) had a role in scientific history in the generally discredited concept of luminiferous aether. As its orbit was perturbed and shortened, the shortening could only be ascribed to the drag of an "ether" through which it orbited in outer space. One reference, [1], reads:
Encke's comet is found to lose about two days in each successive period of 1200 days. Biela's comet, with twice that length of period, loses about one day. That is, the successive returns of these bodies is found to be accelerated by this amount. No other cause for this irregularity has been found but the agency of the supposed ether.

Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.

Thank-you, gandarloda, for expressing your thoughts of concern. I believe that I am getting closer to a solution to my various inflammatory conditions. Here is part of it:
Alexander Chizhevsky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Chizhevsky)
Alexander Chizhevsky Russian: Алекса́ндр Леони́дович Чиже́вский (also Aleksandr Leonidovich Tchijevsky) (7 February 1897 – 20 December 1964) was a Soviet-era interdisciplinary scientist, a biophysicist who founded "heliobiology" (study of the sun’s effect on biology) and "aero-ionization" (study of effect of ionization of air on biological entities).[1] He also was noted for his work in "cosmo-biology", biological rhythms and hematology."[2] He may be most notable for his use of historical research (historiometry) techniques to link the 11-year solar cycle, Earth’s climate and the mass activity of peoples.[1]
Sunspots and mass excitability
Chizhevsky proposed that not only did geomagnetic storms resulting from sunspot-related solar flares affect electrical usage, plane crashes, epidemics and grasshopper infestations, but human mental life and activity. Increased negative ionization in the atmosphere increased human mass excitability. Chizhevsky proposed that human history is influenced by the eleven-year peaks in sunspot activity, triggering humans en masse to act upon existing grievances and complaints through revolts, revolutions, civil wars and wars between nations.[6]

Physical Factors of ' the Historical Process (http://www.cyclesresearchinstitute.org/cycles-history/chizhevsky1.pdf)

Do Solar Storms Influence Our Behavior? (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/george-m-young/solar-storms-behavior_b_2220034.html)
One of the more fascinating Cosmist thinkers, a polymath, interdisciplinary scientist now highly honored in Russia but still little known in the West, was Alexander Chizhevsky (1867-1964), a gulag survivor in the 1940s for whom an asteroid was named in the 1970s, a heliobiologist who began his academic career writing about eighteenth century Russian poetry, later considered a leading candidate for a Nobel Prize in chemistry. During the Stalin years, he was found guilty of incorrect thought, of trying to reverse the course of scientific progress, turn chemistry back into alchemy and astronomy back into astrology. His "crime" was to have published a seminal work on the influence of solar storms on human history. His other groundbreaking studies, in aero-ionizization, had led to more eggs from hens and higher worker productivity in factories -- investigations that had won him drawers full of ribbons and medals. But to have suggested that it was not great Comrades Lenin and Stalin and their correct understanding of historical necessity that had led to the Great October Revolution, but sunstorms? -- to the gulag!
Chizhevsky, of course, had never argued that periodic bursts of solar energy were the sole or even prime cause of human events -- just that they were an important contributing factor, and could trigger actions that had been building up from a variety of other causes. He called his study of the correlation between periodic cycles of solar and human activity "historiometry" and presented his ideas in a 1918 doctoral dissertation "Analysis of Periodicity in the Worldwide Process," which was published a few years later as "Physical Factors of the Historical Process."...
As evidence for the correlation between cosmic and human periodicity, Chizhevsky produces graphs and charts showing sunspots and major historical events from the fifth century B.C. through the 1917 Revolution. He finds that the pattern of peaks and valleys of solar eruption are almost exactly identical to the peaks of war, revolution, and other manifestations of "mass excitability," and the valleys of peace, creativity, and "minimal mass excitability."

I really do not know what to look for. I am guessing that there will be some significant peaks or valleys in the geomagnetic record. What I have seen so far is 20-45nT variations, but they do not seem to correlate with variations in my health. So, I looked at the record of geomagnetic storms on the USGS website.
geomagnetic storm 1 June 2013
Peak Dst -120 nT
The sudden commencement of this storm reached 41 nT, placing it in the 70th percentile (30% of storms have a larger sudden commencement). The main phase of this storm had a minimum of -120nT, placing it in about the 65th percentile. The storm development was simple, with a single main phase depression which was seen fairly uniformly at low-latitudes.
I noticed that the F channel had a peak of 47699.2nT and a valley of 47626.2nT which had a differential of 67.0nT. It was about 200nT over the present conditions, which seems significant.

Geomagnetically Induced Currents (http://geomag.usgs.gov/research/GIC.php)
Geomagnetically-induced currents (GICs) flowing along electric power-transmission systems and other electrically-conducting infrastructure are produced by a naturally induced geo-electric field during geomagnetic disturbances. An extreme example of this type of occurrence was the great magnetic storm of March 1989, which was one of the largest geomagnetic disturbances of the twentieth century. Rapid geomagnetic field variation during this storm led to the induction of electric currents in the Earth's crust. These currents caused wide-spread blackouts across the Canadian Hydro-Quebec power grid, resulting in the loss of electric power to more than 6 million people (Allen, 1989; Czeck, 1992; Boteler, 1998; Kappenman, 1996, 2003; Thomson, 2010). If a similar storm-induced blackout had occurred in the Northeastern United States, the economic impact could have exceeded $10 billion (NRC, 2008; Baker et al., 2009; NRC report, 2009) not counting the negative impact on emergency services and the reduction in public safety associated with the loss of electric power in large cities.
GIC levels are primarily driven by impulsive geomagnetic disturbances created by the interaction between the Earth's magnetosphere and sharp velocity, density, and magnetic field enhancements in the solar wind. These disturbances result in ground-level time varying magnetic fields, which, when they reach high levels, produce GICs. On average, 200 days of strong to severe geomagnetic storms that could produce GICs on the surface of the Earth can be expected during a typical 11-year solar cycle (DoE-NERC, 2010). However, knowing exact levels of induced currents in power grid infrastructure during a geomagnetic event requires knowledge of deep earth conductivities and transmission line design parameters (NERC, 2012).

Jan 26, My morning blood sugar reading was 163. My blood sugar is up 30 points from yesterday. A small, but continued, increase in joint pain has been noticed.
At around 4:00 PM Tuesday, Mountain Time (MT) (11:00 PM Tuesday, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) ) I experienced extreme joint pain. However, I found relief from joint pain in my grounded van. I slept well there all night, relatively free of joint pain.

At 9:11GMT there was a sharp peak on the H and F channels, and a sharp trough on the E channel. The F channel read 47524.2 nT.
About 4PM GMT there was an RI level solar burst with an X-ray flux, but that occurred after my joint pain onset.

I've also had an increase in joint pain today. The medicine I use for these various physical pains has been kept at a consistent dose since I began noticing Jhananda's work with electromagnetic weather. It is still possible to be the cause of a couple other variables, but they are beginning to seem less likely as evidence amounts.
-
Interesting to note that you too, Jhanon, have experienced increased joint pain recently. You might be sensitive to Space Weather.
Jan 27, My morning blood sugar reading was 116. My blood sugar is down 47 points from yesterday. Joint pain now seems to be about the same as yesterday morning.

Today was much better. But there's so many factors at work like stress, energy-relationships (like with family), and subtle things like that. The odd thing is near noon, I became really tired. But I cannot determine the cause.
An interesting observation that got me active was that my daughter and I, even when not in physical proximity, have what seem to be almost identical states of body and mind--they change together. It seems my state of mind and body has an impact on her, and her on me. I meant to write a post, but need to rest/meditate.
Did, or do you experience this with your children or family?
-
Yes, I agree, Jhanon, our health has many factors, so we cannot expect a single factor to dominate, but I find investigating one's health is all part of the mindful-self-awareness of the contemplative life. And, through close observation of our health, we are likely find some causes, and thus solutions, to our recurring health issues.
Interesting observation that your health and your daughter's mirror each other. I have 2 children. I never noticed such a mirroring between my health and my children's health.

I think you're referring to solar storm or space storm, but when there is storms like thunder, rain, snow, or even fog coming--my legs will begin to hurt about a day in advance. If I leave shelter during the days these storms are going on, I will experience strong discomfort in my legs. Until I found an effective pain-reliving herb, I required a 30-minute bath almost every other day except during summer for my entire life.
I'm not looking forward to all the pain, discomfort and lost time which will result from coming off it entirely. I already need to lay down once during the day because of the fraction of pain and discomfort that makes its way through.

No, I was actually speaking of an atmospheric storm. It started raining here late yesterday afternoon and has not stopped since. Atmospheric storms do not seem to cause me discomfort; however, your experience supports that of many people who claim atmospheric storms cause them discomfort. Now the question is, what is the mechanism?
I believe the mechanism that causes some people discomfort due to atmospheric storms is the storm functions as a large plate capacitor that induces electromagnetic radiation from the ionosphere. The larger and taller the storm, the more electromagnetic radiation the storm is inducing, which causes greater discomfort for some people.

That sounds very likely to be the mechanism. A few comments:
1) I remember when I was very young, complaining to my mother about my legs, she told me that the entire family experiences leg pain before and during an incoming change in weather that is cold, damp, or includes thunder/lightning. This coincides with my previous statements that it strongly appears to me that a large portion of my family and extended family are proto-mystics. That's to say nothing of the naturally occuring mystical experiences they rarely share even with each other.
2) Lately, I've found myself observing the effects of simply resting my digital devices on my torso. This is going to sound crazy, which is why i've not shared it. But, every time I do, I experience discomfort in that localized region. It feels like things are being crunched, inflamed, and begin to feel like a strange, subtle burning. It's like the cells of that region are eating themselves. That's the most often way I explain it.
I've just recalled that digital devices emit electromagnetic radiation--although it appears to be "non-ionizing" radiation. It's worth mentioning research into cell phones causing cancer. None of this am I sufficiently informed about. But, i can certainly report my experiences.
Additional Note: I know nothing of HAARP other than the name, and it has something to do with the ionosphere and manipulation. But it's come to mind as I wrote this.

I do not see how being electromagnetically sensitive is something that is only common to mystics. After all, I qualify as a mystic, but the only health response I have ever noticed with respect to storms is I tend to have more respiratory and sinus allergies a day or 2 prior to a storm. But, it is known that a cloud of pollen and dust tends to precede storm events. On the other hand, my blood sugar has risen in the last 4 days, so perhaps it is a response to an electromagnetic influence from the storm. I guess I will have to document weather along with my solar and geomagnetic and solar wind observations to see where the influence lies.

As crazy as it might sound to the herd, you might just be electromagnetically sensitive. The HAARP project functions on low frequency EMF, and it has been proven that frequency EMF can cause health problems for some people; however, I do not believe that the HAARP project is undermining the health of everyone on planet Earth, after all the earth has a low frequency EMF; however, some people who live near the HAARP antennae might be at risk.

Feb 01, My morning blood sugar reading was 127, which was down 41 points from yesterday. Joint pain continues to be low and seems to be about the same as the last few days. Possibly because the 2-day atmospheric storm is finally over; however, I am inclined to believe it is due to a decline in space weather impacting the Earth shown by a decline of the Proton Flux and X-Ray Flux curves, because I have never noticed that atmospheric storms cause me discomfort other than allergies, but arguably I have not tracked my blood sugar and plotted it against atmospheric storm event.
Nonetheless, I might finally be getting some useable data to present another hypothesis that early 01-27-2015 my blood sugar was quite low at 116, then later that day the Proton Flux and X-Ray Flux curves began to rise. The next morning my blood sugar was up 47 points and remained high for the duration of this solar wind impact sequence.
It does not look like sun spots are the issue, because just because one happens does not mean that the Earth is going to be impacted by an extreme solar wind events; however those extreme solar wind events are the product of sun spots.

Feb 02, My morning blood sugar reading was 135, which was up 7 points from yesterday. Joint pain continues to be low and seems to be about the same as the last few days. Yesterday roughly between 10AM and 2PM I felt an unusual amount of fatigue. It might just have been my body needed a day off from moving preparations; or it is possible that the fatigue might have been my health response a Coronal Mass Ejection yesterday.

Feb 07, my morning blood sugar reading was 162, which was down only 1 point from yesterday, so it is still elevated. With my blood sugar still high it might be due to a lag in metabolic response to the solar storm that has now passed, or perhaps due to continued x-ray flux. Allergies persist, but are clearly declining. Joint pain continues to be low and seems to be about the same.
My working hypothesis is under change again, because while we are just over the peak of solar max, my joint pain has been considerably lower than last year. Also, examining the history of the solar cycles it looks like social and health issues seem to be more associated with the rise toward the peak, not as the peak slides down.
It is also worth noting that some social issues seem to be associated with the lowest ebb of the solar cycle, such as the real estate bubble bursting, and collapse of markets and banks world wide of 2008 and 9.

Feb 10, my morning blood sugar reading was 98, which was 35 points lower than yesterday, which is good, but I am not sure if all of these symptoms are related; because, while my allergies continue to worsen, my blood sugar has lowered. Joint pain has not increased over yesterday.
My working hypothesis has been that my allergies, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes are all due to an inflammatory condition, which is due to the rise in solar activity. Arguably we are over the solar max, yet we have recent solar activity. So, now the question that remains is, is it possible that inflammatory conditions are exacerbated by a the rise in solar activity, but different organ systems are targeted at different times, and when an organ systems is targeted, then other organ systems, which were targeted in the past, get a break and experience some recovery? Well, that sounds like a reach to me, but it is worth investigating.

Hello Jeff
As far as static electricity goes you could touch something
grounded now and then and walk barefoot in the summer.
I think I remember did you try grounded shoes?
Bless Valdy
-
Hello, Valdy. Good to hear from you again. Yes, I tried grounded shoes, grounding strap, conductive clothing, none of which seemed to reduce any of my inflammatory conditions; whoever, sleeping in my grounded van has reduced my rheumatoid arthritis events significantly. I have also noticed that my recent hey fever improves dramatically when I retreat to the van. So, my conclusion is living in a metal box might be the long term solution for my health. A reasonable metal box big enough to live in would be a metal building, a trailer or a camper. I am moving into a metal building for now, and will report back once I have moved in. Long term solution planned is a cab-over camper.

Feb 13, my morning blood sugar reading was 106, which is down 21 points from yesterday's, which is good, but the apparent random and wide ranging blood sugar readings are hard to explain, this is why I am gathering data in hopes that I will find some predictable cause. My hypothesis is my blood sugar is influenced by solar activity. So, the recent decline in blood sugar readings might be due to the recent decline in solar activity.

Feb 16, my morning blood sugar reading was 159, which is up 30 points from yesterday's. The continual rise suggests some external influence, which I believe might be EMF, if a link can be found. I have noticed that my recently declining daily blood sugar curve has matched the declining Estimated Planetary K-Index. There was a rise yesterday to level 3, as well as a recent rise in the Electron Proton Alpha Monitor (EPAMp) curves, parallel the rise in my daily blood sugar curve. So, there might be some relationship here, but more data will be needed to make a conclusion.

Estimated Planetary K-Index shows the K index is still declining
The K-index, and by extension the Planetary K-index, are used to characterize the magnitude of geomagnetic storms. Kp is an excellent indicator of disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field and is used by SWPC to decide whether geomagnetic alerts and warnings need to be issued for users who are affected by these disturbances.
The principal users affected by geomagnetic storms are the electrical power grid, spacecraft operations, users of radio signals that reflect off of or pass through the ionosphere, and observers of the aurora.
This chart updates every minute. The Estimated 3-hour Planetary Kp-index is derived at the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center using data from the following ground-based magnetometers: Sitka, Alaska; Meanook, Canada; Ottawa, Canada; Fredericksburg, Virginia; Hartland, UK; Wingst, Germany; Niemegk, Germany; and Canberra, Australia. These data are made available thanks to the cooperative efforts between SWPC and data providers around the world, which currently includes the U.S. Geological Survey, Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN), the British Geological Survey, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), and Geoscience Australia. Important magnetometer observations are also contributed by the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris and the Korean Space Weather Center K-index Watches are issued when the highest predicted NOAA estimated Kp-indices for a day are K = 5, 6, 7, or >= 8 and is reported in terms of the NOAA G scale. K-index Warnings are issued when NOAA estimated Kp-indices of 4, 5, 6, and 7 or greater are expected. K-index Alerts are issued when the NOAA estimated Kp-indices reach 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.
The K-index quantifies disturbances in the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field with an integer in the range 0-9 with 1 being calm and 5 or more indicating a geomagnetic storm. It is derived from the maximum fluctuations of horizontal components observed on a magnetometer during a three-hour interval. The planetary 3-hour-range index Kp is the mean standardized K-index from 13 geomagnetic observatories between 44 degrees and 60 degrees northern or southern geomagnetic latitude. The label 'K' comes from the German word 'Kennziffer' meaning 'characteristic digit.' The K-index was introduced by Julius Bartels in 1938. SWPC has used the K-index since the forecast center began operations.

I believe I am now finally on to the Geomagnetic effects on my daily blood sugar. Today, Feb 17, my morning blood sugar reading was 111, which is down 48 points from yesterday's. The continual rise over the previous 2 days suggests some external influence, which I believe might be Geomagnetic EMF.
I have noticed that my recently declining daily blood sugar curve had matched the declining, then ascending Estimated Planetary K-Index. There was a rise in the last two days to levels 3 and 4 in the Estimated Planetary K-Index, as well as a recent rise and fall in the Electron Proton Alpha Monitor (EPAMp) curves, both of which happen to parallel the rise and fall in my daily blood sugar curve.
So, there might be some relationship here, but more data will be needed to make a conclusion. My blood sugar is now down, and so are the Electron Proton Alpha Monitor (EPAMp) curves.

Today, Feb 18, my morning blood sugar reading was 137, which is up 26 points from yesterday's. The continual rise over the previous 2 days suggests some external influence, which I believe might be Geomagnetic EMF. In fact in the last 24 hours we have had increasing Estimated Planetary K-Index and level G-1 geomagnetic alerts from NOAA. It has occurred to me that one of the variables that I had not considered was the fact that I sleep in a grounded Faraday Gage, so that any geomagnetic disturbances that occur when I am in that grounded Faraday Gage may not have an impact, or at least less of an impact, upon my health.

Today, Feb 19, my morning blood sugar reading was 148, which is up 11 points from yesterday's. The continual rise over the previous 3 days suggests some external influence, which I believe might be Geomagnetic EMF. In fact in the last 48 hours we have had increasing Estimated Planetary K-Index as high as 5, and level G-1 geomagnetic alerts from NOAA; however the Estimated Planetary K-Index has been declining for the last 24 hours. There might be some lag time between changes in the Estimated Planetary K-Index and my blood sugar response. Allergies continue to be severe, and do not seem to have any influence from variations in the Estimated Planetary K-Index.

Today, Feb 20, my morning blood sugar reading was 153, which is up 5 points from yesterday's. The continual rise over the previous 4 days suggests some external influence, which I believe might be Geomagnetic EMF. In fact in the last 48 hours we have had increasing Estimated Planetary K-Index as high as 5, and level G-1 geomagnetic alerts from NOAA; however the Estimated Planetary K-Index has been declining for the last 48 hours, but it is still at level 2. There might be some lag time between changes in the Estimated Planetary K-Index and my blood sugar response, but I will have to plot my daily blood sugar against time and Estimated Planetary K-Index to know for sure. Allergies continue to be severe, and do not seem to have any influence from variations in the Estimated Planetary K-Index.

The Estimated Planetary K-Index rose to levels 2 and 3, and has dropped back to a 1. The K index rose to level 5 over a 12 hour period several days ago due the last solar storm impact, which is significant, but the current K index is only 1, which I believe may account for my now declining blood sugar. However, with the rising of electrons and protons associated with the current CME I believe that we can expect the Estimated Planetary K-Index will also rise in the next few days.
Space Weather (http://origin-www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/alerts-watches-and-warnings) There were no new reported solar events in the past 24 hours, so perhaps NOAA does not consider the current small to medium sized CME worth reporting.

Even though the rise and fall of my daily blood sugar reading tend to follow the rise and fall in the Estimated Planetary K-Index; nonetheless the Estimated Planetary K-Index level rose to 5 for the last 12 hours, yet my blood sugar dropped 3 points; however, it has fallen back to level 3 in the following 3 hours. Perhaps the reason why my blood sugar did not rise more is because I slept most of that time in my grounded van, which functions as a low frequency Faraday cage.

Watch unusual comet sail past sun (http://earthsky.org/space/unusual-comet-skimmed-past-sun-february-18-21)
What is more interesting about this comet flyby is 2 coronal mass ejections occur immediately following its flyby. I do not believe that is a coincidence.

Today, Feb 26, my morning blood sugar reading was 122, which is down only 20 points from yesterday's. Even though the rise and fall of my daily blood sugar reading tends to follow the rise and fall in the Estimated Planetary K-Index; nonetheless the Estimated Planetary K-Index had dropped to level 1s-3s in the previous 48 hours. This delay in the drop of my blood sugar could be due to a delay factor in the bodies response to changes in the Estimated Planetary K-Index
Oddly there is a break in the datastream of several of the monitors. From monitoring these datasets I have noticed when there is a break in the data stream there is often an associated x-ray burst, which is typically followed by a CME. However, there was a break in the x-ray record at the same time, but no CME has been documented on the LASCO solar imager. Even more oddly coincidental is the cellphone and internet service for several people here in Sedona was also interrupted at the same time. I began to expect a massive CME was headed out way. However, none has occurred yet. If anyone else noticed any break in cell or internet service yesterday, then it would be useful to receive your report.

Today, Feb 27, my morning blood sugar reading was 221, which is up almost 100 points from yesterday's. I can explain that from diet. Since December I had been conducting an occasional diet experiment to see how many carbohydrates that I can handle. In almost every experiment my morning blood sugar was lower than the previous day, so it was starting to look like it did not matter how many carbohydrates I ate, and the cause of my diabetes was due to solar activity alone.
So, yesterday I moved the first load of possessions to the new warehouse, which is outside of Sedona. I made my morning quiche, but was not ready when I was ready to head off, so I left it warming on a hot plate for the day. At noon I stopped in at a free-kitchen where they served me spaghetti. When I got back from driving 4 hours round trip and spending 2 hours unloading the truck I was hungry. I found the quiche was no longer warm, as it had become cloudy, so the hot plate no longer got power. So, I ate 3 slices of cheesy bread with butter on them, which also meant I had no eggs that day. Well, that was way too many carbohydrates for me to eat, and no eggs, in my diabetes recovery program; because, if my blood sugar on a low carbohydrates has been tending to follow the Estimated Planetary K-Index.

GOES X-Ray Flux chart 02-26 to 28-2015, shows the x-ray stream level has and increase in occasional small bursts, which suggests increased solar activity, and might release a small CME today.
The GOES 12 through 15 spacecraft each carry a sophisticated X-ray telescope called the Solar X-ray Imager (SXI) to monitor the Sun’s hot outer atmosphere, or corona. X-ray photons are created in the million-degree plasma of the solar corona and are not visible from the ground, due to the absorption of the Earth’s atmosphere. Observations of solar X-rays aids in the early detection of solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and other phenomena that impact the geospace environment.
X-ray photons travel at the speed of light and are the first indication we receive at Earth of solar magnetic eruptions and the associated flares. These flare related X-rays cause changes to the Earth’s ionosphere and can result in significant degradation of radio communications, including complete black outs at some frequencies, beginning only 8 minutes (time for light to travel from the Sun to Earth) after a flare.
The early warning given by the SXI observations comes at least 15 hours before the associated shockwave of the solar eruption arrives at Earth, allowing the forecasters at SWPC to issue the appropriate watches, warnings, and alerts for geomagnetic storming which is the cause of the most significant space weather effects at Earth.

Today, March 01, my morning blood sugar reading was 160, which is up 59 points from yesterday's reading. This is consistent with a rise of the Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) to level 5 in the previous 12 hours.
Please note that I have split this topic off and renamed it Space weather and health, because Space weather and health is a different topic than the effect of non-natural sources of EMF, which the original topic was all about. Also, I found a very interesting short web page called Space weather and health (http://www.solarstorms.org/SHealth.html) that describes known effects of space weather upon health. The same site also lists the major space weather events (http://www.solarstorms.org/SRefStorms.html) in the last 160 years. I am certain anyone who reads that list of events, and understands their significances, will find the site very illuminating.
I also found several other articles that discuss Space weather and health:
Space Weather and Health Issues (http://sidc.be/esww5/presentations/Health/Crosby.pdf)
Space Weather The Forecast For The Future Health (http://alternative-doctor.com/blog/health-risks-of-solar-energy/)
...we are living in an intense electro-magnetic environment. In scale, it makes the levels of cell phone radiation we worry about so much seem like a wet firecracker to a hydrogen bomb...
However Russian scientist Alexander Chizhevsky suggested in 1915 that solar storms directly cause conflict, wars and even death among humans on Earth. His work was continued by Professor Raymond Wheeler of the University of Kansas.
In the 1930′s Wheeler began a lifetime study that analyzed world climate and cultural activities back to the dawn of recorded civilization. He presented his research in his book, Climate: The Key To Understanding Business Cycles...
The first real study which startled the world was in 1961 (Becker et al), later followed by similar results published by Friedman et al (1963). They found a clear link between a rise in mental hospital admissions and geo-Solar magnetic activity...
This was no fluke and repeated again in 1994, when R.W. Kay published a study in the British Journal of Psychiatry, linking hospital admissions due to depression with days of geomagnetic activity.
The researcher found a “36.2% increase in male hospital admissions with a diagnosis of depressed phase, manic-depressive illness in the second week following such storms compared with geomagnetically quiet control periods.”
Heliobiology
They are now calling it “heliobiology”, from helios, the Greek for Sun. Obvious effects include mental status (mood), heart attacks, strokes and migraines.
In a 2012 study, electrocardiograms of functionally healthy persons, who were digitally registered at the Laboratory of Heliobiology located in the Medical Centre INAM (Baku, Azerbaijan), were studied in relation to different levels of cosmic ray activity and geomagnetic field disturbances.
In total, 1,673 daily digital data of heart rate values and time series of beat-to-beat heart rate intervals were registered for the time period July 15, 2006–March 31, 2008, which includes the period of December 2006, when intense cosmic ray events and strong geomagnetic disturbances occurred.
Results revealed that heart rate increased in proportion to the rise of geomagnetic activity but that large cosmic ray intensity decreases were also a trigger factor, to which the heart responds.
Moreover, heart rate increased on the days before, during and after geomagnetic storms with high intensities and on the days preceding, and following cosmic ray intensity decreases.2
Heart Affected
At least three studies correlate a strong link between the occurrence of geomagnetic storms and heart attacks (myocardial infarctions). It appears that strong magnetic pulses from geomagnetic storms interfere with the electric impulses that stimulate the heart muscle to contract.
According to these studies, the number of hospitalizations due to heart attacks peak during storm activities. In one study, the number more than doubled, and in another study, the number of fatal heart attacks increased by 70%.
Researchers also noticed a very significant rise in hospital admissions for strokes, correlated with Solar activity (130% rise).3,4,5
Headaches
Headaches and migraines also rise significantly when there is a Solar “storm” blowing.
That fits very well with the known effects down here of a high concentration of positively charged particles, blown in by winds such as the Santa Ana winds (Los Angeles), The Khamsin (Middle East), The Mistral (France) and the Chinook (North American prairies).
People sometimes go completely crazy; headache and feeling lousy is commonplace.
Researchers studied the relationship between the migraine triggers of 40 patients and meteorological elements such as humidity, temperature and geomagnetic activity. They recorded the meteorological data and frequency changes of geomagnetic activity and compared them with the onset and severity of the migraine attacks.
The researchers concluded: “Our results indicate a significant correlation between geomagnetic activity and migraine attack frequency.” 6
According to other researchers, the onset of a headache did not correlate fully with GMA [Geomagnetic Activity] but the intensity of the headache however was linearly correlated, increasing from 25.9% of severe headaches in days with quiet GMA to 43.75% of severe headaches in days with stormy GMA.7
Blood Changes
Maki Takata of Toho University, Japan, made studies of changes in blood serum during the solar eclipses of 1941, 1943 and 1948; he found significant changes.
In Russia, over 120,000 tests were made on people in a Black Sea resort, measuring lymphocytes—vital participants in the immune system. There was a big drop in the sunspot years of 1956 and 1957.
Lung hemorrhages in TB patients are also affected.
Studies of traffic accidents in Germany and in Russia show increases of up to four times the normal level, on the days after a solar flare.8
Space weather and radiation from UK.Gov (https://www.gov.uk/space-weather-and-radiation)
Space weather events pose a risk to technology, infrastructure, electrical systems and, to a limited extent, public health.
Radiation
Radiation from space penetrates the Earth’s atmosphere all the time; each year about 12% of the radiation dose members of the UK public receive, comes from exposure to cosmic rays. Some of this is from flying in aircraft, where the combined shielding effects of the Earth’s atmosphere and its magnetic field are reduced, but most comes from the radiation that reaches ground level. The doses people receive on the ground are tiny, but air crew are routinely assessed for their radiation exposure because the dose rates are higher at altitude.
A significant space weather event may cause people on the ground to receive an unusual radiation dose, though it would be far too small to produce an observable health effect. Those flying in planes during a space weather event would be likely to receive a higher radiation dose – but again it is extremely unlikely to produce adverse health effects for individuals who are exposed. The radiation doses people receive will be dependent on where they are on the planet, how big an event it is, how long it lasts and other factors, altitude and proximity to the magnetic poles being key factors. This may only be able to be determined after the event.
A CME reaches the Earth more slowly, typically taking 2 or 3 days...There may be a ‘bow wave’ of energetic protons accelerated by the CME that causes higher than normal radiation dose rates at aviation altitudes.
Cosmic radiation
It is possible that a solar storm could produce higher than usual radiation dose rates. Increased doses are sometimes measureable at sea level, as the so-called ground level events (GLE). Such events are not uncommon, but when an elevated dose rate is measured at ground level the increase at aircraft altitude is more marked. Since 1942, when records began, there has averaged about 1 GLE per year, but they are most frequent around solar maximum.
POSSIBLE SPACE WEATHER INFLUENCE ON FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY OF THE HUMAN BRAIN.PDF (http://www.iac.es/adjuntos/prensa/Space%20Weather%20Effects%20on%20Health.pdf)
ABSTRACT
An influence of geomagnetic storms on the integrative human brain system is investigated. The Holter method of electroencephalographic (EEG) registration and vegetative sphere investigation method were used for the persons in healthy condition. Experiments were carried out during both geomagnetically quiet and disturbed conditions. Obtained results show that geomagnetic storms have an influence on human body
affecting the functional activity of the brain, particularly, infringing the balance of synchronic and non-synchronic systems, ergo (activating) - and trophotrophic (braking) episegmentary vegetative centers. Geomagnetic disturbances may change the background state of brain and infringe adequacy of reaction (respond) in the passage to active state.

Today, March 02, my morning blood sugar reading was 152, which is down 8 points from yesterday's reading. In the last 24 hours the Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) dropped down to 2s and 3s, then back up to level 4s and 5s. So, my blood sugar looks like it is going to be around 150-160 when the Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) in the range of 4s and 5s.

Today, March 05, my morning blood sugar reading was 111, which is down 9 points from yesterday's reading. In the last 24 hours the Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) has remained in the 1s to 3s (and mostly 1s) for more than 3 days, which explains my lowering daily blood sugar reading, even though yesterday I ate a bran muffin for breakfast and 3 small slices of garlic bread for dinner. This demonstrates:

Space weather alert. A little more than 24 hours ago there was the beginning of a sizable x-ray event that is still building. There was also another curios break in the data streams for: x-ray flux, proton flux, ACE Real-Time Solar Wind, and GOES Magnetometer, between 1200 and 1800 UTC. In response, the sun released what appears to be a CME just about an hour ago. See images below.

Space weather alert. 48 hours ago there was the beginning of a sizable x-ray event that became a 36 hour event. There were more curios breaks in the data streams for: proton flux, ACE Real-Time Solar Wind, and GOES Magnetometer, around 2100 UTC. There is also an S feature visible on the solar disk, which has been used as a predictor of significant solar events; thus I believe that yesterday's CME was not a related response to these events, but related to an earlier x-ray event. Therefore I predict that the sun will released another emission of significances in the next few hours. See images below.

An S feature that appeared on the solar disk this morning.
Today, March 07, my morning blood sugar reading was 120, which is down 20 points from yesterday's reading. There was 6 hours of level 4 Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) for the 6 hours that I was in my low frequency Faraday cage, and it had come to an end before I came out of it this morning, which might explain why my blood sugar was lower than I would expect.

The Estimated Planetary K-Index has rose to a level 4 for 6 hours, before declining to level 3. Nonetheless, my blood sugar actually dropped since yesterday.

Space weather alert. 3 days ago there was the beginning of a sizable x-ray event that became a 36 hour event. There were more curios breaks in the data streams for: proton flux, ACE Real-Time Solar Wind, and GOES Magnetometer. There is also an S feature visible on the solar disk, which has been used as a predictor of significant solar events. As predicted just after midnight (UTC) there was am M-class x-ray event immediately followed by a solar burst. It was followed by another x-ray event, which suggests in 2-3 days there will be another significant solar emission. See images below.

An image of the burst of solar wind related to the significant solar event this morning.
Today, March 08, my morning blood sugar reading was 119, which is down 1 point from yesterday's reading. There was a 3 hour interval of level 4 Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) late in the afternoon (my time MST) yesterday, and another 3 hour interval of level 4 Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/), when I was in my low frequency Faraday cage, and it had come to an end before I came out of it this morning, which might explain why my blood sugar remains lower than I would expect. So, the low frequency Faraday cage seems to be working. My plan is to build one that I can live and work inside of during these solar vents. And, I also plan to acquire an iPhone, or similar phone so that I can view the solar weather page easily throughout the day wherever I am, and receive alerts automatically.

Space weather alert. Yesterday there was another sizable x-ray event. There were more curios breaks in the data streams for: x-ray flux, proton flux, ACE Real-Time Solar Wind, and GOES Magnetometer. The S feature visible on the solar disk is still there, but is beginning to rotate out of view.
As predicted the M-class x-ray event immediately was followed by a solar flare, which included a coronal mass ejection. See the NOAA Alerts, Watches and Warnings (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/alerts-watches-and-warnings#) page for the details, which are copied below. It was followed by another x-ray event, which suggests in 2-3 days there will be another significant solar emission. See images below. I have added a higher resolution SOHO image of the coronal mass ejection below.

An image of coronal mass ejection to occurred yesterday morning.
It has been one of my hypotheses for decades that the 11 year solar cycle is driven by debris falling into the sun. It just so happens that there were to sun-grazing comets observed in the last few days. One on the 6th and another on the 9th. You can find them at the SOHO Sungrazer Project (http://sungrazer.nrl.navy.mil/index.php?p=recent). The hypothesis that I am running under is comets and asteroids are not a single object, but a debris field, so while we may see a comet that does not fall into the sun, but we observe CME, and other solar disturbances in close proximity of the passage of a Sungrazer, there are smaller objects which are large enough to cause a solar disturbance that are; nonetheless too small to be observed with our present technology that is in place observing the sun.
Today, March 09, my morning blood sugar reading was 126, which is up only 6 point from yesterday's reading. In the past 24 hours the Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) at level 0-3 which has not shown to cause a reduction in my health.

Space weather alert. Yesterday there was a series of sizable x-ray spike events, plus several radio bursts, and another coronal mass ejection (CME). There were no breaks in the data streams.
As predicted the x-ray burst event of 2 days ago was followed by a CME. See the NOAA Alerts, Watches and Warnings (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/alerts-watches-and-warnings#) page for the details, which are copied below. It was followed by series of sizable x-ray spike events. See images below. I have added a higher resolution SOHO image of today's coronal mass ejection below.

This is a LASCO image of the same CME 2 hours later as it got farther from the sun.
Today, March 10, my morning blood sugar reading was 135, which is up only 9 point from yesterday's reading. In the past 24 hours the Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) at level 0-2, which should have resulted in lower blood sugar, not higher blood sugar, but it is only 10 points, and there is bound to be that little variation in one's daily blood sugar reading. On the other hand my allergies had declined along with the K-index and my blood sugar; however, now my allergies and blood sugar are both up, so there might be other variables at work. Perhaps my body is responding to the increase in x-rays and/or radio bursts from the sun?

Space weather alert. Yesterday's series of sizable x-ray spike events and radio bursts have continued. There were no breaks in the data streams. Another S shape has appeared on the solar disk. The S has a sun spot at either end, and there are x-ray sources at both ends as well as along the S. It suggests that there might be a large solar disturbance building. See image below.

Space weather alert. Yesterday's series of sizable x-ray spike events and radio bursts has given away to a major rise in x-ray emissions, which are typical of a coming solar event. The S shaped feature in the sun's surface is still there, but it is rotating out of view. Early this morning, at the upper edge of that S shaped feature, was a large x-ray flare. This recent solar activity might be due to a known Kreutz group sun-grazing comet (http://sungrazer.nrl.navy.mil/index.php?p=recent) is now approaching the sun. See image below.

This is a LASCO image of the same CME further from the sun that became visible another 10 hours later.
Today, March 13, my morning blood sugar reading was 171, which is up 31 point from yesterday's reading. In the past 48 hours the Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) at level 0-3, and in the last 24 hours it has been 0-1. The morning blood sugar reading is not right now following the Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/), which means my hypothesis might be falling apart, or there are other variables, such as the many x-ray bursts that we have had in the last 48 hours or so might be the cause of the rise in blood sugar. Honing this hypothesis is going to take a lot more time and observation and comparison to work through.

Today, March 14, my morning blood sugar reading was 206, which is up another 35 points from yesterday's reading. In the past 48 hours the Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) at level 1-3. It is the highest recorded morning blood sugar reading that I have gotten in 4.5 months. If my blood sugar is now following the x-ray level, then it should start to drop off as soon as the x-ray levels drop. On the other hand we are now expecting a K-4 level geomagnetic disturbance, and we have been at R-1 and G-1 electromagnetic level events.
It is also possible that my continuing rise in morning blood sugar might be due to exhaustion from moving. My allergy symptoms have also worsened.

Today, March 15, my morning blood sugar reading was 144, which is down 62 points from yesterday's reading. In the past 3 days the Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) has been at a low level, although it is beginning to rise. the x-ray level had been rising for days, which I believe accounts for my rise in blood sugar yesterday. There was; however, a medium sized burst last night. My allergy symptoms have been declining again as well. It suggests that my blood sugar is going to rise due to any rise in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Please note:
I have changed the format of this daily report to reflect the actual sequence of events that start with x-ray bursts, then an x-ray flare, which then produces a CME, which produces turbulence in the solar wind, which then effects the planetary k-index.

Today there was an x-ray flare at 1:48 UTC, which I believe was related to the above x-ray bursts

This morning the GOES X-Ray Flux chart for 03-13 to 15-2015, shows there was another x-ray bursts of less significance, so we can expect another x-ray flare in the next 24 hours, but it will be smaller than the one we had a few hours ago.
These flares may be due to another sun-grazing comet (http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j411/jhananda/Electron%20Proton%20Alpha%20Monitor%20EPAMp/ace-epam-p-24-hour%2003-14%20to%2015-2015_zpsswubj12p.gif) reported on the 13th. Comets, especially sun-grazing comets, will have companions, which might be too small for the LASCO Coronagraph (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/lasco-coronagraph) to observe, which might be impacting the sun causing the solar disturbances.

Today, March 16, my morning blood sugar reading was 136, which is down 8 points from yesterday's reading. In the past 3 days the Planetary K-Index (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) has been at a low level, although it has been to rising. It is now more at levels 3 than 1-2. The x-ray level had been calming down for days, but is still active, which I believe accounts for my rise in blood sugar 2 days ago, but declining. There was; however, another medium sized solar flare yesterday, as predicted. My allergy symptoms still declining.

An earlier x-ray flare produced a CME, which was visible on the long range LASCO Coronagraph (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/lasco-coronagraph) at 05:42 UTC. The CME produced by the above x-ray flare was not recorded by either LASCO Coronagraph (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/lasco-coronagraph), because there is missing data for this time period from both instruments.

This morning the GOES X-Ray Flux chart for 03-14 to 16-2015, shows there was another small x-ray burst, so we can expect another small x-ray flare in the next 24 hours. Otherwise the overall energy of the x-ray band of the electromagnetic spectrum is calling down again.

Today, March 18, my morning blood sugar reading was 152, which is down 9 points from yesterday's reading. Normal blood sugar reading for me has been 90-120. My blood sugar has thus risen 30-70 points. My elevated blood sugar readings of the last few days are surely related to the solar storm that we have been having. It is worth noting that my highest blood sugar reading in 5 months occurred during the x-ray burst that preceded the x-class flare. See the Daily Solar Weather & Health Report below:
Daily Solar Weather & Health Report
In the past 3 days there have been no more major flares or x-ray bursts to report, nor CMEs to report.
(http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j411/jhananda/GOES%20X-Ray%20Flux%20charts/goes-xray-flux%2003-16%20to%2018-2015_zpszwezucxs.gif)
However, the x-ray flux continues to be disturbed. There is also a rising trend that suggests that another x-ray flare is about to be launched by the sun in the next day.
I recently found the Space Weather Enthusiasts Dashboard (http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/space-weather-enthusiasts) very useful, so the format of this report is changing due to one of the panes in that dashboard.

GOES Proton Flux 03-16 to 18-2015, shows the >10MeV channel has begun to decline and is almost back to normal background levels after 3 days of elevated levels. However, just as the Proton Flux was dropping, the electron flux was rising, along with the estimated planetary K index, which rose to 8 in the last 24 hours. Along with the rise of the electron flux and the estimated planetary K index my allergy symptoms rose, as well as my blood sugar, and an increase in frequency and intensity of rheumatoid arthritis pains. The estimated planetary K index is now declining. I do not know if it will rise again, to follow the Proton Flux curve from a few days ago, but we shall see.

Today, March 19, my morning blood sugar reading was 168, which is up 16 points from yesterday's reading. Last night and this morning; however, my allergy symptoms have been low. In the last 24 hours the estimated planetary K index has been at levels 4-6, which is high. See the Daily Solar Weather & Health Report below:

In the past 24 hours there was a medium sized x-ray burst, and it looks like another one is developing. There was; however, more major flares, but I predict 2 are coming.

The comparative plots of 03-16 to 18-2015 for GOES: Proton Flux, Proton Flux and magnetic field all show calm conditions in the solar wind. However, the estimated planetary K index is still high at levels 4-6. but it is declining.

It is interesting to note that the the estimated planetary K index is following the same curve of the Proton Flux, but a week behind. Thus, I predict that the estimated planetary K index will continue to decline for the next few days until the next CME hits us.

Today, March 20, my morning blood sugar reading was 125, which is down 43 points from yesterday's reading. Last night and this morning my allergy symptoms were low. There was no joint pain. In the last 24 hours the estimated planetary K index has been declining to levels 3-5, which is moderate. See the Daily Solar Weather & Health Report below:

Today, March 21, my morning blood sugar reading was 171, which is up 46 points from yesterday's reading. Last night and this morning my allergy symptoms have increased. There was no joint pain. In the last 24 hours the over all estimated planetary K index has continued to decline to levels 3-5, which is moderate. Why my blood sugar has ocilated 40 points up and down in the past 48 hours I cannot explain, but there are lots of variables in biology. I am just focusing upon the solar weather variable, which has been ignored by most biologists. See the Daily Solar Weather & Health Report below:

(http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j411/jhananda/GOES%20X-Ray%20Flux%20charts/goes-xray-flux%2003-19%20to%2021-2015_zpsewmhz26i.gif)
In the past 48 hours there have been 3 medium sized x-ray bursts. Yesterday's was extended for most of the day. In the past I have noticed that my blood sugar has risen coincident with these x-ray bursts, so I was surprised to find my blood sugar normal yesterday morning, and not surprised to find my blood sugar elevated again. It is possible that repeated x-ray bursts cause a rise in my blood sugar, or there might be a delay factor.

As predicted on 03-21-2015 at 09:56 there were another x-ray flare. The SOHO images for this time period have yet to be downloaded.

This is an image of the solar disk in the visible wave lengths, and it is interesting to note that the sun looks remarkably calm, with no apparent emissions.

The comparative plots of 03-19 to 21-2015 for GOES: Proton Flux, Proton Flux and magnetic field all show calm conditions in the solar wind have returned. The estimated planetary K index is now moderate at levels 3-5, and it is still declining.

Today, March 22, my morning blood sugar reading was 146, which is down 25 points from yesterday's reading. Last night and this morning my allergy symptoms have remained at moderate levels. There was no joint pain. In the last 24 hours the over all estimated planetary K index has continued to decline to levels 2-3, then spiked up to level 6 in the last 9 hours. Which is why my blood sugar continues to oscillate 40 points up and down in the past 2 week. See the Daily Solar Weather & Health Report below:

Today, March 23, my morning blood sugar reading was 144, which is down only 2 points from yesterday's reading. Last night and this morning my allergy symptoms have remained at moderate levels. There was no joint pain. There were no x-ray bursts of significance to report. However, last night the over all estimated planetary K index spiked to levels 4-5. Which is why my blood sugar continues to remain relatively high at 140 points; however, it is still within the range of normal. See the Daily Solar Weather & Health Report below:

The comparative plots of 03-21 to 23-2015 for GOES: Proton Flux and magnetic field all show relative calm conditions in the solar wind with the exception of downward spikes that correlate to upward spikes of the estimated planetary K index.

Today, March 25, my morning blood sugar reading was 138, which is down 41 points from yesterday's reading. Last night and this morning my allergy symptoms increased significantly. However, there has been no joint pain. Nonetheless, the last 2 days I have been deeply fatigued by the effort of moving.

The comparative plots of 03-23 to 25-2015 for GOES space weather data shows the Proton Flux had been rising for almost 24 hours and is now receding. This suggests that we will have a rise in the estimated planetary K index in a few days.
The electron flux had a significant downward spike, which suggests that we are going to have one or more larger spikes in the estimated planetary K index in a few hours.
The magnetic field had a downward spike, and is now rising. This suggests further that the estimated planetary K index will rise sharply in a few hours.

Last week's solar activity occurred from an active region of the sun, which rotated out of view, and thus out of our direct influence; however, that active region in the x-ray band is returning, and along with it is a rise in x-ray activity.

a rise in x-ray activity.
In support of my hypothesis that debris falling into the sun might be the cause of the cyclic solar disturbances I tracked down 2 observed sungrazing comets, which were followed by CMEs. I will be looking for more.
The Great "Birthday Comet" of 2011 (http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/pickoftheweek/old/03dec2011/) also shows a few CME at the same time
Good-bye, Streaking Comet (October 3, 2011) (http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/pickoftheweek/old/03oct2011/)
The question of whether a sungrazing comet can somehow trigger a coronal mass ejection is an intriguing one. So far, the feeling is that apparent relationship between some comets and some mass ejections is simply one of co-incidence. At this stage of the solar cycle, the Sun is producing many mass ejections--in fact there were several earlier in the day--and it probably just happened by chance that one of them was around the same time as the approach of the comet. Some researchers have been looking for a more direct relationship, but nothing as yet has come out of these efforts.
The problem of establishing the relationship of sungrazing objects and the emmision of CME will only happen when the resolution of space observation of the sun's atmosphere increases; and we start observing all 6 faces of the sun, not just one; and we can also observe asteroids, not just comets.
Another Sungrazing Comet Gets Smoked (September 16, 2011) (http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/pickoftheweek/old/16sep2011/), the Sun unleashed two coronal mass ejections.

Scientists, however, have yet to find a convincing physical connection between sun-grazing comets and coronal mass ejections. In fact, analysis of this CME using images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory shows that the CME erupted before the comet came close enough to the solar surface to interact with strong magnetic fields.
The problem is they fail to recognize that asteroids and comets are debris fields. All they see is the biggest chunk.

Today, March 26, my morning blood sugar reading was 156, which is up 18 points from yesterday's reading. Last night and this morning my allergy symptoms remained the same. However, there has been no joint pain. Nonetheless, for the last 3 days I have been deeply fatigued by the effort of moving. I continue to work on moving, but I just take it much slower.

The comparative plots of 03-24 to 26-2015 for GOES space weather data shows the Proton Flux has returned to normal. The electron flux, and the magnetic field are fairly normal. The estimated planetary K index is also normal. There have also been no significant x-ray bursts. And, there have also been no eruptive activity of the sun.
In support of my hypothesis that debris falling into the sun might be the cause of the cyclic solar disturbances I tracked down 2 observed sungrazing comets, which were followed by CMEs. I will be looking for more.
There is a confirming comet of Kreutz group sungrazing comet currently near the sun, which could produce solar eruptions.

Today, March 27, my morning blood sugar reading was 166, which is up 10 points from yesterday's reading. Last night and this morning my allergy symptoms remained the same. However, there has been no joint pain. Nonetheless, for the last 4 days I have been deeply fatigued by the effort of moving. I continue to work on moving, but I just take it much slower. The rise in my blood sugar this morning might be due the the Dawn Phenomenon of diabetes (http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/treatment-and-care/blood-glucose-control/dawn-phenomenon.html). If I am going to argue Space weather has any influence upon my diabetes, then I am going to have to understand the Dawn Phenomenon of diabetes (http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/treatment-and-care/blood-glucose-control/dawn-phenomenon.html).

There were; however, more significant downward spikes in the electron and magnetic field flux, which suggests the estimated planetary K index will rise. The estimated planetary K index rose to 3s anf 4s in the last 24 hours, which should have brought my blood sugar up, not down, if there is a Space weather and health influence upon my health. There is increasing x-ray activity as the current active region of the sun as rotated to face us again. There were also some small coronal eruptions in the last 24 hours.

Today, April 01, my allergy symptoms have declined again, and the overall solar weather has waned. The Daily Solar Weather & Health Report, is below.
My overall physical health has improved significantly in the last year. I believe it is due to: continuing to eat a low-carb diet (http://fruitofthecontemplativelife.org/forum/index.php/topic,849.0.html); adding chromium supplementation (http://fruitofthecontemplativelife.org/forum/index.php/topic,840.0.html) via eggs to my diet; adding Anthocyanin (http://fruitofthecontemplativelife.org/forum/index.php/topic,707.0.html) to my diet; and sleeping in a low-frequency Faraday cage (http://fruitofthecontemplativelife.org/forum/index.php/topic,942.0.html). I implemented all of these changes at least a year ago, and my health continues to improve.

Today, April 04, my allergy symptoms continue to be slight. There has been some joint pain, but that could be attributed to the continuing effort of moving. The overall solar weather has waned with just a K-4 blip yesterday, and now the planetary estimated K index is back to 3s. The Daily Solar Weather & Health Report, is below.

The comparative plots of 04-02 to 04-04-2015 for GOES space weather data shows the Proton Flux remains normal, and the disturbances in both the magnetic field and electron flux have subsided.
X-ray activity is still increasing again as an active region on the solar disk is rotating to face us. There are still known Kreutz group sungrazing comets (http://sungrazer.nrl.navy.mil/index.php?p=recent) in close proximity to the sun, which may still produce one or more CME, and/or other solar eruptive phenomena.

Today, April 05, over night my allergy symptoms increased significantly. There has been some increase in joint pain, but that could be attributed to the continuing effort of moving. The overall solar weather has waned with just a K-4 blip yesterday, and now Even though the planetary estimated K index is back to 2s-3s; nonetheless there was a CME yesterday with an associated x-ray burst and radio burst, which might explain my increase in allergies and joint pain.

Today, April 11, my allergy symptoms remain minimal. My morning low blood sugar level was 106, which was down 45 points from yesterday. At the end of the day yesterday I noticed both of my knees had some swelling, which suggests inflammation, The overall solar weather now decreasing, which might explain my lower morning blood sugar, but the planetary estimated K index still in the 4s. The Daily Solar Weather & Health Report, is below.

The comparative plots of 04-09 to 04-12-2015 for GOES space weather data shows the: Proton flux remains normal, the magnetic field flux is calming down; however the electron flux show considerably more disturbance than the previous day due to a recent small CME. The planetary estimated K index has been solidly in the 4s for 12 hours, which is significant.
There are still known Kreutz group sungrazing comets (http://sungrazer.nrl.navy.mil/index.php?p=recent) in close proximity to the sun, which may still produce one or more CME, and/or other solar eruptive phenomena.

Today, April 12, My morning low blood sugar level was 106, which was down 45 points from yesterday. My allergy symptoms remain minimal. Toward the end of the day I noticed increased joint pain. The Daily Solar Weather & Health Report, is below.
Daily Solar Weather & Health Report
In the past 24 hours the overall solar weather was decreasing, but we just had another CME.
(http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j411/jhananda/GOES%20X-Ray%20Flux%20charts/goes-xray-flux%2004-10%20to%2013-2015_zpsastamtgz.gif)
When I saw this large spike at the right side of the x-ray flux graph, I suspected a CME was erupting from the sun.
(http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j411/jhananda/coronal%20mass%20ejections/x-ray%20burst%2004-12-2015%2011-16_zpsuhe7umhp.png)
On the left of the solar disk we can see an active region rotating to face us, and an active region rotating away from us. Both that active regions had an x-ray burst a few hours ago.

Here is the CME in the narrow field camera emerging from the corona on 04/12/2015 at 11:24 UTC.

Here is the CME appearing in the wide field camera almost 3 hours later on 04/13/2015 at 02:18 UTC.

Otherwise as we can see from the comparative plots of 04-10 to 04-13-2015 for GOES space weather data shows the: both Proton flux and magnetic field flux are now normal. However the electron flux still shows some disturbance. Nonetheless the planetary estimated K index has calmed down to 1s for 12 hours.
There are still known Kreutz group sungrazing comets (http://sungrazer.nrl.navy.mil/index.php?p=recent) in close proximity to the sun, which may still produce one or more CME, and/or other solar eruptive phenomena.

Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.

Today, April 16, my morning blood sugar was 99, which was down 20 points from the previous day. My allergy symptoms remain minimal. There is also little joint pain. The recent findings regarding the dawn phenomenon of diabetes (http://fruitofthecontemplativelife.org/forum/index.php/topic,960.msg6026.html#new), reactive hypoglycemia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_hypoglycemia), foods that lower blood sugar (http://fruitofthecontemplativelife.org/forum/index.php/topic,854.0.html) and the article The Dangers of Skipping Meals When You Have Diabetes (http://www.diabeticlivingonline.com/food-to-eat/nutrition/dangers-skipping-meals-when-you-have-diabetes) have solved much of the riddle of the seemingly random ups and downs of my morning blood sugar level. However, I still feel there might be an effect upon my diabetes due to space weather, so I plan to continue to file this report.

The comparative plots of 04-14 to 04-17-2015 UTC for GOES space weather data shows: the Proton flux remains normal; while the magnetic field and electron flux have shown increased disturbance for the last 2 days; along with these disturbances the planetary estimated K index has increased to level 4s and 5s in the past 24 hours. This indicates that the solar wind from the CME from 3 days ago is continuing to impact the magnetosphere of Earth. Therefore some of us may experience an increase in inflammation. However, we should begin to see a decline in the solar weather, and we can expect the planetary estimated K index to decline to normal levels in the next day or 2.

The comparative plots of 04-15 to 04-18-2015 UTC for GOES space weather data shows: the Proton flux remains normal; while the magnetic field and electron flux have shown increased disturbance for the last 2 days; along with these disturbances the planetary estimated K index has increased to level 5s and 6s in the past 24 hours. This indicates that the solar wind from the CME from 4 days ago is continuing to impact the magnetosphere of Earth. These indices represent to waves. It just so happens that the sun put out 2 small CMEs in close succession, so I believe that explains the two waves back to back. However, the trend now in all indices is downward, suggesting some calm will return to the solar wind impacting the earth.
There are still known Kreutz group sungrazing comets (http://sungrazer.nrl.navy.mil/index.php?p=recent) in close proximity to the sun, which may still produce one or more CME, and/or other solar eruptive phenomena.

Today, April 18, my morning low blood sugar was 128, which was down 5 points from yesterday. My allergy symptoms remain minimal. There is also little joint pain; however, the move has certainly stressed this body out, so if space weather is going to increase inflammation, then the conditions are ripe for it.

In the past 2 days there have been increased x-ray emissions from the sun, which represent small CMEs that are likely to increase the planetary estimated K index, but probably not enough to cause any health or technical challenges.

The comparative plots of 04-17 to 04-19-2015 UTC for GOES space weather data shows: the Proton flux remains normal; while both the magnetic field and electron flux have had some disturbance, but not much.

While the x-ray flux continues to be active, due to an active region of the sun is facing us; however, the solar wind storm from the last significant solar burst has passed.

The comparative plots of 04-20 to 04-23-2015 UTC for GOES space weather data shows: the Proton flux remains normal; while the magnetic field and electron flux show smaller disturbances; correspondingly the planetary estimated K index has declined to level 3 for about 6 hours. We can expect relative calm for the next few days; which will be followed by 3 waves of disturbance beginning in 2-3 days.
There are still known Kreutz group sungrazing comets (http://sungrazer.nrl.navy.mil/index.php?p=recent) in close proximity to the sun, which may still produce one or more CME, and/or other solar eruptive phenomena.

Today, April 23, my morning low blood sugar was 187, which is 13 points lower than yesterday.
My allergy symptoms have decreased upon rising this morning. Joint pain is about the same; however, the move has certainly stressed this body out.

Today, April 25, my morning low blood sugar was 123, which is 68 points lower than yesterday. I forgot to mention that a month ago I ran out of nutritional yeast, and did not buy any more as I needed to conserve money for the move. I also thought it would be a good time see what would happen to my blood sugar. It has risen over the month. The rise might be due to increased solar activity, or the lack of nutritional yeast in my diet. Two days ago I ran out of eggs, and money, so now I am on an egg-free diet as well. It will be a good experiment to see if my blood sugar rises or falls. One day off of eggs, and my blood sugar dropped 68 point. It might not be the loss of eggs in the diet, but some other factor, like the relative calm of the solar wind right now.
My allergy symptoms continue to be at a minimum. Joint pain has remained slightly elevated, which might be due to the continual elevated levels of the Proton flux; however, the move has certainly stressed this body out, and thus could be the cause of the over-all decline in decline in health.

Today, April 28, my morning low blood sugar was 199, which is 60 points higher than yesterday. Since the solar wind from 8 recent small CME has arrived, this might explain my rise in morning low blood sugar.

Still drinking the purple corn beer that I made last summer at a rate of 6oz (177ml) doses, no more than 1/hr, but less than that because I get busy with packing and moving and forget, but when fatigue and/or joint pain arise, then I stop and take a break and drink 6oz (177ml).

Additional Justification on Grounding for Jhananda
http://youtu.be/te4WPdIsBtQ
They have barefoot shoes and plenty of other products for this. But I, for one, am simply going to put some metal in my sandal/shoes like Jhananda suggested. I will also be looking into grounding my room, like Jhananda suggested.
Apologies for how long it took me to assimilate this knowledge, and if this isn't posted in the correct area.

Jhananda (and senior members), I recently began testing and experimenting to the best of my ability regarding EM radiation both man made and cosmic. I am not very knowledgeable, yet. And lack good materials.
But I do know this, and I have a question. I have an electric heating blanket. It was a gift from my significant other and I use it as homage. However, I noticed as soon as I began using it two years ago, that it was increasingly difficult to get out of bed.
Lately I've left it on the bed but unplugged. I woke easier, and slept a bit better. I also slept on top of it instead of below it. Similar results.
I am familiar with the simple grounding of materials to both shield and regulate the body's electromagnetic levels.
Is it reasonable and logical to simply attach an adapter that turns the electrical lines into grounding lines? In other words, instead of plugging in the two prongs, i would plug it into the ground (bottom/third) prong.
Would this not at least afford me some shielding and grounding while I sleep? It seems to follow.
My only problem is an inadequate multimeter, not much money, and I live in an area with shit loads of wifi and electrical appliances nearby. However, it does appear the grounding (third prong) of my outlets in my second-story living space is indeed grounded.
Anyone knowledgeable please respond with any helpful, inexpensive advice. Once I have this "nailed down", I intend to take another attempt with water kefir cultivation, and adrenal restoration.
Thank you

Thank-you, Jhanon for the recent link to a video on grounding in support of my findings; however, they have not figured out that shielding is critical as well. And, now your question regarding using an electric blanket as an aide to grounding and shielding.
Originally, 40 years or so ago, I was aware of the hypothesis that EMF might pose a health hazard, so at that time I had rejected offers of electric blankets. They only work plugged in anyway, and I was living mostly out of a back pack in those days.
However, I had not considered your rather brilliant idea of using an electric blanket for shielding and grounding. It would work quite well for shielding.
You are correct, if you bought a 3 prong male and female power socket and plug pair at the hardware store, then with some scrap wire, or purchase a foot of 16AWG solid wire at the hardware store, and wire all of the contacts on the female socket together, then run just one wire from the grounding pin (the round middle pin) on the female socket to the grounding pin (the round middle pin) on the male plug, then plug the male plug of your electric blanket into the female socket of the adapter that you just made, then plug the male plug of your adapter into the wall socket, then put the electric blanket over your bed, and you now have a reasonably good EMF shield.
You still would not have a ground without having something conductive in physical contact with your body that goes to earth. A grounding strap could be wired to the grounding pin (the round middle pin) on another male plug, which is only wired to the grounding pin, then plug that grounding strap adapter into another grounded outlet, and wear the grounding strap at night when you rest under your electric blanket, which has been converted to an EMF shield.
You still will not know whether you are shielded and grounded unless you also purchase a power socket tester at the hardware store. These testers are quite cheap and easy to use. You just plug the tester into the wall socket that you are planning on using for shielding and grounding. The tester will have three lights that light up to tell you how your socket is wired. There will be a code printed in the side of the tester that will tell you if your wall socket is grounded.
By the way, making and selling shielding and grounding equipment for health is one way that a contemplative community could sustain itself ethically.
Since this is the space weather thread, I had to suspend my daily reports, after moving because the WIFI at the new location was next to useless. It took me about 2 weeks of getting the management here comfortable with me to let me have access to their wiring closet. I then did some simple EMF trouble shooting in there, and now I have good WIFI that I can use in the comfort of my van, which is about 100feet from the wiring closet, while drinking my hot morning drink.
In the interim we had 2 significant space weather events in the last week or so that produced estimated planetary K indexes of 6. Space weather has returned to relative calm.

I couldn't contain my enthusiasm. Knowing the ground socket was indeed grounded, I rigged this up with a simple drill bit, and some electrical wire and tape before i went to sleep last night (I hadn't seen your response yet.)
This morning I woke up after only 4.5 hours of rest. I was completely and fully awake at sunrise. I was shocked.
In fact, I had a sense of joy in my chest that was so intense, that I got worried for a moment because it had been decades since I felt that way at all.
My sleep state was ultra vivid and far more conscious. Even pleasant.
I'm aware a contemplative could make a living off this. Although these shielding and grounding blankets already exist, I am working on it. I also have an engineer friend who could lend some assistance.
For now, I will invest to make the adapter so it's easy for anyone to do. Perhaps I will then sell just the adapter (with built in features to make this easy and safe for anyone.)

A simple adapter to convert an electric blanket to an EMF shield could be a useful product to sell, which could bring you a reasonable income. I hope it works out, because dedicated contemplative need some kind of income in this culture which does not support its mystics.
Space weather continues to be calm.

In the last 24 hours there was a series of x-ray bursts and accompanying CMEs from the sun.

Here are the same CME further from the sun.
There are several observed sun grazing comets near the sun at this time, which are most probably the cause of this sudden increase in solar activity:

Hi all,
Some very good news! The following new designations were announced on
MPC 93678:
321P/2001 D1 = 1997 J6 = 2004 X7 = 2008 S2 = 2012 M2 (SOHO)
322P/1999 R1 = 2003 R5 = 2007 R5 = 2011 R4 (SOHO)
323P/1999 X3 = 2004 E2 = 2008 K10 = 2012 Q2 (SOHO)
Those are the first three SOHO "/P" designations! (As opposed to "P/")
Cheers,
Karl
Conclusion:
We should get slammed with level 4-6 geomagnetic disturbances due to increased solar wind from these CME in the next day to 3 days. So, button up your EMF shields and make sure you are grounded.

As predicted the earth has been impacted with space weather for the last 24 hours.
(http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j411/jhananda/Estimated%20Planetary%20K-Index/satellite-env%2006-06%20to%2008-2015_zpsepaicukq.gif)
The comparative plots of key space weather factors show the estimated planetary k index rose to 4s-6s in the last 24 hours, which is significant. NOAA Space Weather reported 10 events related to this sequence.
This series of significant solar events began with a Type II Radio Emission 2015 Jun 01 1333 UTC. Then there were x-ray bursts followed by CMEs, as I reported above. The impact started when a Geomagnetic K-index of 4 threshold was reached on 2015 Jun 08 0300 UTC. It so far has peaked with a Geomagnetic K-index of 6 threshold, which was reached: 2015 Jun 08 0749 UTC. We should expect another 24 hours of elevated space weather events.
In spite of the current space weather storm my health is good today. The recent decline in my health reported last week may very well have been partly due to 2 major space weather events that occurred last month in addition to the effort of moving.

Yesterday we had a level 5 estimated planetary K index event. Last night my health was in serious decline, but I am doing better now.
Here is an article that was just published that shows a clear link to solar storms and my specific health issues.
Solar storms implicated in incidences of rheumatoid arthritis and giant cell arteritis (http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/solar-storms-implicated-incidences-rheumatoid-arthritis-arteritis-1506391)
-
I hope that your health continues to improve, Jhananda.
Thank-you for the interesting article. It supports your theory on the correlation between solar activity and health.
-
Thank-you, Michel, yes right now my health is good. One of the reasons why I moved to the current warehouse, is it is a metal building, so I will be shielded and grounded most of the day now. It seems that my health is effected significantly by space weather. This means longevity will require shielding and grounding. However, it is now one day at a time.
-
It's interesting that you like to live in small storage warehouses for health reasons. How many square feet is this new one? What is the rent? What facilities are there, etc? And what I'm most interested in knowing - are the surroundings quiet and peaceful?
-
The K7RA Solar Update (http://www.arrl.org/news/the-k7ra-solar-update-378)
“A coronal mass ejection has been observed in association with a flare from region 2371 at 1736 UTC on June 18. The majority of the CME material appears primarily directed to the NE of the sun, however further analysis suggests that the Earth will be impacted by the edge of the CME around 09UT on June 21. Minor storm periods are expected following the impact with major storm levels possible at high latitudes.”
-
I have been taking it easy for the last few days because I am just waiting for a part to arrive to finish assembly of the van. I then plan to go camping. Tuesday is when I expect to receive the part.
However, yesterday afternoon I experienced a sharp pain in my chest and sudden fatigue. Having learned that my health problems seem to be tied to solar activity I checked Space Weather Conditions home page, and found a CME had emerged from the sun. Now a second one has.

Another solar storm to hit Earth this weekend (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/another-solar-storm-to-hit-earth-this-weekend/)
-
Just saw this article (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/07/150709092955.htm):
A new model of the Sun's solar cycle is producing unprecedentedly accurate predictions of irregularities within the Sun's 11-year heartbeat. The model draws on dynamo effects in two layers of the Sun, one close to the surface and one deep within its convection zone. Predictions from the model suggest that solar activity will fall by 60 per cent during the 2030s to conditions last seen during the 'mini ice age' that began in 1645.
I wonder if it means anything?
-
Thanks, bodhimind, for the link to the article. I will give it some time reading. It just so happens that other scientists in other disciplines have also been predicting a massive drought for the last half of this century. So, more indicators of a drought are arising.
Interestingly: there is an 11-year global rain cycle; there is also an 11-year cycle to the meteor showers; and of course there is an 11-year cycle to the sun. Thus, it is my premise that all of these cycles are tied together some way, and I believe it is all caused by an 11-year cycle of debris falling into the sun, which stimulates its activity, which stimulates weather cycles on Earth; and that 11-year of debris falling into the sun produces an 11-year cycle to the meteor showers.
-
I wish to add that it appears to me that the sun's output is effected by debris falling into the sun, so perhaps a glob of debris, hither to unknown, may come and stimulate the sun during the predicted acquiescence.
I also forgot to mention that Jupiter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter) has a 12 year orbit around the sun, and it has been identified as influencing orbits of asteroids and comets, such as the Kreutz Sungrazing comets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kreutz_Sungrazers).

After a few months of calm the sun awoke with a series of bursts that were not too severe. However, on August 15th we had a Geomagnetic K-index of 7 Threshold Reached (see the NOAA Space Weather Alerts below). It was followed by 6s, 5s, and 4s for the next few days. On the first day of this space storm event I only noticed the occasional pang of severe joint pain. In the following days; however, joint pain, weakness, and fatigue increased. Fortunately the joint pain, weakness, and fatigue responded to repeated doses of anthocynin and hops, which were spaced no less than 1 hour apart. It generally took 3 doses for these symptoms of inflammation to subside.
In the last few days NOAA Space Weather Alerts has reported significant radio emissions. I also noticed some increased solar x-ray emissions, so we can expect another solar wind storm to hit us in a few days.
Space Weather Message Code: ALTTP4

Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 50 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Power system voltage irregularities possible, false alarms may be triggered on some protection devices.
Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites and orientation problems may occur.
Navigation - Intermittent satellite navigation (GPS) problems, including loss-of-lock and increased range error may occur.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio may be intermittent.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Pennsylvania to Iowa to Oregon.

We have had almost weekly space weather storms for the last 4 weeks. The first storm was severe, but it only caused some short lived pangs of joint pain for me. Then 2 days later I noticed more pain and stiffness. Then the next space weather storm came and went, and I found more pain and stiffness. Then a third space weather storm came and went, and I found more pain and stiffness. It was slight, but I noticed increased inflammation. Yesterday we had a significant 4th space weather storm come and go. I found significant pain and stiffness.
I have noticed the same effect of steadily increasing inflammation from back-to-back solar storms. So, my working hypothesis now is a succession of solar storms could cause more inflammation than one big storm.

I just noticed that there is an odd correlation between this blood moon, super moon, and the current cycle of the solar max; and it just happens to correspond to the same placement of the last blood moon, super moon at the same location in solar cycle 21. While this conjunction of solar and lunar phenomena might be a coincidence it is nonetheless worth investigating. It is also worth noting that this correlations also coincides with the last major el Niño, and this current el Niño is predicted to be a major el Niño.

My joint pain increased in August. It turns out that the sun got active again after several months of quiescence, then it produced almost 2 CMEs per week until about a week ago. I attribute my increased joint pain to these CMEs.
I have noticed that my joint pain does not seem to increase with the first CME, but seems to have a 2-day delay, and subsequent CMEs seem to steadily increase my joint. I was quite surprised to find when the planetary K index finally dropped to very low this week that my joint pain increased. However, perhaps the joint pain I experience in relation to CMEs is not the increase in planetary K index, but the decrease; or possibly the ups and downs.
I will keep observing my joint pain relative to the sun’s activity, and report my findings as they become evident.
