Space weather and health

[Jhanananda]

My joints are still feeling better with a mild level of tenderness. Space weather has reported a level G2 Geomagnetic Storm in the past 24 hrs, and a level G1 Geomagnetic Storm currently.

My joints are still feeling better with a mild level of tenderness. Space weather has reported a level G1 Geomagnetic Storm in the past 24 hrs.  I continue to wear my grounded outfit, even moving about town shopping at the grocery store and hardware store.

Yesterday I found the light gauge grounding wire that I had applied to my shoe had broken, so I applied 10 AWG wire to the bottom of my shoe because I had a scrap on hand. 

I applied bare 14 AWG wire to 1 work boot and 1 thong.

I also applied bare 14 AWG wire to 1 thong.

After a week of rest and shielding 24-7 I find no inflamed joints. 

Yesterday the conductive socks and sandals arrived, so I put them on this morning

Yesterday I made a conductive belt to especially shield my crushed disk.

Yesterday a clerk at the nearby grocery asked, "What's with the helmet?"
I replied, "I am conducting some experiments with the global electric circuit, which requires shielding."
She replied, "Oh."

In a town full of wako-New Agers I expect to fit in quite well here in my full-on conductive outfit; however, this photo reminds me of the 1950s movie "The day the Earth Stood Still."

I just noticed that Space weather is reporting an R-3 level Radio Blackouts in the past 24 hrs.

Sun Emits 3 Powerful X-Class Solar Flares in 2 Days.  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.

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).

I just watched the NOVA, Secrets of the Sun.  I found it very informative.

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.

Good to hear from you, Valdy.

This morning Space Weather reported a G1 level Geomagnetic Storm in the past 24 hrs

[Jhanananda]

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 has also made a profound improvement.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Approves Reliability Standard on Geomagnetic Disturbances

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.
