Fiber itself is perfectly safe, but the equipment converting the light to electrical signals can cause EMI that will be on the neighborhood electrical system and data lines into the homes. Is there a possibility for a cure after this (electromagnetic sensitivity) happens to you? Hi Jeromy, I am writing from the UK. 6) This question will hinge on the answers to the previous, but Ill just throw it in here as well Is it possible to have the Fiber Optic O.N.T. WebAlthough Fiber internet can be incredibly fast, there are some drawbacks to consider as well. This website will help you quickly reduce the electromagnetic (EMF) pollution in your life. I have a wired modem but I am suddenly having such a difficult time being on my computer. Jeromy also does this type of work; see his page https://www.emfanalysis.com/recommended-emf-meters/ As concerns over Wi-Fi increase, thereve been several myths about its effects on health. The changes wont be significant though. What the paper doesnt tell you is that Green Bank is in an MOA (Military Operations Area). Are there solutions you can think of that manufactures can provide? The effect of Wi-Fi electromagnetic waves in unimodal and multimodal object recognition tasks in male rats. Is it a buzz or a zapping feeling in your body? But the fiber is in the lawn now and if the ONT is going to stay in the shed, will it make EMF in the house? If electrical sensitivity symptoms increase all of a sudden with a new internet provider (for example, switching from Comcast Xfinity to AT&T), go back to your original provider right away. I responded with suggestions via email. Id like to know if theres any difference in EMF exposure. You would simply do this between your Comcast modem and computer: This allows me to do even 1 or 1.5 hour calls without too many symptoms. In fact, youre likely reading this article on a device thats currently connected to Wi-Fi. I recall hearing about certain lights/TV/etc. Reach out to me via email if you have any specific questions. to create fiber optic technologies which support accessibility needs for electrosensitive people around the world? Most neighborhoods wont have those until fiber optics are installed in the community. Ahh.. another informative blog that I have read today. Yes, EMI and DE are similar. They plan to install an Optical Network Terminal inside my house. I apologize for being so long-winded and all my questions, but Im at the mercy of time, lack of knowledge & adequate understanding. You could still have a data connection brought to your residence, but have it in just one area of your home. Be sure to do this setup between your modem and laptop. Thanks in advance. When it comes to wireless routers, it is often assumed that Here is what I know about what will be happening: They will be installing the Fiber Optic cables at the street with vaults (presumably the converters you mentioned) and splice enclosure boxes on the outside of each home that has given consent. (2019). There is a big 3-story apartment complex being built up the street from me and it has a brand new cell tower that stands within a hundred yards of the structures. This is really interesting. Thanks for the reference to your article on the analog phone and amplifier. My question is how do I do a fiber optics system that will act as barrier for my condo since I cannot change the internet connection in the apartment complex. Ive just been informed by Verizon that they will be suspending/disconnecting the current copper (landline) phone network in my community and I will lose my phone service in three weeks if I dont switch to their fiber setup. You would only know by measuring properly. This is separate from the 2011 assessment by the IARC, which labeled EMFs as possibly carcinogenic. The IARC is also part of WHO. If you can keep your same DSL connection for now, stick with it until you learn more about this and have a prudent path forward where you know the solutions will work for both of you (for instance GPON fiber to the home with a truly low-EMI media converter, once we find one that has been made). When the planes are going for their practice runs, the observatory is not used. A nearby cell tower invades our house with frequency radiation. In your reply, you write that the new article will explain how to set up ones own home fiber optic network between the modem and the computer to create an EMI barrier between Comcast data system and my computer. Here are a few: 1.) You are the first person I have heard talk about this potential issue. Now do I know, I am an EE so I do know a little bit about this stuff. Yes I can see your point, but things are changing and lucky for all of us God is in charge and making changes and these will ultimately be part of the change. While we dont know exactly how fiber may reduce cancer risk, it likely has to do with the fact that it helps improve some of the common risk factors for cancer. We avoid using tertiary references. Wi-Fi uses electromagnetic radiation to connect electronic devices. It could also not affect you at all. Bluetooth uses the generally harmless non-ionizing type of electromagnetic waves. There may also be an additional wireless component to that infrastructure. But, since HFC connection and using VOIP (non-wireless corded phones), I have measured 700-800 V/m at the phone, yet THE Server 1 phone connected to copper cable measures 7.5 V/m. I think your EE acknowledges my point when he uses phrases such as are not *effective* radiators and that EMI is the *primary* issue. I know the modem is in the room below me and I know the side of the room where it is. She is even injured by the tower and it seems to be what has given me the stroke and heart attack. + all phones are on a copper line only, all zero AC. Would that do a thing, or is the solution to get them to remove it, I think they were Ok with that. 3.) Do you have a YouTube channel? When I unplug the internet, I can use it as my word processor much longer. The ONT (fiber modem) is usually provided by the company. www.ecmweb.com is using a security service for protection against online attacks. With your Bluetooth earbuds in, you can listen to an audiobook loaded on your smartphone or crank up your playlist during your daily workout. Thanks Jeromy. Pressurized head? EMI from Specialty Lighting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6fZP-J2brk 1) If the Fiber Optics were installed right to my house, but not hooked up (leave the O.N.T. In effect they are all just light and glass from the ISP to the customer. There are several ways that a high-fibre diet could reduce your risk of bowel cancer. It will either be phone line DSL, cable or fiber optic. I dont think so, but it would be nice to have your opinion on this. Of course none of this will solve the EMR problems of 5G as THAT will be wireless radiation. And will it even do me any good to move to a different apartment within this complex if it has fiber optics? Here are several ideas to try. It only measures RF (cell tower, WiFi, etc). As for cell towers, antenna search is good. WebAnd because fiber-optic cables are non-metallic, they are not affected by electromagnetic interference (i.e. Fortunately, there are solutions to this issue. Additionally, most studies that have examined the link between Wi-Fi and cancer involve animals. This is so helpful- thank you! As always, a collected analysis. Read through and watch these: Hi Jeromy! When will you have a paper version of the book? Where to check? You will want the Radio Shack AM radio model 12-467, 12-464 or older AM radio. We are reliant on our landline, which is in an old fashioned telephone jack. Because the body is unable to absorb and Finally, this is what I do for a landline setup even when going through the modem: https://www.emfanalysis.com/analog-phone-system/, Jeromy, you write: (I get my internet access through Comcast and use a wired connection with my own non-wifi router. + the buildings Internet and phone equipment and their electronically hashed power supplies are in a metallic grounded cabinet. I have an iPhone 12 max pro and My hands go numb after only holding the phone five or 10 minutes. According to the researchers, this suggests that Wi-Fi affects the heart. WebHow can fibre reduce bowel cancer risk? They arent spread via wireless technology. The scientists pointed to data showing electromagnetic fields generated by cell phones, wi-fi and baby monitors may impact human health. The link between snus and cancer has been extensively researched, but the conclusions are mixed. IARC Director Christopher Wild, PhD, called for additional research on the long-term, heavy use of mobile phones and recommended the use of pragmatic measures to reduce exposure such as hands-free devices or texting., That same year, though, a systematic review found no statistically significant increase in risk for adult brain cancer and other head tumors from wireless phone use. The U.S Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has also determined that the current limit on radio frequency energy set by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission continues to protect public health. This inadvertent EMI then piggybacks on the copper cable and phone lines into our homes where it can radiate from every copper wire. Or should I move to a completely new complex As soon as possible? Specifically, fiber can help: Control your blood sugar. Our experts continually monitor the health and wellness space, and we update our articles when new information becomes available. If you can use an older cable network, that should be better. + one computer tower is wrapped in a carbon plastic sheet, grounded I was thinking if I get the line to run to the garage and shield the converter, then run it to my own modem/router, would that result in less DE because I dont have copper running right into the house? Not to confuse with wireless which is thousands of uW/m2. Thank you for the thoughtful update on the current fiber optic technology / installations. I also want to say that I completely understand the need to for a consultation for the in-depth answers my questions would require. Is there a way to get pdf /printable versions of your blog entries like the one above as well as the Comments section with your incredibly helpful responses to the comments? So I went to the shed and turned off power supply to the ONT. We believed that fibre optic was a safe option. Im not planning on changing this.). From 30 years of personal experience, I know that radio frequency radiation causes me headaches - no doubt about it. My very first mobile telephone With this book, you will quickly learn how to find and create a home that is healthy for you and your family. I was unable to learn whether it was a fixed ground based radar or an AWACS plane. Hi, we have just had fiber optic broadband fitted to all telephone poles in street. So many people on YouTube addressing this issue dont really seem to know nearly as much as you do. My book is not in paperback form at this time. You seem to have a better understanding of this than me. This uses no electrical equipment between the main office and the home. What we need is pure fiber to the home (GPON) with no power backbone (no EMI) and a low-EMI media converter at the home. I am just now learning about EMIs. But he did not know about the RF issues so I told him my story and gave him your website. I have a Comcast router that has no RF emissions, and the electric field measurement by my router and desktop computer is 15 V/m. Then there is no harm at all. Otherwise, they are below ground. Hi Jeromy, thank you for everything you do, and thank you for personally answering my email the other day, amazing!!!! I look for opportunities to send people to your website all the time. Just this summer we bought a Trifield TF2 EMF meter and have made adjustments and rid the house of more EMFs that we were not previously aware of. It is not known to cause cancer. EMI isnt limited to being on electrical wiring. I also apologize if you have answered any of this elsewhere and I just have not come across it yet (Im reading as much and as fast as I can!). A spectrum analyzer would, along with an older AM radio, which can pick up wide spectrum common mode EMI from about 500 KHz to 2 MHz. Additionally, one 2018 animal study also found that Wi-Fi reduces the activity of antioxidant enzymes, which combat oxidative stress. Thank you so much, Jeromy, you are a godsend! The reason that I wrote initially is that you suggest in so many words that the radiation is zero. This is why for now I recommend that ES people continue with cable internet. 0.1% of the time. Thanks for the timely info! 2005-2023 Healthline Media a Red Ventures Company. Your Ethernet cables wont matter too much, as long as they are shielded and groundable with metal RJ45 endings. A 2016 animal study found that radiation emitted from Wi-Fi causes DNA damage in the testes of rats. Glad the low-EMF steps are working well for you. Choose a package at or below 100 Mbps and stay away from 1 or 10 Gbps packages, which will likely add more EMI to your home. He said AT&T doesnt have records and wants to put in fiber on towns main road. And lastly, will devices like the sine tamer which is installed at the circuit box and designed to reduce dirty electricity reduce the EMI? My Mother is insanely affected by things like LED lightingif she sits under an LED light for just 10 minutes she turns from feeling great to literally deathly ill and downright green. Do you or do you have technicians that can go to homes and do all of the things you recommend? Thanks for addressing this. So, we are addicted to speed for family peace. My town wants our consent to install the Fiber Optic cable to our home free of charge (it will cost us if we want it later on). Have you any idea if there is a filter that can be connected between the source of power and between VOIP connection and phones? requires a 110v electrical outlet for power supply and also contains a battery backup of up to 6 hours. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified electromagnetic fields, especially from cell phones, as possibly carcinogenic. Noting that there could be some risk, the IARC concluded in 2011 that we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk." An example is that of the power supply units for laptops, netbooks, induction charging docks for portables like phones and tablets, as well as the desktop, let alone the All-In-One (AIO) computers. I declined, and hopefully they havent done that. Passive splitters are rapidly replacing old hybrid fiber / coax systems that would have been placed on poles or in pedestals. If you experience increased electrical sensitivity at your computer after high-speed fiber optics are installed in your neighborhood, consider installing your own fiber optic system between your cable modem and computer. Ionizing radiation is described by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences as mid- to high-frequency radiation that can, under some circumstances, lead to DNA or cell damage after extended exposure. I would also like that document very much please! You are correct in that with some systems, the EMI on the data lines will go into each home, much like solar system EMI on the electrical wiring. (2020). I wont bore you with the details but suffice it to say that during a recent power outage that lasted all night the entire family slept better and woke up feeling more refreshed than we have in years. Do you know if your internet provider is installing GPON or FTTC fiber? Thank you, too, for mentioning flicker sensitivity. I dont believe Ive heard of that. Yes, there can be an issue with EMI on the electrical wiring and the data line coming into the home. Non-ionizing EMF is low-level radiation which is generally Its best to ask what type of system they have. computers and laptops, and Bluetooth devices (such as wireless headphones) emit Nope. Its just glass & light, and the fiber doesnt want to lose light - almost all of it stays inside, and what does leak out is quickly absorbed Is there anything you would recommend please? They are putting high amounts of EMI on the home data lines and electrical system. To go from hypothesis to reality as to the existence of fields in living space is simple: measure the fields with a meter tuned to the frequency you are concerned about. They are currently drilling on my street for fiber optic wiring (for upcoming 5G), all underground, installing boxes every few houses to split the wires, including a box on our lawn. done that. How do I find out where the underground cables are? Its complex and vitally important, but I think we will eventually figure it out. Hi, Im all for getting rid of cell towers and 5G and wifi etc etc but this article is just 100% BS. Soluble fiber attracts water and turns to gel during digestion, My view is it is best to err on the side of safety rather than to wait until one becomes ill. That was my gut reaction from the get-go, although I could not base my instinct on any cold, hard facts, being virtually ignorant of the technology. Yildirim ME, et al. I wish I shared your optimism Jeromy, the Bible states that money is the root of all evil and seeing there are billions of dollars at stake here, I cant see any company even the slightest bit concerned with public health as long as their coffers overflow. Server 1 is going to disconnect my phone in two months and if I cant solve this problem with the power adapter and this problem of the 700-800V/m, then I am in real problems. It seems to be dependent on the equipment used by the internet providers, along with multiple other factors including the home and the individual.
