Dirty Little Secrets About Dirty Electricity

 If you've never heard of dirty electricity, then you're probably healthy. Or maybe you depend on doctors to figure out why you're sick, and they don't know what dirty electricity is either. It's unfortunate that when we go to the doctor with pains and complaints, doctors don't ask us about our favorite spot to relax or where we spend most of our time. Because we could be spending time in areas that are killing us.

Before I link to an article that will give you more info, what you REALLY need to know is that smart meters create dirty electricity in your home electric wires. (Right now you're wondering what a smart meter is, and how do you know if you have one?) 



Most big cities in the US have switched from analog meters to smart meters. There is nothing good about smart meters other than being able to see reports showing your electric use and peak days and times. Whoopie. Because it's not worth the trade in health problems. 

There are other things that cause dirty electricity, such as LED light bulbs, dimmer switches, and solar converters. 

The best way to protect yourself from them is to distance yourself from them. Don't put your favorite chair next to a wall with lots of wires. Same with your bed, especially. My bed is in the middle of the room. I also built a frame out of wood so I wasn't sleeping on a metal frame that makes things worse. I have a Tempurpedic mattress with no metal coils. 

The next best way is to use filters. They have plug in filters as well as "whole house" filters. I'm not linking to any of them, because there are pros and cons to these that go above the scope of this article. You can do a search for "dirty electricity filters" and read more. But for now, I'd focus on distance. 

Oh, I almost forgot. Some people go so far as to turn all the electricity off in their bedroom. This is ideal, but can be a pain. It also means no ceiling fans, and I know how some of you are about that...

If you can opt out of the smart meter, even better.

Here's more about the growing health concerns of dirty electricity.

And books I actually purchased, read, and recommend:

Dirty Electricity: Electrification and the Diseases of Civilization

EMF*D: 5G, Wi-Fi & Cell Phones: Hidden Harms and How to Protect Yourself

The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life  

There are more books out there, and there might be some better than these. But they definitely have been useful for me!
