Christ in Me! An article about healing, prayer and my faith...
Christ In Me!
I've been pondering I Corinthians 11:23-32 for probably 20 years or so now:
I Corinthians 11:23-32 (New International Version)
23For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." 25In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." 26For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
27Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. 29For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment. 32When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.
It has always troubled me that “not recognizing the body of the Lord” causes believers to be “weak and sick, and number have (died.)” I've heard a few explanations, like it was because they didn't believe in the full giftings of the Holy Spirit, but that isn't what the Scripture says. It says “not recognizing the body of the Lord.”
The Contemporary English Version puts it so well: “29If you fail to understand that you are the body of the Lord, you will condemn yourselves by the way you eat and drink. 30That's why many of you are sick and weak and why a lot of others have died.” If I'd heard it put that way, I don't think I would have spent all these years having to figure it out! Because that is exactly what I have recently come to realize.
On Monday, March 16, 2009, at about 2am, the idea came to me fully formed – that “recognizing the body of the Lord” meant realizing that Jesus Christ lives in me and that I have the same power and authority that Christ had when he was on the earth. Scripture says that:
Mark 16:17-20 (New International Version)
17”And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
That section has also troubled me. Why is it that sometimes I can pray for people and they get well right away? Once when I was just out of college, I prayed for an old man who had clubbed hands. He said he was old and used to the way he was, but that he certainly wouldn't stop me from praying! I did so, and his daughter reported that he was completely healed the next morning! Other times, I pray for people and nothing happens. Also, I have suffered with much illness through my life and so have my children – especially my son. Not so much things like colds, but more like allergies and headaches – things that are nagging and don't really go away. Things that make us “weak and sick.”
So, that same we went into Vancouver, passing dozens of cell phone towers, power lines, etc. -- things that usually make Aaron and I “weak and sick.” I decided to claim “the Joy of the Lord is my strength!” and meditated on it every time I started to feel the effects of one of those things. I did just fine.
However, the next day, I was FLAT OUT. I had coughed so hard during the night that I blew out my back and I was so dizzy I couldn't even walk! That lasted for two days. We realized it was an attack the 2nd day of it and trusted the Lord for our healing.
Thursday I woke up at about 2am with the Holy Spirit urging me to start claiming some of this healing He's provided for me. He had me start with my deviated septum. The septum up inside my forehead was badly broken as was a small section down inside my nose. I hadn't had air-flow on the left side of my nose for probably 5 years or more? He had me visualize the broken areas moving back to where they belonged and using my finger-tips to gently move them back into place while speaking health and healing to my septum. It took several hours, but I now have air-flow on both sides of my nose! He also had me pray for my lower back and spine in general. I noticed more stability.
The next day, the Lord had me pray for my damaged nerves in my right leg and foot. I've had an area that was totally numb that wrapped around my right heel and went up the inside of my right foot towards my ankle, though not that high. After praying, I now have full pressure-sensation in my foot. There's a tiny spot, about the size of a dime, on the inside of my foot that doesn't have light-touch sensation yet, but it is very inconsequential. It is cool to be able to feel where I'm walking! Praise the Lord!
I spent most of last week just pleading for Aaron to be well. I've seen some improvement, but not as much as we need.
Last night, Sunday March 29, I was awake for hours. During that time, the Lord had me praying for my neck and upper back – speaking health and healing and restoration into them. He had me visualize scraping off all the arthritis from the bones, then moving the vertebrae apart and putting the disks back how they should be. He, also, had me speaking rest and peace into the muscles around my neck and upper back. That was really quite profound. I did notice a difference today. My shoulders would try to tense back to their normal position, but as soon as I realize it they relax back down to where they are supposed to be. My pain level is remarkably less.
I shared this with my accountability group at church last week and our leader, Myke, really connected with what I was saying. While doing the announcements this morning, he talked about several folks that he's prayed for this week and how the Lord is healing them. Praise the Lord!
April 6, 2009 – I saw Dr. Deary, the chiropractor, and Angela, the massage therapist last week. I told them about the healing I've been experiencing in my back. Both of them could definitely tell the difference in my back. The massage therapist said the knots and ridges that are usually in my upper back were not there at all. The chiropractor said she could feel the difference as soon as she touched my back. It is so cool to have objective proof of what God is doing in me!
Also, this morning I noticed that I have full sensation in my foot now. There is no longer any numbness.
I still have a ways to go... a long way... but I'm confident that God will bring me there!

Thoughts about Electromagnetic Radiation Toxicity
2-21-09
I thought I would write down some of my thoughts about Electro-Magnetic Frequencies / Electro-Magnetic Fields / Electro-Magnetic Radiation / Electro-Magnetic Poisoning. (EMFs throughout the rest of this document) – what I've learned, our symptoms, as well as the changes I'm noticing with my new Qlink pendant.
First, I need to note what our symptoms have been:
Dan – Exhausted all the time. Doesn't move once he's home from work unless asked to do so. Has frequent headaches and backaches. His knees, shoulders and neck hurt often. He has difficulty falling asleep at night – stays up till 11:30pm or later when needing to get up at 5am. When given the opportunity, he will sleep in till 10am or later, then, again, not move all day. Recently started snoring.
Jessica – Headaches, fatigue, moodiness, spaciness and forgetfulness. Inability to process information. Food and chemical sensitivities.
Aaron – Wild, erratic behavior. Acting like a “chicken” at very inappropriate times. Not able to follow directions. Moody, grumpy, food and chemical sensitivities. Migraines, with aura. Stomach aches, fatigue, forgetfulness, easily distracted . Feeling like “heart is hammering out of chest.” Switching from one extreme of behavior to the other with “no rhyme or reason,” (although now I seem to see a pattern – he's inside, he feels badly; he's outside, he's fine. This is directly related to the EMFs in the house and relatively few outside.)
Melody – Headaches, fatigue, spaciness, not able to follow directions, easily distracted, moodiness, lingering illness, food and chemical sensitivities, stomach aches.
Sharron – Fatigue, high blood pressure spells. “Heaviness,” tightness in chest, feeling like “heart is hammering out of chest.” Spaciness, moodiness, grumpiness, food and chemical sensitivities. Stomach aches, nausea, “migraine symptoms,” dry heaves/throwing up, constipation. Headaches, joint pain – notably in right big toe, constantly having to have it pulled-on and “popped,” and my right shoulder and neck. Advanced arthritis in neck and lower back, muscle pain, “fibromyalgia” & “chronic fatigue.” Inability to stay awake while driving, “crashing” (head hurts, stomach hurts, whole body muscles ache, fighting to stay awake, so tired I feel like I'm going to cry.) Feeling “loopy” and forgetfulness, easily distracted. Pain level is always at least a 6 out of 10, needing to take pain medication 24/7 (at least Naproxen, sometimes Tramadol.) Sleep pattern disturbances – having to get up frequently to use the rest room at night, sometimes as often as every hour, never longer than 4 hours sleep at a stretch. Snoring and falling asleep randomly during the day.
How did I discover that EMFs might be a problem?
I observed that Aaron would get really wild and have a lot of trouble concentrating after playing video games. We've had a lot more troubles with him “getting sick” during school time than we used to have in the past. He gets pasty colored and complains of a bad headache. He can't hardly keep his head up and is very lethargic. Then, almost without warning, he'll be acting wild and crazy – flapping his arms like a chicken and “bok-bok-cocking” loudly! In either condition, he can't follow directions, and his speech is very critical and complaining. I did some searching on the internet and found an article about hyperactive behavior being linked to technology here.
(I also have a copy saved as “ADHD linked to video games”) I found it very interesting that especially pre-teen boys were susceptible to bad behavior after using technology products. We got a new Xbox system for Christmas and have seen an increase in Aaron's difficulties.
I found another article that talked about fluorescent lights being a problem, especially for boys. (I saved a copy as “Fluorescent lights, EMFs in ADHD) It was that article that made me aware of the EMFs, but I didn't really know what to call them. In that article, they exposed rats to TVs that were covered in a way that the light from the set wasn't visible, but the radiation exposure continued. The rats exhibited marked hyperactivity and aggressive behavior. They also said that hyperactive behavior increased under fluorescent lights and decreased with normal incandescent lighting. We have switched to fluorescent bulbs recently, as well.
I did some “muscle testing” with Aaron, and he tested weak to the fluorescent bulbs. We went around the house and switched out the fluorescent tubes and replaced them with regular bulbs.
Then I came across this article: The Dark Side of Cell Phone Technology. Wow! Was this one an eye-opener! First it talked about a family who had owned their land and had been successful, healthy farmers with a successful, healthy farm for over 150 years. A cell phone tower was installed 800 feet from their house. They started having cows die. Their kids started having lots of problems – notably the two youngest became markedly hyperactive. They began having sleep disturbances. They were advised to move to an “electrically clean” area where they lived for over a year. After about 2 to 3 months, their symptoms began to subside. Unfortunately, they needed to farm, so they moved back. The mom was pregnant – this baby was born with birth defects. People in town reported an increase in suicide rates and seizures. After three years, they moved again, not to return. Within just 3 days of moving back to an electrically clean area, the cows were chewing their cud again... something they had not done in years! Their youngest is still very sensitive to cell towers, computer terminals and cell phones.
This article goes on to state that in another township, Brick, the instances of autism have markedly increased since 1994 when a Doppler Radar weather station was installed directly above their town. The autism rate is 8 out of every 1000 children – a very high number! Who of us doesn't know an autistic child?
“Gro Harlem Brundtland is director-general of the World Health Organization. A medical doctor with a master's degree in public health, as well as former prime minister of Norway, she has recently been speaking in public about her own sensitivity to computers, cordless phones and cell phones.” the article attests. She warns parents against letting children use cell phones or microwave ovens, and she has become very sensitive to the radiation -- she does not let anyone enter her office who has a cell phone on, as they give her headaches.
She is very concerned about the world-wide trend towards giving young children technology products like computers and cell phones. She says ADHD/Hyperactivity and Compulsive Behavior can be exacerbated by these same technologies. Even having a computer-free classroom wouldn't help because the radiation, which is the same as the radiation of a microwave oven, doesn't respect walls. I came across several other articles which stated that the WHO is funding a huge research project on EMFs and childhood cancers, leukemia, behavior problems, ADHD, etc., and I think she is the driving force behind that research.
It is interesting to note that the article states that 15% of all Germans exhibit electrical sensitivity. One county in CA, (Marin), has 7% of it's population sensitive and 3.3% of the entire state is such. It is hard to know for sure because this is a “new” problem and medical doctors are “reluctant” to acknowledge it.
I know that “reluctance” all too well. When I was given a test by a neurologist about 10 years ago – the test involved connecting my nervous system to electrodes and shocking it to see if it responded properly – my system sure responded – because of that bombardment of electricity, it shut down for four days! I was paralyzed! I was hospitalized, and while there, the doctor called me “psychogenic.” I knew exactly what had caused my problem, but they would not recognize it.
This same article goes on to tell how to reduce the exposure to EMFs in the home. All appliances, surge protectors, cordless phones, chargers, etc., should be turned off at night to reduce exposure to the EMFs. We did it that night. I was amazed the next morning to go through the house turning everything back on and to feel the “heaviness” I'd become accustomed to return! My children noticed that they could feel the emissions, as well.
In the article, they mention a gaussmeter. It is an electrical field measuring device. I learned that we could borrow one from our local public utility company. This is the document I found on-line. I thought it significant that our utility company recognizes that EMFs are issues – enough so to loan out equipment to test for them!
Back to the “Dark Side of Cell Phone Technology” article -- In it they describe how to use the gaussmeter. Essentially, the ideal is 0.2 milligauss or less for EMF emissions within the home. It is especially important for sleeping areas. They suggest using an AM radio, operated by batteries, to help with the testing.
We went to the PUD and borrowed a gaussmeter. Then we proceeded to go through the house measuring the EMFs we found. We hadn't yet got the radio going. What we found with the meter, however, was pretty startling:
Our LED clocks register at 84+ to off the scale!
Our microwave / oven combination registers over 70+ when not in use.
What was really shocking were the fish tanks. The 10 gallon one is 75+ and the 5 gallon one blows the meter's scale at over 200+!!
Aaron had been sleeping with that 5 gallon tank, a hanging lamp and various other gadgets, notably his cell phone, and the computer on the same connecting wall outside his room, all about six inches from his head. No wonder he's had trouble falling asleep at night and been sick! We immediately moved all of the “gear” he had by his bed to other locations throughout the house and unplugged the computer on the opposite wall outside his room. He moved his head position to the other end of his bed, trying to get away from the electrical outlet.
We went for a walk to the park a day or so after I had learned about EMFs. By that time we were all becoming aware of the sensations we get when exposed to EMFs. As we walked, we became aware of the transformers on power poles above us. I could tell by how I felt when I was coming near one! While at the park, there were no direct things to expose us – there are no power lines or anything running through it, except down the road to the river. When we walked down there, I could feel it! Then, on the way home, as we got further from the river, the electrical load became heavier. My head started hurting and my chest became tight... as we entered our home, it intensified.
We have a few areas in the home that are low on the gaussmeter. We finally got batteries into the radio, and some, also, corresponded by being quiet on the radio. Some areas are high on the meter and loud with the radio test. We discovered that Aaron's room is high on the meter – over 0.1 he and I both feel the negative effects – his room was between 0.1 and 4.3, mostly around 0.5, and it was loud on the radio, too. His hanging light that he's had his entire life is part of the problem. We tested it at the switch and it was very loud and high on the meter. Could this be the root of his problems?? A light??
We tested all around the house and discovered that several “innocent” items caused a lot of static on the radio and had radiation emissions. There is a particular light that is a household favorite to sit under and read by. It's emissions aren't too terrible (0.2 to 0.3), but it made the radio get loud! That explains some of the headaches we've been having.
Back to my research – I read this general article about EMFs, then I came upon this site which has a huge volume of information. (I am just citing these, so you can do further research if you wish, and so you can see where I went with my studies.) I, also, discovered a site in which you can do online study courses!
I read a few more sites and articles, some of which are very techincal in nature, but all essentially saying the same thing – EMFs are dangerous and we need to limit/eliminate our exposure. My question was: How can I do this and still function as we need to with technology?
I did another search trying to find something that could protect us from this radiation and stumbled upon some different products. There were some crazy necklaces filled with “imploded water” or some such nonsense, others were hawking “magical beads” and one site was selling devices that would “correct the electromagnetic waves” in your home. The product which seemed most reasonable was a necklace (pendant) called Q-Link (Qlink) that has some sort of mechanism inside it. There were extensive online reviews at Amazon and other sites promoting their products. Here is one example. After reading many testimonials and gathering as much information about the product as I could, I decided this was the route were going to take to try to protect ourselves from this radiation.
One particular page I viewed had a video that was originally done by a London news station. In they proved that the Qlink caused disorganized blood cells to become organized again... simply saying that it reversed the effects of the radiation.
The early version of the Qlink, which is what I ordered, has the mechanism by which it works visible. I know enough about science to see that it is some sort of a battery or antenna-type device. Somewhere along the way in my research, I learned that our bodies operate at about 10MHz. I suspect that this is a little 10MHz battery or antenna. Obviously, I'm not a scientist, but it seems reasonable to me that we could wear such a device and thus boost our own body's resonant electrical signature. This boost would enable our bodies to resist the negative effects of outside electrical influences and, in essence, hold its own against them.
The following journal entries will document our experiences in the coming days and weeks with the Qlink. I'm hopeful that it will help my family and be an encouragement to you, as well.

The necklaces arrived yesterday. The kids and I put ours on around noon and Dan put his on about 6 or 7 pm.
There is an area that I drive by when I'm coming home from Vancouver that takes me by 3 communications towers and a bunch of electrical towers and even a relay station of some sort. I'd never put it together till we learned about EFAs, but I always “crash” when I come through that area of town. Always! My head hurts, my stomach hurts and I fight to stay awake. Now that I recognize the feeling, I can pick out a communications tower before I can even see it. I start to feel shaky and even lightheaded when I come close to them. My chest will tighten and hurt, too. Yesterday, after having worn the necklace for about 5 hours, I did NOT crash when I drove by the towers. Now, I was in my “classic” situation for crashing – I'd been really busy, out all day with no rest time at all. I didn't do it though. My energy stayed good all the way through dinner. I fell asleep afterwards – we'll see if that comes to change as the days and weeks progress with the Qlink.
The thing that was the most noticeable yesterday was that Aaron played video games for a while with his friends, and he didn't display any “chicken” behavior.
We had very limited direct EMF radiation during the day. We actively tried to limit it, so Aaron could play games with his friends. I think that is why we noticed a benefit immediately from the pendants.
2-23-09
Yesterday Aaron got very overloaded with EMFs. He started the morning with video games. He did fine, behavior-wise, till we got to church, then after about 45 minutes of being there, he developed a migraine. There are a lot of electrical gadgets all over the building. Then, he didn't give his system a break from the EMFs in the afternoon. He turned on the computer, watched TV, and, I think, even played some video games. By last evening, he was miserable with a terrible, throbbing migraine headache.
Dan and I noticed some very personal improvements.
Today was also very stressful on our systems. The kids had dentist appointments, and we were exposed to a number of cell phone towers along the way, not to mention all the computers, fluorescent lighting, etc. Aaron has flipped back and forth between being wild and “like a chicken” to being absolutely miserable and literally laying on the floor all day long. By bedtime, he was doubled over with stomach cramps.
All the radiation took its tolls on me, too. I fell asleep at the dentist's office and had to eat sunflower seeds to stay awake on the highway on the way home even though I was full from lunch!
I had a bad experience with Brandon, too. He asked me to test him to see if he was sensitive to the radiation.
I've figured out an easy way to muscle test someone, (if they don't test well by my pressing on their arm), is for me to “complete the circuit” myself. I place my left hand on their stomach or chest and then use my index finger of my right hand as the strong or weak point. I push on the first joint of the index finger with the tip of my middle finger.
Well, he wasn't testing well, (he rarely does), so I used my own hands. When I asked the question, “Cell phone?,” I got such a shock that I was pushed away from him. I felt like I had been hammered in the stomach, chest ,and head, and felt like I was going to vomit! It was like I'd been hit by lightning or a downed power line! I sat and reeled for several minutes then left to come back home. I felt like I was going to cry, my chest hurt so bad. Then when I got home, I did cry. Melody checked my EMFs by putting the gaussmeter against my chest – I registered a 0.6!!
Normally, we've discovered a person will read 0 or 0.1. If I've been exposed to a lot of radiation, I might read a 0.2 or 0.3 – and then I'll not be feeling well at all... and I was registering a 0.6?!
I was hurting quite bad and continued to do so for approximately two hours. My sister prayed for me, I took some Rescue Remedy and some sea salt before I began to improve. After all that, I then registered a 0 or 0.1 on the meter. Thank the Lord, it didn't go any longer than that. I fell asleep hard in my chair as soon as I'd eaten my dessert.
I'm so frustrated with all this! I hope these necklaces start working soon. I know they are working on a cellular level, but we need to feel them on a consistent basis, soon. I don't know how much longer I can take all this. Melody was sick again, too, today. She was coughing and vomiting, so we kept her down, again. I'm pumping her full of vitamins and insisting she drink water. I'll do the same again tomorrow. From what I've read, it could be a couple of weeks before we notice any real differences.
It's so hard. I now know it isn't anything organic that is causing our illnesses. How can I protect them from electrical fields? All I know is that I hope these pendants work. I don't know what I'll do if they don't.
Dan doesn't seem so exhausted this evening, but it is hard to say because I had my own issues going on.
2-24-09
We struggled through today. We turned off the fish tanks when we were going to be in the room with them. We also did the AM Radio Test referred to in the Dark Side of Cell Phone Technology article here. We were quite amazed to find out that Aaron's room still has a resonant signature of at least 0.5 up to 4.5 and makes the radio buzz loudly. We are moving him into a different bedroom tonight!
He was still “sick”, as was I, but it wasn't quite as bad. We turned off everything we could turn off and did our schoolwork in my bedroom.
I sure could tell when he'd been around the fish tanks or my computer! He immediately got wild and then crashed.
I've discovered that if I hold the pendant in my hand up near my heart, it is like getting a “double dose” of the “protective energy,” as I like to think of it, from it. I can actually feel it, and I feel better when holding onto it. Unfortunately, I can't sit like that for very long! It does give me an idea of what I will feel like in a couple of days though.
Dan is tired, grumpy and head achy tonight.

Aaron woke up and said he'd slept really well last night. I cannot remember the last time he said that! He was also not wild or head achy first thing this morning.
We had to drive into Vancouver mid-morning because Aaron broke his glasses. We all could feel the cell phone towers as we approached them. At one point I hit the “so tired I feel like crying” and severe muscle aches – there were 3 towers in less than a mile radius!
I went to see my chiropractor after dropping the kids off at home. I removed my pendant for my treatment. When I was done, I put my own shoes and ankle supports on – I usually need help. I've noticed that overall my joints aren't hurting quite so severely as usual since Sunday morning. Then, I put my pendant back on. Wow! I could actually feel a difference! I always feel better after seeing the chiropractor, but this was like another step up from that – like energy. I, also, noticed that I didn't feel head achy while eating lunch at the table in front of the fish tank. I can actually feel a difference with the Qlink!

Wow! It has been 10 days since I last logged an entry. We have begun noticing when we are around the radiation significantly. Aaron gets wild and unruly, then he crashes. His fish tanks are particularly bad – still uncertain what we are going to do about that! We are really noticing the Qlinks helping now, though, in earnest. Yesterday was the first real, definite “I can tell it is working” day we've had. Since my last log, we've pretty much been sick! I didn't even think about the detoxification factor... I'm pretty sure that is what has been going on. It hasn't been pleasant! We've all had stomach aches, headaches, cold symptoms, but NO fevers. That is why I don't think we've had a virus, but rather the detox. However, yesterday was better for everyone but Dan till last night... which would make sense since he got his necklace in the evening and we got ours in the morning!
Aaron had a bad exposure to radiation from his fish tanks first thing in the morning. He had to sit and wait while one of his guppies was giving birth, so he could catch the babies and put them in the baby tank. He'd been just fine before that, then after that he was wild and unruly. I had prayed specifically for him and for me to have more patience and wisdom with him. I sent him outside for a while and it helped. Then, we did school in my room with all EMFs turned off! He crashed, but not as hard as in the past and was able to do his schoolwork just fine!!! That is amazing!!! Also, he's usually sick after church. He felt just fine this evening. So did I.
I particularly noticed that my pain level was way lower all day than what it has been for quite some time. I started the morning by going downstairs and waking everyone up. Usually, I won't try that unless I absolutely have to because of not having any support for my ankles. I did just fine and had no repercussions from it. Normally, if I had done that without support, my right ankle would have been painful all day. It was not. I also noticed a significant decrease in the pain in my neck and shoulder before I went to bed. It wasn't even hurting at all. ...and using the computer isn't bothering me like it had been. I feel it, but barely.
Oh! I, also, drove around town today and didn't even notice the cell phone towers. That is huge! Cool!

Another advancement: We went to WINCO grocery store last night. It is a huge place. Usually, about ½ way through, I crash. Also, about ½ way through is a bench. I usually have to sit on it for quite a while and then force myself to keep going. Not last night! After not feeling well from a cold I'm fighting with, I got up at 5pm and headed out to grocery shop. I did just fine. I did not need to sit on the bench and I wasn't thrashed at the end like I usually am. I was thirsty, as usual, (didn't realize this was a toxicity reaction, but it appears to be so), but I didn't guzzle my whole drink almost immediately as I usually do. This time, I did have a big drink when we got out to the car, but that was it. We still have ½ a bottle of tea left.
Also, when going through the “gauntlet,” as I'm calling that region of Hwy 14 with all the power lines and cell towers, I only felt it slightly. There was a slight pressure on my chest as we passed the electrical towers, then I got a little muddle-headed as we passed the cell towers. The effect went away and I was fine when we got home. I did not need to sit down and crash for an hour or two as usual. I got right in and fixed a rather elaborate dinner. Normally, I would bring home a prepared dinner from the store, and we'd eat after I'd had a nap.
I didn't realize at first that I did have another “detox” reaction. I know it was one now because my sister had it and told me about it. The first or second night she wore it, she was up about every 20 to 30 minutes having to go potty. I did this also for a couple of nights, only mine was once an hour.
Her husband is loving his necklace – he can really feel a difference in energy and mental clarity. Yay! She mentioned that she forgot to wear hers for about 18 hours – her brain fog was much worse without it.
I know that I notice when I put mine back on after taking it off to shower or go to the chiropractor. It feels like a surge of “well-being” when I put it back on.

We've had an interesting side benefit to being aware of the radiation. My son has several fish tanks. When we had the gaussmeter, they all tested off the scale for radiation! We immediately started turning them off during the day and just leaving the lights on in the tanks. We use the pumps and filters at night – they are in rooms that are away from our sleeping quarters.
We were a little concerned that this might cause a negative effect on our fish. I was concerned that they might start dying again! Rather, we've seen the opposite effect! We lost one fish right after this change, but she was already injured. Since then, we've not lost a single fish, we've had mature guppies coloring out further and we've had babies every single day!! We're having a guppy population explosion! Certainly not what we expected, but very fun!

Wow! I haven't reported for quite some time. My husband decided to stop wearing his Qlink because “it didnt' do anything.” Well, let me tell you – the kids and I sure could tell he wasn't wearing it! I could tell because of something very private. The kids could tell because he suddenly stopped being playful and started being grouchy again. We insisted he put it back on!
I must say, though, that the benefits weren't what I'd hoped for Aaron and I. The girls and my husband aren't as sensitive as Aaron and I are. The Qlinks pretty much did it for them, as far as taking care of their symptoms. However, Aaron still is having a lot of “sick” time and I still wasn't feeling as well as I'd hoped. Yes, it is better – I can go into Vancouver without getting sick anymore. I can come home from a shopping trip and keeping going without having to immediately sit down and sleep for an hour and a half. That is a big deal! Unfortunately, it isn't enough.
I started looking further. I found a product called Aulterra. It is a mineral that was recently discovered, (within the last 10 years or so), that completely eliminates radiation and has shown benefit for electromagnetic poisoning. I purchased a whole-house unit and the Aulterra powder from InspiredLiving.com.
They shipped it and we had it within two days! We plugged in the house unit, but they say it can take three days for it to really effect the house. We are on the fourth day now. We, (Aaron and I), started taking 1/8 teaspoon of the powder morning and night. I've given the powder to the girls, but not that regularly. We have put baggies of the powder in various places where the EMFs are high in the house, and we made our own “stickers” from the powder and clear packing tape. I just laid out a strip of tape about six inches long and stuck the Aulterra powder to it. I then put another piece of tape over the top and around the edges. I cut them into 1/2” pieces and we slid them into our cell battery areas. I muscle tested one of the kids without the “sticker” and the phone, and she tested weak. When I put the “sticker” into the battery area, she tested strong.
Saturday, April 11, 2009 in the early evening was our first dose of Aulterra powder. All that day Aaron and I had been experiencing pretty bad EMF reactions. Our legs had a lot of muscle pain, we had headaches and generally just didn't feel well. Just holding onto the container made us feel a bit better. Once we took the 1/8 teaspoon of powder under the tongue with a glass of water, our leg pains disappeared!
I noticed right away that when I take the powder it is like having a really good pain killer and an allergy pill in my system. I can, also, tell when it wears off because I start to hurt again and my nose stuffs up.
Sunday I had good energy, and Sunday was the first church day I can remember that Aaron didn't have any kind of EMF reaction. He, also, played video games and used the computers that day. Monday he was a mess. He had a full-blown migraine, and was just about as miserable as a boy can be. I had him put a Ziplock with the Aulterra powder in it in his pocket, and it helped him enough that he was at least able to do some schoolwork. Monday my pain was up, and I ended up being sick. I vomited, had a fever and body aches and chills. I think it was a “detox” reaction, but when I contacted the company they said they'd not heard of anyone having that sort of response. I'm pretty sure that is what it was for me, though, because I've had them before.
We got another product yesterday, Monday, April 13, 2009. They are Himalayan Salt Table Lamps. This is what the manufacturer says about them:
The benefit of ionizers is well known. While most ionizers on the market are man made machines, the salt crystal lamp is a beautiful alternative of mother nature, without any noise and NO harmful OZONE! Salt crystal lamps are highly suitable for daily use in the whole house. ... and around smokers. ... in offices to reduce fatigue, the lamp will minimize the effect of all that radiation ... improves your concentration and refreshes you by neutralizing the effects of an artificial environment. Benefits------- - Air purifier. - Improves Sleep. - Speeds recovery in burn patients. - Relieves Migraine headaches. - Reduces Stress. - Reduces the severity of asthma attacks. - Boosts Serotonin levels in the bloodstream. - Aids relief from sinus problems. - Enhances the immune system. - Increase work productivity and concentration. - Improves learning and alertness. - People tend to feel more alert, stable and energized in the presence of negative ions - Relief in irritation and tension, exhaustion, and hyperthyroid response.
Once the lamp warmed up, I could really feel a soothing atmosphere in the room. Aaron seemed to be better when it was on, too. We'll need more time and exposure to be able to really tell.
Today, I feel great! I slept well – have been since starting the Aulterra powder. I'm sleeping a minimum of 2 ½ hours at a stretch, mostly 3 and 4 hours at a time. Last night I slept for 3 hours then 4 hours then I was all done – fully awake with a good charge of energy which hasn't left me yet, and it is 10am as I write this.
Aaron is still not feeling well. Hopefully, he'll be better soon... I'm praying and watching. He is able to do his schoolwork, even though he is very fussy and whiny.
I'm going to post this to my Blogger account at this time.
