Tinfoil Helmet?
What kind of idiot do you think I am? Those things don’t work. I’m getting one of these things.

Living in her own Faraday Cage……sort of. There was no mention of insulating the ceiling or floor, which would really complete the job. Nor of grounding the shielding, which would be most important. Then again, she wears that metal burqa, so maybe that’s all she needs.
EMR in a high enough density is a major concern for people (I’m an amateur radio operator, and have to be aware of that particular problem). But you don’t see that sort of density in appliances and consumer level radio gear…..because the power output is regulated for that very reason. There’s a reason why microwave ovens can’t be turned on while the door is open.
Maybe more research will clarify this matter, but for now, it sounds an awful lot like pyramid power, crystal healing, or wearing tinfoil hats.

It sounds to me like they should do more research into what else was going on in this woman’s life when she got sick with this supposed electrosensitivity. I’d be willing to bet there’s a failed love affair or a job catastrophe in the mix somewhere.

Shhhh! Don’t tell her that the sun emits electromagnetic radiation. She’ll be wanting to become a troglodyte.

Yeah, Rebecca, that sounds about right. It’s soooooo easy to blame something else for your problems, especially if people enable you. I noticed that she has some sort of a medical excuse not to work…..is she on welfare? Maybe there’s a relationship here.
I wonder what would happen if someone hid a radio beacon inside her apartment, unbeknownst to her, as part of an experiment.

Newsflash for moonbats: the earth itself has a pretty strong magnetic field surrounding it.

Also, if you hook it up to your cell phone, it boosts your range 50%!

BUAWHAHAHAHAHA, Purple Avenger! How true! What if we sent her a compass tricked out to point “south”, and suggest that she might have negative polarity?

Jeff, she’d probably spend all day hanging from gravity boots.
The thing that bothered me about this whole thing was reading the comments that followed the article. Almost everyone who commented said that they also suffered from this “condition”.
Let the legal profession get to work on this and you will be liable for “pain and suffering” damages for answering your cell phone.

CavMedic, it’s clear that the medical profession in (formerly) Great Britain is already milking this for all it’s worth. The lawyers are likely already circling for the kill.

Did you read the comments on that article? The commenters are just as nutty as she is.
