This is a very interesting project ! People often tell us "I don't feel electromagnetic pollution, don't worry for me, I am fine...". But, one experience made me realize that it more complicated than just "I don't feel" :
My husband agreed to install a canopy around our bed, because I am RF suffering. He agreed for my health and well being, without needing it for himself.
The first day, waking up from a nap (alone in the canopy) after lunch, he told me : "This is amazing, the headache and tinnitus I constantly have had for years came back at the exact moment I got out of the canopy. I didn't even know I had them until they re-appeared!".
This is not all. After the first week, he stated that he will never again sleep outside a canopy, as his quality of sleep and health dramatically improved : no more waking up to rush to the bathroom several times a night, no more nightmares, less back and joints pains (he has back issues due to a car accident), much more energy all day...
In our room, the Safe and Sound Pro II sows between 4 and 10 microwatts, which he doesn't feel. He has a smartphone, "wifi friends", and this is all ok for him. He doesn't feel electrosmog, but he feels when there is no electrosmog.
For sure, providing the opportunity for anyone to experience staying a few days in a pristine environment and housing could have an impact, on their lives and connexion habits. And for sure they would tell others.
What a great testimony Agnes. Thank you for sharing. For sure -- people don't know they're being harmed living in a "service area". Also, for those not familiar, the bed canopy can be great, but only helpful at night. What I'm proposing is 24/7 living for a time in pristine environment.

The model we have is not the best if you have enough space in the room, it is better to choose a cubic shape. Our room is under the roof, with very low ceiling. And the electrosmog here is very low compared to other places.
You need to pay great attention to the shielding performance of the fabric, depending on the levels and frequencies of your location. Also to put a floor shielding sheet underneath, in order to have a proper Faraday cage.
If you don't turn off the electricity at night, or f you have neighbors you should ground it, to shield also from electric fields. Preferably ground it on a separate rod in your garden, when possible.
I love this idea. I recently watched a youtube video of an air b n b in England that is off grid (really just a rectangular box) set in a pasture a few acres away from a farm. There was a propane stove for cooking, a woodstove for heat, candles, books to read and a cassette tape player with batteries for music. There was a huge picture window with the bed next to it that overlooked the rolling pastures and trails through the woods right outside the door. I don't know that it was emf free because they did not say anything about that, but it definitely had the potential.
Keith, I hope your envision of EMF elimination facilities spread world-wide come a reality. To have sensitive people like myself to check in and have an opportunity for our bodies to a digital detox so we can feel good again would be Awesome!!
Maybe we can get an option programmed into Zillow for "EMF-free", similar to "no pets, etc".
I know many people, including myself, who would like to see this happen. It's another market of renters and buyers, which would normally be excluded - so opens up the door to an unknown amount of people, as many with EHS get discouraged before even looking at many properties.
Love the guidelines Keith! Thanks for putting them together as a starting point.
Thank Roman. Yes, I think the guidelines, and potentially 'certification' to those standards, will become a critical part of the vision to insure clients get what they're after.
Provocation testing regimen used in medicine is a disaster for ES/ MCS...Remediation or Removal methodology as he describes is right on. In Utah/ Colorado we are working with a campground with airstream trailers and a hospital with vacant space to create emf safe rental accommodations and a medical testing vacility for ES. Meanwhile we use wildlands White Zone Estuaries for testing, remediation and care for them with our Smart Shelter Land Steward program...now starting official designation and preservation...all of which is draconianly trashed in the Harpers Magazine october edition 2024...check out the telecom hatchet jobs...Evan Malmgren, writer.
I just learned about fiberglass rebar, which could be life changing for someone EHS like me.
It's non-conductive and seems to have more pros than cons https://incomepultrusion.com/pros-and-cons-of-fiberglass-rebar/ The concrete slab that my studio is built on in the traditional way using metal rebar, transmits electrical ground currents, which has been an unending source of difficulty for me. So happy to learn there are other alternatives for the future.
I feel so much joy in reading and re-reading your post Keith, imagining what's possible. Thank you for helping to create this. I experience the value of the levels you list - the indoor levels most especially, but the outdoor ones as well.
I went on a 2 day camping trip to an off grid spot in Big Sur - no wifi, no electricity. I was looking forward to the type of healing retreat you spoke about. The electric and magnetic fields were at 0, but there was a Wifi signal. What??? I realized that it was coming from the other guests who had their phones with them, some turned off and still emitting, and some still turned on, although the closest cell service was 7 miles away. And then were people's vehicles and the embedded wireless radiation emitting devices, starlink, bluetooth, radar, etc. Very sad.
So it seems important that anyone creating such a healing environment take this into consideration too. This will be more challenging. Maybe it would require testing people's vehicles and computers before they are allowed to arrive.
I have created a really good sleeping situation where I live - RF levels under .1 microwatts per meter sq. (generally .025-.008). Unfortunately electric and magnetic fields are too high and will require moving. I've done as much mitigation as is possible, and now know what I'm needing in my next rental - including no RF outdoors (or as low as possible). I do find that even spending day trips in pristine areas of nature helps a lot to quiet my nervous system, and this is what I'm doing while I search for my next home.
Thanks for you valuable comment Satya. This week, for a client seeking a new home purchase, I evaluated a well appointed home w/ low EF, MF and the RF throughout was less than 0.1 uW/m2--a surprising find in a remote corner of the vast county in which I live, less than 30 minutes from town.
Thank you Keith for this amazing research and information. I have been living in Los Angeles on and off the last 5 years taking care of a family member who had stage four prostate cancer and when I got home they put a Wi-Fi tower out in front of my house.
In that time I got rear-ended and had a torn labrum in my hip and they put a titanium post with a ceramic ball in my leg and my symptoms have only gotten worse the last year. Now I'm thinking about moving. I need to take a deep dive into your research and get a plan of action I've hardwired my phone and my TV into the router but I still get affected.
I will have to read this later when I can focus better but I would love to see this implemented. What about crowd funding or offering to have those of us who can afford it help fund it and live somewhere on the property while helping to run the facility for others to come and experience the challenge?
Now that I read the article I feel foolish for my comment. lol I was thinking a bit more like an intentional community on larger acreage having a retreat sort of theme like "Detach & Detox".
I didn't realize you were thinking THAT decentralized but I do "get it" and agree that a larger operation paints an obvious target. I get censored and pulled off of craigslist for mentioning EMF sensitivity in trying to get others together. smh
I want to congratulate you on your blog and other blogs, especially your insights regarding harmonizers. I live in Australia, am EHS and a Building Biologist. I had a similar idea but couldn't find enough people to follow my lead to build a safe community. Instead we purchased 20 acres in the Hills around the Dandenong Ranges East of Melbourne and we live in part of a shed that's been made safe for me. Keith I would love if you could contact me via email because I'm writing a book to expose what EHS people have to deal with and why we need a better education (and much more than that). I would like to put a link to your posts on Substack in my book. You write terrific articles and I'd like more people to read them. My email is cheryl@maci-group.com.au. Thanks in advance.
Dr. William Rea used provocation at the Center for Environmental Health in Dallas to prove cause and effect of sensitivity to frequencies. (The first step before testing was to make sure that people were at their healthy baseline.) One simple way that he determined the stress response of the autonomic nervous system was via the reaction of the pupils of the eyes.

Thank you Patricia. I'm not at all a fan of provocation studies personally. I much prefer elimination. Here's a most wonderful example of what can happen with elimination: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2075097/episodes/13068009

Sure, but only the first two paragraphs. Then I have to get it sent to a cell phone. (or sign up to be a paid subscriber, perhaps)

There are so many different ways this concept can be implemented!
I would love to live in a place like that!

Yes it would be great!

Yes, the only downsides, apart from availability (special order), are messy cutting and inability to bend.

Thank you again for this amazing article
If you like, I can help you formulate a plan of action through some 1-1 coaching.
That would be fantastic how can we connect
