WiFi Radiation – How To Protect Yourself
Do you need to protect yourself from WiFi radiation?
I guess the first question that needs to be answered is ‘what is WiFi radiation?’ Which leads to the question ‘is WiFi safe?’
Because if you’re not clear about these questions it’s pointless talking about WiFi radiation protection.
What Is WiFi Radiation?
WiFi devices emit radio-frequency radiation, otherwise known as microwave radiation. Most wireless routers and similar wireless devices emit a field of wireless radiation 24/7.
This microwave radiation is exactly the same kind of radiation that microwave ovens use to cook food.
Basically a microwave oven bombards your food with microwave
radiation. This creates molecular friction which heats up the food. It’s
known as ‘the heating effect’ or ‘the thermal effect’.
WiFi devices like wireless modem routers and wireless computers
contain transmitters that use this microwave radiation to send
information back and forth in the air.
Luis Hernan, a student at Newcastle University in the UK, has
produced a series of photographs using an Arduino based Kirlian device
that can show the strength of wireless signals according to color.
Is WiFi Safe?
Independent research links WiFi radiation to a long list of adverse biological effects, including:- increased blood brain barrier permeability
- disruption to brain glucose metabolism
- DNA chain breaks
- generation of stress proteins
- disruption of cell metabolism
In other studies, it is reported that WiFi radiation commonly causes
such symptoms as fatigue, irritability, constant daily headaches and
digestive disorders. And long-term exposure to radiation has been linked
with many serious diseases including brain tumors.
The whole controversy surrounding the safety of these exposures revolves around this heating effect.
On the one side there is the telecom industry and other vested interests.
They say that because there is no observable thermal effect (no heating
effect), with WiFi and similar devices that these technologies are
safe.
On the other side there are now thousands of peer reviewed
studies conducted by scientists from around the world that show WiFi
radiation to be potentially extremely harmful. Not to mention extensive anecdotal evidence – this website alone is littered with thousands of testimonials from people that have experienced severe adverse health symptoms from these exposures.
The World Health Organization has classified WiFi radiation type exposures as a ‘possible Class 2B carcinogen’.
What Are The Benefits To Protecting Yourself From WiFi?
People report these immediate benefits to eliminating/significantly reducing the wireless exposures in their environment:- improved sleep
- having more energy
- head feels better/clearer
- room feels cooler
- skin feels less prickly
- no longer has metallic taste in the mouth
- feeling more relaxed
WiFi Radiation Protection Tips
There are some simple steps you can take to limit your exposure to
WiFi router radiation. In this article I explain what they are.
1. Buy A JRS Eco-WiFi Router
Why? Because it offers a radically safer alternative to standard WiFi.The JRS Eco-WiFi router is actually a package. It’s composed of:
- An Asus router
- JRS Eco-Wifi software
It’s the JRS software that gives the Asus router it’s unique low EMF
functionality. You see, classic or standard WiFi operates at 10 pulses
per second where as JRS-Eco WiFi operates at 1 pulse per second. This
10x reduced pulse interval translates to a 90% reduction in WiFi
radiation when the router is on stand-by. To see exactly what I mean,
watch this video.
The other reason to invest in a JRS Eco-WiFi Router is that it offers
the same performance as regular WiFi. You get the same download speeds,
the same data transmission capacity… the same performance but JRS-Eco
WiFi is a LOT safer than regular WiFi.
The ideal set-up is the JRS Eco-WiFi Router and some good quality shielded Ethernet cable.

2. Use The Right Ethernet Cable
Your Ethernet cable is the cable that links your modem/router to your PC. It provides you with a hardwired internet connection.
Most people don’t give this cable a second thought. They use the cable which comes with the modem/router. Mistake.
This Ethernet cable can be a source of RF radiation and so needs to be shielded. There are lots of different qualities of cable category 5, 6, 7 etc. I recommend buying at least Cat 6a SSTP (screened shielded twisted pair) Ethernet cable. Maybe the cable that came with your modem/router is Cat 6a SSTP. In that case you’re OK. If in doubt change it.
3. Disable Wireless Function On ALL Your Devices
You’ve disabled the wireless on the modem/router but you must
also disable the wireless on your on your computer (desktop, laptop,
iPod Touche, iPad, tablet) AND also printers, projectors and anything
else that might have Wi-Fi capability. Again a lot of people overlook this. Look for software options on these devices to do this.
Lower Wi-Fi power intensity is now an option on certain wireless
set-ups. Look carefully what the software allows you to do. And keep
your eye on it once you’ve changed the settings to make sure the default
settings don’t come back on again.
If you’re unable to disable Wifi via the software you may be able to
have the WiFi module physically removed (requires some electrical
knowledge).
4. Swap Wireless For Wired
Replace your wireless keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner and whatever else you have that is wireless with USB wired versions. Solutions now exist even to connect devices such as iPads, which are not designed to be hardwired, to the Internet via a USB Ethernet adapter as shown in this video:To implement the solution shown in the above video you will need:
5. Neighbors WiFi
Legally there is nothing you can do to oblige your neighbors to remove their WiFi so you need to have a softly softly approach.
Go and see them, have a friendly chat. Ideally take an RF meter with
you, show them the radiation levels they are exposing both you and
themselves to. Take some print outs of some of the studies that have
been done on the dangers of radio frequency radiation.
If they are unsympathetic EMF shielding should be considered only as a
last resort measure. An effective WiFi radiation shield may well
involve shielding several rooms – this is no small undertaking.
Reduce Your Exposure To WiFi Radiation Without Eliminating It
I know that some people can’t quite bring themselves to surrender
their wireless devices so here are some tips on minimizing WiFi without
eliminating WiFi.
1. Keep your distance
WiFi radiation exposures drop off significantly with distance (called
the inverse square law). Many routers have a strong enough signal to
maintain a connection up to 100m from the router. Make sure you put as
much distance between you and your wireless router as you can without
diminishing the efficiency of your connection. Remember: walls don’t
stop wireless radiation, never situate a wireless router behind a
bedroom wall.
2. Switch off at Night
Studies tell us that the biggest danger with WiFi radiation comes from nighttime exposures; cellular
regeneration,
rejuvenation, and detoxification is impeded. Notably melatonin
production can be significantly reduced. If you really can’t bring
yourself to remove your wireless router you can install a simple mechanical electrical timer (see attached image) on the socket where you plug your router in. Then just set it to turn the power off during sleep time.
I also recommend combining the mechanical timer with a multi-outlet
power strip, sometimes called a surge protection unit. First you plug
all your computer devices, , laptop/desktop, printer, monitor into your
power strip. Then you plug the power strip into your mechanical timer
which you then plug into the wall.
This
means that when you set your timer to switch off from 10 pm to 6 pm,
for instance, that it switches EVERYTHING off that’s plugged into your
power strip. There are two advantages here, besides saving money on your
utility bill, you also eliminate any EMF emissions that these
appliances are producing.
My recommendation is to use a power strip
that has surge arrest which will also ensure your equipment is
protected from over-voltages (i.e. lightening strikes) and that it’s
grounded.
3. Use USB Adaptors Wisely
If you use a USB Wi-Fi adapter (for PCs that don’t have a built in
wireless network interface card) use it on a USB extension cable (10
feet or more). The same goes if you use a 3G or 4G USB internet stick,
or dongle, to connect to the Internet while you’re traveling. A USB
extension cable will significantly reduce your exposure. Tip: the
further the USB internet stick is from you when you’re surfing the Web,
the less you will be exposed. Buy a USB extension that’s a good 10 to 15 feet long.
Is Powerline Networking The Solution?
This goes under various names ‘powerline networking’,’broadband over
power lines’ (BPL) or ‘Powerline Ethernet’. Whichever name is used the
principle is the same, special adapters are used to send the Internet
signal through your home or office wiring. What does this mean? It means
you don’t need to have WiFi BUT these adapters do introduce radio
frequency signals (RF radiation) on to your house wiring.
Combining RF radiation with power line frequency electrics is known to give rise to the phenomenon of ‘dirty electricity’. There are many health issues associated with dirty electricity. For this reason I do not recommend BPL as a safe alternative to WiFi.
Are Harmonizers And Neutralizers The Solution?
There all sorts of energy devices on the market which claim to
harmonize and/or neutralize WiFi radiation. I do not believe that you
should rely on these devices to form the basis of your approach to EMF
protection. And I’m not alone. Over the years I have spoken to dozens of
scientists, electrical engineers, researchers and EMF experts about
this.
On this question professional engineer and Building Biologist Michael Schwaebe says, “when
we choose to have an energy device to remedy something we know that’s
wrong with us, what happens is that we often delay taking a proactive
move to mitigate our exposure so our exposure continues and ultimately
the biology is affected at some point.”
The dangers of WiFi are real. Use the above tips to mitigate your exposure to WiFi radiation.
Of course there is no cast iron guarantee that if you do reduce your
exposure you won’t suffer any of the adverse effects associated with
WiFi because unfortunately most people can’t feel these adverse effects,
they just fall ill. What’s worse is they never make the link between
these exposures and their illness.
