The health effects of elevated electric and magnetic fields are most serious in our sleeping environment because our bodies run at a lower frequency at night and during the day we run at a higher frequency range. At night time when our bodies are naturally trying to get quiet, we are in a vulnerable state and are more susceptible to influences of external fields. EMFs may be some of the most significant underlying causes of sleep conditions and health issues in our modern society. Children are particularly susceptible to their influence but all of us are affected even when we are not aware of it.

Thousands of case studies and research from Building Biologist around the world, have proven that after reducing EMFs in the sleeping areas, clients sleep and health conditions were reported as improved and even totally healed. The idea is that if we give the bodies natural, supportive conditions, the body can detoxify, repair, heal, rejuvenate and respond to medical treatments and alternative therapies. Studies have shown that melatonin, a hormone normally produced at night by the pineal gland, is suppressed in the presence of both electrical and magnetic fields. Suppressed melatonin levels can cause chronic fatigue, hyperactivity, headaches, hormone imbalance, depression, and even cancer. It can also prevent the liver from detoxifying at night, worsening chemical sensitivity.

Once the radiations from High Frequency devices such as Wi-Fi and cordless phones are reduced, the influences from electronics, appliances, wiring in the walls in the Low Frequency range may be assessed. This involves checking the AC (alternating current) magnetic fields which are a result of current or moving electricity. The current should only be moving on the circuits as code specifies. Current can be running through circuits in unbalanced ways or on water and gas pipes. This can cause high magnetic field exposures. Sometimes theses magnetic fields from wiring errors in buildings are 10 to100 times higher than standing under high tension power lines.

AC electric fields from building wiring, appliances or electronics plugged into walls are present even when current isn't being drawn. If the wiring is in plastic wires rather that shielded grounded metal cable, electric fields will radiate into the space 6 to 10 feet from each of the wires. Building Biologist have helped thousands by identifying wiring errors that cause high AC magnetic field exposures, as well as identifying circuits that create AC electric fields. By identifying the circuits that create AC electric fields that in-turn conduct voltage on people in there beds, these fields can be eliminated by shutting off the circuits at night. This can be conveniently accomplished with a remote or a wall switch connected to the circuit breaker panel by an electrician. There are a number of options to make this convenient and even still have power to specific outlets. When building or remodeling, this can be addressed into the design to keep exposures to a minimum throughout the entire dwelling.
