Oram Miller, Certified Building Biology Environmental Consultant and Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist, joins Dr. Susanne to share information about EMFs, as well as how you can identify and eliminate them in your home and office environments.

The four types of EMFs are:

60 Hz AC Magnetic Fields from house wiring, wiring errors, current on the grounding system, and overhead power lines.

60 Hz AC Electric Fields from house wiring and plastic AC cords, particularly in sleeping ares.

Radio Frequency EMFs from wireless devices such as cell phones, Wi-Fi, tablets, cordless telephones, and smart meters.

Harmonic frequencies of "Dirty Electricity" from dimmer switches, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), variable speed furnace motors, and other sources.

Tune in to learn how you can protect yourself and your family members from exposure.
