Question from Sue
I read through the recommendations for space heaters on this site. I did further research, and though the suggestions are low-offgassing, they are not low-emf. I have severe electrical sensitivities (as well as severe chemical sensitivities). I had a Lakewood oil-filled radiator heater with 2 prongs which died, and then I found a Lakewood oil-filled radiator with 3 prongs on the cord, and it was much more emf-safe for me (than the 2-prong one). I bought them both USED, so they were off-gassed. The 3-prong one just died. I have been unable to find a 3-prong replacement by any brand. I am willing to try any type of space heater, as long as it is both low-emf and low-offgassing.
Lisa’s Answer
Readers, any suggestions?
I have a Delonghi 9707 Oil-Filled Radiator Heater, and it has 3 prongs. I got it second hand as well, so no off-gassing. the EMFs are not bad to me and i am quite ES. my old Trifield 100xe drops down to negligible on both MFs and EFs at about 1 foot away.
Yes, her problems are real.
You might talk to someone at Ashley’s Green Products about “Mystical”.
I put this in my wash and it takes the smells and chemicals away. Prior to that in
decades past I would wash my clothes as many as 80 times, in different soaking
substances, to try to get the smells and chemicals, and still I had to throw some
clothes away. Maybe I’m better, some, now, but Mystical does work and help.
I might suggest that you soak/wash your jeans, at least what you will be wearing around your daughter, in the Mystical. My infectious disease specialist says it is an immune problem. My tests show that I am immunodeficient, no Natural Killer cells, etc.
my daughter 40 has severe chemicals sensitivities. ex. soap shampoo Steel aluminum fiberglass vinegar baking soda Also for the past couple of years she keeps telling me she’s picking up metal tastes. and her skin will burn. Sometimes She throws her clothes away because she says they can’t be cleaned she says. she smells strong odors on my jeans I buy from the big box stores and even Kohls Is this real or is she imaging this? Where can she find help?
There are many people who use this site who suffer from MCS, multiple chemical sensitivity. Readers, any recommendations on how to find help?
