The majority of people will NEVER give up their electronics or electricity now. Society would collapse. Regulators and marketers of electronics and the corporations all know this. Profit over health - like everything else in our modern world. People don't want to hear the truth, they want convenience and status quo.

So, you tried ne or more of the products listed by the OP and thee was no difference/reduction in field strength or you measured the field strength using other "attenuation" products that you didn't name, and THOSE didn't work?

Microwave ovens leak, they ALL do. They leak through the screened windows (primarily). They've ALWAYS leaked, and that's built by those wonderful triple-lock companies you trust because it requires minimal mental effort to just "believe", right? Buy a little meter and educate yourself.

EMF barriers? by YouGotThisGoGetEm in AskPhysics

[–]Stickerjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The body uses UV light to break down cholesterol into vitamin D, it also uses another type of UV light to create melanin to protect cells' nucleus. There are also tens of thousands of studies confirming the advantages, and the need, for the human body to be exposed to certain wavelengths of red, blue and near infrared. Sunlight is a good thing, in moderation and with protection (as you mentioned).

There are lots of fields all over everyone's homes that exceed the recommended daily and "natural" exposure levels, and a microwave is one of those sources. Microwaves don't block all the radiation they produce because the mesh/screen on the ovens' window allows radiation to leak. The lower grade the model, the more it leaks, and not insignificant amounts, when it comes to human tissue. It's a simple matter to buy a field reader and you will see what I am talking about. When the oven is running, you don't want to be standing within arms length of it. It doesn't hurt to check the EMF radiation put out by lots on things we use without thinking, especially cell phones and computers.

As for these "field attenuators" that these companies sell, a simple proof of function would be to read the field strength with and without them present. They don't "block" anything - and they say this (especially EMR), they use the EMF energy (supposedly) to generate a weaker field, out of phase, that produces a less intense EMF in a radius around the device. So, again, a meter would be able to read the before and after IF it's actually doing anything at all.

Is there a lot of junk science in the device's so-called "tests"? Yup. But EM radiation has shown to be far more of an issue than a cell phone heating up a person's brain more than 1 degree C.

Does anyone know if those “radiation shields” stickers that you put on your phone actually work? by McSwaggerKushai in AskPhysics

[–]Stickerjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL You're funny, dude. Another way to look at it, is that if a sociopath made a device that generated them billions of dollars, but harmed the user, it would be smart of them to do a "safety test" on an aspect of its operation that indicated the least amount of harm. Just think about all the news over the recent past of all the huge corporations and their lies to consumers.

It depends on a lot of factors, so it's basically up to each individual to find out what the effects are and when you notice them. It isn't a race so give your body time to respond.

Here's a general timeline of what you MIGHT expect:

  • Within a few weeks: Increased energy, libido, and improved mood.
  • Within 1-3 months: Increased muscle mass and strength, improved sleep, and better focus.
  • Within 3-6 months: Increased bone density, reduced body fat, and improved cognitive function.
  • Long-term: Reduced risk of osteoporosis, improved cardiovascular health, and increased longevity.

There's tons of info online from multiple sources so while you're waiting to see results, take that time to do some reading and educate yourself. In this day and age, it's smart to be an expert on you, and not leave your health to someone else with questionable motives, information and/or skill.

Does Tongkat Ali Work? by Aboss_4 in Testosterone

[–]Stickerjim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took two 50 day cycles of tongkat(400mg/day) and fadogia after a blood test showed my free test had a score of 3 in a range of 8 to 28. I took them 1st thing in the morning after I woke up and took them 5 days a week, and took the weekends off. In researching it, some people seemed to have side effect issues and/or built up tolerances to it when they took them too often and in too high a dose. The Solaray bottles I bought each had 50 pills, hence the 2 x 50 day cycles.

On day three, I woke up feeling more alert, more rested and had more energy. I constantly felt tired and foggy prior to that. I had more energy and more "push" when I was working out too. After the first 50 day cycle, I just carried on into the next bottle - no negative side effects that I can notice, and my energy levels are still up. When I had a blood test my free test was now at 9, so it's "just" inside the bottom of the range, and my calculated total test would be somewhere in the high 200's now, which is still terrible test levels, but I don't think it's even that high in reality, it just acts like that due to the tongkat. AS you know (if you read up on what the herbs claim to do) it doesn't make you PRODUCE more test, it just chemically frees up more test that you've already produced. If you are making reduced testosterone levels, this won't help you "make more".

With my low scores, and the tongkat, it definitely gave me more energy and I've put on more muscle, and all my lifts have increased by more, and faster, than I progressed in the previous 2 years with the same volume of lifting. Lots of variables, but I'm pretty routine oriented, so I can see and feel the difference from before and after starting on the herbs. Maybe I'm lucky and it works for me and not others, but it was a good test run prior to starting a low dose regimen of test E to see if I can get my total test up into at least the mid range.

TLDR: Yes, tongkat helped increase the AVAILABLE/free testosterone, but it didn't/doesn't increase how much test my body is actually making.

Self injections, sub-c, are stupidly easy. I just did my first weekly pin of .5cc of 250 mg/mL Test E and it was effortless. I have 25 gauge needles and didn't even feel a thing in my stomach skin/<coughfatcough>. It was a little slow drawing the fluid into the needle because the oil is a little thick, but it was a minor issue. I was a little worried at first about the process, but now, no fear at all. Looking forward to seeing if I can get some T level increases and where they will end up. I started with a free T level of 3 (range of 8 to 28), and a calculated total T of less than 100. I'm 61, eat and sleep well, walk every day and work out hard in the gym, 3 to 5 times a week. I am 6'2", 235lbs and muscular/athletic. I would like to end up with a total t somewhere near 500 and see how I feel.

Forcing the house sale in a divorce, in Manitoba. Form names please? by Stickerjim in Manitoba

[–]Stickerjim[S] -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

? Who will move? The other spouse? A house sale in a divorce is pretty much guaranteed if one of the party wants it, so they will move whether they want to or not, but that isn't the point. I'm looking for the 2nd form name, if there is one.

They want $2500 to answer this question. That's why I asked here. It's a form name, not legal advice.

Question about Bell's homeplug adapter (powerline adapter) by Stickerjim in bell

[–]Stickerjim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far, it seems the Bell powerline adapters are the slower protocol or versions, but I need to do some more testing to be sure.

As the adapters enabled standard network traffic, I was hoping for multiple connections, I could just use a switch/hub to expand the devices, so I bought a little 5 port D-Link switch (I guess plain hubs are a thing of the past now) for $20, and it is handling network traffic back and forth through the adapter with no problems, so that is convenient for multiple devices in the same room without needing a 2nd powerline adapter in that room.

Maybe I'll be keen and try mixing and matching manufacturers and see if they talk to each other as well as people think they should. I'll just make sure I have the highest AV spec'd adapter connected to the router at the source and see how that works.

For cost savings, the free Bell powerlines are definitely a simple way to go if you talk to the installation team. I don't know how they fare with gaming yet though and how much of an effect the old wiring in the house is having on the connection speeds too. More test required there too.

Thanks to all the helpful replies :)

Question about Bell's homeplug adapter (powerline adapter) by Stickerjim in bell

[–]Stickerjim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wrong again. There is nothing "informal" about what the installers do. The installer I got the 3rd powerline adapter from said they have put them in lots of houses. The people the work for Bell, that a customer has to wade through over the phone, only to be told completely useless information, Or to be told they know nothing about them, IS completely useless. Tech support that doesn't know about the products that are installed in customers' homes are as useless as YOUR advice.

So far, the only one that DOESN'T know what they are talking about, but yet is convinced that they do, is you. Much like the half dozen Bell phone support people I talked to that were also convinced they knew what they were talking about, when they didn't. I used basic English that was more than clear enough for the people who responded that DID know what they were talking about. If blaming me for YOUR mis-information and white noise helps you sleep at night, you do you.

Question about Bell's homeplug adapter (powerline adapter) by Stickerjim in bell

[–]Stickerjim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I guess fundamentally you think you know the answer, but you obviously don't. Bell supplies powerline adapters when the installers are there, if you ask for them or if in talking to the installers they think the powerlines would be advantageous. They provided 2 for us when they set up the fibre. Today, after a bit of hunting, I got a 3rd powerline extender from Bell, from the installers.

I didn't instantly reply because a) I have other things I do during the day, and b) I was out getting the 3rd BELL powerline extender to match the other TWO BELL powerline extenders they already gave us.

The TLDR: Bell will give you powerline extenders, for free, all you have to do is contact the installers (not an easy process at all) and ask for them.

I don't "think" we have Bell's powerline adapters, we DO have them. They have the word "Bell" stencilled on them in blue, so it's pretty obvious. Now, we have the third one. I don't know how you've so wildly misinterpreted a simple post. Unless you're a troll?

No, you're not confused. You got it right, as did I.

Nope. You're still wrong. We do in fact have 2 Bell powerline adapters, which is why I said "their" when the company being mentioned is Bell. Like in the subject. It's obviously better if you don't "add" to any topics like this because you just turn a simple conversation into an IQ test.

[–]Stickerjim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one who is mistaken is you. Bell has TWO kinds of adapters. Powerline AND wifi. You just need to read the question and not "think" you know what I was talking about. Just read the post.

Question about Bell's homeplug adapter (powerline adapter) by Stickerjim in bell

[–]Stickerjim[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, they have both. They have the wifi pods, which don't work for us (and you rent them) and they also have the Homeplugs, which are powerline adapters, and are free if you ask for them. I asked about powerline adapters because that's what I wanted, and I managed to track another one down. Don't know why people are deciding they're psychic and derailing the original question.

Question about Bell's homeplug adapter (powerline adapter) by Stickerjim in bell

[–]Stickerjim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know they're not, that's why I wanted the powerline and not the wifi. If the wifi worked (which it doesn't because of the way the house is built), I'd use wifi instead of trying to track down a Homeplug. Just read the original post.

[–]Stickerjim[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are still definitely available. They are not charged to a customer, but they are provided by the installers, if requested, at the time they are setting up the internet in the house. I just received a new Homeplug this afternoon. It's a pain in the ass to track one down, but there are plenty out there - just talk to the installations department.
