A Commentary on EMF Protection/Shielding Products

One of the most frequently asked questions is, “What do you think of this EMF product I just purchased?” We have had clients come out from their closets with shopping bags filled with EMF shielding devices, clothing, pads, mats, plug-ins, patches, stickers, stones, crystals, rings, and more. They would say that the reason these products were kept in the closet was that none presented a positive effect once the initial excitement and optimism of the purchases wore off. Many of these had actually made these clients feel ill.

The placebo effect is proven to be near 50%. Snake-oil salesmen have known this for a long time, and that's why they would offer a money-back guarantee! They would play the percentages. How many will take the time and effort to return a product once they realize it’s not really working, two months later, or that it is actually making them feel ill? Very few.

We have tested most EMF shielding, blocking, and protection products on the market, or products resembling them. The results have, for the most part, been very disappointing. People are getting taken advantage of every day.

It is head-scratching that so many folks can be reckless with their hard-earned money, spending it on EMF products based on Amazon reviews or the company’s pseudo-scientific explanations, but then, become too cheap to pay for their home to be properly assessed. In the end, if they had hired a qualified company, they would have saved a lot of money, identified which EMF issues were actually in their home, and received a cogent, practical remediation plan. 

Recently, I had a client ask me what I thought of a new-age EMF shielding product. I did not see how this could be effective. It made no sense. She told me the salesman told her my meters couldn't measure the device's results. Interesting?!

The type of electromagnetism we deal with is not metaphysical. It is a by-product of emissions from human-engineered AC and DC power.
