We’re all becoming more and more reliant on technology, and our homes are no exception. Smart meters are becoming increasingly common, promising to make our lives easier by automatically tracking our energy usage. According to a report by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, nearly half of all homes in the United States have a smart meter.
But as with any new technology, there are potential risks involved – both to your home and to your health. Is there anything you can do to keep yourself and your family safe from smart meters? Yes! By making a few simple changes in your home, you can protect yourself from electromagnetic radiation.
You can also purchase products that will help to block or reduce the EMF emissions from smart meters. Orgone Energy offers a wide range of EMF protection products, including orgone blankets, pendants, orgone harmonizers, and more. Browse our selection and find the right product for your needs. In this blog post, we’ll explore some smart meter shielding strategies you can use to protect your home and yourself from potential harm from smart meters.
What are Smart Meters?
Smart meters are meters installed outside of our homes to measure how much gas and electricity we use so our energy companies can bill us accordingly. In the past, hydroelectric companies used analog meters to measure the amount of electricity we used, but now smart meters are being used for a variety of reasons.
- Smart meters are much less expensive for hydroelectric companies to install because they accurately transmit readings to them without having to hire staff to be physically present to read the meters monthly.
- Smart meters can help homeowners save on energy and expenses on their monthly bills, which ultimately saves money.
- Smart meters reduce the number of system-wide electricity failures and blackouts.
How Do Smart Meters Work?
Smart meters work by broadcasting powerful signals that transmit cellular information to cell towers and power lines, allowing utility companies to receive this information in real-time. Therefore, smart meters emit radiation because of their efficiency in transmitting signals to distant cell towers.
Also, smart meters come with a home display. This screen provides utility companies and homeowners with real-time consumption information, including kWh consumption and costs.
Are There Health Risks with Smart Meters?
What makes smart meters problematic and dangerous for our health is that smart meters wirelessly communicate with each other and give off two various types of electromagnetic frequencies. The first relates to radio-frequency electromagnetic waves, and the second relates to low-frequency electromagnetic fields. Radiofrequency electromagnetic waves are emitted by two-way radios, wireless routers, and microwave ovens.
Low-frequency EMFs have a powerful impact on the human body when you are very close to it, as small as only two feet away. Conversely, radio frequencies are fields that can travel a greater distance. If a cell tower is four kilometers away, the waves can still send signals there. Fortunately, RF fields are directional and can be blocked with EMF protective products.
According to the American Cancer Society, smart meters have not yet been adequately studied to determine if they cause health problems. However, radiation studies have shown that exposure to large amounts of RF radiation from radar-related accidents can cause severe burns. Since smart meters give off radiation, this can be considered a serious side effect.
The same study reported by the American Cancer Society raised concern that radiofrequency waves generated by smart meters could interfere with medical devices like pacemakers. Additionally, in 2011, the IARC, which is part of the WHO (World Health Organization), classified radiofrequency radiation as a possible carcinogen, meaning it can cause cancer in humans.
Smart Meter Shielding Strategies to Reduce EMF Radiation Exposure
There are several smart meter shielding options one can choose to protect their home and family from smart meter radiation. Here are some of the smart meter shielding best practices that we recommend.
Use A Protective Fabric
Your bed is where you’ll spend most of the day, so it’s important to protect your bedroom just as well, if not more than other parts of your home. One way to do this is to purchase a protective fabric like our Bamboo Orgone Blankets to cover yourself. This blanket not only looks great but also absorbs and blocks harmful EMF radiation while you sleep. This is very important because at night your body regenerates cells and revitalizes your health. Radiation from smart meters can ruin that plan, causing fatigue and more serious health issues.
Bamboo Orgone Blanket is perfect for keeping you safe from the EMFs given off by a smart meter. Even though it’s at the far end of the house, those EMFs can still travel a great distance to your room. The blanket also protects you from other microwave frequencies and radiation in the house, such as cell phones or Wi-Fi routers. Using this blanket allows you to kill two birds with one stone. This type of blanket can deflect over 90% of the radiofrequency, so you are absolutely safe while sleeping, even if your smart meter is running all night.
Switch To an Analog Meter
Unlike the smart meter, which wirelessly sends real-time information about your electricity or gas consumption, analog meters must be physically read. Eliminating this wireless communication eliminates the emission of radiofrequency radiation. Switching to an analog meter is the rule of thumb to protect against radiation from smart meters.
The process of switching from a smart meter to an analog meter is known as opting out. “Opting out” rules vary from one region to another. Some utility companies charge a fee, while others do it for free. You should check your state’s laws on opting out of smart meters before deciding.
Stay Away from Where Smart Meters Are Installed
Distance is essential to protect yourself from radiation since the exposure decreases considerably as you move away from the source. However, the process of customizing your home based on your distance from the smart meter can take a bit of creativity and planning, but it is worth it.
For example, if the smart meter is installed outside of a bedroom, make sure the head of your bed is not against that wall. Move your bed in the opposite direction. The same strategy applies when placing your sofas in the living room. Couches should not be against the wall where your smart meter is installed.
Invest in an Orgone Generator
If you can’t decide against a smart meter, you can invest in an orgone generator like the Dome Schumann Resonance Orgone Generators or GeoClense EMF and Earth Radiation Harmonizer. Dome Schumann Resonance Orgone Generators are highly protective Orgone generators that are beneficial for neutralizing and harmonizing smart meters and Geopathic stress, as well as other forms of electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetic fields, and electro-pollution.
Adding distance between the EMF source and your body works very well. But you will still be exposed to lower levels of energy which, if they build up over time, can lead to problems. This is where you can use our GeoClense EMF and Earth Radiation Harmonizer as an extra layer of protection.
The Geoclense is a healthy, negative charge resonance field generator designed to balance the noxious, unhealthy positive charge resonance created by your smart meters and all forms of EMR, RF, Wi-Fi, Earth Radiation, and Bioplasmic Radiation.
The Geoclense Orgone Negative Ion Generator consistently generates healthy beneficial Negative ions that work by harmoniously neutralizing your entire property and home all the way to its boundaries, counteracting each one of these destructive energies such as radiation and electromagnetic frequencies.
Strengthen Your Body’s Resistance
Although evolution has not designed our bodies to deal with today’s EMF radiation, an adult human being is resistant to the effects of EMF to some degree. And you can improve that resiliency with good nutrition and regular exercise, says Cathy Cooke, a building biologist and expert in electromagnetic fields. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that all adults between the ages of 18 and 64 get up to 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week.
