A Long Island client suffering from adrenal failure had unusually strong electric fields throughout her home, measured in Volts/meter. This E-Field coupled onto her skin causing her epidermal voltage to average 4,000 millivolts (mV), with peaks near 7,000 mV. (In a Manhattan apartment, normal epidermal voltage ranges from 30-40 mV. In nature, it is zero.) I tested the ground conductors with an electrical engineering monitor and found that there was a huge problem with the grounding system. It most likely very corroded and possibly not even connected. A simple Sperry outlet tester confirmed that there were “open grounds” in every room at the wall outlet receptacles. This meant that either the “pigtails” were not connected (the ground wire to the receptacle), or even worse; that perhaps there was no ground rod connected to the ground conductors. I went outside and confirmed a complete failure of the equipment ground rod, EGC, system. (See photo below.)

In nearly half the homes and businesses we test for EMF, we encounter wiring errors that cause severe to extreme AC Magnetic Fields. Using non-invasive techniques incorporating EMF meters, thermal imagers, wall scanners, and monitors, we can find wiring issues without turning a screw! Yes, we don’t have to open a wall outlet receptacle, take a mains panel off, or anything involving actual electrical work that requires an electrician’s license.

This is the REAL work you should expect from a professional EMF inspection and ELEXANA is the ONLY EMF services company in the New York City Tri-State area that has this training, offers this essential service, and has the partnered electricians to fix these issues.

I went outside to check the ground rod. You can see in this photo that not only is the rod completely rusted, but the ground wire is snipped. We sent Jordan Gilbert, our Long Island electrician, to install a new ground system. Our client’s adrenals …

I went outside to check the ground rod. You can see in this photo that not only is the rod completely rusted, but the ground wire is snipped/severed. Upon our recommendation, a new ground system was installed. Our client’s adrenals were repaired and her energy returned to normal.

How do we do this? Simply, this is accomplished with the skills and knowledge which all those who have passed the Building Biologist® IBE 312 Advanced Electromagnetic Radiation possess. These particular skills were taught in live practical workshops by electrical engineers and master electricians at the IBE 312 in Santa Fe, NM. Unfortunately, there are less than 100 people in America with this training.

How do wiring errors occur? Well, there are quite a few ways. Here are some:

This is the old ground wire. You can see the oxidative corrosion. We not only helped to facilitate our client’s healing process, but we also identified an electrical shock hazard that has been eliminated. This home had many EMF issues which were all…

This is the old ground wire. You can see the oxidative corrosion. We not only helped to facilitate our client’s healing process, but we also identified an electrical shock hazard that has been eliminated. This home had many EMF issues which were all fixed. Now, our client can live at home with peace of mind.

  • If a critter gets into the walls and chews an electrical wire, then the resistance in the wire will change and may not be capable of bearing the voltage load.

  • If a screw that holds down a wire to a connection loosens, then the gap creates a change in the current flow and also effects the resistance.

  • If an electrician does not adhere to National Electric Code because he has not kept up-to-date with new code changes, or he’s in a hurry, then a wiring error can occur. Just because the lights go on does not prove that there’s not a wiring error. Unless we test, a client does not know, for sure, if they had a good electrician or a poor one.

Where there is electromagnetism, there’s heat.

Mitch, Ryan, and Jim have evolved to becoming experts at locating wiring errors.  Wiring errors are not only a potential fire hazard (48% of all fires are caused by these issues) but, they are also a common source of strong electromagnetic fields in the home.

Building a New Home: Why BX Cable is Best for Your Health

BX or MC metal-clad cable

…is better than Romex for your health.

Important Note: Before any new build, it is important to have your property tested for stray ground current and soil resistivity. For BX (metal-clad) wiring to be effective, you need a proper functioning ground system. If you do not have an adequate grounding connection to Earth, then metal-clad wiring will not improve your electromagnetic environment. It may even worsen your environment. So, if you already have metal-clad wiring, be sure to check the amperage and impedance on your ground rod.

The other day, I was consulting for a new home being built in Old Westbury, Long Island, New York. The home was recently framed and paneled, but the electrical was not yet installed.

In an email, the owner asked for some clarity on one recommendation. Here was my email response.

Yes. Yesterday, I mentioned that my dream is to build our family's home someday and install BX cable and fiber-optic light-pipe into the walls.

First, because BX cabling provides a metal-clad covering for the electrical wires and is grounded, your electrical fields can be many times lower than the flux of the electrical fields emitted by unshielded Romex cable.

In NYC, my epidermal voltage at room-center is typically 35 mV. In the suburbs, it ranges from 1500-3500 mV. This difference is significant.

An elevated skin voltage has been proven to stimulate the fight or flight response, causing the adrenal glands to release cortisol, adrenaline, and aldosterone. A persistently elevated skin voltage could cause a variety of issues.

Second, because BX provides a grounded metal sheath over the wiring, RF (radiofrequency or microwave radiation) will not couple onto the electrical wiring. This greatly reduces EMI (electromagnetic interference, A.K.A. dirty electricity) not only on the hot wire, the return neutral wire, but will also help prevent the ground wire from being corrupted. BX cable will not prevent EMI from forming on the hot wire completely because the power companies supply electricity between 200-700 mV of noise or harmonic transients.

Less EMI translates into a better function for all electronic devices, reduces the electric field size, and causes a minimal EMI coupled onto the indoor E and B fields.

The third is obvious: If any critters find themselves in the walls of your home (squirrels, field mice, etc.), they will not be able to bite through electrical cable because it is covered with metal-clad; helping to keep them from being electrocuted inside your walls, and preventing them from causing damage to the wiring which causes increased inductance and a potential fire.

BX cabling costs more to install, and some electricians may belly-ache about using it because it is heavier and slightly more cumbersome to work with, but if I were to build a new home, it would consider it essential.
