I have occasional conversations with a woman who has moved house three times because of radio waves entering her brain at each location and making her ill. She has metallic mesh over all the windows. Her latest house had a redundant VHF FM aerial with no downlead which she spotted and decided was the reason she felt ill whenever she went near the TV set. The FM aerial was removed and the symptoms she felt were greatly reduced. She has bought a variety of RF meters (mostly from the USA) which give 'confusing' results. Last year her dog developed a small cancerous lump which was, she felt sure, caused by the cellphone tower that she could see from the bedroom window.
Today I made a discovery that I think will help her and other sufferers. In Range I found a roll of aluminium cooking foil. It was 75m long by
450mm wide, and was the thick stuff that is quite strong. The price was £6.79, which is 9p per metre. It was labelled 'catering quality'. At home I discovered that this product is exactly the same as a product branded 'Bacofoil, which is sold in 6.5m rolls ('5m plus 1.5m 'free'') at £2.49. That's 38p per metre. When I say 'exactly the same' the two products are made in the same factory and have the same reference number on the little tag that keeps the roll from unrolling. The thickness appears to be exactly the same. The only difference is, the Bacofoil branded roll has a faint criss-cross pattern embossed on it. How this makes it a better product I don't know.The woman who rings me from time to time will be delighted with this news, since she uses a massive amount of cooking foil, not least to wrap around her head and line her bra. The dog's basket apparently also looks very swish with its silver paper covering.
