I've explained it several times. I've explained it in the context a
cellphone base 200m away versus a cellphone clamped to one's lughole. Also
in other contexts. It's a waste of time. There's no comprehension
whatsoever, plus an element of, "You might say that but...
"...many things are unknown to science."
"...I have to go on my own experience, not on theory."
"... etc."

Yet she's not stupid. It's as if the parts of her brain concerned with
logical deduction and evidence are missing."


They've probably already been damaged by "those evil rays" :-)


Talking of strange senses, I have a friend whose her fingers are sensitive
enough to feel voltages as low as 5V. She apparently was quite popular at
university with the electronic engineers for her ability to run her fingers
over a PCB and diagnose which tracks had 5V and which didn't. Even with wet
hands to increase the skin conductivity, being able to feel a tingle from as
little as 5V seems remarkable. I tested her and she accurately sorted a pile
of AA 1.5V batteries into fully-charged and flat by holding each between
thumb and forefinger.

She once got a "severe jolt" when she happened to touch something in her car
that was at 12V as she was driving, and had to stop for a while to let her
arms recover before she could drive on. Having this sort of
hyper-sensitivity is no joke, it seems.

Never is a very strong word to use in this context, and it's ********.
Sure, try a bit, but if you're not going to change their mind, so long
as it's not causing too much harm why not let people be a bit crazy?

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.

That's OK for her head, but what about the rest of her body? She
really needs one of these: http://tinyurl.com/p9xruhx, a snip at £161!

Tongue in cheek Maybe we should introduce her to Harry, then. They'd
have a lot in common.


I don't keep any rays out of my house.
I keep infra red rays in.

This was really designed for a more serious purpose, but it works to
reduce radiation as well. I find it very effective.

What surprises me about people like that lady is that they have
absolutely no concept of scientific method yet they are really confident
in their assertions about scientific matters. She's a member of the
Green Party by the way. Let that slip the last time we spoke.

Try touching two terminals with a PD of 6V to two points half an inch
apart on the most sensitive part of your knob end.
