Health consequences of L/S and Inverter usage

[Modina]

I would be interested to hear of any positive and negative health consequences of load shedding and the use of inverters.  Either personally experienced or anecdotal reports. 

For instance, your elderly mom might be staying in a retirement home or in a flat where the majority of people would not be able to afford inverters.  4 hours of load shedding should substantially reduce EMF, dirty electricity (high frequency switching noise), WiFi signals and even cell-tower radiation.  So the old lady might have mentioned that she feels "better" during/after L/S.  Most of us cannot perceive these various radiation effects, but there are certainly people that can.  A tendency of getting headaches, migraines, fogginess, sleep deprivation,  tinnitus and even blood glucose level changes could all be triggered by EMFs.  You might just have never realised the link.  You likely shrugged of your mom or dad for mentioning this, rolled your eyes and mumbled something about them being old and imagining things...

Many of us have to deal with inverter fan noise or worse, some SunSynk owners hear 15KHz whistles.  But it doesn't stop there.  Inverters are exceptionally high current switching devices that can radiate EMFs via the mains and other cabling where this acts like a large aerial throughout the house.  Yes, inverters have filters, but these are not brick-walls, they are attenuators.  A lot of noise can still escape.  So it is quite likely that some people that use inverters feel "worse" during load shedding.  Not all inverters will be equally bad and wiring "errors" could have a major negative effect as well.

I have been interested in this field for the last 10 years and have been reading the literature of EHS & MCS (Electromagnetic HyperSensitivity and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity) for quite a while.  I have even invested in some (basic) test equipment for measuring RF, E & H-fields.  It is a very controversial subject, as always, suppressed by big industry that wants you to think that all this is totally harmless.

Some people in SA offer measurement services to quantify the severity of radiation but I am not aware of anyone (locally) offering mitigation advice and services.  It is a complex field due to the many different forms of radiation, each requiring different techniques.  It can also be very costly to mitigate EMFs.

For people who don't know how debilitating EHS & MCS can be, I suggest reading this very short 2 page article about Kim Palmer:

My health and quality of life has generally improved drastically since going on to full solar with a decent inverter
Headaches have also totally gone away as I no longer have stress due to darkness syndrome.

I use a cellphone ( like almost all of us ) so seriously not concerned about any extra emf radiation from my solar setup, I am sure my phone pumps enough crap into my brain already.

Nah I dont care about those things which arent proven anyway.

This thread:

Even though there is no proof that cells are affected by a thing,people's health must be affected by a thing because "reasons"

My health has improved as I don't suffer the frustration and anger any more  that comes with this load shedding  .

My silent clean inverter is some distance away in the garage so even if there is any EMF, distance +  walls will reduce that to near zero.

My neighbor has a diesel generator and the noise and PM2.4 is more of a concern to me.

The anger and high blood pressure at load shedding has gone to zero since getting my solar pv system.

May be the EMF is a danger for us. 

When I drive in traffic in my car the ECU emmits radiation that is trapped inside the car and I feel miserable. 

When I'm on my bike and zip past cars during LS and robots not working the EMF escapes past my head and I feel GOOD!!!
