Do EMF-shielding Devices Really Work?
This is the most coherent explanation I've ever read about the efficacy of EMF-shielding devices (Schumann Resonance devices) on the human biological field. Vicki Warren writes, "In theory it sounds good, but here is the problem. "The biological response of the body is to EMF that are both spatially (same shape and size) coherent and temporally (same frequency) coherent. This is necessary for the vibratory receptors on the cell membrane to go into resonance and start the whole cascading effect from the membrane sensitivity syndrome (cell membrane becomes impermeable)."In nature, there exists EMF from a variety of sources, one being the Schumann Resonance; however, in nature none of the fields are both spatially and temporally coherent, they are either one or the other. Without both, the cell membrane receptors will not behave like tuning forks and will not go into resonance, they will simply not respond to the natural sources. 
"However, even if these fields are "huge" as they are by nature without the amplification by devices, the presence of these manmade coherent signals will have a biological impact. These signals will actually travel on the natural earth's energies--and the body will demodulate the signals, and there will still be the impact at the cellular level. "However, having said that--one of the other issues in the EMF spectrum to which there are biological responses that is not manmade is the presence of anomalies in the earth's natural magnetic fields due to the presence of metal in a built environment, ore caverns, subterranean rivers, etc. "For those sleeping in these anomalies, there can be adverse health effects. For that problem, the devices you mention have merit. In addition, there is some research that supports the concept that our earth's natural magnetic field strength is decreasing--due to natural pole reversal or perhaps man's interference--and in those cases the devices you mention would have merit.
"Thus, in summary--these devices will not block or shield from the manmade signals from the power company, communications industry, etc.; however, they have been shown to have beneficial results to overcome natural magnetic anomalies and reduction in the earth's magnetic field. "In Building Biology we are concerned equally about OVER exposure to manmade electro pollutants and UNDER exposure to the natural magnetics. These devices can help with the latter, but not the former."
[The Teslar chip emits a frequency of 7.83 Hertz, known as the Schumann Resonance, the frequency at which the earth's magnetosphere resonates.]
"The tiny magnetic chip, the Tesla chip, has been known to provide some relief; however, it is an external dependency. You might consider methods of tapping into your own body's healing energy for balance to do the same thing without introducing the magnetic field to soothe the intercellular gap junction communication.
As for being grounded at night while sleeping--excellent idea--however, be aware that if you use this device with the electricity on in the wires around your bed, then you are increasing drastically your electric field exposure. The electric fields coming from the wiring in the walls, extension cords, and outlets is looking for the closest ground, which is you. There is a measurable increase in current through the body when you are grounded. "As Building Biologists, we would suggest that you locate the circuit breaker or fuse that controls the electricity within 6ft of your bed and turn it off at night as well. This in addition to the grounding mat--will provide you the best exposure to natural EMF and the least exposure to manmade EMF.
"Anything but removal or shielding is a hit and miss solution. Some times the body will respond positively to the change in environment from using a device, but over time the body usually adjusts and the symptoms respond. And in very few cases, is the original improvement actually at the cellular level.
"Remember--there are 3 steps to dealing with this:
1. Primary is to remove the exposure 2. is to treat the symptoms, which is what many of the devices and treatments do and are application and individual specific 3. to restore the body to its natural state, which is what supplements are for. "All 3 are necessary for health--but just doing one doesn't mean the others aren't necessary and you must plan to incorporate all three."
