No one gets it more wrong when it comes to EMF radiation than high end hotels… one time I’ve seen them place a wifi router right under my king-sized bed.
In this practical demonstration, I’ll show you exactly how to easily minimize your EMF exposure in hotel rooms, and get the most restorative sleep possible while you’re traveling.
Schedule Update: This will be the last episode of Smarter Tech for 2021 and for Season 2. Nick will be taking a short break for the holidays and will be back with Season 3 starting in mid January, 2022. Stay Tuned!

I watched this video last night and I have to say your How-To has some seriously glaring flaws Mr. Pinealt. Some issues off the top of my head are:
1) When you plugged in the DE filters, how did you know what circuit buses you were plugging into? If you place both of those filters on the same bus instead of one on each bus, you can unbalance the electrical system and lose some of the effectiveness of your filters. That doesn’t even bring up how the limited range of harmonics treated by DE filters (like stetzer and greenwave) is questionably useful or how the DE filters themselves introduce harmonics that were not present before – and you put these new harmonic sources in your bedroom.
2) You did not put enough work into your WiFi extension cable. Did you check your USB extension cable to make sure it isn’t radiating WiFi frequencies? I bet you didn’t, and neither did I until one day I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out where a radiation leak was coming from, so if the USB extension is unshielded then you unintentionally coiled a ten foot WiFi radiator around yourself. The more appropriate solution would be to use a USB WiFi adapter that that is fully covered in conductive foil tape and features a removable antenna so you can add your own antenna with a long cable (my antenna uses a ten foot cable). Maybe place a grounded metal shield between you and the antenna, and I always make sure my WiFi antenna and the WiFi router are within line-of-sight of one another.
3) Combination meters like the ESI24 are infamous for various issues, usually accuracy. These meters will often lure consumers because of their dubious claims of a wide frequency detection range. A small kit of meters each dedicated to one task would likely be much more reliable. For reference, here’s is 9CI’s pulse testing of the ESI24 showing that it is not the most reliable RF detector: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h41zMAWeMrM
4A) A good portion of the mitigations you put into action could be accomplished much more easily by simply wearing shielding clothing. While a significant investment, an effective and reliable set of faraday clothing would knock out most of your RF concerns including the possible USB WiFi radiator you accidentally set up around yourself. My chosen shielding material is Staticot because it is durable and machine-washable, I have a long-sleeve hoodie and pajama-style pants that I wear under regular clothing.
4B) In absence of shielded clothing a small grounded “EMF tent” may be employed, although the tent you buy or build is up to you and you take the risk of exposing yourself to any harmful frequencies present on the grounding of the electrical system.
I am not trying to “bash you” or anything Mr. Pineault, after all we are dealing with quite complex issues so it is very easy for you, or I, or anyone to overlook significant details.
Hi Russell, thanks for your feedback.
1) Dirty electricity filters are extremely limited in their efficacy, I’ll give you that. It’s arguable that sensitive people should go off “how they feel” after installing these, rather than by what a meter says. I tend to think that using dirty electricity filters may reduce the overall EMF load in environments where you stay for a few days, but of course if you see readings going up you should avoid using them.
The filters are definitely not the #1 tool to bring when you travel, but I still consider that in most situations they offer more benefits than harm.
2) Your suggestion is good, and would take this strategy one step further. I’d argue that using a USB extension that is unshielded will lead to a dramatic reduction of overall EMF exposure compared to using WiFi on a computer.
3) I agree 100%. Multiple meters is a better choice. The reality is that most people aren’t even willing to invest money in a single meter. That’s why I consider a combination meter useful for starters.
4A) I’m still unsure about shielded clothing, after talking with EMF mitigation specialists, scientists, engineers, and many other experts. They seem to create a paradoxical reaction in some people, while they seem to work great for others. Many holistic doctors rely on these clothes for their patients, though.
4B) The Silvershield tent by Mercola seems like a great option. If you plug it into an outlet you could expose yourself to the dirty ground, but even in those situations I’d argue that the overall EMF load would be way smaller since the tent offers a dramatic reduction in the RF range.
I’m well aware of how complex EMF mitigation is, and explaining it in simpler terms, while keeping a video short, is very difficult.
In most situations I choose not to go into extremely complicated details which would only confuse the average listener.
Keeping the balance between simplicity and precision is difficult, and I do appreciate your feedback which will help me further improve my content.

1) Fair enough.
2) True that an unshielded USB cable still offers a reduction, but that cable is still putting out several mW/m^2 at least mine is according to my RF meter.
3) Fair enough.
4A) I have heard this as well and my thinking leads to the conductivity of the material used and/or if your body is insulated from the suit. I have two faraday suits myself, the first is an old 1980’s Soviet military RF suit and the second is a custom suit made of Staticot. The old Soviet suit was not conductive to the touch and unable to be grounded while the Staticot suit is very conductive and groundable. I work in an area with half a dozen cell towers and typical RF readings are anywhere from 10mW/m^2 to 100mW/m^2, and without an RF suit I get intense bone pain. The pain stopped once I adopted the old Soviet RF suit, and while I was quite happy to later upgrade to the much lighter Staticot suit I noticed there was a distinct difference in how the two suits “feel”. One fellow I talked to ages ago said the body must be insulated from the faraday material otherwise magnetic fields will form in the body because of eddy currents, or something like that.
I’ve also read from multiple sources that shielding clothing can often lead to failure if it is not a complete covering because if you are in a high enough exposure area (like me) then the shielding will be overloaded and become a radiating antenna in itself – similar to how those phone faraday privacy pouches can fail when too close to a cell tower.
4B) Fair enough, though I would look out for plasma TVs. A grounded plasma TV can easily convert the ground connection into an intense source of dirty electricity exposure as I accidentally found with an AM radio. I determined that a combination of “grounding myself” with the ground connection of an outlet when a grounded plasma TV was also plugged in made me sicker than before.
I understand your approach and audience, and I do appreciate your work. Best of luck to you sir.
I stayed in a room near EMF tower on top of Best Western hotel in San Juan Capistrano. I complained to the manager because I could measure the EMFs inside my room.
Hi Russel,
Regarding the test of the esi 24 you linked. Did you know that 9CI (the video you linked) does work for the Safe and Sound? So they tested a competition meter (and btw. the esi 24 does much more and has a significantly lower price tag) and you link that as “evidence.” Just saying…
Tests like that usually have a designated winner, and testing RF meters is not exactly easy – even when you want to do it right. I know, because I am in the business. Most labs simply turn you down when you want them to test meters. Too much trouble, no set standard test procedures to follow, too expensive, and still of limited practical use.
Show me a meter that does as much as the CEMprotec 34 / esi 24 for that amount of money, I will be happy to look at it.
Thanks for your insights, Bernhard!
In the end my work always revolves around meters that are obviously not made for professionals, but that can provide “good enough” readings and functionalities for the layperson.
Nick
Yes I did know that 9CI made the Safe and Sound, they specifically said they made it to address the issues prevalent in various consumer-grade meters such as the infamous TriField. That’s not hidden or anything, 9CI is very open about and proud of their Safe and Sound RF meter.
Your challenge of “Show me a meter that does as much as the CEMprotec 34 / esi 24 for that amount of money, I will be happy to look at it.” was wonderful bravado that gave me a chuckle. I’m not made of money, but even I was able to afford my kit of EMF stuff. I have a digital multimeter (cost $60) which I could rig for AC electric field readings. My simple Gauss Master for AC magnetic fields (cost $35). For RF readings is the mentioned Safe and Sound Pro (cost $400). So $500 does seem like a lot at first glance making the Cemptrotec or ESI look attractive, but you can substitute the SaS Pro model for the cheaper Classic model (cost $150) and *POOF* your total cost is $250 – less than a Cemprotec or ESI*! Now with the money saved go buy your favorite brand of vitamins, supplements, etc.
Don’t shop cheap, shop smart and the savings will follow!
