Hi J and G :),

I've been noticing a little more fatigue/tiredness than a week ago after getting this used 2005 Toyota Prius - enough to look up some articles (which I'm sharing below). I'm curious if you have any similar anecdotal experiences after getting yours, G?

That said, I did feel a lot of similar fatigue in my Subaru Legacy a month or so ago, - but perhaps not quite as strongly.

The articles say that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are significantly measurable with Priuses, but beyond a possible link to childhood leukemia, there isn't any evidence of harm for these heightened EMFs ... and now 7 years after many of these articles were written, and Priuses are possibly around 15 years' old ... I may learn to live with the extra fatigue from EMFs but we'll see ... swimming in EMFs ... hmmm ...

The first NYTs 2008 article speaks to me the most vis-a-vis sleepiness and selling their's after 6 months ... possibly ... but the effects of high levels of EMFs (over 3 mG (milliGaus) ) are again not proven to be deleterious ...

G, have you felt anything from EMFs or know anything further?


I camped outside at Harbin Hot Springs last night for the first time in years because I don't really like the feeling of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) - they're kind of draining ... and feeling vis-a-vis Angela and Victor's yoga is something I'm exploring.

But I'm glad to get about 44 miles per gallon, possibly double what I was getting before. And it's reducing CO2 output, vis-a-vis global warming, a lot as well - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Ocean_%26_Climate_Management_Plan.

I may have to do more movement and Yoga {a kind of all-bodymind movement} as a response, as well as eat lots of leafy greens.

Cheers,

Scott
