FAQ - General Questions ( and Answers )

AShielding Radiation Shield primarily ensures that all harmful radiation (electrosmog, EMF’s) cannot reach your body. It is also grounded so as not to transmit its own captured voltage to you. This is unique on the market and essential to shield your body perfectly without tension.

Since it is mounted on top of your duvet, and under your own duvet cover, you only touch it sporadically. This is fine because then you experience an extra healing grounding effect for your body, but it is not sufficient to ground yourself continuously. For this you need an earthing sheet or mat (or by using a grounding pillowcase) that you lie on and make good contact with your body.

It is best to ground your body by lying on an earthing sheet or mat (or by using a grounding pillowcase) and thus obtain good contact with your body.

An earthing sheet with silver thread (5%) has enough cotton (95%) as a buffer to protect the silver thread from oxidation by the acids and salts in your perspiration.

The Radiation Shield with 100% silver thread does not have this buffer and is therefore only used on top of your duvet, where it can serve as a shield to keep all known radiation out of your body. It can be perfectly combined with an earthing sheet on which you lie (and/or an earthing pillowcase) for an optimal healing and restorative night's sleep.

Note: You can find more information about grounding your body on our site Aarding.org

A grounded Shielding™ radiation shield ensures that all harmful electrosmog is blocked from your body up to 20 cm around the shield (also partly due to its grounding). Your head is also in this perimeter. For extra protection (and also extra grounding) you can also use a grounding sledge with your radiation shield.

A radiation shield consists of 100% antibacterial silver yarn and is hardly touched directly by the human body as it is placed on top of your duvet and under your own duvet cover. Therefore, it hardly needs to be washed, as the silver thread is self-disinfecting. In fact, washing is not necessary at all unless something happens that stained it.

Then wash it like any normal earthing sheet: at 40°, only with a mild detergent for coloured laundry. Never wash it with white laundry detergent as this contains bleach and makes the silver less protective and non-conductive.

So never use bleaching agents, fabric softeners, anti-limescale agents (Calgonit), natural soap nuts (Sapindus, Green Soap,...). These will attack the silver yarn too.

Preferably do not tumble dry but air dry to prevent faster wear, as with any other sheet. If necessary, you can iron at a lower temperature.

Yes of course. You can easily attach all your shielding and earthing products to 1 socket. You can already connect 2 products to the grounding with the supplied plug adapter that comes with your Radiation Shield.

You can use your own grounded extension box to connect several products. Be aware that you then bring electrical voltage (unnatural alternating current on the cord itself) closer to your bed. To avoid this, we developed a voltage-free and handy distribution box that only connects to the grounding of your socket:

https://shielding.org/products/earthing-distribution-box

For the radiation shield, this junction box is available with a coiled cord, which is more convenient and less likely to tangle than a regular cable:

https://shielding.org/products/smart-connection-kit-for-radiation-shiel

You then use the standard supplied connection cable from your radiation shield to connect the junction box to a grounded socket in your bedroom.

You can easily recognise a grounded socket by the metal strips on the side or the metal pin that protrudes from it. If you don't see any metal, your socket is not grounded.

With thesocket tester you can check if your socket is properly grounded.

You can find it at the following link:

Alternatively, you can always ground through a pipe from your central heating. They are also always grounded via the boiler (by law).

You need an extra cable with alligator clip per earthing product:

/products/crocodile-cable

or for several items you can use the handy distribution box with alligator clip:

/products/alligator-box

Or you can ground directly with the handy grounding pin in the ground under your bedroom window (even 1 or 2 high). The fine discrete cable then goes through the window, which closes perfectly (it follows the profile of your window):

If you want to ground several products (e.g. with 1 or 2 grounded pillow cases) or when you need an extra 5m cable, you can also use a distribution box with a standard pin (with the supplied plug adapter or grounding pin):

/products/earthing-distribution-box

Not a problem if you don't have a standard grounded socket in the room. There are still plenty of 100% working solutions for you to ground yourself perfectly. All super easy to apply, without any technical knowledge.

In short: You can easily use your own grounded extension cord (also to a grounded socket), a grounding pin or a cable with alligator clip on a central heating pipe, which are always grounded via the boiler. The grounding pin, alligator clip and any grounding distribution boxes can be ordered separately.

In more detail:

1. If the distance to a grounded wall socket is greater than 4-5m (the length of the connection cable):

You can easily use astandard grounded extension cord to get closer to a grounded socket. This extension cord must also be in another well-grounded socket, so that contact with the earth is ensured and everything can work optimally for you.

You can also work with our finerextension cable (12m) that you e.g. can attach in the skirting boards, almost invisible.

/products/grounding-extension-cable

An ideal solution is to use our handyvoltage free distribution box with standard pin, so that together you have 2 x 5m cord.

/products/earth-distribution-box

You can then connect up to 4 (and more) earthing products and go to the socket with 1 cable.

The advantage of this distribution box is that it only contains the grounding cable and no electricity. So you don't bring any extra voltage closer to your bed. With a regular extension cord you do so.

2. With the ground pin outside

An excellent solution is to work with thegrounding pin, if you sleep up to 1 or 2 high.

The fine grounding cable then goes through your window (can still be closed perfectly) and the pin is simply pushed into the ground. The discreet grey cable can then be attached to the facade in a nicer way. This gives perfect grounding in the most natural way. You can then bridge a total of 12m (pin cable) + 5m (product cable) = 17m to ground yourself.

If you want to place 2 grounding products on 1 grounding pin, you need an extrasplitter. For 2 products 3 splitters, etc… You can instead. the splitter also neatly use the abovedistribution box with standard pin to connect multiple items.

3. On a pipe of the central heating

You can also easily work with acable with an alligator clip and attach it to a piece of unpainted metal radiator tube (e.g. you can scrape some paint off the back, which may be minimal), because these are also always grounded via the boiler. As long as there is metal (clip) to metal (tube) contact, everything works fine:

/products/crocodile-cable

To connect multiple grounding products with a clip on a radiator (pipe), it is more convenient to use thedistribution box with alligator clip. You then also have the 5m of your connection cable + 5m of your junction box, so 10m in length, available (instead of 5m of a crocodile clip), should this be necessary.

/products/alligator-box

All of these solutions giveno loss of grounding to your body, are all secured and can easily be measured with the body voltmeter if you wish (e.g. you can return the meter after use for a full refund).

Rest assured, it is also the function of grounding to neutralise the effects of electrical voltages on the shield itself and on your body. You are only connected to earth via the grounding in your socket (there are also alternatives) not the life electricity wires. There is no electricity involved at all and everything is extra protected so that you can ground the shield and yourself with total peace of mind.

Earthing is now also used in incubators for premature babies (exposure to all kinds of electrosmog and unnatural alternating voltage through heating and measuring equipment). This gives them up to 200% more chance of survival through a better heart rate. All super safe as such.
