Now that you’re breathing—and drinking—easier, you can worry about your electricity. High-tension lines have been linked to cancer, and it is recommended that homes be built no closer than 350 feet from such power lines.
Rothstein’s home is safe on that front. She also has extra coating on her home’s triple-twisted wires to reduce the potentially carcinogenic electromagnetic charge. There’s a metal-mesh shield in the ceiling over the basement electrical panel. She substituted wood studs for metal to prevent electromagnetic charges.
Health-conscious homeowners are also buying cutting boards and countertops treated with bactericides and have found that silver and copper are naturally sanitizing. Silver-ion coatings keep handles and faucets germ-free.
On the cutting edge of wellness technology are materials that radiate far-infrared rays, the part of the sun’s invisible spectrum that can penetrate deep into human tissue. Such materials have been widely used in Japan for years and are gaining respect here as germ-zappers and a remedy for ailments such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. They’re popping up in everything from heating systems to saunas and can even be woven into textiles. Rothstein’s family sleeps under far-infrared therapy comforters (manufacturers include Nikken and Thermoflow) and on mattress pads filled with magnets, which some people claim to have pain-relieving properties.
