When it comes to EMF protection, two fundamentally different approaches exist: traditional blocking/shielding methods and active frequency-based technologies like Blushield. Understanding the differences between these approaches can help you make informed decisions about EMF protection strategies.
How Traditional EMF Shielding Works
Electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing or redirecting electromagnetic fields in a space using barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials, typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings [1].
Common Traditional Shielding Methods
Common EM shielding techniques include metallic foil or braided shields around wires and cables, metallic mesh to prevent component interference, metallic sheets that can be cut and formed to specific shapes, metallic casings that isolate components, conductive paint for rooms and buildings, conductive foam, shielding gaskets, and filters [2].
Typical materials used for electromagnetic shielding include thin layers of metal, sheet metal, metal screens, and metal foam, with common sheet metals including copper, brass, nickel, silver, steel, and tin [1].
The Science Behind Blocking
EMF shielding products are based on principles established when Michael Faraday invented the Faraday cage in 1836 – enclosures that block electric charges and can block significant amounts of electromagnetic radiation [3]. Electromagnetic shielding works by creating a mesh of conductive or magnetic material to form a barrier that obstructs EM fields, functioning like a window shade that blocks and deflects EMF radiation [3].
How Blushield Technology Works Differently
Instead of attempting to block EMFs, Blushield essentially overpowers non-native EMFs with resonant frequencies and becomes the dominant carrier signal in the environment, with bodies preferring and attuning to harmonious frequencies through sympathetic resonance when such frequencies match or exceed the power of inharmonious frequencies [4].
The Active Protection Approach
Blushield is not, and doesn’t claim to be, a blocking or shielding device – if it blocked EMFs, cell phones and WiFi would no longer work as intended, but instead it provides protection directly at the cell level of living organisms by producing a biologically coherent competing field that the body preferentially entrains with [5].
Most EMF protection devices could be considered “passive” devices that don’t use electricity to amplify a signal, making them more subtle and inert, while Blushield’s active technology uses power to create powerful fields rather than passive fields found in stickers, pendants, or pyramids [6].
Sympathetic Resonance Principle
When Blushield is active, the body responds to these frequencies rather than to WiFi, smart meters, or mobile phones through this process of sympathetic resonance, with the body preferring to respond to natural frequencies over man-made EMF [7].
The devices emit millions of natural scalar frequencies for a few seconds every 30 seconds, and when the body responds to these natural scalar frequencies through sympathetic resonance, it can ignore or override the powerful man-made electromagnetic frequencies from various sources [8].
Key Comparison #1: Blocking vs. Competing
Traditional Shielding Approach
Traditional methods attempt to create a physical barrier between you and EMF sources. In electrical engineering, electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing or redirecting the electromagnetic field in a space with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials [1].
The amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of holes in a shield to an incident electromagnetic field [1].
Blushield’s Competing Field Approach
Blushield produces longitudinal energy fields embedded with coherent frequencies based on mathematical algorithms that mimic nature, creating active, powerful fields that are essentially “loud” enough to compete against biologically incoherent non-native EMF fields [4].
Since it is virtually impossible to isolate yourself from EMF, whether it be in your home, office or in your car, Blushield gives you a healthy frequency field to resonate with, instead of trying to remove or alter the other EMFs [5].
Key Comparison #2: The Scalar Wave Component
What Traditional Shielding Can’t Block
While shielding will attenuate or fully block the conventionally measurable transverse component of electromagnetic waves (which can be seen on EMF meters), cell phones and WiFi won’t work fully behind a Faraday cage because the information they transmit is on a transverse carrier signal [6].
However, the problem is that shielding will not block the longitudinal scalar component of the electromagnetic wave, which is estimated to be five times stronger in its biological effects than the transverse component [6].
Blushield Addresses Scalar Fields
There is no metal or concrete that can block the scalar field, and this scalar nonthermal aspect of EMF is what makes them harmful to DNA, which is why cellular-level protection is important [9]. Standard methods of shielding will not protect you from the ambient EMF [9].
The scalar component, which is part of all EMFs and contains the information signature that is most harmful to the body, is not blocked at all by shielding methods [10].
Key Comparison #3: Device Functionality
Traditional Shielding Can Interfere
You can’t just block all EMF radiation from modern technology because emitting EMF is exactly how our modern wireless technology works and communicates – if you blocked all the EMF radiation coming from your phone, for example, it won’t work [3].
When you fully wrap a device to cut the signal, your cell phone or wifi router will just emit more power to overcome the shielding [3].
Blushield Maintains Normal Operation
Blushield does not block, shield, remove, or modify EMF – WiFi signals, mobile phone signals, and other smart technology are not affected by the presence of Blushield [8]. Blushield works by sympathetic resonance, allowing your body to tune into its natural scalar frequencies which it recognises over the man-made frequencies from smart technology thus protecting you at a cellular level even when EMFs are present [8].
Key Comparison #4: Natural Frequency Access
Shielding Blocks Everything
Any metal shielding practice, even when correctly applied, attenuates not only man-made totally polarized EMFs related to health problems, but also the natural non-polarized EMFs responsible for the biological rhythmicity and well-being of all animals [11].
Some research indicates EMF shielding can be counterproductive because blocking natural frequencies like Schumann resonances, which regulate circadian rhythms, can negatively impact health [10].
Blushield Preserves Natural Connections
Shielding methods will not block out any scalar fields emanated by natural sources, which is good, but full shielding blocks the signal transmission of your cell phone and Wifi, so you have to leave your shielded area to use your devices at all [10].
Blushield’s coherent field overrides all ambient EMF fields, including wireless radiation, while the technology doesn’t block natural beneficial frequencies [4].
Key Comparison #5: Practical Coverage
Traditional Shielding Limitations
While it is possible to do most of these things online at home, most people don’t [9].
In many ways, radiofrequency radiation behaves like light – it travels in straight lines, it can be blocked by some materials, and it can reflect off of surfaces [12]. Multiple sources and reflections can hit areas from different angles, making complete shielding difficult to achieve.
Blushield’s Broader Protection
The home and portable devices work in tandem to maintain your protection 24/7, for optimal results [5]. Home and office Blushield models plug into a standard powerpoint and use mains power to broadcast a field strong enough to effectively compete against the effects of EMF in your environment [13].
Over time, after our body has adjusted to the Blushield frequencies, we effectively become immune to the effects of EMF – it’s not the Blushield technology that directly blocks or shields the EMF, it’s the body resonating coherently at the Blushield scalar frequencies that blocks the EMF and protects us from all EMF at the cellular level [13].
Key Comparison #6: Testing and Validation
Traditional Shielding: RF Meter Based
Most devices claiming to protect against EMFs attempt to block the EMFs before they reach your body, apparently shielding you from harmful radiation. To validate claims, these devices rely on tests to show, using a radio frequency meter, how much the frequency is reduced when the device is active [14].
Blushield: Biological Testing
Since Blushield relies on scalar fields for its effectiveness, and not the measurable electromagnetic fields, different tests are required to show Blushield’s effectiveness, and Blushield testing has focused on the effects of this technology on humans and animals [14].
Instead of blocking EMFs, Blushield protects biology at the cell level by providing a stronger field of coherent, nature-based scalar fields, to compete against the incoherent fields of the manmade devices, and since the Blushield waveforms are more natural to our bodies, the cells in our body entrain and “listen” to these fields, and our cells begin to literally ignore the harmful frequencies [14].

When Each Approach Makes Sense
Consider Traditional Shielding For:
EMF meters are easy to use and affordable, and they are the only way to identify hidden sources of trouble [12]. Traditional shielding makes sense when:
- You need to block EMF from entering or leaving a specific space
- You want measurable, verifiable field reduction
- You’re protecting sensitive electronic equipment
- You need targeted protection for specific situations
- You want something you can measure with an RF meter
Consider Blushield For:
Blushield provides protection across environments when:
- You need whole-home or office coverage
- You want devices to function normally
- You travel frequently and need portable protection
- You’re concerned about scalar wave effects
- You want to maintain access to natural frequencies
- You prefer biological testing over field measurements
Can They Work Together?
For those currently using shielding products who have experienced benefits, Blushield encourages continuing their use in limited ways, but cautions against overly relying on them as a primary form of EMF protection [6].
It should be noted that there are also free and simple ways to reduce your exposure to harmful EMFs. For example, turning off your WiFi at night, or better still hardwiring your internet connection instead of using WiFi.
A Comprehensive Approach
Many EMF-conscious individuals combine multiple strategies:
- Distance and Avoidance – Primary strategy (turning off WiFi, keeping distance from devices)
- Targeted Shielding – For specific high-exposure situations (phone cases, laptop pads)
- Active Technology – For ambient whole-environment protection (Blushield)
- Measurement – Using EMF meters to identify problem areas
The Fundamental Philosophy Difference
The core distinction between these approaches comes down to methodology and philosophy:
Traditional Shielding Philosophy:
- Create barriers between you and EMF sources
- Reduce or redirect electromagnetic fields physically
- Focus on measurable field reduction
- Protection through isolation
Blushield Philosophy:
- Provide a better frequency option for your body
- Work with biological systems through resonance
- Focus on biological response rather than field reduction
- Protection through cellular entrainment
Making an Informed Decision
Blocking all EMF radiation from devices prevents them from functioning, since emitting EMF is exactly how modern wireless technology works and communicates [3]. This fundamental limitation means that complete EMF blocking is neither practical nor possible for most people who want to maintain connectivity.
When evaluating EMF protection options, consider:
- Your connectivity needs – Do you need devices to function?
- Your lifestyle – Are you primarily in one location or mobile?
- Your budget – What can you invest in protection?
- Testing methodology – Do you prefer measurable field reduction or biological testing?
- Coverage requirements – Do you need whole-home protection or targeted shielding?
- Scientific understanding – Are you comfortable with established principles or emerging science?
In Conclusion
Traditional shielding methods and Blushield technology represent two different paradigms for approaching EMF protection. Traditional methods focus on physically blocking electromagnetic fields using conductive materials – an approach based on well-established electromagnetic principles that can be measured with RF meters. Blushield uses active scalar field technology to help the body “tune in” to more coherent frequencies at the cellular level – an approach based on emerging scalar wave science that focuses on biological response rather than field reduction.
Understanding both approaches, their strengths and limitations, enables you to make choices aligned with your specific needs, lifestyle, and understanding of the science involved. In many cases, a comprehensive approach combining avoidance strategies, targeted shielding for specific situations, and active protection technology may provide the most practical solution.
