Note: Good News! The California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC) has agreed to provide an opt out option for customers of Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas &
Electric (SDG&E). Edison will allow you to keep your analog meter if you still have one and replace a smart meter with the
type of meter you had before. SDG&E will replace a smart meter with an analog one and let you keep your
analog meter if you still have one.
For details and an updated article, including information on "dirty power" from smart meters,

New: The
American Academy of Environmental Medicine
has written a position paper on the health effects of wireless devices, including a call for a moratorium on smart meters. Click

New: Upcoming Building Biology Conference in Washington, DC,
October 12-14, 2012. Featured speakers: Devra Davis, Camilla Rees, Dr. Martin Blank, Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman, and
Dr. William Rea. Also, celebrating 25 years of the Institute for Bau-biologie. Open to the public. For more info, click

Note: To read about sweeping reforms adopted last May by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) to reduce exposure
to cell phones and other EMFs, and the World Health Organization's new stance that cell phones are "possibly"
carcinogenic," click

You have reached the website for Create Healthy Homes,
dedicated to improving the impact that buildings have on the health of you, your family
and your employees. Use this site to find ways to make your
home and office more healthy.
We offer environmental home and office inspections, focusing on EMFs. We also
consult on ways to design and build a healthy new home and office or
remodel an exisiting one. On-site EMF evaluations are available in the Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego areas of
southern California. Telephone and Skype consultations are also available throughout North America.
"EMF" (electro-magnetic field) evaluation and mitigation is our
specialty, based upon the protocols taught by the Building BiologyTM profession. These include
evaluation and mitigation of AC electric and magnetic fields from house wiring, redundant neutral paths and grounding issues. We also measure harmful
radio frequency fields from cell phones, cordless telephones, Wi-Fi (wireless Internet) routers and nearby cell towers. We use client education,
reduced use, increased distance and alternative "hard-wired" strategies to provide portability and fast, secure Internet connections without exposure to
harmful radio frequencies.
We also provide consultations for healthy new home design and
construction to clients throughout the country. Click on Services for the full range of services
that we offer. To learn more about programs that certify your new or remodeled home as "green" and
sustainable, click here.
Healthy, nontoxic building
materials are recommended from such retailers as
Green Building Supply,
who offer everything from low- and no-VOC paint to nontoxic flooring, countertops and furniture to
customers nationwide.
Our healthy building evaluations identify and reduce household causes of fibromyalgia, chronic
fatigue and chemical sensitivities. Over sixty percent of our clients already have these
symptoms. Almost all report improvement once the household sources of ill health have been
identified and reduced. The remaining forty percent are relatively asymptomatic
but consult with us to
make their home more healthy and keep these problems from developing in the first place.
Click on Comments from Clients to read unsolicited
reports from those clients who have improved from one of our healthy home evaluations.
You can also click on Comments from New Building and
Remodeling Clients to
read reports from clients who have asked us to consult on the design, the building and / or the
remodeling of their new or existing home in a healthy, safe way.
Click on Tips for a Healthy Home to read
and print out useful information on the Building BiologyTM
approach to eliminate EMFs in your home and office,
improve air quality, reduce chemical sensitivities
and mold, and construct a healthy new home. These same topics are discussed in more detail in
several
Articles.

To support our position that exposure to Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMFs)
is harmful and that
currently accepted levels of exposure are too high, click on
"EMF research citations." There
you will find links to numerous websites where you will find
documentation of these harmful effects.
A companion page is just below it, including
links to websites with research on the adverse health effects of wireless
communications and information-carrying radio frequencies from cell phones, cordless telephones and
wireless internet routers (Wi-Fi). A new page
follows with video and audio links on the dangers
of wireless technologies, including radio and television interviews and videos of lectures.
Those three pages are updated regularly as new information is released on the harmful effects
of exposure to EMFs, primarily from the European, Australian and Canadian press.
A new page has been added with links to radio interviews that Oram has provided on national and
local Minnesota radio stations. Click here for the links.
You can also see
reports of the potential dangers of exposure to wireless communications presented
by Oram Miller, BBEC to the Saint Louis Park, Minnesota,
City Council during their deliberations on the deployment of a city-wide Wireless Internet
(Wi-Fi) system that has also been deployed throughout greater Minneapolis.
Two new pages have also been added. The
first contains revised guidelines on the hazards of
broken CFLs based on the Maine Compact Fluorescent Lamp Breakage Study Report conducted by the
Maine Department of
Environmental Protection. The
second provides a list of criteria you can follow if you are multiple
chemically sensitive (MCS), and you are looking for a new or existing home. It also contains
links to websites with useful information on chemical sensitivities.
We also offer a healthy new building manual,
compiled by Oram in collaboration with
George Swanson, BBEC, builder and
Building BiologistTM in Austin, Texas, and Wayne Federer in Wisconsin.
The manual is now available and provides
healthy protocols for the design and construction of new buildings and the healthy remodeling of
existing ones. It is based upon protocols taught by the
International Institute for
Bau-biologieTM and Ecology (IBE) in Clearwater, Florida.
You can order a copy by going to our website

All services that we provide are based upon the twenty-five
Principles of Bau-biologieTM, the German word for
