Maybe the old lady should worry more about the big High Voltage Power right behind her house. This will definitely radiate much more EMF waves towards her house a some small wires. This seems that the Feng Shui remedies are taken out of context and taken too far. Feng Shui is the ancient way to stay in balance, but this should also include common sense. It would not be even efficient if a person stresses out to have the Feng Shui. A huge part in ones destiny is the so called “Man-Luck” which is the personal decision making that needs to be worried about. Feng Shui is only 33% of our luck, Man-Luck is 33% and the rest is based on our Heaven Luck (Destiny). The best is to have some have some common knowledge about Feng Shui Tips and how to apply them in a sufficient way.

I totally agree with the above comment. It is very selfish just to go ahead and cut some smaller cables and think it will improve her Feng Shui inside the home. I am pretty sure, if she so much worries about this and her house would be in perfect shape with all the cures and enhancers, these wires would not cause any major harm to her. If indeed, she got sick for some reason, I am sure the big electric tower behind her house is to blame as it transmits such intense negative energy in an area of 1 km around it, this would most likely be the cause for any problems inside her home. I hope she will learn and pays a high bill to fix the damage. I cannot point out to always follow basic Feng Shui Tips and common sense with it to live a happy, balanced and peaceful life.
