There is a difference between magnetic fields and electromagnetic fields.

fluoride is derived from natural calcium deposits in phosphate rock and then purified. The average househould water filter doesn't remove fluoride. You would need to go to a reverse osmosis system to do it effectively.

Some of it comes from aluminum smelting industries look it up, my water filter removes allsorts of heavy mettals, reverse osmosis is to get rid of something elce, some type of sediment cant remember what is is now.

Reverse osmosis gets rid of everything. It is used at sea to turn the seawater into drinking water.

Trouble with too minutely filtered or reverse osmosis water, is it can actually be bad for you, (unless essential minerals are added afterwards). https://tinyurl.com/y4rgvvfs

My partner used to test earthing rods in buildings used to protect data equipment etc .He said the power mains earth rods were often so pathetic there could be quite a few volts on them from power leakage. Real time earth resistance testing is quite complicated to find a low enough resistance to be effective.

Yes, especially if the ground is really dry.

Our house was built in the 1980's the earthing rod is outside on the exterior wall at ground level held down by concrete path and is metres away from the internal fuse box.

Get into that health food, you dont want premature alzheimer's from aluminum poisoning, or atleast get some japanese knotweed tonic, why do we kill that stuff of again?.

Clearly the posters issue is not with earthing.
Electrics can be pretty simple if you think of a simple AA battery and electron flow through a wire between positive and negative terminals. Very simple school experiments to measure things like magnetic field around a wire. Mains voltage is the same; just more dangerous if you get it wrong. So your typical household socket has a single phase power supply with current flowing in phase (brown) line and returned via neutral (blue) line. The earth line is there, so if the neutral path fails on a high wattage device then power is returned via a switch board to the earthing-rod rather that to ground via the human touching the device. Little bit less important now with RCDs being more common, that trip out quickly.
Problem is that the OP believes in "bizarre electrical fields, or releasing a charge into the tap water that goes in the body" which is not grounded in reality. I could say more, but if people don't want to believe in the basic science, then not much point giving advice. The OP will no doubt instruct a sparky to do work not required, and the sparky will charge.

It grows rapidly from an extensive rhizome system, forming long, dense thickets It's so strong it can grow through concrete, tarmac and other hard surfaces, seriously damaging houses, buildings and infrastructure. Japanese knotweed is very difficult to eradicate because it's native to the volcanic region of Japan. In these areas there are regular deposits of ash and Japanese knotweed survives due to the energy stores in its deep root system. ---------- Never heard of the tonic? ----------
Luckily our water here is not treated, But just sorting house bus water system, done twin filters, thinking uv as well, as when filling up on the road, do not want bugs(or fluoride come to think about it)
I see ACTIVATED ALUMINA filters get at a somewhat acidic pH of 5.0. At this pH level, 85–95% of the fluoride originally in the water may be removed (Ayoob et al, 2008).
And same for REVERSE OSMOSIS . Depending on the chemistry of the water and the material from which the membrane is made, reverse osmosis filters can remove 85–95% of the fluoride in the water NFIS 5 (Feenstra et al, 2007).
Ha ha brain wave scanners, they would only pick up 5% of the population, the rest would be dead as a 20 year old car battery.

Cryolite isn't a byproduct of of aluminium smelting. It is used to reduce Aluminium oxide to Aluminium by reducing the temp at which it happens. But, it costs money & so anything that goes out of the process is recycled back into the anode & cathode blocks. At least at Tiwai anyway. They use extremely huge multi level filter systems to regain everything from the flue gases to recycle it.
Except in China where I have seen photos of setups done in a open cast iron bathtub, over a lignite fire, using electricity gained from damming a small creek &/or lignite fired boiler, home made carbon anodes with the ingredients shovelled in by hand without any byproduct filteration at all. Making 20-40 kgs a day. 35 of those equals a single cell, 50+ cells equals a potline.

OP is best to go to bunnings and buy a "flux capacitor" and plastic plugs to put in the power sockets as obviously the power is leaking out onto the floor through the floorboards and accumulating under the house causing magnetic fields. Maybe get a blower from bunnings to blow it out into the paddock next door, ah but it might put the neighbours cows off their milk.

Damning a "small creek" yea right electrode furnaces take sh*tloads of power to run. Was the generator stolen off mums F&P washing machine.

Another common problem with 50s houses is the main earth may be a driven galv pipe & they rust away below ground level & cant see it , very common in coastal areas

Yeap, my point exactly.
OP asks a question, there are people like yourself who know the correct answer based on training and experience, but they believe all the conspiracy theories so will ignore the simple solution.
Some people must get their science information from Facebook and conspiracy theories on YouTube.
I can see why it is so easy for people to sell magic stickers and other devices that 'block harmful EM waves'.
Meanwhile, there is a giant nuclear fusion reactor that hits people everyday with powerful harmful EM radiation across the spectrum from infrared to ultraviolet, that does cause cancer that kills people. But because the sun is natural, people worry more about the non risk of radiation from their WiFi router.

Our bodies repair its self from the suns radiation at night, when our bodies dont get a break from emf feilds, our bodies "CANT REPAIR ITSELF FROM THE DAMAGE" and starts to degenerate, dont you get it, this is why it destabilizes immune function, because the body thinks its still daytime because its absorbing radiation and emf feilds.

Our body does not repair itself at night from UV radiation; this is why skin cancer is a problem in NZ and I have yearly mole checks.
EMF fields around the house are incredibly weak and don't affect the body. Nobody dies or gets sick from magnetic or EM fields from household devices. In NZ, about 500 people die every year from the sun, yet most people don't understand the relative risk.
Despite the OP, asking questions on here about earthing and getting good evidence based answers, they are going to ignore that, and go on believing things which are not true. Check the health department websites, and you will find nobody gets sick and dies from bad earthing of their house other than by electrocution
This is getting way off topic, so I am out, but please try and ease off the conspiracy websites and learn more about non-ionizing radiation. https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4273

You can just add more rods if you want, just put a wire from the original to the new ones.
