Electrical sensitivity

I have electrical sensitivity to high frequency radio waves.  That means when I am around them too much I get neurologic sickness.  It can debilitate me for up to a week.  When my Lionel O gauge trains are running, they emit signals in the 200 MHz - 8 GHz range up to 3.00 V/m every few seconds.  Therefore, I can't run my trains frequently. A MTH technician told me a Z-1000 transformer would give a cleaner sine wave.  I tried one that was made in 2012, and the results were the same as using my Lionel CW-80 or 1970s red transformer.  I like the transformer, but it didn't change the radio frequency problem. I have a 1943 Marx, a 2004 Lionel Copper Range, a 2014 Lionel Pere Marquette, and a 2012 Lionel Santa Fe Flyer. I also tried a 1975 Lionel Liberty Special. They all have slightly different but still bad results. Is there anything you could suggest to fix this problem? I would really like to run my trains again.

Thank you,

Jake
