The Cell Phone Poisoning Of America
THE CELL PHONE POISONING OF AMERICA
2008
This powerful and striking statement was made by prominent physician Andrew Weil, MD, best-selling author of eight books, a Harvard Medical School graduate, and internationally recognized expert on medicinal herbs and integrative medicine.
When you read the rest of this report you’ll understand why his statement is both accurate and valid.
Facts About Cell Phone Use
Talking on a cell phone as little as 500 minutes a month can increase the probability of brain cancer by 140% to 300% (1)- Cell phone radiation has been shown to damage and break living DNA (2)
Cell phone radiation causes leakage of the blood-brain barrier allowing toxins to damage sensitive brain tissue (3) Cell phones worn by men on a belt clip can reduce sperm count by 30% (4) (5) After using a cell phone for six years the risk of developing an acoustic neuroma (tumor of the auditory nerve) increases by 50% (6) Cell phone radiation increases estrogen and adrenaline levels in the body disrupting hormonal balance (7) A two-minute cell phone call alters a child’s brain function for an hour (8) (9) Cordless phones have even higher cancer risks than cell phones (10)
The Russians Knew About This A Long Time Ago
Between 1953 and 1976 the Russians directed electromagnetic radiation directly at the US embassy in Moscow.
His replacement also developed leukemia and he, too, was replaced. Staff members were continually ill and additionally complained of memory loss, brain fog, loss of focus and insomnia during their stay in the embassy.
“Radio Frequency Sickness Syndrome” was a condition the Russians had earlier identified in experiments. So they weren’t surprised to learn of these health problems.
However, this same technology is being promoted today as safe and convenient.
Convenient it may be but safe it is not.
How Do Cell Phones Work?
Cell phones are really just radio transmitters emitting signals through radio waves.
These waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation, or EMR. When the cell phone is turned on it locates itself by broadcasting a series of signals to the cell phone carrier’s closest cell phone tower. The carrier then relays that information to the nearest mobile telephone switching office. When making a call the phone sends its data to the carrier’s nearest tower, to the switching office and then to the switching office in the area code of the number being called.
Through a processor in the phone the digital information signal is converted into an analog signal so a voice can be heard. All this occurs in an average time of four to eight seconds.
Each cell phone contains its own transmitter. The purpose of the transmitter is to encode information onto a radio wave. This radio wave radiates out from the phone’s antenna evenly through space. The information being encoded, for example, could be the sound of your voice, the data from your text message or a photo.
The transmitter will then send the encoded wave, with your information or voice, to the antenna and the antenna will then send the signal. The function of the antenna is to propel these radio waves out into space so that a receiver in a nearby cell tower will pick them up.
This makes the antenna the most dangerous part of the phone.
Where The “Cell” In Cell Phone Comes From
Cell phone towers emit signals in a “flower petal” pattern around the tower.
This 360-degree radius around the tower is called a “cell” and this is what the term “cell” in cell phone means. When a cell phone is in a “cell” one usually enjoys good reception. But when the cell phone is not in a “cell” area reception is poor. So for a cell phone company to provide complete coverage cell phone towers and antenna towers must be positioned all across the countryside so that the “cells” overlap one another.
One can begin to see what a huge infrastructure needs to be created to provide complete cell phone coverage. That’s why cell phone towers and antenna towers are so prevalent.
And that’s why these antennas are installed in so many places like fire stations, schools, churches and rooftops everywhere.
What Exactly Is Cell Phone Radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy consisting of a magnetic field plus an electrical field.
Cell phone radiation is one form of electromagnetic radiation. All electromagnetic radiation falls within a spectrum that can range from extremely low frequency radiation, or ELFs, on the low end, to microwaves, X-Rays and gamma rays at the upper end. For example, electrical power lines and wiring in our homes operate in the 60 Hertz frequency which is found at the low end of the spectrum.
AM radio operates at one megahertz while most cell phones operate in the range of 800 to 2200 megahertz. These frequencies are substantially higher than 60 Hertz. At the high end of the energy spectrum we find X-Rays that operate at more than one million megahertz. This kind of radiation energy is also known as “ionizing” radiation since these radio waves are so powerful that they can break chemical bonds in the body and cause genetic damage.
Radiation at the low end of the spectrum is known as “non-ionizing” radiation and radiation of this kind is generated by such devices as cell phones, cell phone towers, wireless routers, WiFi, etc. This form of radiation is too weak to break chemical bonds and is one reason why many falsely believe that cell phone radiation is harmless.
When the radio wave from a cell phone is oscillating at 800 to 2200 megahertz, (or two thousand two hundred million cycles per second) it is moving much too fast for the body to detect. The body simply cannot recognize a radio wave moving at this speed and thus it moves invisibly through the body without detection.
Radiation moving this fast could only be recognized if it were driven by a very strong source of power. If the power driving a radio wave is of sufficient strength the wave could cause damage through the heating of biological tissue. Since cell phones aren’t strong enough to heat biological tissue the mechanism by which cell phone radiation causes harm occurs in a different manner.
This mechanism will be explained in a different section of this report.
Helpful Terms to Understand
Electricity is simply the flow of electrons.
This can occur over a high power transmission line or through wiring in the home or office. Whenever electricity passes through a wire two fields of force are created. One is an electrical field and the other is a magnetic field. In the United States electrical current reverses direction 60 times each second and thus is called alternating current, or AC.
Another important term is gauss, or milligauss (mG). This unit measures the intensity of the magnetic field. It was so named for the German astronomer and mathematician Karl Gauss. A milligauss is one one-thousandth of one gauss.
Hertz measures frequency and milligauss measures intensity. Keep those terms in mind as you read information about devices such as cell phones and common household appliances.
Fewer Signal Bars Mean More Danger
Pay close attention to the signal bars on the display panel of your cell phone.
Why Are Cell Phones Dangerous?
The cell phone antenna generates a wireless signal that connects and communicates with the nearest cell phone tower.
This insidious and invisible toxin called electromagnetic radiation is wrecking havoc on our health. We think because it can’t be seen or felt it isn’t there. But, frankly, there isn’t a time during any day when we are not exposed to the damaging effects of electromagnetic radiation. In fact, never before in the history of civilization has this type of environment existed.
Here’s How The Harm Happens
Damage from the cell phone comes from two sources.
The first damaging source occurs from the near-field plume of radiation generated by the cell phone’s antenna. This plume of radiation extends out a distance of six or seven inches from the antenna in all directions. The near-field plume has been studied most extensively and contains the most intense energy. It is able to penetrate deep into biological tissue. This radiation is absorbed when the cell phone is held in close proximity to the body.This form of radiation is also given off by wireless laptop computers and similar devices. Later in this report you will see a picture from a study showing how deep this near-field plume of radiation penetrates into the head.The warning is this: don’t allow a cell phone, wireless laptop or any similar electronic device to be too close to your body due to this near-field plume. And never put the cell phone’s antenna in your mouth.
The second form of damage comes from a radio wave called the Information-Carrying Radio Wave, or ICRW. The cell phone signal is made up of two parts. The first part of the signal vibrates at 800 to 2200 megahertz. This wave is moving much too fast for the body to recognize and, as far as we can tell, is not causing any harm.However, when a person speaks or sends a text message the information is “piggy-backed” or packeted onto the first radio wave. This creates a second wave or signal which is called the information-carrying radio wave, or ICRW. It vibrates at a frequency down in the hertz range. In this range the ICRW is recognized by the body and it is this wave that is causing damage.Here’s what happens. Receptors are located on the cell membrane of each cell in our body. These receptors are both chemical and vibrational. The vibrational receptors pick up signals which vibrate in the hertz range.
Everyone is exposed to these ICRWs on a continual basis. When the body senses that a foreign invader is present it takes measures to protect itself. It does this by shutting down the active transport channels in the cell membrane and as a result the permeability of the cell membrane changes. Consequently, the nutrients that are in the space between the cells can’t get inside the cell to nourish it.
As waste material and free radicals build up inside the cell mitochondria are damaged and cellular dysfunction ensues.
The free radicals that build up inside the cell also interfere with the repair and replication of DNA. Many studies have shown the formation of micronuclei following exposure to information-carrying radio waves. (14)
It is indeed naïve to think that all the radiation that moves invisibly through our body on a daily basis is not harmful. Quite the contrary.
Alzheimer’s disease (15) Autism (16) Parkinson’s disease (17) Heart disease (18) Miscarriage (19) Brain tumors (20) Leukemia (21) Fatigue (22) Depression (23) Immune system disorders (24) Learning disabilities (25) Memory loss (26) Sleep disorders and insomnia (27) Headaches and migraines (28) Loss of concentration (29) Lowered sperm counts (30) Increased blood pressure (31) DNA damage (32) Blood-brain barrier damage (33) Hormonal imbalance (34)
Cell Phone Radiation Affects Hormones
Charles Graham, PhD, physiologist at the Midwest Research Institute in Kansas City, MO., has conducted studies indicating that electromagnetic radiation alters hormone levels. (35)
Much is written today about the harmful effects of “estrogen mimickers” produced from the multitude of many chemicals and pollutants in the environment. Indeed, these products that mimic the effects of estrogen have a damaging effect on the body in terms of their disruption to proper hormonal balance.
For many years breast cancer patients all over the world have been prescribed a drug called tamoxifen as a means to prevent recurrence of breast cancer. In a study published in Electricity and Magnetism in Biology and Medicine in1998, it was shown that tamoxifen lost its ability to halt the proliferation of cancer cells when exposed to EMR. (36)
Cell Phone Radiation Inhibits Melatonin
Studies have also shown that electromagnetic radiation inhibits the production of a hormone called melatonin.(37)
Could this be one reason why so many people today have insomnia? Could the multitude of sleep problems in America today be a result of all the radiation in our environment? Should we remove the cordless phone or clock radio from the nightstand near our bed?
Why is this important? If the body doesn’t reach the deeper phases of sleep during the night it cannot repair itself. Cells will not have a chance to rejuvenate and repair. Sleep is necessary for this repair process to occur. Yet today 81% of young people 15 to 20 years of age sleep with their cell phone on! (38) Considering the value of melatonin to our health the implications of this statistic cannot be overstated.
A study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that a woman’s risk of breast cancer increased up to 60% if she routinely worked a nighttime shift. (39)
Another important function of melatonin is that it is a powerful antioxidant and is very efficient in destroying free radicals. Destruction of free radicals and proper DNA synthesis allows our cells to function properly. One of the known effects of free radicals is premature aging and one of the ways free radicals are produced is from environmental toxins that include EMR.
Melatonin also enhances the immune system. It does this is through its ability to increase the activity of the immune system’s killer lymphocytes. Additionally, melatonin also strengthens the ability of Vitamin D to stop tumor growth. In fact, the tumor-fighting ability of Vitamin D is strengthened by 20 to 100 times. (40)
A study published in the Journal of Pineal Research in 2007 reported on the therapeutic effects of melatonin in treating cognitive impairment such as that found in Alzheimer’ disease, dementia, etc. Results showed significantly better improvement in patients treated with melatonin. (41)
Melatonin Inhibits Estrogen and Cancer
A 2001 study done at Japan’s National Institute for Environmental Studies revealed that breast cancer cells treated with melatonin would resume growing when exposed to electromagnetic radiation! (42)
Perhaps one of the most important functions of melatonin is that it inhibits the release of estrogen and suppresses the development of breast cancer. (43) Seventy percent of breast cancers today are estrogen sensitive. When EMR inhibits the release of melatonin the activity of one of the body’s most protective hormones is lost.
A causal link between breast cancer and EMR continues to be reported. Dr. Patricia Coogan at Boston University of Public Health reported a forty-three per cent increased risk for breast cancer for women who worked in occupations where exposure to magnetic fields occurred. (44)
There is also concern that this increased risk of breast cancer is not confined to women.
Cell Phones Affect Male Fertility
A recent study released by the prestigious Cleveland Clinic showed a link between poor sperm production and the number of hours a day a man uses a cell phone.
It is advisable for men (and women) not to carry a cell phone on a belt clip or in a pocket close to the body.
Cell Phones Disable The Blood-Brain Barrier In Two Minutes
The blood-brain barrier is a delicate membrane that separates the brain from the rest of the body and filters the blood supply to the brain.
It’s Like Driving While Drunk
The U.S. Department of Energy found that using a cell phone while driving will severely impair memory and reaction time. In fact, the impairment is so severe that it is similar to driving while intoxicated.
Cell Phones Radiation Is a Source of Stress
In addition to the stress of continual mental interruption cell phones can cause a physical stress response in the body.
Miscarriages and High Blood Pressure Caused By EMR
Blood pressure can be increased simply from being exposed to a cell phone.
We Can’t Escape the Radiation
Researchers have shown that one doesn’t have to own a cell phone to be exposed to electromagnetic radiation.
Cell Phones Were Never Safety Tested Before Being Sold
When cell phones came onto the market in 1983 they did so without any pre-market safety testing.
The Cell Phone Companies Know
In 1993, Larry King had a guest on his show named David Reynard of Tampa, FL.
As a first step, the cell phone industry hired appropriate medical and science researchers to conduct a study that was to become the largest of its kind ever conducted on cell phone safety. The cell phone industry funded this research project with $28.5 million of its own money.
In 1999, the results of the research findings were published.
The rate of death from brain cancer among handheld phone users was higher than the rate of brain cancer among those who used non-handheld phones that were away from their head The risk of acoustic neuroma, a benign tumor of the auditory nerve, was 50% higher in people who reported using cell phones for six years or more The risk of rare neuro-epithelial tumors on the outside of the brain was more than doubled in cell phone users as compared to non-users There is some correlation between tumors occurring on the right side of the head and use of the phone on the right side of the head Laboratory studies looking at the ability of radiation from a cell phone’s antenna to cause functional genetic damage were definitely positive
In all, over 56 studies were funded by the cell phone industry and over 200 scientists and doctors from around the world participated.
The research findings were reported to the cell phone industry executives with the suggestion that the industry inform the public and allow users to begin to take precautionary steps until more research could be done. A detailed account of the whole story can be found in a book that chronicled the events that took place.
And there’s more.
Former Motorola Research Scientist Acknowledges Radiation Problem
Robert Kane, PhD., former Motorola Senior Research Scientist and Technical Staff Member, said this,
“Recent research has demonstrated that even short-term exposure to radiation power densities emanating from a nearby cellular telephone is sufficient to modify brainwave patterns, affect short-term memory, and modify an individual’s ability to perform physical tasks such as driving an automobile.”
“The body of available research indicates that operation of a nearby portable cellular telephone will expose a non-user to radiation, some of which will be deposited into the brain of the non-user at levels higher than necessary to elicit undesirable biological effects even though the phone may be more than ten feet away from the non-user.”
What Are SARs? Are They A Guide To Cell Phone Safety?
SAR stands for Specific Absorption Rate.
All cell phones today have a published SAR value. It varies slightly from phone model to phone model. However, knowing the SAR number of your phone is of minimal value since all phones manufactured today must meet the FCC established standard of 1.6 watts/kg or below. That said, it’s still a good idea to purchase a cell phone with a SAR value as low as possible to minimize the absorption of radiation when the cell phone is near the head.
The Truth about Headsets
Headsets have been promoted as being an effective method to reduce exposure to EMR being generated by the cell phone.
change the radiation in some way to make it harmless to the body or, move the phone away from the head at least six to seven inches when talking.
First, there is the near-field plume of radiation created and emitted by the cell phone’s antenna Secondly, there is the information-carrying radio wave (ICRW) that is created when we speak or send a text message
Bluetooth Blues
Bluetooth headsets are even worse than conventional headsets.
Here’s something else to question.
With the Bluetooth earpiece worn on the ear and with radiation being emitted continuously, will we see damage to the auditory nerve or perhaps damage to the inner ear at some point? Will this continual radiation exposure damage hearing in some way?
Cordless Phones Are More Dangerous Than Cell Phones
Cordless phones are not safer than cell phones. In fact, some published research has shown that cordless phones are three times more dangerous than cell phones! (55)
The bottom line is that you are much safer returning to the use of wired landline phones.
Baby Monitors Can Harm Your Child
Are we putting newborns at risk by placing monitoring devices in the child’s bedroom?
“We have had a number of reports from parents that their babies did not sleep well and cried a lot when they used DECT monitors but were okay when no baby monitor was used,” according to the agency. (60)
What about Cell Phone Towers?
There are an estimated 1.3 million base station antennas installed on towers and rooftops worldwide.
As explained earlier, each cell phone tower emits its signal in a circular pattern that would look much like a flower petal if it were visible.
Studies Show Adverse Health Effects from Cell Phone Towers
Below are listed six studies that have shown significant adverse health effects on people living near cell phone towers.
Santini et al. found significant health problems in people living within 300 meters of a cell phone base station or tower. The recommendation was made from the study that cell phone base stations should not be placed closer than 300 meters to populated areas. Pathol Biol (Paris) 2002; 50: 369-373.
A Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research study entitled, “Effects of Global Communications System Radio-Frequency Fields on Well Being and Cognitive Function of Human Subjects With and Without Subjective Complaints” found significant effects on well being including headaches, muscle fatigue, pain, and dizziness from tower emissions well below the “safety” level.
Gerd, Enrique, Manuel, Ceferino and Claudio conducted a Spanish study called “The Microwave Syndrome” and found adverse health effects from those living near two cell phone base stations. The health effects included fatigue, a tendency toward depression, sleeping disorders, difficulty in concentration and cardiovascular problems.
From an Israeli study published in the International Journal of Cancer Prevention, Vol. 1, No. 2, April 2004, Wolf and Wolf reported a fourfold increase in the incidence of cancer in people living within 350 meters of a cell phone tower as compared to the Israeli general population. They also reported a tenfold increase specifically among women.
In the Naila Study from Germany, November 2004, five medical doctors collaborated to assess the risk to people living near a cell phone tower. The retrospective study was taken from patient case histories between 1994 and 2004 from those who had lived during the past ten years at a distance up to 400 meters from the tower site. The results showed that the proportion of newly developed.
An Austrian Study released in May, 2005, showed that radiation from a cell phone tower at a distance of 80 meters causes significant changes of the electrical currents in the brains of test subjects.
Cell Phone Towers Placed On Schools, Fire Stations, and Church Steeples
Just why would a cell phone tower be placed on a church, school or fire station? Money.
Two-time Nobel Prize nominee, Dr. Gerald Hyland, a physicist, had this to say about cell phone towers.
“Existing safety guidelines for cell phone towers are completely inadequate. Quite justifiably, the public remains skeptical of attempts by government and industry to reassure them that all is well, particularly given the unethical way in which they often operate symbiotically so as to promote their own vested interests.”
Dr. Bruce Hocking did a study in Sydney, Australia, of children living near TV and FM broadcast towers that are very similar to cell phone towers. He found that these children had more than twice the rate of leukemia as children living more than seven miles away from these same towers. (61)
Do we really want our children sitting at a desk right beneath the source of this radiation? Do we fully know the potential effects on the developing brains of our children? How many children in school today already suffer from inability to focus, learning disorders and attention deficit problems? Might there a connection?
Living Near Cell Phone Towers Increases Neurological Symptoms
headache (23.5%) memory changes (28.2%) dizziness (18.8%) tremors (9.4%) symptoms of depression (21.7%) sleep disturbances (23.5%) (62)
Our Communities Can’t Stop Cell Phone Tower Construction
What can communities do about the installation of cell phone towers? Unfortunately, very little.
Here’s the quote from the Federal Communications Act of 1996 that prohibits states, neighborhoods and communities from installing cell phone towers:
“No State or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the Commission’s regulations concerning such emissions.”
Firefighters Vote To Suspend Cell Tower Construction on Fire Stations
In August 2004, the International Association of Fire Fighters voiced its opinion on cell phone towers and antennas by passing a resolution at its annual assembly opposing the installation of cell phone antennas on or near fire stations until a credible study could be done to establish safety.
Find Out How Many Towers and Antennas Are Near Your Home
The average person lives within one-half mile of a cell phone tower.
Are you curious if there are any cell phone towers or antennas near your home or business? Would it bother you if you knew you lived near a cell phone tower or antenna tower? How many are around your home or office?
And let’s don’t forget the more than 2000 communications satellites floating around in outer space. They shower the planet continually with radiation. Got a new GPS device? How do you think it works?
At what point will our biological systems no longer be able to handle this burden? What happens then? Are the rising rates of cancer and disease indicators that we’re reaching a point where we can’t tolerate more?
Effects of Cell Phone Radiation on Children Are Worse Than Adults
Does cell phone radiation affect children differently that it does adults? Absolutely.
Radiation Penetrates the Head of Children
In 1997, Dr. Om Ghandi from the University of Utah conducted studies showing how radiation penetrates into the head of a child much deeper than that of an adult.
Studies at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, found that children who were exposed to radiation as low as one milligauss (1mG) over long periods of time have twice the normal risk of developing leukemia. (65)
The National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) issued a report in May of 2000 stating that,
“children might be more vulnerable to any effects arising from the use of mobile phones because of their developing nervous system, the greater absorption of energy in the tissues of the head and the longer lifetime of exposure.”
According to a University of Washington scientist 70 to 80 percent of the radiation emitted from a cell phone antenna is absorbed into the head. (66)
It is truly disturbing that in light of the many published studies now available cautioning cell phone use in children major cell phone corporations are targeting and marketing to children anyway.
“If there are risks, and we think that maybe there are, then the people most likely to be affected are children, and the younger the children, the greater the danger.”
We don’t know what the long-term effects of cell phone radiation are to children.
Evidence in medical science continues to mount that radiation from devices such as cell phones, cordless phones, and WiFi produces dangerous and damaging health effects. The time for action is now.
Legal Action Against Cell Phone Companies
Currently, there are seven class action lawsuits that have been filed and are active against the cell phone manufacturers.
One workman’s compensation case in California has already been ruled in favor of the plaintiff. The court ruled that there was substantial evidence that the plaintiff’s brain tumor had been caused by excessive use of the cell phone in her line of work. She won her petition.
The Cell Phone Industry Has No Insurance
It is interesting that the insurance industry now excludes health-risk claims in the product liability coverage of cell phone industry products.
Buried in the fine print of Verizon‘s new contracts is a clause the customer, by signing that states that the customer agrees not to sue the cell phone manufacturer for any bodily damages or harm.
Cell Phone Industry Is In a Predicament
The cell phone industry finds itself in a difficult situation. It has adamantly denied there are health problems created by cell phone radiation.
You can visit the FDA website and read the government’s position on this whole issue.
“The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.”
How’s that for confidence? Does that statement make you feel absolutely safe about cell phones? Should the FDA be asking for conclusive studies that prove cell phones are safe?
Lessons from History
Remember that it took decades for the government to respond to the early warnings about tobacco, asbestos, and X-Rays. Cell phones haven’t been around for very long and the technology is relatively new.
The tobacco time line:
The health effects of tobacco were first debated in 1856 in the medical journal The Lancet Dr. Isaac Adler suggested lung cancer was related to smoking in 1912 A British medical journal published a study in 1950 finding that smokers were 50 times more likely to get lung cancer It wasn’t until 1997 that tobacco companies agreed to fund healthcare costs from smoking
Thomas Edison noted injuries from X-Rays in 1896 Edison’s assistant died from X-Ray exposure in 1904 Fluoroscopes were used in shoe stores to see through shoes to aid proper fitting in 1930 The deaths of over 200 radiologists from radioactive cancer were published in 1934 Radiation levels of fluoroscopes were questioned in 1949 In 1990 the risk of cancer from radiation was found to be five times greater than previously thought
A British factory inspector warned of asbestos harm in 1898 Rat studies raised questions about harmful effects of asbestos dust in 1911 U.S. insurers refused to cover asbestos worker’s claims in 1918 From 1935 to 1949 lung cancer was reported in asbestos workers Asbestos was finally banned in the U.S. in 1989
The question is this:
Are you willing to see this problem for what it is? If so, are you willing to take appropriate measures to do everything possible to protect yourself and your family from this toxin that is everywhere?
What can we do to protect ourselves? What steps can be taken to minimize our exposure and risk?
First, measures must be taken to maximize the body’s resistance to damage from EMR. This can be done by strengthening our biofield and our immune system to better resist the negative impact of electromagnetic radiation. Second, exposure to EMR must be minimized to decrease the risk.
Increase Resistance to EMR Damage
Good nutrition is essential to building a strong immune system that can resist the effects of electropollution. Eat a healthy diet. This includes eating fresh organic fruits and vegetables every day. Five to nine servings daily of organic fresh fruits and vegetables are recommended. If you eat meat eat free-range hormone-free meat whenever possible. Avoid farm-fed fish. Hydrate adequately. Drink good quality bottled or filtered water. Use glass and ceramic containers whenever possible. Good quality water is essential for energy and for proper detoxification. As a rule of thumb divide body weight by two. This is the number of ounces of water per day a normal healthy individual should consume. Take a high-quality multi-vitamin/multi-mineral product daily. Take extra antioxidants daily to neutralize free radicals produced by EMR. Take Omega-3 oils such as Fish Oil daily. Minimum dose is 3000mg per day. Take melatonin 2-4 mg in a sublingual form before bedtime. Exercise 5 days a week for at least 20 minutes per session. Minimize your exposure to synthetic chemicals, solvents, cleaners and cosmetics. These products are loaded with harmful chemicals that are damaging to the body. Avoid the use of pesticides and insecticides whenever possible.
Minimize Exposure to Reduce Risks
Whenever possible avoid using any type of wireless communication devices such as cell phones, cordless phones, and WiFi connections. When purchasing a cell phone purchase one that has a ‘speakerphone’ feature. Use the speakerphone whenever talking and keep the cell phone away from the head and body whenever the phone is on or in standby mode. Use an “air tube” hands-free headset if your cell phone does not have a speakerphone function. Not just any hands-free headset will work. It must be an “air tube” headset. Turn the cell phone off when not in use and do not sleep with a cell phone on or near the bed. The cell phone emits a signal in stand-by mode even when you aren’t talking. Keep the cell phone at least 6-7 inches away from the body at all times. Don’t carry the cell phone close to the body such as in a pocket or on a belt clip. Don’t talk on a cell phone or cordless phone when pregnant or while carrying a baby or small child. Avoid digital enhanced cordless telecommunications, or DECT, technology. This is often the strongest source of radiation in the home. DECT phones emit radiation continuously, not just while the phone is in use. Don’t talk on a cell phone while in a vehicle, on a train, bus, plane, or subway. These enclosed areas trap radiation and consequently exposure becomes higher in these enclosed metal surroundings. They also impede the signal so your cell phone must use more power to maintain the connection. Use wired and corded telephones. Eliminate cordless phones and WiFi equipment in your home and work environments. Use wired Internet connections instead of wireless routers. If you must use a wireless router turn it off at night or when it is not in use. Pay attention to the signal bars on the cell phone display. Don’t use the cell phone when the signal is weak. The weaker the signal the more power required to maintain the connection. Preferably, only use cell phones in open areas. Keep laptops away from the body and don’t operate a laptop while it rests on the lap. Sit back from computer monitors and screens as much as possible. Keep all electronic devices like alarm clocks, radios and cordless phones at least six feet away from your head during sleep. Avoid waterbeds, electric blankets and metal bed frames. Use a gaussmeter to measure the electrical field inside electrically-powered automobiles. Large electrical cables often run directly under the driver’s seat. Encourage use of fiber optic cable in place of wireless networks in your local municipalities. Wear a personal protection device to strengthen your body’s biofield and increase your resistance to the radiation around you Install intervention technologies and prevention technologies that will “camouflage” or disguise the Information-Carrying Radio Wave from being detected by the body. These should be installed on all electrical and electronic devices, electrical circuits, appliances, cell phones and cordless phones in your home, office and business areas.
Wireless technology is perhaps the greatest convenience of our time. Yet it could also prove to be the greatest toxin we have ever created.
