(2/2011) Book Review: Wireless Radiation Rescue

Review By Susan Schenck

The book Wireless Radiation Rescue is jam-packed with shocking information about how we are bombarded with toxic electro-pollution from cell phones, wireless computers, microwave ovens, and more. The author, Kerry Crofton, PhD, is a health educator, the director of WellBeing International, and a concerned parent. She claims that after being a health educator for over 30 years, she has “never faced an issue as challenging, and personally unsettling, as this one.” She makes her case that our government standards are “way out of line with science,” clearly not up-to-date with all the research being done in Europe, where things are getting much more stringent than here. 

Remember, doctors once recommended cigarettes, and it took many decades to prove that they were dangerous. Are you going to let your children become victims of technology in the meantime?

The book includes a four step plan: Step 1: Learn the evidence. Step 2: Find safer solutions. Step 3: Get an action plan. Step 4: Find hope for the future. At the end is a resource section. The book also includes a survey of symptoms to see how much you are being affected by all this pollution. Don’t let the 421 pages daunt you; there are lots of charts and photos, the print is big with spaces between paragraphs, and it’s an easy read for all and any.

I found the evidence section riveting, and read those first 124 pages in one sitting, so shocked by the many tidbits of info that I couldn’t put it down. For example, even electric hybrid cars are toxic as you are sitting close to a powerful unshielded battery. And if you microwave a cup of water for three minutes, the water can set off the radiation detector, even after you remove it from the oven! Energy efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs emit toxic “dirty electricity.” It also surprised me to learn that cordless phones are almost as bad as cell phones! Even ultrasounds can be harmful to the baby.

Bees are dying, birds are unable to migrate, and wildlife as well as domesticated animals are at risk. Also very scary: insurance companies refuse to insure cell phone companies for law suits related to health damage—and as much as 30% of retirement fund shares are invested in the telecommunications industry, which could be a disaster for retirees.

What is all of this electromagnetic radiation doing to us? Studies conclude that it damages our DNA, suppresses our immune system, causes leakage in the blood-brain barrier, and thickens the blood.

As the photos on the back book cover illustrate, children and teens are much more vulnerable to radiation than adults are, since their brains are still forming. Yet schools continue getting wireless internet  because it costs less than cable. And think of all those teens using their cell phones for hours every day! Since it can take a decade or more for cancer to show up, doctors who are in the know worry that we are headed for a major disaster.

The author offers solutions: go back to the wires! For example, get land phones and cable internet. Don’t live anywhere near phone towers. If you must use a cordless phone, put it on speaker and keep it as far away as you can. Don’t let your kid do much “gaming,” which has proven to be addictive like drugs. (The EMR opens the blood-brain barrier in the same way that alcohol and drugs do!) Some of the solutions involve lifestyle changes. Get back into nature! Start socializing with people face to face instead of on facebook.

Highly recommended reading for anyone who isn’t stuck in the mid 20^th century.
