Most people today carry a cell phone and wouldn't be without one in their day to day businesses. But knowing what the dangers are and what you can do to protect yourself and /or your loved ones can prevent major illnesses, pain and suffering.
Cell phones are more toxic and more carcinogenic than tobacco. Cell phones emit 3 types of radiation
- Antenna emits radio frequencies and microwaves
- Circuitry and battery emits extremely low frequencies
Approximately 20-80% of the radiation from the antennae penetrates up to 2 inches into the brain. Cell phones carried in belts expose other areas of the body to harmful EMF’s. Children are extremely vulnerable- 50% more radiation is absorbed by a 10 year old than an adult due to their thin skulls, smaller heads and developing nervous systems.
Cell Phone Radiation:
In Japan, legislation is being introduced to ban their use in restaurants. There are 203 million Americans using cell phones and over 2.13 billion worldwide users – and each year the numbers rise- it’s the most popular item known to man.
It’s a multi-billion dollar wireless communications industry. Never have we seen a technology grow so rapidly and so profoundly in transforming the global village. By 2010- 90% of the world’s population will have mobile phones and wireless internet.
Cell phones can create microwave like effects on the human body when used in a train or an elevator as in a metal box. The microwaves bounce off, in around and through the train, like food being cooked in a microwave oven. You are bombarded with the phone off and worse when the phone is on.
Dr. George Carlo, an epidemiologist, lawyer, chief scientist who headed the world’s largest research effort into wireless safety, also co-author with journalist Martin Schram of "Cell Phones: Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age" pointed out 4 major findings in his research:
1. cell phones interfere with pacemakers
2. developing skulls of children are penetrated deeply by the energy emitted from a cell phone,
3. the blood brain barrier which prevents invasion of the brain by toxins can be compromised by the cell phone radiation, and most startling,
4. radio frequency radiation creates micronuclei in human blood cells, a type of genetic damage known to be a diagnostic marker for cancer.” Found in cell phone users!!
In totalling all of our modern day exposures - We are exposed to 200,000,000 times more EM fields in our environment today than our ancestors. This is WAY more than our circuits can handle.
EMF is classified as a Group 2B carcinogen under standards established by the World Health Organization’s Agency for Cancer Research. The chemicals DDT and lead are also Group 2B carcinogens. ( Source: National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences)
It's becoming a mounting problem...
EMF's or Electro-Smog is the # 1 Pollutant- They are invisible, silent and ubiquitous.
In fact, more studies exist showing the adverse effects of EMF's (electromagnetic fields) than there are studies showing risks for cancer by smokers. In May 2006, the London Observer reported the growing concern about what it called the 'invisible smog' that has been created by the 'electricity that powers our civilization'.
Scientific evidence showed that this was:
- giving children cancer
- causing miscarriages
- suicides
- making some people allergic to modern life
