11 Cell Phone Safety Tips to Minimize Radiation Exposure
“The voluntary exposure of the brain to microwaves from hand-held mobile phones… [is] the largest human biological experiment ever.”
~ Professor Leif Salford, Head of Research at Lund University, Sweden
The BIG Question! Are we on the verge of a health crisis of epidemic proportions due to lack of cell phone protection?
Scientists and Doctors agree that this emerging time of wireless technology is wreaking havoc on our health as a nation and a world. An estimated 30-50,000 cases annually worldwide, of brain and eye cancer are being attributed to cell phone use. WiFi is now also under scrutiny. Dr. George Carlo, former chief scientist of the cell phone industry’s $28 million safety research project, predicts 500,000 new cases of brain and eye cancer each year by 2010 attributable to cell phone use.
What are the risks involved with wireless technologies?
You, your family, children and pets are all at significant risk. Children are of particularly high risk due to their thin and still forming skulls and nervous systems.
“Brain Tumors Now Cause More Deaths Among Children than Any Other Forms of Cancer.” According to a Sydney TV News Report. You can also watch a special video report, “The Invisible Dangers of EMF Radiation”.
Recent studies reveal that cell phone use and WiFi technology are linked to health problems. Invisible radiation from cell phones, microwaves, computers, cordless phones, electrical wiring in homes and office buildings and more are all contributors to health problems such as: neck and shoulder pain, headaches, brain tumors, high blood pressure, cancer, brain and eye tumors, Alzheimer’s, and more.
Can Cell Phone Radiation Causes Cancer?
Do you use a cell phone? Most people do. In fact, they have pretty much become something that no one can live without. No matter where you go, someone is talking into their cell phone, or has it shoved up against their head, listening. Unfortunately, those who use cell phones may be getting a little more than they bargain for. Cell phones emit something called electromagnetic radiation. This is a low, pulsing energy that can actually interfere with our cells.
Different studies have been done that link this radiation to brain tumors, cancer, and other health conditions. In fact, in one study done with mice, the incidence of cancer and tumors was higher when the mice were exposed to electromagnetic radiation than when they were not. Many other studies have been done, and they all point to the fact that cell phone radiation causes cancer and other problems with our bodies. The interesting thing to note is that when you hold the phone to your ear, the electromagnetic radiation can reach up to the middle of your brain. This puts your brain at risk! This is why there have been numerous brain tumors that are present on the side of the brain that gets exposed. That is scary news.
So, what can you do? You have become accustomed to using your cell for everything from business to staying in touch with the people you love. You are not going to give it up very easily. On the other hand, you don’t want brain tumors either. Well, here are some tips you can use to protect yourself and your family.
Overview On Cell Phone Radiation
Cell phones produce electromagnetic radiation. Cell phones discharge certain signals known as radio frequency energy, a form of electromagnetic radiation. There is lot of news these days as to whether cell phones emit radiation which affects our health. Cell phones are placed close to our head which results in direct radiation to the head. Ionizing and Non-Ionizing radiation are the two types of electro magnetic radiation. Radiation can damage human tissue if exposed to high levels of radio frequency radiation. Some of the health problems that can arise due to cell phone radiation are Cancer, Brain tumors, Alzheimer, Fatigue and Headache. According to a survey, higher levels of cell phone radiation can heat biological tissue and cause damage such as burns.
In U.S. every cell phone model is tested and meets FCC standards before it is sold in the market. SAR (specific absorption rate) is a way of measuring the quantity of radio frequency energy that is absorbed by the body. A cell phone or cordless phone should have less than 1.6 watts per kilogram SAR level.
Some of the highest radiation cell phones in United States are as follows: Motorola V195s has 1.6 SAR level. Motorola ZN5, VU204, W385, i335 have 1.59, 1.55, 1.54 and 1.53 SAR levels. Some of the lowest radiation cell phones in United States are as follows: Samsung Eternity SGH-A867, SGH-G800, Soul, Innov8, SHG-T229, and SGH-i450 have 0.194, 0.23, 0.24, 0.287, 0.383 and 0.457 have SAR levels.
