Pakistan: Hazards of Using Cell Phone

Hazards of Using Cell Phone
Monday, November 2, 2009

The voluntary exposure of the brain to microwaves from hand held mobile phones is the largest biological human experience ever in which the cell phone users are exposed to electromagnetic radiations. Because we yet do not know the health risks, we must exercise caution. What if you have to use a cell phone.

Don’t allow children to use the phone except in emergencies. Children’s skulls are thinner and their brains contain more fluids than adults. Radio frequencies travel through children’s brains much more easily and therefore increase the risk of cancer. Brain tumors cause more deaths among children than any other forms of cancer. Sydney TV News report.

Malignant brain tumors are the second leading cause of death in children under 15 and young adults under 34. NeuorologyChannel.com.

Don’t let your children keep the cell phone under the pillow. NaturalHealth strategies.com

Avoid using cell phone if you are pregnant. The developing organs of the fetus or child are the most sensitive to any possible effects of the most sensitive electromagnetic radiations exposure. R.B. Herberman M.D. University of Pittsburg Cancer Institute (2008).

Don’t use cell phones with young babies or children on your lap or in your arms.

Just a two minute call on cell phone can alter the natural activity of the brain for up to one hour. Spanish Neuro Diagnostic Research Institute.

The more time you spend talking on your cell phone, the greater your risk of developing brain or eye cancer. Be polite but keep it brief. You may be saving not only money but a life-quite possibly your own. NaturalHealth strategies.com

Regular phones are your safest bet for conversations and work. Use a regular phone as much as possible. The base of a cordless phone emits high level of electromagnetic radiations, even when the phone is not in use. Dr.George Carlo, Medical Alert, Aggravated System Relapses (2008).

By moving the cell phone just 5 cm (approximately 2 inches) away from your head while talking on it, you reduce the EMR that reaches your head by 75%. You cut your EMR exposure to less than 1% by keeping the cell phone over 18 cm (approximately 7 inches) away from any part of your body. NaturalHealth strategies.com.

Avoid carrying cell phone in your pocket, belt or hand. The hip produces 80% of body’s red blood cells and is especially vulnerable to electromagnetic radiations. Close proximity may also affect fertility. Dr.George Carlo, Medical Alert, Aggravated System Relapses (2008).

Body tissue in the abdomen absorbs radiations more quickly than the head. Position cell phone with the keypad facing towards you when you put it in a pouch or hand bag. This way the antenna is facing away from you. NaturalHealth strategies.com.

Avoid Using Wired Headsets

Headsets, including the ear buds that come with most cell phones today, have been shown to act as antennae channeling the electromagnetic radiations directly into the ear canal. Dr.George Carlo, Medical Alert, Aggravated System Relapses (2008).

When you use regular ear buds or ear pieces, you are getting three times more EMR than if you hold the cell phone against your ear, and you are getting it directly into your ear canal, and therefore into your brain. NaturalHealth strategies.com.

Ferrite beads suppress the EMR and dissipate it. In other words, they absorb EMR and convert it into heat. Foe maximum protection, use an air tube headset with a ferrite bead placed as near as possible to the cell phone. NaturalHealth strategies.com.

Use the speaker phone as much as possible. Never hold the phone directly against your head. EMR decreases in direct proportion to the distance the source is from your body.

Avoid using a cell phone while in metal enclosures Vehicles, elevators, air planes, trains, subways and any other metal enclosures. Dr.George Carlo, Medical Alert, Aggravated System Relapses (2008).

Metal enclosures act like a Faraday cage, trapping some of the radiation and reflecting it back upon you and others. Turn your phone off in metal enclosures. NaturalHealth strategies.com.

Make calls when and where you have strong signals. Cell phones automatically increase power output, when the signals weak exposing you to greater EMR.

Avoid making calls when travelling fast. A cell phone automatically increases power when it is moving at high speeds ( such as in a car, train, subway, or plane) as it attempts to connect to the next base station. R.B. Herberman M.D. University of Pittsburg Cancer Institute (2008).

EMR emitted from cell phones and even electric clocks can lower the quality of your sleep. R.B. Herberman M.D. University of Pittsburg Cancer Institute (2008).

Turn your cell phone off at night. The Safe Wireless Initiative also suggests moving your electric alarm clock or clock radio ( this goes for any other electronic or electrical appliances, too) at least 1.80 meters (6 feet) away from your head, or simply using a battery powered alarm clock.

When purchasing a cell phone, buy one with the lowest SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) R.B. Herberman M.D. University of Pittsburg Cancer Institute (2008).

We can’t protect ourselves from all danger, And we don’t want to be fearful, as that’s one more stress, that’s also detrimental to our emotional and physical health.
