Mobile Phone PRotection

Reports of severe headaches, tinnitus, increasing levels of sickness, blood infections, even depression coming from our police forces who use high powered Tetra phones, or reports of immune system and sperm count declines, or melatonin inhibition, are very worrying says Chris Woollams (Icon UK)

Lloyd Morgan, the Director of the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States, states that, “It is my contention, based solely on my reading of the scientific literature to date, that human exposure to cell phones poses a major health threat”. Their recommendations are clear:

1. Use a headset with a cell phone. Keep them off, except when you wish to
   make a call or to find out who has called (a pager can be used for those that feel they must be reachable at all times).
2. Parents should deny use of cell phones to all children less than 18 years of age.

The UK Government currently advises mobile phone users to keep their call times short. And children under the age of 16 should use mobile phones for essential calls only because their head and nervous systems are likely to still be developing.

In February 2006, a study by Dr. Lennart Hardell and colleagues showing statistically significant increases in the risk of benign brain tumors, especially acoustic neuromas, following the use of mobile telephones.
There was also significantly greater long-term risk: concluding that there was a statistically significant increased risk associated with having used mobile phones for more than 15 years, a finding ‘consistent with other studies showing that risks dramatically increase after six and ten years of use’

Where there is doubt, and where there is quality research from expert scientists expressing concerns, we believe it is idiocy to wait and wait until something is 100 per cent proven or the mechanism fully understood. Frankly it may never happen.

So what can we do:

• You should consider not carrying a phone that is turned on. Perhaps you should only turn it on twice per day to pick up messages. You might simply use the text facility.
• You should avoid having it next to your head while the connection is being made. You might choose to use a ‘phone with a built in loudspeaker – there is some evidence that you can reduce your personal exposure by not having the phone anywhere near your head when the connection is being made, then pushing the loudspeaker facility as soon as it is connected – exposure levels reduce geometrically; i.e. a doubling of the distance reduces absorption fourfold. There is also some evidence that ‘headsets/bluetooth’ etc reduce personal exposure.
• You can always choose not to use a mobile phone.

Consider protecting yourself with advanced technology bracelets as a non-invasive method of applying magnetic fields to the body, including:

• Unipolar Neodymium Magnets to emit a stronger magnetic field than standard magnets;
• Ceramic Inserts specifically designed to produce Far Infrared Rays with a frequency identical to the sun spectrum's greatest output;
• Negative Ions to recreate the feeling of standing by a waterfall;
• and Germanium with a diamond-like crystal structure and a unique response to infrared light.
