We humans are slowly learning about
the detrimental effects from our cell phones, WiFi, microwave ovens, power
poles, transformer lines, mis-wired electricity, smart meters and more.
What Is Your Cellphone Doing to You?
Big
controversy! The World Health Organization has declared that cell phone radiation may
be linked to brain cancer. (www.jenniferzumbrink.com/)
This declaration by the World Health Organization put cell
phones and other wireless devices in a class 2b possible human carcinogen (same
class as DDT and chloroform). http://centerforsaferwireless.us/web/main/index.php/wireless-devices/cell-phones
In October, 2012, the Italian Supreme Court recognized a
‘causal’ link between heavy mobile phone use and brain tumor risk in a worker’s
compensation case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_radiation_and_health.
My testing meter showed that my home office had high levels
of microwaves—which is a subset of radio frequencies. It was caused from our neighbor’s WiFi
router. So I moved my computer and desk
to a little room in our home that registered no blasting at all of the detrimental
microwaves.
Then one day I got out my testing meter and checked this
little room. I was devastated. Not only did the meter register waves of over
10, which means it was getting into the danger zone, it measured over
2,000! That is 2,000 microwatts per meter
squared. I took my computer into the
kitchen where the readings are always under ten. I fussed and fumed and decided the neighbors
had moved their WiFi router to be next to my little room.
When I walked back into that room, I noticed my cell phone was
there. Since I always keep it on
airplane mode, it doesn’t emit any microwaves.
Just to be sure, I checked it.
Whoops, it was not on airplane mode.
It was my cell phone, and not the neighbor’s WiFi router that was
blasting out the microwaves. So I turned
my cell phone on to airplane mode, brought my computer back into the little
room, and sighed in relief.
If you have a smart phone, turned on, and it is within six
feet of you right now, it is probably messing with your immune system as you
read this. It would be a good idea right
now to put it on airplane mode or turn it off, and then read a more complete
list of solutions below.
Solutions to microwaves blasting from
a cell phone:
I
use a smart phone and I text, so as much as possible I follow this protocol:
Use
speaker phone whenever possible, instead of putting the phone to your ear.
Keep your phone
encased in shielding material or a phone shield. Click on 'Buy shielding for EMF issues'. (I receive a small referral fee if you buy through the link - or if you buy over the phone and tell them you were referred by Katie Lawson's blog.)
If you use a
headset, the airtube type is considered safe.
All others are not, as they have a wire that sends the radiation from
the phone to your ear, head and brain. Here’s
one article online:
Keep
your phone on ‘airplane mode’ or
else keep it at least six feet away
from any part of your body whenever possible.
If
you need to hold it to your ear, make the call as short as possible.
If
the signal is weak, move to a location that has a strong signal before
calling. The weaker the signal, the
stronger the radiation.
Don’t
use the phone in the car, except in emergencies. A metal container, such as an automobile, can
act as a Faraday cage, causing the emitting radiation to be stronger inside the
vehicle.
Volkswagen of
Europe has warned that cell phone usage inside a car can be ‘injurious to health
due to the extremely high electromagnetic fields’.
Text,
instead of calling whenever possible.
Text more, talk less. Even
better, whenever possible, talk to the person in person.
Try
this: While your cell phone is on
‘airplane mode’ write your texts and click ‘send’. THEN take it off ‘airplane mode’ to send the
texts. As soon as they are sent, put
your phone back on airplane mode.
If
you need your cell phone to check the time of day or to use the alarm clock,
put it on ‘airplane mode’. Most cell
phones can do everything on ‘airplane mode’ except make and receive calls and
go online. Experiment with yours to see
all the things you can accomplish while on ‘airplane mode’.
Keep
your phone turned off completely as much as possible.
And of course, don’t call or text
while driving—ever. A
local story I remember from a few years ago:
A teenage driver glanced down at her phone to read a text she had just
received. In that instance, she drove
off the road, crashed and died. The text
message—“Just wondering what you’re
doing right now.”
