Watch This! The Top 10 cell phone radiation emitters!

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 05:13:00 GMT

The Environmental Working Group has just released a list of the top 10 worst cell phones in terms of radiation. Here's the story as it was covered on CNN.

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2009/09/15/todd.cell.phone.risk.cnn

Remember, if you absolutely must use a cell phone, make sure you use an air tube headset. It's the only way proven to protect yourself from potentially cancer-causing EMF's.

You know when the Government get's involved. . .

Well, the Senate held hearings, that's Good. At least they're making some effort to do something. They're letting the general public know, there is something to be concerned about. There's a good recap in this newspaper, so please do check out the
Philadelphia Bulletin, then, one more time, take care of yourself--that phone might not give you brain cancer but there certainly NO reason your body can benefit by being subjected to any radiation. You don't put your head up to a microwave, so use that same wisdom when it comes to your cell. BE HEALTHY!!! Feel Good.

Dr. says cell phones + kids = cancer

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 07:02:00 GMT

A group of scientists is urging 6 major countries to impose strict safety standards for kids and cell phones. This all came about after a study was published linking cell phone use with kids under 20, to a five-fold risk increase in brain cancer. You can link to the story here--but meanwhile MAKE sure that one of your rules for your kids: Speaker phone OR Aircom hollow tube headset!

To you health! THE STORY

Cell Phone Dangers--Research Summary

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 05:10:00 GMT

Ivanhoe.com is a great resource to keep you up to date on the latest research in conventional medicine.
Interestingly, for the last two weeks in a row, one of the top stories on the site has been about the dangers of using cellphones. As you'll see below, the scientific answer to the risk: Talk less! Or, use an aircom headset!

CLEVELAND (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- More than 3 billion people have them worldwide. More than 90 percent of the Western world uses them. Americans average about 13 hours a month talking on them. However, there are some downsides to using that device we just can't seem to get enough of.

Men: beware! A new study shows cell phone usage may be linked to infertility problems.

"There was degradation in the quality of the sperm in the group which was exposed to the cell phone for one hour," Ashok Agarwal, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Reproductive Medicine at The Cleveland Clinic, told Ivanhoe.

Men who used their cell phones for more than four hours per day had the lowest quality of sperm.

Another recent study showed heavy cell phone use is linked to a 50-percent increased risk for developing tumors of the salivary gland.

Studies show it takes twice as long for a person to fall asleep after talking on a cell phone for just 30 minutes.

Here's another downside: You could get what doctors call "mobile phone dermatitis" or a rash in reaction to the nickel in some cell phones.

Your hands aren't free of risk either. Those who send a lot of texts may be at risk for blackberry thumb -- sore digits from overuse and repetition.

Experts recommend using hands-free devices and when talking, holding the phone away from the body. Less frequent calls that are shorter in duration may also be a good precautionary step.

Let's see, low sperm count, tumors, lack of sleep and dermatitis. Let's avoid all that and get smarter about protecting ourselves from EMF's!

Some say YES, some say MAYBE NOT

This is really amazing. And it actually happens almost everyday. Somewhere, some News company shares a story and lands on one side of the scary, raging, radiation debate. Look at this- 3 newspapers 3 different cellphone viewpoints. As you read these, think about how long the tobacco industry claimed cigarettes were "safe".

Ringing the Cellphone Alarm tells Moms and Dads to be very careful about their kids using cellphones. This story of of caution is from a reporter who has been following the issue for 15 years.

The other Cell phone a boon for schools talks about how the cell phone industry and the American Cancer Foundation say that cell phones are unlikely to cause cancer as the article gets super excited about the money the towers parked in the schools' backyard will bring in. The principal actually is quoted saying it's like CHRISTMAS!

Counter that with this story about an nursing home's REFUSAL to allow the cellphone towers on THEIR roof. Roselyn Board denies Cell Phone towers

Yep. Opinions. Mine is Better Safe Than Sorry!

Cell phone Melanoma--a FIRST for this Laguna Dr.

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 03:53:00 GMT

Here's a personal story: I took one of my headsets in to show my longtime ENT and very much respected local physician Dr. Kent Combs. We talked about the Aircom and the earbud. I asked what he thought about it and he said it seemed like a good idea. I told him how Bluetooths we're very scary and suspect as they are continually sending at albiet "weaker" signal--but still the signal is somewhat constant--He said he had actually seen his FIRST melanoma in the ear--ON a BLUETOOTH user!! Please don't use the Bluetooths or Jabra's. They are a risk not worth taking.

Cell phone Rash

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 21:07:00 GMT

Here's another issue with the cell phones--The Association of British Dermatologists warns against a rash caused by nickel in mobile phones: MSNBC reports. Good news: There's no nickel in the RF3 hollow tube headsets!

Are cell phones bad or not? Do the "experts" know? Do you?

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 04:14:00 GMT

A report came out in the latest Economist discussing a big study multi-year study on the health effects of cell phones. The study took place in 14 countries around the world, started in 2000 and ended in 2006. The issue with the Interpool study is that it produced a lot of contradictory data because of some flawed research. You can hit the link at the end of the story here and read it yourself. But basically what it says to me is that so far, we're on our own. The Government or a Scientific watchdog organization is not going to jump out and defend or protect us or our kids just yet.

It's up to me, it's up to you. It's our choice you put the phone up to our ears. It's our choice to use it. It's a definite fact that the cell phone emits emfs-electromagnetic fields. Its a fact that they are they are "microwaves" and that they are a type of "radiation." You can see the waves of radiation when you watch the videos on this site. You can see how the meters pick them up--just like the ones coming out of the microwave oven. We know that these waves definitely alter our biochemistry. We just don't know(for the "experts" that this altered biochemistry then goes on to produces any one of the various scary labels: cancer, infertility, aneurysms, ADD, Parkinsons, etc.

So doesn't it make sense to play it safe--rather than be sorry?

I just cut a video showing a dirty glass of water next to a clean one-- Sure you can drink the dirty one and you may or you may not get sick. But if you choose the clean clear water, chances are much better that you won't get sick and you'll just feel better about the water your drinking--or your family's drinking. Likewise, you can put the cell phone to your ear and experience all those "waves" of radiation going into your head and something--some damage--may or may not happen. But if you use a headset with an airtube that's PROVEN to stop those radio/microwaves from getting into your ear, then, just like the clean, clear water, you feel better and you are certainly safer.

Here's the story from the Economist

kids and Cell Phones Risk of Cancer. Real or fake?

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 17:01:00 GMT

Moms and Dads are coming to this blog now--looking for information. Report after report all over the world, including a recent one from ABC7, "Cell phone use by kids increases risk of brain cancer by five times." I wouldn't panic--I' would do something. MAKE your kids use the speakerphone. Watch the videos 1-, or this one , both show the radiation coming out of the phone! Both show the ONLY thing that works--other than speaker-is a hollow tube headset. It comes in a stereo for the iphone/blackberry and then universal with one earpiece which fits almost all phones. Explore this site, read the other blogs. I've done my research!!!

Details:Cell phones increase cancer risk to kids fivefold

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 06:16:00 GMT

I'm just so concerned about the recent report that Children have a five fold greater risk for brain cancer and tumors from cell or mobile phone usage that I've explored it even more. The news was reported yesterday from London to Sydney about research analyzed and summarized at the Radiation Research Trust International Conference held in the UK September 8th and 9th.

The Radiation Research Trust is a non-profit in the UK set up to educate, research, lobby and campaign in Europe for emf safety. This year they gathered major players from degreed engineers to notable physiologists, Research Doctors, Medical Doctors, Lawyers and dignitaries all with a focus on electromagnetic energy and what the spill off is doing to our bodies and our environment. You can check this link and read the impressive biographies of the speakers at this invitation only event.

One of the speakers,Professor Lennart Hardell of the University Hospital in Orebro, Sweden presented the report about children's risk of brain cancer and tumors being five times higher if they've grown up using a cell phone. I'm sure there will be more and more of the findings and conclusions from this symposium made public in the next few weeks. Please check back and I'll share this information as it comes. Meanwhile if you want to read the link to the London Independent here it is.

Cell phones/infertility emfs can hurt fertility--oh no!

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 05:42:00 GMT

This just in--the latest issue of Fertility and Sterility(a medical journal) has just published a study on how emfs effect sperm.

Basically, here's a recap: Sperm count decreases as cell phone use increases. Oh no! The results we're not completely clear, but they conclude that one possible culprit could be the energy generated by a cell phone. "If they're operating the phone near their waist, it could raise the temperature of the testes slightly," says Ashok Agarwal, Ph.D., HCLD, Director of Research at the Reproductive Research Center at Cleveland Clinic and one of the study's investigators. "A slight increase in temperature could result in a decreased sperm condition." Now remember--every cell phone gives off emf's --specifically radiation through the radio/microwaves used to establish and send signal. Dr. Agwari recognizes this and goes on to say," . . .another possible explanation is that holding a cell phone near the ear for extended periods of time could expose the hypothalamus -- a region of the brain that helps govern metabolic and autonomic functions -- to excessive electromagnetic energy, possibly affecting the hormones governing sperm production.

Oh dear, two ways that this unnatural radiation--emf exposure-- we're getting is effecting the way our healthy bodies should work. But not to worry--too much. We know what to do: 1. Hook up your phone to a hollowtube, airtube, safe headset that will prevent that radiation from getting close to your head.(which you can get here at emfreview.com 2. Set that phone 2' away from you so that the rest of your body is subjected to less and less exposure.

That way those sperms can swim around in an emf-free enviroment, happy, strong ready to do their part in the making of healthy happy babies! Ahhh I feel better already. Here's a summary from the Cleveland Clinic

cell phones increase children's risk of brain cancer by five times!!!

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 05:44:00 GMT

A fivefold projected increase in brain cancer is predicted for kids who use cell phones or mobile phones. This is not good news--but you have the power to do something about it--to take action. Now. Right now. IF you're adolescent or teenager has a cell phone, immediately insist that they either use the speakerphone, text or the use the ONLY handsfree headset that is proven to STOP the radiation from getting up to their brains. AND read the other tips on this site from Protect Your Family. This is serious and medical research is proving it: Here's the excerpt from September 21 London Independent reporting on a recently released medical study showing that kids using cell phones will have five times the increased risk in brain cancer and tumors from using cell phones and mobile phones at an early age:

The Swedish research was reported this month at the first international conference on mobile phones and health.

It sprung from a further analysis of data from one of the biggest studies carried out into the risk that the radiation causes cancer, headed by Professor Lennart Hardell of the University Hospital in Orebro, Sweden. Professor Hardell told the conference – held at the Royal Society by the Radiation Research Trust – that "people who started mobile phone use before the age of 20" had more than five-fold increase in glioma", a cancer of the glial cells that support the central nervous system. The extra risk to young people of contracting the disease from using the cordless phone found in many homes was almost as great, at more than four times higher.

Those who started using mobiles young, he added, were also five times more likely to get acoustic neuromas, benign but often disabling tumours of the auditory nerve, which usually cause deafness.

By contrast, people who were in their twenties before using handsets were only 50 per cent more likely to contract gliomas and just twice as likely to get acoustic neuromas.

Professor Hardell told the IoS: "This is a warning sign. It is very worrying. We should be taking precautions." He believes that children under 12 should not use mobiles except in emergencies and that teenagers should use hands-free devices or headsets and concentrate on texting. At 20 the danger diminishes because then the brain is fully developed. Indeed, he admits, the hazard to children and teenagers may be greater even than his results suggest, because the results of his study do not show the effects of their using the phones for many years. Most cancers take decades to develop, longer than mobile phones have been on the market.

The research has shown that adults who have used the handsets for more than 10 years are much more likely to get gliomas and acoustic neuromas, but he said that there was not enough data to show how such relatively long-term use would increase the risk for those who had started young.

He wants more research to be done, but the risks to children will not be studied in the MTHR study, which will follow 90,000 people in Britain. Professor David Coggon, the chairman of the programmes management committee, said they had not been included because other research was being done on young people by a study at Sweden's Kariolinska Institute.

He said: "It looks frightening to see a five-fold increase in cancer among people who started use in childhood," but he said he "would be extremely surprised" if the risk was shown to be so high once all the evidence was in.

But David Carpenter, dean of the School of Public Health at the State University of NewYork – who also attended the conference – said: "Children are spending significant time on mobile phones. We may be facing a public health crisis in an epidemic of brain cancers as a result of mobile phone use."

Thank you, check back often and stay healthy!!

Powerwatch UK: Medical studies on cell phones

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 07:33:00 GMT

I am convinced that it's better to be safe than sorry. We're waiting for the time when everyone knows it's not good to be exposed to radiation from a cell phone, a cordless phone, a microwave, a wifi or even emf's from electrical equipment. Until then, we'll keep you apprised of all the information that's currently pointing us to a smart attitude of reasonable caution. There's a group in London called Powerwatch. Powerwatch is a non-profit independent organisation with a central role in the UK Electromagnetic Field and Microwave Radiation health debate. They work closely with decision-makers in government and business, and with other like-minded groups, promoting policies for a safer environmentThey have been researching electromagnetic field effects on health for the last 20 years, and provide a range of information to help the general public understand this complex issue.

They present the research summaries and then they talk about who's protesting the results and why. It helps you make an informed decision. There's alot on the site about cell phone and cell phone towers. I feel more confident then ever that you need to use one of the radiation preventing headsets I sell in the emfreview.com store.

You can also learn about the concerns you should have about your microwave. I just added a new video demonstrating how three meters work and how they can show you if your microwave is leaking. Even if it's not, don't stand closer than 3 feet to it when it's on--because some radiation in the form of mircowaves is always getting out. It's impossible to block them completely. Check out the meter test and then take a look at Powerwatch in the UK

emf's and female hormones

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 06:39:00 GMT

Although here in America, we hear over and over again, that there is no conclusive evidence that the radiation or emf's from cell phones, can hurt us--I find almost daily news from other countries warning us to watch out. Look at this, posted on a site in Germany--it's a study from China. To recap: Women exposed to high frequency emfs have a higher incidence of menstrual disorders and a decrease in levels of reproductive hormones. Another reason to stay away from the microwave, the wireless AND the cell phone--put it on speaker or use a hollowtube air tube headset! We can stay safe and avoid the mobile phone radiation and FEEL BETTER!!!

Cedars Sinai

Okay--one more Dr--a neurologist from Cedars Sinai agrees that kids should not use cell phones without a headset. He's right--but still so many experts aren't getting the point that it has to be an Airtube or Hollow Tube headset. The tube of air stops the radiation from getting up to the brain. It's so simple, it's really quite amazing. I know it. I have tried the other headsets--you'll see them in my Product Review section. Other headsets, even with a ferrite bead just don't work consistently. I check the radiation with a meter and sometimes it registers even higher than right by the phone itself. Newsweek reports that Dr. Keith Black is waiting to see the research and holding firm until then--his kids will not use the phone up to their ear: NEWSWEEK
