"Electromagnetic pollution
may be the most significant form of pollution
human activity has produced this century,
all the more dangerous
because it is invisible and insensible."
This powerful and striking statement was made by prominent physician Andrew Weil, MD, best-selling author of eight books, a Harvard Medical School graduate, and internationally recognized expert on medicinal herbs and integrative medicine.
When you read the rest of this report you'll understand why his statement is both accurate and valid.
Facts About Cell Phone Use
- Talking on a cell phone as little as 500 minutes a month can increase the probability of brain cancer by 140% to 300% (1)
Cell phone radiation has been shown to damage and break living DNA (2)- Cell phone radiation causes leakage of the blood-brain barrier allowing toxins to damage sensitive brain tissue (3)
- Cell phones worn by men on a belt clip can reduce sperm count by 30% (4) (5)
- After using a cell phone for six years the risk of developing an acoustic neuroma (tumor of the auditory nerve) increases by 50% (6)
- Cell phone radiation increases estrogen and adrenaline levels in the body disrupting hormonal balance (7)
- A two-minute cell phone call alters a child's brain function for an hour (8) (9)
- Cordless phones have even higher cancer risks than cell phones (10)
The Russians Knew About This A Long Time Ago
Between 1953 and 1976 the Russians directed electromagnetic radiation directly at the US embassy in Moscow.
The radiation was a continual round-the-clock bombardment as the Russians were using this technology in an attempt to listen in on conversations within the US compound. Soon the American embassy staff became ill. The US ambassador to Russia developed leukemia and was forced to return to the United States.
His replacement also developed leukemia and he, too, was replaced. Staff members were continually ill and additionally complained of memory loss, brain fog, loss of focus and insomnia during their stay in the embassy.
"Radio Frequency Sickness Syndrome" was a condition the Russians had earlier identified in experiments. So they weren't surprised to learn of these health problems.
However, this same technology is being promoted today as safe and convenient.
Convenient it may be but safe it is not.
How Do Cell Phones Work?
Cell phones are really just radio transmitters emitting signals through radio waves.
These waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation, or EMR. When the cell phone is turned on it locates itself by broadcasting a series of signals to the cell phone carrier's closest cell phone tower. The carrier then relays that information to the nearest mobile telephone switching office. When making a call the phone sends its data to the carrier's nearest tower, to the switching office and then to the switching office in the area code of the number being called.
Once the connection is made the cell phone's transmitter packages your voice or text data onto a second radio wave that is created for the purpose of transmitting the information. This second wave is called the Information-Carrying Radio Wave, or ICRW. When the call is received by the recipient's switching office a connection is made through the nearest tower that connects the call with your phone.
Through a processor in the phone the digital information signal is converted into an analog signal so a voice can be heard. All this occurs in an average time of four to eight seconds.
Each cell phone contains its own transmitter. The purpose of the transmitter is to encode information onto a radio wave. This radio wave radiates out from the phone's antenna evenly through space. The information being encoded, for example, could be the sound of your voice, the data from your text message or a photo.
The transmitter will then send the encoded wave, with your information or voice, to the antenna and the antenna will then send the signal. The function of the antenna is to propel these radio waves out into space so that a receiver in a nearby cell tower will pick them up.
This makes the antenna the most dangerous part of the phone.
Where The "Cell" In Cell Phone Comes From
Cell phone towers emit signals in a "flower petal" pattern around the tower.
This 360-degree radius around the tower is called a "cell" and this is what the term "cell" in cell phone means. When a cell phone is in a "cell" one usually enjoys good reception. But when the cell phone is not in a "cell" area reception is poor. So for a cell phone company to provide complete coverage cell phone towers and antenna towers must be positioned all across the countryside so that the "cells" overlap one another.
One can begin to see what a huge infrastructure needs to be created to provide complete cell phone coverage. That's why cell phone towers and antenna towers are so prevalent.
And that's why these antennas are installed in so many places like fire stations, schools, churches and rooftops everywhere.
What Exactly Is Cell Phone Radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy consisting of a magnetic field plus an electrical field.
Cell phone radiation is one form of electromagnetic radiation. All electromagnetic radiation falls within a spectrum that can range from extremely low frequency radiation, or ELFs, on the low end, to microwaves, X-Rays and gamma rays at the upper end. For example, electrical power lines and wiring in our homes operate in the 60 Hertz frequency which is found at the low end of the spectrum.
AM radio operates at one megahertz while most cell phones operate in the range of 800 to 2200 megahertz. These frequencies are substantially higher than 60 Hertz. At the high end of the energy spectrum we find X-Rays that operate at more than one million megahertz. This kind of radiation energy is also known as "ionizing" radiation since these radio waves are so powerful that they can break chemical bonds in the body and cause genetic damage.
Radiation at the low end of the spectrum is known as "non-ionizing" radiation and radiation of this kind is generated by such devices as cell phones, cell phone towers, wireless routers, WiFi, etc. This form of radiation is too weak to break chemical bonds and is one reason why many falsely believe that cell phone radiation is harmless.
When the radio wave from a cell phone is oscillating at 800 to 2200 megahertz, (or two thousand two hundred million cycles per second) it is moving much too fast for the body to detect. The body simply cannot recognize a radio wave moving at this speed and thus it moves invisibly through the body without detection.
Radiation moving this fast could only be recognized if it were driven by a very strong source of power. If the power driving a radio wave is of sufficient strength the wave could cause damage through the heating of biological tissue. Since cell phones aren't strong enough to heat biological tissue the mechanism by which cell phone radiation causes harm occurs in a different manner.
This mechanism will be explained in a different section of this report.
Helpful Terms to Understand
Electricity is simply the flow of electrons.
This can occur over a high power transmission line or through wiring in the home or office. Whenever electricity passes through a wire two fields of force are created. One is an electrical field and the other is a magnetic field. In the United States electrical current
