First, I want to thank Mr. Grani for sharing his personal story. I believe the dangers of cell phone usage are the 21st Century version of smoking. Remember how medical doctors used to say smoking was harmless? Heck they were even used in advertising, stating that smoking was GOOD for you!

Only decades later, after vehement denials, was the undisputable truth finally accepted -- that smoking does cause lung cancer.

History is now repeating itself. There is ever growing evidence that the information-carrying radio waves transmitted by cell phones and other wireless devices can:

 

Cause brain tumors Harm blood cells and cause cellular changes Damage your DNA Cause nerve-cell damage Accelerate and contribute to onset of autism , and trigger Alzheimer's disease Damage your eyes Cause sleep disruptions, fatigue and headaches

And that's the short list.

Radio Waves Have Reached Critical Mass -- Health Problems Bound to Erupt

Information-carrying radio waves have increased dramatically and exponentially over the last few years. Just think: it took 20 years for the first 1 billion cell phones to be sold -- a milestone reached in 2004. The next billion took just 18 months. The third billion was sold even faster -- just nine months, and we will reach the fourth billion by the end of this year.

Add to that all the wireless networks that are now becoming standard, exposing you to massive amounts of radio waves whether you actually use wireless or not. Most major office buildings now have WiFi, as do Starbuck's, Panera Bread, and most libraries.

The biological danger from WiFi routers, cell phones and land-based portable phones comes from two sources:

 

 

The modulated signals that are carried ON the carrier microwave, and The carrier wave itself

The modulated information-carrying radio waves resonate in biological frequencies of a few to a few hundred cycles per second, and can stimulate your vibrational cellular receptors, causing a whole cascade of pathological consequences that can culminate in fatigue, anxiety and ultimately cancers.

And the carrier wave has been found to create damage NOT related to thermal heat damage, which the industry has long argued is the only possible cause of biological harm (i.e. "radio waves do not create enough thermal heat to pose a risk to biological tissue.") Therefore, simply lowering the SAR rating on cell phones -- which determines how much radiation your body absorbs -- or making sure your phone is within legal SAR limits, will not guarantee your safety by any means.

Your cells will interpret even a minute amount of cell phone radiation as a threat, and shut down. This is a response intended to protect them, but when you talk on a cell phone, it lasts for far longer than your body can handle. A lot of the damage is caused by the disruption microtubular connections that allow biophotons to communicate between cells, which decreases intracellular communication. Increased deposits of heavy metals also begin to accumulate in your cells, which increases intracelluar production of free radicals, and can radically decrease cellular production of energy, thus making you incredibly fatigued.

Once your body's communication system is damaged, it is very easy to develop all sorts of pathologies related to disrupted intracellular antioxidant systems and heavy metal toxicities.

Recent studies have found that cell phone users are 240 percent more prone to brain tumors, and a study back in 2004 found that your risk of acoustic neuroma (a tumor on your auditory nerve) was nearly four times greater on the side of your head where your phone was most frequently held.

Listen, there is VERY solid evidence that the number of brain tumors will increase to 500,000 per YEAR in 2010 -- and will double to 1 million every year by 2015 if the causes are not addressed. Folks, this is the real deal and represents an impending health care crisis.

The Truth No One Wants to Face

There should be no doubt that you are being deceived about the safety of cell phones and WiFi, the same way the public was deceived for decades about tobacco. Back then, large corporate interests were very effective at manipulating the media and legislation to perpetuate the myth that smoking was safe, and nothing has changed in that regard.

The United States protects corporate interests above public health more than ever.

Therefore, your first mistake would be to be fooled by the mainstream media silence.

Remember, the media outlets in the United States are owned by a minuscule SIX corporations. Today, your mind is controlled by Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, Viacom (formerly CBS) and General Electric's NBC. These are the top owners of the entire media industry, which includes everything you read and hear in newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies.

Can you believe what they say?

Not a chance. Because the telecommunication industry, which is even BIGGER than the drug cartel, Big Pharma, have far more influence than the drug companies -- and you already know what heavy-weights they are when it comes to spreading misinformation.

Protect Yourself from the Invisible Danger of EMR

Some individuals believe that relatively expensive fixes like nano polymers (like those used by BioPro) can help, but my initial investigation strongly suggests that this technology protection is only minimally effective, and dissipates rapidly.

Of course, the only real solution is to move our culture away from wireless back to more wired. As for myself, I completely renovated my new home prior to moving in, earlier this year, and part of the project was to put in wired CAT-5 cables so I have no wireless connections at all. We will also be moving into a brand new 25,000 square foot office building in June and we will have absolutely no wireless in the entire building.

I've also learned that most portable home phones are a major source of these information carrying radio waves. The only exception would be the much older, essentially antiquated 900 MHz portable phones. Fortunately they are still readily available online. One of the major differences is that they are only on when in use. The other higher MHz phones are on continuously, bombarding your cells with tissue damaging radiation even when you're not using them.

If you do choose to use a cell phone, use the speakerphone function whenever possible -- and keep the phone about two feet away from any body part. Do not keep the phone on your belt or in your pocket even when you're not using it, as the radiation WILL penetrate your body wherever the phone is attached. Instead, stow it away in a purse, backpack, or your car's glove compartment.

For times when a speakerphone isn't practical, use an air-tube headset, rather than Bluetooth.
