Evidence to the contrary, however, is mounting every day. How Cell Phones Expose You to Dangerous Radiation In essence, your cell phone is a radio. When you talk on your cell phone, your voice is transmitted from the antenna as radio frequency radiation (RFR) between 800 MHz and 1,990Mhz. This frequency falls in the range of microwave radiation and, when you are exposed to it, there is a significant chance you can have serious health consequences. Depending on how close the cell phone antenna is to your head, between 20% and 60% of the radiation emitted by your cell phone is transferred into your head. The radiation actually penetrates the area around your head and is absorbed, with some radiation reaching an inch, to an inch and a half, into your brain. Cell phones are designed to transmit radio waves in all directions because base stations can be located in any direction with respect to phone users. This means that a portion of the radio waves they produce are directed towards your body. The diagram below illustrates how this can occur. EMFs: What You Can't See CAN Hurt You Energy DiagramEMF stands for electromagnetic Field. EMFs are invisible electrical and magnetic forces that radiate from anything operating on an electrical current. Any time an electric current runs through a wire or an appliance, it produces an electromagnetic field. The frequencies at which these fields oscillate vary widely depending on what is emitting them. Again, the frequency of EMFs which cell phones emit are similar to the ones that are emitted by a microwave oven. That's right folks, every time you put you cell phone up to your head, with or without a headset, you are literally cooking the tissue around it, most importantly of which is your brain! Another problem surfaces when you realize that your body has a number of different oscillatory electrical biological and biochemical activities, characterized by a specific frequency. Just as your television is vulnerable to disruption by the frequencies of the EMFs emitted from your computer, your body's own EMFs are vulnerable to disruption from those emitted by your cell phone. Health Problems Caused By Radiation There have been a number of contradictory reports made as to the overall effects cell phones can have on your health. However, a report in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet, considered to be the most comprehensive and well-referenced report on this topic to date, warns that the dangers of cell phones can NOT be dismissed. Combined with the growing body of evidence we are seeing in addition to this study, the information available today, on the dangers of cell phones, gives strong support to the notion that cell phones affect multiple facets of your brain function, behavior and health in general. Specifically, these studies suggest that using cell phones can lead to problems such as: * Headache * Sleep disruption * Neuroepithelial (tissue in the brain) tumors * Alzheimer's Disease * Parkinson's Disease * Altered memory function, concentration and spatial awareness * Other forms of cancer Headsets: Not As Safe As You Thought Since radiation decreases exponentially (one over the square root over the distance between you and you phone) we thought by using a headset so you could hold the phone away from your body would solve the problem. However, recent investigations tell us that headsets may actually intensify your exposure to harmful EMFs emitted by your cell phone. Contrary to popular belief, research conducted by British consumer research magazine Which? has shown that hands-free cell phone kits can significantly INCREASE your brain's exposure to radiation. The findings confirmed claims that that using hands-free earpieces in certain positions could more than TRIPLE your brain's exposure to radiation compared to a conventional cell phone call. By itself, your cell phone headset can act as an antenna that actually channels radiation to your brain. Your Simple Solution to Radiation Dangers Ferrite Beads Order your Ferrite Beads now! So as you now know, the danger of using cell phones is very real. I have known of this for a quite some time now but didn't really have great options to offer. There are two solutions that I have concluded would work and protect you and your family from this radiation: * Speaker phone on your cell phone * Ferrite beads If you are one of the lucky ones that have a cell phone that can work on speaker phone then you already have you solution. You just need to use your speaker phone. This can present a problem though if you are in a noisy environment or it just isn't convenient to use. If this is a case, you can use a ferrite bead attached to your headset as another option. What the Heck is a Ferrite Bead? A ferrite bead is simply a hollow bead or cylinder made of ferrite, which is a semi-magnetic substance made from iron oxide (rust) alloyed with other metals. It is most commonly used with computer cables, where it is slipped over the cable while the cable is being made, or snapped around the cable in two pieces after the cable is made. In a typical computer system, found in a home or office, you will see these " bumps " on the mouse, keyboard and monitor cables. Ferrite Beads on Computer Cables This is a photo of a ferrite bead that is commonly attached to the video cable that runs from your desktop computer to your monitor. If you examine your computer monitor video cable you can see what a ferrite bead (in casing) looks like. Ferrite beads work by reducing the EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio-frequency interference) created by these cables. Without the beads, these cables can act as nice, long antennae for the signals they carry. The signals they broadcast can interfere with radios and TVs, causing the sound and/or picture to go fuzzy. The cables can also receive signals and transmit them into the computer, where they cause problems. A ferrite bead eliminates these " broadcast signals. " Essentially, it " chokes off " the RFI transmission at that point on the cable -- this is why you find the beads at the ends of the cables. Ferrite Beads Really Work Scientifically If you think that these ferrite beads are similar to some of the magical airy fairy new age gadgets promoted to reduce cell phone radiation, think again. These beads are the real deal. Here are two links that you can review to examine the science more carefully. I have to warn you though, if you haven't had college physics or it's been a long while since you took the course, the articles may be a bit challenging. * " Using ferrites for interference suppression, " Elmac Services * " Filtering Out Interference Signals with Cable Ferrites, " Compliance Engineering Magazine Ferrite Beads for Cell Phones In terms of electromagnetic fields and radio frequencies, your brain can literally be viewed as an extremely complex and powerful computer. With this viewpoint in mind, and utilizing your newfound knowledge of the use and function of ferrite beads, it is easy to imagine their potential for use with cell phones. In essence, using a ferrite bead to eliminate the RFI from a computer cable, keeping it from disrupting the function of your TV, is no different than using one to eliminate the RFI from your cell phone that is potentially disrupting to the function of your brain. It is really that simple! If the EMF you are being exposed to from your cell phone is disrupting the function of your body and brain we need nothing more than to block it. A ferrite bead is the simple, inexpensive, yet perfectly effective tool to do so. How Does It Work? As mentioned earlier, when ferrite beads are used in computer cables, they can either be slipped over the cable before it is covered, or clipped on afterwards. I predict that as soon as the importance of utilizing this technology for cell phones is appreciated by the industry, ferrite beads will part of most headsets that is made. Until then, however, you will need to use the second option of clipping them onto previously constructed headset wires. The ferrite beads we offer are specifically designed to do just that! Using the simple instructions described here, the ferrite beads you purchase in our store can easily be used with any headset wire. If you do not yet own a headset, they can be purchased at a special price here, along with a ferrite bead. Protect You and Your Family's Brain Today! If you are a regular cell phone user, this simple bit of technology could literally SAVE YOUR LIFE. As mentioned on my blog, cell phone radiation is no laughing matter. I feel so STONGLY about this issue that I have already purchased ferrite beads for my entire staff and family. USING A FERRITE BEAD IS THE ONLY KNOWN WAY TO EFFECTIVELY PROTECT YOUR CHILD'S BRAIN FROM THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF CELL PHONES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
