Cell phone dangers

 

Former Motorola Research Scientist Acknowledges Radiation Problem

Robert Kane, PhD., former Motorola Senior Research Scientist and Technical

Staff Member, said this, " Recent research has demonstrated that even

short-term exposure to radiation power densities emanating from a nearby

cellular telephone is sufficient to modify brainwave patterns, affect short-term

memory, and modify an individual’s ability to perform physical tasks such as

driving an automobile. " He went on to say, " The body of available research

indicates that operation of a nearby portable cellular telephone will

expose a non-user to radiation, some of which will be deposited into the brain

of the non-user at levels higher than necessary to elicit undesirable

biological effects even though the phone may be more than ten feet away from

the

non-user. "

Translation: Cell phone radiation bombards you whether you are making calls

yourself or not. You can be driving in your car, eating in a restaurant,

watching a game or attending a concert and you’ll be irradiated from someone

else’s cell phone calls whether you know it or not. There is no escape. It’

s not just the caller’s brain that gets irradiated; it’s everyone around

the caller, too. This information comes straight from one of Motorola’s top

former research scientists.

 

 

Cordless Phones Are More Dangerous Than Cell Phones

Cordless phones are not safer than cell phones. In fact, some published

research has shown that cordless phones are three times more dangerous than

cell phones! (55) Here’s why. A cordless phone utilizes a base station for

its operation. This base station acts like a mini-cell phone tower sitting in

the home or office. The base station continuously emits a pulsing

microwave at full power as long as it’s plugged in to an electrical outlet.

It does

this so that it can maintain a signal with the handset(s). This means that

everyone in thehome or office is exposed to the continual broadcasting of

microwaves whether the phone is in use or not. Newer cordless phones now

use newer technology called DECT technology, which stands for Digital

Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. The signal from a DECT phone broadcasts

at a

2.4 or 5.8 gigahertz transmission continuously. This continuous

transmission of frequencies on DECT phones is what makes them different from

older

models. And since many cordless phones are often placed near the bedside on a

nightstand individuals sleeping near them are constantly being exposed to

a pulsing electromagnetic wave that has an electrical field strength of

about 6.5 volts per meter (56) What’s the significance of this? A New Zealand

study reported a significant increase in both chronic fatigue and sleep

problems in residents living near an AM and FM radio tower (57). The highest

field strength taken from the tower was 2.66 volts/meter, which was

significantly less than that of the DECT cordless phone. Another study from

Schwarzenburg, Switzerland reported that 55% of residents living near a

short-wave

radio transmitter reported symptoms of disturbed sleep and 35% reported

full insomnia. (58) The researches were able to turn the transmitter on and

off on different nights. Symptoms were greatly reduced when the transmitters

were off. The German Federal Radiation Protection Agency stated that a

cordless DECT phone is often the strongest single source of radiation in a

private home. The Frieberger Appeal of October 2002, a document signed by over

130 medical practitioners from the German environmental medicine medical

organization called IGUMED, has called for a ban on DECT phones in

preschools, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and public buildings.

The bottom line is that you are much safer returning to the use of wired

landline phones.

Cell Phones Radiation Is a Source of Stress

In addition to the stress of continual mental interruption cell phones can

cause a physical stress response in the body. When the body experiences a

stress event the " flight or fight " response is triggered. Certain stress

hormones are released from the adrenal glands, the first of which is

adrenaline. Most of us are familiar with the effects of adrenaline: rapid heart

rate, increased energy level, increased blood pressure, muscle contraction,

rapid breathing, etc. These effects are not harmful if they only occur for a

short period of time. But what about a stress response that continually

releases adrenaline such as that occurring from constant exposure to cell phone

radiation? Obviously, this would not be healthy over a long period of

time. The second chemical released in the stress response by the adrenal gland

is a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol is the body’s natural form of

cortisone. It is necessary for many maintenance functions of everyday life.

When

our bodies are chronically stressed increased amounts of cortisol are

released. Consequently, high amounts of cortisol suppress the immune system,

blood sugar levels rise and insomnia can occur. Finally, after long-term

continual stress responses the adrenal glands become tired and fatigued.

Consequently, the ability to respond to stress situations appropriately becomes

compromised. Irritability, fatigue, anger, road rage, high blood pressure,

loss of blood sugar control, decreased thyroid function and weight gain are a

few of the many symptoms that can result from this conditi

I am curious if this is only when the cell phone is being used or when it is

left on and in someone's pocketbook... Has anyone done research on this or know

any info on this? You see, I leave my pocketbook on the same table that some of

my cats sleep on. My cell phone is rarely used, but is always turned on. Is it

still producing radiation while in my pocketbook turned on? If so, I am moving

where I place my pocketbook at night. Thanks a bunch, Meo

The Bad part is the phone is only one emitter of 1000s of sources of same

spectra, many buildings, including apartments and homes next to cell towers or

similar sources. Most of us at work, in same distance, are within 10 phones of

fellow employees or customers for most of our days. 50% of homes use wireless

internet or phones up to 5Ghz. Where your phone is while sleeping is more

peace of mind as time least exposed to others. The Digital phones tend to

produce less energy, the CMDA phones used by Verizon and few others in US are

more powerful and use batteries at higher rates.

 

 

 

The push now with Internet & TV over phone has tripled exposure in addition

transmitted data spectra. The FCC used 9-11 to say they were giving TV Analog

bandwidth used in the Digital conversion to Law & fire agencies, while having

billion dollar auctions to the Phone companies and wireless data providers they

sell as 3G 4G phones…. This was a deal of the century for the FCC and only few

ever knew the marketing a hoax of the public. The I-Phone and other wireless

internet devices of the new generation are glued to these people as an

integrated part of life and a dangerous trend to come.

 

 

 

Motorola has failed at every business not employed in some way in government,

the note that this scientist is separated from them reason information coming

forth and he may have walked a tightrope of legal issues to retain his freedom

of speech. I wish more were as forthcoming from all industry as partners in

care humankind.

 

Thank you

I am not the original person who sent this. However, I can tell you right now

that yes if it is turned on then it is radiating that power and frequency. I

don't care how often you use it. As long as it is on, it is affecting everything

in your environment. It couldn't do that if it was off though..... not to my

knowledge. - Rob

as long as it is on, there will always be radiation...
