Your Cellphone is Damaging Your Health

It is known that wireless devices have negative health effects.

Deep within some manufacturer’s product literature you will find warnings to maximize distance and minimize the time using their products. Insurance companies refuse to cover manufacturers and wireless carriers because they know more and more claims are on the horizon.
A health crisis resulting from wireless communications is happening now and will become readily apparent in the next decade. Become aware and learn to heal and protect from this serious threat.
Governments and industry suggest ‘there is no known mechanism’ by which wireless radiation can cause cancer, but this is based on a misunderstanding. The paradox is this: studies show consistently that wireless radiation creates free-radicals in the body and the number of epidemiological studies linking EMF’s and cancer are growing in number and strength. Yet still, the industry insists ‘there is no known mechanism.’
Paradoxes ultimately highlight where our thinking or language is excessively reductive, omissive, or intentionally obfuscated. This case is no different. Let us be very clear: there are many known mechanisms by which wireless radiation can cause cancer and other health issues.

Wireless communications use rapidly oscillating electric and magnetic fields that interact in each cell of our body.

The electric and magnetic fields cycle billions of times per second (microwave radiation). These fields penetrate through our bodies into the depth of every cell causing thermal and non-thermal health effects.
Polar molecules (like water) and surfaces (like cell membranes) react strongly to these alternating EM fields by oscillating, as do metals, charged molecules, and the magnetic particles found throughout our brains.
These oscillations cause tissues to heat. If the rate of absorbed radiation is greater than the body’s ability to cool it, there is measurable heating of tissues leading to ‘thermal’ effects (>1°C, burns and cellular damage). Governments only regulate devices based on this thermal effect.
If the rate of absorbed radiation keeps tissues below this threshold, the effects are considered ‘non-thermal.’ It is important to realize there is always tissue heating and ‘hotspots.’
Regardless of the heating effect, however, the EM fields influence biological processes. The scientific literature is clear that these ‘non-thermal’ effects are just as, if not more, damaging to our health in the long-term.

The human body is fundamentally bio-electrical.

The smallest electrical charges and potentials are responsible for regulating nearly all biological processes. This means we are sensitive to the smallest currents and fields.
Electromagnetic pollution disrupts these critical processes, altering normal function, and leading to chronic health effects, neurological impairment, debilitating diseases, and cancer.
The central nervous system and our internal ‘wiring’ transmit electrical impulses. Our cells use EM energy to communicate. Our DNA is an effective fractal antenna and a biological semi-conductor. At the most basic level, the human body is both antenna and transmitter of a wide range of EM signals. Life is built on this energy and we should be very careful as to how we use it.

Your Cellphone is Damaging Your Health

Why we must proceed with caution

The functioning of the human body is still a mystery. Even the most basic methods of cell communication still elude us. We may be able to see what happens, but this does not mean we know how or why. Being ultimately ignorant of both the physics and the biology, we have drastically altered our environments with EM pollution that affects us in ways we don’t fully understand, creating a growing health crisis as we hand out devices to toddlers and put towers on every street corner.

Governments regulated wireless devices based on their Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) rating

SAR is measured in watts per kilogram and represents the instantaneous absorption of energy by the human body. Cellphones must be less than 1.6 W/Kg, but this is only to prevent thermal health effects.
The standard is decades old and outdated. It ignores volumes of scientific research on the real health effects of wireless radiation. It serves the industry, not to protect the customer.

SAR fails to account for the cumulative effects of radiation in both time and space

All radiation damage is cumulative. Energy is being absorbed by the body, tissues are being violently oscillated, and electric and magnetic fields are interacting at the deepest levels of every cell.
SAR fails to consider the proximity of other phones, Wi-Fi routers, and cell towers in your vicinity. Multiple sources of radiation overlap and multiply the effects, creating constructive interference and more possibility for local ‘hotspots’ in the body.

Test methods to measure SAR are ultimately inadequate

To measure SAR, a mold in the shape of half a head is filled with a solution of water, sugar, salts, and preservatives. The phone is then turned on and electrical field measurements are taken.
This assumes the most complex biological system in the known-universe – the human brain – is basically just salty, sugary water with preservatives mixed in.
Testing is conducted ‘off-the-body’ for body testing, meaning the devices safety guidelines may not apply if they are worn in contact with the body, as many people do.
SAR tests fail to account for eyes, which are highly sensitive to radiation. They have very little blood flow to cool the heat increase and their size attenuates energy well.
Most critically, during SAR testing, there are no electrical currents developed since the solution is all at the same potential. In real-life, EMF creates measurable electrical currents that flow in the brain and body.

Non-thermal Health Effects Are Proven

Electromagnetic (EM) radiation creates free-radicals and depletes the body of antioxidants

Free-radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons that actively break the bonds of other molecules (including DNA).
Damage from the oxidative stress of free-radicals is responsible for disease progression, aging, and cancer.
Studies consistently show oxidative stress in EMF-exposed tissues and the chronic depletion of antioxidants.

Genetic damage and cancer

In 2011, The World Health Organization (WHO) classified wireless radiation as a “possible human carcinogen,” group 2B. The current evidence suggests it should be moved up to group 1.
A number of epidemiological studies have found increased risk of brain and nervous tissue cancers correlated to mobile phone use.
The risk is much elevated for those who have used mobile phones for more than a decade.

Electromagnetic radiation leads to neurological issues and diseases

Review of all the research makes it clear that mobile phones affects both brain and nervous tissues in negative ways, leading to functional alterations and degenerative processes that lead to disease and cancer.
Oxidative stress and damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been linked to neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Increased ROS drives a reactive cycle that leads to ultimately leads to cell-death. Therefore, chronic EMF pollution and mobile phone use is strongly linked to neurological disease.
Beyond just free-radical damage, too many studies document cellular damage, protein changes, degeneration of myelin sheathing (nerve covering – glial cells), inflammation, altered blood flow, and apoptosis (programmed cell death) to the brain and nervous tissue.
Reduced memory performance, altered brain activity, reduced brain plasticity, and behavior, learning, and reaction performance can be altered by EMF.

EMF Is Not A Normal Toxin

EMF acts synergistically with other toxins

The data is clear. A wide range of genotoxic and mutagenic toxins like ionizing radiation, bleomycin, hydrogen peroxide, gadolinium, ultraviolet light, and dozens more are worse when combined with wireless radiation.
EMF that increases permeability of the blood-brain-barrier or similar cellular barriers in the rest of the body (epithelial cells), permits toxins, viruses, bacteria, and heavy-metals access to tissues normally prohibited.

EMF penetrates the body's natural defenses

Normal toxins access the body through the lungs, nose, mouth, stomach, or skin – mostly what we breathe or ingest. The body has some natural defenses, barriers, and detoxifying methods to limit harm from the chemical toxin.
Brain tissue, for example, is hard to reach. EMF penetrates ALL cells deeply, into the very nucleus to interact with coiled DNA.

Many studies underestimate the effects of EMF on human health

There is very limited data and studies on the effects of EMF on human health. Many studies are performed on rats and mice, which is standard for toxicology research. A review of the physiological differences shows that rodent studies will underestimate the effects in humans.
EMF is highly dependent on structural differences in brain and tissues, and the composition of those tissues. Where the radiation attenuates and the specific conductivity of tissues is critical. While rat brains have structural similarities to humans, there are far fewer neurons and the differences are very large.

Rat brains are absent magnetic particles – magnetite – that is found in abundance in human brains. Magnetite reacts strongly to EM fields. Millions of magnetite crystals are found in every gram of human brain tissue naturally, while even higher concentrations are achieved from environmental pollution.
Research shows a specialized cell called the glial cell is particularly sensitive to EMF. Glial cells comprise 60% of the rodent brain and 90% of a humans. One type of glial cell is called an astrocyte. Astrocytes have many critical functions scientists are learning, but the ratio of astrocytes to neurons is a good judge of a species intelligence. A mouse has 0.3 astrocytes per neuron. A human has 1.65. Their shape and function make them vulnerable to EMF radiation and human brains have orders of magnitude more. There is no comparison.

EMF Is Not A Normal Toxin

Conductive metals in the body amplify the effects of EMF

Conductive metals in the body, like aluminum, respond immediately to EMF energy and oscillate in the alternating electric fields. Study rats do not have the same presence of metals and heavy-metals that most humans will have. What happens when aluminum adjuvants in vaccines enter the brain?

Studies on the health effects of EMF lack real control groups

There are no real control groups for true human epidemiological studies. We have to use the rat studies, but even there, control groups are hard to find. Read here about the curious case of the National Toxicity Study program rats.

Exposure to EMF is unavoidable

EMF pollution is everywhere. Before mobile phones, DECT cordless phones were rampant, and the microwave transmitting satellites have been in space for decades.
Some people are more sensitive and the individual make-up of the person will determine how well and for how long they will manage the effects of the chronic stress of EMF radiation.
