< Back to News page Hands-Free Mobile Phones "Emit More Radiation"
Yahoo.News (UK&Ireland), April, 2000 http://www.emf-health.com/reports-handsfree.htm "Some hands-free kits for mobile phones can increase radiation exposure to the brain, according to new research. Consumer watchdogs found that the earpieces act like aerials, directing up to three times as much microwave radiation into the brain as a phone held next to the head. Some experts are now advising users to throw away the kits, millions of which have been bought by people believing they reduce the risk of cancerous brain tumours." Scientific tests were ordered in the wake of medical studies in Britain and overseas suggesting that mobile phone radiation is linked to brain tumours, genetic damage and a range of illnesses, including Alzheimer’s. The industry has consistently denied that there is any proof of danger, but many companies and individual users bought hands-free kits to cut exposure to radiation. The tests for the CA’s Which? magazine found that instead of offering protection, the two devices tested actually acted as aerials, and channelled three times as much radiation from the phones into the users’ heads. The resutls from Which? - the trading arm of the CA - came from tests on hands-free kits for a Philips Savvy phone sold by BT Cellnet and for an Ericsson A101-8S sold at Carphone Warehouse. While the watchdog did not have time to test other kits, it said it believed the results would be similar. Graeme Jacobs, Editor of Which? magazine said: “If you’re worried about levels of radiation from your mobile phone, you shouldn’t rely on a hands-free set. The two models we tested tripled the radiation to your brain..." Cell Phone Dangers: How Electromagnetic Radiation Disrupts Nature’s Design "Electromagnetic pollution (EMF) may be the most significant form of pollution human activity has produced in this century, all the more dangerous because it is invisible and insensible." ~ Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Spontaneous Healing and 8 Weeks to Optimum Health Up until 100 years ago, throughout billions of years of earth’s evolution, organic life had been .exposed only to the naturally occurring electromagnetic field of subtly low frequency range of about 7.8 Hz. And it had been in this subtle frequency range that living cell’s evolved and developed normal metabolism. However, today’s modern technology has dramatically changed the environment and brutally introduced all living organisms to unnatural new high frequencies of electromagnetic radiation emitted by all electrical appliances. With the explosion in radio and TV broadcasting stations, radio telephone networks, cordless phones and cell phones, the density of radio waves and microwaves around you is now many millions of times higher than natural levels. The same applies to Extreme Low Frequency (ELF) fields produced by the dozens of electrical appliances in households in the industrialized world and the power lines feeding those devices. Industrialized countries in North America, Western Europe and China emit so much ELF energy that it can be sensed by satellites in space. Scientists estimate that YOUR daily exposure to EMF radiation is 100 Million Times higher than it was in your Grandparents’ time Exponential growth in background EMF radiation. With the enormous increase of electromagnetic and radio wave radiation, increasing numbers of illnesses such as allergies, neurodermatitis, fatigue, asthma, heart disease, brain cancer, depression, sleep disorders and ill temper are on the rise. In 1994, Nobel prize winners Alfred Gilman and Martin Rodbell determined that the body’s cells communicate with each other by subtle low electromagnetic signals. These signals carry all the vital information that, through the process of transduction, are translated into biochemical and physiological processes of the body. EMF can potentially distort and disrupt these cellular communication signals resulting in abnormal cellular metabolism and consequently illness.
~ Dr. Thomas Magnussen, PhD, EMX Corporation Click here for more clinical findings. Children are at GREATER RISK Because Their Skulls Have Not Completely Thickened Exposure of young children to EMF may be more detrimental to their health, especially during the development and maturation of the central nervous sytem, immune sytem, and critical organs. “Malignant brain tumors are the second leading cause of death in children [under age 15] and young adults [under the age of 34]*”. In Australia, they’re the NUMBER ONE. And experts are blaming it on increased EMF radiation exposure from the use of cell phones. * Statistic provided by NeurologyChannel.com Dr. George Carlo, a leading epidemiologist, was hired by the CTIA (Cellular Telephone Industry Association) in 1993 to head a $28 million research program and prove that cell phones were safe – and HE FAILED! What he did find and share in his book that exposed the wireless industry is that there is a significant health risk for people that use cell phones. In many cases doctors who perform surgery on brain tumors and lesions are able to tell which hand their patient uses to hold their cell phone. There is that much of a link! Dr. George Carlo: Chief Scientist of the World’s Largest Research Effort into Wireless Safety "One by one, alarming signs appeared in Dr. Carlo’s research: that cell phones interfere with pacemakers, that developing skulls of children are penetrated deeply by the energy emitted from a cell phone, that the blood brain barrier which prevents invasion of the brain from toxins can be compromised by the cell phone radiation and, most startling, that radio frequency radiation creates micronuclei in human blood cells, a type of genetic damage known to be a diagnostic marker for cancer." ~ from Cell Phones: Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age by Dr. George Carlo and Martin Schram "Dr. George Carlo... ran the cell phone industry’s research program for 6 years until he quit in the pique of conscience. The industry – worth $200 billion a year – wanted him to continue saying all was well. He couldn’t." Mitch Alborn, Author of TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE From a Radio Commentary After Seeing Dr. George Carlo on ABC’s 20/20 One thing is becoming clear: A one time exposure might not do much, but with cumulative stress resulting from repeated exposures, a tipping point is reached and your body’s repair mechanism could start breaking down... The harmful effects of exposure to EMF appear to take place slowly over time. The health cases that came to light in the 1990s most likely had their origin in the 1980s or before. The long-term effects of damage inflicted today won’t be known for years to come. The EMF problem has been categorized as a new form of pollution as consequential as air and water pollution. It has also been likened to the hazards of asbestos and cigarette smoking. In terms of its snowballing health effects, it’s been compared to the slow process of lead poisoning. If the previous environmental issues involving tobacco, asbestos, and lead are any indication, it takes years and even decades to accumulate the amount of evidence that would convince the government to take action. In the case of cigarette smoking, it took two decades of study and 100 years of consumer use to gather enough data to meet research standards to demonstrate the need for the U.S. Surgeon General’s warning label on cigarette packs. Some experts say that in the case of cell phones, it will not take that long as data are coming in at a faster pace. But at the present the authorities can only urge people to exercise caution. Scientists estimate that our daily exposure to EMF radiation is 100 million times higher than it was in our grandparents’ time. This has been referred to as the “largest biological experiment ever.” The purpose of this blog is to report on the health consequences of this experiment as they are now being discovered by experts, and to offer viable solutions to protect you and your family from this ever-present, albeit invisible, presence in our environment.
