In a world where wireless technology is ever-present, the Electrosmog Detector allows you to
hear the digital pulsing of man-made microwave radiation. These electronic pulsings could be from:
 |
- Digital cordless phones (DECT)
- Cell phones
- Computer wireless networks
- Bluetooth UMTS
- Wi-Fi
- Cell phone masts and base stations
- Baby monitors (wireless)
- Microwave technology
- Radar (for those near airports)
|
This electronic instrument exposes and converts the electromagnetic impulses it encounters into a collection of sounds (buzzing, screeching, pulsing) that is far more varied and illuminating than the click of a Geiger counter.
You can hear the amount, type, amplitude and quality of the pulsed electronic pollution created by local transmitters / emitters operating between 50 MHz and 3000 MHz, and enjoy the silence (and health safety) when the environment is clear. Hearing is believing!
The Electrosmog Detector is not an alarm, nor is it a warning device. It is an educational tool providing an awareness of your personal surroundings. It allows you to be aware of harmful electropollution in your environment so that you can take the appropriate steps to avoid prolonged exposure. Since the harmful effects of radiofrequency / microwave exposure are cumulative (like exposure to ionizing radiation), at a certain threshold which varies widely in the populace, it can trigger microwave illness or "electrohypersensitivity" rendering one incapable of functioning or living life to the fullest.
"A major contemporary threat to the health of Society is man-made 'electrosmog'. This non-ionizing electromagnetic pollution of technological origin is particularly insidious, in that it escapes detection by the senses - a circumstance which tends to promote a rather cavalier attitude regarding personal protection. Yet the nature of the pollution is such that there is literally 'nowhere to hide'. Furthermore, given the relatively short time for which humanity has been exposed to it, we have no evolutionary immunity either against any adverse effects it might directly have on our bodies or against possible interference with natural electromagnetic processes, upon which homeostasis appears to depend, for example, the Schumann resonance - a weak electromagnetic field that oscillates resonantly in the cavity between the earth's surface and the ionosphere at frequencies close to those of human brain rhythms, isolation from which has been found to damage human health."
- Dr. Gerard Hyland Two-time Nobel Prize nominee and biophysicist from Warwick University (UK)
"The present threshold level for microwave radiation is more than 10,000 times higher than the level where serious cell changes and damage on the DNA takes place."
"An operating mobile phone can be detected 100 kilometres away. Human brain waves are disturbed and distorted within a distance of 90 metres from a cell phone."
"It is dangerous to health to stay within 400 metres from a mobile base station, especially for children, youth, elderly or sick people."
- Dr. Miguel Muntané
"As a consultant on the health effects of wireless technology, I receive calls that can be broadly divided into two main groups: those from people who are merely worried, whom I will call A, and those from people who are already sick, whom I will call B. "Caller A, worried, commonly asks what kind of shield to buy for his cell phone or what kind of headset to wear with it. Sometimes he wants to know what is a safe distance to live from a cell tower. Caller B, sick, wants to know what kind of shielding to put on her house, what kind of medical treatment to get, or, increasingly often, what part of the country she could move to - to escape the radiation to save her life. "To answer caller A: No shield or headset will protect you from your cell or portable phone. There is no safe distance from a cell tower. If your cell phone or your wireless computer works where you live, you are being irradiated 24 hours a day.
"To caller B: To effectively shield a house is difficult and rarely successful. There are only a few doctors in the United States attempting to treat radio wave sickness, and their success rate is poor because there are few places left on Earth where one can go to escape this radiation and recover.
"There is simply no way to make wireless technology safe."
- Arthur Firstenberg
(Note: The Electrosmog Detector has NO digital or LED readouts. If you are a professional seeking a meter you can "read", this is NOT the type you are seeking.)
In 1991, the Electrosmog Detector would have just emitted a quiet hiss in most locations. Now it makes a lot of noise, especially in many urban locations and in many homes, offices and even schools and day care centers .
Anywhere that you spend your time - at home, in offices, schools, libraries, restaurants and when traveling, at airports and hotels, you can detect the electrosmog hotspots in your environment and be protected by avoiding those locations. If you hear anything in a bedroom, you can turn off or unplug the offending electronic device, or relocate to a safer bedroom.
Note: The Electrosmog Detector does not detect the extremely low frequency (EFL) emissions related to household / building wiring, overhead / underground power lines and electrical appliances.

Is it Possible to Use a Cell Phone Safely?
If you are someone who likes to read a book's ending first and have skipped over the numerous articles and studies on this disk, then the information here may come as a surprise, leaving you in shock and disbelief.
We have been asked the question above by those who have heard "rumors" of the dangers of cell phones and expressed their concern about the adverse health effects.
Our answer to that question would have to be: Not at this time (and possibly never).
" ... there really isn't a safe amount of mobile phone use." Dr. Gerard Hyland (UK)
"Cells are permanently and irreversibly damaged by cell phone frequencies."
Dr. Peter French (AUS)
"The new digital phones are microwave. The signal is pulsed to produce the digital signal. Pulses are shown to be worse than continuous waves in causing cell damage and cancer." ... "Electromagnetic Radiation is damaging to Brains, Hearts, Embryos, Hormones and Cells... and is damaging the genetic basis of life." Dr. Neil Cherry (NZ)
"No shield or headset will protect you from your cell or portable phone. There is no safe distance from a cell tower. If your cell phone or your wireless computer works where you live, you are being irradiated 24 hours a day."
"There is simply no way to make wireless technology safe." Arthur Firstenberg (US)
As Dr. Neil Cherry stated in May of 2000:
" My problem is that there is so much research that shows adverse biological and health effects, but there is a concerted campaign to ignore, discredit or attack the messengers. The studies are not generally known by authorities who trust bodies that appear to be reliable but who deliberately mis-quote and mis-represent the published research. This continues to delay measures to protect public health by retaining the strongly misproven assumption of tissue heating being the only effect."
"Cell phones and cell sites are producing significant health effects right now but few direct studies are attempting to identify them. You only see what you look for. If nobody is looking then nobody will see anything."
Dr. George Carlo , in October of 1999, made the following remarks:
"The most important measures of consumer protection are missing: complete and honest factual information to allow informed judgement by consumers about assumption of risk; the direct tracking and monitoring of what happens to consumers who use wireless phones; and, the monitoring of changes in the technology that could impact health."
"Alarmingly, indications are that some segments of the industry have ignored the scientific findings suggesting potential health effects, have repeatedly and falsely claimed that wireless phones are safe for all consumers including children, and have created an illusion of responsible follow up by calling for and supporting more research."
This research the industry is "calling for and supporting" comes with restrictions that inhibit or curtail true scientific inquiry. While the FDA administers cell phone radiation studies, there is no longer funding available in the U.S. for research independent of telecommunications industry control.
Research funds are withheld from those independent and ethical scientists who have demonstrated their personal integrity and willingness to seek out the truth, wherever it may lead them.
Dr. Robert Becker (author of The Body Electric and CROSS CURRENTS - A Startling Look at the Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation on Your Health ) in May 2000 stated:
"There are now too many industrial and political interests vested in the exponential growth and profits of the global telecommunications industry, regardless of the impact on cancers and neurological disease".
Again quoting Dr. Gerard Hyland (formerly of the Department of Physics, Warwick University, UK):
"What is so appallingly scandalous from a regulatory point of view is that the majority of these symptoms have been known - from experience with radiation having certain features in common with that now used in mobile telephony - for over 25 years, but have been studiously ignored, presumably on account of the negative impact their revelation would undoubtedly have had on the market growth and development of mobile telephony products; it is interesting in this connection to note the following statement that appeared in a United States Defence Intelligence Agency Report on contemporary Soviet research into biological effects of low intensity microwave radiation, dating from as long ago as 1976:
"If the more advanced nations of the West are strict in the enforcement of stringent exposure standards, there could be unfavourable effects on industrial and military functions."
So, if you have a cell phone and adamantly refuse to give it up , how can you still use it (for that rare emergency call) while protecting yourself and those around you from its known harmful effects? Let's examine a few key points, but remember that NONE of these can be used as justification for having a cell phone because these measures won't guarantee your safety nor the safety of those around you. Additionally, cell towers will still need to exist, damaging everyone's health 24/7!
So the first point for safety is the use of a proper headset, as this can slightly reduce one's risk for deadly brain tumors (and disfiguring eye and ear tumors).
Hands-free earpieces: Contrary to popular belief, research has shown that using hands-free type devices may actually channel more radiation to your brain. Although results of these studies are not consistent nor do they clearly delineate the dangers, due to the many complex factors of position, location, power output, etc., using a hands-free device may give the user a false sense of security and thus lead to even more unnecessary and dangerous cell phone use. By itself, a headset can act as an antenna that actually channels radiation to your brain.
Using the speaker phone: This is one way to keep the cell phone away from your head, but in order to use your speaker phone option, your cell phone would still be an unsafe distance from your body. You also need a quiet environment in order to hear and be heard on speaker phone. The ideal security distance from a cell phone is at least 10 meters (almost 33 feet). Since that is not practical for anyone, do what you can to keep the phone away from your body (and anyone else around you) when you are using it, or when the phone is in standby mode.
An alternative headset: There is a headset that "may" help decrease your brain's exposure to RF/MW. It will NOT offer you complete protection by any means because the cell phone itself still has to be far too close to your body. This device is called the RF3 airtube headset and incorporates an acoustic exchange principle (somewhat like a doctor's stethoscope) to channel sound through a tube, rather than using a wire all the way to a headset earpiece that can focus more of the microwaves into your head.
Since chromosome damage and alteration in EEG occurs at 0.1 microW/cm2 power , per Dr. Miguel Mutané's calculations, 10 meters (about 33 feet) is the safety distance from a cell phone to avoid chromosome damage. Keep in mind at all times that the damage you are causing to the brain (and various other parts of your body) is cumulative . So every call you make on your cell phone is "collect". At some future time in your life, payment will be coming due. The more time you spend on your cell phone, the more damage you are causing to your cells and DNA which can lead to the onset of one or more chronic illnesses or catastrophic health failures.
"But don't keep the phone in a breast pocket or on your belt near your liver, kidneys, womb or testes because the microwave radiation can break chromosomes wherever they are."
Dr. Neil Cherry , University of Lincoln, New Zealand
If you have to make an emergency cell call, do it FAR AWAY from others, especially children and babies. Children, with their thinner skulls and rapidly developing bodies are three to four times more susceptible to harm, so be responsible and protect them.
(NOTE: Common sense dictates that in a REAL emergency where a child or adult is in immediate danger and in need of emergency care, don't leave them to go find a cord phone. In such a situation, use of a cell phone close to that person would be justified.)
Don't place calls from within a car or truck (bus, train, plane, etc.): The transmitter inside your cell phone periodically sends radio wave signals to the nearest cell mast so that the network knows where you are when a call comes through. When you are on a call, the cell mast monitors your phone to ensure it is performing at an optimum power level. If you are out of range or an obstruction is encountered, the cell mast sends a signal to the phone causing it to increase its output power. The metal framework of a car (train, bus, etc.) can partially block the signal, causing a surge in power (recorded at up to 6 times). These power surges also dramatically increase the cell phone's electromagnetic fields (ELF) causing damage to the organs, tissues and cells within that field. The car's metal framework reflects microwave signals inside which bounce around the interior, causing more cumulative damage to the occupants, especially children and babies who are far more vulnerable to the harmful effects. This can also happen within buildings (due to metal window frames, inner wall wiring & pipes), buses, trains, planes, elevators, etc.
NEVER use a cell phone while driving: If you read articles 29 through 34 carefully, you will already know that you should NEVER use a cell phone (hands-free or hand-held) while you are driving, nor should you drive within 15 minutes or longer AFTER making a call. Your brain (specifically frontal & temporal regions) needs time to recover from the effects of the radiation. This recovery time can vary from 15 minutes up to an hour (and in some, much longer) after the cell call, depending on a wide variety of factors such as your state of health, toxins in the blood, etc. A study in the UK found that after a 2 minute cell phone call, the brains of most study participants were still showing highly erratic electrical (EEG) patterns for up to 7 days!
Remove your glasses before you make a call: Most glasses have a metal frame (inside the plastic) that can act as an aerial and metal rims around the lenses that can focus the radiation onto the surface of the eye, increasing your chances for cataracts or tumors of the eye.
Women, avoid wearing an underwire bra: The problem created by metal wires in eyeglasses also applies to underwire bras. As you drive around the city, while you live or work near cell towers and even more intensely when you are using a cell phone, the wire in your bra acts as a passive aerial, receiving and then re-radiating the radiofrequency/microwave emanations directly into the delicate breast tissue cells. (Another good reason to stop using underwire bras is they inhibit the effective circulation of the lymphatic fluids which can cause a pooling of toxins and waste products in the breast tissue. Add to that the radiofrequency emissions and you have exponentially increased your chances for developing breast cancer .)
Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): For women using these birth control devices, you need to be aware of the connection between IUDs, cell phones and cancer. A Swedish study showed that ninety percent (90%) of the women who used a copper-T I.U.D. as their birth control method, while simultaneously using cell phones, developed uterine cancer; the cause being that the I.U.D. functioned as a transmitter and receiver of unnatural, dissonant vibrations.
Dental work - Unavoidable Risks: Obviously, if you have ANY dental implants, metal braces, metal crowns or mercury amalgam dental fillings, these are going to create problems that you won't be able to avoid. Metals contained within the body (such as on the electrical meridians located in the teeth and jaw) can increase your microwave exposure in that area by up to 100 times (per Dr. Om P. Gandhi's research). Body Piercings (such as metal studs in the tongue, ear, nose, eyebrow, etc.) can do similar damage. The microwave frequencies can also cause amalgam fillings to release mercury vapour which can easily migrate into the brain or central nervous system.
Don't smoke, take drugs or drink alcohol while using a cell phone: Since talking on a cell phone for 2 minutes (or less) can open the brain barrier (and keep it open for up to 8 hours), you don't want any of the pollutants in your bloodstream to have unrestricted access to your brain. Per a study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) most Americans have over 280 toxic chemicals and heavy metals floating in their bloodstream as well as in their organs and brains. Mercury and aluminium have been linked to Alzheimer's and use of a cell phone can bring on early dementia.
KEEP ALL CALLS SHORT: Under 30 seconds would be advisable (studies have shown that the blood-brain barrier is opened after only 2 minutes) and only use your cell phone for real life emergencies. Per the CFS research of Ryoichi Ogawa, MD (Japan), using a cell phone for 30 seconds, caused the blood flow in the upper eyelid ophthalmic artery (that branches off the carotid artery carrying blood from heart to brain) to drop to less than half of normal. This is probably due to the fact that within 20 seconds (or less), cell phone frequencies cause the red blood cells to depolarize and agglutinate (clump together like stacks of coins ... also termed rouleau or erythrocyte aggregation) as shown in blood studies using darkfield microscopy.
"With the weakening of the Blood Brain Barrier, the human brain is powerless against viruses, blood impurities and food additives. The glucose in the blood penetrates into the brain and destroys neurons. Proteins present in the brain may cause Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The barriers of cells are drastically weakened as well".
Dr. Miguel Muntané
"Lief Salford's research on microwaves and the Blood Brain Barrier is probably very relevant. The BBB protects the brain from toxins and viruses. About 2 minutes on a cell phone can open the BBB and allow toxins, including prions, into the brain".
Dr. Neil Cherry
Make sure your cell phone is off: When not being used for emergency calls, ensure your cell phone is turned all the way off. You may need to actually "unplug" the battery to ensure it is off. Look at your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer if needed to find out how to shut it off completely. (Remember, even in the "off" mode, your phone, and thus YOU, are still being tracked by satellite via the cell phone's tracker "chip". So if you are not comfortable with "Big Brother" monitoring your movements, listening to, recording, and archiving your calls, then don't own or use a cell phone.)
Keep cell phones away from children: Don't EVER allow children (prior to full maturity) to use or be anywhere near a cell phone. If you were a smoker, would you smoke in your car with children or blow smoke in your baby's face? Since people don't see or smell the RF/MW from their cell phone, they assume all is well ... when in fact it isn't. Don't forget to inform ANYONE with whom your children ride to school or extracurricular activities, that you don't want them exposed to cell phone radiation, and to please ensure all cell phones are off. There is also the increased vehicle accident risk (400% or more) if the driver is using a cell phone (both hand-held or hands-free).
"My advice to all parents is not to allow children to use mobile phones."
Dr. Michael Klieeisen
"If I were a parent I would now be extremely wary about allowing my children to use a mobile even for a very short period. My advice would be to avoid mobiles."
Dr. Gerard Hyland
"It is reprehensible to even consider that someone would allow a child to use a cell phone. The danger is far too great."
Dr. Joseph Mercola "Microwave radiation is about to turn young cell phone users into premature senile weaklings within this decade."
Dr. Miguel Muntané Some other facts to keep in mind, if you plan on keeping your cell phone:
CUMULATIVE EXPOSURE: Cell towers, microwave ovens, CRT Monitors, wireless home sound and computer routers, WiFi, WLAN, PDAs, hairdryers, electric shavers, electric blankets, baby monitors, photocopiers, casino slot machines, fluorescent lights, etc. These are all sources of EMF or RF/MW exposure that will accumulate and damage your cells. At some point, you could develop electrical hypersensitivity.
"Since our brains detect and use very low frequency signals from the Schumann Resonances, which have a mean intensity of about 0.0000001 microwatts/sq. cm. (0.1 picowatts/sq. cm.), it is not surprising that at exposures which are millions of times higher, there is increased brain cell damage and an increased risk of brain tumour in a dose-response manner. " Dr. Neil Cherry
"Regarding human Brain Neuron currents (Schumann Resonances) was stated by Dr. Neil Cherry, Lincoln University, New Zealand of 0.0000001 microW/cm2. The power of microwaves within the brain of a mobile user can be 10,000,000,000 times greater than the natural BRAIN SIGNAL". Dr. Miguel Muntané
You may want to read that again ... 10,000,000,000 is TEN BILLION . So by placing a call on that cell phone, you are exposing your brain to up to TEN BILLION TIMES your natural brain signals (that are linked to the Earth's natural frequency pulses - the Schumann Resonance). Can that really be healthy for your long-term survival?
"Electromagnetic Radiation is damaging to Brains, Hearts, Embryos, Hormones and Cells. It is therefore a threat to Intelligent Hearty Life. Electromagnetic radiation resonantly interacts with bodies and cells, interfering with cell-to-cell communication, cell growth and regulation, and is damaging the genetic basis of life". Dr. Neil Cherry
"Brains are very electromagnetically sensitive because our sight, thoughts, memories, learning and emotions use complex electromagnetic signals. Research in Germany in the post war period proved that human brains detect and use extremely small natural low frequency (ELF) EMR signals. Since RF/MW signals induce higher currents in human tissues and low frequency signals, it is inevitable that we will observe neurological effects from chronic RF/MW exposures". Dr. Neil Cherry
What about those "SAR" and "chip" shielding devices? We have researched a number of so-called SAR and chip "shielding" devices that supposedly lessen your exposure to harmful radiation. One device claimed a reduction of SAR exposure of "up to 89%". Here is what Dr. Gerard Hyland says about SAR and its relation to non-thermal harmful biological effects:
"The SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) refers only to the degree which microwave emissions from the antenna can heat biological tissue, and is in no way relevant to non-thermal effects that the emissions from a mobile phone may have on the user."
As for the cell phone radiofrequency "protection chips" being sold through various Internet sites, scientist, electrical engineer and advisor to UK government officials, Alasdair Philips of www.powerwatch.org.uk states:
"I can find no scientific or technical evidence that any of the so-called 'protection chips' actually protect you from anything, certainly not pulsing microwaves."
What about using a phone shield to block the microwave radiation coming from the aerial from entering your brain or negatively affecting other parts of the body when being worn on the belt, as with a hands-free phone? Dr. Gerard Hyland explains the problem with those:
"The two ELFs (at 8.34Hz and 2Hz) ... correspond to those found in the human EEG - specifically, in the ranges of the alpha and delta brain-waves, respectively.
"In the case of a GSM mobile phone, these two ELFs are reinforced by those of the essentially unscreenable magnetic fields associated with the current surges from the battery of the phone that are necessary in order to endow the microwave emission with the pulse characteristics required for TDMA. [See explanation of TDMA below] Peak magnetic field strengths as high as 40µT have been measured near the back of one particular model of phone, the noxiousness of which is indicated by recent experiments, employing chick embryos, which reveal an increased degree of mortality when the phone is protected by a proprietary shielding device that reduces the microwave output. With the device in place, the increased (microwave) power output necessary to maintain contact with the base-station necessitates stronger surges of current, associated with which are correspondingly stronger (and evidently more noxious) ELF magnetic fields. These ELF magnetic fields could thus pose an even greater hazard to human health than do those associated with the microwave emission, a matter that warrants further experimental investigation".
[Explanation of TDMA: The particular frequencies utilized in GSM that must be anticipated to be particularly 'bio-active' are those of the microwave carrier (900/1800 MHz) and those associated with certain pulsings that characterize the signal employed in the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) strategy that is used in GSM - specifically the multi-frame repetition rate of 8.34Hz periodicity associated with the discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode of the phone - an energy saving mode that becomes active when the user is listening but not speaking.]
Other interesting facts and "safety suggestions" about cell phone use:
Cell phones transmit at maximum power when you switch them on and off, when you dial out, when it connects or disconnects, and when it is ringing. Hold the phone well away from your body when you dial out and wait until the person answers before you put the phone near your ear. Hold the phone away from you when you finish the call and switch it off. When you are texting, hold the phone away from your body to send or receive a message.
When your cell phone is on standby , put it in a bag or somewhere away from you and others. Whenever possible, switch the phone off and keep it off between calls.
Males should not hold a cell phone on their lap when making calls, nor when sending or receiving a text message. The testicles are particularly vulnerable to microwave radiation.
Do not carry a cell phone on standby next to your body, especially not clipped to your belt, or in a blouse or shirt pocket (anywhere near the heart), shirt collar (near the thyroid), tucked into a bra, etc. If you do this you will irradiate your body tissues and vital organs or glands with high doses of microwaves each time your phone 'talks' to the nearest cell tower, which it does at full power when on standby. The parts of the body most vulnerable to microwave damage are eyes, breasts, and testicles, although all soft body parts are at risk.
Do not carry your phone (on standby) in a bag, purse, fanny-pack, etc., or hanging on a baby stroller anywhere near the baby's head or body. They will be receiving a high dose of microwave radiation every time the phone logs on to the nearest cell tower. Always keep cell phones (while turned on or in standby mode) at least 100 feet away from children or babies.Don't let a passenger in your car use a cell phone. Find a safe place to pull over to allow them to step out and use their cell phone well away from the car. Ensure anyone riding in your car has their cell phone turned OFF. As you travel, any cell phone in standby mode will be in almost continuous communication with cell towers.
When making a cell phone call, if you know the direction of the nearest cell tower, position yourself so that the cell phone is BETWEEN you and the cell tower (signal source). If inside a building, position the phone between you and the nearest window.
Only use your cell phone when it shows it is receiving the maximum signal strength. The farther away from a cell tower, theweaker the signal and the more your cell phone has to "power up", which causes more EMF- and EMR-induced cellular damage.
The EMF from a cell phone placed right next to your ear is 160 times stronger than the maximum allowable EMF from a computer video monitor.
Cell phones emit frequencies in the 2 Hz and 8.34 Hz bands that correspond exactly to the frequencies of electrical oscillations found in the human brain (delta and alpha brain waves).
Dr. L. Von Klitzing from Lübeck (Germany) reports that microwave radiation emitted by a mobile phone may alter the EEG of human beings standing 90 meters away from it (about 295+ feet). The minimum power which alters the EEG is 0.1 microW/cm2.
What about Bluetooth? Wireless headsets (such as Bluetooth) represent an even greater risk because the wire is replaced with a transmitter and receiver operating with low power at frequency levels between 900 MHz. to 2.4 Ghz. The maximum frequencies for wireless products compliant with Bluetooth specifications are 2.497 Ghz. The frequency power of wireless headsets rivals that of microwave ovens, which also operate at 2.4 GHz. Bluetooth is far worse for your health than using a standard cell phone for the occasional (and very short) emergency call because the pulses into your brain are continual (not to mention EMF pulses from the unit's transmitting base).
What about Wi-Fi? Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) connects people's laptops, cell phones and other devices to the Internet without hard wiring. Wi-Fi is now used in many homes, schools, offices, coffee shops, Internet Cafe's, etc. To increase your safety, stay far away from Wi-Fi and cell phone handset antennas. If possible, obtain an Electrosmog Detector so you can know when you're in a wireless "hotspot" so you can minimize your overall exposure. IE Laptop's (or some rare desktop's) internal Wi-Fi tends to place one close to the antenna and can pose considerable health risks from long-term exposure, although not as dangerous as holding a cell phone to your ear or wearing one on your belt. For laptop use, you can use a USB pen type Wi-Fi link from Airlink101 (Fry's electronics) or any other brand, which can be attached to a 6+ foot long USB cable to your laptop, and then turn off your laptop's INTERNAL Wi-Fi. For safety, it is best to use wired ethernet and turn off any Wi-Fi. Continual exposure to Wi-Fi can affect physiological behavior and with continuous exposure to these harmful microwaves, you may or may not cross the threshold to the development of cancer. (See articles 125 through 133 on this disk for more on this.)
Cell towers: The safety distance from those cell towers you see around your city should be 300 meters (984+ feet) for a 40 watt tower antenna and 500 meters (1,640 feet) for a 160 watt tower antenna. These are absolute MINIMUM distances for short time periods and not to be considered safe distances for long hours at work. Cell towers should NEVER be allowed this close to homes, schools, daycares, hospitals and offices where people have to live or work.
Few cities in the U.S. are paying attention to the dangerous proliferation of cell towers, but one progressive town council in Butler, Pennsylvania, ruled in 1993 that a protection distance of 610 metres (2,000 feet) should exist between antennas and buildings such as schools and apartments. In Russia, cell towers are required to have a 2,000 meter (almost 6,562 feet) "no man's land" around each mast to ensure no one lives or works within this danger zone. Their cell tower broadcast threshold is almost 100 TIMES LOWER than ours, yet they require this level of safety for their people. In the U.S., public health concerns always take a back seat to the money motivations of industry and government.
Summary
"Unlike many chemicals, no particular body organ is the target of an RF signal. The whole body acts as an aerial and electric current flows down through our bodies to earth. Hence RF/MW radiation impacts on every organ in our bodies.
"Whole body organs such as our circulatory system and bone marrow are sensitive to the altered electric fields and the currents flowing through them, impairing our immune system and producing leukaemia, and cancer and illness throughout human bodies". Dr. Neil Cherry
We have given you a brief overview of the many dangers of cell phones, cell towers and the harmful radiofrequency/microwaves they emit. Cellular technology, as it stands today, is inherently lethal and there appears to be no way of getting around it.
We don't want you to blindly "believe" us. Instead, be open but discerning. Do your own research into the numerous studies and determine for yourself whether or not the risk is as grave as the picture we have painted. Don't trust the telecommunication "authorities" or bureaucrats. The bottom line is "caveat emptor": Let the buyer beware.
Two of the world's largest insurance companies, Allianz and Lloyd's of London , refuse to underwrite cell phone devices due to the health hazards. If you know anything about product liability insurance, this fact alone should set off alarm bells, whistles, fog horns and red flags!
Many people who read this material will STILL go ahead and use their cell phones, justifying it in their own mind while ignoring the risks to not only themselves, but to everyone around them. You see this type of behavior in those who continue to smoke, even after they have a lung removed because of lung cancer. To each his/her own.
Our 10 "Suggestions" on How to Protect Your Health
(These suggestions are based on the many epidemiological studies we have researched on the health-damaging effects of cell phone and cell tower radiofrequency/microwaves. Several studies are included as part of this disk.)
If you really do care about yourself, family, friends and our world, then:
1) Cancel your cell phone service contract as soon as you possibly can.
2) Deposit your cell phone into the nearest recycle bin (or return it for a refund, if that's possible, based on the fact that they failed to inform you of the dangers).
3) Subscribe to an answering service and get a pager (if you really need to remain in touch all the time due to your business obligations).
4) If concerned about emergencies, switch to pay-as-you-go until you can do without.
5) Don't buy ANY wireless device for home or office. Use only hard-wired systems.
6) Get rid of Wi-Fi wireless networks and use wired ones instead. They're more secure and infinitely better for your health and the health of those around you.
7) Dump your microwave oven (because of the harmful radiation exposure).
8) Return or trash your cordless (DECT) home phone and get a standard cord phone.
9) Make phone calls from the safety and quiet of your home or office (or a pay phone).
10) Move well away from any cell towers (or organize in your community to get the cell company to move the towers).
Realize that every cell phone or PDA user demands a wireless connection via a cell tower and their demand for wireless services ensures that a cell tower will be installed outside someone's home or office, school, daycare, playground or hospital.
We also highly recommend the Electrosmog Detector that allows you to determine if your home or office (or your child's school or daycare) is safe from harmful Wi-Fi, DECT or GSM (cell tower) radiofrequency/microwave pulsations.

Remember, you still have a choice. Put your health first, NOT the greed and profits of the telecommunication and electronics industries. They are only concerned with THEIR bottom line. They won't pay for you to get well again, so why give them the money to make you sick in the first place?
Doing the 10 suggestions above will go a long ways towards preserving your brain's neurons for those golden retirement years. It could also help to lessen your chances of developing Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) which can destroy your life.
Can you imagine what may happen to your children if they are already being allowed to use cell phones and other wireless devices? If the current trend is not reversed, there will be MANY children today who by the time they are 25 or 30 years old, will either be dying of a cancerous tumor, leukemia, senile dementia or some other microwave radiofrequency-induced condition. Who will care for your children?
Also, by doing the above you will be contributing to the reversal of a potentially lethal technology which is being driven by misinformation and the deceitful telecom industry which strives to meet consumer demand (that THEY create). Their sole concern is their bottom line profit ... NOT your health and definitely not the environment.
In order to provide the services cell phone users are demanding (such as Web browsing, text messaging, camera, video, Broadband Speed Wi-Fi, MP3 player, built-in E-mail, etc.), the saturation of radiofrequency must be dramatically increased, which means many more cell towers, closer together and at higher rates of power for better coverage. So by having a cell phone and demanding these higher capabilities for your wireless toy, YOU are directly contributing to not only your own future ill health, but everyone else's at the same time!
Some final reminders and food for thought:
"In our growing dependence on wireless telecommunication systems, we increasingly find ourselves absorbing electric and magnetic wave emissions from these microwave systems. Although the human species has evolved amidst a broad band of these same frequencies that originate from throughout the universe, in the last few decades, human exposure to artificial, repetitive signals has risen dramatically - by more than a trillion times ... "We can only expect further quantum leaps in exposure as the plans of investors, the military and other government agencies materialize: to have every dwelling, school, office and store in the world become a microwave transmitter for wireless computers and related linkages, and to have transceivers implanted within our bodies as guardian 'digital angels'." Dr. Andrew Michrowski
"A primary means of achieving public health protection is a strong move away from "wireless" technology. If major cities moved to fiber-optic cables for all telephone, fax, radio, TV and Internet services, removing the need for broadcast transmission sites, the mean public exposure could be kept below 10 nW/cm². Mobile phones, coupled with their base stations, pose the highest risk in their present modes of introduction. The usage of mobile phones should be minimized and discouraged, and the base station placement should be remote from where people live and work, from hospitals and schools." Dr. Neil Cherry
"I have no doubt in my mind that at the present time, the greatest polluting element in the earth's environment is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields. I consider that to be far greater on a global scale, than warming, and the increase in chemical elements in the environment.'' Dr. Robert O. Becker
"It took about 100 years for us to figure out that cigarette smoke was dangerous. It took about 80 years to figure out that asbestos was dangerous. [But] it took us five years to figure out that mobile phones are dangerous, once we started to look.
"What were talking about here is an effect that, at least in terms that are able to be recognized, is greater than smoking and asbestos." Dr. George Carlo
"People whose houses are in a field gradient strength of 1.5 to 3 volts/metre will get their immune system reduced by nearly 90% after 6 months and many will have nightmare lives with headaches, rashes, forgetfulness and perhaps electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) and after 5 years the cancer rate increases by about 2 (times) per mast per year of exposure. Dr. J.C. Walker
"Dr. Ross Adey has found out that by using 0.75 milliwatts per square centimeter intensity of pulse modulated microwave at a frequency of 450 MHz it is possible to control ALL aspects of human behaviour!" Dr. Rauni Leena Kilde, MD
"Most of us have a vision of a clean, green world with a safe environment for our children. We have to recognise that we have inadvertently created a dangerous world and reverse the trend so that our visions and dreams can come true." Dr. Neil Cherry
"Microwave transmitters are not toys; they are weapons. Brother's wireless revolution has induced millions of fools to voluntarily point these weapons at their own heads. The wireless revolution is not only about money, it is about control. It is about acclimatizing the masses to accept the dehumanizing parameters of Orwellian surveillance. A police state best flourishes when its citizens are sick, dimwitted cyborgs who are easy to track and control." Amy Worthington |
