To
date, I have written in this column thirteen (13) articles on health
tips on the use of cell phones… as a public service to remind cell phone
users of the harmful effects of the excessive use of cell phone because
of radiation exposure.
Here
are additional health tips on the use of cell phones that I got from
the internet. Should you wish to confirm the information I am sharing
with the readers of this column; or should you need further information
to convince you of the health risks of cell phone radiation, please
check the internet:-
•
Do you know that different cell phones emit different amount of
radiation? And do you know that cell phones are just complex two-way
radios and that if one is talking on a cell phone, he/she is actually
talking and listening to a two-way radio that is broadcasting a very,
very high frequency signal right next to one’s head;
•
Do you know that the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a law
requiring retailers of cell phones to post notices on how much dangerous
radiation is reportedly being emitted by the cell phone units being
sold - for consumers’ information;
•
Do you know that one of the latest warning on cell phone radiation is
to keep your cell phone at least one inch away from your body at all
times while it’s on? A big problem for male cell phone users is that
they put their cell phones in their pockets – without bothering to check
whether their cell phones are on off or on mode;
•
Do you know that many parents give their children cell phones as
playthings and/or sometimes to soothe them to sleep and place the cell
phone under the pillow – without realizing that the skulls of their
children are thinner than the skulls of adults and that thinner skulls
admits more radiation. There are research studies that show that a young
brain is more vulnerable to brain damage/cancer than a mature brain;
•
Do you know that in 2008, researchers in the American Journal of
Epidemiology found that individuals who kept their cell phones against
one side of their heads for several hours a day were fifty percent (50%)
more likely to develop parotid tumors;
•
Do you know that cordless phone chargers also emit radio frequency
power even when not in use. This being so, Wi-Fi and cordless phone
chargers should be removed in the bedrooms.
•
Do you also know that pulsed digital signals are more damaging than the
analog signals and they should not be anywhere near the head of the
bed. Also, baby monitors should not be placed closer than 6 feet to the
cribs.
(The
above information was taken from Internet sites re the book Zapped; Why
Your Cell Phone Shouldn’t be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to
Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution, by Ann Louise Gittleman,
an award winning New York Times best-selling author of over 30 books on
health and healing. In 2005, Ann Louise Gittleman was diagnosed with a
benign tumor of the parotid, one of the salivary glands located just
below the earlobe. It’s a very rare tumor. Ms. Gittleman is a heavy cell
phone user for years.)
•
Do you know that the French National Assembly passed a new
environmental bill last June that included the following health
protection directives against possible risk to electromagnetic fields
(EMF). The radiation emitted by cell phone is known as electronic
radiation.
– A prohibition on the use of mobile phones at school by students in kindergartens, elementary schools, and colleges.
– A prohibition on advertising and marketing mobile phones to children under 14 years of age.
–
Every mobile phone sold in France must provide Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) along with a recommendation to use a hands-free kit. The details
of how the information is to be presented are not yet finalized.
Let us reduce our cell phone radiation exposure by practicing health care measures on the use of cell phones.
Have a joyful day!
