On September 14, 2009, the United States Senate convened for hearings on the health effects of cell phones. Among those who testified was Dr. John Bucher, associate director of the National Toxicology Program at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. He stated: “Recently, there has been some indication that there is an increase in brain cancers in people who have used these cellular communication devices for several years.”

Dr. Bucher’s agency is funding a large-scale trial, but not in people, in rodents. These animals will be given the type of exposure humans get when using cell phones. Unfortunately, the results will not be available until 2013. Will it be too late?

Another expert who testified was Dr. Siegal Sadetzki, MD. She is the director of the Cancer and Radiation Epidemiology Unit at the Gertner Institute in Israel. Dr. Sadetzki recently published the results of a study, in which she and her colleagues found a link between cell phone use and cancer. According to that study, those who frequently use cell phones on one side of the head are 50% more likely than those who do not use it to develop a tumor in the salivary gland on that side of the head.

In his testimony he said: “What concerned me was that, in my study, I saw consistent positive results and they always appeared where there is biological plausibility.” These results appeared on the same side of the head where the phone was held, appeared for regular users, and appeared in rural areas compared to urban areas, where cell phone cancers could be expected to be higher. Dr. Sadetzki concluded her speech by advising the “precautionary principle.”

Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pennsylvania, agreed: “Precautions are not a bad idea,” he said.

With regard to cell phone use, the precautionary principle suggests practices such as using a wired headset instead of a Bluetooth headset and enabling the speakerphone function instead of holding the phone to your ear. Also, instead of keeping your cell phone in your pocket, keep the phone away from your body between calls. The main thing about the precautionary principle is to limit the use of mobile phones whenever possible. Make fewer calls and make calls shorter. Choose a low radiation cell phone and limit cell phone use by children, as their brain cells may be more sensitive to the effects of cell phone radiation.

The precautionary principle has good intentions. But it is equivalent to telling a smoker that smoking can be dangerous and that they should smoke fewer cigarettes. We now know for sure that smoking is life threatening, but it doesn’t stop people from turning on.

Mobile phones and other portable devices are fast becoming part of our culture. Mobile phones are everywhere. They are used by 87 percent of Americans and more than 4 billion people worldwide. High school students and now even elementary school kids use cell phones to talk to each other, and texting has become a social norm. We are addicted to mobile phones.

If you are concerned about radiation from mobile phones, if you think the precautionary principle is not enough or is simply not practical for you or your family, there are additional things you can do to protect yourself.

New technologies are emerging to protect electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by mobile phones and other electronic devices. Certain chips can be connected to cell phones and headphones to counteract EMR, and the special paint coated on your walls can limit EMR from adjacent apartments seeping into yours. These shields can help you if you stay behind them. Those who like to roam can wear special headbands, clothing, hats, gloves, and pendants designed to protect the user against RF and EMR.

However, if an ever-higher EMR environment is to become the norm, don’t we owe it to ourselves as a species to find ways not only to hide from EMR, but to adapt to it? Is it possible to take charge of our own evolution and gradually become more immune to increasing levels of electromagnetic radiation?

Through a recent advance in energy medicine, a natural remedy has been developed that suggests this may be possible. By strengthening the natural vital energy field that exists around the body and each individual cell, this remedy increases the body’s natural resistance to electromagnetic radiation and helps cells adapt to it, develop resistance and even develop natural immunity. . .

For those of us who simply cannot live without our cell phones, and who practice cell phone precautions whenever possible, but who feel like we need something more, there are options to protect and protect. Now there is also the option to adapt, evolve and ensure our survival during the 21st century.
